Note. Thank you for all the reviews so far I hope you are enjoying this story. Is there anything you'd like to see happen, any situation? Let me know in the comments.

"Gabs are you ready yet?" Shay shouted into the bathroom.

"Almost"

They had been getting ready for ages, Shay was sat on Gabby and Matts bed waiting for Gabby to emerge, she'd been in the bathroom for about forty minutes.

"Ready" Gabby stepped out from the bath in a low cut black all in one pants suit. She looked hot as, Shay stared at her mouth open. "What?"

"You look hot girl!"

Gabby smiled "you don't look too bad yourself. Come on let's go."

"There you go girls, ready to paint the town are we?" Hermann was doing the bar at Molly's, he handed them two cocktails.

"Not quite, we're only planning on staying here tonight." Shay replied.

Hermann raised his eyebrow, they never just stayed at Molly's, "ok, I'll hold you to that." He teased. "Enjoy your night girls."

They found themselves a booth and sat down, Gabby took a long sip of her cocktail. "This is good, what is it?"

"Oh that's the Shay, Hermann special."

"And it's got what in it?" She questioned.

"Secret." Shay put her finger to her lips. "So where's Matt tonight?"

"He'd got a construction job, then I'm pretty sure he said he was coming to meet Kelly." She rolled her eyes "part of me thinks he's coming to make sure I'm ok."

"What? He doesn't trust me!" Shay teased pretending to look shocked, she knew full well that Matt trusted her to keep Gabby safe but he definitely didn't trust her not to lead her astray. They both fell about laughing.

Several cocktails in, Shay suddenly exclaimed "there he is." Gabby swung round to see Matt entering the bar and heading towards Kelly. He'd still got his construction stuff on and he looked pretty hot, she sat staring at him for several minutes before Shay interrupted her thoughts.

"Umhm sweetie?"

"What? Oh um yea sorry."

"You can take advantage of lover boy later." Shay laughed. "Another cocktail?"

"Yes please."

Several hours later, about fifteen drinks in and cranking the music up Shay and Gabby were dancing around Molly's having a great time.

"Can we go dance somewhere?" Gabby said in Shays ear.

"We are dancing?" Shay looked at her confused.

"I mean somewhere else, with other people wanting to dance and not just us two."

"We can, if that's what you want?"

"I do!" Gabby was very sure, she'd not let her hair down in forever and tonight she felt good and didn't want the feeling to end. "I'll go let Matt know. Shall I tell him to make the sofa up?"

Shay nodded, she wasn't sure it was a brilliant idea but Gabby was a determined lady and if she wanted to go dance nothing was going to stop her.

"Hey baby" Gabby flung her arms round the back of Matt kissing his neck, Matt turned to look at his rather drunk fiancée "me and Shay are going to go dancing. Can you make the sofa up for her please?"

"Gabby is that a good idea?"

"Definitely" she said kissing him. She could barely stand let alone walk or dance.

"Gabriela, you've had quite a few, why don't you just go back home and dance there?"

Gabby stood back and looked at him "No! I want to go dance and your not going to stop me!" Her voice was full of annoyance. "You're always trying to tell me what I can and can't do. I want to dance and I'm going to dance! So if you can just put some blankets out for Shay to sleep with I'll see you when I decide to come home." Matt looked at her, he'd never seen her like this before, even before they'd got together she'd always known her limits. Recently he'd been easy on her and let her do and say things without much repercussions since he was worried about her. Things she'd have received light spankings for he'd let slide, and even yesterday he'd only lightly spanked her instead of what she'd have received a few months ago for the same behavior. He was wondering if that's why she thought she could get away with this. Before he could say anything though she'd turned to Shay and grabbed her hand. Without even saying another word to him she'd stormed out of Molly's and down the road to Game Changers. Kelly looked at him confused, never in the entire time he'd known Matt had he ever let anyone speak to him like that. And never in the entire time Gabby and Matt had been together had he heard Gabby get away with speaking to Matt in any disrespectful way. The old Matt would have dragged her to the back room of Molly's and set her ass alight, before grounding her. But he'd let her walk out of here without even saying a word.

"What was that all about?" Kelly asked looking at him confused.

"I'm not sure, I think I've been to easy on her these past few months and now it's biting me back." Matt looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him with the same confusion Kelly was, anger, worry and disappointment flooded his body as he stood up and told them he'd see them next shift before heading out of the bar.

Hermann looked at Otis, "dude it me and you covering the bar for a while I think." Otis nodded, he too could see Matt was fuming, he'd received spankings at work when he was candidate and knew how painful Matt could make them when he needed to, he really wouldn't want to be Gabby right now. "Kelly how mad is he, are we thinking one,two, more weeks?"

"Hermann I honestly don't know. I've never seen Matt look as mad as he did when he left here. One thing I'll say is I don't think Dawson will be sitting for a few days at least when he gets hold of her. How many have her a Shay had anyway?"

"I'm not sure, ten maybe more?"

"All cocktails?"

"Few shots as well."

"That'll explain it. I've never heard her dare speak to him like that before, let alone storm out after he'd basically said no."

"Nope neither have I" Hermann agreed. He thought back to when she became candidate and how sore her butt looked after her first candidate spanking, and Matts spanking for her shouting at him about her old apartment, she'd received two severe spankings within a few hours of each other. That was bad enough, but this was going to be worse he was sure of it and everyone in the bar knew it, there was nothing anyone could do to save her from her painful fate tonight.

"Gabriela Dawson!" Matt was standing in game changers and had finally found her on the dance floor. Shay had spotted him but couldn't warn her quick enough. Gabby swung round to face him, and could see he was mad, more than mad he was furious. Her stomach dropped. She knew she'd pushed it with the way she'd spoken to him at Molly's especially after he punished her for similar behavior this morning. Part of her wasn't sure if she'd done it on purpose because she was desperate to be back to normal and the spanking she got yesterday hadn't even left a sting, not that she'd tell him that. Part of her wanted to run and hide in another bar so she could keep dancing, but she knew if she did that he'd be even harder on her. It wasn't just what she'd said, or how she'd said it, neither was it the fact she'd stormed out disobeying his request to go home and dance there instead. No it was the fact she'd done it in front of all of their fellow fire house family and friends, as well as the general public that used Molly's.

"Matt, I'm sorry, I ..." she began, he put his hand up and she fell quiet, without a word he took her hand and pulled her from the bar, across the street to Molly's and into a waiting Uber. Shay who was hot on their tail, watched as they got in and drove away, she pushed the door open to Molly's and was met with all eyes on her.

Kelly was the first to speak "he found you?"

"Yup, I've never seen him so mad. What did he say after we left?"

"Nothing much, just he'd see us next shift and that he thinks he's been too easy on her these past few months."

"I don't think he'll be going easy tonight" Shay voiced out loud. Kelly nodded in agreement. "I've never seen her so..."

"Out of control" Hermann interrupted. Shay nodded. "I have but it was before you came to the house and before her and Matt got together, it was before Boden took her in hand for the first time."

Kelly nodded in agreement "she soon changed after that. Not completely and definitely not the Gabby we know now. Matt is the one that's kept her grounded the past couple of years. I'm sure he'll sort her out again."

Shay wouldn't say it out loud but she was a little worried about what was waiting for her best friend when Matt finally got her home.

"Corner" it was the first thing Matt had said since he'd found her in Game Changers, he was absolutely fuming with her but he needed to calm down. He couldn't administer a punishment in the state he felt at the moment as he'd hurt her and that went against every rule they had in this arrangement, putting her in the corner would assure he could calm down before he dealt with her.

He headed to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water before sitting down at the breakfast bench. She was definitely grounded for the next month at least, it would be the longest time he'd ever grounded her but he had to make sure she got the point. She would be receiving a spanking tonight for her behavior in Molly's, and one in the morning for her excessive drinking, she'd also find herself out for a run early tomorrow morning to combat the mega hangover she'd sure be suffering from. He cursed himself for letting so much slide, they wouldn't be here if he had just taken her in hand when she needed it. He placed the glass in the sink and headed towards the bedroom. Gabby was as instructed stood facing the far corner wall, she had removed her one piece and was standing in just her bra and panties. She looked very sexy, Matt pushed the thought out of his mind, he had to deal with the matter in hand.

"Gabriela come here" she turned and walked towards him her eyes looking down, she felt ashamed about how she'd treated him tonight and she knew he was mad with her, she couldn't bring herself to look at him in the eyes. "Gabriela, look at me please and explain yourself!" His voice was calm and collected. She looked up at him and could see his blue eyes had a touch of sadness, hurt and anger in them.

"I'm sorry" was all she could say.

"I asked you to explain yourself Gabriela!" Matt felt himself getting annoyed again. "Either you explain to me what is going on or I'm going to give you extras for every minute I wait." Gabby knew he was serious but she didn't have an explanation, if she told him that she wasn't sure he'd believe her, if she made something up he'd know she was lying. She stood staring at him, unable to voice her thoughts. "One... two... three... Gabriela I'm serious you either tell me why you have behaved like this or I'm going to be getting the switch out tonight!"

Gabby gulped, she knew they'd got one but it had never been used. She'd heard it hurt a lot from other people that had received it, she willed herself to say something. Anything.

"Matt I'm sorry..."

"You've said that."

"I am sorry" she pleaded

"You will be soon. Now explain yourself you have five seconds to start. One, two, three, four" Gabby couldn't speak, she daren't move, she opened her mouth but no sound came out. "Five." Matt sighed "very well, over you go."

He pulled her down across his knee and started to spank her SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT, he heard her gasp as he rained down hard against her backside. SWAT SWAT "I'm very" SWAT "disappointed" SWAT "in you" SWAT. Gabby cried hard, there was nothing worse than being told you'd disappointed the person you loved most. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT he tipped her forwards and rained down heavy swats against her sit spots. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT he pulled her to her feet and told her to go and face the wall again. She was confused was that it, her ass hurt a lot but it wasn't a bad spanking, she walked to the wall and put her hands on her head. She could hear Matt in the cupboard and wondered what he was doing, she didn't have long to wait before he called her back. She turned to walk back to the bed and her stomach turned, he'd got every spanking tool they owned out. The brush, paddle, crop, cane, whip and switch were all laid out on the bed.

"Are you going to use all of those" she gulped.

"Not tonight no, you are going to chose which ones you feel fit your crime Gabriela. As you can't seem to be able to explain to me why you did what you did, I think it's only fitting that I make you choose the instrument I'm going to use to light your butt up and remind you to never act that way again." Gabby stared at him, he'd never made her chose, but then she'd always been able to explain herself. The fact he hadn't added the belt into the mix was interesting though, maybe he thought he used that often and it wouldn't have the full impact. The crop was out as it gave her pleasure every time he used it and that wasn't the point. She hated the brush and the cane, but this was punishment and she wasn't supposed to enjoy it, yes they would be the best tools to cause maximum effect.

"The brush and cane sir" she spoke quietly as a tear ran down her check.

"Very well over my knee" she bent back over as he brought the brush down hard "you will be receiving 100 swats will the brush, 30 with the cane and so far you have earn't yourself 5 with the switch for making me wait for an explanation. You reach back at all and you will be receiving more. Do I make myself clear?" He'd brought the brush down repeatedly as he spoke, her ass was bright red and tears were once again streaming down her face "yes sir" came her sobbed reply, CRACK

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK he spanked her in silence, her ass turned from red to crimson to purple and she sobbed heavily, it took every fibre in her body not to reach back. CRACK Before long her body relaxed and she fully submitted to him

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK.

"Ouch" CRACK "ouch" CRACK Gabby was certainly regretting her behavior now, she didn't know how many swats she'd received already but she knew it wasn't over and her ass was already throbbing worse than it ever had, she honestly wasn't sure how much more she could take. She debated using her safe word for a break, but didn't want to make him any crosser with her. CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK

"Gabby, stand up." Gabby stood up wobbling slightly, Matt helped her steady herself before ordering her over the bed "these are going to be quick and sharp Gabriela. Are you ready?"

"Yes sir"

THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK

"I will not" THWACK "allow you to" THWACK "speak to people" THWACK "the way you" THWACK "did tonight" THWACK "if you ever" THWACK "speak to me" THWACK "or anyone" THWACK "like that again" THWACK "this will feel like a warm up. Am I clear?"

"Yes sir"

"THWACK"

Gabby held position knowing she'd got five coming with the switch, she had no idea how much it was going to hurt until the first swat made contact. WHOOSE "arregggghhh" Gabby screamed as a fire spread across her ass, she was pretty sure it had drawn blood, how she hadn't stood up she didn't know, before she knew it another swat hit WHOOSE. "Ouch Matt please" WHOOSE "I'm sorry" WHOOSE "please" WHOOSE. Gabby collapsed forward crying hard. All Matt wanted to do was scoop her up but he wanted her to feel her painful ass and think about her actions so instead of scooping her up into his arms he ordered her to the corner. Gabby walked stiffly across the room and did as he had said with her hands on her head. Her ass hurt worse than ever. She'd deserved every bit of it, she didn't blame him for being angry. If he'd have used every spanking tool available to him she'd have deserved it. She knew she would never ever give him reason to spank her like that again, and she would certainly never ever do anything to earn the switch again.

Ten minutes later Matt spoke "Gabby come here." She could tell by his voice that he was no longer mad, she walked over to him and collapsed in his arms sobbing.

"Matt I'm so sorry, I should never have spoken to you like that. I honestly don't know what came over me, I'd had a lot of cocktails and shots, and..." she let out a long sigh "I just wanted to feel free again. Wanted to forget what has happened this year and be me. I got carried away." She rested her head on his chest "I'm sorry."

Matt stroked her back gently "I know baby, I know. Do you need some cream?"

"No thank you. You won't learn if you don't feel the burn." She smiled up at him. "Thank you for making me pay for my actions."

"Gabriela, that spanking was because of your behavior. I haven't spanked you for excessive drinking yet, that'll happen tomorrow morning before you run 5K with me."

Gabby began to argue "but..."

"Gabby I can always spank you again now?" She fell silent. "In addition to the spanking and run you are grounded for a month."

Gabby's mouth dropped open. "A... a... a month?"

"Yes Gabby a month. I'm very disappointed in you and I will not tolerate that behavior. You will learn one way or another."

"Ok." She knew there was no point arguing it. "Matt I'm tired can we sleep now please."

"Sure baby" he lifted her up and placed her face down on her side of the bed. "Night baby, love you."

"Love you to."

Beep beep beep

"make it stop" Gabby groaned.

"Oh no you don't" Matt said grabbing the pillow she'd just lifted around her head "up you get."

"But my head hurts."

"Gabriela get up or your butt will hurt more than it's about to"

"It already hurts" she groaned "I don't want to get up."

"Gabby do I need to get the switch out again" he knew she'd hadn't liked it last night, and that the threat of him using it again would be enough to get her up.

"No! I'm up." She launched herself out of the bed and headed for the bathroom, her ass hurt like hell and she was about to receive a morning spanking for her drinking last night. She turned to look it the mirror, her ass was a mess, several deep purple welts were visible where the cane had repeatedly hit, on top of them were red welts where the switch had landed. How she was going to take another spanking and running 5K with her ass like this was a mystery to her. She felt sick, her head hurt and all she wanted to do was hide from the bright sunshine shining through the window. Her mouth felt dry, she reached for her toothbrush and tried to get rid of the horrible taste but it only made her gag and dart towards the toilet.

"Gabby are you spewing in there?" Matt had heard her vomit and knew she was regretting drinking so much.

"Yea, I'm ok." She shouted back. "Can I have some water please."

"Sure"

Matt headed to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water before returning to the bathroom and going in to her, "here, drink it and take these."

"Thanks babe, can we run later?" She looked at him hopefully, "don't really want to spew all over town."

"Don't think your getting out of punishment that easy. You either run this morning or I give you an extra ten with the belt. Your choice?"

Gabby thought for a moment, her ass hurt already and she didn't actually know what her punishment was this morning, she'd assume by what he just said the belt was involved. She weighed up running and potentially spewing everywhere and getting ten strokes on top of whatever he had planned, on top of her sore ass. Before she could say anything another bout of sickness hit her. Leaning back she said "I think I'll take the extra strokes"

Matt nodded "ok then. Once you've finished spewing we will get that dealt with."

Gabby groaned as he left the room, she was never drinking again, she felt so rough and she was pretty sure she'd completely shown herself up, she couldn't remember the night very well but from what she could remember she'd spoken to Matt really harshly then dragged Shay out of Molly's. She did however remember the spanking she'd received and it was not something she wanted to repeat ever again.

It took her over an hour to stop throwing up, her head felt like someone had run over it and her butt hurt bad. Finally getting up from the bathroom floor she headed into the bedroom. Matt was sat on the bed reading, beside him sat the paddle and his belt, Gabby's stomach dropped he really did mean he'd deal with her when she'd stopped throwing up.

"All done?" He asked looking up at her.

"I think so, I've never felt so rough."

"You won't get any sympathy from me." He said matter of factly "are you ready."

"Not really" she moaned "do you really have to spank me again? I've seen my butt and I think the message hit home." She folded her arms across her body and pouted at him.

"Really? You choose to give me attitude now?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and standing up, he took her hand, leading her to the corner "I don't think I quite got the message home about how I expect you to speak to people Gabriela. Maybe I should increase the swats for today? Or maybe increase your grounding? Maybe both?" Gabby pouted at him more, he slapped her ass hard, "I'm serious Gabriela, you won't sit down for a month if you carry on. I will spank you everyday, whether we're on shift or not!" Gabby didn't know what had come over her but she couldn't help herself she looked at him and rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." she said drawing out the word in a sarcastic tone.

Matt saw red and pulled her back from the corner, to the bed and straight over his knee. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT, she reached back crying hard. "Please Matt I'm sorry please"

"Gabriela move your hand NOW!"

She did as she was told and sighed to herself, why did she have to be so stubborn.

SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT the paddle rained down fast and hard, 30,40,50,60 Gabby was sobbing harder than ever, the fire in her behind burnt deep down, Matt had never been so angry with her. SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT

Gabby had lost count of how many times the paddle had made contact, she was certainly regretting last night, she was deeply bruised, there was no way she was going to be attempting to sit anytime soon. Finally Matt put the paddle down and pulled her to her feet.

"You are going to get 50 with the belt Gabriela and if you move you will get the switch again. I will not tolerate this behavior ever again."

"Yes sir" Gabby said as she bent over the bed. She'd only ever received 50 with the belt once before, and that wasn't on top of a already bruised and abused bottom, she was certain that this was going to hurt like hell. She wasn't sure of how many swats she'd got with the paddle, what she did know was that it had lit her ass on fire quickly. She screamed as the first CRACK echoed around the room, he knew how to land a hard swat that was for sure.

"Matt I'm sorry please." CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK "you ever" CRACK "behave like you did last night" CRACK "I will light your ass up" CRACK "in front of everyone" CRACK "you do not disrespect" CRACK "anyone in that way" CRACK "am I clear" CRACK

"Yes sir"

CRACK "good" CRACK "I don't ever want to repeat this again" CRACK.

Gabby fell forward onto the bed as Matt threw the belt down towards the ground, she was sobbing hard.

"I'm so sorry" she kept repeating it over and over, Matt knew she probably was now and he was almost positive that it wasn't something he was going to have to repeat.

"Corner Gabriela. Hands on your head. Twenty minutes."

Gabby sighed she knew it was coming but she was hoping he wouldn't make her this time, she could really do with some cream. She got up and walked towards the corner, when she got there she placed her hands on her head and stood with her feet slightly apart. Matt left the room to get the cream and himself a coffee. He sat down at the kitchen counter and looked at his phone.

Hey dude, just checking in. You ok? You looked pretty pissed last night. Shay is worried about Gabby, could you let me know that you've not killed her please? Sev

Matt chuckled not that anything about this situation was laughable but Shay was cute worrying about Gabby.

Hey dude. All good, I've not killed her no. Tell Shay she's alive but severely hungover and sporting a very bruised red bottom. She won't be repeating that behavior in a hurry. M

Just as he was about to put his phone away it pinged again.

Casey, everything ok? How long is Dawson grounded for this time? Need to know for bar coverage. H

Hey Hermann. Yup everything's ok, she's grounded for a month. M

Dude, I hope you didn't go easy on her? She deserved every stroke. Will she be ok for next shift? Sev

She'll be good, about to apply some cream that'll help with the worst of it. M

You waited till this morning? How didn't you lay it on her last night? If she was mine she'd have been spanked all night for that behavior. Sev.

She got a good spanking last night, hand, brush, cane and switch. Then this morning she got the paddle and belt once she'd stopped throwing up.

Wow the switch? Was that her first time? S

Yup, and she hated every stroke. M

Matt put his phone away and headed to the bedroom, Gabby was still stood in the exact position he'd left her twenty minutes earlier, she was still crying.

"Gabriela come here" she turned and walked towards him, large sobs still escaping her body.

"I'm so sorry" she said as she collapsed against chest "I'll never ever behave like that again."

"I'm sure you won't" Matt said rubbing her back gently, "come lie down so I can put some cream on." He gently helped her lay face down and applied a good layer of the cream to her bruised butt, she hissed as the cream made contact. "Do you want breakfast or sleep?" Matt asked.

"Sleep please." Gabby said crawling over to her side of the bed, Matt went to get up but Gabby reached out for his hand "baby hold me?"

"Of course baby." He climbed in next to her and they both fell asleep.
