Author note. So as mentioned the other day this chapter is based wholly on what went on in my personal life and the punishment I received. My husband is a key worker and I thought I could get away with breaking the rules while he was working and not get caught. I was wrong very very wrong. Now I'm going to put a warning because this goes further than the spankings I've written into the story so far and trust me it's a bit rough. It was tough to live through, and I'm still feeling the effects now a week later. Anyway here it is, don't say I didn't warn you.
Exhausted and aching all over Gabby pushed the door of their apartment open, Matt close behind her. They both flopped on to the couch not wanting to move.
"Are you still mad?" She finally asked him. Shift had been so busy they never did get to finish their conversation.
"No" he replied "you scared me, but I should never have been mad about you doing your job."
"Ok" Gabby shuffled over to rest her head on his chest, allowing her eyes to close as her body gave into the exhaustion, Matt joining her in exhausted sleep soon after.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"So you've got a new guy today?" Gabby asked, as they got ready for work that morning.
"That's what chief said" Matt replied, pulling his lieutenant shirt over his head, "he said the brass are moving some people around and since Cruz moved to Squad we're a man down on truck."
"And you don't know who it is?"
"Chief didn't say, just asked me to get to the house early." He kissed her "You going to be ok making your own way in today?"
"Yea I'm good, you go I'll see you there."
Landing one final kiss to her head Matt grabbed his bag and headed out the door.
Gabby busied herself with cleaning the breakfast bar up, before grabbing her own bag and heading out to work too.
Pulling up to the station half hour later, Gabby saw that Severide's car was also parked up alongside the Chief's and Matt's and a car she didn't recognize but assumed was the new guys. Opening the door she almost knocked Shay over.
"Hey" She said
"Hey girl." Shay eyed the car "You drive yourself today? He isn't still mad is he?"
"No, he had to come early to meet the new truck guy." Shay nodded, remembering that Kelly had mentioned something while leaving their apartment this morning, "And Matt's not mad no. He had calmed down by the time we got home, even apologized for flipping out on me."
"So you didn't get spanked then." Shay chuckled.
"No Shay." Gabby said rolling her eyes, "I'm glad my beaten butt gives you amusement."
"You love it really." Shay teased.
"Depends on the time and place." Gabby giggled. "Come on lets go see who's joining us."
Shay stopped suddenly spotting the car parked behind Kelly's.
"What?" Gabby questioned.
"I think you mean new girl?"
"Huh?"
"That's Kelly's girls car, you know the one from 21."
"Stella? Are you sure?"
"Positive it's parked up outside our place enough."
"Oh if it is" Gabby smiled "Shay she's amazing! You'll love her."
Gabby pulled Shay towards the firehouse desperate to know if her partner was right, entering through the side door and walking past the chief's office she was happy to see that she was. There was Stella stood with Matt, Severide and Boden chatting happily. Matt spotted her through the window and smiled softly, Gabby mouthed "Is that Stella Kidd?", Matt nodded confused at her initial and amused at her excited form. It wasn't long before Stella and Gabby got to greet each other, both jumping up and down with excitement at being able to work together again.
"I'm taking it you two know each other?" Matt asked.
"You could say that." Stella chuckled.
"We worked together fresh out of the academy before brass decided we needed to be split up."
Both Kelly and Matt raised their eyebrows.
"Decided that Dawson here was a bad influence on me" Stella laughed nudging Gabby's side.
"This is going to be so much fun." Gabby exclaimed.
She spotted Matt and Kelly glance at each other, she laughed while pulling Stella away to catch up and officially introduce her to Shay.
"Shay this is Stella Kidd, Stella Kidd this is my partner and best friend Leslie Shay."
"You live with Kelly right?" Stella asked.
"Yea"
"I thought I recognized you. Glad to finally meet you."
The girls spent the beginning of shift showing Stella around the house and catching up, while making sure they appeared to be doing work. It was short lived though when truck got called to their first call out.
Shay and Gabby busied themselves doing the grocery run. As they had no candidate at the moment everyone in the house was taking it in turns to cook for the house, this shift it was the girls job.
"What are you going to make?" Shay asked.
"Maybe nachos and chilli, you know the guys like that. You can do the nachos while I make a big pot of the famous Dawson Chilli."
"Sounds like a plan, ok lets go before we get a call."
Three hours later Truck pulled back in and Gabby and Shay watched as the guys jump down. It had been a relatively quite day at 51, squad being called out alongside truck but that being the only call of the day.
"How it go?" She asked as Stella walked towards her.
"Really well, Casey is a great Lieutenant."
Gabby grinned "he's a pretty amazing guy."
Shay laughed "you have to say that he's your husband."
"Yea well if the cap fits and all that" Gabby laughed. "Were the other guys good to you?" She asked turning back to Stella.
"Yea, I think I'm going to fit in great here."
The girls stood around chatting for a little while before Severide approached them.
"Can I borrow her please." He asked.
"Yea, we've got to finish the inventory anyway. See you later Stella." Dawson said.
Shay jumped into the back of 61 and started sorting through the drawers and compartments. "Dawson I think we need to do a gauze run" she called out to where Gabby was sat checking the levels against the check list on her ipad.
"Ok, we'll stock up next run." she replied. "Hey I've been thinking it's been a while since we've been out, and now Stella is here maybe it's perfect timing. You can get to know her better and I can catch up properly with her. Whatcha think?"
Shay sat down on the gurney next to Gabby "I mean it has been a while, the last time we went out was a disaster though."
"I know but I'm better now, my counselling is going well, I'm only seeing Dr Charles once every two weeks. And I think I learnt my lesson, all be it the hard way." she nudged Shay "come on don't you think it's about time we got back out there and had some fun."
Shay thought for a moment "Ok, if Matt agrees then yes!" she smiled softly at her friend "But first lets finish this inventory ok?"
"Yea come on."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It had been four weeks since the wedding and Gabby had seemingly settled back into normal life. Work had been busy, between their shifts at the firehouse. Matt had been working the construction at the club and still had no end in sight, as much as he tried he couldn't get the guys he hired to take on more work which ended up with him having to be there a lot more than he would have liked. In turn Gabby had been picking up extra shifts at Molly's not wanting to be at home by herself every night. Stella was a great fit to the station, and Gabby soon learnt that Matt and Kelly had similar views on how their girls should behave after over hearing Stella getting her ass handed to her quite literally after a call last week.
It was Thursday afternoon and Gabby stood in the little garden area they'd made on their balcony puffing casually on the cigarette between her fingers. It had been a long week, a difficult week and she needed a release. Matt was at a construction site so she was free to sneak this forbidden break. She knew Matt would be fuming if she was caught, he hated her smoking. It was unladylike like and it made her clothes and hair smell, she'd been a smoker when they first met but she soon gave it up when she realized just how much he disliked it. Sure he'd have the odd cigar with Kelly but it was something she was forbidden to do. When she'd got up this morning she hadn't planned on breaking any rules but after a long and exhausting therapy session she found herself in the store buying another pack and now she was five in, she couldn't help herself craving more. As she took another long toke she heard the door of the apartment go.
"Shit" she said out loud trying to discard the evidence and running inside the apartment, she'd planned to dart to the bathroom, brush her teeth, and spray herself but she ran straight into him cigarettes in her hand and stinking of smoke. He raised his eyebrow at her "hey what's..." he stopped as his eyes fell upon the packet of cigarettes.
"Gabriela Camila Dawson Casey!" Matt shouts, quickly losing his temper "what on earth are you doing?"
Gabby fixes her eyes to the ground.
"Look at me" Matt says lowering his voice, when she refused he gently lifted her chin upwards so that he had her eye contact. "I asked you a question. I won't ask again. What are you doing?"
"I... Erm... I" she stumbled "I'm sorry, it's been a rough day."
"So you smoked?"
"Yes sir" she whispered, well aware she was in major trouble.
"Gabriela are you allowed to smoke?" He asked letting go of her chin.
"No sir."
"Then why are you?"
"I didn't think you'd catch me." She replied dropping her gaze back to her feet.
"So you were going to hide this from me? Is that correct?"
"Yes sir."
"Give them to me" he said holding his hand out, Gabby placed them into his open hand, watching as he opened the packet. "There's five missing" he stated "this wasn't just a slip was it?"
Gabby looked at him, her lip between her teeth , nervous energy spilling out, she shook her head.
"I want to hear your answer?" He told her with a sharp slap to her ass.
"No sir."
He sighed "how long?"
"A few months." She replied, "I've been trying to stop but .."
"Gabriela stop!" He cut her off and held his hand up "I don't want to hear it, go to the bedroom now. Strip and kneel in the corner with your hands on your head."
She knew then that it was going to be a hard punishment, usually she had to stand in the corner, making her kneel was a very submissive position, he only did that when he wanted her to really think about her punishment.
He left her in the corner for half an hour while trying to calm himself down. A few months she'd said, a few months she'd been hiding her smoking, something she was absolutely forbidden to do. This was more than her breaking a rule, this was months of wasting money to literally watch it go up in smoke, months of her lying and deceiving him.
"Gabriela come here."
She stood up and turned to face him, he pointed to the ground as she approached making it clear he wanted her knelt in front of him. Her stomach dropped when she saw the paddle, strap and whip laid out on the bed.
"Do you know why I'm disappointed Gabriela?"
"Yes sir. I smoked."
"No Gabriela, I'm disappointed not only because you smoked but because you have lied and deceived me. I'm mad because you smoked and I'm furious that you have been hiding this from me."
"Yes sir" she replied quietly. "I'm sorry sir."
"Do you have a reason for me?"
"No sir. I'm sorry."
"Oh your going to be very sorry" Matt said pulling her over his lap. Sharp slaps started to rain down quickly peppering her ass to a deep pink. She wriggled and cried as he landed slap after slap against her bare behind. He was waiting for her to completely submit before starting her actual punishment, this was just the warm up and he knew she knew it. "Gabriela, I've got all day." He growled "stop fighting so we can get to your punishment."
"I'm sorry" she cried. "Please I won't ever smoke again, please don't whip me."
Her pleading was new and unexpected "Gabriela. You break the rules you get consequences. This is your consequence, if you really want me to stop use your safe word and it's over, we'll talk about it and I'll help you quit again. Otherwise submit to your punishment, the sooner you do the better it will be."
Gabby fell silent, still wriggling in his lap as he moved his aim to the backs of her thighs.
"You good" he asked pausing slightly. She nodded, "Gabby I need to hear it."
"Yes sir, I'm good."
"Ok then, I'm going to start your punishment ok?"
"Yes sir, how many?"
"How many months is a few?" He countered.
"Three" She whispered.
"So 90 days correct?"
"Roughly" she sighed, she knew what was coming, he'd warned her about it before.
"And how many have you had a day?" He questioned.
"About ten sir"
He picked up the paddle and began taping it against her already flaming behind. "You smoked for 90 days I'm going to paddle you for 9 minutes, then I'm going to strap you for 10 minutes, a minute for each cigarette you had a day. Then I'm going to whip you, how many and how long depends on you and if you fight me. Right now we are at 30, 10 for each month."
"Yes sir."
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK Matt brought the paddle down hard causing her to squeal loudly, the longer he paddled her the harder his strokes became, making sure he'd covered every inch of her bottom, sit spots and back of her thighs. Two minutes in and her ass was cherry red, the heat radiating off it told Matt that it would be stinging real bad. Gabby was babbling apologies over and over, kicking her legs slightly but not fighting him anymore.
"Ouch" she cried out as he brought four cracks down on the same area, "arregggh" he matched the strokes on the other side. Tears streamed down her face, her screams muffled by her gasps for breath. Nine minutes later the onslaught stopped. Matt rubbed soothing circles on her back before ordering her over a pillow he placed in the centre of the bed. Before she even had time to register what was about to happen the strap landed CRACK right in the centre of her ass. The fire spread instantly, quickly followed by another CRACK over the same spot he'd just struck, her body bucking under the force.
"I will not"

"Kill yourself"

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK
"Please" she sobbed.
CRACK
Gabby's pleading got louder the more strokes that hit, she was struggling and she knew she'd got a lot more to come. Matts fury was definitely clear, he was landing the hardest swats he'd ever landed, her ass was on fire, her eyes hurt from the salty tears that were streaming down her face.
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK
"Yellow sir yellow" she sobbed. Matt stopped instantly upon hearing her safe word, resting his hand on her back he rubbed in soothingly circles.
"Ssshhh it's ok. Sssshhh, your doing really well. I know it hurts, but we're almost done then I'll give you a break before the last bit. Sssshhhh"
"Ma Ma Matt" she sobbed, "I can't it hurts"
"I know baby, I know it does. Do you want to safe word?"
She shook her head, "can I have some water please?"
"Course baby" he helped her up and into the kitchen to get some water, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her head gently. "You feel better?"
"Yes sir."
"You ready?"
"Yes sir"
He helped her back to the bedroom and back over the pillow. "Two more minutes with the strap baby, we're almost there."
CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK
Gabby was sobbing again, as Matt turned her butt to a deep shade of crimson. Throwing the strap down he ordered her back to the corner. She sighed loudly as she walked over and assumed the position expected of her.
"Gabriela I hope your thinking long and hard about what you've done."
"Yes sir."
"I mean it, if this happens ever again."
"I know sir" she interrupted, earning her five sharp swats.
"Did I give you permission to speak young lady?"
"No sir. I'm sorry sir."
"You will be, you've just earnt yourself five more with the whip."
Gabby groaned loudly.
"You want to make it ten?" He asked.
"No sir."
"Then I suggest you don't make another sound until I tell you to come back for your whipping."
Matt left the room to get himself a glass of water, leaving Gabby to stew over her remaining punishment. He knew that making her wait increased the punishment for her. She hated stewing.
Ten minutes later he returned and ordered her back over the pillow on the bed.
"Do you need me to tie your hands?" He asked, well aware that she was going to struggle with the finally part of her punishment.
"Yes please sir" the last thing she needed was to try and cover herself and earn more than she was already going to take. The whip is an extremely painful tool anyway, a few strokes can be agonizing, thirty five was going to be torture, especially on top of an already bruised and tender bottom.
"Ok then, put your hands in the small of your back." He instructed, when she'd done as he'd said he secured them with the satin tie from the bedside table. "You ready."
"Yes sir."
"Count them"
WHIP
"One sir"
WHIP
"Two sir"
WHIP
"Argh!" She choked on her scream, Matt waited for her to count "three sir" before landing the next stroke, with each whip Gabby counted obediently, while sobbing into the soft mattress in front of her. Her ass baring the criss cross pattern as the thin splits marked her skin.
WHIP
"Fifteen sir" she cried, Matt pausing for her to catch her breath.
"Almost there baby, almost there then you'll be forgiven."
WHIP
"Sixteen sir"
WHIP
"Seventeen sir"
WHIP
"Eighteen sir"
WHIP
"Ouch..." she screamed loudly as he caught the tender sit spots "nineteen sir"
Again he hit her sit spots causing her to cry out in pain.
"Twenty sir"
WHIP
"Twenty one sir"
"Your doing well baby, we're almost there." Matt reassured her, his anger long gone. WHIP
"Twenty two sir"
He landed the next eight strokes to the backs of her thighs, her screams filling the room as each one hit, but not missing a count.
"Five more and we're done"
She nodded, knowing these five would be the worst, screaming loudly as he brought the whip down diagonally across her ass and again the other way. The final three hitting her sit spots with an ungodly force. Matt threw the whip down and gathered her in his arms stroking her back and sssshing her. It was over, all was forgiven.
Gabby continued to cry and apologize for thirty minutes against his chest as he held her tightly. Once she'd calmed he went to collect the cream and tenderly smothered her punished behind in it. She hissed and cried as the coldness touch her bottom but soon it started to soothe and cool the burning sensation.
"I won't ever smoke again" she promised him. "I'm sorry I broke your trust."
"I know you are baby. But you are grounded for the weekend, I want your phone and computer in the drawer after we've had a nap."
"But I was going out with Shay and Stella tomorrow"
"Gabby you're grounded, you will not be going!" his voice was firm and strong.
"Yes sir." She didn't even attempt to argue anymore, she knew she was lucky it was only a weekend and not longer. She'd expected at least a month for this infraction. Maybe she'd got less because of the spanking she'd just received. It had been the worst she'd ever had and not something she wanted to ever repeat.
