Author note: Hey guys, thank you again for your lovely reviews. Here's the next chapter I hope you like it :)
Their pants filled the apartment as they flopped down onto the sofa, their bodies aching from the pleasure they'd both just experienced, their clothes littering the floor around them.
"That was..."
"Amazing?" Gabby said smirking at her out of breath husband, he smiled softly back at her.
They'd spent the night making love to each other, the sun shining through the window as the world around them began to wake the only sign that it was morning. The sweet smell of sweaty sex filling the air, both of them completely in bliss with each other.
"I'll say" Matt smirked pushing himself up on his arm facing towards his wife "it's been a while since you've been so energetic" he chuckled.
"Well you filled me with Thai food and even allowed me to drink, you know what good wine does to me" she countered, "and I didn't hear any complaining." She grinned widely at him, stroking his arm as they spoke. "What do you want to do today?"
"Well I've not got to go to the site today, Russ and Dex said they'd could deal with the dry wall so you've got me all day." he replied, "what do you want to do?"
A flicker of something Matt wasn't sure he recognized flashed across Gabby's face as she lean't forwards landing her lips against his in a needy and desperate way, her hands covering his bare chest as she pulled her nails slowly across it and down towards him growing need for her. Pulling back slightly he noticed a small smirk resting on her face "You" she said before kissing him again her hand gripping tightly around him stroking him slowly. His head fell backwards as she increased her pace, his groans being swallowed by her kisses, he gripped her butt tightly pulling her closer to him and flipping them over causing a squeak to leave her lips in shock at the action. Moving his kisses to the spot on her neck that sent her crazy, her own moans filling the air alongside his. He moved his hand down towards his shaft lining himself up with her entrance, kissing her as he slowly penetrated her deeply. Their bodies moving as one as they once more made love to each other, their hands roaming each others bodies, their lips attached to each others, each thrust hitting the spot she needed it to, her release building with each one.
"Argh, oo" she moaned into his mouth, "Ah baby"
Picking up the pace Matt felt Gabby's body tense underneath him, her muscles clamping down tightly around him as he worked her through her intense release, Gabby's legs wrapping round him as she drew him in closer and deeper. Once her body began to relax he withdraw and flipped her over, pressing her against the arm of the sofa, kneeling behind her he slid a finger inside her causing her to buck upwards. Slapping her butt he told her to stay still, kissing down her back making his way towards her sex, he replaced his fingers with his tongue lapping up her juices as she groaned into the arm, her body fighting the need to respond. Her hand trailing down her front to rub against her clit needing another release as the strokes he made drove her crazy, spotting her hand he slapped it away.
"Not yet" he whispered, kissing back up her back and lining himself back up to her, before pushing inside with one sharp thrust. His pace fast and needy as he pumped inside her, knowing that neither of them would hold out much more he brought his hand round her front and flicked her nipple causing her to cry out in pleasure. The next flick made her head roll as the pain and pleasure cursed through her body, desperation filling every fiber of her being as his pace picked up, each one of his long sharp thrusts resulting in a euphoric moan escaping her lips as she climbed closer and closer to her finish. His hand moving down to help her, he'd barely even touched her sensitive nub when her orgasm exploded, her body tensing as the pleasure cursed through it, clamping down so tightly on his shaft. His own finish coming seconds later, filling her with his seed.
Rolling their aching bodies to the side Matt reached up and pulled the blanket that rested on the back of the sofa down on to them, curling himself around the back of his exhausted wife as her breath evened out and her body gave into the sleep she'd been avoiding. Matt placed a soft kiss to her temple before allowing his own eyes to close, both of them falling into a satisfied slumber their bodies laced together as they did.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"So how did it go" Kelly asked as Matt walked past his office that morning.
"Huh?" Matt stopped in the doorway upon hearing his friends voice, pulling him from the thoughts that had been swirling round his head that morning.
"I asked how it went?" Kelly repeated taking in the younger lieutenants demeanor.
"Oh erm we spoke for ages and redid the rules and consequences, then I took her for dinner and we well you know" he smiled shyly remembering the long night of earth shattering sex they'd had.
"You had make up sex" Kelly smirked knowingly.
"Yes!" Matt exclaimed, "Lots and lots of make up sex."
Kelly smirked again at the foolish grin that was now resting on Matt's face, "and how do you feel?"
"Better, we've got clear rules, and we set out consequences, I asked her questions that I need answers for and answered any questions she needed to ask. I think we're going to be ok, but hopefully I won't have to be in a position to test the theory anytime soon."
"And is she still grounded?"
Kelly and Matt had spoken at length about whether or not he should leave the grounding in place, Matt voicing his concerns that if they continued on the path they were on and he relented she'd take that as him being easy, and if he did leave it in place could she view him as still punishing her for the same thing. Kelly had said it was a conversation that needed to be had with Gabby alongside every other thing that needed discussing but if it were him and Stella in this position and they decided to continue on this way then she would remain grounded until he deemed it necessary.
"She is." Matt confirmed "I took her for dinner at that new Thai place. Which is amazing by the way, you'd like it. I even allowed her to drink with our meal which she usually isn't allowed to do during her grounding. I effectively paused it for the past couple of days and reinstated it this morning."
"And how is she?"
"She's good, she said she's ready to move forward and past this. Leave this as a learning curve and not dwell on it."
"Sounds like you worked through a lot."
"We did" Matt confirmed smiling as he spotted Gabby walking down the hallway laughing and joking with the girls. "She seems happier now, don't you think?" he asked nodding his head in their direction.
"She does." Kelly confirmed, smiling softly at the girls. "Good morning you three" he greeted as they entered the bunk room, "Hows it going?"
"Good" they all chimed.
"Matt?" Gabby said "Can I speak to you real quick please?"
"Sure" he said leading her into his office and closing the door, "You ok?"
"Yea I'm good, I was just wondering I know I'm still grounded and everything but it's Stella's birthday in a few days and I'd love to do something for her."
Matt smiled seeing where this was going "Gabby we agreed you were staying grounded" raising his eyebrows at the face she pulled "But if you want to do something, I suppose I can allow the girls to come round for dinner."
Gabby smiled a huge goofy grin "Really?"
"Really" he nodded, "But Gabby, no alcohol for you. The girls can drink if they wish but you will not be, and normal grounding rules apply so no phone, laptop or tv. Got it?"
"Yes sir" Gabby didn't care he was putting restrictions on it she was just happy he was allowing her to have them round, she landed a soft kiss to his lips before running off to tell the girls the good news. She scooted past Kelly smiling at him as she went.
"She's really happy" Kelly stated when Matt came back out of his office.
"I just told her she could have the girls round to have a dinner for Stella's birthday." Kelly's face fell, "What?"
"Shit I forgot it was her birthday. Damn!" Kelly looked really embarrassed, Matt patted him on the back.
"Good luck with that one." He said chuckling to himself as he walked away.
"Wait?" Kelly shouted "I'm going to need help."
"You're on your own for this one." he shouted back exiting the bunk room quickly.
Gabby found the girls in the bathroom "Good news" she declared happily.
"What?" Shay asked.
"Matt said that I can host a dinner for Stella's birthday, so this Friday guess what?" Both other woman shrugging their shoulders "You and you" she said pointing at them "and me are going to enjoy a nice meal and games night together."
"But I thought you were grounded?" Stella asked confused, if it was her there was absolutely no way Kelly would let her have people round.
"I am" she said "and that means I won't be allowed to drink or anything but I can still cook and we can still have fun. So are you in or not!"
"Ok yea, but you best check Kelly hasn't got anything planned."
Gabby spent the next few hours preparing what dishes she was going to cook and of course checking in with Kelly that he hadn't planned anything, by the time lunch came around most of the firehouse were now joining their meal and games night, Matt having agreed she could open it up to everyone when she found out Kelly had nothing planned. She settled on serving up her signature Lasagna, home made garlic bread and feta salad, finishing off with tiramisu that she planned to make individually so everyone had their own portion.
"Hey did you forget it was your turn to cook?" Hermann asked as he walked into the common room and looked around for his lunch.
"What, oh yea sorry I thought we'd just order in today" she said holding up the pages of recipes and ingredients lists, "I've been a little preoccupied."
Hermann shook his head while grabbing the menus from the drawer in the kitchen, "Hey lieutenant" he shouted across as Casey and the rest of truck came in, "apparently Dawson here is too busy to cook today, so take out it is."
Gabby rolled her eyes "You know someone else can cook Hermann if it bothers you that much." her sass shining through.
"Well it was your job today" he spat back, "I'm hungry now, I'm not waiting for someone else to cook because you deemed yourself too busy."
Gabby rose from her seat "Whatever Hermann when was the last time you even cooked?" There was a fire burning in her eyes.
"Hey" Matt sad firmly "Both of you that's enough."
"He started it." Gabby spat, the annoyance she was feeling boiling over.
"And I'm finishing it!" He said his patience quickly thinning. "Gabby go to my office"
"What?" She shouted "That's not fair, why am I in trouble?"
"Now!" he growled. Dawson looking round the room to witness everyone staring at them. Hermann suddenly very quiet as Matt turned to him, "Hermann order something in and then go clean the truck." He looked over to Gabby who was still rooted to the spot stubbornly. "Gabriela I told you to do something."
"But I.."
"Gabriela if you know whats good for you, you will do exactly what I tell you to do now."
Gabby thought about standing her ground but decided it probably wasn't in her best interest, he'd threaten to spank her in front of everyone before and she was sure he'd have no trouble baring her here and now. Grumbling about how unfair it was she made her way to his office, flopping down on his bunk. If he was going to come in here and punish her anyway she wasn't going to make it easy for him. Matt came in shortly after, closing the door behind him he sat down next to her.
"Gabby" he spoke softly.
"What?" she spat.
Sighing he rubbed his hand across the top of his mouth "This is the only time I'm going to warn you Gabby do not speak to me in that tone."
"Sorry" she mumbled.
"Do you want to explain to me what that was all about?"
"He started it" Matt sighed and gave her a pointed stare, "Fine!" she spat "He came in and asked where lunch was, I told him to order in for a change, I'd been busy sorting out the menu for Friday. I just forgot it was my turn to cook."
"Ok but Gabby it was kind of your responsibility so you can understand why he was asking?"
"Yea, but it's not like he ever cooks." her temper was beginning to boil again, why was it such an issue ordering in. They'd ordered in a thousand times before why was today any different and why was she getting an ear full.
"This isn't about if he cooks or not Gabriela" Matt's voice was filled with disappointment "This is about you speaking to people with no respect. A conversation I believe we've had several times."
"So your going to spank me?" Gabby asked her voice suddenly remorseful, she hadn't even lasted two days since her last spanking and the new rules and here she was breaking them already.
"Yes I am" he said bluntly "And Gabby your going to apologize to Hermann afterwards."
"No I'm not" she stomped her foot on the floor as she stood up spinning round to face him.
"Yes you are, because if you don't you will not be taking part in Stella's meal on Friday."
"What that's completely unfair."
"Unfair or not Gabby, you are still technically grounded. I am choosing to allow you this one night of company but I can choose to make you sit in our room by yourself all night if your attitude doesn't change."
"Fine I'll apologize" she said sulky.
Matt sighed as he pulled the paddle out of the drawer, "Let's get this over with" he said, ordering her to drop her pants and pulling her across his lap. "How many do you get for attitude Gabriela?"
"Ten sir"
"And how many do you get for shouting at people instead of speaking to them respectfully?"
"Ten sir"
"Very well so twenty it is."
"Yes sir"
Matt brought the paddle down hard against her bare behind, she held on to her anger for the first three swats but the forth hit on top of the third and her resolve broke as a squeak left her lips. The fifth and Sixth stroke bringing tears to her eyes and by the tenth stroke she was sobbing. Her butt burning as he carried on bringing the paddle down as hard as he could. At fifteen she reached back trying to protect herself Matt pinning her arm in the small of her back and declaring they'd be starting again as per their new rules.
"Yes sir" she sobbed.
Matt brought the paddle down again "That's one Gabriela, count them."
"One sir" She sobbed.
SWAT
"Two sir"
SWAT
"Three sir"
SWAT
"Four sir"
SWAT
"Five sir"
SWAT
"Ouch!" She screamed, fully aware that if she hadn't reached back that it would be over now.
"I'm waiting Gabriela!" Matt said after a few minutes.
"Six sir"
SWAT
"Seven sir"
Matt continued to blister her butt all the way up to twenty Gabby sobbing out each count as he went, her butt was throbbing and the tears were streaming down her face. "Corner ten minutes" Matt instructed as he helped her up.
"Yes sir" She'd kicked her pants off during the spanking making it easier for her to walk over without having to remove them. She stood with her hands on her head and her red behind on show in silence, thinking about the apology she was still expected to give, hoping that the burning pain in her behind would keep her attitude in check. She couldn't risk losing it again with Hermann.
Ten minutes later she was encircled in Matt's forgiving arms sobbing gently against his chest while she apologized once more for her behavior.
"You ready to go and speak to Hermann?" he asked when she'd finally calmed down.
"Yes sir." she said standing up and pulling her pants back on.
"Remember what I said Gabriela don't make me punish you further."
"I won't" she promised, her butt hurt enough to make sure of that and there was no way she was going to let something so silly stop her from having Friday night.
Leaving the office she smiled weakly at her husband who had settled at his desk to do some paperwork while they waited for the food to arrive. Gabby found Hermann washing the truck in the front yard.
"Hermann" she said as she was approaching him, "I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you."
"It's alright kid" he replied stopping what he was doing and turning to face her. "It wasn't just your fault, I shouldn't have snapped at you. I was just cranky because I was hungry, it's all good now I ordered us some food from the diner down the road."
"Ok well as long as you know I'm sorry and it won't happen again."
"Hey it's all good." he said bringing her in for a wet cuddle. "So you cooking Friday?" he asked wanting to change the subject.
"Yea, I'm going to do Lasagna, Garlic bread, Feta salad and Tiramisu."
"MMM sounds perfect" he said licking his lips. "I've let Cindy know, she's organizing a sitter as we speak."
"Brill, right well I'm going to go continue making the plans, I'll see you later ok."
"Yea see ya"
She stopped in the doorway looking back towards him, "Erm Hermann, if Matt asks can you tell him I apologized please."
"Sure"
She continued through the firehouse before settling back at the table in the common room, sitting down slowly not wanting the sudden contact with the hard seats to cause her anymore discomfort. Busying herself with the task ahead. Shay settled next to her.
"You ok?" she asked concerned about the exchange that had transpired between her best friend and Hermann not long before, and what the result had been.
"Yea I'm good, just you know getting on with the party plans."
"Ok, just wanted to check in after you know."
"I'm good Shay", Gabby and Shay had, had similarly lengthy conversations to those that Matt and Kelly had the past few days. Shay being the first person to realize that something was bothering her partner.
"You sure?"
"Yea, I got spanked but we've spoken about it and set new limits and rules so it's all good. I deserved it."
"Ok, I was just checking."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Friday came around far to quickly for Gabby, she found herself rushing around trying to get everything ready for the evening ahead. Matt had, had to go to the construction site earlier on and still wasn't back. With no phone to text anyone she had to make a decision to head to the store and drive past Shay's and see if she was in or wait it out and risk not having everything ready when they all arrived later. She opted for the first option and hoped Matt wouldn't be mad at her for leaving the apartment without permission. Pulling up outside Shay's she noticed the lights on and movement. Luckily for her both Kelly and Shay were there, Kelly texting Matt to tell him Dawson was with him and where they were going, and Matt ok'ing it despite her not asking first.
"So what do we need?" Shay asked as they pulled up to the store, Gabby handing them both separate tasks.
"Shay you come with me, we're going to get the food. Kelly your on the liqueur run. Get enough beers and spirits to keep everyone happy and can you get me some Gatorade please, I'm going to need something to keep up with you guys tonight."
They set off in opposite directions with the agreement they would meet at the car in an hours time.
"Do you think that's enough time?" Gabby asked as her and Shay started up and down the food isles.
"It should be there's two of us, and Kelly shouldn't take that long really, have you got banners and stuff?"
"Hermann's on it, he said he knew a man."
"Doesn't he always?" Shay joked back.
"Touche" Gabby replied.
An hour later Gabby and Shay pushed their cart towards the car where Kelly was stood, Gabby spotted Matt's truck.
"He must have phoned to see where we were at." she said to Shay answering the blondes unasked question.
"Hey baby, get everything you need?" He asked kissing her.
"I think so, just got to pick the cake up from the bakery and we're good to go. Do you mind taking this lot home with Kelly in the truck and me and Shay can go get the cake?"
"I can do that" he smiled, "don't be too long and Shay keep your phone on ok?"
"No problemo" she responded.
"See you at home" Gabby said hoping into the drivers seat leaving Matt and Kelly to load up the truck.
"So is everyone coming tonight?" Shay asked.
"Yea I think so, Hermann got one of the girls to close tonight for us so none of us need to be at Molly's and I think everyone is bringing their plus ones." She eyed Shay "Talking of which, how are you and Maisy doing?"
Shay groaned. "Well she won't be coming tonight?"
"Why not?" Gabby asked "Trouble in paradise?"
"Not so much trouble as completely stopped." Shay said sadly.
"Why what happened?"
"I'm not sure, we seemed to be getting on great and then she just went quiet and cold. Every time I ask if she's free she has an excuse as to why she can't hang. I don't know what I did."
"I'm sure you didn't do anything babe. Your a catch and if she can't see that then it's her loss."
"Thanks." Shay responded "it just sucks you know. I really liked her."
"Well she hasn't broken up with you yet has she?"
"No"
"Well then there is still a chance to fix whatever it is that's wrong you just need to talk to her about it, let her know how your feeling."
"Says the woman who is terrible at telling anyone how she truly feels?" Shay said her eyebrows so high Gabby was sure it was in impossible.
"Yea, Yea well this is as do as I say not as I do moment."
Both woman laughing loudly at the irony of it.
OOOOOOO
Gabby dropped Shay off on the way back past her apartment and headed home as quickly as possible she only had a few short hours to get everything ready and herself changed before people would start to arrive. Opening the door she could hear Kelly's voice along with Hermanns.
"Hey guys."
"Hey, do you need a hand?" Matt asked watching her try and juggle her bag, keys, cake and the door.
"Please" she said handing him the cake.
"I just put everything in the kitchen for now." He said as they walked through the apartment. "Kelly's setting up a drinks table, and he got you a crate of Gatorade that I've put in the fridge for you."
"Thanks babe." She said stopping at the kitchen counter, "Erm and about leaving the apartment."
"It fine Gabby, I was running late. I thought afterwards I should have let you have your phone this morning, but honestly it's fine don't worry about it."
Gabby sighed a breath of relief, she thought for sure she'd be in trouble for breaking her grounding.
"Drinks are set up." Kelly announced walking into the kitchen "do you need help with anything else?"
"No I think we've got it, is Hermann finished unloading?"
"I think so, I'll check on my way out."
"Ok, see you later."
"Bye Kelly."
Hermann finished bringing the last box of decorations before making his departure, mumbling something about feeding the kids before the sitter arrived and Cindy had already called twice. The young couple laughing as the older man ran off like a flustered child about to be scolded.
"Do you need a hand?" Matt asked turning to his wife.
"No I think I'm good, I'll get started on the lasagna and garlic bread now, the tiramisu is already done and in the fridge so it'll just be the salad left and I can do that after I've showered and dressed.
"Ok" he said planting a kiss on her lips "and do you want to deal with your maintenance now or after?"
Under their new terms it had been agreed that Matt would give Gabby a maintenance spanking before any social event to remind her what would happen if she broke the rules, the idea being that having a sore butt to begin with would act as a bigger deterrent than the risk of getting one when she got home. Both of them fully aware that a spanking on top of a spanking hurt more the second time around.
"Erm, whichever's good for you I suppose" Gabby said remembering what they'd agreed.
"Well why don't I shower while you prep and then we can deal with it before you shower?"
"Can it be after?" She asked.
"If you want it to be?"
"It's just if I have it before my shower my butts going to burn more while I'm in the warm water."
"Gabby your butts going to burn either way. That's the whole point." Matt said sarcastically.
She sighed loudly "yea I guess your right"
"Before it is then." He said making the final decision, "I'll be half hour tops you best get started. He placed a playfully light spank to her covered backside, as he began to walk away. Gabby rolling her eyes at him.
"I saw that" he said sternly.
"Sorry"
"You will be if you do it again."
She smiled softly at him, ever since they'd spoken he'd been firm but not over powering and something about having the rules written out and the consequences next to them clearly for them both to see had filled her with a new sense of security.
Gabby busied herself making the lasagna, she ended up making two giant trays as she wasn't sure one was going to be enough, placing it to one side, she got started on the garlic bread and before she knew it Matt was coming back towards the kitchen wearing only his towel.
"You almost done?" He asked.
"Yep just got to finish this then it's all ready to go in just before everyone arrives."
"Ok then, I'm going to get dressed you have ten minutes before I expect you in the bedroom. Got it?"
"Yes sir."
Ten minutes was pushing it, but if she worked fast she could get the garlic bread prepared and the dishes in the washer before time was up. Being late for her maintenance wasn't an option if she wanted to sit tonight. Clearing up the last few bits Gabby looked at the clock, she'd got about twenty seconds to be in the bedroom before he started adding extras for being late, drying her hands as she went she rushed across to the bedroom, opening the door to see Matt already sat on the bed waiting, brush in his hand.
"You're almost late" he said.
"But I'm not" she countered, "You said ten minutes and by the clock I have five seconds until I'm late."
"Well you best get those shorts off and over my knee quickly then."
Gabby pushed her shorts down and moved across the room at the same time, discarding them on the ground and draping herself over his knee.
"Next time" he scolded while landing an open palmed slap against her behind "don't cut it so fine."
"Yes sir."
He continued to land swat after swat until her butt was a deep pink, Gabby wriggling as little as possible as each stinging slap landed.
"Fifteen with the brush Gabby, then go get your shower understood?"
"Yes sir"
SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT SWAT
"I don't want to"
SWAT
"Hear any"
SWAT
"Questions about"
SWAT
"The rules tonight."
SWAT SWAT
"Got it?"
SWAT SWAT
"Yes sir."
SWAT SWAT SWAT
Putting the brush down Matt pulled Gabby up into his lap and encircled his arms around her.
"I mean it Gabriela do not make me regret letting you host this party." he pulled her chin up gently so she was looking at him.
"Yes sir, I won't"
"Good" he planted a kiss against her forehead "Now go get your shower and get changed, we've only got an hour before everyone's arriving I'll start the salad."
Gabby kissed him as she got up and headed towards the shower, the dull sting still residing in her buttocks.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Oh my god!" Stella exclaimed as she entered the apartment later that evening, "this is amazing!" She hugged her friend tightly, taking in the large amount of banners, and balloons that littered the walls of the apartment. A present table next to the door over flowing with gifts from everyone at 51.
"You like it?" Gabby asked pulling back.
"Like it? I love it! This is the best birthday ever." Gabby was well aware of the difficult upbringing and rocky marriage Stella had experienced in her youth even if the other guys of 51 weren't, that was why she'd been so desperate to give her a decent birthday and why she would follow all rules tonight as to not taint it.
"I'm glad, come on everyone is here already"
"Not starting the party without me" She shouted towards the full lounge, Gabby laughing behind her as she greeted Kelly.
"Hey Kelly"
"Hey, thanks for doing this."
"No problem, Stella and I we got each other through at the academy it was honestly the least I could do."
They followed her through to the lounge where everyone was chatting happily. Despite not being able to drink Gabby still managed to have fun with them, although she was slightly jealous of everyone drinking she tried not to let it spoil her evening. Sitting down at the table with everyone and toasting with her water, Shay lean't over to whisper in her ear. "Will he not allow you just one?"
Dawson shook her head, "No, he made that point clear earlier."
"Well if you want anything later maybe I can slip you one?" a small smirk laying on the blondes face.
"I'm ok, honestly Shay."
"Alright well the offers there."
"Dawson this is amazing" Hermann said his mouth still full with her Lasagna, it was one of his favorite dishes and she knew it. In fact everyone at 51 loved it when she cooked because she was one of the only members of the team that could actually cook a decent meal.
Cindy hit his arm "Christopher finish what your eating before speaking." Hermann swallowed his food before turning to his wife.
"Sorry love" turning back to Dawson he said "Honestly though, this is better than ever. Maybe it's because I know no call is going to pull me away so I can actually enjoy it but it is amazing."
Everyone agreed, nodding their heads and raising a glass to the talented chef.
With all plates were cleared Gabby and Matt loaded the dishwasher before joining everyone back in the lounge, Stella was sat waiting to open her gifts on the couch, squeezed between Severide and Shay, laughter filled the air as they walked hand in hand across the apartment.
"Thanks for waiting." Gabby said looking at Stella, who was practically bouncing in her seat. "Come on let's get opening."
Stella opened a small package from Shay first, it was a new pair of gold hooped earrings. Thanking Shay she moved her way through the pile slowly, being sure to take in every moment she could. A shawl from Cindy and Hermann, a book from Cruz, and a spa day token from Gabby and Matt. When she opened Boden's gift her jaw dropped to the ground.
"Chief this is too much"
"Nonsense you deserve it"
Stella pulled what looked like a small card out of the box, "It's Blackhawks tickets" she squealed showing them to Severide.
"I know babe, chief asked what team you liked."
"This is amazing, thank you, thank you so much." She got up and pulled Boden into a huge hug.
"You are more than welcome, enjoy the game." he winked.
"Right mine next" Kelly demanded, handing her a box.
She opened it slowly, inside sat a new necklace with a huge birth stone pendant, matching earrings. "Kelly these are beautiful" she said kissing him "Thank you."
"Hang on" he said, there's also this. He pulled an envelope from out of his pocket, taking it she gave him a questioning look. "Just open it", he encouraged.
"Oh my God!" she shouted, as she read the letter inside. Everyone watching her eager to see what it was that had her so excited. "No way!"
"Yes, chief approved it we fly out in two days."
"It's a trip to the Maldives, all inclusive, five star." she said showing the plane tickets to everyone, "Oh my! This really is the best birthday ever." Tears filled her eyes as her body filled with happiness and gratefulness. "You have no idea what this means guys."
"Oh I think we do" Gabby said smiling at her.
"You deserve it." Kelly said.
The rest of the night passed with them playing as many board games as possible, before people started to make their exit. Soon the only people left were Stella, Gabby, Shay, Matt and Kelly, the friends crashing here tonight anyway. Everyone a little giddy from the amount of liqueur consumed, Gabby practically holding Matt up as she locked up the apartment and they walked back to the couches. Shay saw her opportunity to sneak Gabby a glass of something.
"Hey Dawson, Kidd can I talk to you about something?" she shouted from the kitchen. Both girls looking at each other and back to their semi conscious partners.
Placing a kiss to Matt head she said "We'll be right back." He nodded in agreement, his eyes dropping as he fought off the sleep trying to take over.
"What's up?" Gabby asked as they entered the kitchen, Shay held up three beers and put her finger to her lips, come on they'll never know. Gabby wasn't sure but considering Matt was practically passed out she didn't see the harm in trying. "Come on lets go to the balcony" she said unlocking the door, they slipped out into the cool air, leaving the curtain open so they'd be able to see if either of the lads came looking for them.
Gabby took a long swig of the beer in her hand, "Oh my days!" she exclaimed, "I've been craving one of these all evening. You have no idea how difficult it is not to drink when everyone else is."
"Oh I do!" Stella replied "Kelly and Matt watched the game the other week drinking beer after beer but because I was still grounded I wasn't allowed even a sip, it was murder. How you've lasted all night is a miracle."
"Yea well let's hope Matt doesn't catch me otherwise me sitting will be a miracle."
The girls sat outside for a few hours chatting happily and sneaking Gabby beers, while checking the coast was clear, Matt and Kelly having completely crashed on the couches. Gabby was just about to start her fifth beer when they heard movement, Shay moving the empties to by her and Stella removing the full bottle from her hands. Just In time as well as Matt came round the corner, a stern look on his face. "I hope none of these are yours Gabriela" He said looking around at all the empties.
"No sir" she lied, looking down at the ground. He looked at the three ladies trying to decide if they were lying or not.
"I think it's time we called it a night" he finally said after a few minutes. Gabby wasn't sure if he believed her or not but wasn't going to wait around to find out. Standing up she bid the girls goodnight and hurried to the bathroom. By the time Matt came into the bedroom she was already tucked up in bed, he eyed her suspiciously.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed he looked deep into her eyes, "I'm going to ask you this one time, and you best think very carefully before lying to me." he said sternly, "were any of those beer bottles yours?"
Gabby knew he knew the answer, he wouldn't be asking again if he didn't. She knew he could see right through her, he always had been able too. She bowed her head sadly, "I..." she began, the nervousness in her voice giving her away before she could even start properly.
"Look at me when your speaking Gabriela" he said, the tone of his voice rough.
"I had a few with the girls while you and Severide were passed out. I'm sorry."
"You will be." he said standing up and pulling the covers off her, "What did I tell you earlier?"
"Not to make you regret letting me host tonight?"
"And what happens when you break the rules Gabriela?"
She looked down again and mumbled "I get punished."
Pulling her to her feet, he spun her round and landed a loud slap to her covered ass. She yelped loudly as he reignited the burn he caused earlier with his hand. "I'm really disappointed" he said as he sent her to the corner, "I was really hoping I wouldn't have to punish you tonight." He walked over to the cupboard and took out the cane. As per the new rules, she would be receiving ten strokes of the cane for lying and twenty swats of his belt for disobeying.
"Come here" he ordered, she turned and approached him knowing that the slight sting she'd felt all night was about to feel like a love tap. "Over the bed"
The minute she was bent over he pulled her sleep shorts down before pulling his belt out through the loops and CRACK the first lick landed straight across the tops of her thighs. CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK, the fifth lick had her sobbing but she held her position, not wanting to get any extras tonight.
"Next time"

"I say"

"No drinking"

"Are you going to test me?"

"Because If you do"

"you won't sit for a month"

Gabby was sobbing loudly into the mattress, her butt was on fire and there was no way Shay and Stella hadn't heard. Stella was lucky Severide was still passed out because Gabby was sure she too would be having her ass lit up for sneaking the beers out for her to drink in the first place.
Matt picked up the cane and tapped it against her flaming behind, without warning he landed the first WHACK, the fire spread so quickly Gabby had to use all her strength not to stand up. WHACK, she pulled up on to her toes as another line of fire took hold of her tender ass, WHACK, "ARgh" she screamed WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK. The rest landed in quick succession, Gabby barely being able to catch her breath before the next landed, tears streaming down her face as she babbled apologies.
WHACK he brought the cane down diagonally across the welts forming from the previous hits, WHACK the last one crossing over her ass the other way. Her body flopping forwards as the burn spread across her thoroughly punished behind.
"I'm sorry." she sobbed as he pulled her into his arms.
"I'm sure you are." he said knowingly "Don't disobey me again."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The next morning started fine, Gabby had been forgiven for her lying and drinking the night before and Matt hadn't said anything to Kelly about Stella's involvement. Gabby always found it embarrassing facing people who had overheard her punishment afterwards and this morning had been no different, she'd pulled on her sweats so that no one could see the tell tale signs of her spanking and had so far managed not having to sit down, Shay had greeted her as she always had, but Stella had seemed just as embarrassed about hearing it as Gabby had been about them hearing. Moving round the kitchen she cooked up a full breakfast of bacon, three different types of eggs, sausages, pancakes, waffles, all which now sat in the middle of the table ready for them all to help themselves. Gabby slowly lowered herself into a seat in between Stella and Shay, chatting happily with them until her butt touch the unforgiving surface and a loud hiss left her lips. Severide turning at the noise.
"Did I miss something last night?" he asked knowing that the only thing that would result in Gabby walking round in sweats and hissing when she sat was a spanking. All eyes were on him, wondering who was going to speak first and what exactly they were going to reveal.
Gabby looked pleadingly at Matt silently begging him not to drop Stella in it. Matt shook his head and said "Well once everyone left last night, you and I" he pointed between the two of them "Fell asleep on the couches and these three decided to break the number one rule of Gabriela's grounding by sneaking beer onto the balcony so she could drink."
Severide's eyes were wide and full of fury as he turned to Stella, "Is this true?"
Stella dropped her eyes down to her plate hoping that if she avoided eye contact she wouldn't have to answer. Both Shay and Gabby falling silent and staring open mouthed at Matt who'd just thrown their friend quite literally under the bus.
"STELLA" Kelly roared. Stella immediately looked up to face him, "I asked you a question, and I want an answer NOW"
"We didn't think you'd catch us." she whimpered.
"And that makes it any better?"
"No sir" her face blushing with embarrassment at being scolded in front of everyone.
"Stand up!"
"What?"
"You heard me, get up."
Stella rose slowly from her seat as Kelly took two huge strides around the table grasping her upper arm firmly and turning to Matt, "Can I borrow your room please?"
"Go ahead." Matt said gesturing towards the bedroom door, "If you need anything it's all in the first closet."
Kelly nodded at Matt and dragged Stella across the apartment and into the bedroom closing the door behind them.
Gabby stood up "I can't believe you just did that!" she shouted.
"Gabriela I'd watch your tone if you want to sit down comfortably this side of next week."
"Why did you throw her under the bus like that?" she said putting her hands on her hips, standing her ground.
Shay watching between the two off them as a loud CRACK echoed around the apartment, all three of them knowing that Kelly had just landed the first painful blow to Stella's behind.
"Because she was as much to blame as you and Shay were." he spoke firmly.
"So! You already punished me for it! And now she's being punished for something that I should have known better not to do!" She spat back at him, her temper flaring. "It was me that was in the wrong not her!"
"Gabriela I'm not going to tell you again lower your voice or feel my belt." he said eyeing her with a look that cut right through her.
Shay reached out to touch Gabby's arm in hopes of calming her down, hearing both her friends getting whipped is not something she really needed over her morning coffee.
"Why? Because I'm mad at you. Because there was no need to tell Kelly she was involved. It's her birthday weekend and they are off on holiday in two days, now she's going to have to sit on a plane uncomfortably." she spat, "I'm not going to stand here and tell you it's ok that you just threw her under the bus like that. You knew what Kelly would do. And I don't care if you belt me!"
"Gabriela enough!" Matt shouted, storming towards her, Gabby suddenly realizing that she'd gone to far and that he had no where to take her to spank her that didn't involve someone else witnessing it. She backed away as he reached out to grab her arm.
"No please, I'm sorry"
"Oh now your sorry" he asked spinning her around and pushing her sweats down in one swift movement, Gabby trying to grab them to late as she found herself face first across the breakfast bar, the familiar whooshing sound telling her he'd removed his belt.
CRACK

"Have you lost that attitude now?" he asked spinning her back round to face him.
Gabby face was a red as her ass, he'd just spanked her in front of her best friend. Shay had heard it before but had never witnessed it, the brunette avoiding all eye contact with the blonde as she spoke quietly trying to choke back the tears that were brimming at the edges of her eyes "Yes sir"
"Good, go and stand in the corner" he ordered, her face flushing a deeper shade of crimson, reaching down to pull her sweats back up.
"Oh no, he said "take them off. You embarrass me and Shay like that you can be embarrassed too."
She slid them off and folded them on to her chair before heading to the corner and placing her hands on her head, the tears spilling over. The only sound being the steady crack of belt on bare skin coming from the other room.
"Sorry about that Shay." Matt said sitting down to start his breakfast, "Let's eat they can eat once their back."
Shay nodding quietly and beginning to eat. After a few minutes she looked up "Matt it was my idea."
"Shay, Gabriela is more than aware of the consequences to her actions, the new rules haven't even be in place that long and already she has broken them. Even if you offered her a cash prize for drinking with you last night she knew she wasn't supposed to and she has faced the consequences for that. That little show she just put on there is another broken rule, I've warned her before that I have no issue spanking her in front of people. She chose to see if I meant it. Her embarrassment is her own fault."
"I know but Stella really didn't have much to do with it."
Matt sighed "Answer me this did you get all the drinks Gabby drank last night."
"No"
"Did Gabby grab a few?"
"Yes."
"And did Stella also grab a few?"
"Yes."
"Then you are all as guilty as each other, and be thankful that I haven't followed through with my threat to spank you, because believe me it crossed my mind last night."
"So I should drop the subject" Shay suggested.
Matt screwed his nose up and nodded, "I think that's wise."
The apartment fell silent, The only sound coming from the bedroom.
Gabby stood in the corner fora long tine wishing every second to go quicker, by the time Matt called her back to the table Stella and Severide were back and tucking into their breakfast. Her faced flushed red again when she realized they had all witnessed her punishment and red bottom. She looked at Stella who looked as embarrassed about the whole thing to. Matt telling her to put her sweats back on and to enjoy the rest of the breakfast.
The five best friends spent the entire day together, laughing and joking. It was a nice way to spend the day even if it had started roughly. By dinner time, Stella and Kelly said they'd better go as they needed to pack. Stella thanking Gabby again for a lovely night and Gabby apologizing for the hundredth time for getting her in trouble again.
