"Are you sore, baby girl?" Olivia asked with loving concern when she noticed Alex wincing in pain as the submissive blonde gingerly sat down at the table with her briefcase to work on a few things she needed to get done for court the next day.
"No, Ma'am, I think I just pulled a muscle in my back." Alex tried to smile and winced again as she shifted in her chair. Unfortunately, Olivia was a very good detective and could tell right away from the look in Alex's baby blue eyes and the sound of her voice that she was lying.
"Stand up and let me have a look at you." Olivia instructed, walking over to where Alex was sitting.
Alex was tempted to protest, but hesitated for only a split second before she reluctantly stood up, knowing better than to disobey a direct order. Olivia gently turned Alex around, lifted the back of her t-shirt, and gently inspected her back.
"Does this hurt, sweetheart?" Olivia asked, very gently pressing around Alex's back.
"No, Ma'am." Alex replied honestly.
Alex gasped when Olivia pulled her jeans and panties down just far enough to be able to inspect her tailbone, and Olivia saw right away exactly why Alex was sore.
"Well, it seems like we've solved our mystery, young lady. Somebody has a very red bottom." Olivia observed as she pulled Alex's jeans and panties all the way down to her knees, revealing Alex's spanked bottom.
Alex's face blushed nearly as red as her bottom as she hung her head in shame, not sure what to say. The submissive blonde winced when she felt Olivia's gentle hand lightly gliding across her bottom, gently caressing a crimson mark left by a wooden spoon.
"All right, I am going to ask you one time what happened, and if I don't hear the truth right from the start, then I am going to put you over my knee and spank the truth out of you, no matter how red your bottom already is. I haven't had to discipline you in over three weeks, so I know for a fact that I didn't give you that red bottom. What happened?" Olivia spoke sternly.
"I… um… uh… well…" Alex stammered hesitantly.
Olivia sighed as she sat down on a kitchen chair, pulled Alex over her lap, and raised up her strong right hand, fully intending to follow through on her word and spank the truth out of Alex.
"Amanda did it!" Alex blurted from her place staring down at the kitchen floor. Olivia lowered her hand and gently rubbed Alex's bottom. Alex relaxed a little bit over Olivia's lap as her bottom was rubbed rather than spanked.
"Amanda, come here!" Olivia called out.
"Yes, Ma'am?" Amanda appeared almost instantly, knowing better than to keep Olivia waiting, and dropped to her knees at Olivia's feet. The submissive blonde grew pale when she saw Alex lying over Olivia's lap with her jeans and panties pulled down to her knees.
"I hear that this is your doing, young lady." Olivia gently patted Alex's red bottom, "I want an explanation and I want it now."
"Ma'am, can I please get up?" Alex asked from where she still lay over Olivia's lap, squirming a little bit.
"No. You will stay still and stay quiet." Olivia gave Alex's bottom a sharp warning spank. Alex winced, but stayed obediently silent and still. Olivia looked back up at Amanda expectantly as she gently rubbed Alex's bottom to soothe the sting she had just inflicted.
"Yes, Ma'am. I spanked her." Amanda admitted with a light blush.
"I can see that you spanked her. What I want to know, young lady, is why, and I don't want to have to ask again. I'll tell you the same thing I told Alex; if I don't hear the truth right from the start, then I'll put you over my knee and spank the truth out of you." Olivia said sternly.
"I caught her taking money out of my wallet without asking me. She begged me not to tell you, so I told her that if I spanked her myself, I wouldn't tell you." Amanda admitted.
"I see. Kneel down, young lady." Olivia patted Alex's bottom and Alex obediently slid off of Olivia's lap to join Amanda kneeling at Olivia's feet. Alex and Amanda looked up at Olivia with a mix of adoration and repentance, knowing that they were in trouble.
"Well, unfortunately, it seems that I have two naughty girls kneeling here and two naughty bottoms in need of a sound spanking."
"But, Ma'am, I've already been spanked!" Alex pleaded with a trembling lower lip.
"Yes, but not by me. I am the authority in this house, I decide who gets spanked and for what reasons. If I hadn't noticed that you were having trouble sitting down to do your work, then you never would have told me about this. You girls usurped my authority by conspiring to hide your behavior from me, and that will not be tolerated, so I'm afraid you need another spanking. You are both going to get spanked and you are both going to get your mouths washed out with soap as well, since hiding your naughty behavior from me is a form of lying and you know how I feel about lying. Now, both of you apologize to me, and go to my room and find separate corners for your cute little noses. You were naughty together, so you can be punished together."
With tears in their eyes, Amanda and Alex bent down to kiss Olivia's feet in apology, and then reluctantly left the kitchen to do as they were told. They were very rarely punished together; usually they were spanked in the privacy of their own bedrooms, except on these rare occasions when they got in trouble together. Olivia sighed as she watched her naughty blondes leave the kitchen and decided that it wouldn't hurt to let them stew for a while, so she spent about thirty minutes doing paperwork before she stood from her chair and walked down the hall to her room. She was pleased to find Alex and Amanda standing in separate corners where they were supposed to be with their hands on their heads. Alex hadn't been told that she was allowed to pull her pants up, and she knew that if she pulled them up Olivia would just be pulling them down again soon anyway, so she stood in the corner with her jeans and panties still pulled down around her knees. Amanda hadn't been told that she needed to stand in the corner with her bottom bare, but she had decided that, to be fair, she should have to stand in the corner with her bare bottom on display like Alex, so she too had pulled her jeans and panties down to her knees. Olivia retrieved the hairbrush from the bedside table drawer and sat down on the bed. All was silent as Olivia watched her girls standing in their corners, letting them stew for just a few minutes longer. When she heard them begin to whimper softly in fearful anticipation of the punishment they knew they had coming, she knew it was time.
"Come here, Amanda Grace. Alexandra Justine, stay still."
Upon hearing their middle names, Amanda obediently turned from the corner and dropped to her knees at Olivia's feet, hanging her head in shame. In her corner, Alex immediately calmed her movements, not realizing that she had been fidgeting nervously. Olivia gently lifted Amanda's chin, forcing the submissive blonde to look her in the eye. Amanda noticed the hairbrush in the dominant brunette's hand and her lower lip trembled.
"By all rights, I should whip both of you, and if you girls ever conspire to usurp my authority again, I will whip you both and spank you with this hairbrush at bedtime every night for a week. For this time and this time only, you will each get just a single spanking. Over you go." Olivia patted her lap.
With a whimper, Amanda obediently draped herself across Olivia's lap, offering her bare bottom for punishment. Olivia laid the hairbrush on Amanda's bottom, poised to strike, and gave Amanda's bottom a few gentle pats.
"Tell me why you are being punished, young lady."
"Because I stole from you by taking on authority that wasn't mine and spanking Alex, and lied to you by hiding our naughty behavior from you, Ma'am." Amanda replied.
"The next time you find Alex doing something she shouldn't that directly affects you, like taking money from you, the correct thing to do is to tell me and I will handle it, or better yet, encourage Alex to tell me herself. You do not take on authority in this house that I have not specifically given to you. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Relax this naughty bottom, you know better." Olivia scolded. Clenching was never allowed.
Amanda forced herself to relax her bottom muscles and winced as the hairbrush came crashing down on her bottom, quickly followed by another, and another, and another. Her hand rose from the comforter, but she quickly kept herself in check and brought her hand back in front of her, clasping her hands together as if in prayer to resist the urge to cover her naughty bottom. Olivia pretended not to notice, but made a mental note to praise her for it later. Amanda tried to be quiet for as long as she possibly could, but it didn't take very long before she was crying freely, pleading with Olivia for her spanking to be over and promising exemplary behavior in the future. Olivia tried to block out all the usual pleading and focus on giving her naughty submissive a thorough spanking. Amanda finally stopped pleading since it wasn't getting her anywhere, and then Olivia felt Amanda go limp across her lap, resigned to being spanked until Olivia decided that she had been spanked enough.
"Last ten, baby girl."
Olivia raised up the hairbrush and delivered ten sharp spanks to Amanda's sit-spots, making Amanda wail brokenly. Olivia set the hairbrush aside and reached underneath Amanda's t-shirt to gently rub her heaving back.
"Get up when you want to and go back to the corner, little one. Your punishment isn't over yet." Olivia said when Amanda started to calm down.
Amanda indulged in her tears for a few minutes before she pushed herself up from Olivia's lap and returned to her corner, placing her hands back on her head.
"Alexandra Justine, come here." Olivia called.
Alex turned from the corner and dropped to her knees at Olivia's feet with tears already streaming down her pretty face.
"Do you understand why you're being punished, young lady?" Olivia inquired.
"Yes, Ma'am. I stole money out of Amanda's purse, I usurped your authority over me, and I lied by hiding our behavior from you." Alex admitted with a trembling lower lip.
"Over you go." Olivia patted her lap, and Alex hesitated for only a split second before she obediently draped herself across Olivia's lap.
Olivia contemplated her options as she gazed down at Alex's red bottom and came to a decision.
"You will not be getting the hairbrush today, young lady. Amanda already did a very thorough job with the wooden spoon and you need to be able to sit down in court tomorrow, so I am only going to spank you with my hand, and you will be on restriction for the rest of today and tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Alex responded obediently, trying not to pout. Being on restriction sucked.
Olivia raised up her strong right hand and brought it down sharply on Alex's bare bottom. Alex burst into fresh tears almost immediately and continued to cry as her spanking wore on for what seemed like forever. Olivia felt that it was only fair to give Alex an extra long spanking since she was being let off easy without a hairbrushing. Alex finally went limp across Olivia's lap, sobbing so hard that she was making no sound. Olivia continued to spank for a few minutes longer and then finally stopped and reached underneath Alex's t-shirt to gently rub her heaving back the same way she had done for Amanda.
"Get up when you want to, little one." Olivia said when Alex started to calm down.
Alex indulged in her tears for a few minutes before she pushed herself up from Olivia's lap. Olivia called Amanda out of the corner and led the two crying blondes into the bathroom where they had to sit side by side on their spanked bottoms on the edge of the tub while Olivia thoroughly washed their mouths out with soap and scolded them for lying by trying to hide their naughty behavior from her.
"Okay, rinse, babies." Olivia said kindly as she took the bars of soap from their mouths, gently kissed their foreheads, and stepped aside to allow them access to the sink.
Amanda and Alex didn't wait to be told twice. They quickly jumped up and took turns rinsing the awful taste of ivory from their mouths. When they were finished, the two submissives burst into tears of relief as they turned and saw Olivia standing there with her arms open. Olivia led her sobbing blondes back into her room and sat down on the bed with her back against the headboard. Alex and Amanda crawled up onto the bed and into Olivia's arms, one blonde curled up on Olivia's left side and the other blonde curled up on her right side. Olivia let them sob on her shoulders and held them close as she gently kissed the tops of their heads.
"My good girls. I know you're sorry, babies. It's over now and you are forgiven." Olivia cooed lovingly.
"Do you still love me, Ma'am?" Alex sobbed.
"Of course I still love you, my angel. I will always love both of my good girls. I only punish you because I love you so much." Olivia cooed, gently kissing Alex's temple and then giving the same to Amanda.
It took quite a while, but finally Alex and Amanda had both stopped crying and simply cuddled deeper into Olivia's arms, letting her soothe them. Olivia didn't rush them, she would hold them for as long as they wanted to be held.
"Ma'am, may I go lie down in my room?" Amanda asked quietly. She and Alex both usually liked to lie down for a nap after a sound bottom warming.
"Yes, baby, of course you can. I'll come check on you in a little while, I don't think Alex is done getting cuddles yet."
In response to this, Alex whimpered and held onto Olivia more tightly. In turn, Olivia cuddled Alex closer to her to give her more security. Amanda received a kiss to her forehead, nose, and lips, exchanged parting words of love with the dominant brunette, and disappeared down the hall to her own room for a much needed nap.
"There, there, baby. My good girl." Olivia soothed as she gently stroked Alex's long blonde hair, tenderly soothing the more insecure of her two submissives. Alex usually needed a few extra reassurances after a spanking, and Olivia willingly gave her all the extra kisses and cuddles she needed.
Alex fell asleep in Olivia's arms. Olivia carefully carried Alex to her room and tucked her into bed on her stomach, giving her one more kiss before quietly leaving the room and going to Amanda's room to check on her.
