I'm standing outside their room trying to build up the courage to knock. I must have stood there for 5 minutes before I took a deep breath, knocked, and waited for the chaos to unfold.

Hunter opened the door. "Hello Randy. What are you doing here?"

"I came to apologize Hunter, to Shane and Stephanie."

"Well Shane went downstairs to the gym and Steph is taking a shower. Do you want to come back in an hour or two?"

"Umm actually, is it okay if I wait here?" Because if I go back to my room, I don't know if I do have the courage to come back here.

"Yeah, I guess that's okay, but you will wait for them in the corner."

"Yes sir," I'm trying to get out of here with no extra punishments.

I walked in and Hunter led me by the arm to the only unoccupied corner. "Steph will get you out whenever she is finished. I am going to go workout. Me and Shane won't come back until Steph texts us." I nodded. I heard Hunter enter the bathroom to tell Steph what was happening, then I heard him leave the room. Now I wait.

*20-30 minutes later.

I was starting to wonder if Stephanie was ever going to come out of the bathroom. My stomach was in knots. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard the door open, finally.

The tension in the room was strong, at least, that's how I felt. I could hear her moving around the room slowly, then sitting down. I wonder if she forgot about me. It must have been another 5 or 10 minutes, practically forever when you are staring at the white wall for an hour, before she finally told me to turn around.

I took a deep breath and turned to face my fate.

"Come have a seat Randy." She ordered, eyeing the chair across from her.

Very slowly, I took a seat and hesitantly looked up to meet her gaze. To be honest, she didn't look as mad as I was expecting. She looked mad, don't get me wrong, but not mad enough to kill me, which is what I was kind of expecting.

"Steph… I…" She held up her hand to stop me.

"Not yet Randy. First, let me tell you that if you ever touch me like that again without my consent, I will be the one taking my cane to your ass. I am not joking. You do realize the hundreds of things that could have happened from your RKO tantrum? I could be in the hospital. I could have broken bones. Hell Randy, I could have died…" No one said Steph was not dramatic! "Seriously though, if Hunter hadn't already spanked you and didn't plan on using the belt tomorrow, I would be caning you right now."

"Steph, please. I'm so sorry. I never meant for that to happen. I just got caught up in the moment and my instincts took over. I would never hurt you on purpose. I respect you too much for that, honest. Please forgive me. I will do whatever it takes to get back into your good graces, even if you want to cane me as well. Just know that I am so sorry and that it will never happen again…"

"You asking for my cane does show me how sorry you are. I will accept your apology, just not right now," I looked at her in pure disbelief. "Not to be mean Randy, I do love you also and I will eventually accept your apology. I just feel that this is premature since you haven't actually been punished yet." I nodded in understanding. That made sense.

"Can you punish me Stephanie? I want to get it over with. I don't know that I will be able to sleep tonight with this unresolved." That was probably the dumbest thing I had ever suggested, but I knew my conscious would eat away at me tonight and sleeping would be nearly impossible.

"You would rather take my cane over Hunter's belt? I don't think Hunter will agree."

"I would take both…" more stupid word vomit. "I disappointed you both, you should both get to punish me…"

"Randy, I don't know that this is a good idea…" I could tell that she would rather wait and let Hunter deal with everything tomorrow but I could also tell that she wanted to punish me, since the attack was against her.

"Look. I know I am being an idiot, that no one has ever asked for extra punishment, but I feel like since I attacked you, you should punish me, I mean, why let Hunter fight your battles for you? You can handle it…" I egged her on. I don't know what had gotten into me, but I couldn't stop now.

"Fine, you want more punishment, you got it…" Fuck, I made her mad. Definitely not what I was going for. "Go lean over the bed with your pants and underwear down."

"Underwear too? Really?"

"That's what I said. Do it now or I will double mine and hunters punishments,"

"Yes ma'am,"

I heard her walk away as I undressed and leaned over the bed. I heard a suitcase open and all too soon, I felt the wooden cane rubbing against my ass. "You will count and apologize after each hit. There is no set number so don't ask. I will stop when I feel you have learned your lesson. I would hope you learn it fast, seeing how your ass is still red from earlier and knowing what is still coming in the morning…"

"Yes ma'am. I understand."

CRACK

"1 Ma'am sorry for attacking you"

CRACK

"2 ma'am I'm sorry"

CRACK... CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK

"10 ma'am, please stop. I'm so sorry.

"You're doing so good Randy, almost done,"

CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK...

"15 ma'am" I choked out, tears streaming down my face. "Sorry, so sorry..."

"We're all done Randy. You can stand up," as I did, Steph pulled me into a bear hug and let me cry it out. "I forgive you Randy, it's all over. You took that so well." I nodded into her embrace. A few minutes later, I calmed down enough to pull away. I glanced up and met her eyes, "sorry,"

"Hey, no more of that. I forgive you. Just don't do it again. I will make the next time much worse. You don't want to test me on that"

"Yes ma'am." I gave her another hug then went and sat on the couch. Bad idea. Can't sit with a sore ass. Guess I'm standing for the next few days. "So, do you think you could get Hunter to at least go easy on me tomorrow?" I asked more of a joke but maybe I would get lucky.

"Randy, randy, randy... unfortunately I can't do that, as I'm sure you know. I will tell him what happened with the cane so maybe you'll get lucky and he will go easier tomorrow, but I will not ask him to lessen your punishment. Honestly, I think he would get mad and make it worse. So let's just let it play out tomorrow, for everyone's sake." She smirked.

"Alright. That's probably smart..." As much as I hoped and prayed that Hunter would altogether skip the punishment tomorrow, I knew it was a lost cause. The best I could hope for is for him to shorten it. "Steph?"

"Yes Randy?"

"Can you let Hunter know that we are done, we are done right? So I can talk to Shane."

"Yes, we are done. I will go call him." She walked into the bathroom, the only "room" with privacy in a hotel, to make the call. I could hear her talking but couldn't make out any of the conversation. About 10 minutes later, she emerged. "Okay Randy, I am going to go find my husband now. Shane is on his way up. Hunter said for you to call him when you're done so he can talk to you before you go back to your room."

"Okay. See you later Steph." She gave me a quick hug before disappearing out of the door. I sent a quick text to Cody and Ted ½ way there. Should be back within another hour, I hope. As soon as I hit send and sent my phone down, I heard the familiar sound of the key card going into the door and it opening.
