Chapter Five: Nine Years Old

Connor wondered around the lab, looking at all of the experiments in wonder. The nine year old was a very curious child by nature and loved to explore every part of the Wolfram & Hart building he called home, today he was in his Aunty Fred's lab.

Okay, so he knew he wasn't supposed to be in there without his Aunty Fred but he had gotten bored of being cooped up in his room and had decided to go and have some fun, not really caring that he was supposed to be in his room for the day because he had been rude and hadn't listened to his Uncle Wes when he'd been babysitting him the night before.

Having waited until he knew his Dad was out of the office, he had left the penthouse in search of something more interesting to do. He was looking very closely at a florescent green liquid in one of the beakers when he heard a voice behind him "Connor, what are you doing down here?" Fred demanded, turning around quickly the green liquid spilt.

"Connor Angel you know better to mess with things in the lab, it could be very dangerous" the scientist scolded pulling the boy away from the experiments she swatted his butt SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK.

"Don't play in the lab" she warned then added "your father is looking for you, he's not happy you left your room when you're supposed to be there all day" she went on "and I don't think he'll be very pleased you were playing in the lab again".

Connor gulped, his Dad was going to be pissed, not only had he gone wondering when he was restricted to his room but he had also gone to the lab without an adult and had touched an experiment. He knew he shouldn't have, last time his Dad had spanked him pretty hard and warned him if he did it again he'd get the same only he wouldn't have the protection of his pants.

He was worried, his Dad never broke a promise to him and he really didn't want a spanking, the few swats Fred had given him had stung a little but not all that much, a spanking from Angel would hurt...a lot.

"Go up to your room and wait for your Dad" Fred ordered pushing the boy out of her lab "don't make things worse by disappearing again" the Texan warned.

...

Connor was sitting on his bed, waiting nervously for his Dad to come up and 'talk' to him. Having spent the last twenty minutes thinking about what he'd done and how angry his Dad was going to be he knew he had made a stupid choice.

Angel knocked on his son's bedroom door; he could tell the boy was nervous from the beat of hid heart. He really didn't want to have to go in there and spank his only child, it was something he hated doing rather a lot, but he knew that Connor needed to learn to do as he was told, not to wonder off and not to play in the lab; it was dangerous and he had warned the boy last time that if he ever played in the lab again he'd get a bare bottom spanking. The vampire knew he had to do it but he's never spanked Connor with his pants down before, once or twice on his underwear but never bare.

Letting out a sigh Angel entered the room at Connor's meek "come in". Once in the room he tried to pull himself together and not let his kid see how much this was getting to him. "Connor what were you thinking?" he asked as he joined his moping son on the bed.

Connor didn't say anything or even look at his Dad "hey, sit up and look at me" Angel demanded whacking him on the butt once in warning SMACK. The boy jumped at the swat and sat up looking at the pissed off vampire.

"I was bored" he told his Dad, Angel frowned "you were meant to be a little bored Connor, it was punishment for being naughty for your Uncle last night" Angel scolded then went on "now about the lab?" he saw the look on his face "yes Fred told me, why Connor?"

Not knowing what to say he just shrugged "what did I tell you would happen if you played around in the lab again?" he asked sternly, when his son didn't reply he said "what did I say Connor?" the boy looked close to tears already "you said...you said I'd get another spanking" he replied "what else did I say?"

"that, that my pants would be down" the boy whispered looking down at the ground, Angel nodded, picking his son up and standing him in front of him Angel said "I'm going to give you a few swats over your underwear for wondering off when you were on restriction, then we'll get to the danger of the lab" with the he lowered his son's jeans and pulled him over his knee.

SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK landed on the boy's bottom, Angel was careful to cover the whole bottom "no more wondering off, especially when you're meant to be in your room" he scolded before lowering the boy's briefs.

SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK landed in the centre of Connor's bare bottom, causing him to cry out "ow, owwie Dad stop" it was followed by SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK on his left cheek "Nooo Dad, Ouch Stop!" he cried wriggling to get away from the powerful swats.

SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK reddened his right side and was followed by SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK on his sitspots "almost done Baby" Angel soothed as he finished up with four swats to eat thigh SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK on the right and SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK.

Once he was finished Angel pulled his son into a sitting position on his lap, careful to keep his bottom from touching anything "Connor I love you very much and I hated doing that" he said and went on "but wondering off and playing around in the lab is dangerous and you could get hurt" he scolded "don't do it again, or it'll be worse next time" Connor cried a little harder as the threat was issued.

'Worse...how could it get worse?' he thought to himself.
