Lancer 32

Thomas

Scott thought for a split second and decided to be clear from the start.

"Hello boys, I'm Scott Lancer, and this is my little brother Johnny, I'm here to help your family. You will do as I say." Then Scott's tone left no room for argument.

"Max, go wait for me in your room, Tom, go wait for me in the barn".

Scott decided to start with Max. He sat on the boy's bed and placed him between his knees.

"Look at me, I don't ever want to hear that voice tone you just used again!" he growled.

"Yes Sir", Well, the child knew how to be respectful.

"Look at me" Scott ordered. He waited for the child to obey and look up.

"Listen to me because I won't repeat myself. Your big brother is the grown man in charge now, he works hard to make sure you have enough to eat on your plate. You owe him respect and obedience. Life isn't fair, it's a role he shouldn't have had so soon, but life wanted it that way. As such, he has the right to scold you, punish you and even spank you with whatever he deems appropriate, including his belt. You understand me?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. If I have to intervene, as I did tonight, my punishment will be in addition to what your brother decides."

"Yes sir."

"You're going to go back to the table, apologize for your behavior to your mom as well as your brother the minute he gets inside, do you hear me?"

" Yes sir, I hear."

"You will accept whatever punishment he deems appropriate. If you don't, I will double what your brother gives you."

"Yes sir."

"After the meal, you will go to bed immediately, as punishment for your behavior today. Consider yourself lucky not to have a spanking. This is your only chance. I will teach you to obey your brother. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, but he always gives me orders and ...!"

"And you will obey him!" Scott cut in.

"NO!" yelled the child defiantly.

Scott felt his blood boil. Had he really talked to the boy for ten minutes for nothing?

"I'm going to give you a good spanking, your choice. When I scold you, you don't answer me, especially with a tone that I just forbade you to use." Scott lifted the boy and laid him face down on his knees. He then lowered his hand for a first harsh slap making Max scream at the first blow.

"Aie! Yes sir! Sorry sir!"

Scott added two more equally harsh slaps. Max's pants didn't offer much protection against Scott's muscular arm.

"If I have to speak to you again tonight for your tone of voice, I'll administer ten more on your bare behind! Do you understand me?"

"Aie, sorry! yes, I'll listen to Tom, sir!"

"Good! Scott lifted the child up and leaned over to offer his torso if he wanted comfort. To his surprise, Max hugged him tightly. Scott hugged him back.

"Be the good boy I know your dad raised. Do what I told you while I go talk to your brother."

"Yes sir."

Entering the barn, Scott saw Tom bent over a haystack, his pants and underpants at his knees, his bare ass in the air.

"Are you asking me for a spanking?" asked Scott.

"I deserve it, I thought…. "

"No, pull up your pants, I just want to talk to you, with my mouth."

"Oh," the child obeyed.

"You are no longer a little boy Thomas, you have been working hard on your land since your father died, unless you really force my hand, I will not punish you like this. I came to teach you how to be respected and obeyed or don't you want to take the role of the father in Max's life?

"Yes sir, but Max will never obey me."

"He will, when you know how to inflict appropriate firm consequences. I just spanked your brother, I've known him for five minutes and even got a hug. It was up to you to do it."

"He let you?"

"He didn't really have a choice, for him I'm an adult, I'm firm and authoritarian, so he obeys me. That's what you have to acquire. It's not difficult, an attitude, a posture, a confident voice, and a steady hand. His respect will then change immediately, I promise.

"I like to play with him and play pranks on him. We got along well before my dad died."

"Your dad never played with you? Play fight or games to catch you?"

"Nope."

"Well my dad did, I did a lot with Johnny when I was your age. My dad didn't die, but he was away a lot on his business, I had my little brother in my care. I sometimes play with my children, not enough in my opinion. It's important, during a game, you will impose rules, and make yourself obeyed, I would say that's the first step to make your brother respect you".

"Oh"

"You will always be his brother, he will grow up, the age difference will no longer be seen. But for now, he's a little boy, he needs authority, someone to guide him, games and teasing can be part of the equation, one doesn't preclude the other, but when you say stop, it's stop, period."

" I understand"

"I explained to Max that he had to obey you, and why. He pushed me and I ended up putting him on my knees, I gave him three big slaps on his pants. I told him also that he will go to bed immediately after eating."

"I can imagine him trying to push you."

"I told him that if I were to intervene, as I did tonight, it would be in addition to your decision to punish him. What do you plan to do about his behavior tonight?"

"I don't know, it was just a bit of answering back and attitude, I'm still not going to take my belt off."

"Good!, I am proud of you. Yes, the punishment must correspond to the crime, your belt will indeed be reserved for serious misconduct, direct disobedience or a challenge. Being authoritarian is not removing your belt for the smallest thing. That's being fair."

"Honestly, I think your punishment is enough, three slaps and going to bed early, do you think I need to add more?"

"No, not necessarily, if you think it's enough, then it's enough. Tell him that with conviction."

Your attitude is important, you must be imposing and sure of yourself. Never make threats, make promises."

"Yes sir"

The second they walked through the door, a little boy spoke, nose down at his shoes.

"Tom, I apologize for my behavior, are you going to punish me?"

Tom looked surprised for a second. Scott's spanking and talking to his brother had worked wonders. He had to be up to it as well.

As Scott sat down at the table without a word. Tom leaned against the sink, his arms folded across his chest in an imposing pose.

"Come here," he ordered his brother.

To his surprise, Max obeyed. It worked!

He placed a finger under his chin to lift it.

"Look at me. When you apologize, I want you to look at me, not your feet. Do it again."

Max immediately looked up. "Yes sir. I apologize for my behavior, I won't do it again, are you going to punish me?"

"I think Mr. Lancer punished you enough this time, and I agree with what he gave you. Do you think you deserve for me to add more?"

"No sir, please."

"We'll leave it at that," Tom decided.

"Three slaps on the butt and an early bedtime seems appropriate to me."

But, if I hear you talk in that disrespectful way again, I promise I'll pull down your pants and underwear to give you a spanking you'll never forget! Are we clear on that?"

Alice looked at Tom with wide eyes, then her gaze shifted to Scott who gave her a positive nod.

"Yes sir." Max threw himself into his brother's arms for a hug. Tom hugged him tightly to his chest.

"I love you, little boy," Tom said.

"I love you too big brother."

"At the table. I want exemplary behavior tonight. Did you apologize to Mom?"

"Yes, Tom."

"Very good. I'm proud of you for accepting the consequences of your actions."

Scott was actually quite surprised. Thomas was smart and a quick learner. His presence and attitude were better than he had hoped for.

Thomas had become a man before his eyes.
