Chapter 12 – Paying the Piper
Piper was stood naked in front of Nate as he sat on the same chair he used the last time he gave her a spanking. This time, however, she was on her own, Curie and Cait were sat on the bar stools just over her left shoulder. Piper had her hands together, clasped in front of her and was looking down at her feet. She knew that Nate would keep her there as he scolded her before she would get her hiding. Without catching Nates eye, Piper did notice that this time he had nothing in his hand. The last time Piper was in this situation Nate had that horrid ebony hairbrush in his hand, which he would gesticulate with when making a point. This time, he had his right hand open, his very large right hand. Piper clenched her cheeks involuntarily.
"Your safety, and the safety of your teammates is something I take very seriously, and when you put yourself and those around you at risk, I also take that very seriously indeed. That little stunt you pulled two days ago, when we were at Milton General, could have cost you your life, or one of your team members. How would you have felt if your careless actions would have led to one of your friends getting hurt, or worse?" Nate finished with a question.
"I would have felt awful," Piper replied quietly.
"Speak up please," Nate responded, "I am sure Curie and Cait would like to hear your answers."
"I would have felt awful," Piper spoke in a louder and more confident tone.
"And if something had happened to you, we would have felt awful, us, your friends, who care for you very much," Nate continued to scold.
"You don't get to be so cavalier with your own safety now that you are part of this team, do I make myself clear," Nate stated, making more of a point than actually asking a question.
"Yes, sir," Piper answered, still looking at the floor. Nate could see that his words were having some effect as Piper had begun to nervously shift from one foot to the other.
"And keep still when I am talking to you," Nate ordered, loud enough to make Piper jump.
"Whilst you are a member of this team if you are ever feeling down, needing a shoulder or just having a bad day, you will speak about it to your friends, ok?" Nate took one of Pipers hands and she looked into his eyes, a single tear running down her face. "You will not bottle anything up or allow your emotions to cause you to do something crazy like that again," Nate stated, in a softer tone. He now took Pipers other hand, "Your punishment today will consist of two parts, you will begin over my knee, where you will receive a spanking with my hand. This part is to remind you that in this team communication is key and that you will never face anything alone. When I have decided that you have had enough, you will bend yourself over this chair and receive twelve swats with the school paddle, which I hope will serve to remind you what happens when you act carelessly with your own life and those of your friends." At this Pipers eyes widened, she had never received the paddle before. Seeing Piper begin to panic about the impending punishment, Nate thought it would be best to get on with it. Opening his legs slightly he pointed to his left thigh, "Get yourself over my knee please," Nate ordered. Piper gingerly approached Nates leg and bending both knees she stretched over his leg, resting both hands flat on the floor.
Once Piper had settled, Nate took hold of both sides of Pipers hips and with her help, shifted her bottom, bringing it up and over his knee a little more. This pushed Pipers upper body over his leg a little further, and now Piper was able to rest her elbows on the floor, her bottom pointing up to the ceiling. Nate then moved his right leg to clamp Pipers legs in place.
Once Nate had got Piper into a perfect position, he rested his open palm on Pipers right bottom cheek, making her flinch a little at his touch. "I want you to think about your actions whilst you are getting this spanking," Nate tapped Pipers bottom with his open palm, "And I want you to think about your friends, and how we are here for you, for anything that might be troubling you."
"Yes, sir," came the soft voice in response.
Lifting his legs up a little and taking hold of Pipers side with his left hand, he bought his hand down on Pipers right bottom cheek.
SMACK!
Piper let out a breath and a small squeal of surprise. Nate quickly repeated the same on the other side,
SMACK!
Both smacks were nothing like the opening swats Piper had received with the hairbrush, but they were forceful enough to leave two handprints against her pale skin.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Nate began building up a rhythm, alternating his swats from cheek to cheek.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
These first swats had all been on or close to the roundest part of Pipers upturned bottom, which had given both cheeks a rosy glow. Nate now began to range a little farther landing a flurry of swats on the upper part of Pipers thighs and the lower curve of her bottom.
"ah, ah, ah, ah!" was Pipers response as each smack hit its target. Her bottom cheeks clenching on impact.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Nate moved up to the top part of each cheek, targeting the same spot with a few smacks before moving on.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
The rhythm continued with Nate curling the next few smacks around the side of Pipers bottom cheeks, landing four on each side.
Pipers bottom was now a blushing pink and Nate could feel the heat begin to rise from her punished rear. Feeling that she had received an adequate warm up, Nate increased the force of each smack and began to build up the numbers of smacks that he gave in the same spot.
In one of the books Nate had purchased from Percy, the night the girls had introduced the idea of Nate using corporal punishment on them, a particular spanking technique had caught Nates imagination. In this scenario, the punisher began by giving one smack to each cheek, then two, then three and so on, increasing the number of smacks they landed in the very same spot. Nate had decided that he would go up to eight smacks before bringing the first part of Pipers spanking to a close.
SMACK, SMACK!
The first two were one on each sit spot, just under the curviest part of Pipers warm and pink bottom.
SMACK, SMACK!
Two more on the right cheek, just above the last smack but both in the same place.
SMACK, SMACK!
Two on the other cheek but again, in the exact same place.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Back to the right cheek, a little higher, these three smacks making the skin underneath turn a more angry red.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
The other cheek received the same and a large part of Pipers bottom was now more fire hydrant red than baby pink. Piper was beginning to feel this as her involuntary noises and wriggling became a little more frenzied.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Four firm smacks to the sit spot of Pipers right cheek, "Agh! Ow, Ooo, Ah!" Piper exclaimed, her right arm flying back to try to protect her already much assaulted rear.
"Oh no you don't," responded Nate, deftly grabbing her hand with his left and holding it in the small of her back.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
The other cheek then got the same concentrated series of four swats on the same small area where lower cheek met thigh.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Nate then moved his attention to the top part of Pipers thighs, this area was still more pink than red but with five firm smacks to the back of each leg the red soon spread to cover this area as well.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
"Ah, AH, fuck!, Ah!" Piper exclaimed, more in anger than in pain, pulling her right hand free from Nate's and grabbing his trouser leg.
In doing so Piper had lifted her body up slightly and Nate gently pushed between her shoulders, "you are doing great Piper, just keep still for me," Nate instructed gently.
As soon as Piper had relaxed and fallen back into position, Nate landed the first of his six swats on the roundest part of Pipers right bottom cheek. It bounced on the impact, regaining its shape just as the second smack landed.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Piper began wriggling in place, the lower part of each leg frantically kicking from under Nates vice like grip of his right leg.
"Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow!" was all Piper could manage, busy trying to move her bottom away from the stinging smacks.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
The cheek nearest to Nate began to receive the same attention, Nate having cupped his hand ever so slightly to fit Pipers natural shape. The sight of Pipers bottom wiggling on impact and the heat that was now coming from her skin was beginning to have an effect on Nate, so he opened his legs a little further, shifting the wriggling and bucking girl just a little further down his lap towards his knees.
Nate also took an opportunity for a short rest and took stock of his handy work. Pipers bottom was now a full angry red with a few small blotches of crimson. Whan Nate stopped Piper calmed, as if sensing his pause and she fully relaxed when Nate began to softly rub each cheek in turn, gaining a respite for both Pipers bottom and his hand. He was nearly done with the first part of Pipers punishment and as a whole she had taken her hiding well so far. Whilst she had not stayed silent for her hand spanking, she was not in tears and Nate was impressed with this, as he could feel how tough the tanning had been on her now rough and hot backside. He continued to rub for another minute or so, which also allowed Piper's breathing to return to normal.
"I hope this first part of your punishment today is starting to sink in, young lady." Nate continued the scolding whilst he rubbed. "I am immensely proud of you wanting to make up for your recklessness, we all are, but I am not going to put up with any shouldering of problems on your own, most especially if they manifest themselves with you doing something so careless." Nate stopped rubbing and shifted his position a tiny amount but enough to signal to Piper that he was about to start the spanking back up again.
The final eight were the hardest, as they were always going to be, and they were all on the sit spot. The first eight on the right cheek and the final eight on the left. The little talk must have had some effect, or Pipers bottom was getting numb, but whatever it was, she took these final smacks brilliantly. She had both hands on the ground with her arms straight and locked, supporting her upper body. She looked dead ahead and like Cait when she was taking her spanking, was focussing on a spot in front of her.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, Nate grabbed on to Pipers waist a little stronger to stop her slipping, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Rolling Piper a little away from him, Nate wasted no time completing the punishment on her left cheek.
SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK!
Nate was done, and on stopping, Nate rested his open palm on Pipers hot flesh, rubbing over both cheeks. Piper was breathing heavily but had not let out any sound during those last sixteen. She had gone limp over Nates knee, letting her arms relax and resting all her weight on Nates single leg.
"How are we doing missy?" Nate enquired whilst continuing to rub Pipers punished bottom.
"Oh, my god your hands are like shovel heads!" Piper exclaimed, referencing a comment Nates wife Nora had once made about his hands, when discussing what they might feel like against her backside. Nate smiled, for Piper to be making light-hearted comments just after a spanking meant she was no worse for wear. Nate was impressed, he had made up the reason for the hand spanking because he wanted to give Piper a warmup before the paddle, but it was still a good hiding she had just received. Feeling the heat under his hands Nate was happy with Pipers real warm up and was satisfied that he had done what he could to prepare Piper for what was coming next.
"Alright then young lady, lets get you up, we are not done yet."
"BBBBLLLLLUUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!" Piper complained but she did as she was told and slowly stood back up.
"You, ok?" Nate helped Piper up, to make sure she didn't have a head rush, as she was tipped over Nates knee for a while. Nate turned from Piper and taking the chair he spun it around 180 degrees, with the high back of the chair now facing Piper. Nate stepped out of the way and holding on to Pipers waist he guided her to the back of the chair.
"I want you to bend over the back, here," Nate pointed, "and rest your hands on the seat," he gently pushed Piper between the shoulder blades, guiding her over the back of the chair. It was a heavy farmhouse style chair with a thick top rail that was waist height. Whether purchased on purpose or just by pure chance, in order for Piper to comply and bend fully over the back of the chair she would have to come up on tip toes. This served to stretch Pipers bottom nice and taught, Nate was impressed but also worried, with stretched skin, this paddling was going to hurt. "If you need to," Nate looking for a conciliatory act, pointed to the seat, "You can grip the sides."
Once Piper was in place, Nate stood back to retrieve the paddle from the breakfast bar, where Cait and Curie were sat. He turned to view his freshly spanked companion, now bent over the chair and presenting her bottom for the paddle. Almost her entire bottom and a goodly part of the top of her legs was a bright crimson, she will be feeling this for a while thought Nate. But Piper was clear about what she wanted, and a smarting bottom for a few days was, for her, a preferable replacement for the guilt she had been carrying around for her behaviour.
Nate glanced at Curie and Cait. Curie smiled nervously and Cait nodded, they were both feeling this and the hard part hadn't even begun yet. He moved over to stand behind Piper and grabbing her hips he guided her a little further away from the chair, so Piper wasn't flat up against the back. This new stance had her stretched a little more to reach over and grip the seat, but Nate did it so he could have her arch her back down, sticking her bottom out a little further. Happy with Pipers position Nate moved to her side, Taking the paddle into his hand and lining it up against her now well presented bottom.
"You are to keep this position, is that clear?" Nate ordered, wanting to sound as stern as he could, as he knew this next part of Pipers punishment was going to test her greatly.
"Yes sir," Piper answered very quietly.
Stepping back and tapping the paddle against Pipers bottom Nate raised his arm to shoulder height,
CRACK!
The paddle impacted with Pipers bottom and she immediately jumped up and grabbed at her burning backside.
"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" She cried, as she squatted down bouncing on her heels rubbing her bottom furiously.
"Back into position now, Piper!" Nate barked, hoping his severe tone would shock her into complying. Still rubbing she stood and slowly and shakily bent back over the chair.
"Oh my god I am going to die!" Piper exclaimed, clearly crying already and that was swat one of twelve. Whilst Piper had bent back over as ordered, all semblance of the well presented, tight bottom and a gracefully arched back had gone out of the window but Nate wasn't going to insist, this was going to be tough enough for Piper. Piper had bent back over the chair but with her back arched and her feet firmly on the floor, but at least she was back in position. Part of Nate was wondering if she was going to be able to take her paddling now that he had started. That being said, she was a tough cookie and she needed to be given a chance to take her licks, Nate wasn't going to give up on her yet.
An oval of deep red had appeared on the fleshiest part of Pipers right bottom cheek, signalling where the paddle had landed. Nate had hoped he would be able to strike both cheeks in equal measure but seeing the evidence, Nate aimed the next swat at her left cheek.
THWACK!
The top part of the paddle blade made contact with Pipers bottom.
"AHHHHHHH!" Cried Piper, bucking her bottom up and down as if to shake off the pain. Nate stepped forward and rested a stilling hand on the small of her back. She took his cue and was still.
CRACK!
The paddle was back across the right cheek, this time a little higher. Again, Piper kept her feet in the same position but bent both legs, dropping her bottom a little, before coming back up into position.
"Ah, Ha, HA, FUCK, Fuck, Fuck," was all Piper said. Nate wasn't sure if he should allow cursing when he was punishing the girls but for the moment he was happy for Piper to use whatever she could to help her through the rest of these swats.
THWACK!
Number four was as across both cheeks as Nate could make it but was soon shown another small oval on Pipers right cheek, showing him he needed to even things out. Stepping back and lining up the paddle, this time the swats were going to go onto the lowest part of Pipers bottom and somewhere that had not, up until now, had much in the way of attention.
THWOP!
Swat five found its target and Piper was up and clutching feverishly at her behind.
"Ah, ha, HA, I Can't," Piper half cried half pleaded and she hopped from one foot to the other.
"You can Piper," Nate sounded confident and reassuring, "you can do this because you are strong, I know you can," Nate gently assured Piper, whilst moving her back into position. Piper sniffed, rolled her shoulders and took up the position once more, that's my girl, thought Nate.
THWACK!
Six took Pipers bottom on the underside of the left cheek, opposite where the last swat landed and this propelled Piper forward, up onto her tiptoes, but she didn't move out of the bent over position.
"AGH!" Piper screamed furiously
"Good girl," Nate praised as he was beginning to think she was going to be able to see this through.
Determined to land a swat on both cheeks, Nate stood beside Piper but a little way down her body and closer to her shoulder. He rested the base of the paddle on the nearest cheek to him assuming that physics would do the rest of the work for him.
THWACK!
The paddle made contact with both cheeks, the lower part of the paddle with Pipers left cheek and the upper part with her right. Nate was rewarded with a louder than usual smack and he knew he had managed to effectively strike both.
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!" Piper cried out, throwing her arms out wide behind her. She didn't grasp at her bottom, but Nate could see that she was close to. Pipers bottom was now peppered with a number of small purple ovals all occupying the lower part of her very punished bottom. The two on her sit bones were the most prominent and topped off with white. There was absolutely no doubt that Piper would end up sporting some marks for a good few days despite the vitamin regime Nate had the girls on.
Nate rested the paddle against the roundest part of Pipers bottom, stepping down the side of Pipers body, he was going to try to get both sides again. Tapping the paddle twice on her nearest cheek, Nate shifted position slightly and brought the paddle down on her bottom with a resounding…
CRACK!
The board made contact with both cheeks, pushing them both in before they bounced back to regain their original shape.
"FFFUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKK!, fuck! Fuck!" Piper cried out, not being able to stop her hands from flying back to protect her throbbing and now swollen backside.
Nate waited for a few seconds as he had no problem in Piper buying herself a small amount of respite, but with only a few left, Nate knew he would have to be tough on her to get Piper through this.
"Move your hands young lady or I will have Curie come over here and hold you in place." Nate ordered, looking up to catch Curies surprised face. Nate smiled at her with a little shake of his head, this was just a threat. It seemed to work though, as Piper took her hands away and gripped the seat of the chair.
"You have four left my love and you are doing really well, not far to go now." Nate hoped he had sounded confident enough. Deciding that these will be alternated between cheeks, Nate would put two on her sit spots and two on the top of her thighs. Stepping back a little he rested the paddle on Pipers right cheek.
CRACK!
The paddle blade impacted on its target and the surface area took an a darker burgundy.
"AGH!" Piper rocked forward, again going on to tiptoes as she shook her bottom, but she didn't move her feet or hands.
"Good Girl," reassured Nate, "Three to go."
Nate tapped the paddle blade against Pipers left cheek.
CRACK!
It again impacted on the roundest part of her backside and she cried out.
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" I can't help it!" Piper sobbed and she clutched at her bottom again, trying in vain to rub away the sting.
Feeing sorry for the poor girl, who had taken a good spanking and one hell of a paddling, Nate stepped up next to her.
"Just two more to go and you will be all done, you have done so well, my love, so well." Nate gently pushed Piper back over the chair and then wrapped his left arm around her waist leaving her bottom and legs held fast tucked up against Nate's side, sticking out through the crook in his arm. He realised that with such a long paddle, this position wouldn't be ideal, but he wanted to give Piper her last two in quick succession, and this was the only way he was going to be able to keep her still. Angling the paddle slightly downwards, he lined up the first of the two swats against her far cheek.
CRACK!
And then moving to the nearest cheek,
THWACK!
Nate delivered both with force, to drive the point of the punishment home and Piper cried out and kicked out behind her, trying to turn her body and therefore her bottom away from the paddles swing.
"All over now," Nate reassured the sobbing Piper as he gently let her go. She stood up and began rubbing and hopping on the spot. Nate turned Piper to face him and could see her face was streaked with tear tracks.
"You were amazing," Nate smiled, and was really pleased when he was greeted with a small, albeit weak, smile back. She was going to be ok, Nate thought.
"Ok, young lady, the last part of your punishment today," Nate gently turned Piper around and walked her up to the wall at the back of Home Plate, the wall Piper had just been staring at whilst getting her licks with the paddle. Nate placed Piper, facing the wall and lifted both her hands to rest on the top of her head.
"You will stay there for five minutes as you think about your behaviour and what earnt you your punishment today." Nate was back into top mode. "If I catch you rubbing I will have you back over the chair for more swats, do I make myself clear?" Nate clarified.
"Yes… Yes sir," Piper replied not yet in control of her sobbing reflexes.
Nate walked away leaving Piper facing the wall and went over to where Curie and Cait were sat. Thinking it would be best not to draw any more attention to Piper whilst she spent the next few minutes coming down from her punishment, Nate handed the paddle to Curie.
"Could you put that away please, Curie and I'll make some coffee," Nate smiled at Curie, who was showing real concern on her face for her friend, nodded back at Nate and headed to the armoury. As Cait stood from the stool she was perched on she mouthed, 'WOW!' to Nate, with her eyes wide open. Nate nodded and looked over to his naked companion still stood facing the wall. Pipers bottom was a mass of small purple ovals, over a red and very angry looking base colour. The centres of some of the ovals were now white as if they had been coloured in with chalk. Nate took a quick look at the clock, Piper had four more minutes. He smiled at her current stance, although she was standing naked with her nose against the wall, he could swear she had her shoulders raised, was a little more erect and proud, if that was possible in her current position, or was that just Nate imagining things. Facing the wall Piper had gained control over her breathing and she had stopped crying. She sniffed unconsciously and shifted slightly from foot to foot, her bottom obviously throbbing. Nate could see that all she wanted to do right now was to be allowed to rub the soreness away or to have some cooling arnica cream rubbed into her poor punished rear. Only a few more minutes he thought.
Given Piper the few minutes she needed, Nate turned to Cait, "Doc McClintock has asked us to take a look up near Taffington Boathouse for a missing shipment she was expecting to have received by now. I was thinking of taking the Red Wave up there as I want to take a look at the boathouse anyway."
"Ok," said Cait, "But why the boathouse, what's going on there that is of interest."
"Nothing at the moment," Nate answered, "but that could change," Cait raised her eyebrows as if in a question.
"You want to see if you can get water from there," Curie spoke as she came back from the armoury. "That conversation you had with the Bobrov brothers when we were last in the Dugout."
"Exactly" Nate smiled at Curie, but Cait was still looking puzzled, "The last time we were in the Dugout, when you were chatting to Scarlett, I spoke to Vadim about the water situation in Diamond City." Nate glanced at the clock, two minutes left. "He was telling me of his plan to install a few water purifiers by the boat house and getting one of the caravans to collect the fresh water on their way down to here or Bunker Hill."
"It would need defending" Cait pointed out.
"Oh of course, but it is worth a quick recce. I know Vadim always comes up with crazy ideas but this one piqued my curiosity. It would certainly be a regular income source if we could get it to work."
"We would have to get someone to stay there and guard the installation, once it was up and running, and wouldn't that cost a bit?" Cait asked.
"Well, I know it's a long shot but why not head over to the Prydwen and speak to the Brotherhood. Danse still owes us a favour and I know they are as keen to get their hands on a reliable water source as we are. I think we might have to go to the Dugout later to run that past Vadim."
"Oh, you forcing me to have a drink with you now?" Cait smiled, "Well if you insist."
Nate then brought the girls attention to the clock, and he made his way to Piper.
"You have had your five minutes, Piper, you can come out now." Nate moved up to stand behind her and Piper turned to face him and slowly lowered her arms. Nate could see that the tear streaks were still evident, but she was looking directly at him with a very sorry look on her face. All of a sudden she flung her arms out and around Nates neck. Caught by surprise, Nate took a second before wrapping his arms around Piper and pulling her close.
"I am so sorry" Piper began crying into Nates shoulder.
"Hey, Hey" Nate pushed Piper away from him gently so he could look at her face. "You have nothing to be sorry about, you have been completely forgiven by us all, so we will have none of this," Nate wiped a tear that raced down Pipers cheek.
"Here, go clean up as I have a coffee on and we need to plan for a little boat trip," Nate said as, keeping his right arm around her waist, he gently moved Piper past him and into the waiting arms of Cait who took up giving Piper a hug. Curie came up to stand next to Cait and began rubbing Pipers back.
"You were incredibly brave, Piper" Curie said genuinely impressed with what she had just witnessed.
Cait help Piper at arms length, and tucking a lock of Pipers hair behind her ear Cait said, "Right, you look a mess, lets go and get you cleaned up shall we." Piper nodded smiled at that.
"Yes, I would like that" she replied as she was shepherded towards the stairs.
Once the girls had disappeared, Nate got to brewing the coffee's and, shouting down to Cait confirmed that she wanted a tea.
