Olivia sighed tiredly as she shut down her computer. She looked at her phone and saw that it was well after midnight. She also noticed that she had missed a call from Liz Donnelly, but reasoned that it was obviously too late to return the call tonight. The tired detective gathered her things and walked out of her office, through the empty bullpen, and out of the precinct, being the last one to clock out for the night. Olivia drove home and quietly opened the door of her apartment. She kicked her shoes off, put her badge and gun away, and crept down the hall to the bedroom. Being careful not to disturb her sleeping wife, Olivia took a quick shower, dried her hair, and quietly changed into her pajama pants and tank before approaching her side of the bed. She immediately noticed a folded piece of paper on her pillow with the word 'Ma'am' written across it in Alex's neat handwriting. Olivia responded to many names; 'Ma'am' was a special title of respect only used under very specific circumstances. Olivia's curiosity trumped her exhaustion as she picked up the piece of paper and quietly left the bedroom to return to the living room where she sat down on the couch and opened the piece of paper to find out what her blonde love had to say.
Hi Ma'am,
I'm sure that Liz has already called you like she always does to tell you that I was paddled today, but I also wanted to confess on my own because it's already past my bedtime and I can't sleep with this guilt in my stomach. Yesterday I decided to play hooky from work, and Liz found out because I didn't call in. I don't have a legitimate excuse, I just did it because I wanted to take a mental health day. Liz let me off easy, I got twenty five swats with the paddle. I just wanted you to know that I really am sorry, I'm not just saying it, and I know that I deserve to be punished again today. I will try to be a good girl for whatever you decide I deserve, although I am already looking forward to my punishment being over and you holding me. I love you so much, thank you for your love and your discipline.
Love Always,
Me
Olivia sighed as she went in search of a piece of paper and something to write with to leave a message of her own. With that accomplished, the exhausted detective went back to the bedroom and crawled into bed beside her sleeping wife.
"Brat." Olivia whispered affectionately, giving Alex a tender kiss on her temple and then she settled down to go to sleep.
The next morning, Alex woke up and quietly crawled out of bed, being careful not to disturb her sleeping wife. The blonde woman showered and dressed and then she went to the kitchen. When she went to the coffee pot to start making coffee, she found a note written in Olivia's neat handwriting and she paused to find out what her beloved wife had to say.
Hi baby girl,
First of all, you are not in trouble for being up past bedtime. I understand not being able to sleep, and you were out cold when I came home, so it's fine. Secondly, I am very, very proud of you for confessing on your own right away. Liz did call me, but I missed her call so I didn't get a chance to talk to her because we had an emergency case come in at around two and I spent most of my day dealing with ACS. With that said, I am disappointed in your behavior and we are going to have a serious discussion today with you over my knee. I understand wanting to take a mental health day every once in a while, but you went about it all wrong. The first thing you should have done is tell me about it, so that I would know that you wouldn't be at work. If we had needed you to get us a warrant, we wouldn't have been able to get a hold of you and I would have been worried because I didn't know you were staying home. The second thing you should have done is call Liz and tell her that you were using a personal day. I know you're sorry, and you are absolutely forgiven, but I'm afraid you are going to be getting far more than just twenty five spanks today, probably with the small paddle or hairbrush, I haven't decided which yet. I will also be washing your mouth out with soap today. You didn't exactly lie to me, but when I came home Wednesday evening and asked you how your day was, you said 'fine'. You neglected to tell me that you hadn't been to work, and you know what happens when you hide information from me. I love you more than anything, little one. Go ahead and start making breakfast. When I wake up, we will have breakfast together, and after breakfast we will take care of what needs to be done, and then I will absolutely hold you for as long as you want, just the same as always. And when you feel better, we can enjoy our day off together. I seem to recall that I owe somebody a rematch at chess.
Love Always,
Me
Alex's lower lip trembled a little as she set the note aside and obediently did as she was told and started making breakfast. She had anticipated getting a spanking, but she hadn't anticipated getting a mouthsoaping. The more she thought about it, though, the more it made sense, and she reluctantly accepted that whatever Olivia decided to do to her was right.
Olivia was roused from sleep by the delicious smell of coffee and bacon wafting in the air. The brunette detective crawled out of bed, showered, dressed, and made her way to the kitchen where she found Alex standing at the counter looking sad. Olivia snuck up behind her and gently tickled her sides.
"Eek!" Alex giggled, and spun around, "You scared me!" Alex fell into Olivia's arms and it was several minutes before the two women came up for air.
As breakfast came to a close, Alex began to eat more slowly, trying to push off the inevitable for as long as possible. She could count on one hand the number of times that she had been spanked first thing in the morning, and she hated getting spanked first thing in the morning. It meant that she was going to be sore all day. Alex almost wished that Olivia had hauled her out of bed for a spanking in the middle of the night last night. At least that way, by this morning the pain would have already died down to a dull ache overnight.
"Come on, baby, stalling won't help." Olivia said kindly, having already finished her own breakfast.
Alex reluctantly picked up her pace, and her plate was soon empty. The two women cleaned the kitchen, and then Alex found herself being led to the bedroom with Olivia's gentle hand on her back.
"Do you understand why you're being punished, or do you need to go to the corner and think about it for a little while?" Olivia inquired, sitting down on the bed.
"No, Ma'am, I understand. I played hooky from work without calling in, and I didn't tell you that I played hooky, which is a form of lying." Alex admitted.
"Bring me the small paddle." Olivia ordered.
Tears filled Alex's baby blue eyes as she reluctantly obeyed, going to the closet to retrieve the dreaded implement and then returning to her loving disciplinarian's side. Olivia gently pulled Alex's jeans and panties down to her knees and guided Alex across her lap into the proper position. Olivia took a moment to examine Alex's bottom; there was very little trace left of the twenty five spanks she had received at Liz Donnelly's hands, only a very light pink blush. Olivia raised up her strong right hand and brought it down sharply. And whimpered and winced as the fire on her tender bottom was reignited, and she soon began to cry freely. At work, Alex did everything in her power to keep her emotions in check in front of her boss when she was punished. Here at home, there was no such restriction. Alex knew that she was free to express her emotions and be vocal about the pain. When Olivia decided that Alex's bottom had been warmed up enough, she reached for the paddle. Alex gripped the bed sheets in her hands and squeezed her eyes closed in fearful anticipation of the familiar sting.
"Please, Ma'am, I'm sorry." Alex wept.
"I know, baby. We're not done yet." Olivia replied as she raised up the paddle.
"OUCHY! OWIE!" Alex yelped as her paddling began.
Alex tried to keep count in her head and lost track after the tenth spank. She had no idea how much she had taken or how much she had left to take, but true to Olivia's word, it was far more than twenty five spanks. Eventually Alex began to sob deeply, and it wasn't long after that when Olivia felt Alex go limp across her lap. The spanking was immediately over and Olivia tossed the paddle aside as if it had burned her. Olivia reached underneath Alex's t-shirt and lovingly rubbed her heaving back. Olivia took a moment to examine Alex's crimson bottom and was satisfied that it would be thoroughly healed in a day or two.
"Get up when you want to, sweetheart. We're almost done, we have one last thing to take care of and then it's all over." Olivia soothed.
Alex was too tired to argue, she felt like she needed a nap already and it was still morning. The sobbing blonde spent a few minutes resting across Olivia's lap and catching her breath. When she felt strong enough, Alex pushed herself up from Olivia's lap and let Olivia guide her into the bathroom where she reluctantly sat down on the closed toilet seat lid. While Olivia prepared the soapy cloth, Alex took the opportunity to wipe her eyes and nose.
"Open." Olivia placed her hand on the nape of Alex's neck as if drawing her to her.
Alex squeezed her eyes closed and reluctantly opened her mouth. Olivia spent several minutes scrubbing Alex's mouth with the soapy cloth, and after about five minutes she removed the cloth and placed the bar of soap in Alex's mouth. As always, Olivia allowed Alex to rest her head against her hip and she held Alex's hand to support her through the ordeal while Alex sobbed as if the world was coming to an end.
"That's my good girl. I know you're sorry, baby. Just a few more minutes and this whole thing will be all over and I'll hold you all day if that's what my angel wants." Olivia lovingly stroked Alex's long blonde hair to soothe her.
Finally, it was over. Olivia removed the bar of soap and kissed Alex's forehead, and then Alex jumped up and rushed to rinse her mouth with water for several minutes until the awful taste of ivory was about as diluted as it was going to get. With that accomplished, Alex turned and fell into Olivia's open arms.
"I'm so sorry!" Alex sobbed.
"I know, sweetheart. My good girl is all forgiven. Come here, angel, and I'll hold you now." Olivia cooed.
Olivia guided Alex back out to the bedroom and arranged them so that they were both comfy on the bed. Alex climbed practically on top of Olivia to be cuddled, comforted, and babied while Olivia showered her with praise and affection.
"There, there. That's my good girl. You just relax now and cry it out, baby girl. It's all over." Olivia soothed.
Alex cried herself to sleep in Olivia's arms. When she woke up again, she was tucked into bed on her belly with a light sheet covering her. The blonde winced a little as she crawled out of bed and went in search of the loosest pair of panties she could find. Despite knowing it was against the rules, Alex took a brief moment to gently rub her sore bottom, and then she left the bedroom in search of Olivia with more tears filling her baby blue eyes.
"There's my good girl." Olivia smiled lovingly when Alex found her sitting at the kitchen table doing paperwork.
"Can I have your lap?" Alex asked quietly.
"Of course. Come here, angel." Olivia took Alex out to the living room where she sat down and guided her to cuddle on her lap. Alex sniffled as she snuggled down into Olivia's arms.
Luckily, Alex was easily soothed and only cried for a few minutes. When her eyes were dry, she stayed cuddled in Olivia's arms and listened to Olivia's loving voice speaking to her gently.
"You said something about a chess rematch?" Alex asked, smiling a little, and Olivia chuckled.
"You go find your pants, I'll set up the board."
