The Charles Smith Academy

  Hazel sat up and squealed, jumping up to clutch her bottom. She blushed, feeling a bit silly. “I’m sorry Sir, it hurts.”

  Charles smiled as he ruffled her hair. “Yes, I imagine it’ll hurt for a little while yet Hazel. My wife felt the sting of my cane once. She never ever came back for a second dose. She learned her lesson and I hope you will too.”

  Hazel hated to see the hurt in Charles’ eyes when he talked about his family. She knelt down beside him and hugged him tight.

  “Come on then Hazel,” Charles said, brightening up. “If you’re insisting I spank you we might as well get it over with.”

  Charles pulled himself up off the floor and sat on the sofa, guiding Hazel across his knee. Her bottom was still bare and he spent a few minutes gently caressing the stripes that covered the lower half of her bottom. Hazel smiled. It still hurt and she wasn’t sure she could endure a spanking, but knowing Charles loved her made it not quite so scary.

  Charles eventually stopped rubbing and patted his hand on her bottom. “Hazel, I’m glad you’ve finally decided to admit to your lies. You’re going to be spanked and I really hope I don’t ever have to spank you again for lying.”

  “Oh no Sir, I promise you won’t. I’ll never lie to you again.”

  “If you do, I promise you’ll be spanked much harder and for much longer.”

  Hazel nodded. “Yes Sir, I understand. I’m so sorry I lied to you. I’m sorry I was jealous of Jenny. I’m sorry I’ve left it for so long before telling you the truth. I’m sorry that it took Judge Walker’s harsh words to make me realise that I was in the wrong. I know you’re not happy that he had to intervene and that I made you look foolish in front of him. I love you so much Sir and I truly am sorry.”

  Charles’ hand landed firmly in the centre of Hazel’s bottom, causing her to squeal. “Hazel, give me your hand.”

  Hazel reached back and he clutched her hand in his as he started to spank her with his other hand. She squirmed uncomfortably across his lap as his smacks seemed to reignite the sting in her very marked bottom. She knew he wasn’t spanking her hard at all and she was very grateful for that, but it still stung terribly. She smiled as he squeezed her hand gently. She felt safe and loved and very much forgiven.

  When he finally stopped smacking and helped her up, sitting her carefully on his lap, she clung tightly to him and started to cry.

  “I’m sorry Sir. Please forgive me.”

  Charles smiled as he held her close. “You’re forgiven Hazel, for everything. Now let’s go and see what Jenny’s up to.”

  Standing her up, he pulled her panties over her bottom, causing her to wince. “Good girl, you took your punishment well.”

  Hazel smiled brightly as he led her by the hand up to Jenny’s room. When they reached the door, he turned to her. “Do you want to go and have a lie down Hazel?”

  She shook her head. “No Sir, I’m fine, sore but fine.”

  Charles smiled as he knocked on Jenny’s door and led Hazel inside.

  They were surprised to see Jenny sitting on her bed looking sad. Charles sat down beside her and put his arm around her. “I’m sorry Jenny. I know you didn’t like to see Hazel punished so hard, but she deserved it. It’s over now and everyone’s happy again.”

  “I’m not happy Sir.”

  “Why’s that Jenny?”

  Jenny sighed. “You punished Hazel for getting me into trouble.”

  “Yes, I did. She deserved it.”

  “You didn’t punish me for getting her into trouble,” she sulked.

  Charles laughed. “If you each keep getting jealous when the other gets spanked, you’ll be spending all day every day over my knee. I’m an old man - I can’t keep up with the pair of you.”

  Jenny scowled. “Sir, I’m not jealous of Hazel being spanked at all. You said you smacked her for causing me to be spanked, but she only did that to me because I was equally horrible to her. That first week I was here I deliberately spilled things on surfaces that Hazel had just cleaned and when she got frightened about being spanked I used to hit her on the bottom and taunt her, saying you’d spank her hard and send her away and give me her job.”

  Charles looked shocked. “Jenny, that’s terrible.”

  Turning to Hazel he asked: “Is this true?”

  Hazel nodded. She remembered what a little cow Jenny had been at first, when Charles wasn’t around, and she smiled as he sat down on Jenny’s bed and guided her across his lap.

  Charles looked towards Hazel. “Pass me the hairbrush please Hazel.”

  Jenny whimpered as Charles spent the next few minutes peppering her bottom with sharp smacks, but Hazel thought she was being a big baby as he hadn’t smacked her that hard.

  Helping her to her feet, Charles pulled them both into his arms. “Right, do either of you have anything else to confess to?”

  “No Sir,” they chorused, shaking their heads and giggling.

  “You were both very naughty, but you’ve both been punished. Obviously things have changed now and I hope you don’t play such nasty pranks on each other anymore.”

  They shook their heads.

  “You’ve seen how effective my cane is, though fortunately for you Jenny you don’t know how painful it is. Make sure it stays that way.” He looked at Jenny sternly.

  “I promise you if there’s any more nonsense, telling lies or deliberately trying to get each other into trouble, the cane will come out again. I’m going to put it back in the cupboard now and I’m hoping it can stay there and gather dust again. I don’t like having to be so hard with you, but I will if you make it necessary. Do you understand?”

  Hazel and Jenny nodded.

  “OK, well you know Judge Walker’s visiting on Friday, so I’ll leave you to practice your reading before bed. Hazel can stay in here tonight, but I want the light out in an hour. Please try to be good. You’ve exhausted me today.”

  Hazel and Jenny giggled as he kissed them goodnight.

  Charles went downstairs, poured himself a well earned brandy and sighed deeply as he slumped down in his armchair. Hearing Hazel and Jenny talking and giggling upstairs, he smiled. At last he had a happy house again. He hoped it would stay that way.

  Chapter Three

  THE day of Judge Walker’s visit arrived and Charles was feeling particularly anxious. He wanted everything to go perfectly for Jenny. He knew how much it meant to her. He’d eavesdropped on her reading to Hazel the previous evening and as he’d listened intently outside the closed door, he’d felt his heart would burst with pride.

  Charles knew she’d changed her life for the better, but was concerned the judge may take her away from him now they’d achieved what they set out to do. He’d got used to her being around and didn’t want her to leave.

  He was also worried she may actually want to leave. After all, why on earth would a young woman want to stay with an old man who spanked her bottom every time she displeased him? He loved her dearly, but sadly acknowledged he may have nothing to offer that would make her stay.

  He loved Hazel equally, but if he lost Jenny he felt certain he’d lose Hazel too. Inevitably they’d want a place of their own where they could have as much privacy as they wanted, where they’d be able to make love on the kitchen table if they wished without fear of being caught and punished.

  His house was lively again, like when his wife and daughter were still around. He smiled sadly at the memory. He never wanted to be alone again. He’d loved sharing his home with Hazel, but now Jenny was here too the house was so much happier. He didn’t want that to end.

  Charles was so happy and was terrified that at any time the bubble might burst, as it had many years ago when he found his wife and daughter gone.

  Charles scolded himself for being selfish, as Jenny burst into his room and bounced on the bed. “I’m so excited. I’m going to read for you and Judge Walker soon.”

  Charles smiled, blinking tears away so Jenny wouldn’t see his sadness.

  “A
re you OK Sir?”

  Charles smiled and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her softly on the top of her head. “I was just thinking how very proud I am of you.”

  A knock on the door disturbed them. Charles looked over to see Hazel standing in the doorway. “Can I come in?”

  Charles smiled. There were still the odd hints of jealousy when one was getting all of his attention. With one arm around Jenny, Charles held his other arm out to Hazel and she hurried to join them. Charles held them close and closed his eyes, savouring the moment.

  “Come on you two, time to get to work.”

  Hazel and Jenny smiled brightly as they jumped off his bed and went to get ready as Charles made his way downstairs.

  Charles watched as they prepared breakfast. If they left he could get another housekeeper easily enough, but it wouldn’t be the same. He’d grown to love them both.

  They enjoyed breakfast together and Charles stayed at the kitchen table reading his paper as they cleaned around him afterwards. He listened to their excited chattering as they completed the rest of their chores before rushing down to the classroom.

  Charles smiled as he heard the sound of paddle on bottom after less than five minutes, but as his reading over the next half hour was frequently disturbed by the sounds of spanking he went down to investigate.

  He entered the classroom to see Hazel standing in the corner rubbing her bare bottom, which still showed clear evidence of her recent caning. Jenny was bending over the desk, the paddle cracking down on her bottom.

  “Get in that corner and calm yourself down. I don’t want either of you back in your seats until you’re ready to behave,” said Mr Bainbridge.

  Charles watched Jenny shuffle to the corner where Hazel was standing and they started to giggle.

  “In the opposite corner please Jenny.”

  Jenny giggled as she made her way to the other side of the room, but her smile disappeared when she saw Charles. Shaking his head he turned and left the room.

  Charles went up to his office, picked up a small paddle and made his way back to the classroom.

  “You seem to be having a bit of trouble keeping them under control today, Mr Bainbridge.”

  Mr Bainbridge looked up from his paperwork. “Yes, they’re both being particularly naughty. I thought a bit of corner time might calm them down, but it seems you have a better solution.” Mr Bainbridge smiled as he nodded towards the paddle in Charles’ hand.

  Charles walked across to one of the desks, pulled out the chair and sat down. He watched Jenny and Hazel standing bare bottomed in opposite corners.

  “Jenny, come here.”

  Jenny turned slowly. He felt a bit guilty because he knew how excited she was about today, but her behaviour was unacceptable. He put the paddle on the desk and reached out to Jenny as she hesitantly approached.

  He grasped her hand and squeezed it gently. “Jenny, I know you’re excited but you need to calm down. I’m going to spank you and then I want you to sit down and behave. If you give Mr Bainbridge cause to spank you again, I will simply call Judge Walker and tell him today’s visit is cancelled.”

  Jenny looked at him, tears in her eyes. “Please don’t do that Sir. I’ll be good. I promise.” Her bottom lip quivered.

  “Calm down Jenny. It’s up to you what happens. Be a good girl and Judge Walker will be here soon. I’m sure you can manage to behave yourself for an hour.”

  “Yes Sir. I’m sorry.”

  Charles was pleased she didn’t try to talk him out of spanking her and simply put herself across his lap, her jeans and panties still around her thighs and her bare and slightly reddened bottom ready to be spanked yet again. Charles sighed as he tightened his grip on her and raised his hand.

  Charles was quite cross that she’d chosen today to be really naughty and he spanked harder than he would normally. His hand connected sharply with the bare flesh of her upper thighs and she squirmed uncomfortably. When her bottom and thighs were nicely reddened and his hand was stinging, he leaned forward and picked up the paddle.

  Tightening his grip around her waist and shuffling her slightly forward, he watched as her feet left the floor and dangled in mid-air. He noticed she was trembling slightly.

  Charles raised the paddle and cracked it down hard. He peppered her bottom with sharp smacks for the next few minutes as she squirmed and whimpered, begging him to stop and promising to be good.

  Charles wanted to be sure he wouldn’t have to carry out his threat to cancel the judge’s visit and reluctantly he continued the stinging paddling down the back of her thighs. She squealed in pain and her legs kicked hard as she sobbed. Charles cracked the paddle down another few times before gently rubbing her bottom and thighs as she sobbed loudly.

  When she was calm he helped her up and she threw herself into his arms. She cried as she clung tightly to him. “I’m so sorry Sir.”

  Charles held her as he kissed her tears away and tried to console her. She cried for a long time and Charles felt he’d maybe been too harsh. He was pleased when her tears eventually stopped and she looked up at him. “I’m sorry I’ve been so naughty and you had to spank me. I love you so much. I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me. Please don’t cancel Judge Walker’s visit.”

  Tears rolled down her cheeks as Charles shook his head. “I won’t. You just need to be a good girl and he’ll be here soon. Can you do that for me?”

  She smiled and nodded enthusiastically as he stood her up and pulled her panties up. She winced as he tugged her jeans over her sore bottom. He was pleased when she hugged him again. “I am sorry Sir.”

  “I know you are. Now get back into your seat and get on with your work.” Jenny jumped up and immediately obeyed, squealing as she sat down a bit too hard on her seat.

  Charles looked towards the corner. “Hazel, come here.”

  Hazel turned and slowly made her way across to Charles, looking with concern at Jenny before glaring accusingly at Charles.

  Charles laughed. “If you both learned how to behave I wouldn’t have to spank you so hard or so often. Get yourself across my knee. Judge Walker will be here soon and I’m sure you don’t want him to see you getting your bare bottom spanked.”

  Hazel blushed and lowered herself into position. Charles took a firm grip on his housekeeper’s waist as he raised his hand and started to spank her. He didn’t spank her too hard. The punishment was really for Jenny’s benefit, he needed her on her best behaviour when the judge arrived. He saw no reason to give Hazel more than a token punishment. He also felt guilty about the raised welts on her bottom from her caning. From her kicking and squirming, it was apparent that even a relatively gentle spanking was still incredibly painful.

  He smiled as he imagined what Hazel’s reaction would be to the hard spanking Jenny had just received. He didn’t have to exert half as much effort into spanking Hazel to ensure a lesson was learned. Reaching across, he picked up the paddle, raised it in the air and cracked it down on her right cheek. She whimpered and squirmed as a loud knock at the door signified the judge’s arrival.

  Before Charles had chance to react, Jenny was out of her seat and running towards the stairs. He smiled as she stopped in her tracks and turned towards him. “Go on Jenny, let Judge Walker in. Take him to my office then get yourself back down here. Tell him I won’t be long.”

  Before he’d finished speaking Jenny was gone. Cracking the paddle down six times on each buttock, Charles stopped and helped a sobbing Hazel to her feet. “You’re a very lucky girl. You would have got more if Judge Walker hadn’t arrived when he did.”

  Charles had had no intention of giving Hazel a long, hard paddling, but the look of shock on her face at the thought of what she might have received would hopefully make her behave today too.

  Giving her a hug and kiss and rubbing her bottom before pulling her panties and jeans up, he got out of her seat and guided her into it. “I love you Sir.” He smiled brightly. “I love you too Hazel. Remember, bes
t behaviour today or I will finish that spanking later.” Hazel’s face paled as she nodded.

  Charles went upstairs to find Judge Walker standing in the hallway being hugged to within an inch of his life by a very excited Jenny. Smiling, he prised her away from the judge and sent her back down to the classroom with a firm smack on her bottom. “We’ll be down soon. It’s up to you whether you read for the judge or whether you’re going to be spanked by him.”

  Jenny grinned. “I’m going to read for him Sir.”

  A little while later, after Charles and Judge Walker had chatted about Jenny’s progress and Jenny and Hazel had continued with their lesson, Charles and Judge Walker finally entered the classroom. Jenny immediately jumped to her feet. “Can I read now, please Sir? I’ve been a good girl, haven’t I Mr Bainbridge?”

  Mr Bainbridge nodded. “They’ve been good as gold since you spanked them. Nothing like the two naughty girls I’ve had to punish several times this morning. I guess the hard paddling you gave them did the trick.”

  Charles laughed at their reactions. Jenny grinned as she stood clutching her book, eagerly waiting to read for them. Hazel pouted and glared at Mr Bainbridge.

  Looking towards Jenny, Charles nodded. “Go on then Jenny, let’s hear you read.”

  Tears rolled down Charles’ face as Jenny read from Dr Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat. She smiled throughout and Charles felt so proud of her. He glanced at the judge and was pleased to see him smiling too.

  When Jenny finished reading and proudly put her book on her desk, Hazel stood up and clapped loudly. Charles, Judge Walker and Mr Bainbridge all joined in with the applause.

  Jenny ran to Charles and hugged him tight. “Are you pleased Sir?”

  Charles nodded.

  “So why are you crying Sir?”

  Charles smiled brightly. “I’m so proud of you Jenny. That was wonderful.”

  With a huge smile, Jenny turned to the judge. “Are you proud too?”

  Judge Walker nodded. “Yes Jenny. I’m very proud of you and so pleased you’ve taken this chance to improve yourself. Well done.”
