Gloria Part 2.
Two nights later Gloria was surprised and of course, ashamed to see Mr. Brown sitting in his usual spot. She tried to ignore him but could tell he was looking at her. She was tempted to complain to Uncle Fred but after what had happened she wasn't sure if he would support any grievance against this man. So she did her best to stay clear of him but made sure he saw her glare angrily in his direction at least once. She didn't notice when he left but when the house lights came on she was relieved to see that he was gone. Since it was the last showing of the evening Gloria stayed to help with the cleaning. When she was leaving Uncle Fred was waiting for her in the lobby with a bouquet of flowers. Gloria asked if they were for her and Fred nodded. She thanked him and he said, "They're not from me. Read this."
He handed her a note. It read:
Gloria,
I'm sorry for everything that has happened. I feel that I should bear some responsibility for the incident. I've talked with your parents and your uncle today and they explained what led up to it. I can see why you took umbrage at my words and in retrospect I agree that they were insensitive and rather boorish. Please accept my apology.
You may be embarrassed that you are still subject to spanking but you should not be. It might help you to know that I come from a family with similar views regarding discipline. Age is not a factor in determining if a that is the appropriate method of chastisement. In fact, I have two sisters who are not very much younger than you. They're still living at home and continue to get spanked when needed. Truth be told, it was not that long ago that I was the recipient of one and I'm sure that if I were not living so far away my rear end could easily be called upon to atone for errors in judgement. Your parents are like mine in that they love you and their discipline is just one way they show it.
Which brings me to what happened last Friday. I understand your parents thought I had requested to take part. That is not entirely true. I want you to know that I would never presume to take it upon myself to decide if and when you need to be punished. I don't recall the exact conversation but the determination for me to take an active role was made more by accident than design. Nevertheless, once the decision had been made I felt it necessary to follow through. I want you to know that I took no pleasure in my role but I could not shirk my responsibility. I had an obligation to help you learn a good lesson and that meant delivering a long hard spanking. I hoped at the time, and still do, that you would benefit from it. I realize that you may think I was too severe but as you see, I cannot apologize for that.
A last word on the subject. Regardless of their chronological age a person getting a spanking like the one I gave you cannot help but cry and plead during the process. You may think that makes you sound like an immature child but I assure you that it only shows that the process is having a salutary effect. I can truthfully say that I never thought of you as a child. I've watched you in the theater and I see that you are a very competent young woman. You are an asset to your uncle and, the incident last week notwithstanding, a source of pride for your family. Forgive me for my boldness but I have to add that I envy the man who captures the heart of someone so beautiful and capable.
Again I ask you to accept my apologies for my foolish words.
Sincerely,
Henry Brown.
The girl didn't know what to think. She was starting to cry and looked up at her uncle. "I should tell him that I don't blame him for anything. Can you get a message to him?"
Uncle Fred answered, "I could but you can tell him yourself. He's in the office."
Gloria slowly opened the door. Henry stood up and put out his hand. She said, "Good evening Mr. Brown." and they shook hands.
He responded, "Good evening Gloria and I would prefer it if you called me Henry."
Maybe because he had spanked this young woman and had seen her bare bottom or for some other reason but he no longer felt quite so shy. He almost gave up when he saw the way she glowered at him in the theater but he had not wanted to throw away his last chance to talk to her. The fact that she was almost smiling gave him the courage to continue. "I understand that you are still restricted to your house for another week but your parents said that did not prevent visitors. You do not have to work tomorrow night and they told me that I'd be welcome to come to dinner but the final decision is yours."
After a second's pause he gently added, "Of course, I will understand if you never want to see me again since what I did to you was probably very painful."
She blushed and because of what she read in his note she was warming to him. She spoke about the subject in a way that would have been unthinkable before. "Yes it was but it was supposed to be. You did what you had to do and I cannot hold it against you. My parents have spanked me and I don't fault them for it. You wrote that you have also been subject to that form of chastisement so I ask you, do you hold a grudge against the ones who punished you?"
He replied, "Of course not but they are my parents and did it out of concern for my development."
She showed a small smile. "And were you being untruthful when you wrote that you took part in my punishment in order to help me learn a good lesson?"
He shook his head and she continued, "So how can I blame you for doing what you did? Actually it would be just the opposite. I would think less of you if you did not take the job seriously."
Henry was astonished by the way this conversation was going but feeling brave and a bit mischievous he quipped, "So you think I was a capable spanker."
The answer he got was a blush and a bit more of a smile so he went on, "How would you feel if they asked me to take part in one of your punishments in the future?"
She knew he was teasing and two could play at that game. "I know how I'd feel afterwards and that would be very sore. Shall I tell them that you're volunteering to help?"
He laughed and replied, "Sure. You have a beautiful bottom and I'd love to see it bared and over my lap again."
She kept up the repartee. "Aha! Caught you. I thought you didn't find spanking me to be pleasurable."
He was quick to respond. "I didn't but there's a difference between wanting to gaze upon something that wonderful and actually causing it to suffer."
Gloria was on unfamiliar ground. The subject of their banter had just changed from spanking to something more sexual. Nobody had ever made a comment like that to her before. He was saying that he wanted to see a personal part of her body without any clothes on it and not as part of a punishment. Should she be insulted and call a halt to that kind of talk? Actually she was enjoying the attention.
She was saved from making a decision by Uncle Fred. He knocked on the door and said, "Sorry kids but I have to close up and Gloria better get home before she gets into trouble with her folks."
There was something decidedly different about the way Gloria and Henry shook hands at the theater door and as he walked away she said, "Henry, wait. I forgot. Did my folks tell you when to come for dinner?"
He liked hearing his name from her lips and smiled. "Your mother said we'd eat around 6:30 but your father would like to talk to me beforehand so he suggested 6. Does this mean you've decided to invite me?"
She giggled as she said, "Of course you silly little boy."
She stressed the word 'little' and he grinned back at her.
When she got home she put the flowers in a vase and smiled. As she got ready for bed she took a moment to pull her panties down and imagined showing what she uncovered to Henry. Then she was ashamed of such erotic thoughts but not too guilty.
The next evening Father met Henry at the door and escorted him to the living room. Gloria and her mother soon joined them and pleasantries were exchanged. Then the two boys came into the room and one of them asked, "Are you the man who spanked Gloria?"
His sister and Henry both blushed and Mother quickly scolded them. "Yes he is and if you say anything else to embarrass your sister you're going to find out how well Mr. Brown can also spank naughty boys. Go set the table for dinner. I'm going to check on the roast. Gloria, come with me. I need your help."
The young woman knew she wasn't really needed in the kitchen. The real reason was so Father could interrogate Henry. As she departed she gave the dinner guest a smile which he returned. Her father started the questioning of this man who wanted to date his daughter. It soon turned into a friendly chat and Father was more and more impressed with Henry with each passing minute. He was well educated, had a good position with promise of advancement, seemed reliable and had a gentle sense of humor. By the time they were called to the table Father was convinced. He saw the smile that Henry and Gloria had shared and was pleased. If this relationship progressed it would be with his wholehearted approval.
Conversation around the dinner table was lively and animated. There was no doubt. He made a hit with the whole family. The real question was how Gloria felt about him. After dessert the boys disappeared to do their homework and the parents chased Gloria and Henry into the living room while the older generation cleared the table and did the dishes and otherwise let the two young people have their privacy.
When they were alone there was an awkward silence as they both tried to think of something to say. At last he asked if she liked the flowers. She smiled and said, "Yes. They are very nice. Did you pick them out yourself?"
He answered, "No, I just asked for a bouquet and that's what they gave me."
She tried to look coy and quietly teased, "Oh. I wondered because red is the dominant color and I thought you were making a statement regarding the color of my rear end the last time you saw it."
As you can see, she was becoming much more comfortable with the previously unmentionable subject. He flustered a bit and looked towards the door to see if anyone else heard Gloria's comment. Then he leant close to her and whispered, "That should not have been necessary. If you needed to see red flowers to remind you of my spanking then I failed."
She also glanced towards the door and gently rubbed her backside. "Don't worry. You did a very good job. Maybe even a bit too good."
He gave a whispered retort. "I'm glad to hear it. Otherwise I'd have to do it again to get back in practice. Do you think your parents would mind if I took you over my knee right now?"
Up until that time any mention of spanking caused the girl to feel nervous even if it was about someone else getting it. But something had definitely changed. For the first time she thought about being on the receiving end and it didn't frighten her. Also, they were talking about things that most couples would not be comfortable discussing on their first date. Gloria answered him. "You sound like you might even be looking forward to that. Last night you said you just wanted to look at my bare bottom."
It gave Gloria a little thrill to say those last words and Henry never thought he'd hear a girl speak of that part of her own anatomy. He found it somewhat exciting also. "You're correct but why would it be over my lap if it wasn't to get spanked. Maybe not as long as Friday's but enough to get it a little red and I'd stop the minute you started crying. Would you like something like that?"
She didn't answer for a minute. She was trying to come to grips with the idea of a spanking that wasn't to punish her and not fully understanding why she wanted to say "Yes". That was ridiculous. She had only met this man the night before since she didn't count the time he spanked her as a proper introduction. She started hoping someone would come into the room so she could avoid his question.
While she was deep in thought Henry was a bit confused about his actions also. He never thought of spankings as anything other than punishment before. Now he was not only entertaining the idea he actually said it out loud. He was wishing he could take back his words and like Gloria, secretly hoping to see one of the parents interrupting them. He finally said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
Gloria looked up at him. "Why? Because you don't really want to do that or because you think it embarrassed me?"
He decided to be truthful. "Because it seems to have embarrassed you. I like being with you and would not like to make you uncomfortable."
Gloria was thoughtful. What he didn't say was more important than his apology. He did not deny a wish to spank her in the manner he described. Her desire to agree was growing and she was sure that if they were totally alone she might do as he requested. But that was absurd. What was happening to her? At last she spoke. "Forgive me but I'm a bit confused about my feelings and don't know how to answer you. Can we talk about something else?"
He also understood what wasn't said, She had not said No to the idea and he was starting to wonder about himself. Did he really want to do that to her? He wasn't sure. He reached for her hand and said. "OK. By the way. I should've mentioned this when I arrived. You look very nice tonight. You're cute in the usherette uniform but nothing like this."
She smiled and said, "Thank you. You're kind of handsome in a suit. Did you go to the movies a lot before you moved here?"
With that the conversation strayed from the previous subject but not from their minds.
Gloria lay in bed that night and again felt almost guilty for the sort of mental images nice girls shouldn't think about.
The next morning Gloria and her mother sat at the table lingering over some tea. Father had left for work and the boys off to school so they were alone. The older woman commented, "Henry seems to be a very nice young man. Do you like him?"
Gloria blushed a bit and said that she did. Then she tentatively sought some advice. She started by asking, "Did Grandma spank you when you were my age?"
Mother stiffened. "Yes she did and so did your grandfather so if you think you're going to talk me into saying you're too old for a spanking it's not going to work."
Gloria shook her head, "Oh, No Mother. That's not why I'm asking. If you say I need to be spanked then I will be. I may not like them but I accept your right to discipline me. No, what I really want to know is if you ever got spanked by anyone else?"
The woman paused a minute. "What do you mean?"
Gloria was wondering if she should stop but she continued, "Did Father spank you?"
The blushing face was now on the other side of the table. "Why would you ask something like that. Wait a minute. Did Uncle Fred tell you something?"
There was a hint of a smile in her question and Gloria momentarily changed the subject. "Before I answer that I need to ask you about a moral dilemma. Which is worse, betraying a confidence or lying to your mother?"
The older woman laughed out loud. "OK. I retract the question. Since you seem to know a little I guess I can admit that, Yes, he spanked me. Is that your problem? You're afraid that Henry will think that because he spanked you last Friday that he can do it whenever he feels like it? He didn't seem to be that sort of man to me."
Gloria shook her head again. "No, that's not it. I don't know how to ask this but when Father spanked you was it because he was punishing you?"
There was that blush again. She fumbled for words. "Gloria, when a man and a women are married they can, um, do some things that were, um, not proper before."
Gloria stopped her. "Mother, if you're talking about sex I know a little about that. No personal experience but don't forget that I see every movie that comes out. I understand that having sexual intercourse is normal but what about other things?"
The woman took a deep breath. "I guess you're old enough to know. Sex in marriage is much more than intercourse. It's touching and caressing even when you're not in bed. It's very exciting just to be near the one you love and your whole body responds to every word and gesture. Even things that meant something else before can become something brand new."
After a minute Mother probed, "Do you want Henry to spank you again?"
Gloria tried to hide her feelings. "Mother, how can you suggest such a thing? You saw what he did to me at the theater. It hurt as much as the ones I get from you or Father. Why would I want another one?"
The woman reached across the table and took her daughters hand. "Because he's a handsome young man, you are attracted to him, and the thought of being over his lap again is exciting and lastly, because I've been there myself. Yes, Father spanked me and I wanted him to."
Gloria spoke quietly. "Did it hurt as much as when Grandma did it?"
A smile and, "Oh No. It wasn't that kind of spanking. It was just a playful thing."
Feeling rather bold she continued, "He liked having me on his lap and I liked being there. We did that more than a few times. Many times in fact. He never spanked me as punishment for anything but that didn't mean he didn't spank hard. So I go back to my question. Do you want Henry to spank you?"
Gloria's emotions were reeling. This was the first time she ever had this kind of intimate conversation with her mother and the woman seemed to understand what Gloria was struggling with. She looked down and very quietly said, "I think so."
She wanted to clarify herself so she looked up and quickly added, "But not like the other one. I don't want him to really hurt me and he doesn't want that either."
Mother's eyes showed a little surprise but not condemnation. "It sounds like the two of you have already talked about this. Pretty fast work for a couple who've only had one date but given the way you were introduced I can see how the subject came up. So, what do you want to know?"
For the next hour or two mother and daughter had a good conversation. They had the "Now you are a woman" talk a long time ago and a few years later a basic chat regarding "The birds and bees" but those were nothing compared to the one they were having at the table. Both the questions and the answers were honest and induced a number of blushing faces. Some of the subjects were terribly embarrassing for the listener and even more so for the speaker but nothing was held back. By the end of it Gloria had learned many things about her body, a man's body and sex in general including areas that went way beyond traditional intercourse. At the end of it the student gave her mentor a big hug.
But Mother had a bit more to say. "You're pretty much a grown woman and I can't and won't interfere with you in this area. I'll spank your bottom on a moment's notice for most things but not this. Of course, I hope you wait until you are married but you have to decide for yourself if and when you're going to explore some of these feelings with a man. I only pray that you will be careful. Think about your reputation and don't give anything away too easily. You're attracted to Henry but you don't really know him. I can't hold you to this but I can suggest. Go out with him for a while before you decide to let him take any liberties. Now, we better get moving. We have a house to clean."
Another hug and Gloria said, "Thanks Mother. I really didn't expect you to be so understanding. Oops, I mean..."
The woman smiled. "I know what you mean. I just wish my mother had this kind of talk with me. By the way, I think it's better if we don't mention this to your father."
They shared giggles and attacked the housework. Gloria could hardly believe this was the same woman who punished her so soundly a week ago. She felt like she found a new best friend.
Oh, I should clarify one thing Mother said. She made it sound like the playful spankings from Father were only a thing of the past. They weren't.
