Matthew was sobbing in the corner. He had just been spanked by Rolf for smarting off. His mouth and _c_o_c_k_y attitude always got him in trouble. He could just never learn when enough was enough. He knew he deserved it when Rolf punished him, but all the same, he hated it. Being put over the knee with your pants down is always humiliating and very painful. Standing in the corner just adds to it. He knew he was going to be standing here a while. As he settled down, he thought back to when he first met Rolf, and the first spanking that he had received at Rolf's hands.
In 1995 Matthew was in his sophomore year at college. He had a wonderful roommate, Bryan, whom he shared everything with. Both were having a great time in school. They partied more than they studied and were barely hanging on with C averages. Both sets of their parents lived across the country, so they didn't have much supervision. This suited them just fine. Bryan was by far the larger of the two boys. He played football, and Matthew loved to watch. Matt didn't play any sports for the college, but you could always find him involved in any pickup games that got started. Matthew absolutely loved Bryan, and felt lost whenever Bryan wasn't with him. That love is what put Matthew adrift.
September 15, 1995 is a day that will forever haunt Matthew. Bryan was playing in the opening football game of the season. Matthew was in the stands, cheering for all he was worth. Their team was on offense. Bryan went out for a long pass, and as soon as he caught it, the opposing player's helmet thudded into him. Bryan landed on his head, instantly breaking his neck in the freak accident. He was dead before his feet hit the ground. Matthew was absolutely heartbroken. His family came for the funeral and tried to comfort Matthew as much as they could. They knew the boys had been like brothers, but what they didn't know was that they were also lovers. Matthew lost the guidance in his life and his will to do much of anything. He dropped out of college that semester, unable to face the room and all of the memories that were left of Bryan. He got a cheap apartment and a job as a bartender to help pay the bills.
One day in late October, Rolf went to the local restaurant to meet up with his friends Stephen and Joseph. Rolf was early, so he decided to get a drink at the bar. Rolf saw the cutest young man he had seen in a long time. The bartender was 5'6", ruffled blond hair, green eyes. He had a pretty good shape on him, and the most beautiful bubble butt he could imagine. He asked for a drink, and watched as the bartender walked away to get it. When he returned, Rolf noticed that the guy's name was Matthew. He filed that away for later reference and continued to watch him for the next few minutes. Soon his friends had arrived and they moved into the restaurant to eat. Rolf could not keep from thinking about Matthew. The next week, he got Joseph to meet him at the bar again. Rolf got there about 30 minutes early, and to his delight, Matthew was working. Rolf ordered his drink, and since it wasn't busy yet, tried to interest Matthew in some conversation. Matthew was short with Rolf, and soon left to clean some of the bar. Rolf tried over the next several weeks to get Matthew to talk. He couldn't even get him to smile. He knew that there was something big that was troubling Matt, but he couldn't get anything from him.
Finally, Rolf wore him down. Rolf and his friends were going to the lake this weekend, and they had an extra bed. Thanks to all of Rolf's talking, Matthew knew all of the friend's names, and a little about them. He had no bells and whistles going off about any trouble, and he probably wouldn't have listened even if he did. He was still unconcerned about his life. Matthew thought that maybe a weekend in the woods, with a long walk alone, would be just what he needed. He said yes, and was picked up by Rolf on Friday morning.
Matt got along well with Todd and the other boys. They seemed to separate into their age groups, even though Matt had come with them upon Rolf's urging. Matt, Todd, Michael and Christopher were playing football, while Rolf, Stephen, Joseph and Eric began meal preparations. Stephen yelled at them a couple of times to quit throwing the ball so close to the table, but the boys didn't listen as usual. Todd threw the ball to Michael, but instead of hitting Michael, it sailed onto the table, knocking off several beers and some food. Stephen told Todd to go to the cabin, and then followed him in. Michael and Christopher became a little quiet, but with Matt's urging, began to play again. Matt didn't think too much about Todd and Stephen. About thirty minutes later, dinner was ready and they all sat down, all that is, except Todd. Matthew was in his own world, and didn't pay much attention to that fact. About an hour later, Todd reappeared. Matthew tried to get Todd interested in a game of football again, but Todd was not in the mood. All of a sudden, a light bulb went off in Matthew's head. Todd had been spanked! He was sure of it. He was quiet, walked gingerly, and his eyes were bloodshot. Matthew thought about this information for a while. When he walked past Todd, Matthew slapped him hard, right across the butt. "D. a.m. n it man, why the h. e.l. l. did you do that?" yelled Todd. Matthew just snapped. He lost it. He jumped on Todd, knocking him to the ground, trying to beat the crap out of him. Matthew was remembering the day before Bryan died. Matthew had come home late, very late. Bryan had stayed up, worrying about him. Bryan had never spanked Matthew before, but he did that night. Matthew was shocked, but it cemented their relationship even more, because Matthew was so happy, knowing that Bryan cared about him that much. Todd's spanking brought back all of Matthew's pain, fresh and raw as it was the day Bryan died.
Matthew felt himself being hoisted upright by his waistband. His arm was wrenched behind his back and he was pushed towards the cabin. He was bucking and cursing for all he was worth, and Rolf had a hard time controlling him. Rolf knew that this was an important moment in their lives. He was excited about spanking Matthew, because fighting was not tolerated, but he also knew that this could make or break a possible relationship with Matthew if it was not handled correctly. Rolf knew that Matthew's anger stemmed not from Todd, or what he said, but from something deep inside Matthew that had been bothering him since they met.
Rolf knew that no talking was necessary now. He wrestled Matthew into the cabin. Matt broke loose when they entered and he threw a roundhouse punch that just about knocked Rolf over. Rolf quickly recovered and wrestled Matthew over to the bed, pulling him over his knees and locking him into place, legs locked down, arm behind his back. He starting spanking Matthew as hard and as fast as he could. Matthew continued to curse, fighting for all he was worth, but Rolf was just too big, and in too good of a position to allow for much movement on Matt's part. Matthew was in so much pain, not from the actual spanking, but from his raw emotion. Rolf felt the fight begin to leave Matt, and loosened his hold on him. As soon as Matthew felt that loosening, he bucked off of Rolf's lap. Matthew was quick, but not quick enough. Just as he made it to his feet, Matthew felt Rolf's hands at his waist, and before he knew it, his shorts and underwear were dragged down roughly to his knees. Matt turned to take a swing at Rolf. A little voice in the back of Matt's head was telling him not to even try to fight this man. The 6'8" frame towered over Matt, and the muscles on this man were very well defined. But Matthew was focused only on his pain and anger over Bryan's death. He could care less whether Rolf knocked him senseless. But instead of finding himself on his back, Rolf caught Matt's punch, bent him over by forcing up the arm, and easily picked Matthew up from the waist. Rolf quickly sat back down on the bed and starting spanking Matthew again. The spanks rained down fast, quickly turning Matthew's bottom rosy red. Matthew continued to fight, yell, curse. Rolf stopped spanking and said "Matthew, we're here for the long haul. I'm going to keep spanking until you settle down and quit fighting me. It's your choice." Rolf continued spanking, and Matthew continued to curse. Rolf kept it up for what seemed like hours. Matthew's fussing became cries, long heaving cries. When Rolf thought that Matthew was punished enough, he gathered him in his arms, and let Matthew cry it all out. Stephen and Todd were supposed to sleep in the same cabin as Rolf and Matthew, but they knew what Rolf was doing, and decided to join the other guys so that Rolf and Matt had their privacy. Matthew and Rolf both cried a lot that night, as Matthew's story unfolded, his pain laid out in intimate detail.
That weekend, two souls became joined as one. Rolf helped Matthew begin the healing process, start his life anew. Matthew found the loving guidance he needed to succeed.
Matthew cried a few more tears for Bryan, and after about thirty more minutes he was released from his corner. He walked gingerly over to Rolf and gave him a big hug.
