"What is this?" Lance asked holding up a pipe and a little bag of marijuana.
"Um," I said blushing a bit. I had forgotten about that stuff when Lance said he would help me pack my things to move in with him. "Just a bit of pot."
I reached for the items Lance frowned and held them out of my reach.
"I did not know you did drugs?" Lance said still frowning at me. "Were you going to tell me or just assume I would be OK with you bringing drugs into the house?"
"God, Lance" I said in frustration. "It is not DRUGS it is a pipe and a little pot. I am not a _f_u_c_k_ing drug addict I just smoke a little pot now and then. Don't blow this so out of _f_u_c_k_ing proportion."
"Watch your language." Lance said sternly. "And don't tell me it is just a little pot. It is an illegal subsistence and I will not have you smoking it."
"Lance, please it really is no big deal and I am sorry I swore at you I just thinking you are getting upset over nothing." I said trying to sound contrite.
Lance sighed and sat on my bed and motioned me over. I went slowly thinking he was going to spank me for swearing at him and the pot.
"Cody," Lance said pulling me into his lap. "I do not approve of you doing any type of drugs I do not care if it is just a little pot. This stuff messes with your mind. I want you to be strong and health both physically and mentally. So please promise me you will not do this stuff or any other drug ever again."
"I promise." I said resting my head on his shoulder. "I did not do it that often anyway. That stuff is a few months old. Just go ahead and throw it all away."
"Thank you." Lance said and kissed my forehead.
The rest of the move went very smoothly and it only took like a week to get my stuff unpacked. It was weird to look at his house and see my stuff scattered here and there. It was amazing how easy it was to combine my life with someone else. I had always had a fear of commitment but with Lance it had just seemed natural to decide to spend my life with him. I never would have thought that I would find someone to love as deeply as I loved Lance.
"Hey Cody," Brad said. "What are you up too?"
"I was cleaning the bathroom." I said somewhat out of breath. I had forgotten where I had laid the phone and had run around looking all over for it. "What are you doing?"
"Looking for a good time. Can you come out and play?" Brad asked.
"Maybe." I said and smiled. Brad was such a dork sometimes but one of my best friends. "I will have to call Lance and see what he has planned but I think he was going to work late anyway tonight."
"You do that and I will head over anyway. If you can't come out maybe we could watch some videos or something." Brad said.
"That would be cool. See you when you get here."
"He stud." I said into the phone when Lance answered.
"Hey Lover," Lance said and I could hear the smile in his voice. "What did you do?"
"What do you mean what did I do? I have been good all day I even cleaned the bathroom and mopped the floors." I said with a bit of a pout.
"Uhuh, well love the tone of your voice says you either did something or want something so what do you want?" Lance said and I could still hear the smile in his voice.
"Maybe I just wanted to call and tell you I love you. Ever think of that?"
"Love you too. Now what is it that you want little one?"
"To go out fir awhile?"
"With who?"
"Um," I said stalling a bit. Brad was not his favorite person. For some reason I always ended up in trouble with him. "Brad."
"No." Lance said.
"But,"
"Cody I already told you I do not like you going out with him. Maybe someday when you prove you can be together and not get into trouble then you can."
"That is soooooooooooo not fair." I whined into the phone.
"Cody." Lance said and I knew I was pushing it to far.
"Fine do I have your permission to stay here and watch movies with him?" I asked sarcastically.
"If I do not hear a lot less attitude in the next few moments the only thing you are going to have permission to do is write 500 times I will not whine when I do not get my way." Lance said sternly.
"Sorry." I said immediately. I hate lines. "Can he come over and watch movies, please?"
"Alright but please remember the house rules OK. I know that you guys do not mean to always get in trouble but you too together without supervision is a scary thing sometimes." Lance laughed a little on the last part.
"I know." I said. "I promise we will be good and just watch a couple of movies."
"Fine I should be home around eight. I Love you half-pint."
I smiled and told him I loved him too even if he could be an over bearing brute. He just laughed and hung up.
"So can you go out?" Brad asked walking into the kitchen.
"No my Lord and Master says we cause too much trouble together and should just stay here and watch movies." I said with a pout.
"Well I know he was not to thrilled last time we went out. He was not to happy at being called at 2:00am from you asking to come help us get the car out of the pound." Brad laughed.
"Well down town is a hard place to park in how were we to know that place was a tow away zone I did not see any signs." I said frowning at the memory then smiling a bit it had been a bit funny when he found out where I was. Well not later when we had a long talk about responsibility but the look on his face when he walked into the pound was a bit funny.
"Yeah well I am guessing he did not buy that." Brad said smiling.
"No he did not. Nor was he too happy that time he had to come to the mall and get us because you had got in a fight with that stupid security guard and decided to moon him. Or........"
"ok ok ok," Brad said holding up his hands. "I get it; we get into to trouble together. So what do you have to watch anyway?"
"Let's watch the new House on Haunted Hill. I love that movie." I suggested.
"Sounds good to me you got an popcorn?"
"Of course." I said smiling.
We made popcorn with extra butter and settle in front of the TV.
"Now what?" I asked stretching and looking at the clock. "Lance still will not be home for another couple of hours."
"How about a couple of hits of this?" Brad asked pulling a joint out of his shirt pocket.
"I can't." I said pouting. "I promised Lance I would not do that stuff any more."
"Aw come on Cody. It's not like he will know. We'll go out back and by the time he get's home you will be fine. Come on I don't wanna do it alone. Pleassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeee." Brad whined.
"Oh alright. Just stop whining at me." I sighed.
I forgot how good pot made me feel. I feel all light and happy. Then I get all hungry and eat everything in sight and I laugh at everything.
"What are you too doing?" Lance asked from the doorway as we laid on the floor laughing. "And what happened to all the food? Look at this mess. What has gotten into you two?"
"Lancccceeeee." I said standing and stumbling towards him. I gave him a big hug and kiss.
"Have you been drinking?" He demanded looking at me.
"Nope cross my heart and hope to die." I said giggling.
"Stick a thousand needles in my eye." Brad said cracking up.
"Then what is wrong with you?" Lance asked looking around.
"Nothing. We are just happy and were a bit hungry." I said still laughing and hanging onto him.
"Right." Lance said looking at me closely.
"Look for yourself, there are no bottles of booze anywhere." Brad said standing up and swaying a bit.
Lance looked around the room and then set me down and went to the kitchen. Where Brad had stupidly left the half smoked joint laying on a small plate.
"CODY DAWSON," Lance yelled. "GET YOUR LITTLE BUTT IN HERE NOW"
That sobered me up enough to gulp and look at Brad. I went to the kitchen and saw Lance holding the plate with the joint in it and almost died on the spot. I was in so much trouble.
"Care to tell me about this?" Lance asked in a tight voice.
"Um well see we were a little board and Brad asked if I wanted a couple of hits and I um said no but then he talked me into it and I am so sorry." I finished lamely looking at the floor.
"Not as sorry as you are going to be. Get up stairs and get ready for bed. I am not about to have this discussion while you are high." Lance said pushing me towards the door.
"What about Brad?" I asked nervously.
"I am going to get him settled on the couch he can not possible drive in this condition. Now go." Lance said and swatted me.
I had sobered up enough to realize I was in very big trouble. I was worried that Lance was going to hate me now and I began to cry.
"Hey you." Lance said getting into bed with me. "What is with the tears I have not given you anything to cry about yet?"
I rolled over into his arms.
"Do you hate me?" I asked in s small voice.
"Cody baby I could never hate you. I am very disappointed in you and you are in a lot of trouble, but no matter what I love you. You got that little boy?" Lance asked and kissed my forehead.
"Yes sir." I said snuggling up to him. "I am sorry."
"We will talk about it latter now get some sleep." Lance said hugging me tightly.
I awoke to the sounds of voices in the kitchen so I snuck downstairs to listen.
"Listen to me and listen to me well young man. You had better never bring drugs into my house again and if I ever hear that you "talked" Cody into doing them again you will never be allowed around Cody again. Do you understand me?" Lance was lecturing Brad.
"Yes sir, I am sorry." Brad said softly.
"As you should be. I am very disappointed in both of you. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about you other than to tell you that Cody will not be allowed to see you if you continue with this behavior around him." Lance said.
"You could punish me like you would Cody if that would help?" Brad said with tears in his eyes.
Lance sighed and looked at Brad then sat down next to him.
"No I can not. I am not your SO. Brad I think you need to settle down and I know you need a top but I cannot be that for you. Cody is my concern and the only boy in my life that I will ever discipline. I like you kiddo I really do but it is not my place to discipline you. Now why don't you head home and get some rest. By the way Cody will not be available for a long time." Lance said standing up and patting him on the back.
"Yes sir." Brad said and got up to leave.
He looked so miserable as if he was the one about to be paddled and grounded forever. I felt sorry for him then. I crept back to my bed and lay there thinking about how lucky I was. I had someone to take care of me and look out for me. Sure I did not always enjoy our relationship and I hated all the rules but at least I was loved and cared for. The spankings sucked but they did make me a more responsible person. I realized just how lucky I was.
"I see you are awake." Lance said sitting down on the bed beside me.
"Yes I am." I said sitting up. "I love you; you know that right."
"Yes I know that." Lance said looking at me suspiciously. "That is not going to save your little butt, Cody."
"I know," I said sighing. "I am not trying to save my little butt. I know I am in big trouble but I wanted you to know I love you and lucky to have you."
Lance smiled and pulled me into a hug.
"I am lucky for you too half-pint. Now get dressed because we have some very serious things to go over."
"Yes sir."
"I will be in the living room waiting for you."
I sort of dragged my feet now that the punishment was at hand I was really dreading it. I hated being spanked and I knew I was in for a lot more than just a spanking. I wished with all my heart I had just said no last night.
"Do we need to go over what you did wrong and the promises you broke?" Lance asked after I was settled on the couch and he was towering over me.
"No sir I know why we are here." I said looking at the carpet.
"Good. I am very disappointed in you Cody you broke a promise to me. I know you feel that pot is not a big deal but you promised me you would not do it and it is a big deal to me. I am now going to make it a big deal to you. If I ever see or hear of you doing any illegal drug again this punishment will seem like a walk in the park do you understand me?" Lance asked looking at me sternly.
"Yes sir."
"Fine. You are grounded for a month, don't even start to protest or I will make it two. During that time you will go to work and come straight home. You are also going to write me a report on the pros and cons of marijuana, tomorrow we will go to the library and see if we can find some books on that. You will also be going to bed at 8:00pm every night of your grounding and doing an hour of corner time every night to think about why you should keep your promises not only to me but also to anyone you make them too. After your paddling today you are going to write 1000 I will never do drugs again. Any questions?" Lance asked giving me a look that said I should just say "yes sir" and nothing else.
"Yes sir." I said wincing at the punishment I was to get. This was going to be a long month.
"Ok then lets get your spanking over with." Lance said pulling me up and then over his lap. It was then that I noticed the hairbrush on the coffee table.
SMACK
Lance started with his hand and just went on and on forever. My poor butt was on fire before he ever even picked up the brush.
"Please Lance." I sobbed as he reached for the brush. "Don't use that. I know I was wrong it won't happen again please just don't use the brush."
"Sorry little boy but you are getting the brush." Lance said and brought the brush down hard on my poor hot bottom.
"Lancccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeee." I screamed in pain. "That hurrttttttttttttttssssssssssss SOB."
"I know kiddo, I mean it."
WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK WHACK
"ow oh ow oh stop I'll be goooooood ow ohohohoho owowowowow pleasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee stooooooooooooooppppppppppppppppppppppp." I wailed in absolute misery.
Finally after an eternity he did stop though I did not realize that for a good long while.
"Shhhhh come on babe it is over breath shhhhhhh come on calm down." Lance kept saying over and over as he rubbed my back.
I finally calmed down and he stood me up. Then he gave me a hug and held me for a little while.
"I hope you think of this every time you think of doing drugs again." Lance said holding me at arms length.
"I will." I sobbed.
"Good." Lane said guiding me to a chair. "Now sit down and let's get these lines over with."
"Please let me stand." I begged.
"Nope sorry kiddo you are sitting on that sore bottom to do this." Lance said sitting me down.
I started crying again but started the lines. It took me almost 6 hours to get the lines done to his satisfaction. Then he sent me to bed for a nap before dinner. I was still sniffling. My bottom was still on fire from the spanking and the sitting did not help at all.
"Hey cutie come on wake up." Lance was saying as he stroked my hair and face.
"Wanna sleep." I said turning my head away.
"Sorry babe but you have to get up. Remember you are going to bed at 8:00pm tonight. Come on get up." Lance said as he tugged on my arm.
We had a light dinner I did an hour of corner time then got ready for bed. I walked into the living room where Lance sat reading and I walked over to him and curled up in his lap.
"Are you still mad at me?" I asked with tears in my eyes.
"No," Lance said hugging me tight. "I am still a bit disappointed in you but I will get over it. Just try thinking a little bit before you act OK?"
"I will. I am sorry I did this."
"I know. I love you Cody; nothing will change that. Now go on up to bed." Lance kissed my forehead.
I lay awake for a while listening to him move around and thinking. I felt bad about breaking my promise and smoking pot. I was happy he forgave me but upset about being grounded for so long. I did still feel lucky as I thought of Brad being all-alone tonight. I may have a sore bottom and a month of grounding but I was lucky enough to have someone care about me enough to give me a sore bottom and I would be forever grateful for that. When Lance finally came to bed I snuggled up close to him. I wanted him to know that I did not hold this punishment against him. That no matter what I would always love him too.
