I left the precinct and got back in my squad car. Back out on patrol I steamed and stewed over what Josh had done. How could he possibly think he would get away with cutting class? I asked myself.
I drove around the city on my appointed rounds for the rest of my shift. I returned to the precinct, this time pulling my squad car into the garage. I get out of the car and sign out on the sheet, marking the mileage on the odometer. I head into the squad room and to my pleasant surprise I find Josh sitting at my desk working diligently. "How's the homework going Josh?" I ask. "Pretty good. Time to go home?" He asks. "Yep. Let's go." He pushes back and I help him to stand up. I carry his books out to my car and put them in the back seat.
I help him into the front seat and we head for home. We're talking and laughing and all of a sudden Josh get's serious. "I really am sorry you had to come to the school twice to get me. I should have called and told you I got detention. Please forgive me Steve."
I look over at him and I swear he's about to start crying. "I forgive you Josh." I pause, "but you've left me little room for maneuvering. I have to punish you." About this time I turn into the apartment complex. I park and help Josh out of the car. When we get into the apartment I say, "go to your room Josh until I call you for dinner." He heads off, his head down and I can almost hear him crying. I go about making dinner and when it's ready I call, "Josh dinner is ready."
Within seconds I hear him coming. He emerges from the short hallway and takes his seat. I set the table and serve Josh. I then sit down. We eat in silence but finally Josh looks up. I can tell the boy has been crying and he says, "Please Steve. I really am sorry."
"I know Josh but I have to punish you." I say. He pushes his half eaten dinner away. "In that case Josh you can go back to your room and wait for me." He gets up and walks slowly turning back to plead with his eyes. "No Josh." Is all I say. I finish eating my dinner, frankly I wasn't all that hungry either. I clear the table and then head for Josh's room. I knock and then open the door. He is sitting on his bed. "It's time Josh. Stand up." He stands and I go to him and sit down. I position him directly in front of me and I undo the button on his pants. I lower the zipper and push them down off his bottom.
I reach down and take off his shoes and socks. Tonight was bath night so he would be getting one as soon as his whipping was over. With his shoes and socks off and his pants around his ankles I could easily pull the pants off. I took Josh's crutches away from him and sat him on my knee. He took his own shirt off and was now wearing only his underwear. "Josh why did you skip those classes?" I asked him as I rubbed his back trying to comfort him. "I don't know. I just wanted to do something else for those two hours."
"Well Josh that was a pretty dumb thing to do. Now you are going to get the whipping of your life and I'm inclined to give you another one tomorrow after dinner as well." I said grimly.
The boy instantly started to sob and plead with me not to whip him twice. "We'll see Josh." Was all I said to him regarding a second whipping. I turned Josh over my knee and laid my hand on his already red and bruised bottom. I lifted my palm and began SPANK...SPANK...SPANK... letting each stroke land and settle for a few seconds before administering another one. SPANK SPANK SPANK I continued and Josh just wept. I was quite sure that his bottom felt like red hot fire.
After ten minutes or so I stopped and lifted him from my lap. Laying him on his bed I removed my belt and doubled it over. Josh looked up and saw the belt and his face fell. "Please no." He cried. I ignored him and started whipping him with the belt. THWACK THWACK THWACK I used the belt with precision kissing every part of his bottom including the very sensitive spot between the two cheeks of his buttocks. I used the belt on him for fifteen minutes. When I was through I was sure Josh had completely learned his lesson and he was going to be learning it double for the entire time he was sitting on the hard seat in detention too. I decided that a second whipping would not be necessary.
After Josh's punishment was over I let him lay on his bed while I ran a warm bath. When it was ready I went and picked him up gently and took him to the bath. I let him play in the water for a few minutes before getting serious with him. "Ok Josh play time's over and we need to get you cleaned up."
Much to my amazement Josh was cooperative and began to wash what he could. I sat back and watched and waited. "Steve could you help me." He finally asked. "Sure Josh what can I do?" I asked. "Do my back and bottom please."
I get up off my seat and go over to the tub. I help Josh turn over in the tub and I say, "stick your butt up Josh." He pushes up and I wash it. Then I wash his back and rinse it off. "Ok time to get you out of the tub." He amazes me again and doesn't balk.
I pluck Josh from the tub and carry him over my shoulder in a towel to his bedroom. I dried him off and he asks, "do I have to put clothes on for the night?"
"Well not until you go to bed and at that point only a diaper." Josh nods and I pick his naked body up and carry him out to the living room. I sit down with him on my lap and we watch TV until it's time for bed. I carry Josh to the bathroom and he goes and washes up and brushes his teeth. I clean him and take him to his bedroom laying him on his back and go to get a diaper. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Josh asks.
"Why would you want to do that Josh?" I ask him. He shrugs. "Well I get up before you have to get up for school. What do you think now? I say thinking it will discourage him. "I don't care." He says. "Ok then." I finish putting the diaper on him and carry him out to the sofa bed and I lay him down and say, "I'll be back." I go and get ready myself and come back. I pick him up and lay him on top of me after I lay down. "See you in the morning Josh." I say and kiss him on top of his head.
