Sisters-in-Law: Katie's Turn

Matt, having heard of the altercation between Katie and Megan, wandered the house in search of his girlfriend. He found her crouched outside one of the guest bedrooms, seemingly transfixed by what was occuring inside. Silently, he knelt beside her and whispered “What’s going on?”

Katie nearly jumped out of her skin at the sound of Matt’s voice. With a sly smile she responded “Watching Little Miss Perfect get her butt paddled.”

“What??” Mike whispered unbelievingly. “Your brother is spanking his wife?”

Kaite nodded, eyes glued to the scene unravelling before her. “And he’s doing a damn good job of it too. Here, look.”

When Katie moved to the side, Mike leaned over and realized she could see exactly what was happening in the mirror at the end of the room. He winced as the ruler cracked down against Megan’s reddened bottom and felt his heart constrict with pity as he listened to her sob’s. The spanking continued and after what seemed like an eternity of kneeling there and watching, James stopped.

When the couple stood, Matt and Katie both leaned forward to listen to the conversation. As Matt listened to Megan’s recounting of the scene in the kitchen, he began to feel angrier and angrier with the woman at his side. When Megan tearfully confessed that she didn’t understand Katie’s disdain for her, Matt came to a firm decision in his mind. After James tucked his wife into bed, Matt pulled Katie to her feet and pressed them to the wall behind the door. After James disappeared down the stairs, Katie pushed away from the wall to do a victory dance in the middle of the hall.

Hardly able to believe her behavior, Matt grabbed Katie by the arms and turned her to face him. “Is Megan telling the truth? Did things happen earlier like she said and it was all an accident?”

Oblivious to the tension in Matt’s voice, Katie nodded smugly. “And James automatically believed that she did it on purpose which just proves that she’s not nearly as perfect as she pretends to be.”

“I don’t believe you Katie Lynn,” Matt told her gravely.

Finally realizing that he wasn’t as delighted with this turn of events as she was, Katie frowned up at him. “What’s wrong?” she asked, bewildered.

“What’s wrong? You’re what’s wrong. You let your sister-in-law endure a long and painful spanking over an accident. And you didn’t step in to stop it. You should have told James it was an accident and talked things over with him and Megan. Instead, she’s suffering physically and emotionally now, all because of you.”

Shocked and insulted, Katie tried to pull away but Matt kept a firm grip on her arms. Smiling humorlessly he said, “I think your brother had the right idea. A good old-fashioned spanking might do wonders for your attitude towards your sister-in-law.”

Katie narrowed her eyes. “You wouldn’t,” she hissed angrily.

“I would. And I will.” Matt turned and pulled Katie into the next bedroom, shutting the door firmly behind them.

When Matt let go of her, Katie crossed her arms and stamped a foot petulantly. “Matthew, you can not spank me, I won’t allow it.”

“Guess what honey? You don’t have a choice. I’m going to blister your butt good and proper, then we can talk about your attitude towards Megan.” While he had been talking, Matt had pulled out the straight-backed chair from the desk and now he pulled Katie towards him.
A tremor of panic ran through Katie’s body and she tried to release herself from Matt’s grasp. Seemingly without effort, Matt sat in the chair and pulled her across his knees. With some difficulty, he finally managed to pin her between his knees and he brought his hand down against her denim-clad backside.

The loud *CRACK* and sharp pain caught Katie by surprise. “OUCH! Damn you Matthew, that hurts!” she yelled.

“It’s supposed to hurt and you know you deserve this, so stop screaming and take your spanking like a good girl.” Again Matt’s palm cracked against her bottom and Katie yelped and continued to squirm.

As she lay pinned across his knees, Matt’s comment about knowing she deserved this spanking wriggled itself into her heart and she began to think he had a point. Again and again his hand battered itself against her bottom and Katie realized that she had put Megan through a much worse punishment, for absolutely no reason.

Just as she came to this conclusion, Matt stopped spanking.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, confused.

“Well, since you stopped fighting, I was wondering if you’re ready to accept your spanking now,” he replied calmly.

“But…but…you just spanked me!”

Above her head, Katie heard him chuckle. “That? That was just the start babygirl. Now, I’m going to let you stand up long enough to get rid of these jeans. You’ll never get the spanking you deserve with this much protection. Do you promise to be a good girl and not try to get away if I let you up?”

After a long hesitation, Katie nodded slowly and Matt released her from his grasp and helped her stand. With trembling hands, Katie unsnapped the button to her jeans and unzipped them. She paused and gave Matt a pleading look. When he shook his head, she pouted a bit then hooked her thumbs in the waistband and slowly lowered them to the floor.

“Step out,” Matt instructed and she stepped to the side and kicked the jeans behind her. Now, clad in only a t-shirt and panties, she stood before her judge, jury and executioner, awaiting instruction.

Matt noticed the slight tremors running through her and pulled her to sit on his lap. Gently, he rocked her and held her, waiting for her to calm.

Surprised that she was sitting on his lap and not laying over it, Katie peered up at Matt from under her lashes. “A–aren’t you going to…” she couldn’t bring herself to say “spank me” but Matt seemed to know what she meant.

“Yea, I’m still going to spank you. I just wanted you to realize that I do care about you and I’m not going to hurt you. You know that right?”

Katie replied sulkily, “But spankings hurt…”

Matt chuckled. “Yes, spankings hurt. But they also help, so they don’t count.”

Katie sighed and relaxed in his embrace. After a few moments, she whispered, “I’m, ah…ready for my spanking now.”

Matt gave her a quick squeeze before letting her stand. Katie took a deep breath and slowly lowered herself over Matt’s lap. After a bit of situating to get them both comfortable, Matt tugged Katie’s panties down to her thighs, exposing her pinkened bottom.

Katie’s breathing was quick and shallow as she waited for the first blow to land on her now bare bottom. *SMACK* Katie yelped at the sting of Mike’s hand connecting with her skin. He continued to spank hard and fast, covering her bottom until she felt that her skin must be on fire. She began to wriggle in earnest as the pain built, spank after spank. No matter how much she told herself she deserved this, she wanted it to end soon.

Mike continued to spank as Katie’s pink bottom changed to a bright red all over. When he stopped, her bottom looked as though it was on fire and was warm to the touch. Still, Matt felt that he wasn’t finished.

Katie was sniffling a bit, but nowhere near the sobbing mess that her sister-in-law had been by the end of her spanking. She was almost surprised that Matt had finished spanking her, but she wasn’t going to urge him to continue! At Matt’s instruction, she stood but when she reached for her panties, he stopped her.

“We’re not done, baby,” he told her gently.

Katie’s eyes welled with tears. “But Matt…what are you going to do?”

Matt walked over to the bed and piled the two pillows in the middle. “I want you to lay over these pillows, so that that support your hips.”

Katie bit her lower lip as she eyed the bed. After a brief hesitation, she positioned herself as Matt instructed. When she saw him reach for his belt buckle, Katie’s eyes widened with fear.

“Matt, please don’t whip me!” she pleaded tearfully. “I promise I’ll be good, I’ll apologize to Megan and James just…please don’t!”

Matt spoke firmly. “Katie Lynn, I’m going to strap you good and proper. Then you can make the apologies you seem so keen on making. But right now, you have a lesson to learn.”

Just then, the door to the bedroom burst open and Megan ran in, with James close behind.

“Matt, no!” Megan cried.

“Megan, come on baby, this is between Matt and Katie,” James spoke softly and gathered his wife in his arms.

Matt looked at Katie who was staring at Megan and James in shock, then back at the intruding couple. “Megan…James is right. This is between Katie and I. Just as your discipline should have been between you and James.”

“But…wait, should have been?” Megan asked in confusion.

“Yes, should have been. Care to explain, Katie?”Katie couldn’t believe how embarassed she was. Not only was she half naked, about to get a whipping from her boyfriend, he was making her explain to her brother and sister-in-law why she was being punished.

“I…ah…I mean…OUCH!!” Katie called out as Matt snapped the belt against her skin. “I watched you spank Megan!”

James and Megan stared at her, shocked. “What else?” Matt demanded, with another snap of the belt.

“Owwww…I knew it was an accident. I’m so sorry Megan. I should have said something and you wouldn’t have been punished. That’s why Matt’s spanking me.”

Megan and James looked at each other then back at Katie.

“Why?” Megan whispered tearfully. “Why do you hate me so much? I just wanted–” she ended on a choked sob and James pulled her closer.

“Matt, we’re going to leave you to your business here. Afterwards, I’d like for the four of us to sit down and have a discussion about this.” James turned and ushered his wife out of the room.

Sisters-in-Law

Megan bit her lower lip as her husband pulled up in front of his parents’ house. She’d only met James’ family a few times before this and this was the first time the whole family would be together at one time.

James’ voice cut through her worrying. “Please try not to start anything with Katie today.”

Megan whipped her head around and stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean? I have tried so hard to be friends with her. She has just been awful to me!”

James sighed. “She’s just having a hard time adjusting to me being married. Promise me you’ll be nice and if you can’t, just stay out of her way.”

Megan huffed and stared out the window.

“Megan, look at me.”

The warning tone in James’ voice had her turning her head to face him. James leaned over and pressed a light kiss to her lips.

“I love you Meg, you know that. And I know that Katie can be difficult. But I love her too and I won’t be caught in the middle of you two. So try for me, ok?”

A reluctant smile tugged on Megan’s lips and she nodded in agreement.

Katie glared out the window as her brother jogged around the side of the car to open the door for his wife. How her brother had ended up with someone so superficial and shallow, Katie couldn’t figure out. When Megan stepped out of the car, Katie shook her head.

“What are you staring at?” a deep voice asked from behind her.

Katie spun around and grinned when she spotted Matthew, her boyfriend of almost a year. “I was just checking out the new addition to the family. Can you believe she wore a dress to a picnic? I swear if she ever got dirty she’d have a heart attack or something,” Katie chuckled.

Matt frowned. “I don’t think you’ve given her a fair chance, Katie. What did she do to make you dislike her so much?”

Katie rolled her eyes. “She didn’t do anything. She’s just so prim and proper. She doesn’t fit in with the rest of us.”

Matt sighed at the petulant tone in her voice. “Try to be nicer to her, ok? I’m sure she’s nervous enough about meeting being around so many new people all at once as it is, she doesn’t need you pecking at her.”

Eyes wide with playful shock, Katie replied “I’m always nice, Matthew. I have no idea what you mean.”

Matt laughed and pulled her in for a hug and lengthy kiss. “I love your sense of humor Kat…but please be nice.”
* * * * * * * * * *
Megan began to relax as the day played out. James’ family was so warm and accepting, she couldn’t remember what she’d been nervous about in the first place. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted the petite figure of Katie coming towards her and she tensed again. Right, she thought to herself, This is why I was so nervous this morning.

Katie sat on the bench next to her sister-in-law and stretched her legs out. “Enjoying the party Meggy?”

Megan relaxed a fraction. “Yes, thank you. Your family is absolutely wonderful… you’re very lucky to have them.”

For a second, Katie thought she caught a sense of wistfulness in Megan’s voice but shrugged it off. “We’re thinking of getting a volleyball game going later…but I bet you wouldn’t be interested. Might get your dress dirty,” she sneered.

Megan ground her teeth against a scathing reply as James’ warning to “be nice” played over and over again in her head. “Actually, James mentioned that you all often play a few games when you all get together. So I brought a change of clothes,” she replied sweetly.

Annoyed that her jibe seemed to have fallen short of the mark, Katie levered herself off the bench and stomped away.

Seeing his sister storming away, James broke away from the group of young cousins he was entertaining and made his way over to his wife. When he sat down and draped an arm around her shoulders, he was surprised by the tension he felt. Frowning, he asked, “What happened Megs? I saw Katie storm off…did you have an argument?”

To Megan, James’ words simply poured salt into her wounded emotions. “Somehow, I just knew you were going to jump all over me. I did not say a damn thing to her,” she hissed. “You want to know what happened? Ask your beloved sister.” Fighting back tears, Megan jumped up and walked stiffly towards the house.

James was still sitting there, baffled by the exchange when he heard the scream. Panicked, he raced to the back door and into the kitchen.

The scene that met his eyes might have been comical, if tensions weren’t already so high in the house. His sister was standing in the middle of the floor, her shirt and jeans covered in what appeared to be coleslaw. His wife was standing off to the side, eyes widened in horrified shock, both hands clamped over her mouth.

“Katie….what happened?”

It was a moment before Katie found the voice to answer. “Your…wife,” she snarled.

James turned to stare at Megan who seemed unable to speak. “Megan?” he asked, shocked. His wife was always very ladylike…until she was rattled, he remembered clearly. With no explanation forthcoming, James grabbed Megan’s hand and began leading her up the stairs.

Megan still couldn’t seem to speak. She was afraid if she did, the laughter she felt building in her chest would simply burst out and embarrass everyone. Personally, she felt that Katie had finally gotten what she deserved, even if it had been an accident. She’d had every intention of locking herself in the bathroom for a few minutes to calm down, but when she had flung the back door open, Katie had been on her way out with a rather large bowl of coleslaw. The scream that James had heard was Katie’s scream of alarm as the bowl had been knocked back, dumping the contents down her front.

James found his old bedroom, now a guestroom and pulled Megan inside. He pushed the door closed, but it didn’t quite shut in place and hung open a few inches. Angrily, he rounded on his wife.

“What the hell got into you Megan? I know Katie’s been difficult, but to dump food on someone….don’t you think that’s a bit childish young lady?”

The humor fled as James’ words struck home. For a minute all Megan could do was stare in disbelief before stammering, “You…you think I…did that on purpose?”

James shook his head furiously. “What am I supposed to believe? I see you and Katie talking, her stomping off, then when I try to talk to you about it you snap at me and storm off and the next thing I know, she’s covered in coleslaw. You tell me what I’m supposed to think.”

Fury lit Megan’s eyes. “You’re supposed to think that I wouldn’t do such a thing intentionally. Did it ever occur to you that it was an accident?”

“Was it?” James demanded.

Tearfully, Megan replied, “Believe whatever you want, I don’t care. I’m not telling you one way or the other.”

“Fine,” James replied. “If you won’t tell me it was an accident, I have to believe it wasn’t.” With that declaration, James pulled the straight backed chair out from his old desk and sat, pulling Megan over his lap. Foregoing any more lecturing, he flipped her sundress up and began spanking her panty clad bottom, fast and furious.

Megan squealed and began fighting her way off James’ lap. She couldn’t believe he was spanking her for something that was entirely not her fault! The hurt and indignation built as each spank fell, building the fire in her bottom. Suddenly, the spanking stopped and Megan started to push herself up, only to find that she was still pinned in place by his arm.

James reached over and opened the drawer in his desk. Rooting around a bit, he found an old wooden ruler and pulled it out. Locking his right leg over Megan’s legs, he tilted her forward over his left leg and pulled her panties down, baring her pinkened bottom.

“James! I didn’t do anything, I swear!” Megan pleaded.

“I wish I could believe you baby, but you had your chance to explain yourself before this spanking started.” James lifted his arm and brought the ruler down with a *SNAP* against her bare skin.

Megan cried out at the first bite of the ruler. James had never spanked her with anything other than his hand and she was unprepared for the sting and burn of the little wooden stick. Tipped forward as she was, she didn’t have any choice other than keep her hand on the floor to keep her balance and take the spanking. James continued to spank at a fast pace, the wooden ruler biting into her bare bottom again and again and again. When it seemed he would never stop and the pain seemed unbearable, Megan lay over James’ lap, limp and sobbing.

Feeling the tension leave his wife’s body, James stopped spanking and dropped the ruler on the floor. He kept her there until her sobs quieted, rubbing her now bright red bottom. When she seemed to have calmed, James helped her to her feet. Taking her chin, he lifted her tear filled gaze to his eyes. “Now. Are you going to tell me what happened?” he asked gently. Megan nodded weakly before taking a deep breath and shakily telling him what happened.

When she finished her tale, Megan looked up to see James frowning down at her. “Megs…why didn’t you just tell me it was an accident baby? I wouldn’t have spanked you at all if you had.”
Megan began sobbing again. Alarmed, James gathered her into his arms and rocked her gently, stroking her hair until she calmed once more.

“I didn’t tell you because…I just thought you’d already taken her side. I don’t understand why she hates me so much, James! I haven’t done anything to her! I’m doing my best to fit into your family…” Tears fell silently from Megan’s eyes as she clung to her husband.

“Oh baby…I’m so sorry. I know how badly you want to be a part of a family. I promise I’ll talk to Katie about this, maybe explain where you’re coming from and see if that helps at all. Right now…why don’t you take a nap sweetheart?”

Megan nodded sorrowfully and James led her to the bed and tucked her in. When he pressed a kiss to her forehead, she had already fallen deeply asleep.

As James left the room, he didn’t notice the two figures pressed against the wall, trying to stay out of sight.
