A Firm Hand

A smirk appears
when he announces
"corrective action"

She was out a little too late
and her whereabouts concealed

She is in that sleepy state
stomach flat to the mattress

His hand smoothing the cotton
in a pleasing caress

He delicately pulls them down
still rubbing her bottom

"I got carried away," she admits
as his finger scrolls along the parting

The twinge of anticipation
filters through the silent room

He delivers a firm smack
and she raises to meet the second

He will not question why it must be this way,
he will only indulge what is required.
