He grinned. “I’m going to find Tonya and her friends. And they won’t like it when I do.”
Kendrick wasn’t sure what he was going to do.
What he wanted to do was take Tonya over his knee, blister her bottom, and then give her a good talking to.
But he wasn’t sure he could get away with that.
Obviously, she was an adult and could leave the nursery anytime she wanted to. He couldn’t force discipline on her. But she had signed the nursery covenant when she applied for membership.
The covenant stated that if one broke the rules and chose to stay, then they had to submit to corrective actions. Everyone had an agreed-upon safeword in their file, and Kendrick didn’t know what Tonya’s was, but he could easily find out as a part-time employee of Auntie Athena’s.
He’d figure all that out later. Right now, he just knew he’d had it to his limit with Tonya’s bratty behavior.
Yet there was one thing he didn’t understand.
Why did he feel so compelled to punish her? It wasn’t as if she was his Little. In fact, he might have a Little of his own now.
Memories of their kiss the night before flooded his mind. Just holding sweet Samantha for those brief moments had meant everything to him.
So why did he have the urge to correct Tonya so strongly? What was going on?
He found her in the backyard.
“Come over here right now, little girl.”
She snapped to attention. Her eyes went wide. He could read the dread in her expression.
“Me?”
“You.” He snapped his fingers loudly and then pointed to the spot on the grass just before him. “Right here. Front and center.”
When she didn’t immediately respond, he said, “Now, little girl.”
She looked to her left and then right, at her two friends, then hung her head as she trudged toward him. She kept her head down, too, looking at the ground while he spoke to her.
“I’ve had just about enough of your bratty attitude, girlie. I’m going to clear it with Auntie Athena, but if she agrees to it, and you agree to stay here, I’m going to march you inside, bend you over, and take a paddle to your backside. And then I’m going to suggest that Auntie puts all three of you in diapers! You think mocking other Littles is fun? Well, we’ll see how much you like it when you’ve got so much padding between your legs that you can’t walk without waddling!”
Tonya gasped and looked up at him. “You wouldn’t!”
“Watch me.” He let a moment pass before adding, “In fact, I’m going to go talk to Athena and Caroline now.”
“No need,” Athena said.
Kendrick looked behind him and saw the two Aunties stepping out of the back door and into the yard.
“We heard your idea and we think it’s great,” she continued.
“We sure do,” Caroline said. “Now, being as you’re a man and she’s a woman, you can’t spank her naked bottom. But you can sure paddle her over those jeans. And thenwe’llhandle the diapering. That is, if they agree to stay and accept their comeuppance.”
“That’s right,” Athena said. “The other alternative is they leave. And there are no more chances. They’re banned from the nursery forever.”
Kendrick was all smiles as he returned his gaze to the naughty Little in front of him. “You hear that, girlie?”
She bobbed her head, a look of defeat registering in her eyes.
“So, what’s it going to be?”
Tonya shifted on her feet and then groaned loudly. “I’ll take the discipline.”
