ma’am, Penny would like to
demonstrate what she can do.”
He looked at Penny. She just sat there with
her head down, a slight smile on her face.
“Well, Penny,” Ms. Pennington said. “Don’t
keep us in suspense.”
Again, Penny just sat there. They waited a
tense ten seconds or so.
“Well, Mr. Wakefield,” his boss said, haughty
and angry. “I hope you don’t expect me to make her do it. The most
I can get her to do is cry.”
“No ma’am,” he said. “Come on, Penny. Do it,
just like you did in class today.”
Still, she just sat there.
He looked at his boss. She looked like she
wanted to burn a hole through him with her eyes. In that moment, he
wouldn’t have been shocked if she had such a power. “Maybe you need
to have a few moments alone with your student,” she said,
irritation shaking her voice.
“Yes ma’am,” he said, then got up. “Come on,
Penny.”
Penny just sat there. He didn’t want to jerk
her from that chair. But he thought the worse thing to do would be
to test Ms. Pennington’s patience.
He took Penny by the forearm and lifted her
from the chair. She whined but didn’t say anything.
He took her out into the hall. He turned her
to him. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Why won’t you read?”
She shrugged and grinned at him wickedly. “I
don’t want to. And you’ll get in trouble for not teaching me.”
He knew he couldn’t fool around. The most
important woman in his world was waiting.
“I will bend you over right here in the hall
and spank your naked butt.”
“No you won’t. You’re afraid of Ms.
Pennington.”
She had that right. But he thought she had
the wrong idea about what Ms. Pennington would have to say about
it.
He grabbed her and brought her under his arm,
bent over.
“No. Don’t. Don’t spank me.”
He had her bent in front of him. He reached
down and pulled her dress up.
“No,” she said. “I don’t want you to see my
bare butt. Please leave my panties on. Please.’
He quickly slipped the panties to around her
thighs. She was able to wiggle and squirm in this position. For a
little while, he felt almost hypnotized, watching that butt quiver
as she moved it. He knew he was going to be walking back in the
dining room with a hard on. But there wasn’t much he could do about
that at this point. He brought a hand down. That skin felt so
amazing. It was so smooth and tender. Beneath it was a firm base.
It felt so good that he just gripped it for a little while, before
hitting her butt again. The he alternated between the sides,
watching and feeling the girl’s butt wiggle.
“No. Please. Okay. I’ll read.”
He let her go. She stood up, but not before
he got an eyeful of the two brown lips between her legs. Evidently,
Ms. Pennington trusted these girls with razors.
“Let’s go,” he said. “Now.”
She led him back into the kitchen, where she
gingerly took her seat. He stood, avoiding contact with Ms.
Pennington. Penny opened the book and read through her sobs.
“D … ahh . . . nnn . . . eee. Danny . . . had
. . . a . . . Dog. It was red. Its . . . nnn . . . aaaam . . . was
Rex.”
She went on to read five pages.
“Stop,” Ms. Pennington said.
Now he did make eye contact with the woman.
It was clear she was amazed. “I couldn’t get her to make words, and
you got her reading books. I don’t know how you do it, but keep it
up.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Take the rest of the day off again. You’ve
earned it.”
He considered bringing up that he needed the
address. It seemed almost like it would be a good time. He supposed
he’d wait, though. He didn’t even know if he’d make money to be
sent to him. Instead, he just went to his room.

few hours. It was easy to set it up at both places. Kindle made you
charge at least 99 cents. Smashwords let you give your book away.

seemed like they would want
