Eleven year old Ethan heard the knock on his bedroom door. "Come in."

Collette the au pair entered. Only 18 years old herself, she looked at her younger charge, dressed in his favourite t-shirt and blue jeans. A handful at times for sure, unruly and lazy, like most boys of his age, but he looked up politely when she entered.

"Your Mum's at work. She sent me this email."

He read it. "Ethan was rude to me this morning. It really upset me but I was running late. Please give him a spanking. Bare bottom. Straightaway."

Ethan looked up. "But I haven't done anything. And Mum has never spanked me before" he moaned.

"This email sounds pretty insistent Ethan. Were you rude to your Mum?"

"Sorta."

"Well, that's it then. So it looks like you have earned your spanking. OK?"

Ethan nodded. Accepting. Collette took him to a chair and sat down.

"Your Mum said bare bottom" as she yanked down his jeans and pants. The teenager put him across her lap, and without any delay spanked his bare bottom. It only took a few minutes before Ethan was crying.

"OK Ethan, now you've been spanked once you had better be a good boy or else I might just have to put you across my lap again. Understood?"

Ethan gasped, still sobbing and rubbing his bottom, feeling sorry for himself with his jeans and pants still down around his ankles. He nodded.

"Good boy.  Now, I need you to go and make your bed.  Oh, and then you must do your homework. OK?"

Again Ethan nodded. He had never made his bed in his life but quickly pulled up his pants and jeans and went off to his bedroom.  Colette looked in about 10 minutes later to find the bed made and Ethan sitting at his desk writing away. She smiled to herself.

When Ethan's Mother came home she told Collette in front of Ethan "I never sent the email. It's very strange isn't it?"

The two women turned to Ethan who blushed. Ethan didn't notice the smile between the two women.

"So Ethan, how was being spanked?" his Mother asked kindly.

"It hurt Mum."

"Good. Anyway, come with me." Ethan didn't understand the comment but followed his Mother to the computer. She quickly opened up the fake email address he had set up in her name and found the offending email.

His mouth dropped open. "You knew all along."

"Yes we did. So, you asked to be spanked, right?" His Mum asked laughing. Collette smiled. . Ethan nodded, blushing, feeling uncomfortable. "I just wanted Colette to spank me once to see what it was like."

"But it was very naughty and manipulative. Still, look on the bright side. I won't ever be grounding you again." She grinned.

"Really?" he said, smiling now.

"Collette said she only had to ask you once to do anything today, well after she spanked you anyway. It seems you couldn't have been better behaved."

"I decided I didn't want another spanking Mum."

She ignored the comment. "But you were naughty doing that email, weren't you."

"Well yes, but I got spanked for that didn't I Mum" Ethan said seriously, concerned where the conversation might lead.  His worst fears were realised when his Mother said "Nevertheless, whilst you may not have realised it, Colette only gave you a very short spanking. I told her I would punish you properly when I got home which I'm going to do now. You know you deserve it, right?"

His Mum didn't wait for an answer but led him to a chair, pulled down his jeans and pants, and placed him across her lap. She and Collette winked at each other but his Mum purposely sounded cross when she told her son "you got what you wanted the first time. This spanking will be less welcome."

She gave her son his second spanking of the day. Much harder and much longer than Collette's. She kept scolding him and ignored all of his squirming and pleading and crying as she turned his bottom bright red and very sore.

When she was satisfied he had been sufficiently punished she let him up and hugged him. "I'm really really sorry Mum" Ethan said through his tears.

"Hey, you've never said that before sweetie. I guess spanking you works huh?"

"Does it?" Ethan asked, smiling weakly, not quite understanding

"So maybe that will be your last spanking as well as no more grounding for you.  That's great isn't it?"

"Wow, thanks Mum." Things were looking up.

"Well, spanking obviously works much better than grounding" she added seriously.

"Oh erm, right Mum, but you said no more spanking as well."

"That's right. You won't get spanked so long as you are good. Clean your room, do your homework, no back chat, that kind of thing.  Otherwise you get spanked again."

"But Mum." Ethan was about to burst in to tears.

"Hey, you gave me the idea. I only decided when I saw your email that in future I am going to spank you. But look, only when you are naughty though. So it's all up to you really." She smiled at her son.

Ethan was thinking about that comment then knew what he had let himself in for when his Mum added "Mind you Ethan you are usually naughty at least once a week aren't you. So you can be a good boy or a well spanked boy." She added with a smile.

This time Ethan rubbed his very warm bottom knowing it won't be the last time he would be going across his Mums lap.  She was right as well. He often gets sent to his room twice or even more times a week. Now he won't be going alone, as much as he would prefer to be. No, he'll be with his Mum, across her lap, having his bare bottom spanked.

Ethan sniffed "I guess."
