Cadet David Mark Jefferson stared at the content of his safety box. He broke into a cold sweat and felt sick. He had been framed by somebody! The day before there hadn't been a gold watch, a wedding ring and two large stacks of cash in his safety box. They were exactly the items that had been reported stolen, and he had opened the safe in front of his Wing Leader during a room inspection. He was screwed! His parents were going to kill him!
Commander Corey Richmond, who was in his forties, tall and red haired, was informed the thief of the military academy had been found out. He was surprised, when Cadet Jefferson was named. The cadet had been quite a long time with the academy. There had been so far three stealing incidents, starting only three years ago, but seventeen year old dark haired David had been with them for six. Why had been Cadet Jefferson stealing and why had he only started doing so a few years back? Commander Richmond didn't have a lot of options. He had to expel Cadet Jefferson, but before he was going to show Cadet Jefferson how wrong stealing was.
How humiliating the punishment was going to be depended on the cadet's behavior.
The miscreant entered Commander Richmond's office. Cadet Jefferson looked guilty and avoided eye contact with his superior. Commander Richmond asked Cadet Jefferson to take a seat and the reason why David had been stealing. Cadet Jefferson protested his innocence, making matters worse. The evidence wasn't on his side. Commander Richmond came to a decision. He lectured Cadet Jefferson about the importance of speaking the truth, respecting other's property and to behave honorable as a representative of the academy and a future soldier. Commander Richmond told Cadet Jefferson how disappointed he was in him and that he thought he had to make it clear stealing was unacceptable. In Commander Richmond's eyes Cadet Jefferson didn't show any remorse, so he was going to punish him accordingly. "You are going to be paddled and expelled. Please report to the Wing Leader's Room at 16.00 hours sharp. In the mean time stay on your room and think about why you are going to be punished." A look into Corey Richmond's face told David to keep quiet. David was angry that no one believed him and that he was going to be spanked, something he had avoided - at least at the academy - for a long time. He found it hard to swallow he should be punished for something he hadn't done. David's mind worked feverishly. He tried to figure out who had framed him, but he didn't come up with a solution. Time passed on the one side too quickly, on the other it seemed to be standing still. David started packing. He was dejected and didn't see a way out of his situation.
Punctual at 4 PM David was waiting in front of the Wing Leader's Room. He didn't want to enter, but thought to better get it over with. Unpunctuality wasn't accepted at the school.
To David's dismay all seven male Wing Leaders and Commander Richmond were present. They were all stern looking.
David had already calculated he would get the full amount of swats Commander Richmond could give.
"Cadet Jefferson, please step forward." Commander Richmond ordered. David obeyed. He stood in front of the lined up Wing Leaders and didn't know where to look.
"Due to your dishonest behavior and because you showed no remorse and even went on further lying, I award you six swats with the paddle on your bare posterior." David swallowed hard. He hadn't expected that. Bare bottom paddling were allowed since it was a private school, but hadn't been enforced for a couple of years.
"Cadet Jefferson, remove your shoes, socks, trousers and underpants." Commander Richmond ordered. David hesitated for a moment. He thought it was absolutely not necessary to be bared completely from the waist down. "Cadet Jefferson?" Commander Richmond probed. His voice didn't leave any doubt he wouldn't accept disobedience. With a sigh David started to undress. He was asked to fold his clothing and put it on one of the chairs behind him. David was glad he wasn't forced to show his front, but it was embarrassing enough. David wished he was somewhere else. The paddle was lying menacingly on the table, where the chairs were grouped around it. The paddle was made from oak wood with drilled in holes and was around 16 in long, 4 in wide and 0.5 in thick. Soon it was going to warm up his backside.
When Cadet Jefferson was undressed, he was asked to bend over the table. The paddle was still clearly visible. After what seemed like ages, Commander Richmond picked it up. David wasn't sure if he was grateful or not. He felt the stares of the Wing Commanders and hoped he could take the paddling like a man. Commander Richmond started the spanking, when David least expected it. The paddle came crashing down on David's behind. He managed barely to keep quiet. His seat felt as if it was on fire. The next swat didn't follow immediately, giving David time to concentrate on the pain. He hated to wait.
The second lick landed with a mighty crack on David's sit spots. He cried out in pain and was standing up, before he knew what he did. David rubbed his behind. When he realized what he had done, David felt embarrassed he didn't have himself under control. "Bend over, Cadet Jefferson." Commander Richmond ordered. "I'm counting to ten. You better be back in position by then." With trepidation David bent over before Commander Richmond had arrived at five. The third swat was given as soon as David was in position. He was frustrated, because he cried out again and his eyes watered. Commander Richmond applied more force with each swat. He wanted to break Cadet Jefferson. The commander thought thieves were disgusting and he wanted to make the cadet pay for all the pain and trouble he had caused.
It was a hopeless case for David. All his willpower didn't help. He cried out after each stroke, no matter how hard he tried to be stoic and couldn't hold the tears back any longer, when after waiting for the last swat for what he guessed were five minutes, when it was finally applied. It was very embarrassing for him, having lost composure. Crying like a baby was shameful for David, because he thought he was a man at his age, and tried not to sob. It was no consolence to him that Commander Richmond had really blistered his backside. He wondered, if he ever could sit again. David was further humiliated, when Commander Richmond told him to get up. "Your father is going to collect you tomorrow morning. He told me he is going to pull down your pants and underpants and will teach you a lesson or two..." Of course all Wing Leaders were still there and heard everything. "When you get dressed, Jefferson, don't forget your underwear." Cadet Jefferson grimaced, when pulling on his clothing. He was red faced, tear streaked and his behind felt very, very sore. He so didn't look forward to meet his father.
