Nick's Naughty Elf. Georgia St. Claire

the spanking. I told you to wait in the corner. What are you doing listening in on my phone call again?”

      “I’m sorry, so sorry! I couldn’t find the toothpaste so I came to ask. Please don’t hurt me!”

      He had her by the arm and was marching towards her bedroom. “What did you hear this time?”

      “Nothing!”

      He sighed, stopped and faced her in the hallway. “Don’t lie, little elf. That is one of the most naughty things you can do. I promise I’m going to spank and paddle you; nothing more. Tell me what you heard so I know how to handle things.”

      “I don’t want to be handled; I want to go home! You’re frightening me!” she wailed. “I thought you would be nice because you’re Santa Claus!”

      Nick knelt in front of her so that they were at the same eye level. He put his hands gently on her shoulders to keep her in place and focused on what he said. “Marcie, you know I’m not Santa Claus. I’m Dominic Clausson. I’m a distant relation to Mr. Nickson and I came to run the store while he is sick. That means I’m also filling in as Santa Claus; just like you aren’t really an elf, you’re just pretending to be one.”

      “But it feels so real when I do it. That’s why it’s so important to me to continue. I even think elf thoughts when I’m dressed up.”

      “You do?” He was incredulous and then shook his head. “We’re getting off topic here. You weren’t frightened of me before, so obviously what you overheard has concerned you. Tell me, please.”

      “You said you didn’t know how much I understood, but you didn’t want to take any chances,” she whispered. “Please don’t hurt me.”

      “That’s all you heard?” She nodded. Nick stood up, took her hand and began leading her down the hall again. “I have to talk to someone before I can explain very much. And I have to spank you before anything else. Look what happened when I delayed spanking you for eavesdropping on my first call, you immediately did it again! So spanking first, then some corner time while I figure out what to use as a paddle, then a brisk paddling and then into bed with you. There’s nothing like a hearty session of crying over a blistered bottom to wear a naughty elf out and send her to sleep. Then I am going to make another phone call and you had better not stir out of that bed! I don’t care what you think you can use as an excuse, if you so much as stick a toe out from under the covers I am going to be so angry, I can’t imagine how I’m going to punish you then! Do you understand, little elf?” She nodded. “No. I want to hear you promise me this time.” They had reached her bed and Nick sat down, pulling her to stand between his legs. “Promise me now, Marcie. No more eavesdropping! No more naughtiness at all.”

      She looked down at the carpet. “I promise.”

      “Not good enough. I want eye contact and I want a full statement of what you are promising me.”

      She raised her eyes. “I promise that I will not be naughty and I especially will not eavesdrop.”

      He looked at her intently. “I believe your promise. But, just so we are clear on the matter, crossing your fingers or anything else doesn’t excuse you from a promise.”

      She gave a tiny giggle, “I’m not crossing anything. I mean my promise!”

      “I know you do this time; but I have a hunch that you were going to try to get out of a future promise, so I thought I would make sure you understand the rules.”

      Her eyes got wide. “Oh!”

      Nick nodded in satisfaction. “Just as I thought; you are in the habit of crossing your fingers and thinking that it means the promise doesn’t count. Well, now you know that you’ve been wrong all those times and that also means you were naughty every time you gave a promise you had no intention of keeping. Shame on you! I’ll allow no more of that, little elf! Now up you get.” His large hands spanned her waist as he lifted her and placed her across his knees.

      She turned her head to look back at him. “Don’t spank me for past times, okay? I can’t help that, I didn’t know!”

      “Of course you knew. Giving a false promise is very naughty and every time you are naughty you feel a little twinge in your tummy. You can’t tell me that you didn’t.”

      Her shoulders slumped. “You’re right, I can’t tell you that.”

      “But I am not going to punish you for past misbehavior, only what you have done since we came together. I want you to hold on tight to that pillow so that you aren’t tempted to reach back. And use it to muffle any sounds that are very loud; I’m not sure how well soundproofed the walls are in this place. This is for your first offense of eavesdropping.” He inched her tee shirt up to the small of her back and brought his hand down with a hard crash. The size difference between them meant that his palm covered nearly her whole bottom with every spank. He moved the position of his hand with each spank, but there was still a huge area of overlap.

      Marcie held on tight to the pillow and buried her face in it to keep her squeals from being audible. She remembered her thought earlier of how much the spanking over her dress while standing had hurt, and not wanting to experience a bare bottom spanking. But this was much worse than she had ever imagined. This made the earlier spanking seem like he had been playing patty cake. When he started on her thighs and her sit spots, she couldn’t understand why she didn’t lose consciousness from the pain, but she wasn’t spared.

      Nick realized that his hand was delivering a spanking that was harsher than should be expected, simply because there was so much overlap with each smack; and he knew the paddling was going to be hard on his elf as well, so he didn’t continue the first punishment for longer than it took to turn her fair skin crimson. “All right, little elf, we’ll call this spanking finished. I can’t exactly ask if you learned your lesson because you repeated the offense before I could deliver this punishment!” He rubbed her back in soothing circles trying to calm her crying. “I want you to go stand in the corner for a bit before we do the paddling. Were you finished in the bathroom before you came to ask me about the toothpaste, or do you need to go back and do anything else?”

      She raised her head from the pillow to answer, but that made her sobs too loud, so she shook her head and kept the pillow in place.

      Nick sighed as he continued stroking her. “I’m not sure if that was a shake no you don’t need to go back or a shake no you didn’t finish. So let’s try that again. Do you need to go back and finish in the bathroom?” This time she gave a clear affirmative nod. “Okay, my little elf,” he said attempting to sooth her, “I’ll give you time to finish in the bathroom before you stand in the corner. But you have to stop crying first, or at least calm down enough to let go of the pillow, okay? Come on now, this spanking is done and you need to stop crying about it.”

      She nodded and slowly raised her head up, her sobs subsiding.

      “That’s right, no more crying, there’s a good girl,” Nick encouraged. “Go finish up in the bathroom. Look in the linen closet for the extra toothpaste. I wasn’t expecting company while I’m staying here so I didn’t put any out.”

      She nodded again and finally stood, but didn’t move away. Nick looked at her in surprise. “What?”

      “That was the first time you’ve called me a girl. Every other time you’ve called me an elf.”

      Nick flushed and looked away, not meeting her eyes. “I guess I was just staying in character by thinking of you in character. You only took off your elf outfit a few minutes ago.”

      “But you’ve called me an elf several times since then.”

      “Don’t belabor the point, Marcie,” he growled. “Go finish in the bathroom and then get your nose in that corner. We still have a paddling to get through.” His hands on her shoulders twisted her around and he sent her off with a spank. She squealed and her hands flew back. “No rubbing!” he called after her. “Get those hands away from your bottom!”
