EVA'S ERROR My phone rings. "Hello, Eva here....Yes Senator, I'll be in your office in two minutes." His voice sounds irritated, even slightly angry. I feel nervous as I tread the corridor to his office. It is unlike him. The Senator is always so kind. He never criticizes us and he is always understanding if we are ill or late. He is the perfect boss and this job is easily the best I have ever had. Feeling gradually more confident, I arrive at his door. I knock softly and wait. "Come in Eva." I enter cautiously, smiling. He smiles back. He is an attractive man, for his age. He must be twice as old as me. I am 26. "Sit down here Eva." He gestures towards a chair, continuing to smile warmly. "Thank you Sir." I was wrong, he is not angry. He sits behind his desk, his strong blue eyes gaze across at me. They dart across my face, then my cleavage. His eyes always wander. He likes me I know. It is my fault. I am wearing a dark blue body that plunges at the front displaying plenty. "Eva, we have a slight problem here. Someone has invited Sam Quillen to next week's luncheon." I look surprised, Sam is one of the Senator's political allies. "Well, normally it would be fine Eva, but you see I've also invited Ted Blonk and he hates Quillen. If Quillen is there I can kiss goodbye any chance of a campaign contribution from Blonk." I shift uncomfortably in my chair. "Did you invite Quillen Eva?" His question is so direct I feel thrown. "No, no Sir." But I know I did. I remember mailing the invitation. Why did I lie? I feel hot, slightly breathless. For a moment I'm not listening to the Senator. Then I hear him say, "Well, whoever did has messed up a lot of hard work." He frowns. Then he smiles again. "Eva, could I trouble you to return to your office and to bring me a copy of the computer file you used to generate the invitations that you personally sent? I meant to ask you to bring it when I called. I'm sorry, but I need to know who invited who. Perhaps then I can find out who invited Quillen." I feel myself blushing. "Yes Sir." I walk back to my office in a daze. Now what am I to do? You stupid fool, why did you lie? Why didn't you just admit your mistake? At the office, I get an idea. Of course. Edit out the entry for Quillen. For the first time in several minutes I feel relaxed, at least a little. Quickly I make the necessary changes. Within seconds, I am walking back to his office carrying my disk. After knocking, I am summoned inside. "Thank you Eva, thank you." The Senator takes the disk. "Take a seat please. I hope I'm not keeping you from your other work. But this will only take a minute." He puts the disk in a laptop on his desk and examines the file. "Yes, no sign of Quillen here. Excellent." He smiles. I smile back. What relief. Smart thinking, Eva. But suddenly, "No, no, no, something is not right here. This file was edited just 5 minutes ago. Look." I get up and see his finger pointing at the time. Oh no. What now? For a moment he looks puzzled, but rapidly his face fills with understanding. Then he glances up at me and the understanding turns to annoyance. "Eva, did you delete Quillen from this file just now, before returning with the disk?" "No Sir I didn't." I know I'm very red in the face and fidgeting nervously. My heart starts pounding harder. The Senator's expression becomes stern. " Sit back down Eva." This time the gentle tone is gone." I feel an uncomfortable tingle as I slide back into my chair. He stares across the table at me, his eyes penetrating me. I look down at the floor. I am too ashamed to look him in the face. There is a long silence as I tremble anxiously. Finally the Senator stands. I look up at his form towering over me. "Eva, you edited this file and deleted Quillen didn't you?" "Yes Sir." My answer is barely a whisper. The Senator pauses. He shakes his head back and forth. "Eva, I am very disappointed in you. Mistakes I can accept, though I must say that in this case your error will be an expensive one. However, when you lie to me and then attempt to cover up your lies by deception..." His sentence tales off. His face indicates how angry he really is. I bow my head again, this time lower. I wonder if my trembling is noticeable to him. The Senator walks behind me and then paces the room. Now he stops and speaks: "Eva, I am afraid that I can no longer trust you....and if I can't trust you...well...I am forced to let you go." These words echo through my head as I feel a knot in my stomach grow tighter. Rapidly, tears well up in my eyes. I sit up and half turn in my chair so I can face him. "Sir, please....I'm sorry, really very sorry." He is unmoved. "This will never happen again I guarantee. Please give me a chance." I stare up at him, my pleading eyes meeting his merciless expression. "No Eva, what you have done is too serious. If I let you stay, you will not have been taught a lesson. In your own interests, it is better for you to go. Then, I hope, you'll understand how wrong it is to violate the trust others place in you." He seems set on firing me. I feel awful. I have blown the best job that could ever come my way. Maybe one last desperate plea. "Sir, I beg of you....I am so sorry. I know what I did was wrong. I don't know why I did it. Please Sir, I know I need to be taught a lesson, but do you have to fire me? Please Sir, I'll do anything." The Senator paces across the room. He is deep in thought. He returns to his desk and sits down again. He stares at me. I see the barest hint of a smile. "Well Eva, there is a way. Mind you, it's not popular these days." I shift uncomfortably in my chair. Somehow, I know what he is about to say. "A young lady who has misbehaved as you have could use a strong dose of corporal punishment. Something that she would not forget in a hurry." He speaks coldly. All the while his gaze is unwavering. I blush slightly and gaze down into my lap. "If you will accept this form of punishment then perhaps we can save you your job here. But, it's your choice. Think about it for a minute." He walks into an adjoining room. I can hear him shuffling papers or something. I have received spankings before, when I was little. They certainly hurt, but I want to keep this job so badly. My thoughts are interrupted by the Senator's return to the room. He stands beside me and places a hand on my shoulder. "What's it to be then Eva? You can take the punishment or you are free to leave." "The punishment please Sir," I find myself saying. I squirm in my seat as I speak and I feel my heart start to race. I look up at him eyes wide with apprehension. He smiles. "Very well, come back to my office at 5pm sharp. Don't be late now will you?" "No Sir, I won't." He ushers me out of the room and I return to my work. I do nothing in the ensuing time. I sit and worry about my decision. Maybe I should have asked him exactly what this punishment involved. Surely he won't be too harsh, but then again who knows? I saw a new side of the Senator today and he frightened me. I make sure I time my knock on his door at 5pm exactly. My knock is hesitant. His reply is anything but that, a sharp crisp "Enter!" that jolts me to alertness. I bow my head, open the door and enter the room sheepishly. I am startled when I see not just the Senator, but another man of similar age and dress standing on the far side of the room. The Senator beckons me forward and then motions me to stop just in front of his desk. "Now Eva, I want to make sure that you haven't changed your mind. Have you?" "No Sir, I haven't," I bleat meekly, not daring to look up. "You are quite sure?" I nod several times. "Very well, Eva. For your sake I invited my associate Ted Blonk. He is, shall we say, a neutral observer. He is here to insure that I treat you fairly." I look over at Blonk. He smiles back, a disgusting smile that makes me feel sick. I know he is really just here to view my paddling. The Senator carries a heavy chair to the center of the room and sits in it. It's about to start. I swallow. I feel myself perspiring. My extremities seem to tingle. "Come stand right in front on me Eva. That's it. Good girl. Stand up straight now and place your hands on your head. Elbows sticking out. Good. Excellent." He pauses for a moment, as if unsure where to begin. Soon however I feel his hands working on my belt buckle. Soon the belt is sliding off, away from my white jeans. Then the button on the jeans is nimbly unfastened and the jeans unzipped. I try to keep perfectly still, just the frequent rise and fall of my chest as I gasp to breath. "Take your jeans off Eva." For a moment I fumble in a fluster. But soon I have them sliding down my legs and over my heels. Blonk gives an approving grunt as I stand up straight again. His eyes flow up my legs and across my crotch and breasts, now covered only by my dark blue body. "Come around to the side Eva and put yourself across my knees," says the Senator sternly. I feel myself being pulled across his lap by my arm. My hands hold me up off the floor and my butt sticks up in the air in the perfect position for the Senator to see. Blonk gets up and walks across the room to where he can get a better view. I strain my neck to see where he is going. The Senator's firm hand grasps the material of the body just above my butt and pulls it up my back. This sends the material deep into the crack between my soft cheeks, effectively exposing me fully. I start to feel ashamed. I expect some more preliminaries but I am taken by surprise as the Senator delivers a hard blow with his hand to my left buttock. I tense and absorb the harsh sting bravely, letting out only a slight yelp and that is more from the surprise than pain. A second and third blow follow quickly, one on each cheek. The Senator's hand is heavy and he holds back nothing. At this point I can grit my teeth and take each slap with no more than a jerk of my body and a slight frown. However, I know about spanking. The early going is just to build up some redness in the cheeks. Then once I am "warmed up," as Blonk chuckles, the blows will be much harder to take. By about the tenth slap I know I have reached that stage. My cheeks are burning hot and each new slap make them sizzle unbearably. "No Sir, please, it hurts," I whimper, as I twist on his lap. "Eva!" he retorts, "Keep still...and straighten your legs. I want that bottom held up high on my lap. Do not try to slide away." Though I'm unsure why (fear of losing my job? the slight guilty pleasure I am experiencing?), I pull myself back into a more satisfactory position. The spanking resumes, hard and fast. Each slap causes me to throw back my head and shout a begging protest. Blonk utters something about knowing it wouldn't be long before I was yelling. I briefly imagine the smug grin that must be on his face and I start to feel angry at the Senator for humiliating me in front of this disgusting man. Such ruminations cannot last long though, as my mind is constantly brought back to the task at hand by the swift series of spanks I receive, alternating between one cheek and the other. "I'm sorry Sir, I'm sorry. Oh Sir please stop now. Arghhh!!" Tears stream heavily down my soft face. My long brunette hair sags over my face due to the flailing each slap causes in me. The intensity of the spanking increases until I feel like my butt is on fire. But suddenly and without warning the Senator stops. I adjust my position slightly and reach up to rub myself with my right hand. But the Senator's arm pushes me back down. "No Eva! Do not attempt to relieve the pain. Just stay in position. I want you to contemplate the burning sting a while longer." How can he be so cruel? Have I not taken enough? Blonk chuckles. I assume he realizes how mean the Senator's command seems to me. He repulses me. More than a minute passes until I am finally told that I should stand up. "Do not place your hands on your behind Eva. Put them back on your head like before." I stand erect in that position. Behind me, I feel Blonk's hot breath on my shoulder. "You certainly know how to treat a wayward employee I must say." I shudder as he inspects the deep red glow of my exposed cheeks. Blonk walks around to face me. He expresses some mocking sympathy when he sees the mixture of mascara and tears that trail down both sides of my face. He moves a finger to wipe away a tear. I want to step back and spit at him. Of course I dare not. I feel so humiliated by this man. Himself tired and reddened by his exertions, the Senator pours himself and his guest a drink from a large decanter on a small corner table. After handing Blonk his drink, he says, "Now Eva, you have been punished for your mistake. That just leaves us with the matter of your lying to take care of." I am shocked. I had thought we were finished, but it seems that we are not. My face gives away my surprise. "That's right Eva, we cannot let your devious attempt to decieve me go unpunished can we?" "Uh...no Sir, I suppose not." "Good girl." Both the Senator and Blonk smile at me wickedly. The Senator continues, "Very well, remove your body. I want you naked for the next bit." I pause momentarily, alarmed that I must reveal myself in front of them. "Please Sir, is it necessary to punish me further. I promise I will not lie in future." I speak with pleading sincerity. The Senator replies with a sigh, "No it is not necessary Eva. If you wish you may put on your jeans and go. However, don't plan on coming to work tomorrow or any other day. It's up to you. What is it to be?" In hopeless resignation I begin to slide off the dark blue body. I feel their eyes biting into my bare exposed flesh as I step out of it and place it on a nearby chair. "I think she's made her decision," says the Senator to Blonk. The pair of them exchange knowing glances. "Hands back on your head Eva. Stand up straight...that's it. Very nice. Very nice indeed." They stand in front of me, sipping their drinks, taking in, amongst other things, the sight of my full breasts sticking upwards and outwards due to the positioning of my hands. I feel mortified. I would rather they just punished me than tortured me like this. After several minutes of this, Blonk says, "What's part two going to be?" The Senator responds, "I'm not sure. Lying is truly despicable. It has to be something she won't forget in a hurry." Blonk chuckles, gives me a sneering look and says, "I suggest that we get the little bitch across your desk and thrash her with the cane. Sound reasonable?" The Senator nods gravely and exits to the adjoining room. Moments later he returns wielding a long slender cane. I catch sight of it out of the corner of my eye and flinch in horror as I anticipate the brutal blows it is about to deliver to my defenseless and still aching behind. The Senator comes behind me. He taps the cane several times on my butt, only very lightly. "Right Eva, go over to the desk and bend across it." I comply. The polished desk is cold against my breasts and stomach and hard where the edge presses into my thighs. "That's good. Now straighten your legs and raise that pretty little behind of your's. Nice and high. I don't want to miss and believe me you don't want me to either." The wait for the first stroke is unbearable. The Senator stands beside me. He places his left hand on my lower back. I tense as I feel his warm palm press downwards. Then I feel the cane press against my cheeks. He slides it slightly from left to right and back again. He lifts it back so it is no longer touching me. Then he presses it back once more. He repeats the whole procedure several times. Feeling anxious, I try to peep up over my shoulder, but I try to be unobvious lest I should be noticed. Finally, the cane is lifted high, held motionless momentarily, and then brought down with speed and skill. I hear a swish followed by a loud crack as the cane strikes me square across the middle of my ass. Almost instantly a hot burning pain stings along the line of contact. I throw my head back. "Aaarghh!! Oh Sir." The pain spreads throughout my behind, but barely loses any of its intensity at the point that the had cane struck. Recovery time is kept to a minimum as a second equally forceful and deftly placed stroke swipes the delicate underside of my cheeks. I contort my face in distress and yell a loud protest. A hard spanking such as I had received is one thing, the cane, especially when wielded with the expertise the Senator has, is an entirely different experience. Furthermore, the spanking had left my bottom so raw that the cane's cruel punishment is even more intense than I would have ever dreamt. The Senator continues. I lose count of the strokes. They come in rapid succession. His aim is uncanny. He seems to find a new spot each time. "Oh God Sir, pleeease!!! I beg you!!! Stop!!!" My cries are accompanied by a gushing stream of tears and frequent comments from that pig Blonk. "That's it, give it to her. She's not gonna forget this beating in a hurry." As I endure the last two or three blows, I scream in agony, twisting and turning, barely able to maintain the required position. Finally, the Senator stops and steps back. I lay across the table panting and sobbing. "I'm so sorry Sir, really I am. I will never lie again I promise." My bottom is covered in a series of cleverly placed parallel welts that resonate with raw biting pain. I pray that this is the end of my punishment. I know I must not raise a hand behind me to sooth the agony. Never mind, Blonk steps forward and does it for me. The initial contact of his fingers increases the pain as he irritates the soreness, but as he presses harder he unwittingly brings limited relief to me. He grunts approval as he prods and probes me. He seems to delight in the soft moans each touch brings from me. Blonk finishes feeling me when the Senator says, "That's enough now Eva. I hope you have learnt your lesson. Please do not ever try to deceive me again." "I won't Sir, honestly I won't." I continue to sob. "Now, be a good girl. Collect your clothes and return to your office. You can dress there. No one will see you. Everyone went home over an hour ago." I get up, gather my jeans and the body. Somewhat comically given the amount of time I have spent naked before these men, I cover my breasts and pubic hair with the garments. Due to the shame I feel, I keep my eyes downcast. I hurry towards the door. I open it, then pause, turn and look at the Senator. I lower my arms to my sides so that the clothes no longer preserve my modesty. "Thank you Sir for punishing me." Then I look at Blonk. "And thank you Sir for giving of your time to see that my punishment was fair." The men look at each other. They are puzzled at first, but quickly their expressions change into delighted smiles. I bow my head once more and without fuss leave the room, closing the door softly behind me. I did not encounter anyone during my short trip back to my office, just as the Senator had assured me. At home I applied soothing lotions to ease my pain, but for several days sitting and even walking, were uncomfortable. It was certainly a beating I would not forget, even long after the welts had healed. Sometimes when I am alone giving myself pleasure, my mind wanders back to this incident. The memories never fail to arouse me. As a footnote, the next day I arrived at work early. There was a note on my desk from the Senator attached to a check. It read, "Please bank this at once Eva." The check was for $50000 to the Senator's campaign fund, signed by Ted Blonk.
