I intend to make that up to you. Affection and protection, as

well as discipline, are among the things you will need. The

redness in Daria's bottom was subsiding as Suzanne slowly stroked

the little cheeks.

"We'll have a week together, day and night, for you to know

a mother's care. I have a soft heart for little girls, but that

does not mean I will ever let you get away with naughty behavior

again. Just in case this spanking fades from your memory during

the night, I intend to put your bare bottom over my knees every

morning and give you a little "reminder". Just enough to give

you a good sting and turn your cheeks pink. That should keep you

polite and obedient".

Daria was mortified, but did not dare to protest. Suzanne

assisted her stepdaughter to her feet and the teen quickly pulled

her panties up. Noticing for the first time her bra was missing,

she placed on hand on each breast, her nipples peeking through

her fingers.

"Come here, Daria." Suzanne said as she stood and reached

out her hand. "Walk over to the mirror with me."

Daria reluctantly removed a hand from her breast and gave it

to Suzanne. They walked over to the full-length, oak-framed

mirror in the corner of the teen's room and stood in front of it.

Daria stood there wearing just her panties, one breast covered

with her hand, one hand holding Suzanne's, her face red and tear-

stained.

"Turn around, Daria." Suzanne directed.

Daria let go of her stepmother's hand and turned around.

"Turn your head and look behind you,"Suzanne ordered.

Daria turned her head and looked into the mirror at her

panty-clad bottom. Suzanne reached over and pulled the teen's

panties down.

"Oh!" Daria yelped, but made no attempt to cover herself.

"See how red your bottom is, Daria?" Suzanne asked.

"Yes,"Daria whispered, face blushing deeply.

"It looks sore. Is it?" Suzanne asked.

"Yes. It's sore, Daria murmured, beginning to cry.

"Remember what your bottom looks like and how much it hurts,

Daria, the next time you think about being naughty. If I have to

spank you again for misbehavior, I'll use the paddle on your

chubby little bottom," Suzanne promised sternly. "Have I made

myself clear?"

"Yes, Daria choked, looking away from the mirror, hot shame

washing over her.

Suzanne pulled up the teen's panties.

"You will stay in your room and write a note of apology to

the principal and to the girl you struck, Suzanne instructed her

stepdaughter. "After I have read the notes and approved them,

you may help me prepare dinner."

The teen nodded her assent, her eyes still teary. Suzanne

drew her stepdaughter to her and held her.

"I want to be a good mother to you, sweetie. Discipline is

part of being a good parent. Do you understand?"

Daria nodded her response and Suzanne kissed her

stepdaughter's forehead and left the room.

Rubbing her bottom, Daria realized she had underestimated

her stepmother. Perhaps, she thought, I should have come up with

a plan I could have put into action a little at a time. Maybe

drive Suzanne crazy over a long period of time. She's thinks

she's won. Huh! When Daddy comes home I'm going to tell him what

she did to me. He'll never allow it to happen again. He might

even take me with him every time he has to go away on business.

That'll show her. Suddenly remembering the "reminder" spankings

her stepmother promised her, Daria decided she'd better keep cool

until her father came home. She went over to her desk and wrote

the notes of apology, not one word of which was sincere.
