Chapter 7: We Meet David and Kiri

And so Gemma and I became regular Thursday visitors at the club. In the beginning we met up only with Margo and Kieran. They were our regular dates. It was all very new and exciting and we looked forward to our visits. Margo was an inventive and imaginative partner, perfect for a couple of tyros. Each week brought something new and both Gemma and I learned a lot about the giving and receiving of spankings as a prelude to hot sex.

As time went on, though, I became less enthralled. Margo was a difficult person to get to know. We did not talk much: we simply met up, decided what sort of evening we wanted and went and did it. I was never sure, from week to week what sort of mood she would be in. Sometimes she would be bright, almost brittle, and be most demanding, and sometimes she would be so laid back it she hardly seemed the same person. Kieran, too, was moody and his moods did not always match those of his mother. All in all, Gemma and I agreed, they were not the easiest couple to deal with.

On a more positive note, though, Gemma and I became very close - hardly surprising I suppose. We began to confide in each other and talk about some of our secret desires - something I'd never be able to do with Marion. For example, I confessed I would like to have sex with someone younger.

"As young as me?" Gemma asked with a leer.

I was so startled that I blushed. "Well, yes, I suppose so. I mean, she wouldn't need to be as young as you, just young, but I wouldn't actually object, if you know what I mean," I stammered.

Gemma laughed. "If it's any consolation, I confess I wouldn't mind trying an oldy."

I was surprised. "As old as me?" I grinned.

She regarded me appraisingly but with a twinkle in her eye. "Oh, older, even."

"Not... Henry?"

"No. I draw the line at Henry although he is a perfect gentleman."

"He's a old rogue though a charming one."

"I'll leave him for Hazel." She was silent for a moment. "What do you think about Kieran?"

"How do you mean?"

"Is he sexy?"

"I can see why women would find him sexy. He's got that brooding Latin look."

"But do you think he's sexy?"

"No. Well... he's a good looking boy and he has a nice bum so I suppose, if I was that way inclined, I might fancy him. But, no, I don't find him sexy as such. You do, obviously."

"Oh, yes. He's got such hot eyes - they seem almost to devour me. And his touch is so gentle..." she paused. "... it's much the best sex I've ever had."

Wisely I forbore to comment. "But?" She looked at me enquiringly. "There was a 'but' in your voice."

"Was it that obvious?" she grinned.

"Only to me. So what's the 'but'?"

"I dunno," she said slowly. "They're both very nice; Margo and Kieran, and they're very sexy and I've learnt a lot from being with them, but... there's just something about them."

"I know what you mean. I've been thinking the same myself. They're very close, if you know what I mean. We've been with them six or seven times and I still don't think I know them any better now than I did then. They're also very changeable - you never know from week to week what sort of mood Margo'll be in. Don't get me wrong, like you I've learned a lot - and had a darned good time while I was - and Margo's a very attractive woman but, I dunno... perhaps I just fancy a change."

Gemma was nodding. "That's exactly how I feel, Dad."

"Okay, so what should we do? Find another couple?"

"I suppose." She gave a wicked grin. "How about another father and daughter? Then we could both indulge in our fantasies."

"You're a very naughty girl," I laughed. "Let's just see what turns up, shall we? Oh, and we'll need to work out how to extricate ourselves from Margo and Kieran without causing offence."

As it turned out we didn't have to worry about Margo and Kieran for, on our next visit we were given a message that they would not be coming. We sat in the bar and surveyed the scene. It was a familiar one now and we felt comfortable. We had become acquainted with a number of people who would stop and briefly chat. Some of them would remain just passing acquaintances but some, Gemma and I agreed, it would be nice to get to know much better.

A couple entered. A tall, slightly stooped, dark-haired man with spectacles and a stunning girl with heavy, dark blonde hair. They looked vaguely familiar. It took a moment then it clicked - the father who was having so much trouble with his daughter's sexual activities - Cora or Kara or something. They looked around as if unfamiliar with the place and I was reminded of Gemma and I on our first night.

I nudged Gemma. She glanced in their direction and nodded. The pair came towards the bar and were greeted by Felix. I presumed he was giving them the same welcome speech as he had us. A bit odd, though, that they were only starting on the social scene, Cora or Kara or whatever had begun her 'treatment' before Gemma.

Felix led them off on the grand tour. We studied them as they left. "What d'you think?" I said.

"Not bad," Gemma replied. "Worth talking to, at any rate. She's hot. I see why you fancy her."

"Actually I think I know who they are. They were here the first night Jack brought me here."

"Oh. Was she... ?"

"Yes. And she liked it even less than you did. Quite a little spitfire as I recall. I'm glad to see the treatment has worked."

"Doesn't it always?"

"Apparently not, according to Felix. Not all problems can be cured with the application of a firm slipper."

"So what do you do if it doesn't work."

"Felix says he recommends counselling or therapy or something like that. I didn't really ask."

She was silent in thought as she digested this. "So I guess I was lucky, then."

I smiled fondly. "No. You... we... had just stopped communicating and needed a sharp lesson to start again."

She leant over and kissed my cheek. "Thanks, Dad."

"What for?"

"Just for being you."

I shrugged. Sometimes I don't understand women at all.

The tourists returned and listened while Felix talked and gestured round the bar area. I knew he was telling them to go and introduce themselves. I glanced at Gemma who nodded so I rose and approached them.

"Hello, I'm Gerry. My daughter, Gemma, and I were wondering if you'd like to join us."

They looked across at Gemma, then at me, then at each other. "Okay, thank you. My name is David and this is Kiri."

Kiri. That had been the girl's name.

Gemma stood as we approached and held out her hand. "Hi, I'm Gemma. Welcome," she smiled. They smiled uncertainly back and sat. "Is this your first time?"

"In a manner of speaking, yes," David said.

"We're fairly new, too. It's a bit nerve-wracking at first but everyone's very friendly and, of course, we're all in the same boat, so to speak."

"Er, yes, I suppose so."

"I have to confess, I have an advantage," I said. "I know who you are." They looked startled. "In fact it's thanks to you that Gemma and I are here tonight." I glanced at Gemma, who nodded imperceptibly. "One of the best things we've learned here is how to be honest so, if you'll forgive me, I'm going to be quite frank. There's no pressure on anybody to do anything they don't want so, if I cause offence, please feel free to say so and leave. We won't be offended."

Kiri was looking quite intrigued, her father less certain. "Go on, Dad, it won't hurt to listen." He nodded.

"Good. Gemma and I were having problems and I didn't know what to do."

"Be honest, Dad," Gemma interrupted. "I was going off the rails and you were at your wits' end."

"That's certainly one way to put it," I said mildly. "Anyway, a friend, who was already a member here, brought me down. There was a public spanking session and you were the main attraction. I have to say I'm very glad it worked for you for you both look twice the people you did that night. You know you both had a lot of sympathy that night."

"I didn't know that," David said in surprise.

"Oh, yes. That's another thing we've learned - that many of the people here have been through the same sort of experience. They knew the pain you were both going through."

"Yes. I suppose so. I never thought of that. I suppose I was so tied up with my... our problems."

I nodded sympathetically. "Only natural. After I saw what you two were going through I really did wonder if I could put Gemma through the same." I smiled fondly at her and she squeezed my hand. "It was Felix who said, 'If you don't do it you'll regret it the rest of your life'. So I dragged Gemma along and the rest, as they say, is history."

Kiri was looking at Gemma with interest. "What sort of trouble were you in, if it's okay to ask?"

Gemma grinned. "Theft, vandalism, drugs, drink, you name it." David looked shocked. "Oh, I was only on the fringe of it. But two of the crowd are now in prison. If Dad hadn't rescued me, that's where I'd be heading."

I was immensely proud of Gemma's frank admission.

"That's scary," Kiri whistled. "With me it was sex - anywhere, everywhere and with anyone."

David was looking upset. "I'm still having trouble with all this. It seems too much like washing one's dirty linen in public."

"It's tough," I said. "When we started, I thought it was only Gemma who had problems but I've been forced to see that I had as many as she. It's been hard going but worth it. I've had to completely reassess how I thought of, not only Gemma, but my whole family."

"I like this man," Kiri announced. "How did you get from there to here?"

I kept silent. Gemma needed to answer this one. "Oh, you mean the sex thing?" she said. "When my Dad first dragged me along and whupped my ass in front of all these people, I hated him with a vengeance. You've no idea."

"Oh, yes I have," Kiri giggled.

"Right. At first it was just painful and humiliating. I dreaded Thursdays. But it got my attention. My bottom was really sore afterwards and I could hardly sit down for a couple of days. I used to hate going to school on Fridays. After a few times, though, I began to feel other things as well as pain. I didn't know what they were but it was sort of enjoyable in a horrid kind of way.

"Then a couple of other things happened and I began to realise that Dad was right. One day we had a real heart-to-heart and he said we could stop coming. As soon as he said that, I realised I didn't want to stop. It was very confusing. Dad knew what I was going through and made me speak to a girl at school who was also a member - she'd been in trouble, too, and her dad had forced her to come along. They've been members for simply ages and she even has a boyfriend here.

"Anyway, Hazel and I had a long, long talk and she told me all about the sex side. About how she got so turned on by being spanked and how lots of people did and it was all quite natural and all that. I realised that that was what I felt - I was getting turned on by the spanking.

"I'm sorry. I'm making a big meal of this. To cut it short, I persuaded Dad we should come back. I didn't know that he knew all about the spanking and sex and that this," she waved her hand around, "other side of the club. We met these really great people who were really into sex spankings and I've learned an awful lot about what you can do and different sorts of spanking and... it's great," she finished in a rush.

Kiri was looking most excited and even David seemed to relax. "And you don't mind?" he asked me.

"Mind?" I laughed. "I look forward to Thursdays as much as Gemma. I've discovered I get as much a thrill from doing the spanking as she does from getting one."

"Well, that's certainly blunt enough."

"I've discovered there's little point in being anything else," I said dryly.

"And then you have sex?" I nodded. "With..." he indicated Gemma.

"Good God, no. We swap partners."

"Oh." He was looking most uncomfortable.

I decided I had to find out what his problem was. "Would you excuse us," I said to the girls. "David and I need to have a talk."

"Mano-a-mano," Gemma chirped.

"Comments like that will get you a spanking," I said mock-severely, wagging a finger at her.

"Oh, goody," she beamed, bouncing up and down.

Kiri laughed. There was admiration in her look at Gemma.

I led David to a quiet corner. "Somehow I sense you're not quite comfortable with all this," I said.

"Is it that obvious?" he said ruefully. "No, I'm not."

"Care to tell me about it?"

He shifted nervously then seemed to come to a decision. "It's two things, really. If you were here before then you know why Janice, my wife, and I brought Kiri here. I'm having difficulty with the idea that, having brought her here to stop her having sex, here we are back again so she can have sex."

I nodded sympathetically. "And the other reason?"

He looked at me strangely. "You."

"Me?"

"Well not you specifically. Any man. It doesn't seem right that I should condone, even encourage her to have sex with a complete stranger, especially one, if you'll forgive me, who is so much older than her. I don't know if I could cope with that."

"Hmm. It's my turn to ask if you'll forgive me for I'm going to be blunt. Kiri is highly sexed, right?" He nodded reluctantly. "You know if she wasn't here she'd be somewhere else screwing her brains out." He flushed and tensed but nodded again. "So which is better - that she screws someone here, someone you can vet and approve of, or she picks up the first passing stranger that comes along?"

"Now see here," he said hotly.

I held up a pacifying hand. "I warned you I was going to be blunt. I'd still like you to think about the question. If it's any consolation, I've had to ask myself the same question and I know my answer."

He sighed. "Put like that I suppose there is only one answer."

"Quite. There is no other way of putting it. As to your second point, do you fancy Gemma? Is she attractive? Would you like to spank her pert bottom? Would you like to screw her?"

"How can you say such things about your own daughter?"

I grinned. "I'm being deliberately provocative, I know. David, you need to answer some hard questions, not to me but to yourself. And you need to answer them quickly. If you're not prepared for this you're going to have to leave. You can't be here under false pretences. Tell me, does spanking Kiri turn you on?" He turned bright red. "I thought so. Spanking Gemma makes me so horny, too. I'm always glad there's another couple around otherwise might not be able to control myself." He gasped and gave me a hard look. I nodded. "You need to face up to it. Kiri's an attractive girl, as is Gemma. Spanking is a very intimate act. It gets the hormones flowing and, when the gonads take over, rules and conventions fly out the window. Now, look at Gemma and make your mind up."

He looked across to where the girls were sitting. While he did, I thought about what I'd just said. I was surprised and my lyricism. Up until now I had never even consciously thought about the things I'd just been saying but being forced to confront David had suddenly brought them to the fore. I knew that, underneath, I had actually been aware of all this for some time, just never articulated it before.

"It's all a bit much to take in," he said at last. "D'you know if you can walk out of here and come back?"

"I don't see why not. It's a free club. Why?"

"I need to be alone for a while to think things through."

"That's cool," I said, borrowing one of Gemma's favourite words. "Speak to Felix. I'll keep the girls company." =+=+=+=+=+=
