gentle spankings when they've had a long, hard day. when they come home, make sure they have a nice warm shower and something to eat and then get them into something comfortable, maybe shorts and one of your shirts. dry their hair and brush it out and then bring them to bed, laying them over your lap with a pillow to hug. play with their hair. run your hands over their waist and their back and their thighs. when they're ready, slip your hand under their shorts and spank them gently, just hard enough to get a little gasp out of them. massage the red mark where you hit them, pet them to calm them down, and hit them again. feel how soft their skin is, how comforting their weight is in your lap. hit them until they ask you to go harder. then you hit them hard enough that they yelp into the pillow. their skin will stay red between hits now, maybe it'll get a little warm too. soon they'll be whining and panting and flinching every time you hit them. they'll be telling you they're sorry even though you aren't spanking them as a punishment. tell them it's okay. if they start crying, let them cry into the pillow and stop hitting them. pet their hair, wipe their tears away. kiss their face. bring them to bed and hold them and tell them it's okay until they sigh and they're all better and they fall asleep in your arms
