FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

 

“If you’re going to act like a lying little brat, you’re going to get treated like one.”


Luke doesn't like dating younger men. He thinks they're immature and irresponsible, and he doesn't have the patience for the games they play. And then he meets Tyler— a college dropout working to turn his life around.

Luke offers to pay Tyler's tuition, and unfortunately, he soon finds out Tyler isn't quite as mature as he appears. When Luke discovers he's been skipping classes and lying about his grades, he puts Tyler over his knee and gives him exactly what he deserves.

But is it really a punishment if he likes it?

“You know, I didn’t want to get involved with someone your age, because I didn’t want to have to deal with childish behavior. I was never interested in having kids for the same reason. Yet, somehow it seems like I’ve managed to end up with both.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means that for no reason other than to save your own skin, you tried to pull off a report card scam like a twelve year old.”

Tyler blushed so furiously he felt lightheaded. He wasn’t sure what to say.

“Come here, please.”

Despite how calm Luke sounded— maybe because of how calm he sounded, Tyler had no intention of going near him.

“Why?”

“I said come here,” Luke snapped. “Now! I do not want to have to repeat myself again today!”

Tyler was on his shaking legs in an instant, moving to sit beside Luke on the bed. But, Luke grabbed him around the hips before he had a chance to sit, locking him between his thighs, forcing him to stand uncomfortably in front of him. Tyler met his eyes for just a moment, looking down into the depths of Luke’s anger and disappointment, before he quickly looked away.

“It seems to me that you got yourself into some academic trouble somehow. Then you lied to cover it up, and when you got caught, you lied again. Does that about cover it?”

“Pretty much.”

“I can’t even tell you how ridiculous that sounds. You are twenty-four years old! And you printed up a fake report card like some troublemaking kid!”

With sure hands, he grabbed the waistband of Tyler’s pants and yanked him forward, unbuttoning them quickly and sliding them down past his narrow hips.

Tyler gasped, trying to twist out of his hold and pull his pants back up at the same time.

“Stop! What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

“You know damn well what I’m doing. If you’re going to act like a lying little brat, you’re going to get treated like one.”

“No. No!”

Tyler’s voice rose to the high pitched shriek of a child in mid-tantrum, and his face grew hot with anger and humiliation. He shoved hard against Luke’s broad shoulders, and was horrified at the ease with which he was restrained. Almost immediately, Luke had wrapped an arm around him, pulled him onto his lap, and situated him across his knees with his ass in the air, stunning him into momentary silence.

“I really can’t believe I have to do this, Ty. But you’ve brought it all on yourself.”

“Bullshit! You don’t have to do this.”

“Would you like to try to tell me that you haven’t behaved like a naughty little boy?”

Even as Ty struggled, he felt his cock twitch beneath him. Oh, fuck, this was not the time.

“I get it. You’re mad. I’m really sorry. But we can talk this out. Like adults.”

“We’ll certainly be talking about it. And I’d be thrilled if you’d act like an adult from now on. But first, you’re getting spanked for acting like a child. And you can stop trying to talk your way out of it. It’s happening.”

“No, Luke, please!”

But Luke already had one hand around the elastic band of his boxer briefs, and began working the black cotton down over his bottom, revealing firm, pale flesh, inch by inch. Ty’s heart slammed in his chest, and he felt sure the humiliation was about to give him a heart attack.

“God, Luke, stop! Don’t! I’m sorry!”

Luke brought his hand down hard on one cheek and then the other, quickly raising a bright pink flush across Tyler’s ass, his face blushing an even darker pink as he squirmed across his lap.

“You’re sorry you got caught, you mean. I gave you every opportunity to fess up, and you just kept lying. In fact, you’ve been lying to me for weeks now, and you’re a little too good at it for my taste. You know how I feel about lying.”

Tyler reached back desperately to cover himself and Luke grabbed him tightly by the wrists, adding a long, steady series of slaps to the first two.

Luke could feel the angry tension in Ty’s muscles, as he continued to struggle furiously. He knew how important Tyler’s pride was to him, and how damaging this kind of punishment had to be. But, it was his pride that had kept him from telling the truth, that had gotten him into this mess in the first place. In Luke’s opinion, it needed to be brought down a few notches.

It wasn’t a violent punishment. If anything, the spanking was almost gentle. The repetitive slaps built up layer upon layer of heat, until Tyler’s bottom was burning. Firm and rhythmic, back and forth, Luke spanked him until each cheek was red from top to bottom and his hand tingled. Finally, he let go of his wrists.

Ty stayed where he was, breathing heavily, waiting for more. Almost hoping for more. He was half hard, and not sure what to do about it. “Is that it?” he managed to ask, his voice hoarse and unsteady.
