“Mike liked the idea but questioned how we could accomplish it. He doesn’t want to hire professional actors for it as it would seem seedy and inauthentic. If such actors were recognized by potential customers as porn stars, it could do more harm than good.”

“Why don’t you do it? With Paul, maybe?” the still-suspicious Sally asked.

“I could. I would! … but my body is not as attractive as yours. I could see myself giving, but not being the one with the bare bottom. Plus, I don’t really know how Paul would react. He could easily become a problem.”

“How would it work? Is there play-acting involved, or just the action? Who would shoot it and where?” Austin said, firing questions at Deidre.

“Would people see our faces?” Sally chimed in.

“Okay, hold on! Let me try to answer! I’m open to suggestions as to what the video would actually show. I hadn’t figured on there being a script, mainly because we’re not actors. While I’m confident Sally could write a good script, I doubt we could read it without sounding like lame amateurs. Besides, it’s the use of the product that I think people would want to see, not a trumped-up, porn-like scene.”

“I agree! People would like to see the product in use and get some idea as to its severity. It would probably have to get harder as we go to reflect various intensities,” Sally replied, suddenly seeming interested.

“Exactly! It wouldn’t be just implements, either. We’re the product managers for all the Better Impact products, so furniture and clothing would come into it as well.”

“Clothing?! We’re going to be models?” Austin questioned.

“No, but we’ll use our clothing in the videos. So, a video for a paddle might also be for an appropriate outfit and even a spanking bench. I haven’t thought that far into it yet to figure out what products might go together. As far as seeing your faces? No! No faces! I’ve seen videos where people wore a face mask, like we used during the pandemic, only nicer looking. We can also blur faces in post-production if necessary. This is a good time to mention that you’ll be involved in editing and will approve the final video we upload to the site, so you’ll know what the world will see.”

Sally and Austin looked at each other, their faces revealing some interest growing, but there was still much apprehension left as well. They’d made a giant leap forward participating at the club as they had, but this was another huge step. It wouldn’t be just like-minded people observing them. This would be total strangers, their colleagues who consulted the online catalog when dealing with customers on the phone, and other curious co-workers who perused the website from time to time.

“I know you have no tats, Sally,” Deidre started with a knowing smile, “that could identify you, but what about you, Austin?”

“I have no tattoos, either,” he replied. “What about someone to shoot the videos?”

“I have contacted a videographer whose studio is about an hour away. She only shoots what is often called ‘light porn,’ which is usually just beautiful women undressing and dancing provocatively. She’s interested in the project if we move forward with it. I haven’t gotten far enough to decide whether we’d use casual furnishings as a setting or just the seamless backdrops they use for clothing modeling.”

Deidre stopped to read her colleague's faces. That they didn’t walk out right at the beginning was a good sign, and their questions showed concern, curiosity, and interest.

“What do you think, Love?” Austin said, stroking her cheek.

Deidre picked up on the gesture, realizing they were more than just sexual partners like she and Paul. Her hopes of possibly treating them as more than teammates suddenly seemed less likely to come to fruition.

“We don’t have to decide right now, do we? I mean, we’re not in any rush, are we?” Sally asked.

“Not at all! And remember, whether you do this at all doesn’t affect our new partnership on the Better Impacts line. You haven’t said whether you want to do that yet,” she said with a questioning look.

The smiles the two shared were all the agreement they needed.

“Yes! We’re in!” Sally finally said.

“Yes, and thank you for all you’ve done to make this happen! Though you may still end up with a sore bottom as a result of your spying!” Austin threatened idly to shared laughter.

“That’s great! Can I get a hug?” Deidre asked, standing and holding her arms out. The three joined in a celebratory hug while Deidre entertained visions of them both punishing her severely. 

They finished their dinner with friendly conversation and intermittently shared ideas for the product line, each with their own arousing thoughts as well. Deidre pictured herself bent over her desk while her two ‘kids’ (as she thought of them now) beat her bottom with every toy in the company’s catalog. Sally had pretty much made up her mind about the videos, looking forward to being able to see herself over Austin’s knee with a flaming red bottom. Austin had a thought that probably hadn’t occurred to Sally, but he figured Deidre might have considered it. They wouldn’t want to show their products being used only on women.

The announcement about the new product team was made as promised during a company luncheon that Friday. People they both knew and many they didn’t offered their congratulations, a few commenting on Sally and Austin’s ‘couple’ status in a friendly way.

The following Saturday morning found the three moving into new digs with the help of a couple of maintenance personnel. Deidre had her own private office that opened onto a shared semi-private space for Sally and Austin. They were still arranging their desks and personal items when Deidre joined them.

“How’re my ‘kids’ getting settled in?” she asked happily.

“Kids?” Sally questioned with a smile.

“I’m sorry. With what we’ve been through together, I kinda think of you two as my kids,” she explained with a maternal tone.

“That’s okay as long as ‘mommy’ doesn’t get too strict with us!” Austin replied to boisterous laughter, and though Deidre was amused, she also thought of ‘playing’ with them at the club.

“Wouldn’t you want your desks facing each other?” she asked, noting the back-to-back arrangement they’d opted for.

“This worked for us in the cubicles,” Sally explained. “I won’t be distracted looking at Austin’s handsome face when I’m trying to work.”

“And we’re just a short chair-roll away if we …” Austin started, but didn’t know how to finish.

“Well, just keep that ‘if’ to a minimum, if you can,” Deidre laughed. “I’m all done, so I’m gonna head out. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” she offered as a parting joke.

“That leaves it wide open, doesn’t it!” Sally quipped.

Deidre left, and an hour or so later, they were finished as well. They stopped at the door, looking back at their new office, and shared a jubilant hug.

“Everything’s really working out great here, isn’t it?” Austin asked rhetorically.

“It is! But …” Sally paused with an impish look, “I didn’t get my maintenance spanking on Wednesday because of our dinner with Deidre.”

“We should take care of that now, shouldn’t we?”

“Yes, Sir! How about a nice ‘walk’ in the park?”

“There’ll be many more people there at this time of day,” Austin warned.

“I know!” she said hopefully.

“I need to change clothes, but should we save a shower for after?” he suggested with a wink.

“Ooo! Yes, please! I need to change too, so why don’t you pick me up at my place?”

“Okay. Shall we get lunch before going to the park?”

“Ohh, do I really have to wait that long?” Sally pouted.

They went their separate ways, and less than an hour later, Austin picked her up in his convertible. He popped the trunk open for her to put her backpack in when she noted he also had one.

“You’ll see,” he said, leaving the explanation for later.

It was a short drive, and soon, they were walking hand-in-hand down the paved trail. Their backpacks made it impossible to have their arms around each other, but they made up for it with frequent stops for displays of affection. More than one park visitor suggested they ‘get a room.’

With an overcast sky and looking like rain was a possibility, the park wasn’t as busy as they expected. They talked about what would happen if it rained, not caring if they got soaked. Sally made a comment about ‘wet-bottom spankings’ hurting more, and Austin filed that bit of info away for their shower later.

When they got to their trail, they checked for other visitors before turning off. Quickly plowing through the underbrush, they found themselves again at the stump. Sally opened her backpack and began pulling the blanket out.

“Hold on!” Austin said as he removed a pair of pruning shears and a fold-up rake from his pack and began cleaning up their private spot in the woods. Sally sat on the stump and just smiled. It was just like him to make this place she found even more special for them. He explained that he’d borrowed the tools from the groundskeeper at his condo as he trimmed stray branches hanging in the way, cleared away some dead debris, and then raked some pine needles back to cover the ground around the stump. “Okay, you can lay the blanket out now.”

Before doing so, she cradled his face in her hands and gave him a sweet, loving kiss.

“I love you so much, Sweetie!” she said, kissing him again. “Now take me over your knee and spank me!”

The blanket was on the stump, and Sally was over Austin’s knee in quick order. He lifted her skirt and expressed surprise at finding her in panties.

“I know you like seeing me in panties, so I put them on for you, but please pull them down for me!? Ooo!” she squeaked with the first hard smack over her sheer panties.

He pulled them down slowly, his palms gliding over her perfectly smooth and unmarked cheeks, a week having passed since her last trip over his knee. The spanking began, with him mixing in a few two-handed caresses of his favorite cheeks. In addition to giving her the delicious pain she craved, he was going to be sure she had a few orgasms along the way.

“Mmm! I love the way you spank me, Sweetie! I like all the other toys we’ve tried, but I’ll always love your hand the best! Ooo, yeah! Spank me! Spank my hiney!”

He’d started concentrating on a single cheek with gradually increasing intensity when they heard voices approaching fast, and probably cyclists as they passed just as quickly. He resumed on the same cheek.

“You’re not a naughty girl today, are you, Love?”

“No! I just want a good SPANKING!” she said, emphasizing her favorite word. “I don’t ever want to go a whole week without one again, okay, Sweetie!?” she said as her hips rose and fell in sync with his hand, rising to meet a downstroke and falling in recoil.

“I promise!” he replied.

An even shade of dark pink covered her cheeks when he stopped for another ‘rest,’ which was just an excuse to caress her warm bottom. His left hand gliding softly over the rounded surface of her buns, writhing under his palms, accentuated the sting she loved, while his other hand slid down the inside of her thigh and up to her pussy.

“Oh God, Austin!” she cried when she felt his finger in her slit.

“Shh! Someone’s coming!” he warned, but didn’t stop with his finger. Passersby might hear the sounds of spanking, but not the squishy sounds of his finger between her very wet lips.

“Ungh! Ungh!” she grunted as quietly as possible as the walkers took their sweet-ass time moving on. “Holy fuck!” she cried when finally they were out of earshot, and Austin jammed his finger into her slippery slot at the same time his left hand resumed the spanking from above. Less than a dozen hard spanks later, she came flooding his hand with her juice, and he made of show of licking every last drop off his palm and each finger.

“You want more, don’t you?”

“Yes! YES! Spank me! And make me cum again while you do!”

Her thirst for his hand smacking her deliciously warm cheeks unquenched, he resumed at an intensity he’d bet she could take for hours. He’d become adept at making it hurt ‘just enough’ to sting, and while that pain grew, she never seemed to get enough as he timed the pauses perfectly to give her ‘just enough’ respite to want more and more when he began once again.

Wanting to make her cum again, he had her stand and bend over with her hands on the stump. He removed the panties that restricted her legs, and she spread them wide, hoping she knew what he was up to.

“Ow! Ooo! Oh God! Yeow! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!” she gasped as he switched between his tongue slithering through her slit and smacking her cheeks. She was just about to cum when he stood up, quickly shucked his shorts off, and buried his cock in her shiny, wet pussy with a stabbing thrust. “Oh yeah! Fuck me! Spank me!” she cried repeatedly as her well-primed pussy flooded with her milky honey.

“Shhh!” he warned when they heard approaching voices. Sally squeaked and whined, trying to remain quiet while he continued plunging into her frothing hole. Making it worse, he bent forward, squeezing her tits with one hand while the other flicked her clit mercilessly, and she struggled to remain quiet. Not only were they walkers, they were slow walkers, but eventually their conversation faded.

“Holy SHIT!” she cried when she finally let go, provoking Austin to do the same, pumping his seed into her dripping hole.

He pulled her up against his back, his cock now sticking in the cleft of her cheeks as they shuddered with seismic waves passing through and between them. She bent her head to the side as he started kissing her neck, holding his face in place with one hand while the other pressed his hand into her breast.

“Oh my God, Sally! That was amazing! I’ve never had to hold on like that!”

“Me neither! I thought I was going to explode! And you! You made it even harder with your hands on my tits and in my pussy! I ought to spank you for pushing me like that when you knew I couldn’t cum!” she said, turning her face toward him to just catch a flicker of … what? Interest?

“I’m sorry, Love! I don’t know about you, but that was an incredible orgasm! Why don’t you sit down and let me give you another one just like it!”

“I’m tempted, Sweetie, but the sky’s gotten awfully dark, and I think I hear distant thunder. We should probably get going. You can certainly try when we’re in the shower together!?” She said with a playful smile as she started folding the blanket. 

“Mmm, I can’t wait! Leave your panties off, okay?”

“Yes, sir!” she said as she stuffed them in the backpack with the blanket.

Austin put his borrowed tools away, and moments later, they were walking swiftly down the trail, feeling occasional raindrops that hastened their pace. About halfway back, they heard a loud thunderclap, and moments later, the sky opened up, drenching them both in seconds. They started running even though they were soaked to the skin.

Austin ran protectively behind Sally, enjoying how her flimsy skirt now clung to her body. Her perfect cheeks may as well have been naked as her sodden skirt flowed into every curve and contour of, to him, the most beautiful bottom in the world.

They giggled as they ran, though the sound of the teeming rain overpowered all but very loud exclamations. Nearing the parking lot, Austin fumbled for his key fob and unlocked the car before they reached it. They ditched the packs in the trunk and climbed in, looking like a couple of drowned rats with stringy hair and clinging clothes. They fell into each other’s arms, kissing and laughing, but when she felt his hand between her legs, she begged him to hurry home.

He started the car and drove out of the park, but that didn’t keep his fingers out of her slit, now quite wet for a different reason. At every traffic light, he’d devote his attention to her. She scooched down in the seat, pulled her skirt up, and spread her legs, moaning loudly and begging him to drive faster as the heavy rain beat a tattoo on the cloth roof.

By the time they’d pulled into his covered parking space, the rain had let up but not stopped. They grabbed their bags, ran for the lobby, and summoned the elevator. It seemed to take forever, but they were finally at his door, and they ran for the bathroom once inside. Austin turned the shower on to let it warm up while they stripped each other naked. 

Wrapped in each other’s arms and lips connected in a passionate tongue-tangling kiss, they stepped into the hot water; a welcome added stimulation. Austin knelt, kissing his way down her body licking tits and tummy on the way to her her slit. Sally turned around and, placing her hands on the marble-topped bench, offered herself from behind.

“Lick me and spank me!” she pled, arching her back to keep her pussy within tongue’s reach. “Oh God!” she cried as his tongue found her clit, and then, “Oh yeah!” when he spanked her, confirming that it did hurt more on a wet bottom. A couple dozen spanks later, she was cumming, leaving her whole body trembling.

Not missing a beat, he stood up and drove his ready cock home. Before the waves of the first climax had subsided, a second was on its way. Sally just held on as he pounded her pussy just the way she wanted it, and random hard spanks had her cumming seemingly continuously. At the point where she really couldn’t take anymore, she was relieved to feel his pulsing cock,

Standing, she turned to face him, putting her arms around his waist and her head on his chest, waiting for her body to calm. Quivers and quakes all settled, she tilted her head back, soliciting a loving kiss.

“I love you,” he said, wiping her wet hair from her face, and her gentle smile returned the sentiment.

They bathed each other slowly, sensually, while luxuriating in mounds of lather. He sat on the bench and had Sally sit in his lap while he washed her hair with fingers massaging her scalp.

“Mmm, that feels so good! You’re so good to me, Sweetie,” she sighed with a touch of melancholy in her voice.

“Why the sigh?” he questioned.

“I’ve just never been so happy! And part of me wonders whether I deserve it.”

“What!? Where is this coming from?”

“I don’t know. It’s just that whenever I’ve been really happy in my life, something comes along to screw it up.”

“Well, that’s not going to happen to us, Sally! I love you more than I can say, and that’s not going to change!”

“I love you so much!” she said as he pulled her in for a long, comforting hug with the no-longer-hot water cascading over them.

They exited the shower, and he toweled her off, wrapping her in the soft terrycloth while towel-drying her hair. After drying himself, he sat her on a vanity stool he’d bought just for her, scooped their wet clothes off the floor, and took them to the dryer.

When he returned, he found her lying in the bed, naked beneath the sheets, her semi-dry hair floating on the pillow. She pulled the sheet back, inviting him to join her. He slipped in and lay facing her, their eyes carrying on a long conversation. She rolled over after a quick, tender kiss to push back against him. There was no better feeling than lying in bed with him like this; naked, spooning, wrapped in his arms, and even feeling his dick between her cheeks. She dozed off for a while.

Austin remained awake, thinking about Sally’s worry but convinced there was nothing to it. He could stare at her angelic face while she slept for hours, knowing she was the best thing that had ever happened to him, and he wasn’t about to let anything change that.

“Oh. I’m sorry. How long was I sleeping?” she said as her eyes flickered open.

“Not long. My growling stomach probably woke you up,” he laughed.

“Oh yeah! We didn’t have lunch! Shall we eat in?” she said as she rolled toward him and pressed her naked body against his.

“Mmm, as tempting as that sounds, I don’t have much in the frig. We’d have to do takeout at least.”

“That’s okay. It’s Saturday, so we’ve got plenty of time. We’ll go out! My treat! Are the clothes dry yet?”

Sally dressed just enough to take her home to change, and they went to their favorite pizzeria. It wasn’t busy mid-afternoon, but they chose a remote booth anyway.

“What do you think about Deidre’s video idea?” she asked.

“I’m not sure. How do you feel about it? You’re the one who’s got the most to lose if we’re somehow unmasked.”

“Is that all you’re worried about? I’d want to ensure we had enough control over what shows and what doesn’t, especially our faces. The videographer will see us, but supposedly, she’s done a ton of these with naked women.”

“Yes, but they’re professionals and aren’t trying to remain anonymous.”

“I guess. It sounds a little exciting to me, though,” she confessed, her face matching her words.

“You won’t be happy till I’m spanking you in the middle of Times Square!” he said with a wry chuckle.

“I’m not that bad, am I? You liked what we did at the club! And your public speaking ability didn’t seem to be affected!”

“Sure, but I wasn’t the one who was going to have my bare butt spanked in front of all those people!”

“‘All those people?’ There were a dozen? Maybe twenty? And nearly all had done the same thing! We need to have an answer for Deidre. I’m sure she’ll ask us about it Monday.”

“She won’t mind if we ask some more questions,” he started, and seeing her questioning face, continued. “Like, how long will they be? What level of undress? Maybe meet the videographer? She hadn’t thought out yet what kind of scenes and to what degree there’d be speaking in them.”

“Okay, so if she asks on Monday, we’re not saying ‘no,’ but we’re not saying ‘yes’ either?”

With that agreed, they could enjoy the rest of the weekend together. Saturday night was another love fest involving only playful spanking, but they exhausted themselves, particularly their mouths and tongues, in Sally’s bed. Sunday was more relaxed as the day was spent outside just enjoying each other’s company, and only when they went to bed did they pleasure each other, giving gently as they made love.

For the second time now, they were getting ready for work together, going through their morning ablutions, though this time Austin made breakfast. Sally was impressed when he put a plate of bacon, eggs, and English muffins before her and sat down to have the same.

“So. Deidre. Do we ask to meet with her or wait …” Sally started when an alert went off on Austin’s phone.

“Oh! I forgot! I have a doctor’s appointment this morning!” he said, reading the alert.

He explained it was only his annual physical with his GP, but he probably wouldn’t get in until well after ten. He’d drive her to the office and go to his appointment from there.

Sally explained his absence to Deidre and began working in their new office. Deidre came out after nine and asked Sally to meet with her.

“So,” she started with them both sitting at a small meeting table in Deidre’s office. “The videos. I don’t need an answer yet, but there is one concern I wanted to run by you.”

“Shouldn’t Austin be here for this? We have some more questions we’d like to ask.”

“No, because I want to talk to you about him,” she started and saw Sally’s defenses go up. “Relax. You’ll understand. I promise.” She paused for a reaction from Sally, and after getting no response, she resumed. “Okay. IF you and Austin end up doing it, would it be all Austin spanking you?”

“Um,” Sally stalled. ‘How else would it be? Is she thinking about bringing in another person to spank her?’ she thought. “Uh, yeah. Did you have something else in mind?”

“Sally, when I heard you and then saw you, it was limited to him spanking you. Do you ever …”

“Oh!” she cried, suddenly understanding the question. “No. I’m the only one with a red bottom,” she giggled.

“Okay. See, having been to the club, you know it goes both ways, right? I mean, we don’t sell these products only for men to use on their women.”

“Oh. Yeah,” Sally acknowledged but remained quiet.

“I know this is getting personal, but I thought it better to discuss it just between us. Do you think he’d let you … you know, let you spank him? Given the one-sided nature of your play, is it something you could even do?”

“I’ve honestly never thought about it, although the other day, I did jokingly suggest I should spank him because of something he did. I only caught a quick glimpse, but he had a funny look on his face. Like he was considering it.”

“Alright, well, is this something you can discuss with him?”

“Wow. I don’t know. I’d have to find the right time to bring it up.”

“Take all the time you need. Again, we’re in no rush. Another thing to consider is if he’s willing but you don’t see yourself able to adapt to that role, you know I can do it. You know about Paul.”

“What? You spank Austin?” she said angrily. “That … that will never happen!” she finished.

“I’m sorry, Sally! Really! I’m not trying to … I don’t want to … listen, forget I mentioned it. You two figure out where we’re going with this idea, and let me know when you’ve decided. Okay? In the meantime, we didn’t have this discussion!”

Sally agreed and calmed down a bit with her apology. She wanted to tell her how much they were in love with each other, and she would never consider letting her lay a hand on her Austin, but she wasn’t sure if this was the time to share that information. She realized that Deidre was right in that the videos would have to show both points of view, and she’d gotten to the point where she really wanted to do the videos, but if it weren’t just her and Austin, they’d have to find someone else to do them.
