One of my favorite stories in Baker’s Dozen is “The Babysitter’s Daddy”. It’s just your typical girl-meets-older-man-and-tells-him-she-needs-a-spanking story, but I have a special place in my heart for it because it features one of the ones that got away. I think I also like it because the build-up seems very realistic to me. Behold:

I wasn’t completely vanilla. Back when things had been good with my wife, we’d experimented with tying her to the bed, and although it had been a couple of years since she’d let me do anything to her butt I remembered how much she’d loved it when I had.

But I’d never done anything like this.

“I mean…” I swallowed hard.

“You don’t have to,” she said quickly, pulling away and scooting over on the couch, out of reach. “I shouldn’t have asked, and–“

“No, it’s not that.” I got up and paced across the living room a little. “Just… I mean, I won’t… I can’t… if I use a belt or something I’ll hurt you, and I don’t want to–“

“No, you don’t have to, you don’t have to do anything.” She practically jumped up off the couch. “I’m going to go–“

But as she brushed past me, I caught her wrist and she turned. “Callie, wait. Please?”

She looked up at me — I was half a foot taller, even without shoes, and I hoped I wasn’t intimidating her. “Dan, I shouldn’t have–“

“I’ll do it,” I said, trying to keep my voice level. “If you really want to know, then I’ll do it.”

“You’ll…” Now it was her turn to swallow hard. “You’ll–“

“I’ll put you over my knee.” I hoped she couldn’t see how terrified — and somehow turned on — I was feeling. “I’ll put you over my knee, and I’ll spank your bare bottom.”

The book has twelve other stories, some with punishment spankings, some with fun spankings. You should read it, and then you should review it on Amazon or Goodreads. If you have Kindle Unlimited, you can even read it for free.
