The Real Beginning

(NSFW Warning, TW for spanking and mentions of caning)

"y/n l/n, yes?" Ms Venable said from behind me.

I gasped, then turned around. "Ms Venable," I said, my hand on my chest. "I'm sorry, you startled me." The library was usually empty at this time of night. I paused for a moment, remembering her question. "Yes, I'm- I'm y/n l/n."

"You caught my eye earlier, y/n."

"How so?" I replied, looking back at the book on my lap.

Her cane struck the floor, a loud bang sounding through the library. I flinched, and she grabbed my chin. How did she get over to me so fast? "Look at me when I'm talking to you, Miss l/n."

"I'm sorry, Ms Venable," I whispered.

"You should be." She let go of my chin and sat next to me, placing one hand on my thigh. "I should cane you for being out here this late. You know it's against the rules."

I looked down, feeling blood rush to my cheeks.

"What did I say, Miss l/n?" She grabbed my chin again, much more roughly that time.

"I'm sorry, Ms Venable, it won't happen again."

"That's not what I asked. What. Did. I. Say?"

"You said- you said to look at you when you're talking to me."

"That's right. Do you want me to cane you, y/n?"

Truthfully? Yes, I did. I'd fantasized about it. I'd had dreams about it. I couldn't tell her, though. I shook my head. "No, Ms Venable."

"Really?"

I nodded, not breaking eye contact.

"Is that why I heard you moaning my name into your pillow last night?"

My jaw dropped.

Ms Venable smirked. "You weren't as quiet as you thought, Miss l/n. Or maybe you wanted me to hear. You know I check each night to make sure we don't have people sneaking around after hours. Is that it, darling? Did you want me to hear?"

I shook my head.

"Use your words."

"No, Ms Venable."

"And why is that?"

"I- It's embarrassing."

"Embarrassing? What, that you have a crush?"

I let out a breath that I'd been holding in for way too long and then whispered, "Well, I didn't want you to be... upset with me."

"Upset with you? Oh, honey, no. I'm far from upset. Pleased, actually. I'm still going to have to punish you, though. You're not supposed to be out here."

My eyes widened.

"Oh, don't worry, y/n. I think you'll like it." She stood up and walked over to the doors of the library. Just as I thought she was going to leave, she closed and locked them. She sat down again. "Stand up and turn around."
