Room 2D

By Anthony Vallance from Februs 20 Cherri knocked gently on Mr Smedley’s door and waited for the barked order before venturing to step into his office. Was he really going to hit the roof again? Her report on the Country Show had not gone down too well. Her bottom had been sore for days afterwards and apart from her spanking there was so little that she had been able to remember about the Show. It was no wonder really that her story had been short of detail, but really, she couldn’t very well tell people what had really happened to her.
