Life in their house continued along swimmingly. The girls came and went to school, Pete fixed dinner, and they all spent the evenings on their own. Friday evening came and after dinner, Pete reminded Linda of her upcoming appointment. Linda nodded as she headed off to the living room couch to study. Once again, shortly after 9:30, Pete retired to his room.
As usual, ten o'clock brought a knock on Pete's bedroom door. Pete answered, and to his surprise, Linda was not alone in the doorway. Laura was standing with her, also nude. Pete was taken aback momentarily.
"Laura, what are you doing here?"
Laura opened her mouth to speak, but Linda pre-empted her, "I asked her to come. Can we come in?"
Pete stepped back and ushered them both in. The two girls stood in the middle of the room while Pete went to sit on the bed.
Linda continued, "The reason I asked Laura here... Well... There's something about being spanked... with other people watching. I don't know if I can explain it, but it's so embarrassing being told to strip, then being spanked and then crying like a little girl. But the last time, when you put me in the corner while Laura was watching... And then Lana came in and they were talking about me... while I stood there with my burning ass showing and I couldn't do anything about it. My face must have been redder than my bottom! But as soon as you let me go, I had to go upstairs and... well..."
Pete finished her thought, "touch yourself?"
Linda's face turned another shade of red darker and she nodded, "I came three times. I knew after that that I wanted to be watched. I talked with Laura about it and she liked the idea too."
Pete asked, "Alright. I certainly don't object. Laura, please step over to the wall over there," he said, indicating a spot opposite him near the corner, "you'll be able to watch Linda take her spanking."
Laura stepped over to where Pete indicated while Pete continued, "I also notice, Linda, that you cry much more easily than the other girls when you are spanked. What do you feel about your spankings? Do you think they're too severe?"
Linda shook her head, "No, they're not too hard. It's not the pain that makes me cry, I don't think. Or... at least... not all the way. I think the humiliation is a big part of it."
Pete nodded and reached over to the nightstand and retrieved the hairbrush. He patted his knee and said, "Alright, Linda, I think it's time to start. Please come over here and get into place."
Linda nervously stepped over and placed herself over Pete's lap.
Pete began by pawing at her bottom cheeks, noting, "Remember, Laura, what her bottom looked like after her last spanking? All traces of that punishment have cleared up. Take a good look - I'll bet it will look very different in a minute." Linda trembled slightly as Pete said that. Laura craned her neck to get a good look from her vantage point.
Pete patted Linda's bottom with the hairbrush a couple of times, "Are you ready now, Linda?"
Linda quietly said, "Yes."
Pete began to swat her bottom with the brush. As Pete expected, it only took a couple of swats before Linda began to cry quietly. Pete paused after around a dozen. He turned to Laura, who had her eyes glued on her roommate. Pete spoke to her, "See, Laura? Her spanking has only just started and she's already crying like a baby." He gave her a half dozen firm strokes on alternate cheeks and her crying intensified. He paused and spoke to Laura again, "See? It's turning red, but we've got a ways to go yet."
He returned his attention to the task at hand and began to rain more painful swats on Linda's bottom. He continued without any let-up. Before too long, the small salt-and-pepper bruises were beginning to show and Linda was on the verge of hysterics. Still, though she tensed her legs, she stayed resolutely still for her spanking. Pete looked back up at Laura again. Her attention was focussed on the scene in front of her, but her hand had absentmindedly moved to her crotch, her fingers curled inwards.
