Life continued in Pete’s house. The springtime weather continued to get warmer as the days got longer until senior exams were upon the girls. Exams lasted for a week, but for the week before and the week of exams, Pete told the girls that their weekly appointments with him for private spankings were going to be set aside so that they could concentrate on their studies. The girls spent most of their time when they weren’t at classes studying or writing reports and the like, preparing for the semester’s end. Pete stepped up a bit, tending a bit more to the chores than he usually did to give them all a little slack. He promised them all something special the weekend after exams were over.
The Friday evening after the last exams, the girls went out clubbing. Pete went to bed early before they got home. Saturday morning, Pete slept in, but when he got up, the girls were still zonked. Pete shrugged and went down to do some yard work.
At around noon, Pete came in and saw Laura sitting on the couch nursing a large glass of orange juice.
“Good morning, Laura, or afternoon, I guess.”
Laura looked up and smiled weakly, “Hi, Pete.”
“I hope you and the other girls are going to be alright later on. I want to take the three of you out for a nice dinner.”
Laura perked up a bit and said, “Really? I knew you were talking about something nice, but I didn’t know what. We all just stayed out late last night dancing, so we’re tired, but I know I’ll be fine.”
Pete smiled and said, “Good. You’ll all want to dress nicely.”
Laura said, “Let me go tell everyone,” and rushed back into the house.
At about seven that evening the girls came down in very nice clothes and Pete took them to a nice steakhouse. They talked all evening about their exams and about their plans after graduation. Lana was graduating with a degree in electrical engineering and already had a job lined up and was raring to go. Laura was getting ready to take the LSAT and hoped to go to law school to become a lawyer. Linda was graduating with a degree in art history and didn’t say much about her plans. Lana laughed and said that Linda really needed to graduate with an MRS and Linda shot back a quick look, but quickly joined with Laura and Pete in laughter, defusing the moment.
They finished their dinner and went back home. The girls went up to go to bed and Pete went up to his room. As he was getting ready for bed he heard a quiet knock at his door and he opened it to see Linda standing in the doorway nude, with a pensive look on her face. He ushered her in and asked, “What’s up, Linda?”
“I wanted to talk to you. Lana and Laura have plans, but I don’t really have anything lined up.” She dug her toe into the carpet and looked away from Pete. He took a step closer and replied, “It’s ok, Linda. You can stay as long as you need to.”
Linda smiled and looked back into Pete’s eyes and said, “Thanks, Pete, but… I mean…” she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and then looked back at Pete and said, “I want to stay… with you.”
The two just looked into each other’s eyes for a long moment before Pete reached down and kissed Linda and she returned his kiss as they wrapped their arms around each other.
Lana and Laura each had one last private spanking from Pete that week and then made their goodbyes as they moved out and moved on. Pete and Linda had long talks about the future. He wanted to make sure Linda wasn’t missing out on anything staying with him, but she told Pete she loved him and wanted nothing more than to start the family with him that he was robbed of by circumstance. They rearranged the furniture, moving Pete’s large bed back into the master bedroom that the girls were sharing. Pete kept the rule in place that Linda had to be nude whenever she was in that other bedroom, but at least for the short term, they turned that room into a bit of an adult playroom. Whenever Linda needed a spanking, he sent her to undress and wait there for her discipline.
For her part, Linda threw herself into homemaking and art, using her art history degree to volunteer part-time as a museum docent. As for her spankings, she always felt a bit of trepidation heading into one, but she always felt better for having had one. She also got Pete to share her interest in the outdoors and he got them both bikes they used to go on rides together. Pete took her out fairly regularly to concerts, dinners, and all sorts of date nights. They did get the occasional double-take from folks who saw them, but they didn’t pay it any mind. Pete and Linda became each other’s world and that was all that mattered.
