"So is there anything else you want to tell me before we start?"
"No."
"Okay then."
"I want you to go to the end of the bed and pull down your pants and underwear, and then bend over the bed."
"Okay."
"Hunter, maybe your mom hasn't taught you this, but the proper answer back is yes ma'am. Do you understand?"
"Um, yes, ma'am."
Hunter proceeded to bend over the bed. I went over to the closet and grabbed my paddle. I went back over to where Hunter was bent over.

"Sluffing will not be tolerated. The school doesn't condone that behavior and neither do I or your mother."

"Stay right here."
I went back in the closet and placed the paddle down. I grabbed one of Ryan's belts and then walked back over to Hunter.
"Your mother has no idea what to do with you. She doesn't think that she's getting her message across to you. If you do not straighten up, I am positive that your mom will be sending you back to our house again."

"Rose, I'm sorry. I can't take anymore. I promise that I won't sluff ever again."

"Stand up."
Hunter stood up and pulled his pants up. I grabbed ahold of Hunter's chin and positioned it towards my face.
"If I ever hear about you and Hanna having your hands all over each other again, remember that you will be over my lap paying a price for it. I am fine with you two dating, but have some respect for each other."
"Yes, ma'am."
Just then, my phone rang. It was Heather calling. I told Hunter to go sit in the living room so I could take the phone call. After he left, I answered.
