Once the three kids were up the stairs Glen spoke through his teeth "my office now" he growled. The two men practically ran there. Glen slammed the door "SIT" he yelled at both of them
"Glen..." Zach started to speak, Glen snapped his fingers at Zach and glared at him. Zach stopped talking and waited for Glen to speak again. Zach had only seen Glen this angry a few times before but never directed at him. This was very unsettling to him. Thomas sat chewing his fingers nervously.
"This is unbelievable you two have been lying to this family for years. Do you have any idea how hurt I am that you thought so little of me that you hid this from me?" When the anger on Glen's face turned to pure pain, Zach and Thomas felt beyond guilty for not coming forth with the truth.
"I promise I didn't think little of you or Zach. I love you two so much I just didn't know how you felt about gay people and I didn't want to lose you. I didn't want to disappoint you. You're the only parents I have." Tears were running down his face, he tried wiping them away, but the floodgates had opened. Glen pulled Thomas into a big hug.
"Babe we love you no matter what. Love is love; it doesn't matter who it is. Never be afraid to tell me the truth, I will always support you. You're my little man, remember that" Thomas began sobbing at the old nickname that Glen used to call him.
"Thomas same goes for me. I'm really sorry you felt scared. I can see how my own lies had such a bad effect on you. If I had been honest about my sexuality, you would probably have felt comfortable telling us earlier. I'm sorry Glen I should have told you." Glen turned his attention to Zach.
"You're damn right you should have told me'' Glen snapped at him "why Zach, I thought we trusted each other?" Zach took a deep breath.
"Thomas I'm about to share something that we don't talk about very often in front of you boys," Zach spoke about what had happened when he was 12 and how 2 years later Glen saved him from that monster. Thomas got tears in his eyes hearing what Zach was put through that. He went on to explain that he thought Glen would blame what happened to him as the reason for his homosexuality. Once everything was in the open. Glen addressed the elephant in the room.
"You know if you two had been honest, to begin with, we wouldn't have to be here right now. You let your own fears about your sexuality keep you from living an open life. I understand your concerns but seriously both of you are smart enough to know I would never judge you like that. Again, I will tell you it really hurts you didn't trust me." Glen emphasized once more.
"Bottom line is both of you have been lying for way too long and I'm just mind blown at the extent of those lies" Glen looked directly at Zach. It made Zach look away from the disappointment showing in his eyes. "Let's get this over with, Zach corner, Thomas stand up" Zach looked at Glen like he had grown two heads.
"Whoa there Glen I'm 30 years old I'm not standing in a fucking corner like a child. I'll go wait in the living room" Zach turned towards the door when Glen jumped in front of him
"I'm perfectly aware of how old you are, and I don't care. Get your ass in the corner now!!" Glen's voice was low and slow, and Zach had to swallow hard, hearing the tone in Glen's voice was definitely scary even to him. However, being placed in a corner to wait for a spanking like one of the kids was uncalled for as far as he was concerned. Zach tried puffing out his chest a bit
"Not happening Glen be thankful I'm letting you spank me it's only because I want to set an example for the kids" Glen scoffed at his feeble attempt to disobey his order. Glen got right in Zach's face
"We have had an agreement for a long time about how we deal with infractions to the rules. I'm not going to argue with you about it. You are here because YOU lied, not once but dozens of times over the years. You will stand in the corner however since you've decided to fight with me. You can get your spanking first then go straight to bed. You will be staring at a corner in the kitchen while everyone else is eating breakfast tomorrow morning. Thomas gets in the corner, and Zach you are now going first." Thomas jumped from his chair and practically ran to the corner. Glen stepped away from Zach and folded his arms
"Everything down, over the desk" Glen was calm, way too calm for the way Zach had been behaving and talking back. Zach wanted to kick himself, why did he have to let his pride get in the way? He should have just stood in the corner like he was told to. Zach undid his jeans and pushed them down his thighs, he did the same with his boxers as he bent over the desk he noticed Glen hadn't taken off his belt yet. Zach cleared his throat
"Glen I'm sorry" Zach closed his eyes and waited for the impact that didn't happen.
"What are you saying sorry for?"
"Everything, the lying, the not trusting in you, and arguing with you about my punishment." Glen got it that this wasn't an easy thing to submit to punishment. But it was their understanding Glen had been over that desk not too long ago. He needed to teach Zach a lesson in humility so he decided he would do so before starting the real punishment. Glen stood next to Zach and placed a hand on his lower back. Zach realized what was happening and made a last fleeting effort to change Glen's mind.
"Please don't Glen, I'm really sorry. This is humiliating enough" Glen sighed "Zach you brought this on yourself" Glen finished his sentence by crashing his hand down on Zach's bare backside. Zach grunted but did not attempt to stop the onslaught of his backside. Zach began thinking how disappointed Thomas was in him. He set a bad example for his younger brother and now he's getting a hand spanking. Zach's eyes started filling with tears.
Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap Slap
Glen stopped the hand spanking as Zach trembled over the desk trying to not break down over the humiliation of getting a hand spanking. Zach looked up just as Glen reached into the file cabinet and pulled out the large paddle. This was only used on severe matters. Zach couldn't help whimpering as his brother brought the paddle over to the desk. "You're getting 50 with the paddle, I'm starting
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Zach broke down 10 swats into the paddle. Glen wasn't holding back, and Zach knew he deserved this punishment. If it had been the other way around Zach wouldn't think twice about using the paddle on Glen. Accepting that you were going to get punished was easy, the hard part was taking it.
Zach was sobbing uncontrollably Glen got concerned because he never cried like that during a spanking.
"Zach calm down you're going to make yourself sick" Glen rubbed his back.
"You didn't finish. I just want it over'' Zach spoke with a shaky voice.
"Maybe we should take a break. I don't want to go overboard" Glen told him sincerely. Zach shook his head no.
"Glen, I can take it. I mean it hurts like hell but I'm more upset about disappointing you" Zach explained. Glen sighed
"We still have 25 more to go are you sure you can take it? Glen was trying to give him a way out. "I'm sure" with Zach's insistence Glen held up the paddle and started again
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Glen helped Zach stand up and get his boxers back in place. Zach sobbed into Glen's shirt. Once he had calmed down Glen took the opportunity to talk to Zach.
"Z you know all of this could have been avoided by you trusting in me and in yourself. I would never define you by what you've been through, so you need to stop defining yourself. No one with common sense would think your being gay was caused by what happened to you as a kid. It's not a defect to love." Zach felt relief that Glen understood exactly why he went to extremes to hide his secret.
"Thanks for being a great big brother and role model. I love you Glen" Zach sniffled into his chest.
"I love you too Z, I need to sort out Thomas. Can you go check on the kids before going to bed?" Zach nodded as he pulled his jeans up hissing as they rubbed against his sore backside.
"Glen, please don't go so hard on Thomas, he beats himself up enough when he messes up?" Glen chuckled and rolled his eyes
"Duh, I know Z I got this" Zach left the two alone.
"Thomas, come here" Glen spoke softly. Glen felt his heart shatter as he saw the emotional mess Thomas had become. Glen held his arms out and Thomas crashed into them unleashing sobs.
"Hey it's okay Thomas, you're gonna be okay. We all love you so much. Follow my breathing so you can calm down" Glen took deep breaths and slowly let them out. Thomas followed and soon was much calmer.
"Am I a horrible person for hating her?" Glen had to think fast to catch up on what Thomas was asking.
"You think it makes you a horrible person to hate a person that has done nothing but hurt and neglect you? Absolutely not, it's understandable that you would feel that way. However, Thomas I need you to really understand that I and Zach will never ever turn our backs on you for who you love, there is nothing you can do that will make us turn on you. Please don't live in fear like that again. Promise you will come to talk to me or Zach in the future?" Glen pleaded with him.
"I will, I promise," Thomas whispered. Glen held him a few more moments before stating the obvious of what they were there for.
"We need to get this punishment over with. Can you get your bottoms down and get over the desk for me?" Thomas whimpered
"Can I go over your lap" always in need of reassurance Glen felt bad denying his request however the paddle was too big for him to safely use it as an over-the-knee spanking
"Sorry, buddy I can't do it over my lap this time. I need you over the desk"
"Can't you use something other than the paddle" Thomas pleaded. Glen pointed to the desk
"Get over this desk before I add on a week of bedtime spankings" he snapped a little harsher than he planned to a defeated Thomas. He pulled everything down and bent over the desk, Glen picked the paddle up and approached the side of Thomas, he could see him trembling slightly.
"You're getting 40 with the paddle, I'm starting" Thomas's breath hitched, the most he had received from the paddle at one time was 10 swats and those hurt horribly.
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
"Ow Ow Ow..... please stop" Thomas was already begging the spanking over
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Thomas jumped up and grabbed his bottom. Glen almost hit his hands "No no more I can't it hurts" Thomas sobbed as he stood there trying to rub the sting out.
"Get over the desk Thomas you know better than to put your hands back or to get up during a spanking." Glen scolded Thomas as he sobbed he made Thomas lay back over the desk.
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Sobbing and begging continued as Glen brought the paddle down hard on Thomas's backside
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Thomas jumped up again, this time Glen had enough. "Thomas Edward Ripley you get up one more time. I'm adding bedtime spankings for a week." Sobbing and still holding his throbbing bottom Thomas bent back over
"Move those hands before they get smacked with this paddle" Thomas slowly moved his hands from the intended target.
"You're getting 5 extra, stay put" Glen ordered.
Whack Whack Whack Whack
Whack Whack Whack Whack Whack
Glen threw the paddle down and pulled Thomas into his arms. Thomas collapsed in heaving sobs. Most of it was due to the pain but he was also crying out of relief that there were no more secrets between them. Glen was relieved it was over and they could move on from there.
