Both girls looked up at him with puppy eyes as he gave them his verdict. "No daddy, please" they said with pleading voices, "We're so sorry, we don't know what we were thinking. It will never happen again."
David looked down at his pleading little girls and his heart went out to them. They looked so sorry, so innocent. They looked up at him with tears in their eyes and he broke, completely forgetting his wife's words
"Okay girls I'll let you go this time. But this is the last time you lie or disobey me. Do you understand?"
"Yes daddy" they said obediently, "thank you so much". They were both so happy David was sure he did the right thing.
The weekend was over and the girls returned to school. The next two weeks went by uneventful. David would wake up early in the mornings like he usually did. He would make the girls something to eat and then enjoy his peace and quiet by reading, getting things done around the house and working out.
Throughout the week, the girls would either come home or go to a friend's house but in both cases they spent most of the time studying and caused their father no trouble.
David was glad the twins were behaving and told his wife so on their phone calls.
The first weekend passed by quietly, the girls keeping a low profile, but as the second weekend of their mother's absence neared, the girls started making bolder plans which required their father's permission.
It was Friday morning and all three of them were sitting around the table eating breakfast.
"Dad" Ashley started talking cautiously, "There is something we wanted to ask you."
"Go ahead" David said between bites.
"There is this concert that our friends are going to this weekend, and we were wondering if we could go too?" Ashley asked for the both of them.
"Where is this concert?" David asked.
"It's in Red Hills Park" Ashley answered quietly. It was a two and half hour drive to get there and she knew her dad would not like it.
"And when is it?" David asked.
"It's Saturday afternoon" Brooke answered this time, "We'll be home before curfew."
"Any age limit? Alcohol?" David kept pressing.
"No alcohol, it's an age 16 or older concert, most people there will probably be our age or younger" Ashley said. David didn't like the idea of them going to a concert that far but couldn't think of a good reason not to let them go.
"Ok," he finally said after thinking it over, "you can go." Both daughter cheered, and smiled, thanked him and gave him a kiss on the cheek before leaving for school.
Saturday came and the girls started getting ready for the concert shortly after waking up. Before they left they went to say goodbye to their father.
David eyed his daughters' clothes closely. They were both wearing knee high leather boots, short black skirts and large shirts with what he assumed was the band's name on it, Ashley's shirt in red and Brooke's in orange. David noted his girls looked much older than they were but was happy with the fact that the shirts they were wearing showed no hint of their teenage cleavage.
The girls left and David was left home alone where he passed the time until they returned.
A few hours later the girls were due back. David finished making them dinner and walked over to his study. He didn't have anything special to do, so he decided to lookup the band his girls went to see.
David searched the internet for the band's name and clicked on a link to their official site. He scrolled through the site and went over to their list of songs. He went over the list and did not recognize a single song. He tried listening to one and ended up stopping it in the middle. He kept reading about the band when he saw a link to all the band's next events. David clicked on the events page and up came the list of their next concerts with the details next to each one.
David's heart sank as he saw the details of the concert playing that day:
Playing at 5 pm at Red Hills Park
Admission: 21 and over
Free beer and shot with ticket purchase
David reread the lines 10 times and felt his anger rise. His daughters lied to him again, after they promised they would behave. This time he wouldn't let them get away with it.
As thoughts started running through his mind, David heard a car pull up to the house and park. His daughters were back. David quickly got up and walked downstairs, intent on punishing the girls. He sat down on the couch in the living room and waited for them to enter the house.
"We're home!" Brooke announced cheerfully as they walked in through the front door.
"In here" David called from the living room and the twins walked over to him.
"Hi daddy" Ashley said cheerfully.
"Hi" David said trying to calm down, "How was the concert?" he asked.
"It was really fun" Brooke answered and Ashley nodded.
"Good," David said, "How was the crowd? You know with all the 16 year olds?"
"It was fine" Brooke said. She looked at her sister confused then back at her dad.
"Good, good," David said, "I hope they didn't keep you from enjoying those free beers you got with the tickets."
"Whaaa…? Ho..?" the girls started mumbling as their faces turned red.
"You lied to me," David said to his daughters, "Again! You went to a 21 and older concert with alcohol, even though I specifically asked you about it." David was now raising his voice at his daughters. They kept their heads down and looked at the floor as their father yelled at them. "This time you're not getting it easy." he continued screaming at them.
"How long are we grounded for?" Ashley asked him quietly while staring at her feet. The words that came out of her mouth angered David even more. It sounded like she already knew what their punishment was, and although it was a reasonable one it didn't seem good enough to David. He thought back to what his wife said on the phone, "ground them, give them chores…", both those punishments didn't seem fitting, "Get creative…" she also said, "just don't back down."
As the anger towards his deceitful children along with his wife's words, went through his head, he suddenly thought of a punishment that he thought fitting, one that he brought from his childhood.
"I'm not going to ground you." David said quietly to his daughters and they looked up at him in surprise. "Both of you come here and sit on the sofa" their father said to them and they obeyed fearfully. When they were both seated they looked up at their father. "I'm going to punish you the same way my father punished me when I was young. I'm going to spank you."
"Come on dad…" Ashley said as the look on their faces became a look of contempt. They were sure he was joking and it only made him more intent on doing so.
"You first then Ashley, get up." David said and his daughter obeyed with an amused look on her face. David grabbed her hand and gently pulled her down until she was laying on her stomach on his lap.
"Really dad?" Ashley said and let out a little giggle, still sure her father was joking. David lifted his daughter's short skirt to expose her teenage ass, clad in a pair of white panties with flowers on them.
As he exposed his daughter's underwear, David was not exactly sure what he was doing. He never spanked his girls before and felt no joy in doing so, but they needed to be taught a lesson. David raised his hand and kept it in the air for a second before he brought it down to his daughter's butt, giving it a gentle tap. Ashley started laughing. David raised his hand once more and brought it down a little harder, but still it was only a playful slap and she kept laughing. On the third attempt, as he his daughter tauntingly laughed, David didn't hold back and smacked his daughter's behind with force.
"Ouch dad, that one actually hurt" Ashley said and stopped laughing. A second later, his palm came down even harder. The room filled with the echoing spank and Ashley screamed out in pain, realizing her father was in fact serious. "Aaahhhhh" she yelled again as her father's palm whipped her bottom once more.
"Daddy I'm sorry, please stop" Ashley called out before letting out another shriek of pain as her father continued to spank her. Tears filled her eyes as he spanked her a final time and she let out another agonizing cry. Only then did her father let go of her and help her up to her feet.
"I'm sorry it came to this." David said to his daughter, "Come on Brooke, it's your turn." he said looking up at his daughter.
"No daddy please don't" she pleaded with tears rolling down her eyes.
