You've started to do commercial plumbing work already. Maybe this strategy would allow you to also do commercial HVAC work in the future. It could grow your company substantially."
"That's exactly what I was thinking! Great minds".
Their bonding was actually starting to make me feel a bit nauseated, to be honest. But there was not much I could do about it.
After I finished with Luke's feet, he said, "Well, no more delay tactics, prof." As if the humiliating foot massages were my idea. "It's time to pay the piper for fucking up on your diet. Neil, have you decided what implement you want your use on your buddy's backside?"
Neil laughed softly. "Not really. What are my options?"
"Come with me, I'll show you," said Luke. Then to me: "Go change into your punishment tights. The bright red ones. No shirt."
"Yes, sir."
When I returned to the living room, I was greatly relieved to see Neil holding the paddle and lightly striking it against his palm. Not that the paddle didn't hurt like hell, but it was far less brutal than the cane.
Luke said, "Prof, it's your lucky day. Your good buddy has decided to go easy on you. He was pretty impressed by your foot massage."
"Yes, that, and I know how to use a paddle. There was one hanging up on the wall of our frat house at Duke. I was on the receiving end of it once or twice, but fortunately I was the one using it more than feeling it," said Neil.
I stood before Neil in my tights, deeply ashamed. He peered down at my crotch and said, "So that's what one of those things looks like. I noticed the bulge under your yoga pants, but I've never really seen one on someone before. It's really small."
"He doesn't need a big one, trust me," said Luke.
"Better you than me, pal." Luke said. "Well, bend over that chair, I guess."
I caught Brooke's eye briefly, and the hint of a smirk on her beautiful face, before I bent over. I then felt the paddle resting against my ass.
Luke said, " After every stroke, I want you to say, 'Thank you for caring, sir. I promise to do better on my diet next week.'"
Neil efficiently administered the 12 strokes of the paddle, each punctuated by my humiliating expression of gratitude. While he did not hit as hard as Luke, he hit plenty hard. I was kicking legs up and down by the fifth stroke and tears formed in my eyes by the eighth. "Just go with the flow," I told old myself, trying to heed Brooke's advice. When Neil had finally finished, Luke ordered me to stand in the corner of the living room for 30 minutes with my legs apart and my hands intertwined behind my head. He pulled my tights down to just below my buttocks, leaving me exposed to the three of them.
"Nice work, Neil l. It's hard to tell what's redder, his tights or his ass."
I heard the three of them chuckling.
Then Neil said, "I just hope it helps Walter stick to his diet. Another twenty pounds or so, along with regular exercise, and he'll be fit as a fiddle."
Luke said, "What was the name of that stupid book by Crooked Hillary?"
Brooke said, "'It Takes A Village', and it wasn't stupid."
Luke said, "Whatever. But that's it: it takes a village to get the prof to stay on his diet and get in shape. Thanks for being part of our little village, Neil."
"You're pretty funny, Luke. My pleasure."
It was such a happy, supportive little village, I wanted to puke.

Anonymous28 days agoI’ve very much enjoyed your stories. Obviously, your writing brings out strong emotions and opinions. True , reading what the professor willingly endures is painful and puzzling. But so are many of the other genres on this site. Readers’ strong reactions, including those that are negative, are in part due to your writing skills. The fact that those critics continue reading your stories is further evidence.
In summary, my opinion: Please keep writing! You have a talent.
ChivalrousCuckabout 1 month agoAuthorThanks again for your thoughtful comments. Remember that it wasn’t just any employee who Luke picked to spy on Walter and Brooke, it was his younger brother Kevin (if you recall, the first chapter referenced Walter working for Kevin as a plumber’s assistant, so I had to find a way to get Kevin more involved). It does get better for Walter, to answer your question, but also gets worse for him, and for Brooke. I think what I haven’t done such a good job of conveying is that Walter is a true masochist. He endures what he does mainly for Brooke, but there also is a part of him that gets some pleasure and satisfaction from the humiliation he endures. I think some of those around him (Brooke certainly, but also Neil and even Luke) realize this before he does, but he comes to realize it more as time goes on. I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for reading it thoughtfully and for taking the time to comment.
Thatscleverabout 1 month agoContinuation because I accidentally hit post and I'm just going to keep on keepin' on.
I still think the Paul thing was too far but we'll see, I have faith in you. Though I do love how Paul kinda went down a checklist sort of interview, that was a really good choice.
Walter's mental health is clearly in decline. He behaves in an eerily similar way to long term battered housewives I've worked with in the past. And I encourage you to write the story you want to. Art has the ability to be challenging and it should be challenged. But I think part of the problem people are having with him is that he has made virtually no decisions (which more people should relate to honestly) other than not telling his only confidante that he is being blackmailed especially when they were discussing how Luke went too far. (With the stalking incident should have had more impact between Brooke and Luke personally. But it's not from thier perspective so who knows.) The other time was getting married. Sorry for the ramble there but my point is he needs a win. An actual win, every not awful interaction for him is good but also shame and a punishment of some sort. Throughout the story his character is almost exclusively being reinforced with shame, self loathing, and fear.
You have written something really compelling is the word I think and I hope you keep it up.
But if you would do me the favor and answer whether it ever gets better for him in aby way or us he just bound to the misery a person who is so afraid of being alone that they will destroy themselves for the slightest chance of gray in the encroaching darkness? Or keep me in suspense that works too.
Thatscleverabout 1 month agoSo I like it and I think my favorite moments are when the dynamic is being discussed. Talking about subdrop was great, it's a thing typically overlooked in a lot of stories and by even a lot of people in the community. Which makes me curious about how Luke responds to it.
Neil is weird that's really all I can say. A friend who is way too involved in your sex life and into degrading you without really ever actually acting like a friend at any point. Like kinda just coworkers who vaguely get along.
Now that we've gotten more of Brooke I like her for the most part. How she treats him is a little much. Not the abuse and femdom stuff that's kinda par for the course isn't it. It's almost any time he is in emotional turmoil she is either cruel or backhanded about everything she says. It just comes off as she actually dislikes his existence at times.
Luke is Luke, the using employees to stalk your partner is fucking creepy but that actually tracks.
