Ricky peaked his head around the corner. The coast is clear. The raccoon boy grabbed a stool and dragged it to the counter. He climbed up on it and reached for the cookies and sweets that he so desired.

It was pretty easy for Ricky to get the sweets today as his step-sisters were with their birth mother this week and Ricky's mom was at work. This left him with his step-father, who had the day off. Ricky and his step-father have not been getting along since Kyle married his mom. He had never had a father figure in his life and didn't like Kyle budding in.

"Ricky! What are you doing?!" said Kyle as he grabbed the sweets from his stepson, "You know that you can't have sweets without asking. No dessert for you tonight."

"Aw come on! Don't be such a wet blanket!" shouted Ricky as he reached for the candy again.

"No Ricky. The candy will ruin your appetite for dinner and you know your mom doesn't want you eating a lot of candy." lectured Kyle as he put the sweets out of reach, "Plus this whole stealing thing has to stop. You know better than to do that. Raccoons get stereotyped for stuff like that and it's not true. No son of mine is going to be a thief. Now go stand in time out and think about what you've done."

"You're not my real dad! You can't tell me what to do!" yelled Ricky as he refused to move from the stool.

"Ricky, I may not be your birth dad, but I am your father now and I care about you. I want you to make the right decisions. Stealing and disobeying are not right and you know that." replied Kyle, "Now, I'm not going to ask you again. Go to time out young man."

"No! And you can't make me you stupid dog!" refused Ricky.

"Fine. If you don't want to go to obey, we'll try something else." decided Kyle as he pulled Ricky's pants and underwear down and bent him over the counter.

"Wha- What are you doing!?" asked Ricky nervously.

"I'm giving you something that you've had coming for quite a while young man." answered Kyle as he landed four swats on Ricky's bare bottom.

*SWAT**SWAT**SWAT**SWAT*

"OW! OW! That hurts! Owie!" shouted Ricky as the spanking started.

"You do not disobey me, your mother, or other adults when they tell you to do something Ricky!" lectured Kyle as he landed four more swats.

*SWAT**SWAT**SWAT**SWAT*

"OWIE! OK! I get it Kyle! I'll be good! OUCH!" yelped Ricky as he started to tear up and his butt started to turn red.

"You will not steal either. It is never ok and you're better than that." continued Kyle as the punishment continued.

*SWAT**SWAT**SWAT**SWAT*

"WAaaahhHHh...I'll be good! I'll be good!" cried Ricky as his bottom was on fire.

"Lastly you will not me disrespectful to me or your mother. Is that clear?" asked Kyle in-between swats.

Ricky just nodded his head.

Kyle then pulled Ricky's pants and underwear up, picked Ricky up, and sat down on the stool with Ricky in his lap. Ricky bawled into Kyle's chest as Kyle embraced him. Ricky has not been spanked since he was a toddler so this is really a first for him.

"Ricky, I don't like to punish you. I want you to make good decisions and learn from your mistakes. I want you to grow up to be a great young man." said Kyle soothingly.

"I-I'm sorry K-Kyle...I didn't mean all t-that. I just wanted some c-candy an, an I shoulda asked..." sniffled Ricky as he rubbed his butt.

"It's ok bud. I forgive you." said Kyle as he gave Ricky a big hug, "Now there is still no dessert for you tonight, but I think we can skip the time out and play some video games. Whatdoyasay?"

"Yeah!" said Ricky excitedly as he hopped down and ran to the other room to set it up.
