Summary: For everyone who asked on The Persuaders list; it's...



I don't know why I went to work today. It's not as though I actually did anything except contribute to Scully's growing certainty that I'm losing my mind. And what could I say? "Don't worry, Scully, I'm just nervous about tonight because my lover...oh, Skinner, didn't I mention?...is gonna beat me to a pulp." Now, where *did* she put that straight-jacket?

I pause outside his door, fingering his belt around my waist. Am I crazy? It's strange, I've never doubted myself with all the 'crazy' things I believe, but when it comes to relationships I'm never sure. It can't be healthy to allow your boyfriend to commit violent acts on you, can it?

He definitely enjoys it, and, to my shame, so do I. Does he need to dominate me? Do I need to be dominated? Are we both just acting out our unhealthy impulses?

I was never spanked as a child. Well, I was never really touched as a child. I remember an elicit thrill when my friends used to talk about being spanked by their parents. It is erotic when he spanks me. The sensations are sometimes overwhelming.

My cock twitches.

He left work early today. Like *he* has to prepare. I'm the one whose a nervous wreck. Who couldn't eat all day. Scully's going to start looking for a disease in the X-Files that only effects people on Fridays. He always spanks me on a Friday. So I can recover, so he can whip me harder. I know he enjoys having me like that. Over his knee or something else, exposed, vulnerable, defenseless. Helpless against anything he wants to do to me.

The image springs into my mind and I blush at the humiliating position I see myself in. I think of how he gets aroused just looking at me like that. I think of how, in those moments, all his attention is on me. My cock reacts at the thought.

I love it when he watches me. If this is what it takes then I'll do it. For him. I take a deep breath, and knock on the door.



I know he's out there. I heard his car, and I know he's debating whether or not to come in here. I know he's nervous, considering our relationship, just before a severe spanking it's always the same. He doubts us. Wonders if this is some way for me to have a son, and him a father who pays him attention. If we are unhealthy, crazy even.

I've never thought of him as a son. He's an intelligent, wonderful man. And, believe me, my feelings when he's writhing over my lap are as far from fatherly as possible.

I do enjoy it. By far the most erotic thing I have ever seen, let alone experienced, is to watch Fox Mulder when he's overtaken with sensations *I* have given him, whether pain or pleasure. And he enjoys it too. He doesn't know why, couldn't explain it if you asked.

He does recognize that he craves the attention, but he still thinks he does it simply for me. I do do it to punish him, to make him realize he's important to someone, to modify his behavior, but also because he needs it. He finds it difficult to admit how much he enjoys just letting go, lost in pure sensations, not having to think about his sister, alien invasions, responsibilities. Just lose himself in the feelings. To allow himself to experience.

But I know, and can give it to him. But I'm always nervous. At least as nervous as him. I took the afternoon off to just think things through. I worry that one day I'm going to push him too far, that he'll hate it, hate me. But to teach him how much I care, to take him where he needs to go, I risk it.

The responsibility for this falls on my head; he's passive at these times, and I'm active. If it goes wrong, it's my fault.

I take a deep breath and open the door.



He's always so calm, like it's completely normal for a guy to come over to his boyfriend's for a spanking. He talks all the way through dinner. It's strange. Usually I'm the chatty one and he's quieter, but on Fridays he fills the silences. Perhaps he's trying to keep me calm, to take my mind off it.

I eat every bite of dinner, although I'm not hungry and don't taste it. At this point I'm trying to take up time, put it off, and also I know that he'll make me eat it if I don't. We've been here before, and I don't want to make him angry. He clears the plates away. He always does everything on these nights, cooks, clears up, as I wait, my heart beating faster and faster. Finally he comes out of the kitchen and looks at me seriously.

"Upstairs, Fox."



I send him up in front of me, and I hear his quickened breathing. No matter how much he needs it, he's always afraid.

As soon as we're upstairs he turns to me, "Sir, this really isn't necessary. Next time I promise to think..."

"No, Fox. We agreed on this. I *will* make you understand how much it would hurt me if anything happened to you."

His eyes drop. This is one of our major problems. And, in truth, the main reason why we must do this. Deep down he doesn't believe anyone could really care for him (I swear if his father were alive I'd rectify that situation myself), and he doesn't believe just words of love. But I'll show him. With pleasure.

"Yes, Sir," his voice is small and he doesn't look up.

"Take off your clothes."

He begins to undress, his hands shaking, blushing furiously. Normally he's as comfortable naked with me as clothed, but in our uneven positions on these nights he's embarrassed by his nakedness, his vulnerability.

Finally he stands before me, naked. My breath catches as I look at him. He's so beautiful. Perfect. Flushed and trembling slightly, his naked body flawless, his eyes huge, his teeth worrying his bottom lip. I take a few moments to admire him *mine* and I feel his anxiety and embarrassment rise. I watch him, unable to take his eyes off my hands, as I reach down and remove my belt from his pants. His breathing becomes heavier and I watch his chest move. Finally I sit on the bed and motion him over my lap, I use his name to keep the intimacy between us, "Come here, Fox".



It's humiliating to stand naked and vulnerable in front of him, but even more so to bend over his lap. He arranges us as comfortably as possible, one warm, large hand at the small of my back, another spreading my legs to his satisfaction before resting on the curve of my cheeks. The exposure is unbelievable. Spread and naked, helpless under his hands, my bare bottom trembling, raised and defenseless, awaiting the first stroke.

"Why are you being punished, Fox?"

His voice is gentle, and so is the hand rubbing my ass. I know the reason, have been here many times before, so I answer quickly. "Because I put myself in danger needlessly." My voice is already breathless.

"That's right. And why is that such a crime?"

My breath catches, and for some reason, even though I know what he wants to hear, I can't answer.

"Because I love you." It's a whisper, and even though I knew he was going to say it, tears creep into my eyes, and I don't answer.

The first blow is from his hand, as I knew it would be. This intimacy, me so defenseless beneath him, requires nothing less. He always begins with his hand. I wonder if it's because he knows how helplessly erotic I find it. The connection of his warm, heavy hand on an intimate part of my body. My exposure and vulnerability to him, the knowledge that he is enjoying it, that he's focused completely on me, combine to harden my cock.

His hand strikes me again and again, and I feel my flesh heat underneath it. The sensation is prickly; it stings and I feel myself clenching my ass. He spanks me harder, the tender under curve of my buttock begins to be painful, and I realize I'm moving, trying to avoid the heavy hand. The prickly heat spreads through me, and I feel dizzy under the sensations and the exposure, my cock throbbing in time to the quickening beat of my heart.



He's so beautiful. Helpless under my hand. I don't know if he's aware when he begins to squirm, his rosy bottom dancing over my lap. Heat spreads through me as I feel his cock swelling against my thigh. I spank him harder, needing to reinforce the connection, and his movements become more pronounced. I smack his thighs, hearing him gasp as I concentrate on the tender area at the top where they meet his bottom, and the sensitive skin between his legs, close to his swollen balls. I feel arousal spread through me as he moans softly at the sensations I'm giving him. But this is not all about pleasure, and I increase the pace.

Finally I hear his breathing change and know he is crying. His bottom is red and squirming, futilely clenching and relaxing, attempting to protect itself and alleviate the sting.

I stop, rubbing his hot flesh, feeling his body quiver.

"Stand up, Fox."



It's hard to obey him, but I do. My face is surely as red as my ass, and I don't meet his eyes, unwilling to let him see my tears at just a hand spanking, and knowing it is far from over.

He arranges some pillows on the middle of the and pulls me over them, so my bare ass is raised and he parts my thighs to complete my exposure. He goes to retrieve the belt and it's humiliating to stay here like this. I picture myself; red, trembling bottom raised up, awaiting further punishment, my legs spread and the tender opening of my body exposed to view. I know he's watching me, enjoys me like this, and my cock surges again, despite my fear, even as humiliation sweeps through me.

He touches my throbbing cheeks, and I moan, softly. I want to plead with him not to do it, but I don't. Somewhere since starting I've come to accept this as inevitable.

"You are the most important thing in the world to me," he says softly, and somehow it makes more sense.

There is a warning tap of leather on my flesh, before it's taken away and returns, a streak of fire on my already sore buttocks.

I cry out in pain and struggle against the firm hand at the small of my back, holding me down. The belt falls again on the tender tops of my thighs and I begin to sob, writhing, trying to escape the pain as the belt falls again and again.

Soon I don't know how many times the belt has hit me, only that my bottom is on fire, and my throat sore, and the only other thing I am aware of is his incongruously gentle, steadying hand on my back. I'm crying, my emotions overwhelming me as well as the pain. Eventually, I stop struggling, accepting, and the hand moves gently up my back to my hair, caressing it soothingly and I accept the loving gesture easily, naturally, through the pain.

Finally the belt stops, and another hand begins to stroke me, accompanied by soothing murmurs I can't understand.



I know we are close to finishing when he stops struggling against me. He can't help the involuntary squirming of his scarlet buttocks, but he lies there accepting the lash, and leans unconsciously into my hand as I smooth his hair. Both of our erections are gone, but as he whispers my name as he lies there dazed, I feel my heart swell. I soothe him gently, murmuring nonsense until his sobs stop and he lies still.

I go into the bathroom and return with a cold towel some cooling ointment and some oil to finish our ritual. He hisses as the coldness touches his scalded buttocks, but settles as he feels the worst of the pain begin to leave. I move on to the ointment and rub it gently into the sore flesh of his bottom and thighs.

He's so beautiful, wearing my mark, now completely uninhibited under my hands, spreading his legs easily as I trace his crack with some of the ointment. At his low moans of pleasure/pain I feel my arousal return, and gently kiss the back of his neck.



The pain fades as he soothes me. I no longer feel embarrassed under his gaze and am simply grateful for his presence as he cares for me. Grateful *that* he does care for me. It's always a strange moment when I return to my senses following the spanking. Almost like returning to earth after floating, after being lost in sensations with only him to ground me, as he touches me all through it. I feel his concern and his arousal as he strokes me, his lips soft against my neck.

It's always like this when he spanks me, I go from arousal under his hand, to insensible under the pain, to arousal again when I return to find him waiting for me. Always tired but relaxed, the emotion drained from me, every nerve ending sensitive, every feeling purged. I feel my arousal returning as the pain fades, and, as he strokes between my cheeks, I part my legs wider. I feel so comfortable lying there, open, knowing he's with me, that he's been with me, that he cares for me. So much easier to accept now. My cock stirs as the heat spreads through me and I moan under his touch. His finger is slick and insistent as it presses into me and I push back, wanting to give him whatever he wants, wanting any sensation he will give me.



I've seen it many times, but it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful he is, exhausted, open, honest and replete, covered in sweat and trembling under my hand. I push between his hot, red buttocks and into his eager little hole, moaning as he pushes back into me. I stroke his throbbing, quivering bottom with my other hand as I push in another finger. He thrust back into me, taking more of me and rubbing his straining cock against the pillows. But I want more. I know we are never as close as we are right now, after a spanking, he's never as open to me, as ready to accept my love as when I've proved it to him physically. I spank him on Fridays, not just so he'll have time to recover, but also to take full advantage of our closeness for the weekend.

I turn him over gently, pushing the pillows up to fit under the small of his back and push up his knees to take most of his weight off his buttocks.

His face is still flushed and tearstained as he meets my eyes, but there is no trace of embarrassment or anger, and in his open face I read the love that he so often feels he has to hide.

I push my yearning cock against his hot, begging hole, feeling it spasm with need, and hearing him moan, trying to push down on me. I thrust inside his velvet heat, feeling him contract around me, hearing his guttural moan of completion.

I thrust again and again into his sweet, tight ass, his moans in my ear, and feel him grabbing my shoulders, pulling me closer. I reach between us and pump his hot, straining cock with my slick hand, and he cries my name as he comes, his muscles clenching down on me, pulling me along with him.

We lie there exhausted until I push myself up and look into his flushed, happy face.

"You know why we do this?" I ask him, solemnly.

He smiles sweetly back at me, as if he's never doubted, as if it's always been easy for him to accept, to say, "Because you love me."

And I know we have taken a step closer together.
