Book Description: Discipline can take many shapes and forms, and can be implemented in many different ways. Sports coaches have across the board been both celebrated and feared for the extreme measures they are often willing to take to help their teams succeed.

But how far is too far? Shane and Rob's teammates raise their voices in defense of their two beloved team captains as they meet Ms. Erica Flynn and learn just how far their coach is prepared to go to restore discipline behind locker room doors.</center>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>My heart raced and the click of my heels

echoed against the cement floor as I followed the security guard down the long

corridor. ‘Easy Erica,’ I cautioned

myself as my confidence began to fail me, ‘you are a professional and you still

have a job to do.’ I swallowed nervously as we came in sight of the locker room

door. ‘Right!’ My inner sarcasm exploded.

‘Nothing to be nervous about! For Pete’s sake, Erica, it is only the

league’s most revered quarterback and the star kicker involved here.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Why the hell should you be nervous?’ I

swallowed again and my heart pounded now against my chest.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Wait here,” the guard motioned for me to

stop as he opened the locker room door.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“That was the most miserable, embarrassing,

pathetic performance yet this season,” the admonishment came blasting through

the open door, “and with the way you

guys have been playing, that’s saying a lot!” The guard looked uncomfortably at

me and then entered the locker room and disappeared, letting the door swing

closed behind him. The words were muffled now but I could still hear, and the

tone by itself indicated that the team was getting quite a dressing down. I

sagged against the wall and put my hand to my head.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>‘They are still just guys,’ I tried to remind

myself, but my weak knees disagreed. Rob

had been my heart throb and obsession for months and the high energy with which

Shane approached and played every game had finally endeared him to me as well.

‘How many girls would kill to be in my position right now?’ I wondered.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> ‘Yeah, but how many of them would be up to

the job?’ my sarcastic self countered. <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>There was a pause in the stream of

chastisement coming from the locker room and a dead silence followed.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> ‘How the hell did I get myself into this?’ I

thought, but I knew exactly how it had happened.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> It had all started with a phone call.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>It was a quiet day in my NY based home office

and I was sitting at my desk reading a book.

I turned the page and looked up, sensing I was no longer alone.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Well, Timothy, come in,” I said to the young

man hovering in the doorway. He did so

with hesitant steps. “Back again so soon?”<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He shrugged and looked at the ground.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Well, bring it here,” I said, indicating the

tattered piece of paper he was clutching tightly in his hand.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Slowly, he approached the desk and stood

before me. For a moment he just looked

dolefully at me and I had to bite my lip to keep from smirking as I stretched

out my hand. Poor Tim.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He was twenty-two, recently married and

having some, well, a lot of trouble settling down.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I eyed him sternly as he continued to

hesitate. “Give it to me,” I commanded.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Fine,” he sulked, slamming the note

reluctantly into my hand, “but I honestly don’t see what the big deal is.” <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“The attitude will not serve you, Tim,” I

said as I unfolded the note. He looked

down again and I smiled to myself as I read. I was fond of Tim.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He was a good guy, with a good heart.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He was one of my few clients who really did

not want to be here. He didn’t want a

spanking. He came at his wife’s behest to keep his marriage alive.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He really loved her I was sure, and I didn’t

believe he was cheating. He just had a thing or two to learn about women and

acceptable marriage decorum. I highly preferred this sort of scenario to most

of the fantasy role plays that crossed my desk because I felt like I was

performing a much needed service, perhaps even helping to keep an ultimately

good marriage together.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“So Tim,” I looked severely at him, “you were

out all night again.” He raised his eyes briefly, but then looked down.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Look at me!”

Reluctantly he obeyed, flinching as our eyes met.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “What have you got to say for yourself?”<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Miss Flynn, it was just a guys’ night out! I

swear!”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Hmmm . . .,” I stood up and crossed the

floor to my filing cabinet. “Well,” I

said as I opened the ‘r-t‘ drawer and found Tim’s folder, “you are certainly in

hot water this time, Young Man!” I filed the note and turned to face him.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Miss Flynn, nothing bad happened! Please! I

swear!” The pleading began as I started

toward him.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Tim, you have to understand something.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I know you are not cheating, or doing

anything that you recognize as bad.

You’re not the type, and believe me, I know the type! You are a good guy

with good intentions, and I know you regard a night out with the guys as

harmless . . .”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Exactly,” Tim responded hopefully.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“ . . .and so it would be,” I purred, coming

up behind him and giving his bottom a little pat, “if it was occasional, or

just a couple of hours, or if now and then you invited your wife, but Honey,

you are out every weekend. You stay out

all night at least one if not two of the nights, leaving your young wife at

home by herself, paying her no attention and giving her very little of your

free time. Whatever time is left at the end of the weekend is spent recovering

from hangover and watching football.

That was fine when you were single, Sweetheart, but that is no way to

conduct yourself now that you’re married.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“So what am I supposed to do?” Tim

pouted. “Stay at home and never go out?”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Now come on, Timothy,” I rebuked gently as I

reached around him to undo the button on his jeans, “I just gave you several

good ways to compromise. That’s what

marriage is all about, Darlin’, compromise.

The problem is, you want things all your own way.”<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“What are you doing?” Tim wailed, becoming

agitated and grabbing my hand as my fingers moved to the zipper on his fly.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I am going to spank you, Tim,” I explained,

pausing to give him time to absorb the situation.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I know, but on the bare?”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Tim, you have been here enough to know how

this works. I have tried to be

understanding with you because I believe you are a good boy at heart.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I know that I have never yet spanked your

bare bottom, but you’re not learning, Sweetheart, so this time I’m going to

have to be a bit stronger with you. This

time, Young Man,<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I’m going to have to give you a right good

walloping!” I scolded, and I yanked Tim’s jeans to his ankles.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“But it doesn’t have to be on the bare,” Tim

started to cry and I felt a pang. This

was always the hard part. “It always

hurts so much, even over my jeans,” he sobbed.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Well, Sweetie, you should have thought about

that before you once again engaged in what you knew to be unacceptable

behavior. I warned you this would

happen. Come on now,” I patted his boxer clad bottom again and waited for him

to collect himself. It took a minute, as

he put his hand over his face, but finally he calmed down.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Giving his bottom a final pat, I guided him

over the desk, placing his hands flat against it and watching his fingers curl

around the far edge. I then went behind

him again to lower his boxers, and as my fingers brushed his bottom Tim’s whole

body tensed. My heart lurched as I saw

how truly terrified he was and I took the paddle from the wall, determined to

get this over as quickly as possible for him.

I could not make any more exceptions though.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He had to learn.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Timothy, this is for your own good.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> You’ve got to start taking your wife

seriously. She is not going to put up

with this crap forever. Sooner or later,

she’s going to kick you to the curb, and

I do not want to see that happen.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“She’s not going to divorce me,” Tim returned

bitterly. “Not as long as she can send me here.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Do you really want to take that gamble?” I

asked him as I positioned myself on his left side.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“No, I guess not,” Tim scowled.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I didn’t think so,” I replied softly.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Tim you were out for two whole nights

straight, the equivalent of twenty-four hours or more, so I will be giving you

twenty-four smacks with the paddle. I

want you to count them and I want you to remember how this feels because next

time it will be the cane and that will be even worse.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Do you understand me?”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Yes, ma’m,” Tim choked.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I sighed and placed the paddle firmly against

Tim’s bottom making it clench in anticipation.

I drew my arm back and WHACK! I

brought it down hard in the center of his bottom.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I was determined to give the kid a lesson he

wouldn’t forget this time.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Ahh! One!” Tim gripped the desk harder, but

his voice was steady. ‘So adorable,’ I

thought, ‘he’s trying to be brave.’ I raised the paddle again and I heard Tim

inhale. SMACK! <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“AHH! TWO!” Tim clutched the desk and his

knuckles turned white. SMACK! This time

there was a long pause and Tim squeezed his eyelids shut, fighting back tears.

“Three,” he finally managed. I paused to

let the sting take hold and then raised the paddle once more. SMACK!!<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“OWWW! OWWW!

Miss Flynn, Please!” I saw Tim’s

right hand leave the edge of the desk.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“AHH, AHH, Get your hands back on the desk!

No reaching!” I scolded. That brought

the complete break down I was looking for.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“It hurts, Miss Flynn, it hurts, please!” Tim

sobbed.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Of course it does, Sweetheart! It would be a

pretty useless spanking if it didn’t!” My heart melted just a little, however,

and I brought the paddle to my side for a moment, using my other hand to give

Tim a little of the rub I knew he was longing for as he fell completely to

pieces. “You didn’t count that one, Tim,

we’re going to have to redo it,” I admonished softly.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He just continued to cry. I hesitated, and

continued to rub a little more. ‘This is

fairly early for him to be this broken up,’ I thought, ‘and we still have a

long way to go. Maybe I need to take

things down a notch for awhile.’ <o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Miss Flynn?”

As I was thinking my protege’s voice penetrated my head, and I looked to

where she stood uncertainly in the frame of the door.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Yes, Veronique?” I replied irritably.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> She knew I was Robent about protecting the

privacy of my clients. Why was she

interrupting me? ‘This better be good,’

I thought.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I know, ma’m.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I’m really sorry,” she glanced uncomfortably

at Tim who was still trying to get himself together, “but he said it was very

important that he speak to you and only you.

He sounded very important and wouldn’t take no for an answer.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“What you should have told him was that I was

with a client!” I rebuked. “However,

it’s too late now. Here, you will have

to finish this.” I handed her the paddle on my way out the door.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “He is getting twenty-four and we are at

four, and Veronique,” I cautioned, “he really needs this so don’t give in to

any personal sympathies you may have.” Veronique was far too likely<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> to give in to her soft heart under any

circumstance. It was her greatest

weakness, and I knew she had a crush on Tim.

“Do you understand me?” I looked sternly at her.<span

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Yes ma’m,” she hung her head as she took the

paddle, and I headed down the hall to the reception area and the phone.<span

dejectedly behind me, and I shook my head as I picked up the phone.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I knew she would not disobey me though.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> It was Tim’s bottom, or hers.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>WHACK! “Ahh! Oh God, Four!” I heard as I

placed the receiver to my ear, and I smiled thinly, feeling satisfied that

Veronique would do at least an adequate job.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Miss Flynn, I’m glad I got you,” said the

masculine voice on the other line. <o:p></o:p>

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I’m glad I happened to be free, Sir.<span

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Well, I have a job for you, I believe, but

it is of a rather delicate nature. It will require the highest degree of

discretion. I want that understood from

the start.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Sir, I assure you, protecting the privacy of

my clients is always my greatest priority.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“That’s what I heard about you, that you’re

very professional. That’s a large part

of the reason I chose you.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Well, thank you,” I said, “but if you don’t

mind my asking, Sir, who are you? And what is the job you have in mind?”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Professional, tough and direct,” the voice

on the other end chuckled. “Those are

the other reasons I chose you.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“How can I help you, Sir?” I replied

irritably.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Well, first of<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> all let me tell you who I am,” he responded,

and I rolled my eyes. ‘That would be a

good start,’ I thought, as I waited for him to continue.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “I am the head coach for a very prominent

sports team here in the North East,” he went on.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “I do not think I will share my name at the

moment, but you may call me ‘Coach,’ as my players do.”<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> There was a long pause.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>‘Self-important bastard!’ “Yes, and what can

I do for you, Coach?” I tried to mask my

impatience, but I was becoming more and more annoyed with this pompous

ass. I could hear the sounds of Tim’s

spanking still in the background and Veronique was not timing her strokes

properly. ‘How many times do I have to tell her to let the sting settle,’ I

thought. I needed to conclude business

with this guy fast before yet another of Tim’s sessions became a waste of time.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Hmmm . . .how do I put this?” ‘Coach’

pondered. ‘Just say it,’ I thought.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “Well, my team has been lacking some basic

essentials in discipline lately, and I would like to hire you to restore them.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“I see,” I replied, feeling intrigued despite

myself. Silence ensued for another long

moment and my annoyance returned.

Clearly this guy thought he had just dropped some major bombshell. “And

should I assume, ‘Coach,’ that you will not be traveling to NY and marching

your team up the long staircase leading to my thirtieth floor office?”<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I was trying to be polite, but I couldn’t

keep the sarcasm from my voice. I half

expected the guy to hang up on me, but instead he chuckled again hardily.<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“An astute observation,” he finally

responded. “Yes, Miss Flynn. I think you

will do very nicely indeed,” he continued wryly.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “As you say, neither my team nor myself will

be making the trip to NY. No, instead

you will fly here. All expenses will be

payed of course, and you’ll fly first class.

I will have a car meet you at the airport, and we’ll go from there.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> I may want to hire you, Miss Flynn, for an

indefinite period of time, so we will talk salary once you arrive.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>I was definitely intrigued now and feeling a

little friendlier towards the guy since he hadn’t hung up on me.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> At least he had a sense of humor.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “All right, ‘Coach,’” I assented, “send me

the ticket and I will be on the plane.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“Excellent,” he replied.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> “I am looking forward to meeting you, Miss

Flynn.”<o:p></o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'><o:p> </o:p>

<span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New","serif";

mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New"'>“And I you,” I returned, and as I hung up the

phone I realized it was true. My

curiosity and imagination had been captured.

This would be an adventure. My

thoughts lingered only for a moment on the strange conversation.<span

style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Then I turned and walked back down the hall

towards the business of the moment. Right now, I had young Timothy and my good

for nothing assistant to deal with.<o:p></o:p>
