A couple of hours later Noah was trying very hard to breathe through the small holes in the heavy, hot costume. How he’d let his pretty little wife talk him into this, he didn’t know, but he was going to spank the daylights out of her when he got her home! Nothing else would do for putting him through this.
Megan was proud of Noah as he started mingling and talking to the children. They squealed and wanted attention, or else they were shy and hid behind parents. She greeted Julie Ann and her grandchildren when they arrived, and it didn’t take Jeff long to come to help her with the kids.
“Where is Grampa?” Rachel asked curiously.
“He had to leave for a while, honey, but he’ll be back in time to eat lunch with us,” Megan promised her granddaughter while Jeff leaned down to whisper in Julie’s ear.
Julie Ann’s eyes filled with laughter, “I wish Jake was here to see this! Good thing I have my camera!”
“Please take a lot of pictures, Julie Ann!” Megan giggled as she watched the Easter Bunny mingle with everyone.
Julie Ann and Jeff took their children to see the Easter Bunny and get a picture with him, and Noah watched Rachel’s eyes grow wide as he spoke to her. She didn’t say anything, however. Soon it was time for the Easter Egg Hunt, and the company’s owner/President stood in front of everyone and welcomed them. He thanked Megan for planning an enjoyable family gathering for everyone and then asked the Easter Bunny to signal the start of the hunt.
Noah was fabulous in Megan’s opinion. He hopped around, helping the little ones find eggs, and within minutes the Easter Egg Hunt was all over, and the children happy and exclaiming over their finds. It was little Natalie who found one of the special eggs, and Megan was excited for her, even though she was busy making sure the caterers had everything they needed and once she was positive they were ready, she let her boss know so he could get the line started.
Noah rejoined her and they helped Jeff and Julie Ann with the little girls since Julie Ann was carrying the baby. They found a table for everyone to sit and Rachel said in a whisper, “Grampa, why didn’t you tell me that you’re the Easter Bunny?” She looked at Megan and continued, “The other kids in my class aren’t going to believe my Grampa is the Easter Bunny!” She was so excited she was about to burst. “That must be why you love Easter so much, right, Gramma?” she wanted to know.
Megan couldn’t help giggling, and then Julie Ann and Jeff were laughing, too. Noah growled softly and said, “Someone is going to get a spanking!”
Once the dinner was over, her boss called Megan up front and she handed him the Easter baskets for the families, and he passed each one out, and then praised Megan once again for all her hard work. Everyone was told they could stay and visit as long as they wished, and it was a couple more hours before the last of the guests could leave, and a couple more hours before everything was cleaned up to Megan’s satisfaction.
She was surprised when Noah drove her to a restaurant and ushered her inside. “You sit down now and relax, Meggie. I know it’s a bit early for dinner, but we’re going to have an early night tonight.”
“I have baking to do for Easter Dinner tomorrow, Noah,” she protested, and then confessed, “However, I am keeping it simple.”
“That is good to know. Don’t forget you have a spanking coming to you,” he lowered his voice to remind her.
“Noah, you can’t be serious!” She looked at him in surprise. “You had fun being the Easter Bunny, and just think, Rachel is so pleased to know what you really do for a living!” She giggled.
“Just keep it up, young lady. I’m going to enjoy spanking you when I get you home,” he promised.
Their meal was delicious, but even more delicious was the playful banter as she teased and Noah threatened. Megan knew he would probably make good on his promise of a spanking, but she was also positive she would enjoy the spanking very much. After they got home, Noah firmly ordered her upstairs and she ran ahead of him, ready to strip out of the dress she was wearing and put on something comfy. However, Noah had his own plans. He grabbed her and pulled her over to the bed, took a seat, and quickly turned her over his knee. His hand gave her a smart spank on her left cheek and then on her right cheek. “Owww!” she protested for effect.
“What do you have to say for yourself, young lady?” he growled in mock anger.
“That you make a very handsome Easter Bunny…?” She giggled, earning a couple more swats before he slid his right hand up her legs to push up her dress, and then that hand was lightly rubbing and squeezing.
“I’m going to enjoy spanking you, Meggie,” Noah said, his voice husky with passion. He started spanking, but the spanks were gentle, more like caresses. Of course, he increased the sting, but then rubbed, his hand letting her know this spanking was very sexual in nature. No doubt she would be tender tomorrow, but right now she was enjoying the spanking very much.
Noah enjoyed spanking for pleasure, and nearly thirty years with Megan had taught him exactly how hard to spank. It didn’t take long to bring her to orgasm, and he still continued to spank until she was writhing and in need once again. This time he wanted to feel the warmth of her body around him and he carefully flipped her on her back so he could kneel above her. Megan opened her arms to him, eagerly begging him to come inside her. The love in her blue eyes was just for him and Noah felt an overwhelming rush of love for his woman, the woman he would die for if need be. He entered her gently, slowly, savoring each moment as he claimed her.
Megan thrilled to Noah’s touch. He made her feel as though she was beautiful and precious and she wanted to give him every part of her, and she did. Afterwards, when they could breathe normally once again, she reached up to touch his cheek. “I love you with all my heart and soul, Noah Martson. I have no idea what I did to deserve you, but I am so lucky you love me.”
“I am the lucky one, Meggie,” he said sincerely. “You make life worth living.”
“Even when I am a brat?” she asked guiltily, wondering if he would spank her soundly tomorrow when she gave the girls their Easter Baskets.
“Are you in trouble, precious?” he chuckled, already knowing she was up to some sort of surprise for Easter. It wasn’t like his Megan to obey their daughter’s ‘no candy’ rule.
“Not yet,” she sighed, and then said, “I need to get busy, honey, but thank you for this. I feel completely rejuvenated now.”
“I feel lazy,” he admitted.
“Then take a nap if you wish.” She leaned over to kiss him before jumping out of bed and picking up her clothing from the floor to put it in the laundry hamper before dressing in sweats. She left her feet bare and went down to the kitchen to bake her Easter Bunny cake. While it was baking, she put together a fruit salad that needed to be in the refrigerator overnight before it was served. After that was done she busied herself dusting the dining room and the living room, and then she ran her Swifter over the hard wood floors. The house wasn’t really dirty, but with the children coming, she wanted to make sure there wasn’t dust everywhere, and she wanted to make a good impression on Carrie. It was the first time their son was bringing home someone he considered special, and she was positive there would be a wedding in the not too distant future. She wanted to like the girl Jacob chose. Hopefully she would fit into their family.
Megan took her cake out of the oven to let it cool, and then went outside to take care of one other matter that needed attention. What had seemed the perfect idea a few days ago was probably going to ensure a sore bottom, but it was Easter! She returned to the house, and mixed up some icing for her cake. She took a small portion and tinted it pink, and another bit she made green, and she got out candies to use for the eyes, nose, mouth, and whiskers.
Megan worked steadily and by the time she was finished decorating the cake she was pleased with the results. Noah came into the kitchen as she was loading the dishwasher. “I fell asleep!” he admitted with a sheepish expression. “Is there anything left to do?” he wanted to know.

br /> “We need to hide the girls’ baskets and hide the eggs. I don’t think there will be time after services to get it all done. They normally come here right after instead of going home.”
“Inside?” he asked.
“I think that works best, Noah,” she nodded. They had fun, putting eggs around the house for Rachel and Natalie to hunt, and even a few that Daddy, Mommy, and Uncle Jeff would have to help them find. Noah and Megan were careful to count the real eggs to make sure they were all found. Those would only be used for decoration since they were sitting out all night. Megan already had other eggs boiled and peeled, and waiting to be deviled tomorrow after sunrise services. They decided where to hide the Easter Baskets for everyone and wrote out a treasure hunt with clues to help the girls find their basket. The girls enjoyed that last year, and Jeff and Julie Ann had fun helping them figure out the clues.
Noah had to admit that his wife knew how to make even the simplest of things a lot of fun. He knew she would be at her happiest tomorrow, even though she hadn’t said one word about the minimum of candy in the baskets. Tomorrow would be soon enough to learn what she was up to, and she was up to something. He knew his Meggie well.
Sunrise Services were beautiful and the music wonderful and uplifting. Megan was in a wonderful mood and when the girls wanted to ride with Grampa and Gramma, they agreed, provided it was all right with Mommy and Daddy. Car seats were transferred so the girls would be legal as well as safe, and Jeff and Julie Ann followed them home, with little David tucked safely in his seat. All three of the children were wearing their new Easter finery, and Megan thought them adorable and advised Noah she wanted a lot of pictures. He promised.
When they arrived home, it was to find Jacob and Carrie already there. Carrie looked very nervous as Jake introduced her and Megan took an immediate like to her. Carrie was pretty and when she looked at Jacob her eyes were full of love. They bantered back and forth, and Carrie pitched in to help the little girls find the eggs.
Noah was pleased to see Megan smiling at Carrie and getting along with her, and Julie Ann seemed to relax more with each moment as Carrie quickly made friends with Rachel and Natalie, and she seemed at ease holding the baby, too. Jacob caught his Dad’s eye and smiled, giving him a thumbs up that things were going well.
Megan announced that dinner was ready and she smiled when she saw the table. Carrie offered to help and Megan asked her to set the table. “The table looks beautiful, Carrie, thank you,” she smiled, pleased that she’d used one of the decorations from the living room as a centerpiece.
The food was delicious and everyone had to laugh when Rachel wanted to know if Grampa was up all night hiding eggs and baskets all over the world. Julie Ann finally explained that the real Easter Bunny was too busy to go everywhere at the same time, so he had lots of helpers. Grampa was a helper for the party at Gramma’s work because the real Easter Bunny was so busy. Rachel seemed to accept the explanation and ate the rest of her fruit salad.
Once the dishwasher was loaded and the leftovers put away Noah announced it was time to search for Easter Baskets. He gave the children their clues and a glance at his wife told him to be prepared for whatever mischief she was up to. She was smirking and biting her lower lip nervously. Yes, Meggie was going to be bottom up before the day was over.
Megan giggled as the kids, with Jeff and Julie Ann in tow, went from room to room, searching for clues. Finally they found their baskets, but there was another clue inside the baskets.
Julie Ann read the clue and looked at her mother with wide eyes. “Mooooom! What did you do?”
“You said ‘not so much candy’, so I didn’t get much candy.” Megan smiled.
“Come on, Mommy!” Rachel called. “Let’s go look.”
“I’m afraid to go and look,” Julie Ann admitted, looking at her Mom once again.
Jake was openly laughing. “What is it, Mom?”
Megan smiled smugly. “Your sister said ‘no candy bunnies’, so I got real ones instead,” she announced, and then laughed when she heard the little girls exclaiming in delight.
“You have guts, Mom. Jules is going to be royally pissed.”
“You bought real bunnies for the girls, Meggie?” Noah asked, surprised. He should have known she’d do something outrageous to teach Julie Ann a lesson, and the girls were already in love with their pets. It would break their hearts if Julie Ann said ‘no’ to keeping them! It was unfair of Meg to put Julie Ann in that position.
“Rabbits, Mom?” Julie Ann asked. “What am I supposed to do with them?”
“They are cute and gentle, and see how nicely the girls are holding them?” Megan smiled again.
“I can build a hutch for them, Jules,” Jeff said calmly. “The neighbors three doors down have rabbits. I raised them in 4-H. It will be fun. The girls can learn how to take care of them, and keep them tame.”
“I don’t want them in the house!” she snapped.
“Why not, Mommy?” Rachel asked tearfully. “They’re so soft and pretty. Gramma, what is her name?” she wanted to know.
“You get to name her, honey,” Megan said with a smile.
“You did this because I said no chocolate bunnies!” Julie Ann accused.
“Well, it is Easter, and I wanted to give the girls a bunny!”
“They make stuffed ones, Mom!” Julie said, ignoring her brother, who was laughing his butt off.
“You told me that the girls had enough stuffed animals, remember?” Megan reminded her.
“Dad!” she wailed.
“The girls love their new pets. I’ll come over and help you build that hutch, Jeff,” he said, keeping a straight face with difficulty. Leave it to his wife to make her point. Next year Julie Ann would let her Mom enjoy Easter and just toss the candy she didn’t want the children to have.
“This is just the best Easter ever,” Rachel said happily. “Grampa is the Easter Bunny and we have real bunnies for pets! I just LOVE Easter! Don’t you, Mommy?” she asked and Megan couldn’t help giggling at the look of horror on her daughter’s pretty face.
Everyone went over to Jeff and Julie Ann’s home and the men worked outside to build a hutch. Jeff had building materials leftover from several projects around the house and within a few hours they had a nice hutch for the new bunnies to live in. Megan had already purchased enough supplies to keep the animals in style for quite a while, and Jeff was impressed that she knew what they needed. Megan explained that she also raised rabbits when she was a child.
Julie Ann gave her Mom a hug before they left and whispered, “I surrender, Mom. You just do Easter any way you please from now on.”
“I plan to.” Megan winked and then kissed everyone goodbye before they left. She also took the time to tell Carrie that she was welcome any time, and whispered in Jacob’s ear that she thought Carrie was just perfect for him. He gave Megan a big squeeze, and an emotional, ‘Thanks, Mom.’ Easter was perfect, she sighed… but it wasn’t over yet. She still had to deal with Noah.
Noah noticed how quiet Meggie was on the way home. She was chewing her lower lip, and it was easy to see she felt guilty. “That was some surprise for the girls, Megan,” he said.
“Yes… They loved the bunnies, didn’t they?” She smiled as she recalled their squeals of pleasure.
“Oh yes, and you had fun pulling one on Julie Ann, didn’t you?” he asking with a knowing look in his eyes.
“I know I shouldn’t have done that without asking her first, but Easter is once a year. There is no harm in one chocolate bunny on Easter! I felt like the girls were being cheated!” she explained.
“And you felt you were being cheated,” he added.
She nodded, tears springing to her eyes. “I’m horrid at times, Noah,” she confessed.
Noah didn’t want to spank Megan, mostly because he felt she was right, and because Julie Ann deserved a lesson, but if he didn’t spank his wife she was going to wallow in guilt until she did something outrageous to earn a spanking
. He pulled his car into the garage and then said firmly, “Get out of the car and go upstairs and wait for me, Megan. You need a spanking.”
When she didn’t argue, but hurried to do as he said, Noah realized he was right. He followed a bit more slowly. He really hated spanking her when he didn’t feel she’d earned a spanking. He would get rid of her guilt and then make the rest of her day special.
Megan knew Noah would spank the moment she came up with the idea to buy each of the girls a real bunny rabbit for Easter. She wasn’t going to fuss now that it was time to face the consequences. She was nearly undressed and reaching for her nightgown when Noah walked into the room. He sat on the bed, and when he motioned for her to come to him, she went without arguing. The first spank was little more than a tap… as was the second. “Noah?” she questioned.
“Do you know why you are being spanked?” he asked.
