Ask Jessica to assume the position. (Pink Trigger)

I took a seat on Jessica's bed, then beckoned to the young woman. Come on, now. Over the knee.

Jessica looked at my lap in stunned silence for a moment, then turned to my face, then to her mother, looking for someone to crack a smile or tell her I was joking. Natsuhi simply shut her eyes to avoid contact. It wasn't clear if that meant she approved of this, or just that she wasn't willing to override her husband's instructions.

The young woman finally stomped over towards me, stopping with her hands on her hips. "All right, let's be clear on something here! You're gonna get to do this for just a little while, and then, when it becomes obvious to everyone that your little 'secret western discipline method' is just a crock you use to put your hands on a woman's ass, you're gonna give me a deeep bow and apologize!"

Jessica, that attitude of yours is just digging your hole deeper. It's going to take that much more penance to climb your way out. Please try and show a little respect.

"Buddy, whatever happens here, I am never gonna respect you." Jessica crossed her arms defiantly.

Okay, sure. Just humor me a little bit. You don't have to give me too long... In a short time, I promise I'll fix that attitude of yours.

The young lady sighed, then climbed onto the bed... then crawled over my lap so her stomach was across my legs. I was tempted to just delay the first strike for a while. After all... doing that could get me killed, but doing this was a relatively safe and perfectly enjoyable experience.

Jessica seemed to understand this, and glanced back at me with a lack of amusement. "What's up, Mr. Player? Time's ticking. If my cousins show up and end up walking in on this, I really am gonna kill ya."

"Jessica!!" Natsuhi shouted at her daughter. "Please forgive her, Mr. Player..."

I'll forgive her, Natsuhi. I'll forgive her after I make her apologize...
