It was a hot, hot summer day.
Not a cloud in sight and nothing but a rich blue sky. And the sun. The huge golden sun, beating down on David's back. The sun often looked a lot bigger on days like this. Many farmers and manual laborers would be able to attest to this, but David wasn't farming or working at all. In fact, as his back began to perspire and he felt trickle after trickle of sweat slide around the curvature of his back, the lats he had worked so hard to perfect, David was more preoccupied with the front side of his body.
His forehead on the pavement, his nose ground uncomfortably against the concrete, and his large, round pectorals and nipples that were so sensitive to even a slight shift in his position, all of these paled in terms of the greatest pain of all: the pain of his rock solid erect penis being held down by his own weight on the pavement of his backyard. He was aching for some form of relief from this pain, but he dared not lift his pelvis up even a bit, for if he was caught leaving this position he couldn't even fathom the consequences.
He was butt naked, and his entire body lay complete in contact with the ground, a position of perfect prostration. Many a monk or religious zealot would be envious of the reverence and devotion this man must exhibit towards whatever God or Goddess he worships. As if his prayers were answered, David heard the pit pat of footsteps and let out a mental sigh of relief as he heard his Goddess approaching. The Goddess he worshiped, the Goddess he loved and adored with every ounce of devotion he had. The Goddess whom he revered and served, and in turn who loved him, and took care of him and cherished him.
He heard the sound of something metallic being dropped against the pavement nearby and the pit pat of footsteps continued and then stopped. He felt a shadow across his back. The shadow of his Goddess. His Owner. His Wife.
"So," she started, "your penis must really hurt under there huh?" David almost shook his head but caught himself before doing so, knowing that doing so would compromise his position of utmost devotion. However, he had not been given permission to speak, and as such let out a weak confirming whimper, the kind of sound a dog makes when it begs.
"Mmmm," she smiled "Good answer." David felt her pat the back of his head with her shoe, the way an owner pats their dog's head when it has done something to please them, only she was patting him with the bottom of her foot.
"So, why don't you get yourself up on your hands and knees, and then you can tell me why you are laying here in this sorry position." Anna watched as her husband slowly moved his hands, and then pushed himself up off the ground while bringing his knees up until he was on all fours.
David could now see something other than the cracks of the concrete. In front of him he saw two feet facing in his direction, encased by two casual blue patterned ballet flats. From the beautiful feet (which he knew he would be adoring with kisses sometime in the new few minutes) extended two shapely calves. Slim, not muscular, but with a tiny bit of fat that gave them their nice curvature. Amy was never particularly athletic, and never really exercised much, but was one of those women lucky enough to have a naturally high metabolism that had given her a nice slim figure throughout her life. This was in fact a blessing, since it helped make her entire figure a bit more womanly and natural with the little bit of fat she had.
This was all David could see, and he dared not raise his head to look anywhere but down. This was the position that was expected when his Wife told him to get on his hands and knees. A position of subservience. The position of a dog.
"Well," he started, "I wanted to ask you about that Mistress. I have been contemplating it my entire time out here and I have no idea what I've done wrong to displease you like this."
"Ah," Anna replied, "And does it matter what you did?"
There was a silence. David wasn't sure how to respond.
"I ASKED YOU a question!" Anna snarled, "Dog."
"I guess...Yes Mistress? So that I may think about how I need to correct my behavior in the future while I am being punished for it?"
Anna sighed. David was an intellectual. In fact, it was his stunning intelligence that first attracted her to him when they were in high school together. Many of their peers considered him a genius. Even in this instance, he was right of course. The purpose of punishment is generally to condition someone to not behave a certain way. In the case of humans at least, if a person isn't aware of what they are being punished for, they won't know what to associate the pain of the punishment to and the conditioning wouldn't work. But that wasn't the purpose of this punishment. No, Anna had a different idea when she had decided to punish David today.
"Let me ask you this, slave" Anna enounced, raising her voice, "Who is the one giving you this punishment?"
"You are, M--Mistress" David said, the tremble in his voice reflecting his enlarging fear, realizing he had given the wrong answer, and knowing that when he gave the wrong answer while also giving a justification it only annoyed his Owner more.
"And do you deserve this punishment?"
"Yes, I do"
"And why do you deserve it bitch?"
"Because you are the one administering it Mistress."
"Right. So does the reason why you are being punished have anything to do with it?"
"No. Because my if my Goddess decides so then I am so eternally grateful to receive the punishment I deserve at her hands."
Anna smiled. "Good boy." She said with satisfaction. "You can kiss my feet now."
David's head dropped like lightning as he planted kiss after kiss on each of her feet. Anna had trained David to perfecting the art of kissing her feet a long time ago. The vigor and speed with which he kissed was reflective of how desperately he wanted to please her, but he couldn't go too quickly. He still had to make sure each kiss was deep and affectionate enough to please his Goddess, as she always preferred slower and more passionate kisses in all of their love making. Each kiss was deep enough to produce a nice puckering sound, and Anna heard sound after sound as she happily watched her husband revere her feet.
"That's enough," she said flatly. She couldn't let knowledge of her pleasure escape in her tone of voice. No, she needed David to stay scared, the real punishment hadn't even started yet.
David froze in the middle of his adoration and quickly raise his head back up, careful to keep it pointed down at the ground.
"Now," she said "I want you to follow me a few steps back, and place your head on the ground, so that your right cheek is entirely touching the ground." Anna took a few steps backwards, and David crawled forward on his hands and knees, his knees scraping against the rocky pavement.
As David turned his head and placed it down on the pavement, and he instinctively brought it back up but was immediately pushed back down again by Anna's foot, as if she had already known he would react this way. With everything that was on his mind he hadn't noticed how hot it had become outside. And the fact that his body had been covering the ground underneath him while he lay prostrate prevented the sun from heating the pavement David originally lay on. It all clicked into place.
But there was still one mystery. As David looked to the left with his right cheek against the searing hot pavement he saw the metallic object his Wife must have dropped on the ground earlier. It was a large bucket. But what was inside of it? David wondered to himself as he felt his wife grind her foot into his left cheek, pressing his face hard against the pavement.
He closed his eyes instinctively in response to the pain, the intense heat against right cheek. It was like the feeling when the water in the shower was so hot you flinch in recoil, but this time he couldn't turn the heat down. He had to stay in that burning pain his body so instinctively runs away from, his Wife's foot made sure of it. He couldn't hold it in any longer. He let out a sigh of anguish, "AUGH!" as he felt his skin burn.
Anna smiled and twisted her foot into his face even more, happy that her plan had worked just as she had hoped.
"Do you know why I'm doing this to you David?" She asked. Knowing full well that he could not answer in these conditions.
