The ad read:
Is your fiancΓ©e an out-of-control Bridezilla? If so, we can cure her within one week, guaranteed.
Tony liked the sound of that.
Megan had been just hung up her cell phone after screaming down the line at somebody about the ribbons she'd been sent being burgundy, and not the mauve she actually ordered.
Well, Tony was sick and tired of all this wedding crap, especially his bride-to-be's attitude.
"I have a proposition for you," he told her.
Megan howled in pain as she felt the leather strap rip across her thighs.
* * *
How did I end up here? she asked herself.
She told him she wasn't going to any stupid Bridezilla training course, didn't have time with the wedding coming up, but he gave her an ultimatum.
Bridezilla school, or the wedding was off.
The strap fell again, this time across her thong-clad ass.
She hadn't meant to be so rude to the director of the school. She'd just fallen into the habit lately, what with all the stress of planning her wedding.
Whap!
"Ow! Oh, please!"
He ignored her and lashed her again.
Megan thought about Tony, sitting in some other part of the school, no doubt watching her punishment on some closed-circuit TV, and she felt nothing but shame and humiliation.
Crack!
"Please, sir!"
No matter how much she begged, the punishment continued, on and on.
At last Mr. Perry stopped lashing her.
"Go get into the corner," he told her.
She was about to pull her skirt down over the thong, which was part of the required uniform for the women here, but he ordered her to leave it tucked up into her waistband and get herself into that corner immediately or suffer the consequences.
She stood there for several minutes, her well-beaten ass-cheeks on display.
Megan was angry when Mr. Perry came across her and Tony arguing. The level of nudity here was shocking, and so were the signs of physical punishment many of the women displayed. She started in about how unnecessary all this was and Mr. Perry intervened, telling Tony his wife-to-be had a hot temper and ought to be taught a lesson.
Megan rounded on Mr. Perry, telling him to mind his own fucking business, and he instantly hustled her off to his office, dismissing Tony for the time being.
She heard the door open, but didn't dare look around from out of the corner until told to do so.
When she did turn around, Tony was standing there with Mr. Perry.
"I know this is difficult for you, my boy, but she has got to be taken in hand, for the sake of your future marriage."
Tony nodded, recalling what a royal pain in the ass she'd been ever since he was fool enough to propose to her. But he loved her deeply and wanted her to be his wife, so he was determined to go through anything he needed to for that to happen.
"It's your choice, Tony," Mr. Perry told him. "We can do this however you like."
He opened a cupboard that was hanging on the wall.
Tony had never seen so many disciplinary tools before.
There were paddles of all sizes and shapes, and riding crops, canes, even a flogger or two. He glanced at his wife-to-be and the fear in her eyes made him take pity on her; he chose the smallest of the paddles and seated himself on the nearby sofa.
