Sarah's appearance was pretty much what you'd expect from someone seeking domination. From the top of her elaborately styled hair to the soles of her high-heeled designer shoes she looked like the business woman she was, and the severe dark suit reinforced the impression.
Terry, her dom, was less conventional in appearance. He was short and wore a shapeless tee shirt over his worn jeans. They were worn because of wear, not design and a flap of torn denim curled over his bare toes. Initially Sarah had almost walked out of their first meeting, but she soon found that he could meet her needs much better than any of the other doms she had used. She liked to be hurt, and Terry's arms wielded a whip with both strength and accuracy. He made sure she knew how much he enjoyed causing her pain, but theirs was not a Master/slave arrangement, he liked to punish her rather than boss her around, and Sarah felt she needed punishing for the way she behaved at work. Terry was the only dom she used nowadays.
The two looked at each other.
'Are you going to stand there forever, or are you going to take those ridiculous clothes off? I have a nasty surprise for you if it takes you less than a minute to get naked. Take your shoes off today.'
Sarah deliberately stripped slowly to earn the punishment he had in mind. Usually she kept her heels on while he whipped her. Terry said it made her bum stick out more.
Ten minutes later her manicured hands were tied above her head and her front was nestling up against the pole. The pole was full of knobbly protrusions, which dug into her thighs and breasts. She could feel Terry's eyes on her, although her back was to him. She shivered in apprehension.
Terry was enjoying the sight of her. At the moment she looked like an alabaster statue, her unblemished skin appearing to glow in the dim lights of his punishment room.
'That took far too long. Surprise coming up.' Sarah heard Terry open a cupboard door then close it. He knelt at her feet holding one foot carefully. She glanced down; he wasn't usually gentle with any part of her. He pushed a shoe onto her foot. Sarah groaned.
'Two more stokes for vocalisation!' Terry crowed.
The shoe's heels were at least two inches higher than the shoes she had been wearing, and the arch of her foot felt tight and cramped. The toes were pointed, squashing her toes and the shoe was more than a size too small, which was had caused the groan as he forced her foot into it and padlocked the ankle strap in place. The second shoe felt no better, but she managed not to wince.
'20 strokes plus two is 22.' Terry spoke as if to a kindergarten child.
He smiled as he watch Sarah's shoulders hunch in anticipation. He walked around her, letting her see the whip which was going to mark her. It was long and thin and flexible. Sarah shuddered.
'You ready for this?'
Sarah nodded.
'I asked if you were ready.'
'Yes, Sir.'
'Better. Two more strokes for reluctance.'
'Thank you Sir.' Sarah shuddered, but she knew she deserved it.
Terry kept off the first blow for more than a minute, teasing her and himself.
'Agh!'
Sarah tried to shift away from the blow now shining red on her back but the heels made it difficult.
Terry waited again before adding another blow, but the next was immediate. Sarah hated the irregularity of Terry's blows because it was impossible to anticipate them. At the same time, this made her punishment worse -- which was what she needed.
When fifteen welts glowed red on her back Sarah was hoarse from screaming, and her constant attempts to evade the blows made her feet as painful as her back.
'I'm thirsty. Back in a few.' Terry told her.
Sarah gave an inner moan. He liked to take his time making coffee. Fifteen minutes later he was back, sipping at the coffee and taunting her with the smell. She would have done anything for to get a sip of the liquid down her throbbing throat but knew better than to beg and earn more punishment. He settled in his chair, in watched her carefully for any signs of real distress. There were none. He hadn't expected them, Sarah was probably the toughest of his clients, but he had a duty of care which he took seriously.
'Ready for the rest?' He asked eventually.
'Y-yeah, please Sir' Sarah croaked, knowing what would happen if she didn't vocalise her answer (unless of course it was 'no').
He lifted a piece of cloth over her eyes.
'Only nine left. Are you okay with this too?'
'Yes, sir.'
Sarah liked it when he blindfolded her. Wearing a blindfold meant she surrendered any semblance of control, which was what she craved. She unwisely shifted her feet as moisture from her pussy started to run down her thighs, and came close to turning over an ankle as she swayed on the balls of her feet, causing Terry to laugh at her distress.
Sarah carefully counted the strokes. She heard rustling as Terry removed his clothes between the next five strokes. After the fifth landed she felt his hands seize her waist and she was turned until her back was to the pole. Usually Terry kept all his stokes on her back, but sometimes he liked to give her a few hits to her front. She realised today was one of the days. She did her best to stand tall and proud on the shoes, but her legs were shaking a little, partly from the strain of the heels, partly from fear of what she knew was to come.
The tension within her was allowed to build as Terry watched for her fear to show before hitting her four times hard in quick succession, two on each breast, above and below the nipple. The hits were hard enough to bruise. Tears ran down her face from behind the blindfold and moisture ran down her legs as she tried hard not to cum before he allowed it. He gave her four more minutes of unbearable tension before plunging deeply into her.
'You can cum now. You did well.'
Sarah was absurdly pleased by the praise of this man she employed. The orgasm was strong, and if it hadn't been for the rope holding her up, her knees would have buckled.
Terry gave an exaggerated yawn.
'Mm. I've tired myself out. I need a nap. Do you want to come with me, or stay here.'
He watched the conflict in her face as she made the decision.
'If I stay, could you turn me towards the pole.'
'Fine. I don't know how long I'll be, I'm very tired. You could have a long wait. Are you sure you want to do this in those shoes?'
Overcome by her orgasm Sarah had forgotten the shoes.
'Could I change them?'
'No. You asked me to punish you; this is part of your torment.'
'Yes, Sir. Sorry Sir. I'll keep them on.'
