You're lying on the bed, face down. Every so often, you twitch, and the chains holding your wrists up to the corners of the bed jingle. I walk quietly around the bed, and just watch your anticipation grow with every passing second, wondering when I'll finally touch you. I bring the switch down on your ass, the thin wood whistling through the air, and making a satisfying smack noise when it hits your bare flesh. You jump a bit, and the chains do their job, holding you in place. A lovely red line has started to form where the switch landed, standing out bright against your pale skin. I back off for another minute. Then two. You squirm on the bed, not knowing when or where the next blow will fall, twisting your wrists in the padded cuffs, but also trying to hold still, knowing I have no patience for fidgeting. Knowing it will make your punishment worse, but also wanting it to be so. There's a swish and crack, and now another line of red, this one on the back of your thighs, just below your ass. You try to suppress a whimper- that one hurt- but it leaks out of your traitorous lips anyway. I pause in my walk around the bed. I ask you if something's wrong, and you respond immediately, as you should.
"No, mistress."
Two more stinging blows, placed on your back, so it looks like you've had a pair of wings removed. As the minutes pass, I paint on the pale canvas of your body, leaving stripes of pink and red as I move around the bed. You can't stop the whimpering now or the involuntary tears of pain that squeeze out of your eyes, no matter how hard you try to stop them. I take a step back, looking at my work. I place a cool hand on your skin, and your breath hitches in your throat. We're not done yet, and you know it. Its time to flip you.
You don't fight back, but help, and in minutes you're resituated, face up on the bed, chains and straps back in place. You squirm a bit to test the restraints, and wince as the sheets rub against your back, ass and legs. But you like it, and both you and I know it. And now I have a whole new canvas to work with. I briefly consider blindfolding you, but then decide against it. I like to see your eyes- the tears make them sparkle like gems. Not many people know it, but you're pretty when you cry. I tell you to close your eyes, and you comply. I'll tell you when you can reopen them. But for now I want you robbed of that sense. I want you just as off balance as you were before.
Again, I stalk around the bed, making you wait, making the anticipation grow. Once, I bring the switch down on the bed next to you, and smile as you jump, even though the blow never touched you. I watch as you try desperately not to open your eyes, knowing it will only get you in trouble, but wanting desperately to know where I am. I lift the switch, and instead of hitting you, drag it gently down your chest, between your breasts. Your eyes fly open at the change of sensation, and I grin at the look at your face as you meet my eyes. You know you're in for it now. I shake my head in mock disappointment, pick up the silk blindfold I had laying nearby. I tell you that since I obviously can't trust you to obey a direct order, I'll have to blindfold you myself. Before I place the blindfold, I see your eyes sparkle again with tears of shame. I know you feel badly that you disobeyed, and that you didn't mean to. But that doesn't matter. You disobeyed and must be punished.
I pick up the switch again, and watch the rise and fall of your breasts, quivering slightly with the tension in your arms, and the long lovely line your body makes stretched across the bed. I want to touch you, run my hands along the curves of your body, and watch you writhe against the sheets. But you've been bad. So first, you must be punished.
The switch comes down on your breasts, right above the nipples, drawing a cry from you. I wait another moment, to let the sting develop, then swish-crack, and another line appears, spaced and inch below the buds of your nipples. This time you do writhe a bit, and I know you must be feeling the stripes from earlier as well, since I make a point not to use soft sheets. I move down the bed, looking for a good spot to strike, listening to the music that your whimpering makes. I bring the switch down on the top of your thighs, and now I can hear the subtle shift in the noise you're making. You're not whimpering any longer. Now you're crying. The tears slide down your face, the ones not caught by the blindfold, leaving wet streaks on your cheeks, now bright red with shame. Only when you've been bad do I whip you in the front. I ask you if you've learned your lesson, and if you'll obey properly next time.
"Yes, mistress, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, please forgive me..."
