Cari stands in the corner, ruefully rubbing her burning bum. She's just endured a prolonged spanking, face-down wriggling and protesting as her bare bottom was thoroughly smacked. Previous experience leads her to suspect the punishment isn't over.
"I'm not done yet, you're in a lot of trouble for forgetting Valentine's Day," says Cari's handsome husband, Miles, presciently sensing her train of thought,
Cari has a very different take on February 14th from most people. No slave to tradition - although there are some circumstances in which sexual slavery might appeal - she craves coercion, not cuteness, jeopardy and control instead of hearts and flowers.
"Wasn't deliberate," she pouts, untruthfully. "Anyway, it's a load of fluffy pink nonsense, just greetings card makers cashing in."
"Well, aren't you the romantic," Miles observes sarcastically. "No matter, you'll suffer the consequences."
Cari's adrenalin surges, her blatant provocation has started something, the problem being she's no idea what. This unspoken question is partly answered when Miles leads Cari to the centre of the room and has her stand, hands on head; these few short steps cause her tangled panties to slide down from knees to high heels. "Since you're unrepentant there'll be extra spanks," he growls, "on your thighs."
"Please, no!" Nothing is worse or as humiliating. At least her bum is accustomed to the impact of his hand - heaven knows, Miles spanks Cari often enough - whereas the soft, pale skin at the top of her legs is extremely tender. Oh dear, Miles hasn't begun and she's already blinking back tears.
"Back and front, count them out loud."
Cari's lips tremble, aside from shoes, she's naked from the waist down, shaven vulva embarrassingly prominent. No reason to blush, they've been living together for years, but the girl just can't help it. Cari's braless breasts are covered by a top so tight they render her prominently erect nipples very visible. Her buttocks smart horribly from the earlier 'naughty girl' chastisement, a marked (and marking) contrast to their customary fun spanking games.
Logically, she shouldn't feel aroused, but Cari's body unilaterally overrules her rational mind. If sweet nothings and cooing endearments make your heart soar, fine, Cari isn't the romance police, simply prefers her sexual encounters several shades darker. If she's going to flirt, let it be with danger. Why wait to be swept into your man's arms when he can forcibly bend you over?
Whack! An impact assails her left thigh. Back to reality.
"You seem to be having difficulty staying in the moment," observes Miles in a dangerously quiet tone.
"What?" A livid handprint decorates Cari's thigh. "Sorry, one," she adds, stumbling over words, belatedly recalling she's meant to keep tally.
"Just in time," Miles responds, punctuating the remark with another slap. Cari blurts out numbers in an increasingly anguished voice. When he finally pauses at 12, her upper legs are crimson and match her heat-radiating bottom.
"Ow," complains Cari, petulantly, hopping from foot to foot in a solo dance of discomfort, "so hot and sore." Demonstrably true - but not the full story. Miles' effortless authority, coupled with Cari's imagination, has kindled an altogether fire down below.
"You know the rules, behave badly, pay the penalty," Miles chides, soothingly stroking his partner's glowing globes.
