I've decided to edit this story after a review that suggested it didn't flow well, with the first and third person perspectives. I hope you readers find this version easier to read and as enjoyable as before. Thank you all for taking the time to comment, send feedback and vote.

The rough floor bit into her knees and the lamp heated unforgiving against her flesh. She could hear Him breathing in the shadows, watching her, His eyes boring into her soul. She didn't dare try to seek Him out, didn't dare move, even though her knees ached and her heart broke. She knelt perfectly still, waiting for the rest of the punishment He guaranteed would be granted to her this night.
She'd always liked this room because she knew it was His and pleasure was always gained here, but tonight, it held an ugliness that she created. She hated herself for what she'd done, but she hated disappointing Him even more. She'd pushed too hard this time and now she had to pay for that. She knew this, but that didn't stop the tears from gathering in her eyes and crawling down her flushed cheeks.
She heard Him shift in the darkness, her head cocking toward the sound, but her eyes remained down cast. Her whole body trembled, almost afraid of what He'd come up with as her punishment. In her heart she knew He'd never do anything to truly hurt her, never break any limits He knew she couldn't handle, but this was different, this was a place she'd never been before and though she knew Him, she also knew what He was capable of.
He rose from the chair and slowly walked to the very edge of the shadows, continuing to watch her. His brows creased, jaw clenched. He wasn't sure what to do to make her understand this was no game. She'd defied Him for the last time. He had to teach her this valuable lesson. He slowly walked around her, keeping to the shadows, eyes always upon her. His thoughts fluttered and danced, thinking up the things that might teach her, casting them aside as quickly, only to think up something else. He stopped circling in front of her, hands behind His back, His voice bordering on a growl as He spoke, "Look at Me."
She flinched visibly at His voice, her head jerking up slightly, her tear filled eyes rising slowly toward His. She dared not speak, dared not plead forgiveness. She took a shuddering breath, and once more waited for His bidding.
He watched as her body flinched, and met her eyes easily, unaffected by the tears staining her face. He'd seen her tears many times. His deep voice carried to her, "What would teach you to not defy Me as you do, slut? Am I not your Master? Am I not the One that has taught you so much, opened your mind and body? Am I not the One that believes you can be more then you are? Am I not the One that took you into My home, cared for you, used you for My pleasure, and ensured your safety and your own pleasure? Tell Me, what you think would be a proper punishment for what you've done?"
