-Dr Isabella Pacetti's Notes:
To recap: Katy has hurt and degraded herself in order to show her devotion to Sophie, and she has been rewarded with a long-awaited orgasm. Now Sophie's mood appears to be growing darker, and she is taking Katy down to the cellar with a promise that she will howl in pain, something for which Katy has begged.
It is my habit to remind the reader that each of these women - Katy included - is a consenting adult. This is especially important to remember during the following scenes, which are the most truly sadistic in the whole story.
-Katy's Statement:
Sophie's long legs carried her swiftly ahead of me, and I struggled to keep pace on my hands and knees.
"Hurry up, please, you nasty little dog. I dressed like this for my own comfort and pleasure, not for you to perv over me."
I tried to increase my speed, and felt I ought to deny this accusation, not least because it suggested such disrespect.
"Miss Sophie, I promise I'm not... I wouldn't dare..."
Sophie turned abruptly and marched back to me until she stood behind me. I felt her foot curl over my bottom and then shove. I fell forward untidily, flat on my face on the kitchen floor, and with new excitement flowering inside.
"Shut up Katy. I'm not interested in your whining. Slither into your pit, where you belong." She pointed towards the stairs that led down to the cellar. She wasn't shouting, but her voice was powerful.
I began to crawl on my belly, as fast as I could, Sophie striding ahead of me once more. She waited for me at the foot of the stairs, arms folded. I carefully eased myself down the steps head first, painfully aware that if I tumbled now there would be no laughter. When I was almost at the bottom with my eyes fixed on Sophie's toes, she turned with an irritable sigh and entered the cellar. I squirmed across the floor, following Sophie to the Throne. She was seated by the time I caught up and I lay full length on the floor.
"Stand up, let me look at you."
I was shaking as I struggled to my feet. This was the first time I had been upright since my orgasm, and the sudden change in atmosphere from Sophie was disorienting. I couldn't meet her gaze.
"Ooh, something's made you nervous, hasn't it?" She grinned. "What's wrong? I haven't hurt you, I haven't threatened you, I haven't shouted... What are you frightened of?"
"You," I whispered, and even the word thrilled me. "You're starting to be a little crueller and I'm... helpless."
"I am. And you are," she purred. "But I'm still the person you were worshipping earlier. All the things we discussed remain the same. Do you trust me?"
In a way I couldn't describe, I knew this wasn't quite the same person I had worshipped. I still had the desire to worship, but now I also thrilled with fear, just a little.
"Yes, I trust you." And this, after all, was still true. "I'm not only frightened."
"Good girl. I think it's time to reconsider your costume. Take off your shoes and give them to me please."
I bent sideways and pulled the cheap black pumps off my feet, with some relief. I pressed them together and handed them to Sophie. She stood and moved close, holding the shoes behind her back.
"Katy, you're cowering. You're cringing. There'll be time and good reason to do that later. For now, stand up straight, chest out, head up. Lift your head like you're proud of yourself. Pretend you're a woman, with a mind and personality. It might be fun."
I allowed myself to feel stung by this, and I wanted to prove something, and this emboldened me. I stood erect and raised my chin, meeting Sophie's eye and holding my mouth firm. I tried to look defiant.
A smile crept across her lips. "Oh that's sexy," she whispered. "Don't move, stay exactly like that..."
She moved slowly, and I had time to see the soles of my shoes moving toward my face. She held a shoe in each hand and pressed a sole against each of my cheeks. She had a cold smile on her face as she gripped my face firmly and pushed my head around. The shoes scuffed over my skin, scrubbing like soft sandpaper. I screwed up my face and grunted, but didn't resist. This went on for a full minute, my face getting more sore and gritty all the time. It was a little painful, sharply humiliating, and yet... everything gave me pleasure. When I caught a glimpse, Sophie was pouting with a mischievous smile and chuckling silently.
The shoes went away for a moment, and Sophie licked her lips.
"Put on that sexy, dignified face again."
My lips were shivering with excitement and shock, and I knew my face couldn't possibly look dignified now, but I tried to resume my pose. Sophie laughed as she rubbed a shoe over my face again. My eyes were watering and I was breathing hard, and Sophie reacted by wiping the grimy rubber over my eyes and nose and pushing it between my lips. I let myself be overcome with confusing emotions. She was scrutinising my face all the while, and grinning.
She stopped, stepped back, and narrowed her eyes.
"Open mouth."
I obeyed and was not surprised to have my shoes placed in my mouth. I bit down to hold them, and stared dumbly at my tormentor.
"Filthy," Sophie mused, then turned and reached down beside the throne, lifting up the mirror. She held it up in front of my face, angled slightly so that I had to look up to see my reflection. My face was a mess, dirtier than ever and now scuffed with dust and grit from the shoes. My skin was sore and my nose and lips were rather attractive shades of pink. I felt a rush of pleasure and let out a breath which was part sigh and part laugh. I looked exactly as I wanted.
"Fank you Miff Fophie."
"You strange little creature. The things that make you proud." She returned the mirror to its place by the Throne. "But I'm disgusted by you. Because you're not dignified and you have nothing that a normal person would be proud of. Do you?"
"No Miff Fophie."
Sophie snatched the shoes from my mouth and dropped one of them on the floor. The other whipped in her hand and struck my cheek sharply. I gasped.
"No," said Sophie, "nothing to be proud of. And while you're getting your weird kicks from being filthy, you're not considering my feelings, are you?"
"Oh... oh... I'm sorry, Miss Sophie, I didn't..."
The shoe smacked me again, and I realised Sophie was only playing at being insulted. I started to enjoy myself a lot more.
"How can I kiss you, without dirtying my lips?" Another smack, and I said I was sorry, and meant it. I yearned to be kissed. "And I can't slap you without dirtying my hands."
Nevertheless, she demonstrated that she could use a cheap shoe to slap me perfectly well, and I thanked her. I much preferred her hands or feet to slap me, but I really didn't want to make her dirty.
"I can't even let you near me in case you soil my beautiful white clothes."
After the accompanying blow had stopped ringing on my skin, I whispered:
"Or your beautiful body."
Sophie called me a good girl in a voice that made it sound like an insult, and began a series of smacks either side of my face which seemed to show no sign of abating. I cowered, screwing up my face, whimpering and squealing, not daring to raise my hands to my face, but slowly crumpling to the floor and curling up. She leaned down and grabbed my hair, pulling my face to where she could slap it. In truth the blows weren't unbearable - and I suspected I was becoming tougher about this sort of pain - but the aggression made me shake and whimper. And now Sophie really was shouting insults and my body was electrified with a dirty erotic thrill.
"You little shit! Disgusting little slut! How dare you? How dare you make me look at you?"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please let me wash myself! Please!"
"In this room? You're in here until I'm finished with you."
"Yes Miss Sophie! I have some cleaning things down here! I won't waste your time, I promise! Please!"
She threw the shoe in my face and stepped away. "Get on with it."
"Thank you Miss Sophie." I crawled dizzily across the floor to the stone sink in the corner. I was aware that Sophie was walking silently beside me, and I felt cripplingly self-conscious. Sophie spoke softly as I filled the basin and took out a rough cloth and soap from a box beside it.
"Of course, you're disgusting anyway - skinny and pale and wriggling around on the floor. Cleaning your face won't help that. You'll always be fucking filthy. Spitting on you would demean me. Why do I waste my time on you?"
I grew hot with humiliation as I feverishly rubbed the tart soap over my face with shaking hands, feeling it sting. Yet I dared to believe that this sort of talk meant Sophie was turned on. I blew foam from my lips to answer.
"Because you're kind and generous. And lovely."
"Thank you, Katy," she purred, kneeling beside me and stroking my hair, making me squirm with pleasure. "You're pathetic. Breathe in, nice and deep."
I obeyed without thinking, and then squeaked in panic as my head was pushed down into the basin. My face was submerged in water, but I didn't struggle, and Sophie approved.
"Good girl. Don't fight me. Now, it's a simple game. As soon as you have removed your bra and your socks you can breathe again."
With wet, trembling hands I fumbled with the catch between my shoulder blades and desperately tried to remove the bra. It took too long, I was too unfamiliar with the process, and I began to panic. As soon as the bra was loose I reached back awkwardly to tug my socks from my feet. Even this took a frighteningly long time, and little gulps of air were escaping my lips by the time I was finished. Sophie didn't release me immediately, and I was almost ready to struggle when I felt my hair being tugged. My head was pulled out of the water, just a few inches.
