The fear ebbed through my mind slowly as the pain of the restraints bit into my wrists and ankles. I knew that I earned what was coming to me, which made it all the worse. Disappointing Master is something I'm not meant to do. And now I was to punished for it.
Master had spent nearly half an hour tying me up. Making sure my body was perfectly symmetrical on the bed as I lay face down, right in the center of it. My wrists were bound with black rope to the headboard, and my ankles to the baseboard of the bed. Every time I pulled on one of my limbs in an attempt to ease the pain, the ropes tugged harder back at me. He left me laying there, waiting for him to get back with whatever instrument it was that he found suitable to punish me with. But Master knew the anticipation of the pain coming and not knowing what would cause it was nearly as challenging for me as actually being punished.
After several minutes alone, naked and fully exposed on the bed, I heard the door creak open and then close again. He was back. It was time to make up for all the bad behavior of the last few weeks. Cheeky slave. Snarky slave. Bratty slave. Nothing I ever wanted to be but somehow let myself become. I owed this punishment both to my Master and to myself.
I kept my face down and eyes shut as Master traced something cold and hard down my spine and across my ass cheeks. I had a guess as to what it was in his hand, but wouldn't know for sure until I was struck with it.
"So pretty for such a bad girl," Master spoke lowly. "Such a shame that you earned this for yourself."
"I'm sorry Sir," I whispered back to him, lips pressed against the bed.
"Are you ready, little one?" Master asked, though it was more a statement of preparation. He would be hitting me whether I was ready or not.
I nodded my head and held my breath as I awaited the first blow from the object that Master held. Hearing it whip through the air, my entire body flinched just moments before the cold, hard, flat surface landed across my ass.
Wooden paddle, I thought to myself. Nice for a playful spanking, but not so nice for my sore ass the next morning following a punishment spanking. Again and again Master struck my ass with it, each of my shrieks and whimpers growing louder as the blows landed on my ass that was becoming more and more tender and raw. One, two, three... five, ten, fifteen, twenty. I began to lose count. The ropes burned and rubbed my wrists and ankles raw as I tried to pull and squirm my body away from the smacks to no avail. I wouldn't be going anywhere until this was over.
Though the pain of the paddle brought tears to my ass and a stinging, lingering pain on my ass and the backs of my upper thighs, I knew that most of the tears were for disappointing my Master and not being the very best that I could ever be for him. Between whimpers, I told Master how sorry I was for disappointing him, that I knew I had been a bad, bad girl and that I would turn myself around to be everything he wanted and needed me to be.
"Please Sir! Please... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being such a brat. I'm sorry for knowing my place. I'm so sorry Sir."
