Based on the short story A SPECIAL TAPE by Kristi
My current boyfriend, Mark, likes to show me off. I enjoy being shown off. Two weeks ago, he told me that a couple of old college friends were coming into town, and couldn't wait for me to meet then. Of course, I agreed.
The Saturday they were scheduled to arrive, I selected my outfit with one thing in mind. I put on a pink, middy t-shirt with a decal of Winnie the Pooh on the front (smoking a joint with Tigger), a denim mini-skirt, high heels and nothing else. If I sat down wrong in a chair (or maybe just at all), you could see everything I had. It made me feel just like a slut and very sexy.
We met them at BWI airport. When Mark's friends arrived, he introduced them to me as Eddie, Bill, Terrence and Steve. No last names were mentioned and none were offered. But they obviously liked me.
"This is Mary Kay," he said. "Kristi, for short."
We all said hello and offered our hands. Terrence hugged and kissed my cheek. I actually blushed.
Taking them down the Parkway into Washington, D.C., for the next four hours or so, we gave them a tour of the town. Then we went out to dinner. And as Mark had expected, they couldn't keep their eyes off me.
After dinner, full, just a little bit inebriated--me, anyway--we headed back to the apartment, stopping at Blockbuster on the way. Just getting out of the car in my mini-skirt broke them out in a sweat. Steve tripped stepping onto the curb and Eddie ran into him. Mark just stood there and grinned.
Inside, I got Mark off to one side. "We're gonna watch a movie?" I asked. I was more in mind of a party.
"Uh-huh."
"A Blockbuster movie?"
"Uh-huh."
I looked over at his friends and frowned. Distracted by me and my mini-skirt, they nonetheless were picking and choosing loudly over what to watch. It made me want to retch. "Mark," I said. "Your friends are dorks."
I waited, wondering what he'd do. Two weeks before, in the Target store just around the block, he had upended me over something I'd said and spanked me on his knee. I had been wearing jeans, but the spanking still hurt.
He grinned at me.
"What?" I said, playing dumb.
"You think I won't?"
"I think you'll do anything you damn well please," I said truthfully. "Store full of people or what."
He shook his head slowly. "You're not drunk," he said. "And you're not on the rag. So either you're teasing yourself, Kristi, or you're just as dumb as you look."
That stung, but I took it anyway. I'm ditzy, I'm blonde and I'm stupid, yes--but I have never been dumb. I see girls blindsided by their guys all the time: cheated on, beat up at home, made fools of in front of their friends; whatever happens to me happens because I want it too. Even when it hurts. Yes, I'm a masochist and yes, I'm a submissive and sometimes yes, I'm a slave . . . but that's what does it for me.
Mark herded his friends toward the checkout counter while I went out and waited in the car. The guys jabbered non-stop about the movies all the way home. It was an eclectic selection. Eddie had insisted on the terror classic "I Spit on Your Grave," while Steve and Terrence had picked out the movie "Secretary," about . . . well, a submissive secretary. Bill thought I would enjoy a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean," which I actually would, but that was my little secret.
Mark picked up "Unfaithful," with Dianne Lane.
As soon as we got through the front door Mark grabbed my wrist and dragged me into the bedroom. "Hey!" I protested loudly, my heart beginning to slam. "What gives!"
The four guys, startled and still standing back in the foyer, the front door wide open behind them, didn't say a word.
"Shut the fucking door, will ya!" Mark shouted.
Eddie, jerked out of his paralysis, hurriedly slammed the door. "What's going on?" he called.
Still holding me by the wrist, Mark shuffled through the top drawer of my dresser, where he kept my things. Finally he came out with the handcuffs. "You'll see in a minute," he said, talking to Eddie but looking at me.
By now, the four guys had grouped together in the living room to watch. The bunch of them, like twelve year-olds given the opportunity to see one of their older sisters nude--or maybe even get spanked--were beginning to understand. Each wore an identical expression of embarrassed excitement.
Mark tossed my handbag on the bed. "Cunt-face here thinks you're a bunch of losers," he informed them matter-of-factly. "What do you think about that?"
Before any of them could reply, he whipped me around to face the dresser, put my hands behind my back, and handcuffed my wrists.
"Ow, Mark!" I protested. "Those things are tight!" This wasn't just a hollow protestation either. Made of hardened, plated steel, they were right off the law enforcement supply house shelf--and made for women.
"Tough shit," he said, roughly. "You dish it out, bitch, you learn to take it."
I would take it all right--right across his lap.
Dragging me out of the bedroom by my elbow, he guided me into the living room amongst the crowd. "She pisses me off a lot here lately," he said by way of explanation. "I need to discipline the bitch, let her know who's boss."
"Mark--"
"Shut up, Kristi!" he said. And then, "You guys are gonna enjoy this. Pull up a chair."
With that, he sat down on the very edge of the couch, took me across his knee and bared my rear end.
"No, Mark!" I cried, totally freaked out. Mark had spanked me plenty of times, in many different locations, with and without an audience, but never like this, never with his friends, not on my bare rear end.
He answered with his bare hand across my bare bottom.
"Yeoww!" I wailed, kicking out my feet. "Let me up, Mark! Owwww! Stop that!"
He hit me hard and deliberately on both my cheeks, left-right-left, one right after the other, quickly turning my bottom into a sizzling hot sunburn. I kicked and I screamed and I pleaded with him to stop, but he just kept spanking me, peppering me with taunts and with insults.
"You little tease! Think you can just strut your stuff around, any time you like?"
"Mark! Please!"
"You're a goddammed little brat! Mouthing off and making my friends look bad! Who looks bad now, huh, tease?"
"Mark, please! You're hurting my ass!"
