She'd been in position for hours. Never knowing from one day to the next what time He would be home, she always made sure she was where He expected her to be when he walked through the door. She'd missed one day. Just one. And her arse cheeks clenched and her pussy wanted to curl up inside her at just the thought of the punishment session she'd endured for that infraction.
Her knees had long ago gone numb after what felt like hours of agonising pain shooting through them. Her nose was squashed to the floor, her shoulders cramping at the unnatural position her hands were forced into behind her back. She was ready to worship at His feet the moment He stepped through the door.
Her pussy was dripping after her prescribed number of edges-twenty-one today-and she longed for the touch of His hand she was almost certain He would deny her. Her place was at his feet, her only focus His pleasure. He would have thrashed her for the mere thought of her own selfish pleasure, had He had access to her thoughts.
Her eyes were beginning to shed tears that had been gathering for a good half an hour when she heard the rattling of a key in the lock, and all she could do was hold her position and hope it was Him and He hadn't decided to give out His keys to random friends and tradesmen like He had in the past, simply to humiliate her.
She heard the door swing open, her eyes focused intently on the hard wooden floor that had been torturing her knees for so long. She wouldn't lift her eyes. She wouldn't even allow the smallest twitch of her muscles. He expected her silent, still and displaying the appropriate level of humility for a simple plaything. All thoughts should be of Him. His pleasure, His comfort, His convenience. That fact had been soundly thrashed into her long ago.
The click of the lock as the door closed softly sent her mind spiralling into the submissive attitude He expected of her as slow footsteps approached. Gone were her fears of humiliation at the hands of strangers. She would have known those footsteps anywhere. She'd heard them every single day for the last five years-slow, confident and menacing. They paused and she could feel His scrutiny, those sharp blue eyes she was never allowed to look at, measuring her posture, checking every curve and every angle, the position of each muscle a yard stick with which to measure her obedience.
Her breath left her lungs in a gasping whoosh as His dress shoe made contact with the aching chasm between her legs. It had been so long since He'd touched her there in any way other than to punish her that she feared the simple contact would send her screaming over the edge that was strictly forbidden.
"So wet for me, little slave. Have you been a good girl today?"
She waited, biting her tongue.
"You may answer, pet."
