CRASH!
I was startled awake by something slamming up against the cage. The room was candle lit. I watched Mistress carrying a heavy wooden paddle that she had no doubt used to rattle the cage. She dragged my bench into the middle of the room. She put a dollop of lube on each peg. My ass fluttered, feeling well abused after last night and knowing what was about to come.
Mistress walked back to the cage. She opened the door. I remained inside not knowing if I should move. It was the right choice. Mistress walked to her wall of implements carrying back a ball gag. She flipped it into the cage.
"Quick. Put that on. I don't want to hear you talking this morning. When I say go, you will get out of your cage and stand in front of your bench with you ass high in the air. For each second you take I will hit you once with my friend here. After I am done, I will start the stop watch. You will ride the first pole for one count, the second for two and so on. After your seventh trip up the last pole you will sit with it in your ass and I will feed you your breakfast. After you eat your breakfast, I will hit you for every minute it takes you to complete your ride. Twice for each of the first seven minutes, three times per minute after 7. And don't worry my pet, your mistress hates fractions so I will be rounding up to the next minute. Wait here while I get ready with the stop watch. Do not move until I say or I will quadruple the penalty you receive for each second it takes you to get here."
I froze. Drool leaking out the side of my mouth now that the ball gag was in place.
"Go." Mistress said standing beside the bench in her robe.
I struggled to unfold myself and crawl out of the cage. I ran to the bench, bent over holding the end of the bench. A couple of seconds later Mistress said, "Holding the bench does not count. Grab your ankles."
I did as instructed. Standing bent in half, the end of the heavy paddle visible between my legs, my body chilled, already sweating with anticipation. My tender anus was already quivering knowing what was to come.
"Eighteen seconds."
I watched the paddle leave my sight and Mistress move a little.
Whoosh. THUMP!
"One" I called out around the gag, putting my hands out to catch me from falling over because of the force of the paddle.
"You fell. It doesn't count. We will start over."
The impact didn't sting, but I felt it deep inside my body.
Whoosh THUMP! "One."
I fell again on the 10th strike. The pain was a deep dull throb somewhere in my muscles or bones. Every other hit seemed to penetrate deep enough for the paddle to smack against my caged testicles.
"You're still at nine."
Drool was running around my nose, over my eyes, dripping off my forehead. I was tired and hungry. I had no idea what time it was. I fell two other times. I think that makes 22 strikes on my ass with a heavy wooden paddle.
"Go."
What? I thought. Shit.
I stood up getting to the first peg, with my ass and thighs throbbing from the pounding. I was used to having fire raised from stinging strikes with light, fast, relatively narrow implements. This was different.
Down, up and off of the first peg. Step to the second peg, drool now spilling down onto my chest.
"WAIT! THAT ISN'T RIGHT!", Mistress screamed at me. "GET BACK ON PEG 1. THE FIRST DOWN COUNTS FOR NOTHING!"
Fuck. I backed up. My anus was numb, or at least it seemed that way on peg number one.
Down. Up. Down. "One". Up. Step forward. Down. Up. Down. "One." Up. Down. "Two." Up. Step forward.
Peg 4 hurt. My ass complaining there had been too much stretching just hours ago and it needed more time to recover. I gulped thinking about jamming the next three pegs into an already aching ass. But somehow, there was still that stimulation. The hard wood sliding along the walls of my rectum. The squeezing of my prostrate. A hum started to develop in my balls.
"Four. That ride seemed slower my pet. Don't make your Mistress have to spend her day with a tired arm from beating her favorite pet. Go faster my sweet."
Peg 5 hurt like peg four. After Mistress counted out 3, I wasn't sure I could take more. The ball gag made it difficult to take deep breaths that might have given me some inner peace. Slide four and five felt dry and like I was scraping a mild rash inside me.
