*****************************
She awoke, startled and wide-eyed. She thought she had felt the sting of a lash on her back. She looked around and realized her body was shivering cold. She jumped out of the tub and wondered how long she had been asleep as she dried off. She also fearfully wondered about the condition her mother might be in right now. Practically running to her mother's bedroom, she flung the towel onto the bed as she went and grasped her mother's head in her hands. While waiting for mother to react, Julie glanced at the clock.
"Mother. Are you alright? I'm sorry. I fell asleep. You been here for more than an hour already. Are you okay? Mother, please answer me." she pleadingly asked..
Mother began to slowly nod her head and form a brief smile as she whispered her reply to her daughter.
"Yes dear, I'm okay. I just think that I'm a little out of practice."
"Would you like me to let you down now?" Julie asked compassionately while thinking about what her mother had just said.
"I don't think you've beaten my love mound yet, have you?" She asked after a few seconds.
"No mother, I haven't. I'm very sorry. I don't know why I fell asleep. But we can do that some other time if you want. You do look pretty wasted right now, and wouldn't you enjoy it more if you weren't already in so much pain." Julie asked while trying to persuade her mother otherwise.
"I guess your right." she finally said after a long pause. "That wonderful whipping you gave me really took a lot out of me. You can let me down now since your so worried."
Julie felt very relieved. During this brief talk she noticed that her mother's head never once raised from its lowered position. She truly was exhausted. So stepping behind her, she first removed her blindfold, then released her legs and slowly let them down to touch the floor. Then bringing the chair close again, she asked her mother to stand on tiptoe so she could unclip her wrists. With this done, Julie stood close by to help guide mother to sit down. As she did this, Julie wondered why her mother kept her arms always slightly above her head.
"Thanks Julie. You might as well take off my ankle cuffs and put them on yourself while I get my arms down. So as Julie did this, it became clear why her mother was only slowly lowering her arms. By the expression on her face and the contortions that her shoulders and back muscles were doing, the fires of her red stripes and welts on her back were being re-ignited as her skin moved to its natural position. And as she finished buckling on the ankle cuffs, and mother's arms practically all the way down, Julie began transferring the wrist cuffs onto herself while talking.
"I really think you should take a rest before you start trying those things out on me. At least I would enjoy it more if I wasn't so concerned about you. I can wait until this evening or tomorrow to try these other things. I would be happy if you just put me in that simple suspension like you found me this morning for two or three hours while you rest. I would enjoy that too!"
"Maybe your right." she finally replied. "Maybe I am pushing myself a little too fast into all of this again, and trying a bit too hard to see how you like it. How about if I just put you in a tiptoe suspension for your first longer experience at this. Spending two or three hours without being able to give your arms even a brief relief is not for beginners. So how about doing just the tiptoe suspension instead?"
"That sounds all right with me! You don't know how much I would enjoy that. I've been wanting to do that for so long, but never found the place to do it until I came up with this idea. But once I had it set up, and knowing that you were going to be home shortly, I decided to try the full suspension first. Then later on, when I knew you would be gone for quite a while, then I was going to try doing a long tiptoe. I think about that a lot." Julie said with growing enthusiasm.
"So if you're going to do that for me now, I would like to be left like that for a real long time. Like maybe until late tonight!" And then quickly adding, "And maybe even leaving me until sometime tomorrow morning. You should be plenty rested up by then. Afterwards, maybe giving me a little break, we can try those new things out on me. How does that sound?"
"You certainly do have some very ambitious thoughts, but you have no idea how fatiguing bondage can be. Especially if you start being whipped or beaten like I just went through." mother answered while shaking her head and smiling at Julie. Her daughter was just like her in so many ways. So energetic and enthusiastic. Then forming a serious expression, explained to her daughter the present reality.
"But do understand that after tonight I won't do anything more than simple bondage with you. I mean, if you still want to be tied up some tomorrow. Not even suspension because of the wrist marks. I can't have you going to school on Monday with telltale marks. They do need time to fade , and even the Crop will leave red marks lasting a couple days. Why don't we just wait until next Friday night. That might be better."
