Kim snapped awake suddenly as she heard the noise of Master’s key in the door lock. Oh shit, she thought, I overslept. I’m fucked now! Maybe he won’t notice, maybe I can distract him.
She rolled off the couch and raced to the hallway by the door, wiping the sleep from her eyes. She knelt at the end of the hall, naked, her knees widely spread, as she did every day when he came home. His collar was locked around her neck. Her hair was tousled and she combed through it roughly with her fingers.
Master came through the door and looked down at her. “Hello, slave girl,” he said, smiling. Just looking at him always made her weak. He was so masculine and powerful. She especially loved the smell of the expensive leather coat he wore.
“Have you been good today?” he asked, giving her head an affectionate shake.
Better make it good, Kim, she thought. “Yes, Master,” she said. “Oh, Master, let me pleasure you.” She displayed herself, kneeling before him. She leaned forward, her eyes bright and her mouth slightly open, legs spread wide, breasts thrust out. Kim was a lithe little blonde in her early thirties, with blue eyes and full red lips. Her long curly hair fell to the middle of her back. Although she squirmed seductively in front of him, trying to entice him, she did not break her kneeling position, of course.
He laughed. “A hot little slut, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of time for you later tonight.” He walked past her, setting his briefcase down on the floor.
Turning to watch him, she bit her lower lip, not having received permission to move. Her heart began to beat wildly as he walked into the other room. Master owned a large expensive condominium in downtown Seattle, with high ceilings and several bedrooms. One of the bedrooms had been converted into a full dungeon complete with soundproofed walls. Kim shuddered. A night in her cage was probably what awaited her.
I should have told him, she thought, I should have just confessed as soon as he came in. She had only meant to nap for a few minutes, not sleep for more than two hours on the couch. Kneeling apprehensively, she heard water running in the bathroom. Perhaps he won’t check, she thought. Another door opened down the hall.
“Kimberly!” he called sharply, “in here. Now.”
When he used her full name, she knew she was in trouble. With a feeling of dread, she rose to her feet and hurried to the sound of his voice. Oh fuck, he was standing by the stationary exercise bicycle. She ran over and knelt before him. “Master?” she asked, her heart pounding in her chest.
“What’s the meaning of this?” he demanded. “You know you’re supposed to do thirty minutes every day. It’s one of your duties, part of your training.” He tapped the computer readout on the bike. “According to this, however, you haven’t done any time today. Is that correct?”
“Yes, Master,” she said, starting to cry, “but it wasn’t my fault. I fell asleep on the couch. Please, Master, I --”
He held up his hand, silencing her. “Didn’t I ask if you’d been good today?”
“Yes, Master,” she said miserably, looking down at the floor.
“And what did you tell me?”
She hated it when he did this to her. “I said that I’d been good,” she whispered.
“So, you lied to me, didn’t you?”
“Yes, Master,” she wept. “I’m sorry, Master, it’s just that --”
“Quiet, slave,” he snapped. He was silent for a moment. “Not only did you neglect your assigned duties, you lied to me about it.” He walked around behind her, his boots echoing on the wooden floor. “You’ll have to be punished. This is a serious transgression. What the hell were you thinking?”
Kim didn’t speak. Trembling, she kept her head down.
“I can see now that I’ve been too easy on you,” he said. “This has become a continuing problem. Chores not getting done, slipshod work around the house. I’ve been lenient, and you’ve taken advantage of it.”
The silence stretched out. Kim closed her eyes. What he said was true.
He cleared his throat. “Well, no more. This behavior is unacceptable. I’ll make sure you don’t disobey me, ever again. I’ll make sure you don’t lie to your master. I want you to crawl out to the main room and kneel in the corner by the fireplace, face against the wall, with your wrists crossed behind your back. Now.”
Kim did as she’d been told, tears running down her cheeks. She hated being forced to crawl around on her hands and knees. It was so degrading. Even more humiliating, it made her aroused, and Master knew it. Her body was completely open to him. He had such control over her, and it excited her like nothing else ever had.
She knelt in the corner for several minutes, her hands behind her, wondering what was in store for her. Inside, however, she knew that she deserved whatever punishment awaited her. She had been disobedient. Without question, she should have gotten on the bike instead of slumbering on the couch like some fat housewife. Even worse, she had dared to deceive him. She had never seen him so angry.
She heard him enter the room behind her. Roughly, he tied her wrists together with a length of rope, making her wince as he yanked the knot tight. Looping another piece of the coarse rope between her bound wrists, he pulled each end up and around her shoulders, drawing her hands high behind her back. He crossed the rope in front of her breasts and then looped it several times tightly around her body, finally knotting the ends together at her belly. She squirmed a little, the rope cutting into her body. She was well restrained and completely helpless. Wetness flooded between her thighs. Even as scared as she was, being bound or tied turned her on incredibly.
He smoothed her hair back from her face and secured it behind her head with an elastic band. “Stand up,” he commanded, “over here.” He motioned to the narrow window next to the fireplace. Looking outside, she could see five stories down to the street. It had just gotten dark and the lights of downtown Seattle were visible in the distance.
“Spread your legs,” he ordered. She complied and he tied each ankle to a ring at the bottom of the wall, about six inches from the floor. Her legs were held uncomfortably apart.
Kim had no idea what he had in mind, but she was very frightened. He had never done anything like this before. Bound as she was, against the window, anyone down out on the street could see her. She tried to turn and look at him.
“Face forward,” he said, coming up behind her. He reached around and fastened a clamp on each nipple. Pain shot through her body as her breasts were pulled down by the cruel pinching weights. He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her head back.
“I think we’ll start with thirty strokes of the whip,” he whispered in her ear. “Then, I may use you or I may not, depending on how I feel. Then we’ll talk about any additional punishment you deserve.” He reached around and opened the window. “I’d suggest you try not to make any noise. You don’t want to draw a crowd.”
“Master?” she asked, her voice breaking. The cool air washed across her naked body. The weights swung from her breasts with every movement she made. Master knew she was afraid of heights, and the open window made her very nervous.
He placed a pillow on the windowsill. “Bend over, and lean out the window.”
