“Position three!” Jonathan snapped the words at Alison, who was standing in front of him. She immediately lowered her naked body onto its knees; her hands clasped behind her back, and bowed her head, keeping her eyes firmly fixed on the floor. She listened to her Master’s footsteps as he left the room. His demand for “position three” was almost always followed by his departure; he knew that her mind and body would be gripped by anticipation as she waited for his return.
Today, however, Alison’s thoughts drifted away from the discomfort of her bare knees on the wooden floor; she was unaware of the slight breeze from the open window that made her nipples stand up firmly. Her thoughts were going back to that day a few months ago when she had first met Jonathan in a local pub. If she had known then how he would turn her life inside out, would she have walked away? Too late to speculate about that now, she told herself, in the past months Jonathan had demanded and been given her submission to his will. But, he had also given her a love deeper than any she had ever known before, and shown her that pleasing him through her submission and the enduring of pain for him touched something so very deep inside her; something that made her complete.
Alison shifted her knees slightly on the floor, but although she was still alone in the room, she neither raised her head nor removed her hands from behind her back. She remembered the first time she had felt his whip on her body. She had been terrified and longing for it at the same time. When the whip had struck her ass for that first time, the pain of it brought tears to her eyes, but also a feeling of “rightness” inside herself. (Of course, she’d since discovered that what had made her cry that day was a mere caress compared to the severity of the whippings he now gave her.)
How long had she been alone now, waiting for her Master to return? Alison shifted her knees again on the floor, her thoughts no longer serving as a distraction from the discomfort. After several more increasingly uncomfortable minutes, during which her anticipation finally began to torment her, she heard his footsteps approaching and then saw his bare feet as he stopped directly in front of her.
