That night. I was dismissed while James turned away from me replacing his belt.
"Your quarters are behind that screen,asshead." James said as he left the room.
"You are to come to my room at nine o'clock in the morning. Dressed as you are now."
With that, the master exited, and I made my way to the corner of the room he had indicated. Behind the screen lay a thin, worn pad. It might have been an old futon, but it wasn't long enough to be one. It took awhile to find a position where I wasn't pressing on one of my welts. My skin still burned from the thrashing. Still, as I inspected the red stripes, the ones that I could see, I felt a warmth sweep over me. "These are mementos
of the master," I thought. "These were done by his hand. The same hand that holds his beautiful cock when he stands over a toilet. The same hand that he used to slap my old girlfriend Stephanie's ass while he vigorously entered her pussy." How it had thrilled me to spy upon them that time! Beside the mat, there was a thin, grey blanket and a bowl of water. The fear I had felt during the whipping had made my mouth dry. I began to lift the bowl to my lips, but I stopped. I replaced the bowl on the floor, got down on all fours, and gratefully lapped up the cooling water. I curled up on my mat, drew the blanket about me, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
I awoke before sunrise and peeked out from behind the screen. I could hardly believe that the previous night's proceedings had actually happened. Master James's chair stood in the center of the room. The sound of early-morning traffic whispered through the windows. It seemed I had lots of time before the appointed hour. I wished that at least one of the articles from my shrine at home could be there. I felt forlorn, and the time dragged slowly forward.
At five till nine, I ventured, naked, through the door. I had no idea where the master's room was. The house was carpeted, and I tread noiselessly past two doors that were firmly shut. I began to feel anxious, dreading being late. I so hoped that the morning could be one of forgiveness and conciliation. Finally, I came to a door that was slightly ajar. I waited outside, holding my breath.
"You can enter,Jack." I heard the master say.
I opened the door and stood in the threshold. James lay in his bed, propped up by pillows. He was wearing satiny maroon pajamas, and there was a newspaper lying beside him.
"Good morning, Jack. Did you sleep well?" master queried.
"Yes, sir. I surely did." I said, feeling a smile creep over my face; a smile of deep satisfaction at having spent a night under my master's roof.
"Come around over here, Jack. Let's take a look." James said, indicating his bedside. I began to walk over, then hesitated, wondering if I should be crawling. James chuckled.
"Walking will do, Jack. You'll have plenty of opportunities to crawl. Trust me."
"I love being on all fours in your presence, James." I ventured.
"So it would seem! It comes quite naturally to you, boy." James said, offering a smile that made my knees quiver with devotion. His teeth were white and strong, gleaming in his handsome brown face.
"Now." said James. "Come here and we'll tend to you."
I walked swiftly over to where he'd pointed. James swung round, placing his feet on the carpet.
"Turn around." he ordered.
I felt proud as I displayed the marks of my punishment."
"Hmmmm." James pondered as he pivoted me one way, then the other. "The skin is broken in a couple of places. That will need some antibiotic ointment. Maybe a bandage. Get the first aid kit from the closet, Jack."
Returning with the kit, I placed it on the bed beside James, and he opened it.
"You took your strapping well, Jack."
"Thank you, sir!" I replied, elated.
"Tell me what you thought about being whipped by me." James said.
