Cassie had some trepidation about what she was going to be doing that night but was determined to find out about it. She had never been spanked, not even by a disciplining parent, but she had heard some of her friends and college dormitory mates talking about being spanked or paddled by their boyfriends. Most of them had liked that part alright and had raved about the great sex that ensued, the best ever, according to them. To Cassie, that didn't seem to make sense. She had occasionally burned herself or stubbed a toe or suffered other minor injuries and the pain from those had not been at all erotic.
"How then," she had asked herself, "could the pain of being spanked be at all sexually arousing or even fun?"
She had no answer to that and no way to find one without actually having her ass spanked and she was extremely reluctant to ask any of the men she knew to do that, even though it might have answered her question. Partly, she was concerned that he might really enjoy doing it to her while she didn't and he might continue to inflict pain on her even while she was imploring him to stop. If she asked her boyfriend to try the experiment with her, she might hate it and he might like it and insist on spanking her bare bottom as part of every sexual encounter after that. As for having a stranger spank her, that could be even more dangerous, even if she were willing to expose herself to him.
One evening in her dorm room, Cassie thought she had found a safe way to learn what she wanted to know. While surfing the internet, she happened to come across a picture of a woman whose bare bottom was apparently being paddled by a tall, handsome man using what looked like a long board with a handle. She read the accompanying text and learned the name of the site and of the small, nondescript building where they were located were Paddling Party. Her interest was piqued and she read further, about how they catered to adventurous men and women who were curious about the sexual joys to be found through the receiving or giving of pain.
Intrigued, because that described her perfectly, Cassie read more, about how the club, as the site called their place of business, serviced people who were looking for a different kind of thrill. Men and women who came there together would be assigned to the same room if that was what they preferred. New clients, especially people who were curious about being spanked and came to the club alone, would be paired with other male or female clients who would be aware of the lack of experience and would be as rough or as gentle as the new person wanted. The advertisement went on to describe safe words and various objects that could be used in the spankings or whippings.
Cassie took a closer look at the photo that had caught her eye. The woman was very beautiful and very naked and she was bent forward over the back of what appeared to be a heavy wooden chair. The handsome man had apparently just landed a blow on one creamy ass cheek and left a bright red blotch. There were other marks that looked as if they had come from previous swats of the board. As she stared at the bare skin and the marks, Cassie felt her own ass tingling and, for a moment, wished she could be the one having her naked ass turned a bright red by the instrument being swung by the same hot dude.
"I'll do it," she said aloud.
"Do what?" asked Josie, her roommate, best friend and confidante.
"Come here and I'll show you."
Josie ambled over and looked at the screen. She and Cassie had discussed the latter's curiosity several times and were both of the mind that any girl who got involved in such an experiment with a stranger would have to be very careful and make arrangements for a trusted friend to come to her rescue if need be. They both remembered those conversations and expanded on them.
"I could be that friend," Josie had suggested. "If you ever want to try it, that is."
The roommates discussed how Cassie could call for help without anybody who might be menacing her being aware of what she was doing. They decided Josie would follow her to The Paddling Place and, 20 minutes later call her cell phone and ask about an exam they would pretend to have taken that day at college. If Cassie told her friend she had flunked it, that would be a cry for help while a response of passing would mean everything was alright and Josie could go home. Of course, if she chose to go through with the paddling, they would get together later and discuss the night's events at great length.
That had been two days ago and their discussion had been followed by calling The Club and asking about the need for an appointment. After being told there would be no appointment required; clients were always serviced in the order they arrived, Cassie had decided that Friday evening would be the moment of truth. Now the time had arrived and she was waiting to sign in as a beginner, or novice as she would be called. The club was located in a large room and, as she found out later, it was fully sound-proofed. Most of the room was divided into cubicles and, from inside them, everybody could hear the sounds of a variety of implements as they smacked against bare skin. There were even a few screams of pain, besides cries of joy, some louder than others, but nobody seemed to be in any real distress.
The man at the desk where she signed in verified her credit card and used only Cassie's first name. "We never use more than that," he explained. When told about her novice status and that she was by herself and wanted to be spanked by a man using a wooden paddle, he directed her to a small cluster of chairs and told her that an experienced man, who would also be a client, would come by and escort her to the cubicle he would assign to her. Her credit card would be charged for the actual time they were in the room, without considering what went on while they were there.
"The person being spanked or paddled or whipped is in charge," he advised her. "You get to choose what gets used and how, and how much you will be wearing and what the safe word will be."
Cassie already knew she wanted to be paddled while nude and bent over the back of a chair, just as the picture that had fascinated her so much. She hoped it would be by the same man, but knew that was unlikely. Therefore, she was not disappointed when a rather short but muscular dark-haired man in his thirties came by to introduce himself. It was about the same time that her cell phone rang.
"Hi Cassie. This is Josie," said her friend when the phone was answered. "What did you think of that exam today in Chem?"
She was not absolutely certain but everything had looked alright so far and there didn't seem to be any danger. "Hi, Josie. I'm sure I passed it. In fact, I think I aced it," she replied.
"That's good. Tell me all about it when you get home." They hung up then and the novice was committed to something of which she was still unsure.
"Hi, Cassie," the man said while offering his hand to shake. "My name is Jake. Have you thought about what you want to do?"
"Yeah, Jake." She shook his hand and introduced herself. "I'll tell you about it when we reach our room."
The room was really just a cubicle with walls and a door that met neither the floor nor the ceiling. It looked like a stall in a ladies' room except that along one wall it was furnished with a small bed covered by a clean sheet and a pair of pillows near the head. Beside that was the same kind of chair she had seen on the website. Cassie wondered at first about the bed until she realized how some couples came there and probably get so aroused from the paddling or whipping or whatever they chose to do they would want to put the bed to immediate use.
They settled on their safe word - Columbus - and Cassie described how she wanted to be: nude, bent over the chair back and spanked with the wooden paddle. It would be a thin, well-polished board with an attached handle, and one of them was conveniently hanging on the wall along with several other objects that could be used in inflicting pain.
"Do you want me to turn around while you get undressed?" Jake asked her.
Cassie hadn't thought about that. She was no prude and had been naked in front of men many times but they had been boyfriends or, at least, friends with benefits. Jake would be looking at her bare ass during her paddling but that was far from actually watching her undress. "Yes, I think I would," she replied and she began to remove her blouse after he had turned his back to her.
Completely naked with her clothing and purse piled on the seat of the chair, Cassie bent over the back with her feet on the floor. It was the perfect height for her to be able to do so comfortably. "I'm ready," she announced.
Jake had kept his word and he turned around when she was ready and gazed at the creamy skin of the woman's ass. "Unless she stops me, I'm gonna turn her bright red back here," he happily told himself. He had admired Cassie's figure when he first saw her and as she led him into the room, as well as her pretty face, green eyes and long, dark brown hair. He hoped they would both have fun that evening, during the paddling and, if the result was what it often was, on the bed when she was ready for it.
"Are you all set?" he asked.
"Let me have it."
The first blow of the paddle was no more than a pat on the right ass cheek and it produced neither pain nor pleasure. Jake wanted to be sure Cassie was really ready and really wanted the paddling she had come there for.
