================================
"Tell me why you need to be punished."
Lola Night was standing naked bar a set of nipple clamps and chains, bent over the edge of the bed, while her Master stood behind her, fully clothed, and in no mood for brattishness. How had she ended up in this predicament?
* * * * *
Upon entering the bedroom, she had found him sitting calmly in his small armchair, his elbows on the arms, his fingertips pressed together.
"How are you feeling, my kitten?"
"Very good, Master," she had replied, uncertainly, since she felt something was up.
"Not for long, then." Apparently something WAS up.
"Take off your dress."
Lola tried to think what might be behind this, and hesitated a little too long.
"I really wouldn't recommend you keep me waiting, kitten."
The tone of his voice was serious, commanding, and made her feel she had done something very wrong... and should not compound whatever mistake it was. She quickly unbuttoned her dress, and let it slip to the floor.
"Come here."
She quickly walked over to him, and knelt at his knees, not because this was a particular habit or ritual, but because she felt it would please him.
"My kitten, I shall have to discipline you. I'm afraid you've displeased me not once, not twice, but three times."
"Three times, Master? What have I done?" Lola was only an occasional brat, and usually behaved as he expected, so she was genuinely surprised.
"You really don't know? Well, why don't you remind me about the rule we have about changing your day collars..." This wasn't a question, but an instruction.
A light-bulb flicked on in Lola's mind... this is what it was about. She hadn't been careful enough.
"I can choose which day collar to wear every day, but I cannot wear the same collar for more than two days in a row."
Indeed, Lola had several day collars, each signifying a particular aspect of her submission or their play, and while she had freedom in her choice of which to wear depending on her mood, her Master had suggested this one rule to ensure she didn't just wear the same one day after day. He could also ask her to change collar at any time, if he was unhappy with her choice, but he would not do this without good reason.
"Very good, my kitten. And have you respected this rule?"
She looked down at her knees, disappointed in herself and echoing his disappointment in her. "No, Master."
"You wore your O collar three days in a row last week, did you not?"
"Yes, Master. I'm sorry, Master."
"Are you? If you were truly sorry, you wouldn't have worn your pearl collar three days in a row this week, would you?"
"No, Master." Lola had been lazy, and perhaps underestimated the importance of respecting this rule. She hadn't expected it to be enforced. But she knew deep down that a rule without enforcement means nothing, and it was her Master's responsibility to ensure their rules were respected.
"We discussed this rule only a few weeks ago, did we not?"
"Yes, Master."
"And you agreed willingly to this rule, did you not?"
"Yes, Master."
"And you have broken it twice in two weeks."
"Yes, Master." Lola's voice was becoming more and more timid, as she realized the extent of her disrespect, and as she felt increasingly impressed by the power her Master was demonstrating. His voice betrayed no anger: he was clearly in control of himself, and his clear, deep voice and the calmness and firmness of his words were beginning to reach well beyond her ears... Lola knew she was about to be punished somehow, but the thought of him using his power over her was making her panties wetter by the second.
"And finally, this morning, you got on the train without a day collar at all..."
"Yes, Master, but I didn't have time... I was going to put it on later..."
He interrupted her by grabbing her long dark ponytail and jerking it down behind her head, tipping her face up to look at him.
"A kitten without a collar is unowned and wild. Is that what you want to be?"
"No, Master, but..."
"No buts, no excuses, you manage your time and you didn't leave enough time. Is your belonging to me not important enough for you to make time to put on your collar?"
"Yes, Master, but..."
"You're making this worse for yourself by trying to make excuses. Are you a feral kitten or an owned kitten?"
"An owned kitten, Master."
"And who do you belong to?"
"I belong to you, Master."
"So you know you must never go out without a day collar..."
"Yes, Master."
They both knew she was only uncollared for a matter of twenty minutes, the time it took to drive to the railway station and jump on the train, and they both knew she was in a rush and couldn't afford to miss that train. But a rule is a rule, and she knew she needed his discipline to ensure she respected their rules properly.
"Take off your bra."
Still kneeling, Lola undid the clasp and let her black bra slip down her shoulders, took it off and gave it to him. He got up, leaving her kneeling before his chair, and went to his chest of drawers. Turning her head a little to look in the full-length mirror, Lola could see him opening the second drawer... the one containing his armory of bondage and discipline implements.
He returned with a familiar pair of nipple clamps on a chain. Draping them on his lap as he sat again in the chair, he took each nipple in turn between his firm fingers, squeezing, pulling and twisting as Lola gasped... her nipples were her strongest erogenous zones, more powerful even than her clitoris in terms of stoking her arousal.
He then applied the clamps one at a time, checking that they were at least mostly comfortable, and adjusting the left one when she indicated it was pinching a little.
"What is your safe word, my kitten?"
"Pineapple, Master."
"Do you need to use it now?"
"No, Master."
"I believe you are expecting a call from your friend?"
"Yes, that's right, Master."
"Then I won't gag you during your punishment. If she calls you, you'll be able to speak with her, although I won't stop."
That was a new thought. She'd been punished before, but the idea of having to speak to her friend while being punished... that was... frightening, but actually quite hot. Lola found herself torn between hoping she didn't call, and hoping she did. Again, this thought drove her arousal up a notch.
"Stand up, kitten."
Clothed now only in her black satin panties and her nipple clamps, Lola rose to her feet in one lithe movement, and awaited her next instruction.
"Walk to the bed, and put on your cuffs."
Lola turned around and walked to the bed, where she saw he had laid out four Velcro cuffs. The clamps weren't the only things he had taken out of his infamous second drawer.
Lola sat on the bed, but was startled by a quick rebuke:
"No, my kitten. Not on the bed. Good kittens get to jump on the bed. Have you been a good kitten?"
"No, Master," sighed Lola, knowing that she had been almost completely a very good kitten, but had let herself and her Master down three times.
"So put them on but remain standing."
"Don't you want to put the cuffs on me, Master?"
"No, kitten, I want you to put them on." This wasn't usual. She liked it when he put the cuffs on her wrists and ankles, as if he was expressing his ownership of her, and she enjoyed it when he physically took control of her. It dawned on her that he was intentionally depriving her of that pleasure, and it probably turned him on to see her preparing herself to be bound as he sat there calmly in the armchair.
When she had placed a cuff on each limb, although without yet attaching them to anything, Lola looked again at her Master for instructions, which took a few long seconds to come as he looked at her in silence, their eyes locked.
"Turn around, and take off your panties."
Lola did as she was asked, turning her back to him, and taking first one leg and then the other out of her panties.
"Not like that, kitten. Put them back on."
Lola was surprised, but did as she was told. How did he want her to take them off?
"Keep your legs straight, bend over, and slide them all the way down to your ankles, then hold the position. I'll tell you when you can step out of them."
Ah, so he wanted a good view? Well, she would give him a view to remember! Lola slowly bent at the waist, her thumbs pulling her panties down inch by inch until she was bent double, her heart-shaped ass in the air, and her black panties around her ankles, still with her thumbs at each side of the stretchy material. She mentally congratulated herself for keeping up with her yoga, which kept her so supple.
"Very good, my kitten. You can step out of them now. Walk over to the bed, bend over and place your hands on the bed."
Lola did as requested, but was a little too close, and the chain attached to her nipple clamps was draped onto the bed.
"Move backwards, kitten. I want that chain to hang down in mid-air."
