Chapter Title: ***Vanessa's Awakening***
Eric and I fell into a routine over the next couple of weeks. He took me on three more dates to various restaurants. After our dates he would defile me, sometimes in the car, sometimes in a dark alleyway. I always wear easy clothes now.
"Vanessa."
I was laying on the couch trading my book when Eric's angry voice startled me. I looked up to see him walking into the room.
"Yes Sir?" I winced.
"What are you meant to be doing right now?" he asked.
I thought back but nothing was coming into my mind. It was a lazy Sunday as far as I was concerned. I frowned at Eric.
"I don't know," I grumbled.
Eric stalked toward me, making me sit up on the couch further. He stood over me, he didn't even need to touch me his presence was intimidating enough. I hadn't really been punished since we went on that first date. I don't know why I think I just found submission much easier, more natural, after that point.
"We don't have any groceries," he said. Then I remembered today was my time to go grocery shopping. We usually took turns every week. We usually shopped on Sundays because it was really the only time we both had off.
"Oh," I squeaked.
"I'll be punishing you when you get back," he told me before walking away.

In the grocery store, all I could think about was what was going to happen to me. I took the list off the fridge with all the normal things that we would buy. Plus anything that needed replacing or refilling. Then right at the bottom of the list in red pen was the word ginger. It said right next to it and don't forget.
I thought about just not buying it. But at the same time I knew that would be a bad idea.
In the end, I bought the ginger.
I went home and unloaded all the groceries and then put them away. I kept the ginger to the side. Eric was in his room and I didn't want to bother him while I was doing my chore. Once I was done, I stripped naked, holding the ginger, I walked into his bedroom.
Eric was just sitting there on the bed. When he saw me his eyes widened slightly. He watched me wondering what I was about to do.
I kneeled on the floor in front of his bed and put my palm so they were facing upwards presenting the ginger to him.
"Please punish me, Sir," I said.
A smile turned up on Eric's face.
"Well, we can't just use it like that," he told me.
I felt my face turning red.
"Let's go to the kitchen," he told me.
I stood up still holding the ginger. We walked into the kitchen, Eric was right behind me. We walked in and he pulled open a drawer and grabbed a carving knife. He pulled the ginger from my hand.
"Go stand in the corner against the wall, I'll come get you when it's time for your punishment," Eric said. My eyes widened.
"The corner?"
He put the knife and ginger down and grabbed me by the upper arm.
"Yes pet, you need to think about your actions," he said, steady. He pulled me through to the far end of the kitchen and faced me into the corner. "Now stay."
I waited and waited, the anticipation and nerves getting to me. I was shifting from foot to foot. Eric didn't say anything but I just felt his presence behind me. My muscles all seized up at once.
"Turn around," he said. I turned, pouting up at him. He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me over to the dining room table. My heart was fluttering with nerves the whole time.
"You remember the last time I threatened you with ginger?" Eric asked.
I nodded before replying. "Yes Sir."
"And you remember how you ran away?" He pressed.
"Yes Sir."
"If you run away this time I'll beat you senseless," he growled.
My head spun with arousal. Oh that was so wrong. My body was alight, thrumming at a low rhythm like an old appliance. I almost wanted him to punish me. I needed it.
"I won't run," I finally said.
"You better not," he replied.
"Spread your asscheeks for me."
I reached back as I was bent over the table, my entire front was against it while my legs were spread. I pulled my cheeks apart and felt the cool air of the apartment land on my little hole and down against my pussy.
Eric walked around and presented to me the ginger butt plug. He didn't say anything but I could tell he was saying this is going up your ass.
I pouted, deeper. Eric chuckled.
He came back around to my asshole and then pushed the ginger in. He must have rinsed it under the tap because it was a little slimy and slipped right in.
The burning sensation began within thirty seconds. It was a slow burn, nothing too intense yet. My breathing was heavy though as my nerves got the best of me.
"How does it feel," Eric asked, sitting down next to me.
"It burns," I admitted.
The burn spread through my tiny hole. I'd let go of my asscheeks now and I was doing my best not to clench around it.
"You have one minute to adjust to the burn. It will just continue to grow. Then I am going to take the wooden spoon from the kitchen and tan your ass with it," he told me.
"Why?" I cried out. I knew why but the pain was messing with my head. I was shifting from foot to foot trying to make the burn go away as best I could.
"You know why. You neglected one of your tasks. You know you deserve it," he told me.
"I don't know if I do," I argued.
Eric laughed, but it was dark and menacing. He leaned in, so I could see every tiny faint freckle on his face.
"You're going to learn soon enough that you deserve your punishments," he told me. I frowned at him.
The burning continued. I was wincing now. I was not getting used to the sensation in the least. Eric smoothed his hand over my back, rubbing it in circles.
"It's one thing that you punish me and it's another for me to think I deserve it," I bit back.
"Uh huh," Eric blew me off. "Stay," he commanded before standing up. He walked into the kitchen and when he returned he was holding the wooden spoon and the egg timer. Where was he going to put that? He set both things down in front of me, taunting me. He then walked off again. An agonising minute later he started collaring me from behind. I knew this meant I now couldn't speak freely, lest I get twice the beating.
Eric picked up the egg timer. "Five more minutes the ginger will stay inside you while I beat you, then we will remove it," he said.
"Okay... Sir"
"You almost earned a belting," he said.
"Yes Sir," I bit, my tone communicating for me.
"Smart ass," Eric said, smacking me with his hand along the side of my thigh.
Eric set the timer down then I felt the first smack of the wooden spoon against my ass. It stung through my cheek. He smacked my left asscheek over and over before matching his work on the right side. I clenched around the ginger as he smacked me making the burn worsen. I screamed out in pain.
"Sir," I gasped. Eric chuckled as he smacked me harder. He stood off to the side of me, with his hand pressing down on my lower back, holding me in place.
Now he alternated left cheek, right cheek. He went over and over again. I felt tears prick my eyes as the two sensations of the burning and the beating came together. I eyed the timer through blurry eyes, four minutes to go.
Eric moved down to my sensitive upper thighs. Two smacks landed on either thigh. Then he started smacking up, each hit only landing a half inch away from the last. He smacked up from the crease of my thigh and ass until he reached the fattest part of my cheek then he moved on to my other cheek.
By now tears were flowing at full force. I was almost kicking but somehow managed to keep my legs still.
"Eric," I blubbered.
"Sir," he corrected with an extra hard hit.
I was a mess.
I looked down at the timer, three minutes now. Eric continued on his tirade and I just began to kick my legs as I got louder. The pain was coursing through me in waves and making me skittish like a trapped animal.
"You know your safe word," Eric said, pausing for a moment. When I didn't reply he continued punishing me. The timer was still ticking down at two minutes and thirty odd seconds.
I hadn't considered using it before until now but I wasn't sure if I could take it any more. I wriggled my ass and Eric pulled back for a moment.
"Red, yellow, green," Eric asked.
"Yellow," I cried back.
"Can you take the rest with my hand?" he questioned.
"I need the ginger out," I cried.
"It's going to continue burning when I remove it," he said.
"I am safewording the ginger," I said to Eric. He pulled it out and it soothed me a little but the burning did continue as he said.
