To my fans and followers... My sincerest apologies for the long delay between Chapter 7 and Chapter 8. I truly thought this chapter had been lost forever. I hope you enjoy it and find it as 'real' as the rest of the series. I no longer have my mentor... and I can't tell you how much I miss His input.
Rachael walked out of her room and headed down the stairs to the living room as told... all the while wondering why this woman from the shoppe in the mall was here. She was about to have another 'first'... but was not prepared for what it would entail or the feelings that would engulf her as a result.
'What is this woman doing here? Why did Sir ask her here; and why for the weeksend?'
The thoughts went round and round, with no answers in sight, as Rachael reached the last tread and stepped down onto the living room carpet. The throaty laugh of the other woman caused her to lift her head and the sight before her caused her to feel a sudden chill run through her and she shivered.
"Ah, there you are Pet. I was about to come up and see what was causing your delay."
Rodger disengaged Samantha's hand from his arm and turned to approach Rachael as she still stood at the base of the stairs. Uncertainty etched her features and her brow drew together in a frown as he approached her.
In order to avoid taking his hands, she busied them and reached for the sash of her Brushing Robe and attempted to tie it.
"No, Rachael. Leave the robe open. Better yet, take it off please. It will only be in the way during your training session. Now, lift your hair while I replace your Pink-colored collar so we can begin."
As Rodger stepped forward to place the collar around Rachael's neck, the fact that he wasn't wearing the slacks of his suit slowly registered on her brain and she stepped ever so slightly forward away from his hands, when he stepped behind her and moved against her to fasten the clasp of the collar.
"Where are your slacks, Sir? Why are You dressed like this in
her
presence?"
Rachael had turned to face me as she spoke; and her eyes searched My face as she waited for me to reply. She knew she was speaking without expressed permission and that a tone of respect was lacking from her questions; but she didn't care.
I got the distinct impression that Rachael didn't care if I punished her. Not this time.
My raised eyebrow was the only outward sign given to indicate that there was something lacking in the tone of the young woman who stood before me, just as my ears had picked up on the slight sarcasm that had laced the "her" in Rachael's last question.
I let my eyes rove from the ice-blue eyes looking up at me then down to the stocking clad toes then back to the eyes before I replied... letting a stern tone of disapproval snake its way into my words as I spoke and I let my eyes narrow as I lowered my face to the upturned one.
"You seem to forget yourself, Pet. How I dress, or undress, in My home is My business. What I wear, or don't wear, in front of company is My choice... not yours. Get used to it.
"Now, get yourself over to the sofa. You will stand in front of it and wait for Me. You will be punished for your tone, your lack of respect, and speaking without My express permission when I get back.
"Here Octavia. Put the wench's collar on for Me. I'll be right back."
Without so much as a backward glance, or further word, Rodger turned and climbed the stairs. He couldn't tell Rachael how much he didn't want to punish her; but she had crossed that fine, sometimes unseen, line between what was allowable from one's submissive and what was a breach of etiquette.
When I reached the upper landing, I turned to watch the scene below me unfold.
Downstairs Rachael stood still as the Titian-haired woman I had addressed as 'Octavia' stood up and moved to stand behind Rachael. Octavia was wearing a corset, thigh-high stockings, and high-heeled boots.
Her corset was black with purple lace inserts, purple garters, black stockings and black patent leather boots. The corset barely covered Octavia's breasts and when she walked toward Rachael, the woman's puss was exposed to view.
"Hold your hair up girl and don't say one word until your collar is back on. Am I clear?"
Rachael nodded and remained silent as she held her hair up as told and she felt the cool touch of the leather as it encircled her neck. Then, as the woman continued to stand behind her, Rachael tried not to flinch when she felt a hand caress her right ass cheek. Neither woman heard me return until I spoke.
"No Octavia. The wench is mine to punish. You have your own at home. No one disciplines Rachael except me. Ever."
My cold tone entered the room before I did, and Octavia knew she should step back and not cross me as I strode into the living room. I crossed it in a few strides, and stopped when I stood in front of Rachael.
"Wench, can you give Me one good reason, or tell Me, why I should not punish you?"
I stood at my full 6 foot 4 inch height, with my arms crossed against my chest as I spoke deliberately slowly, letting the cold stern tone fill every word as they rained down on Rachael's ears.
"No Sir. I cannot. I know You must do what You must do, Sir."
Rachael knew she should look up into my face as she spoke; but I sensed she was at war with herself so she felt it better to keep her eyes downcast. She would not let me see the tears that filled her eyes as I let my words cut through her like mini-blades.
"Then, since you can't give Me a reason or tell Me why I shouldn't punish you; I want you to turn around and put your hands behind you. Octavia, reach into the bag next to the sofa and get the binding cords. You will bind her arms to the back of the chair as you sit her face Me.
"Once seated and restrained in the chair, I then want you to spread her legs and anchor her ankles to each of the front legs of the chair. By binding her arms to the back of the chair, this will keep the wench from twisting away.
"I want her unable to twist, or turn away as I spank her puss. I was going to spank her ass... but I realized her ass is for fucking. So, I will spank her puss instead. Make her ready then step back."
Rachael's eyes shot upward to meet my cold ones as I stood in front of her. It was then that she saw the crops in one hand and the flogger in the other. She felt her legs being spread and then she felt the bindings go around her ankles. She was unable to move... just as I wanted.
"Count each stroke out loud Wench. And, while you may find yourself getting wet, you are not allowed to cum. If you do cum, I will spank your puss even harder. Step away Octavia."
Rachael watched as I approached her and she cringed when the first slap of the wide-tipped crop landed against the lips of her pussy.
"One Sir!" Rachael cried out and then felt the second slap land almost immediately.
"Two Sir!" She felt the tears fill her eyes and she blinked furiously to keep them from falling. She was not going to give me the satisfaction of watching her break down and weep.
Two more slaps landed immediately, catching Rachael off guard and causing her to cry out before she gave the new count.
"What is the count now, Wench?"
I bellowed and then lowered my face until it was level with the girl tied to the chair before Me. My hand shot out and grabbed a handful of hair, yanking her head back.
"Open your eyes Slut and tell me the count. Now!"
Rachael opened her eyes, and the welled-up tears fell as she looked into the face of the man she had fallen in love with. This time, and at this moment, there was no answering love in the eyes before her. They were like cold steel. A deep Slate Grey... showing no emotion.
Rodger's face was only inches away as they were almost nose-to-nose.
"What is the count girl? You're supposed to be counting out loud as the strikes fall, not wallowing in your tears."
My clipped words were enunciated slowly then I moved my face in a little closer to Rachael's as I spoke in a low tone.
I felt the captive body jump at my tone as I watched the tears fall, unchecked, down her cheeks. As much as it hurt me to punish her, I swiftly landed another smack, this time to the soft skin on the inside of her left thigh then pulled hard on the hair in my clenched fist and raised the crop for another smack when the answer was torn from Rachael's throat.
"Five Sir! The count is five! Please Sir, no more! Please!"
Rachael's voice choked and then broke on the last word and she let her lids close against the anger in and on my face.
"Hand Me the narrow-tipped crop Octavia. And Pet? I will decide when you have had enough. Get that clear."
I let the wide-tipped crop fall onto the living room carpet and felt Octavia slip the other crop into my outstretched empty hand.
"You still have not learned your lesson, Wench. I am disappointed."
I let go the hold I had of her hair with one hand just as my other hand brought the crop down, this time letting the swat land against Rachael's exposed clit.
Even though she was restrained, her body jerked in response to the slap of the narrow-tipped crop against her sensitive and exposed clit. She opened her mouth to call out the number and the scream she'd held at bay filled the room.
"Six Sir! That's number six!"
