Dan guessed that he had spent three hours bent and stretched over the back of the punishment chair. Each ankle was clipped to the matching back leg of the chair. His wrists were pulled down hard to the front and clipped to the bottom of the front legs. That forced him up on his toes. His balls were tied down hard by a cord to the bottom rung of the chair. To ease the strain of the top of the chair pressing into his stomach and ribs, he lifted himself higher on his toes, but only succeeded in pulling tighter on the cord that gripped and pulled out of his balls. He could only swop one hurt for a different hurt. He remembered reading about it; predicament bondage. So this is what it is like thought Dan, pushing up slowly on his toes once more as he tried to gently balance the amount of painful tugging on his balls against the pain of his sore ribs pressing into the back of the chair.
Listening to the sounds from upstairs drifting down from the open cellar door helped a bit. It took his mind off his two-way discomfort. After some initial giggling and horseplay, his trainer, Alice, and her lover Beth, settled down to watch a movie. Dan couldn't make out the dialogue, just the muffled sound. The music came and went, loud for the action bits, soft strings for the mushy bits. Finally, all was quiet. He heard more murmured conversation and some movement. Eventually, there came the shouted goodbyes and the slam of the front door closing.
Alice didn't come down to him immediately. Every minute that she didn't seemed like an hour. Dan was praying that she wouldn't leave him stretched and tied all night. He would have to cry out and beg her to come and release him if it seemed like she was going straight to bed. He had felt a bit sorry for himself, listening to the movie, listening to the sounds of the couple upstairs getting on with their lives, having a good time, while he was tied naked, bent and stretched over a chair in the basement.
At last, the light in the cellar came on and Dan could hear Alice coming down the steps. She walked past Dan to the shelf area first. Dan could see her bare feet pass by him. He was too weary to try and raise his head to see any more. Let her do what she is going to do thought Dan with resignation. She came up behind him and untied the cord around his balls. Dan gave a long sigh of relief as the pulling tension came off his swollen cum filled testicles. He was even more relieved to feel Alice fit an adult diaper onto him, pushing it up between his legs and around his cock cage, then pressing the tabs at the sides to secure it in place.
The humiliation of being fitted with a diaper by Alice was more that balanced by the sure knowledge that his ass was now safe from further punishment tonight. When Alice came around in front of Dan again he could see the two knotted ends of the cord she had taken off his balls. They were hanging there right beside his head. She was swinging them gently to and fro. Dan's eyes followed the knotted ends over and back as Alice spoke.
'Now Slave, you did well today, overall, for your first full day of slave training. However, we both know why I had to put you in this stress punishment position, and I want you to remember what mistake you made. If you recall, you abruptly stopped doing what I had ordered you to do and you went off to do something else. Isn't that so?'
'Yes, Head Mistress,' said Dan, with resignation. He knew there was nothing to be gained in trying to justify his entirely reasonable action. In his eyes he had averted a major disaster. Even if the house mightn't have actually gone on fire, there could have been serious smoke damage, and a major clean-up to follow. But he wasn't going to try and go there. He was learning the way of the slave. Alice was still talking at him. She's really getting into her school teacher mode, thought Dan resentfully. Maybe she's missing teaching since she switched full time into admin. She seemed to be enjoying this anyway.
'Now it doesn't matter how important or necessary you might think that other something is. Until you are told to do something else you keep doing what you have been instructed to do. That is what a slave does. Understood?'
'Yes, Head Mistress,' said Dan again, staring at the floor about three inches below his head. He just wanted to get to bed now. It had been a long day and an even longer evening. He was tired and sore. But Alice wasn't done yet.
'Good boy. Now the phrase I want you to remember is; "The slave does not act until the slave is told to act." I am going to flog you with this cord while you repeat that phrase twenty times. What phrase are you going repeat?'
'The slave does not act until the slave is told to act,' parroted Dan, as he realised with dread his punishment wasn't coming to an end just yet.
'I'll keep count for you, now start.'
'The slave.. ouch.. does not act.. ouch.. until the slave is told.. ouch.. to act.
'One.'
The slave does not.. ouch.. act until.. ouch.. the slave is told to act.. ouch...
'Two.'
Alice steadily flogged Dan across his stretched shoulders and upper back. Walking to and fro as she counted, swinging the knotted cords with a steady rhythm and considerable vigour. She noted with disinterest the thin red lines left by the cords and the small raised pink lumps on Dan's flesh where the knots struck. Clearly not as severe an impact as with a cane. Dan did not jump like he did with each cane stroke. He did flinch now and again as she connected with a previously reddened area. She would try for an even criss-cross pattern over his shoulders, a bit of a design feature, she thought, like a criss-cross trellis. Dan sounded a little teary towards the end and a sob or two escaped. He's probably pissed into his diaper by now thought Alice as she beat out his last line.
The slave .. sob.. does not .. ouch...act until .. ouch.. the slave ..sob.. is told to act.. ouch...
'Twenty. That's you done. Now let's get you to bed, Slave
'Yes.. sob.. Head Mistress.'
Alice freed Dan's ankle and wrist cuffs from the chair and led him to the bed, his ankle chain clanking quietly. It had been three hours or more since he has used the toilet but he knew better than to ask. She stood over him as him laid himself gently and gingerly on his back on the shiny plastic surface of the mattress. Dan hadn't made up his mind whether it would be more comfortable to lie face down with his somewhat sore ass and very sore shoulders in the air, or on his back so that his cock cage was not pressing into him. Alice made up his mind for him when she took hold of his wrist nearest to her, pulled it up beside Dan's head and clipped the wrist cuff to a ring set into the bedpost near the edge of the bed.
She stretched across him so that she could clip his other wrist to the bedpost at the other side of the headboard. As she did, one breast, inside her thin cotton night shirt, rubbed across Dan's face. Alice was acutely aware of what was happening as her nipples were hard, full and very sensitive, having suffered tender tortures from Beth's fingers, lips and even teeth for the last few hours.
Alice deliberately let one nipple linger on Dan's lips. She brushed it over and back once or twice, pretending to struggle to fasten the wrist cuff to the far bedpost. Dan winced as Alice's nipple slid across his lips. He could not believe that she was actually doing this to him. His body was sore and tired and now she wanted to make him horny on top of everything. He had the good sense to keep his lips firmly pressed together in spite of Alice's provocation. But he couldn't stop his cock stirring and lifting. Alice noted the movement in his diaper and smiled to herself. A final tease to send the slave into the night, beaten but not broken. Just the way she wanted him. An uncomfortable night was guaranteed. All in all it had been a good day of slave training, she decided.
'Goodnight, slave. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow. I thought it best to keep your hands away from your balls. We don't want any more hanky panky down there, do we?
'No, Head Mistress,' groaned Dan as his cock cage twitched again and the diaper tented noticeably higher.
'Sleep well.'
'Yes, Head Mistress. Goodnight.'
Alice quickly went up the cellar steps, closed and locked the door, then switched out the light. As Dan's eyes adjusted to the inky blackness he welcomed the slow blinking of the red camera light above him; his pal, the eye in the sky.
Dan lay very still, looking up at the blinking light, each arm out sideways and clipped to the bed post, his legs slightly apart, the night-time ankle chain dragging slightly from his left leg, his cock twitching spasmodically in its cage as the memory of Alice's nipple lingering on his lips refused to fade. He found that if he didn't move his back and bum, he was reasonably comfortable. There was just a steady warm stinging all over his back from the flogging, but it didn't actively hurt. He settled in for what looked like being a long night. But Mother Nature came to his rescue. A great tiredness, both physical and mental, overcame him and he rapidly fell into a deep sleep. The just sleep of the tired and tortured slave.
