Naked and facing downwards; my ankles held apart by the metal bar, bound to the bottom of the bed; my wrists strapped together and stretched up to the headboard. Body taunt. Waiting. Waiting.
I can hear you breathing, walking around the bed, contemplating what lies ahead. The sound keeps me alert, completely aware of where I am. I shut my eyes, my imagination running wild on what you might do, where you might begin.
"Shhhh", you say, as if you know the turmoil going on in my head. A hand strokes my hair, fingers trail down my spine, sending goosebumps across my flesh.
I hear the air move, then sound of leather meeting skin. The sting hits a moment later as my brain registers what's happened; that it's MY skin that's been struck! My arse cheek screams while I bite my lip.
Another strike with the paddle, this time across the other cheek. Again, I take it, I breathe through it, though I can feel every nerve ending fighting for attention.
Strike after strike hits my flesh, first one cheek then the other, over, and over, stronger, and stronger.
I won't cry out, won't make a sound. I know that's what you want, for me to take this, to learn from it. I try to concentrate on my breathing, but my teeth find my lip again. But biting down would spread the sensations, and I know you would not approve.
Then, I hear the air move again and brace for another. Nothing? But I still feel it; still register the pain. Or is the absence of the pain that I'm feeling? I can't hold back the mew that escapes from my lips. Disappointment? Desire? The sensation doesn't last long as you resume, and more strikes reach their mark.
Four more, then nothing. I can't help but raise my arse to the air, to meet what I know I want. Know I need.
Another couple, then I hear you move away. Have you finished with me? Did I not please you in taking what you gave?
My disappointment is short lived. Even as I contemplate begging you for attention, the air moves once more. This time the strike is severe, hard, burning! I can't help but cry out, even though I know it will mean more. I can feel my arse cheek tingle with the afterpain, soon to be joined by the other side. Again, I can't hold back the sound that escapes me.
