(With this chapter our story comes to a close, unfortunately. Lamignonne and I had thought to make this a longer work, perhaps even a novel, but her life suddenly became extremely busy and she had no more time to write.
We're still in touch, at least occasionally, so it's not impossible that we'll come back to Marie's adventures some day, but probably not any time soon.
I hope you've enjoyed it. --Zen)
Marie was still straddling him, eyes closed and trying to catch her breath, her body still shuddering with the pleasure of her final orgasm, when he pushed her off his lap and onto the floor. With her arms still cinched behind her she had no way to stop her fall or brace herself for the impact, and she cried out as she fell. She landed flat on her back, wrenching her shoulders painfully in the process, and cried out a second time.
She was not the least bit puzzled, however. She knew she had failed to inform him before she came the last time and that there would now be consequences. There was a moment of apprehension...which to her surprise dissolved almost immediately, absorbed into the pool of serene acceptance which now lay at her core. She didn't care about anything just then, as she lay on the floor, still shaking with the occasional aftershocks of her climax. He would punish her, yes. And that was as it should be and she was glad of it.
As he stood up, seeming to tower over her as she lay looking up at him, she couldn't help herself: she gave him a smile that held all the love she felt for him in that moment.
Amazingly, he didn't seem angry. He looked a little exasperated, maybe, as he shook his head at her, then he made an impatient motion with his hand and said curtly, "Turn over."
Marie rolled, with some difficulty, to her stomach, her heart speeding up again as he stood over her at her feet.
He can do anything he wants to me
, she thought, shivering in anticipation.
He knows I'll take it—and thank him afterwards
. She could feel his eyes on her as they both savored her helplessness and subjection.
She didn't know what she expected—blows from some mysteriously-appearing implement to start falling on her, maybe—but she was surprised when all he did was reach down and remove the cinch above her elbows. She sighed in relief as her shoulders relaxed, but he left her hands cuffed.
He told her to get up and she struggled to her knees first, craning her neck to look up at him as she said quietly, "Thank you for letting me fuck you, Master."
He raised an eyebrow, but didn't respond, only took her by the elbow once she'd stood and steered her to the stairs. Once at the top, he gave her a gentle push toward the bathroom. Suddenly realizing how badly she needed to use the toilet, Marie scampered in, somewhat relieved that he didn't follow her. At least he wasn't going to watch this time.
But, a few seconds later, Marie made the uncomfortable discovery that with her hands still bound, she had no way to clean herself. He'd set out a toothbrush for her, she saw—she must be spending the night, she thought happily—but she wouldn't be able to use it. Knowing her Master, this was not an oversight. Well, she had no choice. "Um, Master?" she called, but her voice came out hoarse and weak. She tried again. "Master, will you come and help me—please?"
He appeared in the doorway—grinning, the bastard. Marie hurriedly spread her legs and watched him practically swell with satisfaction.
"Wider," he ordered, just because he could, and she obeyed him. He helped her finish up, brushed her teeth for her, even brushed her hair until she was melting under his attentions. He stood behind her at the sink, and she met his eyes in the mirror as he massaged her sore shoulders, his strong fingers running over her silky skin. Suddenly unmindful that he didn't like her to speak out of turn, she blurted, "You're so handsome, Master!"
He turned her to face him and tipped her chin up, his twinkling eyes giving the lie to his grave tone. "Are you trying to flatter me, Princess?"
Marie's eyes widened and she hastened to say, "Oh, no, Sir—that is, I was just—just voicing my thoughts."
"Good. Because it won't get you out of your punishment."
She felt her knees go weak—and not with fear. "You could spank me, Sir," she breathed.
He reacted immediately—grabbing her hair, wrenching her head back and swiftly ripping off her nipple clamps with his other hand. While she gasped in pain, he growled, "What I
should
do is leash you to the end of the bed and make you sleep on the floor."
Marie felt crushed. Oh, how could she have doubted for a moment that he knew exactly how to punish her, really punish her and make her suffer? Not getting to share his bed tonight was the worst thing he could do to her right now, when all she wanted was to be close to him, to have his attention. "Please don't do that, Master," she pleaded. "I'm really, really, sorry—please punish me some other way,
please
!"
He watched her bottom lip trembling. God, he loved making her beg, especially beg for punishment, like she was now. He pushed her back so that she half-stood, half-sat on the edge of the sink. He forced her legs apart with his hands and then began to swat her pussy, hard, as he replied, "Then
stop
...
tell
ing me...
what
...to
do
with you!"
Marie held his gaze even as her eyes overflowed. She bit her lip and whimpered as each slap landed between her legs but she kept perfectly still until she was sure he had finished. Then she slid to the floor and took her kneeling position, wrists still cuffed behind her, looking up at him with tears rolling down her face. "I'm so sorry, Master," she whispered. "I'm your property, to do with as you wish, whenever you wish. I promise I'll never forget again." And with that she leaned back, sliding down the cabinet behind her until her shoulders, and then her head touched the floor, her legs sliding out from beneath her.
He stepped back, uncertain of what she was doing, and watched as she placed her feet on the floor, wide apart, and raised her hips as high as she could, offering him her slap-reddened pussy.
"Yours, Master," she said, her voice strained from keeping her position. "Only yours."
Damn, how did she do it? How did she get to him like that? He wanted to pick her up in his arms and hold her. He wanted to drop to his knees and fuck her just as she was. He felt himself stirring—again!—even though he had just come a few minutes ago. She brought out things in him he had never felt before...or had felt so long ago that he had forgotten. He had to fight to maintain his severe expression.
To distract himself he leaned down and gently separated her pussy lips with thumb & forefinger. Using his free hand, the one still holding the nipple clamps, he used the tip of his forefinger to stroke her clitoris. Not surprisingly it responded quickly to his ministrations, swelling up like a tiny cock as he watched. He heard a soft moan from Marie and saw that she had her eyes closed and was beginning to breathe heavily through her nose. He kept stroking her long enough to make sure that she was under his spell. Then he quickly opened one of the clamps and used it to seize her clitoris.
Marie shrieked. "Oh god! No! Please take it off, Master! Oh god, please!" ...But she held her position.
He admired her for that—even though these weren't his strongest clamps, it had to hurt like hell. And now her legs were starting to shake from the pain and the strain of holding her hips up off the ground. But he didn't want her to get complacent, and start thinking she could breeze through a punishment with her dignity intact. He knew that with time she'd learn not to presume, but for now, he had to put her in her place before he could hold her again.
