"Puppy, come." His husky baritone was loud and commanding. He watched as his pup, who was sitting obstinately across the room from him, lowered herself into a laying position, her refusal to move quite clear.
"Puppy. Get over here. Now."
He pointed to the floor at his feet in frank disbelief at her outrageous lack of obedience.
She had been trained better than this. However, as the room was littered with papers, each slightly damp and bearing a familiar set of teeth marks, he supposed he couldn't be too surprised.
His puppy, still young and in the midst of a rather arduous process of training, was always keen to avoid punishment. True, her desperate displays of submission and affection, especially in tandem with those warm, brown, imploring eyes, often worked to soften him (perhaps TOO often, now he had come to think of it), but this sort of behavior couldn't be excused.
When he had left a short time ago for a quick run to the grocery store, his much-adored babygirl had been quietly reading a book by the fire. When he returned only 45 minutes later, he had found that same little girl with her tail plug seated firmly in her ass, her pink collar around her neck, her puppy ears carefully framing her pretty face, and a living room that looked as though the Tasmanian devil had stopped by for a visit.
Papers, he strongly suspected but really hoped weren't, from his latest business venture scattered the floor in tatters. A cup of milk that had teetered and then spilled off the counter, still dripped quietly, as though afraid to disrupt the unfolding scene, and the plate on which, moments before, tonight's dessert of chocolate chip cookies had rested lay broken and empty on the floor.
And he had a puppygirl with wide, guilty eyes refusing to meet his gaze and laying resolutely and disobediently across the room.
He stormed across the room in three quick strides, grabbing her firmly by the collar before she even had a chance to make it back up to her hands and knees. He hauled her struggling form down the hallway by the leather she had so thoughtfully fastened around her neck into their bedroom and yanked off the sheet that covered her large kennel.
Luckily the ball gag he had used on her during their last training session still sat right on top and he didn't hesitate as he grabbed it and bent down to put his angry but controlled, face right into her frightened one. He didn't speak as he grabbed her face and wrenched her jaw open, forcing the gag between her full, luscious lips; a click and a snap, and it was secure.
As anticipated, the gag had an immediate effect of pushing her deeper into her role, into her submission, and he was left with a rather docile, if not a little anxious, pup. He opened the door to her kennel and beckoned her inside, but still, she remained immobile.
Apparently feeling as though she had finally won the silent staring contest with the floor, she looked up at him and whimpered, and then butted her head against his leg, trying to garner some sympathy, affection, forgiveness.
He remained firm. "Not this time, puppy. You've been a very bad girl."
She hung her head but didn't move. He sighed, and grabbed her leash off the bedside table, fastening it quickly to her collar. She looked surprised, but that surprise quickly melted into pain as he harshly smacked her ass.
"Into your kennel, right now, you naughty little puppy."
At his tone, she hastened to comply, both desperate to avoid more spanks and eager to get back into his good graces. He kept a tight grip on her leash and once she had fully entered the kennel, urged her to turn around so that she was facing front once more.
With that, he threaded the leash through the bars of the kennel before closing the door on her sad face. He pulled the leash taut and tied it off around the leg of their bed frame, only a few feet away, rendering her immobile inside the metal cage.
As she always did, she fought the restraint, trying to move back or side to side, only to find herself completely stuck, held firmly where he wanted her.
She whimpered again, this time with more volume, but he ignored her and lowered the sheet back down over her cage.
If she was good, she need only stay in their for 5 minutes, but the timer wouldn't start until she was settled and quiet, which she knew. But, being the predictable little thing that she was, he suspected it would be several minutes before she stopped crying and whining and lay quietly on the blanket that padded the cold plastic floor.
"That's right, good girl." Her owner spoke in quiet, reassuring tones, imagining his voice running over her like a warm bath (which she loved, no matter what form she was in), as he heard her starting to settle down. He sat on the edge of the bed, knowing that it might be detrimentally frightening for her if he left the room entirely, and rubbed his rough hands across his face tiredly.
Despite what she thought, having to punish her this way was not all that pleasurable for him, but he knew that it must be done. It wouldn't do, not for the well being of either of them, if she was allowed to believe that she ran this household. He also knew that she found strength, reassurance, and comfort in his dominance, even, and maybe especially when, that included punishment that she did, after all, thoroughly deserve.
Five minutes later, five long minutes that had felt like a lifetime for both Owner and pet, found him untying the knot in her leash and unlocking the entrance of her kennel. He stood outside and to the right of it, towering over her slowly emerging body.
He wanted nothing more than to squat and pet her, bathe her in affection and express the pride he felt at her obedience while in the cage (the first few times he had used this punishment on her, she whimpered uncontrollably and fought forcefully to find a way out the entire time), but he knew that it was crucial in this moment not to show weakness to her. She crawled out, unsteady on her limbs and immediately rolled onto her back at his feet, knees bent and spread wide, arms bending at the elbow in a prostrate symbol of begging, the perfect submissive little puppygirl. He grinned and finally allowed himself to squat down and rub his hands appreciatively across her soft skin.
"Good girl, that's my good puppy," he cooed, rubbing her head, her face, sliding his hands between her breasts, scratching her tummy,
"Such a good girl for your Owner."
She squirmed in delight at his praise, arching up to meet his hands, the greedy little affection hog that she was.
He ran one hand lower still, noting how she stilled when his knuckles brushed the bare mound of her pussy. Resolutely he continued down, removing all fingers from her flesh but one as he slid it down the pink lips of her folds. He pressed firmly and drew a tight circle on her clit, relishing the strangled cry that was immediately stifled by the gag in her mouth. Her eyes nearly rolled back into her head when he spread her pussy with his fingers, hiding nothing from his eager gaze, her tight little hole and most intimate spot, lewdly on display for him. Only for him. He dipped just the tip of his finger into that waiting warmth and laughed out loud when she immediately clenched around his exploring digit, as though trying to trap him and draw him further inside. He complied with this silent request, if only to see her reaction, and slid his finger all the way into her pussy.
