My day started out bad. My coworker was being a bitch for unknown reasons and my day was just a shit show after that. I tried to keep it to myself, but my husband was irritated that I wasn't on the same level as him. We had just finished dinner and the kids had just gone upstairs to play video games until bed. My husband turns to me and says, "Dragonfruit".
I set my jaw. "Yes sir". Admittedly there was a part of me that didn't want to submit to him right now. However, I said yes because I had agreed that I would submit whenever he asked unless I had a good and legitimate reason. Besides, whatever he had planned for me would probably make me feel better. When I get stuck in my head over things like this my anxiety has control. Having him take control removes the rest of the worries and allows me to process and move on.
"Tell the boys goodnight first." he told me.
I go up the stairs and tell the boys I'm tired and am going to bed early. We said our "I love you's", and I went to my bedroom.
I took off all my clothes as he closed and locked the door. "Lean over the bed, legs apart." He demanded sternly. I did what he said without hesitation feeling a super self conscious.
He got out a crop. I hate the crop, but it's the only thing quiet enough to use if the kids might hear. He rubs the crop up and down my ass and asks, "Do you know why I'm doing this?"
"Yes Sir"
"Tell me."
"I had a bad day Sir, and I wasn't treating you as well as you deserve."
"More than that, you were short tempered and looked at everything as a nuisance. How many lashes do you think you should receive?"
"I don't know Sir, I'm not sure how many times I may have been irritable without realizing it. Would 2 lashes per incident satisfy you, Sir?"
Without a word, he started to bring the cane down firmly across my back and ass. It was hard enough that the marks might not fade completely tonight. The sting of the crop drove all thoughts from my mind. There was just a stinging pain. I counted 18 lashes. As the pain turned to warmth across my skin I felt myself relax for the first time today.
"You'll also get 3 per incident per child."
I hadn't realized I had been that irritable, but I said, "Thank you, Sir."
I tensed back up waiting for the blows to come. "I won't start those yet. You need to learn that it's not ok to bring everyone around you down just because you had a bad day. If you need me to help you improve your day you should come to me and ask. Stand up and hold out your wrists." He placed a cuff on each wrist. "Over by the swing chair, hands above your head, back against the chair."
The chair is a large indoor/outdoor egg swing chair. When I lean back it arches my back. I feel totally vulnerable like this. He snaps my wrist cuffs together behind the chain, then slides them up until I am taught. "On your tiptoes." I sighed but complied.
Once he got me snapped into place he came around in front of me and grabbed and squeezed my cheeks with one hand making me look him in the eyes. "Do not sigh when I give you instructions. Follow directions and say 'Thank you Sir', or 'Yes Sir'. That's 5 more lashes."
I didn't say anything as he retrieved the cane and lashed me twice across the breasts and then five times across my stomach. "I added two more because again, you didn't say thank you Sir. I'll be watching TV." He said and turned and left. Locking the door behind him.
After 5 minutes I was already tired. After 10 minutes I was starting to ache. I began trying to adjust myself, and to find a way to get some relief for my wrists, shoulders and toes. At first I was switching between putting extra strain on my toes to relieve my wrists, then vice versa. It was when I got more daring and tried to tip-toe my way backwards so that the chair was supported on my back, that the chair swung off my back and bumped into the wall. It wasn't hard, but it was enough that I knew he would hear it. At this point probably 20 minutes had passed since he had left me here.
I was struggling to get back into my original position when he entered the room. The chair had swung around in front of me and I tried to twist and navigate it back around, but I was hurting myself trying to fix it. When he entered the room I stopped. At this point there wasn't much I could do anyway, and I probably looked foolish.
He said nothing. Instead he just stood there and watched me for a moment. I turned red knowing he was trying to figure out what I had done. After what seemed like forever he asked, "Does that feel better?"
"No Sir" I responded.
"Why?"
"Because now in addition to the pressure on my wrists, shoulders, and toes, my breasts are digging into the chair."
He let out a small breath of laughter, and I did too. It's not uncommon for me to want to fix something so bad I make it worse. He helped get me back into position and even lowered my cuffs a couple rings. I wasn't able to sit flat footed, but it felt like a huge relief for now. I was pretty sure I had a couple of scratches on me from the ordeal. I'd try to remember to check later, but more than likely I'd find one in a couple days and wonder where it came from.
"Since I'm here I think I'll go ahead and administer the next round of punishment. You get 9 lashes for your 3 incidents with Cameron." He picked up the cane and this time got me across the thighs. He started high working his way down, getting the tops of both thighs at the same time. He wasn't as harsh with these lashes. It still stung, and left a mark behind (with a cane it doesn't take much to leave a mark), but it wouldn't last too long. He looked at me, "Stripes look good on you." He winked at me and gave me a lopsided smile. "Be a good girl and don't cause any more interruptions."
"I won't, Sir."
He left the room again, and this time when the pain and discomfort started to come back to the forefront of what I was feeling, I concentrated on it. I have tinnitus and one of the things I learned is that you have to concentrate on the sound so that your brain will automatically start to block it out. I do that now. I lay my head back and close my eyes, and focus entirely on what I'm feeling. My shoulders are tightening, my hands are freezing, my wrists feel like they are being stretched.
