Sheila and I had been secret lovers for several months, stealing glances at church and Bible study until we could be alone in her house a few times a week. No one suspected that the pastor's wife was getting off with a woman from the congregation. We knew what we were doing was wrong, but our relationship made us each feel whole, so we justified our affair as a way to for her to be happy in her marriage. And it made it more tolerable for me to be living at home with my parents again in my conservative hometown.
We were both caught up in the bliss of our newfound relationship that nothing seemed like it could go wrong. Until Mike came home unexpectedly one day and everything changed.
We didn't hear him come in the front door and he caught us completely off guard. I was naked and cuffed to the headboard, my legs spread wide open with Sheila's fingers buried in my pussy, her mouth on my clit. I was moaning in pleasure, feeling the warmth of her mouth on my most sensitive parts, when we were startled by a loud yell.
"Sheila! What the hell is this?" Mike roared.
My eyes flew open and I looked towards the doorway where Mike stood staring at us, his face contorted in rage. Sheila sat up quickly on her knees, but didn't look at Mike. She stared down at the covers of the bed and looked terrified. Her lips and chin glistened with my juices.
Mike looked at us for a moment, collecting his thoughts, then said quietly "Sheila, get the belt."
I saw Sheila's lip tremble and remembered her telling me about the time he hit her after catching her masturbating. I could only imagine how much worse this punishment would be. I didn't want to see her get hurt and I didn't want her to associate our time together with the pain that was to come. I watched her slide off the bed and disappear into the walk-in closet.
I looked back at Mike who was looking at me spread out on the bed. I must have had a look of panic on my face and my chest was heaving from my near climax and now my fear for Sheila. I couldn't get up due to the cuffs holding me to the bed. I looked down at my body and realized my legs were still wide open, my aroused, swollen labia clearly visible. I quickly brought my legs together in embarrassment. When I looked at Mike again, I noticed something else in his face beneath the rage. His mouth was set in a sinister grin. It was then that I noticed the bulge in his pants and realized he was aroused.
Sheila returned with a brown leather belt. It was wider than was fashionable and looked faded and worn. "Mike, please," I began to plead on Sheila's behalf, but he cut me off.
"You will call me Reverend! I am a man of God and you would do well to remember that before you commit obscenities in my house."
"Yes, Reverend. I'm sorry, Reverend. But please don't punish Sheila. It's my fault. I tempted her. Punish me instead."
Mike considered this for a moment. He looked at Sheila and asked "Is what Miss Ingram says true? Was this her doing?"
Sheila looked down at the ground and didn't answer. "Sheila," I said quietly. She looked at me. "Let me take the punishment. You don't deserve it." The look in my eyes told her that I wanted this. And she knew enough to realize then that I wasn't just doing this to protect her. She realized that I really wanted to be punished by her dominant husband.
"Yes, it was her idea, Reverend. She tempted me," Sheila said quietly to Mike.
He had a grim, determined look on his face, but I could he was just as aroused as ever. Sheila handed him the belt. He looked at me on the bed and instructed Sheila to unhook my right hand and attach it to the same bed post as my left. Once my hands were shackled to the same post, he told me to turn over. I complied, trying not to seem too eager. I could almost feel the leather slapping against my skin and my pussy started to throb in anticipation.
"Put the pillows under her," Mike commanded. Sheila took two bed pillows and placed them under my pelvis to position me for punishment. I was stretched out diagonally across the bed, my ass propped up in the air.
"You have defiled my wife, Miss Ingram and I will not stand for that. But worse, you have committed an abomination before God. You must be punished appropriately."
He rolled his sleeves up. "Now tell me what you are," he commanded.
"I'm a sinner, Reverend."
"You are worse than a common sinner. You are an adulterer and a whore! You are a harlot!"
"I am. I am a harlot," I repeated.
"I am going to punish you for your own good. Satan is working through you and needs to be driven out."
"Yes, Reverend. Drive the devil out. I want to be saved." I said these words, wishing he would get to the punishment already. I didn't believe any of it. I wasn't worried about eternal damnation. I knew deceiving Sheila's husband was unethical, but I didn't really think our actions were such an atrocity.
"There is hope yet for your wretched soul."
The first lash with the belt took my breath away. This wasn't like the whippings I had had in the past. He brought the belt down hard and it cut into my thighs and ass cheeks. It stung like nothing I'd ever felt. I cried out in pain. Before I could process how different this experience was from my expectation, he brought the belt down on me again, and again, each smack as painful as the last. My skin was burning. I felt tears stinging my eyes. I tried to fight them back so Sheila wouldn't see. I buried my face in the bed covers to muffle my cries and to hide my tears.
The Reverend grunted with exertion as he lashed me with his belt. Sheila stood silently at the end of the bed, watching us, transfixed. She had been the subject of his beatings, but she had never observed a punishment before.
After 10 lashes, the Reverend stopped. The back of my thighs and ass felt like they were on fire. "Turn over," he told me. I was scared. I didn't want to feel the sting of the belt on my more sensitive skin. I hesitated. "Sheila, help your shameless whore turn over."
Sheila moved to the bed. She lightly ran her hands over my burning flesh to provide some relief. Her cool fingers felt glorious after the sting of the leather strap of the belt. She moved the pillows beneath me and coaxed me to turn onto my back. When I turned over, she looked into my eyes and saw the tears I had been hiding. She looked alarmed, but I shook my head slightly at her and gave her a quick smile to let her know I was OK. I didn't want her to come to my defense and risk the Reverend's wrath. Despite the pain and fear, I was exhilarated and didn't want my punishment to stop.
Sheila climbed back off the bed and resumed her position of watching.
When I looked at the Reverend, I realized he had swapped the belt out for a leather cat o' nine tails, one that Sheila had used on me on many occasions. He gazed down at my naked body. My nipples were erect and I felt his gaze linger on them. I kept my legs together, hoping to protect my delicate skin from the whip's sting. After a moment, he began to whip me with the cat. Unlike the beating he gave me on my ass and thighs, he alternated lighter and harder strikes. He alternately struck my thighs, stomach and breasts. The feel of the leather strips on my nipples was arousing and I found myself squirming on the bed.
He sensed my arousal and seemed to grow angry. "Open your legs," he demanded. I reluctantly complied, feeling helpless as my sex was fully exposed. Sheila had never struck me there. When he struck my crotch with the cat, I felt my breath catch. A hard sting hit my vulva, then my clitoris. I instinctively closed my legs to protect myself. "Open your legs, you whore!" he yelled as he struck my breasts hard. I opened my legs wider than I had before. He continued his assault, bringing the leather strips down between my legs. The delicate skin of my inner thighs stung. Another blow landed against my exposed labia. Although it hurt, I could feel myself growing wet.
As he continued to whip me, my arousal grew. I started to moan and couldn't help wiggling my hips, wishing for more contact against my engorged sex. Suddenly, the Reverend stopped. He examined the ends of the cat and must have found they were damp. He looked down at my pussy.
"Are you enjoying this, Miss Ingram?" he sounded incredulous. I didn't answer. I dared not admit the truth, but I didn't want to be caught in a lie.
"You are more depraved than I realized. The devil has a strong hold on you." It occurred to me then that Sheila had never become aroused by her husband's punishment and this was an unexpected reaction on my part. While I am sure he had been aroused by whipping her, and now me, he didn't expect me to become aroused from the whipping.
"Let's find out what a whore you really are," he said, as he began to undress. He unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it onto a chair beside the bed. I saw that he had a nice chest covered in curly brown and grey hairs. He kicked off his shoes. Then he unbuckled his pants and stepped out of them. I saw his cock straining against the cotton of his black briefs. He removed them and his cock sprung straight out, about average length and curving slightly to the left. He was circumcised and the head of his cock was much wider than the shaft. I stared at it, contemplating what it would feel like sliding inside me. But surely he wasn't going to have sex with me. He was the pastor of my church. He had just condemned me for adultery.
