Over the Lap of Luxury Pt. 6
Asher
The only good thing to come from this new assignment was Portia changing their smart-bands' LED lettering to blue. The bands around their wrists were how servants were collared, politely and a little more discreetly, and blue signified that they were fully trained. It was something both took a little pride in, but Asher guessed that their punishments would increase along with their ranks. Neither had the excuse of not knowing better now.
The pressure was on after a few days of no progress with their latest goal: White-hat hacking the mansion's video surveillance system. Molly had already been kept shamefully naked when at home, wearing nothing but socks, shoes, and her smart-band. She failed to adjust, constantly blushing when witnessed by the myriad other workers in the mansion. Last night, she'd complained bitterly to Asher about the constant shame, hiding under his sheets and in his arms.
If watching his girlfriend suffer wasn't enough, Asher was beginning day five of chastity. The humiliating device around his genitals was a constant reminder of his submissive otherness, even more than his uniform and smart-band. He could feel it when he closed his eyes, or after hours, or even at four in the morning when woken suddenly by his body's natural reaction to certain exciting dreams.
One morning, an impatient Portia stood before them, arms crossed. "What is the problem? Why aren't you able to do it?"
Asher wanted to scream that being a programmer wasn't the same as being a hacker, but he refrained, desiring the ability to sit down again.
Molly spoke up on both of their behalves. "They don't teach you how to break into security systems in college."
"Then find another way," she said. "Be creative. Be intuitive. You're both very smart. Figure it out."
"Yes, ma'am," said Asher.
The two servants had an idea the following day. But to enact it, one of them had to check Nick's office, which was absolutely verboten. Asher volunteered for the job, because it was largely his own idea. It was complicated, but involved trying to get into Nick's laptop to have greater access to the local network.
Unfortunately, Nick ran a technology company, and was decent enough with it himself. His laptop was protected by a numerical code that Asher already knew from experience would lock itself up in ten failed attempts. With a look behind himself, he checked that the coast was clear. Then he tried to find clues, like birthdays and anniversaries.
In his search, he happened upon a collection of envelopes from Mrs. Bennett, who had been blackmailing Nick for years now. Asher eyed the photo in one of them, capturing Nick in the heat of a moment with a bot that mops hardwood floors. For some reason the man who was in an open marriage, permitted to date whomever he chose, seemed to prefer the bot's soft, wet, rhythmic stroking.
"Asher..."
His name was spoken, softly and coldly, a lot like he imagined serial killers talked. Asher looked up from his seat, normally Nick's leather desk chair, and slowly put the photo right back down. He didn't expect Nick back home from his trip so soon. "I- I'm- I was trying- Mrs. Darrow told me to get-"
Nick had a firm grip and was twice Asher's weight, built like a football player. He nearly dragged the thin servant boy into the library, where Portia was enjoying some literature. How nice it is to have a hobby in common with his mistress, Asher thought idly, before being thrown before her feet. He landed on his hands and knees and had the good sense to stay like that.
"He was in my office - rifling through papers, in the letters, looking at photos! Please punish him soundly, darling, before I do it myself."
"Asher! What were you thinking?"
"I thought maybe I could get in through the administrator privileges on his laptop, but I needed a code, and-"
"Quiet." Portia spoke down to him from her perch on the sofa while Asher looked pleadingly up into her eyes from the floor, sitting submissively on his knees. "You knew there wouldn't be a code in those photos."
"Yes, ma'am, I- I'm so sorry, I just- I was... there's no excuse. But I'm sorry!"
"You were curious. All intelligent people are naturally curious. But your obedience, respect, and servitude always come first. And by now you should know that! I'm going to have to punish you severely for this."
She got up, pushed the white button on the wall, and called to Molly over the intercom. "Bring Asher's small wooden paddle to the library, please."
The punishment Veronica once took with that very paddle flashed through his mind. It looked brutal. She was writhing and sobbing and screaming from the start. For embarrassing Portia's husband and breaking one of the biggest rules, Asher expected his bottom would be spanked even worse than that.
While Portia waited for Molly to return with the horrible little paddle, she ordered Asher to stand up straight and put his hands on his head. She began undressing him.
The stripping proved to be a punishment in itself. She lowered his pants and underwear, giving her very dominant husband Nick a good view of his penis, shriveled up in its chastity cage. He acknowledged Asher's predicament with a wicked grin, anger still churning in him. "Keeping him like that for the next five years would be fair," he said.
"Maybe I will," said Portia.
"Please don't, I'm so sorry," said Asher.
"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to my husband," said Portia, giving Asher's newly bared bottom a solid spank with her hand.
"Ah! I-I'm very sorry for going into your office and um... looking where I shouldn't have looked. Sir. Please... please please-"
"Please what?" asked Nick.
"Please have mercy on me," said Asher, every word a terrified, trembling whisper.
"No," said Nick, he paced a little through the private library, as though trying to walk off his rage. It seemed like his attempt was unsuccessful. "You deserve to get the spanking of your life. I want you reduced to tears. Once you're bawling like a little boy I'll know for sure how sorry you are."
He'd never cried more than one or two tears after his worst punishments, and so he looked to Portia for help. She only shook her head at him. "He's right. That's what you deserve, Asher. I know you're overwhelmed with your new assignment, but you need to figure it out. There are worse punishments out there than what you'll receive today."
