****************************
Damu had allowed Ramesh to sleep on the floor beside her bed as a reward for his good behaviour, instead of sending him back to the kennel.
Ramesh woke up to a delightful sight - his mistress sound asleep half naked, her chest rising slowly up and down as she breathed, her beautiful breasts on display, her butt-crack visible through the sheer material of her panties, her long silky smooth legs bare and inviting. Ramesh could still smell her juices on him as she hadn't allowed him to wash up after he serviced her orally last night. He couldn't control himself as his morning wood became hard, and he started masturbating, his hands stroking his hard cock.
"You disgusting creep, what the fuck are you doing?" Mallika's stern voice brought him back to reality. Lost in his fantasy, he hadn't noticed Mistress Mallika entering the room.
Her loud voice woke up Mistress Damu too. As soon as she saw Ramesh, his throbbing penis in his hands, she understood what had happened. She got off the bed and kicked him hard in his stomach. "I let you sleep in here as a reward, and this is how you repay my generosity?" she thundered.
Ramesh realised his folly and knew he was in for a big punishment. He crawled back to Mistress Damu, prostrated in front of her and begged, "I am sorry Mistress. I got carried away looking at you. I promise I will never make such a mistake again."
The other two girls had also entered the room by now, hearing the commotion.
"I will cut off your balls and castrate you, so yeah, you won't be able to make such a mistake again even if you wanted to," Damu said, the anger in her voice indicating that it was not an empty threat. She wasn't a shy girl and she knew men admired her body, giving her more than a second glance as she walked down the streets. However, the thought that this pathetic little slave had the audacity to rub himself looking at her when she was asleep made her feel 'violated' and she really meant to punish him for that. She temporarily forgot her rule of not causing 'permanent damage' as she repeatedly kicked Ramesh on his head, face, chest, wherever her feet landed. One of her kicks had cut his lip and he was bleeding from his mouth.
"Damu, stop, that's enough! You are hurting the poor guy! He's bleeding," Priyanka intervened.
"I don't care. I want him to bleed from all his holes. Fucking creep," Damu was not in the mood to be pacified.
"I will make sure he doesn't do it again. But for God's sake, stop kicking his face now!" Priyanka said in a firm tone. She stepped between Damu and Ramesh, and took his leash in her hands and started walking off.
Ramesh was grateful for her intervention. He knew he might be punished by Damu later, and deservedly so, but maybe she will cool down a bit and be less harsh on him. He had a black eye, a cut lip and his cheeks were swollen.
Priyanka took him outside the building, and walked across the grounds, Ramesh trailing her like a faithful dog. She wanted to put some distance between Damu and him. She stopped to sit at a bench near the lake, and Ramesh immediately bent down to kiss her feet. "Thank you for saving me Princess," he said, his eyes showing how much he appreciated her help.
"What you did was not a nice thing to do, Ramesh. I can understand why Damu is so mad. I just didn't want you to be accidentally blinded or have your nose broken, hence I stepped in," Priyanka said. "Once Damu calms down, she may still punish you, and I won't be able to stop her," she continued.
"I understand, Princess, and I am truly sorry," Ramesh said.
"Promise me you will never do such a shameful thing again," Priyanka said, looking into his eyes.
"I promise, Princess," Ramesh replied sincerely.
The three girls came out of the castle too and started approaching them. Damu seemed to have calmed down a bit, but Ramesh knew from the look in her eyes that he was in for some punishment.
"We have decided on your punishment. Public flogging in front of the entire castle staff, so that everyone here knows what a fucking creep you are," Gayatri announced. Ramesh didn't dare say a word in protest.
Half an hour later, the scene was set. The entire castle staff had assembled on the grounds - the security guys, the butler, Lucy the housekeeper, the gardener, the kennel master, the stable hand, and the chauffeur. Ramesh saw a large whip in the hands of the stable hand, and shuddered at the thought of being whipped with that.
