against his chest. ‘Sir,’ she began, slowly.
‘Mmm?’ he smiled.
‘Are you still planning to punish me?’
‘I am,’ he said. ‘But since you’ve been so good and brave in
telling me how you feel, I’m going to give you a choice. You can be spanked, or
you can be flogged.’
Her heart began to race. He was giving her an easy out with the
spanking, but she knew what she wanted. ‘Flogged. Hard.’
He tensed slightly in surprise, and pulled back to look her in the
face. ‘Flogged as hard as I decide you need to be, my love. But out of curiosity,
why do you want to be flogged hard?’
‘I’ve read a lot about it, and I feel drawn me to it. I want to
know what it’s like.’
‘It can feel like many things, depending on how it’s done. But you
want it hard?’
‘Yes, Sir. I want it to hurt. A lot.’
He nodded. ‘Good enough. For now.’ He helped her out of the
shower, and dried her off. ‘Go and sit on the bed.’
Chapter 8
Master Jake put two floggers on the bed; each fearsome-looking in
its way. He picked up the one nearer to her, and offered it to her. ‘Go ahead;
take a good look at them. See how they feel.’
The handle of the lighter one was wooden, with some kind of
grippy-tape wrapped around it. It was lighter than she’d have thought, and the
long, thin leather falls were buttery soft as she let them run through her
fingers.
‘The falls on this one are suede. They’re very soft, and can give
a pleasant sensation as they move over your skin, but they can also sting quite
a bit.’
She nodded, and picked up the other flogger. This one had a steel
handle. It was heavier, and carried far more promise of pain. She turned it
over in her hand, experimentally slapping the long, thick leather falls against
her thigh, wincing when she hit a bit too hard.
‘This one is what we call a ‘thuddy’ flogger,’ he said. ‘As you
can see, the falls are more substantial, and they’re stiffer. If you’re given a
serious flogging from one of these, chances are you’ll be marked for some days
to come. You’ll be badly bruised, and probably get some welts. If I were to use
too much force, it could break the skin, though it’s not specifically designed
to draw blood, and that’s certainly not my intention for us tonight.’
‘I want to know what it feels like to take a real flogging,’ she
said, determinedly. ‘I don’t want you to hold back.’
The Doms exchanged a look.
‘This is where you need to bear in mind that your Dom is a
sadist,’ said Master Dan. ‘He hasn’t really shown you what that means, yet, so
be careful what you ask for.’
‘It means I’m going to be very careful,’ said Master Jake. ‘We’ll
start off with the suede, and then you can decide if you’d like to try the
other one.’ He reached into a drawer, and took out a length of shimmering
orange silk. ‘I’m going to blindfold you for two reasons. One is so that you
can concentrate on how you’re feeling. The other is simply to protect your
eyes.’
‘Yes, Sir.’
His blue eyes twinkled. ‘I like it when you say yes, Sir without question.’
‘I’m into it, Sir,’ she smiled back.
He took a translucent blue egg from the cart and lubed it. ‘Master
Dan, would you present the sub in the insertion position.’
‘Flat on your back, Cady,’ said Master Dan.
He moved onto the bed with grace and purpose, and before she knew
it, her ass was propped up on his thighs, while her legs were draped over his
bent arms. She wiggled experimentally, to see if she could move. She couldn’t.
‘None of that,’ said Master Dan, sternly.
Master Jake’s fingers were at her entrance, spreading her open.
The slippery egg was pressed firmly against her, and she took a sharp breath as
her sex stretched wide to swallow it. His fingers followed it in, pushing it
deeper, heightening the delicious fullness. ‘How’s that?’
‘Wonderful, Sir. Full.’
Master Dan allowed her back down.
