"I am going to go a little harder, alright?" The hand that rested on my lower back rubbed at it soothingly while he waited for my answer.

"Okay, Luca." I let out a shaky breath and clung onto his pants with trembling fists.

"Breathe." His hand on my back pressed firmly against me. "Relax."

Easier said than done, he wasn't the one getting his ass smacked by someone twice his size.

Yeah, it sucked this had to be done, but better establish a baseline rather than find out during the moment if he went too far by accident.

Smack!

"Oh fuck!" I gasped sharply with a loud cry. "Nghn fuck!" I whimpered with a shudder.

His firm voice wavered with concern as he rested his hand on my butt. "Too much?" No doubt if I looked back, then the corners of his lips would be frowning a little.

"No." Yeah, my answer surprised me, too. "I-it hurt, but it felt good… Better than the other." The rush of pleasure that chased the pain was so good.

Luciano's hand pulled back, and another pair of smacks landed on each of my ass cheeks, making me cry out in pain and pleasure. "Luca, more, please," I begged with a soft moan.

I could feel the tremors of Luciano's amused chuckle as he palmed my ass again. "Think we might have found your sweet spot, or at least getting very close to it." He commented before pulling his hand back and delivering another spank to my bubbly ass. "Think you can go harder than this?" He asked after giving me another spank.

"No." I immediately shook my head and looked back at him. "Think this is my limit." The thought of him going harder threatened to erode my arousal.

"Think you can orgasm if I keep going? Or do you want to try and see if you can come from being spanked?"

Intrigued, I pondered it for a second before giving him an unsure look. "That's actually possible? I could do that?" The thought of orgasming from non-direct sexual contact seemed a little absurd but interesting.

"Of course, but it's a tedious thing. You would have to hold out until the pain reaches a certain point where everything turns to pleasure. We don't have to try it if you aren't comfortable. It's not exactly a beginner thing either." His face remained in a patient and understanding smile as he rubbed my butt.

I didn't hesitate to give him a reply. "I want to try."

Oh well, it didn't hurt to try. Okay, it would hurt to try in this sense, but hey, either I get an orgasm or find out my limit with how many spanks I could take.

His face softened with concern as his eyes searched my face for any signs of hesitation. "Are you sure, amorina?"

"Yes, I am sure," I answered him confidently, giving him a reassuring smile.

His lips slowly curved into a soft smirk. "What's the safe-word again? Or if you can't use your words, then what's the gesture?" His hand playfully smacked my bottom as his eyes gained a wild look to them.

Gripping his pants, I shuddered at the look in his eyes. He looked a little too excited to have a go at me, and for some reason, that made my heart race with eagerness. With a confident smile, I replied in a single, shaky breath.

The hand on my back slid up and fisted the back of my hair, making me gasp and whimper from the tingling pain. With my upper body level with his legs, he slipped my legs under him and used one of his to pin the back of my thighs. "I can't wait until you let me spank your bare ass. Fuck, the thought of watching them turn red with the imprints of my hands or the belt drives me wild." He said through a feral grin.

A part of me wanted to pull my pants down this very instant to appease him, but the thought of exposing myself like that to him frightened me a little. "I'm sorry I can't give that to you right now." I still felt bad about how much I held out with Luciano because of my trauma.

No matter how much he reassured me whenever I brought up how unfair it was, it didn't really make me feel less guilty.

"I am more than happy with what you are willing to give me, amorina. Please, don't fret over it, as I have told you many times." How he could look so content with this restraint ate at me, knowing what kind of life he had before me. "If you keep it up, I will add it to your punishment list. You know I hate it when you put yourself down or feel sad about something out of your control."

"What? You can't punish me for that… Can you?" My list of punishable things wasn't too long… Hopefully…

Amused, he let out a dark chuckle and looked at me in such a way that made me want to kneel at his feet. "Oh baby, I can punish you for anything I want and deem necessary. So, keep that in mind as you continue to be a brat with me." The pressure at the back of my head tightened with his grip, making me gasp. "And since spanking will be on the table now. Well, for the sake of being able to sit and walk, I hope you think twice before being one."

Luciano didn't give me a chance to snap back as his hand started to deliver spank after spank to my ass. Whatever words wanted to come out of my mouth quickly caught in my throat as I was too busy yelping and moaning. Pain and pleasure ravaged my body with each spank. The burning always followed the sting of the impact, but then immediately with the burn came the surge of indescribable pleasure that had my pussy aching and clenching around nothing as I chased after my building orgasm.

It hurt so good. I wanted to scream at him to stop, but fuck, this red-hot pleasure was something else. Who gave a shit if I couldn't sit for hours after this, it would be worth it.

"Lu-ca… Close, please." I whimpered as I felt myself creeping close to the edge of utmost pleasure.
