I know that things will be serious this time when he brings me up to the dark play room next to my bedroom.

He turns to me, scanning me from head to toe.

“That dress looks lovely on you,” he says, and just when I want to thank him for the compliment, he steps forward and pulls it down off my shoulder and draws down the zipper in one swift motion. The dress falls down to puddle around my feet, leaving me almost naked. I’m wearing nothing but the stockings and a black garter belt underneath, and he stares at me hungrily with his approving gaze.

“This looks even better,” he says, stepping forward to pull me in for a kiss. I know he can’t resist the desire to touch me when I’m standing this exposed in front of him. I’m not surprised to feel his hand slip between my legs, urging me to spread them apart. I moan through our kiss when he slides his thick fingers along my damp entrance, humming with approval as he’s met with my dripping warm juices.

“So excited already,” he breathes after he breaks our kiss. “Get on there.”

He gestures toward the black leather bench that looks like a pommel horse. “Knees here, wrists over there.”

I follow his instructions and place myself on the horse as requested. He repositions me a little, so that my core is exposed on the edge, while I support myself on my knees and wrists. He fastens the shackles around my wrists first, making sure that they fit securely, but not too tight by wiggling them, and then he does the same around my knees.

“What do you think will happen now?” he asks. He‘s now standing at my back, his eyes resting on me as he watches me adjust to the bench.

“A spanking?” I ask, hope radiating in my voice.

He chuckles and walks over to the cabinet. My eyes follow him, as he opens the glass door.

“You say that as if you’re looking forward to it,” he says. “Remember, this is a punishment.”

“I am looking forward to it,” I tell him.

He doesn’t go for a whip or a flogger this time, both utensils I’m familiar with. I know what the pain of leather strings cutting into the flesh on your behind feels like. But I don’t know how it feels to be hit with a paddle, which is what he takes from the cabinet. It’s about as large as both of his hands put together and made of wood.

He sees my eyes widening in anxious fascination, as he walks back to the bench, approaching me with a dark promise in his smile.

“Read this for me,” he says as he holds the paddle up to my face.

A smile plays around the corners of my mouth when I see what’s written on the wooden paddle in mirrored text.

“Pet,” I read out loud.

“Good girl,” he praises me, tracing the paddle along my spine as he moves to the back of the bench.

“It’s time for you to learn your place,” he says, gently caressing my left ass cheek with the paddle as he speaks. “This will be written all over your perfect ass when I’m done with you. Would you like that?”

“Yes, Master,” I breathe, shivering with anticipation when he lifts the paddle up, only to move it over to my right side and stroke it along the curve of my other cheek.

“But you know what?” he says. “It’s not going to be easy to leave an imprint. It’ll take a while - and a lot of force. It will hurt, my pet. But that’s what you asked for, right?”

I close my eyes in shame. Admitting to my wishes is still the hardest part of all of this.

“Yes, Master,” I utter.

He lifts the paddle again, and I tense up to prepare myself for the first strike. But it doesn’t come. For moments that seem to stretch into eternity, he just lets me wait, trembling with expectation, my breathing accelerating with each passing second.

When the first blow finally does come, it doesn’t feel nearly as bad as I anticipated. He hits my left cheek, then my right, both with strong, but endurable slaps.

“That’s not going to leave a mark, Master,” I cautiously remark.

I hear him huff behind me.

“Impatient, are we?” he says, before unleashing two more beats on my skin. Each of them is stronger than the ones before, the pain now spreading through my behind in a ferocious wave.
