Page 266 of On a Fault Line

I had way too much fun finding “torture” devices to use on Penny the first chance she was back in my possession.

Resting my hand on her ass cheek, I massage it in circles. “I feel like this was a long time coming and well overdue.”

Then wielding it in the air, I allow my palm to connect with her fleshy globe. I savor the sting, as well as Penny’s high-pitched squeal.

She’s delightful when she’s at my mercy.

I repeat the process with her other cheek.

Penny bucks off the bed, with whatever slack I allow in her chains.

“That’s payback.”

I spank her a few more times, evening out the redness all over her sensitive skin.

“Your turn,” she says jokingly.

I smile down at her. “You look so sexy wearing my mark. You’ll look even sexier with some more jewelry.”

Kneeling beside her, I place the red ball gag at her lips, reveling in the euphoric feeling of Penny’s shock.

“No,” she says, shaking her head.

“It’s your mouth that always gets you into trouble first,” I say, tracing her lips with my thumb. “And it’s your”—I jerk my finger away—“ouch.”

She fucking bit me.

Straddling Penny, I suck my thumb between my lips, making a point of licking the blood from where she extracted. “Little vampire.”

I secure the ball gag into her mouth, tightening the straps around the back of her head.

“Hmph…”

“Perfect.”

Then I detach Penny from her chains, just long enough to put her on her back and reattach them with a simple click to the corresponding posts.

I want to see her eyes better. I want her to know just who is going to be claiming her—for keeps.

Bending over her, I kiss around her lips with controlled gentleness and then move down to her perfect nipples to reciprocate the treatment she did to my finger.

What’s fair is fair.

Reveling at how the restraints allow for Penny to thrash around but just with a few inches, I sit back on my heels and admire my view.

But she is missing something.

Leaning back over the bed, I reach into the drawer and then dangle the collar on my finger.

Penny’s eyes watch my every move while I latch it around her neck.

“I hope you know just how exquisite you look right now wearing my collar.”

Her eyes soften their once hard stare at me. I think she’s a bit salty her attitude got exactly what it deserved. She should know what I’m capable of and what I’m not willing to put up with in regard to her sass.

“If this becomes too much for you or you want me to stop, all you need to do is close your eyes. Nod if you can understand me.”

And she does.
