dungeon master approaches.”
Normally, such a masquerade would’ve seemed comical to me,
but not now, not tonight. As the clang of footsteps echoed off the walls behind
me, I lost myself to the illusion. No longer was I a modern woman working on
her thesis. Instead, the magic of Lex’s club had changed me into a maiden in a
dungeon about to pay for some infraction or crime of mine.
“Good eve, my Lord,” the brothers said in unison.
“Good eve, gentlemen.” The voice sounded different yet
familiar.
I knew it had to be Lex. That knowledge got me vibrating
like a live wire.
Reed continued with, “The maiden awaits thee yonder, Sir.”
“Thy work is done here, gentlemen.”
Reed answered, “By your leave, My Lord.”
I heard him and Kane exit, leaving me alone with Lex.
He grabbed my chin, causing me to gasp.
“Look at me, Mia.”
“Yes, Sir.” I stared up at my punisher. A leather mask hid
most of his face, save his eyes and mouth. Thankfully, the blue eyes gazing
back at me were the giveaway. This was the man I’d hoped to see.
He was shirtless, exposing his eight-pack abs. His leather
pants were tight, giving me a clear view of the outline of his cock. Even his
boots, also black leather, complimented his sheer masculine air.
“Sub, are you ready to receive punishment?”
My eyes felt as big as saucers. “Yes, Master. I’m ready.”
“No, you are not. This dress impedes me.” His tone was low
and threatening.
He walked behind me. In a split second, he ripped the dress
off of me, shredding it into a worthless heap of fabric. “Better,” he growled.
The air hit my naked skin, and I felt gooseflesh pop up
everywhere.
“Now, to your punishment, little sub.” I heard him walk over
to one of the tables. “This paddle will work just fine on your pretty ass.
Tonight, I want you to hold back your cries and your tears for as long as you
can, understand?”
“Yes, Sir.” I wondered why he would have me do that, but of
course, I didn’t ask.
As if he had read my mind, Lex added, “By holding back, I’ll
be able to reach those last bastions of resistance inside you. With my help,
they will crumble to dust. I want your full surrender, and tonight, you will
give it to me.”
He rubbed the paddled against my ass.
“Get intimate with it, sub. Tell me how it feels.”
“Cold. Hard.” I felt my senses opening.
“And?”
“Dangerous.” A thrill went through me.
“Excellent.” His first swing came and landed in the middle
of my bottom.
Since my ass still ached from the previous night’s punishments,
I chewed on my lip, wanting to obey his command to not cry out from this added
sting. It worked, though some tears did well up in my eyes.
“Very good, sub. Very good.”
“Thank you, Sir.” Having my ass tortured by Lex might’ve
been considered kinky to most, but for me, being with him this way worked to
quiet my mind. There had been no painful past event that had kept my walls up.
Instead, my hesitations had always been about my distrust of my own instincts.
But Lex knew just what to do to get me out of my head and into a place where I
could relax and open up to pleasure.
“We’re not done. You understand that?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Whack. Whack. Whack. Whack.
The stinging pain to my ass had me fighting back my tears.
Still the burn sent sensations to my nipples and my clit until the ache had me
thrashing in the stocks.
Whack. Whack. Whack.
“M-Master,” I whispered. “Thank you.”
My toes curled and my hands became fists. Heat flashed
through my body. If I hadn’t been held in place by the pillory, I would’ve fallen
from the weakness in my legs.
Lex’s lips feathered across my ear, sending a shiver down my
back. “You’re doing great, Mia.”
I felt him rub my ass with his open hand, and my pussy got
so very wet.
“Thank you, Sir.”
“Can you take more, little sub?”
Could I take more? I wanted so much more. “Yes, Master.
More.”
“With my hand now,
