told you to hold still, right?” He snapped the cane into the inside of her right thigh. She shrieked. He whacked the soft flesh at the top of her left leg.
    “Right?”
    “Yes, you did.” Anna felt a wave of submissiveness wash over her. He was right. She’d stolen the money. Moved her hands? Also guilty. Caden just gave her what she deserved. Really? Do I deserve all this?
    The counter-thought rose up in her mind. This wasn’t her normal behavior. Submissiveness, enjoying pain, not her. Could she fight this devil inhabiting her flesh? Should she?
    “It’s hard to admit how you feel, Anna, but you like this. It’s chemistry. When I whip you, your mind releases endorphins and your brain treats the pain like pleasure. You’re feeling guilty now.”
    How did he know what she was thinking?
    “You shouldn’t feel guilty about chemistry. You believe you’re in control and thus responsible, but your meat is actually in-charge. Your mind just makes up excuses and then feels guilty about the things your body does.”
    Anna was too busy analyzing her emotions to respond.
    “I know because I’ve done this before. Many times. There’s no reason to blame yourself for what you enjoy. It’s natural. You’re a chemical reaction with the illusion of self-control.”
    What did he say?
    “You’ve done this with other women?”
    Her nostrils flared in sudden anger.
    “Yes. I don’t enjoy punishing men. I have my meat to deal with, too.”
    Were they prettier than she was? Thinner?
    I can’t believe I’m jealous of the other women he’s whipped, but I am.
    “Don’t be jealous, Anna. You’re the best.” The solid head of his dick replaced the cane between her thighs.
    “I’m aroused by how game you are. Most of the girls are either far from innocent or too resistant. You’re so fucking special.”
    Wow, first I’ve heard him curse. I must be having an effect on him.
    His hardness left her and she pushed her ass back toward him, missing it.
    “I have to do my duty.”
    Anna thrilled to hear his voice choking. He must not want to whip her any more. Caden must feel he had to keep hitting her for her own good. The poor man, dealing with so many responsibilities. With the weight of keeping the money coming in faster than it went out. Keeping hundreds of human beings on-task and in line. Working hard all day and not watching videos, not goofing around on websites like many of her co-workers when a manager wasn’t around.
    Not stealing.
    “We’ll call that enough with the cane.”
    Then she heard the now familiar whistle of leather on air, and the sharp pain of the riding whip slashing over her thigh, just below the cheeks of her ass. Either Caden was going easy on her, or he was right about her chemistry, his strikes didn’t hurt as much now as before. Instead, each was more like a stimulating sting, the sharp bite of carbonation, or the in-taken breath induced by a smear of wasabi on raw tuna.
    Again and again, he pulled out his whip, its whirring tip making a humming noise. She squealed with each one and counted five strikes all on her lower thigh.
    “Fun, right?” Caden said. “Some people are better at converting pain into pleasure than others. You’re a natural pain-slut.”
    He touched her face.
    “Red like a beet,” That’s what her mom called her when Anna flushed like she flushed now.
    “If you want to turn me on, I wish you would kiss me instead.”
    “Are you sure about that, Anna? Here’s your choice again,” His hand was back to rubbing some soothing cream on where he’d whipped her. “Remember my offer? You stay, no bad marks on your record. The problem with the money goes away. What you’ll lose is,” He rubbed his finger over the sensitive lips of her pussy. “Me. I won’t punish you ever again. I won’t talk to you. Ms. Tolling will handle any discipline that comes up. If you want to leave, we’ll give you six months of severance and help you find something suitable.”
