Cole's Mistake (Haven, Texas 8)

“Ah, there’s the sweet little subbie I met in the training sessions,” Saxon said, his voice lightening.

“Sorry, Sir,” she said to Julian.

He nodded at the bench. “Go climb on the spanking bench. You’re owed fifteen for putting yourself down and ten for trying to top from the bottom.” And she wouldn’t find the experience as pleasant as she might have hoped. She’d only ever had short, light, pleasurable sessions. This first punishment spanking was going to be hard on them both.

He moved to the bench after she’d climbed on and secured her wrists and ankles in the attached cuffs. Her forearms were resting on two wooden arm rests, her knees bent, her lower legs resting on two more leather-covered slats. Her ass was hanging over the edge of the bench.

He was aware of Saxon watching them but he felt more reassured than annoyed. After all, he was new to this. He trusted Joel. Any guidance was appreciated. He ran his fingers around the inside of the cuffs, checking they weren’t too tight. Saxon gave him an encouraging nod.

He crouched down by Keira’s face. She had it turned, her cheek resting against the padded top of the bench.

“All right, kitten?” he asked.

“Yes, Sir.” Her eyes already had a dreamy look. His girl loved being bound. He tucked some strands of her hair that had come loose behind her ear.

“What’s your safeword?”

“Red, Sir.” She’d decided on something simple and easy to remember.

“Use it if you need to, all right?” He wasn’t too worried. They were so in sync sometimes it almost felt like they were on

e person. There was nothing they kept from each other. If Keira needed their play to stop, she’d let him know.

“Yes, Sir.”

He traced a finger down her cheek. “You are so beautiful. I hate when you put yourself down, kitten, because you are everything to me. Without you, my world would be forever gray. I wish you could see what I see when I look at you. Someone kind, sweet and so beautiful that my breath stops every time I see you. Whenever you walk into the room it’s like my life starts all over again.”

She blinked, her eyes now glassy. “I’m sorry, Sir. I-I’ll try to see me the way you do.”

He smiled at her. “Good. And maybe this will help you remember.” He stood and ran his fingers along the top of her shoulders then he moved them slowly down her corset to where her short skirt had ridden up.

He slowly raised her skirt up over her ass. She made a quiet, whimpering noise. He knew she wasn’t eager to be naked in public. He was the only one who’d ever seen her without clothes, and for the longest time she’d only undress when the lights were off. So, this was a huge deal.

He was barely aware of Saxon still standing there until he spoke up. “That’s a very beautiful sub, you have, Master Julian.”

Keira stiffened then groaned as he started massaging the pale cheeks of her ass. “Isn’t she? So beautiful. I wish she could see it.”

“I’m sure you’ll help her to,” Saxon said with confidence.

He hadn’t managed it yet. But maybe. There was a time he never would have dreamed she’d let him tie her up and bare her ass. He gave her right cheek a hard smack, then rubbed the spot gently. She moaned. He did the same to the left cheek. Then back again.

“This is the spanking you would have gotten, kitten,” he told her in a low drawl. “Only you were naughty, weren’t you?”

“Yes, Sir.” She whimpered as he delivered another smack. Then rubbed the mark.

He slid her G-string down over her ass. He felt her stiffen and gasp.

“Julian? Sir?”

“Easy, kitten. You’re beautiful. All of you. There’s nothing for you to be ashamed of.”

He knew she’d been brought up to feel ashamed of her body, and her needs. Of anything sexual. Years of conditioning were difficult to unravel. But he was there to help her. He rubbed her bottom soothingly.

He glanced over at Saxon. “Don’t you agree, Master Saxon, that my sub has a pretty pussy?”

“Simply gorgeous. Plump and delicious. You’re a lucky man, Master Julian.”

His words had the desired effect. Even though Keira had grown red with embarrassment, her body had relaxed. He reached under her and adjusted the Hitachi wand so it was just below her clit.
