Chapter 47: Punishment Aftermaths

When Gretchen arrived that evening, she found Nina asleep on the couch in the living room. She had picked up Chinese food on her way home, and took the containers to the kitchen before coming back to deal with Nina.

She stood over her slave, looking closely at the mottled colour of her rear, and decided that she had seen worse bruising in her time, including on her own oft-beaten posterior. That gave her a sense of relief, knowing that Nina’s ass would be tender for a day or so, but that no permanent damage would result.

She gave Nina’s shoulder a gentle shake to wake her. When Nina had opened her eyes and finally managed to focus, she grinned at her and said, “I brought Chinese. Come and get something to eat.”

Nina rolled over and sat up, wincing a little as her weight settled on her rear. She stretched and stood, then smiled at Gretchen. “I didn’t expect to fall asleep, but I was just so comfortable.”

“Well, you’ve had a bit of a hard day, so don’t worry about it. You likely needed it.” She laid a hand gently on Nina’s rear. “How’s the ass?”

“It’s still pretty tender, but I think that ointment and the hot soak helped.”

“Well, from experience, I’ve seen much worse so I think you’ll be fine in another day or so. We’ll give it another coat of ointment tonight before bed and I think that you’ll probably be able to sit tomorrow.”

“Well, that’s good to know at least.” She helped Gretchen lay out dishes and cutlery, then serve up the food. Gretchen brought a cushion for her to sit on, grinning at her as she presented it, then the two women helped themselves to a full meal.

After they had eaten and cleaned up, Gretchen asked Nina, “Do you think you should call your Master, and let him know what happened to you? I know if it were me, I wouldn’t want to come home and be surprised by the colour of my slave’s rear.”

Nina blanched a little, then swallowed hard and answered. “Yes, Mistress, although I may be in trouble for more than just getting my ass beaten.” When Gretchen gave her a quizzical look, she added, “There’s another problem, though. And that one might get me into a lot of trouble.”

“What’s that? Have you been doing something—or someone—that I don’t know about?”

“No, Mistress. You know about everything. The problem is that Scott doesn’t know. I’m supposed to tell him about every sexual encounter I get into, but I haven’t told him about this new client, so he doesn’t know about the other Mistress...”

“ ... And about the fact that you got attacked by a whole bunch of slaves, then sent back into the lion’s den by me as a present, and finally got your ass royally whipped because you didn’t put on a display for your new Mistress.” She barked a short laugh and finished with, “Am I right?”

Nina hung her head and quietly said, “Yes, Mistress. That pretty much sums it up. I know Scott’s been really busy on this project, so he hasn’t been calling me as often, and that made me forget to update him when I should have. I am afraid about what kind of punishment I might face as a result. It’s been nearly a week since I gave him a report.”

“So, the times I use you for my personal pleasure don’t merit a confession to your Master? I may have to add to the colour of your ass.”

“No, no, Mistress. It’s not like that. It’s just that, since I belong completely to you whenever Scott is away, he fully expects you to use me like a slave and treat me like your property, so there’s basically nothing happening that is out of the ordinary. Of course, if you were to trade me off to another Mistress for a week, then that would count as being out of the ordinary and he’d expect me to report that. This business with the new Mistress is really out of the ordinary and I should have told him about it right away.”

Gretchen smirked at her, and grabbed a nipple, giving it a twist. “Maybe I should trade you for a bit. I’d get out from under your smartass attitude, and maybe you’d learn a little humility.”

“Yes, Mistress. As you wish, Mistress. I can only obey.”

Gretchen moved her hand to cover the breast she was toying with, and gave it a firm squeeze. “I think you’re being sarcastic again, but I’ll leave it for now. Call your husband and try to keep out of trouble.”

“Yes, Mistress.” As Nina was already naked, she didn’t have to do anything else to get ready, other than putting the phone on speaker and kneeling while she made the call.

Gretchen put a hand on Nina’s shoulder to calm her. “I doubt you’ll have to worry about everything. It wasn’t really your fault, and he does know that things will happen when you’re under the control of someone else.”

“I hope so, Mistress.”

She got herself arranged and then initiated the call. When Scott answered, she said, “Hello, Master. I have a lot to report, so I hope you have a few minutes.” She couldn’t help the quaver in her voice, attributing it to the fear she was feeling about what she was about to confess. Surprisingly, she felt her Mistress’ hand rubbing lightly over her back, and took strength from that little gesture.

“Based on the tremor in your voice, and the fact that you haven’t called me in almost a week, something tells me that you got yourself into trouble again. Is this like the situation you got into when you first hooked up with the Mistress that I now share you with? Or has something else happened?”

Nina took a deep breath and answered, “Yes, Master. It’s kind of like what happened with my Mistress, but this time it wasn’t by my choice. It’s kind of complicated, but I think I can explain it all.”

“Very well, I’m listening.”

She paused for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to order her narrative, then started talking. She first told Scott about how she had been assigned by her company to rescue the new client account, and what had happened to her on that first day. She followed that up with Gretchen’s idea to make her somewhat of a present to the new Mistress, and then finished with how she had been punished for not masturbating while she was in the new Mistress’ office. Tears were streaming down her face as she finished and her breath was catching in her throat as she worried about Scott’s reaction.

There was no sound from Scott when she had finished. The pause grew a bit lengthy, heightening Nina’s concern as to how much trouble she was in. Finally, she heard Scott clear his throat. “I assume you’re at your Mistress’ house?”

“Yes, Master, I am.”

“Give her my number and have her send me a photo of your rear. I want to see what the damage looks like.”

“Yes, Master.”

There was another lengthy pause before Scott continued. “I’ll be home in a couple of days, but likely just for the weekend. I know this wasn’t really your fault; you got caught in a bunch of circumstances that were mostly out of your control. Your company obviously didn’t know what kind of situation they were sending you into, and the fact that you are a slave was just kind of a fortuitous coincidence. However, it does say to me that I may need to increase my control over you, or set up some kind of indicator that things are not to happen to you without my explicit permission. I’ll have to think about that and come up with something.”

“Whatever you decide, Master. I will do whatever you want.” She hitched in another deep breath, then added, “I love you, Scott. I never want anything to come between us.” The last word was delivered with a wracking sob as she wrapped her arms tightly around her body. Gretchen moved behind her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder, trying to give her slave some strength to face whatever her Master might decide.

Scott’s first words were, “Regardless of anything else, never forget that you are my wife, and I love you deeply. I asked you to marry me because I loved you, and that love hasn’t changed. I may be sharing you when it comes to sex, but that’s a completely different issue and in some ways, I think it’s even made our bond stronger. We can deal with everything else when I get home.”

It took Nina a few moments to calm herself before she could talk again. Finally, she was able to blurt out a question. “Master, am I to be punished?”

Scott actually chuckled, surprising both Nina and Gretchen. “I’ll wait until I see the photo of your ass, but something tells me you’ve already been punished way worse than anything I would do to you.” He paused for a few seconds, then said, “Although, since your Mistress is there, maybe she should tease you without any relief for an hour or so. That pussy of yours is probably soaking wet, so all that lubricant shouldn’t go to waste. Maybe even a vibrator or a dildo in it, since one of those should just slide right in.”

Nina sighed in relief, knowing that Scott’s ‘punishment’ was only her Mistress’ normal way of treating her. She also knew that Gretchen would hold it over her, so she would actually be getting mistreated by both her Mistress and her Master. At least, it wouldn’t involve any more pain, either physical or emotional.

“Yes, Master. I’m sure she will enjoy dispensing the punishment. She already does that to me on a regular basis.” Her voice rose to a squeak as Gretchen reached around and pinched one of her nipples in retaliation for that last remark.

“Something tells me your Mistress just pointed out to you that you need to watch your mouth. It gets you into trouble, in addition to the pleasurable things you can do with it.”

Somewhat chagrined, Nina answered, “Yes, Master.”

“Alright. Send me that photo, and I’ll say good night. I’ve got work I need to do before I can hit the rack. I’ll see you in a couple of days.”

“Good night, my love and Master.” Nina hung up the phone, then breathed another sigh of relief. She felt Gretchen’s arms come around her and hug her and she turned her head into her Mistress’ shoulder.

Gretchen gave her a squeeze, then quietly said, “I told you that it likely wouldn’t be as bad as you thought, and I’d say your husband is quite understanding.”

Quietly, Nina said, “Yes, Mistress. He may still be kind of new to being my Master, but I know his heart is in the right place and he is always looking out for me. I really do love him a lot.”

“And remember that I said I would never come between the two of you, regardless of how much control I may have over you. I will walk away from all of this before I see the two of you in trouble with each other.” Nina leaned her head back enough to be able to kiss Gretchen and murmur her thanks.

“Now, having said that, there is still the issue of your punishment. As kind and generous as your Master may be, he has kind of given me an order, and I don’t want to disobey him.” Nina could hear the laughter in Gretchen’s voice but bit her tongue, not wanting to make the situation worse by some kind of sarcastic remark. She rocked back on her knees, waiting to see what her Mistress had in store.

Gretchen wandered away and then returned a few minutes later. She had something in her hands, although Nina couldn’t see what it was. “I think I have just the perfect thing to deliver your punishment. Spread your legs and kneel up.” Nina did as she was told, and felt Gretchen cup a hand under her. There was an object of some kind in her hand, and she could feel pressure at the entrance to her vagina as Gretchen started to push something into her.

The pressure increased, then whatever it was suddenly passed through the ring of her opening and slipped all the way into her channel. At first, she thought it might be another pair of Ben Wa balls, but there seemed to only be one object. Gretchen pulled her hand away, and then held up something else in her other hand, which turned out to be her cell phone. “Now we can kill two birds with one stone. I need to send Scott a picture of your red rear, and my phone will also control that little monster I just put in your pussy.”

Gretchen walked behind Nina, then crouched to photograph her ass. She took a couple of shots at different angles, then flipped through them. When she was satisfied with her choice, she said, “Give me Scott’s number and I can get the two of us off the hook.” Nina gave her the number and Gretchen sent the photo on the way. She then tapped a few items on her phone, and Nina suddenly felt a buzzing deep in her pussy. Her reaction told Gretchen that her ‘little monster’ was working.

She gave Nina an evil grin and said, “I think that little toy will nicely meet with your master’s idea of punishment. I imagine you’ll be pretty frustrated in short order.”

Nina could feel her arousal ramping up, and said, “If it keeps up like that, I don’t think I’ll be too frustrated. It reminds me of the vibrator the night I did the demonstration. That made me come really hard, and I think this will as well.”

“Don’t be too sure about that. That evil little device has a wicked ‘tease’ setting, and that’s what’s running. You’ll think it’s going to take you all the way, but just at the point of no return it’ll stop dead and leave you completely hanging. A few rounds of that and you’ll be offering to do me six ways from Sunday just to get some relief. You’ll sell your soul for a chance to come, and then the whole cycle will start all over again.”

She walked away and came back with a set of wrist cuffs. “Hands behind your back. You don’t get to bring yourself off, either. I have no intention of getting your Master mad at me.” She quickly cuffed Nina’s hands behind her, and left her kneeling as the first signs of arousal started to appear on her face. It didn’t take long for Nina’s breathing to get deeper and somewhat ragged. Gretchen could see the ripples of arousal moving across Nina’s belly as her body reacted to the vibrator inside her.

Nina was thoroughly enjoying what the device was doing to her, letting her mind and body go into the feelings, blocking out the world in search of what promised to be a massive orgasm. It reminded her of the feeling when the pager in her ass started its vibrations while she was still wearing the Ben Wa balls. This felt like it would be just as strong, if not even better.

Gretchen was grinning as she watched her slave climb toward an orgasm. She knew exactly what Nina was feeling, as she herself had been tied up and forced to endure the evil device, with no prospect of fulfillment. She could hear Nina’s breathing, and the deep moaning that was issuing from her throat. She knew that, at any moment, those moans would turn into wails of frustration as the little vibrator would suddenly stop, leaving her hanging on a precipice.

Sure enough, that moment arrived only a minute later. Nina could feel herself right at the edge of an orgasm: a single touch to her clit, her nipples being pinched, maybe as little as a breathy kiss, and she would come, screaming her way through the orgasm she so desperately wanted. And then—nothing. No vibrations, no strong pulses from deep within her most needy places. A complete lack of feeling. She could barely even feel the vibrator seated deep within her.

Her loud moan was one of frustration. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Gretchen watching her closely, but she bit her lip to avoid saying anything, knowing that only more punishment would result. She lowered herself back down on her haunches, doing her best to relax, hoping this torture was over. Gretchen was making no move toward her so her base instincts told her that this punishment definitely wasn’t over.

Sure enough, a few seconds later the device started vibrating harder and faster than it had done before, even at its peak. Her arousal soared, crashing toward an orgasm even before she thought she was prepared for it. She lifted herself up, miming a fucking motion in reaction to the strength of the pulses deep within her, feeling the orgasm starting to build so quickly, and then—nothing.

This time a wordless cry escaped her lips as the expected rush of sensation faded away. “I see you’re starting to really enjoy my ‘evil monster’. I’d say that’s twice you thought you’d get to come. I can guarantee you that it knows the signs all too well, and it won’t likely make the mistake of pushing you over the edge.”

Nina swallowed hard. She could feel the sweat beading on her face and other parts of her body. “Mistress, I don’t know how much more of this I can take.”
