“Get up, chop-chop,” Mistress Kat barks her orders from the stage.
I notice how gross the floor around me is; it hasn’t been washed properly in ages, with a wad of spiderweb stuck to the leg of Nick’s chair, mud splashes from the outdoor shoes everywhere. And I’m sitting on that disgusting floor on my bare ass!
I jump on my feet, forgetting what I’m here for, or both men watching me from their seats. But what Mistress Kat reminds me at once of the order of the day: she fidgets with the restraints at the top and the bottom of the spanking bench, preparing them for me. The towels that covered the contents of the medical carts are gone too, but I can’t see it yet.
“Let’s go through the rules of today’s session.” Mistress Kat seems to enjoy emceeing this most unusual play.
While she speaks, the stagehand takes both carts down the small ramp and brings them in front of Nick and Aldous. Each gets one cart, chockful of every implement imaginable, all laid out in rows like the surgical instruments. I try to follow up the ramp to get on the stage, but he lifts me over one shoulder like a wayward rag doll and slaps my bottom with gusto while carrying me to the stage. He stands at the edge of the scene, facing the audience, with me still hanging over his shoulder, while Mistress Kat recites the rules.
“Each of you, sirs, will choose one implement from the cart. We will flip a coin to determine who starts. Then the other sir will choose whether the girl will face you, or her bottom will. The proverbial head and tail.”
What a perverted version of how the tennis matches start! When the umpire flips the coin, and the winning player chooses whether to serve or receive, and the other player chooses on which side he will play. Except in this case, there is only one person who can be on the receiving end: me. The stagehand lowers me in front of the spanking bench, secured in the middle of the moving part. Red-faced from hanging upside down and from the embarrassment, I notice another metal cart with gags, blindfolds, ropes, and cuffs. Thankfully, no hoods or sleeves that are my hard limits. Clearly, someone went through the list of dos and don’ts.
“I personally guarantee, that by the end of the night,” Mistress Kat wraps up her speech. “She will be a very good girl, for a lucky winner to take home.”
“No!! I need to decide, you can’t do that!” I scream and attempt to escape, but with my ankles secured in the restraints, I fall face down on the bench. The stagehand saddles me, and I thrash for my life like a fresh-caught fish. “It’s not game, it’s my life!”
Mistress Kat gags me with a red ball and waits for the stagehand to secure my wrists and tie my torso to the bench with another leather restraint. “Every time you speak out of order, you get three strokes of the Scottish tawse. Are you familiar with tawse?”
I nod, unable to speak. She removes the gag, and I babble as quick as I can.
“I will be a very good girl but let me decide. Please!”
Not bothered by my screaming for a bit, she doles out three thunderous strikes, sending me into perpetual agony but still screaming the words.
“I need to decide!”
Another three break me down fast. I choke, unable to breathe, without a coherent thought in my brain. Muted.
“Good girl,” she says.
