It took a long moment to realize what had been asked of me.
My chilled fingers curled around the hard length of cane and like my own feeling of dread, it too weighed greatly on me. I could do naught more but stare at it and the tanned hands that left it in my care. My body ached, both the assault from Barton's punishment and now that which I had endured strapped to the table. Stripes of heated flesh reminded me that this mewling aristocrat had added to them, but what had enraged me more was her assumption that I was hers.
My gaze lifted and I knew I was glowering. Thinking logically, I knew that aside from my rather vague working contract in this home, there was nothing tying me here, especially not in the manner of which my work experience here over the last few days had transformed into.
Nothing except him. I didn't need a formal contract, a list of rules, or a safe word like Alice had grumbled about continuously this morning. There was nothing written, nothing spoken and agreed upon, and yet...I knew who he was to me. Even if I wasn't sure I understood it yet. And she – even if she was his sister – was not my mistress.
Even thinking the word made fury spark through me.
Yet still, I could not bring myself to move. My eyes met hers, ball-gagged and arse-flashing pearly white beneath black leather, she looked pathetic even as she tainted the room with her venom, daring me to strike and then suffer the consequences once she was free. It was not fear of retribution that stayed my hand though. Nay...It was a thought; an epiphany of pure viciousness that I should even have been ashamed to admit was conjured by my mind. And yet I smiled all the same.
I recalled Wren's conversation with the Earl, word for word as I tentatively took a step closer, a small blush stole over my bare flesh as my heels clicked on the smooth floor and the movement drew the guest's eyes to me. I tried to recall his words to me, and satisfied that when he had handed me the cane he had not specifically asked me to use it, I leant it against the table and faced her from the other side of the cross.
She was quite simply furious. Her face sported a rather fetching panda-look; beads of perspiration dotted her forehead and caused her hair to sick to her skin unattractively. I sank to my knees, but not in supplication, for she was the one who was bound and in no way deserving.
"Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has injured the other, so he is to be injured. Or in this case, she is to be injured."
With Bailey, it was not her body I would attack. It was her indifference, her contempt I sought to crumple, it was her pride I would injure, and as I let my hands drift beneath the cool beam of wood to pull her hips forward, she soon found I was more determined than her to accomplish my goal and bring her to heel. My nails left half moons on her skin as I dug in and brought her to my mouth. I toyed, languorously teased and retreated as she fought her bonds. The ball gag muffled what I knew were commands, demands, and when I released her mouth from its confinement, I joyously ignored them still. I played with her on my time, listening to the sound of her breathing grow laboured, felt the quickening of her body as I filled her first with one finger and then two and circled her clit with my tongue. I did what the headmistress had done to me, and though that lady had sought to give me pleasure and an ending, I merely tormented. I learnt swiftly what brought her closer and closer, and soon she stopped her struggles, she stopped her commands and began her entreaties, her body pliant as I put my newly learnt skills to use. Wren's words rang in my head and as I left Bailey hanging from that edge once more with my fingers, her vicious tongue now begging mine to continue.
"Make me come..." She almost whispered.
I let my gaze drift to the Earl over her hip.
How better to destroy her pride, than to be denied.
"Make me come..." She almost whispered.
I let my gaze drift to the Earl over her hip.

LoneStarRiderover 12 years agoShort, but arguably the best chapter yet.
Vengeance is best delivered by the least anticipated method.
Seriously 5-star.

I'm pleased that you appreciate the character development we have enjoyed writing.
I understand what you are saying about different POVs. We don't combine different ones in individual chapters because we take turns to write them. Sometimes we don't know, other than in outline, what the other party is going to write. This is fun because we can both end up surprised by where the story goes.
I actually think the last chapter was short because sacrificedangel batted back to me to carry on the story. Maybe she identified with Kat so much that she couldn't write a scene where she was punishing rather than punished.
Our 'hero's' name is, I suppose, Bastion La Motte. La Motte is the family name in the same way the Queen is a 'Windsor'. (Changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and taken from Windsor Castle.) His name is Lord La Motte, Earl of Shorncliffe. (The name of his house being the same as the name of his 'seat') His cousin's are never going to be so formal as to call him 'Lord' and Bastion is not a stickler for this aspect of protocol. Being called 'Master' by Kat is much more important to him than being called 'Lord'.
I hope the snow clears up for you soon.

I hope you find the next few bits equally hot.

Be patient. Ch. 6 is 'pending' as you left your comment. LOL
'My bad' for doubling up the last 2 lines. Would you lke to comment how excellent the proof-reading has been in the other 10,000?
doubledownrobabout 13 years agoI've enjoyed this story so far, and i find it an interesting take on the genera. This chapter, in particular, serves as a change of pace that you don't often see, which makes it interesting. That said, i think the reason you don't often see it is that in this format, its less effective. In the chapter by chapter, online format, I think there is a fine balance between giving your readers enough, and leaving them wanting more. It would seem like your plan is to do a long format story over several chapters. I think, through the first four, you've struck a nice balance. You've moved the story along, developed characters, and delivered consistent, well thought out action. In each chapter, I feel like we have learned something about the motivations of the characters, or we have seen them develop. And you've done that without delivering too much in one chapter, leaving your readers (including myself) wanting more.
In this case, i think you were trying for that with Kat, but you missed the mark. In the 2nd - 5th paragraphs, you started to go somewhere interesting with Kat, concerning her motivations, and I think that could have been developed more fully. You hinted at it, and then jumped right back into action without fleshing it out. Though you did surprise me with the direction you took, I thought you were going to have kat deny the right to punish as a submissive and return the cane to Bastion.
(is Bastion his actual name, or his title? given that he has a last name, it seems like he is the Earl of Bastion, and i'm under the impression that as a member of the peerage, he would be addressed as Lord Bastion, even by friends and acquaintances)
But even with the direction you went (which is totally fine and interesting), you cut it off too quick. I know you might have plans to switch the action to the Earl's point of view at this point, but its ok to have multiple POV's in one chapter, as long as you clearly delineate who's viewpoint you are writing from at any given moment.
anyway, sorry for the lengthy comment, its my 4th snow day off from grad school in a row out here in the middle of America, and i'm going a bit stir crazy... I hope you continue to keep writing and continue to impress. You're doing a great job!
subjecttodesireabout 13 years agoHad been looking forward to another update. Wow to the first comment-ee, a little harsh regarding the error, even with the LOL. Been thoroughly enjoying this story, and quite a shock with the genre knowing who it comes from. Wonderful, kinky, and downright hot. Thank you for posting this!
sacrificedangelabout 13 years ago...because the story is posted in Parts according to who's perspective we are currently with, and this part was a little insight into what was going through Kat's head when given this particular order. We are back with Bastion in the next part, and it will be a very good length.
