2 – Alexa's First Scene
(In Chapter One, Alexa has allowed herself to be tied to a bed by Chantelle, an older Frenchwoman, who has left to prepare for a bdsm scene. Whilst waiting for her tormentor to return, the younger blonde ponders both her own circumstances and the relationship of Chantelle to Jeanette, a young woman who lives with her)
After a time, her skin warmed by the afternoon sun, the birds singing outside the window, the young blonde became less concerned as to why she had agreed to Chantelle's suggestion. Her incapacity allowed her to reflect upon both the unreasonable demands expected by her workplace and the foolishness of her concern that it was somehow she who was responsible for the failure of her relationship with Brad. A weight lifted from her soul; perhaps, at that moment, she began to understand the liberation which can result from willing submission.
The door opened. Listening to Chantelle's footsteps, Alexa's heart raced, for, although excited, she remained uncertain as to how she would react to the experiences they had discussed earlier. As agreed, the Frenchwoman said had said nothing upon entering. The sound of her slight movements filled the room.
Suddenly, the blindfolded woman felt the flattened end of a leather crop against her right breast. It teased her already pert nipple, then, slowly, crossed her belly and caressed the tautened muscles of her right thigh before brushing against the thin shield of cotton covering her moist sex.
Her mistress said one word.
'Thirty.'
The ferocity of the first lash caused the submissive's limbs to strain violently against the ropes. Just as the sting dissolved into a raw throb, Chantelle administered the second blow, lower on the torso than its predecessor. Alexa, breathless from the viciousness of these first strikes, realized her helplessness; to continue, she would be required to suffer twenty-eight further blows. For a moment, she was tempted to clench her left fist and punch the mattress three times – the sign they had agreed should be indicated should the scene become unpleasant. But, as the assault continued, the humiliation itself – there was no doubt that her skin would be marked for days, and that, unless she acted extremely cautiously whilst changing at the gym, this would be noticed by others - began to elicit within the young blonde a sensual response. Panting, fearful but expectant, she soon lost count of the strokes falling on her outstretched body.
Finally, the punishment ceased. The Frenchwoman leaned over her.
'You are marked. You are mine.' she whispered.
