Chapter Six – Training
My training started the next morning. I was very nervous, but excited at the same time. We woke up and had a wash and Alicia got dressed. She then sat me down in the sitting room to explain the rules to me.
"Okay, so as you have probably already guessed you are not permitted to wear clothes. That just makes it much easier when I have to punish you, or reward you." She said with a cheeky smile. "Your punishments will be a spanking of some sort. And as for your rewards, well you know what those will be." She smiled at me again. "And you are not allowed to bring yourself sexual pleasure at all. If you do, you will be punished." She said, smiling cruelly, and I shivered. She then clapped her hands together, "Shall we begin then?" She said smiling.
Over an hour later I had my first test. Alicia had put out a selection of herbs on the table, and I had to identify them. I wasn't very good at it, and she said that for every one I got wrong I'd get ten spanks. As there were twenty different herbs that could mean a total of two hundred spanks!
Luckily I got the first ten correct since they each had distinctive smells, but the last ten were a bit harder. To me they all smelled the same; the only difference was in their looks.
I picked up the first one had took a good look. I was pretty sure it was what Alicia called 'Margoite' but I couldn't be sure. She told me that these weren't the typical names for the herbs, but the witch names.
"This one is Margoite." I said certainly. It only got me a slap across my left cheek.
"No you stupid girl. Margoite has a very distinctive feel. This one is Jernays." She said, putting it aside. Remembering her advice I began to search for Margoite. I remembered her saying that it has a very prickly feel to it. I picked up the leaves of the remaining herbs and found what I was looking for.
"This one is Margoite?" I asked, and she nodded.
"Now go onto the next one." She snapped at me impatiently.
I finished the test getting five wrong. Fifty spanks, and devil, it was going to hurt. She went and sat on a wooden chair, pulling me along with her and throwing me roughly over her lap. She picked something up off the table and shoved it into my hands.
"Every time I spank you I want you to say, 'this is Jernays', understood?" She snapped at me, caressing my bare bottom. I nodded.
"I understand." I muttered, my voice shaking. She continued to caress my bottom until I began to relax. Then...
SMACK! I screamed out in pain. That wasn't her hand!
"T-this i-is J-jernays." I stuttered.
SMACK! I screamed again, but repeating my saying. After the ten spanks she took the Jernays off me, and handed me another one. I had to do the same as she spanked me. Repeating the name of every herb she gave me.
After a while the heat from the spanks turned to the heat of sexual pleasure. At first I was horrified by myself, getting aroused by my punishment! But after a while I didn't care, it hurt so good and I wasn't going to complain.
After my punishment was over Alicia helped me stand and laid out the herbs I had gotten wrong on the table in front of me, and asked me to name them. I named them all correctly without a problem.
After she put the herbs away she led me into the bedroom and asked me to lie face down on the bed. I did so, wondering what she was going to do. I heard her rummage around in some cupboards and then I felt her sit next to me.
"Alison, I have some cream here that I have made myself. It should reduce bruising and make it not as sore as it would have been without it." She said, and I felt something cold on my bottom. I flinched and tried to pull away, but Alicia held me firmly in place.
