I must apologize for getting this out a day later than usual. I had a busy weekend and didn't submit it Sunday like I usually do. Hope you'll forgive me!

Sunday
Sunday arrived with a thunderstorm. Shelby stuck her head through the bedroom curtains and watched the leaves on the trees down below getting whipped every which way by the wind. Rain fell sideways and ticked loudly against the windows. Water ran like tears down the glass.
"I have an errand to run," Nancy said.
"Oh?" Shelby asked.
Nancy nodded, running a brush through her hair. "Just hang tight. I should be back around lunchtime or so.
Shelby was bored. She didn't have anything to do. She thought about going down to the pool but decided against it. Instead she took her time exploring the apartment and looking in all the cabinets and drawers. She was just being nosy, looking for something to occupy her time.
Nothing caught her eye, though. So she booted up her computer and did some innocent internet surfing. Her favorite author had a new book out. Maybe Nancy would order it for her. What harm could come from a book?
When lunchtime rolled around Nancy came through the door. She had brought some fast food with her for them to eat. Nancy was wearing her raincoat and her hair looked windblown. She put her umbrella down on the floor by the door.
"God, I'm going to get fat eating all of this food," Shelby said.
Nancy chuckled. "Don't forget the workout room down in the office," she said. "I usually work out but haven't lately. I've been too busy with you," she added.
Shelby rolled her eyes.
As they ate, Shelby told Nancy about the book she wanted. Nancy grabbed her phone, went onto Amazon, and immediately ordered it for her. Shelby grinned. "Thanks."
Nancy nodded, but Shelby noticed she seemed a little preoccupied. Jumpy, maybe.
When they finished, Nancy threw their trash away and cleared her throat. "I have something to confess. I have a surprise for you," she said.
Shelby raised her eyebrows. "Oh?"
Nancy nodded. "Yes. Come with me." She took Shelby's hand and they left the apartment. They walked down the hallway and turned the corner, and came to the door that led to the BDSM dungeon.
Shelby pulled her hand from Nancy's. "No. I don't want anything to do with this," she said, backing away.
"What? No! I'm not going to do anything to you," Nancy said with a nervous chuckle. She grabbed Shelby's hand again. "It's just your surprise. It's inside."
Shelby looked wary, but she slowly opened the door anyway.
It was pitch dark.
Shelby looked back at Nancy quizzically.
"Turn on the light," Nancy urged.
Shelby did, and she froze at what she saw.
There was Lillianna, secured to the St Andrew's cross, completely naked. She was gagged and her face was red from her struggles. She started making angry noises when Shelby entered the room.
"Um...wow. I mean....really. Wow!!"
Shelby looked around and noticed Fabio and Rock standing like sentries in the corner of the room.
"What are they doing here?" She asked Nancy.
"Whatever you need them to do. If you want her moved, they'll do it for you."
"Oh," Shelby breathed. "I don't...I can't..."
But Nancy just grinned. "First we fired her. Now it's your turn with her. The security guard is ready to escort her out when you're done with her."
"She's...she's all mine?"
Nancy chuckled. "Yes, love. She's all yours. Though when you get tired I might want to take a turn. She and I have never gotten along well and there are a few things I might want to do to her. With your permission, of course."
Lillianna growled and pulled at her bonds but she went nowhere.
Shelby tentatively walked up to Lillianna. She ran her fingers down the woman's spine and stopped at the top of her ass crack. Lillianna trembled.
"Lillianna," she said. "You know," Shelby began, "I didn't ask to be brought to this place. I didn't ask for any of this. But until you, nobody had physically hurt me. Nobody had been that cruel. But you...what you did to me...was inexcusable. It was just plain mean, and I guess I'd like to know why," Shelby asked.
"Love," Nancy whispered into her ear. "I can take off the ball gag so she can answer, but you might not like what she says."
Shelby shrugged. "I have to know."
Nancy released the ball gag and Lillianna licked her lips. Her eyes darted back and forth from Nancy to Shelby.
"So, answer me, Lillianna," Shelby demanded. "And I want the truth. Why? Why did you want to hurt me?"
Lillianna just grinned at her. "Why? You want to know why I did what I did?" She smiled widely. "Oh, Shelby. You're such a stupid girl. Still so sweet and innocent. Well, you know what's fun?" She asked. "Taking innocence away from someone. Taking it forcefully. Stomping on it. That's what this place is all about for me. I never was stupid enough to hire an assistant that didn't want to be here, so mine were never as innocent as you. But you, with that Pollyanna way that you carry yourself. I needed to show you. To teach you a lesson. Innocence has no place here," she said, and she laughed derisively.
Shelby scowled. "Gag her. I don't want to hear her voice again."
She watched as Nancy reattached the ball gag. "She's all yours," Nancy said. Shelby watched as Nancy took a seat on a low, purple, plushly-covered bench to watch.
Shelby turned back and spoke to Lillianna. "Do you know what's even more fun than what you just said?" Shelby asked.
Lillianna didn't respond.
"Bringing a bully down," she said. "Bringing a nasty bully down to her knees," Shelby added. "And you know what? I plan to do just that to you."
She glanced back at Nancy. Nancy nodded once.
"I hope you can't even walk when I'm done with you," Shelby said quietly to Lillianna. "Because you don't deserve even common decency. I hope the company leaves you naked in the front yard with all the crap from your desk scattered around you."
Shelby paused for a few seconds.
"And let me say one more thing. If you ever touch me again - if you ever even breathe on me - I will kill you. God knows how I'd do it, but I will figure out a way."
Shelby walked over to the wall that held the instruments. She picked a medium weighted paddle with several holes in it. When she glanced at Nancy, Nancy was nodding. She approved of the choice. It was a good starting point, Shelby supposed.
Shelby took a couple practice swings and then touched the paddle to Lillianna's ass. The woman jerked, but she wasn't going anywhere. Shelby reared her arm back high and swung.
The paddle landed on Lilliana's rounded skin with a resounding 'crack'.
Lillianna howled her disapproval and narrowed her eyes at Shelby. "Muff phanf walf!"
Shelby looked at the woman for a few seconds. "Hum. Honestly, I can't understand you, Lillianna. And in fact, why don't you just shut up? Nobody here cares what you think." Shelby brushed an errant lock of hair off of Lillianna's forehead that had fallen out of her French twist. Lillianna jerked her head backwards at Shelby's touch. "Nobody here cares what you think at all. In this room, here, right now? Lillianna? You don't matter. You don't matter at all."
And Shelby let the paddle fly again.
'Crack!'
Lillianna yelled from behind the gag.
"You know what I've learned about bullies, Lillianna?" Shelby asked as she cracked the woman on her ass again, "is that they can dish it out just fine. But they can't take it. And I would know. I got teased a lot growing up. Whether it was because of my red hair or because my mom was on drugs or because I was poor - the kids always found my weak spots and they made fun of me. She smacked Lillianna again. "But all I had to do was learn a bully's weak spot. And once I started teasing them about their big nose or glasses or how dumb they were or whatever they hated about themselves, they'd always stop bullying me."
'Crack!!'
Lillianna howled again.
"It worked every time," Shelby said, pausing for a second. "And you know what you are? You're just a grown up bully. Behind those expensive clothes and your C-suite salary lies a sad, sad woman who hates herself. A woman who has to bring down others to make herself feel better. Well,"
'Crack!'
"I haven't had time to learn your specific weaknesses, but I think generalities will work just fine here. Because nobody likes to be tied down and whipped, do they?" Shelby said, in Lillianna's face again, "Nobody likes other people seeing them naked and being humiliated. Only sadistic people get off on that."
Lillianna groaned unhappily behind the gag.
"So, I hope that with every smack of this paddle,"
'Crack!'
"You'll think about what I've just said, and you'll change yourself and your behavior accordingly."
She swung particularly hard the next time and Nancy winced when the paddle landed on Lillianna's ass.
Lillianna just yelled louder, but the gag did a great job of muffling her noises.
"She's getting pink, Shelby," Nancy offered. "Warmed up. Why not move to a crop?"
Shelby turned to Nancy, but glanced at the wall. "Which one is a crop?"
"The long stick with a flat piece of leather at its end."
Shelby nodded. "Yeah. Okay."
Shelby traded spanking instruments and approached Lillianna. "Do you like the crop?" She asked. Shelby swung and spanked Lillianna over and over, the instrument making a satisfying "woosh"-ing sound as it cut through the air. Lillianna's ass was really looking red now.
Nancy motioned Shelby over to her. "You might try it on different parts of her body," Nancy whispered.
"Yeah?"
Nancy nodded. "Oh yeah. Crops work great on nipples. And pussies," she chuckled softly.
"Ooooh," Shelby said with a nod. She'd felt that firsthand.
So, first, Shelby snapped the crop on Lillianna's small breasts. She yipped like a little dog at that.
