Chapter Three

"
Shall we have a drink in
my
room
? It's just a little fa
rther than yours,
"
he asked.
"
We can talk about that.
"

"
All right,
"
she ans
wered, unsure what she should be thinking.

They walked past her room to another building farther from the main house.
"
Its' only me in this building,
"
he said, reaching into his pocket for the key.
He unlocked and opened the door, inviting her in as he switched on a light.

"
This is lovely,
"
she said, looking around the small apartment. She walked straight to the French doors leading to the back patio.
Taking a bottle of wine and two glasses, he opened the
doors
and they stepped outside.

"
Wow,
"
she said, turning to take in the panoramic view. She could see the side of the building she was housed in but there weren't any windows
facing in this direction
.

"
Join me,
"
he said, holding out a glass and offering her a seat next to him.

She did, sipping the wine.

He got right into it
.
"
I've stopped wondering if I could have saved my wife," he began.
"B
ut I know for a fact that
guilt left unpunished is like an open wound. It will fester and infect everything else
around it
. No living being can thrive much less survive under those conditions
.
"

She drank a big swallow of her wine.

"
I'll
punish you, if you allow me to.
"

"
I don't understand. Punish me
how
?
"
she asked.

"
I'
ll give you physical pain, a spanking
to start
for
example, to
help
alleviate your guilt.
You'll t
ake pain, as you believe you've caused pain.
"

"
I don't think a spanking is what I need,
"
she chuckled, unsure how to react
to this strange conversation
.

"
I can use my belt if you prefer.
"

She swallowed hard, but his face told her he wasn't joking.

"
You're serious,
"
she said.

He blinked, allowing her time to process.

"
I've never been spanked,
"
she said, surprising herself.

"
You'
d have a safe word, two actually
.
"

"
What?
"

"
A safe word, one to tell me if it's getting to be too much and a second to say stop,
"
he said, finishing the last of his wine.
"
You
'd be safe all along, knowing you'd have the ability to stop the scene at all times
.
"

"
Did you spank your wife?
"
She
was
sorry as soon as
the words left her mouth
.

He exhaled and took a moment to answer. "T
his is abou
t you and me, not my wife."

Was this really happening? She wondered a
s she drank the last sip of her wine.
He was so confident,
so at ease. She didn't doubt that if she said yes, she'd experience something like
she never had
before. She considered him, knowing
he was aroused, his pupils
already
dilated
,
and there was no missing the erection between his legs.
Her panties suddenly felt moist at the image of being taken over his knee and spanked
.

He was a stranger, almost. They'd
been intimate
, yes, he'd given her two amazing orgasms. He'd
talked to her about things her best friend
s couldn't or wouldn't bring up.
In the few hours she'd known him, she'd already seen a side of herself that was unsettling to say the least.

But even given that, if she were honest, there was nothing she wanted more at t
his very moment than to say yes to his proposition
.

"
Yes,
"
she answered.

He smiled
and
took
her hand
in his
before bri
nging his
mouth
to hers
. Although it was only a brief meeting of their lips, it was one of the most erotic kisses she'd ever shared with a man.

"Let's choose your safe words. How about yellow for close to too much and red to stop?"

She nodded, "OK."

He reached out and
pulled the clip out of her hair, letting it
fall down her back as he studied her.
"Are you ready
, Gabrielle
?"

"I…
Yes.
"

"Stand up."

She did.

"Take off your clothes."

"Should we go inside?" she asked, looking around.

He shook his head and
poured
another glass of wine for himself.

Her pussy throbbed. Reaching back, she unzipped her dress and let it fall to the floor. Her nipples hardened either from excitement or the cool night air
as she reached f
or her panties and slid them down.

"You're beautiful
," he said, his eyes never leaving hers. "Take your clothes inside, fold them neatly and
put
them and your shoes by the door. Then choose a corner, doesn't
matter which
one
, and stand with your nose touching the wall and your hands clasping opposite elbows behind
your back. Your legs should be spread to shoulder
width. I'll join you shortly
. Any questions?
"
he asked, adding,
"
You won't be allowed to speak
unless you're spoken to or
need to use one of your safe words once we begin.
"

"Just one question I think
. How many strokes?
"

"
We'll just see how you react. I promise I will only give what yo
u can take, not more, not less."

She nodded, her eyes wide.

"
All right, go
get ready
.
"

She picked up her things and walked
inside.
Her heartbeat was remarkably
calm
as she followed his instructions, setting everything on the floor by the door. She chose the corner farthest from th
e patio and, clasping opposite elbows
behind her back, brought her nose to the wall as he'd instructed.
She then
spread her legs, h
er pussy lips opening hungrily as moisture coated them
and
waited.

***

Julian
sipped his wine, looking calm by all outward appearances even though he w
anted nothing more than to walk inside
,
pull her over his knee
and spank her pretty little bottom. But he wanted her to have this time to think, to begin the process
of relinquishing her power to him
. He imagined she was aroused but at the same time, she would be feeling other things as well
.
He
was
curious how she'd react
. 

He waited a good fifteen minutes before
following her in
, leaving the doors wide open. She stood as he'd told her to and he could her hear sniffling
.

"
Gabrielle
,
"
he said.

"
Yes
?
"
she asked.

"
Was your nose touching the wall at all times?
"

"
No
,
"
she didn't hesitate to answer and didn't lie. That was good, she trusted him.

"
Why not?
"

"
I got tired
,
"
she said.

"
Come here,
"
he said.

She obeyed,
looking up into his face as he stood just inches from her.

"
Why are you crying?
"
he asked as he unbuttoned and rolled his shirt sleeves up, exposing powerful, tanned forearms with a dusting of dark hair.

"
I don't know
.
"
Her answer called forth more tears.

He took her chin in his hands when she dropped her gaze.
"
Look at me,
"
he said, easing her face up a
nd meeting her eyes.
"
Just breathe and let yourself feel everything.
Let me
take care of you
.
"

She nodded, still crying.

He sat on the edge of the bed so she stood facing him.
Reaching out, he ran his fingers through the dark triangle of hair at her pussy. That would have to go, but only if she decided to see him again after tonight. He pulled at it b
efore his hand traveled beneath to find her moist sex.
"
Spread your legs,
"
he said.

She did.

He glanced at her face as
he caressed her, slipping a finger inside
and pull
ing
slowly out.
"
You're very wet,
"
he said. He spent a few moments playing with her, teasing her, rubbing and pinching her clit while slipping a second finger into her pussy. When he retrieved his hand, he brought his fingers to his
lips and, eyes glued on hers,
licked them clean. He then brought that same hand to hers, caressing it softly, tickling her wrist for a moment.
"
Ready?
"

"Yes
.
"

He pulled her over his knee, settling her torso on the bed as he draped one
of his
leg
s
over the backs of hers. With his left hand, he rubbed her back,
comforting her but also making sure she couldn't get up.
"
Put your hands
over your head or under your chest, but do not move to cover yourself. If you can't do this, I can bind you. What do you prefer?
"

"
I'll try,
"
she said. He didn't want to tie her, not this first time.

He then turned his attention to her b
ottom
.
He didn't speak as he cupped
the
cheeks, tickling the crease of her thigh
. Her buttocks were soft, round mounds, whiter than the rest of her.
The skin was smooth and reddened quickly when he pinched it lightly.

She gasped as he did this and he circled his palm over both cheeks before beginning.

***

The first slap came swiftly and surprised her after his gentle caresses.
She caught her breath and i
mmediately
moved to straighten
. H
is hand between her shoulder bla
des, however,
held her firmly in place. He followed with a second stroke to her other cheek and she imagined her buttocks flattening under his palm before rounding again, waiting for the next spank.

He continued as she pulled her hands under her chest, unsure she'd be able to
keep from covering herself.

"
It hurts!
"
she called out as the blows came harder and at a faster pace. She squeezed her eyes shut as he spanked one cheek then the next several times before pausing to rub
them
which only seemed to intensify the sting of his palm
when he struck again
. She counted to herself as tears sprung from her eyes
. She hadn't imagined a spanking could be so painful and yet, at the same time, so exciting.
