If Things Were Different

Chapter 14

Into the dungeon they went. As they entered, they heard smacking noises and yelping. Irene was currently being flogged by Agnes. "MMMPH!" she squealed.

Agnes smiled, "Whine all you want. You'll be down here for a long time." The flogger smacked against Irene's rump.

"MMMPH!" Irene shouted.

Agnes stopped and looked to see Suki and Nataleigh enter. Nataleigh grinned. "I'm glad to see you've warmed Irene up for us. She'll make a fine maid for us when we're done with her."

"MMMPH!" Irene whined.

"Take her to the dining hall," Nataleigh commanded. She picked up a large wooden sign with a metal chain that read "Spank Me; I've been a bad girl." She handed it to Agnes. "And take a paddle with you. Then come back here."

"MMMPH!" Irene whined as Agnes placed the sign around her neck.

"Whine again and we'll blindfold you," Nataleigh threatened. For posture, she grabbed a black cloth from the wall and twirled it around her finger.

"MMMPH!" Irene moaned. Agnes picked up the black paddle from the wall and patted Irene's backside with it, "MMMPH!"

"Get used to it," Agnes sneered. "You'll be getting a lot of it soon." Irene continued to whimper as Agnes pulled the noble out of the dungeon.

Suki looked around the room. "I don't even know where to start," she blushed. She ran her fingers on each of the toys hanging from the walls - some of which she had no idea what their purpose was. As she looked around, her eyes caught sight of the currently restrained Carol.

"Carol?" Suki asked. She lifted up the hood. Nataleigh did not object, but let out a disappointed sigh.

"MMMPH!" Carol shouted as the dim light reached her face.

"Sorry, let me take that out," Suki replied. She removed Carol's gag.

"Ah, thank you," Carol replied. She stopped and looked at Nataleigh. "I don't think you want to get in trouble again, do you?"

"She won't stop me," Suki replied. She held the chain up with her hand. "She's doing what I say right now."

Carol's face went red and she looked at Suki flirtatiously. "So, you like tying people up?"

"D-don't look at me like that!" Suki exclaimed. "I'm doing this because Nataleigh wants me to. Nataleigh, please release my friend."

"Su, she's a -" Nataleigh protested, but then stopped. "I'm sorry, Su. I forget my place." She began to free Carol of her restraints.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of," Carol replied. She stretched herself. "Do you mind if I watch?"

Both Nataleigh and Suki blushed. "I'd rather do this by ourselves," Suki replied nervously. "I haven't done any of this before," she admitted quietly.

"I can show you how it's done," Carol volunteered. She smirked at Nataleigh. "I'll show her what a real knot looks like."

"Su, please don't let her," begged Nataleigh.

"Sorry, Carol. Maybe another time," Suki replied.

"It was worth a try," Carol sighed. Carol turned towards the dungeon exit. She smirked. "Where did that noble lady go? I owe her a few smacks."

"Wait!" Suki said. But Carol was gone already. "I wanted to talk to you," Suki said, completing her thought even though Carol was out of earshot.

In the meantime, Agnes returned from escorting Irene. "Yes, ma'am?" she asked. Her eyes continued to wander to the collar around Nataleigh's neck.

"On your knees," Nataleigh commanded. "Curl up."

Agnes lay down in a fetal position. "Am-am I in trouble, ma'am?" Nataliegh tied the maid in a ball tie, before finally finishing it off with a leather hood and a ring gag.

"Su tells me that you've been a bad girl, Agnes," Nataleigh replied. "And so, you'll be spending your nights down here with Irene for a month, and for the next week, you will be bound and gagged while you perform your duties. You do not lie to me and get away with it."

"MMMPH!" Agnes whined.

Nataleigh left the whimpering Agnes alone and began to spin another crank in the wall. This one was attached to a chain that lowered a human-sized bird cage. "And tonight, you'll be in here," Nataleigh growled. She dragged Agnes into the cage and locked the door.

"MMMPH!" Agnes squealed.

"Don't worry, Agnes," Nataleigh smiled. "I haven't forgotten about your flogging."

"MMMPH!" Agnes protested as Nataleigh began to pull the cage upwards.

"You'll be getting one every morning as long as you stay down here," Nataleigh teased.

"MMMPH!" the Agnes-ball screamed.

Nataleigh turned back to Suki and lowered herself to her knees. "Punish me, Su. I've been a bad girl," she said softly.

"O-okay," Suki replied. "Where do I start?" She turned to Nataleigh for help.

"Normally I start with a flogging," Nataleigh suggested. "But, as the Mistress, you may ultimately decide what I receive as punishment. You get to decide how long I am down here, what if any gag or blindfold I wear, and how I am tied."

"I'm not any good with ropes," Suki admitted, "so I'll have to do chains this time."

Nataleigh helped Suki find the chains. "How would you like my hands? Above my head? Behind my back? In front of me?" she asked, demonstrating each pose as she went. "Or would you like to have an X-formation?"

"I-I don't know," Suki said. "W-which position do you prefer?"

Nataleigh spread her body out in an X-form. "When you punish someone using the X-formation, it makes them more easily tormentable," Nataleigh replied. "If a girl has been really bad, like myself, I put them in one of these."

Suki began to chain the domineering maid to the wall with Nataleigh's guidance but stopped and blushed. "Take your dress off," Suki shyly commanded.

"Maybe I'm not the naughty one," Nataleigh replied flirtatiously. She took off her maid dress, revealing a black set of lingerie and a thick chest. She kicked her shoes and her stockings off.

Suki blushed as Nataleigh started to take off the bra, but she shook her head. "No more," Suki said. She rubbed her hands across Nataleigh's stomach and upper body. "I don't think I could control myself if you went any further." She stopped. "I-I'm sorry. Was that too weird?"

"No," purred Nataleigh, "it was perfect."

"I'm not very good at rope, so I'll have to do chains," Suki replied. She took Nataleigh's arms and legs and chained them in the X-formation.

"Now that you've got me chained up, what will you do to me?" Nataleigh asked flirtatiously. "I'm in my underwear and you can do whatever you like."

"I don't think I'm going to gag you," Suki said. "Your lips are too cute for that." Suki blushed all the more.

"Feeling nice?" Nataleigh teased.

"I'm not in the mood for a flogging either," Suki admitted. "I'd rather not cover your pretty eyes with a blindfold."
