I soak in the hot bath, the aching of the punishment is starting to kick in. Sir told me that he put epsom salts in the bath as well, so hopefully that will help in the long run.
I lean further back into the giant tub, the water and bubbles reaching just below my mouth. I close my eyes to try to relax but every time I try all I can think of is the punishment. And every time I continue to get turned on again. I groan out slightly, opening my eyes.
Never in my life have I been more confused. I've been punished before, both lighter and harder than what I've endured here, but I've never once got turned on by it. I rake through my brain trying to find out what is so different between the situations.
The tools are more or less the same, they're not doing anything traditionally pleasuring alongside the pain. They're not too kind, I've had people crying into my shoulder for accidently bumping into me. The only true difference is themselves. Now that I'm really thinking about it, no one's ever drawn me a bath or put healing lotion on after punishments. But even outside of punishments or anything like that, it feels as if they care about me?
I blurt out a harsh laugh before deciding to not waste time on a thought that ridiculous. I sit back up in the tub, wiping any bubbles off from my face. I reach over for the cloth on the side of the bath and start to wash myself properly.
I drain the bath and get dried off, making my way back into the bedroom. After hanging up my towel, I change into a t-shirt and sweats and make my way downstairs, my stomach rumbling. When I get into the kitchen Master and Sir already have the table set, pancakes, fruit, and eggs already waiting at the table.
The two of them are facing each other, Sir leaning against the island, his back to me, and Master leaning on the counter in front of him. They seem to be quietly discussing something but I don't bother listening. I walk over to the table, the talking eventually stopping when they notice that I've sat down.
"Sorry," I say as they look over at me.
"No, no, nothing to apologize for," Sir says, reassuringly.
"Go ahead and start eating, don't worry about waiting for us," Master tells me before getting another cup of coffee.
I start getting my plate ready as Sir takes his seat, doing the same. Master joins last, waiting for both Sir and I to start eating before getting his own plate ready.
When we've finished eating, and loaded the dishwasher, Sir and Master sit me down on the island.
"We have a proposition," Sir starts, crossing his arms.
"Tonight, you have a chance to nullify all the tallied punishments," Master explains. Immediately I want to take the offer but then I realize; What's the catch?
"However, its not necessarily usual," Sir says, refusing to elaborate.
I start weighing the options. I could get rid of the numerous minor punishments that could take weeks of acting perfectly to get through, or just get it done and over with in a single night. I can't find the downside. What could go wrong?
"I'm down," I tell them.
"You sure?" Sir asks, slight mischief in his voice. I nod reassuringly.
"We'll start tonight at 8. You might want to take a couple naps, we'll be up all night," Master tells me, leaving the kitchen followed by Sir.
---
I get woken from my nap by Master. "Ready to get started?" He asks pushing my hair away from my eyes so I can look at him properly. I nod, still trying to wake up.
Master nods, getting up from the edge of the bed and leaving the room. I manage to sit up and wake myself up slowly. Something catches my eye on the foot of the bed. I reach down, grabbing the fabric and holding it up.
The fabric drops down to reveal a black dress. You've got to be kidding me. Blush starts to creep into my face as I get ready. Once I finish putting on the outfit I look back to myself in the mirror.
The dress is black and sleeveless, the skirt just covering my ass unless I bend forward slightly, and has the same puffiness as the maid dress. A White ribbon wraps around the waist making a giant bow right above my ass. I was also given thigh high socks with shoes and the stupid white cat ears again.
I take a deep breath and remind myself that its only a couple of hours then I won't have anything hanging over my head anymore. Besides, how bad will it really be? Especially considering the last punishment I received.
I make my way down stairs, trying not to be outwardly embarrassed. To be fair this dress is longer than the last, which I was grateful for.
I expected for Master and Sir to be waiting in the living room for me but they're standing at the door, shoes and coats on.
"What's going on?" I ask, presuming the punishment is delayed.
"Just waiting for you, lets get going kitten," Master says waving me over. Wait what?
I furrow my eyebrows, walking over to them.
"We never told you we'd be doing it here," Sir teases, holding out a coat for me to put on. My stomach drops slightly as I shoulder on the coat.
"And before we go," Master says holding up a blindfold. I take a shaky breath as he softly ties it around my eyes.
Master and Sir guide me to a car before taking off.
After what felt like forever, the car stops and Sir takes off my blindfold. We get out of the car to find ourselves in front of a night club with red neon lights. The reflection of the lights shine on the damp pavement, it must have recently rained here.
It finally hits me and my mind gets a bit lightheaded, realizing that people will see me in this embarrassing outfit.
"We told you you wouldn't like it," Sir whispers in my ear. I look at Master, pleading with my eyes to not let this happen. It was bad enough that these two had to see me, but fucking strangers?!
I'm lead into the building, completely bypassing the line forming outside and without a second thought from the bouncer. Inside it was thankfully empty, though not for much longer as I notice a clock on the wall that read 7:45pm.
