this afternoon, you broke a number of our rules. First, you violated your oath of secrecy by peeking out at your route here. Then, when Kyle ordered you to lie motionless across his lap for a disciplinary spanking, you squirmed and kicked him, disobeying a direct command. Finally, you broke the rule of silence during the journey. Then you made it worse by arguing and protesting the very fair and just consequences that you agreed to accept when you signed your contract for admission.”
Lady Gwen continued, “Mistress Jade is going to administer your punishment for such flagrant disregard of our most basic rules—rules you promised to obey. She will continue until she feels that you have been sufficiently chastised for your poor behavior. Nothing you say or do will stop her once she has begun. Now, bend over the leather bench and spread your legs wide. “
Melody awkwardly bent forward and draped her body across the length of the padded leather bench, planting her high heels between its stout legs. Her short red dress slid up, exposing the curve of her naked ass.
“Spread your legs further, Melody. Put your feet on the outside of the bench. Your companion Tammy is going to tie you down this time to make sure you can’t wiggle your way out of this punishment.” As Gwen spoke, the young woman bent to fasten leather straps attached to the legs of the bench around Melody’s ankles, assuring that her feet stayed wide apart. Mistress Jade waved a hand, and Tammy reached down to pull Melody’s skirt up to her waist, exposing her bare bottom to the room, covered only by the trailing sash tied at her waist.
“Now, take both of your hands and grasp the front legs of the bench.”
Melody reached down, causing her naked ass to poke high into the air. Tammy pulled one end of the sash, untying the bow. She wound it firmly around Melody’s left wrist and then tied it around the base of the front leg of the bench. After securing the other wrist, Tammy moved silently away, allowing Lady Gwen to come forward and gently stroke the quivering globes of Melody’s ass, now totally exposed in the harsh glare of the spotlights.
Tammy returned, carrying a stout wooden paddle. She knelt before Mistress Jade, head bowed, offering the paddle in her outstretched hands. Jade took the paddle and stepped to the bench.
“Your punishment will be divided into two parts,” she announced, her voice low and deep. “First, you will accept ten strokes of this paddle. You will count them and thank me politely after each one. If you fail to follow my instructions, I will be forced to begin again. Do you understand and agree?”
“Yes, Mistress Jade,” came the hesitant whisper.
The sudden crack of the paddle echoed like a thunderclap in the silence of the room.
Claire heard a harsh gasp, then “One. Thank you, Mistress Jade.”
Another powerful crack, then a longer pause before the count and the polite words uttered through clenched teeth. Then another.
The paddle was long enough to cover Melody’s entire backside with each stroke, and Claire could see her cheeks reddening. Melody’s head jerked up at the next strong whack, and she let out a cry.
“You must learn to follow my instructions, Melody,” the low voice urged. “Now you’ve given me no choice but to start all over.”
Melody let out another wail, but the sound was drowned out by the stinging whack of the paddle. “One,” she cried out, fighting back tears. “Th… thank you, Mistress Jade.”
Claire was riveted by the scene, imagining how it would feel to be in such a humiliating position, forced to undergo an intense public spanking, her ass bared for everyone to see. She watched, her drink untouched, as Melody squirmed, straining against the restraints with each relentless stroke of the paddle. Her voice ragged, Melody finally counted the tenth stroke, muttering her thanks to Jade as her body sagged against the bench.
“Now, you will receive your punishment for
