Chapter 3

Natalie remained quietly kneeling, contemplating her actions. She thinks to herself – “why didn’t I just wait – hmmm?” “Why didn’t I just wait – then I could have had a relaxing dinner – now I will be punished and maybe not get any dinner at all” All of these thoughts are playing over and over again in her mind. She hears the kitchen door open and her breath catches in her throat. She knows it is time to pay the piper. Jared walks in and sees Natalie kneeling in front of the stove eyes lowered demurely looking like a perfect slave in appearance only. Not that he seeks perfection. He likes her spirit and is very careful to tame her but leave the spirit of the recalcitrant child untouched. He walks until he is directly in front of her. He looks down at her as she remains as she was trained to remain. She will not move until she is told she may move. The only outward sign of her uneasiness was barely noticeable, unless you knew where to look. Her hands are clasped together in front of her in a normal symbol of mercy or if one knows American Sign Language it is the sign for worship. She appears to be still but a very observant person would notice the grip of her fingers tighten ever so slightly and then release. Jared is very observant and knows where to look, seeing this he knows that she is nervous as he should be. “Now, baby girl,” Jared says the timber of his voice very deep, “I am going to speak and unless I ask you a question you will not open your mouth – is that understood?” “Yeess, Daddy,” Natalie stammers. “Now that we have that out of the way – I am very disappointed with you. I gave you a simple task. Complete the chores and then you could eat. I do not think or should I say I did not think that should have been rocket science. Do you think that I did not know you were hungry?” “No, Daddy, I know you knew that I was hungry,” Natalie quickly replies. “Well, ok,” Jared continues, “then it must be that you feel that I am no longer capable of taking care of your needs and you have to fend for yourself even in my own home. Well, that is neither here nor there. Why did you try to sneak and eat something knowing that I was planning to allow you to eat and that you doing other than what I instructed you to do was against my wishes?” “I-I-I j-just thought to take the e-edge off of my hunger. A taste to tide me over until I was allowed to eat dinner, Daddy” Natalie whispers. She hears a drawer open and hears silverware rattling. Jared lifts the top off the pot of spaghetti and meat sauce and places some of the sauce on a spoon. He stoops down and orders Natalie to open her mouth and tells her that she may blow on the mixture to cool it to an acceptable temperature. She blows it some and then opens her mouth as he feeds her the spoonful of spaghetti sauce. Jared stands up and puts the spoon in the sink. “There that should have taken the edge of your hunger. Now this is what is going to happen, you will go into the living room I need to give you something. You will remove the dress and leave it in here before we go into the living room. Once you enter the living room you will go and make your apology to Adam and ask his forgiveness. Then you will finish the task that you have been assigned. Once the room is set and the food is in the room you will return to the living room and will receive additional instructions at that time.” Natalie cannot believe her good fortune. Although she is very sorry to have disappointed her Daddy she cannot believe she is going to get off with a verbal reprimand and that is it. And she got to taste that marvelous spaghetti and meat sauce. Jared knows that his Natalie’s face makes it very easy to read her thoughts. She thinks that she got off easy and he is not going to disabuse her of that notion. She will see the truth as the night progresses because he plans to teach his baby a lesson she will not soon forget. Jared snaps his fingers and Natalie quickly rises. She quickly steps out of her dress and then stoops to pick it up. She folds it neatly and places it on the counter. She then stands at attention until she is dismissed. At 5’1’’, 150 lbs, her height and her weight are deceptive to most people. She looks like she weighs less than what she does. Her weight is a problem for her and she is working on it. Jared likes his women a little thick so the weight is not a problem for him. Since it is a problem for her he is helping her work on it as he does agree she can be a bit more toned up. Since she has come into his service, he has helped her to relax some of her natural reticence about her sexuality and she is more comfortable in her own skin naked or clothed. She exudes a confidence and sensuality that Jared likes and is molding and developing even more. She stands at attention proudly, hands behind her back left hand clasping right hand, shoulders straight, heads straight but eyes lowered. Her dark brown body displayed to its fullest. Her 36B breasts, a nice handful, with the large dark aureole. Her legs are spread a shoulder’s length apart and her knees relaxed. She has the type of legs some women would kill for – thick thighs and legs that she never has to shave. She always looks as if she has on stockings when she usually does not wear them and definitely does not need them. Her pubic area is completely shaved as that is Jared’s preference. Jared knows that if he looks into her brown eyes at the moment he would see arousal, and a bit of smugness since she thinks that she escaped the ultimate punishment. She will know differently soon. He snaps his fingers again and turns to walk out of the kitchen with Natalie following behind him.

Adam sits on the sofa with Vicky at his feet kneeling. He can both sense and see the tenseness in her and feel her fear. The girl needs to relax he thinks to himself. He takes his hand reaches out to touch Vicky’s hair and she jumps startled. “Hush, little one – all is alright”, he tells her. He begins running his fingers through her hair lightly massaging her scalp. The ebony tresses glide through his fingers. The more he massages her scalp the more he feels Vicky relaxing. “How old are you?” he asks. “25, Sir,” she responds. He begins to just discuss various topics with her. Her favorite type of music, which currently is Hip Hop. Her favorite food – lasagna. Her favorite season – summer in Washington , DC . Before Vicky knows it she is relaxing where she did not imagine she could. She thinks to herself why couldn’t this man be my trainer? He is down to earth and easy to talk to and I do not fear him. Sir Jared is very scary.

Just then Jared enters the room followed by Natalie. Natalie immediately walks over to where Adam is sitting. She falls gracefully to her knees so she is directly in front of where he is sitting. “Sir Adam, please accept my deepest and humble apology for my behavior this evening. I ask your forgiveness this night. And it will not happen again.” Natalie remains on her knees eyes lowered waiting to either be released from her position or forgiven. Jared has walked over to the toy cabinet while this dialogue is going on and now walks back over to where Natalie is kneeling. He has the cane in one hand and a cock gag in the other hand. He snaps his fingers 3 times and startled Natalie moves to her present position for punishment. She knows she has a confused look on her face because she thought the chastisement was the punishment and now she is worried because that means this punishment could have stages. So now she is a bit concerned.

“28 strokes of the cane, baby girl and if you forget the count you know the penalty.” “Yes, Daddy,” Natalie whispers. Jared sets the first stroke on the same welt one the left cheek that he made earlier in the evening. “One, Daddy”, Natalie says on a bit of a yelp. The next stroke strikes the same identical welt on the right cheek. “Two, Daddy,” Natalie yelps trying to breath through the strokes to manage the pain. She wishes Daddy would slow his roll a bit but he is not being merciful with this punishment as he should not have been. He then places the next 8 strokes exactly over the existing welts. Natalie sobs out “Ten, Daddy”. He then places the next welt on the curve of her left buttock at the apex where it curves under to almost hit the back of her thighs. The next stroke is in the same spot on the right buttock. Natalie is up to a tearful twelve wondering how she is going to handle 16 more and not move. But she knows she will as moving is not an option. Jared decides to vary the next 16 strokes. He strikes the back of her left thighs on the 5 welts already there then he strikes her bottom of her left foot twice. Tears are streaming down her face as she utters “nineteen, Daddy”. Jared then strikes the same five welts already on the back of her right thigh. Her words are uttered almost on a scream now. “twenty-four, Daddy” He then strikes her bottom of her right foot twice. She is crying now. “Twenty-Six, Daddy” He then snaps his fingers and takes the palm of his hand and pops her bottom. She knows what this means and she kneels up at attention so that her breast are exposed. In quick succession, he strikes the left breast and then the right breast. “T-T-Twenty-Eight, Daddy”, Natalie stammers through a sob. Jared pets her on the head and places the cane on the coffee table. He picks up the cock gag and tells her to open her mouth. He inserts the cock gag and then tells her to resume what she is supposed to do.

Natalie gingerly rises to her feet. She curtseys to Jared and to Adam and walks backward toward the foyer since that is the way her back was facing and she knows she cannot turn her back to her Daddy or to Adam. She backs out of the living room until she is out of view of the occupants and takes the long route to the kitchen. She is a bit frazzled and imagines that her punishment has just begun. She enters the kitchen and sets up the serving cart with the pasta and the spaghetti sauce. She adds bottled water, a variety of bottled juices and a bottle of white zinfandel to the cart because she does not know if Daddy wishes alcohol to be served and he did not specify. She takes the garlic bread out of the oven and places that on the tray as well. She also takes the dishes and silverware to set the table and then goes to the rear of the kitchen to press the button for the elevator. The elevator comes and Natalie pushes the cart on the elevator and hits two for the second floor. The elevator opens on the second floor and she pushes the cart down the hall to the lavender suite. She opens the door to the suite and sees the table in the sitting room. She pushes the tray in and the stinging in her buttocks and thighs and breasts feels worse from the exertion so she sucks a bit on the cock gag to release some tension. She then pulls a tablecloth out of the buffet by the wall and sets the tablecloth on the table. In a matter of moments she has the table set and the glasses on the table. She leaves the food on the tray but puts the drinks on the buffet. She checks to see that everything looks good and then leaves and closes the door. She is a little stiff so she considers the elevator back down but is in enough trouble so she goes down the hallway to the stairs.

She walks down the stairs and then proceeds into the living room. She goes to kneel in front of her Daddy who is sitting back in his chair – drinking a screwdriver. Jared looks at Natalie and wonders just what he is going to do with her. Unfortunately, for her – the evening has just begun. He looks at Vicky and tells her he thinks it is time for dinner. He tells Vicky that she may rise but admonishes her that her back is never to be turned to a Dom or Domme and that she is never to walk in front of one. Vicky curtseys to him much as she has seen Natalie do and he smiles at her and says, “Good Girl”. He then snaps his fingers for Natalie to follow him and leads the way upstairs with Natalie and Vicky right behind him. He leads them to the lavender room. He opens the door and goes in. He stands at the table and motions for Vicky to join him and kneel at a cushion at one end of the table. Natalie stands just inside the door waiting for instruction from Jared. “Natalie,”, Jared says “Fix a plate for Vicky”. Natalie gives a curtsey since she is unable to give a verbal response. She takes Vicky’s plate from the table and goes over to the serving cart. She then begins to fix Vicky’s plate and the room is quiet so she knows that they hear her stomach growling. She places the plate in front of Vicky and then walks over to where her Daddy is standing and kneels. Vicky is famished but thinks that if she does not want to endure a punishment like Natalie maybe she should wait to be told to eat. Jared notices Vicky is waiting and thinks she is going to be a joy to train. He looks at Natalie and tells her that unfortunately she ate all she is going to eat this night. Natalie takes a panicked breath around the gag that she hopes her Daddy didn’t see. Vicky you may eat as much as you want this evening. Your training will begin in the morning. Jared then tells Natalie to bring him a chair, which she immediately does. He sits and snaps his fingers for Natalie to kneel again. Vicky cleans her plate in record time and asks if she may have some water. Jared tells her that she can get water from the buffet and he watches to see if she will turn her back to him. Vicky remembers and turns in such a way that her back is never to Jared as she gets the water and goes back to kneel at the table. Jared tells both girls that the dishes can be left until the morning because it is time for bed. He tells Vicky that this is her suite for the duration of her time here and that the bedroom is through the French doors and that there is a pair of pajamas laid out on the bed for her use. He will come in the morning to begin her training and she should probably take a hot shower before going to bed. He then goes to the door to leave but not before admonishing Vicky to try to go right to sleep because she will have a busy day tomorrow. He snaps his fingers for Natalie to follow him out. Once in the hall, he tells Natalie to go to his room and wait in presentation position until he gets there. She curtseys to him and he goes toward the steps as she backs toward his room.
