“I’m sorry, Master Daniel.”
“I’m sure you are. And I know you weren’t looking for a punishment, were you? You weren’t trying to be a brat.” He stroked her ass with the belt, gentle caresses with smooth, slick leather.
“I wasn’t, no. I don’t play brat.”
“I didn’t think so. Which almost makes it worse.”
She shifted a little, putting her hands under her stomach so she was resting on them rather than directly on the narrow wooden back. “You prefer brats?”
“No, that’s not what I’m saying. You weren’t paying attention. You weren’t in the moment, and you should have been.”
Autumn put the tip of her tongue between her teeth to stop herself from saying something that would not help the situation.
He came closer and crouched so he could see her face, and she could see his. His lips twitched. “Does it hurt? Holding back whatever sassy comment you clearly want to make.”
“I said I wasn’t a brat.”
“Brat and sass are two distinctly different things.”
That surprised her. “You think so?”
“I do. And anyone who doesn’t is an idiot. Sassy comments can be done in a bratty way, but pure sassy is rarely also bratty.”
“You’re a connoisseur.”
“I am. And if you’d said ‘a little cold’ in a different tone I might have thought it was brat. But you were distracted. Not in the moment.” He stroked the side of one hanging breast with the back of his finger. “That is as much my fault as yours.”
She never really considered the side of her breast a major erogenous zone. Nipple, of course. Underside? Yes.
Daniel had just proven she was too narrow minded. She felt that gentle stroke, his first time touching her bare breasts, in every part of her body.
“I’m paying attention now.” She’d meant the comment to be dry. It came out breathless.
Daniel laughed as he stood, and it wasn’t some menacing dark chuckle; it was a real, happy laugh that made her own lips twitch.
And made her heart race a little because she really liked this guy. If this had been a date—
The first slap of his belt against her ass shocked more than it hurt. She jumped, glad she had her hands under her to protect her middle.
“I lost you again there for a moment, didn’t I?”
Slap.
This one was firmer, but still just a quick sting. His belt wasn’t an impact toy, and so he wasn’t really using it as one.
“Yes, Sir,” she whispered. She wasn’t normally a whisperer, but her throat was tight and it was the best she could manage.
“Something is going on in your head that’s distracting you.”
Air whistled this time before the belt landed again.
Autumn whimpered and her pussy pulsed. She enjoyed impact play for impact play’s sake. She was rarely “punished” unless that was part of the negotiated scene, and usually she agreed to it because it was part of the Dom’s needs. She’d take a plug up her ass then go over a man’s lap for a spanking with a smile on her face, because she enjoyed the physical sensations, not because she got off on the taboo idea of being spanked.
What Daniel was doing right now was…different. He was punishing her for not paying attention. Not being present.
The first time when she failed to add a ‘Sir’ or ‘Master Daniel’ onto the end of the sentence, even after he’d warned her, it had been obvious she wasn’t really paying attention.
This second time, when she’d been distracted thinking about dating him, he’d noticed even though it hadn’t been as obvious. That meant he’d accurately read her body language and facial expression, which indicated that whileshemight not have been paying attention,hehad been watching her closely.
