Chapter 54

• The first five hurt more than anything that ever hurt before, but you revel in it so you ask for another five. Five more strikes with the cane, but as nine strikes your skin the pain is overwhelming. “Red!”
• Matthew drops the cane to the floor and crouches at your side, cradling your face in his hands. “Are you okay?” Before his eyes had been filled with confidence, determination, arousal, but now they’re filled with fear. Fear that he’d gone too far and truly hurt you. The truth is that you took a few extra hits to impress him. You failed as a submissive.
• “I’m okay. Just…that last one put me over the top.”
