Punishing Cynthia

Mistress Lea knew the lesson only flesh can teach. She landed the first cane strike sharp across Cynthia's ass. The crack echoed. Cynthia flinched hard but caught the sound of her own moan and swallowed it. Lea waited, cane resting on the tender stripe. She leaned in close, lips at the girl's ear. 'That one stays. So will the next. They'll teach you where your limits actually live.' Cynthia breathed. Her hands shook against the restraints. Lea drew the rattan back and struck again, harder, exact. A line of white, then crimson. Cynthia jerked. Her hips pushed into the sting, not away from it. They both noticed. Lea placed her palm over the swelling mark, soothing then pressing, mixing pain with pressure. 'You don't decide what hurts. You only decide whether you take it with dignity.' She circled the next stroke lower, caught the tender crease where ass met thigh. Cynthia cried out, voice raw and immediate. Tears came but the breathing evened after. Lea pressed a finger between swollen lips, found wetness that betrayed every protest. 'See? Humility tastes better than pride.' Another blow fell. Slower this time. Deliberate. The cane whistled. Cynthia met it with a clenched jaw and wet cunt clenching air. Silence stretched. Lea ran the tip of the cane across the raised welts, writing lines on skin the way a poet chooses words. 'Next lesson's respect,' she said. 'You thank me after each stripe.' She struck again. Cynthia gasped the word 'thank you,' and meant it this time.
