"It's a party," I told my girlfriend, Elena. "Loosen up a little bit."
Elena's eyes flashed at me, and I felt the familiar falling feeling in the pit of my stomach - I was in trouble! Somehow, in my desire to have a good time at this fairly formal party she'd insisted I attend, I had managed to cross a line with my dominant girlfriend. The look on her face told me - I was going to be punished.
"Come with me, Ryan," she ordered, snapping her fingers. She grabbed my tie as if it were a leash and led me. She glanced over her shoulder as she did.
"Hands behind your back and your head and eyes down as we walk," she told me sternly. I obeyed, blushing, ashamed and hoping nobody was watching.
"Someone's about to have some fun," I heard a woman say. "But I don't think it's him."
Elena walked me out of the house and down a walkway lit dimly by outside lights. She stopped at a stone bench, her heels clicking off the hard walkway, and sat down.
"Strip," she ordered. "The sooner you get naked, the sooner I can get this over with for both of us, but know this - you're getting much worse when we get home."
My eyes widened. "You're going to spank me here? What if someone walks out here?!"
"Lower your voice, Ryan," she said sharply, but quietly. "I don't care who sees it. I'm not ashamed to dominate you. When you get out of line, I am not ashamed to correct you. Naked, now!"
I swallowed hard and actually considered trying to run away. She could never catch me in those heels after all. I looked down at her lap, knowing I was about to go across it, running away was a silly idea.
I started to undress, and she told me to hand over my tie. Once I was naked, my eyes on her lap as I stripped, she stood, turned me around, and tied my hands behind my back with the tie she'd used as a leash to get me out here. She sat back down, putting one hand on her knee.
"Over you go," she told me. "And since you resisted, and I believe you considered running away, once I spank you, I'm going to tie your feet and make you kneel out here for an hour facing the wall. If anyone walks by, you're on display and will not speak to them."
"Please don't," I said, falling to my knees and kissing her feet. "Please don't do that to me."
"You did it to yourself with your misbehavior," she answered. "Over my lap, now, little boy."
I felt tears in my eyes as I surrendered, bending over her beautiful lap. I was so embarrassed, and ashamed, and when she laughed, I only felt worse.
"Here comes Elaine," she said. "I guess you are going to have an audience after all. Maybe from now on you'll behave yourself. If you thought I wouldn't punish you because we're at a party, now you know to think again."
