This story was inspired by a female friend who sent me a message describing a similar, though less out-of-control, bondage/spanking adventure. I hope she, and everyone else, likes it. -- Imreadonly PAYMENT IN FULL by Imreadonly All right, I'll admit it. I'm a tease. Constantly turning you on when we were in public or when I knew you didn't have time to respond. And then turning all frosty whenever you were ready. What can I say? I'm a woman, and I love my power over men. I love watching them plead with their big puppy dog eyes...and watching them do tricks for me. You had every reason to be angry with me. I wanted to make it up to you, but how? What would you REALLY like? I spent a long time mulling it over. You were right, I owed you, big time! Yes, "owing you" was the key...but how could I pay you back? Then I remembered that dark sexual fantasy you had told me about. The one I would never, ever fulfill. It would be the ultimate power trip for your shattered male ego, the most wonderful, delicious, naughty, wicked "make-up" gift ever. Friday morning was the first day of our three day "make-up" weekend. When I called you on your cell you were only a few miles from the house. I sprang into action. First, I put the note on the front door: "COME IN! Sorry I'm so BEHIND! Payment in full inside!" The note was signed, "From April, a girl who OWES you!" Then I quickly stripped down to the buff. That's right -– totally bare. Birthday bare. I had nothing on but my naughty, mischievous smile. I opened the front window so I could hear you coming. Then I taped my second note of instructions to the middle of my back. I chuckled as I imagined you reading "the directions" while staring at my tight butt. I spread my legs and cuffed my ankles to the legs of the sofa chair. It was a huge, heavy sofa chair, and it spread me out wider than I had anticipated, but it was too late to fine tune my plan now. Besides, I knew you'd be here any moment… On the theory that what gags best, gags least, I had rush-ordered a cheap rubber bit that buckled behind my head. It was small, but large enough to render me unintelligible. As per your fantasy I would be unable to impede my impending punishment with lots of foolish, irrelevant girlish chatter. I couldn't form words and would be reduced to pleading for mercy with my big brown eyes (just like you). I picked up my final restraints -- the handcuffs for my wrists -- and waited. You were close, but I wasn't stupid, and I wasn't about to cuff myself butt-naked with the front door open until I was certain you were here. It felt strange, to be standing in my living room, birthday bare, with my legs spread and cuffed. The oddest part was the sensation of being gagged. I had tried it out when it first arrived, of course, and it had seemed fine. But, as I bit down, I discovered it had an unpleasant, rubbery taste. I wished that I'd had something more to drink or at least had soaked the gag in something sweet before locking it into my mouth. However, there wasn't time for regrets. You'd be here any moment. At the last possible instant, when I heard your car pull into the drive, I bent over the end of the sofa chair and cuffed my left wrist to the left arm, and my right wrist to the right arm. Click, click. So easy. A beautiful woman locked into position for your viewing pleasure. My trim, sexy bottom was the highest point of my body and was sticking straight up in the air. My legs were spread far wider than I had intended, but, now that I was bent over, it was even worse. When I had tried out the position yesterday I hadn't actually locked the restraints and so hadn't realized how the ankle cuffs would force me to put my bare feet so far apart. I blushed at the thought of what you would see when you opened the door. I had planned on giving you a little peek, not to spread myself out for a gynecological exam. But I was certain that you, being a guy, would enjoy the view. I waited expectantly. I waited. I waited some more. Nothing. The first hint that something was terribly wrong was when I heard Mr. Crackle's wind chimes followed by the sound of his front door slamming. In a horrifying instant, I realized my mistake. It wasn't you in the driveway, it was Mr. Crackle, my elderly neighbor. Now that senile old man I liked to flirt with was sitting in front of his television enjoying a brew while I stood cuffed in my living room with my bare fanny pointing skywards. Despite my predicament I smiled through my gag. Horny old Mr. Crackle had been ogling me for years, and whenever I slipped out onto our back deck to sunbathe he would be out in seconds to start "gardening." If he knew what was behind my front door he would have busted his pacemaker racing over to see. I waited. And waited. I tested my cuffs. I had done my work well. I was locked in. Trapped! No chance of escape. I looked at my purse, which was sitting next to the handcuff keys on the coffee table -– 4 feet away from my twisting, wiggling fingers. I didn't lock the cuffs until you were at the front door especially to avoid this. Where WERE you? When the phone rang I jumped up. Actually, I started to jump up then stopped abruptly, like a puppy jerked back by her leash. My pulse quickened as I heard your voice on my answering machine. "Hi, April! Sorry I'm late but my roadster's engine's on fire. They're putting it out right now, but I have to spend a bunch of time with the police and then get it hauled away. I'll come by as soon as I can. I am SO sorry!" My heart sank as I heard that third fatal "click" -– the sound of you hanging up. Your roadster was burning? Why couldn't you buy a Toyota or a Honda or something sensible. MEN! I jerked again as I heard the cell phone in my purse ring...and ring...and ring. My fingers twisted helplessly as I imagined answering it and begging you to race over to rescue me. Instead, the second copy of your regrets was locked safely in my purse. I groaned into my gag as I strained against the cuffs. Not only was I locked and spread, but, in my current position, it was impossible for me to get any leverage whatsoever. I was trussed and displayed in the most obscene pose imaginable, and I would remain that way for the duration. They say that blind people can hear better, but in my case it was the helplessness of my bondage that sharpened my senses. I was acutely aware of every sound in my neighborhood -– the wind rustling through the trees, my neighbor's wind chimes, and the sound that cars make as they traveled in the distance. I could even hear the squirrels playing, jumping from the trees to our garage roof as they scurried about their business. Yes, everyone was free -– the wind, the people in their cars, the squirrels and the birds and the bees. Everyone except me. Every now and then my ears pricked up at the sound of voices...masculine voices. I panicked, as I was butt naked and bound, and there was a note on my door that started with the now ominous invitation to "COME IN!" I wanted to be discovered and freed, but I didn't want anyone but you to open that door. As I heard the murmur of the voices I prayed that the fire department worked quickly. I strained to hear. After several agonizing minutes I realized the source of my terror was Mr. Crackle's ballgame, courtesy of my open window. I was hearing the sound of the crowd each time there was a hit, or the voice of the announcer when he got particularly excited about some stupid thing or another. I had teased Mr. Crackle for years, flirting with him, posing for him in my bikini, then calling his wife to get him in trouble. He had confessed to me once that since I had moved in he had been both 10 times more horny and 100 times more celibate. It might have been agonizing for him, but it pleased me enormously. My vibrator got a work out as I relished his frustration with a sweetness he would never enjoy. Now it was my turn to be frustrated as he teased and tantalized me with his idiotic ballgame. Even after my first few moments on the griddle passed, and I realized it was only the television, the sound of voices, particularly male voices, filled me with dread. I wanted to be freed, but I dreaded having someone find me and hoped that you would soon be here, flowers in hand, to rescue me and apologize for your stupidity in driving to our romantic weekend in a flaming car. MEN! The next sound that puzzled me was a weird clicking sound, a clicking different than the handcuff lock or the phone. This click was sporadic and was followed by a faint buzz. My present position favored staring at the carpet, although I could crane my neck up for a few seconds at a time to scan a small section of the room. This resulted in a stiff neck but no answers. Finally I saw one of those big beetles flying into the walls. I watched closely as it buzzed around me for a few seconds. You'll never guess where it landed -– right on my exposed twat. It was an excellent choice. I had been using my vibrator liberally that morning, and, despite my terror at being discovered, my excitement at my bondage was palpable, and my sex was throbbing and juicy. The devilish little critter obviously smelled my musky excitement and came in for a landing on the juiciest runway he could find. I shook my hips, and he flew away...for a moment. Then he came back. On the second landing it took quite a bit more movement to shake him off. On his third try, he called my bluff. He realized he wasn't going to get swatted and all I could do was squirm. I shouted into my gag to frighten him away, a cheap trick that bought me another 30 seconds before his next visit. I wiggled my fanny. I cursed. I swore. Unfortunately for me, my sex was a horribly, wonderfully sticky place to explore, a beetle paradise, with plenty of ticklish hairs for him to grasp onto and salty gooeyness to lick up. Once he realized that the silly little human, for all her supposed brains, was utterly helpless and totally at his mercy, he investigated me at his leisure. I tired long before he did, and I lay there, helpless, spent, and exhausted, and he slowly tickled his way up towards my little love button, which was sitting out open, swollen, and totally exposed. I silently wondered if all of the bugs I had swatted over the years had somehow created this awful karma. How humiliating, to be bested by a beetle. When I felt his little antenna tickle the most sensitive area of my anatomy, I tried to shake him off, but it was no use. He quickly climbed aboard my little nub, triumphant in victory. I had been so distracted by my new master's explorations of my sex that I never even heard the truck pull up. It wasn't until I heard the clank of milk bottles that I realized who had arrived. My heart raced. It was Milkman Dan! I should explain. I always keep my milk account a month behind, which forces Milkman Dan to ring the bell and ask for his check. Although I am extremely smart, I can play the part of the scatterbrained female to perfection, and I love teasing Dan by answering the door in a towel or my shortest bathrobe. Poor old Dan is about 50, and portly, and I'm betting he and his wife haven't had sex in forever. In other words, Dan is the perfect victim, another man I can make dance to my tune. Every month I would invite him in for coffee, then prance about the kitchen with next to nothing on as I bent and reached up and squatted looking for that gosh darn checkbook. Eventually, his radio would go off, and his furious dispatcher would ask kim where he was. Poor Milkman Dan! Horny as hell and in trouble at work, too. After teasing him into a frenzy, I would kick him out and then run upstairs for a an extremely satisfying session with my vibrator, which, when I set it on high, sounds exactly like my weed whacker. On those few occasions where I saw him scurrying about later in the day (racing to finish his route), I was delighted to see that he was still sporting an enormous tent in his pants. Poor Milkman Dan. Behind schedule and still no relief. Milkman Dan was here to see me, but I was in no position to receive visitors. The beetle had nothing on the butterflies in my stomach as I remembered the note on my front door: "COME IN! Sorry I'm so BEHIND! Payment in full inside!" Signed, "From April, a girl who OWES you!" The window was open, and I could hear every movement, every sound. Him putting the milk bottles in the milk case...his little curse as he fumbled for his glasses to read the note on the door...the sound of my heart pounding. My fiendish little LOVE BUG must have been listening, too, for I felt the tiny tickle of his victory dance on my exquisitely sensitive and totally unprotected clit. Finally, there was the sound of a doorknob turning. The bastardly beetle, sensing his time was up, flew the coop as Milkman Dan entered. ****************************** Part 2 I was acutely aware of sound, and the silence from Milkman Dan was truly deafening. The first clue I had that I was not alone was a soft chuckle, followed by a low, lingering, wolf whistle...and a hearty, guttural laugh. Dan was obviously pleased that he had put on his glasses. My face turned crimson as I imagined his beady eyes burning into my fanny and exposed snatch. I chewed my gag as I tasted the bitter fruits of all of the bad karma I had created. I had teased him for years, and now he was enjoying payment in full. "What do we have here?" he said stupidly as he drank in the sight of my raised bare fanny and my hot, wet, gaping sex. I say "stupidly" because the answer was blindingly obvious. It was the horniest, hottest housewife ever, served up on a platter and ready for anything he wanted. Unfortunately for little old me, the note on the small of my back contained directions. The WRONG directions. Or the right ones, but for the wrong person. Or...you know what I mean. The directions were taped on me, and I felt like a stray dog or a bag of groceries as I felt him lean over me to read the words that sealed my fate: "I hope you enjoy your PAYMENT IN FULL. I've been a naughty, nasty, mischievous little minx, and I need a good old-fashioned fanny-tanning. If I squirm and squeal, that means spank harder, because I'm loving it. If you have any doubts, just check my gooey little honey pot." He didn't need to be asked twice. I gasped as I felt his rough, pudgy fingers running down the lips of my exposed sex. I gurgled helplessly into my gag as I felt first one, then two, then three fingers slip into my shamefully wet pussy. "You ARE a randy little minx, aren't you?" he asked, as his fat little fingers explored my most secret place. "I didn't know a woman could be this wet. You're dripping on your carpet." It was true. I WAS dripping wet, and, despite my humiliation, I was desperate for release. I was totally at the mercy of a man I had teased and tormented for ages. What made it even MORE humiliating was that his fingers felt so damn good. He laughed as I pushed back and began humping his hand. "Whoa there, missy," he patronized. "You've been a naughty girl, and you're here to be punished, not pleasured. Now, if I'm not mistaken, I believe the note said something about a 'good old-fashioned fanny-tanning....'" I shouted into my gag. Did you know a frantic, loud, "No, don't spank me!" translates into "OH, ON'T ANK MMM" in gag-ese? He laughed at my desperate struggles. "Don't worry, we'll get started soon. But I really should do something about this gooey pussy. After all, I don't want you to enjoy your spanking TOO much," he snorted. "If you're enjoying this, April, and you want me to spank you harder, then hump my fingers…" I didn't WANT to hump his fingers. In fact, I was mortified to have him see me this way, let alone have him touch me, and touch me THERE, of all places. But my pussy was in charge now, and she had a mind of her own. His touch was electric, and my tight little pussy gripped his pudgy fingers and squeezed in a desperate bid for relief. He slid his fingers in, then out. I blushed as I felt my juices dribble down my thighs. When his thumb moved up to my clit, it was all over, and I had the orgasm of my life. It was an out-of-body experience. I felt dizzy, humiliated, dazed, ecstatic, helpless, fulfilled, joyful, mortified, relieved, and a dozen other emotions I can't describe -– and I felt them all at once. It took me a moment to return to earth and remember where I was. The first thing I recall feeling was the stroking of the pudgy fingers, followed by his mocking voice. "Oh, that was a good one. Let's see if you can do it again. Get going, girl. I want to see that little pussy hole of yours pucker up and dance." I had always loved "performing" for Dan, but this wasn't the sort of show I'd had in mind. In the past, I was the one in charge, and he was MY pathetic puppet. But the cosmic wheel had turned, and now he was pulling my strings. And pull them he did. And squeeze them. And stroke them. I didn't want to orgasm for him. "I have to hold on," I thought. "I can't cum in front of HIM! Not the damn milkman!" It was the most humiliating moment of my life. Nonetheless, I squirmed my hips as the powerful, unstoppable pressure slowly, incessantly built… I danced for his pleasure. Or to be more specific about it, my pussy danced, through my second, then my third orgasm. As I spasmed, his voice burned in my ears. "Wow, look at that little pussy hole quiver. Wink at me, April! Wink it!" Wink it I did. As I write this, I'm blushing as I recall the show I put on. I was still gasping for air as he knelt down to wipe his gooey fingers in my hair. "Now that we've cleared your head, we can get down to business. Your account is $30 in...‘arrears,'" he said, laughing heartily at his own pun. I think that calls for thirty spanks." My head was still swimming, and the casualness of his tone belied the seriousness of my sentence. I was going to be spanked...for thirty measly dollars? I had gone to the cash station that morning for our weekend together, and there was over $200 in my purse. I was an adult woman, with a job. Was he really going to spank me like some naughty teenager who was a few dollars behind on her cell phone bill? The answer to the question was his big, pudgy hand, teasingly rubbing my exposed, helpless fanny cheeks.... Spank! Spank! Spank! I wiggled my fanny and shouted into my gag. Unfortunately for me, my note had said that was a signal that I wanted more. "Yes, I know you're enjoying it," he chuckled. "Well, if it's harder you want, it's harder you'll get." SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! The spanks exploded against my fanny. I wiggled more...which led to even harder spanks. You and I have a signal; when I curl my toes or pound my fists against something it means "stop." I felt okay writing the note because of our "safe" word -- or rather gesture. Unfortunately, during the many years I had teased my milkman, I had never mentioned this gesture. Nonetheless, I curled my toes and pounded my fist, hoping that my thought waves would convey the message. But the messages were all one-way, and my fanny was on the receiving end. SPANK! SPANK! SPANK! As I chewed on my putrid gag, I had plenty of time to regret the way I had treated Milkman Dan...and you, men, and people in general. "And one more to grow on!" he said, giving my raised fanny a final crackling salute. He knelt down into my field of vision. "That is twenty. Now I know you like it hard, so if you want, I can give you the last ten with my belt. Would you like that? Would you like to me to whip your naughty backside with my 'tubby belt?'" He had put on some weight recently, and, as a result, he had been forced to get a new belt. I had noticed it immediately because it was a thick black one that didn't bear the company logo, unlike his old belt. When I asked about it, he sheepishly admitted that the company store didn't have a belt in his size. From then on I had rather cruelly teased him about his "big fat tubby belt," which was "so tubby, it could barely fit through the pants loops." He was sensitive about his weight, but teasing him was just too much fun. Besides, I was his hottest customer, and I was bare naked under my towel, so I had the upper hand, right? Not any more. The wheel of fate had stopped spinning, and my number had definitely come up. Now I was going to get the tubby belt right across my bare fanny. I bit down on my gag as I stared at his belt. It was big and thick and black and long. The leather was strong and new, but it was soft and curvy too, from being forced to bend around Milkman Dan's girth all day. My bottom, already tender from the hand spanking, was oh so exposed. "So what will it be, darling?" he asked. "Do you want the tubby belt?" My mind raced. I had spent the last five minutes screaming "No!" into my gag and begging him to stop. Because of the stupid note I'd written, he had just spanked me harder. In panic, in desperation, perhaps in stupidity, I decided to try reverse psychology. I swallowed...and nodded my head up and down. Dan smiled as he pronounced my sentence. "Fine. The belt it is. Ten strokes, nice and snappy." Ten strokes, with the tubby belt. I shouted into my gag as he got up. "Hang on there, honey. I know you want it bad, but you have to wait for me to get it out of my pants." I was trembling and helpless as I listened to the most terrifying sound in the world: the sound of a man taking off his leather belt. I had seen men do it before, but I had never truly HEARD it until that moment. Sliding the end of the belt out from its place. The straining of the leather as he pulled it back to release the shiny hook from the punch hole. The sound of the belt coming undone as the ends separated. Then next sound was even worse...a sound that was so terrifying I almost pissed myself. I listened helplessly to the smooth, hissing sound, like a snake, that a belt makes when it's pulled over cloth. Did you know that Milkman Dan's pants had 9 loops? I know. I counted each one. Time slowed to a crawl. I heard the buckle jingle as he shook it out. I heard the leather bend as he doubled it up. I heard the belt slide across his meaty fingers as he tightened his grip. And, lastly, I both heard AND felt the tap-tap-tap of the leather across my exposed backside as he measured out the first stroke for my punishment. "I'm sorry, April, but you're a little tease, and you have this coming. You're a naughty, nasty, mischievous minx, and now it's time to pay the piper." I had written those words. I had written that I was naughty, nasty, and mischievous and that I needed a good old-fashioned fanny-tanning. What made it worse was that I knew that it was true. A little tease? Oh, how many times I've been called that? Okay, I'm guilty. You guys are so much bigger and stronger than us. But some of us have great genes, and I'm one of the lucky ones. I have a great body, and I make the most of it. You bet I'm a tease. It's what I do best. I was guilty as charged, and now it was time to pay up. I braced for the first stroke. WHIP! The first stoke exploded across my bottom. My head jerked, my body jerked. I made no sound. I was too shocked to scream. WHIP! Stroke two was worse, dead center. My fanny was spread open, which meant the belt had spanked the inside of my cheeks, an exquisitely sensitive area for spanking. I knew that I would not be sitting, or even walking, comfortably for several days. I couldn't speak, but my mind buzzed with apologies and pleas and promises. I knew that my bad karma had brought me to this point, and I hoped that my sincere contrition would earn me mercy. "I'm sorry, Milkman Dan, for prick-teasing you and prancing around with nothing on," I thought. WHIP! "I'm sorry about all those bad jokes I made, asking if you had any cream for me." WHIP! "I'm sorry I called you "tubby." WHIP! "I'm sorry I got you in trouble at work." WHIP! "I'm sorry I laughed at the big tent in your pants, as you scurried to make up the time I cost you. WHIP! "I'm sorry this gag tastes like shit." WHIP! "I'm sorry I'm always late paying my bill. From now on, it's going on my charge card." WHIP! "I'm sorry I'm such a randy, juicy little minx, who diddles herself as soon as you leave." WHIP! I knew the end was near as I heard his voice. "And one to grow on." Half-crazed from the spanking I made my final, solemn promise: "I'm sorry my vibrator is so noisy, and goes through so many batteries. I swear I'll buy an eco-friendly model." WHIP! I realized my ordeal was at an end when I felt his teasing fingers slowly stroking my crotch. Despite the shame and humiliation of my spanking -- or perhaps because of it -- it wasn't long before I was teetering on the edge of another mind shattering orgasm. Then the radio crackled, and the fiendish caress stopped. "Sorry, April, but I have to go. Sorry to leave you hanging, but you know how it is." No! No! I don't know how it is. Milkman Dan knows "how it is." He's the one who's supposed to be frustrated, not me. But fate, in the form of the dispatcher, had intervened. Now it was my turn to experience a morning of sexual frustration. I squirmed helplessly as I listened to Dan pull his tubby belt back through the belt loops, waiting for him to release me. "You have a good morning, Miss April. See you next week." I screamed into my gag as I heard the front door SLAM shut. Bastard! Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Time dragged on. As I whiled away the time, I wondered who my next visitor would be. Would you extinguish your damn car and come to rescue me? Would the scent of my arousal draw Mr. Crackle, my nosey, horny neighbor? I blushed crimson at the thought. Would Bertha Mae, the leader of our church choir, stop by with the new music? I knew she hated me, because of my "obscenely short" dresses and "scandalous" teasing. I had asked her to drop by this afternoon because I knew we would be gone on our trip by then, and it would really piss her off. On more than one occasion she said that someday she'd like to "take a hickory switch" to my "saucy cheeks." Would today be that day? If she found me, I knew I wouldn't get off easy. Women can be much crueler than men. Or would the Mexican gardeners, whom I could hear outside mowing the lawn, see the note on the door and venture inside? I certainly hoped not. A few months before, after parading around in my bikini in front of them, I had called their boss and threatened to have them "shipped back to Mexico" for "being uppity" and "gawking" at me. I knew that they'd taken my amusing but toothless threat seriously. They still looked, but averted their eyes when I glanced in their direction. Men can be so much fun. It was delightful to torment them. But. as I listened to them mow my lawn, my fun turned to fear as I thought of the fanny-tanning they'd give the shameless puta who had teased them so! As I waited I wondered, how long does it take to put out a fire? Men! Just when I thought my torment couldn't get worse, Beetle-Juice returned and began his dance anew. I chewed on my gag and braced myself for a very long day. ****************************** Part 3 I remained bent at the waist, bottoms up, with my legs spread wide, listening to the soft buzzzzing noise drifting through the air. I wanted desperately to run away, or at least close my widely splayed legs, but I could not. I was utterly helpless, draped across my own easy chair, an urban legend come to life, a cautionary tale of a sexual fantasy gone awry. I had bound and gagged myself as a treat for my boyfriend and had left a note on the door for him to COME IN and a second note on my back for him to spank me. But he had cancelled and had left me to the tender mercies of whomever entered the room. A few minutes earlier I had been spanked by my milkman, a tubby chump left hopelessly horny by my constant teasing. Mercifully, he had finally left, but I was alone now. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Well, ALMOST alone! After a few seconds of circling the landing field, the beetle who had tormented me previously landed dead center on my right bottom cheek. I was acutely aware of his landing, both because my previous agonies had made me sensitive to his power over me, and because my reddened bottom, still fresh and smarting from the attentions of Milkman Dan's leather belt, was exquisitely sensitive. I swear I could feel each of the pest's little feet as he happily trotted across my naked fanny towards the source of the Nile. To me, it was the most sensitive and private part of my girlish anatomy, a closely guarded and seldom revealed treasure. But to Mr. Beetle, it was a tropical rainforest, filled with wet grass and wonderfully earthy scents and delicious wet nectars for him to roll around in and enjoy. I tried to shake him off, but he was onto my tricks and paid no attention as wiggled my fanny and pleaded futilely into my gag. He was in charge, and he knew it. My frantic protests, while amusing, were utterly beside the point. My gooey little honey pot was his to tease, tickle, and explore. And tease he did. Gravity had caused my juices to run down my pussy-lips and pool around my shamefully exposed love button. To my great distress, my new master quickly caught the wave and effortlessly surfed on down to the center of the action. My eyes bulged with shame and humiliation as he climbed aboard my clit and begin his devilish dance -– walking, sniffing, exploring, and licking up the juiciness that was even now flowing in ever-greater quantities. I dug my fingers into my palm as I imagined giving him a good swat. Just one good THWACK with a rolled up newspaper would do it, and, even in my present position, I would have gladly taken the swat to have been rid of him. But it was not to be. Instead, I lay there, exhausted by my struggles, my humiliating spanking, and my own embarrassment at the hands one of the little creatures that I had spent my whole life stepping on, swatting, and spraying. Had the bad karma that my zero tolerance bug policy had created led me to my sorry fate? Was there a cosmic irony in my present predicament, or was I projecting meaning on an absurd twist of fate? My little buggy master did not care about my musings. Nibble, nibble. Lick, lick, lick. Now, over to the other side.... I screamed into my gag. He did not care. Rivulets of sweat beaded along my forehead and ran into my eyes. I felt strangely grateful for the distraction, as the burning in my eyes diverted me from the teasing, tickling, tantalizing torment of my throbbing clitoris. Tickle, tickle, tickle! Mmmm-mmm—good! Under that sort of torment, how long can sixty seconds last? The correct answer is: FOREVER. I prayed for him to finish and fly away. Then I prayed for him to drown. I prayed to grow a horse tail, so I could brush him away. Finally, in desperation, I prayed for someone, ANYONE, to come in, so I could be rescued. Still my heart raced as the sound of the mower grew closer, and I realized that my prayers might soon be answered. It was one of the Mexican gardeners, pushing his mower as he trimmed my front lawn. I didn't know his name, of course -– why on earth WOULD I? He was an illegal immigrant, and I was an American citizen. His job was to give, my job was to take. Why would I bother with the likes of him? But I HAD bothered, much to my regret. I'd enjoyed parading around in front of the illegals in my bikini. Once or twice, on an especially blistering day, they actually asked me for a drink of water. I had obliged. I didn't let them use one of my glasses, of course, which would have been disgusting, but I did let them use the garden hose. Unfortunately, after a few months of teasing, they had gotten the wrong idea and began to ogle me more openly. They smiled when the saw me and whispered amongst themselves. Once, I actually heard them use the word "puta." Clearly they were getting uppity and needed to be taught their place. The point of the game was that I was free to parade past them because they were not men, but mere servants. Then they gained self-confidence and ogled me like men instead of invisible lawn ornaments my power dynamic had aimed at destroying. As their social superior it was my job to remind them of their proper position. I called their boss and threatened to have the whole lot of them shipped back to Mexico or wherever the hell it was they came from if they didn't start treating me with the respect that I deserved. The very next week they averted their eyes, made no comments, and in general treated me with proper awe. I still posed and pranced for them, of course, but I was in control, and they were careful to avert their gaze whenever I glanced in their direction. In short, they were totally cowed -– like a servant should be. After all, they WERE my inferiors. But as I listened to the anonymous, singing Mexicans mowing my well-manicured lawn, I felt anything but superior. In my present position I was at the mercy of anyone who cared to open my door. If they saw the note and entered, they would find me tied, naked and spread. And, when they found the note urging them to spank me, they would set my fanny ablaze. As for my legal rights, I had none. I had written a note inviting them in -- and a second note asking them to whip my bottom. How could I prosecute someone for following my instructions? Even if I wanted to, it would require me to tell my story to the police, to the district attorney, to the tv cameras, to the newspapers.... No. There would be no police. I would be totally at the mercy of the Mexicans, and they could do whatever they wanted to me. I had teased them and underpaid them and abused them. By a twist of fate the wheel of justice had turned, and now each of them would have a chance to extract payment in full. Furthermore, if the half dozen randy men caught me like this, with a sign that instructed them to inspect by gooey, hopelessly randy twat, I knew full well that, besides money, I would also owe them a more personal service. My mind raced. I realized when the mower receded into the distance that I had only been contemplating what the gardeners might do with me for a couple of minutes, although it seemed like hours. The mowing noise gone, I was free to concentrate on my other miseries. Each sensation made the other worse. First and foremost, there was the tireless tormenter riding my clit, teasing and tickling -– and applying just not quite enough pressure to grant me the release I so desperately craved. The anguish was unspeakable, and, in my frustration, I strained against my bonds until my shoulders ached. This in turn triggered more sweat on my brow, which dribbled down and into my eyes since I was powerless to wipe it away. The mounting discomfort of my sweaty water-torture caused me to wimper in agony, which released more of the foul rubber taste of the cheap gag into my mouth. At the point when I thought the taste would make me puke, my six-legged master would refocus my attentions as if to remind me who was in charge. Tickle, tickle, tickle! Lick, lick, lick! Then the cycle would begin anew. Time and space lost all meaning. Indeed, I was so consumed by the spin cycle of my misery that I never even heard the door open. The first clue I had that something was amiss was when the maddening, infuriating, delightfully awful tickling stopped. A few seconds later my heart skipped a beat as I heard a familiar, whip-sharp, "church lady" voice: "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" My heart sank! Bertha Mae! Why did it have to be BERTHA MAE? ****************************** PAYMENT IN FULL by Imreadonly Part 4 The beady-eyed old biddy had hated me on sight. She was the leader of the church choir and, until I came along, our lead soloist. She didn't like handing the solos to me, but, when I suggested that we put it to a vote, I won hands down. She said I won because of the "shameless" way I dressed. Can I help it that all the men voted for me? Yes, I wore short, sexy dresses to church. Our choir practices hard, and why shouldn't the men have something enjoyable to look at? Besides, my body is God's creation too, and it's not my fault that Bertha (great voice or not) eats like a sumo wrestler? Nonetheless, the die was cast. I knew that she called me a "shameless tart" and a "Sidewalk Sally" behind my back. She turned the other old biddies against me and circulated a petition on "proper dress" which she thoughtfully nailed to my front door. I think she was surprised when I showed up for choir practice in a denim mini-skirt and midriff-baring "Jesus Loves Me!" t-shirt, looking sexy as hell. "Obviously someone didn't get the message," I heard her hiss to one of her friends. "I got THE MESSAGE, thank you very much," I shot back, "but you're not Martin Luther and I don't appreciate messages nailed to my door." Bertha's Mae's beady eyes burned through me. "You're lucky it's not Luther's day. Then, you would have been hauled off to the town square, stripped naked as the day God made you, then bent over and locked in the stocks. The fur would fly when those ripe little curves of yours felt the sting of the birch. I would make your saucy bare bottom dance a jig, with everyone watching. You wouldn't look so hoity-toity with every bit of your body on display for everyone to enjoy." I was in shock. It was obvious from the loving detail and the glazed-over eyes that she was replaying a carefully memorized fantasy. As her eyes ran up and down my body, I realized that she wanted me as badly as any of the men did, even if she would never admit it. Bertha Mae, choir leader, President of the Birdwatchers Society, and all-around goody-goody, wanted to spank my fanny and make me yelp. Although Bertha Mae was nominally in charge, the choir was mine, and I held final sway. But her imaginary punishment had a definite appeal, and, as I looked around, I realized that all of the men and many of the women were now lost in the fantasy of the town doxy's public, bare bottom scourging. "Perhaps we should put it to a vote. I can leave the choir and join another congregation, if that's the way you all feel," I suggested slyly. Bertha, her old biddy friends, and some of the housewives who weren't nearly as hot as me voted to have me shunned. However, their pitiful votes were easily overwhelmed by the men (and, I'm embarrassed to say, women) who were anxious not to lose their favorite piece of eye candy. "I never knew I was so popular," I chuckled. "Perhaps I should run for choir director." My suggestion was greeted by much applause and encouragement, in truth I was happy to let Bertha do all the work. I chuckled as she turned white because I knew my message had hit home: her choir directorship, the most precious thing in the world to her, was mine for the taking -– so she'd better watch her step. Now my arch-enemy, the terror of our choir, was behind me, and I was trussed up like a turkey, with my legs spread wide and my fanny raised high for discipline. She could hardly conceal her delight as she read the note that was taped to my back: "I hope you enjoy your PAYMENT IN FULL. I've been a naughty, nasty, mischievous little minx, and I need a good old-fashioned fanny-tanning. If I squirm and squeal, that means spank harder, because I'm loving it! If you have any doubts, just check my gooey little honey pot." My fingers dug into my palms as listened helplessly to her shrill, patronizing, school marm voice. "Well, I certainly agree with that. A good fanny-tanning is exactly what you need, and it's long overdue, young lady. Now let's check out that 'gooey little honey pot,' shall we?" Decent people may be shocked to hear this, but they will be no more shocked than I was. Ms. Busybody, the leader of our church choir, the paradigm of moral virtue, slid two fingers into my soaking wet cunt and diddled me like nobody's business. "My, you ARE a juicy little slut, aren't you? Did you get yourself all hot and bothered parading around in your scanties? You like that, don't you...shaking your cute little butt and boobies for all the men to gawk at. Pity they can't see you now." Unfortunately, if her behavior was shameless, mine was even worse. Despite my humiliation, I found myself shamelessly grunting, twisting my hips, and humping her pudgy fingers. As a woman, she knew all the buttons to press to drive a girl crazy. She knew precisely how to take me to the edge...and precisely when to stop. That's right, stop. Cold. No warning, no mercy. Time and again, when I was a nano second away from the most mind-bending climax ever, Bertha Mae would stop cold, all the while scolding me for my "wantonness" and "lewd behavior." At the conclusion of one such cruel denial, she knelt down and brushed the hair out of my eyes. "This note is in your handwriting. You invited me over here, but you didn't expect me to find you like this, did you?" I nodded sadly. "You did this for someone else, didn't you?" I nodded again. "You tied yourself up for your boyfriend, didn't you?" I hesitated, then nodded. "Don't you see, April?" she said, using a handkerchief to gently wipe the sweat off my brow. "Providence has delivered you into my hands. I said you needed to be stripped naked for your wantonness, and naked and humiliated you are. I said you needed to be bent over bare for a good birching, and here you are, tied down, bottom raised for discipline. There is even a birch tree in the front yard. Don't you see? The good Lord has delivered you to me. I am to take charge of your wholesome and edifying moral correction, for your salvation and the good of us all." At this point, I wasn't sure if she was merely tormenting me with irony or was just nuts. But I had to admit that, given her fantasy of what she wanted to do to me and the position I found myself in now, it was hard not to believe that destiny had taken a hand. I knew that I shouldn't have been such a tease or threatened to take the choir away from her. But did I have to be punished like this, by her? In some strange, kinky way, was this truly justice, payment in full for my transgressions? If so, I was about to learn how stern fate can be. Fate or fancy, my destiny was sealed. I watched helplessly as she took a pocketknife out of her purse and walked out the front door, singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" with great gusto. As soon as she left, the beetle returned, but in truth I did not care. In truth I was so terrified of the birch and so exhausted by my dozen near-miss orgasms, that I simply let him have his way with me. I listened helplessly to Bertha Mae singing cheerfully as cut the switches from my lovely tree in the front yard -– switches that would soon be dancing across my bottom. "Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise!" I was already quivering -– and in a moment, no doubt, she would have me shouting out. "We are not divided, all one body we, One in hope and doctrine, one in char-i-ty!" The SWISH SWISH SWISH that punctuated the beat told me that, although the song was nearly over, my time to dance was drawing near. Soon, too, it would be my turn to sing, and, knowing her, there would be much doctrine and little charity. My heart pounded as she entered the room, and the little beetle flew away. Obviously he didn't wish to mess with Bertha Mae and her switches anymore than I did. Much to my surprise, when Bertha Mae entered she did not go about her holy work right away. Instead, in an act of unspeakable cruelty, she laid the three birch rods she had selected on the carpet, directly under my nose. Not only could I see them, but I could smell their freshness and squirm as the aroma of their sap wafted up into my nose. "Something for you to meditate on, while I prepare for your just correction," she said. I heard her fumbling through the cabinets behind me, but I paid it no mind. My eyes were fixated on the birch rods, the traditional tools for correcting naughty girls -– and shameless strumpets -– who had gotten too big for their britches. I had never imagined that I would feel them, but my ignorance was of no consequence. I was simply one more in a long line of naughty miscreants sentenced to the birch. I imagined my bottom in a long row, squirming with countless other bottoms awaiting the sting of justice. Was it justice? Maybe not, but in this room Bertha Mae was now the law, and my stupid note had rendered her free to give me whatever discipline she deemed appropriate for my various transgressions. For a moment I actually imagined myself back in Salem, stripped naked in the town square, quivering as the shrewish old crone of a choir director teasingly laid the birches under my nose for "meditation." My meditation was interrupted by the sound of Bertha's voice. "It's good that you use the same model as I do for recording the choir practice. That should make it easy to set up. Now where's that tripod?" What was she blathering about? Then the word "tripod" registered in my brain. She was videotaping my punishment. She laughed as I shouted into my gag and instinctively struggled to close my thighs. "Now, now, my dear, don't strain yourself. We don't have a town square to display that big fat bottom of yours in, so I suppose the Internet will have to do!" You can imagine how I strained againt my bonds. I cursed silently and pulled so hard I'm surprised I didn't separate myself in two. A spanking on the Internet, with my legs spread wide and my soggy pussy on display for everyone in the world to see. This was WORSE than the town square. "Oh, don't have a tantrum!" Bertha Mae chided, scolding me like a small child who didn't want to take her medicine. "I may show it to some of my friends at church who agree that your correction is long overdue. But I won't put it on the Internet...assuming that you behave." My heart sank at the word "behave," since I knew that my "reprieve" was almost as bad as my initial sentence. I would be Bertha's bitch, under her thumb and (judging from the way she had looked at me when she had laid the switches under my nose) over her knee. I knew that my spanking today was not the end of it. From this point on, by ass belonged to Bertha. "We're recording now, April. Did you have anything you wanted to say?" I knew the camera was pointed at my bare bottom -– and thus up between my legs. I lay perfectly still, determined not to give her the satisfaction of performing on camera like a trained seal. She knelt down and picked up one of the three birch rods lying under my nose. "My, this is a nice one!" she said. I winced as she playfully SWISHED it through the air. "Nice and thin and whippy -– perfect for a naughty little bottom like yours, don't you agree?" The terror in my eyes answered my question. I agreed that it was the ideal instrument for disciplining a naughty girlish bottom -– just not mine. "Still, it would be more effective if I wet it a little. I don't have time to soak it. Where is that sink? Mmmm...I don't know. Well, I can simply wet it here." Can you imagine where she chose to "wet it"? I couldn't...until I felt the devilish birch rubbing against my pussy-lips. "'Atta girl, get it all nice and wet. After all, it will do a better job on your bottom the more flexible it is. Water that rod, girl. Juice it up for the camera." What choice did I have? None! I "watered" my punishment rod, wetting it for my chastisement and the future viewing pleasure of whomever she eventually decided to share my most shameful moments with. As if using my pussy to wet the stick wasn't bad enough, she soon began to use the tip to rub my exposed love button -– with predictable results. She thoughtfully provided the color commentary for my shameful performance. "That's it, you little slut. Juice the switch I'm going to beat your bottom with. Rub yourself like a bitch at a fire hydrant, and show us all what a randy little minx you are. Does it feel good, April? Do you like it? It will feel different when it whips your saucy bottom -– so get it nice and juicy." Bertha paused and adjusted the zoom so the camera would catch every little spasm, gyration, and quiver of my explosive orgasm. And explode I did, so badly that there was more than enough juice for her to work with when she used the second switch to bring me to my second orgasm...and the third switch to bring me to my third. By the time the switches were "properly wetted" I was exhausted from pleasure and beet red with humiliation at the thought of what she had captured on tape. The menacing sensation of Bertha tapping the birch rod against my bottom brought me back to life. "I brought one of my favorite songs over for you to hear, one that you convinced our choir to reject. I'm sure that after this you'll never hear this song in the same way again." I bit down on my gag as I heard Bertha Mae's boom box strike up the first few bars of THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC. She raised the switch high. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the com-ing of the Lord! (SWISH!) He is trampling out the vintage (SWISH!) where the Grapes of Wrath (SWISH!) are stored. (SWISH!) He hath loosed the fateful light- (SWISH!)ning (SWISH!) of His terrible (SWISH!) swift (SWISH!) sword. (SWISH!) His truth is march- (SWISH!) ing (SWISH!) on!" (SWISH!) Tears filled my eyes as Bertha beat out the Lord's justice on my naughty fanny. I vowed to be a good girl. I vowed not to think bad things about Bertha Mae, no matter how mean or fat or ugly or horrible she was. I vowed to wear panties with bunnies and rainbows, so that when men looked up my short little dress they'd think happy thoughts. I vowed to try to think about helping homeless people whenever I masturbated. Bertha sang along in a lovely, melodic voice, although she did laugh out loud at the phrase "before his judgment seat." I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so busy crying and wiggling and chewing on my gag and promising to be good. Did you know THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC has SIX stanzas? I did, and I bucked and twisted and squirmed my way through each one of them. The song seemed to last longer than the damn Civil War, and I didn't even know that it was over until the music stopped. I lay there exhausted, spent, repentant…yet strangely satisfied. I took the worse she had to offer, and I was still standing. Well, actually, I was bent over, but you get the idea. Bertha gave me a moment to compose myself. She brushed the hair out of my eyes and wiped away my tears. She even let me blow my nose in her handkerchief. The first hint I had that everything was not hunky-dory was when she set the video camera up so that it was pointed at my face. "I got some great bottom shots, dear, but now we need some reaction shots. My grandson Steve is 18, and he likes to edit video for his friends on the you-tube or whatever they call it. Anyway, when I told him about my little project, he said I should get face shots, too, so he could splice them together with the music and the action shots, and we could make a proper film of it." My heart raced as she tapped the second birch against my bottom. "Ready for Take 2, dear?" I was NOT ready for Take 2, and I screamed into my gag and shook my whole body as she playfully tapped the switch against my already spanked bottom. Bertha Mae laughed heartily. "I know what you're thinking. Since the camera's on your face, I could just pretend to spank you, and you could pretend that it stung. Unfortunately, I've seen your performances before, pretending that you weren't showing off in your little short-shorts, and you're not much of an actress. No, we want REAL tears, so I'm afraid a method performance is the best way." "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord! (SWISH!) He is trampling out the vintage (SWISH!) where the Grapes of Wrath (SWISH!) are stored." (SWISH!) Damn if that old biddy didn't hit me on all the same beats. What she lacked in mercy she certainly made up for in rhythm, and I was soon crying and mewing right into the camera and giving an absolutely pitch perfect performance of a naughty girl feeling genuine regret for her misdeeds as she suffered under the rod of correction. Bertha Mae let me cry it out, on camera, as she mixed herself some lemonade in my kitchen. By the time she returned and switched off the video recorder I was close to being composed. "If I take out your gag, will you be a good little girl and mind your betters and treat me with courtesy and respect?" I nodded, knowing full well that I was in no position to do otherwise. After several minutes of drooling and trying to get the awful taste of the gag out of my mouth, I explained to her what had happened. I gave her my boyfriend's number, and she promised to call him -- from her car. She then left me, ungagged but still bound, with the videotape in her hand. As she went out the door, she said over her shoulder, "I'll see you in a couple of days...for your second lesson." ****************************** She did phone my boyfriend, and he rocketed over, just in time to save the day. Actually, he hadn't saved the day, or even my bottom, but I didn't say that. In fact, I was so grateful to be let up that I hugged him and promised him the best make-up sex ever. I was soon over his knee, not for punishment, but for a soothing application of cold cream. The tenderness of my bottom and my sincere desire to please him (and others) by being a "good girl" led to a very interesting weekend. However that's another story.... THE END Edited by C. Lakewood
