“You certainly administered a merciless chastisement this evening, Sergeant-Major,” she said.
“Not known for my leniency, Ma'am,” was all he answered. His eyes quickened as he saw the number on the door. The same!
“No, I don't suppose you are, are you? But then, all punishment should be merciless, should it not?”
“Completely without pity,” he agreed.
“Yes, it's all they understand.” Jacqueline Bellais' thin nostrils flared. “Still, I thought you waxed close to cruel at the end, sir.”
“Would have liked to work the buttocks more.”
I'll bet you would, thought Jacqueline Bellais, staring him straight in the eye. They understood each other perfectly. Quickly she said, “I have two more girls to whip. Four late essays handed in today. The next will be down from her Dorm rather shortly, I believe. I'm giving them nine with this cane across the naked… arse.” She pronounced the word with deliberation, her eyes again dropping to his pipe of a penis. “Naturally, it's nothing like what you administer at the barracks, but we do our best. If you would care to watch.”
He bowed his assent. With an ironic flip of her skirt that revealed the fact she had nothing on beneath, the active little French mistress swung on her high heels and led the way into her room.
When they were alone she said in a low voice, her chest heaving, “I'm using this willow. It's extremely bendy and stingy and although it doesn't bruise like yours, Sergeant-Major, they'll feel it sitting for a day or so. I am afraid I shall have to ask you to stand behind those curtains there-you can see through them from the other side quite well-because it would not be consistent with modesty to have a man in my rooms.”
There was a pause and he laughed. “Least of all, one in such a manly state as me, eh?”
“I'm afraid that's all too evident, Sergeant-Major.”
“That last one, she squeezed her sitters so…”
“They do, don't they? Furthermore,” went on the mistress, feeling herself more and more in charge of the situation, “we believe in total fairness here, and I have been taking them across this table. However, if you would prefer another position… I mean, I could get her to bend over here with her back to you, entirely double, that is, and you'd get a full view of the twin surfaces, and naturally the… the…” Jacqueline Bellais' eyes roved the ceiling.
“The cunt between.”
“As you say, sir, the cunt between. But of course you'd miss the expression of the face.”
“It won't be necessary. As you had 'em, Ma'am.”
“The next girl in has a lovely heart-shaped face and you'll see that this table is fitted with head-and-hands stocks. Their expressions get quite comical by the end and usually they try to turn their faces round to the left. So if you watch from those curtains there, Sergeant-Major,” and the mistress indicated the left side of the room to the table, “you'll have an admirable profile of the rump as well.” To say nothing, Jacqueline Bellais well knew, of her own, under the lifting skirt, as she swung.
But there came a knock at the door. At a nod the Sergeant-Major secreted himself soundlessly behind the curtains, opaque from the room side, transparent from the other.
The girl who entered was in gold. She was a big upright healthy Slavic specimen with a mane of fair hair and if her face was a heart, it was a large one. Thick velvety brows shaded anxious pale blue eyes, already dewed with tears, and she was biting her pretty small pale lips with fear. Her whole body was on a sumptuous scale and quivering all over.
Jacqueline Bellais stood with her back to the roaring grate and smiled at these symptoms.
“Come, Irina, you're not going to the gallows. I'm not going to kill you exactly. You've been beaten before, I believe. What are you here for?”
“Late theme. In your grammar class, Miss.”
“To be flogged across the buttocks, yes. Let's see if I can't make those big fat hams of yours somewhat more prompt. Have you anything to say, at all?”
“No, Mademoiselle Bellais.”
“I'm going to give you nine. With all that avoirdupois you'll scarcely feel it, will you, Irina? Come, stop that cowardly crying instantly. Stop it, I say.”
Advancing, the trim French mistress unleashed two swinging slaps that sent the big girl staggering. She held her head, sobbed once, received another blow that rang her head like a bell.
“Put your hands by your sides. So. Now then. Off with your knickers and up with your skirt, tuck it right into your chain now.” When this was done, the mistress surveyed her prey. A good thick blondish fur covered the cunt in front, which was tucked into the top of the thighs, surprisingly wide for the girth of calf. The cheeks of the rump were young and full, tender-looking with a good overhand, yet well divided centrally. The cane tapped a spot on the floor. “Stand here. Back to those curtains.”
Unseen by her victim, she gave a sly wink, to the hidden watcher and slowly palped and joggled the thick globes in her hands before him. The pair was solid and springy and with an overhang like this the sulcal fold would be doubly tender. Jacqueline Bellais intended to work there. The cheeks were unmarked.
“What's wrong, Irina?” she said, smiling. “You're quivering all over like a pony.”
“Please, Fraulein.”
“What is it?”
“It's just… that I have a Matron's waiting for me when I get back to the Dorm. Last thing tonight.”
“What's that got to do with it?”
“It's b-bound to be six, and nine now…”
“Will make fifteen,” said the expert mistress cheerfully. “Keep you warm in bed. No, my dear, in five years' time you'll be thanking us for this training from the bottom of your… heart. For the present concentrate on the problem of punctuality. For about three minutes you're going to feel some lively sensations in your derriere.” And she gave it a playful pat. “Now bend over quite double. Tight. Feet slightly apart.”
If that doesn't jack him erect, she thought with a smile as she went to a sideboard for the bottle, nothing will.
She returned with a small brush and medical bottle. The anal crater was no more than a dimple in the deep divide and Jacqueline Bellais daubed it with the caustic unguent quickly. The girl hissed as the burning liquid touched her and the mistress rapidly popped wide the sphincter with finger and thumb and scrubbed rapidly inside with the brush. The girl rose with a wretched expression; the treatment made her want to spread and dilate herself, it was awful.
Jacqueline Bellais put the bottle and brush back and took up her stick, which shivered with menace. She stood in front of the punishment table, smiling. The girl was simply trembling all over, her lips were even shaking! The mistress sucked in her breath. These moments were divine, only matched by the antics afterwards.
“Nine lashes,” she said. “Well, what are you waiting for? Is anything wrong?”
The girl paused, gave the mistress a look of dumb imploring and then stepped up to the punishment table, over which she bent at right angles.
On the far side of this were the stocks and the girl duly put her neck and wrists, one either side, in the slots provided; the mistress clicked down the bolt. Furthermore, she had stepped just inside a wooden rail, connecting the two legs of the table and running behind her ankles.
Jacqueline Bellais then affixed in place another parallel rail just at or over her knees, forcing her to brace back her legs well and thrust out her rump. This was now broadly curved over the edge of the table and the mistress stepped back to survey it, knowing the hidden watcher at the side was losing no time in doing so, either.
At the base of each heavy hemisphere the indentation of the sulcal fold showed like a cuticle. She resolved to hit there… hard.
