The Best Gift

The new gift shop in the high road has a successful way of attracting customers. When shopping there, if you purchased anything, you could ask the manager, a rather attractive very fit woman of twenty-eight, Miss Lucas, to give you three slaps around the face. Lots of people, both women and men, now chose that shop because of that service.

In addition, if you were just browsing, but didn't actually purchase anything, then, for just £2 per slap, you could get Miss Lucas to slap you around the face as many times as you paid for.

Alexis went into the shop, and didn't even bother to look around for something to buy, fully intending to ask for ten slaps around her face. Alexis is twenty-four, has this strong desire to be submissive, and spanked by a dominant woman, but ha never come across a girlfriend who would dominate her in that way.

Alexis had to wait as three shoppers, two women and one man, formed a queue and asked for ten slaps each around the face. Lots of customers stood and watched, smiling and giggling, really enjoying the spectacle, but it is clear that each one bought something afterwards.

As soon as Miss Lucas was free, Alexis made a point of going up to her, and saying, "Hullo, Miss Lucas. My name is Alexis, and I would love you to please slap me around the face ten times."

Alexis thought she had spoken quietly, but realised several shoppers were now looking at her, and looked as though they were going to stay and watch.

Miss Lucas asked, "I can do that, Alexis. Do you have any other particular requirements?"

Alexis immediately replied, "I would really love it if you clasped hold of my ear and dragged me to wherever you are going to slap my face."

Miss Lucas smiled and said, "No problem with that, for £2 more."

As soon as Alexis handed over the £22, Miss Lucas squeezed Alexis's ear between her thumb and forefinger, and quite roughly led her towards the back of the shop. Miss Lucas stayed in the shop itself, because she knew that other shoppers found it fascinating, and even stayed longer in the shop hoping that someone else would have their face slapped, quite often buying something they wouldn't normally have bought. The shoppers who heard Alexis's request followed behind, enjoying how Alexis was gasping with the pain as she was led around by her ear.

When Miss Lucas released Alexis's ear, she placed her palm on Alexis's face, and then proceeded to slap her around the face, time and again, really hard.

Alexis found the submission electrifying, and knew even then that her knickers were getting damp. The face slapping added to that sensation of submission, more so when she realised that her vision is blurred, although she was a little upset that she didn't actually cry. Afterwards, whilst rubbing her stinging face, Alexis said to Miss Lucas, "Thank you for slapping my face."

As Alexis is leaving the shop, she saw a sign on the wall behind the tills that really did intrigue her. It said, 'Thieves will either be reported to the police, or can pay a £200 fine and be subject to whatever punishment the manager decides, including spanking and the cane.' Alexis felt her knickers getting even more damp as she read that.

What Alexis didn't know, is that Miss Lucas used to be a dominatrix, advertising her services in the local press, several people saw the advert, and went to see her to be spanked, caned, or thrashed in some other way. £200 is the standard charge.

That night, Alexis couldn't get out of her mind how she could experience her fantasy of being spanked by a woman just like Miss Lucas. She wasn't happy that she would have to be caught stealing, but by early the next morning she knew that she is up for it. She got dressed in a tight low-cut vest-top, bra, a very short skirt, and, as it is a warm summer day, she could walk outside with bare legs. This is how she has so often imagined herself dressed when about to be spanked.

By mid-morning, Alexis got back to the shop and watched as Miss Lucas slapped the faces of two customers. Alexis then caught the eye of Miss Lucas, who gave her what Alexis thought was a knowing smile. As Alexis was looking submissively at her, Miss Lucas went up to Alexis and asked, "Have you come to have your face slapped again, or are you going to try and steal something? If it's the latter, we could just take that as done and caught, so long as you have the £200 ready to pay me."

Alexis ddn’t think that she had been that obvious, but now that Miss Lucas had spoken to her, she immediately replied, "I was going to try to steal something, then make sure I got caught, and I do have the £200." Alexis then held her breath, wondering what Miss Lucas would say. In fact, in just those few moments, Alexis loved the feeling of being submissive, not knowing what Miss Lucas would say, whether she would ridicule her, humiliate her, or tell her she is going to thrash her.

Miss Lucas replied, "You do realise that it is my choice what punishment I give you. I will be judge and jury."

Alexis is almost speechless, but just managed to say, "Okay, Miss."

Miss Lucas did come across many clients who were nervous when they first came to see her, and she could see that Alexis is exactly like that. So, knowing that she had to stay in control, she asked, "Cash or card?"

Alexis immediately replied, "Cash," opened her handbag, and immediately took out a bundle of notes.

Miss Lucas took the bundle of notes, reckoning that Alexis would certainly have counted out the money correctly, and, remembering last time, just yesterday, Miss Lucas grabbed hold of Alexis's earlobe between her thumb and forefinger, and ordered, "Come with me."

As Alexis had no choice but to follow Miss Lucas, given how she was holding her earlobe so firmly, Miss Lucas took her towards the back of the shop. As Alexis was gasping with the pain, she did see a couple of the shop assistants and also a couple of shoppers, all of whom were smiling, presumably knowing exactly what is about to happen.

As Alexis is dragged along by her ear, she certainly wasn't going to run out of the shop, and so didn't struggle to release her ear as Miss Lucas took her out the back of the shop, then up two flights of stairs, and into what looked like a living room.

Once they were upstairs, and closed the door, Miss Lucas released Alexis's ear and explained, "This is the flat above the shop. I don't live here, but I do use it for punishing thieves that I have caught."

Alexis is still tense, but felt comfortable in the way that Miss Lucas is dealing with her. Alexis felt submissive and loved the feeling.

Miss Lucas said, "As stated on the notice, the choice of punishment is down to me. The first thing you will do is get undressed. Do it now."

Alexis still felt comfortable and submissive, so immediately pulled her vest top over her head, folded it, and put it on a chair. She put her arms behind her back, unclipped her bra, slid it down her arms, caught it, and put that with her vest top. She undid her skirt, pushed it down towards the floor, catching her knickers on the way, stepped out of both items of clothing, scooped them up, and put them with her other clothes. She stood there, naked, biting her lip, feeling tense, and anxious, but wanted it to happen.

Once Alexis is undressed, she saw Miss Lucas look up and down her naked body. Alexis felt that Miss Lucas is in total control of her by doing that.

Miss Lucas then asked, "Whilst the final decision is mine, I am interested to know what punishment you would like?"

Alexis knew immediately what she wanted, and replied, "Definitely going across your lap for a bare bottom spanking, actually a very hard one. I would like you to use a wooden-backed hairbrush or similar, as well. Then, I would like to be caned. I always pictured myself getting twelve strokes of the cane, on my bare bottom."

Miss Lucas nodded as she heard the requests, and asked, "Have you ever been spanked?"

Alexis replied, "No, never. I've just wanted it to always happen. I had a teacher, Miss Mason, who kept telling anyone who was misbehaving in class to stand up and bend over, so that she could smack their bottom. No one ever agreed to it, but I think I got my longing to be spanked from that."

Miss Lucas then asked, "What about the cane?"

Alexis replied, "No, not caned either. However, I did come really close when I thought that Miss Mason had given me two detentions. That would have meant four strokes of the cane. She had given me the second detention two days before detention was due to be held, and I kept thinking all that time that I was going to get the cane for the first time ever. It frightened me, but I kept thinking about it, knowing it would hurt, but I still wanted it to happen. However, Miss Mason hadn't given me the detentions, so I never got caned. Again, I think it was that which set me off wanting to be caned. Mind you, whenever I have thought about being spanked and caned, it was by Miss Mason."

Miss Lucas smiled and said, "It's not so uncommon that you think you are going to be spanked or caned, but aren't, and the fantasy grows from there. Still, now you are here, I will make sure you live out both those fantasies."

Miss Lucas then pointed to a table which Alexis saw had leather cuffs that would secure her ankles, and two other leather cuffs that would secure her wrists. Miss Lucas asked Alexis, "Do you want to be secured in place when I cane you?"

Alexis knew that she felt tense, but being secured in place is also part of her fantasy, so she replied, "Yes, please."

Miss Lucas didn't say whether she would give Alexis the punishment she actually asked for, and Alexis thought the reason for that is that Miss Lucas said she is judge and jury regarding the punishment. So, Alexis didn't ask about that but watched as Miss Lucas went to a drawer, opened it, took out a wooden-backed hairbrush which she showed to Alexis, then went and sat on a high-backed chair, and put the hairbrush on the floor next to her.

Once seated, Miss Lucas then instructed, "Now you are naked, get across my lap."

As tense as Alexis still is, she immediately stood by Miss Lucas's side, and then bent down across her lap. The view of the floor inches from her face, and Miss Lucas's upside down legs also inches from her face, were the views that she had always imagined. She saw her own legs dangling under the far side of the chair, and loved that sight as well. Then, when she looked at the floor again, and saw the hairbrush clearly within easy reach. she knew that she quite often fantasied about being the one who would pick up the hairbrush and give it to Miss Mason, now, Miss Lucas.

Miss Lucas was very experienced at giving a spanking, given her professional history as a dominatrix, and so, when she started spanking Alexis's bare bottom, to build up, not too slowly, she started off with lighter spanks, then made them harder, and then made them much harder and persistent. By the time she got to the much harder spanks, she was spanking the same bottom cheek time and again and then the other bottom cheek time and again, but could tell by the way that Alexis was staying across her lap, albeit gasping louder and louder, that she did want to be spanked really hard.

Alexis is surprised at how easy it was to cope with the initial spanks that landed, but it didn't take her very long to start to struggle, so worked out that those early spanks were just to get her into the right frame of mind. They did, because as her bottom increasingly stung, Alexis told herself that she must make sure that she stayed across Miss Lucas's lap, so that she could get the long and hard spanking that she wanted to experience.

Miss Lucas happily turned Alexis's bottom darker and darker shades of red, because, at the end of the day, she actually enjoyed giving a spanking to someone who wanted to be spanked really hard. After all, she is a dominatrix, and certainly enjoyed being one.

After what was a long spanking, and certainly a hard one, so far as Alexis was concerned, Miss Lucas then gave the sternly said instruction, "Hand me the hairbrush."

Alexis picked up the hairbrush, squirmed around, and handed it to Miss Lucas, before turning back and looking at the floor. As she did, Alexis is thinking about how she found it hard enough to cope with being spanked by Miss Lucas's hand, so how is she going to cope with being spanked with the hairbrush? However, she knew she wanted to find out, and hoped that she would cope well enough, even if she did start to cry.

Miss Lucas knew that Alexis wanted to be spanked, and she wouldn't mind being reduced to tears. That is the intent, anyway, and Miss Lucas set about that by spanking alternate bottom cheeks with the hairbrush, but without any gap to speak of between each spank. She knew that the pain would intensify very quickly, as evidenced by the way that Alexis is now yelping after almost every spank. However, given how Alexis stayed across her lap, Miss Lucas knew that it was something that they were both enjoying, or, rather, she is probably enjoying more than Alexis who was clearly struggling to cope, and was now crying.

Even as she knew tears were dribbling down her face, Alexis still forced herself to stay where she was, taking spank after spank, and the pain is certainly more than she imagined it would be. On the other hand, as much as the pain is so awful, she continued to tell herself that pain, and the humiliation of submission, is what she wanted to experience.

When Miss Lucas felt that she had spanked Alexis long enough with the hairbrush, she then instructed. "Okay, Alexis, you can get up now. Don't forget, I still have the cane to give you."

Alexis hadn't forgotten about the cane, and still wanted to experience it. She even wanted to experience twelve strokes, as she is an adult and that would be better, and more painful, than the proverbial six-of-the-best. She knew that because of the spanking, particularly with the quick and hard persistent spanks with the hairbrush, she did struggle to push herself up from Miss Lucas's lap to stand up. Once standing, Alexis forced herself not to rub her stinging bottom cheeks, even though she wanted to, but Miss Lucas hadn't told her she could rub her bottom, and being obedient is something that Alexis wanted to do.

Once Alexis was standing, Miss Lucas instructed, "Go and bend over the caning table. I will secure your wrists and ankles in place."

As much as her bottom is still stinging, Alexis is so up for getting those twelve strokes of the cane, so she went to the caning table, bent down, and placed her wrists close to the leather cuffs. She got even more excited as Miss Lucas secured first each wrist, and then each ankle, and, once secured in place, Alexis could tell that she couldn't avoid any of the cane strokes.

Miss Lucas was confident that Alexis was handling the punishment well. So, she thought she would test Alexis, and said, "I know you asked for twelve strokes. However, as you are secured in place, I think you will enjoy much more if I give you twenty-four strokes."

Alexis gasped, and said in a very worried tone of voice, "I don't think I'll be able to cope with twenty-four strokes, Miss Lucas."

Miss Lucas replied in a forced sarcastic stern tone of voice, "I think you will cope really well. Now that you are secured in place and can't get up, I'll be doing all the hard work, and all you have to do is take every single stroke of the cane. Anyway, don't argue, or it will become thirty-six strokes."

That threat shut Alexis up immediately. She told herself that she only asked for twelve strokes because she is now an adult and therefore should be able to take more than six strokes. She didn’t expect to be given twenty-four strokes, and definitely didn't want to see what thirty-six strokes would be like. She was therefore in a real quandary. If she argued, then the threat was there that she would get thirty-six strokes. Even if she did argue, she couldn't get up from the caning table because she was secured in place. Therefore, she quickly came to the conclusion that she had no choice. Twenty-four strokes of the cane it would have to be. Alexis even told herself that Miss Lucas had correctly put her in her place as the needing to be an obedient submissive.

Miss Lucas waited a few moments to see whether there would be any further arguing by Alexis. If there was, she was going to revert to just twelve strokes of the cane. After all, whilst she was the dominatrix, Alexis is a paying customer, and also, as a dominatrix, although Miss Lucas knew that she should try to push Alexis to her limits, the overriding decision would be made by Alexis. However, she saw that Alexis was now looking at the table, and so waiting for the cane. It told Miss Lucas that Alexis was accepting the tariff of twenty-four strokes, and so she is going to set about giving them, feeling pleased that she had pressed Alexis.

Miss Lucas knew that giving the cane is different to giving a spanking. With the cane, she shouldn't go lightly to begin with and then make the strokes harder. Instead, she should make even the first stroke a hard one. That is what she did, got the expected gasp from Alexis, and saw how she pulled at the wrist cuffs. That was fully expected, and it was also expected Alexis would do the same, as she did, after the second stroke and then the third stroke. As the fourth landed, so Alexis let out something more like a yelp than a gasp, a louder yelp with the fifth stroke and an even louder yelp with the sixth stroke.

Miss Lucas knew by the way that Alexis gave a quieter yelp after the seventh stroke and a similarly quieter yelp after the eighth stroke, and no longer pulled at the wrist cuffs, that she is coping with the cane, and continued to cope with the ninth stroke, although by the tenth stroke Alexis was crying again, also with the eleventh stroke and continuing to cry with the twelfth stroke.

Whilst Alexis was crying, and lost count of the number of strokes she had already been given, she felt that she is actually coping better than she expected to. Each stroke is extremely painful, but then she knew that that was going to be the case. So, as the strokes continued, she reckoned that she must have surpassed twelve strokes, and was therefore so pleased that Miss Lucas had pressed her and increased the tariff. In fact, Alexis thought that Miss Lucas should push her to her limits, and if that is the case, then Miss Lucas was certainly doing that.

As Miss Lucas looked at the increasing number of cane welts that were developing across Alexis's bottom, she didn't waiver in terms of the strength of each stroke, and is confident that Alexis is coping sufficiently well. As Miss Lucas got to the twentieth stroke, she wondered what would happen if she asked Alexis whether she wanted a further twelve strokes, the thirty-six she had threatened her with. However, she knew that what would work better, was for Alexis to come back in the future, and ask for thirty-six strokes. After all, Miss Lucas is doing this for profit, and she knows that those who are naturally submissive saw it as an addiction, although to be fair, a good one, because they get so turned on by the pain.

Miss Lucas made sure that the last four strokes that she gave Alexis were definitely harder than the previous twenty strokes. She even gave them in very quick succession, and saw Alexis pull at the wrist cuffs again. That was expected, because the pain was far worse than leaving even a short gap between strokes.

When the caning is over, Miss Lucas was confident that Alexis would relish the pain, given how well she had taken it. So, as she left Alexis secured to the caning bench, and crying, Miss Lucas relished the sight of those twenty-four raised welts on Alexis's bottom, not all parallel as some were criss crossed, and she knew that Alexis would find it very difficult to sit down on anything other than a thick cushion. Anyway, that is part of being submissive, not just the pain of the punishment itself, but the lasting memory caused by the intense stinging that lasted long after the punishment is over.

Once Miss Lucas saw that Alexis had calmed down, she said, "Okay, Alexis, I will now release your ankle and wrist cuffs." She said it, because she didn't want Alexis to kick out at her, even involuntarily, and so the warning would prevent that.

Moments later, and Alexis felt first the ankle cuffs and then the wrist cuffs being released. As much as her bottom stung so much, she is thinking how great it is that she had got through a far more painful punishment than she had expected when she first came into the shop. However, she is delighted that Miss Lucas had pushed to take those greater number of strokes, and she is already wondering what thirty-six strokes would feel like.

What Alexis also realised, is that she was suddenly feeling so aroused, and could feel her sex juice dribbling down her thighs. It is just the sensation that she had hoped for.

As Alexis had those feelings, Miss Lucas gave the instruction, "You can get up now, Alexis. I hope that was the experience that you wanted."

Alexis is feeling far better than she had expected even a minute or two ago. She managed to push herself up quickly, is standing, looked at Miss Lucas, and said with a smile, "That was the best experience I have ever had, Miss Lucas." Alexis realised that tears were still dribbling down her face, and she tried to wipe them away. However, she also felt so good about those tears. She didn't even mind being naked still. In fact, she saw that as the submission she wanted to show Miss Lucas.

Miss Lucas knew that some of the people that came here simply cried afterwards, but Alexis is smiling as well as having tears stream down her face. That is a very good sign. So, Miss Lucas explained, "If you want to come again, Alexis, you don't need to fake making a robbery. I will give you a phone number, and an email address, and you can make arrangements. How does that sound?"

Alexis is still smiling, although also still wiping away some tears, as she replied, "That sounds fantastic. I will definitely be coming back, Miss Lucas." Then, Alexis added with a smile, "I do want to know what thirty-six strokes of the cane feels like, or, maybe even more."

Miss Lucas is smiling as she replied, "No problem there, Alexis. In fact, I look forward to it."

Alexis is still smiling as she replied, "So do I, Miss Lucas. So do I."

Alexis knew she couldn’t wait to get home and finger herself to huge orgasms. Several of them, as she pictured the thrashing she had had today, and as she looked forward to coming back, time and again.
