Special Content Alert: M/M Excerpt: From One Good Outcome, by Jenna Byrnes: She reached for her open bag and thoughtfully surveyed the contents. He gulped when she removed a flogger with a thick black handle and long plastic tendrils shooting out from the end. Turning to face him she said, "I think you're an impudent slug and if you believe this "thing"-" She leaned over to eye his dangling cock. "Has any hope of touching "me," you've got some repenting to do. Open your mouth." He did, and she inserted the handle of the flogger between his lips, gagging him. Steve's heart leaped. "The exact reaction I hoped for." His stomach tingled in anticipation. Mistress turned back to the bag and pulled out a deep purple, cushioned paddle. She held it up and examined it before looking at him again. "Do you agree I need to use this?" Steve nodded and his heart thudded. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. "Such a slut for a spanking. I should just leave, which would be ideal punishment for you." With a vigorous shake of his head, and aware the thick handle hindered his speech, he said, "Pwease." She smiled and ran a finger under his chin. "Aw, sweet. Beg me again." "Pwease," he repeated without shame. He'd do anything for a spanking, in fact, had done "much more" to achieve the sweet pleasure/pain he desperately craved. She returned to the chair and sat with legs together, her back rigid. "Position," she snapped. Steve scrambled to lie across her lap. He pressed his fingertips to the floor and straightened his legs. Spreading his knees, he touched his toes to the tile. Mistress massaged his ass with a firm hand. "Such a willing slave, so well-trained. I could make good money hiring you out." Steve groaned. Her hand "and" her words aroused him to a frenzy of excitement. She'd never hire him out, but when they were immersed in role-play, she said some strange things, and had surprised him on more than one occasion. He bucked his hips and begged for her attention. A sharp slap of her hand warmed his ass. "Hold still." He froze. The first blissful wisps of the sting settled over him.
