Bridewell, My Penance,My Pain. Chapter 44

The governor sends a guard ahead, I am sure to make sure that his room is unoccupied when we get there. No need for one of his concubines to be there and delay his plan for me. He leans toward me and whispers “ Why so glum Pennyworth? I’ll keep my part of the bargain. Your man Richard is going to survive and soon be released. Now you just have to honor your part of the bargain. It’s time to lose that “ holier than thou” attitude and spread those pretty little legs. I know that you have wanted me as much as I’ve wanted you, Pennyworth. Just relax and enjoy the attention of a real man.” I respond “Governor Abbott you give yourself airs, I will honor the bargain only because I was blackmailed, but expect no passion on my part.”

Governor Abbott looks at me with a sparkle in his eye, “ Sometimes it’s up to a man to get his woman in the right frame of mind to get the most out of her. I have learned many ways to pleasure a woman over the years, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. This will be very enjoyable if you allow it. It’s going to happen woman, be assured of that. You may as well enjoy it.” I glare back at him, “ I will not respond to your touch, I will not return your kiss, I will not look into your eyes, and I will not meet your thrusts. You can take my body but you will never take my mind.”

“As I thought Pennyworth. I have watched you suffer the lash, the pillory, and the bastinado. I’ve seen you carry heavy stones, pound hemp for hours and push the capstan until you could push no more. Never begging, the pain flushing your skin, making your juices flow. I’ve always imagined that you were the type that needed to be dominated by your man, wanting to suffer first before you can find your release. Well I can oblige your wish. I have a full array of implements to meet those ends. First my chambers will echo with your screams of pain, I will bide my time before I take you. Then the chambers will echo with the screams of of our passionate releases.”

“ Do with me what you will.” I retort. “ The only passion you will see is the hate in my eyes, the loathing in my soul.” The guard came out of the governors room as we were heading down the hallway leading to his bed chambers. The guard states“ Everything is as you ordered sir” the governor nods and pushes me through the doorway. I am surprised at what catches my eye as I enter the room. It is some type of wooden box with four small round holes on its top. The governor wastes no time as he sits on his bed and orders me to disrobe. My fingers tremble as I begin to unbutton my prison issue dress. Soon I am naked before him as I have been many times before during my punishment. This time it bothers me, I am sure he can see the blush flow over my body. “ Pennyworth, truly the body of a goddess. Bridewell has not diminished your charms. Your breasts are still pert like a young woman, that spot between your legs so ripe and ready to be plucked, your bottom still firm and round. How I am going to enjoy our trieste.

I covered my breasts with my right arm, while my left hand covered that sacred spot between my legs. Governor Abbott called in the guard always stationed outside his bedchamber as he slid a board on the strange box, “Adams, help me secure this woman in the foot stocks.” I was grabbed from behind and moved forward until my legs were fitted into two half circles. Suddenly the governor slid the board back into place and my legs were secured near the ankles as the half circles closed. My legs were spread and locked in place, soon a hand on my back bent my body forward. Governor Abbott slid a board away and then back again as he locked my hands within the box. I stood naked and severely bent at the waist, my wrists and ankles firmly secured in the circlets of the wooden box. Once again I blushed due to my position, my bottom and the orifice between my legs uncovered and open for all to see. I heard the governor send the man away. Then he speaks to me,
“ Very appealing Pennyworth, you tease me so, opening yourself so, allowing me such access to your treasures.”

I was beginning to cramp already, my back and thigh muscles beginning to spasm in this bent over position. A grimace crossed my face as the pain started to become unbearable. “ Well my dear, I can see a little emotion starting to show thru on that stoic face of yours. Maybe I can up the ante and help you show some real emotion.” I see him pick up a small wooden paddle and move behind me. I hear the loud smack just before I feel the sting. Another blow followed quickly and the burning sting of the paddle radiated thru my bottom. Two more strokes and I could hear myself squealing in pain. A few more strokes had my body is bobbing and weaving and I begin to scream as my bottom felt like I was being attacked by a hive of bees. The burning pain courses through my body as blow after blow attacks my bottom cheeks. My voice becomes hoarse as I screamed with all my might, the blows landing with all the force he can muster.
FB713BEF-B282-479C-AEC6-E328F92701E4.jpeg
By the time the blows finally stopped landing my whole body was on fire, my eyes filled with tears so I could not see, my body shuddered and I sobbed uncontrollably. The governor spoke his first words since he started the onslaught of blows “ Well Pennyworth, now your showing some emotion” he said as I felt his finger enter my vagina, “ My god woman you are wet down there. What a tricky little whore you are, hiding it all this time.” I didn’t speak, still engulfed by the pain of my spanking but what did it matter anyway. Did it matter if he thought I was a whore or not? He is going to rape me anyway. I agreed to this in payment for saving Richard, so in essence I “have” whored myself.

I heard the the governors drawers hit the floor and I braced myself for his assault. He spoke once again “ Have you ever been buggered Pennyworth?
I find that it really gets the attention of my women.” I shuddered as I felt his fingers spread my bottom cheeks and I felt him move forward toward my backside. I closed my eyes and my body stiffened in anticipation of his assault.
Suddenly I hear an unfamiliar voice. “ Governor , your needed now in the prisoner work area.” The governor obviously dismayed by the intrusion yelled at the guard “ Can’t you see I’m busy man. Send one of the senior guards.” The guard answered quickly, “ It’s the inspector sir. The prison inspector demands your immediate audience.” Governor Abbott cursed and I could hear him pull up his britches. “ Well Pennyworth you got a reprieve for now. Just when I had you primed and ready. But don’t you fret. If we need to, we can start all over when I get back. Don’t you move, I’ll be back for you as soon as I can.”

I had forgot about the cramping pain when I was about to be assaulted but with each passing minute standing bent in these stocks my body begins to betray me once again. I moan as I try to shift my position just the small amount that the wooden box would allow, relieving the ache in one part of my body, only to cause another part to ache and cramp. It reminded me of the all consuming pain that I felt the times I had been pilloried on the platform in the prison courtyard. This time my stay in the stocks is short lived. Two guards come into the room and remove me from the device and tell me to dress in clothes they provided. I hurriedly dress while the two men watch me. As they escorted me out of the room I ask where I was going. “Never mind” says one of the guards, “ the governor just said to tell you that you and he will meet again soon to finish your agreed upon deal.” With that they lead me out of the prison and toward a private carriage. My heart sinks once again, inside the carriage I am greeted by the smiles of my new master Miles Cowerd and his his partner Lydia.

Livia

Collin tended to Livia’s many wounds as the small boat slowly made its way toward the Destiny. This woman vexed him so. He loved her as he had back in London but he knew that trust was something very elusive when it comes to this exquisite blonde beauty. Somehow she looked so tiny and helpless in her present state, not the strong minded, scheming woman that he had know for not that long of a time. She was incorrigible, willful, deceitful, and downright stubborn but somehow, even after this escape attempt that threatened his position on the Destiny, she still had his heart.

The captain stood on deck, his legs spread and arms folded over his chest. As Collin walked past him, the captain said “ Next time she gets keel-hauled, mr Lawson. “ If you can’t control her I will, and you’ll find your position gone. Sent back to seaman manning the masts and sails. Don’t make me have to do that, son.” Collin carried Livia’s half conscious body wrapped in a coarse blanket to his quarters.he gently laid her upon his bed and then sent one of the cabin boys to fetch the ships doctor. It didn’t take long for the old curmudgeon of a doctor to arrive. Collin watched intently as the doctor physically checked each of her wounds, his hands touching and caressing to an excess. The first mate wanted to pummel the old pervert but thought better of it, realizing he was already on thin ice with the Captain.

The surgeon rubbed some type of salve on the wounds on Livia’s body paying special attention to those on her breasts and bottom. He wrapped the worst wounds with bandages and said that he would send a draught for her to drink to help with the pain and help her sleep. As The old man left , he said that he would return in two days to recheck the wounds. The first mate was glad to see the surgeon leave. He looked at Livia bandaged and in obvious pain as he could hear her moaning weakly. Collin decided he would wait until the draught arrived from the doctor and once she slept, he would return to his duties.

Livia remembered Collin making her drink the awful tasting liquid and soon after the pain subsided a little, thankfully sleep took over for a while. But her sleep was fitful and she awoke in pain several times. She had some dreams also, she thought she was back at Bridewell being pulled naked behind the ox cart in front of the platform filled with her aristocratic peers. She dreamed of the lash crashing into her naked back. She could hear herself screaming, she could see her blood flowing down her back and legs. She could see her old rich friends laughing at her and gesturing to one another in obvious enjoyment of the spectacle they were observing. She saw herself look to her former husband Miles Cowerd, looking for help, but all she saw was a look of satisfaction and contempt for her. The pain would wake her in the middle of the dream but soon the fitful sleep would return and with it the vivid dreams.
2BC0D3C5-D1D1-4CAA-BB41-D7E06F00273A.jpeg
It took over a week before Livia was able to be up and about. She was thankful for that and the fact that the old fart of a doctor did not have to “tend” to her wounds anymore. She wouldn’t miss his hands all over her body. She was pretty sure the old guy was smitten with her and missed his chance to fondle her, after all she offered no resistance to his roaming fingers. Who knows, she might need his help to get out of this predicament. Collin wasn’t taking any chances with her now. He was keeping a sailer at the door of his cabin to make sure Livia didn’t slip away again. The first mate didn’t take the Captains threat idly. Livia had made a fool of him once. It wasn’t going to happen again.

Collin had been trying to convince Livia that the best course of action would be to deliver Livia to the Turbot Street whorehouse in Brisbane, the capital of Morton Colony, Australia. It would be easier if she was delivered to the sentenced address and then Collin would not be suspected in her escape as he would be, should she try again to escape while still under the authority of the ship’s captain. The ship had set sail and there were no more stops before the ship docked in Brisbane.

The prisoners were told to get all of their belongings together the morning of the day that the Destiny was scheduled to dock on the outskirts of Brisbane. Livia did as instructed and wrapped what little belongings she had in a blanket and proceeded to take her prescribed place in line with the rest of the prisoners. As soon as the ship docked and lines secured the prisoners were led in groups of four down the gangplank and onto the wooden dock. Members of the local constabulary awaited the prisoners. After identifying the prisoners the four were rushed into a small building where they were made to disrobe, their prison dresses collected, they were soaped down with lye by women with long handled brushes, then each convict was able to dip into a warm tub of water. Livia gratefully appreciated the warm water, the first she had felt for several months. They were hurried out the back door of the building,naked and still wet, as other prisoners were rushed in the front door.

Outside the building Livia tried to cover her nakedness as they were handed undergarments and dresses by several of the men surrounding them. They all had to dress in full view of the men and had to listen to the catcalls as the men got a glimpse of breasts, bottoms, and the hairy juncture of their long legs. Livia hurried to dress and was the first to finish. Immediately a large man moved forward and grabbed her arm. “ Missy, you come with me. Mr Cowerd been waiting for you to arrive for some time. Best we don’t make him wait.” Livia was confused, how could Miles be here? Did he take a fast schooner to get here before I did? I believe he still must care for me. Was everything just a ruse?

The whorehouse on Turbot Street was a fine looking building, thought Livia as they arrived at the destination. It looked more like a rich mans mansion. Livia actually hurried up the stone walkway, anxious to gain entrance to the building and reunite with Miles. She was brought to a room that looked like a library, with books all over. In walked a man dressed elegantly. It was Miles she thought but there was something different. This man who looked like Miles had a scar on his chin, an old scar. The man seeing the surprise on her face spoke for the first “ Livia, welcome, I’ve heard so much about you. Let me introduce myself, my name is Charles Cowerd, the twin brother of your former husband.” Livia was shocked and disappointed, thinking she was going to be saved by Miles.

Charles spoke again “ Livia please remove your clothing. I’d like to see what you have to offer our customers?” Livia hesitated which caused Charles to step forward and slap her hard across her face. “ There is no hesitation here woman, any disobedience will be dealt with immediately and harshly. Livia’s hands flew to her collar and she began to quickly disrobe. Defiantly she stood naked before him. “Ah very nice, a pretty face and a fine body” he said. “ We will charge top dollar for you, my dear” Livia spat back “ I am no ones whore. I choose who I lay with and who I don’t!” Charles laughed “ Oh, my dear. You are confused about our clientele. We cater to a small niche of the very rich in Brisbane. Those who pay for you may want to bed you but that is not their primary reason for buying time with you. Our clients have special interests, ones that only we can supply them. Our clients primary interest is to cause pain. The screams of their victims are what excites them. Whips, canes, pliers, chains and hot irons are they’re paint brushes and you will be their canvas. They may choose to shag you but only after they tire of listening to you scream. By that time, my dear, I am sure that you will be begging them to take you.
( to be continued)
 
Wow, what an incredible chapter!

First my chambers will echo with your screams of pain, I will bide my time before I take you. Then the chambers will echo with the screams of of our passionate releases.”
Pennyworth’s heart skips a beat - her months of servitude and pain at Brideswell have begun opening her up to accept a very dark truth…
Maybe I can up the ante and help you show some real emotion.” I see him pick up a small wooden paddle
And nearly swoon at the effect this sight has upon my wet pussy
Well Pennyworth, now your showing some emotion” he said as I felt his finger enter my vagina, “ My god woman you are wet down there. What a tricky little whore you are, hiding it all this time.” I didn’t speak, still engulfed by the pain
She’s soaking in the waves of her unspoken, latent lust, threatening to overwhelm her and throwing her to the deepest subspace
don’t you fret. If we need to, we can start all over when I get back.
Like a flash, from a hidden part of her soul, a voice, “yes, Master, but please don’t be so gentle like before…?”

No addresses on Turbot street. The type of clientele that frequent this street, already know where they are going. They are truly refined and well practiced with insatiable needs and extraordinary technique.
 
Elsbeth said “ This is my third visit to Bridewell and I only got 18 with the pizzle. I guess a little whoring is better than what you did ha little princess? “ I wrapped my chained hands around my knees and hung my head. “ My husband got killed and I couldn’t pay off his debts” I sobbed. “ We weren’t even married a year and I didn’t even know he owed people money.” Elsbeth looked at me sternly “Quit that cryin girly. Nobody cares a whit about ya here. Crybabies gets it worst than the rest. Take what’s you got coming to ya, and don’t whine about it. Ain’t nobody innocent in here. Mind your business and no sassing or crying and you’ll be the better for it.”

In a matter of minutes all the women in the prison cart spoke out. The pretty blond who looked about 18 years old , who sat across from me spoke first “ I’m Ashley and got pinched stealing a loaf of bread. I been here before when I was a little one with my mother. They was mean to us kids then but I never got birched. Now I got 12 with the birch on my bare arse for my welcome.”Kelce, a tall and thin curly dark haired girl about my age, was found guilty of prostitution. She was to get 18 with the strap over her drawers. Lastly there was Nita found guilty trying to poison her lover for shagging her best friend. “ It’s my second time in here. “ The bastard magistrate gave me 12 with the cat on my bare back. The wanker. “

Just then I heard a loud smack and the red headed girl,bent over a hurdle on the platform, squealed loudly. View attachment 1097292I could see a well muscled young man playing to the crowd, holding a long handled paddle aloft, he urged the crowd to cheer him on. He nimbly moved to the other side of the girl and with a flourish swung the paddle with both hands, smacking it across her bare arse. This time the girl lifted her head and screamed. The crowd cheered and yelled out “two.” The man once again nimbly moved to the other side and swung the paddle. I heard the splat as it hit exposed flesh. The scream was louder and longer this time. I could see her flesh on her backside was a bright red.
View attachment 1097293
I cringed as the paddle kept hitting home., the crowd gaily shouting out the number of strokes. It seemed to me like a party atmosphere for the crowd but not for the prisoners. I could feel for the girl..,.and sometime soon I would be in her place. By the final blow the girl was screaming continuously, her bottom swollen and purplish -red in color. The man who had been whalloping her, bowed and got a loud ovation from the onlookers.

There was a delay as a small cart pulled by a nag was brought into the courtyard. A dark haired slim woman was led toward the cart , fighting every step of the way. She was stripped completely by the jailers and secured by her wrists to the back of the cart. A woman who must have been the prison matron called out , “ Lynda Kross, for laziness, cheekiness, and disobedience.your farewell has been amended. Instead of the whipping post, you will whipped at the cart tail. Instead of 30 lashes, the total will be the number of strokes delivered during four trips around the courtyard. Davey do your best” . That said, I saw the same man who had just wielded the paddle, bounding down the platform steps brandishing a wicked looking cat-of-nine tails. The crowd grew strangely quiet, the brown haired girl behind the cart, slim with long legs and ample breasts tried to look defiant but I could see her lip quivering.
View attachment 1097295
“Damn them” said Elsbeth, “ I never seen the likes of this. There is always a set number of strokes. Some dandy in the crowd must have dropped some coin on the matron. That girl could have the skin flayed from her shoulders to her knees if her whipper is a bastard, and that Davey is a bastard. Ladies, Pray you don’t get him for your welcomes.”

The man called Davey moved behind the bound woman and his arm shot out even before the cart started forward. View attachment 1097300The lash spread across her shoulder blades leaving a mass of red streaks. Her head tilted back , her eyes staring at the sky. I could hear her wheeze like the breath was knocked from her. It wasn’t until the third lash that I first heard her scream. She had just made the first corner of her loop and already her back was covered with angry looking wheals. By the time she made the second corner her screams filled the courtyard. I could see some in the crowd mimicking her movements as her naked body tried so unsuccessfully to avoid the lash. As she made the third turn she was walking right toward us and I could see the pain and desperation in her eyes. The lashes kept falling as she passed us, her back a mass of wheals and blood blisters. Finally she made it back to the starting point. By then a dozen lashes had fallen and she still had three trips around the courtyard to go.

The procession stopped for a moment as Davey was handed a tankard of ale and water was forced down the throat of the unfortunate victim. It was cruel I thought to do this… I was sure that whoever paid for this wanted Davey at his best and the woman to make it thru the whole four loops and suffer all her lashes so the crowd wasn’t cheated. By the time she reached us on the second loop, she looked pitiful, sweating so much her hair was plastered to her neck and shoulders. I could see that the blood blisters were starting to break. They stopped again… She was halfway done but still had at least two dozen more lashes to go. The problem was there are 9 knotted leather strands scorching the skin with each lash.
View attachment 1097298
Halfway thru loop three she was screaming uncontrollably and blood was running down her back. Davey bowed for the crowd as they applauded his efforts. He moved lower with his strokes, concentrating on her backside and backs of her thighs. She started to try turning her body to avoid the lashes. As she passed for a third time her skin was bright red from her waist to just above her knee hollows. This time when they stopped they had to hold her up give her water as she swooned. I prayed for it to stop but the cart started moving for the final loop. She was stumbling now, barely able to keep her balance. Please, I prayed just get us inside the prison , away from this. Please!

An interesting variation on whipped at the carts tail. Never thought about a prisoner whipped at a carts tail around the inner Bridewell yard. Would be quite a spectacle, although I would rather see a single tail whip used and not a cat o nine as would still be severe, but not as harsh
 
Bridewell, My Penance, My Pain Pt 7

I am shocked by what I hear. My god, I cant believe it. This can not be happening. I feel like my world is spiraling out of control. How can I survive Bridewell with everything turned against me. Both the Matron and Miles Coward smile at me as the realization of his words sink in. “Parker, time to get “little miss high and mighty”chained to the machine.”Says the matron. “My favorite nephew shouldn’t be kept waiting.” A stiff shove in my back gets me moving “ No sense delaying this Pennyworth. Move that scrawny ass.” I lurch forward, almost falling. I try not to make eye contact with the men as I move past them but I can tell they are fixated on my bobbing breasts. I can’t see them but I can hear their comments. I flush with embarrassment as I hear the four men discussing my body...my frame, the size of my breasts, my bottom covered by my drawers, and even my legs that are bared from the knees down. It sounds like they are evaluating horse flesh at an auction, but it is my flesh they are evaluating and my flesh that they mean to punish. I feel extremely fearful as my wrists are shackled to the push bar of the capstan. The dungeon is cold and damp and I fell the goose pimples form on my exposed skin. My nipples harden in response to the cold.

“ Looks like she is all ready for us boys” I hear Miles Coward say. “I’ll get the first thirty minutes, then Raymond gets the second thirty, Johnny gets the third, and Jasper you get the last 30 minutes. Don’t hold back. She owes all of us a lot money. She should have told that useless husband of hers not to gamble away her money. Look at her , she has a strong back she can take our best. Let’s strive to give her our very best.” The matron added “ Sorry boys you will have to be satisfied with the strap tonight. I can’t take the chance of damaging her before the new governor gets here. But don’t worry the strap really smarts. You won’t draw blood but she will scream plenty. Sorry we have to keep her bottom covered but I can’t take the chance of finding out that she has a whelp in her belly when the new governor shows. So you won’t be getting randy with her tonite. That don't mean you can’t do no touching, but no poking if you know what I mean. In another month or so after I feels the governor out, maybe anything will go on the next visit. Got a table and chairs with a good view over by the wall and feel free to help yourselves to those jugs of ale.”

I turn my head to watch the men take their places at the table and fill their mugs. I don’t notice Miles Coward moving up behind me. Not until I feel his hands reach around my body to grasp my bare breasts. He squeezes them and pinches my nipples hard. “ nice titties, Pennyworth” he says .I gasp. His hands move downward on my sides until they reach my drawers. He slides his fingers under the waistband and soon has each bottom cheek in his hands. He squeezes not too gently “ Buttocks are pretty firm too.” I squirm trying to pull away from him but his weight has me pinned against the arm of the capstan.
“ Let’s check out that sweet spot between your thighs” he said as his hands move inside my drawers to the front. He uses his hands to pull me back toward his pelvis. I can feel his hardness pressing against my bottom. I fight his grip, wriggling.

View attachment 1113628
“ What a wanton you are Pennyworth. Wiggling your arse like that.” He said “But aunty says there will be none of that tonite. So you’ll have to be satisfied with this.” As he parted my nether lips with his forefinger and shoved it deep into me.” I squeal as he wiggles his finger inside me, much to the delight of the watching men who laugh aloud. I can feel the warm flush of embarrassment flow over me. “ So tight and wet and warm in there, Pennyworth. So much to look forward to on the next visit. I think she likes it boys, see how flushed her skin is and how far her nubbins are poking out.” I glance down at my breasts and cry out in embarrassment once again. My nipples are hard and erect. I am even shocked at the length of my nipples. I blurt out, “ You will never have me you bastard. I hope you rot in hell for your misdeeds.” Miles laughs aloud “I do believe that it is you that has four years of hell in front of her. So many lessons for you to learn during those four years. Shall we start with your first lesson.“ Never anger the hand that wields the strap”.

Miles Coward takes a long step to the left of my body chained to the horizontal bar and carefully measures the distance. He says “ Count out loud for me Aslin. If you forget or miscount we add ten minutes to your session. Don’t fret , that won’t be a problem, we have all night.” He reaches way back with his right arm and as he steps into a viscous lash, I hear him yell “Move.” I hear the strap snap loudly just a moment before my back explodes in pain. I grimace but no sounds come from me. The air is forced from my lungs as I lurch forward and I gasp for air. I have never felt such pain in all my life. It starts at the point of impact and radiates trough my whole body. I struggle to get the machine moving. I bend my back and dig my feet in trying to push to get it started. I can already tell that I must maintain my momentum because it is so much harder to push from a standstill than it is to keep the machine moving. I am approaching the starting point again as I slowly turn the capstan before I remember I have not counted. I cry out “one” just before I pass where he stands.

View attachment 1113631
As I pass him, I see him reach back again. I hear the whistle of the strap as it approaches my back for the second time. I feel my body tense awaiting the bite of the lash. This time the sound and the explosion of pain is almost simultaneous. The pain is much worse with this stroke. I fight back a scream, I won’t give him the pleasure of hearing me scream. I grunt “two” and keep pushing slowly, turning the machine. My back is burning, my eyes are tearing as I approach him for the third time. He has the same smile on his face now that he had the day I slapped his face. He had approached me at the party that day, innocently enough, making small talk but eventually asking me to his home to lay with him. I politely declined but when he touched me inappropriately, I turned and slapped him across the face. I remember his cronies laughing at him as I stormed from the room hoping that our paths would never cross again. Fate would not have it that way and although I did no wrong, now I am suffering for it.

This time as I pass him he says “ Faster you little bitch” and lays into me with two consecutive hard strokes. My head flies back and I scream for the first time. My back is on fire. It feels like someone has dropped red hot coals between my shoulder blades. I bow my head, my hair falling over my face as eyes. I really dig in with my toes, pushing harder with my legs trying to pick up my pace and avoid another stroke. I am in a quandary, if I don’t pick up the pace I get more strokes…if I do pick up the pace, I pass him more often and receive more lashes.

View attachment 1113634
I am passing him again and stiffen as the strap strikes my lower back. I see the men at the table erupt from their chairs pointing at me “ She forgot to count “ they yell. It is true. I have forgotten to count. Myles Coward smirked “ You are not even 5 minutes in Pennyworth and already you owe us another 10 minutes.” For some reason, I don’t know why, I begin to cry uncontrollably. It’s not because of the burning pain, it’s not because I am almost completely naked in front of these strange men, I believe it is because I realize that there is no way that l can survive four years in this hell called Bridewell. I am quite sure that I will not survive this very night.

But survive the night I do. The five minute rest breaks between the ten minute sessions are too short but do help me survive the ordeal. Each man has their turn with me. I scream and scream until my voice becomes hoarse, but the strap keeps falling and the pain becomes my whole world. I am numb with pain by the time the last man finishes. My feet are blistered, my hands are cramping and my wrists raw, my legs ache so badly I can barely stand, my back hurts so much I know it can’t take another blow. I slump over the bar exhausted, waiting for them to unshackle me.

Suddenly Miles Coward steps forward. “Not done yet, Pennyworth. You owe each of us ten more minutes for the miscounts.” I finally break down” Please, Please I beg you. I can’t take any more. My back can’t take another stroke. Please sir have mercy.” Coward turned to his colleagues “ How about it men. We can show Pennyworth some mercy if she agrees. I say we turn her around and each of us gets two swats at her bubbies” Of course the men agreed whole heartedly. “ Well Pennyworth, is it to be your back or your breasts. I dropped my head and in a voice even I could barely hear, I whispered “my breasts”.

The men move quickly to unshackle my wrists. Their hands roam over my body as they turn me. My back hurts more and more with each small movement. I am now facing the vile man Miles Coward holding the strap. The men called Johnny and Jasper each take a wrist and pull my arms out straight to each side. Coward says “Brace yourself , Pennyworth” as he steps into the first stroke. The strap snaps across both breasts, hitting my nipples dead center. I cry out in pain, my knees buckle. This pain is different, the flesh so tender. It feels like someone is holding fire to each breast. Before I am ready the second strike hits home. I scream loudly and pull at the hands that hold me but the men hold fast. The fiery pain radiates thru the front of my body, to add to the awful pain in my back, worsened by my struggles. I don’t believe I can take six more strokes, surely the strap has already drawn blood. My nipples burn as if their their tender skin has been ripped by the strap. I look down at my breasts, there are red streaks across both but I see no blood.

Suddenly I see Coward reach back and send another lash across my chest. This knocks the breath from me and before I can get air in my lungs a fourth stroke burns across my nipples. My scream is ear-splitting. “ You bastard” I yell, “ you said two strokes each.” He smiles at me “ such foul language from a woman, Pennyworth. I believe you are confused. I believe six strokes each was the agreed upon punishment.” I look beseechingly at the Matron and Parker still standing in the far corner. “ Pennyworth are you accusing my nephew of lying? Who would ever take the word of a convict over that of a gentleman? Trust me things could be much worse and believe me in the future they will be. You’ll look back at this night as a walk in the park.” I scream as the strap finds my breasts once again and strikes with unimaginable venom. (To be continued)

The swearing should also have earned Pennyworth a 20 stroke caning 10 from Matron and 10 from Parker next morning in front of the assembled inmates
 
An interesting variation on whipped at the carts tail. Never thought about a prisoner whipped at a carts tail around the inner Bridewell yard. Would be quite a spectacle, although I would rather see a single tail whip used and not a cat o nine as would still be severe, but not as harsh
I beg to differ, I find the cat almost therapeutic while a good signal whip when cracked leaves scarring welts, anf normal bdsm strikes leave magnificent welts tgat look amazing with elevated pain. I’m a painslut so prefer s good single tail because it hurts more. YMMV

I used to think the cat would hurt more because of the extra tails and have enjoyed one for 30 years but a single tail allows for a more concentrated force delivery at a single whip lash thst can really do serious damage if cracked into flesh.
