CHAPTER NINETEEN
He called a halt after each of them had taken twelve lashes. It wasn’t for the benefit of Tara and Delia, but for Robert, to maintain his strength so that he could deliver the remaining lashes with the same undiminished force as the ones that he had already administered.
For Tara and Delia, while the break from the battering cords and the knots tearing into their flesh was welcome, it came at the price of more time hanging from their wrists, their weight shifting between their aching shoulders and their toes. The shifting weight caused terrible distress to their feet which still bore the cuts from the rocks over which they had been forced to pull the cart.
They hung there, panting to recover the breath they had been expending shouting out their agony to the unsympathetic audience. Their bodies were coated with sweat, their hair soaked and disheveled, their faces streaked with tears and phlegm. They pressed their bodies together, partly for comfort and support, partly because their bonds left them little choice.
“Are you OK, Delia?” Tara whispered.
Delia shook her head. “It hurts so much.”
“I feel like there’s no skin left on my back,” Tara said. “I don’t know how I can take eighteen more.”
“I don’t know either, Tara. But what choice do we have?”
Tara saw the doctor approaching with her black medical bag. She watched her pour some liquid onto a swab and then felt it touch her back. For a moment it felt cool and soothing, but then it began to burn like pure fire. “Owwwww!” she howled, twisting and writhing against Delia. “Oh, God, it stings,” she wailed.
“Not as much as the money I lost betting on you two useless cunts,” one of the spectators shouted.
“Stop being a baby,” the doctor told her. “I have to disinfect where the skin is broken. It’s for your own good.” She moved to Delia and prepared a new swab and dabbed her back. Now it was Delia’s turn to writhe against Tara, her large breasts rubbing insistently against Tara’s smaller ones. She shouted several Spanish curse words, a few of which Tara had heard before and a couple of which were new to her.
When they had finally calmed down as the burning from the antiseptic died down, Tara looked at the doctor. “Please, we’ve had enough. I can’t take any more. It’s killing me!” she begged.
The doctor laughed. “Nonsense, you’re both young and healthy. You’ve only had twelve so far, for Pete’s sake. Plenty of girls have taken as many or more than you two are due and all of them survived.” Tara hadn’t really expected that the doctor would help them in any way, but she was so desperate that she didn’t care about embarrassing herself with a fruitless plea for mercy. The doctor turned and walked away, leaving them to bear the remainder of their sentence.
The men in the audience were taking advantage of the hiatus to enjoy the favors of the other Personal Companions. Shouts of triumph rang out as one or another man deposited his seed in one or another orifice of one or another of the girls.
But, all too soon, Robert was approaching, the handle of the whip in his hand, the cords dangling loosely towards the ground. He took his position behind Tara. She would be first this time. Her body tensed up, as she tried her best to prepare herself for the torment yet to come, which was going to be even more than what she had suffered so far, as she was not even halfway through her allotted punishment.
Before Robert could strike, the “Principal” interjected a request. “How’s about we give them the next ones across their asses? I’d love to see what those cords would do to those tender juicy globes of flesh.”
He had, of course, delivered paddle blows to their buttocks, but this would be much more severe. “Who wants to see them get whipped on their asses?” their employer asked.
There was a general chorus of assent. “Yeah, let’s whip their worthless asses!” one man yelled.
“Very well, Robert. Please administer the next strokes to the buttocks.”
Robert smiled and bowed and adjusted his position. Then, Tara heard the lashes whir through the air as Robert swung it over his head and then felt the tails strike with full force across her lower cheeks. The force drove her hips forward pushing her vulva against Delia’s crotch.
Then the pain hit her, like being stung by an angry nest full of hornets as the knots dug deeply into the soft, yielding flesh. “Ohhh!” Tara cried. The pain kept rising until it plateaued and then, only slowly, ebbed.
“Thirteen for Tara,” Kelly announced. Not even halfway through.
Robert struck again, the tails wrapping around Tara’s buttocks the knotted ends cutting into her upper thighs. She wriggled madly her nether regions rubbing against those of her friend and partner in suffering.
The next one, fifteen, was the halfway point. Tara couldn’t imagine how she would survive suffering again as many lashes as she had already taken, each one now landing on skin that was already battered and abraded.
She watched Robert move in front of her to stand behind Delia. Tara would get a brief reprieve at the price of having to watch her lover suffer. Robert whirled the cords over his head and slashed them across Delia’s ass. Tara felt Dee’s hips thrust forward, pressing against her pubic region. She thought about the pleasure Delia had given her last night, the caresses and kisses she had given to those very parts.
Robert struck again. Delia wailed, a chain of swear words in English and Spanish, as her hips shook and pressed hard against Tara’s hips. Tara could feel her friend trembling in reaction to the strokes already taken and in fear of the strokes to come.
Delia’s fifteenth lash was delivered. She was now halfway through as well, though her cries didn’t suggest much semblance of relief at that milestone.
The flogging continued. Three strokes to one penitent girl’s ass, her howls of pain her gyrations against the genitals of her friend and lover, then a switch to the other sufferer, the sounds of her anguish and the sight of more stripes added to her buttocks to entertain the audience.
Finally, Robert reached twenty four delivered to each girl. It was time to rest and recharge so he could deliver the final six to each of them at maximum force in order to satisfy his employer and his guests. It was also time for the doctor to renew her disinfection of the wounds, this time on Tara and Delia’s butts, the astringent liquid evoking similar howls and twisting in their bonds as when it had been applied to their backs.
And as they hung there, waiting to receive the final allotment of their punishment, the lashes that they had thought they would be spared, every part of their bodies was in agony, from their shoulders aching from supporting their weight to their upper backs and buttocks, scored by the knotted cords, to their feet, which ached from being forced to stand on tiptoe.
Their only comfort they had was that they were together in their ordeal, each one’s sweat-sheened skin pressed against the other’s, their pussies moist from grinding together as the force of the whip pushed their hips forward. They could look into each other’s eyes, drawing comfort and support from having a fellow sufferer, company in their misery.
Meanwhile, there was a discussion about where the final six lashes should be delivered. The “Principal”, of course, wanted them to be given on the ass. Others wanted the back. Some argued for turning them around and whipping their tits. Neither Tara nor Delia was consulted on the decision, even though it was their flesh that would suffer from the results. Neither was surprised by that.
In the end, in the spirit of compromise, it was decided to split the difference-three lashes on the ass and three on the back, with Robert making a special effort to wrap the end of the tails onto their breasts.
And, so instructed, the large powerful black man took his position behind Delia. Tara watched as he twirled the cords above his head and then slashed them across her friend’s upper back, with a special wrist flick that sent the knotted ends digging into the flesh of Dee’s right breast.
Tara saw the skin split, small droplets of blood welling up. Delia howled her displeasure, while Robert was smiling as the audience whistled their approval. Tara wanted dearly to kiss her lover’s breasts to comfort her, but their stretched position didn’t allow that.
Instead, she could only watch as Robert slashed a second blow across Delia’s ass, driving her hips once again into Tara’s pelvis. For the third of the set, Robert delivered a backhanded strike that cut into Delia’s left breast, dragging more piteous cries from the poor girl.
Now it was Tara’s turn. She watched Robert circle behind her and heard the cords whir around his head before they smashed into her back, the tails cutting into the side of her right breast in a blaze of agony that had her shouting her distress despite the hoarseness in her throat.
The next one came from the other side, scoring her left tit. The gashes they left behind looked awful, blood seeping from them in several places. The third of the set struck her ass, driving her pussy hard against Delia’s.
Tara saw Robert circle around again to deliver the final three to Delia, who bore them more or less silently, too exhausted to protest. Tara took her final three in more or less the same manner.
Robert bowed to the audience, who applauded and cheered his excellent work. Kelly, finally, lowered the bar. It had been nearly an hour that Tara and Delia had been stretched out. The relief for their aching muscles almost overshadowed the pain from the whip, which still burned in the most damaged places. They slumped to the floor in each other’s arms, unable to move.
“Look at those dykes. I bet they’d eat each other out right here to avoid any more lashes,” one man said to general laughter.
“Now, now, gentlemen, they’ve taken their punishment. That’s it for tonight, I’m afraid,” their employer said, to scattered boos. The doctor came forward, motioning to the other Personal Companions to help. Working together, they were able to coax Tara and Delia to their feet and help them limp to the clinic.
***
Tara and Delia were deposited face down onto beds in the clinic. “Would you help me by holding them down? I need to disinfect their wounds and it’s likely to hurt just a bit,” the doctor asked their fellow students. As the astringent liquid worked its way into the fresh wounds, it set off another round of shrieks and wild struggles from the prone bodies, newly revived by the latest treatment.
“Ok, that’s fine, thank you,” the doctor said after Tara and Delia’s gyrations ceased, shooing the others out of the clinic.
“Now, I’m going to put some of this cream on,” she told them. “It won’t hurt, I promise. In fact it will feel good and will really promote healing.”
“Thank you, doctor,” Tara said.
“Oh, I’m not doing it for you,” she told them. “I’m doing it for him. For some reason he sees some value in you two worthless cunts and asked me to take care of you.”
Tara didn’t really mind being called a worthless cunt as long as the cream worked. It was pretty hard to feel much self worth when you had spent the last hour being whipped naked to amuse and arouse an audience of wealthy, powerful men.
The doctor deposited a healthy dollop of cream on her gloved index finger and gently applied it to the wounds on Tara’s ass, then applied more to her back and breasts. Tara had to admit that it did feel good, strangely soothing, but also causing a tingling sensation which was very pleasant. She sighed happily.
Then, the doctor applied cream to Delia’s wounds, provoking similar sighs of contentment. Tara heard men’s voices talking loudly and laughing. Turning her head, she saw him, accompanied by the “Principal” and another one of the guests, a middle-aged man with a shaven head and a trimmed salt and pepper beard.
The men stood over the two women. “Robert does good work, doesn’t he?”
Tara could feel their breath on her inflamed skin as they bent to have a closer look. “He does,” the “Principal” said.
“I agree,” the other man added.
“May I feel the weals?” the “Principal” asked.
“Be my guest” the doctor said. Tara felt his fingers running along the ridges and cuts on her ass cheeks, pinching and kneading the raised, inflamed skin.
“Oww!” she moaned, as a new dose of pain seared through her poor ass cheeks. Finally, he moved on. She watched him perform the same examination on Delia, eliciting a similar response.
“That is a proper punishment for these little skanks,” the “Principal” pronounced. “I bet the next time, they’ll put forth some effort instead of lying down on the job.”
“No doubt,” the other man said.
“Most of these girls today are really in need of discipline. My paddle is simply not up to the job. Do you know where I can get a whip like that?”
“I’ll talk to Robert in the morning,” he said. “I’ve got some things to attend to, so I’ll leave you gentlemen to finish your inspection.” Tara saw him turn and walk away.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the “Principal” and the other man undressing. Both were sporting erections; the other man’s in particular was very thick.
“Mind if I have the blonde?” the “Principal” asked. The other man shrugged and nodded.
‘Poor Delia,’ Tara thought. ‘That’s going to hurt.’ She felt the “Principal” pulling her legs apart and lifting her hips to give himself a better angle to enter her. “Oww!” she complained as the change in position was quite painful.
“Shut up or I’ll see to it that you get another dozen or two,” he spat. Tara bit her lip to keep quiet as he placed the tip of his penis against her rear entrance. She felt his weight bearing down and then he was inside her. She heard Delia moaning as the other man shoved his large penis inside her.
The “Principal” began rutting away, each thrust re-igniting the fire in Tara’s ass cheeks as he pushed his pubic bone against her inflamed skin.
“You worthless whore, you deserve everything you got, don’t you?” he said. His movements were fast now, like a piston.
“I asked you a question, bitch. Answer me!” he demanded, breathless.
“Yes, sir,” Tara replied. He groaned and she felt him spurting inside her. And, at that moment, she truly did feel like a worthless whore deserving of punishment and humiliation, her spirit broken, her body just a receptacle for these men’s seed.
