Partnering Chapter 11 Final Exams and Graduation Patrick Physically, she really was a very beautiful woman. Patrick sat quietly in the training room throne contemplating the woman suspended in front of him. She was tall, with the taut, trim body of an aerobics instructor. Her breasts were small, but nicely shaped and well placed on her chest. Her ass was hard, muscular, but still shapely. Long, lithe legs seemed to stretch on forever. Her hair was auburn, but where she had worn it long those months ago, she now wore it in a short cap of curls that followed the graceful shape of her head. She was beautiful; certainly beautiful enough to tempt a young man too unsure of himself to recognize what he had in Theresa. She was also seriously tied up. Two stout posts, each two feet tall in height, were bolted to the floor about three feet apart. Leather straps at her ankles and just below her knees snugged her calves up tight to the outside of the posts. Her wrists were bound together and raised above her head. There was enough slack so that she wasn't hanging by her wrists, but insufficient slack for her to rest her arms on her head. She looked like a ballet dancer doing a pli‚ or a martial artist assuming a 'horse stance'. The only way she could take pressure off her legs was to relax them, taking the strain on her arms and wrists. The bondage was deceptively strict. A simple leather blindfold was all she wore other than her restraints. Vera had been like this for about a half hour. William had bound her into this position before telling her that she would be serving a special, visiting Master today. Right now, she did not even know that Patrick was in the room. He had walked in as William had left. The effort needed to hold the position with her legs was starting to show. Sweat beading on her forehead, she final had needed to relax her leg muscles. Pat noted carefully where her ass ended up in that semi sitting position, supported by her arms. She cocked her head so her ears were toward the door, waiting for the arrival of her Master. Her nostrils flared as she tried to relax under the new strain in her arms. When it became too much for her to take on her arms any longer, she pulled herself back up onto her legs again with the strength of her arms. Time to begin the ending of this part of his life, Pat thought. Time start the beginning of the next. He slid the special hassock behind Vera, adjusting both its position and height based on what he'd seen when she'd relaxed her legs. Vera heard the movement and swiveled her head, trying to sense his position. Pat steadfastly refused to say anything to her, letting the silence increase her anxiety, increase her excitement, increase her susceptibility. He stepped in front of her and knelt between her straining legs. Unlike Tess and other clients of the Academy, Vera had elected to keep her bush. It was nicely trimmed, and the color proved that she was truly a red head. It had to go. She went rigid at his first touch. He massaged the cream into her pubic mound, working the cream into the hair and teasing her at the same time. The razor had been kept warm in the water bowl. Pat let her feel the razor before he started to shave. Her leg muscles bulged as she became even more rigid, trying to keep herself from being cut. Her breathing had deepened, but she still had not said a word. When Pat wiped away the last of the cream with the towel, her legs gave out again and she settled back onto her arms. Until she hit 'it', that is, and then she jerked herself back onto legs that had not recovered yet from the last stint in the horse stance. 'It' was a metal buttplug whose base had been frozen into the block of ice set onto the hassock. The ice kept the metal of the butt plug at below freezing temperature. When Vera's bottom had fallen, the plug had slid between the cheeks of her nice warm ass and must have felt like an electric shock. Pat made a minor adjustment forward on the hassock and raised it an inch or so. Perfect. Pat dipped his hands into the baby oil he'd brought and began anointing her body with the slippery stuff. He paid particular and meticulous attention to her breasts, pussy and ass. She looked like a flesh colored work of sculpture, glistening in the room's soft light. He stepped behind her, and reached around her to massage at her small round breasts, to tease at the rock hard tips of her nipples, to trace light oily fingers around the sensitive transition from breast to aureole. Vera began arching into him, still not speaking, but unable to prevent the light purrs of pleasure as he played with her. She began to lean into him, but Pat stepped back, keeping contact with her breasts, but denying her the support of his body. She leaned until she reached the point of no return. Her legs were no longer under her and were too fatigued to support her off balance weight. She slipped inexorably down his chest, making a perfect, one point landing on icy cold dildo. The increased height slid the dildo an inch or so into her baby oil-slick ass. The shock of the frigid toy in the hot depths of her ass broke her discipline and she screamed. She fought her way back off the toy and onto her increasingly weak legs. She was panting now, feeling the burn in every muscle. Pat adjusted the hassock higher still and then moved in behind again, recommencing the massage. His questing, teasing fingers moved lower to tease her tummy, and upper legs. He kneaded at knots to ease her discomfort. He slipped a hand behind her and began massaging her bulging gluteal muscles. He slipped a deft finger from the slit of her pussy back along the perineum and into her ass. Vera was moaning now, her hips rocking, trying to make love to a nonexistent lover. A particularly wide hip roll overbalanced her again, and she fell backwards, sliding even more of the frosty toy up her outraged poop chute. It took her longer to struggle off the plug this time. Even her toned athletic body had limits, and Patrick was driving her up against them. Another adjustment to the hassock and Pat moved in front of her and knelt before her. He used his strong fingers to relax the bunched, cramping muscles in her inner thighs and plied his tongue to her now hairless pussy. As hard as she was working, as much effort as she was expending, she was super turned on. Her juices were flowing copiously, and Patrick savored them. He remembered his lessons at the hands of Catherine, Dina, Marielle and Tessa, and he used every trick he knew. Vera was trying to get him closer, trying to position that maddening tongue where it was most needed, where just the slightest lick, the least pressure would send her spinning into heaven. It never happened. He always moved on just before she could trigger. Again she lost her balance and again she slid down, down, down onto the freezing length of the plug. Only this time, she fell all the way, and her ass closed over the wide bulb of the toy and started to seal against the narrow base. Exhausted arms flailed, trying to get off the toy, trying to pull her up onto even more fatigued legs. She succeeded, but it was obvious it was the last time she would do so. Pat pulled the matching plug out of the still warm shaving water and slipped it up her ass. The mild warmth in the now chilled passage made her jerk in response. Pat slipped the ice off the hassock. There was no longer any need for it. He began his final, all out assault on her senses; teasing, tugging, nipping, licking and fondling. Her body gave out and she slipped back to rest her bottom on the now ice-free hassock. "Please, Master, please." Vera was exhausted, begging for release. She was literally quivering from both her need and from the unrelenting physical demands she had made of her muscles. Pat continued to tease her orally until she started to become incoherent. It was time. "Do you want to come, little Vera?" He whispered his question, denying her the opportunity to recognize him by his voice. Her head came up in surprise at the first sound of his voice. "Oh yes, please Master, please let me come. Please help me come." "And do you think I can make you come, little Vera?" She was gasping, trying to gulp down air, her words were harsh with need, "Oh, yes, Master, I've never been so used, so turned on. Please, please make me come." "Very well, Slave." With one smooth thrust, Pat entered her. Vera picked up the rhythm of his love making and used what muscular control she had left to pull him deeper into her. Tiny contractions in her pussy signaled the immediacy of her orgasm. Pat jerked off the blindfold and stared into the surprised, wide open eyes. "So, come for me, slave. You can and will come for me." He made one, two, three long hard thrusts into her depths and she went mad. She slept as much from exhaustion as from the shattering force of her orgasm. When she regained consciousness, she found she was lying on the hassock, her arms released, her legs still tied, but only at the ankles. A semi hard cock rested on the bridge of her nose. Her eyes uncrossed to slide up the attached body to see Patrick's face. He saw the recognition in her eyes. Pat hunkered down to put himself nose to nose with her. "I guess I just proved that I can bring a woman of your experience to her pleasure, Vera." he said very softly. "but, somehow, I didn't seem to get enough out of you to make my own orgasm worthwhile. I was going to piss on you, but you might enjoy that too much and, anyway, I can't seem to work up the interest for anything more to do with you. I think I'll go find a real woman. Look me up if you ever learn how to please a real man properly." Pat stood and left, not looking back at the shocked, panting woman. Catherine and William William turned away from the monitor where they had just watched Patrick's sensual conquest and humiliation of Vera Sutton-Daniels. Arousal flared hot in his guts. He was surprised he wasn't breathing fire. Catherine's eyes were still fixed on the scene in the room. Deep, ragged breaths, brightly flushed skin and sparkles of perspiration attested to the intense fire of her own excitement. William took her arm to lead her away from the monitor and out of the room. Once the emotional spell broke, of one mind, Master and Mistress headed for the seclusion of their own rooms to burn together in the heat of their passions. After entering their rooms, Catherine turned to William, her tone dazed. "I'm not sure I believe what we just saw. No spanking, no toys except those two small ass plugs. Other than that wicked bondage, there was absolutely no rough stuff. Will, he took her apart. It was the most complete and erotic domination of a woman I've ever seen. It was incredible." William paused before going into the bedroom. "I know. I'm amazed, too." His brow furrowed and his mood became pensive. "Cat, you know what we just saw in there means to you, don't you? He's back, all the way. And he's learned everything about being a top that you and I can teach him. It's time to pay the piper, lass. It's time to offer him Room 3-5." Catherine stared at William, letting his meaning seep through to her passion dulled wits. He was right. It was a promise, and it was, indeed, time. Catherine Alone. Catherine was completely alone. She stood surrounded only by the darkness and deafening silence of her blindfold shrouded world. The same suspension that she had used on Patrick in this room so long ago, now held her. That awful day when she had lost it and had whipped him without the self discipline or the self control she demanded of herself as a truly caring and yes, loving dominatrix. Catherine had not seen Patrick yet. May had put Catherine into this suspension after escorting her here to Room 3-5. May had told her that Pat felt that Catherine wouldn't need to be taken by surprise to be restrained like he had been. After all, SHE was here completely of her own free will and with the full knowledge of the possibilities. Direct hit, Pat, she thought. Surprisingly, Patrick had not called for payment of her little debt immediately after William had 'graduated' him. The two young lovers had been so hot for each other that flames ignited anytime they were together. Tess, acting like the cute little slut she had wanted to be for Patrick, had done her level best to drive Patrick insane with her teasing, trying to get him to forget waiting for their wedding night. She would have succeeded, too, except that Pat, in a flash of rare male brilliance, had up and carried the girl off to Las Vegas, marrying her only a week after the scene with Vera. She'd been there, too. Crying at weddings did not fit with her concept of a domme, but what the hell. It had been lovely. William had given Tess away, and Catherine had stood up for Tess as Maid of Honor. Michelene had stood up for his son as Best Man. Marriage. MAID, not Matron, of Honor. Catherine decided that she was going to have to do something about William's freedom and soon. It was about time Catherine claimed full ownership of what was rightfully hers. After Pat and Tessa's wedding, Catherine had sort of hoped that Theresa would veto the one on one scene between Catherine and Patrick. Catherine really did not look forward to another session under Patrick's cane and began counting on newlywed jealousy to save her ass - literally. In fact, when they went away on their wedding trip without Pat mentioning the debt, she had even started to relax a bit. But Tess had absolutely flabbergasted her by sweetly agreeing that Pat had earned his reward and of course she wouldn't feel jealous of him dominating Lady Catherine. Catherine was her best friend. Tess knew that an unpaid debt like this would really bother Cat and she didn't mind sharing just this once. Huhh!, Catherine thought, some friend. Couldn't she tell that Catherine didn't particularly want to have a share? Of course she did, the little witch. Maybe Patrick would consider letting Catherine play in one of his scenes with Tess. She'd have to ask him. In any case, here she was, suspended and alone, in Room 3-5, not two days after Pat and Tess returned from their honeymoon. Waiting for whatever Pat cared to do to her and with her. Damn, but just now, she regretted some of the scenes she'd run on Pat. But they'd been for his own good, hadn't they? Surely he understood that now, after marrying Tess and settling with Vera. Yeah, right, Catherine, and you had enjoyed eating broccoli as a kid because your mom said it was for your own good. The door opened and shut, the air temperature changing slightly as the air in the room exchanged with the air conditioned hallway. Her nipples tightened and crinkled as wisps of cool air flitted by her sweaty breasts. A scent in the air caught her attention. Patrick's cologne, only much stronger than usual. Well, that was at least one purpose of the blindfold: make the other senses more acute, more sensitive. She felt the air move as he silently walked past. One lesson Pat had taken to heart, had learned all too well in fact, was the erotic potential of silence, of how the brain magnifies everything to try and fill in the gaps. It also deprived her of a second sense. He made no sound for her to hear. He made her deaf as well as blind. All she could do was feel. Strong fingers began kneading at her shoulders, working at muscles that had tightened from her arms being held above her. She nearly groaned in pleasure. Was he starting a 'Vera' scene with her? She didn't exactly like that idea, either, but it might be better than the cane. Something cool and sweet smelling was on those fingers, being rubbed into her skin. The hands moved down her torso, rubbing, fondling, leaving her only to return with more of the sweet ointment. When he rubbed it into her ass and buttocks, his hands lingered on the sleekly rounded moons of her cheeks. A teasing finger slid up from her pussy into the crease of her ass to toy with her ass hole. The ticklish feeling made her shiver and she involuntarily clenched to try and grip the intruder. The ointment was very slippery and the finger just continued its maddening slide up the crack of her ass to the small of her back. What a peculiar feeling. The moons of her bottom slipped and slid against each other as he continued to rub. God, she was getting hot. The hands came slowly up her front, rubbing in the oily ointment. She felt his breath on her neck, his arms wrapped around her, his legs against the backs of her thighs. He assiduously avoided her venus mound, sensuously working all around her legs and lower belly. She wanted to scream in frustration. She never should have taught him the value of subtle, indirect titillation. He began to massage the underside of her breasts, lifting their weight and kneading at the underlying muscle tissue. She arched like a cat and her head momentarily came to rest on his. He was working her titts now, gently squeezing and pulling, all around the so- sensitive nipples. The hands were momentarily gone. When they came back the went directly for the nipples, pinching, twisting gently and smoothing more ointment into the hard tips of her breasts. His hands felt so warm on her nipples and then he left her yet again, still soundless. Why were her nipples still warm and getting warmer? WARM?? Try HOT! The sneaky bastard had massaged a heat rub into her aureoles! They starting stinging mercilessly. They felt huge, bulging, like her breasts were suddenly all nipple. She was concentrating so hard on the unrelenting burn in her nipples she didn't immediately notice that his hands had moved. Not until she giggled, that is. Feathery fingertips were slipping up and down her ribs to dig into her under arms and then slid back. Her great hidden secret was how terribly ticklish she was and that oily ointment only made the torment worse. He had her laughing hard now, giggling helplessly under his expert touch. She didn't know which sensation was stronger; the burn in her nipples or that maddening tickling. He kept it up and kept it up, until she was gasping for breath. It seemed like every nerve in her upper body was alive and sending conflicting sensations to her overloading brain. A hand dropped to her groin and began teasing at her clitoris, coaxing it out of its hidey hole. Catherine's control was all but gone. She was completely open to any stimuli, now, ready to orgasm almost as soon as he started, but he stopped too soon. "YEEOOOOWWWCCHHH!!!" The squeal was out of her before she could stop it. He'd clamped something to her clit, and it pinched! She felt the sensation of a hanging weight pulling down on her clit, then the weight being fumbled with. >>click<< >>bbbbuuuuuzzzzz<<. Catherine came up on her toes, trying to escape the vibrating, pinching thing on her pussy. He must have put one of their new vibrating nipple clamps onto her clit. It was terrible. She was overstimulated. It was much too much direct stimulation for her to be able to orgasm. Her hips rocked spasmodically in a lewd fucking motion that made the little weight swing on her clit, making it even worse. And he still hadn't made a sound! >>smmmacckkk<< Something swatted her butt. Again, then again. It was not a harsh implement, thank God. If she had to guess, it was probably one of the multi-ended spanking straps that were designed to sting when the tips hit. All he was doing was gently warming her bottom. In truth, she'd really be getting off on such a sexy spanking if she wasn't already in complete sensory overload. Too much, too much. She couldn't decode what she felt where. The burning, the itchy, ticklish feeling, the vibrating pinch or the spanking - it was like everything was happening everywhere on her body! Too much, Too Much, TOO MUCH, "..TOOOO MUUUCCHH!!" The last was a scream. "RECOVERY!!!" She shouted Patrick's safety word. The spanking stopped and the clit clamp was removed. A damp cloth wiped the excess of the burning ointment from her and soft hands gentled her aggravated nerve endings. A breathy, whispery voice sounded in her ear. "Do you want to come, little one, or do you really want to quit?" Catherine's brain was starting to work again, and she was horny! "Oh, please, please, let me come." Bastard, she thought. Pat was getting too good at this game. She'd have to ask Mistress Theresa for another shot at slave patty, too. They'd just see how much he likes this kind of teasing when it's his cock instead of her cunt. Damn him. No one but William had ever broken her. The fingers went back to her pussy, teasing to arouse and satisfy this time. And then, she was filled. With LIVE cock! She couldn't believe Pat was actually fucking her. He was too in love with Tessa, or so Catherine had thought. She was so close! Just before her orgasm hit her, she found herself being thoroughly and masterfully kissed. She clamped down on the cock with all her strength as the orgasm hit her. It was still too much. Catherine blacked out. She awoke to find herself freed and resting on the floor. Something was wrong, though, something about what happened just before she orgasmed. Patrick kissed her and.... Wait a minute. Patrick doesn't have a mustache and the kisser did. She jerked herself straight up. A masculine chuckle came from behind her. The blindfold was undone and she spun to see William. It hadn't been Patrick. No wonder he'd been so successful in driving her mad. William knew her better than anyone, including every one of her weaknesses. He'd used every one, too. She gave him a dark glare. "Pat gave you to me, love. Said I should overwhelm you so you'd listen to me." "And obviously Tessa, the little sneak, was in on it, too." It was a statement, not a question. "And what am I supposed to listen to?" William stood and went over to kneel in front of her. "My proposal. Cat, I love you and you love me. No one knows us like we do. Please, marry me." That was the last thing she expected to hear. But even though it was in line with what she had decided she wanted to do just a little bit earlier, she was still a little put out that she had been broken. She'd let him stew. "I will give it every consideration. Now, if we are done, I have a scene to prepare for tomorrow." With that, she bent over to kiss him and then walked off, leaving William open mouthed on the floor. Epilogue It had been two months since Pat and Tessa's marriage. Catherine was still fending off William's daily proposals. It suited her to make the man suffer just a little while longer. Truth to tell, she hadn't figured out any other way to get even. That scene had been a masterpiece. She was going to spend a lifetime trying to match it. The intercom rang. "Catherine? May here. Tess is here and she'd like to come visit if you have time. You don't have any sessions scheduled, so shall I send her up?" Catherine agreed and was waiting for Tess when nausea suddenly hit her. Tessa knocked just as she came out of the bathroom, concerned with the increasing frequency of these events. Tessa hugged Catherine and blurted "I'm going to have a baby, Cathy. That Patrick must have gotten me on the honeymoon." She looked pleased, then grimaced. "He's so damned pleased with himself, though, that it makes me want to spit. Just wait till the next time he wants to be the bottom. I'll ..." Tessa suddenly realized that Catherine was not listening to her. "Cath? Is something wrong?" "That sneaky, conniving bastard. He knew! He knew that I was off the Pill because of doctor's orders and he didn't use anything when he stood in for Pat. 'Don't worry, Cat. Sure, Cat. I'll use a rubber until you get your new shield.' That BASTARD!" Tessa was looking at her furious friend in wide eyed amazement. Catherine strode to the intercom and punched a button. "Lord William." the speaker crackled. "Lord Shithead, you mean. Get your no good, devious male ass up here right now, you bastard. I have a few things to say to you. NOW, Billie boy." Catherine left the room and returned with her strap and a leather paddle which she handed to the still bemused Tess. "Here, you can help. It'll be good practice for when you deal with your own underhanded male." Catherine gave her strap arm a few warm up swings, and then grinned back at Tess. "In the meantime, how would like to be a Matron of Honor, and a Godmother?"
