The slave's breath hitches as the mistress, clad in leather and lace, circles him like a predator. She traces the paddle along his spine, making him shiver. 'You think you can displease me and not face consequences?' she asks, her voice a low growl. She brings the paddle down on his bare ass, the sound of leather meeting flesh echoing in the room. The slave gasps, his body tensing, but he remains in position, ready for the next strike. His punishment has only just begun.
