eyes. But the Mistress had bent down, apparently to reach for something.
And Beauty saw her rise again with a thick dab of yellow cream on her fingers. The fingers smeared the cream to Beauty’s throbbing nipples and dabbed it between her legs so that it dripped and slid in dollops into her vagina.
“Just butter, my sweet, fresh butter,” said the Mistress. “No perfumed ointments here.” And suddenly she dropped the cat on all fours on Beauty’s tender belly and chest, and Beauty felt the soft pads of the cat’s feet moving up her chest with maddening quickness.
She squirmed, pulled on the straps. The little beast had dipped its head, and the rough, sandy little tongue was eating at her nipple, devouring the butter that covered it. Some deep, deep, hitherto unknown fear made itself known, sending Beauty into wilder and wilder struggles.
But the indifferent little monster with its exquisite white face ate on and on, the nipple exploding under the licks, and Beauty’s whole body went tense, lifting itself off the wood and thudding down again.
The creature was lifted, taken to the right breast, and Beauty pulled with all her strength on the straps, the sobs shaking out of her, the little hind feet padding deeply into her belly, the soft stomach hairs of the cat brushing her as the tongue lapped again, cleaning the nipple thoroughly.
Beauty clenched her teeth not to scream the word “No,” her eyes squeezing shut again, only to open on the sight of the heart-shaped face dipping down in short quick movements as the tongue lapped, the nipple pushed back and forth by the strength of the sandy lick, the sensation so exquisite, so dreadful, that Beauty screamed louder than she had ever screamed under the paddle.
But the cat was being lifted. Beauty thrashed from side to side, clenching her teeth harder on the “No” that must not come out as she felt those silky ears and that fur between her legs, and the tongue darting at her distended clitoris. “0, but please, no, no,” she screamed in the sanctuary of her mind, even as the pleasure jetted through her, mingling with the loathing of the hairy little feline and its horrid mindless feasting. Her hips froze in the air, inches above the wood, the furry nose and mouth pushing deeper and deeper into her. No more tongue on the clitoris, just the maddening brushing of the top of the head against it, and it wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough. 0, the little monster!
To her utter shame and defeat, Beauty struggled to press her pubis against the creature, to press on the little skull, to make it stroke the clitoris with the slightest pressure. But the tongue had gone down lower, lapping the base of her vagina, lapping the crack of her buttocks, and her sex hungered vainly as the pleasure passed into a high-pitched torment.
Beauty gritted her teeth and shook her head about as the tongue lapped at her pubic hair, as it took what it wanted, oblivious to the desire that racked her.
And when she thought she could stand it no more, that she would go mad, the cat was lifted away. It peered down at her from Mistress Lockley’s arms, the Mistress smiling just as sweetly as the cat smiled, it seemed, above her.
“Witch!” Beauty thought, but she did not dare to speak, and she closed her eyes, her sex quivering with all the desire she had ever known collected in it.
Mistress Lockley released the cat. It was gone, out of sight. And Beauty felt the straps on her wrists released, and then the straps on her ankles.
She lay shuddering, resisting with all her will the desire to close her legs, to turn over on the board, hugging her breasts with one hand while with the other she touched her burning sex in an orgy of private pleasure.
There would be no such mercy for her.
“Get down on your hands and knees,” said Mistress Lockley. “I think you’re finally ready for the paddle.”
Beauty climbed to the floor.
And in confusion she turned to hurry after the little boots that were already far away as they clicked sharply out of the kitchen.
The movement of her legs as she crawled only intensified the craving in her.
And when they reached the counter in the front room of the Inn, she climbed up at once to the snap of Mistress Lockley’s fingers.
People were passing back and forth in the square; they chatted at the rim of the well.
