Despite finding it distressing, she endures admirably

The younger woman was paying attention, because she replicates her girlfriend's posture perfectly for the punishment of her palms. She's less successful in copying the language used to ask you to begin, but she's still polite and gets her point across, so you don't complain. The first swat elicits a keening whine, but the naked stunner holds still and quickly thanks you. Tears start flowing again for the second and you half expect the pain to such an unusual part of her body to overwhelm her by number three, but no such luck, so you move on to her bottom.

Although you judge her buttocks to be too battered to take a substantial spanking, you think a mere four swats should be safe enough, whilst more likely to earn extras than a less well thrashed area. You're half right, as each thwack sets cheeks jiggling and produces a stifled howl of anguish, but fingertips stay (just about) in contact with toes, lean legs stay straight and stilted thanks continue to flow. The paddling is concluded with no further extras earned.

"Thank, er, you for spanking, er, me. I will be, er, better, er, behave, er." When you give her permission to rise, she surprises you with the clearest enunciation she's given in some time, even through the tears that continue to flow.

"Well done," you reply. "Now, pick up your clothes, girls. I have a whip in my rooms to finish your punishment and then I'll try a few different implements to decide which one you can carry for the rest of your holiday." You look at the tourists in turn as you explain your plans for each and they hurry to comply with no visible reaction to your demands.

"Yes, er, sir," they respond, not quite in unison. Himari easily balances her clothing on her forearms, although she seems quite stiff when squatting down to pick up her burden. Yuina has a bit more difficulty and looks as if she'd like to hold her pile of garments to her bosom, but she restrains herself, presumably fearing the consequences if you thought she were trying to cover up.

You lead the way, trailed by two sore young beauties, their tears drying on the short journey to your room. When you stop to open the door, you notice that they're still looking round at the venerable surroundings like any sightseers. It seems being naked and thoroughly spanked is not going to spoil their visit completely.

"Come in," you say, holding the door for them, before heading over to the wall rack to take down a lash. "Put your clothes on the table and then you stand here, Himari and try to touch the beam." You indicate the spot and the shapely submissive obeys, reaching up towards the ceiling. Although on the shorter side, she just about manages by standing on tiptoes, stretching her slender body most attractively.

"Please, er, may I be whip, er, five, er, time."

You're quite impressed she remembered how many lashes she's due, but perhaps it's something her mistress expects. Her back has suffered its share of chastisement since arriving in your country, but nowhere near as much as her bum, so you're quite happy to lay on a few stripes. Her girlfriend, meanwhile, just stands at the table, unsure what else to do.

The sound of whip on flesh is drowned by the sharp intake of breath through the recipient's teeth, which is followed by a groan, but one advantage of her body being so taut is that she can't really move without falling down, so she remains ready for your next blow. Yuina carefully avoids reacting, instead staring straight ahead at the wall.

"One, thank, er, you, sir. Please, whip, er, me."

You draw the long flexible implement back over your shoulder and flick it lazily just to the side of the previous welt. You know from experience that it will do almost all the work for you with minimal investment of effort; one of the reasons you like it so much.

Two more lashes have her sobbing yet again and you can see the strain in her back, but she holds on to the end before falling to her knees and turning to thank you profusely. You temporarily decline her pleas to tip you, saying you'll handle that later, after helping her companion choose what to carry for the rest of her stay. Then, you select a few options from your extensive collection.

A full scale assessment is time consuming and exhausting, for both assessor and assessed, but you don't intend to be so thorough, so you merely add a strap, cane and small paddle to the whip for testing. Yuina's already experienced her lover's larger paddle, of course. You turn back to your guests and say you're ready to begin, letting Himari continue kneeling while you get to work on her apprehensive girlfriend.
