Maybe I can distract him?

You confidently step out of the cab, taking long strides to the front door of your Master's house. You know he is watching you from inside, so you make sure to keep your head up and sway your pert ass as you walk. You make sure the jacket you wore in the cab opens just enough for him to get a few glimpses of your outfit. Your only hope to avoid your punishment (or at least lessen it) is to show off how well you behave for him. You approach the door and knock quietly.

"Come in," he shouts "and explain yourself!"

You enter the house and immediately walk over to your Master. You kneel down and place your hands on the ground in front of you. Leaning forward, you make sure your ass is high in the air. Swaying just slightly, almost imperceptibly, you hope you can dissolve some of his frustration with you by turning him on a little. The whole time, you are hoping he is more focused on the sight of your ass accented by those sexy stockings and your garters instead of the time.

"Get in the car," he growls, "we're late."

Crap, you know you're screwed. You could try explaining yourself, hoping he won't be too angry (assuming you can think of a good reason why you are late). You could also just show off how well you listen and immediately get in the car.
