The next morning

Your sleep was deep and refreshing despite the pain of your whipping and you wake up still painfully aware of pretty much every movement you make but feeling much better than you would have expected after an ordeal like that (not that you had any experience to draw comparisons from before). You also suspect the body products industry has evolved over somewhat different lines in this world and the creams have far stronger healing and soothing effects.

You can hear Diana in the kitchen and you gingerly climb out of the bed; a quick glance in the body length mirror is far less scary than you thought it would be. A more careful self-inspection suggests you will have a few scars where the whip landed particularly harshly on a particularly soft target for a while but most of you should will make a speedy recovery. Diana hears you and calls out; you respond and join her. You are still completely naked; Diana is not but what she has on she raided from your wardrobe having brought nothing to change into and the size difference between the two of you makes it very hard for her to find a modest-looking attire if indeed she ever aimed to in the first place.

She makes a mixed sound of sympathy, gladness and surprise at your look and rushes to give you a very careful embrace which you happily return. She pours you coffee and asks if you want anything to eat; you are actually quite hungry and you believe the circumstances will excuse forgoing your duties as a host and let her cook, watching her tightly clad behind as she moves around, seemingly already knowing where everything is. Minutes later you are both devouring the omelettes. It hardly feels like the first time you are doing this; you could have been living together for a year now. Perhaps Diana’s home wear would be a bit looser in the chest, though. Not that you are complaining.

Neither of you mentions the punishment you suffered last night talking about work and throwing plans of what to do this weekend around instead. Despite you feeling much better you both think there should be no further exertion but you do not want to stay stuck inside for the whole time either. As your work-issued punishment does not apply on the weekend the danger of further chastisement will not be increased by your look. Although, of course, the danger will be always present... And you can think of things to do inside together as well.
