The young maid squirms in anticipation as she waits to learn of her fate, tears threatening to fall at any moment. The young woman was guilty of nothing more than sheer clumsiness, but that was enough to put her in the situation that she now had to endure. She had broken a precious vase, more expensive than she could ever replace and a favorite of the Lady of the manor. The possibility of being discharged from service hangs forebodingly over her head as she sits outside of her Lord’s study.
I am that Lord, pondering for several hours now how to best deal with the infraction. While I understand that it was merely an accident, it was also a direct result of the maid’s carelessness. I now much decide how to satisfy my wife’s ire and my own desire to show mercy. When I feel that I’ve come to a solution, I open the door and ask the young girl to enter.
I return to my plush chair as she enters the room behind me. She stands silently in front of my desk as I get comfortable and begin to explain the situation. In order to fulfill all of my obligations as her employer, as well as my personal feelings on the matter, I give her two options. She may either opt for tendering her resignation and accepting severance pay, or she may take a very thorough and painful thrashing with the birch upon her naked flesh, with the knowledge that further indiscretions will be dealt with in a similar fashion once that punishment has been chosen.
The choice is difficult for the young lady, but the options aren’t truly as balanced as they may appear. Upon leaving my service, finding new employment would be difficult. Even if the reasons behind her resignation aren’t discussed, few houses would hire a maid who left another good manor on such questionable grounds. Choosing to leave would effectively put her out on the street. As much as it would pain her to do so, she chooses to stay, and take the thrashing.
I nod in understanding, moving to brush away the tears that have begun to roll down the young girl’s beautiful face. I instruct her to prepare herself, and to bend over the front of my desk. I then walk back around my desk to retrieve a bundle of birch switches kept in a silver urn for just such occasions. I swish the item through the air to test its readiness for another use.
The chambermaid takes a few moments to calm down, and then starts the slow process of getting ready for her punishment. Her dress is too cumbersome to be easily raised, so she instead removes it entirely, undressing under her Lord’s watchful eye. Setting the dress aside, she then unties the string on her drawers, pulling them down as well. Lewdly exposed to her employer, she bends over my desk and grabs the far side with both hands.
Holding the birch menacingly as I step back to where she rests across my desk, I stand just to her side, within easy reach of her naked bottom. I ask if she’s ready, and then wait for her to reply before continuing. The birch brushes across her skin momentarily to allow her to feel the prickly branches. I hold it there for just a moment, long enough for her to anticipate the coming stroke. When I raise the birch, air dances around her untouched cheeks before it’s replaced with the full sensation of each stem lashing out across her unprotected flesh.
She gasps as the birch bites into her naked flesh, but she keeps herself in place without crying out or losing position. She receives just a moment of respite before the birch again makes its presence known with painful precision. A third stroke follows soon afterwards, increasing the burn that permeates her bottom. The prickly tendrils of the branches dance across her striped flesh, not only solidly impacting her ample buttocks, but nipping evilly on her thighs and lower back.
She screams as each stroke enflames her bottom like a swarm of angry bees, but the end is not yet in sight. Of the ten strokes that I’d decided to inflict upon her, only three have been felt. Seven more would yet stripe her backside before her punishment would be complete. Two more of these whip across her unprotected derriere in quick succession, burning lines of fire across her increasingly tender flesh.
By now, the entire manor can surely hear her cries of anguish, and will know that she’s being firmly dealt with. This will hopefully be enough to convince my wife that the matter is being dealt with sufficiently, and further recourse won’t be necessary. This will be important if the young maid is to continue in our employ. To further ensure that this impression is given to anyone who may overhear the maid’s ordeal, the final five strokes land in a frenzy, snapping loudly so that any listeners will be convinced of the fury of the servant’s thrashing.
With the maid now sobbing bitterly across my desk, I place the birch on the desk in front of her and return to my seat. I lean forward just enough to stroke the girl’s head as she cries. I inform her that her punishment is complete, speaking softly to console her. She is reminded, though, that further transgressions will earn further punishments, and she will come to know this study well, in time.
Once she calms down, I allow her to dress, but ask her to stay and rest before returning to her duties. She pulls her drawers back up, and then retrieves her dress. Unable to sit down comfortably, she stands with her hands folded in front of her, trying to regain her full composure. I stand and walk over to her, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Not accustomed to being treated so gently by her betters, she isn’t sure how to interpret my kindness, but leans slightly towards me in enjoyment of my touch.
Sensing her need for closeness, I put an arm around her and pull her towards me to rest her body against mine. She allows herself to be held, realizing that she truly wants to please her Lord, not just because of the punishment that would come with displeasure, but simply because she wants to serve me well. Wrapping my arms gently around her, I give her a couple of playful pats to her sore bottom. She squeals in response, leaning against me more. She then puts her arms around my neck and puts on a pretty pout.
I then give her bottom a gentle squeeze through the many layers of fabric, commenting that her bottom was likely as marked as it was sore. Having not seen her own bottom, she is unsure. I soon coax her back out of her dress and drawers, urging her towards a mirror to see the effects. As our seduction becomes bolder, she is soon completely naked before me. It is then that I take her and begin her lessons on how to truly please her Lord.
