There was some kind of “furniture” with two A-frames separated by a bar that was about five feet in length. It had chains and restraints hanging from it, and the frames were taller than she was. Some kind of leather and chain sling hung from one corner and there were a variety of tables and benches. The thing that struck her the hardest was seeing the great X-shaped cross up against one wall. It was wooden with restraints at all four ends of it.
Mouth open, she looked up at Drew and he gestured with the flogger toward the cross. “Time for your punishment.”
She stared at the cross. “I don’t think so.”
“Sarah,” Drew said in a barely tolerant tone. “You have two choices. Accept your punishment and continue. Or say your safe word and leave.”
Crap. One thing she never did was back down from a challenge. And God, after their kiss and the way he’d touched her, she was so fucking horny, she could hardly stand it.
She raised her chin. Paused. Then said, “Okay.”
“Okay…what?” Drew asked, his voice even firmer. “You’ve already earned a second punishment for having to be reminded again.”
Two ? Her gaze snapped to his and she met his smoky brown eyes. “Okay, Master .”
He pointed the flogger at the X again. “Face forward on the St. Andrew’s cross.”
So that’s what it was.

Taking It Personal
Her belly fluttered. “Yes, Master.” She slowly walked up to the cross feeling like she was approaching her doom. She pressed one of her cheeks flat against the X as she moved herself against it.
Drew came up behind her and she felt his body heat along with the scrape of his jeans across her ass, which was still a little sore from being spanked yesterday. His grasp was firm as he raised first one of her hands, then the next, anchoring her wrists with leather cuffs. He restrained her high enough that she stood on her tiptoes. She gasped when he took one of her ankles and clasped a leather cuff around it. If her wrists weren’t so firmly bound, she would have fallen.
When he fastened her other ankle to the cross, so many sensations bombarded her at once. Her breasts and her mound were pressed tight against the smooth wood, her naked body splayed wide and her pussy so wet she could smell her musk. The fact that Drew was staring at her from behind was an erotic sensation all on its own. And being up off the floor and held only by the straps gave her the sensation of flying. Always with him she felt like she was flying. He was a high all unto himself.
When he trailed the suede straps down her spine, it caused her to shiver and she caught her breath. Immediately her body tensed. He was going to strike her with that flogger, and she didn’t know just how much it would hurt, considering how sore her ass still was.
“How does this feel?” he asked as he brushed the flogger across her shoulders then went down her spine to her ass.
She had to take a deep breath to be able to speak. “Good, Master. It feels good.” She couldn’t see him from where he was standing, but she imagined his smile. He had such a sexy, irresistible smile.
Drew brushed each of her thighs slowly, then her calves and ankles with the soft leather, finishing at her feet. She was grateful she wasn’t ticklish as he trailed the flogger up and down the arch of each of her feet.

She started to relax into the caress of the suede against her flesh, her eyelids lowering. It soothed her at the same time it made her more aroused. This she could get used to.
The flogger snapped against one of her ass cheeks and she cried out. Her eyes went wide. He struck her again, on the other cheek this time, and tears instantly beat at the backs of her eyes.
Fuck, that hurt . Maybe she should shout her safe word and get the hell out of this place.
But damned if she’d give up.
If you dare …the note had said.
He flogged her thighs, her calves, her ass again and even her back. She cried out with
