The large open office area was entirely empty when Samantha arrived. No-one had been here all day probably, it was a national holiday, nobody would be working. All the desks were empty, the screens turned off, chairs pushed under their desks. It was eerily quiet, yet this was not what made Samantha so nervous. 

She’d been here before, in this quiet, empty office. Usually after hours, when everyone had returned home. Samantha had regularly stayed behind, summoned by her boss to see him in his office after work. It was him that made her nervous. He was in his private office, waiting for her. But she was early, and arriving early was just as frowned upon as arriving late, so she nervously waited for the time to come, the time when she’d knock on his door and be called to enter. 

Samantha wasn’t nervous because she was afraid of her boss, or afraid of what would happen after she was called into his office. She was never scared, not when he scolded her for being late, spanked her for her lazy work-ethic or reprimanded her for inappropriate behavior. She loved it when he punished her, put her across his knee, bared her bottom, bent her over his desk, paddled her behind… 

She was just nervous because… well, how could you not be nervous, knowing you’d soon be squealing and moaning, your bottom on fire whilst your boss told you what a naughty girl you’d been? 

It hadn’t always been this way of course. When she just started working here, her boss had just been Jonathan, like most everyone else called him. Nowadays she only addressed him as Sir and hoped her colleagues didn’t catch on. It had been during a company outing that Samantha’s deeply rooted fantasy of being disciplined and dominated had been discovered, and matched by Jonathan’s desire to control and punish the beautiful young woman that worked for him. A fair bit of alcohol had been to blame for that secret to come to light, but the following day, when their heads were once again clear, those drunken ramblings had not been forgotten and Samantha had received her first spanking from her boss’ hand. 

That had been two years ago now and Samantha had grown accustomed to her boss’ authority. She looked forward to his discipline. It had never grown into something more intimate however, though neither of them made a secret of their arousal and excitement during those events. The fact that her discipline retained a veneer of professionalism, was what turned her on the most. 

 *** 

 In the elevator up to the second floor, Alex once again reread the email on her phone. It was a short message, but with clear and exciting significance. It read: 

 Alex 

 Last week during our mandatory company team-building activity, it came to my attention that you were not present for the event. 

Since you did not provide any reasonable excuse, nor any advance notice, I can only conclude that this was an unauthorized absence. 

 In my previous mail, announcing this event several weeks prior, I warned that there would be serious consequences for those that would decide not to attend. 

I therefore demand your presence this Friday at my office, one-o-clock sharp. 

 Jonathan 

 Reading this made Alex’ heart race, her skin tingle, and butterflies churning her stomach. There was no further explanation of why she was summoned, or what the consequences were for not attending the initial event. But Alex knew exactly what to expect: A trip across her boss’ knee, a sore red bottom, squealing, moaning, kicking her legs until she begged for mercy. 

The elevator doors suddenly opened and she jumped in surprise, lost in her fantasies. 

Excitedly Alex made her way to the company’s large open office. She’d missed the large team-building event on purpose of course. In his initial mail, announcing the event, Jonathan had said he’d be deeply disappointed in anyone who did not attend. Deeply disappointed was one of his favorite phrases whenever he scolded her in his office, though he usually said it with a sarcastic smile, right before baring her backside and showing he wasn’t disappointed at all with the opportunity to spank her. It was almost like a hidden message meant just for her. 

When she stepped through the office doors, looking at her watch to make sure she wasn’t too early, Alex was suddenly surprised to see Samantha standing outside their boss’ office. 

The other woman blushed as she saw her enter and Alex could feel the same heat rising on her cheeks. “Oh, hi Samantha,” she greeted her. 

“Hi…” Samantha replied, “You’re not working today, are you?” 

Alex shook her head, “No, I…” What could she tell her? Alex looked the other woman up and down, noticing her stance, feet together, arms nervously held out in front, slight pink blush on her cheeks… “Did you miss the team-building event too?” she asked. 

Samantha’s blush deepened significantly, “I…” 

“You got that mail too, huh?” Alex asked, suddenly charmed by Samantha’s shyness, “Do you think we’re in trouble?” 

The other woman shook her head. “What do you mean?” she asked. 

Alex giggled softly, “Come on… I know the boss is sometimes extra strict with you.” 

Samantha looked stricken. “How do you know?” she asked. 

“I didn’t really,” Alex replied, “But I’d always had my suspicions… How you always address him as Sir, how you reach back to protect your bottom when he raises his voice, how sometimes at your desk, you’re squirming in your seat after you’ve had an early-morning meeting.” 

The other woman’s face was beet-red, her mouth slightly agape as she struggled to answer. 

“Don’t worry,” Alex continued, “I don’t think anyone else would notice… unless of course they received the same kind of treatment.” 

Samantha took a deep breath, surprised, and then slowly regaining her composure. ‘Like you?” She asked. 

Alex nodded, for some reason she didn’t feel as embarrassed as Samantha did, but perhaps that was just because she’d figured it out first. “I can recognize a woman hiding a sore, burning backside, because I’ve been there myself, squirming in my seat.” 

Samantha suddenly giggled, letting out the last tendrils of nervousness. “It does help getting your work done though.” 

Alex grinned, “One of its many advantages…” 

“How long have you been… You know?” Samantha asked, her shyness completely taken over by curiosity. 

“Getting disciplined by our boss?” Alex finished her sentence, “One year next month. You?” 

“About two years now,” Samantha replied. 

Alex raised an eyebrow, “Two years? … Well I guess you’ve been working here a lot longer than I have…” 

“How did it start?” the other woman asked. 

Alex grinned, “I ehm… Let’s just say I enjoy some quite erotic literature in my free time and when trying to save a list of interesting titles for myself, I mixed up my private email-address with that of our boss.” 

Samantha laughed, “That must’ve been quite an interesting conversation.” 

Alex grinned, “It didn’t turn out as difficult as I had feared it would be, but now I know I have you to thank for that. It seems that thanks to you Jonathan already had quite a bit of experience dealing with naughty young employees and their inappropriate fantasies.” 

Samantha grinned, “You’re welcome, I guess.” 

Alex smiled, “So how did it start for you?” 

Samantha raised her shoulders, “A bit too much alcohol at a company event…” 

Alex laughed, “Yeah, that could work too…” 

 *** 

 Less than a minute before one, perfectly on time, Olivia stepped through the door into the company’s large shared office space. She looked up in surprise, seeing Alex and Samatha standing outside their boss’ office. She hadn’t expected anyone else to be here … But then again, if anyone it would’ve been these two. 

The two women looked even more surprised at her arrival than she’d been at their presence. Yet there was no time for a quick chat. Their boss would not put up with tardiness, definitely not on a day like this. Olivia quickly joined the two women and stepped past them to knock on the door to their boss’ private office. 

“Come in!” was called. 

Olivia led the way, pulling open the door and stepping into the office, the two other women following behind her. 

Their boss was seated in his large leather sofa, hair slicked back, pristine suit, legs crossed, expensive watch on his wrist. Olivia could feel the excitement growing inside of her, her mouth going dry as she noticed the stern look on his face. She remembered the first time he’d sat right there on that couch, while she dangled across his knee, bottom bared, squealing and kicking her legs as he peppered her bare bottom with his large, strong hands. 

“Aha, I see everyone is here,” Jonathan greeted them, “I’m glad you all decided to come this time.” 

The three women blushed. 

“I assume you all know why you’re here?” their boss asked. 

Olivia looked left and then right at the two women flanking her. They both looked just as flustered as she felt. 

“Well?” Jonathan asked. 

Olivia swallowed and looked at her colleagues again. By all means they’d have seniority over her, she’d only been working at the company for a few months, but neither of them seemed able to speak. “Because we missed the company event last week, Sir,” she replied. 

“Missed, or skipped on purpose…” their boss replied, “Though I’ll keep that in the middle, the consequences are the same after all.” 

He stood up out of his seat, crossing his arms in front of him. “Normally I’d deal with this in private,” he said, “But since this was a team-building activity you missed, I thought it would be prudent to turn this into a bit of a team-building activity as well.” 

Olivia’s blush deepened, looking again at the two women beside her. Yet her excitement only grew, imagining that this wouldn’t be a one-on-one session with her boss. 

“Does any one of you have a problem with that?” their boss asked. 

Olivia shook her head. “No, sir,” she replied. 

The other’s responses came just as quickly and confidently. They seemed just as excited as she was. The thought made her smile, she wouldn’t want anyone to be forced into this, but she was pretty sure Jonathan wouldn’t allow for that to happen anyway. 

“Good, because I’ve prepared a special team-building exercise for you three naughty young women today,” their boss continued, “I first need to make a quick phone-call. In the meantime, you three can wait here and introduce yourselves to one-another if you don’t know each-other very well yet… Because I can assure you, that a couple of hours from now you’ll know each-other quite intimately.” 

 *** 

 Samantha’s knees felt weak, her head was spinning, no thoughts could take root in her mind as it was always quickly pushed aside by the next. Blushing, nervous, excited, she watched her boss leave, wondering what he had in store for her… for her and the other two women beside her. 

“Eh, so… hi,” Olivia said. 

Samantha shook her head, turning away from the door through which their boss had just left. “Hi,” she replied weakly. 

She looked in surprise at the third woman who had joined her and Alex at the very last minute. Olivia was new at the company, their very last recruit, she’d only been working here for two months. She couldn’t imagine how she’d gotten to know this side of their boss in such a short time… And even then, she was Olivia: always on time, always proper, a hard worker, made no mistakes… She couldn’t think of any reason why she’d be called into their boss' office like her or Alex… 

“You know, you two were at the top of my list when Jonathan told me he had two other employees that needed some regular discipline,” Olivia said with a grin. 

Samantha felt her face grow red and saw Alex immediately color up as well. “He told you that?” she asked incredulously. 

“Well, he didn’t give me any names of course,” Olivia replied, “And it wasn’t until I started working here that I started figuring out who it might be.” 

Curiosity took the upper-hand again and Samantha could feel her indignation diminish. “You knew before you started working here?” she asked. 

Olivia nodded, “Yeah, it’s one of the reasons I wanted to work here. It’s always been a fantasy of mine to have a strict boss and Jonathan and I have been friends for a while, I knew I could trust him.” 

Samantha shook her head in disbelief. At least it explained how a new hire would get caught up in this. 

“You know, I kinda figured Samantha out myself as well,” Alex suddenly said, “But you, I’d never have guessed.” 

Olivia giggled, “Well, I haven’t really had time to get in trouble yet. I wanted to make a good impression in my first few weeks at the company…” 

Alex grinned, “So he hasn’t had to spank you yet?” she asked. 

Olivia shrugged, “Not as my boss… We’ve been friends a long time before that though… Unless you count that spanking during my job interview. Technically he wasn’t yet my boss back then though, and he told me it only served as some kind of preliminary showing.” 

Samantha laughed, “Sure, it’s important during a job interview to ask about all the perks that come with the job.” 

The three women giggled. 

“I see you’re all excited about today’s team-building activities,” Jonathan’s voice loudly claimed over their laughter. He’d just returned, holding open the door of his office. “Time to go. I have a special location reserved for today’s activities” 

Samantha’s eyes raised in surprise. They weren’t doing this in his office? Where were they going? Curiously, she was the first one out of the room, eager to find out what their boss had in store for them. As she passed him on the way out, she felt the sharp slap of his hand connecting with her bottom. She jumped up in surprise, turning around just in time to see Alex jump as well. Olivia followed last, you could see the excitement on her face, having seen the two women in front of her, knowing what was about to happen. The excited smile turned into a gasping ‘oh’ as a loud smack landed across her backside. 

Jonathan closed the door to his office and led the three women, bottoms tingling, outside to his car. 

 *** 

 Alex sat in the back of her boss’ car, wedged in the middle between Samantha and Olivia. None of the three women had wanted to take the passenger’s seat, but now with her boss driving in silence, she truly felt like they were a bunch of naughty girls being transported home for their punishment. 

“Where do you think we’re going?” she asked. 

“No idea,” Samantha replied. They were whispering, as if they weren’t sure they were allowed to talk. 

“Do you know, Olivia?” Alex asked, “You know him outside of work after all…” 

Olivia shook her head, “No idea.” 

The three women sat in near silence, looking out the windows as increasingly exciting yet intimidating possibilities presented themselves in their minds, they whispered them to each-other. Alex had heard about certain hotels that had themed rooms with things such as spanking furniture, a cross, a bed with ropes already provided to tie you down… 

“Perhaps he has a playroom of his own, in his house…” Samantha offered, “With shelves full of spanking implements and padded walls so the neighbors can’t hear you scream.” 

“Or in his basement…” Alex added. 

The three women shivered. 

“I’ve been to his house,” Olivia whispered, “I think I’d know if he had such a room.” 

Alex licked her lips, “Then where do you think we’re going?” 

Olivia shrugged, “I don’t know, perhaps it’s nothing like that at all. What if he’s taking us out of town, to some remote, hiking trail in the woods…” 

Samantha leaned in closer. The three women had their heads close together, as if their boss wouldn’t be able to hear what they were whispering. “He might make us cut a branch off a tree and fashion our own switch to spank us with. That would be like a team-building activity, wouldn’t it?” 

“He could bend us over some fallen tree-stump, side by side, testing our self-cut switches on our behinds, to see which one of us made the best one…” Alex added. 

“Or he might take us to the lake,” Olivia offered, “I’ve always thought some of the driftwood you find there could be fashioned into some interesting make-shift paddles.” 

Samantha giggled, “I’m not sure I’d be very good at whittling a paddle from driftwood, but I wouldn’t mind a nice dip in the cold lake to cool down my bottom after he’s tested it on my behind.” 

Olivia grinned, “He’d probably make us strip naked first too…” 

Alex blushed, like Samantha, her relationship with her boss had never been more intimate than a bare bottom spanking could entail and while this meant she’d been more than half-naked in front of him before, the idea of stripping fully naked out on the beach was exciting, yet scary. 

While the three women whispered however, it was obvious that none of these intense guesses or fantasies frightened them, yet they all excited them, some more than others… 

 *** 

 When their boss finally pulled up on the driveway of a large mansion just out of town, it seemed that all of their guesses had been wrong. 

“Is this it?” Samantha asked Olivia, who was looking out through the window. “Is this where he lives?” 

Olivia shook her head, “No, I’ve never been here before.” 

Jonathan turned off the engine and got out of the car, while Olivia and the two other women nervously waited in the back. “Time to come out,” their boss said as he opened the door for them. 

As she got out, Olivia noticed a woman standing by the front door of the mansion, waiting for them. She was sure she didn’t recognize her, she wasn’t any of Jonathan and her shared friends. 

“Do you know who that is?” she asked the other two as they got out of the car. 

They both shook their heads. 

Jonathan in the meantime had grabbed a large duffel bag out of the trunk of his car and closed it with a loud thunk. The three women jumped in surprise. “Let’s go,” he said. 

Nervously Olivia followed the two other women, while Jonathan walked in front. She knew their boss on a more personal level, and yet she felt the most nervous, this was a company outing after all and the others had been working here for much longer than her. 

“Ladies, I’d like to introduce you to Erica,” Jonathan said as they walked up to the front of the building where that unknown woman was waiting for them. “Erica has graciously offered to help us out with our various activities today.” 

Olivia looked in surprise at the woman in front of them. She was tall, especially with her high heels. Long black hair, dark eyes, bright red lips. Only her long brown coat did not really fit her impeccable image. Another participant? Olivia thought. Perhaps some activities needed teams, two vs two… Had she offered to put her butt on the line to participate in whatever their boss had planned for them? No… She could see from the look in her eyes that this woman wasn’t going to let anyone whip her backside. She could feel Erica look her up and down. Definitely not, she would be the one wielding the whip. 

“Is everyone okay with that?” Jonathan asked, once again confirming their consent. 

“Yes, Sir,” Olivia replied. 

“Yes, Sir,” the other two mimicked her. She could see Samantha biting her lower lip, she was obviously turned on by the idea of being dominated by this beautiful, compelling woman. Olivia blushed, feeling her own gnawing arousal in her lower belly. 

“Let’s get inside then,” the woman said, “We can do the rest of the introductions once we’re comfortable.” She had a beautiful, melodious voice. Yet at the same time it was demanding, she hadn’t made a request. Obediently the three women followed her inside. 

Their boss came in last, closing the door behind them, a loud thump locking them in. 

 *** 

 Samantha silently followed the woman inside. What was happening? What had Jonathan planned for them? Who was this woman, was she what she thought she was? 

Erica led them into a large sitting area. “Please, sit,” she told them, a gentle request that felt like a command. 

A large, red chesterfield sofa stood against one side of the room. Two more, smaller arm-chairs stood on opposite sides. Without thinking Samantha sat down in the larger one, Alex and Olivia sliding in beside her. Jonathan took a chair for himself, leaving the last one for Erica. 

“My dear friend Jonathan told me that you three, naughty young women did not wish to participate in your company’s team-building activities. Is that true?” Erica asked. 

Samantha blushed, nodding her head. She could see from the corner of her eyes the others doing so as well. 

“But you’re here today to make up for it,” Erica continued, “Jonathan and I have come up with a couple of very fun activities that I’m sure you’ll love, so… Tell me a bit about yourself, what’s your name?” 

Samantha licked her lips, she could feel the woman’s eyes burning into her, as if she was being picked out. “I’m Samantha,” she replied. 

“Why didn’t you want to go to the team-building event, Samantha?” Erica asked. 

Samantha blushed, she looked at her boss from the corner of her eyes, but he was just grinning, happy to let Erica do the talking for now. “I had a feeling that there would be more interesting activities in the future… If I skipped this one,” she replied. 

A beautiful smile crept on Erica’s face. “Very honest, I like it,” she replied. “By more interesting activities you mean a good, firm spanking, I assume?” 

Samantha’s blush deepened, “Yes…” 

Erica’s attention seemed to shift to Olivia who was sitting beside her, “And you?” she asked. 

“My name’s Olivia,” she replied. 

Samantha took a deep breath, now that the attention was no longer on her. 

“And why didn’t you attend the event, Olivia?” Erica asked. 

There was a short pause. “Same reason as Samantha really,” she eventually replied. 

Erica smiled, “Very good, that makes me feel confident that you’ll enjoy today’s activities.” 

Her attention then focussed on Alex, “And finally you, what’s your name and why didn’t you attend the event?” 

Alex blushed slightly, licking her lips before she responded. “Alex, and I also was hoping for a good firm spanking instead.” 

Erica laughed delightedly, a very melodious sound, “Oh, and you’re going to get one, trust me.” She focussed her attention on their boss. “Jonathan, you told me these were a trio of very naughty women, but it seems to me they are very honest and well-behaved.” 

Jonathan smiled, “Oh they can be very accommodating when they want something, or when they know they’re in trouble…” 

Erica focussed back on the three women who simultaneously blushed, “I see… Of course, honesty is all well and good, but that doesn’t redeem the fact that you skipped out on a mandatory exercise young ladies. Luckily, your boss and I have picked out some very fun games that will provide the punishment you deserve and at the same time serve as the team-building exercises you missed out on.” 

She got up out of her chair, looking down at the nervous, yet exciting women. “But first let me get us all a drink, you three in particular look like you’re thirsty.” 

Samantha caught herself licking her lips. She was right, her mouth felt particularly dry… 

 *** 

 Alex didn’t know where to look as they waited for Erica to return. Part of her wanted to look straight ahead, to not garner any more attention, but her curiosity wanted her to look around, to inspect the richly decorated room, to look at the paintings on the wall… 

Luckily it wasn’t long before their host returned. She carried a plate with empty glasses and a clear pitcher of water. Alex had expected some type of alcohol at first, but she was actually happy she wasn’t supposed to get drunk for these planned activities. She emptied her glass in one big gulp, and graciously accepted when Erica offered to fill up her glass again. 

“Now, Jonathan, would you please explain today’s activities?” Erica asked after she sat back down. 

Alex and the other girls turned around to look at their boss. 

“As punishment for not attending the event, all three of you will receive a spanking,” their boss began, “Which should come to no surprise. Before we get to that however, we will be playing five team-building activities. The worse you do at these activities, the more severe your punishment will be. If you do well at them however, your spanking might not be all that bad…” he grinned, pausing for a moment, “The activities will be scored with points, the fewer points you have, the more lenient your eventual punishment shall be. You will of course be competing against each-other for the lowest amount of points.” 

Alex blushed, it was a competition? She looked at the women sitting beside her… That would make things quite interesting… “What kind of activities, Sir?” she asked. 

Jonathan grinned, “Well I don’t want to spoil all the fun, but what I can tell you is that they are very common team-building activities you would expect at any company outing … except, Erica and I added our own, naughty little twist to them.” 

Alex licked her lips, she wondered how you could make those standard, boring activities any fun, but mostly she was curious to what they were. She’d always been quite competitive, and if it meant she might save her bottom from the worst of it, she’d have to go all out today. 

“If you girls feel you are ready for the first activity, then I think it’s time to begin,” Erica suddenly said. 

“I’m ready,” Alex eagerly replied. The other two women chimed in as well, though sounding slightly more nervous. 

“Alright Jonathan, if you could get the ropes ready, I will go prepare myself.” Erica continued. 

Ropes? Alex wondered, as their boss pulled his duffel bag from between his feet. She couldn’t quite see inside of it, as he pulled out several coiled-up lengths of rope, one after the other. It built up to a large collection of eight or nine sets of rope before he closed the bag once more. 

Erica in the meantime had disappeared from the room and while they waited for her to return, Jonathan got up from his seat and dragged a high-backed chair away from the table at the other side of the room. He dragged it to the middle of the sitting area and placed it right in the center. 

Alex couldn’t help but think it was in such a prominent spot so that it could serve as a stage for any of them three to be put over someone’s knee and spanked in front of the others. But then what would the ropes be for? 

Thoughts about the chair were quickly forgotten however, when Erica returned. Her long brown coat was gone and all she was wearing now was a very tight black leather corset, her large breasts were trying to escape from their small leather cups and looked too heavy for the narrow straps hanging from her shoulders. The leather outfit rode high on her hips, leaving them completely bared as it dove narrowly between her soft plump thighs. A short spin as she showed off her outfit to the three breathless women revealed that her bottom was indeed completely bared, round and firm. Narrow leather straps held up the fishnet stockings that ran from halfway her thighs down to her high heels. She wore smooth leather gloves up past her elbows and a tight black choker around her neck finished the ensemble. 

“I knew it,” she heard Samantha whisper. 

There was no way she’d put all of this on in such a short time, she must’ve been wearing it under her coat this whole time. Alex had never really thought about playing with, or submitting to a dominatrix. She always thought those outfits were over the top, too much… But now that she stood face to face with one, her breath was stuck in her throat. 

 *** 

 Olivia took a deep breath. 

She’d been to a BDSM event or two, accompanied by Jonathan even. She’d seen a few dommes, but this, this was something else… 

Screw the team building activities, she thought, just let Erica have her way with me… 

She blushed at the thought, shaking her head to clear her mind. 

“It seems like everyone is ready,” Erica said. She looked stern, no longer smiling like she’d had during their earlier conversation. But still you could see that their stunned silence pleased her. 

Only now, as she raised it up, did Olivia see that she was holding a long, thin riding crop in her right hand. “Time for the first activity,” she said, smacking the riding crop in the palm of her hand. 

“We call this one The Bonding Exercise,” their boss said with a grin. He was facing the three of them, but it was obvious he too had trouble keeping his eyes off Erica. “It’s a two versus one game, but each of you takes turns being the one. The other two will have a short amount of time to use these ropes to tie you up. You will then have ten minutes to free yourself. The faster you escape, the lower your score…” 

Olivia blushed, they had to tie each-other up? 

“Who wants to go first?” Erica asked. 

The three women looked at each-other, none of them speaking up. “I guess I’ll go first,” Olivia said. 

“Great, please take a seat,” Jonathan said, “Samantha and Alex, when I say go, you have to tie Olivia up as best you can. You can use any of these ropes. Erica and I will keep watch to make sure you don’t do anything dangerous.” 

The other two nodded, already stepping forward to inspect the different sets of rope on the floor. Olivia in the meantime made her way to the chair, nervously approaching Erica before she sat down. 

“Don’t worry,” the dominant woman whispered in her ear, “If you want to stop, or if you feel like you’re having a panic attack, just call my name and I’ll come and free you. I have scissors ready.” 

Olivia felt an immediate calm, she understood the concept of a safe-word and while it was weird using her name for that, it did make her feel safe. 

“Everyone ready?” their boss asked. 

Olivia looked at the two women in front of her, she nodded. 

“Ready,” Samantha and Alex replied. 

“You have two and a half minutes,” Jonathan announced, “Start!” 

Her two colleagues grabbed the ropes and immediately set to work. Olivia blushed as they wrapped it tightly across her torso, tying her against the chair. They quickly tried tying her hands behind her back and finally finished by tying her ankles together before their boss called “Time’s up!” 

Time had gone by much faster than Olivia had anticipated, but she felt quite secure, firmly attached to her chair. 

“Everything all right?” Erica asked. 

Olivia nodded, “Yeah, I’m fine.” 

“Alright, you have ten minutes to try and free yourself,” her boss said, “Time starts now.” 

Olivia blushed, she felt like she couldn’t move at all, but she had to try. She could move her legs a bit, push up and almost lift the chair and herself even, but that didn’t really help. She had to get her arms loose first. Breathing heavily, she looked at the two women in front of her, they were grinning broadly, but she wasn’t going to let them win. She calmed herself and focussed on the rope around her wrists: pulling, pushing, she fidgeted until she got one arm free. After that it was only a matter of undoing the knots around her legs and finally around her torso. Triumphantly she stood up after freeing herself from her bonds. 

The three women cheered and even hugged her in celebration. 

“Very well done,” their boss said, “Seven minutes and twenty five seconds. That rounds down to seven points this round.” He’d been keeping time on his watch. 

“Who’s next?” Erica asked. 

Alex volunteered and Olivia quickly moved to stand next to Samantha. “You do her arms behind her back,” she said, “I’ll do her legs.” She felt like the two women had lost a lot of time getting in each-other's way, and to win they’d have to work better together. 

Samantha nodded. 

“Are you ready?” Jonathan asked, after Erica gave the same speech to Alex as she’d given to her. “This time you’ll only have two minutes to tie her up.” 

Olivia gasped, “only two?” 

“It wouldn’t be fair otherwise since you have the added advantage of experience, by not going first,” their boss explained, “Your time starts now.” 

Olivia grabbed a length of rope and quickly kneeled down at Alex’ feet while Samantha went behind her to tie up her arms. She remembered how they’d tied her legs together and how it had left her free to move most of her lower body, making it easy to reach and free herself. She firmly grabbed the woman’s ankles and pulled them apart, spreading her legs. She heard the shocked and surprised gasp of Alex, but ignored it, there wasn’t much time. She tied each of her legs separately to a chair-leg so that she would be unable to move them and she’d have to somehow bend over before being able to free herself. Which would be difficult, because Samantha was already wrapping the rope around her upper torso that would tie her to the back of the chair. 

“Time!” Jonathan called. 

Olivia looked satisfied at her work. Alex looked truly secure and with her legs spread wide and several lengths of rope tied firmly underneath her breasts, quite provocative as well… 

“Everything alright?” Erica asked. 

Alex nodded and Jonathan put his finger on his watch, “Alright, your ten minutes start… now.” 

Olivia looked on in excitement. At first Alex didn’t seem able to move at all. She might not be able to escape before her ten minutes were over. The clock was ticking. But then, eventually, there was movement in her arms, she was pulling loose. Olivia desperately wanted to see how much time had passed on her boss’ watch, they must be close now. Alex was losing precious time unwrapping the rope around her body before she’d be able to bend over and free her legs one by one. Time kept ticking, but finally, Alex freed herself and jumped up. 

Again the three of them hugged and laughed. You couldn’t really tell this was a competition with a spanking on the line, the way they were happy for each-other’s success. 

“Nine minutes and twelve seconds,” their boss said, “that’s nine points for Alex.” 

Olivia grinned, nine points and she only had seven, that meant she was already winning by two. 

“How are we going to do this?” Alex asked, she’d quickly moved up beside her as Samantha went to take her turn on the chair, realizing as well that they’d have to work together. They’d probably get even less time now, so they’d have to be fast. 

“You do her legs,” Olivia said, “I’ll do her arms, I have an idea…” 

Alex nodded, “I’ll do them like you did mine, that was quite… effective.” 

“Everyone ready?” Jonathan asked, “This time you’ll only have one and a half minutes.” 

The three women nodded. 

“And start!” 

Olivia grabbed the rope and quickly kneeled behind the chair. The only way this wouldn’t work, she thought, was if Erica stopped her, if they thought she went too far. First she wrapped the rope around Samantha’s wrists, securing it with a firm knot and then looped it around the chair legs so she could not pull up her arms. So far not too different from what they’d done to her. Olivia had seen quite a bit of bondage however, on some of those events she’d been to with Jonathan she’d seen quite some devilish looking constrictions. Without wasting too much time thinking about it, she grabbed Samantha’s hair, gathering it in her hand like a pony-tail by wrapping the rope around it. The woman gasped in surprise as she pulled, the rope held and carefully she pulled her head backwards, until she was stuck staring at the ceiling whilst Olivia secured the rope to the same knot that was tied around her wrists. 

“Time!” Their boss called. 

Olivia stepped back, hoping her knots would hold. She gave a quick glance at Erica who she noticed was looking at her. The domme raised an eyebrow at her, which made her blush, but made no complaints about her handiwork. 

Olivia joined Alex, who looked slightly impressed, before looking at the woman they’d tied down together. Legs spread wide, chest heaving as her body arched upwards over the back of the chair, she looked uncomfortable, but undeniably hot. They hadn’t had time to tie her upper body to the back of the chair, but Olivia hoped that wouldn’t be necessary. 

“Everything alright?” Erica asked once again. 

There was a short silence, “yes,” Samantha whimpered. 

“Alright,” Jonathan said, “Your ten minutes start… now.” 

There was barely any movement. Any time Samantha tried to fidget with the ropes, there was a soft whimpering sound as she pulled on her own hair. Minutes passed and it didn’t seem like she’d be able to free herself. Olivia almost began to feel bad, thinking she’d gone too far. Then suddenly, Samantha’s head whipped forward, she’d freed her hair. Olivia felt a sudden burst of hope. You can do it, she thought, as the other woman furiously wrestled with the rope around her wrists. 

But too much time had passed. 

“Time’s up!” Jonathan called, while Samantha was still tied down, arms behind her back, legs spread and tied to the legs of her chair. 

“You can stop now,” Erica said, and Samatha finished her struggles. 

“That’s ten points for Samantha,” their boss announced. 

“Not just ten points,” Erica added, she suddenly stood right in front of the chair, placing the tip of her riding crop under Samantha’s chin, pushing her face up to look her in the eyes, “You see, we forgot to mention there’s a penalty if you don’t manage to free yourself in the allotted time.” 

A deep silence followed those words. Olivia could see the nervous look on Samantha’s face and feel the arousal gnawing at her own lower belly, imagining what this penalty might be. 

“Ten swats,” Erica said, “with this,” smacking the riding crop in the palm of her hand. 

Samantha moaned softly, for a split second Olivia wished she could take her place. 

Gently, Erica ran the leather tip of her riding crop over the woman’s inner thighs. With Samantha’s legs spread and tied to the chair and her skirt pushed up high, the dominatrix had a large area of soft pale flesh just above the edge of her stockings to play with. 

“One!” Erica called suddenly and the riding crop flicked through the air, landing with a sharp snap on Samantha’s inner thigh. 

The tied up woman moaned deeply, but was unable to move or escape her punishment. 

Erica took her time, taking careful aim before each swat and calling them all out loudly “Two!” and “Three!” 

Bright red marks appeared on Samantha’s inner thighs, only an inch or two across and they only slowly disappeared. 

After the fifth or sixth swat, Samantha’s moans turned into squeals and Olivia could feel her own bottom and thighs tingling, imagining the stinging pain. It was still early afternoon of course, her own time would soon come. 

Samantha was noticeably out of breath by the time the eighth and ninth smack landed, from arousal more than anything else. She almost seemed disappointed when that last, loud “Ten!” landed. 

“Good girl,” Erica said, before kneeling down beside the woman and gently untying the knots that kept her bound to the chair. 

There was no victory to celebrate this time, but the three women still came together for a hug. Olivia felt assured when Samantha smiled at her, seemingly holding no grudge for how she’d tied her up and made her lose. 

“Lucky you,” she could hear Alex whisper in Samantha’s ear.
