Round Four

"Please Master. There is no need for any punishment. If you would only permit me another chance I believe I coul-mmrph" Syndra's thoughts exploded into sheer panic as hard rubber object was shoved between her teeth, stealing away any chance she had to reason with her captor. Zed watched in pure delight as his shadows buckled the shiny red ball gag tightly behind Syndra's head. With his plaything's eyes locked away by the blindfold Zed couldn't see the mixture of fear and excitement that filled them, however he knew full well that the humiliated Ionian was in a mental panic. A slight nod from their cruel master was all it took for the shadows to begin binding Syndra's arms mercilessly tight behind her, tying her wrists first before making short work of her elbows. Syndra's lacy black bra threatened to snap when they finished their work. Having already shortened the skimpy garment in order to temporarily fix it, Syndra was certain it wouldn't hold much longer with the added pressure her ample breasts now placed upon it.

The blindfold made even the slightest breeze torturous to her. An attack could come at any moment and Syndra wouldn't be able to prepare herself for the blow, much less defend her increasingly exposed body. "Pwheez…plheez dnn't pnnishh me. I'wl be guud!" Syndra begged from behind her ball gag, drool sliding out around the edges and falling onto her chest as she attempted to speak. "But bad girls deserve to be punished. Now listen closely while I explain the rules of this little punishment round." The words were as cold as the frigid water she was subjected to not but half an hour ago. Despite being wracked from constant anxiety due to the blindfold, Syndra made her best attempt to calm herself so that she may fully hear and understand this monster's game.

"My shadows have taken the liberty of removing any rocks and branches that covered the path directly ahead of you, giving you as even a surface as possible out here." Syndra listened intently to the rules, focusing on nothing else until the sound of frantic shuffling and aggravated grunts hit her ears. "20 feet ahead of you there is a stump with a leather riding crop resting on it. Upon arrival you are to bend over the stump and beg me in earnest to use the crop on you." A hot blush spread across Syndra as she continued to listen to his twisted game, dismissing the earlier distraction from her mind. "You get two attempts to make it to the objective, falling means failure. If you are unable to reach the stump in those two attempts you will be taking another cold bath…however, this time it will be in the nude. Are we clear?"

"Ysh Mshter, we rr crear" Syndra replied, drool once again dropping onto her chest and absorbing into her bra. Her blush increased furiously when shadows began binding her ankles, knees (above and bellow), and thighs together with rope. "You didn't think you'd just be walking over there now did you? Now hop. Let me see this sexy body of your bounce as you work for your punishment!" Zed commanded, giving Syndra's panty-clad ass a sharp slap to get her moving. Syndra bounded forward when Zed's rough hand came in contact with her rear, hopping twice before steadying herself. Her assets jiggled with every jump her scantly clad body made, the loud whistles and vulgar comments that followed serving as a reminder that she was "putting on a show". Syndra subconsciously began to run through a list of her emotions as she continued her assigned task. Humiliated *hop* Degraded *hop* Infuriated *hop* Arrouse-*thud*. Syndra hit the forest floor hard, shaking her head back and forth in denial of her own feelings.

Zed chuckled to himself as he moved to stand over the bound Ionian. "Here…let me help you up." Taking hold of Syndra's shoulders, Zed pulled her to her feet and brushed her off. A small moan escaped Syndra's gagged lips as Zed began to massage her breasts, the Order's leader admiring just how well endowed his captive is while doing so. "Since this is a punishment round…" Zed traced the lace pattern of Syndra's incredibly snug bra before snaking a finger into her cleavage and pushing the twig free from the clasp. Syndra's eyes went wide behind her blindfold as her breasts bounced free, her lacy black bra cups dangling loosely at her sides. "everything has repercussions." Syndra nearly melted when Zed began to caress and knead her bare breasts. On the one hand she was utterly infuriated and humiliated by his underhanded removal of one of her final remaining articles of clothing, but on the other she couldn't help but truly enjoy all of the attention and affection she was receiving from this man.

Perhaps if the two of us were alone…

A sharp pinch of her nipples was all that was required to once again pull Syndra back from her thoughts and into reality. "Now get back to bouncing. The crop is waiting." Zed teased as he pulled away from her entirely so she may continue her task. With an aggravated grunt Syndra leapt forward, her bouncing breasts on full display to Zed and his Order as she landed. With another three hops Syndra was nearly there. "One more hop and you'll be there" Zed hastily informed his captive, his eagerness to paint her body red with the crop was beginning to show through. One final hop was all it took for Syndra to feel the roots of the stump beneath her high-heeled boots. With great reluctance Syndra fell to her knees and bent over as instructed. Much to her embarrassment the stump was fairly small, forcing her breasts to hang freely just over the edge. She could feel the leather crop lying next to her against her bare torso, reminding her of the final part of her assignment.

"Plhzz uze thhs on me! Spnnk me Mhsstr Zdd!" Syndra begged in earnest, waving her panty-clad bottom back and forth in hope of pleasing her mas…captor. Zed grinned behind his lifeless mask as he took hold of the crop, smacking the tool against his hand as he stalked circles around her. Tension was building inside Syndra by the second. With no way of knowing when the first blow would land upon her exposed skin, Syndra could only shut her eyes and curl her toes tightly as she waited in anticipation. Perhaps he decided against it?...Maybe he knows I've already learned my -*SMACK!* Syndra roiled on the stump as her bare breasts were struck hard. "Mmmrphh" Syndra growled into her gag as the assault on her chest continued, the stinging heat already setting in. When Zed was satisfied with the color he added to his captive's breasts he moved behind her before bringing the crop down up her panty-clad ass cheeks. Syndra was panting madly, drool spilling upon her own body and the ground as Zed rained down blow after blow.

Sydra swiftly found that her cheeks were not her mast…her captor's (she had to stop doing that) target. When the crop connected with her barely covered womanhood she nearly exploded in a mixture of torturous pain and sweet pleasure. Her body began to glisten from the exertion of her struggles, combined with the stinging heat of the spanking she was receiving and…Well, Syndra hated to admit it but she was quickly becoming a hot mess. The sweltering heat was consuming her, turning her into heaving volcano of swirling emotions as she struggled to maintain any composure at all. She danced along the edge of unconsciousness when finally Zed's otherwises relentless assault was brought to a halt by own of his own men.

"Master. Your other…guest…is ready." The shadow spoke softly while taking a knee before the pair. Zed merely nodded as he set the crop down onto the small of Syndra's back. "I will be back shortly my plaything. It seems another contestant is ready to join our little game."
