A/N: I've got a couple of very confused people asking me questions, and they left their reviews as guests so I can't respond to them personally, so I will answer their questions here. First of all, yes, this has become a three-way relationship between a Dominant and her two submissives, and Michaela is Olivia's submissive for keeps. Second of all, somebody was very confused about Michaela's sexuality, because a few chapters ago it was mentioned that she was straight, and yet in the last chapter, a female Dominant is putting something inside of her. Michaela believed she was straight, but is beginning to discover something about herself that will be revealed in the next few chapters. I realize it may appear that I left out a huge chunk of information, but I promise there is a method to my madness, just give me some time. Remember, Michaela is really just learning about herself and discovering who she is as a person instead of just a piece of property. Third of all, neither Michaela or Alex are EVER forced to do ANYTHING. This is a CONSENSUAL relationship.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"I want both of my girls kneeling in front of me. Now!"
Olivia was wondering what the hell was in the water and how to get rid of it. There had been nothing but disrespect, backtalk, whining, disobedience, and sass all day long. Michaela had already been swatted twice, and Alex had been swatted three times. Michaela was mad that she didn't get her way during training, and Alex seemed to be taking great delight in tormenting Michaela until the two submissive women were practically rolling around on the floor in a full-blown cat fight. Olivia nearly jumped out of her skin when Michaela suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs, yelling at Alex to leave her alone. On the outside, Olivia was the epitome of a stern Mistress dealing with a naughty little submissive. On the inside, Olivia was turning cartwheels. Michaela was learning that it was okay to stand up for herself, and Olivia was ecstatic about that. However, Alex and Michaela had broken at least three rules and, unfortunately, their bare bottoms were going to pay the price.
It suddenly dawned on Alex and Michaela that they may have crossed a line as they reluctantly dropped to their knees and crawled over to their Mistress, kneeling at her feet and looking up at her with remorse and guilt in their eyes.
"Alexandra Justine, tell me why you girls are in trouble." Olivia spoke firmly.
"Because we have been brats, Ma'am. We have been disobedient and disrespectful and whiny and we have been fighting and talking back to you." Alex hung her head in shame.
"Michaela Rose, tell me what the consequence is for all of those things." Olivia turned her attention to her little redhead.
"A hard spanking on our bare bottoms, Ma'am." Michaela responded sadly.
"You know what to do. I'll be right there."
Alex and Michaela immediately got up and went straight to the bedroom, knowing better than to disobey at this point. They pulled down their pants and panties, and stood in separate corners with their hands on their heads, bare bottoms exposed and ready for their Mistress's strict attention. This was nothing new. They had been punished together several times before.
"Come here, Michaela Rose." Olivia called as she entered the bedroom and sat down on the bed.
Michaela gasped, but she didn't dare protest. She already had tears swimming in her pretty grey eyes as she walked over to her Mistress and stood in front of her. Spankings sucked. Olivia gently guided Michaela into position over her lap and began to spank her with her hand.
"Back to the corner, little girl. Your spanking isn't over yet. Alexandra Justine, come here." Olivia spoke when Michaela's bottom was dark pink.
Michaela stood up from Olivia's lap with tears streaming down her face. She resumed her position in the corner as Alex assumed her position over Olivia's lap. Olivia gave Alex the same hand spanking she had just given Michaela, and paused.
"Stand up, young lady, and bend across the bed. Michaela, come over here and bend across the bed."
Sniffling and whimpering, Alex and Michaela bent across the bed side by side, knowing that they deserved the spankings they were getting. They reached over and grasped each other's hands in a silent show of support. Olivia allowed them to hold hands as she removed the belt from around her slender waist and folded it in half. She placed her hand on the small of Michaela's back to help keep her in place, and brought the belt down, causing Michaela to cry out. Olivia immediately gave Alex a swat with the belt. She alternated between the girls until each of them had received thirty swats with the belt. By this time, Alex and Michaela were crying freely and struggling to keep themselves from reaching back, gripping each other's hands until their knuckles were white.
"Stay there. I'll be right back. No rubbing." Olivia reminded them before exiting the room and returning with the wooden spoon from the kitchen.
"Please, Ma'am!" Alex and Michaela wailed upon Olivia's return to the bedroom. The wooden spoon stung so bad!
"I'm sorry, girls. You were naughty, and now you're paying the price." Olivia brought the spoon down on Alex's bottom, and then Michaela's, alternating until each of them had received another thirty swats. By this time, Alex and Michaela were sobbing uncontrollably like the well-spanked submissives that they were.
"Back to the corner with you." Olivia ordered kindly. There was no need to be stern any longer.
The two submissive women slowly stood up and made their way back to their corners, sobbing and being careful to keep their hands away from their sore, red bottoms. Olivia returned the wooden spoon to the kitchen, and put her belt back on.
"Come here, my loves." Olivia called ten minutes later.
Hearing their Mistress call them her 'loves', Michaela and Alex knew they were forgiven and they burst into tears of relief as they turned from the corner and ran into Olivia's waiting arms.
"There, there. It's all over, my loves. My good girls." Olivia cooed as she cuddled Alex on one knee and Michaela on the other.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am!" they sobbed out.
"I know you're sorry, babies. You are forgiven, totally and completely. No more spanking." Olivia kissed Alex's forehead and gave the same to Michaela, rubbing their heaving backs and cooing tender words of love to them. Olivia helped her girls lie down on the bed on their stomachs and stayed with them, stroking their hair and cooing softly, until they fell asleep.
About an hour later, Olivia looked up from where she was sitting on the couch when she heard a noise, and she smiled sympathetically when she saw Michaela and Alex crawling toward her, still bare bottomed and with red, puffy eyes looking up at her. They were both clearly still in fragile states after their punishments. Olivia allowed Alex and Michaela to rest their heads on her lap while she gently stroked their hair. Alex pulled herself up to sit on Olivia's lap, and Olivia welcomed her with open arms while Michaela knelt on the floor leaning against Olivia's legs with her arms wrapped around them, seemingly trying to fuse their bodies together. All was silent while Olivia cuddled and loved on her girls, softly praising them for accepting their punishments like good girls and reassuring them of her love. She knew she had a reputation within the D/s community as being very strict, but she always did her very best to balance strictness and love. She fully believed that even the hardest of spankings was useless if there was no love to back it up, especially given Michaela's background where there was a lot of punishment and no love. Olivia's submissives were hugged and cuddled more than they were spanked, and Olivia prided herself on that.
