When the Head of Protocol arrived in the square half an hour later, a stage had been set up in the middle, with tiered seating all round it. There were about a hundred men there, with more arriving by the minute. As they all settled down, a naked man was dragged into the square, put on the stage, and loosely chained to a post. The only woman was Princess Zubeydeh in a fresh abaya accompanied by six armed guards and chained to the Chief Eunuch.
Kamal Qumsiyeh mounted the stage and read out the charge, that the man had failed to show proper respect for the authority of the Emir in the precincts of the Golden Palace, "When it was his duty to protect the authority of the Emir, may he live for ever," as the charge sheet put it.
Princess Zubeydeh whispered to the Chief Eunuch, "What will happen to him? Do you know?"
"He will surely die," was the only answer.
Kamal Qumsiyeh called for any man who wanted to buy the criminal to speak now.
'Obviously, since he had offended the Emir, he isn't going to find any takers at any price, ' thought Princess Zubeydeh, 'Anyone buying him would also buy his entire property, goods, money, and women; the down side is that they would also have to accept responsibility for all his previous actions. In the event of a normal business bankruptcy, that is a purely financial risk, but in a case such as this... '
Then someone spoke up, and said that he wondered whether anyone would like to see the man used in an exhibition for as long as he could stay alive. A sort of gladiator contest between this man and some others who were wrestlers at a local sports club. A faction of the crowd thought this was a good idea, but others decried it as old hat. After all, nobody had insulted the Emir in his own Palace for years and so some special punishment was called for.
Kamal Qumsiyeh then said the traditional punishment was flogging to death for such a crime, but that the insult was so serious that flogging didn't seem enough. There were people who suggested hanging him out in the street for anyone to use, or whip, or maltreat, until he died of something. Others suggested the centuries old traditional punishment of being staked out in the desert covered in honey to be eaten alive by the insects. Others had more bizarre ideas still. Princess Zubeydeh wondered what kind of justice this was, when just about anyone could make any suggestion they liked; wasn't it enough that the man was to die? She wondered even more what her son would decide to do.
Just then the Emir arrived in the square; immediately there was quiet, and the Emir went to speak to Kamal Qumsiyeh. Kamal Qumsiyeh then announced that the Emir had decided that the man would be left where he was on the stage and every hour a small part of him would be cut off, a finger or an ear, or a small area of skin, or a portion of flesh, until he died of these wounds. In the mean time he would be fed, given water, and given medical aid as necessary to prolong his life.
Turning to the man, the Emir reached out and, using a knife from his belt, calmly sliced off one of his ears, whereupon a medical attendant started to staunch the flow of blood and to sew up the wound. This was far worse than any whipping; this was pure long drawn out torture.
On the way back to the Golden Palace, Princess Zubeydeh reflected, 'The cruel man who just sliced a man's ear off is the man I raised as my son, to be gentle and kind; moreover he is my lover who stroked me so tenderly at times and gave me a real insight into my own submissive character. What might he not do to me if he chose me again that night?'
She was surprised when a frisson of excitement went from her cunt to her nipples and back at the thought of just how cruel he could be, and was followed by another when she remembered that the punishment the man was to endure was for trying to rape her.
Please be gentle as I have never written anything like this in my life…..this story is a fantasy of mine and has been inspired by someone who I think is an amazing writer and someone I hold as special to me…you know who you are xoxo After leaving high school at 18 I decided I wanted to become a writer and after researching different colleges and specialised schools I stumbled upon the L & C school of writing, the fees were within my budget so I thought …why not I need to learn from someone...
Dick Hardown was the dean of Roughton University. His job wasn't easy, but it was quite rewarding. Yes, the salary and benefits were very nice.

Adam awoke late on Sunday with a large headache and remembered what he could of the previous night. He’d had lots of friends over, and the party had become an orgy of beer, overturned flower pots, broken bottles, and spilt glasses of overproof rum.Adam tried to clear his head. The mob of the night before had been replaced by complete solitude; his stepmother was out in Calgary, and he was king of his own castle, at least until her expected return, which was at 3:00 pm. Adam looked at the clock...
SpankingSusan and John were happily married. Susan definitely wore the trousers so to speak. In fact, Susan demanded John accept not only her decisions but her discipline as well. He regularly made the trip across his wife’s lap to have his bare bottom reddened and his face tear stained. On the other hand though Susan loved her husband dearly, and they both enjoyed the style of life they had chosen. Susan’s old school friend Jackie had come to stay for a few days. Those school days were...
SpankingJoseph had not slept in close proximity with a woman since his wife's passing several years previous. He had hooked up with a few lot lizards but it was just for quick sex and he wasn't sure he could even remember their names. He wasn't sure how young, this young lady was but he was sure any man would find her attractive. He of course had not been with a young woman sexually or even physically in years but it wasn't hard to remember how attractive their smooth skin, tiny waist, wide...
Since I have been writing about discipline and punishment, I might as well go into some more hardcore discipline I’ve had long after I moved away from home.I have served as a submissive—in roleplays, not as a lifestyle—to three different Dominant Men. The discipline has been physical, of course, but that has little meaning useless there is a psychological component. That component gives you a real desire to serve and please Him. Since He knows and respects your limits—although He may push...
GED.TXT Gary's Education & Discipline by Vanessa Y. The city police referred to Gary Edwards as a "regular customer." That was quite a distinction since Gary was only 14 years old. His list of offenses ranged from shoplifting to consumption of alcohol by a minor, to simple assault. He spent as much time being suspended from school as...
As a submissive, I simply adore rules and structure. It’s always been my feeling that just as a well trained dog is a happy dog so too is a well trained slave a happy slave. The reason of course is because when you are aware of your Master’s expectations, you can follow the rules and guidelines set forth and know that you’re going to be pleasing for your owner. My love of mandated requirements tends to come out in my stories as well as you may have noticed. I’ve gone through periods in...
Charlie Swatbetter was sitting at the empty cement lunch table set off to the side of the company parking lot which was intended for use of company employees only. There was only one other employee sitting at a table right next to his but he was not quite certain what her name was or what department she worked in. The employees were supposed to wear their name-tags at all times but this attractive mature woman did not have one on display and he presumed it was because most of the female workers...
Brenda Buttsmit was the lucky one. As she was a mini-minor, that is under the age of 16, at the time and was considered an unwilling participant/ victim in the incident, the only court-ordered repercussion from her Labour Day weekend party was psycho-therapy. Her reputation in the community was another matter. But that became a moot consideration within a year as her family, disgraced and humiliated by her well-publicised actions, chose to move out of town to a land far away. Brenda was lucky....

She wore a long coat to cover her sexy, yet sophisticated outfit while she was still in public.No one knew about this.

She was certain that several of her male colleagues were plotting on ways to fuck her there.Tonight, she...

School Discipline It was so unfair! It didn’t matter what Winona did, it could never be right. And she tried so hard. But whatever she did was judged to be wrong. Her parents thought so. Her teachers thought so. Her headmistress thought so. Her fellow school pupils all agreed. And her bum always had to suffer as a result. It was a rare day that Winona didn’t get a spanking. And usually not just a spanking, but also a caning or a paddling. And every night when she went to bed, her arse...

Do you mind telling me why” Jenny said, the hurt clearly sounding in her voice. Amanda stopped and turned as her friend caught up to her on the street. They were a few blocks from school although not on the route they normally took home. Amanda looked at the sky but if she was hoping for divine intervention to whisk her away or at least inspire her tongue on what to...
I continued to kneel, eyes downcast, his cock and balls filling my entire field of view. I noticed he had become harder, from the friction of his cock over my face no doubt, but even more, I was certain, from the pleasure of literally rubbing my face in my submission. My suffering, whether it be enduring the physical punishment he had recently dealt out, or as now, having my very manhood mocked and challenged, was an unalloyed aphrodisiac for him. Seeing me, a strong and muscular specimen who...

ENFORCED DISCIPLINECHAPTER 1.Cynthia duly arrived at Edward Lassiter's school, a small but ultra-select establishment in a beautiful but lonely part of the Maritime Alps, which catered for awkward girls who required correction and training. As such, it had been chosen by Mrs. Partington, Cynthia's stepmother to receive her for a period. Though some twenty years of age, the girl had been a source of worry and trouble to her stepmother and this had culminated her activities in becoming involved...
The next day's beginning could not have been more surprising for Janet. She had slept deeply in her jail cell, and so had Tiffany. Janet had rolled over bed, finally coming awake. Abruptly she realized where she was and what she had seen the previous night. Janet felt the collar around her neck, and the chain leading to the wall. Just for emphasis she pulled on the chain which had no effect. There was nothing that a naked girl could do against the implacable nature of steel. "Good...
My first day at the Manor had been exotic and by eight that evening Iris suggested I’d earnt an early night. So, making my way upstairs and along the landing I entered the cosy guest bedroom. By nine I’d climbed into the comfy old bed, my head sinking luxuriously into the large puffy pillow. The sensuality of being in Iris’s company began filling my thoughts and my hand crept between my thighs and into my snatch; I began masturbating; then shortly, I heard someone knocking softly at the...

EroticMeanwhile in the Embassy, the ex-Ambassador's wife was appalled to find that she was locked in a small bare room, and her tongue had indeed been bound tight with string and that the string was getting tighter as it got damper. Her daughter was in the Ambassador's study with the Acting Ambassador, Khalid Hourani, and was not enjoying the experience. "Strip," he ordered her. "Why?" she whined, "What is happening?"

All of them said yes and cheered. Anusha went near the bags that I brought from downstairs. She returned, put a dog leash around my neck, and tied a metal chain. She held the other end and sat on the sofa. She pulled me towards her, and I crawled like a dog. She lifted her leg and told me to lick the bottom of her heels. I licked them properly, and she told me to suck the heel, which I did. All of this was being recorded. Then Anusha kisses her boyfriend, Rahul. Then she made me lick Rahul’s...
I was standing at the window holding my wife Susie close to me as the clock ticked. The alarm went off at exactly the right time, but to our horror the world didn’t end. We held each other for a full five minutes but still life went on. We had to accept the truth of it. The world was still here, our world. Susie looked at me and spoke first. “Shit,” she said. “Crap,” I replied. We both pondered what was now going to happen. What our situation was going to become. The one of our own making. It...
SpankingHome Discipline The highway department had chosen well when they built the ‘scenic overlook’. Looking out from the parking lot at night, the lights of the city spread out like white jewels on a black velvet background.

Even if they could have seen the view through the glass, it would have meant nothing to them. Their thoughts were only for each...
Picture, if you will... and I know you will, for you are there and you have no choice but to see this... picture, as I say, a room, a low-ceilinged room, paneled with dark wood where the paneling is visible, but more obviously richly hung about with thick curtains and tapestries, in such profusion that sounds are muffled and cry from the far side of this room reaches its audience's ears as just a whisper, while a whisper must be attended to very very closely indeed to be heard at all.In the...

Mia owned her house free and clear thanks to her last divorce, well more accurately thanks to having a great attorney. The house sat back into the woods on a half acre of property in Northern Virginia, the basement having been converted into an in-law suite for her aged mother and father. She had no children, no boyfriend, just herself and her parents to take care of nowadays. Her father, Jack, was 69 and a retired aerospace engineer and her mother Doris was 66 and a housewife. They had moved...
Angique cursed, when the heavy clouds of her orgasm lifted. She pushed Alicia away from her crotch. The girl's eyes seemed misted over, her face gleaming with Angique's juices. "So, are you glad now, slut?" she asked, angrily rubbing the tears from her eyes. "Was that why you came back? Is this your revenge on Anna? Did you find out that jealousy is her weakness? Or did you return so you could plunge yet another knife in my back later on?" She closed her robe and kicked the naked girl...

LesbianIt was Arin who was the first to be taken in an abaya into the Ruby Palace and led through passages and down stairs until she came at last into a small room where there was an odd sort of bench to which she was shackled, naked and lying on her back, arms above her head. The metal of the bench was cold at first, but her body heat soon warmed it and she lay quite comfortably waiting for the Emir. If her Master, may he live for ever, wished to chastise her, then it was fair and just. None of the...
When he decided to try out another room in the Ruby Palace's well-stocked torture chambers, he reminded himself that he must be more careful this time. The concubine he used to assist in the experiments must not be allowed to fail him as Arin had. She really had been most inconsiderate, dying when she did, right in the middle of an experiment. This time he would take Ayat with him; he had always considered her as hard as nails. She was obedient and submissive in his bed, but he had no...
When the Emir decided to try out a part of the sixth torture room, he selected Ramzy El-Najjar's grand-daughter, Zeinab, for the privilege of being his experimental assistant. She was prepared as though for his bed, and in that she felt very honoured. An abaya was put on her over her ceremonial harem dressing gown and she was led through a series of passages into the Ruby Palace. She had, by this time, decided that unfortunately it was not the Emir who would use her, but that she was being...
It was cooler in Kobekistan in the autumn, so that was when Tiggs Boush managed to get her editor to pull some strings in the State Department and arrange for the embassy in Kobek to have her allowed in to the country, ostensibly as the significant other of one of the Second Secretaries, since no visitor's visa was forthcoming. She was totally enraged about the treatment of women in Kobekistan even before she arrived, and had already written an exposé of the "shocking lack of civil...
After a few moments a middle-aged woman who was obviously English came into the ante-room and said, conversationally, "You must be the American reporter. Would you like some coffee?" Tiggs stared at her. She had never seen anyone dressed quite as the woman was. She wore a short satin dressing-gown, reaching only to the tops of her thighs and with only a button at the neck and no belt to hold it closed. Other than that she was completely naked, not even wearing slippers. As she walked her...
The next morning Tiggs had two surprises, first that she was assured that if the Chief Eunuch had said she could have a private audience then she would indeed get one. "Nobody in the Palace ever lies," 'her' Second Secretary declared, "They may not tell you the whole truth, and you may have to examine the exact wording of what they say with very great care, but it is always literally true. About something as simple as an audience with the Emir they would not dream of lying. It would be...
The next morning, the Emir visited her again and was pleased to see that she had not been moved from the whipping bench and the blue and purple colour of her flesh showed that there was no part of her anatomy from her heels to the back of her neck which had escaped the whipping, and yet the skin had not been broken. She was asleep, in what seemed to be a perfectly normal sleep, so he woke her with a brisk slap on the left buttock. She screamed awake most satisfactorily. "Please, no more,"...
The Emir had been reading some of the books from the bookcase at the end of the torture suite room and had built himself a novel device he had read about; that is to say, he had personally supervised the eunuchs who did the actual work. The device seemed to be workable, and yet it was so simple. It had been used during the Second World War to extract information from female spies, but some of them had died from its excessive use. The Emir intended to use it as a standard means of execution,...
After the debacle of her failure to gain her freedom by two minutes, something snapped in Rubina's mind and she finally gave in to the pressure and accepted her slavery. However, like so many slaves with strong wills, when she had finally been broken she was more or less useless. She walked around like a zombie for some weeks, doing anything she was told, but doing literally nothing if she had no orders. Someone had to tell her to eat or she would have starved to death. It was only after...
During the months of her captivity and slavery in the Golden Palace and then while she was being trained for the hunt, and hunted, just over a year had passed. During this time her husband, Ernesto Paphardi, was methodically searching for anyone who answered her description. From the note left in their honeymoon suite he knew she had been taken as a revenge matter by Kâtip al-Baghdadi, whom he had swindled. That being so he was convinced they had not killed her. If killing were intended her...
The only possible answer was that she had, as Kâtip had claimed, been sold in one of the slave markets of North Africa where young and beautiful girls of every skin hue changed hands for sizeable sums of money. By dint of persistence and by paying out bribes to many men, he eventually traced her, after several false alarms when he found women of similar descriptions in some very odd places performing some very outré services for their owners, or their owners' clients. Normally he left them...
It was at this juncture, possibly attracted by the loud profanities in a deep voice, that the Chief Eunuch with several juniors came into the store-room and pounced on Ernesto. He fought them valiantly but they bore him down by whips and the force of numbers. He was bound and taken to the Golden Palace's dungeon where he was stripped naked and thrust into a dark, cold cell with no windows, stone walls and a door made of metal bars an inch thick. The floor was bare and the only variation was...
The day after this puzzling meal, the Emir arranged that she should meet Ernesto in the harem, apparently by chance. Looking fearfully around they spoke in whispers. "It is rumoured that the Emir is going to have me made infertile," whispered Rubina, "and I am to be sold as a field slave." "He had me castrated," said her husband, "and I am to serve here in the harem." "Castrated?" asked Rubina, all the colour draining from her face as she remembered the previous day's...
The Emirate of Kobekistan is one of those wonderful places where a visitor feels that they have stepped back into a more leisurely, more dignified era of history, but without sacrificing any of the more useful gadgets of modern civilisation. Air-conditioning protects the inhabitants from the rigours of a sub-tropical climate. Motor cars whisk them from one building to another. Desalination provides ample water. The most modern medical advances are practised in the hospitals. Television shows...
Some ten weeks after his accession, the Emir finally received a fairly friendly letter from the Master of his old college in Oxford inquiring when he was intending to return to complete his Ph.D. There was, of course, no pressure on the Emir but the college would rather like to make use of his rooms if he did not intend to come into residence in the near future. Immediately he resolved to sort out Oxford once and for all. After talking to Kamal Qumsiyeh and Hajji Kofi Natsheh he ordered them...
