Reins story
<Previous part - Forgotten Barn - part II>
"Our master passionately loved harsh discipline, hard labour, public nudity, and especially corporal punishment. He punished his farmworkers in many exotic ways. He loved to feast his eyes on their strong broad backs and naked asses. And when that ass or back was nicely reddened, he was in heaven!”
“Oh, this is my idea of heaven as well,” said Cane. “You won’t believe what I have experienced with our master. I can’t count how many times he tied up thieves, farmworkers, and army cadets and forced them to bend over. That’s when I came into action. There were many screams, moans, and cries when I was doing my work. They all got what they deserved. The Master spared no one. Some boys wept after only the third stroke. Others pretended to be brave and tough, but in the end they all begged for mercy. I don't remember any young man whom I couldn't break. Whether their asses were hairy and muscular or smooth and firm, they all faced the same fate… Me!”
“So true,” Reins chimed in from his place hanging on the wall. “The Master would also use me from time to time, and when we got to work, the sound of lashes on the bare buttocks and back echoed all over the village. So many times the Master unhooked us from the bridle and swung us neatly over a lifted ass. In addition to the crack of leather, there were often suppressed moans and sometimes even crying as we slashed across a sorry lad’s tight skin again and again. We left beautiful red stripes from the back to the thighs. You should see young Sam, son of a leatherworker from the village”.
“I know the lad,” said Cane. "I wish I could have given the arrogant young man a lesson in manners. What did he do this time?” Cane asked, a little saddened that she wasn’t the only one punishing boys so effectively. She never thought that Whip and Reins had such a significant role in training naughty farm rednecks. She used to believe that she was unique.
“He robbed our farmer,” Reins revealed.
“Wow!” exclaimed Cane. “The punishment for robbery is one of the worst! I could feel how angry our Lord was while he used me once before on a thief’s buttocks. That caning seemed to go on forever!” Cane warmed with the memory.
Reins made a small noise of agreement and continued their story. “We were traveling along the dirt road with the hayrack wagon. Suddenly, the Master pulls us up sharply to stop the horses and dashes into the orchard. After a while, he emerged from the trees dragging Sam by the ear. He brought him over to the carriage and told him to strip. The Lord bound his wrist and tossed the other end of the rope over a branch so high that the thief had to stand on his toes. He released us from the bridle and then used us to whip him properly on the back and butt.”
“How much did he get?” asked the whip with obvious interest.
“We do not know,” replied Reins. “About a hundred and fifty lashes or more; We lost count. Before the punishment was even halfway through the writhing boy pleaded with our Master to stop. He was crying like a child and pulling himself up trying to escape from our punishment. But Lord just continued whipping him making him scream and twist his bound body against the rope."
“Master really hates thievery,” agreed Cane. “I can just imagine how much energy he put into the punishment.”
“Absolutely right,” said Reins. “It was intense! And when it was all over, the young man was left dangling from the tree. The master told him that his red ass and wounded body would be an excellent example for others. That’s how Sam ended up."
“Oh! That wasn’t the end of his torment,” exclaimed Cane excitedly. “Before his father came and took him down, all workers on their way to the mill saw his naked body hanging vulnerable and broken. The old leatherworker even gave him a few more smacks for good measure when he got him home. I know because I was visiting his workshop with our Master and I heard the conversation.”
“Oh Sam. What am I going to do with you?” Cane imitated a tearful leatherworker’s voice.
Then, mimicking the Lord’s voice, Cane cried, “Spank the young brat and keep spanking him. It’s the only way!”
“Our Master then gave his friend some ideas for using the various leather implements lying around the shop to discipline the boy. The old leatherworker called the boy over and ordered him to strip again.”
“Bend over and grab your ankles, boy!”
“Trembling, Sam did as he was told,” continued Cane. “I got really excited seeing his exposed red buttocks, but I didn’t get to touch them. Together, our Master and his friend tested several leather implements on his raw cheeks. With every hit, the boy jumped and cried, ‘Please, Daddy, no more!’ Wanting to impress the Lord, the father ignored his son’s pleas and continued to punish him harshly. With an evil glint in his eyes, Master asked Sam which tool he would most like to avoid. The stupid boy picked up the tawse. It was the implement that hurt the most. Master said ‘From now on, this will be your nemesis.’ He nodded at the old man who spanked him with it until the boy was fully in tears.” Cane paused, savoring the memory.
“Tawse later boasted that after his performances Sam could not sit down. And I believe it’s true. Tawse is a very talented tool. But of course nowhere near as effective as I!” boasted Cane.
“The boy should be glad that he wasn't dealing with me!” said the whip. “If I had given him as many lashes as you, Reins, he wouldn’t have been able to crawl home.”
“We all have our talents,” the reins stated quietly.
