The Assignment
**************

Kin felt himself nodding off again, and jerked himself back awake. He
was having enough problems in this class without sleeping in it, even though
it was boring as hell. He couldn't wait to get back to the apartment - back
to Mistress Deanna. She had said that so far, he had pleased her, but that
she had one more test for him. He felt himself grow with the thought, and
smiled. "Maybe class won't be so bad after all," he thought as the professor
started to hand out assignments.
Later that night, as Kin prepared to do his homework, Deanna approached
him.
"I want to try something a bit different tonight, as part of your test.
Stand and strip for me."
Kin stood, smiling, and slowly stripped in the manner his Mistress
instructed him to do. He slipped off each article of clothing, and bowed to
her after it was off and folded neatly on the floor beside him. When he came
to his belt, he took it off, but instead of bowing, he knelt in front of
her.
Bowing his head, he presented his belt as a gift to her.
"May I present this leather tool of punishment to you, my Mistress, in
the hope that it may be used to warm my cheeks later?"
Deanna smiled, well pleased, and taking the belt, she doubled it over
and laid the doubled end on his shoulder.
"Arise, slave, and continue to strip for me."
Kin stood and continued to undress, stopping to bow again as each
article was removed. When he finished, he knelt and bent over so that his
forehead was touching the floor, and waited for his Mistress to acknowledge
that he had completed the task she had assigned to him. He heard her turn,
heard her walk away, heard her moving things around, and finally, heard her
returning steps.
"Stand."
He stood, and his eyes widened in shock at the tools in her hand. She
handed him the collar, instructing him to put it on. Carefully, Kin attached
the collar, making sure his hair wasnt caught underneath, pulling it tight
enough to give that restricted feeling, but loose enough to allow him to
breathe. The wide black leather held his chin up high, the d-rings clinked
against their rivets quietly. He blushed, firmly aware of the implications
of the collar. He was hers to train and command as she wished. There was no
backing out now even if he had wanted to.
Deanna brandished a very short length of chain.
"Sit at the table."
He sat, realizing that the wrought iron backed chair had a new purpose
for the evening. The cool iron burned into his back, and he squirmed. He
didn't know what his Mistress had in store for him, but he was fully aware
that he was soon to find out. Deanna used the short chain to buckle his
collar to the chair, and then using a pair of wide ankle cuffs for each leg,
she cuffed his legs to the end of the chair. She then snapped a pair of
handcuffs on him, hands in front of his body. Both of them knew the
excitement that Kin felt.
"Now... here is the deal. I have looked over your assignment for this
evening, and have accordingly chosen an appropriate task for your test."
Deanna handed him a pen and a stack of paper, and a dictionary.
"Your test will be that of concentration and control. Your professor
gave you the assignment of writing a 3-page essay on the connotations and
denotations of 2-word-opposites of your choice. I have chosed the words you
will use, and I have added to the assignment."
Kin shook with anticipation and dread. He watched as Deanna obtained
some ice from the freezer, a feather, and a straight pin. He watched as she
meticulously arranged them on a small tray. He shivered with excitement as
Deanna smiled.
"You will write about the words 'Master/Mistress' and 'Slave'. You
are to focus completely on your paper, and it will be finished in one hour.
Understood?"
He nodded, and returned her smile, waiting for her signal to begin.
"One more thing - you are not to cum until I okay your essay.
Spelling errors and gramatical errors will result in mild punishment.
Incoherence will result in serious punishment. Ready? Begin."
Both Kin and Deanna set to work... each intent on out-distancing the
other.
