Chapter 11

Punishment by Spurs

Daniel, trembling and sweating, licked furiously at the sole of Lady Jenna’s boot, his tongue scraping along the dirt-caked crevices. He knew the pain that would follow any hesitation or show of reluctance. Mistress Vanessa, still watching lazily from above, her heel firmly planted on his chest, seemed to be enjoying the spectacle, relishing his desperate attempts to placate them both. But today, there was a darker cloud looming in the room; the anger radiating from Lady Jenna was palpable, a violent storm brewing just beneath her composed exterior.

Her face, usually a mask of cold indifference, now contorted with fury, made Daniel’s blood run cold. She had returned from the dressage competition not with triumph in her step, but with rage. A second-place finish was unforgivable. The very idea that someone could best her, even in something as trivial as a competition, was an insult to her sense of superiority. And Lady Jenna did not suffer insults lightly. Someone would have to pay.

As Daniel continued to lick, his jaw aching and his throat constricting from the filth he was forced to swallow, Lady Jenna’s voice cut through the air like a blade.

“You bloody, useless vermin,” she spat, her eyes narrowing at him as if he embodied every failure, every frustration. “Do you know what I lost today? Do you understand the humiliation I’ve suffered because of incompetence?”

Her riding boots; gleaming and cruel; were symbols of her dominance, but to Lady Jenna, they were also instruments of punishment. Especially with the attached spurs. Almost  three inches of sharp steel. She relished how they added to her stature, making her appear even more imposing, as if her presence alone wasn’t enough to strike terror into the hearts of the estate’s unfortunate servants. And tonight, Daniel would feel the full weight of her anger.

Without warning, she delivered a swift, savage kick to Daniel’s side with the toe of her boot. The sound of bone and muscle absorbing the blow was dull, sickening. Daniel let out a sharp, involuntary cry of pain, which only incited further wrath from Lady Jenna. Her riding crop lashed out, striking his exposed back again and again with precision and force that only a seasoned hunter like herself could deliver. Each strike sent Daniel reeling, his body twitching under the relentless assault, but he dared not move too much; he knew the consequences.

“Pathetic!” Lady Jenna roared. “You servants are all the same; weak, sniveling, incapable of even the simplest tasks. I left clear instructions, and yet I am embarrassed before my peers because of a servant’s incompetence!”

Daniel could barely hear her over the pounding of his heart and the ringing in his ears from the repeated blows, but her words sliced into him as painfully as the whip. He had seen the other male servants vanish after a failure, dragged away to unspeakable fates, never to be seen again. He knew what awaited him if he didn’t satisfy her.

Lady Jenna paused, breathing heavily, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction as she towered over him. But the pause was short-lived. She wasn’t done yet.

“Turn over,” she commanded coldly, jabbing him in the ribs with her boot for emphasis. Daniel obeyed as quickly as his broken body would allow, rolling onto his back, his vision blurred with pain and humiliation. He felt the pressure of her boot pressing down onto his face, forcing his mouth open against the sole. “Lick it clean. Show me you understand your place.”

With his face pressed into the dirt-encrusted sole, Daniel gagged, fighting the bile rising in his throat. Every instinct screamed at him to stop, to run, but he knew that resisting would only make things worse. His body was wracked with pain from the blows, and every small movement sent a jolt of agony through him, but he continued to lick, each swipe of his tongue adding another layer of degradation to his already shattered pride.

Mistress Vanessa watched with cold amusement, twirling her riding switch between her fingers. She dug her stiletto into Daniel’s chest just a little deeper, adding to his torment. “You aren’t licking with enough enthusiasm, slave,” she remarked with a sneer, her voice dripping with cruel indifference.

With a swift motion, her riding switch slashed across his side, drawing a sharp gasp from him. His body jerked in pain, but Lady Jenna quickly stamped her foot harder into his face, twisting her boot into his cheek to keep him pinned.

“Lick harder, you worthless scum!” Lady Jenna’s voice was filled with venom, and Daniel redoubled his efforts, his tongue scraping painfully along the sole. Every swallow was a battle against nausea, but he couldn’t stop. He knew that the moment he faltered, the punishment would escalate.

Lady Jenna’s expression darkened further, her fury not quite quenched. “This is what you are,” she said, her voice icy. “Less than a bug under my heel. You should be grateful to have even this chance to serve me.”

With a swift movement, she ground the heel of her boot into his mouth, the solid heel mashing his lips painfully against his teeth. Blood seeped from torn lips. He groaned but continued to lick, his face contorted with the effort to hold back his sobs.

And yet, Lady Jenna was unsatisfied. Nothing, it seemed, would soothe her bruised ego tonight. The defeat, no matter how trivial, had cut deep, and there was no limit to her cruelty when she felt disrespected. She turned to Mistress Vanessa with a cold smirk.

“I think he needs more… encouragement,” Lady Jenna said in a low voice. “I don’t think he’s learned his lesson yet.”

Mistress Vanessa, her eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure, nodded. She stepped back, giving Lady Jenna room. Without missing a beat, Lady Jenna drove the sharp spurs of her riding boots into Daniel’s side, hard and fast. The spikes bit into his skin, tearing through flesh, eliciting a scream that echoed off the walls.

“That’s better,” Lady Jenna murmured with satisfaction. She twisted her heel into his side, delighting in his cries of agony. “Maybe now you’ll remember your place.”

Daniel’s body convulsed in pain, and the taste of blood mixed with dirt in his mouth. His vision blurred as the world spun around him, but Lady Jenna’s voice was the only thing that cut through the haze.

“You belong to me,” she whispered coldly, leaning down so that her face was inches from his. “And I will do whatever I please with you.”

As Daniel continued to gag and choke on the dirt from her boots, Lady Jenna straightened, her cruel smile returning. She had found, at last, a way to release her frustration, to regain the sense of control she craved. In her world, there were no limits to her cruelty; no act too degrading, no punishment too severe. Every living thing existed only to serve her whims, to suffer under her heel.

Lady Jenna’s face twisted into a cruel, delighted grin as she stood over Daniel, her gaze fixated on his trembling body. His ragged breath, the barely-contained sobs, only fuelled her sadistic pleasure. The pain she had inflicted thus far was merely the beginning; Daniel was about to learn just how deep her cruelty could run.

Her spurs, still gleaming and wickedly sharp, glinted in the dim light of the stable as she lifted her boot once more. These spurs were not just for show; crafted specifically for the sole purpose of inflicting maximum damage on weak flesh. The metal prongs jutted out like fangs, perfectly engineered to tear through skin, muscle, and bone with every kick. And Lady Jenna knew how to use them with precision.

She brought her boot down hard into his ribs, the sharp spurs biting into his flesh with a sickening crunch. Daniel screamed, his body writhing under the unbearable pain, but his attempt to squirm away was immediately cut short as Lady Jenna slammed her foot into him again, this time driving the spikes deep into his side. His skin split open under the force, and blood began to seep out, staining the ground beneath him.

“Ahh, that’s more like it,” Lady Jenna whispered, her voice a chilling purr. She twisted her boot with relish, feeling the spurs grind against bone, causing Daniel to emit a guttural cry that sent shivers of pleasure up her spine. His suffering was a symphony, and she was the conductor, orchestrating every note of his pain with perfect cruelty.

As she leaned forward, placing even more weight onto her boot, she felt the spurs sink deeper, the flesh giving way easily under the unrelenting pressure. Daniel’s body jerked involuntarily, the agony forcing every muscle to spasm, but Jenna pressed down harder, holding him in place like the trapped, pitiful animal he was.

“Look at you,” she spat, her eyes gleaming with malice. “Squirming like the worm you are. Did you think you could trespass on my estate and escape unpunished? Did you believe that you had any value beyond being my plaything? You’re nothing, Daniel. Nothing.”

Her words were venomous, dripping with contempt as she lifted her boot once more, positioning the spurs directly over his lower back. She took her time, savoring the moment, relishing his trembling, broken form beneath her. Daniel, barely conscious, let out a weak whimper, his body too overwhelmed by pain to fight back any longer.

With deliberate cruelty, she drove her heel down into the small of his back, her spurs puncturing his skin with a sickening crack as they made contact with his spine. Daniel let out an ear-splitting scream, the pain searing through his entire body like fire. Lady Jenna’s heart quickened at the sound, her lips curling into a satisfied smile.

“Yes, scream for me,” she whispered, her voice laced with sadistic pleasure. “I want to hear you beg, to know just how utterly broken you are.”

Daniel’s voice cracked as he sobbed uncontrollably, gasping for air through the blood pooling in his mouth. “Please… please… no more,” he choked out, the words barely audible between his cries.

But Lady Jenna was far from done. His pleas only spurred her on, igniting a deeper hunger to cause him further suffering. She stepped over him, placing her boot directly on his exposed stomach, the weight of her body crushing his ribs beneath her. The spurs pressed into his flesh, not deep enough to puncture yet, but with the promise of more pain to come.

“More?” Jenna sneered. “You don’t get to decide when it’s over.”

With sudden, brutal force, she twisted her heel, driving the spurs into his abdomen. The sharp spike pierced through his skin like paper, cutting into muscle and tissue with ease. The pain was immediate and overwhelming, and Daniel let out a strangled scream that echoed through the stable. His body convulsed beneath her, but she held firm, digging the spurs deeper with each movement, relishing the wet, tearing sound of his flesh giving way beneath the pressure.

“I could do this all night,” she purred, her eyes dark with satisfaction. “Watching your pathetic body fall apart under my boots, seeing the life drain out of your eyes. You men are all the same; weak, spineless, deserving only of pain.”

As she spoke, she raised her boot once more, driving the spurs into his side with a vicious kick. Daniel’s ribs crunched under the force, and he howled in agony, his entire body seizing from the shock. Lady Jenna’s breath quickened as she felt the satisfying give of his bones cracking beneath her heel.

Her spurs were now drenched in his blood, the gleaming point coated in the crimson evidence of her brutality. She kicked him again, this time aiming for his chest. The spikes ripped through his skin with ease, leaving deep, jagged wounds in their wake. Daniel’s screams had become hoarse, barely more than gasps of pain, his body trembling uncontrollably as it neared the edge of collapse.

But Lady Jenna was not yet satisfied. No, she needed more; more pain, more suffering, more proof of her absolute dominance. She stepped back, admiring the broken figure before her, writhing in the dirt and blood at her feet. A twisted smile spread across her face.

Without a word, she strode around to his legs, her blood-stained boots shining in the light. Daniel tried to crawl away, but his movements were sluggish, weak, nothing more than the instinctive twitching of a dying animal. Lady Jenna positioned herself at his feet, and with deliberate cruelty, she drove her spurs into the back of his legs, slicing through the tendons with brutal efficiency.

His scream was piercing, the sound of utter, primal agony. Daniel’s legs jerked violently before going limp, the muscles severed by Lady Jenna’s merciless kick. She twisted the spurs in his flesh, ensuring the damage was irreparable, leaving him utterly helpless, unable to even crawl away from her.

“You’re nothing but a toy,” she said coldly, standing over him with the air of a predator toying with its prey. “And I don’t stop until I’m finished playing.”

As she pressed her spurs into his flesh once more, Daniel’s body convulsed in one final, desperate plea for mercy. But there was no mercy in Lady Jenna, no compassion or humanity left. She was consumed by the pleasure of inflicting pain, of watching his body crumble beneath her. And with every kick, every twist of her heel, she felt a surge of satisfaction; a reminder of her power, of her superiority.

And Daniel? He was nothing more than a canvas for her cruelty. A broken, bloodied figure that would never again question his place beneath her heel.

Lady Jenna took a step back from Daniel’s crumpled, trembling form, her breathing steady, her heart still pounding with excitement from the brutal punishment she had delivered. She glanced down at her hands, shaking slightly with adrenaline, and smiled; this was what she lived for. The power. The absolute control. The destruction of a worthless, weak man beneath her boot.

Her boots were splattered with blood, the sharp spurs glistening as they dripped with his life essence. She could still hear his ragged breathing, the faint, pitiful gasps as he clung to whatever miserable remnants of life remained in him. It was almost over, but not quite. And Lady Jenna was in no rush.

With deliberate, graceful movements, she reached for her cigarettes and retrieved a cigarette from its silver case. She placed it between her lips and lit it, taking a long, slow drag. The first inhale sent a wave of calm through her, the familiar burn of smoke filling her lungs. She closed her eyes briefly, exhaling slowly, letting the thin stream of smoke drift up into the dim air of the stable.

The contrast was almost poetic. As she indulged in the calming pleasure of her cigarette, Daniel lay sprawled at her feet, barely conscious, his body ravaged by the merciless assault of her spurs. His chest heaved with each painful breath, his skin torn and bleeding, his legs useless, his ribs shattered. The sounds of his suffering; a low, continuous moan of pain; blended with the serene, rhythmic crackle of her cigarette burning.

Lady Jenna smiled, the cigarette dangling from her lips, and looked down at him with cold, detached amusement.

“What a pathetic sight you are,” she said softly, her voice dripping with contempt. “Bleeding and broken, writhing in the dirt like the filth you are.”

She took another drag of the cigarette, savoring the taste, the relaxation it brought, then slowly knelt beside him. As she exhaled the smoke into his face, his body flinched weakly, his eyes rolling back, half-lidded in agony. The smoke swirled around him, mingling with the scent of blood and dirt, but his suffering continued, uninterrupted, beneath her gaze.

“Oh, don’t fade on me just yet,” she whispered, flicking the ash from her cigarette onto his face. “I’m not quite finished.”

With that, Lady Jenna stood, adjusting the cigarette in her mouth as she shifted her boot back into place; those cruel spurs gleaming ominously once again. She lifted her leg and drove the sharp metal points into his abdomen with a sudden, vicious kick. The spurs bit deep, and Daniel’s body jerked violently as fresh blood spilled from the wounds.

He screamed, a raw, guttural sound, but Lady Jenna’s only reaction was a smile. She twisted her boot, driving the spurs deeper into his torn flesh, grinding them into the muscle as she leaned down, watching the life drain from his eyes. His hands twitched, his mouth gaped open in a silent scream, but she kept going, savoring every second of his torment.

“You feel that, don’t you?” she murmured, her voice almost intimate as she dragged her heel back and forth, feeling his flesh tear beneath her weight. “The pain, the hopelessness… the complete loss of control.”

Another deep drag of the cigarette, and this time she let the smoke linger before exhaling slowly, enjoying the sharp contrast between her calm pleasure and the suffering she inflicted. She kicked him again, this time harder, aiming for his chest. The spurs drove in once more, puncturing his already broken ribs with ease, and Daniel let out a choking, desperate cry. His body convulsed with the impact, blood spilling from his mouth as he coughed, his chest rising and falling in erratic spasms.

Lady Jenna chuckled softly, her eyes narrowing with sadistic delight.  Over and over, she kicked him; each blow more brutal than the last, each thrust of the spurs more savage and unforgiving. His skin tore, his bones cracked beneath her boots, and his cries for mercy faded into incoherent moans of pain.

She paused occasionally, taking long drags of her cigarette, the slow exhale of smoke mixing with the sounds of his broken breathing. The act of smoking only heightened her pleasure, adding a layer of indulgence to her cruelty. The relaxing sensation of nicotine coursing through her veins while his body disintegrated under the sharp metal of her spurs made it all the more enjoyable.

Every time she lifted her boot and saw the bloodied imprint of the spurs on his flesh, she smiled. This was power; pure, unchallenged, and exhilarating. She stepped back, admiring the destruction she had wrought. The spurs glinted through the blood, tiny remnants of flesh caught on their wicked points, but she wasn’t done. Not yet.

With one final, deliberate movement, she pressed the tip of her cigarette against Daniel’s already bloodied side. He flinched at the heat, a weak groan escaping his throat, but she touched it into his skin until the flesh sizzled beneath the burn. The acrid smell of burning flesh mingled with the smoke, filling the air around them, and Lady Jenna smiled with pure satisfaction.

Then, she raised her boot one last time, aiming directly for his chest. This time, she didn’t hold back. She kicked with all her might, the spurs driving deep into his flesh, puncturing his heart with a brutal, final thrust. His body arched once, a last convulsion of pain, before it went limp beneath her.

Silence fell over the stable. Lady Jenna stood over him, breathing slowly, the cigarette now reduced to a smoldering stub between her fingers. She crushed it beneath her heel, grinding it into the dirt beside his bloodied body, and exhaled one final puff of smoke.

“Another useless life ended,” she said with a sneer, nudging his lifeless body with the tip of her boot. “And all it took was a little persuasion with my spurs.”

Her eyes glinted with satisfaction as she surveyed the wreckage at her feet. Daniel’s body, broken and bloodied, was the perfect testament to her power; a stark reminder of what happened to those who dared to cross her.

As she turned to leave the stable, Daniel’s lifeless form lay still, and a twisted smile of satisfaction tugged at the corners of Lady Jenna’s lips. There would always be more Daniels, more weak, trembling men to crush beneath her heels.

And she would savor every moment.
