Austin shuddered. She was in for it. Lance pushed the stage curtain back and motioned her inside when they reached it. “I’ll be along shortly,” he said.

When she looked up, she saw Patrick leaned against the wall looking as hot as ever. His gaze warmed when he looked up and saw her. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her, hard. “I’ve missed you, baby girl,” he murmured.

Austin melted into his arms. “I’ve missed you, Sir,” she whispered.

“I hear you’re forgetting titles again,” he said as he tugged her toward a nearby chair.

“Jesus, are you guys fucking telepathic? That literally just happened.”

Patrick’s head fell back as he sat in the chair and he laughed loudly. “I was only teasing you since I know it’s your weak spot. Who did you address incorrectly?”

Austin fought the urge to smack him since he was about to be spanking her on stage.

“Technically, I wasn’t addressing anyone. I was talking to Master Lance about you and called you Patrick. He smacked me on the ass for it.”

Patrick chuckled. “Good for him. I’ll let it slide then.” He tugged her into his lap. “I hate this. I want to take you out to a play station and string you up in my rope and make you scream.”

Austin snuggled into his lap. “I want that too, Sir. I’m sorry we can’t do it.”

“We’ll get through this.”

Lance stepped through the curtain. “Everybody decent back here?”

Patrick motioned him further into the room and he stepped in and dropped his bag on the floor. “Demo starts in fifteen, how are you feeling about this, Austin?”

She sat up and perched on Patrick’s knee. “I’m good. This will be fun. Do we have a loose script to follow or are we just winging it?”

“We’re going to roleplay,” Patrick said with a grin.

Patrick and Lance stood on the small stage looking out over the audience that had gathered to watch the Friday night demo. Lance was giving a basic overview of spanking safety. When he was finished, Patrick took over to lay out the various types of spanking there were.

“This is by no means an exhaustive list, but some of the reasons one might incorporate spanking into a D/s or kinky relationship are discipline and punishment, maintenance spanking to keep a Dom and sub the right headspace, the bottom may be a masochist and the top may be a sadist, or some people just get really turned on by spanking and it enhances sexual pleasure.”

He paused as the crowd let out a few whistles.

“A sexual spanking—my personal favorite—usually includes sex or masturbation to orgasm. A punishment or discipline spanking could end in an orgasm, but the focus is not usually on sexual pleasure.” He ticked off the types of spanking on his fingers as he spoke. “A maintenance spanking is a scheduled spanking that the sub gets at regular agreed upon intervals. Perhaps you agree that the first Sunday of every month is maintenance day. If the sub has problems with growing lax in their protocols, it can help them stay on track. On the other side of the slash, if the Dom has been lax in enforcing protocols, the regularly scheduled session can help put them back in their headspace. I don’t think I need to explain why a masochist and sadist might enjoy spanking,” he finished with a grin.

The audience snickered and Patrick turned to Lance, indicating it was his turn to take over.

“We have the opportunity to display two kinds of spanking for you tonight since one of our house subs was terribly naughty. Isn’t that right, Master Patrick?”

Patrick nodded with a stern look on his face. “Let’s get her out here and handle it.”

Patrick turned and puled the curtain aside and called Austin to the stage. “Come here please, sub.” He winked at her since his back was to the audience.

She stepped onto the stage and looked appropriately contrite for her imagined misbehavior.

“Can you tell me what you did wrong?” he asked after having her kneel.

Austin looked up at him. “I told Master Lance to fuck off,” she said, wincing.

It might have been mean for Patrick to suggest that as their roleplay, but he may have had a tiny bit of sadist in him.

Just then, Hunter yelled from the audience, “she seems to have a habit of that.”

The audience gasped appropriately, and Lance looked down at her sternly. “And what happens to naughty disrespectful subs?”
