My Master is big on responsibility and accountability. As a matter of fact, so am I. I work in a demanding career that requires me to lead by example and take complete ownership of my actions and commitments. I accept nothing less from my employees at work. Master accepts nothing less from me at home. That’s why it was so out of character for me to neglect a commitment to an online friend for 3 whole weeks with barely an explanation.

Sometimes, real life just gets in the way of everything and my actions were a direct result of one of those times. A big project at work was requiring extended hours, which left me exhausted at the end of the day and took away from my normal routine at home. The loss of my daily routine was enough to drive me crazy as it was, but the loss of attention, routine and playtime as Master and slave drove me to distraction and into a fit of deep depression that I was happy to see the end of.

When life permitted it, I contacted my friend with a brief explanation and begged his forgiveness. He was kind enough to grant it and then, in jest, requested that I check with Master as to what kind of punishment he could assign to me. My first reaction was a laugh at his good-natured ribbing but that was immediately followed by the acute twinge of guilt knowing that I had disappointed him. I showed the request to Master, but didn’t really expect anything to come of it. I was surprised when Master not only replied with permission but also approved the punishment that he had come up with.

Master has shared me in the past – ordering me to give blow jobs or hand jobs to his friends – and has allowed friends to request a certain performance or activity by me – such as masturbating in front of them or serving them another drink. But this was only done with very close and trusted friends that we had known for years. This was completely new territory for us both – him allowing someone neither or us had met and he had never spoken to, to outline a punishment for me.

The assignment came back as follows. I was to write a punishment scene for myself. It was to include a punishment that had not been inflicted on me before and I was to write it as if it were a short story I intended to publish. Upon my Master’s approval of the story, it would become reality as he punished me on behalf of my friend, as the story had outlined.

I have been made to choose my punishment before and it is not a task I find easy, or enjoy. As excited as I was that our relationship was growing to include this new involvement, I was nervous that I would not be able to come up with something suitable and then, not only would I have disappointed my friend a second time, I would have disappointed and embarrassed Master as well. Not only did I want to make Master proud of me, I wanted to make sure that my friend felt that adequate punishment had been given to me on his behalf.
