- the slappy sound the belt makes as I pull it quickly through the pants loops
- then the jinglejangle the buckle makes when you fold the leather over double
- seeing the tensing of the skin as I run a finger across the target

and even though we haven't exercised it yet, I'm thinking of the fun to be had with a good old Southern Grandma "Go get me a switch" command, and the pleasure of my sub's return presentation of a well-selected flexible and thin branch stripped of its leaves. Hmm, I think the weather's supposed to be good this weekend...
Yes, indeed, the humiliation of having to search the back yard for the "switch," which to this day stands in a vase along with some golden twigs as a reminder.

Then having to lift my skirt and stand in the corner, bared-assed, as he lectured me and explained what was going to happen and why. The anticipation left me squirming.

But still greater anticipation awaited me when he bent me over the back of a club chair and positioned me to his liking. I could feel my butt cheeks involuntarily clench and perspiration break out on my brow as the switch repeatedly whizzed through the air, hard and fast, while I listened to the prelude before it connected with my butt. Sheer torture. Listening was almost enough to make me want to call out my "safe word" and before the switch ever met my ass cheeks, I was tearfully contrite and pleading.

When we'd have guests and he felt I wasn't behaving properly, all he needed to do was look to the vase and then at me.
