First high-protocol evening: Part 5 Reflection [M25/f25] [Training] [Flogging] [Discussion] [Diffrent Dynamics]
Erik set the last candle down and looked over the four of us still lying on the mats, covered in the beach scene made of hot wax.
“Clara and Lot, you may remove the wax. Peel it off carefully.”
Clara and I sat up and began working the coloured layers free with our fingers. The wax came away in satisfying sheets and flakes, pulling lightly at the red skin beneath. Soft tearing sounds filled the room as blue water, yellow sand and green palms were stripped from our bodies and dropped onto the mats.
Lena and Daniel were not given the same instruction.
Sofia pointed to a clear space on the floor.
“Aside. Inspection position.”
Lena rose and stood with her legs wide, hands behind her head, the remaining wax still clinging to her breasts, stomach and thighs. Elena grapped Daniel by his hair and pulled him up: "Stand up, don't be so slow". Then Sofia took one of the medium floggers, stepped in front of them, and began striking the wax away.
The first strokes landed across Lena’s upper breast and shoulders, knocking loose the thicker pieces. Then Elena also picked up a flogger and started with Daniels breast.
Then Sofia moved lower, flogging the wax from Lena's breasts in steady, measured swings. Each impact made a heavy leather sound and sent flakes of coloured wax flying. Lena’s face quickly crumpled. Tears gathered and spilled over.
Tim spoke in a low, almost clinical voice.
“She’s crying again already. From this.”
Sofia did not slow down. But the strokes still seemed light and controlled.
“She still treats every sensation like an emergency. That is exactly why we continue.”
The flogger moved lower, clearing Lena’s stomach and the fronts of her thighs. When only the wax on her pussy and the soft inner folds remained, Sofia adjusted her stance and delivered a single, precise stroke directly between Lena’s legs.
Lena’s voice broke.
“Yellow”
Sofia stopped at once. The room went quiet except for Lena’s ragged breathing.
I kept my eyes down while I peeled a long strip of blue wax from my own stomach, but my thoughts raced. The way Sofia handled her seemed genuinely harsh to me. I could not imagine living inside that kind of constant, deliberate pressure for weeks or months. When Tim took me to similar intensities it was for one evening or a single weekend, after which there was always aftercare and time to recover. Watching Lena cry so openly from what still looked like a controlled, almost light flogging, made something twist in my chest. I knew my own tolerance was higher; the same strokes would have burned and stung, but they would not have pulled tears from me so quickly. And Daniel was standing next to Lena, and also he was not in tears.
Sofia glanced at the other Dominants.
“She needs a longer pause, and she needs to see the difference.”
Erik nodded.
“Clara and Lot, stand in the line. Present your cunts.”
We stood shoulder to shoulder, feet wide, hands behind our heads. Lena was kept in her inspection position a few steps in front of us so she could watch.
One by one the Dominants took a light flogger and struck us directly between the legs, single, deliberate strokes meant to clear any last traces of wax and to demonstrate control. The leather snapped against my already sensitive pussy with a bright, stinging flash that made my hips jerk, yet I stayed silent and upright. Clara took hers with only a sharp inhale. Daniel received a carefully aimed stroke across the base of his cock and balls and merely clenched his jaw. It was not his first one as almost al wax was cleared of his body already. Each of us was hit in turn, the sounds clean and controlled, until every remaining flake of wax had been knocked from Lena’s body as well.
By the time the last stroke fell, Lena was still crying quietly, but the immediate pressure on her had eased. The rest of us stood in line, skin raw and throbbing between our legs, showing her without words how the same pain could be received differently.
Sofia finally lowered the flogger.
“Kneel. All of you.”
We sank down in silence. The beach scene was gone. Only red, marked skin was left.
We were ordered back to our places. I knelt beside Tim’s chair, wrists crossed behind my back, eyes down. Clara returned to Erik’s side, Lena to Sofia’s, and Daniel to Elena’s. The room felt quieter now, the sharp energy of the wax and flogging settling into something heavier and more formal.
Erik glanced at Clara.
“Another round of drinks. Use the tray.”
Clara rose, reattached the nipple clamps to the special serving tray, and moved carefully around the circle collecting orders. The weights of the glasses pulled visibly on her breasts as she walked. When she finally returned and distributed the coffee and wine, she knelt again without being told.
Erik set his glass down.
“We will close the evening properly. While each Dominant speaks, every submissive will bow fully, forehead to the floor, arms crossed behind the back. You will remain in that position until told otherwise.”
I folded forward at once, forehead pressing against the cool floorboards, arms tight across the small of my back. Around me I heard the soft sounds of the others doing the same.
Daniel, however, placed his hands flat on the floor instead of crossing his arms.
Elena’s voice was immediate and cold.
“Incorrect. Up.”
Daniel rose. Elena pointed to the cane. He fetched it, presented it across both palms, and bent forward. Three sharp strokes landed across his already bruised ass. He returned to the full bow without another mistake, forehead down, arms correctly crossed.
Only then did Elena begin.
“I found the evening instructive,” she said calmly. “The level of protocol was consistent, and the shared canvas exercise worked well and was vert fun. Watching the differences in pain tolerance and obedience between the four submissives was useful. Daniel received exactly what he needed: clear structure, visible consequences, and enough intensity to keep him from sliding into bratty resistance. I leave satisfied.”
She paused.
“Daniel. Sit up and evaluate the evening. What did you learn, what did you experience, and how do you feel.”
Daniel rose only to a kneeling position, eyes still lowered.
“I learned that I still need strong external pressure before I drop properly, Mistress. When the stimulus is high enough I stop fighting and simply obey. I experienced humiliation and physical pain, both of which I needed. Serving with my mouth while being flogged, and later being used as part of the wax canvas, put me in the headspace I struggle to reach on my own. I feel calm now, and grateful that I was not allowed to remain bratty.”
Elena gave a small nod.
“Acceptable. Forehead down again.”
Daniel folded back into the deep bow.
We remained folded forward, foreheads pressed to the floor, arms crossed tightly behind our backs. The position left my neck aching and the heavy plug shifting with every breath, but I did not move. Around me I could hear only the quiet breathing of the other three submissives and the soft clink of Erik setting his glass down.
Erik spoke in his usual calm, measured tone.
“This was a successful high-protocol evening for our guests, and a useful training night for my own slave. The structure we discussed prior to the evening worked well. Protocol was observed at a high level, corrections were applied immediately, and the shared exercises, particularly the wax canvas, created the right combination of endurance, humiliation, and group accountability. I was pleased with the overall discipline in the room.”
He paused, and I heard the leather of his chair shift as he turned slightly toward Clara.
“Clara continues to show her greatest strength and her greatest weakness in equal measure. Her obedience is instinctive and deep; she drops into service without resistance and accepts public correction without argument. That part of her training is solid. The difficulty remains her ass and her tendency to vocalise discomfort too readily. Tonight reinforced both the house rule and the consequence for noise. The additional clamps and the repeated exposure to larger plugs served their purpose. She leaves the evening with a clear reminder of where she still needs to improve.”
His voice stayed even, almost clinical.
“I leave satisfied. The presence of other trained submissives gave her useful mirrors for both behaviour and endurance. We will continue the same programme at home.”
He waited a moment longer, then addressed her directly.
“Clara. Sit up. Evaluate the evening: what you learned, what you experienced, and how you feel.”
I heard the soft sound of Clara rising from the deep bow to a kneeling position. Her voice was quiet and carefully controlled.
“I learned again that my Master’s standards do not change when guests are present, Master. The rule about silence and the rule about the plug were both enforced exactly as they are when we are alone. I experienced repeated humiliation when the larger plugs were shown to me and when I was corrected in front of the others. I also experienced the physical difficulty of the nipple tray and the clamps. Serving drinks while the weights pulled on my nipples kept me focused and ashamed in a way that helped me stay in the right headspace.”
She swallowed once.
“During the wax exercise I was afraid of making a sound and causing punishment for everyone. That fear made me concentrate harder than usual. When I did earn group punishments I felt responsible and small. Overall I feel used, corrected, and clear about what Master expects from me. I am grateful the training continued even with others watching.”
Erik gave a single nod that I could sense more than see.
“Acceptable. Forehead down.”
Clara folded forward again into the full bow. The room returned to silence except for the low hum of the air and the occasional soft shift of a Dominant’s glass. I stayed perfectly still beside Tim, cheek against the floorboards, waiting for the next voice.
Sofia’s voice was clear and composed.
“I found the evening productive. High protocol was maintained at a level that left little room for laziness, and the presence of other Dominants allowed me to observe and adjust in real time. The shared canvas exercise worked especially well for exposure and endurance. For my own slave the night was focused almost entirely on her weakest point, pain tolerance and the tendency to treat discomfort as something that should stop.”
She paused briefly.
“Lena received more intensity than she is used to: the prolonged stress position, the clamps, the layered flogging, the forced orgasm under impact, and finally the removal of wax by flogger rather than by hand. She used her safeword once, which was respected, and then continued. That is progress. Seeing the other submissives take similar or greater sensation with less visible distress gave her a clear mirror. I leave the evening satisfied with the work that was done and with the help that was offered.”
Sofia’s tone remained even as she addressed her slave.
“Lena. Sit up. Evaluate the evening. What you learned, what you experienced, and how you feel.”
I heard Lena rise from the deep bow to a kneeling position. Her voice was soft and still slightly rough from earlier crying.
“I learned that the level of pain I want to be able to accept is still higher than what I can take without breaking into tears, Mistress. Tonight showed me exactly where that gap is. I experienced more continuous intensity than I have before, the position, the clamps, the flogger, the vibrator, and the way the Dominants increased everything when I came. It was overwhelming and often not pleasurable in the moment. I cried more than I wanted to.”
She took a small breath.
“I also experienced the difference between myself and the others. Watching them take strokes and corrections with less reaction made me understand why Mistress keeps training me this way. I am thankful to the other Masters and to the other slaves for being part of it. Their presence and their example helped me see the level I have asked to reach, even when it was hard to stay in it. I feel sore, tired, and clearer about what still needs work. I remain grateful that Mistress continues to push me, and that the others were willing to help.”
Sofia was quiet for a moment.
“Acceptable. Forehead down.”
Lena folded forward again into the full bow. The four of us remained there in silence, waiting for the final pair to speak.
We remained in the deep bow, foreheads pressed to the floorboards, arms crossed behind our backs. While the silence stretched before Tim spoke, my thoughts turned to the words Lena had just offered.
I was quietly amazed by her. Only nineteen, already living inside a demanding dynamic, and still able to kneel there and thank the room for the very pain that had made her cry. She was setting the bar high, higher than I had expected from someone so new to regular training. She struggled openly, used her safeword when she needed it, and yet her final words had been full of gratitude rather than complaint. Something about that combination: the honest difficulty and the clear willingness, settled heavily in my chest. It made me both respectful and a little smaller in my own submission.
Tim’s voice pulled me back.
“I’m glad we were invited tonight,” he said calmly. “This was our first high-protocol group evening, and it gave us exactly what we came for. The structure was clear, the standards were consistent, and the other Dominants handled my submissive with the right balance of firmness and attention. Lot was tested in endurance, silence, pain, and public obedience. She made one vocal error early and was corrected for it. After that she held protocol well. Watching the different training approaches, especially the long-term pain work with Lena and the service focus with Clara, was useful for both of us. We leave the evening happy we joined and clearer about the direction we want to take our own dynamic.”
He rested his hand briefly on the back of my head.
“Lot. Sit up. Evaluate the evening: what you learned, what you experienced, and how you feel.”
I rose from the bow to a kneeling position, eyes still lowered, the plug shifting inside me as I straightened.
“I learned that high protocol in a group is heavier than I expected, Master. The constant awareness of every Dominant’s eyes and the knowledge that any mistake could affect the others made every order feel sharper. I experienced the marble task, the clothespins, the wax, the group punishments, and the corrections. Some of it was physically hard, some of it was more psychological. I struggled most with staying completely silent when the pain landed on the most sensitive places.”
I paused, choosing the next words carefully.
“I also watched the other submissives closely. Lena’s willingness to keep going even when she was overwhelmed stayed with me. She set a high standard tonight. I feel tired, marked, and very owned. And I feel grateful we were allowed to be here. The evening showed me both where I am strong and where I still have room to improve. I’m happy we came.”
Tim gave a single, quiet nod.
“Acceptable. Forehead down.”
I folded forward again into the full bow beside him. The four of us remained there in silence while the Dominants finished their drinks.
Erik set his empty glass down and looked around the circle.
“High protocol is over for the evening. Submissives may stand, look freely, and speak.”
The shift in the room was immediate. I rose slowly on stiff legs, blinking as I lifted my eyes for the first time in hours. The other three did the same. Soft, careful conversation began between each pair.
Tim turned me gently and began unbuckling the full-body harness. The straps peeled away from my marked skin with small tugging sensations. He folded the harness neatly and returned it to Erik with a quiet word of thanks. My wrist and ankle cuffs were unlocked next. The sudden lightness felt strange. Tim held out a short summer dress he had brought in the bag. I stepped into it; the soft fabric settled over my still-sensitive breasts and the fading red marks. Before I could adjust it, Tim leaned close.
“The plug stays in. Erik requested that every submissive leave the house still wearing one.”
“Yes, Master,” I answered quietly.
A few steps away, Sofia was handing Lena a set of stunning dark lingerie, a sheer bralette and matching panties. Lena put them on first, then stepped into a simple shirt and short pants. Her thin silver collar remained locked around her throat. Daniel had already pulled on ordinary jeans and a t-shirt. He was speaking softly with Elena when she suddenly fisted a hand in his hair, forced him back to his knees, opened his mouth with two fingers, and spat directly onto his tongue. He swallowed without being told. I only caught the motion from the corner of my eye and did not hear the words that had preceded it.
Clara, still completely naked except for her collar, moved between us.
“Would you all come with me for a few minutes? There’s a quieter room where we can talk.”
We followed her down a short hallway into a small, warmly lit sitting room with low couches and floor cushions. The door closed behind us with a soft click. For the first time all evening the four of us were alone together.
We settled onto the cushions. Clara spoke first, her tone calm and practical.
“Daniel, what was the spit for? I only saw the end of it.”
Daniel gave a small, self-conscious huff.
“I asked Elena if we could skip the usual bedtime protocol tonight because I’m tired. She said that question itself proved I still needed the reminder. So she gave me one.”
Clara nodded as if that made perfect sense.
Lena looked at me.
“You were very quiet most of the night. How was it, your first time in a high-protocol group?”
I smoothed the hem of my dress over my thighs, feeling the plug shift inside me.
“Intense. Heavier than I expected. The marble task frustrated me more than the pain did. When I finally spoke out of turn I knew immediately it would cost me. The clothespins and the wax were hard, but the constant awareness that any sound could punish everyone else was the part that stayed with me most. I learned a lot about my own limits and about how much protocol changes the feeling of every order.”
The conversation turned to Lena. Clara asked the question that had been sitting in the back of my mind all evening.
“Your pain training looks really demanding. How do you keep going with it?”
Lena’s hands rested quietly in her lap.
“It is demanding. Some days I hate it. Sofia builds it slowly but she doesn’t back off just because I cry. Tonight was one of the harder sessions I’ve had, especially in a group. I’m starting to understand that the crying is part of the process for me, not a reason to stop. I’m grateful the other Dominants and the rest of you were part of it. Seeing how the rest of you took sensation helped me more than I expected. I want to reach the level where pain doesn’t break my posture or my silence so easily. I’m not there yet, but I want to be.”
I studied her for a moment.
“You’re only nineteen. How did you end up in something this structured so young?”
Lena gave a small, almost shy smile.
“I already knew I was submissive when I met Sofia last year, I know that for some years now since I saw a movie with some sort of BDSM in it. Solfia and I talked for months before we started anything physical. I asked for the structure. I asked for the training. The intensity came later, when I told her I wanted to get better at accepting pain. She warned me it would be uncomfortable and often not fun. I still wanted it.”
Clara tilted her head.
“Can you tell us more about the actual training scheme? Where did you start, and what is the end goal?”
Lena nodded slowly, gathering her thoughts.
“We started very small. At the beginning it was only hand spanks over clothes, then bare, then a soft belt. Clamps started with just a few minutes on my nipples while I did homework. Wax was only a few drops on my arms. The rule was that I had to stay still and keep my breathing even. If I cried or moved too much, we simply repeated the same level the next day instead of progressing. After a couple of months we moved to longer sessions, heavier implements, and combining things, clamps while being flogged, stress positions while she used a strap on my thighs. Now we have structured evenings almost every day: sometimes pure endurance, sometimes mixing pain with forced pleasure so my body starts to get confused about what it hates. The end goal is that I can take a full heavy session: cane, longer flogging, strong clamps, temperature play, without collapsing into tears or losing my position. I want to be able to stay open and present even when it hurts a lot. Sofia says we’re maybe halfway there. Some weeks I feel progress. Other weeks I feel like I’m back at the beginning.”
Daniel leaned forward a little.
“How do you actually measure progress? What counts as improvement for her?”
Lena answered without hesitation.
“We keep it quite concrete. At the start of each month Sofia writes down what I should be able to take by the end of it, for example, ten minutes of medium clamps while holding a stress position, or a certain number of strokes with the belt without breaking posture. If I reach it three times in a row with controlled breathing and no safeword, we move the target up. If I fail repeatedly, we stay at the same level or even step back for a week. She also films some sessions so we can watch afterwards. That part is hard, because I have to see exactly where my face changes or my shoulders tense. But it makes the progress measurable instead of just a feeling.”
I asked the next question.
“What does a normal training evening look like for you now?”
“It depends on the day,” Lena said. “Three evenings a week are pure pain-endurance. I might be ordered into a squat or a standing present position, clamps go on, and then she works with a flogger, a strap, or the cane for a set time. No vibrator, no soft words, just the instruction to stay open and breathe. Two other evenings are mixed: she uses the wand or her hand while she flogs me, or she makes me edge while the clamps are on. Those are the sessions where I get most confused, because my body starts wanting the pain to continue so the pleasure doesn’t stop. One evening a week is lighter or focused on positions and service, so I don’t burn out. And almost every night, even on rest days, I wear at least light clamps for a while or hold a short stress position before bed. It never completely stops.”
Clara’s voice was quiet.
“How do you handle the days when you really don’t want to do it?”
Lena was silent for a few seconds.
“I still do it. That was one of the first agreements we made. I can use Yellow or Red if something is truly wrong, but ‘I don’t feel like it’ is not a reason to skip. On the hard days Sofia usually starts slower and reminds me why I asked for this. Sometimes she makes me say out loud what the goal is before we begin. It doesn’t always take the resistance away, but it reminds me that I chose the direction. Afterwards I usually feel clearer, even if I cried a lot during it. The gratitude comes later, when I notice I took something this week that I couldn’t have taken two months ago.”
Daniel frowned slightly.
“And the end goal, once you can take a full heavy session without breaking, what then? Does the training stop?”
Lena shook her head.
“No. The goal moves. Right now the target is to stay composed through a heavy session. After that she wants me to be able to take the same intensity while also serving, bringing her a drink, holding a position for her comfort, or focusing on her pleasure while I’m in pain. Later she wants the pain to become something I can accept as background during longer protocol periods, not just during dedicated training scenes. She says the real end point is when pain is just another tool she can use freely without it interrupting my submission. I don’t know how many months or years that will take. I only know I agreed to keep going until we’re both satisfied.”
I watched her while she spoke. The way she described the structure, concrete targets, filmed reviews, mixed sessions, the refusal to let short-term reluctance stop the work, made the whole programme feel much more deliberate than I had first understood. It was not simply “Sofia hurts her a lot.” It was a long, planned progression with clear milestones and an end state that went far beyond basic endurance.
Clara exhaled slowly.
“That’s a lot more systematic than most people would expect from a nineteen-year-old’s dynamic.”
Lena gave a small nod.
“I know. But I asked for systematic. I didn’t want vague intensity. I wanted to actually change what I can take.”
We sat with that for a while, the weight of her words settling between us.
I asked the next question almost carefully.
“And the student house? How did the other girls agree to what they see?”
Lena’s voice stayed calm and matter-of-fact.
“We told them the truth early, before we even moved in together on the top floor. We sat down with the whole house one evening and explained that I’m her submissive, that she gives me orders in the apartment, that I have clear safewords, and that nothing sexual or with implements happens where they can see it. We set the boundaries together: in the shared kitchen, living room and hallway she can tell me to kneel, to fetch things, to wait quietly, or to go to our rooms for a correction. No nudity outside our two rooms, no toys visible, no impact where anyone else can watch. They’ve seen me kneel beside her chair while we all watch a film. They’ve heard her say ‘We’ll deal with that upstairs’ when I make a mistake. Some of them still look a little surprised. Most of them treat it as normal now. And one of the girls even asked us if we could not do a bit more in the shared rooms of our home. She was intressted in the punishments for example, but that is a limit for me. As she is a good friend of my I did show her the damage after a few of my sessions. I would not be suprised if she once will join us on a munch or take a dominant boyfriend to our home.”
She glanced around at us.
“It helps that the house is already quite open about sex. Almost everyone is sexually active, people bring partners home, and no one is shocked by noise or by someone walking to the bathroom half-dressed. Our dynamic is just another version of that openness, only more structured. When a new housemate was considering moving in last semester, we had the same conversation again with her present. We explained everything the same way, answered her questions, and made it clear she could always speak up if something ever made her uncomfortable. She moved in. So far it’s been fine. They know they’re allowed to ask if something ever looks wrong. That seems to be enough for them.”
Clara nodded slowly.
“So the whole house basically knows you’re owned, even if they only see the lighter parts.”
“Yes,” Lena answered. “They know I belong to her. They just don’t see the heavier training. That stays behind our door. But the fact that they accept the visible part, the kneeling, the orders, the way I speak to her, makes the whole dynamic feel more real to me. It’s not only something that exists when we’re alone. It’s part of how I live in the house.”
We sat with that for a while. Lena’s description left a quiet weight in the room. The combination of her age, the deliberate long-term pain programme, the clear goals, and the way the student house had been brought into the edges of their dynamic made her submission feel both very young and unusually considered.
Finally the attention turned to Clara.
“What’s it like for you?” I asked. “Almost 24/7?”
Clara exhaled slowly.
“It’s ordinary to me now. I wake up owned. I go to sleep owned. Most of the day is simple service and protocol, how I walk, how I speak, when I am allowed furniture, the plug I wear whenever Master wants it. The difficult parts, like the anal training, never really stop; they just become part of the background. Some days I feel very small and very safe at the same time. Other days I feel frustrated and still do what is expected anyway. The consistency is what holds me. I don’t have to decide who I am in the dynamic. It’s already decided.”
We sat with that for a while, four submissives in different places along the same path, comparing the weight of the evening and the shapes of our own dynamics.
Eventually Clara glanced at the clock.
“They’ll be ready for you to leave soon.”
We returned to the living room. Tim was already standing with Erik near the door. I moved to Tim’s side. He rested a hand on the back of my neck, warm and familiar.
We thanked Erik and Clara properly. Erik shook Tim’s hand and gave me a brief, approving nod.
“You both did well for a first evening. You’re welcome again.”
Clara, still naked and quiet, opened the front door for us. The night air felt cool against my marked skin. Tim guided me to the car with the plug still seated deeply inside me, the short dress brushing over places that still throbbed.
As we drove away from the house I leaned my head against the seat and let the whole evening settle: the protocol, the pain, the other submissives’ voices, and the quiet knowledge that we had taken a new step together.
