SUMMARY: A submissive woman is punished by her mistress.

COMMENTARY: This story flows beautifully.  As I read it, I 
could feel the tension building within me.  The main 
character is torn between dread (at what her mistress has in 
store for her) and joy (at the thought of being treated in 
such a manner by her mistress).  These emotions and came 
through very clearly, and while they are conflicting they 
also made her seem very real.  The ending is divine.  It 
doesn't completely resolve everything, but it does leave the 
reader with plenty to wonder about.

For those of you who may get squicked by some bondage and 
discipline stories, let me assure that there is nothing very 
extreme in this story, other than the main character's 
emotions.  Maybe I should have just coded it 'Light 
Bondage', but I chose not to.
