Encouragement to a nervous sub facing a punishment

Even though punishment is to deter bad behavior some of us subs and slaves love being punished. Who knows you may love the feel of helplessness as you stand bound naked facing the St Andrews Cross. Your heart quickens as you hear the click of Mistress's heels as she approaches from out of the shadows. You strain to hear where she is. Since your eyes are rendered useless by the silk black blindfold that covers them. All of a sudden your body is covered in goosebumps when you feel her breath as she leans in and whispers in your ear "Are you ready slave?" All you can do is moan from behind the ball gag that has been put in your mouth to soften the noise you are bound to make shortly as your punishment begins. You roll your head as she traces her finger over you back slowly descending until she rubs her hand over your ass cheeks, causing your cock to swell trying to break free of its imprisonment in that cursed cage you have had to wear for a month. You hear her heels click a couple of time as she moves into position behind you. Then silence grips the room and the only sound present is the clock on the wall going, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick and the pounding of your heart threatens to deafen you. The moment feels like an eternity as you clench your body anticipating that first stinging blow. Then confusion engulfs you as your body relaxes to the gentle massaging tickles of the flogger's tentacles cascading over your naked back and ass. It almost feels like a mother's loving embrace. Then once again nothing. Your breath quickens as you clench up yet again............ Well you get the idea friend I think you're in for a great experience with your punishment or will it be a funishment.
