The Decorator

I’d been called out for a straightforward job. A neat residential estate, the kind where everything is trimmed, quiet, predictable. Painting a bedroom wall. In and out. Easy.

That’s what I thought.

That illusion lasted exactly as long as it took for the door to open.

Miss Helen Ryder stood there, completely at odds with the surroundings. Tight black leather, zipped and sculpted to her body. Fishnets beneath. Heeled boots laced tight. Her arms bare, marked with ink that told its own story. She didn’t explain it. Didn’t soften it. Just looked at me, then turned and told me to follow.

Upstairs, she pointed out the wall. Just one. Simple enough. But the room itself pulled at me immediately. A four-poster bed, but not for sleep. Chains hanging from the frame. Leather draped where fabric should have been. A bench in the corner fitted with straps. Objects placed with intent rather than decoration.

“Just this wall, miss?”

“Yes,” she said, already turning away. “I need to go out. Get on with it.”

And then she left.

That was the moment I should have got on with the job.

Instead, I looked around.

The silence drew me in. The rack on the wall held ropes, chains, leather straps, all worn just enough to show they were used, not displayed. A tall stand filled with implements I recognised… but didn’t want to name. 

And then the cabinet. Glass-fronted. Immaculate.

Dildos.

A collection that made my breath catch.

Just a look.

That’s all it was.

Until it wasn’t.

I picked up a cane. Turned it slowly in my hands, feeling the weight of it—

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Her voice cut straight through me. Close. Controlled.

I turned, already knowing I’d crossed a line I couldn’t step back from.

“I’m sorry, miss… I was just curious—”

“Curious?” she repeated, stepping toward me, her expression tightening. “Going through my things?”

There was no answer.

“I think,” she said, calmer now, colder, “I’m going to have to teach you a lesson.”

And just like that, I wasn’t the decorator anymore.

The rope came quickly. Efficient. Practised. I barely had time to react before I was backed against one of the bedposts, my torso secured, my wrists pulled behind and fixed tight. No slack. No leverage. No way out.

She stepped back, looked at me, then pressed a button.

A playlist of The Damned kicked in.

“I leave you alone for five minutes,” she said, circling slowly, “and you start helping yourself.”

The scissors appeared. The first cut opened my t-shirt. Then another. Then more. Controlled. Deliberate. Exposing without freeing. She worked up and down my chest, then across until my nipples were fully exposed, pausing just long enough to take hold of them, squeezing firmly, testing my reaction. I flinched. She smirked.

The blades moved again, this time to my sleeves. A few precise snips… then more. Cutting them away completely. Leaving my arms bare.

“Customising,” she said lightly. “You can wear this to a punk gig.”

My protests meant nothing.

“I need to teach you a lesson.”

⛓⛓⛓

When she grabbed hold of my trousers and dragged them down to my ankles, I felt the shift immediately. There was no going back now. The scissors returned, this time working at my briefs. Small cuts at first… then more, opening the fabric just enough before she pulled it apart, exposing me completely. My body reacted before I could stop it. Of course she noticed.

“Oh… you’re enjoying this.”

Her boot brushed against my exposed cock, deliberate this time. Then pressed. Then withdrew. Teasing control without giving anything away.

Rope came back into play. Lower this time. Tighter. Wrapped deliberately around my cock and balls, binding me in a way that left no doubt where her attention had shifted.

Then the hood. A balaclava, tight, leaving only my eyes and mouth exposed. The world narrowed instantly. Vision reduced. Sound sharpened. Every touch amplified.

Then the gag. A ball forced into my mouth, inescapable. A lizard-like tongue protruding from it, obscene and deliberate. Anything I tried to say dissolved into useless noise.

She stepped back.

Picked up her phone.

Pictures first. Then video. Slow. Deliberate. Making sure nothing was missed.

“Oh, this is good,” she said. “What would your clients think?”

The humiliation landed deeper than anything physical. 

“You’ll still paint the wall,” she added. “No charge.”

⛓⛓⛓

She stepped back, looking me over for a moment, then reached down and took hold of my trousers where they’d pooled around my ankles.

“These are too good to ruin…” she said, almost thoughtfully, turning the waistband to read the label. “Killstar… size medium…” A small pause. A smirk. “And ladies.”

She glanced back at me.

“These are mine now.”

She took them away without another word.

Then she stepped in again, hands moving to the rope, untying me from the bedpost just enough to turn me, reposition me, keep me under her control.

The scissors returned. This time behind me. A few deliberate snips at the back of my t-shirt, exposing me further. She moved to my underwear next, cutting and pulling it apart until my arse cheeks were left completely bare. “Over the bench.”

I obeyed. Face down.

Straps secured my legs. My wrists fixed in place. My body held exactly how she wanted it. Exposed. Helpless. The gag came off.

“I want to hear you.”

The first slap across my bare arse made that very clear.

Then another.

And another.

The rhythm built, each one landing with intent, heat spreading, deepening, refusing to settle. When the flogger replaced her hand, the sensation changed completely. Multiple impacts, faster, less predictable, wrapping around me, making it impossible to brace.

I twisted against the restraints, uselessly.

She adjusted. Shifted. Controlled.

The music changed.

“Feel the Pain.”

Feel the pain
It leaves no stain

Each line landed at exactly the wrong moment.

Feel the pain
The name of the game

“So,” she said, the cane slicing the air beside me, “what about cleaning my boots?”

I shook my head immediately.

“Please… I’ve got cloths in the van… I can—”

“With your tongue,” she cut in, flat, decisive.

“No… please… just let me paint the wall…”

The cane answered.

Sharp. Precise.

Another.

And another.

“Please… miss…”

Another.

“I’ll clean them…”

She paused.

“Good,” she said quietly. “You’re learning.”

⛓⛓⛓

On the floor, everything shifted.

Lower. Closer. More humbling.

“Tongue.”

I obeyed.

Methodical. Thorough. No shortcuts allowed. Every inch inspected, corrected, repeated. When I rushed, she stopped me. When I hesitated, she pushed me.

The playlist rolled on.

“Love Song.”

Except in my head, the chorus had changed.

I’ll be the cleaner if you’re my inspector
Licking those boots like I’ve done it forever

Absurd.

Accurate.

⛓⛓⛓

“Face up on the bed.”

This time, there was no hesitation.

I climbed up, doing exactly as I was told. Whatever resistance I’d had earlier was gone now, replaced by something quieter. Something more compliant.

She worked quickly.

My wrists were cuffed and pulled out to either side, fixed to the frame. A chain was drawn tight across my chest, pinning me in place. My legs were forced apart, ankles secured to a spreader bar, thighs tethered back to the bedposts with rope. Every part of me held where she wanted it. Displayed. Controlled.

I must have looked a state. T-shirt hanging in strips. Underwear barely clinging on. Completely exposed… except for my socks.

She noticed. Of course she did.

The scissors came back out.

A few quick snips and the socks were gone, peeled away without ceremony. She paused, taking in my feet, the black polish on my toenails finally visible.

“So, you are kinky,” she said, almost amused.

Then she moved on.

What remained of my underwear didn’t last long. A few more cuts. A firm pull. Nothing left to hide behind.

⛓⛓⛓

The light in the room had shifted. The sun dipping low outside, shadows stretching across the walls.

The playlist rolled on.

Night obliterates the day
And all the fun begins.

She smiled as she fixed bands over the shaft of my cock, attaching them with calm precision before connecting them to her e-stim machine.

The first jolt hit without warning.

Sharp. Sudden. Enough to make my whole body jump against the restraints.

“Please, miss—”

“Oh… you want me to stop?” she said, already knowing the answer.

She didn’t wait for it.

Instead, she adjusted the dial out of my sight, and the sensation returned — stronger now, more focused, pulling a reaction from me I couldn’t control. Each change she made was deliberate, dialled in, watching how I responded, learning exactly where to push next.

I writhed. Uselessly.

There was nowhere to go.

The intensity returned almost immediately. Rising. Falling. Then rising again. Never settling. Never predictable. I couldn’t brace for it, couldn’t adapt to it. Every adjustment pulled something different out of me.

Then something new.

Nipple clamps. Cold metal. A chain between them, studded with spikes. A sharp, insistent bite that didn’t fade, just stayed there, constant, demanding attention. 

“Punk style,” she said, almost approving. “You’re a proper punk now.”

The reaction was instant.

“I Just Can’t Be Happy Today” filled the room.

It felt more like commentary than music.

She didn’t let anything stabilise.

The pulses continued. The pressure remained. Then something else again. A small flogger, rubber flails this time. Lighter, sharper, landing across my thighs, my cock, my balls, keeping everything off balance, never letting me settle into anything.

Just when I thought I could hold it together, she shifted again.

More.

Less.

Different.

Always different.

At some point, everything began to build together.

The intensity. The pressure. The conflicting sensations pulling in opposite directions — the vibrator already working against everything else — my body reacting faster than I could process it, breathing changing, control slipping.

Pressed and moved with deliberate intent, guiding me closer, whether I wanted it or not.

I was close.

She knew it.

Of course she did.

She let it build.

Then took it away.

Completely.

The frustration hit hard.

She reached up, gripping the chain between the clamps, and without warning yanked them free. The spike of pain was immediate, sharp enough to cut through everything else—only to be replaced just as quickly. Clothes pegs this time. One on each side… then more, layered on top, tightening the pressure even further. Not different. Worse. Sharper. More relentless.

“Perhaps I’ll use the vibrator on myself,” she said lightly, lifting it away.

And she did.

Close enough for me to see. Close enough to understand exactly what I wasn’t being given. The contrast was deliberate. Controlled. Cruel in the quietest way.

“Want it back?” she asked.

“Yes, miss.”

“What do you say?”

“Please… miss… please…”

When she returned to me, she didn’t rush it.

Everything came back at once.

Sharper now. More focused. The pressure intensified, the rhythm changed, the build faster this time, harder to manage, harder to resist.

Then more.

Layered on top.

Pushing me past the point where I could hold anything back.

My breathing changed. My body tensed. Every part of me reacting at once—

And when it finally tipped over…

She didn’t stop. The sensation didn’t fade.

It continued, held there deliberately, extending it beyond anything I could control, turning release into something overwhelming… something I couldn’t escape from.

When it finally stopped, it didn’t feel like relief.

Just… the end of something I’d never been allowed to control.

⛓⛓⛓

The day ended where it had begun.

By the wall. Paint brush in hand.

Only now, I was standing there in what was left of my t-shirt, stripped of anything that might have resembled dignity, trying to focus on the job I’d come to do.

She stepped back into the room, composed, dressed down… wearing trousers… my trousers.

She glanced at me, then at the wall.

“These are a good fit.”
