hi
let me clarify the situation. She was tied for about two hours, but the ropes weren't that tight that her tits were purple. Because she was moving about her nipples were really sensitive because they were rubbing against her clothes and the house was a bit cold.
Maybe I also need to define the paddling, it was gently hitting with the paddle but on the same spot for a while, certainly nothing that would normally cause pain but a gentle 'buzz'.
Velvet had been fine about it and has no problems with what I did, it was within the normal confines of our playing and something we've done before and almost certainly something we'll do again. Normally after we've played we'll discuss what happens, how each of us felt and how it was for both of us. Apart from a little disappointment about using the safe word she enjoyed it all, even the pain. There are no marks left on her and she's fine now.
I certainly had no intention on making her say the safety word. I have to admit to wanting to see how far she would go, but never to the point of seriously hurting her.
Hope this clears things up a bit.
