WIP It Up Wednesday and Black Dorn #WIPITUPWEDNESDAY

Welcome to Erotic Notions and WIP It Up Wednesday. This snippet is a continuation from my erotic medieval romance - Black Dorn. 
I'll be going around and reading posts this week - got my WIP done last Wed and sent it off to my beta. Yay me!
Set Up –The end of an unsuccessful training day.
(for those who haven't started at the beginning – Duna means instructor –  so Duna Trea is Branwyn's instructor. A Dune is one who is to be instructed. Branwyn is a Dune. Gon means King and lastly Gon Dra means Heir to the Throne. And tragor means duty.)



Trea loosened a tie, roughly rolled her onto her belly. A jolt of pain surged through Branwyn's buttocks. And again. Trea stopped. "Branwyn. move again and I will instruct you mercilessly. Tragor." She fought against her ties. Her arms ached from the strain. "I will not. This is wrong. I hate you!" "Remove yourself." The duna yelled at the man. He scurried from the room. Trea turned. "Now, you." She tapped Branwyn with her crop. "I am disappointed. I thought you finally understood tragor. This is used to break horses and insolent dunes. This is going to hurt. Your flesh will burn and tears will stream down your cheeks. Begging will only get you more punishment. Submitting will not lessen the number of strokes but it will not add any more. I have not the strength of a man, but I will not be weak in my instruction of you." Shaking and sobbing, Branwyn clenched her eyes and waited. The crop cracked on her buttocks time and again. Screams escaped from Branwyn’s lips. "Mercy, please Duna Trea. I beg you. Mercy." Between her screams, darkness filled Branwyn’s head. Trea exited. Leah entered and knelt next to Branwyn. A noise made her look up. The gon-dra walked across the room. With a gentle touch, Leah applied a soothing paste of herbs and oils.
       Malack loosened the ties binding her to the floor, lifted and carried her to her bed. For a moment, he stared down at Branwyn then turned and left the room without speaking.
