Once Jenn felt that she could stand on her own, she rose from where Carrick had left her following her punishment. Pain shot through her but although her body was red raw, the pain was bearable and so she set to work cleaning up the mess she had made. She used the wipes as instructed to clean up her filth smeared on the leather table, and ensured that it was spotless before she moved to the bathroom to make herself presentable for her Master.
Her hand flew to her mouth in a shocked silence as she caught sight of her reflection, her beaten skin striped bright red and the mess that had been her make-up. She stood there motionless for a few seconds before she could snap herself out of it. Jenn was most surprised though to find that her skin had not been broken at all and so there was no blood to clean up. She could not help but marvel at the skill that Carrick had in punishing her, as a vampire she supposed he had had a lot of practice but still...
Jenn shook her head to clear it of distracting thoughts and then started to remove her ruined make-up. She had nothing with which to reapply her make-up and so she would have to go without. No make-up was better than this but... Jenn didn't exactly like her face without it, she didn't like it much with it but make-up helped to conceal it at least. There was little she could do about the redness of her eyes from all her crying but that was hardly noticeable compared to her skin.
Knowing that her appearance was not going to get any better than this, she headed back downstairs to find Carrick. Jenn hoped her efforts would be appreciated by him or at least not offend him in any way.
Jenn paused momentarily in the doorway of the room that Carrick was presently sat in, bowing her head respectfully before approaching him and kneeling so to display herself to him properly.
She had not been kneeling long when her Master entered the room, she felt herself tense and freeze as she heard his voice and wanted nothing more than to simply disappear. Jenn felt awkward and very self-conscious and shifted uncomfortably without thought. Carrick's compliment made her blush, happy that she had pleased him.
The slave was grateful to Carrick for the nudge from the riding crop, it snapped her out of her momentary paralysis of fear and apprehension. She knew what was expected of her and would carry out his instructions without any further hesitation. Jenn nodded her head slightly before crawling over towards her Master and throwing herself at his feet in utter submission. Dutifully she kissed his feet before speaking.
"Thank you for having me punished, Master. I thoroughly deserved it for what I did, it won't ever happen again. Please forgive me for my transgressions, I beg you..." Jenn said sincerely, meaning every word even though it had been in part scripted. The fact that she had been prompted with what she should say didn't matter much because it was what she wanted to say to him, Carrick probably knew that. Still she had spoken from the heart and the emotion in her voice as she reached the end were clearly there and genuine.
