When I was a welder I found a liking for steel. It can stand up to a lot of punishment and not have any issues. Steel was a great plaything that could be worked any way you wanted it does what you want it to do. As such I had little appreciation for items made of wood. I thought that steel was a much better choice for play room applications. That was until one Friday night a few years ago.
I had been in to the scene for about 6 months. At this time I was a full time sub. My mistress at that time liked showing me off and took me out as often as possible. Often I would be chained to an over head beam and be flogged and spanked till my mistress was content and then let down. This usually would get a few onlookers as I could really take a beating.
On this one particular night a cross had been brought in for a demonstration. The demo had gone well and the sub had been dismissed for the evening. The Dom decided to stay around and watch the festivities. Like usual I was getting flogged and the Dom had taken an interest. After my mistress had finished the Dom started a conversation with her and asked if she could have a turn with me. My mistress did not mind but asked if I would be okay with it. I readily agreed and was taken down and escorted over to the wooden cross.
The cross was fairly plain in design just a wood platform with a center post and two arms with rings placed here and there to attach the subs. I was placed facing the post arms spread to each end. My new mistress started slowly working up to a good rhythm and increasing intensity. As the blows got harder I started to pull at my restraints with every blow. This is something I have always done on the beam with no effect on the device holding me on place. The cross was different. Every time I tensed up the cross creaked. This got the attention of every one in the room. Smack, creak, Smack, creak. The harder she swung the more I pulled. The noise from the wood straining to hold me worked my new mistress up more and more. She seemed bent on seeing what would break first me or the cross. Slowly my new mistress eased up and brought this session to an end. I was let down and returned to my old mistress for the rest of the night. Since then my original mistress has picked up some wood furniture for her playroom just to hear it strain trying to hold down her toys. Now that I also top myself I find certain please hearing the sound of creaking wood myself.
