The intimidated slave is now face to face with the cane of Mistress Ariel. She is waltzing back and forth behind his body, so he is technically not face to face with her, but her presence is threatening. She starts the stroking and the slave gulps a huge amount of air and tries to hold it in, stopping himself from screaming out brutally loud. But as the punishement continues, the slave can't help but scream.
