My partner and I were about to begin a scene, and she was tied down on a padded horse while I was getting her ready (and nervous) by cracking a whip on the concrete floor.

A call came in on our walk-around phone, and I check the caller ID because our youngest has the car upstate for the weekend. It's not her, but a domme-friend from about 1000 miles away. I mention who it is to my partner, and we quickly planned to prank her.

I answered the phone, panting heavily, and cracked the whip on the floor twice before I spoke. While my partner cried out and moaned loudly, I berated my friend for bad timing. I pulled my mouth away from the receiver and growled, "Hold still, dammit! We're not done here yet!" She began apologizing and promising not to call on Saturday nights again, hemming and hawing, while I grunted repeatedly and my lady gave a particularly loud scream. The domme said, "Uh, you *are* using a safeword, right? You don't want to do serious damage!" We let her in on the joke, and shared a long laugh all around.
