Wendy was clearly in a rather sullen mood for the next two weeks. She felt that Robert had violated her......that things had gone too far......that he was a pervert. Equally, she couldn't avoid the realisation that her own response to his domination had engulfed her whole body and mind in ways she had not thought possible.
Robert was well aware of his wife's mental tumult. He could of course apologise.....promise that he wouldn't go as far again. However, he could also sense that their recent encounters had deeply impacted Wendy, emotionally and erotically. Yes, he knew that he was exploiting her, but could not resist the path of debauchery on which he was leading her.
He decided that it was best to keep a wide berth, leaving her the time and space to achieve some kind of mental 'stasis'.
In the meantime, he accessed more 'information' on the internet. He joined a couple of member-only discussion groups, where he received much enthusiastic encouragement and 'advice'. Also, using the opportunity to plan ahead, he signed up for a mail box, near his workplace.
Using this, he was able to have several 'specialist' on-line purchases delivered, without Wendy's knowledge. To begin with, he ordered a traditional school cane, a leather 'Lochgelly' tawse, a ball-gag, lockable handcuffs, white nylon bondage rope and some nipple clamps.
Surreptitiously, he hid his newly acquired fetish items in the loft; a place that Wendy had never ventured.
Now three weeks on, (having had no sexual contact whatever), Wendy received a telephone call from Carol, suggesting an after work drink to catch up.
The two women chatted lightly over a glass of wine, before Carol referred back to their Sunday lunch meeting:
"I loved your outfit the other day, Wendy"
"Oh, thank you!"
"I know Jeff liked it....he hardly took his eyes off you! Believe me, we had words in the car afterwards.....they're so weak, aren't they?"
"Oh, sorry......still, its nice to be noticed for a change......."
"That young guy at the bar certainly noticed......what did he say?"
Wendy wasn't expecting this line of questioning from her friend, and blushed.
"Nothing really"
"Go on, spill the beans!"
"Well, if you must know, he said I had a nice 'ass' and wanted my phone number"
"I saw him pinching your bottom.......was it nice!?"
"Well.............yes, I suppose it was really.......he did it sort of in slow motion......a sexy squeeze rather than a pinch."
"I think Robert and Jeff saw as well. Did Robert say anything about it afterwards, you naughty girl?"
"No, but it must have revved him up.......he came at me once we got home!"
"Came at you! What does that mean!?"
Wendy was not prepared to reveal her shocking 'bondage' experience, but decided to confide an earlier experience instead.......
" He spanked me. It's not the first time either. He seems to like it."
"Wow!................. Do you like it?"
"I didn't really to begin with, but now, I don't know.....yes, I suppose I do......"
"God, that sounds so kinky.....so sexy! I wish Jeff would spank me!"
"It worries me sometimes.....that we're becoming 'perverted' or something....."
"Honestly Wendy, its really quite common........they even discuss it in my monthly fashion magazine!"
Wendy was loosening up. Somehow the chance to unburden herself to a trusted female friend was becoming irresistible.
"He makes me dress up and display myself....I have to suck him off afterwards"
"Oh god, Wendy, that sounds so erotic. I'd love to see that!"
"I just worry about where it will all end Carol. He's always introducing something new. Something humiliating. Something perverted."
"Look Wendy, why don't you call me the next time its going to happen.......I can check with you when he's finished......for safety....and well, for the juicy details!"
Their conversation continued in this way for another half an hour, before they departed....agreeing to keep in touch.
That evening, Wendy cuddled up to Robert on the sofa and gave him a peck on the cheek. No words were necessary. He knew he had won.....
A few days later he fetched the cane from the loft and hid it beneath the spare bed.
Wendy had been somewhat reassured by her conversation with Carol. Still, there had been no sex....even on their habitual Sunday afternoons. She felt sure she knew what was coming.......
Sitting at home after work with a cup of tea, the phone rang:
"Hello darling. I'll be home at 6.00 PM. Can you wear something nice for me?"
The coded words that Wendy knew, oh so well.....
"Yes, OK, Robert"
Immediately afterwards, she rang Carol.....
"It's happening Carol. He's going to spank me again tonight!"
"This is so exciting Wendy. Please please call me again later with all the details.....I can't wait!......oh, and best of luck. Hope it doesn't hurt too much!"
"Well, thank you for your concern, I'm sure! OK I'll phone you later this evening. Bye"
