Mandy Evans scanned the back wall of the shoe store- the men's section. Kneeling down, she ran a finger across the edge of each box until one caught her fancy. Inside was a pair of sleek, black leather slippers. She reached into the box, wrapped her fingers around the right one and slowly pulled it out. She bent the slipper over, testing its flexibility then slapped it loudly across the palm of her left hand. The smacking sound startled a few other customers slightly. Not bothered by the attention, Mandy slapped the sole against her palm again and again. She then ran the slipper beneath her nose, deeply inhaling the rich, heady leather aroma.
Mandy brought the box to the front counter. A young man in a bow tie who was manning the register looked down at the slippers. A confused look came across on his face.
"Are you sure these are the right size?"
"Doesn't matter." Mandy said, handing the clerk her credit card. "I won't be wearing them."
"Oh, so it's a gift for a man."
"Well, it may be his gift." she said with a wry smirk. "But I'm the one who's going to get it!"
Still a bit befuddled by the woman's words, the sales clerk finished the transaction and put the box in a bag.
"Here you go."
Mandy opened the lid, removed the left slipper and handed it to the man.
"You can keep this or throw it away. We won't be using it."
She then turned and headed out of the store.
"Um... okay. Have a nice day." he replied, waving the unwanted slipper as he spoke.
"Thanks, you too." Mandy replied politely as she stepped out the door.
An older woman who'd heard the exchange approached the counter with her purchase. She noticed the perplexed look on the clerk's face.
"Slippers have more than one use." she said with a slightly wistful smile.
As she made her way through the mall, Mandy was also smiling but the grin on her face was due to eager anticipation. She would soon be facing the music- a sound spanking with a well chosen instrument across the knee of her loving husband, Neil. And this would be no ordinary sexual appetizer, this was his birthday. The light bottom smacking sessions she normally allowed Neil to administer often made Mandy feel flirtatious, even a bit horny and usually resulted in her pleasuring him with her hand or mouth. But on those rare, special occasions when Neil was given the green light to redden her bottom with a full-fledged walloping, she was invariably brought to a state of uncontrollable carnal desire.
Neil arrived home at five-thirty to find a package stylishly wrapped in colored paper on the table in the foyer. He picked it up and headed into the living room where he discovered his wife clad in footy drop-seat long johns kneeling beside the coffee table with her head bowed.
