On the way home in her large Jaguar, my wife tried to suppress a snicker, which became a snigger, and finally a full-blown laugh.
We were giving her sexy best friend, Paula Pain, a lift back to our place for drinks after my second humiliation session with Maitresse Yvette, and I was – naturally – in the back seat, my rightful place, I guess, now I was being trained as my wife's sex slave.
"What's so funny?" asked the blue-eyed blonde, as Tanya negotiated heavy afternoon traffic.
"Oh, I'm sorry," said Tanya, "but it's that appalling woman Yvette. If I hear her come out with another 'horal' for oral, or 'horgasm' for orgasm I know I'll simply burst out laughing and it will totally spoil the mood of the punishment session."
Paula nodded. "I know what you mean. One 'horal' or 'horgasm' is quite amusing to start with, but constant repetition does tend to make it less and less funny."
"I mean," said Tanya, exchanging honked horns with an idiot in a delivery van who cut across our bows without any signal, "who does she think she's kidding?"
"Agreed," said Paula. "Before I engaged her to conduct the behaviour modification for my bastard of a husband I did some inquiries into her. Do you what her real name is?"
Tanya shook her head.
It was now Paula's turn to laugh. "It's Betty French – hence the assumed nationality, I suppose – and she's from Hounslow. Hounslow – I ask you!"
Tanya gripped the steering wheel tightly. "Oh fuck, that's so precious." And then my wife put on an imitation French accent: "Bonjour, mon esclave, je suis Betty French from 'Ounslow. 'Ow would you like to geev me an horal horgasm?"
Paula and Tanya both burst into laughter and I must admit I had to fight back a fit of the giggles.
When they'd both recovered, Tanya announced: "Well, I've had enough of it. I've decided that I know enough about how to dom poor old Rupert by now. And you can help me out, as well.
"I'm giving 'Maitresse Yvette' her marching orders. Next week, instead of her bloody silly 'passing out parade' I intend to have you and my sister Vanya along to complete his 'passing out' parade, more of a graduation ceremony, I think."
My heart gave a leap – no more humiliation at the hands of the sexy but awful fake-maitresse.
"Hold on," said Paula, "there will be a cancellation fee."
"No problem," said Tanya, "slut in the back seat here can pay it – after all, he's been paying for his behavioural modification sessions anyway."
She drove on for a moment, then added: "Rupert, I'm in such a good mood, I'm going to let you invite one more person along next Monday. That'll make four of us – an ideal number for some serious domination."
Once more my heart gave a leap. A choice! My penis started to stir in my pants and once it got fully aroused I knew there was no way it would go down – I was still wearing the anal intruder and the rubber bands were still strapped to my slave's collar.
"Who's it to be, Rupert?" asked my wife. "Make a choice."
I remembered Mrs Frobisher's hushed "We must do this again soon" which she had whispered to me during our dry hump and after she had urinated down my mouth. I had fancied the tall, long-legged blonde, even though she had slightly smaller breasts than my wife, my sister-in-law, or Paula.
"Mrs Frobisher, please, darling," I said, trying to keep the excitement from my voice. But Tanya spotted it instantly.
"Oh, Paula, he's got the hots for Jan Frobisher," she laughed. "You fancy her, don't you, slut?"
I nodded my head. "Yes, darling, she's rather lovely."
Tanya laughed. "Good, I'll remind her, we can get her to do something really diabolical to you, then."
Later that week, my wife informed me she had called "Maitresse Yvette" and cancelled any further sessions. But my relief was tempered by Tanya's next remark. "And tomorrow," she said, "you're taking me up to Soho so we can visit a sex shop and get some items for your continued punishment."
Tanya allowed me to drive her Jaguar up to town the next day. The Lotus, she reckoned, was too cramped. After leaving Naomi in charge, Tanya took me to a sex shop not four doors away from my BDSM book store. It had a sign hanging on the door "Closed: fuck off and come back later". I felt somewhat relieved, but it was only temporary.
Tanya rapped on the door and a curtain was pulled back. A hard-looking middle-aged woman peered at my wife, then me, then unlocked the door.
"Ello dearie," she said to me.
"Hello, Deidre," I replied. Deidre was a "regular" at my book shop, often purchasing books to read up on the latest fads and styles in sado-mashochism. "And you must be Mrs Taylor, eh love?"
"Hello, Deidre," said Tanya. "Well, as I explained on the phone, I need some gear. So do your sales spiel."
The busty, blowsy blonde, garbed garishly in a black leather mini, knee high leather boots and a leather jacket, its red contrasting hideously with the skirt and boots, smiled: "It'll be my pleasure, ducks – but I doubt that it'll be his 'ighness's."
Deidre then sold my wife an array of floggers, crops, whips and ball-busting parachutes – sorry, make that parachute, Tanya decided only one would be necessary. She purchased nipple clamps, weights for my ball bag, a spreader bar, a rubber ball gag and a dildo gag.
"Now for the piece de resistance," said Deidre, thankfully making no Mistress Yvette attempt at French pronunciation, "we've got this luvverly floggin' frame."
She pointed to a pair of metal poles standing about seven feet high and four feet wide, joined at the top by a cross bar. It stood on castor wheels and had various straps and D-rings attached.
"We'll never get it in the car," said Tanya.
"Yus, you will, luvvy," said Deidre, "it's collapsible."
"Ingenious," said Tanya, running a hand appreciatively along the gleaming metal pole. "I like it. Rupert, on the other hand, probably won't."
Deidre sniggered. "Give him time, ducks, and 'e'll beg you for it," she said. "All men love a bit of femdom from time to time in their lives and I bet old 'airy legs 'ere's no different, eh Rupert?"
I nodded. "I'm warming to it, Deidre," I smiled, amazed at what I was saying. I think I was still remembering Mrs Frobisher and her sweet-smelling snatch, her long legs, her pretty face. I began to get hard, merely thinking about her.
