Jack, who was forty, walked back into the bedroom and saw his wife, Emma, who was thirty-six, doing her make-up.
Emma looked across at Jack and said with a smile, "Most of the redness has gone from your eyes, so when we get to the restaurant none of our friends will know that I have thrashed you again today. Of course, that restaurant does have hard wooden benches to sit on, so just make sure you don't squirm around and wince, because, if you do, you may well get asked questions about why that's happening."
Emma looked back at the mirror and finished doing her make-up.
Jack had pretty much recovered from being thrashed by his wife. They were in a mutually agreed FLR marriage. Jack was actually an alpha male at the office, running a large team and very successfully. However, from his late teens, he had had the desire to be wholly submissive to a woman, and that led him to look for girlfriends who were authoritative in their demeanour. Emma certainly fitted that description.
However, even after Jack and Emma became an item and later when they were happily equals in their marriage, Emma had no idea about Jack's feelings which he had never verbalised to anyone.
On the other hand, Jack continued to have those submissive feelings, and over the years browsed the Internet looking at sites where women dominated the men, not just mentally, but physically as well. He looked for sites where the women spanked the men, slapping their faces, smacking their legs, and using wooden-backed hairbrushes, leather belts, and even the cane. It was on those sites that he looked for and happily studied photographs, but also watched videos, satisfying those desires through masturbation when dreaming of the real thing.
Jack even joined an Internet forum mainly of men who told each other how much they wanted to be submissive in their marriages but weren't. Jack admitted on the forum that he just could never bring himself to ask his wife to dominate him, as much as he wanted it to happen. Many on the site encouraged him to have that discussion with his wife, saying so many women felt like they were treated like the weaker sex and would be so up to have a submissive husband. Several of the women on the site supported that view. However, he never plucked up the courage. Some men on the site had done so, or at least said they had done so but had never been able to convince Jack that was the case.
As Jack looked at his wife completing her make-up, feeling only love for her, he remembered the day that it had all changed. It had been a particularly busy day at the office, but a very successful one when he had won a large new contract for the company. He was still elated when he got back home and saw that Emma was sitting at the dining table working on her PC as he went over to her. He thought she looked so beautiful, as she always did, with her long dark hair flowing over her bare shoulders as she was wearing a vest top, and, he saw, a very short skirt. He always loved women's bare arms and bare legs particularly Emma's, and he went over to kiss her.
Just as Jack was about to bend down to kiss his wife, she said in a very stern tone of voice, "We have something we need to discuss, Jack. I was trying to look at my own browsing history when I saw yours. There are masses of photographs and videos of women dominating and beating their husbands. It is very clear to me that you have very strong desires along those lines. You should have told me."
Emma glared at Jack and wasn't surprised that he was blushing and silent, which told her that that was exactly what his desires were.
After just a few moments, Emma continued, "Like I say, Jack, you should've told me that you want an FLR marriage. After all, I can see how that would work for both of us. Anyway, I put that together with the photographs and videos showing women punishing men, by spanking them, using a belt, paddle, and even the cane, and it is very clear to me that you would want that to be part of the FLR relationship. As well as that, there are photographs and videos of women slapping the men around the face and smacking their legs. I could do all of that."
Emma again glared at Jack and he was still silent, or maybe just unable to speak.
Emma again continued, "I can see that an FLR marriage would have lots of benefits for me. One thing, you would have to accept every one of my decisions. You might have opinions yourself, but I wouldn't take those into account. After all, if any opinions you might have mattered to me, I am sure they would have been part of my original decision-making thought process. I wouldn't need you to tell me what your opinions were. In fact, your opinions would be pretty much meaningless."
Emma glared at Jack again and was coming to accept that he was listening to her and not interjecting.
Again Emma continued, "As well as the photographs and videos, I saw a list of rules you would happily obey, and suffer a punishment if you broke any. They included me telling you your bedtime, asking permission to speak, asking permission to watch TV, asking permission to go to the toilet or even to leave the room at any time. You made it clear that you would ask my opinion about everything and accept my opinion every time. You would not question a single thing I say or tell you to do, and if you did then that was another reason to spank you. It was clearly stated at the end of the list that every time you break a rule you get punished."
When Jack still didn't object, Emma continued. "That all set me thinking, and I worked out that you would have to accept me controlling everything. For instance, you would only be allowed to go out with your friends if I gave you permission. If I did give permission, I would tell you the time you had to be home which would be like a curfew. I would make no allowances if you were late but thrash you as soon as you did get home. I will organise our entire social calendar, which I do now anyway but going forward you will just have to check what we are doing and not have a say in it. If we go out together to a restaurant, I would tell the waitress what you will be eating. If with friends we will look as though we are discussing it, but I won't be listening and will choose everything for you. The same for your clothes. It will also be my sole decision if we have sex. I might just tell you to lick me to an orgasm but leave you without one. I would refuse you permission to masturbate. There are lots of other things that I will be controlling as well."
Emma made the statement as though it was definitely happening and again waited for a few moments for Jack to say anything but he didn't. She continued, "If you didn't accept everything then you would have earned yourself a punishment. A bare bottom spanking with my hand would be a given. If I decided you needed more, which invariably I would, then I would use a wooden-backed hairbrush, like the one I use to brush my hair, or a thick leather belt like the ones we both have or a cane, which I see from the forum that you really would like to try given you were never caned at college."
Emma saw the bulge in Jack's trousers that told her he was up for all of this. She waited another few moments and with the silence continued, "You say in your forum entries that if your wife were in disciplinary control then you wouldn't want a safe word but would trust her. I see that entry was made well after we got married and so I am taking it that I am the wife that you trust. You have also said you would sign a contract giving you no get-out out and all your money would go to your wife if you did try to stop the FLR marriage. That was interesting given I am a Solicitor and would be the one drafting the contract. I would make sure as well that the contract confirms your wife, me, makes all the decisions, and if you even start to disagree that would earn you a spanking."
Emma smiled for a moment then continued, "You say the standard punishment should be a spanking with your hand or other implement but after every third spanking you should get the cane with the number of strokes decided only by your wife. I think that should be changed to me deciding what I use to punish you, and it can be the cane every time if that is what I decide. Also, you said on the forum that you would prefer to be tied down when caned so you cannot avoid a single stroke. We have a four-poster bed so we will get wrist and ankle cuffs and secure you in place that way."
Emma waited a few more moments and saw the bulge in Jack's trousers really expand with the description of how he would be secured in place on their bed. Cool, she thought. After waiting another few moments and still Jack didn't say anything, Emma continued, "I decided one more reason to discipline you should be added to the reasons you have set out. I can simply decide to thrash you just because I want to, and no reason is needed other than just that."
