Katherine Takes Control Chapter 2
In which Katherine introduces Robert into their lives.....
After nearly eight years of marriage Katherine had taken charge of their domestic life. John became comfortable with his position as a 'house husband' and particularly looked forward to, and, surprisingly, enjoyed, the punishments that Katherine had recently decided upon to correct shoddy work. John was apprehensive about the pending visit of Robert, who worked for his wife and who Katherine had arranged to come to their home to make a professional assessment on the way the home was run. But this is what Katherine wanted so, after mild dissension, he had accepted it. He spent five days preparing for Robert's planned visit.
Robert arrived at exactly 9.00 am as planned. He was a tall, well built, self assured guy with broad shoulders, a likeable face and a mass of untidy dark hair on his head. He was rugged looking, clean shaven and attractive. He was about fifty years old, was dressed in a business suit and carried a briefcase.
John showed him into the sitting room where Robert retrieved a notebook from his briefcase. He told John that he would get on with the assessment but would be grateful for a coffee. It seemed somewhat arrogant of Robert to demand a coffee before it was offered to him, however John proceeded to the kitchen to prepare it. Shortly, Robert joined him and John gave him his coffee. "The sitting room and dining room were quick to assess," he told John. "And I am glad to tell you that they have got 5 marks each. Did Katherine explain the marking system?"
"Yes, she told me that you would grade between one and five with five as the best." John was rather pleased with the scores so far. Those hours spent cleaning the house had paid off. Perhaps this visit would not be as much of a problem as he had anticipated.
"The kitchen will take a bit longer as I need to inspect general cleanliness as well as food hygiene and all the electrical appliances. Let's start with the fridge." He took a good look around the fridge and as he did so he made various notes. John watched as he inspected the freezer, cooker and other appliances. When asked, John pointed out the waste food bin and other items. John sensed that the kitchen inspection was not going as well as that of the previous rooms.
When Robert had finished he asked him how it had gone.
"Well the fridge has some old food in it so that has scored two. The waste disposal has not been properly cleaned for sometime so that scored one. Other appliances were not too bad but the overall kitchen score for cleanliness is two."
"What do those scores mean?" John asked.
"In our business world a 'one' is unsatisfactory merits a revision of the contract. 'Two' indicates a facility is not up to the standard required and merits a discussion and a small penalty charge." As this was explained John was wondering how Katherine would interpret 'penalty'. This could be interesting, he thought. His cock stiffened. Robert continued: "I need to look at the rooms upstairs now." Together they left the kitchen and went up the stairs. Robert asked which room was their bedroom. John showed him. He was somewhat embarrassed as he felt that their room should be out of bounds to strangers. Robert started opening drawers and looking inside them.
"I regret that the cupboards and drawers are personal and I don't want you looking in them." John told him purposely.
"I understood from Katherine that I was to undertake a full inspection," he replied.
"Well I don't think that she meant for you to look into our personal possessions."
"We better clarify that with Katherine." As he said this he took out his mobile phone and dialled "Hi Katherine it's Robert" There was a pause. "Oh yes it is all going well. A few minor problems with the kitchen but otherwise OK so far." There was another pause while she replied. "Well we are upstairs now and John tells me that I should not inspect the main bedroom."
After listening to the reply he handed the phone to John. "She wants to speak to you."
"What's up darling?" she asked.
John explained that he didn't think that Robert should be going into their personal stuff in the bedroom.
"Darling, Robert is a professional assessor. To do a proper assessment he needs full access. Let him get on with his job."
"Full access?" John asked.
"Full access," she repeated angrily. Little did he realise at the time how those two words were going to come back and haunt him later.
He didn't think that it was worth arguing however, as he knew that if he did she would undermine him.
"Put Robert back on."
John handed the phone back to Robert.
"Yes, very well Katherine. My report will be with you by Friday evening. Yes, I will certainly
include a recommendation on possible remedies."
He cut the call and looked at John with a smug smile on his face. "OK," John said dejectedly, "You can have full access."
"Good." It was not long before John saw Robert handling Katherine's bras, panties and other intimate clothing. Robert held up a pair of light blue lace, see through French knickers with its matching bra. "Nice." Robert said. "I would love to see Katherine filling these." Robert had touched a raw nerve. Not only was John shocked to hear another man speak about his wife in this manner but he had lovingly given the sexy lingerie to Katherine on her last birthday.
John was embarrassed seeing Robert touching her intimate clothing; but he also found it erotic. Robert was handling the sexy bra and panties that Katherine had recently worn. He imagined Katherine wearing the lingerie and parading in front of Robert, or perhaps in front of them both.
His thoughts were cut short by Robert. "Where is the laundry basket?"
John pointed it out to him. He looked inside. He extracted a pair of Katherine's panties.
God this is embarrassing. Robert put down his notebook and studied the panties with both hands turning them inside out. He looked at John, showing them to him. There was a distinct stain in the gusset. He returned them to the basket without saying a word.
Robert sat down on the bed.
"Katherine asked me to look at remedies for shortcomings," he told John.
"I don't understand." John replied.
"Well there must be penalties for low scores. With a commercial organisation it would result in a financial penalty or, in the worst case, a suspension of contract. But we need to work out a suitable penalty for a domestic situation."
John wondered where this was leading. "Well I am sure that Katherine and I can sort something out."
"Well, Katherine asked my advice." He paused again looking at John. "Tell me, John. Does Katherine discipline you?"
John took a sudden breath. His heart thumped and his cock twitched again. It was hardening again. He was highly embarrassed. Butterflies were running riot in his stomach. He liked Robert. He was a manly type who would not stand for any nonsense. John admired this and felt slightly under his spell, even though he resented the question.
"Well does she?" Robert repeated.
What right did this man have to ask such a personal question? He was reluctant to answer, but he knew that Katherine, if she was here, would demand a reply. His knees felt weak and he held on to the door for support. He cleared his throat. "Er.... Yes."
"What does she use?"
God how embarrassing! John squirmed. He looked up from the floor "Well that hair brush mostly," John told him pointing to the hair brush on Katherine's dressing table.
