Earlier in my life, I spent some years as a governess. I did not have the occasion to be asked to take charge of a woman older than I was, but I did have thoughts of being able to exercise that authority over the mothers by whom I was employed. These mental wanderings aroused me as I considered how I would discipline these middle-aged women and correct them both privately and in front of their husbands, and even their friends. I have tried to set down here a full account of these imagined times when I would dominate these women in their own homes. It would always occur at their request because the idea of a strict young woman controlling their lives in the most intimate ways was clearly as much in their minds as my taking charge of them was present in my thoughts. My interest was to dominate them as adults in an embarrassing way; they were regarded by me as incipient submissives, not as participants in any age play, infantilism, or regression.
It wasn't easy for me to explain to my husband that I needed to change my life. It was as if my dreams had conquered my common sense. I told him that I kept having an overpowering desire to be submissive to a young, strict woman in her 20s—I'm 45—and for her to be totally in control of my daily existence.
My husband has been nothing but supportive in all my efforts to find myself over the years. I've successfully published novels but now I'm acting like a cliched character in one of them. We have had a great sex life, enjoyable times with friends and even relatives, and children now away at college.
This should be the perfect upper middle-class life. What on earth did I have to complain about?
I'm not complaining. Yet I was yearning for something different. I wanted this strict young woman to make me dress the way she wanted me to dress. I was willing to let her cuckold me (does the word apply to it happening other than to a man but to a woman or a wife?) and I hoped she would humiliate me by spanking me in front of both my family and friends. Then she would also supervise me in the bathroom in as many kinky and embarrassing ways she could imagine.
We advertised on appropriately sleazy websites. Ned made me agree that I could call it off at any time that he hoped I would come to my senses. Any woman whom we hired would have to agree to that so we would put up a generous sum to cover any early termination of the arrangement.
I carefully reviewed quite a few applications. Some of the women were obviously unqualified or too old or too inexperienced. I envisioned the ideal governess as a young, strict, attractive woman who enforced severe, old-fashioned discipline.
We made ourselves interview several candidates. The best did appear in delightfully severe outfits. They also were quite attractive. One caught me peeking up her short skirt and told me that if and when she were offered the job, she would take me across her lap and spank my bare bottom for such effrontery.
The young woman we selected was restrained in her manner and her presentation. She said that she found all the things I had listed as desiring were quite reasonable and that she would take charge of me in the way I wanted. Her name was Suzanne and I found myself drawn to her pleasant appearance—attractive without being gorgeous—and well-spoken style to my liking.
She had a sophistication, it seemed, beyond her years. We showed Suzanne her room and the rest of the house. She asked what her relationship would be with my husband. Ned himself answered by saying that he would not be averse to her developing one. We showed her the draft contract and when we all signed, gave her one of the copies. Ned also wrote her the first check for services to be rendered.
Suzanne was about 5-6 and probably weighed 120 pounds or so. She had a nice curvy frame and sandy blonde hair that was tied into a charming ponytail. She had graduated from a Seven Sisters school and dressed nicely without being flashy in any way.
She left to pack her things and returned several hours later. We were delighted that she was ready to start so soon. She had had several good positions but was now between jobs so this was a perfect fill-in for her while she considered what professional direction she would take.
When she arrived, we spent some time in my bedroom and the attached dressing room going through what clothing I would be wearing. I showed her outfits I had worn when I was closer to her age, which was 25. Suzanne quickly informed me that she wanted me to dress suitably for my age, but in a way that would denote my subservient status in the house..
Then we opened my underwear drawer and Suzanne quickly picked out for me my tightest white cotton and antron panties, most full-sized or hicut. She also opened one of her cases and took out some ruffled pink panties and restrictive shaping control undies that she had figured would fit me. She was delighted that I had a few bras I hadn't worn in ages that were very plain and obviously very untrendy. They looked ones your grandmother wore. I also had plain white cotton crew socks and some sports gear and outfits. She didn't like my shoes much but told me I would not be wearing any stylish ones with flair. Instead I would be wearing what used to be called "sensible shoes" which really meant ugly ones but good for your posture.
With her help, I was soon wearing a short but plain skirt and a blouse that looked like its life had been bleached out of it. Suzanne was pleased that from when I had been expected to be dressed up for the office, there were little navy ties I had worn when those were in fashion—part of the "Dress for Success" era. Then we went to her room, where she unpacked her cases and put away her nice clothing.
We went downstairs and Ned drew a breath when he saw me in my short skirt, exposing a lot of thigh. My legs were all right, I thought, probably wrongly, because they were like those of most middle-aged women. But most middle-aged women didn't wear skirts that made it hard to keep your panties from being exposed.
"Deb looks quite nice in her little skirt and blouse, doesn't she, Ned?" Suzanne inquired of my husband as if I were a new protégé she were exhibiting for the first time.
"Yes, Suzanne," Ned answered with a smile. "She looks quite fetching."
"You do understand, Ned, that she must mind all of my directions without running to you to overrule my word," she declared.
"Of course, Suzanne," my husband replied calmly. "She wants and needs your wise discipline, and you have my full support to take any steps in that direction you find to be necessary."
I tried to remain quiet so as not to incur my new governess's wrath. I could see that Suzanne could be quite controlling even though she could affect a pleasant attitude with Ned and anyone else but me. I slipped up and called her by her first name while we conversed.
She immediately put on a stern face and told me that I would always refer to her as "Miss" or "Miss Benson".
"Yes, Miss Benson," I quickly responded.
"I think we need to make sure you remember that, Deborah," she said quickly. "You will now lift your skirt and stand right in front of me."
I got up and walked over to stand facing her in an armless chair while I pulled my skirt up above my waist and tucked it into my belt.
Suzanne leaned forward, put her thumbs in the waistband of my shiny white panties and slowly but efficiently lowered them to my knees. Then she helped me to lie across her tweed-skirted lap. Once there, I was staring at her stockinged shapely legs and actually wondering what she was wearing under it. I was becoming a true submissive.
Then I felt the first spanks I had known as an adult. Suzanne spanked efficiently. She started out methodically and spanked my bottom cheeks alternately. Some of her spanks were aimed at my lower bottom near the crease with my thighs and seemed harder. It was likely that she knew that this was the most sensitive area of my rear end. Being spanked felt exciting but also started to hurt, as I knew it would. It also made me embarrassed even though no one was there to see me get whacked, at least not this time.
