Have you ever noticed how you can have two people of very similar personalities and you find you get on well with one and fight like cat and dog with the other? That's how it is with me, Alice, my wife, and Janice, her sister. Alice and Janice are only about a year apart in age, look very much the same, have personalities that are very similar but, and it's a big but, there is a huge difference with the way I interact with them.
Alice and I get on just fine. We have our differences, but are able to overcome them and go on our way together, united. Janice and I fall into the cat and dog area. Where I'm concerned she's an irritating, scratching, pest that will forever be untrainable. A typical cat. She considers me to be a lap-dog, always scurrying to do as Alice wants.
When she talks to me she's full of snark, mouthing off at me, and being generally insulting. I, being a gentleman, or a reasonable representation thereof, forebear sinking my lap-dog teeth into her. Neither do I follow her around, yapping at her. I guess I do a Great Dane act, ignoring these little things that are beneath my dignity.
Janice's attitude towards me is also a sore point with Alice, although she hasn't said anything to Janice about it. She wants me to handle the problem.
"Really, Nick," she grumbled one day after Janice had visited. "How can you possibly put up with her attitude the way you do? Why don't you slap her down? We both know you're capable of it."
"We both know nothing of the sort," I promptly informed her. "If I try to take her to task she'll promptly start screaming at me, blame me for everything, and storm out without listening to anything I say."
Alice glowered at me, but had to admit I spoke the truth. Janice was not one to stay around and be shouted at.
"There must be something you can do," she huffed.
"True," I agreed, "but I don't think either you or Janice would consider my spanking her to be a reasonable thing to do."
"I would," Alice promptly returned. "She's done more than enough to deserve it. Just tell her to behave or you'll spank her. That should fix things."
"Uh-huh. And let us say that I resort to a spanking. What would happen after the spanking?"
"Well, surely she'd get the hint and behave herself."
"Really? What would happen if I found it necessary to spank you?"
Alice blushed. We had found the odd occasion where I could justify a nice little spanking, and the real fun punishment came after the spanking concluded.
"Um, yes, I see," grumbled Alice. "Of course, you couldn't very well do that after spanking her."
She seemed to consider the matter for a moment.
"Why couldn't you do that after spanking her?" she demanded. "God knows she's earned it."
"Ah, there is a slight difference between a wife and a sister-in-law," I explained.
"Yes, well I know that, but you'd be keeping it all in the family. As long as I was there to observe I can't see what the harm would be."
I blinked at that. Alice would be quite comfortable with me spanking Janice and then fucking her? She wanted to watch it happen? It seemed to me that Alice was a bit more upset about Janice's attitude than I realised.
"How about we meet halfway," I suggested. "I'll warn Janice and if she pushes it I'll put her across my knee and spank her. After that we kick her out of the house and you can take the rest of the medicine."
I thought that would be acceptable because Alice did enjoy some frisky bed activity. She seemed to be considering the idea.
"I assume you would want to spank her bare bottom?" she asked, and I nodded. Of course I would. More fun that way.
"Then if her bottom is already bare then I see no reason why you couldn't continue and give her the rest of the medicine," Alice said triumphantly. "Bend her forward over something and take her from behind. That will really irritate her as she likes to be in control when she has sex."
OK. Note to self. Don't piss off Alice. She could be vindictive.
I let the issue drop but kept it in the back of my mind. Next weekend Janice dropped in to visit us again. As I was the one to answer the door I was the one who got to break the happy news to her. As soon as she saw my standing at the door she smirked and her eyes lit up. She opened her mouth to fire off a volley, but I got in first.
