Chapter 14: Husband's Return

After a few weeks sex had become much more of a habit than a joyous coupling as each of them felt duty bound to perform for the other’s pleasure. The spice added by the spanking also became more of a habit than thrill for both of them.

Then a letter arrived for Wendy from Singapore.

David said, “Well, aren’t you going to open it?”

“I’m afraid to,” she replied, “It’s bound to be bad news.”

“Well, it won’t get any better for waiting,” he offered.

She tore the envelope open and scanned the single sheet of paper. “Rodney finishes his assignment in October and wants to come back. Oh God what should I do?”

“That gives you four months to decide,” David observed, “Does he say what happened to the girl he ran off with? Wasn’t she pregnant?”

“She said she was. No, no mention of her. I expect it’s over. His liaisons never lasted.”

“But your marriage did?”

“Yes. I thought I loved him and always forgave him.”

Typical submissive, thought David but aloud he said, “And this time? Will you have him back again? Do you still love him?”
