Twenty pounds
and two canings
That's the cost
of returning items to Ralph Lauren after Christmas, or at least it's the cost to me. I've
paid the twenty quid and been caned once, one still to go if he
remembers......but I got my returns sorted, didn't have to drive up the M6,
which I hate, and (I think) almost persuaded my husband on the drive back that
we should take a winter break.
The deal was made after a couple of glasses of wine
(I'd have negotiated out of the twenty quid in favour of a third caning if I'd
been thinking clearly:)) and it came about after my pre-xmas trip to Chester and
the designer outlet at Cheshire Oaks. I bought quite a lot of stuff, amongst it
a RL jacket for myself and a Polo sweater for P as a Christmas
present. I was delighted with the jacket until a couple of days after buying it
my son showed me some Barbours online which looked much nicer and he gets
discount. I sent for one and it was brilliant, much better all round than the
RL, sorry RL. Then the sweater I gave P on Christmas day had a tiny snag on the
front which I hadn't noticed in store and he said didn't matter but I said no way.
So I said we need to go back, notice we not I. P
said it was hardly worth a trip, the jacket looked good so why not keep it
and use it, and as for the sweater why not take it into Bham next time I
go and swap it for a snag free one. I told him that couldn't be done, the
outlet store goods aren't interchangeable with high street stores, he said
I could sweet talk a sales assistant into doing it but I assured him it wouldn't
work. He wasn't convinced. Then I told him how much the RL had cost and that
changed his perspective, he said he thought I'd told him it was cheap at the
outlet and I said I did and it was and it was a very good deal but I wouldn't
feel happy keeping it now I'd got the Barbour. He said he should think not and
that's when he agreed to drive up there with me but he said I had to pay the
petrol about 30 pounds and buy lunch. I reminded him there was an item of
his to be exchanged too so he said OK reduce the petrol cost and take
a caning instead, this was all light hearted banter you understand. I must
have agreed too quickly and with poorly
concealed enthusiasm because he followed up with 'Make that two canings
now that I know how much you spent on the jacket'. I said is that the
final offer and he said yes, and that was it we shook hands on
it.
On Saturday morning I was up bright and early,
before P for a change, I put a crisp twenty under his wallet so that he
couldn't miss it. He noticed it right away when he came downstairs and said he
liked that, a woman of her word. Then he got himself a mug of coffee and said if
we set off early we could stop off in Chester, he didn't think the outlet stores open before 10am anyway so I agreed, then he told me I should accompany him
upstairs, he had a little job to do before we left, he wanted me to know he kept
his word too. I guessed what the little job was and said didn't he want to
sit and drink his coffee and it would make us late and what about the drive
it would be uncomfortable. He just said it wouldn't be uncomfortable for him and
smirked.
In the bedroom he told me to stand by the bed
and take my jeans down.
I heard him take another slurp of coffee then the
wardrobe door slid open, I presumed he'd put a cane in there.
"Take your knickers down too," he said as he
came and stood at my left side, "and bend over with your hands flat on the
duvet."
I closed my eyes and scrunched the duvet with my
hands, I hadn't expected it and didn't really want it. The stroke seemed
to take ages coming and I thought he must be drinking his coffee or something
and I made to get up, I was going to suggest perhaps he kept his
word some other time. Then I heard the swish and my husband's
cane bit ferociously into my bottom causing me to gasp out loud
then 'Ooooouw P that was hard' as I turned my head towards him
intending to ask him to please be lenient. Unfortunately another stroke
landed before I could make my plea and I squealed
and thudded my feet on the
floor stamping from side to side.
"Keep still stop making such a fuss, only
another four," said my husband, "a deal's a deal."
I took the next four strokes better, they were
lighter then the first two but still left my backside raging. Then my husband's
hand patted my bum and he told me to pull up my knickers and jeans and we'd get
going. He pecked me on my cheek as I stood up and then he was off downstairs.
Ten minutes later we were heading for the M6, me a bit wriggly but that eased
off after half an hour or so and before we reached Chester I'd started to
feel a bit horny. I really hadn't wanted to be caned but the afterglow in my bum
and the prospect of a shopping expedition with my caner had set me up nicely. We
had an enjoyable day, or part day actually, and on the way back I started
talking about holidays and P didn't change the subject for a change, in fact
when I told him about the discounts some of the travel firms were offering on
low season breaks he said they sounded interesting and I should send him
a few links. Whoopee.
I don't know if or when I'll get the other caning,
I won't remind him. But if I do get it, if it's the same as that one Saturday
morning, and if I'm in the mood, I think I might like it because although I
made a fuss it wasn't really too severe and not too long either, just about
right.
Have a good week.
