Mandy was really annoyed with Jimmy, who, once again, came home late and certainly was the worst for drink. Mandy was twenty-eight, Jimmy was thirty-two, they had been married for about five years, and both had full-time well-paid jobs. 

Jimmy had said that he was going to be going for a drink with work colleagues after work, but he would be back home by about 7 o'clock. As it turned out, he didn't get back till after 9 o'clock. Worse was that he had clearly had a few too many drinks. 

Mandy was really fed up with Jimmy, because, had he got back on time, they were then going to friends. However, it was now too late for that. 

Jimmy was apologetic when he got home, and said he wouldn't do it again. 

Mandy pointed out that that was exactly what Jimmy had said last time, and the time before that, and every time before that as well. She then asked, "Do you remember what we discussed last time, Jimmy?" 

Jimmy did remember, but was blushing. He had once again had a bit too much to drink then as well, and had voiced a long-held fantasy of his, which was to be spanked by a dominant woman. As soon as he had made the comment, he had said he hadn't meant it, but Mandy reckoned that he did actually mean it. She knew that, albeit just the once, Jimmy had left the history on his computer, which Mandy had seen, and there were plenty of sites that Jimmy had looked at where women spanked and even caned the men. When she had raised this with Jimmy, he did deny it, but, like now, was blushing, so Mandy knew that he had looked at those websites. 

So, Mandy asked Jimmy again, "Come on, Jimmy, remind me what we discussed last time." 

To be fair, Jimmy had given some more thought to that discussion, several times in fact, since they had had the discussion. He had imagined himself across Mandy's lap, picturing her in a very short skirt, and a very tight vest top showing off her midriff. He knew that he had always had a thing about women's bare arms and bare legs, and, for some reason, linked that to him being spanked. He even often masturbated, picturing that exact scene, and having huge orgasms leading to large stains in his pyjamas. 

Whilst Jimmy didn't realise it, Mandy had always checked Jimmy's pyjamas and even his underwear, to see whether any of it was wet. She was surprised how often that was the case. So, when she found her husband's browsing history, it was very easy to link the two, and knew exactly what Jimmy actually wanted to happen to himself. 

However, Mandy also knew that there was quite a big leap between wanting something and actually getting it. She wouldn't have been surprised if Jimmy had fantasied about being spanked, but would never actually want to be spanked. Equally, it might be that he would want to be spanked, but not by his wife. If that was the case, she certainly didn't want to encourage him to find someone else to spank him. 

What Mandy knew, was that on occasions like this, when Jimmy really had annoyed her, she reckoned that she would really be up for giving him a spanking, or even worse, maybe thrashing him with one of her thick leather belts. In fact, as she had thought about that, she knew there were several occasions when Jimmy focused on those leather belts when she wore them, rather than looking her in the eye. Again, she was making assumptions, but it did make sense. 

So, now Jimmy had been late again, Mandy was annoyed, and was demanding that Jimmy did repeat the discussion that they had had last time. 

As Mandy pressed him, Jimmy was wondering whether Mandy wanted him to repeat that discussion so that she could then demand that she give him a spanking. Could that possibly be the case, he wondered? He knew that she was forthright, with strong opinions, and that was part of the reason that he was so attracted to her. It was only later, when he saw Mandy in a tight vest top and a very short skirt with bare legs, that he started to imagine her spanking him. 

What flashed through Jimmy's mind, was whether he should test Mandy by repeating the discussion they had last time, and then seeing if she insisted on spanking him. He had often wondered what the downside would be if he did ask Mandy to spank him, and, of course, came up immediately with her being disgusted by that, and leaving him. On the other hand, whilst she might not want to spank him, she might say to herself that because she was so annoyed, and stressed, spanking him might well release that stress. Of course, it could still happen that she spanked him, and then said she was going to leave him because she was so disgusted. 

Mandy could see the thoughtful look on Jimmy's face, and wondered whether he was thinking through whether to ask her to give him a spanking. She knew that the discussion they had, the one she was referring to, was held just a couple of days after she had found Jimmy's browsing history. Since then, she had wondered what she would do if Jimmy specifically asked her to spank him. She knew that, at the office, he was one of the most important people there, and everybody looked up to him. Could someone like that actually want to be spanked, she wondered? 

Now, given that thoughtful look on Jimmy's face, she wondered if she could, maybe, tease him into saying what he really wanted., It made sense to Mandy to do that, because, if she spanked him the once, then, maybe, he would accept her right to spank him at any time that he disobeyed her. She had heard someone at her office talking about female-led marriages, although, to be fair, that specific case was where the husband kept getting sacked from his jobs, and all the money came in from the wife's salary. That wasn't the case here, because they both earned good salaries. 

Mandy was silently thinking these thoughts as Jimmy was silently thinking his, and it was Mandy who decided to make the first move. She made sure that her voice sounded as though she was frustrated at the delay by Jimmy to respond, and said, "You know very well, Jimmy, that last time you asked me to give you a spanking. I know you retracted that straight away, but there's no question that was what you asked for. Well, I think that is exactly what should happen now. So, let's do it." 

Mandy then glared at Jimmy, daring him to object. Of course, she did expect him to object, and quite forcibly, but she reckoned that she could laugh her way out of it if he did object. 

The thoughts of what he should do were bouncing around Jimmy's mind, and he knew it was far too risky to let Mandy spank him. He may well actually want that to happen, not just now but on other occasions when he let her down, but did he really want a wife with that kind of authority and control over him? He could see so many downsides to it. 

What shocked Jimmy, though, was his reply. He looked at his wife with her blazing eyes, long dark hair and fringe framing her beautiful face, she wasn't wearing a vest top or very short skirt, but she was wearing a summery sleeveless dress, and a hem that was well up above her knees. So, she had bare arms and bare legs, and, in addition, such an authoritative tone of voice. The shock, was that he didn't object but instead replied, "Okay, Mandy, spank me." He realised immediately what he had said, but, rather than state once again that he didn't mean it, he thought he would seek Mandy's sympathy by adding, "However, I don't know if I'll be able to take a really hard spanking." 

Mandy was shocked, but managed to keep a straight face. She wasn't sure how she did that, but she did manage it. Within a moment, she then ordered, "Okay, Jimmy, go upstairs to the bedroom. I understand your concern, so I think what's best is if I tie you down on the bed, and then spank your bottom." 

Jimmy was again shocked because he really had wondered how hard a spanking he could take, and, having looked at so many websites, he did see the benefit of being tied down, so long as Mandy didn't overdo things. He was sure that she wouldn't, and so replied, "Okay, Mandy, that sounds good." 

Mandy followed Jimmy upstairs and as Jimmy went into their bedroom, Mandy went into one of the spare bedrooms where she knew she had some ropes which she thought she could use to tie him down with. She took the ropes in with her to their bedroom, saw the tense look on Jimmy's face, and said, "Okay, Jimmy, why don't you help me set this up. If we tie a rope to each of the four legs of the bed, and then tie each end around your wrist and ankles, you'll be secured in place, and I can then spank you." 

Jimmy didn't see anything wrong with that, and happily helped Mandy tie the four pieces of rope around the legs of the bed, and then there were four ends of the rope on the bed. In fact, as Jimmy helped to set up the ropes, he realised how that would help him live out his fantasy, and being tied down was turning him on, judging from the erection he was getting. 

Once that was done, Mandy said to Jimmy, "It's probably best if you get undressed, Jimmy. Then I'll tie you to the bed." To encourage Jimmy, Mandy smiled at him and said what was the truth, "Actually, Jimmy, I'm getting turned on by this." 

Jimmy saw that as the invitation to have sex afterwards, which would be cool, he told himself. So, he then quickly took off his shirt trousers, and underpants, and got ready to lay on the bed. As he was about to do so, Mandy piled the four pillows in the middle of the bed, which Jimmy understood would raise his bottom up, and make it a better target. 

As soon as all of that was done, Mandy pointed to the bed and said, "Go on, Jimmy, get yourself on top of those pillows, then stretch your arms out in front of you, and I'll tie you down."  

Thinking mostly about the sex that they would have afterwards, Jimmy did as he was told, still a bit worried about how hard the spanking would be, but he had made his decision, agreed to Mandy spanking him, and thought, why not? 

Jimmy still felt tense as he lay on top of the pillows, his bottom now the highest part of his body, and he stretched his arms out to the two corners of the bed. He was still tense as Mandy tied the rope with double knots around each wrist. She then went to the foot of the bed and guided Jimmy's legs, so they were wide apart, but she did manage to secure both his ankles in the same way. 

After that, Mandy went to her cupboard and took out one of her thick leather belts, positioned herself, folded the belt in two, holding the buckle end and the other end, then rested the belt on Jimmy's bare bottom. She saw that Jimmy turned his head away from her, which indicated that he was worried about how hard she would hit him with the belt, but right then she was still so annoyed with him, that she fully intended to make sure that every spank with the belt was a hard one. 

Thinking through her thoughts, Mandy raised her arm and then brought the belt down onto Jimmy's bottom, and heard the loud thwack followed by a gasp from Jimmy. Mandy decided not to ask Jimmy whether it was too hard or not, but instead raised her arm again and brought the belt down for a second lash. She enjoyed the sound of the thwack as it hit his bottom, and his perhaps louder gasp.  

When Jimmy turned and saw Mandy holding the leather belt, he was worried as he had expected Mandy to use her hand, but he decided not to say anything and turned his face away. He thought that not saying anything might have been a mistake after the first lash, as, whilst he had fully expected each time he was hit to hurt, but not as much as it did, nor the second lash. When the belt landed for the third spank, and that seemed even harder than the first two, he got really worried, turned and looked at Mandy, and almost pleaded with, "I may not be brave enough to take many more lashes with that belt, Mandy." 

Mandy wasn't even the slightest sympathetic, and knew she had deliberately led him to believe she would use her hand to spank him, but always intended to use the leather belt. So, she replied sternly, "I do love you, Jimmy, but it really is far too late to ask for any sympathy from me now that you are secured in place. You don't need to be brave, you just have to accept every single lash I'm going to give you, because I'm still so annoyed with you, and I need to teach you not to be late home, nor have drunk too much, ever again." 

Jimmy realised the huge error he had made, and realised that even more after the next few lashes with that leather belt. He knew that he couldn't avoid the belt at all, and that every decision about how many lashes and how hard they would each be, was now going to be made by Mandy. All he could do was take solace and assurance that she still loved him. Mind you, given how his bottom was already stinging, and the leather belt was continuing to land time and again, maybe that love was the reason that she was landing the leather belt so hard, and so often. One thing he knew that Mandy was certainly right about, was that now he was secured to the bed, it was too late to ask for any leniency whatsoever. 

As the leather belt kept on landing and Jimmy was yelping and pulling at the ropes, albeit unsuccessfully, he knew he was taking a far harder thrashing than he would be able to cope with without being secured down. Once again, he saw how right Mandy was, and he supposed she also knew that and was happier with him secured in place. 

One other thing that Jimmy remembered, was, when looking at those websites, quite a regular comment was that those who were secured in place so that they could be hit even harder, tended to end up smiling afterwards. It was always said that those people wanted to be hit harder and found it easier if they were secured in place, but trusted the person carrying out the punishment to take them beyond what they could easily cope with, but they wanted to suffer more than they could easily cope with. He'd always questioned whether that was just made up, or real, so he supposed he was now going to find that out. 

Now that Jimmy was feeling the pain from the thick leather belt, he was definitely taking the view that the descriptions on those websites didn't tell the truth. There were so many women and men being hit time and again with wooden paddles, leather belts, canes, and even whips, and, invariably, those women and men supposedly ended up smiling, albeit with tear-filled faces. Jimmy was now telling himself that he was unlikely to be smiling afterwards. 

For Mandy, punishing Jimmy was so refreshing. She had told him so many times how she didn't like him coming home late, particularly coming home the worse for drink, and whilst every time Jimmy had said it wouldn't happen again, it did. Now, she could see how using this very thick leather belt on Jimmy's bottom whenever he did do it again, might well encourage him not to, but certainly, even if he did keep on doing it, she would release the stress that built up each time this way. 

As the leather belt kept landing still, time and again, on his bottom, which was now stinging in a way that it had never stung before, Jimmy knew that he was pulling at the ropes that were securing his wrists. He did have to admit that, had he not been secured like this, he would definitely have got up. On the other hand, Mandy seemed very happy still landing that leather belt time and again, which she wouldn't be able to do if he did force himself up. Who was in the right, he asked himself. Even as the belt continued to land, he was telling himself that Mandy was the one who was right, and he was the one who kept saying he wouldn't come back late and the worse for drink ever again, but did time and again. Maybe, being secured in place, and letting Mandy punish him whenever he disobeyed her, had its merits. At least, merits for Mandy, and a lot of pain for himself. 

Mandy saw how having Jimmy secured in place enabled her to make the punishment much longer and harder than she would have any chance of doing if he simply lay on the bed whilst the belt landed. It would be very obvious to Jimmy that he understood that as well, but, interestingly enough, he wasn't begging her to stop, just gasping, yelping, and pulling at the ropes, but was taking every single lash. 

Once Mandy saw that Jimmy's bottom had several bruises on each bottom cheek, she supposed that she had punished him enough. So, she stopped using the leather belt, and instead sat on the bed, rubbing Jimmy's bottom with her hand. She had to admit that she was still happy with what she had done, but just didn't know whether Jimmy was. 

Then a thought flashed through Mandy's mind. What if she now told Jimmy that, as he was a good hubby again, they could have sex? Maybe it shouldn't be the normal sex they had, but one that she controlled. She rather liked that idea. 

So, Mandy kept rubbing Jimmy's bottom, as she said, "I do feel rather turned on by having spanked you, Jimmy. So, as part of your punishment, I need you to now lick me to an orgasm. I'm going to release you from these ropes, sit on the bed, then you will kneel between my legs, and give me an orgasm." 

Mandy decided she wasn't going to demand an answer, because Jimmy could always say yes, but then have already decided he wasn't going to do it and change his mind after being released. So, she first of all undid the ropes securing Jimmy's ankles. She did find it a little difficult because, as Jimmy had pulled at each of the ropes, the knots were made even tighter. However, she eventually managed to undo both ropes securing his ankles. She then did the same to Jimmy's wrists, although those knots were even tighter. That told her, that if she ever wanted to do this again, she would have to find a different way to secure him in place. 

As soon as Mandy had managed to undo the knots in the ropes securing Jimmy's wrists, she sat on the side of the bed, and ordered, "Okay, Jimmy, slide off the bed, kneel between my legs, and give me that orgasm." 

Before sitting down Mandy had very quickly pulled the hem of her dress right up above her waist, then, as she sat down, she pushed her knickers down to the floor, scooped them up, and put them on the bed. She then sat there with her legs wide apart.  

Jimmy heard the instruction, and liked the idea of giving Mandy an orgasm. Yes, that leather belt had really hurt, but if he looked at it as simply a punishment for not obeying Mandy, then that punishment was over, so why not show how much he loved Mandy by doing what she now said. Therefore, he knelt down between Mandy's now parted legs, started to kiss her inner thighs, actually enjoying himself, more so when he had worked his way up her inner thighs and was licking and kissing and fingering Mandy's wet pussy lips and stiff clit, and she was making louder and louder erotic gaps until she exploded in a huge orgasm. 

As much as he knew that Mandy had enjoyed that, Jimmy realised that he now had a stiff erection. He supposed that didn't really surprise him, because here he was bringing his wife, who he loved so much, to an orgasm.  

When Mandy recovered and sat up, she saw that Jimmy was still kneeling on the floor. How obedient was that, she told herself with some joy. She then saw his erection. What went through Mandy's mind immediately, was how she could use that erection to benefit them both. She therefore stood up, undid her dress, pushed it down to the floor, and put that on the bed, then undid her bra, slid it down her arms, caught it, and put that on the bed with her dress and knickers. 

Now, fully naked, Mandy then instructed, "Okay, Jimmy, I want you to take me doggy-style, and ram me really hard. Make sure that I come again before you do." 

Jimmy had taken Mandy doggy-style many times before, and they both enjoyed it. Mandy enjoyed the much harder thrusts that Jimmy was able to do when entering her doggy-style, and until he was powering her to an orgasm he held onto her with his hands on her breasts, which she also loved.  

Jimmy knew that he would have to bring Mandy to an orgasm first, but then that's what he always did, realising how he actually enjoyed being submissive to his wife. In fact, the realisation of that was quite refreshing, and although he was an alpha male at the office, saw his true self at home as a submissive, now wanting to obey his more dominant wife. 

Mandy also realised that Jimmy was following her instructions, even after being released. She enjoyed it so much that she wanted to take control of their marriage, and thought of so many ways that she could do that. There could be a set of rules which, if Jimmy broke, he would get another thrashing with the leather belt. She could take control of all of the bank accounts, giving Jimmy an allowance, but then she was better at finance than Jimmy anyway. If she did get a chance to use that leather strap on Jimmy again, and she fully intended to, she worked out it would still be best to have him secured in place. The ropes were not good enough, and she knew that leather cuffs were available online, that would slip onto each of the four legs of the bed, and then have the leather cuffs that would secure his ankles and wrists, which would be easier to put on and take off. That made tremendous sense.  

———————————— 

Over the next three days, Mandy did get a very willing Jimmy to accept that she would have control of everything, pretty much now becoming a female-led marriage. Rules were set which Jimmy had to obey or suffer a long and hard spanking including with the leather belt. The leather restraints were delivered, and placed around each of the four legs of their bed, with the leather cuffs ready to be used to secure Jimmy in place for whenever Mandy needed to use the leather strap on him. She did, on that third day, and both knew she would be doing it again and again. 

They both realised this female-led marriage, and the punishments, increased the love they had for each other, and improved the orgasms both had during their lovemaking. It made the future even better for both of them.
