Different From Now On
By
"Damn!" she said as her attention was dragged from the TV by the ringing phone. She picked it up, her eyes still on the screen.
"Yes?" she said irritably.
"Nancy?"
It was her husband.
"I'm watching Columbo, darling. I'll call you when it's over, OK?"
"No! You'll listen to me now."
She noted the anger in his voice, but she was only half listening; the detective was about to reveal the name of the murderer.
"Something the matter?" she asked.
"The bank called me saying they hadn't received last month's payment on the mortgage. You were supposed to pay it last week."
"Damn! I'm sorry."
His voice grew colder. "Remember what I told you about your continued carelessness?"
Her mind went on full alert as she remembered his threat."
"Mmm."
"Good," he said icily. "Then you know what to expect. I'll be home in an hour."
She put down the phone ruminatively.
"Hell, he was joking when he warned me last night, surely? He can't really spank me," she thought. "I'm not a child."
She suddenly noticed the credits rolling. "Shit," she said aloud. "I still don't know who did it."
Time dragged.
She heard his car in the driveway. The front door opened and he strode in. He wasted no time. His lecture was short and to the point. "It was bloody careless of you not to make the payment. I was embarrassed when got the call, and I had to ask my boss for time off to get to the bank, and I had to tell him why. And we had to pay the late fee. Dammit, this is not the first time you've done something like this."
There was a long silence before he spoke.
"You're going to get spanked young lady, and hard too."
Suddenly she was face-down across his lap with the carpet a few inches from her nose. She put her hands down to balance herself, her legs sticking out on the other side. She felt her skirt being lifted and then cool air on her bottom as he pulled her knickers down. She blushed. Even though he'd had seen her naked almost every evening since they'd been married two years ago it was still embarrassing and humiliating getting her knickers taken down for a spanking.
She felt a sharp pain on her bottom. It felt as though a thousand bees had stung her. She gasped. Tears came to her eyes.
"God, that hurt! Stop it!"
But he did not, and it was many wicked smacks later she was allowed to stand up. Relief flooded over her as it used to at the end of one of her father's spankings, but she knew, from experience, that her bottom would be tender for a day or two. However, it was over. Surely she could now look forward to a bedtime loving?
Wryly she rubbed her sore bottom and smiled. "It seems," she said to herself, "that from now on things are going to be very different."
The End

Whew – nice fantasy! «She felt her skirt being lifted and then cool air on her bottom as he pulled her knickers down. She blushed.

Isn't this the truth! It is for me during a number of scenes, and I know I've read posts on the NG from people who have said much the same thing. Thank you for this story!

Although there's nothing new in the premise (a wife getting spanked for neglecting to pay bills), the author did a good job of describing both the husband's demeanor and the wife's anticipation (dread?) of her upcoming punishment. The description of the spanking itself, although brief, was well-done too.

A classical tale of misdemeanour and punishment, and nicely, clearly told. It's maybe too classical, though. There isn't quite enough here to give the story a new twist or an individuality. A little greater depth in the characterisation would have given the story a new angle. We leave the story knowing very little about the two of them.
On a note of pedantry: Columbo never needs to reveal the name of the murderer – unlike Poirot, say. A Columbo story works by letting the audience know immediately who the killer is. The point of the story is then to watch Columbo spar with them, and to see how he proves that they're the killer.
