“So why get spanked?” he asked.
“A tension reliever,” Jocelyn chimed in. “You have no idea what it’s like living with the two of you.”
“Does submitting to a dominant man stress you out?” Will asked.
Jocelyn glared at him. “Comments about my marriage are not welcome,” she said with a prickly edge to her voice.
“Jocelyn,” Reggie said, his even tones meant as a reprimand to halt her irritation.
“I only meant that there are times when…one minute you’re flying off the handle, wreaking havoc on our poor rear flesh, and then, when we expect you to respond with some kind of ferocity, you act as sweet as pie.”
“You assume we’re pissed about your having sex behind our backs,” Reg said.
“I didn’t say that,” Jocelyn replied.
“But you implied it, darling.” He reached to her face and stroked her cheek. “Calm down, you’re all in a snit over nothing.” He turned to Will. “I’m ready for a cigar. Want to join me?”
“Sure,” Will replied.
“And Jocelyn,” Reggie said to his wife, as he was rising from his chair. “Excuse Helena from her duties and send her to the library.”
“He’s smoking cigars?” Alex said, as the two women watched Will and Reggie leave the room.
“When he wants to piss me off,” Jocelyn said. “What I’d like to know is how they’re getting their information about our afternoons.”
“I haven’t told a soul.”
“I know. But who would know? Twice now, he’s given me the oddest look, trying to make me believe that he has a sixth sense about it. I don’t believe him.”
“Maybe he’s having us followed.”
Jocelyn shook her head. “I don’t think so. This is just a game to keep us rattled. Neither one is seriously upset about our affair, Reggie wouldn’t go to the trouble of having us tailed. No. There’s something here we’re not seeing. But that’s going to change soon.”

“This is Helena, the young woman I told you about,” Reggie said, as a way of introducing his young maid to Will.
With crossed arms and an indefinite smirk, Will inspected the woman thoroughly. “Is she as deceitful as she looks?” he asked.
“A lot like Alex when I first met her,” Reggie replied.
“She does look innocent enough.”
“She’s yours if you want to take the plunge.”
“Been a long time.”
“Since what? You take Alex’s ass when you want to.”
Helena stood with her head bowed, though her eyes weren’t subdued, they looked up wary of the men who were so keenly focused on her, who spoke of her as if she weren’t even in the room.
“I’ve never taken the liberties with women that you have. Fortunately, I have a wife who loves being righteously abused, so my need gets satisfied.”
“Then you’d rather watch while I punish her?”
“Oh, I didn’t say I didn’t want the job. If you have a buggy whip, I’d be happy to leave a few marks.”
“Take your pick,” Reggie motioned to his cabinet of treasures.
