“Yes. She has been soundly spanked and given tea and crumpets and is now napping.”
“Thank you, David. I am not being nosey, I just worry about her, you know?”
“I do. Can I speak to Clare, please?”
“Yeah, sure, hang on... Cla-re!” She bellowed Clare’s name so loud, he had to hold the phone away from his ear.
“Here she is...”
“David?”
“Yeah, can you tell me how long we will have to wait for the results of the scan?”
“Tell you what, how about I phone next week and chivvy them along. They usually speed things up when a doctor phones and asks for results.”
“That’d be great, thanks, Clare. Would you do me another favour?”
“Sure.”
“Go spank my irritating sister-in-law!”
Clare chuckled.“If she allows me to, then yeah, my pleasure. Bye.”
“Bye, Clare, and thanks!”
He made dinner and was just about to fetch Penny when she appeared looking rumpled and adorable. He held open his arms and she walked into his embrace. Rocking her, his arms wrapped tight around her. He knew there was no other place he’d rather be.

“But...”
“Enough conjecture. Dinnertime; go sit at the table.” He was firm. Now was not the time for this discussion that it seemed could never be happily resolved to Penny’s satisfaction.

They watched an episodeofMidsomer Murdersthen he switched off the TV.
“Bed.”
“What, no, it’s only nine?” she argued.
“Is your butt still sore, little lady?” he asked, one eyebrow quirked.
Hastily she scrambled up and headed for the door.
“You didn’t answer my question?” he called.
“What do you think?” she replied from the hallway.
“I think if you’re this sassy I need to pay more attention to that hind end of yours, missy!”
He listened to her light foot treads as she scampered up the stairs. The poor thing, she actually thought he was playing. He shook his head; he could feel a wicked grin spread across his face. As he thought about his plan for tonight his cock woke up, instantly alert and ready to play.
Reaching the landing, he crossed to their bedroom. “And—action!” he whispered under his breath.
