Free Traditional Terms by Alta Hensley Page B

he felt like it. Vance had to lead by example and do his best at all times to never disappoint.
    “So, to me, my dear, I think we as the women get off easy with just getting spanked. The men take on the worry. They take on the concern. They take on the awesome responsibility of being the Head of the Household.”
    Coley took another sip of her gin and took in the information. She had always understood Domestic Discipline. She considered herself pretty knowledgeable of the idea. But not until this very moment, did she truly grasp the concept. Never had she fully seen it through the eyes of such a mature and enlightened woman.
    “Thank you. Thank you so much for helping me see what I thought I already saw,” Coley said barely above a whisper.
    “You are quite welcome, my dear. It isn’t always going to be easy. It isn’t always going to feel right. But trust me when I say, that if you truly give yourself to Vance. If you truly let him love you and lead you, you will never find a greater happiness.”

Chapter Twelve
     
    “It looks like you got yourself a good one with that girl,” Vance’s dad commented casually as they sat watching the game. Vance valued spending moments like this with his father. Always being close, Vance respected his dad’s opinion of Coley.
    “I agree. She’s one of a kind.” Vance took a swig of his beer. “I’m not playing around with this one. I want to marry her. I’ve never wanted anything more.”
    Vance’s father gave an approving nod and went back to watching the game in silence for a few moments before speaking again. “So, son, I have to ask you, do you plan on living the traditional life with her?”
    Vance nodded. “I do. I have.” He took another swig of his beer. “But, Dad, this time around I have a harder time at it. I mean, I’ve spanked many a girlfriend, but with Coley it’s different.”
    “That’s because you love her.”
    “Yes, I do.”
    “Which is why it’s really important you stay strong and not bend on your belief. Trust me when I tell you that a sure way to lose her respect, is letting your love for her make you weak. A woman doesn’t want a man she can push around. She doesn’t want to be with a man who isn’t strong enough to be and stay in control.”
    “I know, Dad. But I swear this woman will be the death of me,” Vance joked.
    “How does she feel about the lifestyle?”
    Vance shrugged. “She understands it. She says she is willing to live it. But she’s also trying to push and test the boundaries. I swear I could spank her ass every day for all the little things she does.”
    Vance’s father laughed. “She is testing you. Everyone I know who starts this lifestyle has a steep hill to climb. My advice to you is stand by your word. If you say you’re going to punish her, than you better do it no matter what. Don’t give idle threats. This is the most crucial time for you to truly develop the respect needed to make this lifestyle work.”
    “What if you can’t? I mean, if you are in a situation or location where you can’t make it happen.”
    “There’s other ways to discipline besides spanking, as I’m sure you know.”
    Vance nodded.
    Vance’s father continued on, “It’s all about keeping the dynamic intact no matter what, where or why.” He took a big gulp of his beer.
    Vance put down his bottle on the coffee table. His dad was right about not letting Coley off the hook just because they were in the close confines of his parent’s house. He knew that she purposely acted out because she knew he wouldn’t spank her. He smiled to himself at the fact that she really thought she had one up on him. She truly thought she would walk away in the clear. Vance snickered to himself. It was time he taught the love of his life a little lesson on whom she was messing with.
    Vance stood up and grabbed his keys. “I’ll be back in a sec. I have some items I need to buy.”
