Andrew and Rachel Parker had been arguing for large portions of the previous three days, which was not a good sign because on this day they were to be hosting a barbeque for six other couples in their back garden.
Rachel was aged sixty and Andrew was six years younger. They had been married for thirty-one years. Andrew's parents did not really approve of him marrying an 'older woman' but their marriage had been mostly good, although they never had children.
Their sex life was still quite active, but arguing over sometimes petty things was on the increase and the current disagreement that had started over virtually nothing was escalating.
Rachel had a wonderful arse and their fucking was often preceded by Andrew spending some time paying homage to his wife's buttocks. Play spanking also was a part of their sex lives but just occasionally. If Rachel had made Andrew particularly angry, a spanking could be far from playful.
Rachel knew that after one of these 'real' spankings they would almost certainly have a great fuck, but she also knew that her arse would be extremely sore at the time.
On the day of the barbeque, Rachel was starting to make Andrew angry and, against her better judgement, she continued to do so. Andrew finally snapped. "Right, that's it; You will get a good hiding tonight after our guests have gone," raged an irate Andrew.
Rachel knew that once Andrew had made that decision, there was no going back and she would be getting a really hard spanking that night. She would also probably get a good fucking, but her buttocks would be glowing at the time.
Rachel then became sullen as she contemplated her sore backside, but she knew it was her fault and also, maybe subconsciously, she was looking forward to it.
The couple were hardly speaking to each other when the guests started to arrive. All six of the other couples were in the same fifty/sixty age bracket and all of them were longtime married. None of them knew much about the sex lives of the other couples but, although nothing had ever happened, there were a couple of wives that rather fancied someone else's husband and a couple of husbands who would not mind shagging one or more of the other wives.
Whilst not actually talking to each other, Rachel and Andrew were civil and cheerful with their guests. Although one of the women, Georgina Raymond, did detect an atmosphere between Rachel and Andrew.
"You okay, Rach?" Georgina asked her friend.
"Yeah, why?" responded Rachel.
"Oh, nothing; Just thought that there might be a problem between you and Andrew," said Georgina.
"No, no, we are fine," answered Rachel, knowing that she would be going over her husband's knee later.
The party/barbeque went on happily with lots of laughter, but still, as Georgina continued to observe, almost no interaction between Rachel and Andrew.
Andrew was getting more and more annoyed with Rachel's attitude towards him, and he took her to one side. "Look, are you going to start behaving yourself or am I going to have to tan your arse in front of these people?" said Andrew.
"I am behaving myself," replied Rachel, shocked at the suggestion that she might get spanked with people watching.
Actually, the idea of receiving a witnessed spanking had been a long-held fantasy of Rachel's, but she had never mentioned it to Andrew, nor did she intend to do so.
"You are behaving yourself with everyone else but behaving like a spoilt brat towards me," said Andrew.
"Is that right?" sneered Rachel, not sure if Andrew would go through with his threat, but knowing that she was pushing her luck.
"Yes, that is right and if you do not start behaving yourself, I will put you over my knee right here and now," warned Andrew.
"Fuck off," said Rachel, loud enough for most of those assembled to hear. All conversations stopped and twelve pairs of eyes turned to Rachel and Andrew.
Andrew fumed for a moment and then spoke calmly. "Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen; Rachel has been behaving very badly these last few days. She already knows that she is getting a good spanking tonight, but her attitude now dictates that she will also get a spanking now," said Andrew.
There were a few gasps, including from Rachel. Her feelings were mixed because it looked like her fantasy was about to happen but to be spanked in front of these people would be humiliating. She thought that she should make a show of protest, even if she did not really mean it.
"No, no Andrew, can't we discuss this later?" said Rachel, knowing that she was blushing.
"Oh, we will discuss it later with you over my knee, but we are also going to discuss it now," said Andrew, taking a grip on Rachel's arm and leading her towards a chair in the centre of the lawn.
The other six couples were stunned. Two of the women had their hands to their mouths, but nobody actually said anything.
Rachel had on a pair of white trousers which very much hugged her large buttocks. Her knickers could be seen because of the tightness of the trousers.
Andrew sat down and dragged Rachel over his lap. This was not going to be a fun spanking, it was to be for real even though she would be getting another one later.
A couple of the female guests looked at each other. One was thinking about how erotic the situation was and wondering if the other was thinking the same. One male guest wondered if he should intervene, but was distracted by the hardening of his penis in his trousers.
Andrew had now commenced the spanking. He was slapping Rachel's arse very hard from cheek to cheek, and she was already bucking and squirming. She was also starting to live out her fantasy, and she was getting damp between her legs.
Twelve pairs of eyes were fixed on the scene and although the thoughts of those watching were not all identical, most were thinking of the eroticism of the situation.
Andrew was spanking Rachel extremely hard, full force, and her face was red and it had to be assumed that her buttocks were too. All those watching were feeling a sexual reaction of some sort, some more than others, although a couple of them were a bit embarrassed that they were getting aroused by watching a mature woman get a good hiding.
The spanking continued and then ended in a crescendo of hard spanks, with Rachel bucking and writhing. Rachel remained over Andrew's lap for a while, sobbing. "Get up; You will get the same on your bare arse tonight," announced Andrew sternly.
