The Man of the House
by M.C.
Nancy's new husband learns to adapt to his new surroundings.


Nancy

Nancy Walker entered the bar and looked around. As she did, all the male eyes
turned towards the beautiful, high powered corporate attorney. More than a few
of them must have thought she'd make a terrific catch. Divorced for several
years now - and with two young daughters - she was clearly on the prowl. The
well built woman seemed to have it all; looks, intelligence, a great career.
What more could a man ask for in a woman ? She strolled up to William Johnson
and they began to chat. She had liked the large advertising executive ever
since she handled a case for his firm and they got to know one another. They
even saw each other at social gatherings, though never actually dated. As they
continued to talk, Nancy discovered that Bill (William) had been very
attracted to her also. The more they talked, the stronger their attraction for
each other grew. They spent that night together in a hotel room making
passionate love and the very next day they were married by a judge.

They spent the day after that moving his things into her large home. As he was
a bachelor, there wasn't all that much to move. After he was settled in, Nancy
invited him up to their bedroom for a little "talk", it was a discussion that
would change his life forever. " Honey, now that you're my husband there are a
few changes I want you to make in your life ", she began. " First of all, I
want you to quit your job. I make more than enough money for the both of us
and the girls need a full - time father ". Bill was flabberghasted. " What !!!
", he screamed. "Quit my job, what the HELL am I supposed to do all day ? "
Nancy sighed, she knew this would probably happen, but was hoping to avoid it.
"You'll be the man of the house ", she answered quietly. She then continued in
a sterner tone, " and this is the last time you're to raise your voice to
me...EVER !! " Bill began to turn red," you want me to quit my job just to
stay here all day just to baby sit for your kids ? What about a baby sitter ?
" Nancy frowned. " I want my daughters to have a father figure, someone that
will care for them out of love, not because it's their job. And it's not just
that, you'll have other "chores" to do around here as well. " There's no way
in HELL that I'm going to quit my job, just to become a domestic servant ", he
screamed. Nancy slowly began to fold up the sleeves of her sweatshirt. "
Honey", she said comely," I was hoping this wouldn't have been necessary , but
it seems you' ve left me with little choice ".

As the five foot seven inch, 150 pound woman approached her six foot two inch,
210 pound husband, Bill had a strange feeling that something serious was about
to happen. When Nancy stood only a few inches away she said softly," in time
you'll see darling, that this was for your own good ". She then reared back
and sent a powerful right cross squarely into his jaw. The surprising force of
her punch sent the larger man staggering backwards. She didn't persue her
attack, however; she allowed Bill time to recover. Furious, he charged at his
new wife, well aware that what happened in the next few minutes would
determine which direction their marriage - indeed, there lives - would take;
who would be in control. Bill had been in more than a few fights in his life
and knew a bit about mixing it up. He threw a hard punch at Nancy but she
easily ducked under it. She then sent her solid fists into his unprotected
stomach and followed it up with another crack to his jaw. " Honey, you do need
to learn to defend yourself ", she said comely after landing six hard punches
to his face and mid - section. " I may not always be around to protect you ".
He swung wildly at her but Nancy moved with a speed and grace that left the
larger man baffeled. Try as he might, he couldn't land a single punch; and she
seemed to be hitting him at will.

After knocking him down with a hard left hook, Nancy comely stepped over him
and walked to her dresser. She took out her hairbrush and began to brush her
beautiful long brown hair. She kept an eye on Bill in the mirror as he slowly
got to his feet. When he stood up again, she put down her hairbrush walked
over to him and continued to beat him up. " I suppose, ' WHACK', that this, '
POW ', was going to happen sooner or later,' PUNCH ', and it's just as well
that we get this over now,' CRUNCH '. Bill found himself on the carpet again,
staring up at his beautiful wife in disbelief. He was bigger, stronger (or so
he thought) and a man, how could this be happening ? Well, if she's a better
boxer than he is there's only one thing to do, a change in strategy. Arising
to his feet Bill, remembering his college football days, charged her with his
arms wide apart. If he could get her off her feet, he could wrestle her into
submission. Nancy welcomed this as she was afraid that her constant pounding
of him might do some serious damage; he had such a handsome face and she was
trying not to mess it up anymore than she had to. She met him in the middle of
the room and the newlyweds engaged in a battle of strength; his bearhug
against hers. It was no contest - Bill didn't stand a chance. For as strong as
Bill appeared to be, Nancy was stronger. She even teased her new husband as he
tried with all of his might to crush her. " Oh come on honey, surely a big,
strong man like you can squeeze harder than this. I thought I was marrying a
series hugger, tee, hee, hee. " As Bill's strength began to wane, Nancy
applied more pressure. Bill 's face began to turn red. " What's the matter
sweetie - pie, is your little wife too strong for you? " Bill struggled with
all of his remaining strength but to no avail, Nancy just stood there
squeezing him harder and harder. Slowly Bill's arms slumped down at his
sides...he was beaten. Just as he was about to lose conciousness, Nancy opened
her arms and let her defeated husband slide to the floor.

Nancy stood over her battered husband for a few minutes while he recovered.
When she decided he had, She grabbed him firmly by his hair and dragged him
over to the bed. She sat down on it and yanked Bill across her knee. " Please
don't do this to me ", he begged her, his voice trembling when he realized
what she had in store for him. " I'm very sorry honey, but I 'm afraid that
this is necessary so you will always remember whose in charge around here ".
She pulled down his pants and, with her bare hand, began to spank him hard.
Bill pleaded with his new wife to stop spanking him but she continued saying,
" you 'll see, honeybunch, this is for your own good . Although it doesn't
seem like it now, someday you'll be very grateful for this spanking ". It
wasn't long before she had the 210 pound ex-macho man crying like a baby. "
There, there now ", Nancy cooed softly. " Are we going to behave ourselves
from now on, so mommy won't have to spank you anymore ? " With tears running
down his face Bill nodded. " That's a good boy ", Nancy said as she lovingly
hugged her new husband. They spent the rest of that day 'sorting out ' Bill's
affairs. He retired from his job, put all of his savings into Nancy's account,
and even signed over his car to her. That night, with all of their personal
affairs settled, Nancy and Bill made passionate love.

Susan

The next day when Bill woke up, Nancy had already left for work. She left him
a note on the dresser explaining what he was supposed to do. As he read the
list - vacuum the house, clean the dishes, take out the garbage - he became
angry; his masculine pride was beginning to reassert itself. Bill decided that
he wasn't going to do anything. Around 1 p.m. the front door opened and Susan
- Nancy's fifteen year old daughter - came home from school. She had her
mother's good looks and , although only about five feet four inches tall and
weighing perhaps 115 pounds, appeared to have the body of an athlete. She
smiled at her new step - father and said, " mom asked me to check up on you to
see if you've been doing your chores. It doesn't look like you've been too
busy to me, I suggest you get started ". Bill's anger quickly began to
surface. It was one thing to obey Nancy, especially after the events of the
preceeding day, but to be ordered around by her 15 year old daughter; well,
this was just too much. " I'm not going to do anything ! ", he growled
defiantly. " But it's your job", Susan answered matter of factly, "afterall,
you're the man of the house ". "That's correct, I AM the man of the house and
there's no way in hell I'm going to take orders from a 15 year old girl ". The
two of them stared at each other for a few moments before Susan began to
slowly roll up the sleeves of her sweatshirt. " Mom said this might be
necessary ", she sighed.

Susan approached Bill - who was 10 inches taller and nearly 100 pounds heavier
than herself - with a look of confidence that can only be described as cocky.
There was a smile on her pretty face and not a trace of fear. " This is your
last warning step - dad. Either do your chores...or else !!! " Bill arrogently
stared down at his new step - daughter, " or else what ? " "Or else this ".
Susan whorled around and caught Bill on the side of the face with a roundhouse
kick. She quickly followed it up with several lightning fast karate thrusts
and another kick to the head which sent the 210 pound man reeling backwards.
Stunned, Bill charged her growling as he came. Susan comely met his attack
with a perfectly executed judo throw, sending her step - father to the floor
with a " CRASH ". Susan giggled, " mom said you might need some ' persuasion'
to get your chores done; fortunately she was right ". Bill got up and,
throwing caution to the wind, attacked her with everything he had. But Susan,
showing the confidence that seven years of karate training can give you,
easily blocked his blows. She countered with punches and kicks that soon had
the much larger man on the defensive. To make matters worse for Bill, Susan
laughed and giggled the whole time, she was really enjoying battering her new
step - father around the house. Finally, the 15 year old girl had Bill backed
into a corner where he couldn't escape. " Looks like my rough, tough step -
dad isn't as rough and tough as he thought he was, tee,hee,hee ". She
continued to pound the now helpless man with her fists until he cried out,
"O.K., O.K. you win. I'll do my chores now . Please stop hitting me ".

Susan smiled triumphantly as she watched Bill cowering in the corner. " Sure
you will ", she said; " but first you must be punished for your disobediance
". She grabbed him firmly be the hair and marched him over to a nearby chair.
" Please no, don't, not again ", Bill pleaded. Susan sat down on the chair and
yanked Bill over her knee. When she pulled down his pants, she began to howl
with laughter. " What's so funny ? ", Bill asked. He was already sobbing at
the humiliation of being beaten up by a 15 year old girl. " It looks like mom
beat me to it ", she laughed. " Tell you what step - dad, if you 'll be a good
boy now and do your chores, I won't spank you...this time ". Beaten and
humiliated, Bill agreed. Susan, took the list of chores that Nancy had written
and began to follow Bill around the house, making sure that he did everything
properly. When Bill began to wash the dishes, Susan made him put on a pink
apron. " That looks so pretty on you. You'll wear it from now on when you wash
dishes ", she giggled and added, " now, you really are the ' man ' of the
house ". Bill seemed to have little choice but to accept his fate.

Penny

Around three in the afternoon Nancy came home. She picked up her youngest
daughter Penny from school on the way. As they entered their clean home, Nancy
smiled at Susan. " Well, you two seem to have hit it off rather well I see ".
Susan laughed, " yes mother, we had a great time ". Nancy looked at Bill and
understood. " Bill, I promised Susan I'd take her shopping at the mall when I
came home from work . We'll be gone for a couple of hours. I think this will
give you a good opportunity to get to know my youngest daughter, Penny ". Bill
looked down at the pig - tailed 12 year old girl who flashed him a pretty
smile. Like Susan, she had her mother's face, although she couldn't have stood
more than four feet ten and weighed perhaps 90 pounds. As Nancy and Susan were
making their way out the door, Nancy called out, " you two play nicely now ".
They got into the car and drove off. Bill, still recovering from the shock of
being " girlhandled " by his 15 year old step - daughter, was in no mood to '
play ' with Penny. He sat down on the couch and turned on the television. To
his surprise, Penny turned the T.V. off. " What are you doing ? " he asked her
angerly. " Mommy said you'd play with me. I want to play horsie ". Bill was
beside himself with rage now. " Go outside and play with your friends ", he
snarled at her. He grabbed the remote control from her hands and turned on the
T.V. again. As he sat down to watch, he saw something that made him feel very
uncomfortable. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Penny... slowly rolling up
the sleeves of her sweatshirt.

Two hours later, Nancy and Susan returned from their shopping trip. They
entered the house and stopped in their tracks. For a few seconds they just
stared at the scene before them before breaking out into hysterical laughter.
Bill, all six foot two and 210 pounds of him, was on the carpet in the living
room. He was on his hands and knees with his pants pulled down below his
ankles. Sitting on top of him, with her legs locked firmly around his waist,
was little Penny. She giggled when she saw them. " We're playing horsie ".
Penny reached back and slapped Bill's exposed buttoks hard with her bare hand
" SPANK ". " Giddyap horsie ", she said. Bill's eyes were watery, it was
obvious that he'd been crying. Slowly, the broken, humiliated man began to
crawl around the room with Penny giggling on top of him. Nancy smiled at
Susan. " Looks like your new step - father is going to fit in fine here ".
They went upstairs to put away the things they bought. Evey so often they
heard ," SPANK...giddyyap horsie ".

When they went downstairs Bill was lying on his back, crying. Penny was
sitting on his chest. " Mommy, he doesn't want to play horsie anymore ". Nancy
smiled at Penny. " I think we should give your step - father a break
now...he's had an ' interesting ' day. Why don't you go outside and play with
your friends ". " O.K. mommy, but then can I play with Billy later ? " Nancy
kissed Penny on the forehead and simply said, " we'll see ". As Penny ran
outside to play, Nancy called after her, "and try not to get into any more
fights with the boys today, honey. I'm getting tired of explaining to their
parents about those black eyes and bloody noses ". " I 'll try mommy, but
they're so much fun to beat up ". Nancy watched as little Penny ran down the
street. " Girls will be girls ", she sighed to herself.

By now Bill was slowly getting to his feet. Nancy smiled sympathically at her
husband; he's had a difficult day. In the short space of 24 hours, his whole
world has been turned upside down. Everything he believed about himself, about
his gender, had been shattered. She knew that he was in a state of shock, but
that with patience - and love - she and her daughters would help him accept
this new reality in which he found himself. Nancy bent over and lifted Bill up
over her shoulder. " Come honey ", she said softly; " lets go up to the
bedroom where we can remind ourselves of why we fell in love in the first
place ". As she effortlessly carried her husband up the stairs, he asked her
in a meek voice, " d-do you still love me ? " Nancy laughed, " why of course I
do, sweety pie. After all...you're the MAN of the house ".
