This story, "Marriage Can Be Fun?" is the continuation of the story of Maddy, Jim, Janice, Frank, and now introducing Alice, the French maid. Copyright 2002 by Wanderer. The day after the wedding (See "My Big Deal Social Wedding") we left on our honeymoon trip, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Witherington II. And that confirmed to me why I accepted their daughter's offer of marriage, despite her being candidate number one for anger management classes. Mr. and Mrs. Witherington II offered up one of the Witherington company's fleet of planes or the Witherington yacht. We could have chosen the two hundred foot Witherington luxury yacht with its forty man crew, but the plane was faster as Janice needed to be back for school in six weeks, and the plane could reach inland areas where the ship couldn't go. The plane that took us around the world was pure luxury. I mean there was a fax and some phones for Mr. Witherington when he traveled, but most of the plane was devoted to opulence. Imagine! A Jacuzzi, a swimming pool (with a cover designed to keep water from sloshing out during take-off and landing), two full time chefs (one specializing in French food and one in Chinese food-Janice likes Chinese food) in case we didn't like the local cuisine wherever we landed, a fully equipped gym with a certified personal trainer (Janice wouldn't dream of letting her muscles go soft and squishy), a masseuse, a hair stylist, a manicurist, and so on and so on. It would have made a top-notch Paris hotel blush with envy. And it was all mine! Well, not really all mine. I wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for the lovely and gorgeous and mean spirited and nasty bitchy Janice Witherington, my wonderful bride of a day. I knew what she was like, of course, having first met her when my sister and my college roommate, James Pettigrew Witherington III, announced their engagement. I, my mother and father, and my sister Maddy were all honored guests at the Witherington estate for the engagement announcement party, and I guess Janice took a shine to me. I tried my damndest to avoid Janice but at one Christmas celebration (I usually went to those because the Witheringtons were fond of giving sports cars as Christmas gifts) Janice announced to me that "I have decided you will marry me, Frank." Now those of you who have read earlier parts of this story know that it is very dangerous to use a word connoting negativity in the presence of Janice. When she had decided something you risk serious physical harm if you go against her decision. So I carefully weighed my response (for about five seconds as I didn't like the angry look beginning to show on her face as she awaited my reply). On one side of my decision making was a sweet looking, almost ethereal, gorgeous woman with a mean temper whose strength and physical development easily dwarfed mine, even though I was considered a good athlete in college, and on the other side was my job in her father's company, my mid- six figure salary, the opportunity to share in the good things of life that I would never be able to afford on my own, such as a honeymoon trip around the world in a private luxury plane, and so on and so froth. Maybe I could change her after marriage, I thought. Yeah, right. As the scowl on Janice's face deepened, I said, "Why of course, my love, you honor me by your proposal. I gladly accept. I was hoping we could come to this some day, but I wanted to be sure you were ready. I thought you might want to acquire your MBA degree first." Am I diplomatic, or what? "Then why did you wait so long to say yes?" Janice asked, suspicious of my slow response. "Oh, my love, I was so overcome with your proposal it took me a few seconds to find my voice," I lied. That seemed to mollify Janice, and she put me in a bear hug, lifted me off my feet even though I am a few inches taller than she is, and more than a few pounds heavier, and I knew that was my cue to bend down and cover her face with passionate kisses and little nibbles and bites. She was delighted and turned her bear hug into a cradle hold and carried me up the two flights of stairs to her bedroom suite where she raped the hell out of me all night long. Janice was never embarrassed about our sexual relationship, she having used me to lose her virginity (See "The Engagement Party," Part 1). She admitted to me that her primary motivation for marrying me was my pecker, as socially I was way beneath her. Any of the males in her social group would have been only too happy to marry into the Witherington Fortune 500 company. But none of them knew about her ugly temper and her outrageous muscularity. She never attended a swim party and her couturier took great pains to design her clothes in such a manner that her muscularity was well concealed. Oh, maybe a little broad in the shoulders (he couldn't hide everything), and maybe full length puffy sleeves were a little out of style, especially for summer wear, but so what? For the men in her social group the Witherington money more than made up for any little idiosyncrasies she might have. But with me she didn't have to be furtive about her physical prowess. I mean she had already beaten me up a number of times when I displeased her, and so now I knew what was expected of me, whereas a new beau would require intensive retraining as I'm sure many of them had the mistaken idea that they should be head of the family unit. And besides which I must modestly admit I was quite handsome, and also adept in the bedroom, i.e., I knew what would please Janice. She had no patience to be indoctrinating some new lover on how he was to service her. And so it was that we flew around the world on our honeymoon. The itinerary was plotted for us by the Witherington company travel department, with input from Janice, and wherever we landed there were government officials of the highest order to greet us since the Witherington company had factories in many foreign lands, employing hundreds of local people. And in those countries that had no Witherington production facilities we were treated just as well, or even better, as they were all eager to get some investment in the local economy from the Witheringtons. I was proud to be associated with the company, but of course Janice Witherington WAS the company, and so the politicians fawned over her and largely ignored me, even shouldering me aside in their haste to occupy a space close to Janice. But Janice would say, "Oh, by the way, this is my husband, Franklin Thomas- Witherington (Janice had decided that I was to take her last name as my married name). Immediately everyone's attitude toward me changed, and I was an instant celebrity. Even though it was a blow to my ego to have to take my wife's last name as my own, and to be known as Frank Witherington instead of Frank Thomas, I could see that there were some decided advantages. I could call up and say "I am Frank Thomas-Witherington," and whatever it was that I wanted would be delivered within the hour by special messenger to our hotel suite or our plane if that's where we spent the night because local accommodations were not up to Janice's expectations. Wherever we landed there was a liveried chauffeur with a stretch limousine waiting on the tarmac to take us to the finest hotel in the area. Usually we had an entire floor reserved for us. We had knowledgeable guides, usually the head of the local government tourist bureau or the American ambassador if there was an embassy nearby, superb cuisine, the finest wines. I could never have had this experience without Janice and the Witherington name. And on interacting with the local government officials it didn't hurt the Witherington name that Janice spoke French, German, Turkish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese (many dialects), Japanese, Russian, Hindi, Pashto, even Urdu, although we decided to skip Pakistan this trip because of the recent unpleasantness in the area. And I, of course, speak English. I never said Janice wasn't smart. In fact, she was brilliant. She had a photographic memory. If she read it once that was enough to remember it. Frequently she could even tell you the page that the information had appeared on. And that was what worried her brother, and my best friend, when it came to the question of who would succeed their father as head of the family business. Intellectually she could run rings around her brother, but his advantage was that he was a male, and how many women run a Fortune 500 company? Not many. The only downside of our trip was that I was within easy reach of Janice should my behavior not meet her requirements. I mean I was from the western part of the United States, from a middle class family, and even though they had sent me to one of the finest universities on the East Coast for my MBA still they had to scrimp and save and sacrifice to manage the tuition. With Janice's family the same university had a business building named after the family, called Witherington Hall, which the family had donated. But then it was a charitable contribution from the Witheringtons, it was a tax write- off, and it only cost them fifteen million dollars. I was used to barbecue, hamburgers on a bun, and beer, whereas Janice was used to pate de foie gras, truffles, caviar, and champagne, so I guess I made some social gaffes, not intentionally of course. But such faux pas in front of American ambassadors or high ranking foreign officials were not to be tolerated because they reflected badly on the Witherington name. When we got back to the plane Janice would back me up into the bulkhead and keep me pinned there, or put her hands under my armpits and lift me off the plane floor, my feet dangling, while she lectured me. "Frank, you embarrassed me tonight, I told you that you are never, never to embarrass me or, now that it is yours, the Witherington name!" "I'm sorry, honey," I would say, "I'm used to a knife, fork, and spoon, how was I to know there was a special fish fork?" But there was that famous Janice anger again. She would shake me a little bit, or a lot, depending on how angry she was, usually enough to make my teeth rattle. I was plenty scared because I always had in the back of my mind that one of these days she was going to get fed up with me and throw me off the plane-at 30,000 feet! But I needn't have worried. She would just carry me over to the nearest chair, sit down with me face down across her lap, one of her legs thrown over the both of mine to hold me so that I couldn't escape, pull my pants down and spank me. I told her that spanking should be reserved for children, not adults, but she said "How else am I to impress on you the importance of proper social behavior?" I tried to explain to her that she could withhold sexual favors, like any normal wife would do, but her response was always "What? And deprive myself of orgasms? Are you crazy? No, no, I'd much rather discipline you with a good sound spanking whenever you misbehave." So much for reasonability. We finished our six week around-the-world honeymoon on a high note. Paris, no less! Every night was a festival! And every night I got my ass blistered. I don't know how any culture can develop so many special forks, spoons, knives, and every other damn eating utensil known to man! Most of which I didn't know how to use or even what they were for. An escargot fork? A special caviar knife? I guess it's because eating is such an art in France. I must have gained twenty pounds. If Janice gained anything it must have gone to her muscles because my ass was never as sore from Janice's spankings as it was at the end of our honeymoon trip. So I was very happy to get home in time for Janice to enter the fall semester at the University for her MBA degree. One of the company planes was assigned to take her to the university town every Sunday night so she wouldn't be late for class Monday morning, and pick her up Friday night and bring her back to the landing strip on the Witherington estate. From there it was just a short limousine trip to our home, where I was sure to be awaiting her at the door with a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred. "Did you have a nice week, dear?" I would solicitously inquire. "Yes, Frank," she would say. "Did you behave yourself all week?" I knew what she meant. It was very important to her that I conserve my strength during the week because every Friday and Saturday night she would fuck my eyes out, and usually she got in a couple good ones on Sunday afternoon before flying off on Sunday night. She practiced abstinence during the week at school. Not because she was such a goody two shoes because she could have any guy she wanted on campus, either through her sensual wiles, which were considerable, or by force if that was what it took, but she didn't want talk getting around campus about her massive musculature, or someone taking advantage of her because of the Witherington name, so she saved herself for me-lucky me! I mean I didn't mind the first couple times every night she was home, or even the third and maybe the fourth, but by the fifth time my manhood was plenty droopy. "Please, honey," I would beg, "don't you need to get some rest after a hard week at school?" "Hell, no, Frank, this energizes me!" she would say. "I look forward to it all week! You'd better get it up before you make me mad!" Well, of course, the more she ordered me to "Get it up" the less I could do. That's human nature, I guess. She would get exasperated and leave the bedroom for a while to blow off steam, as she put it, and I think she went to Alice's room, but I was too afraid to ask. All I know is, when she came back to our bedroom she always had a smile on her face. I knew for sure they had sex together before because of the one night I walked in on Janice with Alice sitting on her lap, Janice's hand disappearing up Alice's skirt. I'm not so sure that I was Janice's first, as she claimed I was. I think Alice got there before me. But that was OK with me. Janice wasn't my first either, although I had never done it with a man, not even Jim, Janice's brother, who was my roommate at the university for two years. It was very dangerous to make Janice mad. Do you deserve a spanking? (One of her less violent procedures). Do you deserve to be seriously pummeled? What saved me from serious facial disfigurement was her need to have me appear at public gatherings as her escort. But every night that she was home from school she would remind me who was boss. "Come here, Frank," she would say, as we got ready to retire to bed. It was an order, not a request. "I need to do a little stretching, baby." Then she would put one hand under my armpit, the other on my crotch, and up I would go, over her head. Yes, that always reminded me that I was number two. I was continually amazed by the ease with which she lifted me over her head. Down I would come to touch the top of her head, and back up I would go. Up, down, up, down. I don't know if it was her hand palming my crotch, or the gazing down at her deep cleavage and those sizable breasts expanding as she took a deep breath before making the effort to push me overhead again, or some weird response to being so dominated by my wife, but whatever it was she could feel my erection as my heart raced and pumped more and more blood into my penis. Then she would giggle, "Oh, I think you're ready, hon," let me down into her arms, carry me over to the bed where she sat on the edge with me on her lap, and proceeded to remove my pajama top and bottom, all the time fingering my erection to make sure it stayed up like she wanted. And remember, I'm a couple inches taller and at least ten pounds heavier, maybe twenty. I felt like a little kid sitting on his mommy's lap. Then she would deposit me on the bed, on my back, and get on top of me, hands resting on the bed beside my head, and I could reach up and feel those massive twenty-two inch biceps, and believe me, it was plenty scary when she got pissed off. Occasionally she would let me be on top if I begged hard enough and she would reach up and wrap those arms around my neck and pull me into her very ample chest, smothering me, or I could reach up and feel those massive biceps as she rested her palms behind her head while she tossed me up and down with those sexy, flexible hips of hers while holding me tight inside her with her pussy muscles. There was no escaping until she was ready to let me go. God, I was so glad when Sunday night arrived and I could hear the limousine at our front door waiting for Janice to take her to the plane for school Monday morning. The last thing Janice would say to me every Sunday night as she put one husky arm around my waist and lifted me off my feet, I think just to remind me who was boss, was an admonition. "Be good, dear," she would say. "Of course, dear," I responded. But Janice was so intense about her need for sex when she was home that I think she instilled in me an addiction that was hard to suppress during the week while she was away. I controlled myself the first month or two that Janice was away at school during the weekdays, but then I started casting my eye about for a little Monday to Thursday action. Besides which, I considered myself something of a Lothario. I mean, how many men have the appeal to attract one of the richest women-to-be in the world? I had to have it, so I started looking around the office for who was available. I had to be very circumspect, of course. I knew instinctively that Janice had told Alice, the French maid that had practically grown up with her, to keep an eye on me. I wasn't about to blow a good thing, at least not in plain sight of Alice. Those two women had become such buddies I knew Alice would have no loyalty to me. Alice came to work for the Witheringtons as kind of a nanny- lady-in- waiting-companion for Janice when Alice was just fourteen years old. Her father had been hired from France to be the Witherington Mansion sommelier when Jan was only twelve. They kind of grew up together, played together, talked together, whispered and giggled together, shared youthful confidences together, went shopping together, and when Janice's father brought in a tutor because Janice on a whim decided she wanted to learn Japanese or astrophysics or Urdu Alice was right there to also pick up on it. So it was really no surprise to me when I walked into my home late one evening, or was it really early one morning, because it was about 2:00 a.m., and Alice confronted me. "Where have you been, M'sieur?" she questioned me. Imagine such audacity. Me, me, the lord of the manor, being questioned by a mere servant. "None of your business," I said, the anger apparent in my voice. "How dare you question me?" "It is my duty," Alice responded. "Your duty? Your duty? Who the hell made it your duty?" I raged. "Madame Janice," Alice answered. "I am to keep an eye on you and to discipline you should you misbehave," was her response. Now I was really angry. This little twit, maybe 5' 2" tall, was going to discipline me, me, a guy six feet tall and fifty or sixty pounds heavier? And her employer, to boot? I shouldn't have done it, I'm not that kind of a guy, but I pushed her. I pushed her hard. On the shoulder. She stumbled back a step, mouth open, eyes widening in surprise. And then I raised my fist to her. Maybe it was the pent up emotion of being so dominated, first by my little sister, who threw me into the closet, then by my wife, I don't know, but I was seeing red. I just wanted to strike back, to lash out at all females, and this one just happened to be standing right in front of me. All I could see was another female who was going to tell me what to do, how to lead my life, and I had had it. I aimed for her jaw. I could have hurt her bad. I could have maybe even killed her with that one blow, I don't know. I mean she was a little girl, although sturdily built, about 5' 2", maybe 140 pounds, going to be hit by a six foot athletic male with two hundred pounds behind the punch. I knew I would regret hurting her, but at that point I was so furious I didn't care about the consequences. Alice reached up, grabbed my wrist. Stopped my hand in mid-flight. With her other hand she launched a blow at my jaw. I missed. She connected. A dimness, a darkness, began to envelop my consciousness. I lost control of my nervous system, I began to slump to my knees, that much I was aware of. My last conscious thought was, I'm not reaching the floor, something is holding me up. Something under my midsection. I felt myself rising, being carried. On someone's shoulder? Where to? Who? Alice? To be continued in "Marriage Can Be Fun?" Part 2.
