    My name is Jack Pilton and I moved into one of those lovely old terraced houses that Cornwall is so famous for, in a village called Little Trumpington. Soon after I arrived in the village I was asked if the local women’s group could use my lounge for their weekly card game and I was welcome to join in if I could play whist. 
I was very soon swept away with the game but more importantly the forfeits that the losers agreed to. The winners would spank the losers but as I was the only man in the group I eventually did all the spanking.  
Since then spanking has become the main part of the women’s group. In this audiobook, I will tell you about my honeymoon with Mary in Spain and the lovely little maid we both spanked while we were there. When we came back I had to spank all the members of the Women’s Group
