My Annie--Over the Boss' Knee: A...

J.C. Cummings

Dave Wilson could quite possibly be the world’s most frustrated husband. Ever since his wife Annie was promoted to Chief Operations Officer at SM Global, with a salary of more than a half-million dollars a year, she's become even bossier and more demanding at home than usual. Worse, the busier she gets, the less time and interest she has in sex.

He really should say something. But how can any man presume to make demands on a woman who’s now earning five times his salary?

But all that changes when he and Annie are called in to a meeting with the company VP Blair Stevenson. This cold, hard-driving young executive has some disturbing news for Annie. Ever since she started her new position, she's been overstepping her job description by trying to fix, remake, and undo everything she finds fault with

Well, Blair is having none of that! He informs Annie that if she wants to keep her job, she must be punished. And the method of punishment he's chosen is an over-the-knee spanking!

Annie is mortified--not to mention humiliated out of her mind.

And that's not the worst part. Following her spanking, Annie is informed that she is also in need of "training" in the art of following orders. And, given Blair's penchant for all things sleazy, one can only assume that these will bring Annie to a whole new level of humiliation!

Still, no matter how harrowing of an experience Annie is having, Dave is head-over-heels turned on by the spectacle playing out before him. On the one hand, he loves seeing Annie finally following orders from a man. But on the other hand, he simply can’t get over the fact that Annie is doing anything and everything Blair tells her to do!

Well, Dave is having none of that! He has no choice but to even the score. But he’d better be careful because, with what he has in mind, Annie just might find the whole thing even more mind-blowing than what Blair has just put her through!
