"What is it with you and compromising in our relationship? Can't you keep your word for once?!", the steel in her voice surprised everyone.



"Do you remember this ring?", she showed him their wedding ring, "You promised me you won't think of another woman as long as you are with me. Now I know how much you meant that!", she pointed at the TV.



"And what about these shoes?" she took off her right shoe and held it up, "you promised me when you gifted them to me that you would not flirt with another woman as long as I wore these". she pointed the shoe at the TV "and look what happens as soon as my back is turned"



THWAACCCCKKKKKKKKK! THHHHWACCCCCCCKKKKKK!



The sound reverberated around the room and shocked everyone. The women stiffened up while C looked with disbelieving eyes at Sneha. She had slapped him square across the face with the sole of the shoe she was holding in her hand. The sting on his left cheek was getting worse with each moment and his eyes began to water. He held his hand up to his cheek and stared numbly at his wife. When his brain eventuall regained control, he first looked behind Sneha to see the reactions of her friends and found four pairs of amused eyes staring back at him. He looked at Sneha who was still holding the shoe in her right hand.



"Are you going to keep your word or not?!", his wife asked him shaking the shoe.



C took a step backward in reflex as he saw the shoe move in her hands. He saw Rani and Shilpa suppress a giggle behind Sneha at his movement.



"Put your arms over your head and stay like that", Sneha ordered dropping the shoe. She was confident she wouldn't need that again.



C felt a deep sense of shame on being slapped with his wife's shoes in front of her friends. More than that her fury had made him realize how he had let her down since forever in thier marriage. He felt a deep desire to make up for it all and wanted to obey Sneha no matter what. He did not want to lose her and have his life go back to the empty bar-hopping days. He silently moved his hands up and placed them over his head.



Sneha felt satisfied at the expression on her husband's face and his unfocussed eyes. She reached forward and quickly unzipped him. She wanted to get through this part fast before he rebelled again. She tugged his pants down and held each leg as she he stepped out of them. She then took the pants and threw them into the closet along with his shirt.



Rani looked at the trembling man in front of her clad only in his white undewear. "Beautiful", she thought, "One more piece of clothing and passing up the office affair would be worth it".



Sneha came back to stand in front of her quivering husband. She looked at Kajol and Shilpa while she walked back and was rewarded with looks of appreciation.



She wordlessly inserted her fingers into the waistband of his underwear now. She was sure he was going to resist but she had already planned how she would deal with it. The look of abject surrender on his face as she had slapped him with her shoe was a pure delight for her and also taught her a valuable lesson. She had been stunned initially as she realized what she had done but the look on his face and his reaction had told her it was the right thing.



"No, pleasseee don't", C hissed dropping his hands and holding on to his underwear desperately and taking a step back.



Sneha calmly bent down and picked up her shoe and stood up straight, brushing her hair back which had fallen over her eyes.



"Put your hands back where they belong", Sneha ordered her husband in firm voice, only slightly lifting the shoe in her hand.



C eyes grew wide but he put his hands back up on his head reluctantly.



THWAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK! she slapped him across his cheek again with her shoe. This was a well-planned deliberate shot.



C's cheek went numb as he felt the heat spread across his face and into his neck. Before he could completely regain his senses, he felt his wife's cool fingers on the inside of his undies again and push them down. The next thing that registered in C's brain was the sensation of cool air at the base of his testicles and between his buttocks. Sneha pushed the undergarment down to his ankles with her foot. When it touched the floor, she placed the foot firmly on it.



"Step out of them", she said softly and calmly indicating the garment at his ankles with the shoe she held in her hand.
