The year is 1963, and when Paul asks Sue to marry him, she hesitates, then confesses her secret fascination for the cane. Paul is shocked when she asks him to cane her, but becomes good at it, enjoying the experience as much as she does. Discipline becomes part of their married life, and Sue tries to understand her love-hate relationship with the cane, disliking the pain but enjoying the after effects in the bedroom. Both she and Paul have their own careers, but when Paul has to work long hours, Sue does something she later regrets. Actions have consequences, and Sue finds that when administered as punishment, the experience of being caned is not remotely pleasurable. But Sue is determined to make amends for the hurt she has caused her husband, so they can make a fresh start in their life together.
