know Bettie, spanking is sexy, but it isn’t sex. It can be as innocuous as you choose to make it.”
“I still want it to be from someone I find very attractive,” she said with conviction. “Especially the first time.”
“Well, let’s hope for the best. But next time, get a photo. Now, how are you getting to P-town?”
“I thought I’d catch a bus.”
“Do you have a driver’s license?”
“Yes.”
“Then you may borrow my car,” he told her. Bettie flushed at this mark of favor. Showing up for her date in the bottle green, vintage Jag thrilled her.
Obeying Hugo’s suggestion to wear jeans, Bettie departed for Provincetown at seven p.m., more content in the nurturing she was receiving from Hugo than excited by her upcoming date. “If I do let John spank me,” thought Bettie, “I’ll close my eyes and pretend he’s Hugo.”
But Bettie returned at nine p.m., unsettled and unspanked. Hugo had just returned from a dinner engagement and was feeding his tomcat baked salmon when Bettie walked in.
“Well, that was fast,” he commented.
“I know,” she sat down at the wooden kitchen table with a sigh and put her chin on her hand.
“Tell all,” Hugo said, filling his wine glass and leaning against the mantle piece to listen.
“You were right,” she reported, “He wasn’t my type. Worldview a heady mixture of Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern and Al Bundy. He liked me a lot.”
Hugo laughed. “Did you break his heart?”
Bettie hung her head and mumbled, “Yes.”
“How did he take it?”
“Oh, he was really nice about it.”
“I guess you never walked down to the coast, huh?”
“No. His amphetamine-charged energy scared the hell out of me,” she confided.
“You can have a glass of wine if you like,” said Hugo. He poured her one and she took a sip.
“Thank you,” she said, smiling at him.
“So, who’s next on your date list?”
“I have two dates planned for the weekend in Boston and I have a friend I can stay with there.”
“Tell me about them.”
“One’s a young shark in training at the Harvard business school.”
“Now that sounds promising,” said Hugo, who’d taken his undergrad degree in art history in Cambridge twenty-five years before.
