Purchased for Punishment

Valerie and Rick are newlyweds, aboard a cruise ship, the trip paid for as an anonymous wedding gift. When a hostess comes to their cabin to invite them to the captain's quarters, they go along, not sure what to expect. What they find is a man from Valerie's past, rich and powerful, who makes them a tantalizing offer: a large sum of money to let him punish Valerie for the sins of her past. Nothing beyond some BDSM: caning, humiliation, and sex, all while Rick watches on.

Will the newlywed couple take the deal and seal their financial future? If they do, can they ever look at each other the same way again?

This is a 5,500-word short story involving bondage, caning, shoe licking, oral sex, and humiliation.
