on her side and watched her husband replace the belt around his waist and breathed a sigh of relief.
     
    He wiped the tears from one side of her face and kissed her cheek. “Why don’t you lay up here and rest for awhile, and then we’ll talk, okay?”
     
    “ I need to go to the bathroom,” she nearly whispered.
     
    “ Go ahead. Then I want you to get some rest.”
     
    She moved gingerly off of the bed and walked slowly into the bathroom, her bottom on fire. After using the toilet, she peered into the mirror at her backside. The belt marks crisscrossing her rear made her sniff and hiccough in self pity. She’d never forget this lesson as long as she lived.
     
    When she returned to the bed, she slept almost immediately. She was awakened by her husband a couple of hours later by a gentle hand on her shoulder. He sat next to her on the bed.
     
    “ How do you feel?” he asked in a quiet voice.
     
    “ Better,” she admitted. She touched her bottom and winced. “I’m a little bit sore.”
     
    “ Do you feel like going out for dinner tonight? I thought we’d drive over to Gatlinburg. Maybe go to the Dixie Stampede ?”
     
    She loved the Dixie Stampede . “Yes! I’d love it,” she told him.
     
    “ Okay, get ready and we’ll get going.”

 
    “ Clay, are you still mad at me?” she had to know.
     
    “ No, Sweetheart. You know this settles it for me. And I don’t think you’ll do anything like that again, will you?”
     
    “ No, Sir,” she said, suddenly shy.
     
    He winked at her. “Get ready and let’s go.”
     
     
     
    The Love of a Husband
     
     
    CHAPTER 1
     
    “ You’re right, Dad. It’s a great opportunity for her. Just... let me talk to Cam and pray about it and I’ll get back with you tomorrow. Yes I know. I will. Thanks, Dad. Bye.”
     
    Caleb hung up the phone with a sigh. Cameron didn’t bother to hide the curiosity he felt at the strange call. “Well? What did he say?”
     
    Caleb closed his eyes and rubbed his temples. “He wants my sister to stay with us for three months while she takes a temporary job with an adoption agency here in Lexington. It’s something she’s very interested in and feels called to do. Dad won’t let her come unless I agree to take responsibility for her.”
     
    Cameron frowned. “How old is your sister? I thought she was college age now.”
     
    “ She’s 21,” Caleb said, “but in my family a woman is never old enough to live out from under the authority of her father or husband... or another male head of household. It’s just a belief my family has.”
     
    Cameron nodded but his mind was racing. It sounded like a philosophy straight out of the nineteenth century. He knew Caleb’s family held some really backward beliefs but most 21 year olds would never stand for that kind of parental control.
     
    “ Well, would it be so bad for her to stay here for three months? It’s not long, and it’s not like it would cramp our style since we don’t have one anymore.” Cameron smiled and Caleb grinned back.
     
    Last June, after years of nagging on Caleb’s part, Cameron had finally gone with his roommate to church and soon thereafter gave his life to the Lord. His life had changed dramatically, but he wouldn’t take anything for the peace and joy he now possessed.
     
    Cameron and Caleb were college roommates their whole four years at the University of Kentucky where they both majored in engineering and became the best of friends. After college, they both went to work for Cameron’s father, who owned an engineering firm, and rented an apartment together. At first the arrangement was wholly for Caleb’s benefit to save money, but since Cameron became a Christian it benefited him for accountability purposes as well. Giving up the party scene, especially the women that went with it, was the hardest part of the Christian walk for Cameron. Thank goodness for friends like Caleb.
