Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health. This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.
My submission for this week is from my 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books. Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently under production.
When Claire Daniels discovers Germaine St. Justine is a vampire, she sets a plan in motion to convince him to cure her brother of AIDS. Though an innocent in sexual relations, Claire is savvy enough to realize the best way to secure Germaine's support is to enter into an intimate relationship with him. However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door. There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.

However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door. There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.
In this segment, Claire has sought Germaine out at his private night club for the first time, only to discover his club offers much more than drinks for those with and without fangs. The day room at Illusions is equipped to administer punishments as well. While Claire is trying to reconcile with Germaine, one of his vampires enters the club with his mate in tow and demands permission to publicly chastise her. What no one expects, however, is for Germaine not only to agree, but call for a supporting vote from his council. When the group unanimously agrees to the punishment, Claire doesn't think, she reacts by picking up a stool and striking the punishing vampire, who, unaffected by the attack, grabs her by the arms and demands to know who she is. Germaine answers on Claire's behalf.
When Phillip didn't lower his arms,
Germaine added, “If you wanted to pick a woman to fight over, Phillip, you
chose the wrong one.”
“I see,” Phillip murmured softly as
his hold tightened. Claire gazed at him in confusion. She'd expected him to
release her as quickly as Auguste had, not hold her hostage.
“This woman deliberately sabotaged
my council-sanctioned method of dispensing justice,” he announced in a voice
that carried across the room. “I demand the right to see her punished.”
“What?” Claire gasped, trying to
wriggle free but finding it impossible to break her captor's painless yet
unyielding grasp.
Claire has spunk, but throwing items at vampires who are conducting a ritualistic punishment, is not wise under any circumstances, as she is about to discover very quickly.

ReplyDeleteI remember the build up to this scene! YES!!! Thank you. Will she be punished? (she asks grinning, rubbing her hands together in eager anticipation)...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you came back to this! But again you stopped too soon! Gah! Go grab the book Tara...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Natasha!
ReplyDeleteI am eagerly awaiting her well deserved punishment!
Great job!
You sure pick a heck of a place to stop! I really do want MORE.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Trent: This is a winning premise, and I like the direction you've taken with this snippet!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Now you've got me worried. Angry vampires are not to be trifled with.
ReplyDeleteYou do write spunky women...which I like and do as well. Love that!! I'm sad I missed the prior scene others are talking about.
ReplyDeleteLove the men arguing while she wonders what's happening.
ReplyDeleteGood snippet. The book sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteuh oh....she's in trouble now!!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. I had feeling this was going to happen. *Shakes head* Bad news...
ReplyDeleteI love this. Good snippet.
ReplyDeleteI have got to find time to read this book. I love the lead in and the snippet.
ReplyDeleteShe needs to be punished! Nice snippet;)
ReplyDeleteYikes, now it’s going to be her turn I think! Great snippet Kathryn :)
ReplyDeleteHer confusion will soon be alleviated. She deserves it, though. No matter how unpleasant the situation, using the stool as a weapon was a very bad idea. Love your snippets, Kathryn!
ReplyDelete"What?" I wonder if a character ever says that without knowing *exactly* what! :D
ReplyDeleteShe in big trouble now. Love this snippet.
ReplyDeletelove it :) yum- she needs punished :D
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to feel sorry for her when (I seem to recall) she was warned not to interfere! Tsk! What's a vampire to do? Decisions, decisions. LOL, I really enjoyed this book!
