#6BestHop - 11/29/15 - Deadly Enchantment - A possible spy among us #Victorian #Shifters

An unhappy shape shifter can be a dangerous companion....

For Sunday's Six of the Best authors share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress). Though it appears I'm the only one sharing this week (everyone else is too full of turkey, I guess), I don't mind. I love sharing excerpts and will continue to do so until I decide my time would be better spent elsewhere.

That said, my excerpt for this week is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment.  A shapeshifting wizard romance set in Victorian England published by New Concepts Publishing, 

In this snippet, which occurs in the middle of the second chapter, Dominic Westcroft has returned from London to discover his sister has invited several young women to his home, so he can select a new bride.  What neither he nor his sister suspects, however, is that one of the women is actually his deceased bride's sister.  Tormented by guilt over his wife's tragic and brutal death, Dominic has no intention of ever marrying again.  However, when his show of temper accidentally reveals one of their guests possesses magical abilities she's trying to keep hidden, he invites the ladies join him for dinner, so he can rout her out.

Though Serena is routed out during dinner, she manages to keep her true identity a secret. After her close call with their host, however, she returns upstairs to speak with her cousin, while Dominic retreats to his study to send for his sister. As he waits, he recalls his former mentor's prophecy stating both Dominic and Terrence would need to mate with a woman pure of spirit and body prior to their thirtieth birthday.  Failure to do so would mean slipping into a steady decline that would result in them not only losing their powers, but their minds as well. Since marriage wasn't a requirement, Terrence fulfilled his end of the prophecy many years, while Dominic waited until his wedding night when his bride was brutally slaughtered before they could consummate their marriage. All the same, when you considered his tenants paid only 75 GBP a year in rent, the fact that his sister was offering each of the women 100 GBP of his money, rankled. He wasn't that difficult to be around.

            “Serena didn’t see the point in either herself or her cousin, Allison, being validated since they have yet to decide if they wish to accept you,” Regina informed him rather pertly.

             Dominic’s brow rose and he grinned.  “Somehow that seems fitting.  Make arrangements to test the cousin tomorrow.  I’ll see to Serena Blanford myself.”

            This time Regina was the one to raise an eyebrow.  “Have you made your choice already?”

            “No, and I shan’t be, despite your grand machination.  The prospect of taking another bride is not why I'm hesitating to send them all packing tomorrow.  I get the feeling that Miss Blanford is hiding something.  Her powers are strong, yet she claims not to have any.  I wouldn’t put it past our brother to plant an informant in my home.”

            “What?” Regina asked, her pallor revealing her dismay more eloquently than her words.  “You can’t seriously believe that Serena Blanford is here as some sort of agent for Terrence?”

            “I only say that it’s a possibility, not a certainty.  I suspect I shall be able to get to the truth one way or another very quickly.”  He settled back in his chair.  “Now tell me all you know about these Blanford women.”

Though Dominic Westcroft suspects Serena has secrets she's not willing to share, he is determined to uncover the truth behind his young guest's deception, even if it means keeping the other women around as a ruse.

#SatSpanks - 11/28/15 - Arrested by Love - Pissed and non-penitent #Spanking #Cop

He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

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 necessary.

My submission for this week is from my first spanking novel, Arrested by Love, published by Blushing Books.

  In this scene, near the beginning of the book, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone.  Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled.  It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees.  Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him.  

Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice. She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving.  Though Tiffany agrees to Kyle's punishment, she's scared.  He's never been so strict with her before and she fears this spanking will be unbearable.  After he takes a moment to reassure her of his love, he orders her to lower her panties and raise her skirt.

After he administers her spanking, Kyle comforts and reassures Tiffany. Her tears reduced to sniffles, Tiffany doesn't want to move, but Kyle insists she get dressed and return home so her parents won't worry about her. The first time she has trouble even sitting, so, he reaches over to "help" her.

            Though Tiffany managed to sit this time, she didn't hesitate to scowl back at him.  " I really do think I hate you right now.  You beat me to a pulp."

            "Trust me, your lovely backside is nowhere near pulp.  Now, let's put these on.  Okay?"

            She narrowed her eyes to glare at him, but allowed him to put her legs in their proper holes and pull her panties up to her knees.  Then she just looked at him.

            "Just a little more, sweetie.  Raise your hips up.  That's it."  Despite her loud gasp and wince, he managed to slip her panties up over her hips.  "Good girl."  She gave him an even angrier scowl for that one.

            "I must say, you're not acting very penitent, Tiffany Anne.  I would think you'd be more apologetic to me now."

            "Dream on," she muttered under her breath, but he heard her.

 

Kyle doesn't like the thought of hurting Tiffany, though he knows he has to if he's to make any progress in curbing her impulsive behavior.  But he also realizes Tiffany has a close relationship with her parents that he doesn't want to jeopardize.

Frisky Friday - 11/26/15 - A Dom's Dilemma - Are you wearing panties? #BDSM #Spanking

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to Frisky Friday.  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 first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

This excerpt occurs after Master James and Kelly have spent an intense weekend together, and he has seen her home.  Kelly doesn't want to leave him, but knows she has no claim on the Dom who's taken her under his wing.  As Jim tallies up the pluses and minuses in their relationship, he realizes he's the one primarily at fault for the problem they're having. Taking himself to task for being a lousy Dom, he tries to bring his life back to order only to realize she's touched his heart in a way he never expected. Even so, he's not sure their relationship is going to work when she calls him at home. Deciding it was best to be honest, he admits that he likes her, perhaps too much to be her Dom. When Kelly reacts badly, Jim realizes admitting his uncertainty was not a wise course to take with her. So, he takes control again, if only to improve her mindset, even as he realizes they still need to address their issues in person

            "Better.  Are you wearin' pajamas or a nightie?"

            She hesitated, then said, "A nightie, Sir."

            "Describe it to me."

            "Look, Jim--"

            "I gave you an order, little girl, and I expect you to obey.  Now!" he snapped, knowing it would bring her submissiveness to the fore.

            "Yes, Sir.  Um, it's short, mid thigh I guess.  White with pink and blue flowers, a little lace around the neckline and sleeves, and one small pink satin bow."

            "Sounds pretty.  Are you wearin' panties with it?"

            "I don't understand.  Why…?"

            "Answer my question," he ordered more sharply.

            "No, Sir.  No panties."

            "Good girl.

Jim realizes after their time together, Kelly is likely to go through sub drop. He doesn't want to do anything that might exacerbate the situation, and yet a part of him suspects they are not well-suited for each other.

#MFRWHooks - 11/25/15 - Acting Lessons - A Brand New Start #KissMeKate #Spanking

Splendorous things can happen when the mind and body are in tune.

This material is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome back to Book Hooks, a regular Wednesday feature! In this blog loop, we hope to provide you with some tantalizing tidbits in our books.

My submission for this week's Book Hooks is from my 5th novel, Acting Lessons.

He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.

In this scene, which occurs in chapter six, Peter Thorton has just finished giving his wife, Kate, a relatively mild spanking for defying his instructions, and is preparing to make love to her for the first time in over two years.  Peter adores Kate, but he's not above teasing her a little before giving her what she wants and needs as he gently nibbles her into a writhing mass of desire.  However, given her injured knee, he also wants to ensure nothing they do aggravates her torn meniscus, so he gently restrains her when she tries to counter-thrust against his pleasuring. Since they haven't been together for nearly six months, Peter enters Kate slowly to give her body time to adjust.  However, passion soon claims them and when Peter climaxes, Kate realizes they didn't use protection. But what stuns her most is Peter's confession that he didn't sleep with anyone else during their six month separation. Peter, however, doesn't want to get into a conversation over the way Kate jumped to conclusions over the kiss she witnessed, so he tells her they'll discuss the issue another day.

            "All right," Kate agreed, wondering again if she hadn't made a serious mistake.  If she'd accused Peter of being unfaithful to her, when he hadn't, he would have an excellent reason to be upset with her.  Furious even.  And as much as she wouldn't like it, any punishment he dispensed for her error in judgment would be justly deserved.  Except didn't he just admit he'd been kissing Emily a few seconds ago?  Even if he refrained from moving their act into the bedroom, Kate had sufficient cause to suspect they'd considered it.  She'd like nothing more than to put the ugly episode behind them, except more than her heart had been shattered that afternoon.  A part of her had died as well.

            He sat watching her for a moment before he reached out and brushed a few strands of hair off her forehead.  "I love you, Kate.  You realize that, don't you?"

            Her eyes started to burn as she nodded and said, "I love you, too.  I never stopped."

            "Nor I.  So, what do you say to a brand new start between us?"

Peter is finally back with Kate, though their issues are far from resolved. Even so, he wants to do whatever it takes to get their marriage back on track.

Guest Post - 11/24/15 - The Code of the West by Kelly Dawson @KellyDawsonAuth #Western #Spanking

Kelly Dawson is joining us here today to discuss her latest release "The Code of the West," which is a stand-alone sequel to Kelly's book "The Way of the West." As this one is also a spanking romance, I asked Kelly, "How many books have you published, and are they all spanking fiction?" and she replied, "I have 4 books published now, heaps that are in various stages of progress, and heaps more ideas swirling around in my head. No, they’re not all spanking fiction, but they’re all romance. Although it will be a while before something that isn’t spanking fiction will be published."

Excerpt:

           Squeezing her breast again, his other hand brushed against her pussy, tugging gently at the hair he found there. He separated her pussy lips with his fingers, holding her wide open, pushing his tongue deep inside her, exploring her innermost crevice. He nibbled at her pussy lips, tormenting her, driving her wild with desire. He flicked his tongue across her swollen clit, then rubbed the sensitive nub between his fingers, rolling it gently. Raising his hand, he slapped her wet pussy gently with the tips of his fingers, smiling as the look of first shock, then pleasure, spread over her face.

            “Do you like that, you naughty girl?” he whispered huskily, slapping his fingers against her pussy again. He drummed two fingers in a staccato pattern against her clit, then lowered his mouth to blow gently across it. She arched her back and moaned, a long, deep, drawn-out moan that showed him just how pleasurable she was finding his ministrations. He slapped her pussy again, slightly harder this time, one finger slapping her clit, and her body shuddered.

Blurb:

In the years since the tragic death of her parents, Jedda-Lyn Cross has given everything she has to keep the family ranch running. She has grown accustomed to getting no help at all from her alcoholic brother, but when his violent, sadistic friend tries to make Jedda his wife against her will, it is the last straw.

Her attacker is the son of the richest family in town, and with the corrupt sheriff ready to do his bidding Jedda is desperate to leave town in a hurry. With no money and no horse, her best chance of making her escape comes in the form of a soon-to-be-departing cattle drive led by the famous trail boss Wes Jordan. But a young woman has little hope of gaining employment on a cattle drive, so drastic measures will be required…

Wes is none too pleased when he discovers that the new drover he hired is actually a beautiful twenty-two-year-old woman disguised as a boy, but after hearing Jedda’s story he promises to protect her. As he quickly realizes, however, that will be easier said than done. Jedda is sassy, headstrong, and in serious need of a good, hard, bare-bottom spanking, and when her reckless disregard for her own safety finally pushes him too far, Wes takes her firmly in hand.

After a painful, humiliating punishment from the handsome trail boss, Jedda is left with her bottom burning and her mind set awhirl. In spite of everything, she aches for Wes to take her in his arms, and when at last he does the pleasure of his skillful, passionate lovemaking nearly takes her breath away. But with her obsessed former suitor and his hired guns still after her, can she bring herself to accept the fact that, for a man like Wes, risking his life to protect the woman he loves is just part of what it means to live by the code of the west.

About the Author:

Kelly Dawson loves anything to do with horses, rodeos and cowboys, and loves to get lost in a good book - preferably a rural romance where a strong woman falls in love with a ruggedly-handsome, tough but gentle cowboy, and these are the types of characters who feature in the stories she writes. Only in Kelly’s books, the cowboys are even better because they spank!
She lives literally at the bottom of the world in the South Island of New Zealand, with her husband, four kids, a dog and a cat.

#6BestHop - 11/22/15 - A Simple Misunderstanding - Denial means living a lie #CorbinsBend #Spanking

He came to her rescue when she needed him most, almost to lose her when she disobeyed him.

Welcome to Sunday's Six of the Best Blog Hop, where we share six paragraphs from a published novel or a work in progress.  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 week's excerpt is a sneak peek from my fourth spanking romance, A Simple Misunderstanding, which is the seventh book in the Corbin's Bend series.  I hope you enjoy it.

In this scene, which occurs near the beginning, Eleanor Benson (Elly) has some exciting news she wants to share with Gerald Douglas (Jerry).  She's seen Jerry in the dog park on an almost daily basis since she and her husband moved into Corbin's Bend, but only started opening up to him a few days ago.  As the Corbin's Bend vet, Jerry has expressed an interest in Elly's dog, Muffin.  His calm, steady manner soothes Elly's wounded spirit, and the fact his observant eyes seem to notice more about her than she'd like both attracts and frightens her.  All the same, he's the first person she thinks of when she has news to share.  So, she heads over to the dog park with her toy poodle, Muffin, in the hope he'll meet her there.  He does.  Excited, she tells him she had three women visit her that morning.  Wanting to hear more, Jerry starts asking questions and when he discovers Elly risked getting in trouble with her husband if he discovered she'd come to the dog park without his permission first, Jerry gives her a swat for putting herself at risk, then immediately apologizes.

“Elly.” When she didn’t glance up, he added, “Elly, please look at me.”

Reluctantly, she raised her gaze to meet his eyes.

“I’m sorry. I worry about you, but that doesn’t give me the right to chastise you. I don’t like seeing you in pain or knowing you’re being hurt when I can’t do anything to prevent it.”

“You worry about me?”

“Yes. Of course I do.”

“Why? I mean you shouldn’t, or you don’t have to. I’m fine. Arthur loves me.”

 

Jerry already suspects Elly's husband is harsher with her than he should be and wants to help her, but he is unable to intervene until Elly can admit she and Arthur are having problems. However, the notion that she's actually courting trouble doesn't sit well with him at all.

M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.

Blurb:

Though Arthur and Eleanor Benson have been practicing domestic discipline for three months since their wedding, he insists moving to Corbin's Bend, where domestic discipline is the norm rather than the exception, will revitalize their marriage. Elly has doubts, but since Arthur is the undisputed head of their household, they move. However, once Arthur becomes immersed in a community where spanking is not only permitted, but encouraged, his personality undergoes a dramatic change. Accusing his submissive wife of being lazy, disorganized and disobedient, he employs creative methods of pain and humiliation to mold Elly from the imperfect woman he married into the perfect woman he desires. And Elly finds herself a virtual prisoner in her own home, accountable only to the man who rules her life with a cane.

In his years as a vet, Jerry Douglas has seen what abuse does to animals, and he recognizes those same signs in Elly Benson during her daily escape to the dog park with her tiny poodle. Jerry steadfastly supports the tenets of domestic discipline and enjoys the freedom Corbin's Bend offers its residents, but he remains fiercely protective of anyone in need of a champion. And when he witnesses evidence of harsh handling, his instinct is to rush in and rescue. Problem is Elly Benson is a married and consenting adult who insists all her bruises and welts are nothing more than a simple misunderstanding between her and her husband, until the day Arthur Benson takes his authority and discipline one-step too far, endangering Elly's life.

#SatSpanks - 11/21/15 - Past Interference - Lesson in Board Management #CorbinsBend #Spanking

Sometimes you have to break the rules to get what you need.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

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 an excerpt from my new spanking novella in the Corbin's Bend series, Past Interference, the sequel to A Simple Misunderstanding. Past Interference is part of the Corbin's Bend Valentine's Day collection "Love in the Rockies," and is not being sold separately.

In this scene, which occurs in Chapter Five, Eleanor Benson (Elly) has made more than a few mistakes, one of which results in her throat being injured when she experiences another run in with her ex-husband.  Not permitted to talk until the doctor gives her permission, Elly is reduced to communicating with a white board.  With her wedding to Jerry scheduled to take place in three days, Elly refuses to spend one more night in the guest bedroom.  Knowing Jerry will do nothing to address their issues until after she's been cleared by their physician, Elly decides to confront the matter the only way she knows how.  Head on. Jerry gives Elly a chance to avoid the inevitable by ordering her to pick up her board one last time, but she stubbornly refuses to comply, so he makes good on his promise. When Elly finally gives in, Jerry wants to make sure she understands he's serious about her health, and that further disobedience will only get her in worse trouble.

As his hand continued to descend, Elly clamped her lips together and tried to stay silent, but she didn’t last another five swats before she started to wail. “I’m sorry.”

“That just earned you another seventeen, little girl. Speak again, and I’ll get the brush. Use. Your. Board.”

This volley was more painful than the last, so Elly struggled to keep silent as she frantically endeavored to scribble in all capital letters between whacks, “I’M SORRY!”

He delivered three more swats and stopped. Her bottom throbbed painfully, but rather than stroke and reassure her as he usually did, Jerry helped her to her feet and eased off the bottoms of her pajamas as he spoke. “You deliberately sought to make me angry, Elly, and you succeeded.” Handing her the board, he grabbed her arm. “Come with me.”

 

Though Elly knows her disobedience will push Jerry into taking action, she hopes the spanking she's about to receive will help clear some of the very uncomfortable tension developing between them and allow them to begin repairing their broken relationship.

M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.

Blurb:

Valentine's Day in Corbin's Bend.  As Elly Benson readies herself for her second wedding, the doubts and misgivings of any new bride-to-be are exacerbated by the abuse she suffered during her first marriage.

Though she's lived with Jerry Douglas for four months now, and been subject to his discipline more than once, Elly's first husband had been kind and careful with her, too, until the day she vowed to love, honor and obey him.  The lessons she's learned from the past make her doubt she can ever find happiness in the future.
