Contemporary BDSM Romance - Dominance isn’t always about love -
until Gemma meets Jason.
Today, we've got Jaye Peaches visiting with an enticing excerpt from her novel To Know You. Before we get to that, I asked her, "What was the hardest part of writing your book?" Here's her answer:
Letting go of the
characters. In the end, I didn’t. I wrote an ending, a conclusion to the story
that leaves the reader satisfied, then continued to write more about the
couple. I enjoyed watching - or should that be imagining - how they developed
and ensuring I remained true to their story.
I know exactly how she feels. Sometimes you really can't "just let go."
“Are you going to fire me, sir?” I
whispered, hoping to placate him quickly. “Punish me?” I didn’t want it. But
there again, it worked. It moved things on. When done right, except, I still
wasn’t sure if he understood how much trust I placed in his integrity.
Jason sighed, and perched on his desk.
“No. The situation is under control. Managers have been slapped back into line.
I’m not going to fire you. It’s obvious you didn’t intend to make mischief and
I don’t think it would help your career. I want this, us, to work, which means
I will punish you—I’m not going to fire your arse, like I warned you I would.”
Gone were the unpleasant tones of an angry boss. Something else switched into
play—husky, stern and bizarrely warming. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Striding to the door, he bolted it,
locking us in. “I want you to stand facing the wall, over there, nose against
it while you compose yourself.”
I trembled, my heart pounding, as I
carried out his instructions. I was strangely excited—punishment in an office
was a fantasy of mine—except the fantasy was really happening. What was he
going to do to me? Wedged in the corner, my legs wobbled.
Eventually, he issued his next command.
“Drop your skirt and knickers off.”
Inhaling deeply, I shuffled out of my skirt
and slipped out of my knickers, leaving behind my stockings and high heels. I
picked the clothes up and laid them on one of the chairs.
Jason selected a chair and moved it away
from the conference table. Sitting on it, he waved me over with his forefinger,
while with the other hand he undid his tie and pulled it out from under his
collar. With a flick of his wrist, he loosened the top button.
“Turn around,” he instructed, and he used
his necktie to bind my wrists. Holding my arm by the elbow, he lowered me
across his lap, then hooked his leg over and trapped my thighs. He pressed down
on the small of my back with the flat of his hand.
“I’m going spank you, Gemma, hard. This is
a punishment,” a soft yet stern tone, “Why am I punishing you?”
“Because I was indiscreet, Sir,” I
murmured. Underneath his hand, he must have been able to feel my racing
heartbeats.
I closed my eyes and waited. The smack
swept across both cheeks. He’d kept his palm rigid and flat, swiping up from
right to left. Pain radiated out immediately and I gasped. While I gritted my
teeth, more swipes followed. I hung my head and attempted to concentrate on
processing the pain.
