Guest Post - 6/17/17 - Master Zane by Maggie Carpenter #Victorian #EroticRomance

The talented Maggie Carpenter is on our guest couch today to share a tantalizing tidbit from her new Victorian Erotic Romance "Master Zane: The Rogue Aristocrat." It is Book 3 in the Alpha Male Masters series.


Excerpt:

Zane, you cant, she protested. You just cant.
I can and I will, he said sharply, and grabbing her wrist he pulled her to the closest chair, yanked her over his lap, and placed his leg over the backs of her knees.
NO! Let me go, please, I beg you, let me go.
 You are a willful irresponsible young woman and this is long overdue.
Smoothing his hand over her upturned bottom he discovered shed not bothered with her petticoats; the thin silk dress and knickers underneath would offer little protection.
Prepare yourself. This will hurt, he warned, and immediately launched into the discipline, rapidly moving his flattened palm from cheek to cheek.
OW! NO! STOP! NO! OW! she wailed squirming frantically.
Do I have your attention?
Yes, yes, yes, she said breathlessly. You do, please, no more.
There will most definitely be more, he said sternly, landing several hard slaps to underscore his decree, but for the moment you will listen to me. Understood?
Yes, yes.
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir, I will listen, I swear.
What were you doing out in the street?
I was going to my friends place.
Your friend? Who is this friend and why were you going there? Were you planning to come back, or were you going to leave me to worry as youve left your family to worry?
I was going to let her know I was safe then come back here right away. I was going to tell you about it in the morning. I was, I promise I was.
I cannot believe my ears. You decided to go out late at night by yourself, then come back again? You foolish girl, he scolded, abruptly delivering several more swats. You see what happened? No sooner were you outside than you got in trouble. Had I not been in the drawing room I would not have heard you scream.
OW, OW.
You will never again do something so reckless, do you hear me?
OW! OUCH! YES, SIR!
You should have told me about this friend of yours when I asked earlier, he admonished, resting his hand on her hot backside and giving it a squeeze. Why didnt you?
I, uhouch!
You what?
Id rather not tell you.
You most certainly will tell me, he declared immediately sending his hand back to work. Youre going to tell me and its going to be the truth.
OWW, yes, all right, I will, but can I catch my breath for a minute? she panted. I need to, uh, gather my thoughts.
NO! Youll tell me now!
All right, I will. Just dont spank me anymore.
Thats up to you. Start talking.
My friend, her name is Anne, she would have insisted I leave here and stay with her until things are sorted out and I dont want to do that. I want to stay here with you.
Zane shook his head. Would the girl never stop surprising him? Confessing that she wanted to stay with him had taken courage.
That must have been difficult, he murmured. Thank you for being brave and honest. Youre done for now, but youll find yourself back here if you dont behave. Is that clear?
Yes, sir.
We still have some matters to discuss but its very late, he said helping her up. Im tired and Im sure you are too.
I am, and my bottom is stinging like mad.
If you do foolish things around me thats what will happen. Knowing that, do you still want to stay here?
Uhcan I answer that later?
No, you must answer me now.
Youre so hard.
Im not hard, youre just spoiled. Do you still want to stay knowing youll be subject to my discipline?
Yes, she mumbled staring at the floor.
Im delighted to hear it. Well talk in the morning, but before I take you back to your room theres something you need to know.
Is it serious?
Yes, very, there was a notice in the paper about you.
WHAT? she gasped, her head darting up.
The headline said, Lady Flora Braithwaite Missing, and Id just started reading the report when I heard your scream.
Oh, my, goodness!
Exactly. Even though its late Im going to send my first footman to your house with a note saying that youre safe, that you lost your memory from a fall, and will be in touch tomorrow morning. I wont use my embossed paper and they wont know youre here. I doubt it would help your cause if they knew you were staying with a gentleman, especially not me.
Why especially not you?
In Paris I have a less than stellar reputation. If your parents make certain inquiries they may hear things about me. You must not mention my name. I dont mind but you might.
Is this a case when a lie might be better served than the truth? she asked softly, looking up at him with a twinkle in her eye.
Are you being cheeky?
Sort of, but not really.
Youll simply say you dont wish to talk about it. Or perhaps your friendwhats her name?
Anne.
Perhaps your friend Anne will have a suggestion, but you mustnt tell them you were staying with me. Clear?
I understand, but Id like to know about this reputation you speak of.
Doubtless you will soon enough. Come to my office and write down your address. I assume its not far.
Just around the corner and down a couple of blocks.
Over breakfast youll tell me the whole story.
It had been a statement not a request, and lowering her eyes she nodded her head.
You know you deserved that spanking, dont you?
UmI suppose.
You suppose? Going out by yourself so late at night and in the snow? I should spank you for not realizing how totally irresponsible that was.
NO! she exclaimed, I do realize, I do. Sorry.
You just didnt want to admit it?
I didnt, but I do now.
Bien. Come along, youll give me that address and Ill rouse my footman.
