#SatSpanks - 11/4/17 - Past Interference - Promising obedience can lead to unhappiness #CorbinsBend #DomesticDiscipline


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 Interferencethe sequel to A Simple Misunderstanding.  It used to be available only as part of the Love in the Rockies anthology, but is now being sold as a single release.



In this scene, which occurs in Chapter Six, Eleanor Benson (Elly) has made more than a few misjudgments, one of which results in her throat being injured when she experiences another run in with her ex-husband.  After she's been cleared by the doctor to talk, Jerry offers to call off from work then get them both a couple of drinks so they can discuss things through undisturbed. Elly thinks that's a good idea until Jerry admits he broached the topic of her uncertainties with their doctor and was given the advice that showing was better than telling. His words cause Elly more than a little unease. Having already made one serious mistake by marrying her first husband, she fears the consequences of making another.


Jerry’s appearance in Elly's life was close to a miracle. He was unstinting in his affection, patient and incredibly gentle. A part of her understood she was being ridiculous. Jerry would never purposefully hurt her in any way, but he was still a dominant male with certain expectations, and marriage was a sacred covenant. He might not intend to treat her any differently after they wed, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t.
“What are you thinking?”
“I’m wondering why you’re so insistent I promise to obey you in church when you don’t think it will make any difference in our relationship.”
“I didn’t say it wouldn’t make any difference, I merely said that since you’re already obeying me, it should make very little difference to you.”
“So, why don’t we simply drop the word? It could save us a lot of time and grief.”
“You want to know why I think eliminating ‘obey’ from your vows would be a mistake?”
She nodded.
“Because it’s not the word itself that’s causing your hesitancy, Elly. It’s your trust. I could agree and let you change your vows to ease your mind, but that would merely be placing a bandage on the problem, rather than rooting out its cause.”

 

Elly is grasping at straws. Though her rational mind tells her Jerry would never turn into the monster her husband became on their wedding night, the scared little girl hiding inside her fears promising obedience will only end with a second struggle for freedom against the suffocating pressure of another man's thumb.




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.
