#MFRWHooks - 1/31/18 - Lessons in Love - Pam questions her ability to submit #DD #OfficeRomance

She needed a job, he needed a personal assistant. What could go wrong?

On this last day in January, welcome 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 8th novel, Lessons in Love.

Pam Weston didn't have many choices as far as employment went. Her prison sentence saw to that. With limited secretarial skills, and an even more limited budget, she never considered herself executive material. So, when she was ordered to report to the CEO of her company as his new personal assistant, she fully expected to be checking out the "Help Wanted" section of the paper before the day was over.

Robert Peterson knew his management style was not HR approved, but he believed in using the stick as well as the carrot. Employing the tenets of domestic discipline, he helped mold his personal assistants into confident women who recognized their own self-worth. Even so, his unorthodox methods were only one of the reasons many considered the position of his assistant to be a revolving door. To Rob's mind, Pamela Weston was perfect for his purposes, though given her past he expected convincing her to agree to his program would be a challenge.

In this scene, which occurs in chapter eight, Robert Peterson is treating his new executive assistant, Pam Weston, to dinner at his exclusive club where he escorts her to a private dining room so she can ask her questions. However, when Pam refuses to sit down, Rob stands. The moment he does, Pam sits and picks up her menu saying she's not sure what she's going order. Rob steps over and asks her to take his hand. When she finally obeys, he holds her close and assures her she's safe. Then taking her over to the couch, he pulls her down on his lap and continues with his agenda by telling Pam every time she disobeyed one of his orders, she made a conscious decision to do so, which he considers to be willful disobedience. An offense far more serious than simple disobedience, which, if you read between the lines, means he intends to give her a spanking. However, his plans are interrupted when he needs to leave to take a phone call.

Left to her own devices, Pam struggled with her conflicting emotions. She was falling in love with her boss, and that wasn't wise for so many reasons she couldn’t begin to count them. What was worse, he didn’t want a girlfriend; he wanted an admin who answered to him the way women obeyed men back in the 1800s. Not that he was mean or inconsiderate of her feelings. If anything, he was extremely gentle with her when he bossed her about. An odd combination, to be sure. Once he was done with his conversation, he intended to spank her. She had no doubt about that. She'd defied his instructions too many times today for him to ignore her actions. She dreaded it at the same time she wished her punishment was already over.

Pacing the floor, she recalled how her stepfather enjoyed heightening her fear by removing his belt and snapping it in her face. She’d tried to run and fight him, but she was a young girl and he was a fully grown man who wasn't above tying her up with rope so she couldn't. She’d lose count of the number of times the leather bit into her flesh. His aim wasn't always accurate, since he was usually drunk when he whipped her, so she often sustained cuts and bruises she had to hide from her teachers and schoolmates.

Pam rubbed her wrists, remembering the raw, ugly burns she'd suffered from the rope. Peterson's punishments were gentle in comparison, but they touched her in a far more vulnerable area. An area she protected with every inch of her being. An area that scared her to the bone and caused her to break out in a cold sweat whenever she considered what it would take from her. The area of free will. He expected her to willingly submit to his physical punishment without resistance or hesitation.

Since Rob knows Pam is nervous about their relationship, he takes her to his club so she could openly ask him questions with far more privacy than a restaurant would offer. Another perk, given the purpose of his club and the predilections of its members, is the privacy it offers should members choose to resolve their issues, rather than merely discuss them. Unfortunately, all this only serves to make Pam even more nervous than the man does himself.

MFRW Book Hooks - 1/17/18 - A Dom's Dilemma - Kelly resolutely keeps silent #BookHooks #BDSM

In BDSM, silence isn't always golden.

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 post for this Wednesday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel published by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love. Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, since we see a little bit of Kyle and Tiffany in this book, too. Both books have recently been re-edited and revised and given new covers.

This scene in A Dom's Dilemma occurs near the end of Chapter Six.  Jim and Kelly are just starting to get to know each other when Jim discovers Kelly is still sore from the enema and examination he gave her a half-hour ago.  She knows that means he will want to examine and treat her, but she really wants to avoid having him touch her back there again, if it's at all possible.  It isn't, but Jim compromises by making the experience as pleasurable as he can.  However, he's a Dom, so there are some rules Kelly will need to follow.  Rules like forbidding her to come until he gives his permission. The sort of rules he fully expects her to break. Of course, when she does, a good Dom needs to provide the proper discipline his sub requires and expects, but he can also add pleasure to the experience, if he chooses. Afterward, he holds, cuddles, and reassures her until her tears have dried. 

Though Kelly came with his finger deep inside her, she had been hurt so badly before during anal play, she'd needed corrective surgery. As a consequence, hearing Master James tell her he intended to pursue having sex with her in her now puckering butt, scared her, and more than a little. He picks up on her reaction and asks if she will now tell him what had happened to her, but she knows he'd drop her like a sack of sand if she told him the truth, so she politely refuses. Her refusal leads him to warn, "Well, since you refuse to say what happened, I got to assume there's no problem. Because a good sub would never hold something so important back from her Dom. Right?"

            When Kelly winced, her clever Dom reached over and pinched her chin. "You know I'd be real gentle with you, don't you?"

She nodded reluctantly. He would be as gentle as possible, but as sore as his exam left her, she also knew sex with him was going to hurt, since she'd place the instrument he'd used into the peewee division if the two were ever entered into a contest of comparisons. The long, thick object pressing against her hip was far too intimidating, by her way of reckoning, and she wasn't a quailing virgin by any means.

"As a matter fact," he continued without pause. "I can promise you'd feel lots more pleasure back there than you recently did on my lap. So you have nothing to fear about me playing at your backdoor, no matter what you experienced before." 

Though convinced he was wrong, Kelly made no effort to contradict him. He must have sensed her disagreement, however, because he added, "And unless you give me a good reason why I shouldn't, I intend to prove all that and more real soon." He gave her nose another tap. "Whether you realize the truth or not, Kelly girl, you're in for a treat when I finally show you how enjoyable backdoor play can be."

Kelly didn't dare shake her head, since doing so would only earn another reproof, if not a spanking, from her very strict Dom. However, considering his "larger-than-average" size, she suspected his knocking her backdoor would be anything but a treat.

Jim is into control, not pain, and he wants Kelly to find pleasure in everything they do together, but the Dom in him insists upon taking the lead.  Things will happen his way, and on his terms.  End of story. Although Jim finds a great deal of satisfaction in Kelly's enthusiastic response, and her trust is of paramount importance to him, his role as a Dom requires him to hold her accountable when she lies or disobeys. And he knows the cuddly armful currently resting on his lap is hiding the truth from him.

WIPitUP Wednesday - 1/17/18 - Arrested by Love - Tiffany learns brattiness carries consequences #DD #OfficerRomance

WIP: Work in progress.  WIP it up Wednesday is a hop where writers share portions of the project they're working on with readers.  I really like the idea because it allows me to share something that's still in the creative stage as well as work behind the scenes as a prompt to keep me writing. Unfortunately, I don't have anything ready to share, yet. So, today I've decided to post from my first spanking novel "Arrested by Love."  And, if you sign up for my newsletter, you can get a copy of the book for free. 

(P.S.: You can get it free anyway, but this way you get two for one at no cost to you.)

In Arrested by Love, Kyle and Tiffany have been having problems, but they are attempting a reconciliation after Kyle basically kidnapped her from her home, with her father's grudging approval, and drove her to see a doctor. Tiffany had become very ill during their separation and Kyle is determined to take care of her in every way she needs. Though Tiffany isn't a true submissive, she is trying to smooth things over with Kyle, so she's working hard to keep her bratty tendencies at bay. However, there's only so much a girl can do, and after reminding her she might be pregnant, Kyle makes things worse by threatening her with a spanking if she doesn't behave more responsibly. Her pride wounded by the suspicion she doesn't matter as much as the possible fetus in her womb, Tiffany launches herself at him and begins hitting and slapping. Struggling to keep his temper in check, Kyle gives her the spanking he promised then puts her back in her chair. Humiliated and furious, Tiffany runs into their bedroom, slams the door and locks it. Kyle gives her a few minutes to calm down before he convinces her that locking him out isn't going to solve anything.

She'd stopped crying, or at least sobbing, so he opened the door slowly in case she chose to lob something at him. She was seated on the bed, glaring at him, but her lower lip trembled, which meant there was a bit of apprehension behind all that righteous anger.

He stepped into the room and shut the door. She didn't try to back away, so he moved closer.

"What are you going to do?" she asked, more than a little nervously.

"For the moment, I intend to sit beside you, pull you onto my lap, and give you some hugs and kisses. Would you like that?"

She nodded, but the tears started again. So, he sat down beside her and pulled her into his arms. "I'm sorry," she wailed again.

"Shh, sweetie. It's all right, and it's over. I'm not sure why you wanted me to spank you, but you clearly needed me to take a firm stand, so I did."

"What makes you think I wanted a spanking?" she asked with a sniff.

"Because you didn't back down when I warned you to."

"I was angry with you."

"I know you were. But, whether you know it or not, when you start to get bratty and sass me, you are demanding I put you over my knee."

 

Kyle enjoys Tiffany's sass to a point. The fact that she's feeling better has him in a much better mood. And though he's insisting on maintaining a DD relationship with his girl, he gives her as much leeway as his dominance will allow. However, his patience does have limits, and she needs to be more adult now that they suspect she is pregnant. So, her petulant little girl attitude carries consequences.

#SatSpanks - 1/13/18 - A Simple Misunderstanding - Elly clings after a spanking #CorbinsBend #Spanking

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

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 a selection from my fourth spanking book, A Simple Misunderstanding, a Corbin's Bend novel.  

In this scene, which occurs in the last third of the book, Eleanor Benson (Elly) has moved in with Gerald Douglas (Jerry) after she is released from the hospital, still recovering from injuries she received from her husband.  Jerry insists she stay close to the house and not take her dog walking in the park on the first day she's home.  However, when an older neighbor calls to her from the dog park, Elly disobeys Jerry's instructions and takes their two dogs with her, unaware her abusive husband is lying in wait for her.

When her actions nearly get her killed, Elly finally accepts her only option is to divorce her husband, but after signing the papers, she realizes Jerry is still angry over her disobedience. 

Frustrated by the distance growing between them,  Elly realizes unless she confronts him, Jerry will continue to treat her like an invalid, despite his growing anger. Still, when push comes to shove, and Jerry accepts her challenge, Elly begins to have second thoughts. Covering her unease with bravado, she demands to know what makes him think she's asking to be spanked. 

Despite her reticence to submit, Jerry recognizes Elly's show of defiant disobedience as a cry for him to take action, so he remains adamant without force. Unfortunately, what Elly really wants is for Jerry to take the decision away from her, so her submission is no longer her choice, except that's not how Jerry prefers to do things, but he does when Elly leaves him no choice. So, over his knee she went, but Jerry also wants her to know that his punishment was being given with love even as he insists she promise not to disobey him again after each swat.

When the tenth swat is delivered, Elly's pride crumbles and she bursts into tears.

Knowing she was being foolish, and childish, and totally overreacting, Elly covered her face with her hands and started to sob. “I’m sorry. I’ll try not to be this difficult in the future. Hold me, Jerry. Please don’t let me go.”

He drew her up in his arms. “I have no intention of ever letting you go, so put that idea right out of your head.” Cupping her cheeks in his hands, he kissed her. Her face had to be blotched and her nose all runny, but he didn’t seem to notice as he reassured her with his lips and tongue until every bit of resistance she possessed melted away as if it had never existed. She loved being held by him. When he released her mouth, she curled into his chest like a scared child.

Warm fingers rubbed her shoulders and arms with gentle reassurance. “Now, were those few swats worth all the fuss you put up?”

Elly laughed through her tears, realizing she had kicked and screamed, and he had taken her seriously. Rather than answer, she clung even tighter. His shirt smelled fresh, as if he’d recently removed it from the dryer, while Jerry’s neck exuded the clean, piney fragrance of his soap, his lips still possessed a hint of beer and his arms retained only a trace of the scent she’d associated with his clinic.

 

After being abused by her husband, Elly is antsy about entering into another DD relationship, but she's disobeyed Jerry, and until he forgives her, a part of her will remain unsettled and ill-at-ease.  Rather than continue in limbo, Elly decides to push Jerry into taking action, but getting what she asks for isn't always what she wants.

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.

MFRW Book Hooks - 1/10/18 - Learning to be Little - New life, new rules #Ageplay #BDSM

She needed a savior, but she wasn't looking for a second daddy

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 newest release, Learning to be Little: Kelly's Story. It's the sequel/prequel to my only BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, and Book 3 in my Unexpected Consequences series.

Cold and hungry, Kelly Franklin was down on her luck when a gentleman stepped in, paid for an hour of her time, fed her, then made a proposition she never expected, but couldn't afford to turn down.

In this scene, which occurs in chapter five, Kelly has just received her first serious spanking from her daddy, and though she's subdued, the issues that originally caused her to act out have not entirely been resolved to her satisfaction. All the same, she has no wish to cause him to discipline her again, so she needs to tread lightly.

After breakfast, Daddy escorted Kelly into her bathroom, and had her sit on the chair she'd used last night while he brushed her loosened hair back into pigtails. "Do you need to go potty before we leave?"

"Where are we going?"

He frowned, and she realized their destination didn't matter. Littles went wherever their Daddies led them, no questions asked. "Sorry," she murmured.

"I thought I'd take you shopping, so we can make sure you have enough clothes that fit you, and we'll stop by the jewelers to get the gold studs I promised you."

"Oh."

"Why don't you try to go potty before we go, so you won't feel the need while we're out."

She nodded then gazed at him, waiting for him to leave.

"Go on," he prompted.

"With you in the room?"

"Why not?"

Shrugging, she said, "I sort of assumed you'd let me have some privacy."

"Little girls don't require privacy, Kelly, unless they're doing something they shouldn't."

At the moment, one month seems an awfully long time to Kelly. The gentleman who insists upon treating her like his daughter is very strict and determined things be done his way, though she sees a glimmer of hope in the way he takes her feelings into account.

M/F, DD and Daddy Doms.

Blurb:

When hunger and cold induce Kelly Franklin to accept a stranger's offer, she has no idea how drastically her life will change. Offered a chance to live the childhood she was denied, Kelly discovers a new-found freedom in allowing someone else to make all her decisions. And though it takes her awhile to fully accept the changes expected of her, by the time Kelly gleefully embraces her little girl, she is forced to re-evaluate her life.

#WIPitUP - 1/10/18 - Lessons in Love - Pam finds herself on her boss's lap #DD #OfficeRomance

WIP: Work in progress.  WIP it up Wednesday is a hop where writers share portions of the project they're working on with readers.  I really like the idea because it allows me to share something that's still in the creative stage as well as work behind the scenes as a prompt to keep me writing.

Since I currently do not have any WIPs ready to share, I thought I would post a snippet from "Lessons in Love." my executive office spanking romance.

"Lessons in Love" centers around a wealthy business owner who believes in helping his executive admins using politically incorrect, H.R.unapproved, and therefore clandestine, Domestic Discipline techniques.  Since DD isn't for everyone, he does tend to go through admins rather frequently.  However, he also makes sure if they choose not to work for him because of his unorthodox management style, that they are given another suitable position in his company if they wish to stay, or a handsome severance package if they choose to leave.

Pam Weston has worked in Robert Peterson's company for nearly six months as a temp when she is reassigned to the President's office.  She has caught glimpses of Mr. Peterson when she temped on the executive floor, but she never expected she'd be summoned to work for him.  Pam has a criminal record and a murky past, which has made her practically unemployable, and yet now H.R. has assigned her to work for the president of their company, and after her first day she suspects working for Mr. Peterson will be a very different experience.

In this excerpt, Mr. Peterson has ordered Pam to block off the morning on his calendar so they could have a "discussion" about his expectations for her as his assistant. Pam is understandably nervous to have his intentions spelled out in black and white, but she does her best to appear calm and collected until she realizes this "discussion" is going to take them into subjects she'd much rather avoid, and she admits he's different with her today than he was the night before.

He reached for her hand and gave her fingers a light squeeze. "How so?"

"Well, for one, you weren't in a suit."

"Ah. The businessman syndrome. I should have realized." He stood up and removed his jacket, which he draped over the chair, loosened his tie, and rolled up his sleeves. Placing his hands on his hips, he turned to face her. "Better?"

She smiled and shrugged. Even in jeans, the man looked dangerous. Standing with his firm biceps exposed, he looked even more so, but she wasn't about to tell him that.

"Still doesn't do it for you?" He took a seat beside her and grabbed her arm to pull her over. Instant terror gripped Pam's insides as she fought against his hold. He didn't argue, scold, or give any outward appearance that he recognized her resistance; he simply pulled until she had no choice but go where he directed. Letting out a small scream, she ended up sitting on his lap before he wrapped his arms around her. "What did you think I was going to do?"

With a shake of her head, Pam struggled to rise, but he refused to release her. She resisted more desperately, but his arms remained locked about her waist, not budging an inch.

When Pam Weston was ordered to report to the CEO of Peterson Enterprises she had no idea her new boss had hired her specifically as his next pet project, so she took the assignment suspecting he would fire her before the end of the day. Recognizing a prison record rendered her unemployable by most companies, she worked hard and kept a low profile. Except, working as an executive assistant for the CEO was about as "high profile" as any job could get. And working for Robert Peterson in particular would present Pam with challenges she never expected.

Guest Post - 1/9/18 - Held in Custody by Ashe Barker #TimeTravel #SpankingRomance

Introduction

Excerpt:

Finn reached around her to pull her closer to his body. The solid shaft of his cock nudged her bottom as she leaned back against him. Eira writhed as he spread the spicy-scented soap across her shoulders and down her arms, then returned to her neck and did it all over again. As she relaxed into the caress he lowered his hands to cup her breasts.

"Tell me no, if you don't want this."

Eira had to concentrate hard, and she was still uncertain that she properly understood his meaning. Was he seeking permission? Had she not made her wishes clear by coming into this room when she had no need to? By joining him in this wondrous indoor waterfall of his?

He stopped, his hands still on her breasts but motionless now. She could come up with no words to express her desire, but she could show him. Eira laid her hands on top of his, pressing his palms more firmly against her smooth curves. She turned her head toward him, her eyes closed and she let out a soft sigh.

"Eira? Ja?"

She understood that. "Ja," she murmured.

It was enough, it seemed. Finn kissed her exposed neck. His gentle fingers traced the delicate lower curves of her breasts before circling her nipples. The sensitive buds swelled and lengthened under his touch. Finn took each peak between his thumb and index finger and squeezed.

Eira moaned her delight, then she arched her back, thrusting her breasts further into his hands. Finn seemed to know what she wanted. He tightened his hold, increasing the pressure little by little until she tensed with the pleasure/pain of his touch and cried out but still she did not attempt to stop him.

He murmured soft words into her ear as he tugged on her nipples. Eira remembered the joy of a man's touch. Audun had not been without such skills and she had known pleasure in his bed. Could she reach her release from what Finn was doing to her now? She thought she might, but it was not to be. Finn had another surprise ready for her.

He reached for the source of the cascading water and removed it from the wall above them. In his capable, powerful hands the jet narrowed down to one powerful stream of water, which he directed straight onto her right nipple.

The pleasure was unexpected, but exquisite. Eira gasped, then squealed when he subjected her other pebbled nub to the same treatment. Next, he pushed his foot between both of hers and eased her ankles apart. She knew what he would do next, and held her breath as he slid his free hand around the front and between her legs. Finn used his fingers to part her delicate folds and pull back the hood which partly concealed her clit, and his encircling arm to hold her still when he turned the jet on that most sensitive spot.

Blurb:

When he encounters an injured young woman while on a motorcycle ride on the small Scottish island of North Uist, police officer Finn Olsen immediately comes to her aid, but to his surprise her dialect proves all but incomprehensible to him. To make matters worse, she first tries to run and then does her best to stab him with a dagger after he catches her.

Recognizing that the woman is confused and distraught, Finn disarms her, handcuffs her, and brings her back to the local police station, which doubles as his home. Once she is in his custody, however, it quickly becomes clear that his beautiful, feisty prisoner comes from a very different era, and that she has somehow travelled forward in time more than a thousand years.

Finn takes it upon himself to keep the headstrong girl safe in a completely unfamiliar world, even going so far as to bare her bottom for a sound spanking with his belt when she attempts an escape. Despite her situation, she is deeply aroused by his bold dominance, and when he claims her properly she is left utterly spent and satisfied. But as they unravel the mystery of her arrival in the twenty-first century, will their discoveries bring an end to their newfound romance?

About the Author:

USA Today best-selling author Ashe Barker has been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic and other genres. She still loves reading, the hotter the better. But now she has a good excuse for her guilty pleasure – research.

Ashe tends to draw on her own experience to lend colour, detail and realism to her plots and characters. An incident here, a chance remark there, a bizarre event or quirky character, any of these can spark a story idea.

Ashe lives in the North of England, on the edge of the Brontë moors and enjoys the occasional flirtation with pole dancing and drinking Earl Grey tea. When not writing – which is not very often these days - her time is divided between her role as taxi driver for her teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, tortoises.  And a very grumpy cockatiel. 

At the last count Ashe had over forty titles on general release with publishers on both sides of the Atlantic, and several more in the pipeline. She writes M/f, M/M, and occasionally rings the changes with a little M/M/f. Ashe’s books invariably feature BDSM. She writes explicit stories, always hot, but offering far more than just sizzling sex. Ashe likes to read about complex characters, and to lose herself in compelling plots, so that’s what she writes too.

Ashe has a pile of story ideas still to work through, and keeps thinking of new ones at the most unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a lot more from her.

Ashe loves to hear from readers. Here are her social media links:
