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 sneak peek from my fourth spanking book, A Simple Misunderstanding, a Corbin's Bend novel due to be published on July 16 by Blushing Books.
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, Jerry determines Elly needs to learn obedience to him is not optional. After making sure she's healthy enough to withstand punishment, he orders her to stand in the corner.
“You may turn around now.”
Obeying, she spotted him seated at the end of bed holding a bright blue
plastic object. He held the item up for her. “Recognize what this is?”
“A thong?” Not the horror her imagination had conjured after all.
“Yes. One of mine. Put your hand out.”
Wincing, she walked toward him with her hand extended. He smacked the
molded-foam shoe against her fingers. She barely felt the strike.
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.
A Simple Misunderstanding is scheduled to be published on July 16.

ReplyDeleteHe seems like such a sweet man. She is so lucky to have found him. Can't wait to see what happens next. Great snippet :)

Oh my, you got me there. Like Roz, not what I expected. I'm really looking forward to this, Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteYou're going to giggle at this, but a 'thong' in the UK is a g-string. So when your hero said 'one of mine' I burst out laughing. It took a moment to gather what you meant - but spanking by beach shoe? That works for me. Yum.
ReplyDeleteLove this primes! I'm looking forward to July 16. I did have the same thought as Christina when I read about the thong, but it only took me a minute.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this book! I'm reading Cara's now and have enjoyed every one I've read out of this series.
ReplyDeleteNice snippet, Kathryn. Could he be practicing on her hand first? ;) *winks*
ReplyDeleteVery nice, any man that is nice to pets is a good guy.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a thong of a different color! You had us going for minute there. Fun snip KRB
ReplyDeleteInteresting choice of implement. Why to I assume there are going to be worse things around the corner? Congrats on the new release as well.
ReplyDeleteI thought you meant undies too, but he's talking about a flip flop? Creative!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there too, Normandie. I was thinking: "Damn, this is PhD level Domliness to figure out a way to punish your woman with a thong."
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm an idiot.
Three more days. I can't wait for this to come out!
