It's Frisky Friday! Yay! And I'm sharing another excerpt from my new spanking romance in the Corbin's Bend series, A Simple Misunderstanding.
He came to her rescue when she needed him most, almost to lose her when she disobeyed him.
In this scene, which begins Chapter 12, Eleanor Benson (Elly) is due to be released from the hospital, after a five day stay. Gerald Douglas (Jerry, who is Corbin Bend's vet) has been at her side almost the whole time, but he had to leave the day before for an emergency. When he called Elly that evening to tell her he was driving back to Denver, she sounded strange on the phone, but insisted he remain in Corbin's Bend, claiming she wanted to go to sleep early. Certain she was not telling him the truth, he pressed a little harder only to have say she had to hang up because a nurse just came in. Convinced something was up, he calls the nurse's station, but they claim Elly is alone and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. He stays home as she wanted, but remains ill at ease. When he arrives at the hospital the next morning, Elly is nearly in a panic, so he demands she sit down and tell him what is bothering her.
She shook her head, her breathing growing
rapid and shallow. “Help me get my top on.”
Grasping her wrists, which were no longer
bandaged, he held them captive in a gentle but unyielding grip, careful not to
hurt her. “Elly, you’re starting to hyperventilate. Now calm down and tell me
what’s got you so upset.”
Though she gave another shake of her
head, she quieted under his tender restraint. He remembered the way she’d
panicked the first time he tried to touch her wrists, so she definitely did
trust him more now; however, he wasn’t pleased she was still trying to keep
something from him. Something that had frightened her.
M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.
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.
