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 published on July 15 by Blushing Books. I hope you enjoy it.
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 realizes her only option is to divorce her husband, but after signing the papers, she realizes Jerry is still angry over her disobedience. At a loss as to what she can do to repair things between them, Elly tries to be helpful.
“I’ll fix dinner,” Jerry announced.
Elly stood. “I’ll help.”
“No. You can go sit in the living room until I call you.”
“But—”
He whirled around. “Elly, I’m not in the mood for any sass right now,
so I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d do as I requested for once. I’ve asked
Marcus to come over later to check you out, so you can rest until he gets here.”
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.

Such a patient man, normally. His patience is slipping here a little but not without reason. Great snippet Kathryn:)
ReplyDeleteReally liked this book. She was so traumatized, and Jerry was the only one willing to step in and try to save her.
ReplyDeleteOh I do so love a male who can lay down the law. I also love a man who can fix dinner LOL. So sit, Elly. SIT!!!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the thick tension between them. Really beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteAwww...poor Elly. I hope that her and Jerry make up!
ReplyDeleteI loved this book. The thong can be very ouchy.
ReplyDeleteMen just don't like sass but he is more patient than most. Even though I've already read, I still feel his frustration.
ReplyDeleteAll of his protective instincts have gone haywire and there wasn't anything he could do to protect her. I understand why he's so upset!
ReplyDeleteJerry never lost his patience with Elly unless he was well and truly tested. Even here, he is firm, but not unduly aggressive. But he can stand his ground when he needs to which makes him all the more lovable.
ReplyDeleteJust finishing this and loved it Kathryn. Great scene! Jerry showed so much patience with Ely.

He is clearly trying to take good care of her!
