#MFRWHooks - 12/31/14 - Deadly Enchantment - The difference between hope and belief #Paranormal #Shapeshifter



When a man gets carried away, it's the woman who's swept off her feet.

This material is Not Safe For Work. If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome to MFRW Book Hooks, a regular Wednesday feature! Today, I'm sharing a snippet from my second paranormal romance, Deadly Enchantment, a Victorian paranormal romance concerning the deadly rivalry between two shape-wizard brothers.  The legitimate heir, Terrence, received his father's money and title, but his illegitimate half-brother, Dominic, received all their father's affection and love, earning all of Terrence's resentment.

Published by New Concepts Publishing, the story revolves around a young psychic woman unwittingly drawn into the brotherly conflict when she faces off with the dark wizard of Ravenscroft, whom she is convinced has brutally slaughtered her sister in a fit of jealous rage on their wedding night.




In this segment, Dominic's deepening feelings for Serena make it more likely his evil brother will target her.  Rather than risk losing her for good, Dominic decides to send Serena home directly after the funeral of his sister.  Serena doesn't want to leave, but arguing will gain her nothing but his anger and the likelihood of a more speedy departure, so she remains silent. Though Dominic is suspicious of Serena's new found docility, until she is safely away from him he insists she remain within his reach at all times, which includes sleeping in his bed.  Dominic knows he is endangering Serena's life by keeping her with him, but he is unable to let her go. He desires her while he hates himself for not having more control, even as he greedily samples all she is willing to offer, but Serena wants more.  She wants him to let her stay and help in his quest to bring down his brother.



             “And now that you have me replete and satisfied, you believe you can bend me to your will.”
            Serena gave a soft shrug to her shoulders.  What she hoped and what she believed were not always the same.  “I am not that naive, though I do believe you might be more amenable to that discussion now, than before.”
            “As long as you do not take my willingness to hear you out as some sort of tacit agreement, I will discuss your ideas with you.”
            Emboldened, she leaned up on one elbow.  “With an open mind?” she inquired carefully.
            “My mind can only open so wide as far as you are concerned, sweet Serena, so do not expect me to alter what I feel and know to be true.”


Torn between his desire to protect the woman he loves, and his need to be with her, Dominic takes and gives back unstintingly, all the while praying he isn't making a fatal mistake.

Guest Post - 12/29/14 - Kallista Dane's Bared by the Billionaire #BDSM #Spanking #Romance

Kallista Dane is visiting today to discuss her new release "Bared by the Billionaire," but before we begin, I'd like to ask Kallista a couple of questions.

First, you admit to being a lifelong spanko.  How do you think the Internet and the surge of spanking related erotica is helping men and women who pre-Internet were confused or ashamed by their unusual desires?

 It took me years to work up the courage to admit my desire to be spanked – and more time after that for my husband to get on board with it.  It was hard for him to accept that it could possibly be a turn-on to me.  I first started making up spanking stories to introduce my secret fantasies into our personal life.
Now there’s lots of company out there for all of us spankos.  My advice to women who share this desire is – cowboy up and tell him some time!  Your man may surprise you.    

So, true.  Now could you tell us a little about Bared?

Bared by the Billionaire is my newest erotic romance.  I had a great time telling the story of Kyra Thornton and her initiation into the dark world of BDSM by sexy scieAntist/inventor and Dom Jake Harmon.  He’s got some surprises for Kyra, including wild sex/tech toys he invented that he’ll use on her as he introduces her to his domination.

A sex/tech Billionaire Dom.  I really want to find out how these two resolve their differences.


Excerpt:

“Take off the rest of your clothes.”
Her cheeks flushed but she did as she was told, trembling a little, eyes downcast the entire time. She dropped the bra and her hands moved to the nipple rings.
“Not those,” he said.
He saw the look of dismay on her face, but she never protested. She bent forward to unhook the garters. Slipping off her shoes and balancing on one foot, then the other, she peeled the stockings off. Finally she reached behind her and unhooked the lace garter belt, letting it fall to the floor. He let her stand there for a moment under the bright lights of the lab, naked, and just stared. Her body was beautiful. Full, lush breasts, narrow waist, hips that flared out.
“Come here and lie across my lap.” As she walked toward him, the portions of her brain that registered fear and anxiety responded strongly. But so did the center for arousal. She put one knee on the sofa, awkwardly supporting her weight with her hands as she draped herself across his lap.
Her body was warm and soft and when she let her full weight rest on him, he felt his own body respond. Without thinking, he stroked her bare ass and ground himself up against her, just a little. Harmon didn’t need a machine to tell the instant she felt his cock pressing up, hard and ready. Her sharp intake of breath did that.
Grabbing her wrists with one hand and holding them out in front of her, he smacked her bottom sharply with the flat of his palm. The computer screen exploded in lights. He started spanking her steadily, firm but not too hard at first, watching with clinical detachment as her lovely bottom turned pink.
He spanked harder and it took on a darker shade of red. As it did, her pain centers on the monitor glowed brighter and brighter. Her fingers dug into the fabric of the sofa but she never moved or made a sound.
He wanted more, wanted to see what she’d do once he broke her tight control. He shifted his legs a little and spanked her slowly, sensuously, rubbing the hard bulge in his pants back and forth across her wet slit with every whack. A soft moan escaped her lips. The sensors recorded a huge spike in endorphins. The pleasure centers of her brain were sending off fireworks. Harmon smiled to himself.
“Get down on your knees in front of me,” he demanded, letting go of her wrists.


Blurb:

Kyra Thornton is in serious trouble. Her former boss has disappeared after stealing every dime from the company's trust account and framing her for the theft, so when the FBI offers her a way to prove her innocence and escape prosecution, she hesitantly agrees. All she has to do is go undercover, take a job working for billionaire technology entrepreneur Jake Harmon, and find evidence to prove the FBI’s claims that he masterminded the crime.

There's just one catch: Jake is a Dom, and he’s looking for someone who can be both a financial officer for his company and the perfect sub for him. Kyra has never been a sub—or wished to be one—but under the circumstances she is left with little choice, and she soon finds herself stripped bare and on her knees awaiting Jake’s every command. To make matters worse, her new master quickly proves more than ready to punish any disobedience with a long, hard, deeply humiliating spanking.

But to Kyra’s shock, Jake’s firm-handed dominance and skillful mastery of her body leaves her not only blushing with shame and aroused far beyond anything she's ever experienced before, it also leaves her yearning for more. It isn't long before she feels a growing need to submit both her body and her heart to the dark, mysterious billionaire. But when the time comes to fulfill the bargain that kept her out of prison, can she trust Jake to protect her, or will she cast aside her newfound love to save herself?

Publisher’s Note: Bared by the Billionaire is an erotic romance novel that includes spanking, sexual scenes, BDSM, anal play, exhibitionism, elements of medical play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

#SPeekSunday - 12/28/14 - Arrested by Love - Tiffany chooses deception over honesty #DD #Spanking


He caught her speeding in a school zone and decided she needed to learn even civil disobedience could have very painful consequences.

Welcome to Sneak Peek Sunday.  For this hop we get to share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).

My submission for this week is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love.  A handsome, but strict, police officer  decides a spoiled socialite needs a special lesson in obeying the law.


Tiffany Morgan has been in love with Kyle Sinclair since she was ten years old, when he'd turned her over his knee for attempting to swim in a raging white water river. Though she'd been furious with him at the time, Tiffany never told her family what Kyle did. Instead, she began trailing after him like an annoying younger sister as she tried to gain his attention.

Now, eleven years later, Kyle, a patrol officer, is finding it much more difficult to maintain his distance from the irresistible and vivacious redhead who continues to invent ingenious ways to attract his interest. Though he dismissed her initial attraction to him as infatuation, as she grew-up, his own feelings of desire and protectiveness deepened. So, despite his constant struggle to resist the spirited little minx's lures, Kyle finally has to admit that he is losing the battle--badly.



After Kyle makes it clear to Tiffany that speeding will earn her much more than a ticket from him, he gives into the inevitable and asks her out on a date.  He loves her, but isn't sure he's the right guy for her.  However, he no longer fights the attraction between them as he dates her exclusively, but Tiffany wants more, so she makes her stand, and Kyle makes it clear how her life will change if they get married.  And he persists by asking if she even thought she could live on a budget.  When she informs him she is not fiscally irresponsible, he tells her that if she can live for one month on the budget he sets for her, and show how she'd been able to save the rest of her salary, without going to her daddy for help, he will ask her to marry him.  But after two weeks in a row of going over, Tiffany seeks out her father in a tearful panic.


            She could feel her father's chuckle as he hugged her.  "I really doubt Kyle would be that strict with you, Tiffany, and I think you owe it to him to be honest."
            She nodded.  "I've got two weeks to make it up, Daddy.  I'll be really careful.  Can't you help me out just this once?"
            Patrick Morgan sighed, then reached into his pocket.  "You know how much I hate seeing you unhappy, don't you?  And though I really think you should face Kyle with the truth, I will help you.  But just this once, Tiffany.  And I expect you to make up the difference over the next two weeks.  Understand me?"
            "Yes, Daddy," she said very submissively as he handed her the $100.  Her father really was a pushover when it came to her needing something, though Tiffany still loved and respected him.  Reaching up on her tiptoes, she kissed his cheek.  "Thank you, Daddy.  I really, really, really appreciate it."  Then she smiled at him, so he shook his head and gave her chin a little pinch.
            "Yeah, I know you can wind me around your little finger, pumpkin, but I don't think Kyle is going to be that easy for you to manipulate.  And though I'm sure he loves you very much, he could get really angry with you if you lie to him about this," he warned her as he gently wiped away one of her tears.  "I'm not totally blind to your shenanigans, darling.  And from what I've noticed after your few interactions with him, when he obviously felt you needed a bit more than a scolding, I really don't think you want to test him on this.  Men are funny in that way.  They can forgive a lot.  However, a lie is something that is very hard for them to excuse."
            "I know that, Daddy," Tiffany said, loving her father for his concern.



Tiffany loves Kyle, and wants to prove to him she can will make a good wife, except she's never tried to keep to a budget before, and she quickly discovers it's much harder than she originally thought.  She knows going to her father is against the rules, but she can't face Kyle's disappointment for the second week in a row, so she breaks the rule, convincing herself she'll make it up in another way.

#SatSpanks - 12/27/14 - A Dom's Dilemma - Kelly gets an enema #BDSM #Spanking


She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

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 from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.  I'm picking up exactly where we left off last time.


In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who works as a police detective by day and lives and plays as a Dom by night, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station working with his new submissive, Kelly Franklin.  When Kelly balks, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for her reaction.  After giving her repeated opportunities to tell him what's bothering her, he decides to continue with his original agenda.  However, when Kelly discovers he intends to give her an enema, her fear increases exponentially, which validates his suspicions, but doesn't address Kelly's lack of trust or stubborn refusal to obey.  So, after reminding his reluctant sub what BDSM is about, Jim gives her an ultimatum.  Say her safe word or submit to his will.  Kelly agrees to do what he wants, despite the persistent inner voice urging her to run away.  Though Jim's purpose is not to humiliate or punish Kelly, her previous experience with medical BDSM was both embarrassing and painful, so despite Jim's extra care and patience with her, she's dreading the procedure.


Closing her eyes, Kelly obeyed and forced her muscles to go lax.  "That's it exactly."  She felt his finger slowly circling her anus and tried not to tense.  "Good girl."  Next he pressed his gloved finger inside her to spread the lube internally.  She let out a little whimper, but concentrated on not resisting.  "Perfect," he praised.  "Just what I wanted.  Now, Kelly, I need you to push back, the same way you did before."
            When she didn't immediately obey, he gave her a warning.
            "Kellly…."
            Taking a deeper breath she did as ordered, and instinctively tightened with a wince when the nozzle slid in.



Kelly has a past she's not willing to share with anyone, and enemas are a hard limit for her. Unfortunately, she adamantly refuses to say why, so Jim considers the procedure a necessity to ensure his new sub isn't concealing something that could make anal play dangerous for her. Though Jim's been trained and knows what to look for, withholding valuable information from a Dom is never a wise course of action for a sub to take.

#FriskyFriday - 12/26/14 - Acting Lessons - Kate's keeping secrets #DD #Spanking


Peter loved Kate with all his being, but that didn't mean he'd tolerate an ultimatum from her.

Welcome to another offering for Frisky Friday, where we hope you're getting as excited about the weekend as we are.

My submission for this week is from my 5th book, and newest release, Acting Lessons.

 He was a strict and demanding college professor turned professional director who excelled at giving acting lessons.  She was his shy and uncertain former student who became a professional actress under his tutelage.  They fell in love, married, and won two Tony Awards before tragedy struck and a simple kiss ripped them apart.

After a six month separation, Peter Thorton decides to take matters into his own hands by making his famous wife, Kate, an offer she wouldn't refuse.  Plainly put, he wants her back and he intends to do whatever is necessary to achieve his goal, even if it means giving his stubborn, willful leading lady a daily reminder over his knee that she promised to obey him.


In this scene, which occurs at the beginning of Chapter Four, Peter Thorton is attempting to get his wife ready for a trip to a college camp ground in upper New York, where they will appear together in a summer stock production of "Kiss Me Kate." Kate has agreed to help Peter teach the drama students who have auditioned and been selected personally by him for the course he is teaching.    Kate isn't sure she can trust Peter with her heart again, since she believes he's been unfaithful to her, but she's never stopped loving him. And though Domestic Discipline originally played a part in their marriage, their last two years together had them living like polite strangers sharing the same house. Though things are far from perfect between them now, they are temporarily reconciled with one small problem.  After suffering two miscarriages, Kate is afraid to try again.  Afraid she'll fail.  Peter understands, but because they both want children, he doesn't want her using birth control, either.  Unfortunately, Kate doesn't agree.


            Later, when they lay together, sated and happy, he murmured, "I enjoyed that, though I'm still not sure about the flavor additive.  May have to conduct a few more tests before I decide."
            Kate laughed, mostly with relief mixed with a touch of contrition.  The contraceptive sponge she'd purchased was reported to be safe for her partner during oral sex, but could give off a salty flavor.  So to help cover any difference as well as ease with the insertion, she used a flavored personal lubricant.  Though she did her best to destroy all evidence of the sponge packaging, since Peter would not approve, she suspected she lived on borrowed time before he discovered her guilty secret.  However, the potential risk of not using anything outweighed her compunctions.
            She got the majority of her packing done last night, all except for the sponges, since Consuelo insisted on helping her.  That meant she had some serious rearranging to do this morning
            Anxious about getting the 48 boxes secreted in her luggage, so Peter wouldn't find them, Kate returned upstairs after breakfast and discovered she'd need an extra suitcase.  Realizing she had little choice, she called William with her request and, of course, Consuelo marched right up behind him.



Though Kate harbors some guilt about using a contraceptive against Peter's wishes, especially one that he could possibly ingest, she feels he has no right to dictate whether or not she can prevent pregnancyl. However, attempting to keep a secret like that, from a husband who's determined to ensure you take good care of yourself, carries its own risks.  And risks incur casualties.

M/F, DD and a staged production of Kiss Me, Kate.

#MFRWHooks - 12/24/14 - A Simple Misunderstanding - How to ruin an evening #CorbinsBend #DD


It's Book Hooks Wednesday!  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 occurs near the beginning of Chapter Six, Eleanor Benson (Elly) is asleep in intensive care, recovering from surgery after she's been attacked by her husband.  Seated beside her is Gerald Douglas (Jerry) who feels responsible for Elly's condition.  He suspected she would get in trouble if her husband discovered her unapproved absence, and even called to remind her she should come to him if Arthur discovered her disobedience.  However, rather than show up at her home, as his conscience urged, Jerry honored her request to stay away, and now she suffered because of it.  Determined to never let her husband hurt her again, he remains posted at her bedside in ICU when a friend called him.


Twenty minutes later, Jerry’s cell phone vibrated. He checked the display, then stepped out into the hall away from the nurse’s desk so he could talk to Brent privately. He suspected he already knew what his friend was going to say.
“How’s she doing?” Brent asked, his voice kind, but guarded.
“They’ve got her in the ICU right now, and she’ll most likely be here tomorrow, too. She woke briefly and even drank a little water. She recognized me without problem, though her throat’s raw, so she’s having trouble talking. Despite her injuries, I think she’ll come through okay. Right now we’re in a wait and see period.”
“She’s lucky to have you nearby.” Brent paused for a moment before he added, “I called Arthur.”
“And thank you for ruining my evening.”

 

Jerry is determined to protect Elly from her abusive husband, but that means he first needs her to admit she has a problem, and that will be a difficult journey for both of them to take.



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.

Guest Post - 12/23/14 - Rayanna Jamison - The Bishop's First Bride #DD #Spanking

Today Rayanna Jamison has dropped by to discuss her latest release, The Bishop's First Bride, but before we get into the story, I'd like to ask her a question.

Rayanna, could you tell us why or how you decided to become a writer?

I remember writing stories from the time I learned to write my name. When I was a kid, my favorite thing in the world was a fresh notebook. I was the kid told to write a humorous one page story about a toothache and turned in a 12 page saga that had the class rolling on the floor.  I quit writing as a teenager because I thought my stories needed to be more mature, and I wasn’t quite ready to write the same type of stuff I was reading, and although it makes no sense, I thought I should be. So I quit for many years. When I discovered the DD world, I became friends with a few authors. One in particular always told me I could do it. So, I did. It took at least two years of her telling me I could before I had time, and belief in myself, but I’m glad she kept encouraging me, even when I didn’t believe her.


Excerpt:

He crossed to the bed and sat, calling her over to stand before him.
“Are you ready?”
Rosa nodded shyly, and he saw no sense in drawing it out. He positioned her over one knee, so that her top half was on the bed, and her legs were not. With one swift flick of his wrist, her panties were around her knees and her cute little bottom was right where he wanted it.
He rubbed her white flesh, thinking that it wouldn’t be white for long as he intended to make this a well and thorough spanking.
“Why did you ask me to spank you, Rosa?” he asked, and she looked back at him surprised. He guessed she wasn’t expecting to be having a conversation in this position, but Lucas knew it would be the first of many they would have like this. In his opinion, it was one of the best ways to have a conversation.
“I’m waiting,” He told her with a sharp slap to her right bottom cheek.
“Ow, Ow, Okay, Um…Because I felt like I should be punished for spending a lot of money without asking you-even though it wasn’t a rule!” He spanked again just as she got to the end of her explanation, and she shrieked the last part.
He brought his hand down hard twice in rapid succession, and smiled in satisfaction as he watched a pink handprint color her creamy skin.
“And, why did you think you should be punished for something that wasn’t a rule?” He rubbed the skin where the handprint rose up, marveling at how warm it already was after just a few swats. It would be getting much, much warmer before they finished.
“Because I was inconsiderate, and I caused you embarrassment, and I hate disappointing you.”  Rosa mumbled into the bedcovers.
“That’s’ right. That’s why we are going to be making it a rule. So that this does not happen in the future. If it does, there will be clear consequences.” He began to spank again, raining down blows across her fleshy bottom crease. He kept an even tempo, with no regular pattern until he heard her begin to weep softly. He knew it was more from emotion than pain at this point, but it meant she was getting the release she needed.
He paused, and began to speak, occasionally punctuating his words with a sharp swat across the top of her thighs, causing her to gasp in pain.


Blurb:

Rosa Collins was only sixteen when she received a vision telling her of her future husband. Knowing that her husband would be Lucas, the Bishop's son, and future Bishop of Green Valley, both thrilled and terrified her. They were a match made in heaven, she knew, perfect for each other.

But becoming the Bishop's Wife is harder than Rosa anticipated. She struggles to transform herself into the perfect Bishop's Wife that her husband needs.

Lucas misses the real Rosa. Somewhere between getting married, and becoming the future Bishop's wife, his beloved wife has lost part of herself. Lucas knows that a good, old fashioned spanking is exactly what Rosa needs to help her find balance in her unrealistic expectations of what the perfect wife should be. But, try as he might, that balance doesn't come easily for Rosa, and it certainly didn't help that her high school nemesis kept popping up and making trouble.

Will Lucas help her realize that all he wants is for his wife to be happy? Can Rosa pull herself together enough to become the Bishop's First Wife?

#SPeekSunday - 12/21/14 - Deadly Enchantment - Paid, but unwanted, guests #Paranormal #Shapeshifters


An unhappy shape shifter can be a dangerous companion....

For Sneak Peek Sunday authors share six paragraphs from a published work or a WIP (work in progress).


My excerpt for this week is from my 2nd book, Deadly Enchantment.  A shapeshifting wizard romance set in Victorian England published by New Concepts Publishing, 




In this snippet, which occurs in the middle of the second chapter, Dominic Westcroft has returned from London to discover his sister has invited several young women to his home, so he can select a new bride.  What neither he nor his sister suspects, however, is that one of the women is actually his deceased bride's sister.  Tormented by guilt over his wife's tragic and brutal death, Dominic has no intention of ever marrying again.  However, when his show of temper accidentally reveals one of their guests possesses magical abilities she's trying to keep hidden, he invites the ladies join him for dinner, so he can rout her out.

Though he manages to convince the young woman to reveal herself, after dinner, he discovers his sister has not only invited these women into his home without his permission, but she's offered money for a dowry should he choose one lucky woman to be his bride.


            “Do you mean to say that you don’t know anything about the thousand pounds either?”
            “A consolation fee, perhaps?”
            “That would depend upon your perspective, I suppose, sir.  The woman you select will become your wife with a promised thousand pound dowry.  The others, if they agree to certain conditions and stay a minimum of one week, will each get fifty pounds in addition to the original fifty pounds sent once the contracts were signed and received.  For each day a woman elects to stay after the first week, she is to receive another ten pounds.  If you make them leave tomorrow, they get nothing more than the fifty their families have already received.”
            Dominic briefly closed his eyes.  “I’ll kill her.  Sister or no, I’ll wring her neck.”
            Acting instinctively, Serena reached out and placed her hand on his sleeve.  The moment she realized what she was doing, she drew her hand back uncertain what had ever possessed her to touch him.
            He regarded her through eyes deep and dark, then his lips curved into a wry smile.  “I did not speak literally, so you need not fear for my sister’s life.  Unfortunately, I happen to care for her a great deal, so murder is out of the question.”


Though Dominic Westcroft suspects Serena has secrets she's not willing to share, he is determined to uncover the truth behind his young guest's deception, even if it means keeping the other women around as a ruse.

  In this scene, near the beginning of the book, Kyle, a traffic patrol officer, has pulled over a young woman for speeding in a school zone.  Tiffany has been in love with Kyle since she was ten, so this isn't the first time she's faced the strict police officer because of some prank she's pulled.  It's not even the first time she's been caught speeding, which means she's spent a fair amount of time over his knees.  Even so, Kyle is prepared to let her go with a warning and a ticket until she propositions him.  

Angry, partly because he's tempted to accept her bribe, Kyle decides to offer her a choice. She can either spend a night in jail, or place herself over his lap and receive a harsh spanking for her reckless driving.  Though Tiffany agrees to Kyle's punishment, she's scared.  He's never been so strict with her before and she fears this spanking will be unbearable.  After he takes a moment to reassure her of his love, he orders her to lower her panties and raise her skirt.  Once Tiffany tearfully complies, Kyle insists she tell him why she is being punished, but Tiffany feels Kyle is being unfair, so she tries to plead her case.  Cutting her off, Kyle lays out his reasons for this punishment, then grimly sees to the task of following through.  However, he begins to wonder if he hasn't been too harsh when Tiffany stops resisting and crying.


            By the time he reached sixty, her bottom was bright red and she lay totally limp across his left knee.  She wasn't sobbing, crying or making any sound at all.  Worried he'd been too harsh with her, he lightened the intensity of his swats so much, the last nine swats he gave her were little more than pats on her terribly inflamed butt.
            The moment he delivered the sixty-ninth stroke he heard her give a water-logged sob of relief, which filled him with no little amount of relief in return.
            She lay like a wilted flower on his lap with no strength left to move.  Her butt was almost purple it was such a deep red by now and his hand was smarting pretty badly, too.  So he suspected her nerves had shut down.  When they reawakened, she would be in for a lot of pain.  A lot.  Unfortunately, the lotion he liked to use was going to awaken those sleeping nerve endings with the effect of an electric shock.

 

Kyle doesn't like the thought of hurting Tiffany, though he knows he has to if he's to make any progress in curbing her impulsive behavior.  And as a cop, he knows reckless driving can be lethal.
