#MFRWHooks - 4/29/15 - A Simple Misunderstanding - Uneasy about leaving #CorbinsBend #Spanking


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.  It's sequel, Past Interference is included in the Love in the Rockies anthology.

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.  Gerald Douglas (Jerry), who feels responsible for Elly's condition, has remained posted at her bedside in ICU when his friend Brent calls to inform him he called Elly's husband to let him know where she was. Though Jerry understands Brent's reasoning, he wants Elly safe. Unfortunately, all night visitors aren't exactly welcome in ICU, and he has his own patients to care for at home. So, he drives back to Corbin's Bend, goes through his nightly check at the clinic and tries to settle down.


His vet duties done for the time being, he greeted Jack, who did his version of the Labrador happy dance when Jerry opened the bedroom door. “Yeah, I know, you only had Sally and Jenny to fawn over you all day. Sorry, bud, but you’re not getting any sympathy from me tonight.”
After Jerry let Jack out and fed him, he took a shower and tried to eat something. The food tasted bland and unappetizing. He considered himself a capable cook, but his nerves remained too jangled, so he suspected nothing would taste good.
He doubted he could sleep; however, the hospital staff requested he not return until after 7 AM, which would make it easier for the night staff to change Elly’s dressings without having to climb over him. Their adult ICU units were meant to hold patients and nurses. Not visitors. It was 10 PM now, so he threw away the food he couldn’t eat, cleaned up his dishes and went back to the clinic one last time to check on the animals. They were all sleeping peacefully.
With nothing left to do for the moment, Jerry returned to his house, watched a little TV, let Jack out for his final romp, and climbed into bed only to toss and turn through the night.

 

Jerry is determined to protect Elly from her abusive husband, but even he needs to get a little sleep from time-to-time.



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.

#SPeekSunday - 4/26/15 - Past Interference - Arthur Benson doesn't give up easily #CorbinsBend #LoveInTheRockies


It's Sneak Peek Sunday!  Yay!  And I'm sharing an excerpt from my new spanking novella in the Corbin's Bend series, Past Interferencethe sequel to A Simple Misunderstanding. Past Interference is part of the Corbin's Bend Valentine's Day collection "Love in the Rockies," and is not being sold separately.

What she needed was the opposite of what she wanted.


In this scene, which occurs near the beginning of Chapter Three, Eleanor Benson (Elly) is six days away from getting married again, and her doubts are eating her alive.  After suffering through a bout of stress-related migraines, she's finally gotten up enough courage to tell her husband-to-be that she's not sure she wants to get married.  Jerry knows Elly is nervous, but believed he'd managed to convince her he is nothing at all like her first husband, Arthur, who abused her.  Unfortunately, when he realizes Elly  still thinks he will turn into an abusive monster once they're married, despite all his gentle reassurances, his hurt pride causes him to snap at her in anger before he returns to his vet clinic next door. Elly realizes she's made a serious mistake, but has no idea how to fix things between them, so she decides to go for a walk, hoping the crisp, winter air will help clear her head. As she tromps through the Colorado snow, she recalls the last time her abusive ex-husband attempted to confront her. Jerry and Brent were with her then, and Jerry promptly went into his protective mode, which Brent, as leader of the community and a former police officer, quickly overrode.


“Jerry...” Brent cautioned softly. “Let me handle this, please.”
Jerry clamped his lips together and curled his hands into fists at his sides until Elly reached for one. He promptly turned to face her, effectively blocking her from Arthur’s view and clasped her hands in his. Giving them a gentle squeeze, he mouthed, “I’m sorry about this.”
“Eleanor, I want to explain —”
“Benson, leave now or you will be hauled back to prison,” Brent warned, his voice reflecting years of experience. He wouldn’t hesitate to follow through, and they all knew it.
“You can’t keep me from my wife. It’s illegal.”
“Not when she’s filed a restraining order against you, it’s not. She doesn’t wish to see or speak with you. Now leave.” 

 

Elly felt surrounded by Jerry's love then, and now she fears she may have ruined the best thing that ever happened to her.



M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.

Blurb:

Valentine's Day in Corbin's Bend.  As Elly Benson readies herself for her second wedding, the doubts and misgivings of any new bride-to-be are exacerbated by the abuse she suffered during her first marriage.

Though she's lived with Jerry Douglas for four months now, and been subject to his discipline more than once, Elly's first husband had been kind and careful with her, too, until the day she vowed to love, honor and obey him.  The lessons she's learned from the past make her doubt she can ever find happiness in the future.

#SatSpanks - 4/25/15 - Mortal Illusions - Restrained for her own protection #Vampires #ParanormalRomance





Show me an angry vampire, and I'll show you an unhappy mortal.

NOTE: 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 1st book, Mortal Illusions. A vampire romance published by New Concepts Publishing, Mortal Illusions is currently the first in a series of 3 books.  Its sequel, Fatal Desire, is currently being revised.

When Claire Daniels discovers Germaine St. Justine is a vampire, she sets a plan in motion to convince him to cure her brother of AIDS.  Though an innocent in sexual relations, Claire is savvy enough to realize the best way to secure Germaine's support is to enter into an intimate relationship with him.  However, having a vampire take you to bed isn't quite the same as sleeping with the boy next door.  There are complications. And Germaine is dominant enough to add a few more Claire hadn't expected.



In this segment, Claire and Phillipa are witnessing the trial of Sybill, a mortal female accused of approaching another group for the purpose of requesting transformation.  A procedure which Germaine's group expressly forbids.  In addition, she was observed relating vampire activities to an outsider, and going so far as to encourage her companion to seek out the mortal constabulary. The vampire responsible for Sybill claims to know nothing about her illicit activities and effectively removes his protection, leaving her fate for Germaine's council to decide.


            Though Claire felt no personal affinity for the woman, she wasn't about to stand by and watch a fellow mortal being publicly tortured.  Especially not for something she had almost done herself.  Claire was debating how she could most effectively put a stop to the proceeding when she felt a gentle hand clasp her elbow.
            “Don't waste any pity on that one,” Phillipa cautioned.  “She's a prime example of poison wrapped in a pretty package.”
            “You condone this?  After everything they've done to you?”  Unable to look away despite herself, Claire watched the woman being dragged naked and swearing over to the lowered velvet platform.  “What are they doing now?” she asked nervously.  “Why are they tying her down?”
            “To protect her from hurting herself.”


Claire is discovering just how different vampires are from mortals. Afraid she's fallen in love with a man who will only break her heart, she's about to learn how dangerous her position actually is.

M/F, Contemporary vampire romance in a society based on D/s.

Frisky Friday - 4/24/15 - Arrested by Love - Kyle insists upon caring for Tiffany #DD #SpankingRomance


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

Another Friday, another excerpt to launch you into your weekend.  For this Frisky Friday I am sharing a bit 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.


The following section occurs about two-thirds through the book, and in it Tiffany isn't feeling the least bit frisky at the moment.  Kyle and Tiffany have been separated for several weeks.  She's refusing to see him after catching him in a lie, and her family has circled the wagons around her.  Recently, Kyle learned Tiffany isn't doing well, so he decides to conduct a stake out near her home when he spots the family leaving the house.  Tiffany is so weak, she can barely stand by herself.  His protective instincts rushing to the fore, Kyle promptly intervenes. His presence seems to rally Tiffany's low spirits, even if it's only for a show of anger, so her father allows it, but informs Kyle if Tiffany prefers to be back home, he will do everything in his power to get her back.  Kyle doesn't expect anything less as he carries Tiffany to his car and drives her to the doctor, where he insists upon carrying her into the doctor's office, but agrees to put her down at the door before they enter.


             She nodded.  Kyle knew Tiffany wanted to argue, but she didn't feel strong enough to do it.  So, picking her up again, he grew inordinately pleased when she put her arms about his neck."
            When he didn't put her down at the door, she scowled at him.  "Kyle.  We had an agreement."
            "I know, but I'm being selfish.  I don't want to let you go, so you're just going to have to humor me for a little bit."  He settled her in one of the waiting room chairs, then said, "Stay here.  I'll sign you in."
            Walking up to the reception desk, he signed the register then leaned in through the window.  "I have Tiffany Morgan with me.  She's here to see Dr. Sloan, and she's not well at all.  If possible, I'd like to have her wait in one of the examining rooms rather than out here.
            The receptionist nodded.  "Let me call Dr. Sloan's assistant, Nancy.  She'll be able to help you."
            Kyle nodded, but remained standing at the desk.  When a nurse stepped out, he saw the name on the chart she held and walked over to her before she could call Tiffany's name.  "Nancy, right?"  When she nodded, he said, "I'm here with Miss Morgan.  Do you have a room where she can lie down and wait for Doctor Sloan?"
            "And you are…?"
            "Kyle Sinclair, her fiancé, and soon to be husband."
            Nancy nodded.  Then glanced over at Tiffany who looked like she was about to fall out of the chair.  "You sure she shouldn't be at the hospital?"
            "Not sure at all.  If Dr. Sloan thinks that's where she should be, I'll take her there."


Tiffany is upset with Kyle, but at the moment she is so ill, even glaring at him takes more energy than she's got, but Kyle refuses to leave her side again, blaming himself for not insisting upon seeing her a lot sooner than he did.

#MFRWHooks - 4/22/15 - A Dom's Dilemma - BDSM has rules that must be obeyed #BDSM #SpankingRomance


Erotic Torture: A pleasure so intense it borders on painful

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

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.



This scene in A Dom's Dilemma occurs near the beginning 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 him touching 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.


            She expected him to punish her for her disobedience, even though she didn't want him to.  She wanted to be hugged and forgiven and told everything was all right.  Jim knew that, yet he held back and regarded her with a frown instead.
            Tears rolling down her cheeks, Kelly asked softly, "Do you wish for me to turn over now, Sir?"
            He gave a slow nod.  "Yes.  I think you should.  That way we can dispense with the unpleasantness before we move on."
            With a moan of pure distress, she shifted and rolled over.  He lifted the blanket so her delightfully round butt was exposed at the perfect angle for disciplining.  He couldn't help but run a hand over the satiny flesh that glowed in the soft lighting like a precious pearl.  Hearing her give out a little sob, he continued caressing her.


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 disobeys. To do less would be inadequate for both of them.

A Dom's Dilemma is available for sale at Blushing Books.  If you'd like to read more, I'm providing a 3 chapter preview on my web site's Spanking Romance page.

Guest Post - 4/21/15 - Punishing Portia by Darling Adams #MastersoftheCastle #BDSM

Today I'm pleased to announce that I'm showcasing Punishing Portia by Darling Adams (aka Renee Rose)



Excerpt:

He led her to Wardrobe, where he asked to see the pet wear. He chose a black satin corset, the kind that fit below the breasts, cinching her waist and pushing up her bare size A’s.
“Put it on her,” he directed, giving her absolutely no possibility for privacy, despite the other people milling about the costume room.
She stepped forward and allowed the costume attendant, a goth-looking girl dressed in Victorian attire, to strip off her red dress, leaving her standing in nothing more than the matching red g-string and her knee-high boots. She licked her lips, pretending not to notice David’s obvious and intense scrutiny of her body.
“Wait,” he said, holding a hand up to the attendant. “Turn around,” he commanded. She tried to steady her breath as she turned a slow circle. She knew her flaws--small breasts, stretch marks on her thighs from the growth spurt at age twelve. Cellulite despite the fact that she had very little fat on her body. “A little thin,” he said critically when she’d completed the turn.
Asshole.
Her ears grew hot, but she kept her eyes lowered to hide her anger.
“Take off the panties.”
Her pussy contracted as if it knew it would soon be the object of scrutiny. She slid off the tiny g-string, hopping a little as she struggled to get the panties over her boots. She had shaved everything bare for the weekend and she turned to give him the full frontal view now, for inspection.
He gave a faint smile. “Very pretty, pet. Thank you for grooming your pussy so nicely for me.”
It wasn’t for you, she thought darkly, but kept her mouth shut.
He nodded to the attendant, who slid the corset around her waist and cinched it tight, tugging at the laces in the back until she could scarcely breathe. She hated the choice--a small-breasted woman like her did not need to have her lack of boobs highlighted by this style of bustier.
“A little less,” David Dean told the attendant. “I don’t want her fainting when I punish her.”
The word punish made her bottom flinch, an involuntary clenching not missed by David. He smirked as she flushed with hot shame. Damn him.
“What else?” the attendant asked after loosening and retying the corset.
“Do you have pasties for her nipples?”
The attendant smiled. “Of course. Here, take a look,” she said, bringing out a box of small nipple ornaments.
He chose a pair of black stars, with open rings in the center for her nipples to poke through. The attendant slid them over her nipples, tacking them in place with a little spirit glue.
She caught sight of herself in a mirror on the wall and stared. She looked every bit like a sultry burlesque dancer. Beautiful, despite her small breasts. Even her bare pussy looked beautiful--not shameful, but sweet, as if it, too went with the costume.
“Anything on the bottom?” the attendance asked.
“Not on. In,” David said, the glimmer of a smile playing over his lips.
“Of course. A butt plug? We have some pretty jewelled ones.”
“A tail. She is my pet.”



Blurb:

When well-known chef and restaurateur David Marone recognizes the food critic who just lambasted him in a review on the charity auction block, he bids an inordinate amount to keep her as his slave for three nights. He remembers the haughty foodie from culinary school seventeen years earlier, and relishes the idea of getting even with her for her mean-spirited review.

Portia Sands hopes the dark and gorgeous Chicago chef who won the bid for her at the Castle charity auction doesn’t know her real identity as the food critic who tore him apart in a review the week before. She finds he hasn’t changed since culinary school--still arrogant, over-confident and domineering. Unfortunately, he has the same effect on her now as he did then: reducing her to a trembling mass of jello.

When he pushes her to her limits, placing her in a cage like a pet, she discovers he knows who she is, and means to exact revenge. She considers calling the Castle safeword to end their time together, but some part of her won’t allow it. Somehow she must survive three nights as his slave and keep her heart in the process.

#SPeekSunday - 4/19/15 - Acting Lessons - Several things need to change #KissMeKate #SpankingRomance


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

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

My submission for this week is from my 5th book, Acting Lessons, loosely based on the story of Kiss Me Kate.

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 early in the first chapter, Peter Thorton, seated comfortably in an agent's office, is attempting to convince his wife, Kate, to give their marriage a second chance by signing her to appear with him in a College Summer Stock production of "Kiss Me Kate."  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.

Peter realizes he made a mistake in letting Kate do as she pleased, so he's determined to rectify matters immediately by informing his famous wife that if she keeps acting like a brat, he will turn her over his knee. Since Kate doesn't believe him, she dares him to try it.  He doesn't hesitate, And before she gets another word out, Kate finds herself stomach down across her husband's knees.  Furious and humiliated by both her position and Peter's warning swat, she demands her agent call the police while Peter suggests the agent give them some time alone.  Furious, Kate makes the mistake of challenging her husband, and he lets her know right away what he will and will not tolerate by proving to her his threats are no longer idle.  The spanking provides an emotional release for Kate, and she ends up crying in Peter's arms. Once she gets herself under control, Kate attempts to apologize, but Peter cuts her off with a kiss then informs her he wants them to have dinner together. Kate informs him she has a previous engagement she is not willing to cancel.


            He frowned, not saying anything, until Kate feared he'd insist, or flip her back over his knee for being stubborn, when he said, "What time is your class?
            "Eight o'clock.  Why?"
            "Why?" he asked, his surprise clear.  At her slight nod, he added, "Because I find it difficult to schedule around something if I don't know when it's taking place.  Go to your class; I'll pick you up afterward."
            She let out a soft sigh.  "Why tonight?" she complained, knowing she sounded like a thwarted child.
            "Because we need to get some specifics out of the way.  I don't enjoy quarreling with you, Katie, but I absolutely refuse to let you play the brat any longer, so several things are going to need to change between us.  That means coming to a new working arrangement we can both accept."
            When she glared at him, he regarded her with one arched eyebrow, and further words weren't necessary.  She recognized the familiar expression to mean, "You're already on my lap, so don't think I won't flip you over on your stomach if you continue to thwart me on this."



Kate pushed, so Peter pulled.  Temporarily reconciled, Kate has to decide whether to give into his wishes or stand firm so he doesn't think she's lost her backbone.
