The men in Corbin's Bend tend to be very strict with their ladies, and Jason Donovan clearly has his hands full with Melissa Toselli. Even so, he has no wish for her to be anywhere else but in his arms.
He glanced at her
towel-covered hair. “Bring me your hairbrush.” A little shiver went noticeably
through her body at this, and he knew what she thought he was going to do with
that hairbrush, but she got up to do it.
He knew he couldn’t
put the spanking off all night. She needed it, but not yet. While she was
getting the brush, he carried a kitchen chair into the center of the living
room. She hovered in the doorway between the rooms like her feet were stuck to
the floor. He crooked his finger to draw her through the door. He watched her
eyes and noticed the moment of decision flit across them. It took another full
four seconds before she was able to force her feet to move. She fidgeted beside
him, a look of surprise cascading over her features as he guided her to sit on
the floor in front of him instead of over his lap as she obviously expected.
Gently unwrapping her
hair, curls tumbled down her back. Gathering the damp locks reverently in his
hands, he pulled them behind her shoulders. He brushed her dark brown hair slowly
starting from the bottom working the tangles out one by one. He worked in small
sections luxuriating in the feel of her under his hands. Taking his time, he
felt Melissa relax, little by little, under his touch. Her eyes closed under
his ministrations. After every single tangle had been worked loose and her hair
was gleaming, Jason moved his hands down to her shoulders kneading the tight
muscles, working out each knot until the tension had disappeared. A small sigh
and then what sounded almost like a purr escaped from her lips. Not wanting the
moment to end, he continued light stroking across her warm skin for several
more minutes.
Finally he took a
deep breath knowing that there was no more putting it off. Giving her one final
squeeze, he helped her to a standing position. “It’s time for your spanking,”
he said.
She nodded, every
last vestige of fight completely gone. Taking a seat in the straight backed chair,
he pulled her to stand between his legs. “Okay, Melissa, tell me why you’re
getting this spanking.”
She didn’t hesitate
in answering. “Because I put myself in danger.”
He nodded in
agreement. “Let’s get started.” Guiding her over his lap, Jason pressed his hand
to the small of Melissa’s back and locked his leg over both of hers,
preemptively, to keep her from kicking.
He rubbed the small
of her back before moving it to her bottom. “I agree, Melissa, you put yourself
in danger tonight.” Raining down spanks across her upturned bottom, scorching
her all over, he directed her, “I want you to list the ways you put yourself in
danger.” Continuing the onslaught of smacks in a random pattern on her bottom,
Jason warmed her up for what was to come.
“I drank too much,”
she answered, grunting.
Thinking about just
how much she had to drink, he pressed his lips into a grim line. “With the
amount you drank tonight, you’re lucky you aren’t in the hospital right now
with alcohol poisoning.” He really laid into her then, causing her to buck
against his legs.
“What else?” He kept a hard but steady
rhythm raining down on her bottom up one side
and down the other.
“I went without
telling anyone where I was going or bringing anyone with me,” she
gritted out between clenched teeth.
He paused rubbing her
bottom for a second. “Do you know how much trouble you could be in right now if
I hadn’t seen your car?” His stomach clenched hard as images of that sleazy man
taking advantage of her paired with her vulnerable form, passed out cold and
slumped against the wall. Emotion bubbled up causing his voice to hitch when he
began to speak again. “Anything could have happened to you. What if you had
been raped or…” He swallowed convulsively before going on. “Or worse.” He
finally got out.
“I guess I didn’t
think about that.” Her voice came out barely in a whisper.
“I hope that after
this, you’ll think about every single decision you ever make, all the way through,
before doing something stupid like you did tonight, ever again.” Squaring his
shoulders,
he laid into her with everything he
had.
She bucked and
twisted, but he held her firm. “I. Can. Not. Bear. To. Lose. You. Do you understand
that?” He punctuated each word with a hard smack.
She sniffled loudly.
“Yes, sir,” she wailed, breaking down in sobs.

Blurb:
Melissa Toselli is a wild child
with a troubled past. Having been on her own since she was fifteen she is
desperate to find the one who will take her into his arms, heart, and control.
She has a tendency to pick all the wrong men for all the wrong reasons.
Unbeknownst to Melissa she has
caught Corbin’s Bend newbie, Jason Donovan’s, attention. The wild spitfire
stirred something inside of him that he could not let go. He could see right
through Melissa’s devil may care attitude to the vulnerable child within who
just needed someone to care for and watch out for her. She was crying out for
some guidance; both the kind that would tuck her in at night and the kind that
would take her over a knee for some much needed discipline and structure.
Can Jason give Melissa what she needs and tame the wild child
that she is? Can he show her the way a true gentleman treats the woman he has
feelings for? Will Melissa turn out to be too much for Jason to handle? Will
she fall back into her old ways? Or will Jason and Melissa find exactly what
their looking for in each other?
