Bella Bryce is here today to talk about her latest Waldorf Manor release "Unfailing Love." Though each book can stand alone, the characters are repeating from book to book. If you haven't heard of Bella's Waldorf Manor series, they are sweet contemporary domestic discipline stories. Her books contain romance, spanking, discipline and sensual build-up, but no sex.
Excerpt:
Ana didn’t want to apologise
again. It wouldn’t do the situation
justice. He had been very patient for
the last six weeks.
“It’s time you become accountable to
me, Anabelle. Properly
accountable.” Brayden looked directly
into her eyes. He would have kissed her
if it weren’t completely inappropriate timing.
The way she breathed inward was enough of a response to indicate her
compliance. She wanted nothing more than
to get herself over Brayden’s twenty-nine year old tailored suit trousers and
get smacked for misbehaving. “Come
here.” He broke their eye contact as he
walked toward the Chesterfield sofa. She
felt wobbly on her legs again as she followed him to the seating area in front
of the fireplace. “We’ve not done this
before but I assure you it is exactly what it seems like it’s going to be.”
Anabelle’s face burned with
embarrassment as Brayden took one of her hands.
She never intended to be rude or distracted, although her wide-eyed
anticipatory manner suggested otherwise.
“Brayden.”
“Sir.”
“Sir,” Ana repeated and her chest
stung delightfully at his quick reprimand.
She could almost feel her heart bursting with joyous confetti. His leading was intoxicating.
“What is it?” He didn’t want it to become habit that
Anabelle started conversation right as she was to be put across his knee, but
he also knew she must be feeling some trepidation at the unfamiliarity of the
moment.
“Nothing, Sir,” she replied,
quietly. She had absolutely nothing to
say - she was just incredibly nervous.
Brayden
pulled her forward and across his lap.
It happened a lot faster than she imagined, with intermittent waves of
excitement and dread rolling through her.
She found herself facing the rug with only Brayden’s shiny black shoes
and tailored trousers in her line of sight.
Another mixture of anxiety and dread swirled into a cocktail of one
gigantic “finally!!”
He removed Anabelle’s red patent
leather high-heeled shoes and lined them up neatly on the floor beside the
Chesterfield, which caused her racing heart to slow to a methodical thud. Was shoe removing some sort of pre-punishment
ritual?
“A proper smacked bottom requires
knickers down,” Brayden stated, factually, as he pulled her red fitted dress up
onto her back. He cleared his throat
when her red satin knickers were lowered to the backs of her knees. He was insanely attracted to Anabelle Greyson
but punishment was punishment and he refused to allow his mind to travel to a
place that would distract it. This was
not a time for admiration.
Ana could hardly believe she was
lying across Brayden’s lap in such a state.
It was far more humiliating in real life than in fantasy. Even when she imagined the scene she didn’t
really know what to expect. She’d never
had a smacking in her entire life. “This
is what happens from now on in our relationship when there is a breech of
behaviour, trust, or a wilful disregard for the rules you’ve agreed to. I want you to take in every detail of this
experience so you know exactly what to expect the next time you report to my study.”
“Yes, Sir.” Her nervous eyes
searched the Persian rug beneath his feet.
Brayden pulled his arm back and let
the first whack hit her backside with force far beyond what she expected. It was supposed to be painful and memorable
enough to dissuade repetition of the behaviour that earned it. The dreadfully unpleasant smack of his palm
on her skin brought instant remorse and it wasn’t sensual at all. It bloody hurt. The following smacks were slow in
rhythm. His hand was heavy and
determined as it came down onto Anabelle’s exposed and tender flesh in
succession. He decided he wasn’t going
to count, either. Anabelle was a big
girl and she didn’t need to have a limit to how many harmless swats her
disobedient bottom needed. It wasn’t
terribly different in his mind, disciplining his future wife when compared with
disciplining his daughter. He was a
disciplinarian to both of them; the only difference was age. Brayden believed a spanking was the great
equaliser - is doesn’t favour anything or anyone. Every woman is reduced to the state of a
contrite and remorseful girl through the process. The goal is the same regardless of age -
bring a marked change in behaviour.
“I
want you to understand,” he said, as his heavy hand continued laying into her
backside, “this is what it means to be accountable to me, Anabelle.”
“Yes,
Sir,” her voice was emotional. She felt
more connected to Brayden in that moment than in the six weeks of deep and
revealing conversations. They kept no
secrets from each other and Brayden was right; work was definitely the most
delicate subject between them. He knew
it was a struggle for Ana to separate her career identity from every other part
of her life. It was no surprise to him
that the very subject would be the cause for her introduction to
discipline.
Brayden
quickened the tempo of his hand and put slightly more force behind hit, drawing
an immediate reaction of the breaking of Ana’s whimpering into audible
tears. There it was. Precisely what he’d been waiting for. Remorse.
He heard Ana’s breathing elongate between cries even as she tried to
control it. She was crying because the
guilt for her actions rightfully lined up with her punishment and it hurt. “Right,” he declared, after the last whack. In place of the smacking Ana’s tears were now
the only sound filling the study. She
looked at the floor through blurry vision like a sorry schoolgirl. Unsure of what was to follow her first
priority was to not be a dripping mess of tears and running mascara. Mental note for next time - wear
waterproof. She used one hand to quickly
wipe her eyes as Brayden replaced her red knickers over her matching
bottom. It was only the texture of skin
versus satin that gave away the difference between the two. He pulled her dress back down where it
belonged and told her to stand up. Ana
pushed herself up from his lap and loosely clasped her hands together. Well.
There it was. The first smacked
bottom.
Brayden
stood up from the sofa and signalled with his index finger for her to
follow. “After punishment you will face
the wall. Put your hands behind your
back, please.” He positioned her to face
the same wall that Alice faced when she was punished. Ana hadn’t done that since she was about five
years old. “I will tell you when to come
out.”
Blurb:
Love is
a decision. It isn’t a fleeting emotion, and it stands firm when everything
else is shaken. Brayden James has learned through raising his adopted daughter,
Alice, that discipline is only part of what is required to establish stability.
When a devastating incident causes Alice to see the reality of her prior
circumstances, she is affirmed once again in her life at Waldorf. Brayden’s
healing love is exactly what she needs, and his blossoming relationship with
Anabelle Grayson mirrors that in its purest form. Brayden and Ana are now
exploring the facets of their courtship between the deeply desired
accountability system of domestic discipline and some rather amusing scenarios.
The
fifth book in the series turns particular attention to Waldorf and where it all
began, giving the reader a close-up look at the man who thought he lost
everything he loved when his parents died. With glimpses at the supporting cast
of the series, we learn how the boundaries of marriage are built when love is
at the heart of relationships. What began as Alice’s story of forgiveness and
healing has turned an entire social circle to focus on their need for
unmovable, sacrificial and unfailing love.
