It's Frisky Friday! Yay! And I'm sharing another excerpt from my first 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 begins Chapter 12, Eleanor Benson (Elly) is due to be released from the hospital, after a five day stay. Gerald Douglas (Jerry, who is Corbin Bend's vet) has been at her side almost the whole time, but he had to leave the day before for an emergency when a pet dog was run over by a car. When he called Elly that evening to tell her he was driving back to Denver, she sounded strange on the phone, but insisted he remain in Corbin's Bend, claiming she wanted to go to sleep early. Certain she was not telling him the truth, he pressed a little harder only to have say she had to hang up because a nurse just came in. Convinced something was up, he calls the nurse's station, but they claim Elly is alone and nothing out of the ordinary has happened. He stays home as she wanted, but remains ill at ease. When he arrives at the hospital the next morning, Elly is nearly in a panic, so he promptly assumes control by drawing Elly down on his lap and getting her to tell him what's wrong. However, even Jerry didn't expect Elly's abusive husband, Arthur, to try and get her in the hospital. He tells Brent what he knows and lets him work on being a detective while he addresses Elly's attempted deceit. Due to her compromised health, he decides on five minutes of corner time followed by fifteen minutes of silent confinement.
Her brow furrowed. “May I ask a question
now?”
“Go ahead.”
“What’s silent confinement?”
“Basically, it means you sit and stare at
the wall. No talking, reading or watching TV. You are to remain still and
silent.”
“What happens if a nurse or a doctor
comes in to ask me something?”
“If I can answer their query, I will. If
you need to answer it, look to me first. Once I give a nod, your time out will
be put on a temporary hold and you may speak. When they are gone, the clock
will resume. I’ll keep time.”
“And if I break the timeout?”
“If it’s for anything other than medical
reasons, the first time, you’ll get a warning. Do it again and I’ll start
adding minutes. If I suspect you are deliberately breaking the rules, I’ll
double the length of your punishment.”
She glanced down at her entwined fingers.
“What if I choose not to comply?”
“You sure you want my answer to that?”
A single nod, but she declined to meet
his gaze. She was testing his resolve. Normally, if a woman refused to accept
his correction they were through. Except that would never be the case with
Elly; however, he could make it so uncomfortable for her she’d change her mind.
M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.
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.
