He came to her rescue when she needed him most, almost to lose her when she disobeyed him.
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 a selection from my fourth spanking book, A Simple Misunderstanding, a Corbin's Bend novel. It's sequel, Past Interference is due out February 1st in the Love in the Rockies collection.
In this scene, which occurs in the last third of the book, Eleanor Benson (Elly) has moved in with Gerald Douglas (Jerry) after she is released from the hospital, still recovering from injuries she received from her husband. Jerry insists she stay close to the house and not take her dog walking in the park on the first day she's home. However, when an older neighbor calls to her from the dog park, Elly disobeys Jerry's instructions and takes their two dogs with her, unaware her abusive husband is lying in wait for her.
When her actions nearly get her killed, Elly finally accepts her only option is to divorce her husband, but after signing the papers, she realizes Jerry is still angry over her disobedience.
Frustrated by the distance growing between them, Elly realizes unless she confronts him, Jerry will continue to treat her like an invalid, despite his growing anger. Still, when push comes to shove, and Jerry accepts her challenge, Elly begins to have second thoughts. Covering her unease with bravado, she demands to know what makes him think she's asking to be spanked. Despite her reticence to submit, Jerry recognizes Elly's show of defiant disobedience as a cry for him to take action, so he remains adamant without force. Unfortunately, what Elly really wants is for Jerry to take the decision away from her, so her submission is no longer her choice, except that's not how Jerry prefers to do things, but he does when Elly leaves him no choice. So, over his knee she went, and he has instructions he expects her to follow as well, but Jerry also wants her to know that his punishment was being given with love.
Praise? He praised her for accepting a punishment? Praise was a foreign
concept to Arthur. Elly’s eyes started to water, but not due to any pain or
discomfort from her backside. The man applying the slipper wasn’t hurting
her—physically. “I will not disobey Jerry.”
“Good. Go ahead and cry if you want, Elly. It’s all right. I have you. Seven.”
“I’m sorry,” she blurted out. “I know I’ve done nothing but give you
grief.”
“Not true; however, I still want you to say the words.”
“I will not disobey Jerry.”
“Good girl. Go on, sweetie. Let loose all those emotions you’ve been
suppressing. Eight.”
Even as she questioned the advisability of her outburst, tears began
falling with steady regularity. “I didn’t head to the park because I wanted to
disobey you.”
“Actually, I think you did. I suspect you resented the restrictions I
placed on you, so you decided to ignore them, but that’s the reason we’re here.
Don’t worry, Elly, we’ll get through this and be better for our trouble in the
end. Now, say the words, sweetheart.”
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.

Jerry is going to make sure she remembers this lesson and I can understand where he's coming from. He's worried about her and needs to be able to trust her. I wonder if she'll learn her lesson? Great snippet! :)
