WIP: Work in progress. WIP it up Wednesday is a hop where writers share portions of the project they're working on with readers. I really like the idea because it allows me to share something that's still in the creative stage as well as work behind the scenes as a prompt to keep me writing. However, today I've decided to also share from my first spanking novel "Arrested by Love"
In Arrested by Love, Kyle and Tiffany have been having problems, but they are attempting a reconciliation after Kyle basically kidnapped her from her home, with her father's grudging approval, and taken her to see a doctor. Tiffany had become very ill during their separation and Kyle is determined to take care of her in every way she needs. Though Tiffany isn't a true submissive, she is trying to smooth things over with Kyle, so she's working hard to keep her bratty tendencies at bay. However, there's only so much a girl can do, and when Kyle informs her he doesn't want her to drink coffee because she might be pregnant, she reacts badly.
"So, is that all I am to you? A baby machine?"
He shook his head.
"Well, honey, if that were true, I hate to say it, but I think
you're a really bad one. Your father
told me you'd been drinking and taking sleeping pills."
Tiffany crossed her arms over her chest. "I couldn't sleep. All right?
Plus, taking pills and trying a toddy at night are often-used remedies
for insomnia."
"So is taking a walk and drinking warm milk, but I
don't believe you even tried those. Did
you? And pill popping with liquor is not
at all good if you're pregnant."
"I'm beginning to think this possible baby I'm
carrying is more important to you than I am.
I'm not even sure I'm pregnant, so why should I bend over backwards to
change my life for something that might not even be."
Kyle leaned back against the counter and regarded her
carefully. "You're being a selfish
brat Tiffany. Why are you only thinking
of yourself, when you should be thinking of our unborn child."
With a cry of rage, Tiffany leapt to her feet and
slapped him.
Putting his hands firmly on her shoulders, Kyle took
three deep breaths to bring his anger back under control. She was upset and filled with raging hormones
so he needed to make allowances for her.
Lowering his hands, he said, "I suggest you sit back down in that
chair before I decide to make that particular activity just a bit more difficult
for you."

I sense trouble ahead... and he's got a point and I'm sure he's dying to prove it ;) Kyle is the voice of reason, though, and you gotta love him for that!
