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," that has been revised, re-edited and given a new cover. Oh, and should I mention that it's also FREE for a limited time?
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 after reminding her she might be pregnant, Kyle makes things worse by threatening her with a spanking if she doesn't behave more responsibly. Her pride wounded by the suspicion she doesn't matter to Kyle as much as the possible fetus in her womb, Tiffany reacts badly to his show of dominance.
Sighing,
Kyle decided to give her a few minutes to calm down. He could hear her sobbing,
and a part of him felt guilty for punishing her small temper tantrum after
she'd been so ill. He had
tempered his strokes, making sure she'd feel the slap of his palm without it really hurting her. As punishment, it
had been mild, though he doubted she viewed it that way.
After
he'd poured a bowl of cereal and a glass of juice for her, he went and knocked
on the bedroom door. "Tiffany?"
"Go
away," she shouted, sounding more like a petulant child than a twenty-one-year-old
woman.
"No.
I'm staying." He tried the door handle. It was locked, so he took three more deep breaths. She
had locked him out of his own bedroom. All right, their bedroom, but still...
"Tiffany,
I'm going to give you until the count of three to unlock this door. If you
refuse to do it by then, I will break it down, and you will get twenty more
much harder swats than the ones I gave you in the kitchen. Do you understand
me?"
"Just go away," she repeated on a
sob. "I don't want to talk to you."
"Maybe
not, but you are going to, young lady. And I'm not leaving this door until
you've unlocked it. Furthermore, I'm going to call someone in to remove all the
locks from the doors in this apartment, since I seem to be living with a cranky
little girl who uses them inappropriately.
You have until three, Tiffany. One."
"You
can't threaten to solve every problem and issue we have by turning me over your
knee."
"Actually, it's worked pretty well in
the past. And I don't believe in fixing things that don't appear to be broken." He heard the door being
unlocked but waited to let her settle herself before he entered.
