Snippet
from Yuletide Yielding by Ashe Barker
He paused, eyed her with a curious blend of exasperation and
something else also. Something softer, warmer, more compassionate. “You did not
hope to wed me yourself, did you? You must realise that is impossible.”
“I know that. I have never said—”
“But you have wanted it? Wished it could be so?”
“Perhaps,” she whispered. “But I am not a fool. I am a thrall.
Vikings do not marry thralls.”
“They do, on occasion. But I am not merely a Viking. My brother is
the jarl. I have responsibilities. Even so, I do not wish to hurt you, and I
would prefer that you could be content with what we have.”
But even if you are not,
it is happening anyway. The words lay unspoken between them.
His expression hardened. “I have said all I wish to on this
matter. We will not speak of it further.”
“Very well.” Resigned to her situation since she could not alter
it, and to her coming punishment, Lynet stared at her bare toes. “Do you want
me to take off my clothes?” Apart from the blanket and Stian’s cloak, she wore
only her thin, rough woollen night smock.
“I do. Then you may arrange yourself across my lap.” Stian started
to unfasten the leather belt around his waist.
“You would beat me with your belt?” Lynet recoiled. “I had thought
you meant just to spank me.”
“Disobedience alone would have merited a spanking. Your dishonesty
requires something a little sterner by way of correction. So, you will undress
then come here, Lynet, and accept your punishment.”
