His management style might not be HR approved, but he was
the boss, so, he set the rules.
Excerpt:
Though Robert Peterson isn't pleased Pam Weston tried to run away from him, after tracking her down to her former apartment, he has decided it is past time he stakes his claim on his feisty executive assistant.
She stared at him.
"That's the first time you said you loved me."
His eyes sparkled as
he leaned closer. "Then I've been terribly remiss in my duties and shall
amend my ways forthwith. And, if I may ask, what are your feelings for
me?"
"I guess you're
growing on me. I mean, you already possess an ego the size of Texas, so I
wouldn't want to do anything to inflate it."
He grinned.
"Heaven forbid you should ever do that." He put his hands on her
waist and lifted her off his lap. "All right, we'll begin a new leaf, here
and now. So, I want you to stand here" — he
pointed to a spot directly before him
— "and
take off all your clothes."
Pam's heart skipped a
beat. "You want me to strip? Why?"
"Because I
intend to spank you to prove my point, and I want you naked. Any more
questions?"
"But—"
He placed a finger
against her lips. "No more arguments. Just do as I ask, please."
Pam regarded the man seated before her,
the man she loved more than anyone else in the world, with severe trepidation.
"Why?"
Rising smoothly to
his feet, he bent down and touched his mouth to hers. The kiss was hard, yet
soft, firm, yet gentle, and gave her no quarter. "Would you rather I
undressed you?"
Her breath caught in
her throat. Having him take charge made it far less likely she'd do anything
wrong. "Yes, please."
"As you
wish." He unfastened her shorts first, then slid them down her legs to her
feet, where he ordered her to step out of them. Rising, he folded them neatly
and set them on the couch. Next came her top, which he raised over her head and
laid on her bottoms. At least she'd thought far enough ahead to wear matching
bra and panties.
"Cute," he
said, plucking at the pink bow nestled between her breasts. "Very cute,
indeed, but it still has to come off."
She let out a slight
groan but didn't protest as he removed her bra, folded it, and added it to the
pile.
Then he stepped
closer and placed his hands at her waist. "You have a beautiful body, Pam.
I never want you to be ashamed of it or reluctant to share your nakedness with
me. I love to stroke your skin, and caress the places only I have the privilege
of seeing and touching."
"Besides
me," she added softly.
"Hmm. Perhaps,
when you bathe or shower, I'll permit it, but otherwise this gorgeous body
belongs to me."
Pam's eyes opened
wide. "Are you serious?"
"Very much so.
Why, is that a problem for you?"
"A little. It is
my body, after all."
"Yes, but I'm
laying claim to it tonight, at least as far as your pain and pleasure go."
"What does that
mean exactly?"
"That I don't
want you touching what I consider mine without permission."
Growing moist from
his words alone, Pam swallowed audibly. "I need to ask your permission
to—touch myself?" Her voice sounded weak and breathy to her ears.
"You most
assuredly do." He cupped his hand between her legs. "I am claiming
this part of your body, here and now. As well as here," he said, sliding
his hands up to cup her breasts. "And here." His arms encircled her
as his palms hugged her behind and drew her even closer." Pam groaned,
unsure how she felt about giving him so much control and yet relishing in his
possessiveness.
"So, what
happens if I disobey you and bring myself to orgasm?"
He tilted his head.
"What do you think will happen?"
"I'll get
spanked?"
"Among other
things. You'll unquestionably get punished for trespassing."
"Trespassing?"
she asked as his fingers tugged at her panties to remove them.
"That means
encroaching on someone else's property. Step."
Blurb:
Pam Weston didn't have many choices as far as employment
went. Her prison sentence saw to that. With limited secretarial skills, and an
even more limited budget, she never considered herself executive material. So,
when she was ordered to report to the CEO of her company as his new personal
assistant, she fully expected to be checking out the "Help Wanted"
section of the paper before the day was over.
Robert Peterson knew his management style was not HR
approved, but he believed in using the stick as well as the carrot. Employing
the tenets of domestic discipline, he helped mold his personal assistants into
confident women who recognized their own self-worth. Even so, his unorthodox
methods were only one of the reasons many considered the position of his
assistant to be a revolving door. To Rob's mind, Pamela Weston was perfect for
his purposes, though given her past, he expected convincing her to agree to his
program would be a challenge.

About the Author:
Lessons in Love is Kathryn R.
Blake's sixth novel with Blushing Books, and fifth spanking romance where
Domestic Discipline is primary to the plot.
Although Kathryn is relatively new to the spanking romance market, she
is not new to stories where the hero spanks the heroine. In fact, most of her novels have some sort of
spanking in them. However, even in
Kathryn's novels where the hero firmly believes in using spanking as a
deterrent, he has no desire to cause the heroine injury and takes no delight in
hurting the woman of his heart. In fact,
sometimes he finds it extremely difficult to follow through on his threats or
promises.
To date, all of her heroes are
dominant, alpha males who are extremely protective of the women they love. However, part of that protectiveness includes
the need for a certain amount of control.
They do not suffer defiance or disobedience lightly. Even so, these men
aren't infallible, and they do make mistakes, but love and respect will always
triumph in the end.
Kathryn has been a member of RWA
since the early 1980s and joined several local and special interest chapters.
Besides writing, Kathryn enjoys traveling, reading, attending the theatre, and
is a passionate lover of animals, so much so that in 2015 a stray cat adopted
her. The stray now sleeps in Kathryn's bed. She has also recently taken up the expensive
hobby of making and selling jewelry.
