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.
Pouting, Elly pressed her head against his shoulder again. “Do I really
need to be examined by a doctor?”
His chest moved, and she suspected her question had wrung a chuckle out
of him, but no sound emerged until he said, “Yes. You really do.”
Drawing back an inch, she peeked up at him again. “What if I refuse?”
“Then I’ll give you another spanking. See how that works?”
He wore a button down shirt, and the small ivory circles beckoned her
fingers. “You’re mean.”
“I’m horrible. Totally unreasonable and cruel to boot, but I will still
spank you if you need to be punished, Elly. Never fear.”
“Your thongy-thing didn’t hurt that much.”
“Because I didn’t want it to. Now, tell me how you feel after suffering
through your first official chastisement from me.”
Amazingly, all trace of her headache was gone. “Relieved.”
“That it’s over, or that it wasn’t as bad as you feared?”
“Both. I feel lighter, freer. Like a huge weight has been lifted off my
shoulders.”
“Good. I always want you to come out of a punishment in a better state
of mind and being, not worse. Never worse.”
“Arthur always wanted me to suffer. In fact, if I wasn’t moaning in
abject misery after he’d punished me, he thought he hadn’t done his job
properly.”
Jerry kissed her again. “Though there’s a lot I could say about your
former husband, I won’t. I know it’s only natural for you to compare us, Elly,
but please bear in mind any punishments I administer are intended to address a
wrong, so the situation can be made right between us. They are meant to keep
you safe, happy and healthy, not change you as a person.”
“Thank you.” Arthur had often insisted she thank him after a
punishment, but she’d never been grateful. However, she acknowledged a huge
obligation along with an immense sense of gratitude to Jerry for caring enough
to keep her safe. Not once did he accuse her of being inept or stupid. Stubborn,
maybe, but at times she was. He focused his attention on changing her attitude,
not her image. A fine distinction perhaps, yet an important one.
M/F Domestic Discipline in Colorado.
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.

Great snippet! I loved this book it shows how vast the difference is between abuse and loving domestic discipline.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn, I absolutely loved this book and this is a wonderful snippet. The beginning of Elly's realisation that not all men are like her ex.
