Cassie spent several hours at The Shelter that afternoon. She hoped Tom had calmed down while she was gone. But he remained quiet as they ate and settled in for the evening. Knowing what he needed, Cassie went to him and took his hand.
“Come with me,” she said heading to their bedroom. Setting on the bed, she began. “Honey, I think you know what we need to clear the air. Let’s get on with it.”
“No girl, I’m not going to spank you. I’m still not happy about all that went on at the resort, but I promised the girls. They explained it well, but I hope you won’t plan any return trips.” Tom turned to leave the room.
Cassie was getting desperate. Why was he being like this? He was almost to the door when she blurted out. “I didn’t wear sunscreen.” Tom turned to look at her. “When we lay by the outside pool, I didn’t put on any sunscreen.”
Finally, it dawned on Tom just what Cassie was asking… offering. “You didn’t wear sunscreen? Girl, you know that’s dangerous. Why didn’t you?”
“I didn’t feel like it,” Cassie answered a little defiantly.
“Then I think I need to check for a sunburn. And make sure you understand how important I think this is.”
Cassie closed her eyes in relief and Tom began unbuttoning her blouse. As he undressed her the rest of the way, she felt as if he were coming back to her. Tom looked her over carefully, checking for any signs of sun damage. As he sat on the edge of the bed he said, “I’m going to spank you for not wearing sunscreen. Do you understand?”
Cassie lowered her eyes and nodded. Tom helped her get situated across his lap and then began with his hand. This was what he needed and she was happy to provide him the opportunity. He couldn’t spank her for going nude at the resort as he really wanted to, Cassie knew, because he’d promised the girls. And he never minded spanking her just for their mutual enjoyment, but all of this had caught him somewhere in the middle and now at last, they were both on the same page.
He only used his hand, but he used it a long time. Cassie was “owwing” and squirming for a while before he stopped and helped her up. He stood with his arms around her, massaging her burning cheeks and quietly he asked, “Have you learned your lesson?”
“Almost,” Cassie whispered. Her hand trailed down his side to gently tug at his belt. Tom hadn’t used his belt in a long time and Cassie missed it. She knew the others on The Landing who were, on rare occasion spanked, hated the belt, but she loved it. She would always think of it as sensuous.
She lay across the bed as Tom stepped to the closet and picked up his oldest leather belt that was soft and pliable. Going to her, he placed a warm steadying hand on her back. At the first sting of the leather against her skin her heart swelled with love for this man who understood her so well. The leather snapped again and Cassie reveled in the sensation. One last stinging swat landed on her sit spot and Tom dropped the belt onto the bed. Then he quickly removed his clothes.
These days much of their lovemaking was gentle but this was one of the wild nights Cassie still craved. Tom was rough and demanding. He claimed her as his own and the joy of being his swept over Cassie in waves. She thought of Bart and Gloria’s offer. Why, why would she ever want anyone else when she had Tom? The idea was completely unimaginable.
Afterwards they lay together, their breathing in sync. Tom pulled her against him and continued to caress her body as they both fell into a deep and soothing sleep.
Cassie is busier than ever with her growing number of grandchildren. And she’s delighted to learn another is on the way, though the news comes from a very unexpected source. Spending time with the grands and working at the shelter home she created takes up much of her time. Even with all this, she manages to sneak in time for a girls’ trip. Both the location of the trip and a chance encounter with an old friend cause Tom’s spanking hand to itch.
When a severely beaten woman shows up at the Shelter, she inadvertently brings Cassie and Sue into a dangerous situation. Will Cassie be around to welcome this new grandchild?
Family on the River continues the heartwarming and often humorous story of Cassie’s life.
Cassie’s Space series
These ten books introduce Cassie. She is my friend and has been since she wandered into my imagination fifty-four years ago. She is married to Tom, the man who loves her in a way that makes my heart nearly burst with happiness for the two of them. He loves her, guides her, protects her and when necessary, spanks the fool out of her. I’ve been told that their adventures are exciting, funny and realistic. Their love-life is passionate and fulfilling – but you’ll hear no graphic details, Cassie is a lady and giving too much detail would not be proper.
Cal’s Law series
Cal and Jenny are one of my younger couple. The spanking in their relationship began mere minutes after they met, and Cal hasn’t let up much since. There relationship has it’s struggles, but these two are meant to be together. They live in the same town as Cassie and Tom and there is a lot of interactions among the character of both series. Jenny is not as reluctant as Cassie to openly discuss her sex life, so you’ll find a little more spice in this series.
On the River series
In this, my latest series, everyone is around – all the characters I’ve grown to love over the years are living on the area of the river that they call The Landing. Their lives, their adventures, even their spankings sometimes intertwine. By this time in the series, I’m just typing as my characters tell me what’s happening. And I love it!
I’ll close today with a review on the latest book. This is one of the finest reviews I’ve ever had.
Starting with the first Cassie book until now, I have never been disappointed or failed to wait expectantly for the next one.
