Saturday Spankings - The final Secret

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. Annie has told Cassie and Sue the story of all she went through at the tender age of fifteen. In today’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie realized she can’t run away. She needs her friends and especially her husband. She agrees to come home but there is one more secret to be revealed. 

“Did you ever tell your mother or father about the rape?”

“No, I tried to tell my mother one more time, but she said, ‘Augusta, that’s ‘nasty talk.’ I don’t want to hear another word!’ By the time Daddy got home, I was pretending it had never happened. I was so happy to have him back. I could be Annie again. Daddy always called me Annie, but he was the only one. Mother always called me Augusta. I hate that name!”

Cassie was still confused. “But why did you say you murdered someone? You didn’t! Even if the baby died, you didn’t kill it. If… if there were to be charges assuming the baby died, well, I mean with your reputation… a good lawyer can explain you were fifteen and barely in your right mind at the time.”

“But Andy and Lily will still know what I did and they’ll hate me!” Annie began sobbing again.

“They will realize the desperate situation you were in and love you just as much! Won’t you call Andy? Please!” Cassie begged.

“No! I… I can’t tonight. I’m exhausted.”

“Annie, you have no choice. You have to talk to him! He could never hate you no matter what you’ve done. And right now, he’s going out if his mind with worry. Fine, you can wait until tomorrow, but I’m calling Tom. I promised him I’d never run off again and your disappearing act caused me to do just that.”

“Could you just text him—on my spare phone? Just let me have one more night,” Annie pleaded. “I do realize I can’t run away. I can’t survive without Andy and you all. I didn’t last twenty-four hours. I’ll go home with you tomorrow. But I need one more night.”

Reluctantly, Cassie nodded.

“Fine,” Sue growled. “But if you’re thinking about sneaking out on us tonight, I swear I’ll hunt you down and it won’t be pretty!”

“And I’ll help her,” Cassie added.

Annie nodded. “I just want to sleep,” she told them. “With you two here I think I can.”

~~

They all slept until nearly nine the next morning. Cassie got ready quickly and told them, “Call room service and get us some breakfast. Annie, you’re going to eat. I’m going to the lobby and call Tom.”

Cassie wasn’t gone too long. When she came back to them, she seemed completely shaken.

Annie was frightened, “What is it? Is Andy all right?” she asked.

“He’s fine,” Cassie answered automatically, but said no more.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost,” Sue told her. “What the hell’s going on?” 

Cassie took Annie’s hand and gently pulled her to sit beside her on the bed.

“I talked to Tom,” she began, “they got hold of the man who called asking for you. It wasn’t the police, it was a private detective.” She paused, shaking her head in near disbelief.

“Annie, the baby didn’t die.

“You’re a mother. And a grandmother. And a great-grandmother. And they all want to meet you.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

From steamy sex to both playful and painful spankings, the people on the river continue to live and love and marvel at all that are learning.

Saturday Spankings - The rest of the story

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In our last snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie told her friends of her rape and having later delivered the her baby all on her own. Cassie and Sue listened in horror to all Annie had been through, but there was more story to tell.

“I wrapped her in a towel and put the bloody towels and afterbirth in a grocery bag. I had to get rid of them. I had to get rid of everything. I found one of my grandmother’s big old purses upstairs and I put the baby in there. She didn’t make a sound. I was in so much pain I don’t even know how I got down the steps and out of the house. I knew I couldn’t walk far, but there was a church just down the block and I made it that far. Churches were always open back in those days, remember, and I went in and took the baby to the front of the church and laid her on the first pew. She was so still and quiet. I think she was already dead. And then I left.”

“You left? You didn’t, I… I mean you didn’t kill the baby?” Sue exclaimed, releasing the breath she was holding.

“Yes!” Annie wailed. “I killed her. I mean, not with my bare hands, but she died in my care… or lack of care. It was my fault. The police have made the connection now. A policeman called the house looking for me! I’m going to jail. I’ll be taken from Andy. Maybe I’d be better off dead. I don’t know what’s worse, going to jail or having Andy and Lily know what I did!” She was sobbing now and seemed completely drained.

“Annie!” Cassie cried. “You don’t even know for sure that the baby died. Was it in the paper or on the news or anything?”

“I know she died. I used to have a daydream that she was found and adopted by a good family. But she was just too little to live. And that old stone church was cold even in the summer. I know she was found too late to save her.

“And why else would the police be looking for me now? They wouldn’t still be looking if the baby had lived. Lily answered what she thought was a wrong number a few months ago. They were asking for me by my birth name. I’d never been so frightened. I lied and said I’d never heard the name. I’m guessing they weren’t calling to give me a ‘mother of the year award’!” Annie said bitterly.

“I’m afraid she wasn’t found for several days. I went back to my grandmother’s house and slept for nearly twenty-four hours. When I woke, I gathered my things, snuck back out into the dark and took a bus home. All I told Mother about my summer was that Grandmother needed someone to live-in and care for her.

Dennis was still there when I got back. I didn’t wait for him to sneak into my room. I went to his room my first night back…with a butcher knife.”

Cassie closed her eyes again. Dear Lord, here’s the murder!

“He woke when he felt that blade against his private parts. Suddenly I was in control and he was the scared one. He was blubbering and begging me not to hurt him. I told him if he wasn’t gone from our home—permanently—by noon the next day, that I would come back while he slept and cut it clean off. And the next day he was gone.”

“Good lord Annie, I never realized what a badass you really are,” Sue told her.

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

Saturday Spankings - Annie's story

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie has a hard story to tell her friends. Going back to when she was fifteen, she tells of the year her father lived overseas and her mother had invited her stepbrother to live with them. Soon after he came, he secretly began molesting Annie.

Everyone was quiet as Annie studied her hands. “I’ll spare you the graphic details, but he eventually graduated to rape. I was a virgin and the birds and the bees talk had been very minimal in our home. I was shocked and terrified. And I had no one to turn to for answers as to what was going on.

“I’m not sure how long it was before I realized I was pregnant. That’s when I started actually barricading my door. That made him really mad and he started lying to my mother about me, telling her he’d caught me with boys doing all manner of things I’d never even have thought to do. I pretty much lived in my room for months. I guess I was being punished, but it suited me fine. I never got very big and I was able to hide the pregnancy.”

Cassie and Sue exchanged looks of pure sadness. Cassie leaned over and hugged her tightly. “Annie I can’t imagine how you stood it. And you were so sheltered. How did you even find someone who performed abortions back then?”

“I didn’t have an abortion,” Annie said quietly. “I’m not even sure I knew there were such things back then. As soon as school was out, I begged my mother to let me stay with my grandmother for the summer. She lived in Philadelphia. Mother told me yes, since I had caused so much trouble at home.” Annie’s face hardened. “I’d barely been out of my room for months. I hadn’t caused her a damn bit of trouble. I wasn’t sure my grandmother could help or if she would, but it couldn’t be worse.

“My grandmother was in the beginning stages of dementia, maybe Alzheimer’s or hardening of the arteries or something. She did recognize me, but she soon forgot about me being there. I met some of her friends who stopped by every day. They helped her out. One brought groceries to her and another wrote her checks for the bills. Actually, it was a great place to hide. I moved upstairs and then heard her tell her friends I’d gone home. I’d go down and visit with her at night, straighten up a bit and sometimes cook for her. Then I’d tell her I was going home and go back upstairs. For days she would tell her friends, ‘My granddaughter came to visit, but she went home.’ And they believed her.

“I was content, well as content as possible under the circumstances. I tried to convince myself life could go on like that forever. I realized what a lie that was the day my water broke.”

“Oh, Annie…” Cassie cried, taking her arm. Sue leaned forward, laying her hand on Annie’s foot just to be connected.

Annie closed her eyes as if she couldn’t go on. “When the memory forces its way into my mind,” she said, “I can’t tell you which comes back the strongest—the bone-crushing pain or the absolute terror of the next few hours.”

Silence filled the hotel room as the women sat holding on to one another. When Annie continued, her voice was hardly above a whisper. “I had the baby in my grandmother’s bathtub. I couldn’t even scream. I didn’t want the neighbors to hear me. I was sure the baby was dead. I was surprised I’d lived through such an ordeal, surely an infant couldn’t. I’d read exactly one book from my high school library, on childbirth. I knew two things, tie off the cord and clear the mouth. And that’s what I did. Then she cried.”

Cassie closed her eyes. She didn’t want to hear anymore. Annie had been a mere child, a terrified one. Cassie fought the urge to cover her ears. She took a quick glance at Sue who looked as horrified and sick as she felt. To both it seemed they had taken some of the pain and terror into themselves.

In a voice that sounded strange to Cassie’s ears, Sue asked, “What did you do then?” Cassie was sure neither of them wanted to hear the answer.

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.

Saturday Spankings - Cassie and Sue to the Rescue

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. We’re still trying to find out what’s going on with Annie in this snippet from Secrets on the River. Cassie and Sue get the address where she is staying and despite a broken wrist and broken ankle, they left a quick note and head out to help their friend.

When they finally stood in front of Annie door, Cassie took a deep breath and knocked. When there was no answer, she knocked again calling, “Annie, it’s us. Open up.”

When there was still no answer, Sue took over. Pounding with the side of her fist, Sue called, “Open this damn door or when we do get in there I’m going to kick your butt. And I have to pee!” she shouted even louder.

The door opened and Annie stepped back to let them in, her hand flying to her mouth in surprise as they entered. “I forgot! How could I have forgotten that you two are broken? I should never have asked you to come! I’m so sorry.”

Sue wheeled the knee scooter into the bathroom. “You need help?” Cassie asked.

“No, I got it. You just start kicking Annie’s butt. Then I’ll take my turn.”

Cassie grabbed Annie in a tight hug to stop the rest of her protest. “Thank God you’re all right!” she cried. “Don’t worry about us, we’re fine. But you scared the crap out of everyone. What in the world is going on?”

Sue wheeled in and went to hug Annie as well. Then taking a moment to inspect her, she said, “You look like hell!”

“Thanks,” Annie said quietly with the faintest hint of a smile. But Sue was right, and Cassie was worried. How had they missed the extreme weight loss? Her clothes hung on her and her nearly unlined face seemed to sag in a way Cassie had never seen before. Her skin was still so pale and the dark circles under her eyes made it look as though she’d been beaten. Her appearance was shocking.

Cassie and Annie helped Sue settle in a chair with her foot propped on another. Annie continued to apologize. “How could I have forgotten that you two were hurt? I just think of you both as so strong all the time. Can I get you anything?”

“Just stop,” Cassie demanded. “We’re fine and the only thing we need is an explanation.”

“How’s Andy?” she asked, stalling.

“How do you think he is?” Sue asked in a hard voice. “He’s terrified and hurt.” Annie lowered her head as the tears began again. “I’m not trying to make you feel worse,” Sue said in a softer voice, “but you asked and that’s the truth. It’s time Annie. Tell us everything.”

Annie nodded. “I’ve got to tell you, it feels like I’ve carried it alone forever. It’s a long story.”

Cassie sat with Annie on the bed. When Annie didn’t start, she prodded, “Does it look like we’re going anywhere? Tell us.”

Annie took a deep breath and began…

Saturday Spankings - Shocking news from Annie

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In last week’s snippet from Secrets on the River, Annie had contacted Cassie. As soon as they got Lily out of the house, Cassie was on the phone to Annie.

Cassie grabbed her phone to read the text again. It read, I thought I could do it by myself. I can’t. Call me at this number. But, please God, I don’t want anyone but you and Sue.

Cassie was already dialing the number. When the phone was answered all they could hear were sobs. “Annie, Annie,” Cassie said as soothingly as she could, “it’s just me and Sue. Talk! Where are you? What can we do?”

Intermingled with the sobs, Annie got out, “I need you. Can you come? I thought I could go away on my own, but I can’t. Please come!”

“Of course we’ll come. Where are you?” Cassie asked her.

“Don’t tell anyone!” she insisted. “Oh God,” she moaned. “Andy and Lily will hate me.” Again, Cassie and Sue waited as crying overtook Annie.

“Annie,” Cassie said sharply, “stop that and tell us where you are.”

“I’m in Raleigh,” Annie managed to get out and Cassie breathed a sigh of relief. That was barely two hours away. “I…I just texted Sue the address.”

Cassie glanced at Sue who held up her phone and nodded.

 “Okay, we got it. Whose phone are you using?” 

“It’s one I got at the superette,” she told Cassie, who shook her head. Annie had planned this out.

 “We’ll be leaving here in just a few minutes. Now you need to get hold of yourself. Nothing could make Andy or Lily hate you! Come on Annie, you know that. And if this was something from your past, even if you broke the law, the statute of limitations has to have run out long ago.”

Cassie and Sue listened to more crying before they heard Annie say, “There is no statute of limitations on murder.”

Everyone has secrets, but most don’t have major implications. When Jenny tries to keep her weekend activities from Cal, the repercussions of him finding out land only on her. But some secrets are bigger and more far reaching. You would think that as long as Cassie, Sue and Annie have known each other, surely they could have no real secrets from one another. But you’d be surprised. The full truth behind one secret may never be known, another could change the face of The Landing forever.
