Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In today’s snippet from Suspicions on the River, Jenny is at Cassie’s early for a cookout that evening. While there she gets a text from Lane where Lane mentions having had lunch with Pat. Jenny’s temper flares again and she heads inside not wanting to visit with anyone. When Lane shows up, she goes in looking for Jenny.
“Why are you in here and not at the party?” Lane asked. Jenny said nothing. “Jenny? What’s wrong? Talk to me,” Lane insisted. Still Jenny remained silent. Taking a step forward, Lane laid her hand on her friend’s arm.
With a violent gesture that Lane hadn’t been expecting, Jenny jerked her arm away, shoving Lane back in the process. “What’s wrong with you?” Lane demanded, coming close again.
“Nothing!” Jenny told her through clenched teeth. “Just get the hell out of my face.” She gave Lane another push that nearly made her stumble back. Jenny turned to walk away from her sister-in-law.
Lane, her hair seeming to glow red as her anger grew, went for Jenny returning the shove in full measure. Jenny stumbled forward into the wall before rounding on Lane, slapping her hard. In total shock, Lane balled her fist to come back at Jenny, when a commanding voice rang out.
“Stop that this instant!” Cassie demanded as she rushed toward the girls, closely followed Allie. Not bothering to ask for an explanation, she told them firmly, “Go to my bedroom right now.” Lane opened her mouth to protest.
“Not a word!” Cassie snapped. “I’ll be there in a moment. Allie, will you go and act as referee until I get there?”
All the girls turned silently and did as she bid.
Cassie gave them all a moment then stepped into the bedroom joining the three silent girls. Jenny and Lane were at opposite sides of the room, backs to one another. Allie sat crossed legged on the bed with an avidly curious look on her face.
“Sit,” she ordered the two standing and each took a chair. “Jenny, may I see your last few texts?” Jenny handed her the phone.
Cassie read Lane’s last text and nodded, returning the phone to Jenny. “Lane, do you have any idea what’s going on?”
“None!” she answered angrily.
“Jenny, do you want to explain it to her?” Cassie asked.
Jenny shook her head and said nothing. “Fine, I will,” Cassie began. “Lane, when Jenny met Cal’s old girlfriend yesterday, she let herself believe that the woman wants to start up her old relationship with him. She was embarrassed at the way she looked in comparison to this woman. And feeling that way, she was somewhat hurt by how happy both you and Elly were to see her. Her insecurity and her temper got her in trouble with Cal last night and then reading that you’d had lunch with Pat today, she nearly let that temper get her in trouble again. Since you haven’t done one thing wrong, I think she owes you an apology.”
Jenny and Lane were both staring at Cassie in surprise. Neither had heard her speak quite this way before. Allie grinned. She’d been in just enough trouble with Cassie over the years to recognize Cassie’s crisp diction and formal way of speaking when she was particularly angry with someone she loved. She was just glad it wasn’t directed at her this time.
“Well?” Cassie asked Jenny impatiently.
“I’m sorry I slapped you,” Jenny muttered.
A moment when by before Cassie pronounced, “Weak and insincere. Now, can I trust you two to talk this out like adults? I’d like Allie to stay and be an impartial advisor.” She looked at Allie who nodded eagerly.
Cassie turned to Jenny and spoke more softly. “Jenny, I’d like to see you get through this without another spanking. But if you slap anyone I consider family again, I’ll tell Cal myself. Are we clear?”
Jenny nodded and as Cassie reached the doorway, she went to her. She hugged Cassie tightly, whispering in her ear, “I love you, Mom.”
Suspicions on the River,
Book Three
(a Cassie’s family story)
Cal and Jenny have a nearly idyllic marriage. There are rare trips across his lap for minor problems, but most of those trips are just for fun. Could that be changing? Pat, Cal’s former lover, has moved back to town and she wouldn’t mind giving it another try with Cal. She feels he can’t be serious about this little twit that he married so quickly. Pat feels that once Cal realizes she offers him a better option, he’ll choose her. But soon mysterious things begin happening to Pat. Is someone trying to run her out of town? Could that someone be Jenny?
Cassie and the whole river family try to keep Jenny occupied and out of trouble, but suspicions just go from bad to worse. Both Jenny and Pat want Cal and they’re willing to fight for him. How dirty will this fight get?
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.
