Welcome to Saturday Spankings! Cassie, Sue and Lane survived their fall from the hot air balloon in last week’s snippet from Suspicions on the River, but the battering from every branch on the tree they fell through has them covered in bruises and scrapes. How are they going to tell the fellows?
Helping Cassie and Sue into the van and back out again, showed the others just how badly they were hurting. It seemed to take everyone to get them into the hotel. Even Jenny helped as she clutched her crutches in one hand and hopped around on her good foot.
“You know there’s another way to use those things,” Sue commented, nodding towards the crutches, as she slowly walked through the door Jenny was holding open.
The night crew at the desk were stunned. They hovered around, asking what they could do to help. “We could use some ice packs, several if you have them,” Allie told them. “And we may need to replenish them during the night.”
Eventually they made it to the room, and Cassie and Sue sank gratefully into a couple of chairs. Allie spoke quietly with Mason and he promised to have their car back to them the next morning. As he was leaving, the desk clerk showed up with the ice packs.
Annie and Allie put them on the worst looking bruises and finally they all sat down to talk. Cassie wanted an inventory of everyone’s injuries. Annie and Allie had certainly been the luckiest. Their only signs of the afternoon’s debacle were scrapes on their arms from fighting through the bushes to rescue the others.
“The doctor says it’s only a minor sprain,” Jenny clarified about her ankle. “Ice and elevation are all it needs for a few days.”
Lane reached down to lift Jenny’s leg onto her lap as they talked. “My leg needed five stitches and I’ve got bruises like you guys,” Lane told them. “But mine aren’t as impressive as yours!”
“Well if a thing’s worth doing…” Sue murmured.
“I thank God that we’re all in one piece,” Cassie said with a slight moan. “But now the question, when and what do we tell the fellows?”
That question briefly silenced the room. “How about pretending nothing happened?” Cassie offered. Everyone chuckled as they studied Cassie and Sue. There didn’t seem to be an inch of skin showing that wasn’t bloody or bruised. “I don’t think we’re going to be able to get away with that one, Mom,” Jenny spoke for them all.
“I say we leave it to the kids to explain,” Sue suggested. “You and Annie and I can go spend a month on the Riviera. Then we’ll come back and say, ‘what bruises?’
Cassie put her head back and closed her eyes. “I guess it doesn’t matter. I know I’m dead either way. Between Tom and Lily, I’ll be lucky to be able to leave the house alone as long as I live.”
Allie looked at her watch. “Well, it’s after midnight. The guys won’t be expecting to hear from us until tomorrow afternoon. We can decide in the morning.” Turning to her friends she asked Lane and Jenny, “Will you guys be okay if I sleep in here tonight? I think Annie and I can take care of these two if you guys can take care of yourselves.”
“You don’t have to do that, honey,” Cassie told her. “We’ll be fine.”
“Okay,” Allie said. “Get up.”
“What?” Cassie asked.
“I said, get up. I just want to see you stand up and walk to the bedroom.”
Cassie tried to rise. The intense soreness in her arms and legs stopped her. “Fine, you’ve made your point. I guess I could use a little help.”
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.
