Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In this snippet from Cassie’s River Living, Cassie is talking with Allie. Once Cassie realized Ryan had told Allie about Tom spanking her occasionally, Cassie knows she will have to try and explain the lifestyle to Allie.
We sat quietly at first, each waiting I think, for the other to speak. I know I would have been more comfortable if she had just asked me what she wanted to know, but I can only imagine how hard that would have been for her, so I began first.
“Sweetie, I was in bed last night before it dawned on me why you were so upset. Let me give you my best guess.” I took a deep breath and plunged in. “I’m guessing Ryan told you that Tom has been known to spank me on occasion and I think that’s upset you. I realize now that some of your questions, when we were talking about my first husband, were really you fishing for the truth to what Ryan had told you. You feel I wasn’t honest with you. So how’m I doing?”
Bless her heart, she was still so upset and couldn’t even speak without crying so she just nodded.
“Oh Allie, don’t look like that,” I pleaded. “You have to understand that when Tom and I were younger and first married, this was a very common practice. Tom didn’t hurt me and I’m certainly not angry with him. Now I knew full well what he would do if he caught me taking the boat out yesterday. Of course, I didn’t think he’d catch me, but I took the risk with the knowledge he would spank me if he caught me.”
“But, Cassie, that’s just awful. I can’t believe that Tom hits you. That’s not okay! I can’t understand it at all,” she told me, her voice still cracking with emotion.
I bristled at the word ‘hit’, but I let it pass for the moment. “First off,” I began. “I can just imagine the picture you have in your mind of what happened yesterday after you left. Let me change that to a more accurate one. Child, surely you’ve seen all the old ‘I Love Lucy’ shows.”
Allie looked puzzled at the change in conversation, but she nodded.
“Well if you’ll remember there were several shows when Ricky took Lucy over his knee when he was particularly exasperated with her, remember?” Again, Allie nodded. “Well, picture that when you think of Tom spanking me, just an annoyed husband who needs to make sure he has his wife’s full attention.”
I could tell Allie was really thinking. She finally gave me a little smile and said, “That isn’t as bad as the way I was picturing it.”
I smiled at her. Perhaps I was misleading her on the severity of some of the spankings I have received over the years, but that was nothing she needed to know.
“Now, young lady, you said something about Tom ‘hitting’ me. I don’t ever want to hear that from you again. Tom does not ‘hit’ me and never has. I’m sure you’ve seen men yelling at their wife either in real life or on TV. It’s not a pretty sight. My first husband yelled at me. He screamed, cursed and called me ugly, foul names. Many days it went on for hours. Tom never yells at me. But suppose Tom was several houses away when he saw me standing in the road with a car coming. You have to know he’s going to raise his voice to whatever level he needs to give me a warning. So, where he is technically yelling, you still wouldn’t say, Tom yells at his wife.”
Allie nodded and I went on.
“That’s the same difference between hitting and spanking. My first husband hit me. Tom would never, ever do that. He would, and does, spank me occasionally to get my attention and keep me safe. But you have to understand hitting and spanking are two totally different things.”
Cassie and Tom are happily settling into River Living. Cassie hoped that this peaceful setting would be enough to keep her out of trouble. But how can she stay out of trouble with Sue living at the river too? Staying out of trouble proves just too difficult.
Cassie is happy that Tom and Ryan are growing so close, but she is concerned about what relationship advice Tom may be giving him. Overheard conversations and statements from Ryan have her worried. Is Tom sharing his thought on adult spanking with Ryan? It seems so and when Cassie realizes that Allie is hearing these thoughts too, she’s worried. Cassie realizes she is going to have to try to explain things more fully. Can Cassie explain this way of life to eighteen-year-old Allie?
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!
These books do take you through time as it passes, but please don’t think you have to read them in order. Start anywhere. Just grab one and give it a try. If you are a spanking
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.
And, of course, the links -
Love this snippet, and I'm glad Cassie had a sit down with Allie. Unless you understand that spankings, though sometimes painful, are given with love and a desire to protect you'll get the idea. Ricky did spank Lucy out of frustration, which is something Tom probably wouldn't do. If he was frustrated or angry, he'd wait until he'd calmed down enough to regain his perspective. It's a fine line, but he knows exactly where to draw it. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteTom has this whole lifestyle pretty down pat now. No, he doesn't spank our of frustration, but out of love always.
DeleteHi PK, hope you manage to solve the blogger issues.
ReplyDeleteLove this snippet. I too am glad Cassie had the talk with Allie. Spanking is hard to explain to others, particularly how and why it works, but Cassie did it so well.

I've always wanted Cassie to go on a talk show and really explain the whole thing to the world. I believe she could do it.
