Welcome to Saturday Spankings. If you’ve read any of my books you know you’ll find some sexy scenes as well as plenty of spanking scenes, but there is also tons of interaction between friends and family. In today’s snippet from Undercurrents on the River, Allie and her mother, Kate, finally have it out.
“Allie, your dad and I came up with a perfect solution for all your problems. We talked it over last night and I’m excited to tell you about it.”
Looking at her mother suspiciously, Allie replied, “We don’t have any problems. What are you talking about?”
“You know your dad and I still own Mother’s house. We think it would be a perfect place for you to live. You need to get away from your childhood home and any baggage you might have with it. Young families are moving in as Mother’s generation passes on. Her neighborhood is full of young people with children. It would be perfect for you and Ryan and the boys. You need a fresh start and to get away from all these old people around here,” her mother told her. She went on to add, “You realize as these folks get older, you’ll be stuck. Are you ready to take care of six old people as they begin to decline? I tell you, it’s no picnic. You don’t want to be trapped into it by being next door. So what do you think of my idea?” her mother asked.
Allie stared at Kate before saying, “I think you’ve lost your mind. That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say, and I’ve heard you say more dumb things than ever this week.”
“Why, Allie!”
“I don’t know who you are, but you aren’t the woman who raised me. You’ve been mean and rude to my whole family since you got here. You’ve criticized everybody and everything. I’ve had my fill and I won’t listen to anymore.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I…”
“Stop,” Allie said, holding up her hand. “Just stop. You have made it plain you don’t like the baby’s name, the color of his bedroom or where Christian sleeps. According to you, I don’t feed them right or at the right time and I put them to bed wrong. You don’t like the careers Ryan and I have chosen. And now you want us to move from our home to get away from old people we may have to care for some day? I think you’ve gone crazy.
“These old people are my family and I deeply love each of them. When they start to fail and need help, I would crawl across broken glass to get to them just like I know they’d do for me. They are always there for the boys too – reading, cuddling, playing and just talking with them, and that includes listening to them. This house, The Landing and all the people on it make this a paradise for us and we’re never leaving.”
“So, you’d crawl across glass for them, but would you come to England to look after me?” Kate asked in a venomous voice.
Allie looked at her mother steadily. “No, I wouldn’t.” She let a second pass before going on. “But I would bring you here, into our home if necessary and look after you the very best I could. But no, I wouldn’t leave my family to go somewhere else to care for you.”
“I knew it! I knew you resented me for caring for Mother. You feel like I abandoned you. But what could I do? She didn’t want to move here. I did the best I could.”
“Mom you are the only one who has a problem with that. When you went to care for Grandmother I was nearly grown. I promise you I don’t resent you for that. I’m glad you were there for her and I’m happy you and Dad went on to England because I know that’s what you both wanted. But don’t come back here once or twice a year and try to cram years of motherly advice and criticism into a week. Because I’m telling you now, we won’t put up with it again.
The two women stared at one another for a moment. Then Kate walked to her bedroom and slammed the door. The noise startled the baby who woke with a howl. Allie picked him up and held him close as they cried together.
Undercurrents on the River (A Cassie’s Family Story)
Book four in the On the River Series
Cassie and Tom are happy being grandparents, not that this distinction is calming Cassie down any. She is still loving her life with Tom and enjoying time with Sue and Annie. Other family members are moving to The Landing, with Drew and Jackson returning. And puppy love seems to have taken hold of Ryder and Sophie. After Ryder shares the ‘family secret’, that all the men on The Landing spank their wives at times, the young people try a little experimenting themselves. Is a third spanking generation in the making?
However, when Cassie falls into a serious depression, none of the extended family know how to help. She won’t talk to Tom or Sue about the cause and continues to sink deeper and deeper into herself. Cal has a suggestion to help, but Tom is a firm “No” to the idea. Will help come from a very unlikely source?
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.

Aww, poor Allie. That was hard but she did well standing up to her mother.

Allie had just finally had enough. She had to stand up for herself.
DeleteWow! Intense scene. I've a feeling Kate's advice was well-intentioned, but unwise. Allie had clearly had it with her mother. Great scene.
ReplyDeleteKate really was trying to be helpful, but she was going about it the wrong way. Allie had put up with all she could.
DeleteGood for Allie. She stood up well for herself.

It can be really hard to standup for yourself to your mom, but I think Allie did a really good job.
