Welcome back to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from my latest book, Undercurrents on the River, little Christian spills some of his mother’s secrets, landing her in a world of trouble. Realizing that ‘something’ is happening that she’s not catching onto Sophie, fifteen, ask her boyfriend, Ryder, seventeen, to let her in on the secret.
There was a feeling of great relief once Kate and Chris returned to England. The whole Landing seemed to relax, Allie most of all. The family was seated around the fire pit in the backyard after dinner. The temperature suited Cassie perfectly, just cool enough that the fire felt good but not necessary. After nursing River, Allie handed him over to Cassie for their last cuddle of the day.
Ryder and Sophie were entertaining Christian as the adults sat and talked. As Ryan watched his son playing, something caught his attention. What’s that kid doing?
Calling to the child, Ryan asked, “What are you doing with that stick?”
The boy took the small stick from his mouth and answered, “I’m smoking like Mommy.”
Everyone there, except Christian, froze at this statement.
“Come over here, son,” Ryan said.
Cassie stole a quick glance at Allie as the boy ran to his dad. Her face was reddening to an alarming color.
As Christian climbed into his dad’s lap, Ryan asked, “When did you see Mommy smoking?”
“When we play at Oliver’s house. Mommy and his mommy sit in the garage and smoke while we play on the ‘poline,” Christian told him, completely unaware that he was throwing his mother under the bus.
All eyes, including Ryan’s, were on Allie. She had slumped in her chair and had her face hidden behind one hand.
“Don’t pretend to smoke anymore, son. You could fall with the stick in your mouth and hurt yourself. Smoking’s not a good idea anyway. Mommy’s not going to do it anymore either,” he added.
“Okey-dokey,” Christian agreed as he hopped down and ran back to Ryder and Sophie.
Quiet lingered over the adults for another moment. Then standing and holding his hand out to Allie, Ryan said, “Let’s talk.”
Cassie could see the conflict in Allie’s face. She most definitely wanted to get away from the stares of her family but going in with Ryan at the moment was the last thing she wanted to do. Still, without a word she stood and took his hand. Embarrassment seemed to radiate from her.

“What was all that?” Sophie asked as they took their seats on the dock. “I could tell something was happening that I wasn’t getting, but everyone else was.”
Ryder watched her a moment as he sat thinking. “Are you ready to hear the ‘family secret?’” he asked. “You can’t tell anyone that you know. They don’t even realize I know.”
“Okay, this sounds good. Spill.”
“Hmm… where to start?” Ryder paused as he thought. “You remember last summer when my aunt Charlotte got herself in all that trouble? Do you remember what I told you all the family wanted to happen?”
Sophie laughed. “I remember. You said your family wanted your granddad to spank her butt.” Sophie shook her head. “But she was too old for that.”
“Not really,” Ryder answered slowly. “Not in our family, anyway. My family believes in spanking.”
Sophie stared at him without speaking. At last, she said, “The kids, you mean.”
“No, not just the kids,” he told her. “I know for a fact that all my uncles spank their wives. I’ve overheard them talking about it. And I heard Cal spanking Jenny once.”
Sophie started to speak and then stopped. Suddenly her quick mind rushed ahead of the conversation. “Are you saying Ryan took Allie in to spank her for smoking? You’re crazy! None of the women here would ever let that happen! For that matter Allie would never stand for it. What are you talking about?”
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.

Undercurrents on the River (book four)
Out of the mouths of babes eh? How embarrassing for poor Allie. I have a feeling it won't be long before Sophie gains a little more understanding of the family secret☺

Let's just say that here curiosity has been aroused.
DeleteAgain, I totally agree with Roz, though I can fully understand Sophie's confusion and vehement denial. She's clearly a budding feminist at heart.
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! But she is most interested in what the other women of The Landing are thinking.
