Welcome to Saturday Spankings. Today’s snippet is from my new book Undercurrents on the River. Allie’s parents have arrived unexpectedly to see their new grandchild. From the moment she arrived nearly every word out of her mouth has been a criticism of some kind - don’t drink in front of the kids, I don’t like the baby’s name, don’t touch food until you’ve been sanitized, don’t nurse your child unless you’re in a dark cave… alone! This was the way Cassie heard it and that was in the first half hour of their visit.
After her parents went to bed, Allie came to vent to Cassie and Tom. Cassie gave her excellent advice, but then she needed to do some venting of her own.
Tom went up behind Cassie and put both arms around her. “You handled that beautifully and gave her some sound advice. Hopefully we can just settle down and ride this trip out.”
“Settle down my ass!” Cassie snarled, pulling away from him. “How dare that bitch upset Allie so! How dare she say Christian was spending too much time with me. I’d like to knock her damned head off and if I could find her in a dark alley, I would!”
“Cassie Jane, that’s enough,” Tom snapped.
Cassie whirled around to stare at Tom before what she had done hit her. Her hand flew to her mouth and a soft, “Oh…” escaped. “Now Tom, wait,” she began. “I didn’t mean… It’s just that Kate makes me so mad.”
Tom said nothing, his eyes never leaving Cassie’s. She sighed. That damned bitch, she thought. Now she’s gotten me in trouble.
Cassie knew Tom was upset with her and she knew exactly what he was going to do. Tom had always had a bee in his bonnet about ‘proper lady-like language.’ The first spanking he’d ever given Cassie, before they were even married, had been for this very thing. But over the years he’d relaxed – slightly, until Christian was learning to talk. His first two words were ‘ma-ma’ and ‘no’ but the third recognizable word had been an emphatic ‘damn!’
Most of the family had been out on Cassie’s deck together when he said it and the shocked looks were directed not at Christian, but at Cassie and Sue.
“I didn’t say anything,” Sue insisted.
“Me either,” Cassie agreed. “He could have picked that up anywhere.”
“Right,” Ryan had answered skeptically, giving his mother a squinty-eyed look. “He probably picked it up from Lily or Annie,” he’d said, knowing that they were the least likely culprits on The Landing.
Seeing the angry look on Tom’s face at that time, Cassie had started, “Honey, I didn’t…”
“We’ll discuss this later,” he’d said, ending the conversation for the moment.
That evening before bed, Cassie was over his knee for the hardest spanking she’d had in months. “Your use of bad language is not going to spill over onto that boy,” he’d told her firmly.
“Tom stop!” she’d begged. “I don’t cuss in front of Christian, you know I don’t. But sometimes Steve or Cal might,” she tossed out. Part of her wanted to point out that Allie and Jenny might let a bad word slip, but she didn’t want to get the girls in hot water. She tried to hear what he had to say as he finished with a flourish.
“I’m not going to listen to any more bad language from you. Are you clear on that?”
“Yes honey, yes!” she’d agreed. Anything to get him to stop spanking.
“And one more thing,” he’d continued, “anytime I hear a bad word come out of Christian’s mouth, I’m going to wear you out. Do you understand?”
“That’s not fa…,” she began, then stopped as Tom laid his hand on her bottom. Cassie hushed, figuring she wouldn’t address the unfairness of it until she was back on her feet.
That spanking had been months ago, but now she tried to remember exactly what words she’d used while fussing about Kate. From the look on Tom’s face, she was sure he remembered, verbatim.
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.
And, of course, the links -
Oh dear, I don't blame Cassie under the circumstances, it's a pity Tom is upset with her. Poor Allie, she doesn't need the criticism from her own mother!

Tom really has a bee in his bonnet when it comes to language. But Allie's mom would get to me too.
DeleteI agree with Roz. I don't blame Cassie at all for spouting off, but then I'm a bit more tolerant of her language than Tom is. Love the snippet, PK.
ReplyDeleteFor this Tom has zero tolerance. But Cassie already knew that. Allie's mom's the problem.
