Saturday Spankings - Caught again

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! We’ll get back to Cal and Jenny soon but today I wanted to put up a snippet from my new book, Family on the River. This book takes up about five years from where Undercurrents on the River left off. The grandchildren are growing and River, now in kindergarten, is climbing trees at Cassie’s before breakfast one morning. An activity Tom does not approve of for Cassie.

 

River heard a rustling in the tree below and smiled when he looked over and saw Grandma Cassie climbing toward him.

“Morning, boy,” she called. “Are you about ready for some breakfast?”

“Yes ma’am,” he answered. “I’m starving.”

“Well come on down. Lily has it about…”

“Cassie Jane, what are you doing?” There was no mistaking that voice or that tone. Cassie peered down to see her husband, Tom, standing below the tree, his hands on his hips.

“I was just telling River that breakfast was almost ready,” she answered sweetly.

“I have no doubt he could have heard you from the ground. Now get down. And be careful.”

“Sounds like I’m in trouble,” she whispered before carefully climbing down from the tree. Once she was on the ground, River quickly scampered down.

He grabbed Cassie’s hand saying, “Come on Grandma. Let’s go wash our hands.” Cassie smiled at the boy. She knew he was trying to help her get away before Papa started fussing. He was such a good boy.

“You go on, River. Grandma and I will be there in a minute,” Tom told him.

Cassie bent down to kiss the boy on the forehead. “You just make sure they save me some bacon,” she told him.

As River headed in, Cassie turned with the most innocent look she could muster, to face Tom. “How many times have I told you not to be climbing trees?” he wanted to know.

I can’t count that high, Cassie thought to herself and sighed as he took her hand.

~~

Tom led Cassie across their small patio and into their bedroom. “I’m tired of you not listening to me,” he began. “I know you don’t like hearing it, but I’m going to speak plainly. You are too old to be climbing trees and I want you to stop.”

Cassie narrowed her eyes at him. He was right about one thing; she didn’t want to hear about being “too old” for anything. “That is a good, sturdy, safe tree and I was barely off the ground.”

“You were nearly to the roofline,” Tom returned. “And accidents happen. Your hand could lose your grip or the branch you’re standing on could suddenly snap.”

Full of anger now, Cassie came back at him. “So far in the past few seconds you’ve called me old and fat! What’s next, ugly?”

Tom almost chuckled. He loved everything about this woman. Especially the way she tried to divert his attention away from what he was fussing about. He pulled her to him in a bear hug. “You know that’s not true. You are the perfect age, the perfect weight and anyone who would call you ugly is certifiably insane. But you’re still in trouble and we’ll discuss it more fully later.”

          Cassie is busier than ever with her growing number of grandchildren. And she’s delighted to learn another is on the way, though the news comes from a very unexpected source. Spending time with the grands and working at the shelter home she created takes up much of her time. Even with all this, she manages to sneak in time for a girls’ trip. Both the location of the trip and a chance encounter with an old friend cause Tom’s spanking hand to itch.

When a severely beaten woman shows up at the Shelter, she    inadvertently brings Cassie and Sue into a dangerous situation. Will Cassie be around to welcome this new grandchild?

Family on the River continues the heartwarming and often humorous story of Cassie’s life.

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 enthusiast, I know you'll enjoy 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.

Call the man!

It’s been a busy few weeks. It didn’t really need to be, but it has been. Nick owned this house when we got married. It was a fine house when I moved in, but not exactly a show place. Over our forty years together we’ve made some great changes. We added a sunny room where the deck used to be. We added on to the carport. And we totally redid the kitchen, the living room and the hall bathroom. All these updates are lovely and I’m pleased. But our bedroom and bath have really been ignored. And they need updating desperately. I’ve been asking/begging/pleading for this change for nearly fifteen years. Nick would always agree that it was needed, but nothing was ever done.

Then about three weeks ago he decides it all needs doing – yesterday! He wants a decision on paint colors, carpet, tile, cabinets and counter tops right this minute. And that not mentioning getting the rooms cleaned out. As I said these rooms have really been neglected over the years and became catch-all for stuff from all over the house. Getting things cleaned out and ready to go isn’t going to happen overnight.

Nick wants to take on too much of the work himself. He is capable and he’ll do it, but the other day he was fussing about the flooring not coming up easily and I finally snapped. For those of you old enough to have grown up with Andy Griffin in Mayberry, you’ll get this reference. I finally told him firmly, Call the man! 

I said, “What if I were a little old lady living here by myself. If I were getting a new floor, do you think they would expect me to be crawling around trying to rip up the old floor? NO! There are people who do that for a living, let them!”

I do appreciate that Nick is so handy. Over the years he has done much of our plumbing, much of the electrical work, he even did all the drywalling in my writing room. But I have NO desire to be his little helper. I nearly killed myself twenty years ago carrying my half of the drywall to be installed. At our ages now – near seventy, I’m not willing to risk tweaking my back, or his, when we have the means to hire it done by professionals. And don’t get me started on our discussions about wall and cabinet colors.

As usual I’m just using my blog as a place to bitch and gripe. We’ll get it done and I’m sure it will be lovely. I just don’t like feeling rushed when I’ve had to wait so long.

I wish Nick had a hobby, besides golf. Maybe I could get him to write a book. It’s calming and peaceful and you can go anywhere in the world you want to do and do anything you like. Speaking of which… Family on the River is live and you can click on it by clicking the picture on my side bar above or by going here. If you read it and if you like it, I ask you to consider leaving a review on Amazon. Amazon counts the number of reviews, not their length, to decide what books to promote. Something simple like, “Interesting book.” Or “I liked it.” are more than welcomed!

Saturday Spankings - Family tension

           

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! I'm still in the book Becoming Family in my Cal's Law series. I'll begin putting up snippets for the new book after Oct. 22, when it comes out live. After Jenny met Cal’s family he insist on meeting hers. Jenny, knowing her family better than he does, is against the idea. The meeting is a disaster. As Cal and her father tour the estate grounds, Jenny and her mother have an ugly disagreement. Cal leads Jenny away to try and calm her down. That proves to be difficult.

 

Jenny sobbed for a while, before pulling away. “I hate her, I hate her! Fucking whore! She thinks she controls…”

“Stop it,” Cal demanded. “Stop right now. I don’t think much of your mother either but stop the name-calling and calm down.”

Jenny pushed out of his arms. “Don’t tell me to calm down,” she shouted. “I have every right to be pissed and I’ll calm down when I’m damn good and ready! That bitch thinks she can ignore me for a year and then tell me what the hell to do? She can go fuck herself. She can…”

Cal crossed to the bed, grabbing Jenny’s arm as he went. Yanking her over his knees as he sat, he began spanking with quick, hard, punishing swats. The intense cussing didn’t slow for nearly a full minute as Cal took a second to flip up her dress. He continued spanking, slowing a little but still making every swat count. Finally, the cursing turned to sobs and at last, “Cal, please, I’m sorry.”

Cal stopped spanking and began rubbing. “Are you back?” he asked quietly.

“Y…yes,” Jenny managed to get out.

He helped her up and held her in a healing hug. She cried into his chest and he gently rubbed her ass. He led her to a white rocking chair and sat her down.

“Shit Cal, that hurts,” she whined trying to rise.

“You better sit back down and listen to me,” Cal demanded.

Jenny eased back into the chair as Cal pulled up a footstool and sat in front of her. “I don’t like that other person and I won’t let her take you over and steal the woman I love. Not ever. I’m sorry I insisted we come here. You knew best and I didn’t listen. That was my fault. But I did have to meet your parents and I’m glad that’s over. Do you want to go home? I don’t feel much like dinner.”

“Yes, please Cal.”

Starting from the room Jenny whispered fiercely at him, “That spanking really hurt, you jerk. You don’t have to spank so hard.”

“It brought you back to me, didn’t it?”

Jenny shook her head as they headed down stairs. Jenny’s parents came into the foyer. “It’s been an unsettling evening for everyone. We won’t be staying for dinner, but I’m glad I had a chance to meet you both,” Cal told them.

“Please don’t go. Dinner’s all ready,” Mr. Anderson insisted.

“We’re going, Daddy,” Jenny stepped forward and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. 

“Your friend can go,” her mother snapped, “but you need to stay. We haven’t finished our conversation.”

“Conversation? That was hardly a conversation. I think I got the gist, Mother. You hate Cal, though you don’t know him at all. You think he’s not good enough for me and you won’t permit me to associate with a lowly county sheriff. You think I’m seeing Cal as a way of rebelling against you, rather than realizing he’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Does that sum it all up pretty well?”

“Virginia…” her mother began.

“Stop. My name is Jenny. Use it or don’t speak to me at all. And you also need to know, Cal and I are going to get married in the near future. It’ll be a small ceremony, just the people who love us. You won’t have to worry about attending.”

Taking Cal’s hand, Jenny opened the front door and headed for the car. Her parents followed them out. Jenny heard her mother’s voice. “You’ll marry that man over my dead body!” she spat at her.

Jenny turned and stared for a moment at the woman who had given her birth. “I wonder if Daddy will miss you?” she asked before getting in and slamming the door.

Cal looked over at her as he pulled away, “Now that’s the girl I fell in love with.” 

Jenny and Cal are together and happy. Though they share a deep connection, they have very different ideas of what makes a family. Jenny’s is small, cold and unwelcoming. Meeting Cal’s sprawling, loud, loving mass of sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles poses a unique challenge. She protects herself against her domineering mother, keeping her at arm’s length.

 

Cal keeps his parents and extended family close. They are like one big, living, breathing hug. His challenge: to get Jenny to her first Bennet barbeque. Her love for him, and a bit of over the knee encouragement, drives her to agree to meet the Bennets. She learns that not all families are created equal.

 

Heartened by her reaction, Cal is excited to finally meet Jenny’s parents. Despite her warnings, he remains steadfast – all families are loving and kind. Mothers love their daughters; fathers protect their children. The dinner they share in her childhood home teaches him things he wishes he never had to learn.

 

Jenny’s mother has planned a future for her daughter that does not include someone as ordinary as Cal Bennet. What good could this small town hick with no money and no connections do her? How far will she go to see that her wishes become reality? Will these two lovers come to an understanding of what their family will look like?

Saturday Spankings - Is this normal?

      

Welcome to Saturday Spankings.  In this snippet from Becoming Family, Jenny has become friends with Cal’s sister Lane. While enjoying a picnic lunch in Lane’s old tree house, Lane tells about an incident when she was spanked by her boyfriend. Jenny is angry at first, thinking Cal had told Lane he had spanked her. Lane calms her down and explains that in the Bennett family, it’s a normal occurrence. 

“Normal? Are you nuts? There is nothing normal about a grown woman getting spanked like a little kid by a man who’s supposed to love her.”

“I guess we’re telling more secrets today than I planned to,” Lane went on. “I don’t know if it’s normal everywhere, but I do know that every one of my sisters-in-law gets spanked. And while I’m spilling all these family secrets, my mama gets spanked too.”

“No! That can’t be true,” Jenny gasped in horror.

“It’s true. The night I found out about Mama is burnt into my memory. I was thirteen. There had been something wrong with her for a few days. She seemed down, which was really unusual. She just seemed quiet and sad about something. I woke up about midnight and opened my window. Dad had literally taken her to the woodshed – I guess because they had a house full of kids. Anyway, I could hear the spanking and I could hear Mama crying and telling him she was sorry and she’d never do it again but the spanking went on for a while.

“I sat listening at the window until I heard them coming back to the house. I was scared shitless. I lay there awake the rest of the night because I knew that in the morning, I was either going to find my Dad dead, my mom gone or she would be telling us kids to pack our things because she was leaving him.

“But when I came into the kitchen the next morning, there was Daddy sitting at the table smiling and watching Mom cook. She was at the stove making pancakes – on a weekday, and she was singing! She was bringing the platter to the table when Daddy reached over and untied her apron. He’ll do that sometimes to tease her. I remember she slapped his shoulder then bent over and kissed him. She was, well they both were, as happy as I’d ever seen them.

“I heard them again one more time when I was about seventeen – with the same results. Mama was happy as could be the next morning. So, with all that, and then hearing my sisters-in-law talking about it on occasion, I guess you could say I grew up thinking it was sorta normal.”

Jenny and Cal are together and happy. Though they share a deep connection, they have very different ideas of what makes a family. Jenny’s is small, cold and unwelcoming. Meeting Cal’s sprawling, loud, loving mass of sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles poses a unique challenge.
