Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from Family on the River, Lottie and Leo both attended Cassie’s party and began talking. He offered her a ride home and Lottie surprised herself by accepting. She knew that there would be hell to pay if Vince ever found out, but she couldn’t help herself.
Once in the car with Leo, Lottie felt uncomfortable. Leo was nothing like the men she ‘dated’ at work. He was much younger, closer to thirty, than most of the men she accompanied to events who were in their sixties, at least. He was nothing like Vince either. That was a change that felt good. Besides his extreme good looks Lottie sensed a … calmness about him that was very attractive.
“That was a nice bunch of people,” Leo commented. “I’m looking forward to working with Cassie and Lane at the Shelter.”
“I agree. I don’t know them all well, but I’ve known them all slightly. Cassie invited me to come take a tour of the Shelter. What did you think of it?”
“I was really impressed. Seems like Cassie really thought everything out.”
They talked on about the people at The Landing and the Shelter until they reached town. Leo looked over at Lottie and hesitantly said, “It’s not really late, would you like…”
Here it comes, Lottie knew. Would you like a drink, to come back to my place? Why are all men so single-minded?
“…to stop and get a cup of coffee?” Leo finished.
Lottie stared at him.
“You could get decaf if coffee keeps you awake. I’m afraid I drink it all the time.”
“No, no. Coffee’s fine,” Lottie told him with a grin. “I just wasn’t expecting it.”
Leo grinned at her. “I’m really not much of a drinker. Just the occasional beer.” He pulled into the Coffee Cup at the edge of town. They sat outside where they could see the river. “My family’s from Greenville, so I grew up in this area but I’ve been working in Florida for the past five years. I really like being back. What about you?”
“I’m not really sure,” Lottie answered slowly. “I’ve worked all over the country, but in the past few years I lived in Raleigh and I really liked it there. Washington comes with lots of baggage for me. I mean my family is fine, but I always felt judged—all those older brothers you know. It seemed everyone in the family was waiting for me to screw up. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how it all works out.”
They were quiet a moment, then Leo asked, “Are you seeing anyone?” At Lottie’s startled look he went on hurriedly, “I just wondered if you’d like to go to dinner one evening or maybe a movie.”
“I… I’m not seeing anyone. But I don’t go out much.” What the hell am I saying? she asked herself. “I mean I work most nights.”
Leo nodded. “Cassie indicated that I’d be making my own schedule once I get the hang of everything. Maybe we could go to breakfast or lunch sometime.”
“Um… yeah sure, we could try that,” Lottie stammered. “But now I better get back to the hotel.”
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!
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.
