Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from Family on the River, Cassie’s worries for Allie are increasing. Allie's near constant nausea and tiredness, at first, had Cassie hoping it was an unplanned pregnancy. But after finding out Ryan had undergone a vasectomy a year earlier, Cassie worries ramp up.
Everyone turned as they heard yelling coming from outside. “Grandma, Lily! Come quick!” River was running up the deck stairs. “Mama’s on the floor and she can’t get up. Christian told me to come get y’all.”
Lily was out of the house before River made it all the way up onto the deck and Cassie wasn’t far behind. Annie reached for River. “Let’s wait here,” she urged him.
“No!” the boy told her firmly and raced back toward his house. Sue and Annie followed on his heels.
Allie was on the floor of her bathroom. Christian sat with his mother, talking softly to her. Allie had told him she was sick to her stomach and he had helped her sit up to hang over the commode. “Grandma and Lily are coming. You’ll be all right.”
Lily was soon kneeling beside him. As soon as Christian saw them, he began sobbing and grabbed onto his grandmother. “I didn’t know what to do,” he cried.
“Oh honey, you did everything right!” Cassie assured him. “You took care of your mama and sent for help. She’ll be fine now.”
Lily turned to see everyone in the room. “You boys go on outside with Miss Annie and Miss Priss. Me and Missy will look after your mama. She don’t need a whole crowd starin’ at her. Go on now,” she told them gently and reluctantly they left.
Together, Lily and Cassie got Allie up from the floor and dressed. They got her comfortable on the couch and placed a bowl on the floor beside her in the fear she’d be sick again.
“Allie honey, I’m getting you to the doctor today. This just isn’t right.” Cassie told her.
“I know you sick on your stomach, but what else?” Lily wanted to know. “You runnin’ any fever? You achin’ in your bones? Any headaches?”
“No,” she answered. “I’m just sick and so tired. I feel exhausted all the time.”
“Well, whatever it is, it’s past time you went to the doctor. Lily and I are taking you today.”
“Should we go to one of them urgent care places?” Lily asked.
“I’m taking her to Richard.” Cassie spoke of the doctor who had cared for her for more than twenty years. “I’m calling him right now and he’s going to see her!” Once the receptionist realized Cassie wasn’t going to take no for an answer, she made Allie a late afternoon appointment.
Leaving Lily with Allie, Cassie went out to talk with the boys. She hated seeing their faces so drawn and worried. “It’s okay boys, I got your mama an appointment with the doctor this afternoon. We’ll get to the bottom of this and get her well again.”
Both boys were silent until Christian asked in nearly a whisper, “She’s not going to die, is she?”
“Of course not! She’ll be well in no time,” Cassie told him firmly.
“Jacob and Jessie’s mama died,” Christian whispered.
Cassie sat and pulled Christian to her, holding out her other arm to River. “I know. She had cancer, honey, and some cancers are very hard to treat. I think your mama has a stomach bug. We’ll get her to the doctor for some medicine and she’ll be feeling better in no time.” Cassie told them, praying that she was right.
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.
