Saturday Spankings - The aftermath

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! In last week’s snippet, from Cassie's Space, Cassie received her first ever spanking from Tom. Afterwards, while she was still very angry, he asked her a question that changed her life, “Cassie, has no one ever cared for you enough to make you behave yourself?”

I suppose all of life is just a matter of timing. I had known the answer to that question all my life, though I’d avoided thinking of it. At that moment, Tom found a way to break open the shell I lived in. As I write this, it seems such a simple question, but as I stood looking at him, the answer to his question flooded my mind and the hurt went much deeper than the spanking had.

The answer was no. No one had ever cared for me that much. I started crying. I hadn’t cried in front of another person since I was a child. My first husband had never seen me cry, and here I was, bawling like a baby in front of a man I’d only known for a few short weeks.

Tom scooped me up and carried me back to our quilt. He pulled out his handkerchief and gave it to me before sitting down and leaning back against the tree, cuddling me on his lap. My bottom throbbed from the spanking as he held me, but the comfort of his arms around me and his gentle words overrode the pain.

So many thoughts and feelings swirled around in my mind, but I could hear Tom talking to me quietly. “You’re all right now. I’m not going anywhere. Relax, honey, you’re safe.”

I finally stopped crying and took a tentative look at Tom. Oh my, those blue eyes were so close. I didn’t know what to say so I just reached up and kissed him softly. Soon our gentle kisses became more passionate. We made love for the first time in that beautiful meadow. So many years ago, yet still so clear in my memory.

For the previous five years, I had followed no one’s rules but my own. I’d had sex with so many men during those years. But in that beautiful meadow, for the first time in my life, a man had made love to me. The contrast amazed me so much I felt like a virgin.

Afterward, I felt as if a dam had burst. I opened up and talked to Tom more than I had ever talked to anyone before. Although I rarely spoke about it, I told him of my childhood. It hadn’t been horrible, just lonely. And even back then I didn’t remember many details. But I did remember that feeling of overwhelming loneliness. My parents had a son to carry on the family business. I’d always felt like an unnecessary and unwanted annoyance.

I’ve often thought that the spanking I received and sharing my memories with Tom that afternoon, saved me twenty years of therapy. Yet I didn’t want Tom feeling sorry for me, so I emphatically told him, “All that’s in the past. I’m having the time of my life now.”

“Really?” he asked me. “Is everything in your life the way you want it?”

“Of course it is,” I assured him. “I can travel and shop and party day and night. What’s not to like?”

“I think you need more than that. You need someone who cares for you, someone to protect you and make you feel safe.”

I laughed. “That’s silly. I’m not scared of anything. As for the rest, it makes a great fairytale, but I don’t need it. I’m happy with my life and I can take care of myself.”

How grateful I am to this day that Tom knew I lied through my teeth. 

             Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. Cassie has survived emotionally distant parents and an abusive marriage. Widowed young, with plenty of money, she turns her energies to partying twenty-four/seven, until Tom spots her at a party. To nearly all who know her now, Cassie is a vivacious, sweet southern lady, who is the epitome of grace and proper behavior. Look a tiny bit closer and you’ll see Cassie has another side – the one whose language could make a sailor blush as she drinks him under the table. Thanks to her loving husband Tom, who never hesitates to put Cassie over his knee when she strays too far from his view of ladylike behavior, few people other than close old friends knew this side of Cassie exists. Cassie shares many stories of their early marriage, as she tries to adjust to Tom’s belief in the power of the hairbrush.

                Cassie wouldn’t change her life for anything. As she says, “There are two things I want everyone to take away from our stories. First there is nothing wrong with an old-fashioned marriage where the husband guides and protects the wife and there is certainly nothing wrong with the wife trying to get away with as much as possible.

                "Second, and most important, I hope our stories convey that love and passion are not the sole property of the young. Love and passion grows and changes with age. While aging may bring on challenges – the love and passion between two people only grows stronger." 

 Cassie’s Space series

These nine 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 couples. The spanking in their relationship began mere minutes after they met, and Cal hasn’t let up much since. Their 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.
