Today I have Thianna on my Blog!

Please welcome the beautiful Thianna D!

Thanks, Constance, for letting my book tour be on your blog today:)

This is day 5 of the As Natural As Breathing Book Blog Tour. Have you been reading along? If not, you can find all the posts here.

Growing up in a domestic discipline definitely gives one a different perspective on it. Logan has known about DD his entire life and as such, it is normal for him. Considering most of the world thinks of it as an alternative lifestyle, it makes one think. What does alternative lifestyle mean? And does it truly apply?

After all, one could argue that any lifestyle could be considered alternative. If you grew up in a different one. For Logan, he has seen how close his parents are and how loving his family is, especially in comparison with some others. As such, domestic discipline is what he wants for his own relationship. The problem is? How do you explain that to the other person if they know nothing about it?

In this snippet, Logan talks to his father about just that question.

“Dad, how common is a domestic discipline relationship?”

“I don’t think it is that common,” Gregory admitted. “Most people would be shocked to know I spank your mother. The fact she enjoys it, looks forward to it and sometimes asks for it would horrify them even further.” He chuckled. “You should have seen her face when I first suggested it.”

Well, that was a conversation opening if Logan had ever seen it. “Dad? When do I mention it to Christian? I mean, in Seattle at the gay clubs, saying I like to spank can practically be an opening line. But I don’t want to scare him off. And yet…I also want the kind of relationship you two have.” Logan stopped speaking as he realized he was babbling. “I know we have only been on one date, but I really like him.”Gregory watched his son for a moment before smiling. “You do, don’t you? Well, son, I will admit to being woefully ignorant of the homosexual side of things. You have told me that spanking as a fetish is common. For someone like Christian who is from a very straight-laced family, it might be a bit of a shock. You need one of two things to happen. First, you two need to be far enough in your relationship that it is a relationship to discuss it. Second, you could take him to a club where he could see some fetishes going on and see what turns him on.”

Book Description:
As Natural As BreathingLength: Novel
Genre: Gay Spanking Romance

For Christian Darringer, life isn’t worth living. Just back from the Middle East; scarred and with permanent damage to one leg, he does not think anyone will want him for anything. Meeting a gorgeous man he finds himself thinking about constantly is not in his plans. Pulled toward the startling younger man with striking blue eyes, he begins to question a lot of things – especially his sexuality. Not one to hide from a challenge, he plunges ahead only to find himself more than just attracted to Logan who is full of life and joy, he finds himself head over heels in love.
Logan Mannette has almost everything he ever wanted: loving parents, happiness, friends and security. The only thing missing is finding the love of his life, a love that is just like his parents’. When he meets Christian at a party, everything changes. Instantly attracted, he does his best to help this sad man and quickly finds himself feeling more than he has ever felt before. Raised in a domestic discipline household, he holds that ideal as what he wants but his interest in spanking became a fetish and when Christian admits that he wants to be spanked, Logan believes he might have found the perfect man.
Just as everything begins for them, Christian’s past intercedes and one of his brothers makes waves about him dating a man. If it weren’t for Logan’s support, he might fold; but with the love of one amazing man, Christian finds that living his life rather than just existing is as natural as breathing.

Thianna D

For Thianna D, reading and writing are as important as breathing and far more important than math or science. A storyteller from the time she could speak, she was always making up characters as a kid. As a teenager that turned to sci-fi and fantasy, as an adult to romance. It wasn’t until her fourth decade that she began writing erotic scenes within her stories.
Writing M/M came naturally to her; she wrote her first tale before ever having read one. “There is something about the amazing dynamic between two strong men falling in love and defeating anything thrown at them.” While she had written several BDSM stories involving men, As Natural As Breathing was the first full-length novel involving domestic discipline.

Co Authors of The Journal, Liv Honeywell and Domitri Xavier are on my blog today. Come and meet them!

Today I'm happy to have with me Liv Honeywell and Domitri Xavier, the hot BDSM co authors of The Journal. Welcome guys!

Thank you, Constance. We’re really happy to be here and thank you for having us .

Back Cover Copy:

“Come to my study at eight o’clock sharp. Dress for dinner. Wear high heels and put on that dress – you know what I expect of you.”
When the order comes Livia is torn between anticipation and dread.
Does he know? How could he possibly know what she has done? And how can she find the words and the courage to tell him?
As eight o’clock edges ever nearer, Livia waits outside the study door, trembling; uncertain of what she will find when she comes face to face with her Master.
If he knows… If he does, there will be consequences. There is no doubt about that.
What will be the price for her moment of disobedience?

I'm curious about how you got started. Who had the first idea for this story?

Domitri: Liv and I met about 12 years ago but most of that time I wasn't aware that she was a writer. About a year ago, Liv contacted me with the idea of writing something together and I responded with the first chapter of the book. For various reasons almost a year went by before we got down to it seriously. In general, during the writing process, I was very keen to move the story on and equally excited to read Liv's responses (as she, of course, was to read mine!).
The idea was mine, the plot shifts were mine, and all Liv had to do was react. And how beautifully she did.

Liv: Good gracious, is something wrong? Are you feeling quite well? That was an actual compliment you just gave me. And a relatively long, proper answer. Who are you, and what have you done with Domitri?

Domitri: Liv, I am surprised that you should remark upon my beneficence and generosity with my time. I'm absolutely known for it. Please keep your answers short. I'm sure nobody is very interested in what you have to say.

Liv: Ah, there we go. Back to normal!
There’s not really a lot to add to that. Once I got Domitri’s first section he told me that he wanted me to write the same section from the slave’s point of view, and that was it really. We were off and running.

Is there much conflict when you're writing with someone else?

Domitri: No. She just does as she's told.
Again, since I was the one propelling the plot and knew what that would be all along, it was Liv’s frankly more difficult job, to respond to each twist and turn. We respect each other's writing and even when we were proof reading for the tenth time, there were never any cross words exchanged between us.

Liv: I always do as I’m told. I’m a good girl, practically angelic. I have to be to put up with him!
No, seriously, writing with Domitri was an absolute pleasure. I did find writing some of the story difficult and had to really think about it, but then again, Domitri was the one who had to worry about the plot and where it was going. The whole thing just seemed to flow from start to finish, and Domitri is right, we never had any disagreements at all. Fingers crossed that the next one in the series is the same.

Domitri: Yes, on mature reflection, it was much more difficult for me.

Who has the final say on a scene if you DON'T agree?

Domitri: I wonder if you can possibly imagine who that might be.

Liv: I’m saying nothing!

That may have been a silly question...
On the other side of the scale, I would imagine if you hit a patch of writer's block it would be good to have someone to bounce off. Do YOU find that?

Domitri: Yes. I don't think I did have writer’s block. Liv reading out loud to me her responses gave her a voice for the character which made it easier for me to take control of the situation.
It's a very interesting question, and you should congratulate yourself for asking it.

Why thank you Dimitri!

Liv: Domitri, how patronising can you be?

Domitri: That’s not being patronising. Little ladies deserve a pat on the head when they’ve done something well.

Liv: I do apologise for him, Constance. Anyway, back to the question. I never had writer’s block while we were writing The Journal. Some of the situations Domitri presented me with almost forced a response out of me. I reacted instinctively and then poured it onto the page. And the way he controlled everything, I actually felt submissive and that gave me so much to do with it all, so much to react to. That’s why I didn't get writer's block. And the only thing I had to do was respond. I didn’t have to worry at all about the plot or think what came next. It wasn’t up to me.

Domitri has helped me a lot though, if I’ve had writer’s block when working on other stories or guest posts, so having someone to throw ideas around with is definitely a good thing.

Domitri: Good girl.

Did you write much of yourself into your characters?

Domitri: Some. In the book the slave takes a peek at my private journal. For me, as a Master, this would mean that the slave, after having been given a chance to explain herself, would almost certainly have been dismissed from my service. I have unbend-able rules and if they are broken, the cost is very high. These rules are not random but very carefully thought out to test the obedience of my slave. If they are broken, then the trust has gone and the relationship would be at an end.

Liv: I had to do a lot of thinking about how I would react to some of the situations in the book before I could write as the slave, so to some extent I did, yes.

So apart from the obvious BDSM elements, would you say there was a little humour in your story?

Domitri: Not on this occasion, no. I do write a lot of light comedy but this certainly doesn't fall into that category. A serious incident had taken place and that needed to be reflected in the writing. My character had to control his rage at what had happened... No good Master delivers punishment in anger.

Liv: I love comedy but, like Domitri said, this is really quite a serious book. The slave has done something absolutely forbidden and her Master wants the truth. He actually says; “I want to ask you something. If you lie to me or try to hide the truth even a little, we're done, okay? We will be over.” I know how that made me feel when I read it in the first draft and that really does leave little room for humour. That’s not (or certainly shouldn’t be) an often trotted out threat. If he feels he’s got to say something like that, she really is in the deepest trouble she could possibly be in. She is, of course, going to tell the truth because of the situation but also because she is a very honest person and she wouldn’t lie to him anyway; but no matter what she says in reply, no matter what reasons or justification she thinks she had, they both know she’s going to be thoroughly punished for what she has done. The Journal couldn’t be described as a humorous book, though it does lighten at the end. That doesn’t mean none of the others in the series will have any humour though.

What's next for you two?

Domitri: Ah! We are writing a series of books with the generic title, Her Master’s Voice. Each will take as its starting point, one of the poems already published on http://domitrixavier.wordpress.com, and the next one is to be set to the poem Shreds. By all means take a look for yourself.

Liv: Yes, Domitri writes such beautiful poetry. We were almost done with the first draft of The Journal and I realised the story line was quite similar to one of his poems, so I suggested we print it at the start of the book. Then I had the idea to write a series of books either based on or inspired by his poems, and he came up with the series title.

Ok I usually ask people four quick questions so we can get to know you. Want to play?

Domitri: Oh I think we can do that.

What's your favourite food?

Domitri: Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, and for dessert, Waitrose white chocolate tiramisu, licked from the back of my personal assistant, Fifi de Manique.

Liv: Oh you want me to pick only one? Well I wouldn’t complain if presented with what Domitri mentioned – not that he ever lets me get anywhere near the white chocolate tiramisu, you understand! I love Italian food too and my favourite is something I make occasionally – chicken and bacon pasta with sunblush tomatoes and green pesto. Yummm. For dessert? After that it would have to be something light, so probably blueberry cheesecake.

Domitri: My God, you do go on.

Who would you pick to play you in a movie?

Domitri: Meryl Streep

Liv: *Looks at Domitri* Ah yes, I can see the obvious resemblance. For me, Alex Kingston because of the hair, and apparently, I look like her too.

If you could live anywhere on earth where would that be?

Domitri: A gentleman’s home is his castle. He has no business living anywhere else.

Liv: I’d love to live near the sea somewhere so I could walk on the beach every day.

Lastly, do you have an excerpt from The Journal you'd like to share with us?

We certainly do. Here’s a little from near the beginning of the book:
"Look at me."
The words I had been half hoping for, half dreading. Would he be able to tell what I was thinking? I opened my eyes and looked up at him, letting him see how vulnerable I was before him and how much I wanted to please him. The expression on his face almost stopped my breath. There was so much love in his eyes, such emotion, and I swallowed against the lump in my throat and blinked back tears of joy mixed sickeningly with guilt. How very much I loved this man, and what I had done to him…
He swept me into his arms and kissed me hard, his hands roaming my body again. Our tongues tangled; his determinedly invading my mouth, mine softly yielding to his touch. I leaned against him, wishing that I could hold him too. I pressed my body against his, wanting to show him how much he meant to me, hoping that would be enough.
He broke the kiss and moved slightly, his hand slipping between our bodies to tease me between my legs again. I was soaking wet. How could I be otherwise? He did not even need to touch me to provoke this reaction. When we were together, his presence was enough and, when apart, just the thought of him was all I needed. My body was not mine any more. It responded to him, ached for him, whether I would wish it or not. I could deny him nothing.
He lifted his hand to my mouth; his fingers wet, and gently painted my lips with my own juices. I tasted my arousal on my tongue but would have no more dared to wipe it away, than I would think to say ‘no’ to him. I stood with my mouth open, my juices trickling down my chin, awaiting his pleasure.
He pressed his fingers further into my mouth, probing deeply and I tried to relax, to let him penetrate where he would, but I choked as his finger reached the back of my mouth. “No,” he yelled and I shrank back, mortified that I had not been able to give him what he required of me. I hurried to open my mouth again, concentrating hard on relaxing my throat, and this time I was fully open to him.
He removed his hand from my mouth and lifted my dress, stroking and exploring my breasts. I licked his fingers when asked and he circled my nipples so lightly and tenderly that it was almost difficult to believe that he could ever hurt me.
His touch on my breasts roughened and he gripped them tightly, crushing my nipples. I closed my eyes, torn once again between pain and pleasure; so aroused it was close to unbearable. My knees weakened and I leaned against him, my head resting against his shoulder. I could feel the hard length of his cock pressing against my hip and I moved just a little against it, hoping, despite what I’d done, that this time he would use my body; that I would feel him deep inside me.

Wow that was hot! I don't know about everyone else but I can't wait to read more. Thank you so much for visiting with me today. I hope you enjoyed yourselves. I know I did!

Liv: Oh we did! We had such a lot of fun answering the questions. You even managed to get Mr Grumpypants in a good mood! Thank you for having us.

Domitri: My dear Constance, it has been a pleasure to answer such intelligent and searching questions.

Thank you Domitri! You're both very welcome. I hope you'll come back and visit when the next book in your series comes out. I'd love to hear all about it.

Saturday Spankings!!!

Today for my snippet I’m going to share something from His Firm Guidance. In this scene Whitney is pleasuring herself while imagining what Tyler saw and felt when they’d stopped at the motel on the way to his parent’s house. Now that was a spanking she’d enjoyed…

She wondered what Tyler must have seen and felt while he was spanking her that night.  Her soft bottom cheeks flattening and bouncing with each spank? Could he feel the heat of her skin as her bottom coloured under his hand? He must have been able to see her glistening girly parts as she squirmed around on his lap. SHE could almost feel that sting AND when he'd fingered her with one hand while spanking her with the other…

It came on her quickly. Blood rushed through her veins en route to her sensitive core.

Saturday Spankings!

This is slightly longer than eight sentences but that’s just because this is the last excerpt from The Grass Could Be Greener so I hope none of you mind, especially you Mistress Blake.  I didn’t want to break this scene. It was one of my favourites to write. This scene follows on from last week where Sarah  was remembering a time when Joe helped her to feel better when her self esteem was low. After splattering her bottom with another round of smacks he leads her over to the mirror to show her why he finds her beautiful.

Positioned in front of the mirror with Joe behind her, Sarah did her best to look atherself, but it wasn’t easy. She smiled when he ran both hands down her shiny locks.

“I love your hair,” he said, pulling his fingertips down a long strand, straightening the curl as he went until finally he came to the ends just above her warm just spanked bottom.

The adoring treatment of her hair with the loving look he gave her melted her enough that when his hands move back up to her face she was relaxed enough to listen.

“These tiny creases here and here?” he said, touching the small lines near her eyes and mouth with a feather-like touch, “are there because you smile. A lot. You smile at your children when you’re teaching them, when you’re listening to them and laughing.”

“Oh Joe,” she said, but the hands had moved down her neck and settled to cup each breast.

“I love these breasts. Warm and full. I love the way your nipples still harden like this,” He pinched the hardened nubs lightly. “when you’re aroused.”
“Joe!” she said, blushing furiously.

He smiled widely. “I love that you still flush with embarrassment at the slightest little thing.” His hands trailed down her belly, stopping to cradle her soft flesh. “This is where our babies grew, safe and warm in their mother’s body. You grew four whole human beings in here.”

“They’re not in there anymore, Joe,” she said, jumping as his hand clapped off her bottom renewing the sting that had just started to fade.

“I love to feel your curves,” he said, the tips of his fingers gliding from the gentle swell of her belly to tug at the neat line of curls on the delicate skin of her mons. He parted her lips and his fingers dipped inside her. “And this, always so wet and welcoming.”

Don’t forget to go and take a look at all the other wonderful excerpts

Maddie Taylor, Sent to the Dungeon for Being Naughty!

Hi Maddie! So nice of you to find time to come and talk to us today.

Thank you so much for inviting me. This is my first blog spot and I am very excited.

You have two books published so far is that right?

Yes. I have 2 books in a planned 6 book series called Club Decadence. My debut book was Captain My Captain and came out in March. You Said for ever is book 2 and followed at the end of May.
I also have 3 more accepted for publication by Blushing Books Publishing.

I believe you ran into a little bit of trouble with censorship. Would you like to tell us what happened?

Oh yes! Captain My Captain was flying off the virtual shelves at Blushing Books Publishing and at Amazon. I was thrilled. I had heard that new authors were lucky to sell 500 copies of a debut novel and mine had sold twice that many in just a month. I even hit the Amazon’s Erotica top 100 at #72. I about freaked I was so excited.
Then, along came book 2 suddenly my sales rankings started to drop sink like a brick. I went from a ranking consistently between 1200-3000 in May to 100,000 in June. I couldn’t figure out what was happening and why.
Fortunately, Bethany, my very wise publisher over at Blushing Books figured out the problem. My second book had been tagged as ADULT. At the same time that same censor (I’m not sure what else to call the busy bee at Amazon) went back and tagged Captain as ADULT, too. The problem we found out was the cover art was too sexy and suggestive. Here they are:

If you ask me, Book 1 is so much racier than book 2 and it passed through on release without any problems. It just goes to prove that there is no rhyme or reason to what gets tagged and what doesn’t.

Can you even tell why they tagged it as ADULT?

I had to look really close, too. See her hand down his pants? Well its actually her fingers in his waistband. That prompted the Amazon prude, I mean the nice person working at Amazon, to look at Captain and the “O” face got me the same treatment as well. Instant adult tag. Go directly to the Amazon Dungeon for naughty authors, do not pass go, etc.

Let me take a minute to explain the Dungeon. Unlike the dungeons in my novels,the Amazon version is no fun for an author. Once a book is tagged it is blocked from all those helpful tools on amazon like recommendations to readers, customers who bought this item also bought, and in the search bar you have to type the authors name and the title of the book to find it. Just typing Maddie Taylor brought up no links to my books.
It was very frustrating. And to make matters worse, the author and publisher are never even told when the book gets tagged that way. Some other authors and publishers have blogged about this as well. You can read more at http://disciplinedwriter.com/?cat=3

So now the problem has been identified it's full steam ahead. Why don't you tell us about Captain, My Captain.

Yes. You Said Forever’s cover was altered very slightly by raising the banner which hides the naughty hand. 

Amazon links now

Captain My Captain

Captain My Captain UK

Captain had to be changed entirely. How do you get rid of the “O” face and the hand on her breast? So here is the new cover. It is nice, but I wanted hot, sexy and steamy like my H/h in the book.

I really loved the first cover and was very disappointed. It was my first book and very personal for me. Fortunately, the original cover is still available on www.blushingbooks.com. And even http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/captain-my-captain-maddie-taylor/1115098203?ean=2940016749273 which is more proof of a widely varying industry standard.

My series is about a group of US Army Special Forces soldiers aka Green Berets. They are strong, sexy dominant men who are looking for their one, their special submissive. In Captain My Captain, the hero is Tony “Cap” Rossi. He commands the elite A Team of Green Berets through years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book begins when they retire and his men follow their Captain to San Antonio, Texas to join him at the start up of a private security business. There is lots of danger, intrigue, and bad guys operating through a Mexican drug cartel.
As a side business, the six of them open a private nightclub and you guessed right, it is a BDSM club. So we get to watch these sexy men work and play. And do they ever play.
Captain My Captain is a love story. Cap finally claims Megan, a girl he has loved for 15 years. He has kept his distance because he didn’t think it was fair to claim her when his first priority was his job; a dangerous job that kept him abroad for months and years on end with no guarantees he will return. But when he comes home for good, the gloves are off. And so are the bras and panties. LOL There is lots of spanking, both good girl and bad girl spankings as well as Cap introducing an eager Megan into the BDSM scene.

Do you think you write much of yourself into your characters?

Yes and no. Yes in that I think the sass and humor is all me. I also like to play. I have been married to my beloved for over two decades and have found that you have to play and be happy. Life is too serious much of the time.

The no part is that I know that my heroine’s are much braver than me. It is fantasy after all but I’m sorry 20 swats with a Lexan paddle would have me yowling for mercy, long before Megan ever cried uncle.

What made you choose to write Spanking Fiction?

That is my kink. I have always fantasized about it. Even as a child, playing dolls with friends the naughty girls got spanked. It’s funny though, because there was no corporal punishment for me as a child. Other than two years of Catholic school, but that’s a whole other story.
I wrote about my feelings on the subject in You Said Forever:

… A spanking had an oddly calming effect on her that often lingered for days, plus she loved the aftercare. So, she often antagonized him to get the spanking she knew she needed. As a college educated woman, this seemed counterintuitive. Why not just ask for a spanking or go straight to the aftercare? She had tried to research the psychology behind her need for discipline, but had never come up with a convincing theory. She’d had a happy childhood with loving parents; no abuse, neglect or even any drama. When she’d asked her experienced Dom about it he said; “Everybody’s wired differently, baby. No need to wonder why, just buckle up and enjoy the ride.”

What is the thing you find hardest about writing this genre?

My mind is switched on all the time. I get ideas constantly in the car driving, in the middle of the night, and in the shower. I get a lot of ideas in the shower <blush>. When I get an idea I have to write it down. So I have scenes written on scrap paper in my car on napkins or I just pull out my laptop and start writing.
The hardest part is learning the business of writing, not the actual writing or the genre. I have learned to use proofreading soft wear because I know typos drive readers crazy. I have also learned to phone friend and send her my story before its submitted. Sometimes a different set of eyes can tell you what works and what doesn’t. And see what your eyes miss because your brain is filling in what you wanted to write not what is actually on the screen.
Can I give a big thank you to my beta readers L.A. Cloutier and just recently Dinah McLeod? They both helped me on my most recent submissions. L.A. has been a godsend. As a new author we have teamed up to share thoughts, ideas, etc. And of course, Victoria my editor over at Blushing Books is wonderful. Her patience and feedback has been invaluable.

What's next for Maddie Taylor?

So many things. How much time do we have? <Giggle>
A prequel to the Club Decadence series called; Faithfully. It will be offered as a Kindle Select which will be exclusive to Amazon for 90 days after its release. During that time it will be offered for free for up to 5 days. Otherwise it will be at a great low price. I am hoping that it will give readers a taste for more Decadence.

Little Light of Mine, Book 3 will be released sometime after Faithfully. It is Dex and Elena’s story and has some very heart wrenching scenes like You Said Forever did. Oh and Dex is a master with the single tail. I think fans will eat up The Club’s sexy Master Dom with a spoon.
I also have a Victorian spanking romance titled “Surrender Your Grace” that’s in the works. My first venture out of my contemporary comfort zone that I hope everyone will enjoy. Want a teaser? Can you say birch rod? Ouch.
Oh and The Gift, which is currently exclusive to Bethany’s Woodshed right now. You can check out chapter one for free at www.herwoodshed.com. Or it will be released on www.blushingbooks.com and Amazon this fall.
And finally, I have a Medieval time travel in the works as well.
As you can see, my busy brain is full of fantasy that I just got to find an outlet for before I kill my poor exhausted husband.

Lastly, five quick questions so we can get to know you a little better.

Favorite TV show?

The Following. So dark and twisted. I love to hate Joe Carroll but love to love me some Kevin Bacon.

Favorite food?

Shrimp fettucini Alfredo; my guilty pleasure.

Most embarrassing moment?

I had to stop and think about that one there are so many. I have it… My son’s best friend (an adult) walked in the back door when I had a very inappropriate video playing on my laptop. I couldn’t get it to stop as luck would have my accursed laptop froze up just then. The oohs and aahs just echoed through the room. Well after that we acted like nothing even happened. That was over a year ago and I still see him several times a week and we have never spoken of it. He doesn’t know I write about that kind of thing. It would melt a few circuits in his 22 year old brain.
Hey! I was doing research… really!

Favorite author?

There are so many. But in this genre, I’d have to say Cherise Sinclair. I fell in lust with Master Z in the Shadowlands and have gone back to visit him many times and always leave with damp panties. I’m such a naughty girl.
I just had to have a club full of Doms of my very own. So thank you Cherise for inspiring Club Decadence.

When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?

A lawyer. HA! Did I veer off course or what? I’ve always thought corporal punishment for offenders would be highly effective tool in our legal system. If it works in some marriages its worth a try on those DUI repeat offenders. I’ll even lend the bailiff our paddle.
Maybe I’ll write a book about that.

Thanks so much for coming to talk to us today Maddie. It's been fun and very informative.

Thanks for inviting me Constance. It was fun. Thank you also for reaching out to a new author with a friendly welcome, a sincere offer of advice and a wonderful platform to share my thoughts.

Come and Join Us For Saturday Spankings!

Today for my Saturday Spankings excerpt I’m sharing the eight sentences from The Grass Could Be Greener that follow last week. I hope you’re not sick of it but I hate to leave it in the middle. I hope you don’t mind , I went slightly over but a few of my sentences were really small.

“What you can’t do is lie about it.” Joe pulled her over his knee and brought his hand down sharply in a fluid movement, first to one cheek and then to the other. 

“If you need something, you have to say!”

“I’m sorry!” she wailed, mortified that he was staring at the very object of her displeasure, her fat bottom. She could only imagine how it wiggled and wobbled like a jello mould at Thanksgiving. It’d be the colour of cranberry jello by the time he was finished with it. “Yeow, Joe, it hurts!”

“There is no reason you have to pretend you’re sick to get out of church!” Several more hard smacks landed on the wiggling target.

“Stop, Joe, please!” she said, kicking her legs wildly in a vain attempt to get away from that punishing hand.

“We have to trust each other,” he lectured, punctuating each word with a sharp whack to each thigh.

“I will, Joe, please!” she said “Please.”

Come and Join Us For Some Saturday Spanking Snippets!

Saturday Spankings is a blog hop where writers share eight sentences of their work. Today I’m continuing from where I left off last week with The Grass Could Be Greener. 

“Why would you lie? “
“You know why.”
“If I ask you a question, it’s because I want to hear you answer it.”
“Nothing fits me! I hate still having to wear maternity dresses to church.”
“Why on earth didn’t you tell me that you needed clothes?”
“I just couldn’t. I couldn’t say to you that I was so fat that I had nothing to wear. I don’t even want bigger clothes! I just want to fit into my old clothes.”
“You can say anything to me,” Joe said with a thread of emotion cutting into his
normally clear voice.
“I know,” she said. The hurt in his voice was making her feel terrible.
