Welcome to Saturday Spankings. In today’s snippet from On the River, we pick up nearly where we left off last week with Cassie telling Allie and Jenny about a fight she had once had with Sue. Tom had given Cassie a serious spanking for over drinking and other actions of the night before. Afterward a long talk he had then ordered lunch for Cassie, Sue and Annie in their suite and he went with the other men to work on their presentation for the morning.
“Tom headed to Andy’s room and the girls joined me. Sue looked a little worse for wear, as I’m sure I did.”
“As I remember it, I felt like shit and I thought my head would explode,” Sue said with a grimace.
“Annie was kind enough not to ask how we were feeling.” Cassie added. “But Sue not only looked sick, but she also seemed to be in a foul mood almost the moment she walked through the door. We could tell she was mad as hell about something, but we didn’t have any idea what.
“When lunch came, I had to sit, but I didn’t want to. Tom had spanked me thoroughly and I’m sure I winced as I sat. I couldn’t help it.
“Annie tried keeping up a little small talk. Neither Sue nor I helped much. We had barely gotten started when Sue seemed to explode. ‘That sorry son-of-a-bitch! I’m gonna kick his ass!’”
Sue grinned at her friends and said, “Surely, I didn’t curse. You know I never use bad language.”
Cassie laughed at Sue and continued. “Annie and I were shocked by how angry she was. But we were at a total loss. I was thinking, what in the world had Steve done to her? He certainly didn’t spank at that time. I remembered shrinking back away from her anger as I asked, ‘What the hell did he do?’
“Sue jumped to her feet. Obviously, she was just too angry to sit. She started shouting, ‘That bastard beat you and I’m not putting up with it this time!’
“I was a little hung over, and my brain might not have been following as fast as it could have been, but I was lost. I stood too. I wanted to help her – she was so distraught, but she wasn’t making any sense.
“Looking at me with fire in her eyes, she kept yelling, ‘I know that asshole Tom beat the shit out of you, but you don’t even tell us? You just take it? We’re supposed to ignore the fact that you’ve been crying? That you wince every time you move? You need to leave that bastard until he gets his temper under control. I can’t go through this shit again.’
“It was only then that I finally realized what she was saying. Actually, she was saying two things – one was crazy and the other… the other, I couldn’t even let myself begin to think where she was going with that.”
“They were scaring me,” Annie said. “Honest, I don’t think I’d ever seen the two of them any madder.”
“I’d heard all I was going to listen to,” Cassie continued. “I tried to control my anger, really I did. I told her she was lying and to shut her damn mouth and that Tom certainly did not beat me. ‘That’s absurd and you know it,’ I told her.
“Then she yelled, ‘He didn’t beat you? Sit down! I want to see you plop down in that chair.’
“I told her to get the hell out of my room. I was nearly growling.”
“I remember the room getting so quiet,” Annie told everyone. “They were just staring at one another. I wanted to get between them. I felt like I needed to, but I was honestly too scared to try it.”
Cassie looked thoughtful as she went on. “I remember Sue saying something like, ‘I love you. You know that. But he’s hurting you. I can’t ignore that.’
“We had barely discussed spanking at that time. I mean she knew it occasionally happened, and of course there was what she’d witnessed on the cruise, but… Anyway, I told her something like, ‘Tom does not beat me. Our marriage is different. We do things our own way. I’m fine with it. You know we’re happy. Why are you doing this?’
“But she was right back at me, calling me a doormat. Then I remember exactly what she said.”
Cassie looked over at Sue who looked the slightest bit embarrassed. “She said to me,” Cassie went on, “‘He’s convinced you that he has the right to beat you and you’re such an idiot that you’ve bought into it. I can’t stand by and watch again. Tom’s no better than ...’”
Cassie paused, surveying her audience. “And that’s when she did it.
“She said my first husband’s name.
“It’s not a common one. I never hear it and I sure as hell never want to. I never mention him by name, he doesn’t deserve it. But she didn’t just say the name, she said it in the same breath as my wonderful Tom. She actually said that Tom was the same as … him!”
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.
