Power and Arousal - Regency Spanking story #SatSpanks

I have another teaser today from my upcoming Regency romance Worth Any Bet.  Our lively heroine is being spanked for manipulating her husband into attending a political dinner party.  Unfortunately for her, it turns into a slippering.  Maybe I'll give you that part next week...

She returned to stand before him. He patted his knee. Her eyes turned pleading, but when he frowned, she hastened to fold her body over his lap for punishment. He lifted her skirts and petticoats over her back and remembered to reach inside her chemise to free the laces of her corset so she wouldn't swoon. The slit in her drawers was gaping open, and he was able to simply part the two sides to bare her pretty cheeks.

It was utterly intoxicating to have his wife bent over his lap this way. The feel of her soft small form pressing on his legs, her most intimate parts exposed for his chastisement, imparted a heady mixture of power and arousal.

Callie's Reckoning by Mary Sue Wehr - A spanking short


Today I would love to introduce you to my friend Mary Sue Wehr, an erotic romance author who I "met" on Facebook.  She very recently got hooked on spanking and has just published her own first spanking short story called Callie's Reckoning, which I promptly bought after reading her teasers on the Saturday Spankings.  It's a quick, fun read about a fiesty girlfriend who gets taken over her fiance's knee.  Here's what Mary Sue has to say about it:


Thank you, Renee, for having me on your blog. LOL, I blame you for getting me hooked on Spanking Romance and Domestic Discipline. I downloaded ‘Betrothed’ and I was hooked now I can’t get enough!
I also love other genre’s as long as the hero is commanding and stern yet isn't afraid to show a soft side for his lady. Sometimes he may hide that soft side especially if his lady does something that places her in harm's way. If she does do something he had previously warned her not to do then that's even better;) A heroine with oodles of sass makes the story much more interesting don’t you think?

‘Callie’s Reckoning’ is a Domestic Discipline short story. I’ve included the blurb and excerpt…enjoy!
Blurb:
Callie Shaw was all set to enter into a Head of the Household marriage with Brandon Clay. What lady could refuse to be disciplined by the tall, hot, sexy lawyer? But first she needed to put her boss in his place. Her suspicions were all she had to go on but she wouldn’t rest until she found proof and Harry Bailey ended up in jail for sexual harassment.

Brandon was up to his neck in trouble and one tiny redhead with shocking green eyes possessed the tendency to get under his skin. He’d let things slide too far. But when Callie puts her safety on the line, Brandon intends to show her who’s boss.
.
Excerpt:
Brandon discovers that Callie went back on her word and he is furious.

Brandon raked a hand through his hair and narrowed his gaze. Callie and her best friend, Colleen, had their heads together. Clearly, Callie was thinking up a plan. He knew his little lady oh so well. If she thought she could sneak out of here without him knowing, she was dead wrong. The question was, would Colleen be easily swayed to help her? With the grace of a panther, he weaved in and out of the crowd and took a seat by the men Callie had just served. Callie being such a caring person was one of the many things he loved about her. She was beautiful and so full of life, but cornering her boss by herself was asking for trouble. If only she’d step back and calmly access a situation instead of diving in head-first. But that was his Callie. He should have known her quick acquiescence was too good to be true. She had readily agreed to quit her job and he’d fallen for it. Brandon wouldn’t be caught with his pants down again.
He gritted his teeth and sighed. He didn’t mind her working, but not for a sleazy boss who required his servers to wear such skimpy outfits. Her bra did nothing to conceal the flesh straining against the thin fabric of her shirt. Her large, pink nipples were visible for all to see. Hungry looks were written all over the male customers’ faces which made Brandon scowl. Obviously, he wasn’t the only one focusing on those tits. And if her black shorts got any shorter, everyone would know her flame colored mane didn’t come from a bottle. His dick pressed against his zipper. Down boy. Now wasn’t the time to think about fucking. It was time to administer some good old-fashioned discipline. But first he needed to get her out of here. No matter how angry he was, he refused to embarrass her in public.

Author Bio:

She lives in northeastern Pennsylvania with her husband, pet dove, and guinea pig. She has one grown daughter. Mary has a soft spot for animals.

Today's the Day!! Coming to Terms Domestic Discipline Anthology Release

$4.99 on Amazon

It's out and it's already in Amzon's top 10!  The Domestic Discipline Anthology Coming to Terms is now available for sale! 

Here's the scoop on my story:

Spank and Run

One moment Claire's life was perfectly normal, in a living alone, vanilla sort of way. In the next, her casita was torn apart in a burglary, her client (the mayor of her small town) discovered her spanking implements, and she was over his knee for a bare-bottomed hairbrushing! But despite her overwhelming attraction to Luis Valdez, the tall, handsome politician who had taken an interest in her backside, Claire doesn't roll that way. She wants a serious, domestic discipline relationship — not just erotic spanky fun. Can she and the mayor come to terms? 

Excerpt
“You wait here while we check it out,” Officer Mora told her. She nodded mutely and sank onto the wooden bench outside her adobe casita. The mayor sat down next to her companionably, leaning back and crossing his long, elegant legs as if lounging near crime scenes was the most normal of affairs for him.

She stole a look at his handsome profile. He resembled Benicio del Toro, wearing his hair a bit shaggy, which was ultra-sexy when coupled with the button-down shirts. He had eyes the color of milk chocolate and dimples that appeared when he flashed his white-toothed smile. She would guess him to be in his mid-forties, which wasn't that much older than her thirty-three. His gaze slid to hers and, caught peeking, she immediately flicked hers down to her shoes. He put an arm behind her on the bench and gave her shoulder a squeeze. It was a casual gesture, yet felt too familiar considering their relationship. He'd never been the sort of client she hugged at the end of a session-- they had always been on strictly professional terms. This breach of his usual stand-offish demeanor made her pulse quicken. What had caused the change?

The officers returned about ten minutes later, addressing the mayor again, despite the fact that it was her home that had been burgled. It was your typical machismo, and it grated on her feminist nerves. To her surprise, the mayor looked over and gave her a quick wink, as if he understood her frustration. Her irritation evaporated as abruptly as it had appeared.

“Ma'am, I wouldn't stay here alone tonight, if I were you-- unless you can get a new door installed,” Officer Mora said, addressing her directly for the first time. “Do you rent this place or own it?”

“I rent,” she moaned. And her landlord lived in Colorado, which didn't bode well for getting the door fixed quickly. Her belly tightened painfully as she realized her predicament-- she wasn't safe to stay in her own place, but if she left, all her remaining property would be vulnerable to further thieving. Panic closed her chest, renewing the sense of violation and anger toward the hoodlums who had put her in this position.

“Well, you'd better call your landlord to fix it, and find someone to spend the night here with you so you're not alone.”

“She won't be alone,” the mayor said with great authority, shocking her right down to the soles of her feet. “I'm spending the night.”

It's my Author-versary! My first DD spanking story was published one year ago

My first spanking romance-- my first book of any kind--was published a year ago!

Publishing Betrothed was an absolute life-changer for me. I'd been working for a year on a mainstream romance novel (one of these days I'm going to turn it into a spanking romance) when I accidentally discovered spanking romance. I think the sequence of events was something like this-- I was perusing the blog Smart Bitches Trashy Novels for recommendations for a good romance, when I came across a link they had posted in outrage to a "how to spank your wife" DD site.

Being a life-long closeted spanko, I clicked over and promptly spent the next two days reading everything I could about DD in between, um, creating my own happy endings (sorry, TMI). From there, I somehow discovered that there were spanking romance books, and I heard the angels sounding their bugles from heaven.

I quickly dumped the epic romance that was going nowhere, penned Betrothed in six days, sent it off to James Johnson, who was then at Blushing books, and it was published two weeks later. Sometimes when things are meant to be, they're meant to be. To make sure I didn't stray from my new life calling, the universe made sure that Betrothed was a success. Although it never hit the top 100 ranking, its sales were steady for six months, and I'm pretty sure it's still my all-time best seller. Not bad for six days' work, right?  Too bad the rest haven't been so easy...

Having a spanking romance published naturally forced me to open up to my husband about my kink, which has empowered both of us in so many incredible ways. It also spurred me to start this blog, where I met all of you incredible people. What an amazing year!

Thank you all for being a part of my journey. I treasure you as much as I treasure my real life friends.  

love love love.

That much love

Photo by Jade Beall
The journey to holding my first child was a long one. It took a a few years to get pregnant at all and when I did, I lost the first child (and another later).  My baby shower for my daughter was huge-- so many people were rallying around me, having witnessed my long struggle and passionate desire to have a baby.  My mom flew out for it, and we were all gathered in a giant circle at a friend's house. I can't remember what prompted it, but all the women who'd already given birth were sharing their moment--the one that seems to happen within the first week of giving birth-- when your love for your baby is so strong you just weep with the overwhelming joy of it.

When it was my mom's turn and she said to me, "Just remember, when you're holding your baby in your arms, that the love you feel for her, is the same love I felt for you."

It was a simple statement. Maybe it seems like an obvious one, but it wasn't.  Because at that moment, I realized for the first time, how profoundly I had been loved.  I knew how much I already loved my unborn child, how much I would love her.  And to think that I had been loved that much...well, that was a shocker. 

My own special moment came exactly one week after my daughter was born.  My husband had left before we were awake, so he called from work to wish her a happy one week birthday. Realizing we truly had a baby-- our very own baby who was already one week old,  I started sobbing uncontrollably, overcome with the grace of birth.

I've been having a hard time with all the posts about mothers, and anticipating celebrating my first mother's day without one. 

I love you, mom.

Swooning during her spanking - #SatSpanks

Picking up where I left off last week with my new Regency spanking story tentatively titled Worth Any Bet-- Kitty has just been spanked by her fiance Lord Westerfield for getting drunk at a ball. As it turns out, he forgot about corsets and breathing and she swooned during the spanking. Here's what happens next:


Kitty blinked up at the worried face of Lord Westerfield. She appeared to be on the floor, cradled in his arms. Her bottom was throbbing—a tingling burn to remind her of the humiliating position in which she had just been.

“You fainted,” he explained at once. “I opened your corset so you could breathe.”

“Oh,” she said, coming to a full realization of her new predicament. Though her dress was still on, the bodice was unhooked in the back, her corset was unlaced, and her drawers were still down around her thighs.

A hysterical giggle bubbled up in her throat.

“I'm sorry. I should have considered the effect of discipline on your breathing before I took you over my knee. That was very stupid of me.”

Watching Porn Together

I think the generally accepted theory is that men are more visual when it comes to arousal, whereas women are more emotionally driven. So men watch porn and women read smutty novels.  Or something like that, anyway.
Copyright (C) 123rf Stock Photos

In my house that's true.  My husband enjoys watching porn and I read (write) the spanking smut. But, as part of our "twice the sex" challenge, we decided to see if we could find some porn to watch together-- something we both might enjoy.

Porn can be overstimulating for women.  Things I like to imagine, I don't really want to see. That said, I do wander over to spankingtube.com to get my fix now and again.  If you have a favorite from there, let me know. I have a couple favorites, oh, and I have a favorite video I posted on my tumblr, too.  I'm easy to find-- Renee Rose.Anyway, those don't do anything for my husband, who is not vanilla, but is not kinked with the spank like me. He calls those videos "hard core".  (Funny how we have different limits, eh?)   As you may remember from my threesomes post, he's into the multiple female or group sex scenarios.  Anyway, for our "porn night" he did a great job of finding  videos that would interest both of us.  They included domination, spanking and more than one woman-- a recipe for success.

My favorite was a video from sexanddomination.com -When I went to find the link just now for you  I had that over-stimulation reaction that made me grateful that he was the one who had searched out the videos for us to watch. Anyway, it's an hour long and posted for free  here http://www.xvideos.com/video3743148/the_vampire_bondage_fantasy   It was a vampire scenario-- a newly bitten woman is taken to the dungeon for training.  I guess it was your typical BDSM dungeon storyline, and I'm not a fan of these in BDSM fiction, but for a compromise with DH, it was a good pick.  There was a heirarchy among the vampires, so there was domination all around-- three women and a man.  Some of the highlights were that the women all had real boobs and all four of them were pretty hot.  From there, there was all kinds of great stuff-- spanking, hair pulling, "forced" sex acts, "forced" pleasure, bondage, etc.  After a while it was just a bunch of sex, and I was glad that my husband got as bored with that as I did, and we moved onto some others.

We "enjoyed" ourselves while we watched,  which rather drew out our own scenes.  I would say definitely a thumbs up to the activity. Not something I'd want to do all the time, but a fun new thing to try together.
