See the instructions for entering at the end of this post.

And now, without further ado, I present my free spanking story-- a bonus spanking with Lord Westerfield and Kitty, the characters from The Westerfield Affair...


Disobedience at the Dressmaker's


“Kitty,” Lord Westerfield said with a deep furrow between his brows. “Didn't I just forbid you to have any new ball gowns made without first asking my consent?” He was holding a bill in his hand, which must have just arrived from the dressmaker's.

A knot twisted in her stomach. She'd fretted all week over her brash rebellion, in which she had purposely disobeyed him out of ire. She'd seen the folly of her actions as soon she'd acted, but by then it was already too late. Her ribs pressed against the boning of her corset as she filled her lungs and blew out her breath. All the snappish retorts she'd prepared to throw at him on that day dissolved and no words rose to take their place. “Oh—well...I must have ordered those before you forbade it,” she stammered.

He frowned at the date on the bill and then looked up, eyes blazing. “Are you lying to me?” he demanded incredulously.

She winced, shocked back into good sense. “Yes, that was a lie, but I wish it were true,” she confessed with her more characteristic frankness. “I...” she pursed her lips. “I ordered the gowns without permission because I was angry with you. It was a foolish thing to do.”

Harry looked mystified. “Angry? Over what?”

Her jaw tightened, her anger still unabated. “The letters,” she hissed. “In your dresser.”

Comprehension dawned on his face. A week earlier, she'd discovered a box of letters in his drawer written in a female scrawl, calling him “dearest Harry.” Her fingers had turned ice cold as she plucked out the pages one by one, turning them over to catch damning declarations of love. “Harry?” she'd croaked, her throat constricted. “What are these?”

He'd glanced over from where he was donning his cufflinks and smiled, as if a box of letters from another woman was something amusing. “Ah, those are from Catherine Hart, my childhood sweetheart.”

“Who?” she'd demanded.

“My first lover. A girl from the village where I grew up.”

Her fingers had trembled as she unfolded one of the letters, scanning for a date. Harry appeared entirely unconcerned. “Are you still in contact with her?”

He'd snorted. “Don't be ridiculous. I went to university and she married a village boy. I haven't even seen her in at least ten years.”

“Throw them away,” she'd demanded, thrusting the box at him.

“What? No. I like to remember.”

Her heart had slammed against her ribs. “Then I will throw them out. There's no reason for you to keep them!”

“I wish to keep them, Kitty. Now put them back,” he'd commanded, his voice and gaze growing firm.

She'd stared at him, angry heat rolling over her in waves, alternating with chills.

Seeing her defiance, he pointed back at the dresser and raised an eyebrow. “Put them back, Kitty.”

He looked at her now, considering, the angles of his face still hardened from anger. “Go and fetch the letters,” he ordered.

“What?”

He did not repeat himself, but merely leveled her with a stare that turned the soles of her feet itchy. She whirled with a toss of her hair and marched out of the room, defiantly obedient. When she returned with the letters, he'd taken a seat on the settee, from which he beckoned her. She thrust the bundle of letters into his hand, the skin of her face tightened with emotion. He flung them into the fire without a word.

She spun around to witness their demise, surprised at this unexpected turn. Silence stretched between them as she stared at the curling pages, sensing his gaze upon her. A tug on her wrist pulled her down into his lap.

“Kitty,” he began, a caress in his voice. “I'm sorry. I did not mean to hurt you with those. I thought you knew that you are the only woman I have ever loved.”

Her eyes filled with tears, but pride made her look stubbornly away. He caught her face and turned it, tenderness in his gaze. “I should have allowed you to throw them away. I apologize. She means nothing to me—it was a fond memory of coming into my manhood, but I can see how keeping those letters would offend you.” He stroked her lower lip with his thumb. “I was madly jealous when I thought you had feelings for Lord Fenton,” he said, referring to her best friend's brother with whom she had once purposely sparked Harry's jealousy. “I should have realized you would feel the same way.”

Her chin quivered and she lowered it to hide the betrayal of emotion, but his hand cupped and lifted it. “You were angry so you punished me by ordering dresses?” She thought she detected a trace of amusement on his face.

“Well, I was defying you. I have no doubt it's my backside that will be punished,” she said wryly.

“If I'd known you were willing to get your bottom blistered over those letters, I would've burned them when you asked me the first time.”

Her face grew warm. “Thank you,” she mumbled.

He leaned back on the settee, his fingers interlaced around her waist. “What should you have done, instead?”

She swallowed and lifted her eyes to his. “I should have told you how angry I was.”

He nodded. “You must remember I'm daft when it comes to understanding women.”

She nodded. They'd had this conversation before.

“How shall I punish you?”

She chewed her lip. Was this a real question? Or rhetorical? She stole a glance at his handsome face. He seemed to be awaiting an answer.

“With a very small spanking?” she suggested.

His lips twitched but he shook his head. “I don't think so, kitten. Not a very small one. You disobeyed me and you lied. It was the lie that most offended me.”

She shook her head. “That was very foolish. I apologize.”

He nodded. “If you had not come clean immediately, I would switch you,” he said, threatening the implement that most terrified her. “I think I will spank you once for the lie and once for the dresses.”

She shuddered.

“Come, let's go to the bedroom,” he said, nudging her to stand. He wrapped an arm around her to guide her out, as if he knew that her knees wobbled beneath her. “Don't swoon on me,” he murmured in her ear. When they reached their room, he turned her around and unhooked her dress and corset. “Take off all your clothes and bend over the side of the bed,” he commanded, then left.

The air in the room seemed to leave with him. Kitty stood in the emptiness, needy of his presence despite her mounting fear of the two spankings he'd promised. With effort, she made the statue of her body move, stripping her clothing and bending over the bed as he commanded, cringing at the vulnerability of her position, her bared bottom facing the door so that anyone who entered or who was passing by when her husband entered might see it.

******
Harry fetched a large wooden spoon from the kitchen, earning shocked looks from the cook and serving girl. He opened the bedroom door and drew in his breath at the intoxicating sight of his wife prostrate over the bed. It was this very view that had tempted him into taking her before they married, adding to the scandal surrounding their engagement.

His Lady Westerfield was maddening and frustrating and absolutely adorable. He loved her with his whole heart, and he regretted that his actions had hurt her. Still, he couldn't allow her misbehavior to go unpunished. He shut the door and stood behind her, running his hand over the soft skin of her bottom. “How many strokes, Kitty?”

“Ten?” she suggested hopefully.

He chuckled. “I don't think so. Let's say fifty for the lie, and we'll deal with the dresses when they arrive. You can put them on and prance around for me. Do you know what they do to horses to make them show better?”

Kitty turned to look over her shoulder, a wrinkle between her brows. “No.”

“They put a piece of ginger in their arse. It's called figging. It makes them step lively. I imagine it will make for a memorable experience.”

“Har-ry,” Kitty groaned, burying her face in the quilt and squeezing her cheeks together. He smothered a laugh and gave her bottom a slap, the sound echoing through the room as her body absorbed the impact. He gave her several more slaps with his hand and then switched to the spoon, applying it swiftly, the small surface area making it necessary to repeat the blows in close proximity to cover the lower half of her bottom.

“Ow! Harry!” she protested. After twenty smacks, Kitty reached back with both hands, covering her reddened cheeks, forcing him to stop short to avoid striking her fingers. He lowered his aim and smacked the backs of her thighs instead, earning a howl of protest.

“Kitty, go stand in the corner,” he said.

Kitty scrambled up, looking remorseful. “I'm so sorry,” she pleaded, and rushed to hide her nose where the walls met, her chastised bottom showing the color from his spanking. “I'll be good, I promise. I won't cover.”

He smiled and had to steel himself not to go soft on her. After letting her wait for several minutes, he stood behind her. “You silly, silly woman,” he murmured, wrapping his arms around her from behind. It took great restraint not to explore her bare breasts or stroke her silky skin, but her punishment was not finished.

“Go and climb onto your forearms and knees,” he ordered, guiding her back toward the bed, enjoying the blush that spread across her face. She obeyed, lifting her hips in the humbling position, her knees spread to reveal the tender pink heart of her sex. He closed his eyes to marshal his resolve and then began to reapply the spoon to her backside, the backs of her thighs, and even the tender flesh of her inner thighs. She yelped and whimpered, but true to her promise, held still like a good girl.

When the fifty strokes had been duly applied, he left her in position a few extra minutes to suffer in humiliation and anticipation of further punishment. When he touched her back, she jumped. He pulled her to her side and kicked off his shoes to curl his body around hers.

She took his hand and pulled it up to cover her breast, holding it place with her own. “Your naughty wife is very sorry,” she said, her voice thick. He chuckled and pinched her nipple.

“Tell me that you still love me,” she said, rolling to face him.

“Of course I still love you,” he murmured. “I'm sorry that I hurt you with those letters. I just--didn't understand what they meant to you.”

The tears she had not wept during her spanking now welled in her eyes. That they had come with his apology and not with his punishment made his heart constrict. “Please don't cry--it pains me to see you cry.”

“I can't help it,” she sniffed, the tears rolling from her eyes on a diagonal down her face.

“All right, all right, cry, little kitten. Get it all out.” He said, stroking her hair and arms, holding her close until she began to press her hips against him in a way that did not seem to reflect sadness.

He nuzzled her neck and she looked up at him, eyelashes wet, but eyes hungry. He reached around and cupped her bottom, feeling the heat from her spanking. “This is the bottom of a very naughty wife. Do you know what happens to naughty wives with sore bottoms?”

She giggled. “What?”

“This is what happens,” he growled, roughly squeezing her punished cheeks as he rolled on top of her, smothering her mouth with the promise of a heated kiss.

Lord Westerfield almost gets to 3rd base (Regency spanking story) #SatSpanks

Buy today on Amazon!
Today's teaser is from my new Regency The Westerfield Affair.  After Kitty is turned over her fiance's knee and spanked till she swoons, Lord Westerfield gets a little frisky.

His hand plunged into her skirts, lifting them out of his way and settling on her hip, bared because her drawers were still lowered. She whimpered at her vulnerability--the thought of his fingers touching her bare sex both terrifying and arousing.


A knock at the door made her leap out of his arms and scramble to her feet in pure terror.


“Maury!” she whispered in panic, desperately pulling up her drawers and trying to fasten her corset.


“One more minute, Stanley,” he called out, pulled her toward him and spinning her around, his efficient fingers fastening her corset and gown. “It's all right, I'll take care of it,” he reassured her in a low voice.


She turned back around and her eyes widened at the sight of his untied cravat. Maury opened the door as Lord Westerfield was retying it.

“Westerfield,” Maury said coldly, “You are not married to my sister yet.”

Spankos who don't like being spanked

I know you're out there-- those who like the IDEA of being spanked, but not actually BEING spanked?  I'm talking about that phenomenon over at Natasha Knight's blog.  I forgot to put a call for comments, but let me know if you're one of that breed...

Too legit, Too legit to quit! Check me out in USA Today!

OMG, imagine my excitement today when Patricia Green Facebooked me to say that the The Westerfield Affair,  as well as her new book Correcting Kathy were featured in USA Today's Happily Ever After section!  I feel like I'm finally legitimate!

You know, spanking fiction is the red-headed stepchild of erotica.  Even BDSM is way cooler.  I was talking to Laurie Schnebly Campbell, a romance writer who teaches online courses through Writer U. I asked her if she thought I'd be welcome at a Romance Writer's of America local meeting.  She told me that ten years ago, all of erotica that was considered to be second-class, but now they are just one of the crowd.  She thought in another ten years, it would be the same for spanking fiction.  Then she very sweetly offered to go to a meeting with me my first time, the next time she visited my town (how sweet is that?).  I still haven't gone, but I did join the national chapter. Little by little, I'm getting over my spanko shame.

So anyway, being featured on a the blog of a national newspaper feels legitimizing to me.  Maybe it won't take ten years before we're walking proud amidst the other romance writers!  :)

I am tremendously grateful to  Beth Williamson (Emma Lang)author of Endless Heart. who selected spanking fiction for inclusion in the erotica new releases section of the column!
The Westerfield Affair is presently rocking out in the top 100 for Regency and Historical Romance on Amazon.  Imagine me moon-walking around my living room right now...

I like knowing you might spank - The Westerfield Affair (Regency spanking story) #SatSpanks

Another teaser from The Westerfield Affair. Harry has just suggested that spanking her was a duty he might come to enjoy. She admitted that she likes that he spanks her.
$3.95


She felt her face grow warm. “I don’t like being spanked, but I like knowing you might spank.” She giggled, growing more embarrassed by her admission. “Is that silly? I like feeling your power or your passion when you spank. And I like the way you hold me afterward.”

“You like knowing I might spank?” he repeated, a wicked grin on his face. He pushed her back down, rolling her over to expose her bottom again.

“No! Harry!” she wriggled. “I said I don’t like being spanked!”

Kitty gets the strap (Regency Spanking Excerpt from The Westerfield Affair)

$3.95
Here's a juicy spanking scene from The Westerfield Affair:

She’d thought about her spanking all day, growing more and more anxious over it, but her desire to please her husband had grown as well. His taking her in hand did make him more attractive to her. But that still didn’t mean she wanted a “long, hard spanking.”

She sat on the bed to shield her most intimate and vulnerable parts. Harry pulled the dreaded razor strap out of his travel case and slapped it lightly in his palm. She bit her lip, tempted to throw herself at his feet again and beg for mercy. He walked to the head of the bed and propped the pillows against the headboard, leaning back against it with his legs long. He patted his lap meaningfully.

She managed to stifle the squeak rising in her throat and crawled over to where he sat, starting to drape herself across his knees. “The other way, please,” he commanded.

“Oh!” Embarrassed at getting it wrong, she awkwardly rearranged herself to face in the opposite direction.

He ran his hand lightly over her bottom, eliciting gooseflesh all over her body. “Why am I spanking you, Kitty?”

“For leaving you,” she said, her voice muffled in the covers. His hand came down sharply on one cheek. It was not as hard as he’d spanked that morning in the parlor when she’d felt the full brunt of his anguish in the sting of each slap, but it still smarted. He slapped the other side and then directly in the middle, then he repeated the pattern: right, left, center. She wiggled at the sting as he continued the same rhythm, smacking her in the same three spots over and over again. Her initial perception that he was not spanking with as much force faded as he increased tempo and intensity. Her breath quickened to a shallow pant as she struggled not to panic. After a few interminable minutes, he paused and rubbed her flaming bottom.

The feel of his caress on her backside was so tender that she found herself lifting her rear in the air, as if to beg for more of it. She thought she heard Harry’s breath catch.

He was not distracted, however, as she sensed him picking up the strap. She immediately squeezed her buttocks together, hunching her shoulders.

He brought the strap across her cheeks harder than she might have imagined was possible whilst lying across his lap. Her cheeks clenched and her bottom wobbled away from him and returned. A line of fire was blazing across her cheeks. The second one landed just below, the third below that. She buried her screams in the blanket so the servants wouldn’t hear. He gave her several seconds between each one to recover, though she wasn’t sure if that was a blessing or a curse. The next one landed at the juncture of her thighs and she screamed into the covers again, her sobs starting afresh. He worked his way back up her bottom, then back down again. It was pure agony—each stroke raising a fresh weal, the new strokes crossing the earlier ones so that the pain exploded exponentially.

“Why did you leave me?”

It took her a moment to understand he was picking back up with the conversation he’d begun when he started and another moment before she could pull herself together enough to answer. “Because I’m a naughty wife!” she exclaimed.

He gave a bark of laughter and let the strap slide over her bottom in a caress. “Yes,” he rumbled, “you are a very naughty wife. But why did you leave? What did you want from me?”

He snapped the strap across her buttocks again, so it was impossible for her to answer, her mind diverted by handling the fire on her backside. All she could blurt out was “This!”

He chuckled again, slapping her with the strap again, but lightly. “You wanted this? You wanted to be over my knee, having your bottom striped?”

“No! Yes—I mean, no!” She wriggled her hips on his lap and he brought the strap down again. “Ow! Harry!” He struck the other thigh. “Ack! I just—I wanted you to come running after me…I just wanted to know you care!”

He stilled, then rolled her up to cradle in his arms. “You didn't know?” he whispered.

Deathless Love Gets some Play

We interrupt this broadcast of all things Regency related to talk about a book so very near and dear to my heart.  Of course, I love all books-- not just my own.  And I love all my books, too. But there is one book that was very close to my heart. It's my first and only novel-length book and so much of it is from my real life (minus the vampires).  I was disappointed that it did not sell well when it was released, because it's definitely my special baby.

This past week it received some play, which was completely gratifying to me. Two authors read it, loved it and posted on their blogs about it.

The first posting came from Author Denise Wyant, who I only know from her posting the week before of Spank and Run, my story in Coming to Terms.   Here's what she thinks about Deathless Love.

The second came from Katherine Deane, the author who posted the funniest interview with me. If you're not already following her blog, I suggest you do--she posts about her DD relationship, and spanking romance and she's a beautiful writer. She felt a real connection with the heroine of my book (not just because they share the same name) so she wrote a post she calls "Katherine's Connections."  Her post also features a hot spanking excerpt that I don't think I've posted here, if you wanted to get a little steam on.


Katherine connects with Kate Strand from Deathless Love


Deathless Love

Kate has always had a crush on Dominic, the handsome owner of the club where her band plays. When she finds out one night that he is a vampire, her interest only grows, and when he sniffs out her ne ed for spanking and brings her deepest fantasies to reality, she falls head over heels. The trouble is, Dom is allergic to relationships, or so it seems.

Dom loves knowing how to turn Kate on and taking her in hand comes naturally to him. But he believes he likes Kate much more than is good for either of them. In his mind, he can never be the man she needs, and the best thing he can do for her is to stay far away. But when a powerful vampire targets Dom, Kate gets tangled in the dangerous web and Dom finds himself prepared to sacrifice his own life to save hers. Can he get her back alive? If so, will they find a way to be together?


"A touching, gripping, erotic love story that makes vampires real and spanking hot! 5 stars." - Cara Bristol, author of False Pretenses
