Cassie has finally talked Tom into letting her go on the girl’s trip with Sue, Annie and Beth. Cassie’s blogging friends have often talked about the joys of going to adult toy story. Despite the fact that she knows Tom is against it, Cassie is planning on trying to talk the girls into a little ‘off limit’ shopping trip since there will be no menfolk around.
As Tom prepares for a little pre-trip spanking reminder her of how to she should act on the trip, Cassie tries to assure him she knows how to behave.
“Yes,
Tom, I know, I know... no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, no cussing, no
running with scissors, no drag racing, no trips to Mexico, no gambling, no
skydiving, no snacks between meals. Don’t forget to floss, early to bed, early
to rise…”
That old devil laughed as he pulled me over his lap. “I hadn’t planned to be quite so inclusive, but now that you’ve brought them up, let’s go over each item you mentioned.”
He spanked for quite a while, assuring himself I’d remember each thing I’d mentioned as well as throwing in a few more ideas of his own. The spanking, mixed with yelps of pain and laughter, my favorite type. But to hear his lecture, you would think my husband didn’t trust me to behave myself. I do wish to point out, however, that neither on my list nor his included mention of not visiting a good toy store.

Blurb:
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
know this side of Cassie exists.
Cassie shares many stories of their early marriage,
as she tried to adjust to Tom’s belief in the power of the hairbrush. Although
Cassie agrees in theory that Tom is the head of their home, she spends much of
her time doing exactly what she wants and hoping Tom won’t catch on. Over
thirty years later, she still does what she wants and Tom still catches on.
Cassie still doesn’t always act like the perfect
lady and doesn’t always manage to follow Tom’s rules. She sneaks off with
friends to visit an ‘adult’ toy store and she has begun talking to ‘strangers’
online and blogging about the private life she and Tom share, knowing full well
if Tom ever does find out she’ll be sitting sensitively for days to come.
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. There is nothing wrong with him being in charge.
There is nothing wrong with him giving the occasional spanking to make sure his
wife is fully aware of who is in charge. 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.
Read on for more great snippets!
Yay, so excited Cassie's Space is out! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Renee, the has been an incredible experience.
DeleteCongratulations PK! Will be adding to my TBR pile after the Christmas madness is done!
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings...
Cat
Cat,
DeletePlease just assure me that the Christmas madness will be done sometime!
Great snippet, love Cassie's list including the omission :-)
ReplyDeleteJaye,
DeleteI think omission should have been Cassie's middle name - she uses it well.
So yummy, PK. "Quite a while" is just wonderful there.
ReplyDeleteEmily,
DeleteCassie and I share this as our favorite type of spanking - he's serious about something, but its not all dreadfully serious.
PK,
ReplyDeleteI've read it and loved it, I'll email when I have more time.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.
Paul,
DeleteI'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
Oh great, she found a loophole!
ReplyDeleteCara,
DeleteCassie is the master at finding loopholes and Tom is just as good at catching her at it.
Love the snippet and loved the book:) Congrats on your release!
ReplyDeleteJohnna,
DeleteThank you so much. I always wanted people to get to know Cassie.
He takes such good care of her in every way!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
DeleteHe always has - most of the time she appreciated it, but there are other times...
Love that last line. The adult toystore- not included. ~giggles~
ReplyDeleteWonderful snippet PK.
LA,
DeleteCassie does have a way of including, or not including, certain things.
Tom is my second favourite man:). I've started it.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

Thanks Ronnie,
DeleteI'm looking forward to hearing what you think.
Oh boyeee, I know where this is going!!
ReplyDeleteI guess Tom might discipline Cassie, but no one curb her curiosity.
DeleteOkay, I need to buy this book. Definitely. And I don't say that to flatter. I might not smoke or ever been drunk but I definitely feel that I can do whatever I want despite a DD relationship. Love it, well done
ReplyDeleteThank you Bella,
DeleteCassie and Tom feel so real to me. Neither of them is perfect, Cassie tends to do what she likes. Tom love her to no end, and wants her to be happy, but steps in when he feels he needs to.
Even with the firm reminder to behave, there's always a little bit of naughtiness that can creep out at any given time.
ReplyDeleteDaizie,
DeleteEspecially out of Cassie. She doesn't mean to keep getting herself in trouble. But it seems to just happen.
congrats on the release :) this is a wonderful scene. I love the spanking at the same time as the lecture
ReplyDeleteThanks Joelle,
DeleteTom love to lecture as he spanks, unfortunately Cassie does not like to listen.
Hahaha! Awesome! Hey, if he didn't mention it, she can claim innocence. ;) Loved this snippet.
ReplyDeleteChristina,
DeleteExactly! I think she should be in the clear.
What I think I love most about this excerpt is the way Cassie and Tom mix laughter in with their lessons. The affection is obvious, though I'm not sure preventative spankings really work. At least not for me. I'd take them as a sign of distrust, which would make me angry rather than repentant or submissive. In fact, they'd most likely produce the exact behavior they were intended to prevent. I guess I'm just a little perverse in that way. Great snippet though.
ReplyDeleteKathryn,
DeleteI can't argue with you, I think I'd feel the exact same way. But Cassie and Tom often use spanking as a way to connect and feel close to one another and then of course, Tom does manage to slip in some warning too. Thanks for coming by,
She's a very naughty girl, and I don't think not mentioning the toy store will save her butt.
ReplyDeleteAngie,
DeleteI'm afraid you are absolutely right!
