And now more about Cara and Long Shot...
Abigail
Delaney works at her great aunts antique store, which carries vintage spanking
implements. She is arranging the paddles and canes when Harris Montgomery, a
sexy guy she’s met only once, comes in and buys a spanking bench. In this scene
from Long Shot, Cara Bristol’s new Corbin’s Bend spanking romance, Harris tells
Abby to pick out a paddle to go with the bench.
An
excerpt from Long Shot by Cara Bristol
She wet her lips and looked
everywhere but at him. “What kind of paddle would you prefer?”
“What kind would you recommend?”
he countered, knowing full well she had no idea of the differences.
“Well…” Abby moved to the wall
where she’d hung the paddles carefully on coat racks. “We have uh, this kind.”
She pointed to a smooth wooden ping pong style.
“A solid choice to cover a lot
of surface area,” he said. “What else?”
“This one has holes.” She
gestured to another.
He shook his head. “Too stingy.”
For a beginner. Abby might have a secret spanking fetish, but she was still a
virgin, so to speak.
“They’re all here.” Blushing
profusely, she swept a graceful arm across the row of paddles like Vanna White
lighting up a new Wheel of Fortune puzzle. “And over there.” She gestured to a
washstand upon which several more rested and hung from the carved towel holder.
“That one’s leather.” She
unhooked a more generous oblong-shaped one, and traced the edge before
smoothing her hand over the flat surface. He’d been right about her liking for
leather. He suppressed a grin and watched her caress the paddle blade. Her skin
appeared pale next to the darkness of the hide, her nails on the short side,
but painted pink. Spanked ass pink. He bit back a growl.
“Let me see.” Harris stepped
over a pile of wadded newspapers. His cock pressed against the zipper of his
jeans. He allowed his gaze to slide down to her chest, rising and falling. Her
nipples formed beads underneath her ecru lace poet-style blouse. Leather and
lace. Hard and soft. Masculine and feminine. Sexy.
He scanned her face. An
answering desire swirled in her hazel eyes, but she wet her lips nervously.
Seeing her tiny tongue flick over her lips cinched his intention. He’d offered
to buy the bench on a whim, on a fantasy. But he would see her kneeling over
it.
As he took the paddle, he
allowed a finger to brush against the softness of hers. He squeezed the
reinforced handle, testing the grip. Good fit. Abby’s mouth had parted, and her
eyes riveted on the implement.
He snapped it against his thigh.
CRACK! Abby jumped. His cock ached.
“This one.” He decided. “How
much?” Didn’t matter. He’d pay any price. Seeing the fascination on her face
made it worth any and every penny she asked.
“Sixty dollars.”
“You don’t need to check with
your aunt?” he teased.
“She gave me carte blanche to
price smaller items.”
He pulled out his wallet and
handed his credit card and the paddle. “I’ll carry the bench to the register.”
Abby scurried to the front and
rang up his purchases, using both an old manual cash register and a very modern
credit card scanner. With amusement, he watched as she wrapped the paddle in
tissue paper as if it was a fine piece of china and then bagged it.
“Thank you for shopping at
Auntie Q’s,” she said politely.
Harris tucked his swaddled
purchase under his arm, then picked up the bench. She hurried ahead to open the
door.
He peered down at her. “Have you
ever been spanked, Abby Delaney?” he asked in low voice.
