Yeah! You’re back for Saturday
Spankings – best blog hop around when you need to fill up your Kindle or Nook.
If I continue buying as I have been, I may have to put off retirement for
another year.
Today’s snippet is from Cassie’s
Influence, which will be out early next month. In last weeks snippet Tom is
just beginning to realize Cassie and Sue flew off somewhere without consulting
their husbands. As Tom put her over his knee, he makes sure his feelings about
the incident are clear.
"Cassie, I believe we have had many discussions about
the letter of the law and the spirit and you know my feelings." He was
pulling me across his lap and began using his hand to express his feelings
fully at that moment. "Giving me correct facts while intentionally
misleading me is not telling the truth, it's lying by omission."
I've always thought that this was a warped way to think
about lying.
Tom went on, "Talking to me at lunch and not saying a
word about being out of the state, telling me you were stuck in
traffic..."
"I never said we were stuck
in traffic!" I gasped as he continued to pepper my behind. "I said
traffic was heavy. And it was!"
"But," Tom maintained, "you failed to mention
that you were speaking of air traffic."
"Owww... Stop!" I shouted. "I can't remember to give you every little detail over the phone."
"Owww... Stop!" I shouted. "I can't remember to give you every little detail over the phone."
Cassie's Influence coming soon.
The Cassie books don’t have to be read in order, but if you are ready to jump in the first four can now be found in the Cassie Box Set. It’s a great deal.
Keep on reading for more great snippets this week.
Love this. Yeah, every little detail like talking about air traffic being busy when she knew he thought she meant she was driving. I don't blame Tom, but I want to know why Cassie was flying someplace and didn't want him to know.
ReplyDeleteMeant to add that it is only April. So, is Cassie's new book due out in May or June, since you thought it was May already?
DeleteCassie loves feeling independent and like she can get away with some things - despite the fact she rarely does.
DeleteI fixed the date - I blame it on being a teacher, no one longs for the end of May/first of June more than a teacher!
I'm so with Cassie on the warped way of thinking about lying!
ReplyDeleteOf course! Not lying doesn't mean telling ALL you know!
DeleteYeah, I think anything conversation which starts with "Well it wasn't technically a lie..." is probably going to end up in a spanking.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you appear to be posting from the future. The rest of us are still in April.
Yep that is a bad way to begin a conversation if you're in a spanking relationship.
DeleteLike I told Kathryn - teachers are always trying to hurry the end of the year.
God, that sort of conversation sounds SO familiar... :/
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs their own secrets sometimes.It keeps the mystery.
DeleteBy the way, the cover is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I love it too.
DeleteLove Cassie's last comment lol. The devil is always in the detail :)
ReplyDeleteHugs

And the poor woman lives with a man who insist on those details.
DeleteShe knows how to push the limits--and his patience.
ReplyDeleteShe has had a lot of practice!
DeleteHee hee-- she's really sticking to that story, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteLOL! I could see Tom saying, "You sticking with that story?" and Cassie answering, "No give me a minute and I'll try to come up with something better."
DeleteCheeky little minx. I think her behind fully deserved the peppering it was getting. GRIN.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Cassie deserves what she gets, but I'm still always on her side - well usually.
DeleteI love Cassie, I definitely can relate to her.....Technically she wasn't lying. hehe Gorgeous cover
ReplyDeleteCassie rarely ever LIES to Tom, but she is a very creative lady! Thanks I love the cover too.
DeleteInteresting that Tom mentions "lying by omission" and Cassie says she doesn't get that... with my Master being so on about me asking for what I want, I actually get what Tom's saying
ReplyDeleteOh Cassie gets it all right, but that doesn't stop her from trying it!
DeleteLMAO. AIR TRAFFIC? That's really brilliant. I'm still laughing. What a silly girl.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, Cassie does have a way of turning language to her advantage.
DeleteGreat snippet, well done!
