Saturday
Spankings! I do love to see Saturday’s roll around. I enjoy everyone’s snippets
and I enjoy restocking my Kindle. Since I hope there will soon be another
Cassie book I’m giving you snippets from some of the earlier books. Today we’re
continuing with a snippet from Cassie’s Space.
Over the last two weeks I’ve given snippets from Cassie’s one and only public
spanking on a cruise ship. Now it’s the morning after and Tom is insisting they
go to breakfast. As Cassie puts it, “I’m not leaving this
room until we dock and then I’m going out with the luggage.” But Tom is the
boss.
I
cried. I begged. I just couldn’t face a dining room full of people who knew. But Tom insisted. In the end, I went with
him to the dining room. What choice did I have?
Everyone
should have the experience of entering a room and having the entire crowd within
go silent. But, believe me, once is enough. The silence that fell over the
dining room as we came through the door let me know me in no uncertain terms
that every passenger, and probably the crew from captain to cabin boy, knew
what had happened in the casino.
Tom
had assured me that a lady knows how to conduct herself in any situation. Really?
Have you seen this situation covered in Emily Post’s Guide to Manners? But I held my head high and
walked with Tom to the table.
Blurb:
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’s Space (book one)
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, Cassie 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.

Poor Cassie, the mortification! I don't blame her wanting to stay in the room the rest of the cruise! Love that she held her head high in the end, good on her!

It would have taken quite a man to get me out of the room - but I guess Tom could have done it.
DeleteI know just how Cassie felt - that mean ole Tom -
ReplyDeleteI know Tom's not your favorite. But I can understand you in this.
DeleteI had forgotten that lovely line about Emily Post. It made me laugh out loud again.
ReplyDeleteI guess many today don't even know who Emily Post was - but Tom and Cassie knew of her.
DeleteYeah, Emily Post doesn't quite cover situations like these. Matter of fact, I don't think she covers how to behave after absolute humiliation at all. Made me laugh, too.
ReplyDeleteIt does happen to all of us at one time or another. It might have been a useful chapter.
DeleteThe snippet was so funny! And I loved the blurb for Cassie's Space.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, I think the blurb for Cassie's Space could really be for the whole series.
DeleteLove my Cassie. Can't wait for the next one, PK.
ReplyDeleteThe other day, Sam swatted my ass in a men's clothing store. My first reaction was OMG - what if someone saw me!
