Saturday Spankings - Where are they?


Welcome to Saturday Spankings! Still pulling from Suspicions on the River today. As Cal and Jenny worry on their problems with Pat, Cassie is enjoying the perks of being a grandmother. She’s outside and happily playing with Christian when suddenly they are both gone. Everyone on The Landing begin searching… but they never suspected this.

 

Jenny said, “Now wait. Cassie wouldn’t just run off somewhere with the baby. She’s at one of our houses or maybe she’s visiting with another neighbor across the street. Or maybe they came in without you seeing them and went to watch a movie and fell asleep in the theater.”

Nearly before she finished the sentence Tom dashed up the stairs to check.

Annie grabbed her phone and called Andy. “We still can’t find them, please check every room in the house and check the boathouse too.” She hung up as Tom came down the stairs shaking his head. “I’m calling the club to see if they went there,” Annie announced.

“Willow,” Allie called in a shaky voice. “Where’s Cassie? Find Cassie!” she urged, trying one of Willow’s favorite games. But Willow just looked around as if to say, she’s not here. Everyone followed them out as Allie tried again on the deck. Willow ran to the yard, but then just sat.

Ryan, who had been working only two streets over, pulled into the driveway, Ryder with him. “Are they here? Did you find them?” he asked as he hurried toward them.

“No!” Allie wailed, bursting into tears and burying her face in Ryan’s chest.

“Ryder, you and Sophie check Sue’s house and then ours,” Jenny commanded. “I’ll check the docks and go along the river path and meet you at our house.” 

Ryan said, “I’ll check our house.” Tom, Sue and Annie crossed the quiet street to check with the other neighbors, leaving Lily to stay with Allie. Those who were home hadn’t see either of them.

Within fifteen minutes everyone was back at the house with absolutely nothing to report. Allie sobbed in Lily’s arms. As Jenny met Tom’s eyes she nodded. “I’m calling Cal,” she announced.

At that moment Ryder cried out from the yard, “They’re here, they’re here!”

Everyone rushed out, stunned at what they saw. Cassie, covered nearly head to toe in mud, was staggering up the drive. Her face looked both exhausted and panicked as she clutched the limp, mud-covered body of her grandson to her chest.

 Blurb


Furious with her in-laws’ demands to marry her deceased husband’s brother, Sadie Pepperman heads for the Trinity River with a friend to escape the pressure of their unsolicited advice.

Seeking an adventure, Callum Murphy and his friend, Marcus Goodman, are heading to the Gulf of Mexico to join the confederate army. Their quiet camp is interrupted by a lady’s scream. Spotting a woman in the swiftly moving water, Marcus jumps to the rescue, followed almost immediately by the rumble of wagon wheels along the dirt path, accompanied by a beautiful lady calling for help.  

Attempting to save her friend, Sadie meets Callum and joins forces. Only to discover their friends are being hauled onto a steamship. Eager to get away from temptation, she turns to leave and twists her ankle. The agonizing pain leaves her with the inability to walk. To avoid asking her in-laws for help, she offers Callum a place to stay if he’ll help with her farm’s chores. 

Enamored with the lady, he discovers she has a few issues; crops to bring in from the fields, a sex starved brother-in-law, and a body which inflames his desire. One problem, however, worries him. Can he convince her to forget the other rascals in her life and give him a chance? 

 

Excerpt 

 

Oh, God, what the hell was I thinking?

Aware of the searing blush on her face, she bowed her head to hide her embarrassment from the man still holding her in his arms. Flustered by her reaction to him, she drew her hands back to her chest and held tight to the thin fabric of her top.

Releasing her, he squatted to examine her foot. His hands circled her calf and glided over her ankle. “Sorry, but you’re not walking on this foot anytime soon.”

His emerald gaze met hers and she sank into there welcoming depths. The sudden urge to get away from him melted under his smile. Damn, I’ve always been a fool for an Irish devil.

Easing his palm along her leg to her knee, he squeezed it before rising. “Why don’t I help you get dressed? Then we’ll head back to where Marcus and I camped. Once I retrieve my things, I’ll take you home.”

Captured by the caress, she didn’t hear his words. Instead, she fought the sudden attraction expanding through her core and dug through her memory, searching for a way to avoid the danger of another heartbreak.

Luckily, the saints were with her because he stepped away. Leaving her torn between the old carefree spirit she’d been in her youth and the more season soul she’d become by trusting the wrong man with her heart. With great restraint, she held her tongue and watched each step he took around the wagon.

Pausing after a moment, he reached over the side and retrieved her discarded dress.

Hit by the reality, she lambasted herself for believing any man would want her. Didn’t Kirk, Richard’s brother, constantly tell her she was plain, and that no one would want her other than him?

Fighting the depressing thought, she swung her head to the path along the river and stared. What would it hurt to take Callum home with her? If she could persuade him to help her instead of having to ask her in-laws, then she might break free of their constant presence in her life.

Or was she playing with fire?

“If you’ll just lift your arms,” the handsome stranger stopped in front of her. “Then I’ll slide your dress over your head, and you can button it right up.”

Studying him, she debated her choices. Could she resist him? If so, then... Mind racing with potential solutions, a workable proposition blurted between her lips. “Why don’t you come home with me? I’ll need help with my farm until I can walk again. And could use the extra help.” 

Lifting her dress again, he nodded as if he’d already devised the plan before she even thought of it. “It’ll give me a place to stay until Marcus and your friend return.”

Still uncertain if he understood what she was offering, she clarified, “You’ll need to handle most of the chores. Because I’m not sure how soon I’ll be back on my feet. So, how much will this cost me?”

Saturday Spankings - Cassie's ready to grab the paddle

Welcome to Saturday Spankings! I have another snippet today from Suspicions on the River. As you might have read last Saturday, Cal was not pleased that Jenny and Ryder had used a drone to spy on Pat and he let his displeasure be known. He also demanded she stay off her sprained ankle. When Cassie and Sue brought the knee crutch over to her, she told them about the evening before. Cassie wasn't too happy either.


 

Jenny rolled to the padded swing, but sat harder than she had intended as she took her leg from the knee crutch. “Oww… shit,” she muttered.

“What happened?” Cassie moaned. “Was Cal mad about the trip too?”

“No, it’s not that,” Jenny said as she struggled to find a comfortable position. “I did something stupid last night.” She told the ladies the whole story. She concluded with, “So I’m nearly in trouble with the police, my ass feels like it went twelve rounds with a heavyweight, we left my car in town and Cal doesn’t have time to bring it home this weekend. Ryder’s up in his room feeling miserable. Doesn’t take me long to screw up, does it?”

Jenny could tell that Cassie was angry before she spoke. “And I don’t feel one bit sorry for you!” she snapped. “I’m about ready to spank you myself. You are being ridiculous to doubt Cal. I can name you any number of things wrong with him if you have the time, but unfaithfulness is not one of them. And you know it!”

“Hmm…” Sue joined in. “I seem to remember a woman named Nancy…”

“Just hush,” Cassie demanded. “We’re talking about Jenny’s shortcomings, not mine! Jenny,” Cassie went on ignoring Sue’s smirk, “you have to get a grip. Cal’s not going to put up with this much longer.”

“I know,” Jenny told her, again shifting to find a more comfortable position. “He made that very clear. So I’m done with her. She can try all she likes. I know I’ve got Cal for keeps.”

“Maybe Cassie and I could have a come to Jesus meeting with her,” Sue suggested. 

“No! Please don’t. Anything you all do or say will come right back to me getting my ass spanked again. Let’s all just forget about her.”

“Okay,” Sue agreed. “But if you change your mind…”

When a drag queen club manager's crazy world collides with a rock star's chaotic life, is there a chance their relationship can survive?

 

Erika Bailey, owner/manager of The Pink Flamingo, a drag queen club in Bangkok, Thailand has happily settled into all aspects of her life, except for her lack of a love life.

 

Darien Scott, a Grammy award-winning, international superstar, wants nothing more than to wake up in the arms of the woman he loves. Too bad contractual obligations force him to shoot hot videos with some of Hollywood's sexiest stars.

 

Yet, Erika and Darien found a way to each other’s arms.

 

But between suspecting her father ordered the torching of her club, and her mother’s humiliating drunken behaviour, Erika’s trust in those she loves is crushed. With all her parents put her through, how can she trust Darien?

 

Concerned for Erika’s safety, Darien races to Bangkok to protect her only to discover his brother is missing. Fearing the worst, he contacts his nemesis, Gan, and makes a repulsive deal that will free his brother and protect Erika’s club. Or so he thinks. Because when Gan is involved, things always go sour. This time is no different, and Darien sinks into a deep depression.

 

Is Erika’s love enough to pull him back and into her arms forever?

 

Daryl Devore’s hot rock star romance trilogy – Two Hearts ~ One Love - follows Erika and Darien’s crazy, suspense-filled, passionate adventure through Bangkok, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, a hurricane, a reticulated python, a famous drag queen revue, and a tandem skydive.

 

Bonus – exclusive to the box set – a special 2-part interview with Darien Scott.

 Excerpt 


After a record-breaking short shower, he stood next to the bed, towelling off. He’d stumbled exiting the bathroom from the sight that greeted him; a candlelit room with Erika bent over scattering rose petals on the bed. It wasn’t the candles or rose petals that hit him in the groin. She’d changed into the teddy, and her bare backside was a beacon calling out to him. His hands tingled in anticipation of cupping those smooth round cheeks. A vision of sinking his teeth into one flashed

through his head.

She straightened and turned. “Like?”

He ran his gaze down the black teddy that hugged her curves. She means the rose petals, doofus. “Uh… yeah. You brought all this in your luggage?”

“No. I ordered it. The hotel has a romance package.” She giggled. “It’s all on your tab.”

He pulled her next to him. “Guess you’re just gonna have to pay off that debt.” He placed his hand on the back of her thigh, sliding it up and over her butt. Lowering his mouth to the side of her neck, he nipped her soft flesh.

“No. No. Stop.”

“What?”

Hell no,” his cock complained.

“You were in charge in India. I’m in charge here. We’re gonna do this my way.” She rose up on her toes and planted a perky kiss on his lips. “Don’t want you getting all hot and bothered too fast.”

He pressed his swelling cock against her thigh. “Already am.”

“I did happen to notice.” She slipped her hand between them, sliding slid one finger along his balls and up his shaft.

Darien dropped his forehead to her shoulder. “Oh God, woman. It’s been a while. You have to play fair.”

“Never.” She breathed the word across his chest.

His blood boiled. He hoisted her up to his belly. She wrapped her legs around his hips and her arms around his neck. Stretching his arms out, he gave her space to lean back. His gaze raced up and down the black lace, just sheer enough to hint at the pleasures hidden beneath. The material stretched from her right shoulder down to her mound, then back up to her left shoulder. A tantalizing gap in the front left exposing the exact amount of flesh to raise his heartbeat. Among other things.

He wanted her. He craved to be wrapped up in her. Sweat dripping. Moans filling the air. With a quick move, she’d be naked. Just toss her on the bed and dive in. He knew she’d be hot and ready. His to claim. The pressure deep inside built, urging him. He lifted his hand to her shoulder, slid his fingers under the tiny strap and pulled.

No. Stop, stupid. Don’t. Don’t go all Neanderthal. This is the woman you love. Treat her with respect. His chest heaved and fell as he calmed himself.
