Welcome to Saturday Spankings! Today’s snippet comes from Cassie’s River Living. Cassie had a special evening planned for Tom, and she was looking forward to them having some alone time. So when she received a call from his secretary explaining he wouldn’t be home until late she was upset and disappointed.
I received a call from Tom’s apologetic secretary. “Miss Cassie, I hate to tell you this, but Mr. Duff asked me to call. That videoconference that they’ve been trying to get scheduled is on for tonight. He said to tell you he knows he won’t be home until around nine.”
“Angie, no!” I fumed. “I wanted him home early tonight.”
“I know Miss Cassie, and Mr. Duff’s really sorry. No one was expecting it to be today. It just worked out where everyone could get together this evening.”
I began a slow burn. “And why couldn’t he call?” I asked. “Oh never mind,” I snapped. “Tell him I said that’s just fine.”
I hung up and sat staring at the phone. I was having trouble pinpointing just why I was so angry. Thinking back now, I think I was just lonely. Sue and Steve had been gone for a week. Kate and Chris and the kids had just gotten back from vacation and they were busy with back to school activities. Ryan was covered up in work as he tried to get ready to return to college. Lonely and I don’t do well together.
Willow and I went to the back yard where I really began paying attention to the weather. The wind was still strong. I knew there was a storm upriver somewhere, the wind was coolish. I enjoyed watching the moss on the trees whipping in the breeze. Finally, my eyes settled on the choppy water. The color was deepening, the water looked angry as it thrashed about. I had to be out there.
Tom’s always adamant that I not go on the water alone, and I almost never do. I always have at least Willow with me. Perhaps not what he meant, but he should learn to be specific. I changed from shorts into jeans, made sure I had my phone and we headed for the boat. Despite what Tom may think, I am not reckless. When it’s only Willow and me, I always wear a life jacket and so does Willow. One made especially for her.
The sky was darkening to the west, and I was excited. A storm was exactly what I was in the mood for. I eased away from the dock, puttered slowly to the center of the river and then opened her wide up. Now that’s what I needed, the wind, the roar of the motor and the rough water. The boat was fairly skipping on the surface only to occasionally slam back down. It was exhilarating and we were off.
When I saw the first flash of lightening across the black sky, I was mesmerized. The absolute beauty of it cannot be described. I slowed the boat and went to a more secluded spot near the shoreline just to watch. I felt like this amazing show was being put on for my enjoyment alone.
It wasn’t raining where I was, but I knew it wouldn’t be much longer before it cut loose. I don’t mind being in the rain, but I decided it was time to head home and a little reluctantly, I headed back. I had come much farther than I usually do, so I decided to top off the gas as I neared home.
As I pulled into the station, Ned came from the store. “Miss Cassie, what on earth are you doing out in this mess. It ain’t safe.”
“Oh Ned,” I gushed. “It’s beautiful out there!”
“Ma’am you gotta get home, there’s a bad storm comin’. Let me fill it up for you and get you outta here. Your folks is worried ‘bout you.”
What?
“What do you mean my folks are worried about me?” I asked, grabbing his arm.
“Well, ma’am your husband done called twice and so’s that Ryan boy. And Drew’s done called too. They’s lookin’ all over for you.”
Good Lord.
As Ned pumped my gas, I stepped into the store and looked at my phone for the first time. Seven missed calls. I knew Tom was going to kill me. And it just wasn’t fair. I hadn’t run off and I hadn’t done anything with the thought of making him mad. He wasn’t even supposed to be home until nine. I hadn’t gone out in the boat with just Willow more than once or twice all summer and certainly never when there was any chance of Tom catching me. I knew I was in deep, and Tom was going to be livid.
Cassie and Tom are happily settling into River Living. Cassie hoped that this peaceful setting would be enough to keep her out of trouble. But how can she stay out of trouble with Sue living at the river too? Staying out of trouble proves just too difficult.
Cassie is happy that Tom and Ryan are growing so close, but she is concerned about what relationship advice Tom may be giving him. Overheard conversations and statements from Ryan have her worried. Is Tom sharing his thought on adult spanking with Ryan? It seems so and when Cassie realizes that Allie is hearing these thoughts too, she’s worried. Cassie realizes she is going to have to try to explain things more fully. Can Cassie explain this way of life to eighteen-year-old Allie?
Cassie’s Space series
These ten books introduce Cassie. She is my friend and has been since she wandered into my imagination fifty-four years ago. She is married to Tom, the man who loves her in a way that makes my heart nearly burst with happiness for the two of them. He loves her, guides her, protects her and when necessary, spanks the fool out of her. I’ve been told that their adventures are exciting, funny and realistic. Their love-life is passionate and fulfilling – but you’ll hear no graphic details, Cassie is a lady and giving too much detail would not be proper.
Cal’s Law series
Cal and Jenny are one of my younger couple. The spanking in their relationship began mere minutes after they met, and Cal hasn’t let up much since. There relationship has it’s struggles, but these two are meant to be together. They live in the same town as Cassie and Tom and there is a lot of interactions among the character of both series. Jenny is not as reluctant as Cassie to openly discuss her sex life, so you’ll find a little more spice in this series.
On the River series
In this, my latest series, everyone is around – all the characters I’ve grown to love over the years are living on the area of the river that they call The Landing. Their lives, their adventures, even their spankings sometimes intertwine. By this time in the series, I’m just typing as my characters tell me what’s happening. And I love it!
These books do take you through time as it passes, but please don’t think you have to read them in order. Start anywhere. Just grab one and give it a try. If you are a spanking
I’ll close today with a review on the latest book. This is one of the finest reviews I’ve ever had.
Starting with the first Cassie book until now, I have never been disappointed or failed to wait expectantly for the next one.
