Saturday Spankings - February 1

Saturday again! And we have more eight – or close to eight – sentence snippets to enjoy.  I’m taking these from Cassie’s Tale, which will be out in four days! I’m very excited. 

In today’s snippet, Cassie has continued to refuse to accompany Tom to a party give by the company trying to woo Tom out of retirement. She sees no reason to party with people trying to steal her husband away from her. She knows Tom wants her to go and she’s worried he’ll use unfair tactics to force her.

Tom’s look was one of amused exasperation and I was pretty sure I knew what was coming. Tom stalked toward me saying, “I think it’s time for a little talk.”

Talk my foot!

Reaching me Tom wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. Then he slowly kissed my eyes and worked his way down my neck.

“You are going.” He told me in a voice that made me tingle, “You’re going because I want to show everyone that if I do take this job, I have a powerful reason to come home every night. I want to show them that my wife is beautiful and funny and sexy and satisfied and that I plan to keep her that way whether I work or not.” Taking a pause to kiss me on the lips he continued, “You’re going because I love you and I want you there with me.”

I told you he played dirty.

Cassie’s Tale will be out February fifth

Cassie continues to live life to the fullest, from wheeling around in her new sports car to mastering the art of riding a motor scooter with no hands, she manages to keep Tom on his toes. The fly in the ointment is that Tom’s firm wants him back for a project and Cassie wants him all to herself.  When Tom takes the job, Cassie is left lonely and bored – never a good combination for her.

 Left to her own devices Cassie makes some poor decisions, frightening Sue and causing Tom to lower the boom. Tom's new schedule for Cassie, including her getting a job, leaves her little time to get herself in trouble – yet she still manages.

Cassie’s Space - On Amazon

Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. 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 that 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 even after thirty years of marriage, 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 and Tom show 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 these two people only grows stronger.

And now, the rest of the snippets.

Cassie's Tale is coming!

It’s coming, it’s coming! One week from today - Cassie’s Tale is coming out on February fifth. Bringing Cassie to ‘life’, having others read about the adventures she shares with her beloved Tom, has been a life long dream for me. I was so pleased and excited with I was able to publish the first book, Cassie’sSpace. But having the second one, well that almost makes me feel like a writer. I really hope you will like this one too. It’s supposed to be up at NewGally today is you want an early sample.

Here’s an excerpt from Cassie’s Tale. Cassie and her friends took an impromptu trip without telling the husbands. Finding out where they are, Tom joins them as they lounged around the pool.

I still hadn’t said a word. My heart thudded in my chest when Tom turned to Sue and said, “I came because I missed my wife. I like being with her, I missed talking to her.”
That shut Sue up.

Tom and I do love spending time together, and we seem to talk all the time. Honestly it warmed my heart to hear him say it. But when he added, “Cassie, let’s go to the room and talk now,” I suddenly realized just how intense that warm feeling was likely to get. I knew I couldn’t talk my way out of this one, but that didn’t stop my mind from racing as we gathered my things and headed toward the room. My mind grasped desperately for anything to say that might forestall what would surely happen. By the time we reached the room, nothing creative had occurred to me. However, that didn’t stop me from trying.

“Now Tom, I know you’re mad but, honestly, it all just happened on the spur of the moment. Honey, if I had known we were coming this far I would have...” I could easily tell this was going nowhere so I just trailed off.

Tom let the silence build for a minute, then he said, “Cassie I’d like you to take a shower please.” I stood looking at him a minute longer until he added firmly, “Right now.”

I sighed and nodded, trying to seem as agreeable as possible. As I undressed in the bedroom, I heard a knock on the outer door of the suite. I peeked out the bedroom door as Tom opened it and all the girls rushed in, everyone talking at once.

“This wasn’t Cassie’s idea...We made her come... She didn’t want to... She thought we should call you guys first ... She tried to talk us out of it... We practically kidnapped her...”

What a sweet combination of lies. I was cheered by their efforts, although I knew nothing would change Tom’s mind.

“Thank you, ladies.” Tom ushered them to the door. “Yes, yes that’s fine, I hear what you’re saying. Why don’t you join us for dinner? We’ll be in touch later.”

He tried in his gentlemanly fashion to shove them back in to the hall when Sue rounded on him menacingly. “Tom, don’t you dare be mean to Cassie.”

“Sue,” Tom answered. “I have never been mean to my wife and I don’t plan to start now. Good day.” And he closed the door in their faces. Turning, he spoke to the door where I stood peeping at the activity.

“Cassie, are you in the shower?”
I jumped and said, “I’m going right now, honey.”
Minutes into my shower Tom came in. I had a fleeting hope that he would be joining me, but he went right back out. When I stepped from the shower I realized that he had come in to get my robe and all the towels except one small one, not even large enough to go around me, the old devil.

I dried off the best I could, took a deep breath, and came out. Tom sat in the chair holding the ivory brush. That damn brush. He just sat there not saying anything, so I crawled up on the bed. I had nothing to lose, so I started, “Tom, you were the one who backed out on our plans. All I did was come on a quick vacation to a safe place with my friends. We didn’t do anything wrong.”

“You really don’t think you did anything wrong?” he asked. “If this trip was such a good idea, why didn’t you call me to let me know about it?” I felt like I could have argued my point better if I weren’t sitting naked while he sat there fully dressed. But such was my situation.

He came over to the bed, shaking his head. “I don’t even think you’re buying what you’re saying, I certainly don’t. Girl, you left the country. You flew nearly three thousand miles from me without so much as a word.” He shook his head again and, gently pulling me to my feet, he sat on the bed and firmly pulled me across his lap.

Resting that hateful brush against my bottom he said, “You know how I feel about not knowing where you are, and leaving the country...” Then he started with that brush so hard, I thought I’d leap out of my skin.

I hope you’ll come by Saturday for another snippet.

Saturday Spankings, January 25

I’m so happy to be back with another Saturday Spankings. I love sharing snippets from my work and I love reading snippets from others. It always extends my TBR list, but that’s a good thing.  Today’s snippet is from, Cassie’s Tale, which is being released on the fifth of February.

In today’s snippet, Cassie and Tom are visiting friends out west. Cassie chose to stay back at the house when the girls went shopping and Tom went golfing with the fellows, feeling a little lonely she lays down for nap…

I had just drifted off to sleep when I felt a hand on my arm. My heart gave a lurch, I knew I was alone in that great big house. I barely had time to see that it was Tom before he tied a scarf around my eyes and said quietly, “Do what I tell you and you won’t be hurt.”

Oh my! We hadn’t played like this in so long. My heart raced because I’d truly been frightened. That fright, combined with being deprived of sight so suddenly and the realization that Tom had given up his golf game just to spend the afternoon with me, definitely had me reeling.

If you'd like to read more about Cassie and Tom Cassie's space is available now on Amazon.
