Today’s the day … Holding Court is now available for all ebook platforms! I am celebrating by helping the farrier this morning and having a lesson at a clinic this afternoon. Okay, that doesn’t sound like celebrating exactly, I’ll find something else to mark the occasion. I’m open to suggestions!
In the meantime, how about another excerpt for Saturday Spankings?
He leant down and kissed her until he felt her relax, enjoying the way his cock brushed against the soft skin of her belly. He spoke softly to reassure her. “Remember the first time I punished you? How afraid you were, and how that fear made you come even faster?” Clara squirmed under him, and he knew she did. He cupped her breast again, holding it firmly in place with one hand, reaching for the belt with the other. He hesitated as he lined up carefully, watching her reaction. Her eyes widened and mouth opened as she tensed and trembled, waiting for the first blow.
Schoolteacher Clara lives a peaceful, solitary life when she’s away from the school house. That is, other than the nights when rich, powerful landowner Courtland Raymond comes to call.
Court makes Clara do and feel things she’d never before dreamed of. He is forceful and dominant, and he always knows just what she needs. Their secret arrangement allows them to enjoy each other without the disapproval of the community they both rely on for their livelihood.
Clara loves Court, and she’d do nearly anything to be with him forever, a real relationship, but she’s not willing to risk their stolen moments. But when their secret trysts are exposed, will she be able to hold on to Court? Or lose him forever?
