Winning Sadie - obedience test

Thank you for visiting my website and reading this short excerpt from novel Winning Sadie, published by Blushing Books.

Today Sadie is paying dearly for keeping secrets:

“…However I am angry not to have learned about this sooner, like maybe the week you accepted my proposal?”

“I’m sorry,” she repeated and squirmed, trying to avoid the hand that was roasting her bottom.

[…]

“Not as sorry as you’re going to be.” He spanked harder and faster.

At one point she lifted her hands to protect herself, to try to stop the stinging redness that was spreading over her upper thighs and cheeks.

“Take your hands away.” His tone was implacable. This was a test of her obedience.

Winning Sadie - Will it never end?

Thank you for visiting my website and reading this short excerpt from novel Winning Sadie, published by Blushing Books.

Today we look at the aftermath of a spanking:

Simon held Sadie on his lap until his legs went to sleep and then he helped her to her feet. “Are you feeling better, little one.”

She smiled shyly at the endearment that he used sparingly. Her eyes were calm again and she’d stopped shaking from the spanking. For the moment, their world was safe from doubt.

The heat from her spanked bottom was still warm on his thighs. He wondered how long it would be before she obeyed him without question, before these sterner spankings became unnecessary. Probably never.

Winning Sadie - We're done talking.

Thank you for your interest in my book Winning Sadie from Blushing Books.

Today’s excerpt is from the chapter Paying the Piper. Sadie has known for three days that this reckoning was due. Waiting and worrying has been part of the punishment.

***

[Simon] crossed his hands in front of him and drummed his fingers on his elbows. “We’re done talking now. I think I’ll sit on the bed today.”

Sitting on the bed signaled a long session and I bleated with worry. “But I haven’t explained about Ronnie yet.”

“Has explaining anything ever stopped me from spanking you?”

“Never,” I said, not even bothering to keep the bitterness out of my voice.

“I don’t like that tone,” he said. “Get the hairbrush and stand by the bed and wait for me.”

##SatSpanks Testing the Hardware

Sadie has just received a gift from Simon, a Mason Pearson hairbrush. Because there is company in the kitchen and she has not broken any of his rules for at least 12 hours, she doesn’t expect to taste its sting for a little while. Which shows how little she knows about him in the early days of their relationship. From my novel Simon Says:

"This spanking, like the one I left you with after the first night we spent together, is pre-emptive. A reminder not to need more drastic correction."

A wall of resistance rose up in me and I glared at him. But I undid my jeans.

He took my hand, led me to the counter, and bent me over it. 

"No! [They’ll] hear!"

"...The walls are solid concrete. No one will hear a thing. Unless you make too much noise. Now—hands."

I'd barely put my hands in the small of my back when he spanked me six times, hard and fast. Three swats on each cheek. The hairbrush burned and I bit my lip to stop from crying out.

#SatSpanks - the Joy of Spanking

Simon and Sadie haven’t known each long but it feels like forever. He has marched into her life: one part tyrant, one part adoring, protective lover. Sadie enjoys him as a lover and is confident enough not to be overwhelmed by his strict rules.

Besides, the spankings aren’t all bad news.

An excerpt from Simon Says:

He smacked my bottom hard. I gasped.

"That was quarter strength. So far you haven't had a full strength spanking from me. Don't give me any attitude or you'll find out how seriously strong I am. Understood?"

"Yes." In spite of my better instincts, my tone was sulky.

Smack.

"Ow!"

"Do I need to repeat the message?"

“No, I think I've got it now."  

[…]

The spankings drained away all the frustration, stress, and annoyances of my life. They were like going for a long, breath-hold dive and staying down until my lungs almost burst. I rose from them exhausted and thrilled.

#SatSpanks - Ready for a Spanking

Welcome to Simon and Sadie’s world, from my novel Simon Says.

Sadie has ignored Simon’s rule about going to the gym. But she’s been truthful about it so he tells her he won’t spank her for disobedience. This time. He doesn’t want her to be scared of him:

He burst out laughing. “Actually maybe I do want you a little afraid of me, with all your senses on high alert. In fact, even though I'm not going to spank you tonight, I want you to be ready for a spanking, to remind you of what you escaped."

[…]

“Go into the washroom and remove your panties. Put them in your purse. Do not put them on again without my permission. Is this clear?" 

When is consent not consent?

**Spoilers**

A few people have commented about my book, Simon Says. They say there is one scene when it crosses the line from DD to abuse. This happens in Japan when Sadie deliberately disobeys one of Simon’s specific rules, meant to protect her and keep her safe. As the author and as a DD practitioner, I have some problem with what Simon does next but he acts within his mandate. He is a little over the top and regrets his actions later but at the time he is working within the principle in law known as Carte Blanche.

Sadie has given Simon Carte Blanche, or unlimited authority, in his role of Head of the House. By allowing him to spank her and set rules for her, she has given him authority over her as to when and how much she will be punished. To me, any time a submissive calls the shots about the when and how of a spanking, she has effectively given up her role as submissive. The whole idea of DD is that there is one leader, one primary decision maker. Yes there should be boundaries and safe words, but ultimately the HoH makes the decision.

No skin was broken in the scene in Japan. No blood was drawn. There is nothing like some of the gruesome spanking photos available online. But Simon did thrash her soundly. There is no doubt about that.

Did he get away with it? Definitely, in the short term. The first heat of love and romance has blinded Sadie. At the end of Simon Says, they both think they’ve found their HEA (happily ever after). However Sadie hasn’t quite forgotten that night in Japan. Book 2 in the series, Simon Says I Do, opens with her having serious second thoughts. There are times when a submissive needs to speak up.

What are your experiences with DD? Is there a time when you’ve wanted to withdraw your consent? Have you ever felt abused or unloved in your DD lifestyle?

The Making of Simon Says

My first erotic romance, Simon Says, is due for release next Friday, January 29th! I couldn’t be more excited. I’m eternally grateful to the people who have brought my vision to realization: namely my publisher, Blushing Books, and most particularly the excellent editor, as well as woman responsible for the eye-catching cover, Lawson Craighill.

My editor challenged me on some aspects of spanking, specifically the strike zone. That was excellent – it forced me to do some research on the subject. I found these two charts that illustrate the safe areas for spanking. If you’re just starting out on your spanking adventure, I wish you lots of fun, romance, and, most importantly, safe practice.

How do you keep the fire going in your spanking romance? Do you have a safe word and defined limits?
