Good morning! I’ve got some news. This week I submitted my eighth book to my publisher. I’m excited about this one for a number of reasons. One, it’s got a good plot that people can really sink their teeth into at 50,000+ words. Also, it’s got a super dominant anti-hero, who you’re going to love to hate and hate to love. I’m sharing an excerpt that will give an inkling as to what he’s all about.

Nathan has just told Emma she’s going to suffer a spanking and anal punishment. Because she feels guilty about her attraction to him and about enjoying the depraved things does to her, she’s glad for the reminder that this is punishment. This was a fun scene to write. Hope you enjoy it too.

“Spread your legs,” he ordered, his voice husky with the same desire she felt.

She obeyed and felt the cool air of the room brush her clenching sex. She squeezed her eyes shut as his fingers dipped into her folds, and her face heated at the unmistakable sound of her wetness when he gently slapped back and forth between her nether lips with two fingers, soaking his digits. There was no hiding how aroused she felt by this man, when the proof poured out of her unbidden.

She arched her back and pressed against his hand in an attempt to feel his fingers against her needy nub, but his hand then withdrew and smacked her hard on her right cheek, causing her to buck against the leg of the sofa. He continued spanking, scolding her as he did. “If you’re greedy and impatient, I won’t allow your release. Take your punishment first, you hear?”

She gasped. His hard palm continued to fall without mercy on her poor, quivering cheeks. “I’ll take it,” she moaned, as his stinging hand brought her to her toes. “Please stop!” she said, but meant the opposite, so very grateful for the reminder that yes, this was punishment. She was not in control.

“I told you I would punish your bottom inside and out.” He struck lower, catching the tops of her thighs and causing her to cry out at the sudden increased sting. “Did you think I was joking? Did you think we would skip right to your pleasure?”

If she was under any illusions before about what he was going to do, I’m sure she’s not now.

On an unrelated note, I’ve been locked out of my Facebook account and asked to provide proof that Amelia Smarts is my authentic name, so if anyone is wondering what happened to me, that’s the scoop. (Big sigh.) I’m working on gathering evidence to submit to the FB deities and hope to be back among my author friends and readers soon. I miss seeing everyone’s statuses and being in the know.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend. Click here to read more spanking snippets.
