Spanking Katherine Deane

I couldn't help myself with that title. I'm not actually spanking Katherine and if I was, she'd probably like it anyway. I'm sharing a spanking snippet with her instead...

If you've not visited Katherine's site before, it's a great place to do some reading. Her interviews are always right on, she asks great questions and shares her own personal and very intimate details of her DD marriage.

You Dropped Your Panties #SatSpanks


Good morning and welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop. Today I'm sharing a piece from Taken by the Beast. It's the book that precedes my new release, Claimed by the Beast and we're running a sale on it now through New Year's to celebrate the new release. 

When Kayla refused to strip bare, Elijah told her it was fine, she could keep her panties on. But there are always consequences and in this case, if she wanted to keep her panties on, she had to keep them balanced at mid-thigh... but they've just slipped to the floor...

* * * *

With purpose, Elijah unbuckled his belt, watching her face as he did it.

“You dropped your panties,” he said, a small smile lifting one corner of his mouth.

She looked at the little slip of lace on the floor, then at him as if just realizing it.

“I’ll have to add on strokes for that.”

“No.” Her eyes went once again to where his hand rested on the buckle of his belt.

“Tell me why I’m going to punish you,” he said.

She scooted back on the bed and looked at him. She shook her head, mute.

“Kayla, tell me why I’m going to punish you,” he repeated.

Thanks Natasha for hosting the Took My Breath Away Book Blog Tour today!

It's Day 10 of the Took My Breath Away Book Blog Tour and I'm thrilled to be on Natasha's blog today! If you miss any days of the book blog tour, you can find links to them here.

Many people read spanking books for the eroticism behind it. But I also love the discipline side, the side that isn't about getting you hot, but about equalizing the relationship, calming the 'spankee' down, and about the two (or more) people strengthening their relationship.

In this snippet, Logan's mom Kimberly talks to Christian a little more about domestic discipline.

“…neither Greg nor I actually like the term punishment. Because discipline actually makes more sense. He does not spank me, or make me write lines, or make me go buy something because I was bad – he does it to help me release the anger, guilt, and other negative emotions I am usually holding inside. He does it for us because he loves me.

“It was the same way with Logan as a child. Our son was always highly intelligent and he caught on early to the realization that getting a spanking might hurt, but that afterward he felt better when he had done something wrong.”

“I think he wants that kind of relationship,” Christian admitted quietly.

“Don’t most kids gravitate toward the kind of relationship their parents have?”

Smiling, he nodded. “Probably. It’s just a whole new world for me.”

“I know. I’ve been there. And only you two can decide what works for you.” She offered him a warm smile. “It works perfectly for Greg and me, but at the beginning? I wasn’t so sure.”

He snorted a laugh. “Sore bottom?”

“Dreadfully. Plus, that putting-myself-first rule was troublesome.”

“Why?”

“Just wait until you have children. You want to put them first. I mouthed off to Greg so many times when I would let something else drop because I thought I should put Logan’s needs ahead of my own. Not his basic needs,” she assured Christian. “But thing like… Greg wanted me to finish my education and get the career I wanted. I felt that putting school ahead of my child was wrong and did not sign up for classes. We talked a lot about it but finally he put his foot down, as well as his hand,” she added wryly, making Christian chuckle.

“It took me a while to figure out what he was talking about. But I think one of the reasons Logan has no trouble going for his goals is because he saw me do it. Not once has Logan ever felt as though he was put to the side, because both Greg and I love him to bits and would do anything for him, and he knows it.”

Book Description:
Took My Breath Away
Sequel to As Natural As Breathing

Length: Novel
Genre: Gay Spanking Romance
Series: All They Ever Needed

Sometimes taking control is what you need to do and sometimes the best thing you can do is give that control up.

In the summer between Logan's junior and senior years of college, these two will find out more about each other and themselves than they imagined.

While unhappy to be missing four weeks of Christian's company, Logan is thrilled to spend a month with his father's relatives in New York.  A naturally gregarious individual, he is used to winning people over and getting things right. Unfortunately, the Mannettes are not what he expects and for the first time in his life, he finds himself seriously doubting who he is.

Christian has regained some of his old self-esteem and is taking on new challenges. Besides growing in the relationship he has with Logan, he takes the time his boyfriend is away to learn more about domestic discipline. He learns a little online but it is actually Gregory, Logan's father, where he gains most of his information. Including the fact that his natural strength puts him in a leadership position he isn't expecting.

When Logan returns to a strong, self-assured Christian, it is with complete relief. As discussions turn to domestic discipline and they realize their true roles within their current and future relationship, both of them are able to let their inhibitions go and together their connection grows surprising Logan to an epiphany.

Thianna D
For Thianna D, reading and writing are as important as breathing and far more important than math or science. A storyteller from the time she could speak, she was always making up characters as a kid. As a teenager that turned to sci-fi and fantasy, as an adult to romance. It wasn’t until her fourth decade that she began writing erotic scenes within her stories.
Writing M/M came naturally to her; she wrote her first tale before ever having read one. “There is something about the amazing dynamic between two strong men falling in love and defeating anything thrown at them.” While she had written several BDSM stories involving men, As Natural As Breathing was the first full-length novel involving domestic discipline. In Took My Breath Away, its sequel, Logan and Christian further their relationship in very defining ways.

Pushed to her Knees

 Writing characters is always interesting for me. I feel like I never know how people will turn out. In the case of Marcus in Claimed by the Beast, one of the words I'd use to describe him is dirty. There's something so utterly sexy about that. The scene below exemplifies that for me...


* * * *

Marcus pushed Rachel to her knees, holding her there by her hair in one hand as he undid his jeans. 

She took over then, pulling them down, freeing his cock, opening her mouth to lick the tip of it, unsure what to do—knowing only that she would taste him, that she wanted his cock in her mouth, wanted his hand in her hair tugging her forward and back, fucking her mouth. 

He made a sound and pressed too far back, forcing her to push against his thighs as she coughed and choked. He stopped, lifting her head by the hair he still held, looking down at her.


“You’re a bad girl, coming when you’ve been told not to,” he said. “I might spank you for that.”

She stared at him, opening her mouth to protest, but he only tightened his hold on her hair. “No words. Just relax your throat and take my cock,” he said.

She nodded and opened wide, bracing her hands against his thighs, trying to relax her throat as he said but failing, choking as he brought her head forward, pushing his cock into her mouth, trying for the back of her throat. 

He slowed for a while, teasing her mouth with his cock, coaxing her to open, to relax, to let him have the back of her throat, and somehow she managed, even as his movements came more quickly. His cock thrust in and out of her mouth and she concentrated on his face, his eyes, the ecstasy there, the taste of him when he stilled, his cock throbbing deep inside her mouth, his seed spilling down her throat, filling her mouth, sliding down her chin when he pulled out.

He held her there, breathing hard, his hand still in her hair while he watched her.

“Swallow,” he said.

* * * *


More than a year has passed since Marcus, free at last from his harsh captivity, disappeared to lead a life of solitude. Rachel waits for him, clinging to hope, but her fear grows that the man with whom she shares an unbreakable bond is lost to her forever. Despair leads her to take risks with her life, and Elijah does his best to keep her safe, but he knows that only his brother’s return can truly heal her wounded heart. 

Believing that he will only bring her pain and sadness, Marcus has vowed to leave Rachel on her own, telling himself that she will move on and find love and happiness in the arms of some other man. But when the dark shadows of the past engulf his family again and Rachel’s life is put in terrible danger, he is given no choice but to return and take back what is his. 

Though overjoyed that Marcus has returned at last, Rachel cannot bring herself to believe that he will truly stay this time, and her doubts push her to defy him even as he fights to protect her. She soon learns, however, that he will tolerate no disobedience when her safety is at stake, and her defiance will be dealt with firmly. As she stands before him, bare and blushing with her well-spanked bottom on display, knowing there is much more to come, Rachel longs for her mate to claim her as his and his alone. But can he shield her from those who would do them harm, or will he be torn away from her yet again? 

Publisher’s Note: Claimed by the Beast is the sequel to Taken by the Beast. It is an erotic novel that includes spankings, anal play, graphic sexual scenes, elements of medical play and BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Merry Christmas

Last week I was at a choral concert at a very old church here. My friend invited me because she was singing as part of the choir. I love choral concerts, I love devotional music - not limited to any one religion but all of it. The message is the same: love. Although I don't consider myself a part of any one religion but more a part of all of them, the concert reminded me of being at church with my parents when I was little. They even sang one in my original language - one of the oldest in the world. Did I mention I also love Gregorian chant?

My feelings during the concert surprised me. I expected to love it and I did but it was more than that and in a way, I realized how over the last few years, I've forgotten what Christmas actually celebrates.  I've been so focused on gifts for my kids, on keeping the magic of Santa Claus alive that I've forgotten the more beautiful part of this, the celebration of the birth of Christ. So tonight at dinner, I'll be telling that story to my children. Then when they're in bed, I'll be back to playing Santa along with my husband!

I'd love to hear how you are celebrating this holiday and if you have any favorite music you like to hear that makes this time special for you. Share with me, will you?

Merry Christmas.

Rachel's Medical Examination

In Claimed by the Beast, one of the scientists hunting the shifter pack has survived the explosion that killed most of the others at the end of Taken by the Beast. This particular scientist started with the best of intentions while experimenting on the wolf pack. But when things take a terrible turn and the serum he created to cure his fatal disease turns him into one of them, he has to take drastic measures to correct his mistake. When he picks up Rachel's scent with her unique version of the shifter gene, he is unable to resist her and ends up kidnapping her.

The scene below is the start of the medical exam Rachel endures at his hands. It's the first medical exam I've written and I'll be honest, it was sort of embarrassing to write! I had not a clue what to do and my first draft came back from my editor with the gentle comment 'this scene could use a little work.' 

Well, I did some work...here's a taste of it. 

* * * *

“You’ll get one chance, Rachel. If you fight me, even for a second, I won’t hesitate to give you the anesthetic. Clear?” Lance asked.

Rachel looked into his eyes but didn’t see even a hint of any kindness left there. She nodded.

“Good,” he said. Fishing the key out of his pocket, he unlocked her handcuffs. He cuffed one to the table leg and taped the other arm down to the side of the table.

“Spread your legs and bend your knees. Place your feet here,” he said.

She looked down the table at herself, hesitating.

“Come on now, girl,” he said, slapping her hip once, twice. “Get them up and spread.”

She had no choice, she knew it. If she refused, he would make her, and likely hurt her worse in the meantime. She lifted her legs, her face reddening, and placed her feet on the edges of the table.

“Shift your hips farther down. That’s right, to the edge of the table.”

Lance then took her right foot and wound the tape around her ankle and the table leg several times, then did the same with her left foot. Even if she closed her knees, he’d have full access to her, to all of her. 

When he was satisfied that she was securely bound, he put the tape aside and pulled his stool up between her legs.

“Lovely view,” he commented as her face turned a deeper shade of red.

He slipped on a pair of latex gloves and reached for a tub of Vaseline. She lifted her head off the table to watch in horror as he smeared a dollop of the stuff onto his finger.

“We’ll take your temperature first,” he said.

She began to shake her head furiously, but he simply carried on, calm as can be.

“I would have taken it orally but can’t really with that gag, can I?”

He met her eyes when he brought his finger to her anus and began to rub the stuff onto her. She tried not to make any sound and turned away, squeezing her eyes shut, cringing as she felt his slippery finger circling and circling.

“Relax your muscles, it will go easier,” he suggested.

In response, she tightened everything and pressed her knees together.

“Oh, that’s no way to behave,” he said, standing, slapping her inner thigh once, then twice with the back of his hand. “Open your legs wide Rachel. Now.” Throughout this, he kept that other finger pressed firmly against her bottom hole.

She made some noise and tried again to free herself but it didn’t matter. She was at his mercy. He smiled. 

“I’ll stay right here until you relax for me.” He pressed again, a little harder, smiling even wider when the very tip of his finger penetrated the tight ring. 

She whimpered, forcing herself to do as he said until finally he was satisfied and removed his finger. She then watched as he took a thermometer and greased it generously before sliding it inside her.

“There,” he said, standing. He removed his gloves and threw them into the trashcan. When he turned back to her, all she could look at was the bulge at the front of his pants and a new fear gripped her. 

“We’ll just let that sit for a while."
