9/14 Saturday Spanking Snippet
Boy, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. This week’s snippet is from my up-and-coming release, Masters of the Castle, Book 3: Saving Sara. When you’re done reading mine, don’t forget to click the above spanking image to zip back and check out all the other talented authors who have participated this week!

The snippet:
She stared at him now, her reluctance and uncertainty all that he could read.
He took another step forward and she promptly retreated, saying nothing, her eyes growing silently wider as, step after step, he walked her across the room. Her retreat ended when she bumped up against the edge of his dining table. With no place left to go, she had to stop.
“Put your hands on your head.”
She hesitated so long he thought he might have to force her compliance, but after only a second more, she raised her arms and laced her fingers behind her neck.
“You can do better than this,” he told her softly. “You’d better start trying, because I don’t think your little bottom can take all the reminders you’re trying to earn.”

The blurb for Saving Sara:
Once upon a time, Jackson and Sara were friends. Close friends. Friends with benefits, even. For him, making that leap into a committed relationship seemed like a no-brainer. For her, it was scary as hell. Having seen more than one submissive become lost in the illusion of a dungeon relationship incapable of surviving in real life, and now on the verge of falling in love herself, Sara has no idea who she’s falling in love with: Jackson the reality, or the masterful illusion.
Then the accident happened and with Jackson offering to take care of her, that’s when Sara knew–she was going to lose herself in the illusion. Terrified, she ran.
Now, years later, Jackson is chief of security for The Castle–the hottest BDSM fantasy resort in the country. Summoned to the dungeon on a trouble call, Sara is the last person he expects to find huddled up against the bathroom wall. After three long years filled with even longer nights, he’s had plenty of time to consider all he’d do if ever she fell back into his life. When he sees his chance, he doesn’t hesitate. One day—that’s all he has before the buses come and Sara runs again. One day to rekindle old passions, to bury old fears, to prove once and for all just what is illusion and what is not.
One day.
Welcome to The Castle.
LOVE the reunited lovers storylines. I just started the first one in this series, Maren. Looking forward to reading more.
I really need to finish books before I start reading more, but I can’t help it, dammit!
LOL! If finishing the previous book were a requirement to buying the next book, my Kindle would be damned empty. 🙂
Great snippet and I love the blurb too. One for the kindle
Thanks, Tara!
🙂 Love it. And I just read your site’s URL -bad girls corner! Perfect. Looking forward to this Maren.
Thank you so much, Natasha! I just got the final (I hope) edit done and the book sent off to the real editors. It’s moving right along!
Yay!
I love this series!
This one is going to be fantastic! I am literally jumping up and down right now!
Great job on the snippet, Maren!
I can’t wait to read more!
LOL! Thanks, Katherine!
This sounds like a wonderful series and I need to get to reading.
Thanks so much!
“Put your hands on your head.” *sigh* I love those words. There’s so much that can happen, and so often does! I’m looking forward to the reminders that her bottom is about to receive. 🙂
That command is one of my favorites, too.Hopefully, when you get to read the whole scene, you’ll like where it ends.
I’m sure I will, Maren. It looks awesome!
Sounds like an awesome read. I’m rooting for this couple already!
Aw, thank you!
I like the reminders on her bottom…love it!
😀 So do I.
I loved “your little bottom can’t take all the reminders…” Uh-oh.
I have a fondness for spanking threats, especially when the alpha male uttering them has no problem following through. 🙂 I’m glad you liked the snippet, Starla!
Great snippet. I like that she has no way out.
Oh, she has a way out. She can always say her safeword. The question is, will she? 🙂
Hot snippet. Nicely written blurb too.
Thanks, Cara!
Only 1 day for so many reminders. Nice… Can’t wait for this one Maren. Please hurry!
The book is done! I’ve pinned a fiver to its lapel, wished it the best of luck and shipped it off to see the editors. …sigh…it doesn’t call…it doesn’t write…
OOh I love the look of this Maren and the snippet! 🙂
Thank you, Constance!
Sooo curious about this one, Maren!!
Thanks, Renee! I hope you’ll like it,
Nice snippet, Maren!
Well done — as usual! You never disappoint. Looking forward to adding this to my Maren Smith collection.
Lovely scene! Just finished the first book in this series and loved it, need to hurry up and read book 2 now so I can go in order!
Great way to call her out to her limits, with “I don’t think your little bottom can take. . .” Yum!

Maren, I just have to find time to read this series, I’ve heard *very* good things about it!
