That hadn’t been real?
“Did you hear me?”
“Yes, sir,” she said again.
He walked out of his office then, leaving her with her nose on the wall and her bare bottom on that chair and suffocating under the most incredible sensation of utter chastisement that she had ever felt. The wall began to blur before her.
She wouldn’t cry. She refused to cry. Cadence never, ever cried, not even with a freshly spanked bottom and her nose as close to being in the corner as that stupid coat rack would allow.
The blurb:
The ad read: “Full-time housekeeper/nanny position. Live-in preferred. References and experience required. Salary negotiable. Apply in person.”
Cadence Westmore knew she wasn’t qualified for the job, but for a paycheck and an apartment, she was determined to apply. As an ex-dancer with two bad legs and no experience with children, she expected to be turned down. What she didn’t expect was the instant attraction she felt when Corbin Bend’s resident doctor took her in his capable hands.
A widower with three boys to raise, Dr. Marcus Devon knew he needed help. But he also knew Cadence Westmore was the last person he should hire. Still he gave her the job, opening his home and his life to a woman as stubborn as she was lovely, and as determined not to need him as he was to make her his. She was her own worst enemy, pushing herself to exceed her wounded body’s physical limitations until the doctor finally stepped in to apply some good old-fashioned bare-bottom medicine. The more she rebelled, the more he took her across his knee until at last Cadence realized if she wasn’t careful, she just might lose everything all over again.
I’m loving all these snippets, Maren. Makes me itchy for the book, you wicked, wicked girl. I do have Emily’s book already, just wanted to let you know I stopped by to read.
Thank you for stopping by. 🙂 I think this was my favorite comment today. “Wicked, wicked girl” lol
Me too (on Kathryn’s comment). I’m kind of loving this 8 sentences before release. I might borrow the idea if you don’t mind.
Go for it! This has been a lot of fun!
What is it about the corner that makes the tears flow??
Having nothing to do but face those walls and think about being stuck there is probably what does it. I don’t cry when I get stuck there. I’m usually too mad still to hit that point. lol
Oh no! not a real one??? I love the stupid coat rack comment… so often we need to direct our upset at something. I do have Emily’s book. Thanks.
My husband never used to believe in corner time, but he’s since changed his mind. I have had one or two “stupid coat rack” thoughts of my own while facing the wall. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I agree with Kathryn and Natasha, you are making me crazy with need! You’re like a blogging, snippet sharing Dom 😉 And you’re sort of evil.
According to my husband, I’m all kinds of evil. Bwa-hahahahahah!
I agree with Casey, but please keep sharing.
I just finished Emily’s book this morning. I need to hurry with the others so I’m ready for this one.
I’m glad you’re enjoying this so much!
I’ve said it before – this is slow torture and I’m not even in the corner.
Sarah’s Tutorial is already on my kindle – thanks.
Aww…I was going to say I’m glad you’re enjoying this, but that kinda means I’m enjoying torturing you guys, and that’s not very nice, is it? lol
What Renee said. That was my first thought after reading this snippet. I already have the book. Thanks.
You’re welcome! And thanks for taking the time to visit. 🙂
Can’t stand reading snippets and waiting for book on the 23rd. Time please speed up!!!
Boy, I can’t wait either. lol!
Reading these snippets is like waiting for fresh bread to come out of the oven. It’s going to be so good if I can last that long.
Oh!!!! It’s not the 23rd yet. I must stop torturing myself with these snippets!!
I like the “wicked, wicked girl” comment! And Natasha’s going to do it, too? Oh, you are a bad influence!
