I have Megan Michaels here today with an excerpt from her new book Finding Submission! I'm so excited she came over to hang out! Have you read anything by her yet? If not you need to fix that- she writes some smoking hot stuff so be forewarned...
Hey Casey and fellow spanking fans!
Thank you for hosting Finding
Submission on your blog today. I hope you enjoy the sexy excerpt
I have for you all today.
Blurb:
Preston
Harrison is the picture of the gentleman Southern lawyer, as handsome
and affable, as he was strict and precise. His ordered professional
life suited him and his temperament, not a thing out of place, not an
event unplanned. But he was more than a lawyer though -- he was also
a Dom, and he made sure his personal life and professional life never
intersected. Never that is until his world is turned upside down by
one Avery Beauchamp, a stubborn, adorable, and way too sassy pocket
Venus.
Being
the only daughter of a respected Judge should’ve set Avery up for a
life of ease, of privilege. But Avery had a habit of not doing
anything she should -- she only did the things she wanted. Marching
to the beat of her own (very smart-mouthed) drummer had always served
the headstrong girl well… until the day she ran afoul of a little
thing called the law.
A
strict southern lawyer and a color-outside-the-lines misdemeanor
offender should have been like oil and water. But when a Judge’s
daughter finds herself on the wrong side of the law, she’s
presented with a choice: a fine and possible jail time, or an
alternative sentence. Preston -- against his better judgment -- finds
himself agreeing to the rather unique sentence for the wayward girl:
house arrest for Avery.
There
was one problem for Avery though: the house where she would serve her
sentence wasn’t hers -- it was Preston’s. Worse, as she learns
what working for the strict Preston Harrison really means -- and how
deep her own repressed desires might go -- she fears that she might
lose more than her freedom to the devastatingly handsome Dom. She
might lose her heart too.

EXCERPT
In the following excerpt, Preston is
cuddling with Avery after a punishment and they are discussing
aftercare.
Avery did as she
was told, and felt his body cuddle up to hers. He wrapped his leg
over hers, and then tucked her into his chest. His arm settled over
her body, his big hand cupping the weight of her breast, quietly and
insistently kneading and squeezing. It was comforting. It was safe
and secure.
“Why do you have
a bed in here?” She looked back over her shoulder at him.
“Well, to do
aftercare. It’s softer than sitting on the floor, and more
comfortable than trying to curl up in a chair. I want to hold you
and make sure you’re okay. I want you to feel cared for, and taken
care of.” Preston turned her so she was facing him, pushing her
hair over her shoulder. “Even though you were the cause of the
punishment, and I’m the person who meted it out, I also want to be
the person who gives you the love and attention you deserve. “
Avery didn’t know
what to do with that. No one had ever cared how she felt after a
scolding or grounding. Hell, most of the time, no one cared how she
felt period. Sometimes the nannies did, but the people in
her life had typically been too consumed with their lives to care
about her. She stared at him, thinking.
“Such a serious
girl. What’re you thinking about, Avery?”
“I… don’t
know. I’m not used to this. People I know don’t treat me like
this.” She averted her eyes, the admission making it suddenly too
much to maintain eye contact.
“Explain that,
sweetheart. What do you mean people don’t treat you like this?”
Preston stroked her hair and brushed a light kiss to her forehead.
“Well, I haven’t
been spanked in years, and as I got older I was grounded -- or just
ignored. They would let me know they were angry and then they would
leave me alone to stew and simmer in my room. But I never felt
forgiven.” She pulled at a piece of loose thread in the bedspread.
“I would feel bad, and when no one would talk to me I would feel
even worse -- and because I felt bad I would just misbehave all over
again.”
“I’m sorry,
Miss Avery. If you’re punished in this house, you’ll always
receive aftercare. It’s one of the benefits of being punished in
my book. I’ll always care for your feelings, and what you have to
say about anything. It may not stop a punishment, but it’ll let
you feel heard. You’ll always know you’re restored to a clean
slate, and that I haven’t lost my care and concern for you.”
Awww! That was a really sweet scene. I think aftercare is the most important part about a punishment. The sub has to know that they've been forgiven and are still loved. Great snippet and I can't wait to start reading this!!
