Cynthia says: You just
want to see me weak and submissive.
Antony says: Princess,
I’ve seen you submissive. I’ve never seen you weak.
Blurb:
Antony Jacobson first held Cynthia Donohue in his arms at
a wintry December wedding. Four months later, the statuesque, silver-haired
woman continues to haunt his thoughts.
Cynthia is about to move to the West Coast to be closer
her daughter. As her plane touches down in her new city, she steels herself to
cope on her own. When she finds Antony waiting at the arrivals gate, a wave of
gratitude and desire floods through her.
A lifetime of independence hasn’t prepared Cynthia for a
submissive role in a relationship. She craves love, romance, and someone to
share sunsets. But deep down she believes her dreams are out of her reach.
Worse, they are a betrayal of her feminist principles. That’s fine: indomitable,
handsome Antony will wait.
She is tired and aching beyond all memory so Antony takes
charge. Very quickly, he realizes there is something wrong, very wrong, with
Cynthia’s health. He insists that she see a doctor.
She says he is overprotective. He agrees. He is also
determined to look after her if she won’t look after herself. A trip over his
knee shakes Cynthia to the core. In spite of herself she likes – she wants –
this loving correction. More importantly, she agrees that he may be right about
seeing a doctor.
Is Antony too much, too soon, or is he just what the
doctor ordered?

Excerpt
1
Antony pulled his hand
back and crossed his arms over his chest. “And when I dropped you at the
massage center, what did I say?”
“You said I could call
you for a ride home.”
“No, I told you to call me.”
“Told, asked. Same
difference.”
“You may be a whiz at
French, but you obviously need a few lessons in the English language. When I tell you to do something, it’s not
multiple choice, pick the most appealing option. It’s an order, pure and
simple. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I get what
you’re saying.”
“And when you fail to
obey me, there will be consequences. I want that clearly understood.”
“Con-se-quences,”
Cynthia said the word slowly, pronouncing the se syllable as say, as if
she were speaking French. She dragged it out to delay answering. “Would you
care to elaborate?”
“Remember when I
warned you that last night’s smack might just be a starter if you didn’t
behave?”
She nodded.
“I wasn’t kidding.
When you fail to look after yourself, I will spank you.”
His words hung in the
air between them like a sudden frost.
Her mouth was chalk
dry. “Spank me?”
“Yes, spank you. Bare
your bottom and turn you over my knee. I want to keep seeing you. I want to see
you well, managing your health sensibly. Obviously you’re forgotten how to do
that over the years and you need some supervision. My supervision. And when you
disobey me, I will punish you in the good, old-fashioned way. Do you
understand?” His voice was level, calm. Most of all it was authoritative.
“What? You think I’m
going to just submit to that?” Even as she asked the question her pussy
clenched with desire and her fingers itched to touch him, to say yes with
caresses. She wanted her body to consent so she wouldn’t have to say the words
out loud.
“That is exactly what
I think, Cindy.” He emphasized Cindy
in a way that said he was going to use that name affectionately and
proprietarily whether she agreed or not. He was telling her what the conditions
of seeing him would be as if he sensed, quite rightly, that this was what she
wanted.

cuddling in front of a winter fire, watching a summer sunset, listening to
