The Cowboy and the Mail-Order Bride IX

Hi, everyone.

This week is a continuation of last week's snippet,

and Eleanor is punished

for sticking her husband

with a pin in a bid for attention.



“Lie down.  Face down.  Grab the bars of that bed and don’t you dare let go of them.  I’m going to strap you hard, and if you’re real lucky, I won’t use my belt, too.”

I wriggled into position, afraid to argue anymore, and I reached out and grabbed the bars of the brass headboard.

The first lash snapped against my naked skin and I shrieked.  It didn’t hurt that bad, but it surprised me, as the first stroke always does.  He brought the bridle down again and this time it did sting.

I hope you liked the snippet.
