Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday! I didn't participate in Saturday Spanks last week because Real Life got in the way but I'm back now!
I am including an excerpt from my book His Lordship's Apprentice where the heroine Violet has been followed into the dining room by the unpleasant Mr Galloway. Nothing bad is going to happen at this point, but, you know, he's not a nice guy and he's putting doubts in her mind about the legitimate nice guy, Lord Hardcastle.
“This is the room where I saw you for the first time - that business with the escaped dove. Such naughty, terrible language you used. I hope Hardcastle punished you most severely for it.”
Violet felt herself blush crimson. Of course, Lord Hardcastle had caned her as a punishment for the incident back when she was still his maid but she had no desire to discuss it with odious Mr Galloway as she hoped it was a private matter between herself and Lord Hardcastle.
Had he discussed it with his friends? The idea that her punishment may have been turned into an entertaining anecdote infuriated her.
As always check out the other great links.
Interesting. So I assume Hardcastle had remained silent about the caning?
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely, lovely shame, Etta. I'm sure Lord Hardcastle was far too gentlemanly to discuss it. If he were one of my lords, of course, though, all his friends would know. . .
ReplyDeleteHeh. One of YOUR Lords and they would have all been there at the time joining in.
DeleteGalloway, what a jerk!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'll have to go along with her on this one.
ReplyDeleteHardcastle is a gentleman, of course he wouldn't discuss it with some like Galloway
ReplyDeleteGalloway sounds like a real sleaze.
ReplyDeleteOoh, those nasty seeds of doubt can be so poisonous, especially when deliberately planted by the wrong hands. Nice set up
ReplyDeleteLoved this book!!
