I’ve been AWOL from Saturday Spankings for a few weeks, but I’m back. I’m waking up Gemma and Jason, they’ve waiting in the wings for a return. The next book in the Sublime Trust series, Ruled by Him, is due out in a few weeks.
Here is my snippet – Gemma has broken a rule. Over Jason’s knee, he’s giving her a hard spanking with a paddle, she is counting and it’s a struggle. However, Gemma has a strange perception of numbers, an unusual sensory condition. If you’ve heard of it, you might recognise the clues, if not, the name of the condition is at the bottom of the post.
***
The paddle, one of those with holes drilled into it, might as well have been a cricket bat swinging to hit a six. The noise it made shocked her. A truly awful thwack, and she wondered if Brooks, in his apartment above, could hear it. The bones in her pelvis jarred; she wished she had more fleshy padding. The occasional rub down of her inflamed cheeks hardly made an impression.
Hot tears streamed down her cheeks. She cried because it alleviated the fiery pain raging in her bottom. Counting took effort. She didn’t want to lose count, fearful he would repeat the numbers she’d missed. Numbers. She focused on them, the way they floated before her eyes and took shape. Each one brightly coloured. It helped. Somehow, numbers always did.
***
Blurb –
Gemma Lucas’s life is about to be transformed by the new arrival and her ambition to become an artist. To help deal with the mounting challenges, Gemma enters into a new agreement with her Dominant Jason, one that requires her to be his submissive full-time.
Adapting to her husband’s increasing dominance requires adjustment, especially when a threatening letter is found in her bag at a dance class.
Will the couple’s secret kinky lifestyle be exposed or will Jason’s ruthless approach to his enemies save them.
Cover reveal coming soon!

Gemma’s secret – she’s a synesthete. Something to Google 🙂
I’ve never heard of synesthesia, but it sounds fascinating. Great snippet Jaye, I really enjoyed it and I learned something 🙂
I found out about it at a sensory workshop – fascinated me ever since.
Love the way she focuses on the numbers and how they come alive.
The way she ‘sees’ numbers pops up from time to time.It makes for interesting counting!
I love Gemma and Jason! He is so sexy and dominant! I will be looking for this one 🙂
Thank you. I hope to have the book out soon.
That’s a really intriguing blurb.
Love how the numbers take a shape. Very visual
It makes writing about her perceptions more intriguing. She actually doesn’t know she has the condition – for her it is normal.
I love Gemma and Jason too. It will be another book to add to my ever growing list.
Those TBRs grow into bottomless pits!
Ouch! Great snippet! 🙂
Yes, ouch, she doesn’t get punished very often, so it wasn’t a spanking she wanted.
Interesting! That paddle sounds painful!
Wooden paddle with holes – guaranteed to hurt.
Hot snippet! Never heard of synesthesia.
I came across the condition years ago and added it into her character as the books developed.
I love Gemma and Jason too, looking forward to this! Great snippet! Ouch! Poor Gemma. Love how the numbers come alive. Hadn’t heard of synesthesia either.

It is a rare sensory condition and many people don’t know they have it. It makes for interesting issues with counting for Gemma.
I love that she counted floating, brightly colored numbers. Great visual!
She hopes it will distract her from the spanking – I like the idea of floating numbers too 🙂
Great snippet! This must have been a rough moment for Gemma, but that she has synesthesia sounds exciting. Never heard of it before, but if numbers had appeared coloured in my school years, I’d probably have been much better at maths!

She does have a problem doing colour by number paintings – they’re not the numbers she associates with the colours. It is an unusual condition and fun to write about.
oh wow, I have a genuine fear of paddles like that!
I’d run at the sight of it too!
That is powerful writing in such a brief excerpt, and definitely makes me want to read more. Very well done, Jaye:)
Thanks Trent. Processing pain is different for everyone and synthesthia seemed an unusual way of counting during a punishment.
