Welcome to my Saturday Spanking snippet.
Last week I introduced Sophia and Nathanial, the hero and heroine of my new spanking romance, Sophia and the Duke. Sophia has been rude to Nathanial in front of a servant, after promising to be good. Now, she is facing the consequences and has handed him one of her slippers – she’ll probably never wear it again….

The sole of the slipper was leather, the upper silk embroidered over canvas. She passed him the footwear and retreated to behind the back of the chair. Nathanial slapped the sole of the slipper against his palm a few times before nodding.
“Bend over the back of the chair and use the armrests for support,” he said firmly.
Sophia complied. All resistance had drained away at the sound of his dominating voice. She draped herself over the Chippendale chair, rising up on her tiptoes to rest her hips on the back before grasping the curved armrests. Her hair tumbled forward, bouncing onto the seat. She stared at the elaborate embroidery and closed her eyes.
Nathanial lifted up her petticoat and uncovered her bare bottom. She shivered as he stroked each buttock in turn, running a hand over her contours, tracing the line between her thigh and cheek. Then he tapped the slipper against one. She screwed her eyes up, holding her breath.

Regency romance – can love bridge the gap between a duchess and her colonial husband?
After the passing of her husband, the elderly Duke of Brockenhurst, twenty-two-year-old Sophia chafes at her family’s expectations during her lengthy mourning period. When she is free to re-emerge in society at last, at her grandmother’s insistence she entertains the courtship of Nathaniel Hartwell, a distant cousin of the old duke and the man next in line for the title.
To her shock, Sophia learns that Nathaniel has spent the last eight years living as a trapper and fur trader in the mountains of Canada, isolating himself from the world after the tragic death of the woman he loved. Though he is a rough, uncivilised man, his devilishly handsome looks and commanding presence excite her in a way nothing ever has before.
Sophia sets out to transform the new duke into someone suitable for polite society, but when her comments become disrespectful and mocking Nathaniel takes issue with her behaviour. Almost before she knows it, she is over his lap and her aristocratic bottom has been bared for a sound spanking.
Knowing that it is the right choice for all concerned, Nathaniel asks her to be his wife, but despite the fact that their marriage begins as one of convenience he is determined to show Sophia the intense pleasure a strong man’s dominant lovemaking can bring her. Though her spoiled attitude occasionally earns her a bright red, well-spanked bottom, as the weeks pass her desire for him grows ever stronger. But can love truly bridge the gulf between people from such different worlds?
Publisher’s Note: Sophia and the Duke is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.
5* Amazon Review
This book is very well written, offering not only good complex characters but a particularly honest and captivating look at relationship evolvement. Most definitely hot sex and D/s are at the core of the chemistry between Nathaniel and Sophia. The reader is allowed to see how true commitment, as well as, shifting and balance of power affects the union. Beyond the story of the couple are the elements of England following the French Revolution and a tantalizing element from the New World frontier. The story pulled me into it, as I really had not initially expected

That’s a mistake Sophia probably won’t make again very soon. Great snippet, Jaye.
She’s likely to be more careful with what she says from now on.
Very good, but I’d have been happy with a few more sentences!
Maybe next Saturday…..
What an awesome scene. I can’t wait to read this one.
It flowed nicely this one. Always great when a scene comes together.
Great sample!
Thank you!
Hi Jaye, what a great scene. I loved how I could virtually feel what Sophia felt here. I love this, thank you for sharing.
hugs
Nina
There is a certain empathy with her situation….

You and me both!
