I’m guessing about three of you might have noticed that I intentionally took a few months off from my blog. No, nothing was wrong. Just crazy busy in every part of my life and since I didn’t have any immediate releases coming soon, it felt like I could sneak away. Since no one called me out on it, it looks like it worked!
But, I’m thrilled to be ‘back in the saddle’ so to speak with a hot punishment scene from my upcoming novella, Call Sign: Thunder. This is my contribution to the smoking hot military boxed set, Hero to Obey which will be released this coming Tuesday, June 28th. You don’t have to wait; you can pre-order today!
This is the first excerpt I’m sharing from this story. This is a non-con scene featuring our damsel in distress, Allie Benson, and the crime lord who kidnapped her. Come back tomorrow for a longer excerpt!

Excerpt:
He scowled as he gave his verbal warning, “I suggest you keep your mouth closed unless asked a direct question. I’d hate to have to silence you.”
The way he said ‘silence’ left her wondering exactly what he meant by the phrase. Still, she pressed her luck.  “Where am I, and who the hell are you?”
A look that could only be described as sadistic glee danced in his eyes at her question. She saw him nod to someone standing behind the table she was lying on, and within one second she’d been rolled from her back to her front. The ropes at her wrists cut into her flesh as she attempted to fight the positioning. She felt a line of fire ignite across her upturned ass. Her thin sundress and panties were no protection whatsoever.
The pain took her breath away. She was still trying to cope with it when she saw him nod again through her tears. This time was worse because she knew what was coming before it arrived. The second track of fire was laid out just below the original. Two parallel lines of agony were left as reminders not to speak.
The punishment was effective. It had her pressing her swollen lips together tightly; afraid to utter even a sound for fear it would result in another strike with the punishment implement.
He grinned, clearly pleased with her new cooperation. “Very good. I see you can be trained.”

Was it possible that in the turbulence of the situation they could heal each other?
