Today’s Saturday Spanks is from my historical romance, Lessons of Love. Jolie and Cole have been married much to her dismay, and now she is standing before him, naked and vulnerable on their wedding night.
Cole ended his inspection of his new wife and strode over to the massive bed. He sat on the edge and beckoned her with his hands and eyes. It was time to take what was his, but first she had to be taught a lesson. There was no room for disobedience of any kind between a man and his wife.
“I’m afraid you have to be punished love. You pushed my hands away and were defiant all day. You belong to me plain and simple, and you will do as I say the moment I tell you to. As your husband it is my job to make sure you are disciplined properly. A man can’t allow his wife to be rude and insolent. You need to be taught to respect me.”
“Please… no. I will do as you ask. Please.”
“It must be done, Jolie. You must be taught total obedience. Now no more arguments; or I will become angry. Come and lay over my lap. Itβs time for some correction, wife. You must be shown what will happen if you chose to misbehave.”
“Please no, Cole. I can’t. Please. I’m sorry.” Tears shone in Jolie’s eyes and her chest heaved as she took huge gulps of air, trying to calm herself, biting her lip and drawing her eyebrows together over eyes filled with fear. Cole thought she was a sight to behold, so erotic and yet so innocent.
“Come to me now, Jolie.” Cole growled and held out his hand, and Jolie went to him on trembling legs. He drew her down into his lap and slowly rubbed her back in soft circles. Then he wrapped his arm around her waist and bent her forward over his knee trapping her legs between his. Cole laid his hand on the soft smooth skin of her bottom and stroked it gently. He spread her thighs and slid his fingers between her netherlips, stroking her, building her passion even now when she was on the brink of punishment. He continued his assault of her sensitive nub, building her to the peak of pleasure until she was moaning with desire while his own body burned with longing at the sight and feel of her bent over his lap ready to be tamed to his will.
Cole raised his hand and brought it down hard shattering the hot desire that was burning inside her. All her senses were immediately focused on the stinging pain of her bottom. Cole’s palm smacked her bottom again and a crimson print appeared in its wake. Jolie cried out and rocked her hips but Cole kept a tight hold on her wiggling body.
“Please Cole. Noooo!”
Cole brought his hand down again and again, the cracking sounds his palm made on impact resounding through the bedchamber as Jolie’s creamy white skin turned scarlet under the fierce blows. She gasped and a huge sob escaped her lips, then her whole body shook with warring feelings as his fingers took to stroking between her legs for a few brief moments again.
“I am your husband, Jolie and you will do what I say. I control every inch of your body. Your pleasure and your pain lie in my hands alone. Do you understand me, wife?β Cole rubbed his palm over the burning flesh on her bottom as he waited for an answer. Stroking, dancing his fingertips over the scarlet skin, rubbing, and sending tingles through her body.
Book blurb for Lessons of Love
Please be advised that this novel is set in a time when women had no rights, especially when it came to their husbands. The heroine is taken, and forced into marriage. As a wife, she must submit to all things. This is a period in history where men took what they wanted. It was not seen as rape, it was seen as a duty. If they refused, they could be punished. This book contains graphic sex as well as physical discipline in the form of spanking. If these things offend you, please read something else.
Lessons of Love is an old fashion bodice ripper, full of passionate love scenes full of fire, and old fashioned discipline for those who refuse to obey. One with a beautiful, spirited heroine, and a dark, cruel rogue whose heart must be tamed. He takes her as his, and the battle of wills begins. One that has been fought for ages between a man who has no intention of ever feeling love, and a woman who must teach his heart to feel or be forever adrift in a life of cruelty.
In 1842 Louisiana, Jolie Dupree lives an oppressive life ruled by her strict and unloving stepfather. She has the luxuries of plantation life, but feels suffocated under his watchful eye. Fate brings an abrupt change in the form of Cole Jameson, a man full of wealth but short on acceptance into society. He needs the cloak of respectability to hide behind, and silence the rumors of girls gone missing while in his company. His business of selling genteel women to rich men with unsavory tastes, must not be discovered.
When he comes upon the lovely Jolie bathing in a secluded glen, he sees in her the answer to his problem. A young bride with an old family name will provide an aura of propriety. She is a girl from a suitable family, but also one who is not loved. She’s perfect for his scheme. He carries her home, bound, wet, and almost bare, with a story of saved virtue, and is granted her hand in marriage.
Cole is a man who has never loved and has no plans to start. He doesn’t give a care for the women whose lives he shatters, but Jolie isn’t just any woman. Her beauty bewitches him even as her stubborn will defies him time after time. He weds her with plans to make her an ornament on his arm and a slave in his bed. He will teach her how to please a man with a hard hand and an unfeeling heart.
Will Cole be able to keep his cold heart and continue with his business of white slavery, treating his new wife as cruelly as he does all his captives? Or will Jolie’s fiery spirit and beauty break through the ice that surrounds his heart and put an end to his cruel ways?

lovely word choice. what a hot snippet. I love how he lists what she’s done wrong
Well one always needs to know exactly why they are having their bottomed turned crimson. Thanks for stopping by.
I guess when she slapped his hand away, she didn’t understand there’d be consequences later. I suspect he starts out hard and unfeeling, despite the fact he is alternating pain and pleasure, that he will fall hard when he falls. The question is who will be the servant and who will be the master in the end?
There will be lessons for both of them to learn. The road to love will certainly come with many challenges. Thanks for stopping by.
Glad you think so. Sometimes it takes a firm hand. Thanks for stopping by.
Nicely done! Strict = hot. Woo!
You’re right that there will certainly be give and take here. Cole will be surprised if his heavy handed ways don’t make Jolie conform and be a good dutiful wife without any show of love on his part. Thanks for dropping in.
Oh yes…love the whole ‘wife’ thing. Bodice rippers can’t be beat so much scope for domination and discipline. Love a dark hero who she tames as much as he tames her!
Nice snippet. Interesting characters

Thanks for stopping by.
No matter what the time period, men seem to like a woman who will give them a run for their money. It’s always more fun that way. Hope Jolie is one of those women. Nice snippet, Jolynn!
Jolie has been forced into a marriage that is not to her liking, and though he is now her husband, Cole isn’t going to find meek submission in his new wife. He will have to reform and earn her love. Thanks.
He is very strict and unyielding, but he hasn’t met a woman like Jolie yet. Yes, wife thends to be the term when she’s done something. thank you.
Them I guess we can say he’s playing your song π Happy listening. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh boy, he sure sounds like a stern one. I enjoy that he calls her ‘wife’. I wonder if he does this only when she’s in trouble?
I control every each of your body …. mmmmm…. music to the ears.
Them I guess we can say he’s playing your song π Happy listening. Thanks for stopping by.
Bodice ripper and spanking…yum. Such a good match.
I agree and am glad you think so too.
I love when writers return to the “bodice ripper” style of writing that made me fall in love with romances in the first place. Thanks to books like this, I’m falling in love with them all over again. Lovely, hot excerpt. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Sidney. I used to have shelves full of the bodice rippers. I was a rabid fan in my teens and 20s. I like my passion to be wild and edgy. Glad you do too.
Yes he is a bastard. My heroes are anti heroes. They always have a dark side. The road to love is never easy in my books. Thanks for stopping by.
The bastard, giving her the almost pleasure and then giving her the pain. Very hot.
He has let her know his truth – I think she’ll soon believe him.
He is her husband and therefore her master. A man owned his wife back then, and she must obey him in everything. The question is, will he find himself having feelings for her that he doesn’t expect. Marriages were made to better the families social or financial status and love wasn’t often thought of, but Cole hasn’t met a woman like Jolie. Thanks for stopping by.

God, this is hot. His quiet, but implacable manner. How he tries to stoke her arousal even as he’s punishing her. It’s perfect.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it so much. Cole is quite masterful at creating warring feelings in her body and though she had no desire to marry him, he is making sure she desires him. As one who practices BDSM play, I love to blur the line between pain and pleasure. Thanks
