Confessions of a Spanking Author
Page 16
Finally, finally, he stopped. I was panting and sweating and sobbing. "Now, Bethany," in the mirror, I could see that he had stuck the ruler into the same hand that he was pinning my wrists with, "let's talk about that sign again." My bottom was scarlet. He dropped his hand to it and rubbed. His palm felt like sandpaper against my raw skin.
"Please, oh please..."
"What should the sign have said?"
"What?" I hadn't a clue about what he wanted to hear.
Deftly, he popped the ruler into the other hand and brought it down, a hard one across the thighs. "What did the sign say? 'Violators will be'... what?"
"Towed." I sobbed out.
"Okay. But what's happening to you?"
I gasped, panting, "Spanked. I'm getting spanked."
He cracked me again and I jumped. Feeling the ruler again after the break was almost worse than the steady whacks. "So what should the sign have said?"
I knew what he wanted me to say. "Violators will be spanked," I mumbled out.
He brought his arm up very high and let the ruler come down with biting force. "Again."
I wailed. The pain was so bad I just couldn't...
He raised his arm. "You better say it..."
"Spanked. Violators will be spanked."
Another smack. "Again."
"Violators will be spanked."
"Again."
"Violators will be spanked. Please, no more, I just can't..."
He put the ruler down on the bed and put his hand on my bottom. I watched his face as he looked at me. "God, you're red." His expression was mildly curious, but not sorry or sympathetic at all. He rubbed absently for a few seconds, then pulled me off his lap and stood me in front of him. "Now, I want you to go, just like you are, and sit at the kitchen table, and write one hundred times, 'violators will be spanked'."
"Kevin..." This was terrible. It reminded me of being in second grade again, with awful Mrs. Zuwicki who made us write "I will not talk" over and over. In a way, it was almost worse than the spanking.
"Do it, Bethany. Or I'll put you right back over my lap and will talk about cooperation a little."
I knew arguing was pointless. I reached for my pants.
"Oh, no. You just leave those right where they are."
So I waddled down the hall to the kitchen, jeans and panties at my thighs, sweat running off my back under my blouse, bare, scalding-hot ass plainly visible. I sat on the hardwood chair, yelping as my throbbing cheeks encountered the hard surface. Kevin brought me a notebook and a pen, his face still impassive. "Write. Nice penmanship. And no wiggling."
So I wrote. With tears running down my face and sweat running down my back and my bottom burning and throbbing like it never had before. One hundred times. Violators will be spanked.
I think my husband saved that sheet of paper somewhere. And to this day, I never see a no parking zone sign that has the words "Violators will be towed" on it without thinking of that night and mentally substituting the other phrase.
And guess what? I don't park there.
Bethany Burke
Publisher and CEO of Blushing Books
Bethany has been writing professionally since the mid 1980s. In the early 1990s, bothered by the what she perceived as an increasing trend towards "politically correct romance," Bethany began self-publishing her spicy romances and sending her xeroxed books out through snail mail. With the dawn of the Internet in the late '90s, Bethany was freed (at last!) from all those tiresome late night trips to the 24-hour Kinkos and from standing in line at the post office. She launched her first website on a September day in 1998, went out for dinner, and came home to find that sixteen people had bought one of her books. She never knew how they found her, but she's never looked back.
She started what is recognized as the first major pay fiction site on the Internet for women in 1999, and began publishing actual E-books in 2001, the first publisher anywhere to do so. Blushing Books has grown into a company representing more than 200 authors, publishing 25-30 books per month. We currently dominate lists in Western Erotic Romance and Victorian Erotic Romance on Amazon.
