“Six on each cheek, but first a warm-up.”
Climbing on to the bed, he kneeled over the small of her back facing her feet, and gripping her cheeks he sharply squeezed. Hearing her gasp he squeezed a second time, then releasing her flesh he began to spank. Bouncing his hand from cheek to cheek he covered the fullness of her buttocks, and when he thought them sufficiently red he picked up the hairbrush.
“Are you ready for your punishment?” he asked, fondling her pink skin.
Crystal felt the heat in her bottom permeate her sex. The warm wetness was delicious, and she wriggled as much as her binds would allow. What she really wanted, what she was craving, was his wonderful cock gliding inside her.
“Crystal,” he said firmly, “are you ready?”
“Yes, Clay, I’m ready.”
“Before I begin, we have a new rule.”
“We do?”
“Yep, we do. When I’m punishin’ you, I expect you to call me, Sir.”
“Ooh, yes, Sir,” she groaned, a fresh surge of fever flooding her nether regions.
“Let’s try it again, are you ready?”
“Yes, Sir,” she bleated.
“This is gonna hurt, but it’s meant to, so bury your head in the comforter.”
Raising the oval, wooden hairbrush, he swatted it down on her right cheek twice, then her left cheek twice, then waited. She had tensed, but she hadn’t let out any significant cries of pain.
“That’s two, four to go.”
Repeating the same two smacks, he added some force. She wriggled and yelped, then turned her head to the side.
“Sir, it really does hurt, Sir.”
“Yep, and now the last two, and these will be the most painful. Remember, Crystal, I’m not angry, I’m teachin’ you a lesson. If you’ve got a problem, you talk to me, and no runnin’ off.”
“Yes, Sir, I’ll remember.”
“Head into the comforter.”
He waited until she was settled, then landed the last swats slow and hard, making each of them count. Her howls told him they had made an impression, and dropping the hairbrush at her side he began to rub away the burn.
“Do we understand each other?” he asked sternly.
“Yes, Sir, yes,” she panted.
“Is there anything you’d like to say?”
“I’m sorry, and please will you make love to me?”
“Oh, baby, of course,” he sighed, “but I have another new rule. You must ask permission before you come, understood?”
“Yes, Sir,” she whimpered, then softly added, “thank you. I love your rules.”
Her comment sent a rush of sparks to his member, and dropping his fingers into her sex her found her wondrously wet. Sliding off the bed he quickly stripped, then climbed back up and kneeled behind her.
“Here you go,” he purred, and taking hold of her waist he thrust home.
Letting out a moan of pleasure she surrendered to his slow, powerful strokes. She loved being tied up, she loved the feeling of helplessness, and she loved his strong hands holding her in place. She loved giving up control, period. She loved every part of it. She even loved the hot sting that was burning her bottom. He accelerated, pumping her with abandon, and when she begged for permission to come, he was unable to contain himself.
“Yes, yes,” he groaned, feeling his cock about to explode.
Moments later, when she erupted, and the shuddering orgasm fired through her body, the image of his face when they first met flashed through her mind.
A short while later, laying in his arms, she raised herself up and looked down at him.
“Clay?” she whispered.
“Yeah, babe?”
“Remember when we first met?”
“Of course. It’s a day I’ll never forget, not ever.”
“Did you feel something, I mean, something inside you?”
“Like a kinda knowin?”
“Exactly, almost like a silent voice.”
“I did,” he said soberly, “and that’s a great way of puttin’ it. A silent voice.”
She was quiet for a moment, then leaning over his body she stared at the honey colored dog laying on his doggy bed gazing up at her.
“Don’t you think it’s weird that a dog as sweet and friendly as Lucky was so neglected for so long? I mean, isn’t it strange that no-one ever picked him up, or took him to a shelter?”
“Things happen that way sometimes.”
“Look how golden his coat is turning.”
Shifting on to his side, Clay followed her gaze and stared down at him.
“You’re right. Almost looks like it’s shimmerin’.”
“Lucky was the perfect name for him,” she said softly, “but not just because he was Lucky that I found him, but because when he came into our lives, everything changed, and I began to feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I know that’s a corny saying, but it’s true.”
“You’re right again,” Clay sighed. “Sometimes, when I look at him, I see a real old soul.”
“Me too,” she sighed. “I honestly think he’s an angel sent to watch over us, like a spirit of some kind.”
“What did you say?”
“I said, he’s like a spirit of some kind.”
“Lucky, come here and lay with us,” Clay said quietly.
Rising to his feet, Lucky padded across the room, and with an easy bound he was on the bed. Pushing his way between them, he laid down, let out a sigh and closed his eyes.
“Time for a nap?” Crystal whispered.
“Apparently,” Clay grinned. “It’s almost as if he’s tired from workin’ too hard.”
“Huh, maybe he is,” she murmured, then idly glancing out the window, she caught her breath. “Clay, look.”
“What?”
“The mountains.”
Turning his head he saw the clouds had parted, and the sun was casting a brilliant light on the snow covered peaks. Shifting shadows made it appear that the mountains were alive, that they were breathing and moving.
“Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen them look quite like that,” he said softly.
“They’re full of magic,” Crystal breathed.
“You don’t know how right you are,” Clay murmured, then leaning across their wondrous mutt he softly kissed her.

FIVE STAR REVIEWS FOR
MAGGIE CARPENTER
WHEN A COWBOY LOVES A WOMAN
5.0 out of 5 stars
I hope in my next life I get to meet one of Maggie's Cowboys- I'd take anyone of them in her series! Hot, Hot, Hot! It's been awhile since I've read any work by Maggie only to be reminded of her incredible talent! Moving on to one of the remaining five that I have not read yet.
THE COWBOY AND THE GIRL IN THE HOT PINK CHAPS
5.0 out of 5 stars
Love the title, very catchy! If you have never read a Maggie Carpenter book then you are in for an absolute treat. Nobody writes better stories of dominant men and sassy women in need of discipline. If you are already a Maggie Carpenter fan you will be thrilled with this newest release.
THE HEIRESS AND THE COWBOY CONTRACTOR
5.0 out of 5 stars
Obviously Maggie Carpenter understands what a submissive needs and how she thinks. What's remarkable here is how well she understands how a dominant thinks. So, this book, as well as many of her others, is an intense and accurate portrayal of the relationship of two people who need each other. Building trust. Handling conflict. Establishing roles and rules. I feel comfortable saying, "Perfect."
THE COWBOY’S RULES: THE SURPRISE
5.0 out of 5 stars
I always enjoy reading about Cassie and Chad, they're like old friends and of course we can't forget Mickey. I love how she had Chad's horse showing in this book and Cassie's jumping. This book was HOT, hotter than the other ones I think, lots of sex and great spankings of course. Chad really helped bring out more of Cassie's submissive side in this one. Also the finally g
et married in this one! which is bittersweet because it probably means this is the end of their adventure. It was a fun ride!
THE WANTED COWBOY
5.0 out of 5 stars
From the other reviews and the description, we know what this story is about, but with Ms Carpenter you never know what twists she might devise to make it sexier, more intriguing, and so much more fun to read. This is another great book, one I enjoyed from start to finish, and I'm hoping there's more to come. If you like strong cowboys and strong, independent women who have a mind of their own, this is for you.
THE COWBOY’S RULES: 2
5.0 out of 5 stars
Wow, this book is HOT. I loved the first one, and this one is HOT. There is a lot of sex and spanking, but I love how it all makes sense. All the sex and spankings flow with the story, and the chemistry between Chad and Cassie is dynamite. The other two characters, Marty and Hannah, really come into their own as well. I love Marty, he's like the big lumbering cowboy that can bear hug like no-one else, and you can really see him. I hope there's a Rules 3. (Hint, Hint). I'm thinking there might be the way this one ended. Great read. Truly great read.write a continuing story. A very happy read. Loved every page.
THE COWBOY’S SECRET
5.0 out of 5 stars
This book was everything I was hoping for. To have a cowboy be human was such a refreshing change, and it only enhanced his sexiness. Self-doubt plagues us all, and these bigger than life heroes are always perfect, never have worries or concerns about themselves. That's all well and good, and I enjoy their heroic personalities just as much as anyone, but to have a guy be so incredibly real - it was great. He's still strong, and steamy, and delivers spankings without hesitation, but he is plagued by his past. It's not that the woman saves him, though she kind of does, is that enough time has gone by that he is finally over the crap that happened to him. It's a great book, really great. Left me smiling and sighing.
THE COWBOY’S RULES
5.0 out of 5 stars
What can I say? Sexy cowboys in charge and the women who love/hate them! Very romantic and loved this book and series of Maggie Carpenter's. She catches the readers' attention and keeps the suspense up. Terrific scenes that make you really think that you are there as a spectator or maybe you can imagine yourself in the female's role.
