This week, I thought I'd share more from the same scene where Reece is spanking Daisy. Although Daisy does not agree with his decision to punish her, she complies. This scene is from Reece's point of view, and I think it's rather poignant.
He continued his
duties. Three quick swats to the same
spot on her left cheek, followed by an equal number on the right.
Daisy neither spoke nor moved.
By now warmth spread across her buttocks. His fingers started to sting, but his task had
just begun.
He brought his palm down repeatedly on the same spot on
the underside of her cheek, but it brought no response from Daisy. She did not complain or resist. Her stoic submission created an ache in his
heart. While he tried to connect with
her, she shut him out.
Yikes! Daisy is definitely braver than I could be, I'm sure. It also seems like she's trying to stay emotionally distant from this punishment. Great excerpt. Makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm kind of sad for them. It's amazing how we can shut ourselves off even during so personal an act as this. Nicely done, Celeste.
ReplyDeleteShe’ll have to give eventually and react…won’t she? Another great story from this anthology :)
ReplyDeleteLike how she is giving him the cold shoulder. An appropriate passive-aggressive power play. Nice drama.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! This was a bit more of an emotional scene than I usually write. But don't worry...they eventually work everything out. :)
ReplyDeleteoh, that breaks my heart. beautiful snippet.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so telling..at that moment she is so very mad. I wonder what is going to happen next? Intense but oh so perfect a snippet.
ReplyDeleteGrr, your "comment as" box is giving me trouble again.
ReplyDeleteSpankings will prevail, and there will be happiness soon. :D You know that I love this story.
This is a great scene-- very realistic passive-aggressive moment!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are at a crossroads in this scene.
ReplyDeleteWonderful scene.
