Melissa Toselli is a wild child
with a troubled past. Having been on her own since she was fifteen she is
desperate to find the one who will take her into his arms, heart, and control.
She has a tendency to pick all the wrong men for all the wrong reasons.
Unbeknownst to Melissa she has
caught Corbin’s Bend newbie, Jason Donovan’s, attention. The wild spitfire
stirred something inside of him that he could not let go. He could see right
through Melissa’s devil may care attitude to the vulnerable child within who
just needed someone to care for and watch out for her. She was crying out for
some guidance; both the kind that would tuck her in at night and the kind that
would take her over a knee for some much needed discipline and structure.
Can Jason give Melissa what she needs and tame the wild child that she
is? Can he show her the way a true gentleman treats the woman he has feelings
for? Will Melissa turn out to be too much for Jason to handle? Will she fall
back into her old ways? Or will Jason and Melissa find exactly what their
looking for in each other?
EXCERPT
Setting her down on the
sofa, he sat next to her. He should probably let her sober up the rest of the
way before having this conversation. Taking in the firm set of her jaw and
ramrod straight line of her spine, she was obviously ready to have this out
now. “What were you thinking, Melissa?” He started as gently as he could, but
could feel all of his earlier emotions begin to boil again.
Melissa obviously felt
them too because she immediately went on the defensive. Her eyes flashed. “You
think there’s something wrong with going out dancing?”
He leveled his eyes on
hers. “Is that really the stance you want to take right now?”
“Why not?” she spat. “I
went out to have some fun. While I admit it got a little out of control, it’s
over now. As you can see, I’m fine.”
His mouth dropped open
in dismay. “A little out of control,” he sputtered. “Melissa, if I hadn’t found
you, who knows what would have happened to you.” He clenched his fists. “You were
passed out against a wall for God’s sake.”
“So what are you going
to do about it?” she dared him.
Shock zinged through
him as her words sunk in. He didn’t know what had gotten into his normally
level-headed friend, but this was not a dare he was going to resist. “Melissa,
so help me you are about to wind up panties down, bottom up over my knee if you
don’t take this conversation seriously, starting now.”
“Oh, I’m taking it
seriously, Jason,” she answered back, the fire gone from her voice. “I just
think you’re exactly like everyone else in this community. You talk a big game,
rushing in to rescue me, but you’re afraid to put your money where your mouth
is and give me what I really need.”
Was she really daring
him to spank her? Did she honestly think he wouldn’t follow through? His mind
scrambled to keep up with the turn of events along with any potential ramifications,
but there was no doubt in his mind that before this night was over she would be
getting exactly what she asked for.
“Are you going to spank
me or what?” she asked, a fierce bravado flashing in her eyes.
He shook his head at
the sheer courage she could muster at the blink of an eye. He stood, pulling
her with him. Crooking a finger under her chin, he lifted it so that he could
look into her shining eyes. “Oh, I’m going to blister your bottom all right,”
he said, lowering his voice, allowing the energy to sizzle between them for a
few heartbeats. He ran his hands down her arms noticing the little shiver she
gave at the contact. “But not yet.” He could see how desperately she needed to
gather her thoughts. There would be no spanking until he determined that she
was sober and in a better frame of mind. Turning her toward the bathroom, he
gave her bottom a soft smack. “Take a shower. We’ll talk when you’re done.” She
gave a little squeak, but headed in the direction he sent her.
