The #6BestHop is where writers share six paragraphs of a new release or WIP. My #western #spanking #romance has been out a week now and has been in the Top 10 in Erotic Westerns on Amazon for part of that. Here's my 6 paragraphs:
“Come to the supply wagon,” Mr Jordan
ordered as they approached, his voice hard, his face stern and unyielding. “I
told you what was going to happen. You WILL learn to obey my orders. Are you
going to accept your punishment or would you rather I pay you off now?”
Johnny squeezed Jessica’s shoulders. She
was trying to be brave, but he could tell she was afraid. He watched as she
took a deep breath and raised her chin.
“I will accept whatever punishment you
give me.”
“Good.”
Johnny looked around the camp as
darkness encroached. The supply wagon was right on the edge, and the men had
obviously been given orders to remain by the fire, as they were all hunkered
down talking quietly and playing poker. He was relieved. Jessica would have
some modicum of privacy at least, although they weren’t far enough away for her
cries to go unheard. And she would cry – Johnny was sure of that. No matter how
hard she fought it, the razor strop would bring her to sobbing and wailing,
that was certain.
Hanging a lantern on a hook on the back
of the wagon, Mr Jordan leaned inside and took the razor strop down off the
wall. “Take down your britches and bend over the back of the wagon,” he ordered
gruffly.
Her eyes glistened with tears already
but her fingers fumbled with the buttons at her small waist. Johnny’s heart
constricted with pain, watching her. And surprisingly, he was jealous. Jessica
was his girl – his responsibility. He
couldn’t stand back and let another man punish her. He stepped forward.

Congratulations on the top 10 Kelly, that's awesome news:) Wonderful snippet and great tease! I wonder if Johnny will convince Mr Jordan to let him do the honours.

Thanks Roz, I've been pretty excited seeing my book up there in the number 2 spot momentarily!
DeleteOh, she's his girl! He's bound to make me swoony :) Congrats on your success!
ReplyDeleteThanks Casey! I still can't believe how well it's doing, I'm starting to feel like a "real" author now! And Johnny is definitely swoon-worthy :)
DeleteGood for Johnny. If anyone needs to punish Jessica, it should be him. Letting another man punish your girl is just plain wrong. Great excerpt, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn :)
DeleteIt meant he had to go against the boss, though.
Johnny is so sweet here :) Love this Kelly
ReplyDeleteThanks Joelle! I think he's sweet too :)
