I present to you my cover!
Blurb:
Savi wanted to be everything she wasn’t. Tired
of being the perfect preacher's daughter, she wants to step out of her
father’s shadow.
Deciding to go against everything she has
been taught and wanting her first summer back from college to be a wild one,
she begins to party and she sets her sights on the local lifeguard Eric.
Eric has always had a place in Savi’s
heart, secretly she has always wanted to be with him.
After finding out that Eric attends her father’s church and
realizing what her father’s church really practices, Savi goes on a downward
spiral. Can love conquer her fears?
Excerpt:
He grabbed her neck and pulled her in closer, she was sweet like honey. He could feel the passion behind her lips, and with a smile, he pulled away and rested his forehead on hers. He was breathless and full of regret when he spoke. “Savannah, we can’t be doing this.”
Savi grabbed his hand and pulled him to the couch. “I know, but there is something we can do. Well, rather, you can do.” She looked at him, gazing into his eyes meaningfully.
He could tell she was trying to tell him something, and he knew he should be getting it, but he just wasn’t. He looked at her blankly. “And what’s that?”
“You can spank me,” she said matter-of-factly.
“No, Savannah, we can’t. I can’t.”
“Yes, you can. I want you to. I have done some pretty bad things. I need this, we need this.”
He couldn’t believe what she was asking him to do. Isn’t this what got them into this situation to begin with?
“Eric, you told me that you needed this in your life, that it was your calling. Well, I need you in my life. You are my destiny; I can do this. I can do this for you.”
“I need a moment,” he told her as he walked away. His heart raced as he attempted to gather his thoughts.
Could he actually go through with this? They were already in a rocky place. Would this end them forever? He knew that domestic discipline was his calling, but was it hers? The first time had been a disaster, and Eric just didn’t know if he could do it again. Not only was she hurt the first time, he was too. She seemed sure this time, like she knew what she wanted, but could this actually work? He had to give it another chance; he had to give her another chance.
He walked back into the room and sat on the couch next to Savi. “Are you sure this is what you want?”
“If this is what I need to be with you, then a thousand times yes!”
Eric asked her to stand in front of him. He watched her face for signals that this wasn’t right, but she obeyed quickly and eagerly.
“Do you know why you are being punished?” Eric asked her.
Savi gave a slight nod.
“Are you sorry for your actions?”
“Yes.”
“Savi, please don’t speak.” He held up his hand, scared that if she did too much talking he wouldn’t be able to go through with it. “A nod will do for now.”
Slowly she nodded her head yes.
“I would like you bent over my knees. You know the position.”

ReplyDeleteThanks, it can be sweet, but there is some spicy too :)
DeleteI think it's so sweet when a girl knows what she wants/needs and isn't afraid to ask for it. I really liked the part about him being her destiny too.
