Welcome back!
This Saturday Spankings post is a continuation from my WIP, Running For her Life. Hope you enjoy!
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Meet Claire and Nick:
Claire is a 32 year old athlete, trying to qualify for the Olympic Trials. She has a past full of emotional and physical injuries.
Nick is a 36 year old coach, a hard, authoritative man who pushes his athletes to their limit.
Claire is confused by her attraction to her new coach, feeling that he could never fall for a woman like her. Will she stick around, accept what he has to offer, and finally learn to ask for what she wants, or will she run?
Will Nick learn to trust his instincts and guide Claire towards her goal and a possible future together, or will he shut down emotionally, and lose another woman in his life?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Today’s scene takes place in the training room. Claire and Morgan have taken their animosity and sniping to a new level. After an ugly war of words (and donut throwing) ensues between the two, Nick decides he has had enough. He takes both women to the training room for a little “corrective action”. After Morgan leaves, Claire is left to feel the wrath of her coach / boyfriend.

“Your turn, Jacobs,” he beckoned her with his finger.
She felt like a deer stuck in a car’s headlights. He was giving her THAT look – the one that invigorated and scared her at the same time.
She trudged slowly toward him. “Um, why does she get to be Morgan, and I have to be Jacobs?” she muttered quietly.
“Because I’m more disappointed in you than I am in her, Claire,” he blew out a frustrated breath.
She looked over at the small desk Morgan had just vacated. “Am I writing lines like Morgan?”
“No. I have something else in mind for you.” His gaze never wavered, “Shut the door and lock it, please.”

OMG! That last line! Swoon!
LOL, I feel the same way, Corinne.
I wish hubby would say it to me sometime. 🙂
Thanks!
OH no… just hearing these words… “shut the door and lock it.”
I can imagine the look on her face. And maybe the evil little grin on his. ~smirks~
Thanks, LA.
She is definitely nervous now!
🙂
Ooh, very nice.
Thanks!
In a spanking romance, nothing good ever comes after, “shut the door and lock it.” LOL. She’s in trouble now.
Amen to that, Cara!
😉
What everybody else said about the door. 😀
LOL, thanks! 🙂
Oh no! First the Look and then she had to participate in bringing about her own punishment by ensuring it not be stopped prematurely. Katherine, that was the hottest ending line!
Thanks, Maren!
I was really visualizing that “long” walk being pretty difficult.
🙂
“No. I have something else in mind for you.” His gaze never wavered, “Shut the door and lock it, please.”
*sigh* That is the line of promise and desire, punishment and correction. It makes my heart flutter and sends my imagination reeling. I love it!
Thanks so much, Alice!
That was exactly what I was hoping for!
🙂
Mmm, I want to read what happens next!!
Guess what? Part 2 is next week!
🙂
What a place to cut us off. And she’s the one having to shut and lock the door. Delicious.
Thanks, PK!

Thanks, Renee!
You are probably right!

I even bought donuts this morning, having seen this snippet’s URL 😀 that’s a lovely touch though, he uses her last name because he’s more disappointed in her. shudders at locking the door 😀
Mmmm, I want donuts too. I wish I could find some gluten free dunkin donuts! 🙂
Thanks, Joelle!

Locking the door, one of the first signs of trouble. She’s in for it now. Nice snip Katherine.
Thanks, Maddie!

And lock it? What does he have in mind? Don’t stop there!
LOL, thanks Abbie.

My mind is spinning with guesses about her fate. 😉 Nicely written, Katherine.
I hope one of your guesses is a spanking, Trish 😉
Thanks so much!
