Welcome to WiP iT uP wEdNeSdAy! This is the fun blog hop where you can read an entire scene from a work in progress and then hop back onto the list to read another! This week we return to The Attraction, our latest WIP. It was my pleasure to finally add those two lovely words to the end of the last chapter, and we are currently up to our eyeballs in edits before sending it to the publisher.
In the following scene, our serial killer is lurking on a spanking Internet forum as he goes hunting for his next victim (gulp).
****
“Hi Chuck! I
love the private message feature on this forum.
Sometimes I like to break away from the group.”
“Agreed. Spanking is such a broad topic, and we all
have individual needs. Can I ask what
yours are to see if we’re compatible, Debbie?” He knew the
banter needed to start out light and basic.
“Do
you want to know my age? I’m sensing
you’re much younger than I am.”
“I’m
thirty-two, but was hoping for a mature woman.
In my opinion, the younger women have too many hang-ups.” That line always
seemed to be a crowd pleaser among the older participants.
“So
far, we’re looking like a good match. I
love younger men. Can we get back to the
spanking compatibility subject?”
“I’d
love to. Tell me what you like. Although once the situation is in hand, my
mood tends to dictate the scene.”
“Situation
in hand. You’re very clever. I like that.
Does that mean I don’t get to choose the scene? Do you want to be in charge?”
“Look
who’s being funny now. I love a sense of
humor. Yes, I like to be in charge of a scene,
but don’t mind hearing your preferences before we meet. That way I can make sure there will be some
of your fantasies included, too. So,
what do you like?” He never closed a deal so
quickly. He hoped it didn’t make her
nervous.
“Well,
I like a naughty schoolgirl scene.
Unless you think that’s not contemporary enough. Would that be too old school for you?”
“You’re
a riot. I can’t wait to meet you in
person. What red-blooded American
spanker doesn’t like a naughty school girl scene? I love the idea. Can you dress the part or will I have to use
my imagination?”
“I’ve never done this before, it’s only been a fantasy of mine since I
started reading spanking fiction. But
I’m sure I can get my hands on a short plaid skirt and tights. How does that sound?”
“I
can’t wait to take you over my knee and raise that skirt. Of course, the tights and panties will have
to come down. Unless you’re not planning
to wear panties. Wait. Did you say you’ve never done this before? Is this your first time on a spanking
forum?” He
just adored new blood on these chats.
“I
hate to admit it, but yes. I hope that
doesn’t discourage you.”
Has a man ever been discouraged by a
woman’s virginity? His laugh was
sinister. “No, I don’t mind at all. By the way, how do you feel about a cane?”
“From
what I’ve read, caning might be a little over the top for me. Honestly, a bare bottom spanking with a hand is more
my speed. Is that okay with you?”
“Sure,
I aim to please. Sorry, I crack myself
up sometimes.” He
couldn’t have appeared more amusing or charming. “I’d really love to meet you in person, Debbie.”
“The
feeling is mutual.”
“I
noticed that your location is listed as NYC. Do you think we could get together?”
“I
live in Manhattan.”
“Oh
my God, so do I! But I hate hotels. They’re so sterile and unfriendly. Would it be okay if I came to your apartment? It would be so much more personal that way.”
“Would
you mind if we met for coffee first?
With all the terrible things going on in the news, I’d feel better if we
got to know each other before I brought you into my home.”
“Sure. Why don’t you give me your number, and I’ll be
in touch to make definite plans.”
Waiting for Debbie to type her phone number, he
decided “Chuck” would have to be more clever than usual in order to bypass the
coffee meeting. He didn’t mind the extra
effort. It would only make the kill a
little sweeter.

Thanks for stopping by, it sure was nice to see you here! But before you go, please remember to hop over to some of the other authors on this list. You know there's always some hotter than hell reading just waiting for you! Have a great week ~ shelly
Omg! This guy is giving me the serious creeps! I hope that Debbie protects herself!
ReplyDeleteI know - you'd think with this serial killer on the loose, women would be more careful! Just so you know, Doug and I tried to warn her ;)
DeleteLove it! love, love, LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteAn internet stalker/killer.... OMG I just can't wait. I loved 'Safe in His Hands' and now I'm looking forward to more of your suspenseful, page gripping thrillers.
WTG ☺
Thanks, Mel! And thanks for your wonderful review on Goodreads! You can't know how much I appreciate your efforts and LOVE that you're enjoying our thrillers. :)
DeleteSTALKER MATERIAL! No don't meet him at your apartment. Arrgh. Love the 'I crack myself up' line, though and I love your sense of humour. This piece was brilliant from start to finish and I had a good giggle. Now I just need to finish my edits and get some reading time in hand - because I'd love to get stuck into this and FIND OUT WHO THE DAMN WEIRDO IS. Seriously, I need to know. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina! I'm always so happy to hear you enjoyed! I haven't been able to read much either - we just started edits on this one, and hopefully we'll be done this weekend. I really want to ship this to the publisher on Monday. :)
DeleteOooh I love a good suspense novel. This sounds right up my alley! Great scene!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kelly! This was our first attempt writing a story that included a serial killer, and we had a blast :)
