Anticipation has caused both
to be naughtier than usual—but their husbands, who are also very strict Papas,
have no hesitation in reminding them what happens when their Little brides test
the rules.
After a very educational
evening visit to Miss Eleanor Summers' school, Louisa’s eyes are opened to what
might be if she continues her bratty ways—and her attitude is quickly adjusted.
Lord Edward Wintercrest has not only taken possession of an intriguing box from
Eleanor to share with his best friend and Lucy’s Papa, Lord Lucas Huntington,
he has also ensured that the long carriage ride to Hunter’s Ridge will offer
his precious little lady comfort and distraction from boredom.
Lucas’ family is excited
about the upcoming visit as they prepare for the holidays and the final ball of
the season. And Lord Stefan Northbridge is not one to sit idly aside when there
is a chance to do a bit of matchmaking. Will Franny be able to trust another
suitor after her narrow escape from the clutches of Lord Drakemore?
Is Ettie ready to put away
her childhood toys as she enters the grown-up world, or is she looking for a
man far more like her brother than Lucas realizes?
Only a few things are
certain: no matter what the future holds for the others at Hunter’s Ridge, both
Lucy and Louisa will continue to be cherished and coddled by their husbands—and
their Papas will always be there to remind them of their vows to submit. With their
unwavering love for these precious women, and unfaltering attention to their backsides
whenever they step out of line, this reunion exceeds both sisters'
expectations.
Once again, Maggie Ryan, the
queen of Victorian ageplay erotica, combines love, friendship, humor, and
delicious scenes of discipline and lust to tell a story that is as heartwarming
as it is sexy.
Watch for its release, May 4th.
Prologue
"Kitten, I have something for
you," Lord Lucas Huntington said, as he pulled her onto his lap and
dropped a kiss onto her forehead.
"What is it, Papa?" Lucy
asked, her eyes meeting his, her heart beating a bit faster as possibilities
ran through her mind. Her husband often gave her gifts; some that she found
wonderful, such as Cleo, the white kitten he'd given her before they married,
or the gift of Delilah, her horse. Thoughts of other gifts had her squirming a
bit on his lap as she wondered if the 'something' would be a new item her Papa
would soon be applying to her bare bum.
Instead of giving her an answer, Lucas
pulled the white envelope from his pocket. He smiled as he placed it in her
hand. "I believe you'll find it to be the news you've been waiting
for," he said and grinned, patting her plump bottom, "a bit
impatiently, I might add."
Lucy felt her face heat. Impatiently was
one way of putting it—naughtiness was another. The lack of news had been what had
caused her to be bent over the arm of her Papa's chair, her skirts buttoned at
her shoulders, her drawers at her ankles as her Papa applied crisp smacks of a
paddle to her bottom to remind her that whining and pouting were not acceptable
ways of behavior. Pushing that thought away, she ran her finger across the
familiar handwriting.
"It's from Louisa," she said,
her smile lighting her face.
"Open it, Kitten."
She did so, and her unbridled squeal of
delight told of her pleasure as she threw her arms around his neck and kissed
his cheek. "They are coming! Louisa and Uncle Edward are going to be here
soon and, Papa, they are going to stay for a whole month!" Though they
often exchanged letters, actually being able to sit and talk, to giggle and
share their stories, would be a wonderful way to begin the holiday season. She
couldn't wait for her twin to meet her sisters and Emmie Northbridge; another
child/bride who had become a dear friend.
"I wish they were already
here," Lucy said, leaning against her Papa's chest. "It's so hard to
wait. They should have left the day Louisa's letter was mailed… then they might
be here already."
He chuckled as he cupped her face
between his palms. "Little one, let's be grateful that your Uncle Edward
has obviously arranged to take the time away from his business endeavors. They
will come for the holidays and, if you are my good little one, I shall invite
Lord Northbridge and Emmie to come and stay for a bit while they are
here." He bent to press his forehead to hers when she appeared about to
protest. "It would be a shame if you spent the next few weeks with a hot
little bottom, Lucille."
Experience had taught her that her Papa
wouldn't hesitate to warm her backside if she continued to pout. Remembering
her Nanny Molly extolling for the hundredth time that patience was a virtue, Lucy
wisely decided to accept the fact that it would be a few more weeks before she
and Louisa could have their reunion. Nodding, she gave Lucas a smile.
"Yes, Papa, I'll be good. I'm just so excited. Seeing Louisa will be the
best present ever."
He
smiled back as he bent to kiss her cheek. "I am glad to see you so happy.
Just remember, Kitten, you are the only present I shall ever need."
