Sword Belt Spanking
This is why it never pays to piss off a good man who wears a sword belt:
He sighed and stood up, slapping the belt lightly against his thigh.
“Well, then,” he said. “Best get on wi’ it. You’ve done considerable damage by crossing my orders, and I’m going to punish you for it, Claire. Ye’ll recall what I told ye when I left ye this morning?” I recalled all right, and I hastily flung myself across the bed so my back was pressed to the wall.
“What do you mean?”
“Ye know quite well what I mean,” he said firmly. “Kneel down by the bed and lift your skirts, lass.”
…”I will not allow you to beat me,” I said firmly, keeping a tight hold of the bedpost.”
“Oh, ye won’t?” He raised a sandy brow. “Well, I’ll tell ye, lass, I doubt you’ve much to say about it…”
“I’ll scream!”
“Likely. If not before, certainly during. I expect they’ll hear ye at the next farm; you’ve got a good set of lungs.” He grinned odiously and came across the bed after me.

My favorite scene in this entire book! My copy opens to this page; makes me seriously wonder about my mom though, it’s her absolute favorite book of all time and this isn’t the only spanking reference – the series is loaded with them.
I reiterate the previous comment – I need say no more because it all applies to me – well except my mum has never read it! There’s even more to that scene actually, when I first read it I thought she’d cut it just as it was about to get interesting, then I read the next page, set the next morning where it flashes back to the whole thing and then is followed by references to other men in the travelling group finding amusement in Claires sore bottom and finding reasons to ‘pat’ it. She also then has to ride a horse for a good while (obviously she has to keep getting off!) – Can you tell I love this book/series??
