    Chapter One:   Jenna
     
    It was so difficult to sit through dinner, and dessert and
coffee afterwards, when Eric kept giving her those looks.   His dark eyes saw right through her, and
Jenna knew she was tried and found guilty without one single question being
asked.   The sentence would be one
sound spanking… unless she could convince Eric that she had the ‘right’ of it.
    And she did have
the ‘right’ of it!   At least from her point of view.   Her sister Stacy wanted to be loved for
herself, and not because she was a television news reporter.   Men asked her out all the time, but
eventually Stacy would learn that all they were after was a share in her
limelight, or they wanted her help in expanding their
own career.   In short, the men that Stacy
thought loved her were only using her.   Jenna thought that Edmund Cross, a new member of the law firm where Eric
worked, was perfect for her sister.   She couldn’t see any harm in inviting them both to dinner on the same
night and allowing nature to take its course.   Eric, on the other hand, called it
matchmaking, and that was something he was totally against.   In fact, he was so totally against
matchmaking, that he’d promised her a spanking to remember if she attempted it
in any way.
    The dinner went well, and even a blind man could see that Stacy
and Edmund were taken with each other.   When Edmund offered to give Stacy a lift home, she readily accepted, and
they did not linger over their goodbyes.   Jenna headed straight for the kitchen while Eric was shutting and
locking the door after their guests, and she started loading the dishwasher,
just to have something to do to keep her hands busy while she waited for Eric
to start scolding.   He didn’t keep
her waiting.
    “Jenna Hart Davidson, you are going to get that sweet tush of yours set on fire.   There is no way in hell that you can
convince me you didn’t plan to set up Edmund and your sister.”   The look on Eric’s handsome face was
disapproving, and if she had any doubts about it, the hands he had on his hips
and his stance let her know how unhappy he was with her.
    “I didn’t plan to try and convince you of that, darling,”
Jenna softly proclaimed as she put their dinner plates into the
dishwasher.   “But, the important
thing is that they really hit it off and I think they will be just right for
each other.   You know how lonely Stacy
has been, and Edmund is new in town.   And when you told me that his mother hosts a local cooking segment in
the city where he grew up, I knew that he wouldn’t be star struck when he heard
what Stacy does for a living.   He
would see her as a person, and not as someone who could advance his television
career in some way.   They also have
a lot in common, more than I realized when I invited both of them for dinner
tonight.   Don’t you think it was a
good idea?
    “I think that you expressly disobeyed me and ignored my
wishes about matchmaking.   What if
the two of them do get involved, and then have a bad breakup?   We will be stuck smack in the center of
it, and they will both blame us.   Are you prepared for that, Jenna?”
    “Maybe they will be like us and have a happily ever
after…?   All I did was invite two
people to have dinner.   I did not
suggest that Edmund give Stacy a ride home; he came up with that idea all on
his own.   And, I did not insist that
Stacy accept his offer.   She did
that all on her own.   I don’t think
either of them realized I was matchmaking.”
    “We’ll see.”   Eric was not convinced.   “In
the meantime, young lady, you crossed a line with me, and you are going to face
the consequences.   You can stop
fiddling with these dishes and take yourself into our bedroom and get ready for
a sound spanking.”
    “I’m not fiddling around here, Eric; I’m cleaning up the
kitchen, and I can’t go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink!”   The very thought scandalized her!
    “I’ll
