I waited, wondering where this was going.
Finally, she sighed, and said, “Everyone talks about how sexy you are. I was worried that Paisley would see it too and you guys would sleep together. Paisley just found her place in the group and I was worried she wouldn’t understand it was casual or if it didn’t work out between you two, that she wouldn’t feel included anymore. But that wasn’t something I should have been worried about because you two are both smart and caring. You could have handled it without me making it worse.”
It sounded like she’d already talked this out with Onyx. I was grateful for what I was sure was his insight. “Thank you for explaining, Emily. It’s easy to see your heart was in the right place. I’m also glad you realized it’s our business and we don’t need your help in making choices.”
She nodded.
“I forgive you too, Little one.”
She shivered in Onyx’s lap before looking up at him.
“Do you need me to take over?”
She nodded.
Onyx nodded, his expression grim before he turned to me and said, “Emily thinks the best way to show her repentance is to let you punish her. I am fine with that, but we wanted to make sure everyone in the room was too.”

Paisley
Wow. I hadn’t seen that coming.
I looked up at Axel as he thought carefully.
“You want me to spank you?” he asked Emily, his brow crinkled and the corners of his mouth turned into a thoughtful frown.
“Yes, Sir. I was ugly to you and I didn’t respect you even though you asked me to give you some space. My n-naughty behavior was toward you and I think you should be the one to spank me.”
Axel tensed under me and I looked up at him. Neither of us said anything, and Emily continued.
“I could have broken something really special because I was being egotistical. I was so sure I was right that I put my friendship with both of you at risk and I feel so bad for that. Daddy already spanked me for leaving the house without telling him, but I won’t feel forgiven unless you punish me too.”
Axel nodded. He played with my curls as his eyes took a far-away look. After a few minutes, he turned back to Emily. “I appreciate your respect and trust, Little one. Are you sure this is what you need?”
She nodded.
“I need words, Emily.”
“Yes, Sir. This is what I need.”
“Okay, let me talk to Paisley first and I’ll be right back.”
Talk to me? Why did he need to talk to me?
“Yes, Sir.”
“We don’t have to talk about it, Uncle Axel. I agree too,” I said as he lifted me bridal style into his arms.
“I want to talk it over with you, baby,” he said as he carried me into the nursery and sat with me in the rocking chair.
I nodded, but I didn’t understand. Reaching up, I ran my fingers through his beard.“Why are you worried about what I think? I’m just a play partner too.”
Axel caught my hand in his and held it. “Well, I think that after the last two days, we could be more than that. I feel really strongly about you, baby, and I’d like to explore these feelings if you’re open to that.”
I blinked up at him, momentarily stunned. “You… like me?”
“You find that hard to believe?”
