“R-reward?” I stuttered. I thought if I was being punished for something bad, a reward wasn’t a possibility. Was she saying there was?
Kip hummed and nuzzled the curve of my neck. “Yes,chibi. A reward. Let her make you feel good.”
I eagerly nodded, and she laughed softly before lowering her lips to my cock. The moment her mouth wrapped around me, I was a fucking goner. I’d been leaking and damn near about to burst the entire time Kip had punished me, and her warm, wet mouth sent me right over the edge like a pubescent teen with no stamina.
My body slumped, and Kip tightened his arms around me.
“I think someone is ready for dinner and a movie now, don’t you?” he asked Michelle, who rose from the floor and licked her lips.
“I agree.” She gripped my chin and leaned in to kiss me. I moaned beneath her lips, the taste of myself on her tongue strong. “I’ll give you the rest of your punishment in the morning, bub. Let Kip take care of you while I get dinner re-heated.”
And then, she was gone, Mercy trotting after her.
Kip lifted me like I weighed nothing and gently deposited me on the bed. “Roll onto your belly,chibi. I need to apply lotion to your backside, and then, we’ll cuddle until Mommy comes back with food, okay?”
“’Kay, Daddy,” I slurred, ready to go back to sleep. Mommy and Daddy had been so right about punishments. They made me feel safe and fuzzy, and I felt free from the burdens that’d been weighing on my shoulders formonths.
I never wanted to leave this headspace.
Chapter Twenty-One
Kip
It didn’t take long for our boy to pass out between us. He’d remained in his submissive headspace through dinner, seeming freer than Michelle and I had ever had the privilege of seeing him. He’d fallen asleep with his head in Michelle’s lap, her fingers running through his hair, and I’d been wound around him, giving him the security I knew he needed.
He’d taken his punishmentso wellfor it being his first time experiencing it. He’d beenperfect. So fuckingperfect. And I couldn’t wait to see him take Michelle’s punishment for his outbursts in the living room while Hudson and Kreed had been here before we took him apart.
“How much longer should we let him sleep?” Michelle whispered. She’d woken not long after I did, both of our bodies on automatic clocks to wake around daybreak since we’d been doing it for years. But our boydefinitelyneeded some rest after everything he’d been going through and forcing himself to endure alone.
“Until he’s ready to be up,” I answered. “He needs rest. Hedeservesrest, and we can give that to him.” Didn’t help that I wanted to gift him the entire fucking world and couldn’t do that, but I could give him this, at the very least. It would have to be enough for me.
She nodded, her fingers moving to his hair like she couldn’t help but touch him. I understood the feeling. I wanted to remain glued to his side. Cut myself open and place him beneath my skin, if possible. Just so I never had to part with him. But just as I had to with my wife, I settled for this. Being his home. His safety. His comfort.
“I’m so glad we found him, baby,” Michelle whispered. “He’s the reason nothing ever worked with anyone else in the past. He wasmeantto beours. Meant to belong to us and be our boy.”
“I know,tsuma,” I said gently. “I know it, too. Ifeelit.” Reaching over him, I cupped her cheek. She shut her eyes, pressing more into my touch. I stroked my thumb over her bottom lip. Fuck, she was so goddamn pretty. Just as perfect for me as he was for us. “And I think he realizes it, too.”
I lowered my arm to wrap it back around our boy.
“Do you think he feels like this is moving too fast? I don’t want to frighten him away, Kip.”
“It’s not,” our sleepy boy suddenly rasped, his voice still thick with sleep.
“Good morning,chibi,” I greeted, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck. “Sleep well?”
He nodded. “Yes, Daddy.” Groaning, he rolled onto his back and gave a big stretch, his joints popping before he settled back between us. “I need to brush my teeth.”
I hummed and nuzzled his cheek. “Take your time. We’ll be in the kitchen when you’re done. Come find us.”
He nodded then sat up. I got out of bed first, and I watched as he slid off the mattress, his face twinging for a moment before heshifted a little, fighting a smile as if helikedthat his ass was still smarting from his punishment the night before. Michelle and I both watched him until he disappeared into the bathroom, his bare bottom still a little pink from my spanking.
It was truly a beautiful sight to behold.
Michelle stretched and yawned before getting out of bed, as well. I cupped her cheek and leaned down, kissing her soft and slow. She curved her body into mine, her hands coming up to rest on my ribcage. When we parted, I took a moment to admire her beautiful face and her kiss-swollen lips before I stepped back, forcing us to part, no matter how much I didn’t want to.
“That’ll hold,” I rasped then turned on my heel and headed for the kitchen, so I could begin making breakfast for Michelle and Corvus.
Michelle joined me in the kitchen a couple of minutes later, wearing a pair of tight pink shorts and a black crop top, her hair tossed into a messy bun on the top of her head. I ran my eyes over her, drinking her in, and just as I opened my mouth to tell her she looked good enough to eat, our boy waltzed into the room wearing a pair of my basketball shorts and one of my T-shirts. The clothes were too big for him, butfuck, I loved how he looked in them.
