“Again, I am so sorry,” she said.
“I know it wasn’t deliberate; no need to beat yourself up over it. Let it go, Penny.”
She nodded, biting her inner cheek to stop a sob escaping at the chill between them. Usually he would have had his arms wrapped about her by now. She had no idea what to say or do to put things right.
“Shall we eat?” she asked instead. He nodded and collected the cutlery. Dabbing her eyes while his back was turned, she then served up and brought the plates to the table. They ate in silence. Once they finished, he cleared the dishes. Penny wandered despondently into the living room where she switched on the television, aimlessly channel hopping.
“Turn off the TV—we need to discuss where we go from here,” David said, entering the room. She did as he asked, disappointed that he sat opposite, and not next to her.
“I know that you were initially worried about the age-play dynamic but I thought that you were enjoying it?” he began.
“Yes, you’re right, I have really enjoyed it, but a couple of things have happened that make me wonder if it’s a bad thing for me to be in little mode so often. Look at what happened today...” David made to speak but she held up her palm. “Just let me finish,” she said; he nodded. “I need to take more responsibility and behave as an adult. It is all too easy for me to descend into a world where I abdicate my adulthood and let things slide. It’s not good for my growth as a person and I don’t think it’s fair on you.” She sat back and waited for his response.
Leaning forward, he placed his elbows on his spread knees and steepled his arms. His chin rested on his laced fists. “Hmm-mm,” he sighed thoughtfully.
She waited patiently while he cogitated, then, just as she was about to break the silence he began.
“Are you happy to live a domestic discipline marriage with me, without the age-play?” he asked.
“Yes,” she answered immediately.
“I suggest that from now, until we get back from our break, we take age-play off the table and revisit this conversation on our return home, what’d you say?”
“Um, yes, I guess.”
“You don’t sound particularly certain?”
“No, you’re right; it seems like a good compromise, although I have one request?”
He frowned. “What’s that?”
She hesitated, her teeth caught her bottom lip; he still seemed annoyed.
“Penny?”
“That I still get to call you Daddy,” she said in a rush.
His face split into a grin. David patted his thigh. “Come to Daddy,” he said with a wink. She was across the room in an instant.
Wrapped in his arms, she breathed in his scent and relaxed; she felt safe. They sat and cuddled for a long moment, then he shifted. “So are you ready to accept your spanking now?”
What?
“I-I thought we agreed I-I wasn’t getting one?” she stammered.
“You safe-worded so I stopped, but now we have talked and reached a compromise you still deserve a spanking and since you just agreed to a D/s relationship, as head of our household I’ve decided you’re getting one.”
“But...” This she had not anticipated.
“Nope, no buts, except the one I’m going to spank. Upstairs in...” he looked at his watch, “five minutes!”
She squirmed off his lap and hurried across the room. If he was going to spank her, she might as well show him how she felt about it. Doing an about face, she stuck out her tongue.
“Being sassy earned you extra spanks, go!” he growled, quickly rising to his feet.
Squealing, she dashed for the stairs.
