Bryant’s only answer was to lean down and brush his lips across her cheek. “See you in a bit, brat.”
Slipping an arm around her waist, James guided her to his SUV. Unsatisfied with Bryant’s non-answer, she looked up at her husband. “James, what are you up to?”
“You’ll see.” Opening the passenger side door, he nudged her inside.
“That’s not an answer, James!” Anger began to override her curiosity. “Tell me what’s going on, right now.”
“No.” The refusal was delivered in a perfectly calm, even voice, but she heard the authority ringing in that single syllable. “You do not make the demands, little girl. I do. You’ve just earned yourself a loss of speaking privileges until we get home.”
“That’s not fair!”
“And that’s three. Want to try for more?” He cocked an eyebrow, practically daring her to speak again.
It had been so long since he’d used this particular punishment, she’d nearly forgotten how it worked. But it came rushing back to her then. One with the paddle for every word she spoke while under restriction. And she would have to take each stroke in perfect silence, or it didn’t count. Unwilling to risk any further strokes, she silently shook her head.
“Good girl. I think you’ll enjoy what Daddy has in mind when we get home.” With a wink, he shut the car door. Biting back the dozens of questions dancing in her mind, she folded her hands in her lap and faced forward.
James joined her in the car and they rode the first five minutes to the house in complete silence before he spoke. “You’re being such a good girl, Livvy. Would you like to know what Daddy and Bryant are planning tonight? Nod if you do.”
Nodding, she shifted to face him.
“You’re so stressed, little one.” Glancing over at her, he lifted a hand to stroke her cheek. “And it’s been a while since we all played together. I thought you could use a night of distraction. Sound good so far?”
Squeezing her thighs together in an attempt to relieve the sudden ache between them, she nodded again.
“That’s my good girl.” James grinned and gave her hair a playful little tug. “When we get home, I want you to go upstairs and wait for us in your room. I want you on your knees in the corner, naked.”
Her lower lip pushed out into a pout, but he just laughed. “You can pout all you want, little one. It will just give Bryant a reason to spank you, and you know how much he enjoys turning your bottom red.”
Because it was true, and Bryant spanked a hell of a lot harder than her daddy even when he was playing, she immediately stopped pouting.
Bryant’s car was already in the driveway when they turned in. James stopped the car and leaned over to release her seatbelt. “You can speak again, little one. But you still have those three coming for so blatantly ignoring me earlier.”
“Yes, sir. I’m sorry.”
“I know you are, little one. Go on, we’ll give you a few minutes to get settled before we join you.”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Such a good girl,” he murmured, stroking her cheek again. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.” The passenger door opened, revealing a grinning Bryant.
“Ready for some fun, brat?”
Sticking her tongue out at him, she hopped out of the car. “Only if you’re nice.”
“Please.” Bryant fisted a hand in her hair, yanking her head back as he pulled her into him. “You love it when I’m mean.”
“Do not.”
“Keep lying to me, brat. It’ll just give me a reason to be even meaner.”
Releasing his grip on her hair, he turned her toward the house and sent her off with a stinging smack to her bottom. Turning back, she gave him one last poke of her tongue before walking to the house. Even though she was dying to see what they had planned for her, she forced herself to walk and not run. No sense in giving them an even more inflated ego over the way they affected her.
In her bedroom, she stripped and dropped her clothes in the spare hamper. Naked, she moved to the bathroom where she took a moment to pull her hair up in the ponytail her daddy favored. With nothing left to do to stall, she returned to the bedroom and knelt in the corner, with her arms folded behind her back.
Much sooner than she’d expected, she heard the bedroom door open behind her.
