The puppy’s bark was infectious. She lifted him into her arms, rising to her feet, additional tears streaming down her face. “You did this.”
“I don’t see anyone else here, sweetheart.”
She held the puppy tightly against her as she came closer. “I do love you.”
As I pulled them both into my arms, I nipped her earlobe, the joy I felt more than I deserved. “And I love you, my beautiful woman.”
The puppy was having none of it, wiggling in her arms until Willow eased him to the floor. As she looked from the pup back to my eyes, she mouthed the words of love one more time.
I’d never believed I could feel as content as I was, but as I watched them play together, I was grateful that a spunky woman with a saucy mouth and a heart of gold came into my life.
After placing our items in the bedroom, I poured us both a drink, unable to take my eyes off her.
Only after the pup was down for the count, napping on the bed in his cage did she come and join me.
“He’s perfect,” she whispered.
“Just like you.” I handed her a glass, enjoying the quiet time.
“No one’s perfect.”
I took a few sips, allowing her to enjoy the moment before taking her glass and placing both on the counter. Then I grabbed her hand. “It’s time for that spanking.”
“Is there any way I can talk you out of it?”
“Not a chance, sweetheart.”
“I’ll get you back for this.”
“I’m sure you’ll try,” I said as I laughed. “Undress and place pillows on the bed.”
She narrowed her eye as I started to remove my belt. Then she pursed her lips, pouting. As soon as I gave her a stern look, she grumbled under her breath before obeying.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her as she followed my orders, plumping the pillow several times before crawling on the bed and leaning over.
“I think twenty are in order.”
Willow threw a hateful look over my shoulder. “A horribly mean man.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.” After running my fingers down her spine, I backed away, pulling the leather strap under my nose and inhaling. I could get used to this.
When I issued the first strike, she jerked up, undulating her body and kicking her legs.
“Stay in position. Be a good girl.”
“You’re going to learn that I will never be a good girl.”
“Then I can see that daily spankings will be in order, which is fine by me.”
“Oh!”
As I cracked the belt against her rounded bottom, I finally felt the moment of peace I’d longed for. There was only one missing piece and maybe, just maybe, I’d find the courage she’d talked about during her brilliant speech, enough to make contact with my brother.
He was family, an important part of my world.
Only then would it be complete.
