Reagan’s struggle to be fully Little around him had gotten her spanked twice early on in his employment with us.
“This is so unlike her.” I ran a hand through my hair.
“This isn’t the worst part. She got super anxious today during her bottle. I gave her the medication she needed and then while we were rocking, I tried to get her to talk to me about her anxiety. She safeworded, Travis.”
“She safeworded?” I almost shouted. In the six years we had been married, my Little girl had only used her safeword once.
“She calmed quickly, but I was shocked and honestly, we don’t have a plan for when she safewords about her anxiety. We can’t allow that, right?”
“No, absolutely not. Okay, I’ve had enough. I know Dr. Morgan wanted us to let her process this on her own, but she’s suffering. We have to get her to talk. Let’s sit her down after the sticker party, all right? I don’t want to wait that long, but she’s going to need a lot of reassurance after you spank her and probably a nap. I don’t want to overwhelm her before the party.”
That was only part of the reason. Ididwant to give Reagan time to rest before the party, but something was also going on with Maddox. He’d been nervous and withdrawn lately. Tonight, we’d have time with just the two of us, and I wanted to try and encourage him to confess what was bothering him as well. I had a feeling all these big feelings were related.
“Did she tell you she wanted to go? I couldn’t get her to answer me.”
“No, she hasn’t said yes, but I called Pike, and he said Dallas and Emily were going. I know she’ll want to go if Emily is going to be there too.”
Maddox cracked a small smile. “I swear Pike has Dallas chipped.”
I laughed. Pike owned The Dragon. He was also Dallas’ older brother—well stepbrother—and he was the most overprotective man I had ever met. I was surprised he even let Dallas inside The Dragon. “He probably has a tracker in her shoes or something.”
“All right, so we’re in agreement. We’re going to sit her down and talk to her tonight?” I asked after a moment of silence. “This has gotten out of hand. I don’t want her regressing after so much progress.”
Maddox nodded. “I’ve had her in timeout for almost twenty minutes hoping you would come home before I had to spank her. She’s clearly not feeling like herself.”
“You’re still going to spank her. You know how sensitive she is. If you don’t follow through, she’ll feel even worse.” I was worried about my Baby girl and my best friend. What was going on with them?
“Fuck, I really don’t want too,” he grumbled. “I threatened her with my belt thinking that would correct her behavior quickly and it backfired on me.”
“Rookie mistake. You never threaten something you’re not willing to follow through on. She didn’t give any indication of what might be upsetting her? I’m worried something happened at the club,” I finally admitted, rubbing the back of my neck. “I mean more than the incident with that little brat.”
Maddox nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. We try and keep the creeps out of the bar, but what if someone got to her? Maybe they tried something with her?”
“We’ll find out tonight.”
“We could just skip the party and get her to tell us now.”
I ignored him. I needed some time to think.
Maddox hesitated and rocked on his heels. “Well, let me know what you decide to wear to the sticker party tonight,” he said as he slowly backed away.
“Nope. Nice try, though,” I said, shaking my head. “Go get your belt.”
“Travis…”
“Maddox, we’ve never gone back on our values about discipline. You dealt the punishment and you have to administer it.”
“I don’t want to upset her. She was already emotional about me seeing her naked. And I really don’t want to spank her with my belt.”
“If you don’t go get your belt, I’m going to spankyou! She didn’t safeword about the punishment. Go. You know the importance of following through.” I was so thankful he had joined our family, even in moments when I wanted to strangle him, like right now.
Maddox sighed but headed for his room to grab the dreaded belt. I swore, if everyone would just listen to me, life would be so much smoother.
I walked back into the office and sat down.
“Come here, baby,” I called as I held my hand out.
She turned and ran to me before launching herself into my lap. She clung to me and buried her wet face against my neck. I stroked her back softly and kissed the top of her head.
