I watched as she took in this information, her little teeth worrying the pink ball of the gag.
“I realize I made some mistakes last week, and I should have been clearer, but all it would have taken was one conversation between us to resolve this. Instead, you ran away and froze me out in some asinine move to try and protect me.”
She attempted to say something then gave me a frustrated look, obviously wanting the gag out.
Leaning forward, I carefully undid the gag, taking it out of her mouth before tossing it on a nearby glass table.
As soon as I turned back around, Nora said, “I’m sorry. I really am, but I’m a mess, Tyler. I screwed this all up. You deserve someone better, someone that isn’t so much work. You’re such an amazing guy, and I like you so much, but you’d be happier with someone else.”
Letting out a tired sigh, I stroked back a strand of her hair behind her ear, the tears glittering in her eyes hitting me in the gut. “You’re a mess, but you’re my mess, and I don’t mind helping you slay your demons, Nora. I know it will take time to get you to where you want to be, but I’m not giving up on you. So, stop trying to talk me out of caring for you, okay? It’s not going to happen.”
Her lower lip trembled as she said, “Okay.”
“We good?”
Her whole body slumped as she let out a deep breath. “We’re good. And I’m so sorry—”
“Enough,” I let the dominance inside of me rise up a little bit, widening my stance as I looked down at her. “Now, it’s time to discuss your punishment.”
Her eyebrows flew up. “My punishment?”
“Do you know the hell I’ve been through these past few days, wondering if I would ever get you to talk to me again? You bet your sweet little ass Daddy is not happy with your actions.” I picked her up and helped her turn so her knees were on the ground and her body laid over the top of the ottoman. “And I happen to know from Shyla that you’ve been working insane hours and not sleeping, so you’re actually ahead with your work. Which means I can turn your ass a nice, deep red without worrying about you not being able to sit comfortable for a few days.”
Her head jerked up, and she looked at me over her shoulder. “I’m sorry! I swear I won’t do it again.”
I snorted. “Little late for that. I might have let it go without a spanking if you’d at least talked to me, but you shut down all communication between us. You ghosted me.”
Her head dropped down with a little thump as she muttered, “I told you, Tyler, I’m messed up. It’s not just an excuse, I really am.”
Sitting on the large ottoman a little bit away from her, I stroked my hand over her shoulder, checking to make sure the position of her bound hands wasn’t hurting her. “And I told you, Nora, that I’m messed up as well. You think all those years I spent dealing with the worst evils man can do to each other didn’t leave a mark on me? That I’m not haunted by my own demons?”
“Tyler,” she tried to scoot closer to me, then frowned and rattled her handcuffs. “Can you take these off, please?”
“No. You’re still going to be punished. Besides, they look sexy as fuck, so no.”
Her bottom gave a little wiggle as she pouted. “But I want to touch you.”
“After you take your spanking, you can touch me as much as you want.” I leaned over and gently picked her up. “How soundproof is Shyla’s house? Do I have to worry about any neighbors calling the cops because a window is open upstairs?”
“Her house is very soundproof,” Nora said as I spread my legs a bit and laid her over my lap.
My erection pressed into her side and belly, and she purposely wiggled a bit, rubbing my aching shaft with her body. It had been eight long days since I’d had her in my hands, and I took a moment to touch her, to run my fingers over the lines of her tank, the sleek curve of her bottom covered in black spandex. I could smell her coconut sunblock as I leaned down and kissed the back of her neck.
“I missed you,” I whispered against her skin. “And I’m very angry at you for keeping us apart, but I want you to know right now, if you say stop—at any point—we stop.”
She sagged in relief on my lap, her stiff shoulders softening beneath my kisses. “So I don’t have to yell sea cucumber?”
I laughed, straightening as I resumed my obsession with her tight little ass, caressing it as I said, “No, you don’t have to safeword. I trust you to take your punishment like a good girl, but I also trust you to tell me when it becomes too much. Give and take, Nora. You hold as much control over the situation as I do.”
