And?
Oh, right.
“I said that you wanted to be with me because you wouldn’t love me as much as your dad did your mom.”
“That’s right. I want you to know how much you’re loved,” he told her.
“And spanking me will tell me that?” she asked skeptically.
“Uh-huh. Every time you go to sit for the rest of the day, you’ll remember how much I love you.”
Dear Lord.
Before she could say anything to that, he lifted her and placed her on his lap. She let out a gasp of shock and then he was rubbing her bottom.
“What do you say if it gets to be too much?”
Say? Oh. Safeword.
“Red.”
“Good girl. Remember that. If it’s too much, say red. Otherwise Papa is going to spank you until he decides you’ve had enough.”
Sheesh. Seriously? Had enough? After what? Five? Six?
Then his hand landed. Ouch!
“That hurt!” she cried.
“Good. It’s meant to.”
What kind of sadist was he? His hand landed over and over. And it was definitely more than five or six. In fact, she lost track as he smacked her bottom until it was hot and throbbing.
Tears tracked down her cheeks, sobs escaping her lips as she lay limply over his lap.
Then he turned her so she straddled his thighs. She pressed her face to his chest, crying.
Matthieu rubbed her back and spoke to her quietly in French until she had herself under control.
“Are you all right, Bébé?” he asked her.
All right? No, she wasn’t all right. Her bottom was on fire.
“I’m guessing that you love me a heck of a lot,” she grumbled. “Because I’m pretty sure I’m not going to sit for a week.”
He let out a low laugh. “I do, Bébé. I love you more than I can even express.” Pulling her back away from his chest, he grasped hold of her chin and kissed her.
Light at first, then deeper.
When he drew back, her mind was mush. She couldn’t think of anything except wanting more of those delicious kisses.
“Now, I was going to spend some time in here with you,” he said. “But I don’t think we can.”
“Why not?” she asked, frowning slightly. She wanted to spend more time in Little headspace.
“Because it doesn’t feel right to spend any more time away from your babies. They need you. More than I do.”
If she hadn’t already been completely and utterly in love with him, she would have fallen for him then.
