And I had plans that would wear him outbefore it was time to sleep, anyway.

That pulled his focus back to me, but hefrowned. “I’ve never gotten a shower here by myself.”

He was beyond cute.

Sitting down beside him, I pulled him ontomy lap. “Come here. You’re not awake yet.”

Landon sighed, probably agreeing with me,but instead of talking, he just relaxed. Stroking his head, I cuddled himclose, pulling the blanket back over him. When it seemed like he was almostasleep again, I kissed his head.

“You said you had a dream?” If he went backto sleep now, he’d probably be up at three in the morning, ready to go for theday.

Landon nodded his head and yawned. “Yes.”

“What was it about?” It took him a momentto answer, and the silence said a lot.

“We were in bed and fooling around and youhad me pinned down.” He shifted, and I had a feeling that his cage was gettingsnug again. “Then I asked you to make love to me…I begged you to fuck me andyou said no.”

Oh, that wasn’t good.

“I woke up right as you were telling me Iwasn’t ready, but you were naked and then the cage got tight.” He snuggled hisface into my neck and sighed again. “Just give me a minute and I’ll get up.”

“We’re in no rush.” Especially when he wasstill feeling off. “We’re going to stay right here where I can cuddle you andtouch you all I want.”

Landon gave a quiet laugh but wrapped onearm around me and did his best to snuggle closer. “Because I’m yours.”

“That’s right. You’re all mine.” Holdinghim tight, I stroked his side and down his legs before going back up his body.“Every sexy, tired inch of you.”

“I’m not that tired.” But the way he wascurled against me said otherwise.

“Hmm, my Dom powers are saying that is notquite the truth.” I smiled as he giggled, but his shrug said he knew he hadn’tbeen telling the truth. “That means a punishment unless I get the truth fromyou.”

That threat pulled a smile from him and herelaxed a little more. “I had a few late nights. A bit of overtime and mymother needed some help and then homework. You know.”

He pulled back enough to look into my eyes.“I’m fine. This is still the most free time I’ve ever had.”

That right there said more than he seemedto realize.

“I know. But you’re…you’re tired, baby.” Itdidn’t seem to be a physical exhaustion either.

We were going to have to talk about some ofthe things on his plate, though. I wasn’t willing to walk away, but there hadto be something I could do, even if it meant paying for a handyman for his mother.

“Just a little, but you make that better.”I couldn’t decide if he understood it didn’t seem to be simply the regular kindof tired.

“Tell me about the overtime. Is thatsomething that happens a lot?” We were going to look at this whole situationone piece at a time. We might not have technically been seeing each other forvery long, but a few weeks should be enough time for me to butt in withoutseeming to be too controlling.

Landon shrugged, but there was a faint nodas well. “Yeah, but it’s good pay, and having a cushion is important.”

“I’m going to remind you that you can useyour safeword to stop any conversation too, and then I’m going to ask if youneed to build up your cushion. Do you have enough in the bank that you’re notworried? Are you trying to save up for your sisters?” I stopped asking as hesmiled and snuggled closer again.

“You’re cute.”

Not the response I’d been looking for, so Ikissed his head, trying not to smile. “And you’re looking to get punished.”

He nearly giggled. “Possibly.”

Yep, another stress relief of some kind waswhat the Dom ordered.

“You still haven’t answered my questions.No punishments until I’m satisfied I know all the reasons I’m going to spankyou.” My logic was questionable, but he didn’t call me on my bullshit.
