“Last one, Pet. One more and this is all behind us.”
The last slap echoed through the room or maybe only along Will’s spine. “Twenty, Master.” Will hurriedly rushed out the words, not wanting Lindi to decide to repeat the spank because he didn’t speak quickly enough.
Wrung out emotionally and physically, Will continued to lie across Lindi’s lap until his master helped him to his feet. Lindi quickly stood and wrapped an arm around Will’s waist to hold him steady.
“Come on, love. Let’s get you to bed and put some cream on your skin.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“Poor pet, you’ve had a hard time of it. The punishment is over. Let’s go for pleasure tomorrow.”
“I could do something for you tonight if you’d like,” Will offered. His erection had deflated after the second spank, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t do something for his master.
“I don’t need anything except you beside me. We can get back to our usual schedule tomorrow. I just want our bed with you in it. Last night wasn’t a good night for me.”
Will nodded. He’d had a bad night without Lindi beside him. The problem with sleeping with someone for years was Will had a hard time sleeping in a strange room without a familiar body beside him. Lindi was the perfect sleeping companion. While other subs sometimes complained about their masters snoring or hogging the covers, Lindi never did either. Instead, Lindi wrapped himself around Will and kept him safe from bad dreams.
Once Lindi applied the cream to Will’s ass to soothe the redness, they climbed into bed. “I missed you, Pet. Never get abducted again.”
“I’ll try not to.” Will snuggled into Lindi’s arms. It was better to sleep on his side since his ass burned like the fires of hell.
Lindi woke to the beautiful sight of Will sucking him down. Unable to fight the urge, Lindi bucked deeper into Will’s throat. He knew his boy could take him. After all this time, he knew how far he could go before Will began to choke.
He threaded his fingers through Will’s hair. “That’s it, Babe. Swallow me down.”
One night alone and Lindi knew he would never survive if Will decided to leave him. Will slid his hands along Lindi’s hips, tracing Lindi’s skin with his long fingers. Unable to resist the allure of his lover, Lindi came.
Will lifted his mouth off of Lindi’s softening erection, licking his lips. “Delicious.”
He grabbed Will’s arm and pulled him up. “Come up here.” Lindi positioned Will until he was back in his usual snuggling spot, Will’s head against Lindi’s shoulder, his arm across Lindi’s waist. He purposely ignored Will’s cock prodding his thigh.
“Is there going to be any problems with your case?” Will asked.
“No, Harkinson is going to trial next week. They have enough evidence to put him away.”
“If not, Da will take care of him,” Will said confidently.
Lindi traced the knobby bumps of Will’s spine. “Why didn’t you tell me about your family, Pet?”
Will tensed but didn’t pull away. “I was scared.”
“Of what? Of me?” Lindi tilted Will’s head up to check his lover’s expression.
“I was afraid you’d think I was too much trouble if you knew the truth. I couldn’t chance it.” Will’s voice trembled as he blurted out his ridiculous theory.
“Nothing will ever make me think you are too much trouble. You are everything to me.” Whether he would’ve had the same opinion when they first met, Lindi didn’t know, but now he knew he’d do anything to keep his submissive. “I am keeping you, and I’ll fight your father for you if I have to.”
Will’s body shook with laughter. “No one battles Da and wins.”
“You did.” Will always underestimated his inner strength.
“No. I ran. I didn’t stay and fight. I love my family; I just don’t want to be in the family business.”
“You already have a job,” Lindi reminded him. “Taking care of me is a full-time position.” He continued to rub Will’s back.
“I like taking care of you.”
“If you want another job, something outside the house, you let me know.” Lindi might not like Will going anywhere without him, but he wouldn’t smother his lover. If Will wished to branch out on his own, he’d let him. He knew friends who’d lost their subs because they refused to bend. Lindi wouldn’t allow that happen with them.
“Maybe some day. Right now, I enjoy taking care of you.” Will nestled closer.
“You let me know if that ever changes. I’m not your prison warden; I’m your lover.” Lindi wanted Will to have whatever he needed out of life. That’s what people did for the ones they loved.
