His hand smacked down on her ass and she let out a small cry.
“What’s going on? What happened?” Slade asked.
Thank God the bedrooms were all soundproofed or she’d have probably woken up Hope with her cries.
“What’s going on?” Quaid asked.
Urgh. They were all here to watch her get her bottom reddened.
Awesome.
Rock had turned his bedroom into a nursery for Hope and the guys all slept in with her every night.
Rock continued to spank her until she stopped trying to fight her way free. She lay over his lap, sobbing quietly.
She got it. She might have gotten hurt.
The tension and fight left her as she realized how much she’d likely scared him. Even if she hadn’t meant to.
He lifted her so she was sitting on his lap, facing him. Then he cupped her face between his hands.
“I’m s-sorry,” she sobbed.
Rock nodded in satisfaction and drew her close, holding her against his chest as she cried.
“Indie a bad girl,” she muttered, putting her thumb into her mouth to suck on it for comfort.
“No, Indie just didn’t think first,” Spencer said, coming to sit next to him and rubbing her back. That was nice. “Also, Dada should have put his hoverboard away. I’m sorry for that.”
“Not your fault, Dada,” she said after pulling her thumb from her mouth. “My fault.” She leaned back to look up at Rock. “Sorry, Da.”
You are forgiven. I just don’t want anything to happen to you.
“I know.” She sniffled. “I just wanted to try, but I should have waited. I thought my ninja skills would help me.”
“I’m happy to help you anytime you want, Princess,” Spencer told her. “But it was naughty of you to get on the hoverboard alone.”
Love you.
Love you too. She signed back to Rock.
“Give her to me?” Spencer asked and Rock nodded.
Spencer lifted her against his chest, giving her a stern look. “You’re going to have some corner time as well.”
She sniffled. “Okay, Dada.”
He hugged her against him, rocking her back and forth as she tried to bring her breathing under control.
“Littles get into trouble,” he told her. “It’s just what happens. Then they’re punished and forgiven, okay?”
“Okay, Dada,” she replied as she leaned back to look up at him with a smile. He kissed her gently before handing her off to Quaid.
Oh no.
Quaid had his strict face on. “Do we need to have a chat about the rules again?”
“Nooo!” she cried. For some reason, Quaid loved to go over the rules with her whenever she’d been naughty.
Over and over.
And he liked to add to them. He was the rule-Dom. Or Dom-rule. She wasn’t sure. But they didn’t need another discussion about them.
“Hmm, you think not?” He patted her bottom. “Or maybe I should get you to write them all out?”
That was another punishment he was fond of.
“I’ve gotten a spanking and I have corner time. I think that’s enough.”
“Hmm, actually, I have another sort of punishment in mind,” he said.
She didn’t like the sound of that.
“So have I.” Slade smiled.
Oh, great.
“You know how precious you are to us and that we just want to keep you safe, don’t you?” Quaid asked her.
“I know. I know you do. I’m sorry I’m so naughty all the time.”
Slade came up and took her from Quaid, sitting with her on his lap. “I think it’s a good thing.”
“You do?” She gaped at him as he rubbed her lower back. Ooh, that was nice.
“It means you feel safe with us. That your Little feels safe with us. You might go a bit too far at times and put yourself at risk, which isn’t acceptable. But I’ve never seen you this relaxed and carefree. You smile all the time. And if we have to watch you a bit more closely and punish you a bit more often, then that’s what we’ll do in order to keep that smile.”
Darn.
Why did he have to go being so sweet?
“You guys are the best. I love you all so much.” She buried her face into Slade’s chest as they all surrounded her, touching her, speaking to her softly, reassuringly.
She heard Hope cry and glanced around.
“I’ll get her,” Quaid said.
“I’ll order some lunch in,” Slade said.
I have to do some work. Rock signed. Movie time later?
She nodded at him. She’d like that. All of them snuggling on the couch.
“Right,” Spencer said, rubbing his hands together. “Corner time.”
Drat.
Spencer picked her up and carried her into her playroom, setting her down in front of the corner.
“I think I was punished enough, Dada,” she said. “I won’t sit for ages!”
Once she and Hope were back home and settled, they’d started dishing out all the punishments from her notebook. She’d been spanked in every room in the penthouse.
Not to mention she’d had to wear plugs while writing lines and standing in the corner . . . and why was he going into the punishment cupboard?
