“I understand that you’re worried about him, little one, and we’re trying to protect him, too. Seraphus isn’t stupid; once he finds him, he’ll know he’s found you. Caspian and I were already going to make sure to bring him and his husband here for protection when we were ready. And we’re working as fast as we can, as hard as we can,” I scolded her lightly, and her shoulders slumped a little inwards as the weight of my words hit her.
“I didn’t think that you cared,” she murmured.
“You didn’t think, did you? Instead of coming to us with your worries, you put yourself in danger needlessly and as soon as you could,” I continued a bit more firmly, and she huddled a little bit more, making herself appear smaller.
“No, sir,” she whispered, her eyelashes fluttering against her cheek as she shifted from one foot to the other.
“You could have been killed. Did you think about how that would make Caspian and I feel, little girl? How lost we’d be now that we’ve found you? You don’t get it—you don’t get who you are. You don’t know what sort of disaster it would be to everyone if he kills you.”
“I didn’t think,” she shrank back, but she didn’t move away. Instead, it seemed like she leaned into me.
In every other instance, she’d fought her spanking, but right now, even she seemed to recognize that she needed one.
“What do you think needs to happen then, my sweet mate?” I pressed. I was leading her directly into this. I wanted her surrender. I wanted every bit of it before I made her unravel on top of my cock.
She fidgeted a bit in front of me, wringing her hands and shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
“Answer me, little one,” I demanded gently. “Do I need to take off my belt?”
“No, you don’t need to do that…” she answered, her exasperation clear from her tone.
“Tell me,” I coaxed. I wasn’t going to push her into this. I wanted her willing. I wanted her to bend to me, to offer me everything. I would take it all away from her, for at least a little while.
“Do you understand why you can’t leave?” I asked her. I’d been down this line of questioning with her before. So had Caspian… So had Miles. Every time in the past, she had stomped her feet around angrily. And we understood that she was a girl who liked her freedom. We figured she was just feeling shut-in, some cabin fever. But she hadn’t talked to us much about her brother except that she made an effort to call him once a day.
“Yes.”
“If you understood it, why did you think it was worth the risk?”
She took a deep breath and sighed. “I don’t know. I just thought I needed a conversation with my brother face-to-face. We had a lot to discuss.”
That made me quite nervous. “What did you discuss?”
She looked up at me, also looking nervous, her eyes darting over my face. “Kinda… Everything…?”
“What we are?”
“Yeah.”
“Where we live?”
“Yeah.”
“What you are?”
“Yeah.”
“Did you make sure that nobody could hear that conversation?” I asked.
“…why?”
Fate of the fucking world, she just wasn’t getting it.
Couldn’t, wouldn’t. I didn’t know. She wasn’t stupid—I’d had too many conversations with her four years ago, and fresh out of high school, to know that she was quick, clever, and canny. Yet this seemed to be having trouble sinking in for her.
“Strip,” I growled, pointing to the carpet. “I want you fully bare before I take you over my knee,” I instructed, and she almost sighed in relief at my words. Underneath all of that defiance and resistance, she needed this as much as I did. “Hopefully, when we’re done, you’ll be a little bit more fucking careful.” I went to pace the room for a moment, trying to loosen my shoulders.
She opened her mouth to argue, and I turned my head and looked at her.
