‘Yes, Daddy,’ I reply. ‘But nothing scares me when I’m with you!’
With that, Rafa turns the TV on and we snuggle together for a night of hot chocolate, cookies, and some seriously spooky shows.
Chapter 16
Rafa
‘Hey, baby boy, where are you?’ I call out, walking out from the shower in nothing but a small towel that’s so short it’s almost not worth wearing. ‘You’d better not be up to any mischief…’
I chuckle to myself and take a moment to pause.
I actually can’t hear a sound.
The last I saw of Aaron was right before I hit the shower. That was only twenty minutes ago, and he was happily singing to himself in the kitchen and munching on some Captain Crunch.
This silence is worrying. Maybe my sweety boy actually is getting up to some kind of naughtiness? I need to investigate. And micro-towel or not, investigate is what I’m going to do…
‘Oh boy? Oh boy?’ I holler, walking down the hallway and into the kitchen. ‘Huh. Not in here then…’
Aaron’s duck and donkey patterned cereal bowl is empty with barely a trace of milk left at the bottom. The boy must have taken himself to the living area for some play time. But that doesn’t explain why he’s not answering his Daddy. Something isdefinitely afoot – and I’m going to get to the bottom of it right now!
I walk into the living area and see that the TV is on, but there’s still no sign of Aaron. Then, just as I’m about to walk out and try the bedroom instead, I hear a rustling noise from behind the couch…
‘Got you!’ I laugh, bounding over toward the couch and duly finding Aaron all curled up behind it. ‘Were you trying to hide from Daddy?’
But very quickly I can tell from the look on my darling boy’s face that he’s not happy. Something has happened, and I need to find out what. I hate seeing my baby boy upset, and it’s time for me to get to work on righting whatever wrong has gone down.
‘D-D-D-Daddy…’ Aaron says, his voice trembling as he climbs up onto the couch and immediately snuggles up to me and buries his face in my lap. ‘I… I… I…’
‘It’s okay, Little Aaron,’ I say, my voice soft and soothing. ‘Daddy’s here now. You can take your time. You’re safe with me. I won’t let anything hurt you.’
I can feel that Aaron’s breathing hard and fast. The tremble in his voice is giving a lot away too. And then as I cast my eyes up toward the TV screen, everything makes sense…
‘Babyboy, were you watching a scary movie without your Daddy?’ I ask, knowing full well the answer. ‘We’ve talked about this. Especially when you’re all chilled out and maybe even in Little Space. It’s not a good idea, and now we know exactly why that is. Don’t we?’
‘Y-y-y-yes, Daddy,’ Aaron replies, her heart beating so hard that I can feel its rhythm up against my body. ‘Please don’t be mad. I just kinda thought it would be okay, just this once. But… it wasn’t.’
‘I’m not mad,’ I reply, smiling. ‘But when Daddy lays down the rules, it’s for good reason. You know?’
‘Uh-huh,I know,’ Aaron says, sounding like he’s still afraid.
‘There won’t be a spanking this time,’ I continue. ‘I think you’ve had a shock and that’s probably enough to help you learn your lesson. But if it happens again, I’ll have your pajama bottoms down around your ankles in triple-quick time. Got it?’
‘Got it, Daddy,’ Aaron says, his voice full of regret. ‘Can you change the station, please? Make the bad movie go away, please.’
I reach for the TV remote and one quick click of a button later, normal service has been resumed with an old-timey cartoon playing on the screen.
‘It’s safe for you to look now,’ I say, gently turning Aaron’s cuddly body so that he can stay on my lap and watch Bugs Bunny getting up to some mischief. ‘I think this is more like it, don’t you?’
Aaron giggles and nods, already engrossed in Bug Bunny’s adventures.
But Aaron’s attention is soon taken by something other than the TV…
‘Daddy, why aren’t you wearing any clothes?’ Aaron asks, suddenly realizing that he can feel my naked cock pressing up against his perfectly round, pajama-clad butt cheeks.
I let out a belly laugh.
The truth is that I hadn’t even realized that myself. In my rush to comfort Aaron, my micro-towel must have fallen off my waist…
