Pierce

He was going to play along once he stopped rolling his eyes and snickering.

“My feelings are hurt and you’re not even trying to make me feel better.”

I definitely wasn’t helping the situation, but after a few more seconds, he managed to get himself mostly under control. I even got a kiss as he took a deep breath to hold back the giggles that kept trying to escape. “I’m sorry, Daddy. I was so mean to you.”

I got another kiss, but a few more happy sounds escaped before he tried to speak again. “You’re not dramatic. I was just trying to get attention.”

Oh, I liked that.

“All that for attention? I don’t know what to say.” Because I hadn’t expected that response.

But he was good at the game and kissed me again. “I do, Daddy. I’m going to say sorry and then give you all the attention.”

Worked for me, but I was pretty sure I was supposed to play hard to get. “I don’t believe you. You were so mean to me.”

Merritt buried his face against my shoulder and shook as he did his best to hide his laughter. After a bit, he let out a breath slowly and tried to sound apologetic. “Trust me, Daddy. I’ll show you I’m sorry.”

Since that included sliding lower down my body and kissing my chest, I decided to be open-minded. “I don’t know…”

“I do, Daddy.” Pressing another kiss right between my nipples, he nuzzled against me and started his seduction. “I’ll show you and I’ll take care of you.”

Such a sexy little mage.

“I…I trust you.” And I was head over heels for him. “But you have to show me how sorry you are.”

Because if he wanted us to make love, we had to stop getting distracted by other fun ways to orgasm.

“Oh, I will.” He sounded relaxed and teasing, but I could hear the hum of his thoughts through the bond. “But to really show you how sorry I am, I need to get ready.”

Kiss.

Kiss.

Oh.

“I can be patient.” There were just some things it wasn’t a good idea to rush through. “As long as I know you’re going to make it up to me. I’m injured. Hurt. Traumatized.”

And so dramatic I was fit to be a local.

Merritt shook with silent laughter, hiding his face against my chest. “Yes, Daddy.”

That was all he could get out for a long few moments, but eventually he nodded slowly and let out a breath. “I’ll make it up to you.”

When he lifted his head, he was smiling, but I could see desire in his eyes and feel it pulsing through the bond. “Thoroughly, Daddy.”

I approved…I definitely approved.

“I trust you, naughty goose.” Ha. He almost laughed. “Especially when you look so earnest and serious.”

“I am.” Nodding, he pinched his lips together and gave me a quick peck before he bounced off the bed and grabbed the toiletry bag he’d picked up at the trailer. “Very serious, Daddy.”

Seriously silly…but he was in the bathroom before I could tell him that.

He was in the bathroom.

Okay, I didn’t have long.
