“Come here.” He tugged her over to the bed. “While I know a lot of Doms enjoy having their women at their feet, I’m not one of them.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Damon shook his head. “Believe my words, Tessa. I don’t want you kneeling on the floor in our bedroom or in the club. I might want you to sit on the floor and lean on my legs at the club, but that would be the extent of it. Understand?”
“I do, Sir.”
“Good. Now on your hands and knees on the bed. It’s time for your punishment.”
She sighed and climbed onto the mattress in the position he asked for. “This for leaving your seat in the club when I told you to stay there.”
“Yes, Sir.” Tessa dropped her head.
Damon rubbed her ass, watching her skin flush. Then he raised his hand and brought it down.
“Ohhhh.” She’d shifted her body down but then rose back up.
“Good girl.” He rubbed the area he’d smacked before he did it again on her other ass cheek. This time she didn’t move. By the fourth smack, Tessa was moaning. “Two more,” he said and rapidly landed them, before rubbing her ass. It was hot, but he hadn’t hit her hard. Enough to get his point across.
Damon stripped off his clothes and climbed onto the mattress. “Come here.” He held his arms open.
Tessa climbed up over his body until she was lying on top of him, her head on his chest, her legs tangling with his. “Such a good girl. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, Sir.”
“Drop the sir. I don’t need it right now.” He stroked her back and ass, feeling the heat from his spanking. “Your skin is hot.”
“I’m not surprised,” she said. “I feel like every nerve in my body has moved into my butt.”
“The blood flow has increased in the area. I want to know how you felt about the spanking?”
Tessa tilted her head up. “Are you asking me if I liked it?”
“Yes.”
“It was different.” She bit her lip in concentration. “You weren’t heavy handed, but I did feel it.”
“Have you been spanked before?” Why hadn’t he thought to ask that question before?
“Once, but nothing like this.” She snuggled up to him. “You were holding back, weren’t you?”
“A bit. I understood why you left your seat. You saw a sub in need, and you reacted.”
“That I did.”
“So your punishment was light. Further defiance will mean harsher punishments.”
“I understand.” Her head dropped to his shoulder. “Will Harper be okay?”
“I believe so. She was upset but not traumatized.”
“I’ll never forget Brady’s face when Crystal brought him to my house.”
“How did you get caught up in that?” He’d wondered about it since she said she’d met Sage during the whole court thing.
“Brady needed a place to stay for a few days where no one would find him. Crystal knew I had an extra bedroom, and no one would put us together.”
“I’m glad you helped Brady and Sage. That was not a good situation.”
