The joy in his heart couldn’t be matched by any other feeling he could recall. “I’m yours, Daddy. You have my heart, my body, my devotion. Anything and everything you want. I love you.”

Lee grinned. “It’s so incredible to hear you say those wonderful words, and even better that I can say them back.” Lee claimed his mouth in another breath-stealing kiss. “I love you too, boy. With everything in me.”

After another quick kiss, Lee guided him inside. Ash surveyed the open plan living area with the high-ceiling and gourmet cook’s dream of a kitchen. He noted the new appliances and that the throw rugs had changed from black to a faux fur white. However, the décor made no difference to him. All that mattered was being back.

Lee lifted his bag up and down as if checking the weight. “No toys?”

“Uh…” This time when the heat crawled up his neck, Ash imagined his face must be scarlet. It wasn’t like him to get embarrassed. But he was feeling shy around Lee for some reason. He cleared his throat. “Perhaps a butt plug or two.”

“Feeling sure of yourself?”

Ash snorted. “Not at all. That was in case Ididn’tget lucky.”

Lee let out a loud laugh. “Well, I’m sure we’ll find a use for them. I haven’t forgotten what a size queen you are. Or am I assuming too much?”

Ash covered his eyes with one hand. “You’re probably not assumingenough.”

“Mmm…” Lee’s voice had become husky. “I look forward to exploring the meaning behind that statement.”

The next several minutes consisted of Lee taking Ash by the hand then leading him up the stairs to the enormous main bedroom. They spent a few minutes with Lee helping Ash sort through the things that needed to be put away and what should go into the hamper. Very few items were put away, although Lee took extra time examining the plugs until Ash’s erection was pressing uncomfortably against the zipper of his jeans.

“So, uh…”

Ash couldn’t keep his hands still. Not knowing what was going to happen next had him on edge. Would Lee make him wait all night before punishing him? Allow the tension to build until Ash was ready to snap? Lee had done that in the past when he’d really misbehaved, and it drove Ash crazy. He sensed his current crime was worthy of such a fate.

Lee regarded him with a smirk as he slowly removed his own clothes. “I don’t think I’ll bother going back to work today. I’ll let my assistant and Shane know, then you’ll have my undivided attention.” He raised a single eyebrow. “And the palm of my hand on your naked ass.”

Ash whimpered. Lee was expert level when it came to spankings. They could be slow and sensuous, used as an edging tool, or sharp and stern when reserved for punishment. Ash knew exactly which kind he’d be getting.

Lee paused when he reached his racy red designer briefs that highlighted an impressive bulge. Ash licked his lips. He couldn’t wait to see Lee’s gorgeous cock again. He wouldn’t kid himself, he wouldn’t get to taste it tonight—that was for sure. But seeing Lee’s hard dick, with perhaps a drop of precum at the slit, wasalmostas good.

With a wicked chuckle, Lee shook a finger at him. “Oh no, not yet. I’m merely getting out of my work clothes then throwing on a robe to get comfortable. You, however, will be butt-ass naked. Got it?”

A thread of pleasure coursed through him, his Daddy taking charge again filling him with contentment.

“Yes, Daddy. Whatever you say.”

“Good. That’s what I like to hear.” Lee blinked several times then cocked his head. “You’re still wearing clothes.”

Ash jerked to attention, his gaze still fixed on his hot Daddy and thoughts overrun with all the delicious things they could share together.

“Oh! So I am.” He gave a shaky laugh. “Taking care of that right now.”

Lee held up a palm. “Slowly. Give Daddy a show, something I can get off to later.”

Ash froze mid shirt lift. “Wait. What does that mean?”

“Are you questioning Daddy already?”

Oh, man. “No?”

“That still sounds like a question, pup.”

“Sorry.”

Ash took a breath then started again, running his palms beneath his shirt, teasing with the hem as if he were about to lift it before letting go. He turned around then cupped his jean clad ass, squeezing the globes as he peered over his shoulder with a moan. Daddy was palming his own bulge and Ash added a long, slow lick around his mouth before turning around again.

“Mmm…that’s Daddy’s sexy baby. Give me more, I need to see some skin.”
