"Good girl. Let's finish this spanking and then we can cuddle."

"H-how many more?" she softly asked, hoping he would tell her this time.

"Nice try," Daddy said. "I'm not telling you."

She pouted but quickly stopped when Daddy started to spank her again. It was like his hand was made of steel because it hurt so bad. Tears formed in her eyes again as her bottom throbbed in pain.

"Daddddyyyy," she whimpered.

"I know, Little one. We're almost done," he said as he continued to pepper her bottom with spankings.

The swats got harder, and she felt herself sob and go limp over his lap. Daddy stopped and rubbed her bottom for a second.

"Such a good girl, taking the punishment so well," Daddy said as he helped her up.

She clung onto him as she sat on his lap, his legs apart so her bottom wasn't touching anything. She sagged into his embrace as he held her tightly against him.

“Your hand is made of steel,” Sofia said into his shirt.

She felt her Daddy’s chest moving. “Every Daddy has a hand of steel. Helps keep the Littles in line.”

“No fair. Maybe I should make my hand steel so I can spank your butt butt.”

“Littles don’t spank Daddies. That’s Daddy’s job to spank the Little’s bottom.”

Sofia pouted and snuggled into his chest.

"We're going to sit here for a couple of minutes and just snuggle," Daddy said. "Then we can go home."

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

JAXSON

Two days had passed since Jaxson found out about the threatening notes and Sofia's punishment. It had been long overdue and she had started to get anxious about it. He didn't like seeing her in pain, but he also needed to show her that she couldn't get away with naughty behavior.

She had been reckless, and he needed to help guide her back and be conscious about her decisions. He needed to help her understand that she mattered and it wasn't okay for her to put herself in danger.

It would never be okay for her to do that.

"Do you have a minute to talk?" Leo asked as he stepped into Jaxson's office.

Jaxson pushed away from his desk and looked up. "What do you need?"

It wasn't unusual for some of the other co-owners to walk into his office. They all liked to keep each other in the loop about things happening in the club. No one wanted to have a surprise land in their lap.

"I did some research and have found some options for Sofia and the whole Green Card situation," Leo said. "Is now a good time to talk about them?"

"Yeah," Jaxson replied.

He was interested to know what Leo had found. He hadn't had any time to look into things and that was probably why Leo offered to research it for him. Jaxson thought he would've had a couple of minutes to briefly look at things, but by the time night had come, he was exhausted and would fall asleep right next to Sofia.

He absolutely loved sleeping next to her. She was a cuddler at night and he loved it. No matter how he turned, she would always find herself right next to him. He had woken up a couple of times and she was sucking her thumb while holding his arm.

Fucking adorable.

Jaxson could watch her sleep for hours. Well, even if she wasn't asleep he could watch her for hours.

"First, I need to ask if you love her," Leo said.
