After rinsing out her mouth, she looked into the mirror. God, she looked like death warmed up. Pale with dark marks under her eyes and a bruise on the side of her face. But there was something she had to do, something that she shouldn’t put off any longer.
“I’m so sorry,” she said croakily.
“You need to stop talking,” he warned her.
She shook her head. What she had to say couldn’t be said through a phone or tablet, it had to be said from her.
“I touched you without your permission. I’m so sorry. Do you feel violated?”
His eyes widened, and he gaped down at her. Somehow it was easier to talk when she was staring at him through the mirror rather than facing him.
But that barrier disappeared as he lifted her, turning her in the air and setting her down on her bottom on the counter next to the sink.
She tried to keep her gaze lowered, but he grasped hold of her chin and tilted her head back, giving her a serious look.
“Is that what’s upsetting you?” he asked. “And before you try to talk again, just nod or shake your head.”
She nodded.
“I thought you were upset because I was in your bed,” he said to her.
She shook her head.
“Right, then listen carefully. You don’t have to be upset about this. I don’t feel violated. I don’t feel like you touched me without permission, or whatever else is going through your head. You were sleepy. You were running your hand over me. And frankly, I have no objection to you touching my cock if you want to. I hope that doesn’t scare you.”
It scared her a little bit, which was odd when it also made her feel relieved. This whole situation had all of her feelings upside down and inside out.
She didn’t know what she was feeling half the time, or if it was even the appropriate reaction.
“I can see it does a little bit. I just want you to know that however you want to touch me, I’m likely all right with it. I mean, if you stuck your wet finger in my ear, or your tongue, or you tried to lick my toes, that might not be okay. But having your hand around my cock, that’s fine. I just don’t want you to be upset about it, all right? No more vomiting. No more hiding.”
She nodded.
“I’m going to hug you now, okay?”
Before that could even really register in her mind, he had his arms around her and was rocking her lightly back and forth.
And that sense of safety came back to her. She let out a deep sigh, relaxing into his embrace.
He lifted her up off the counter and held her fully against him. His body was so firm and warm that she snuggled in.
“Oh, baby, you’re all cold, aren’t you? My poor little girl,” he crooned. “I’m going to make you all nice and snuggly and warm. I’m going to get you a warm drink for your throat, and we’re going to have a little chat.”
She made a noise at the suggestion they needed to have a talk. She wasn’t really in a talking mood. If anything, she wanted to slip into Little headspace and just disappear for a while.
“You can go into Little headspace soon if you want,” he promised. “But we just need to make sure that you’re okay first.”
“I am,” she grumbled.
He lightly patted her bottom. It was more the suggestion of a threat than any sort of punishment.
“No more talking. You’ve done enough this morning, and you’re already in trouble for that, remember? I’d hate to have to double your line count.”
Was he serious? He was going to take her from one hundred to two?
That wasn’t very fair.
“Although I’ve actually got another idea now. Maybe just a very light spanking would be enough as punishment, not one that would actually make you cry out loud so someone would hear. But lightly patting your bottom like this might be enough.”
Oh my God, she hated that he was right. If he put her over his knee and bared her bottom, just lightly touching it like he was now, that probably would serve as a punishment.
“After all, it’s not always the pain, is it? Just the idea of being punished for being naughty can make a little girl change her ways.”
The man was pure evil genius, and she both loved and hated that about him. She just hoped that he hadn’t figured out how much she would hate that.
“I can tell that’s a good idea for a punishment,” he said as he carried her into the bedroom.
Nooo!
It really sucked how easily he could read what she was thinking.
After sitting her down on the bed, he grabbed a blanket from the end and laid it out. To her surprise, he shifted her onto the blanket on her back, and then tucked it around her until she was swaddled. For a moment, Addie wasn’t sure whether she would like that it, or if she’d feel kind of trapped.
