Page 75 of Break Me, Daddy

“What’s that?”

“Will you still… will you still hold me afterward? Braden is nice and all but…”

“But you want your Daddy to hold you after your spanking is done?”

“Yes.”

“I will always be here to comfort you, Francesca. You don’t even need to ask.”

“All right. Then I guess I’ll take the spanking.”

Chapter28

Holden

Under any other circumstances, he would have considered making Frankie wait for a spanking to be part of her punishment. But sitting in his living room, waiting for another man to come and take her over his knee was turning out to be a punishment for him as much as her.

There was a part of him that still wondered if this was the right move. It made sense, and his gut told him she’d feel better about getting Lottie in trouble if she suffered the same consequences. But he was a territorial man, not used to sharing the women he cared about, and just the thought of someone else spanking her was enough to fill him with a jealous rage, no matter how much he trusted Braden.

“Is that them? I heard a car door.” Popping up from the couch for the fifth time in less than fifteen minutes, Frankie twisted her hands together, her gaze flitting from him to the front door and back again.

Urged on by the need to provide the comfort she’d asked for when she’d agreed to his plan, Holden rose to his feet, drawing her into his arms and holding her there until she settled with a sigh.

“You don’t have to do this, you know.”

“I know.” Another little sigh before she pulled back to look up at him, her expression resolute. “But I deserve it. Lying to you was bad enough, but getting Lottie involved… If she got a spanking, then I at least deserve what she got.”

He couldn’t argue with her logic, but he took her chin in his hand, holding her gaze as he spoke. “You deserve whatever punishment yourDaddydecides to give you. If you’re uncomfortable with someone else spanking you, then just say the word and we’ll change course. And you will accept the punishment I decide on, and you will not punish yourself further once it’s done.”

Everything about her visibly relaxed at his words. “That helps. But I still want to do this.”

“You’ll use your safeword if you change your mind.”

An order, not a request, and judging by the way her expression sobered, she took it as such. “Yes, Daddy.”

The doorbell rang, interrupting their moment, and he nearly swore under his breath. “Go stand in that empty corner over there, pants and panties at your knees and your hands folded behind your back.”

Even though they’d discussed how she’d present herself for her punishment, her nose still wrinkled at the command. “I hate the corner.”

“I know. Which is exactly why I’m putting you there.”

Turning her toward the corner in question, he sent her scurrying with a hard swat to her bottom. He waited, watching as she readied herself per his instructions, putting her bare ass clearly on display before he made his way to the front door.

Lottie and Braden were on the front porch, the former looking even more nervous than his own babygirl. “Thanks for coming. Frankie is waiting for us in the living room.”

“Oh man. This is fuckingsurreal.” Movements jerky, Lottie stepped into the entryway, twisting her head around to take in the spacious foyer before locking her gaze on his. “Are you sure she’s okay with this?”

“Yes. And she knows she has her safewords if it gets to be too much.”

“Same.” A weak smile trembled on her lips. “Daddy said I could use mine if I needed to. But not to like, interfere with her punishments. Just if like… I can’t take it.”

“Understandable.” And a relief, honestly. Hopefully that would be enough to prevent any hurt feelings or jealousy after it was all said and done.

“Lottie-bug, why don’t you go join Frankie in the living room and give Holden and I a minute to talk.” With his arm wrapped around Lottie’s waist, Braden leaned in to press a kiss to her temple.

“Oh. Um. Okay. Sure.”

“Straight through there.” Holden pointed toward the room he’d just left. “Fair warning, I put her in the corner with her pants down to wait for us.”
