Page 49 of Sir Avery's Wish
“I know, communication.” A flush rose high on Eli’s cheeks. “Before we begin, I need you to know something.”
“I’m listening.”
Eli’s blush deepened. “I love you. I love you so much, Sir. I’ve been trying to hold it in, but I can’t. And I signed a contract that says I have to be honest about everything, so I had no choice but to tell you.”
Avery got over his initial shock and yanked Eli into his arms, caressing his back and peppering his face with kisses.
“Oh, my sweet, sweet baby.” Avery sniffed, his emotions all over the place. “I love you, too. I’ve known from almost the moment I brought you home, but I didn’t want to overwhelm you while you were dealing with so much.”
Eli squeezed Avery’s neck. “Then spank me to seal the deal.”
They both fell into laughter, and the tension was eased. Avery released Eli and stepped back.
“Strip. Then on your knees.”
Before Avery could suck in another breath, Eli had yanked his shirt over his head. He then pushed his pants down, nearly tripping as he tried to step out of them. He sank to his knees on the plush carpet, hands resting on his thighs, exactly as Avery had taught him. Avery held in a chuckle. They could work on Eli’s grace another time.
“Beautiful,” Avery murmured, circling his boy. Eli’s pale, freckled skin was almost translucent beneath the glow of the flickering candles. “Keep your back straight.”
Eli adjusted his position, pulling his shoulders back as he straightened his spine. His cock was already half-hard, rising between his thighs. The trust of Eli’s submission made Avery's chest tighten.
“Very good. Now rise to your feet as smoothly as you can.”
Eli winced at a slight wobble, then regained his composure.
“That’s all right, boy,” Avery soothed. “I see how hard you’re trying.”
Avery waited a moment to allow Eli to settle before moving to the next thing. When it seemed as if Eli was ready, Avery crossed the short distance to the love seat and sat down. He patted his leather-clad thighs.
“Come here.”
Eli obeyed, licking his lips as he padded over to Avery. He guided Eli across his lap, positioning him so his bare ass was perfectly presented for spanking. As he ran his hand over Eli’ssoft, smooth skin, he parted his thighs just enough to make a space for Eli’s cock.
“I'm going to warm you up slowly.” Avery kept his voice low and steady. “Don’t anticipate. Let yourself go and feel what’s happening to you.”
Eli nodded, his face pressed against the velvet upholstery. “Yes, Sir.”
He placed one hand at the small of Eli’s back to steady him. “Palms flat on the floor, and that’s where they stay. I’m in control. Understand?”
“I understand, Sir.” Eli’s voice wavered a tad.
“I’ll start with five.”
The first gentle smack landed on Eli’s right cheek, more sound than sensation. Eli tensed, then immediately relaxed as if surprised it hadn’t hurt. The second and third strikes were equally gentle, designed to awaken the nerve endings rather than cause pain.
“You’re doing well. Two more.”
Avery rubbed the slightly pink skin, his hardening dick starting to press uncomfortably against his leather pants. The fourth and fifth strikes fell with a bit more strength, and Avery groaned at the sight of the beautiful, rosy glow spreading across Eli’s skin. Avery ran his palm over the heated flesh, relishing the way Eli pressed back into his touch.
“How are you feeling, boy?” Avery continued caressing his warm skin.
“Good, Sir.” Eli’s voice was breathy. “Turned on.”
Avery grinned. “Nice to hear. I’m going to increase the intensity now. Five more.”
He lifted his hand higher, bringing it down with more force. The satisfying smack echoed in the room, followed by Eli’s sharp intake of breath. He paused, giving Eli a moment to process the sensation before delivering the next strike to the opposite cheek.
Eli’s hips shifted slightly, his hard cock warm against Avery’s thigh. The third strike landed on the sensitive spot where Eli’s thigh met his buttock, making him squirm.
