Boyd slowly leaned back in his chair and spotted the playful smirk Caleb tried and failed to hold completely in check. Boyd slowly held up five fingers, waggling them at Caleb and arching an eyebrow at him.
Five strokes.
Caleb’s smile broke through and he nodded. It wasn’t often Boyd assigned strokes like that, but usually it was because Caleb had turned a little bratty, just a smidge, deliberately. Like he had on the phone with him before.
Boyd loved his playful spirit. He pointed at the door. “Go on. Good luck over at Zoning.”
“Thank you…Sir.” That one was accompanied by a wink. Boyd struggled not to reach down to adjust himself and give Caleb the satisfaction of knowing he’d done that to him.
