I grin and kiss her. “You’re taking up all the ‘I love yous.’ You have to leave some for me.”
She grins. “I take them allz.”
“I’ll steal them all back from you.”
She rubs the chain again. “You really collar me?”
“Would you like a ceremony like Emily’s having?” In just a few hours.
She scrunches up her face. “Maybe?”
“Maybe yes?”
“Maybe just you and me and a party later?”
“I like the sound of that. I want to put it on you now, baby. Tomorrow, we’ll get the chain reinforced so you can wear it all the time, but tonight, I want to see my collar around your throat.”
Her smile trembles even as it widens. “Pease.”
“Love you so much, my baby.”
“No-noes, you beat me to it.”
“It’s a race. Oppa’s faster.”
“Never. I sting you, you trip and fall, I win.”
I kiss her until she can’t breathe, then take the chain out of the box and slide it around her soft throat. “My baby.”
“My Oppa.”
“You’ll be my baby until I release you from this collar.”
“You’z be my Oppa until you take it from me. Love you so much.”
“I love you. Do we need a contract, baby? I built things like taking care of yourself and communicating with me into our app, but if you want a contract, I’ll get Logan to help me with one as soon as he comes back from Niagara Falls.”
“No, Oppa, I love our app. Helps me so much. I feel happy when I use it. You’z feel happy when you get a chibi from me?”
“I love it. It makes me feel like I’m doing a good job as your Oppa.”
“You iz.”
“Okay. The contracts Logan sent me had punishments and limits in it. If I build those into the app, will that make you feel safe with me?”
“I’z feel safe with you now. Never felt safe like this before. Not with anybody. But you put punishments and limits in the app and then I know what they iz. And you let me add stings to the app. Every time Oppa’s naughty, I giz him a sting.”
I chuckle. “That’s a deal. Baby, I know today was hard, but I’m not sorry it happened. It got everything out in the open. I know you’ll need time before you talk to your family, but I’ll do everything I can to make sure you have that time, and I’ll be with you every step of the way.”
She frames my face with her soft hands. “Oppa. You’z talk to them tonight?”
“I did. I talked to your dad and Jun and your grandma. Your dad was pretty chill. Jun and Baachan, not so much.”
She makes a soft, sad noise. “They never chill. They angry? Yell at you?”
“Yes.”
“I’z sorry, Oppa.”
