“Anytime, darlin’. Anytime.”

Reggie lay on the sofa, her head resting against Alex’s chest as they both watched a crappy horror movie on T.V.

“Eek!” she screamed as she hid her face against Alex’s thigh at a particularly scary part. Alex chuckled and rubbed her back soothingly.

“Perhaps this movie is a little scary for you, little one. We don’t want you having nightmares.”

“I’m not a child, Alex.”

He moved, reaching down further to pat her still throbbing ass. “Not a child, but you are my little one. And you looked so cute when you were over my lap earlier getting a spanking. Your legs were scissor kicking while your little bottom went from lily white to a very angry red. But perhaps I didn’t spank you hard enough.”

Reggie glared up at him, knowing he was teasing, but still too sore from her spanking earlier to laugh it off. “You spanked me quite hard enough, thank you very much.”

And he had. He’d caught her up a ladder when he had specifically told her he didn’t want her climbing it without him. First, he’d ordered her down from the ladder which had been up against the inside wall of the barn, then grabbing her by the hand he’d made her strip off her pants and lay over a hay bale, where he proceeded to spank her ass.

Once he’d reduced her to a sobbing, heaving mess, he’d held her and made her promise that she wouldn’t climb up a ladder again without him.

Afterward, he’d made love to her in the barn before ordering her inside for a nap. Which is why it was getting close to her bedtime, and she was still wide awake.

Suddenly, the front door rattled with the force of a powerful knock. Before Reggie could move, they both heard it open and Alex stiffened.

“Yo, Alex, it’s just me.”

Alex rose to his feet as a tall, dark-haired man appeared. “Matt, good to see you.”

The stranger moved into the living room. He was smiling, but to Reggie, it didn’t look like a very happy smile.

“You too, big brother.”

Reggie peered up at him in interest. So this rather angry-looking man must be Alex’s brother, Matthias. The family resemblance was there in the dark hair and the way they both held themselves so confidently. But where Alex had laugh lines on his face and warm brown eyes, this man’s icy blue eyes seemed to be stern and unbending, like he didn’t have much to smile about.

Alex was smiling as he walked forward and clasped the slightly shorter man in his arms for a brief hug. “This is a surprise. I didn’t realize you were coming tonight.”

“Neither did I,” Matthias replied. “But I had a gap in my schedule, and I needed to get away for a while.”

Alex opened his mouth to ask more, but Matthias directed his attention toward Reggie, who was now standing awkwardly by the sofa.

“Sorry,” Alex said. “Reagan, my younger brother Matthias and this is Reagan.”

“Reagan, lovely to meet you.” Reagan shook his firm hand, surprised by its warmth. She’d expected his temperature to run cool.

“Nice to meet you too, Matthias. Call me Reggie.”

“Reagan was just going to bed,” Alex stated. Moving to her side, he placed an arm around her and kissed her forehead, ignoring her blush of embarrassment.

“Well then, I look forward to getting to know you better tomorrow,” Mattias said.

Matthias’ manners were smooth, but she could sense his impatience. It was obvious that he wanted to speak to Alex alone, so Reggie just nodded, and moved quickly from the room.

Heading up the stairs, Reggie came to a stop, slapping her forehead with the palm of her hand as she swore softly. She’d left her cell phone in the living room. Quietly, she walked back towards the living room, knowing that Alex wasn’t going to be happy with her, but she didn’t want to leave her phone there.

Coming to a stop outside the open door, she prepared to announce her re-entrance but froze as she heard her name mentioned.

“You didn’t tell me she was living with you,” Matthias said.

Reggie waited, her lips clasped tight, for Alex's answer.

“It wasn’t important,” Alex answered as Reggie’s stomach dropped in shock and disappointment.
