Chapter 17
Chapter Seventeen
Sienna had never been so tired in her entire life as she was when her mate lowered her into the warm water in the giant tub in his bathroom. She sighed heavily as he sat behind her and arranged her back against his front.
The day had taken a toll on both of them. She suspected Jayce had been through an even greater ordeal than she had. After all, he’d been forced to pace next to Surge and wait for her to return from her visit with Navin.
She’d run back as fast as she could, shifted midair the moment she spotted Jayce, and leaped into his arms. She’d never been so glad to see anyone in her entire life.
Her man. Her mate. Her Daddy.
Instead of reprimanding her, he’d kissed her all over her face and hugged her so tight she couldn’t breathe. He’d also carried her back to Elias’s house, Surge alongside them.
The afternoon had been filled with answering questions. Hundreds of them. It had fallen on Sienna’s shoulders to answer them. No one else had been present with the lion. She’d felt the weight of the responsibility pressing heavily against her shoulders.
Jayce had held her in his lap the entire time, never taking his hands off her body, stroking up and down her arms and legs as if reassuring himself that she was alive and well.
She doubted he would ever let her out of his sight again.
As she stared at the water coming out of the spigot, she said, “I’m not sure I’ll ever trust another faucet again.”
Daddy chuckled as he reached around her to turn off the flow of water. “I’ll double-check all of the nozzles in the house first thing tomorrow, Little one. For your reassurance. And mine.”
“What a strange thing to happen,” she muttered.
“It was obviously all part of your destiny. It set the wheels in motion. We knew you would need to be wearing that blue dress at some point. What we didn’t know was that it would be today. You must have nearly fainted when Leah pulled it out of the closet.”
“I did. I think I was yanked into a sort of trance from that very moment. I could do without that happening again anytime soon. It was unnerving.”
He stroked her arms lightly with his fingertips. “Me, too, Little mate. I think several years were shaved off the end of my life when I discovered you missing.”
“I hope Arion isn’t too hard on Jezebel. She could no more control her part in my escape than I could.”
“I’m certain he will spank her naughty bottom tonight just as hard as I intend to spank yours.
” Jayce’s tone was one of promise. He fully intended to punish her, but she was absolutely going to enjoy it.
The events of the day did little more than provide an excuse for him to discipline her.
They wouldn’t get these kinds of opportunities very often because Sienna didn’t plan to disobey her Daddy’s orders with any regularity.
She squirmed in his arms. It was impossible to let her body relax with him touching her, and breathing on her neck, and smelling like he did, all musky.
As tired as she was, she would not rest until he claimed her at least one time tonight.
Sienna said nothing while Jayce washed her body meticulously and slowly, deliberately taking his time.
She didn’t argue because every stroke of his palm felt so good that she never wanted it to end.
It was like a long, drawn-out foreplay. Even though foreplay wasn’t the least bit necessary, it still felt nice.
When he was done, he lifted her out of the tub, patted her body dry, and gripped the back of her neck to guide her into the bedroom. “Stand next to the bed, naughty girl. About three feet from the mattress. I want you to lean over, place your palms on the comforter, and push your bottom out.”
She whimpered as she assumed the position. Her blood pulsed rapidly through her body, making her feel overheated. Arousal was already leaking from her pussy to run down her inner thighs. There would never be a way to hide her need from him. He could scent it in the air. Just as she could scent his.
Jayce set a hand on the small of her back.
His cock bobbed against her hip. “I’m so damn proud of you, Little mate.
You were so brave today. I’m humbled by your strength and the gifts you possess.
You will always be a key member of our pack, and I will forever stand behind you and support you when you’re called upon to serve. ”
Tears dripped from her eyes at his reverence. “I love you, Daddy.” It was the only way she knew to convey her appreciation for his words.
“I love you, too, Little mate. I will love you until we grow old and gray, and that might come sooner than I’d like if you ever scare me to death like you did today,” he teased.
She wiggled her butt as he cupped her cheeks in one of his huge palms. “You should probably punish me, Daddy.” She barely recognized this new bold side of her. This wasn’t the first time today she’d surprised herself with her quick wit.
Daddy chuckled before he lifted his palm and delivered the first swat. “Don’t move,” he ordered when she swayed forward. “If you can’t stay still, I’ll continue spanking you until you learn.”
She pursed her lips and focused on his command. It was hard, though. Between the force of his slaps and the instinct to avoid the next one at all costs, she kept rocking forward.
“Watch your breasts sway with every swat, naughty girl. Try to keep them from swinging.”
She held her breath as she glanced at her boobs. They were definitely swishing back and forth with each slap against her behind. Preventing that was an impossibility, but he knew that. He was trying to challenge her.
Sienna may have been a mousy girl with few friends who’d inadvertently become shy and introverted as a result of keeping a lie all of her life, but she was finding her spine now. If he intended to challenge her, she intended to prove herself.
It hurt. Her butt was on fire from absorbing the rain of spanks back and forth from one cheek to the other. Over and over until her ears were ringing from the rhythmic slaps.
She managed to hold still for as long as possible until the pain switched from a stinging burn to a welcome cause for her arousal. Her pussy pulsed with every slap of his hand. She needed to come.
Jayce continued, not stopping until she cried out. Maybe that wasn’t the right way to describe the howl that filled the house when she tipped her head back and let it out. The release she got from her voice was almost as good as the one she’d gotten from his palm.
Neither were as nice as the one he followed them both with. His fingers plunged into her pussy from behind, sending her instantly into a powerful orgasm.
She thought her legs were going to give out, but he stepped behind her, held her up with his hands on her hips, and thrust his shaft into her pussy. He supported her weight entirely while he fucked her hard, deep, and fast.
It didn’t last long. Soon, she was flying out of her body from yet another orgasm, and Daddy followed right behind her, his howl joining her higher-pitched one.
If she wasn’t mistaken, there were other similar howls of release coming from all over the mountain tonight.
Everyone was celebrating the end of a long and trying period that would be recorded and studied for centuries by the elders.
When Jayce pulled out of her, he turned her around, lifted her onto the mattress, and tucked a diaper under her. It didn’t surprise her one bit that he didn’t clean her first. He liked knowing that his seed would run out of her and coat her skin.
She also knew he wouldn’t leave her like this for long. He would snuggle against her, talk to her for a while, and then encourage her to wet her diaper so he could change it, wipe her folds, and apply diaper cream.
Sienna’s breath hitched as she saw all of that with such clarity in her mind, realizing it wasn’t just a guess. It was foreshadowing.
Jayce’s brow furrowed. “Are you okay, Baby girl? Did I hurt you? Is the diaper too tight?”
“No, Daddy. I’m perfect.” She reached for him, encouraging him to join her in the bed. She didn’t want to tell him about her little vision. She couldn’t even be certain it would come to pass yet.
Who was she kidding? Of course it would. But a girl should be able to keep a few tiny little secrets to herself, shouldn’t she? After all, it would stress Jayce out all the time if he thought she would always know what he was planning to do next.
No. He didn’t need that burden. She would keep it to herself. Maybe it wouldn’t happen often…
