“Huh.” Chad couldn’t relate to that at all. He hadn’t always had a frictionless relationship with his mom and dad, but he both like and loved them tremendously.
When they were home, Peter parking the SUV in one of the spaces reserved for his cars, Peter turned to him.
“I’m sorry I said I was going to spank you.”
“So you’re not going to?”
Peter shook his head. “Not unless you want me to. I don’t… It isn’t my job to punish you. I’m your mate, not your dad.”
Chad shrugged. Suddenly a spanking didn’t seem so bad at all.
“You can if you want,” he said, blushing when Peter sent him a look like he knew exactly what was going through his head.
“We’ll see,” Peter said.
They climbed out of the SUV and headed for the elevator. Peter put his hand on the back of Chad’s neck again, and Chad breathed out a sigh.
Everything was going to be okay.
