“And there are plenty of ways to contribute without following their path. What doyouwant to do, little dove?”
Another simple question with an impossibly complicated answer. An answer she’d never really let herself think about because as far as she’d been concerned her life had already been all laid out for her. “I don’t know. I’ve never really had any kind of pull toward anything. Well, except reading,” Kylie added with a laugh. “I love books, especially the smutty ones. But that’s not a career path.”
“Says who?”
“I… don’t know, actually. I never really thought about it.” And wasn’t that a kick in the ass?
Who knew it would only take three pointed questions to completely unravel her entire worldview?
“Hmm. It happens that I know some people we could talk to, if you decide you are interested in pursuing writing or even editing or something as a career. For now, let’s focus on the call from your mother. What happened after you got off the phone with her?”
“I just sorta spiraled, I guess. And Danny was so sweet, cuddling me and stuff while I cried about it, and then he said what I really needed was you.”
“So you came to Bozeman,” Mommy concluded, her expression a mixture of understanding and grief. “Because you needed your Mommy.”
“Yeah. But I guess we should have called you, first. I don’t really know why we didn’t.”
“That’s my fault,” Danny confessed quietly. “I was so caught up in giving Kylie what she needed, I just sorta went for it. And I figured if we got in trouble I’d take the blame and everything would be okay. I really never expected everything to go so sideways, I swear.”
“I believe you, sweet boy. And I’m proud of you for wanting to take care of your sister. However…” Mommy paused, seemingly weighing her next words carefully. “Youdiddisobey me. I understand why, but I also need to be able to trust you to make good decisions when I’m not around.”
“I get it. I’m really sorry, Mommy.”
“I know you are, baby. So you’re going to have some lines of your own to write, alongside your sister.”
Surprise flickered across Danny’s face. “You’re not going to spank me?”
“Not this time. Trust me, I considered it, especially when I saw you two drunk off your asses in that bar. But knowing you really did have the best intentions and you weren’t just disobeying me for no reason… I think the lines will suffice this time around. If it happens again, however, neither one of you will be sitting comfortably for some time. Am I understood?”
“Yes, Mommy,” they chorused together, and Kylie felt something inside her shift, settle in a way it hadn’t since she’d woken up in that hotel room in Bozeman.
“My good little loves. And for my part, I promise that next time I will give you a chance to explain, no matter how upset I am. I never want you to think I’m too angry to give you the comfort and love you need.”
Sighing happily, Kylie snuggled into her Mommy’s embrace. “And no more thinking you’re not a good enough Mommy for us?”
“I’m going to work on it, really, really hard. It’s still a little difficult for me to believe I’m worthy of not just one but twoamazing Little ones. You are everything to me, and I am going to work very hard to be the Mommy you deserve.”
“Oh, Mommy. You already are.”
Humming happily, Mommy nuzzled her nose against Kylie’s temple. “Let’s see if you still feel that way after you see what Mommy has planned for you. To the bedroom, my Little loves. I want you both naked and on the bed when I join you.”
Chapter Twenty-Six
Danny
Heart hammering wildly in his chest, he raced for the bedroom with Kylie. The second they reached the bed, their hands were on each other, tugging and tearing at clothes so they could be ready for their Mommy when she joined them.
“What do you think she’s going to do?” Kylie’s voice vibrated with excitement as she popped open the button of his jeans.
“I don’t know, but Idoknow we don’t want to keep her waiting.”
They’d gotten off way easier than they deserved after their unauthorized trip to Bozeman. He could see that, clear as day, and he was desperate to prove they deserved her mercy, that they could be her good girl and her good boy.
Starting with getting each other naked as quickly as possible.
Despite the shaking hands and excited ramblings, they managed it, and they climbed into Mommy’s large bed together to wait. Sliding an arm around Kylie’s waist, he pulled her close, his painfully hard erection pressing into her soft thigh as he dipped his head to claim her full, pouty lips.
“I love you, Ky,” he murmured against her mouth. “I’ve loved you for so fucking long and I’m so glad we’re here, together. I can’t imagine doing this with anyone but you and our Mommy.”
