“How are you feeling, sweet girl?”
Hailey snuggled deeper against him. “Amazing. Was it just me, or was that special?”
She was right. It had been special, but Hal found himself reluctant to second heramazing.
“It was wonderful, perfect.”
Hal stood with Hailey in his arms and carried her over to the couch. “Wait here, I’m going to grab you some items for aftercare.”
Hailey crinkled her brow, confirming what Hal had suspected earlier. She was completely new to the lifestyle. Hal grabbed a fresh bottle of water from his fridge along with a few squares of chocolate.
“Drink.” He uncapped the bottle and handed it to her.
Hailey chugged down half of the bottle.
“Eat.” He handed her a square of chocolate, then another.
“Better?”
Hailey giggled; “This was already amazing, and being fed chocolate by a man is a first. All of this,” she waved her hand around as if that explained the entirety of their time together. “Is that what you meant by aftercare?”
Hal handed her the water again. “It is. With now being your first time being spanked. Or was it?”
Hailey nodded vigorously, then seemed to remember she needed to use her words.
“Yes. It was my first time, and it was just like my dream.”
She intrigued Hal with her dream of being spanked. Subconsciously, this could be what Hailey had been seeking from him.
“Yes. Well, your blood pressure drops, and you can feel spacey and out of sorts. It is my job to make sure you don’t experience sub-drop. That is why I gave you water and sugar. It helps recalibrate your blood sugar and hormones.”
“Mmm, I see. Thank you for explaining.” She wasn’t really hearing him and was still a bit spaced out. Watching her body for signs, Hal was happy a few minutes later when the glassiness in her eyes disappeared and went back to normal. Impact play, sex, edging, these actions were exhausting on their own, doubly so for a first-timer like Hailey. Hal decided he should take Hailey home so she could nap.
“When you’re ready, I will drive you home to nap. We can postpone your interview until tomorrow.”
He thought he was doing her a favor, but she suddenly straightened, alarm written in her movements.
“But—Um. Please let’s do it today. Now!”
Hal sensed she was holding back again and rushing her out the door, even with her best interests at heart, was not the right thing to do.
He rose off the couch and buzzed the front desk. “Amber, please cancel all my appointments today. I would like lunch for two sent to my office, burgers, fries, and chocolate pie. Yes, thank you, and two coffees, one black, and the other with one cream and two sugars.”
Hal came back to the couch and sat next to Hailey, whose eyes were wide. “How did you know how I like my coffee?”
Hal chuckled. “I’m very observant.”
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Hal Left Hailey where she was and disappeared around the corner to retrieve the beverages. He placed the tray on the table and grabbed some more chocolate for her, breaking off pieces and feeding them to her in between her taking sips of coffee.
“Mmm. Good coffee. Thank you for taking such good care of me.”
“Okay brat, we’re doing as you requested, and now it’s your turn. I want full disclosure, no holding back, understand?”
Hailey gulped before agreeing to his terms.
“Good whenever you’re ready.”
