Sailor took a deep breath and nodded. The men lying on his body climbed off one by one until only the one lying across his shoulders remained.
“Everyone, turn around right now,” Lonergan looked away for a moment before turning back to look him in the eyes. “Shift. Now, Sailor.”
Sailor closed his eyes and allowed the shift to happen. As soon as he felt himself back in his human form, the man on his back rose, and he could sit up. He reached into his messenger bag and pulled out his clothes. Tugging on his sweatpants, he stood up.
Before he could drop the bag and pull on his t-shirt, Lily was wrapping her arms around him. “Papa! I missed you!”
He pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. “I missed you too, little flower. Let’s go home so I can show you how much.”
Lily nodded against his bare chest and climbed his body to wrap her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. “Go home now.”
Lonergan patted his back. “I’ll have Chef send food over in an hour or two.”
Sailor nodded and turned and carried his mate away without another word.
CHAPTER 13
“How was your day at work?” Lily asked as Sailor carried her into the dormitory building.
“Long and lonely,” Sailor replied as they ascended the stairs to their apartment. At their door, he reached for his messenger bag. “Damn, where are the keys?”
“In your red bag,” Lily said as she reached into her jeans pocket and pulled out a keyring and held it up to his face. “Good thing I asked Jaxon for this.”
Sailor looked from her eyes to the keyring and back into her eyes. “I told you that you didn’t need a key. But I’ll concede that maybe you did a good thing getting one.”
He set her down, taking the key from her. Opening the door, he ushered her inside with a hard swat to her ass.
“Ouch! Papa, that wasn’t nice. If I didn’t have a key, you’d have to go find your red bag, and we’d still be outside in the hall not getting naked,” Lily said as she toed off her sneakers then danced her way across the main room, dropping her t-shirt and bra as she went. She left her jeans just outside the bedroom door and her panties halfway between the door and the bed.
She was in a strange mindset and wasn’t sure which way she wanted it to flip. Her Little was currently in full control as shedanced naked around the bedroom. At the same time, her pussy was growing damper by the second, her nipples beaded tight, and she really, really wanted Sailor to toss her on the bed and fuck her until neither of them could walk straight.
Sailor finally joined her, still dressed in the knit athletic pants he’d pulled on at the park. Even though the front bulged out in a nearly obscene manner, he did not look happy.
Turning one last circle, Lily danced her way to stand in front of him. “Papa? Why do you still have your pants on?”
She reached for the waistband, but before she could shove the pants down over his hips, he grabbed her hands and pulled them away from his body.
“I’m not naked because we need to talk about your naughtiness before anything else happens.”
Lily froze and looked up at her Papa in confusion. “My naughtiness? I was good all day, Papa. Well except for jumping into that mud puddle with Hollister, but Sullivan laughed at us, and I didn’t get too dirty. And I ate all my vegetables at lunch without arguing or anything.”
When Sailor chuckled, she reached or his waistband again. This time, he spun her around, wrapped his hands around her wrists, and walked her to the bed. At the side, he bent her forward until her upper body rested on the mattress, and her feet were still on the floor. A large hand between her shoulder blades held her in place.
“Why are you getting a spanking, Lily?” he asked in his deep authoritative voice, which sent a shiver of dread through her.
Without giving it too much thought, she answered flippantly, “Because my Papa is an old meanie-head who thinks I’m a baby who can’t be ’sponsible for carrying a key.”
She cried out when Sailor’s free hand came down hard on her ass several times before he stopped and rubbed the heat into her skin.
“Want to try answering again? Only this time without the bratty attitude and calling me names?”
Lily blinked and took a deep breath. “I was naughty because I got a key from Jaxon when you didn’t want me to have one.”
His softly spoken “Good girl” sent another shiver through her.
That happiness lasted until Sailor began spanking her again. He alternated asscheeks, spreading the spanks around so that by the time he finished, her entire bottom, from top to her sit-spots, was painfully hot.
She wasn’t sure when her tears started, but she was sobbing by the time he finished the punishment. She did not fight him when he picked her up and set her down in the center of the bed. A moment later, the bed sank when he joined her.
