“Think about what got you in this situation, boy,” Tane barked. “And maybe next time you’ll think twice about your words.”
“Y-y-y-yes, Sir,” Jacob said, his voice trembling in pain and anticipation for the next volley of swats.
Tane felt a surge of adrenalin from hearing Jacob address him as Sir for the first time. But if Jacob thought that this meant hewould get let off the hook any easier, then he had another thing coming.
As far as Tane was concerned, being called Sir was simply confirmation that Jacob was ready to take things to the next level. Tane now felt that the trust and connection was there between them to truly make this a punishment that Jacob wouldn’t be forgetting in a hurry…
“Present that bottom for me,” Tane commanded, his rich voice bouncing off the walls and high ceiling in this office. “When your Daddy spanks, he expects perfect placement from his boy.”
“Yes, sir,” Jacob said, his words tumbling out of his mouth and the rapid readjustment of his legs and butt pleasing Tane immensely. “I mean Daddy. I mean, Sir.Owwwww!”
The remaining swats of the spoon were delivered with unerring accuracy and no little power either. To Jacob’s credit, he showed great discipline to stay still and take each shot like a pro.
And after bringing down the final swat, Tane immediately scooped Jacob up in his arms and carried him out of the study and into the bathroom.
“You did so well,” Tane said, setting Jacob down on the bathroom’s thick white rug. “And now it’s time that I help cool that ass of yours down. Get on all fours face your cheeks toward me.”
“Yes, sir,” Jacob replied, totally submissive and compliant with Tane’s instructions. “I don’t know why I suddenly went so bratty. It must have been the extra sugar or something. I think maybe next time I’ll stick to just one shot of espresso.”
“Hmmmm, that might be a good plan,” Tane said, a wry smile on his face as he began to daub thick dollops of cooling cream on Jacob’s throbbing behind. “Now after I get your bottom nice and cool, how about I tuck you into my bed and you can have a little nap?
“I’d like that a lot,” Jacob replied, cooing at the sensation of Tane rubbing in some cream down the crack between his cheeks. “And I likethattoo…”
Tane smiled – and he was tempted to take things further given Jacob’s response.
But the most important thing for the boy in that moment was getting into bed and taking a nap. And no matter how big the erection in Tane’s pants was getting, Tane wasn’t going to let anything stop him from doing what was best for his sassysonofagunbrat.

With Jacob sleeping in Tane’s bed, Tane leaned back in his office chair and let out a long sigh. It wasn’t a sigh of frustration or unhappiness though. No, Tane felt happy. Administering another spanking to Jacob and then seeing how Jacob recognized the benefit of it was something that made Tane feel like he had done his job right.
But the question remained… were he and Jacob destined to be together in a more concrete, permanent sense?
“Time for a whisky,” Tane said, noticing the drinks cabinet across the office.
However before Tane could even get to his feet, he saw a message ping on his cell phone. And confirming his worst fears, the message was indeed from Antonio Cardini…
ANTONIO: Tane… taking the boy under your wing, I hear? Your methods are your choice. But understand that when it comes down to it, the family expects results – and personal feelings will matter for very little if we have any difficult decisions to make. I hope I am understood.
Tane put his phone down and ran his hands through the grey hair on his temples. The last thing he wanted to deal with was another cryptic message from Antonio Cardini. But even though the message was fairly vague in many ways, what shone through loud and clear was that Antonio was keeping a very close eye on not only Jacob’s movements, but Tane’s too.
Tane didn’t especially appreciate being monitored like this. He was a private man who cherished time out of the limelight. Knowing that he was being watched by the Cardini family was far from his ideal scenario.
This can’t go on for too much longer.
I need to protect the boy.
And I need to protect myself too…
Chapter 9
Jacob
The feeling of Tane’s wooden spoon cracking on Jacob’s butt was something that Jacob wasn’t going to forget in a hurry – and that was putting it mildly.
But the way that Tane was so tender and caring afterward was enough to make Jacob want a dose of wooden spoon discipline every day. Well, almost. Either way, Jacob beginning to realize more and more that Tane was ticking all of the boxes.
Tane was firm, but he was fair too.
