Hudson bounced her on his knee. She laughed and set her hands on his shoulders to steady herself.
“You can go if you’re feeling uncomfortable. You know you can always opt out and it’s not a big deal.”
Yeah, she knew, although she rarely did and she wasn’t going to do it for this.
“I’ll be okay.”
“Good. I think you’ll have fun. You maybe want a spanking first to clear your head and loosen you up?”
The very suggestion made the vise around her ribs loosen. Yes, she did want that, very much, and she knew it would help. It always did. Same way having Hudson brush out her hair and put it in pigtails or braids calmed her, though that had been wrecked when Jethro walked in, even before she knew it was him.
She had a standing fortnightly session with Hudson but when work was overwhelming he’d squeeze her in for an extra here and there so she could mellow out at least a little. It wasn’t always a spanking but that was definitely her go-to.
“Yes, please, sir.”
“What good manners you have,” Hudson praised as he used his hands on her waist to lift her to stand, and then swatted her bottom as he directed, “Now go lock the door so we aren’t interrupted again.”
