“It might come up again,” she said.
“No, it won’t.”
“How do you know?” she asked.
“Because I said so.”
Aimee rolled her eyes at him. “And everyone just does as you say, right?”
“Now, you’re starting to get it,” he told her.
He forked up another bit of steak and held it up to her mouth. She took it, chewing slowly.
“And, just so you know, there will be more of everything once you’re feeling a hundred percent,” he promised her.
“I am more recovered,” she said.
“Oh, you are, are you?”
“For sex, not for spankings. I’m definitely not well enough for a spanking. No.”
“And when do you think you will be well enough?” he asked her.
“Mm, I don’t know. I think it could take a while.”
“Hmm. Do you have some sort of timeframe?”
“Yeah, I’m kind of thinking in five to ten years.”
He shook his head, letting out a burst of laughter. “You’re dreaming, baby. I’ll give you another few days.”
“A few days,” she cried.
“A few days. And then you’re going over my lap to get all the spankings that you’re owed.”
“Well, that doesn’t seem very nice,” she told him.
“But necessary,” he replied. “Because you need to learn to follow the rules that I give you.”
“You give me so many, though, and it’s hard to keep track.”
“Oh, you should have said something. I can help you keep track of all the rules. Let’s finish eating, and then we’ll sit down and work through them.”
“I feel like I should have thought before I spoke.”
“You should always think before you speak, baby.”
Aimee managed to eat half the plate of food, which she thought was pretty good. Ammo didn’t seem to feel the same though.
He frowned as he stared down at her plate. “Really? That’s all you’re going to eat?”
“Hey, I thought I made a magnificent effort. Now you’re just downing on my vibe.”
“I’m downing on your vibe?” he repeated the words slowly. “Is that even English?”
“Oh, Daddy, you’re just too old to keep up with the lingo.”
She froze. Had she really just called him Daddy? And it felt right, didn’t it? In fact, she couldn’t believe how right it felt.
