“Your bubbles are gone and we were going to put your cage on, remember?” I wasn’t sure if that reminder would stress out Dean since he was already on edge, but he didn’t seem to mind it. “You need more attention.”
“Hmm…” Joel decided cute and dramatic would get him the best attention. “Yes. I do.”
So he bounced up, nearly taking another dive headfirst into the tub before catching himself. “I’m safe.”
Bullshit.
He knew that was what his Daddy wanted to say too, so he smiled at Dean as he held out his arms. “Help dry me, Daddy?”
Dean sighed but stood up and nodded. “Yes, we need to get you all dry.”
He was such a sucker.
“Thank you, Daddy.” Making exaggerated movements to brace himself on the wall and holding Dean’s arm, Joel leaned in and gave Dean a cheek kiss. “I’m your good boy.”
“Saying that over and over doesn’t make it true.” Frowning, Dean grabbed Joel’s towel as I stood up. “If you fall in the tub, you won’t get a bath…bubbles or the plain kind…for one month.”
Oh, Daddy was starting to get stern.
Joel must’ve realized he’d reached Daddy’s limit because he nodded. “Naughty boys don’t get baths.”
“They don’t get spankings either.” Chiming in to hopefully close a loophole for another fun activity, I raised one eyebrow as Joel sighed. “If you get a booboo, you won’t be healthy enough to spank.”
Joel scrunched his face up, clearly not approving of the idea, but I wasn’t sure he’d figured out a way around it yet. “Being safe is important.”
Hmm, not an agreement and definitely not pushback.
Smart cookie.
“It’s very important.” Daddy Dean had found something that he was willing to be a firm Dom about. “If you fall in the tub or hurt yourself doing something unsafe, I will make rules and I will also call your mother.”
Oh.
Joel’s eyes went wide before he pouted. “Aww, Daddy…”
“No. Looking cute will not get you out of it. You were wiggling in the tub and not being safe. I told you before when you were trying to drown that whale that you needed to sit still.”
I had a feeling that he still wasn’t happy with the whale situation. Joel needed to torment scarier things unless he wanted to drive his Daddy insane.
“Yes, Daddy.” Joel admitted defeat as Dean wrapped the towel around him and was extra careful as he stepped out of the tub.
He wasn’t ready to stop manipulating his Daddy, though. He kept up his pout as he leaned in against Dean and snuggled into Dean’s chest. “No bubbles would make me sad.”
“Having you hurt would make me even sadder.” Daddy Dean wasn’t going to let the pout derail his rules about keeping his boy safe. “How would I feel if I had to call your mother and explain you got hurt in the tub?”
Embarrassed.
Joel went with another good answer, though. “You’d be big worried.”
The adorable sigh that accompanied Joel’s response had me trying not to smile. But Joel’s Daddy was just as cute. “I would be big, big worried, so you’re going to help me be not worried.”
They were adorable.
And the fact that Dean being stern Daddy seemed to really make Joel’s dick happy made it all even better.
Joel just couldn’t help being cute because even as Dean still looked stern and slightly frustrated, he looked down his body as his Daddy stepped back. “Stop that. Daddy’s worried.”
Joel’s dick just couldn’t behave.
Dean looked confused so I decided to be helpful since I wasn’t needed for the practical bits. “He liked it when you got stern and were very serious about taking care of him.”
“Oh.” Frowning, Dean studied Joel to make sure I had it right, and when Joel nodded, his expression shifted to looking confused. “I guess I should’ve expected that response.”
That wasn’t really how Dean’s brain saw things like that and it definitely wasn’t what his dick responded to, so I wasn’t surprised he was confused.
“You’re good at taking care of me and my penis likes it too.” Shrugging, Joel was just honestly reacting that time and not trying to manipulate his Daddy. “He knows it’s cage time, though, Daddy, and he’s going to be good.”
No, he wasn’t.
Dean’s lips twitched but he didn’t call out the blatant lie. “I’m glad he’s trying to be good, and I think it’s normal for you or your penis to like it when I take care of you.”
We got to say the best stuff with Joel as our sub.
“He likes it a lot.” Joel parted his towel and frowned down at his dick again. “He likes it lots and lots. But he needs to be good and stay little and cute.”
“We’ll figure it out.” Dean didn’t seem to know how he was going to accomplish that but he made it sound reasonable. “Then we’ll get pajamas on and we’ll have fun.”
