Chapter 4: A Naughty Little Devil

Nick gazed at Charlie with a mixture of amusement and affection, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. "Naughty baby boy, are you ready to be good for daddy?" he asked, his voice low and husky. Charlie looked up at Nick with a mischievous glint in his eye, a smirk spreading across his face. "No," he said, his voice confident and playful. Nick's eyes widened in mock surprise, and he let out a chuckle. "You cheeky little devil," he said, shaking his head. Charlie crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes never leaving Nick's face, and Nick could see the defiance written all over him. Nick's smile grew, and he reached out to gently tug on Charlie's lower lip. "Is that so?" he said, his voice teasing. "You think you can just refuse daddy and get away with it?" Charlie shrugged, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I can try," he said, his voice dripping with attitude. Nick laughed, the sound low and husky. "Oh, I think you'll find that's not the case, naughty boy," he said, his eyes glinting with promise. "You've got a punishment to finish, and then we're going to have a little chat about obedience." Charlie's smirk faltered for a moment, before he grinned up at Nick. "I'm shaking in my boots, daddy," he said, his voice sarcastic. Nick's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to grab Charlie's wrist. "You should be," he said, his voice low and menacing. "Now, let's get back to business. We've got a spanking to finish." Charlie let out a squeak, but Nick just chuckled and pulled him back over the bed. "Time to get serious, naughty boy," he said, his voice firm but playful. As Nick's hand came down on Charlie's backside, Charlie let out a yelp, but Nick could see the excitement in his eyes. This was a game they both loved to play, and Nick was happy to be the one in control. But as the spanking continued, Nick couldn't shake the feeling that Charlie was holding back, that there was something he wasn't telling him. Nick's eyes narrowed, and he made a mental note to find out what that was, later. For now, he was going to enjoy the show.
