caressing Emma’s cheek as she found green eyes. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
Taking Dani’s hand into her own, Emma kissed it before nodding. “Tell me how you would feel if I asked Stevie to take Uncle Sean’s place.”
Dani lay back down and waited until her hair was once again being stroked by Emma. “Just spanking?”
“Yes, Dani, just spanking. There is nothing sexual for me as a bottom.”
“Do you need it a lot?”
“Not a lot,” Emma reassured her. “It varies, though. Sometimes I can go months, and sometimes more often.”
Dani was quiet for a while, but eventually looked up into Emma’s eyes. “Do you trust Stevie?”
“Yes. We’ve been friends for a long time, and I know how she handles Anna.”
“I think I trust her too,” Dani answered, thoughtfully.
“You’re okay with it, then?”
Dani shifted a bit. “Where would I be?”
“You mean, when Stevie…”
“Yeah. I don’t know if I could handle hearing or seeing…”
“Ah,” Emma nodded. “You wouldn’t anyway. It’s not your place to be there. I love you, Dani, but you have to understand, for me to get into the right headspace, it would have to be just me and Stevie.”
Dani chewed her lip for a moment. “Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Okay. I want you to be happy, Emma. So, if wishing you had a pillow to sit on makes you happy, then I’m okay with that.”
Laughing, Emma lay down next to Dani, where they soon found themselves lost in a long passionate kiss. One kiss led to another and before either of them knew it, it was once again time to experiment with soap.

It was midafternoon, the day after their fight, that Emma found herself taking a deep breath and answering the knock at her door. “Hi, Stevie, thanks for coming.”
Stevie smiled. “Anything for you, Emma. I’m just glad that I can help. I want to sit down and talk for a few minutes, before we commit to anything though.”
Nodding, Emma sat, tucking one leg under her, before addressing Stevie. “So, talk.”
Stevie laughed before taking on a serious tone. “Are you sure about this, Emma? Because once we start, I’m in charge, and we don’t stop unless I hear your safeword.”
Emma took another deep breath. “I’m sure. I need this, Stevie. It’s like I told you earlier, between Uncle Sean’s death, Dani, and this thing with Patrick Sampson, everything has just been building and I need a little me time right now.”
Stevie nodded and patted her friend’s hand. “I don’t quite understand how getting your ass tanned is considered ‘me time,’ but I understand you need this and I’m willing to do it for you. So is this going to be a onetime or a regular thing?”
Emma blushed slightly. “I was thinking maybe once a month, at least for a while. I think something regular will help with the balance. That is, if you were okay with that?”
“I’m fine with that. Although you need to talk to me; if you need it more or less often, we will adjust. For now, let’s say the third Wednesday of every month?”
“I think that can be arranged,” Emma agreed.
“Great.” Running her hands through her curls, Stevie looked around the apartment. “So the brats are busy for the next hour or so downstairs, right?”
Emma chuckled. “Yes, I put them both on shift with Jason and let them all know that we were not to be disturbed unless the place was on fire.”
“What’s your safeword, Emma?”
“Avalon.”
“Toys?”
“There is a box on the dresser, and a few other things I laid out on the bed. All at your discretion, of course.”
“Of course.” Stevie shook her head and smirked. “Alright, young lady, you need to go to your bedroom, get into your pajamas, and settle into the corner. When you’re ready to begin, you are to come and get me.”
Emma gulped. “Come on, Stevie…”
Stevie’s brown eyes cut Emma off quickly. “This is not up for debate, Emma Renee. Move it,” she commanded,
Taking Dani’s hand into her own, Emma kissed it before nodding. “Tell me how you would feel if I asked Stevie to take Uncle Sean’s place.”
Dani lay back down and waited until her hair was once again being stroked by Emma. “Just spanking?”
