Onyx pursed his lips. “I need you to help me calm down.Can you help me? Please?” He added the last word so quietly it was almost inaudible.

Nico stroked Onyx’s cheek. “Good boy.”

Onyx’s eyes fluttered closed, and some of the tension seemed to flee his rigid stance.

Nico released Onyx and cleared his throat. “Take off your clothes and bend over the couch.”

Onyx’s face flamed, even his forehead turned red, but he quietly complied. Shedding his jeans and underwear, he stepped toward the couch.

“Over the arm.” Nico guided him to the right spot and Onyx bent over, offering up his bare ass.

He was beautiful naked. Nico couldn’t believe he was getting to see this. Onyx arched his back, tattooed skin on full display. He folded his arms on the couch cushion and buried his face in them, then spread his legs.

Nico approached. The dark hair on Onyx’s legs turned lighter on his thighs, and he either waxed or groomed with magic because his ass and balls were bare.

A shiver rocked Onyx’s body, but he stayed quiet, the silence unsettling. Onyx should be goading Nico into hurrying up. He should be complaining, reminding Nico he could get someone else to satisfy him if Nico didn’t get on with it.

Something had changed. Nico had no idea what, but he wouldn’t let Onyx down. If this was how he wanted to be comforted, then they were a perfect match.

“I’m going to spank you for bursting in here and yelling at me. Unless you’re ready to tell me what’s really going on.”

“There’s nothing to say.” Onyx’s voice came out muffled, face wedged into the crook of his arm.

“All right. If that’s how it’s going to be.” Nico brought his palm down on Onyx’s ass with a satisfying crack.

Onyx tensed beneath him, jolting forward. Nico cast thespell to counteract as much of Onyx’s healing as he could and smacked him again.

Onyx tensed further.

“Relax, or this is only going to hurt more.”

Onyx turned his head to the side and glared over his shoulder. “You don’t think I know that?”

Nico smiled and smacked him again, heart thudding as Onyx’s eyelids fluttered. “You want this to hurt? You want me to force you to relax?”

Onyx muttered something incoherent.

Nico smack him three times in a row, his palm tingling, and his cock strained against his jeans. Onyx took each hit without a sound, his body seeming to tense further with each blow.

“You can let go.” Nico smacked Onyx harder. “It’s okay. It’s all right to be scared or upset. It’s okay to come to me. But you can’t show up and lie.”

Each statement was marked with a slap. Onyx’s ass bloomed pink and Nico swore the tattoo of his tail quivered.

“Are you ready to tell me what this is about?”

“No.” Onyx reburied his face in his arms.

“Okay.” Nico gripped an ass cheek in each hand and spread Onyx wide, exposing his pink hole. Onyx’s pucker clenched, and Nico bit his lip.

He wanted inside this perfect ass, but Onyx was so tense he had to be about to snap, and that wasn’t how Nico wanted him. There needed to be no resistance left, no more fight, only Onyx’s true desires laid bare.

Nico let go and spanked Onyx, setting a punishing rhythm. Nico’s palm burned as Onyx’s ass reddened. It didn’t matter. All Nico cared about was seeing Onyx’s muscles go lax, his shoulders unbunch, his knees go weak until he stopped bracing against Nico’s blows, his toes curled in the carpet.

“That’s it,” Nico praised, not letting up, sweat dampeninghis brow. “Relax. Let it burn. This is what you needed. You have to remember it’s okay to tell me that. You can tell me anything. I’m here for you. You don’t have to lie.”

Onyx whimpered. “Nico, please.”

Nico rubbed Onyx’s lower back. “Please, what? Are you ready to talk to me?”
