having a chat with your hiney?”
    “Because I was a little bit naughty.”
    “And how were you naughty, Lily?” Shelby’s hand began to slowly pat Lily’s bottom.
    “I got into the cookies even though I’m not supposed to climb for them or eat them unless you say it’s okay.”
    A painful swat made Lily yelp once more, “You’re closer, but not quite there, Lily.” Shelby lowered her hand four more times to each cheek and rubbed the sting out of Lily’s bottom for a few seconds. “Try one more time.”
    Lily sniffed and finally spoke, “I got into the cookies and that’s not allowed at all.”
    “Good girl.” Shelby took a breath and spoke again. “I hope this conversation with your hiney helps you to remember not to get into the cookies anymore.” With that Shelby brought her hand down again in a steady rhythm.
    Shelby watched as Lily’s bottom turned from white to light pink to dark pink as Lily began to wiggle and cry over her lap. “Mama please, I promise I’ll never take the cookies again.” Lily cried.
    “I hope not,” Shelby respond adding four zingers to Lily’s sit spot, so named because her hands actually stung when she was finished giving them. Rubbing Lily’s bottom gently Shelby allowed her crying to lessen before pulling the t-shirt down to cover the now hot pink bottom in front of her.
    Helping Lily up Shelby held her in her lap and rubbed Lily’s back as Lily leaned into her, “I love you, Mama.”
    “I love you too, baby.” Shifting slightly Shelby helped Lily get comfortable in her bed. “I’ll be right back.”
    Nodding sleepily, Lily accepted Albie and her pink pig when Shelby returned with a yawn. “Thank you, Mama.”
    “You’re welcome, baby. Have a nice nap and I’ll see you when you wake up.”

    Shelby was curled up on the couch nursing her third cup of coffee and studying a book proposal her agent had sent over when she heard the shuffling of feet. Looking up she smiled at the still sleepy-looking Lily.
    “Feel better?”
    Lily nodded and shuffled into the kitchen before re-emerging with a large mug of coffee. Placing it on the coffee table she sat next to Shelby and curled into her before bringing the mug to her lips. “Bliss.”
    Shelby chuckled. “I’m glad it takes so little to make you happy.”
    “Coffee is a wonderful thing, Shelby.”
    “It is,” Shelby agreed.
    “What are we going to do today?” Lily asked putting her mug back on the table and leaning once more into Shelby.
    “I think we need to talk about a few things and I thought maybe we could do some other grown up things,” Shelby teased bending down and kissing Lily gently.
    Eyes sparkling with mischief, Lily shifted and kissed Shelby deeply. Their tongues battled for dominance and only the need for air caused them to separate.
    “Wow,” Shelby grinned. “You are very talented.”
    “So are you,” Lily quipped. “So do you want to talk first or”—Lily moved to straddle Shelby’s lap and leaned down to put her mouth close to Shelby’s ear—“play first?”
    Shelby captured Lily’s mouth with hers again and allowed her hands to wander under Lily’s t-shirt. Not surprised to find Lily hadn’t put on panties yet, Shelby cupped Lily’s bottom and pulled her even closer to her.
    Shelby put her hands on the hem of Lily’s t-shirt and moved it upward. She only broke their kiss for a moment when she removed the shirt completely and tossed it on the floor. Looking up at the now naked perfection perched over her Shelby licked her lips, “Perfect.”
    Her hands moved to Lily’s breasts and flicked the younger woman’s nipples. Moving so she could capture a nipple in her mouth, Shelby nipped a bit before using her tongue, causing Lily to moan as it pebbled into a hard nub.
    “You have on way too many clothes,” Lily gasped.
    “Do I?” Shelby leaned back and raised an eyebrow. “What do you suggest we do about that?”
    Lying flush on her lover Lily brought her
