What He Needs

"Do you know what happens when you misbehave?" Lucius asked, stroking the globes of Harry's bum with a soft hand.

"Yes Sir," Harry replied, pressing his face into the silk sheets beneath him. He was lay across Lucius' lap, his trousers pulled down just enough to reveal his bum and bind his thighs, and he was waiting for the axe—or the palm—to fall.

"Tell me," Lucius demanded, voice husky and deep.

"You'll punish me, Sir," Harry whimpered. Why wasn't Lucius just doing it? Harry was waiting for it, was prepared as well as he could be.

"That's right," Lucius agreed. "If you know the rules, why do you insist on being naughty, Harry. Such a bad boy sometimes."

Harry groaned into the sheet, because he was bad, he really was, and he did it on purpose because he liked the punishments.

He felt Lucius' hand raise of his bum, and braced himself, feeling the first sharp spank on his left cheek.

"One," he whimpered, knowing he had to count them outloud or they didn't count. "Thank you, Sir."

…

Harry curled up on Lucius' lap, a soft robe draped over him, one of Lucius' hands rubbing at his spine while the other hand fed him from a platter of fruit one of the house-elves had silently popped into the room.

Harry felt hazy, but in the best way, as Lucius took care of his every need.

His bum stung every time he shifted, but it was a good ache, not painful per say, just a reminder that he was owned, that he belonged to Lucius, and that he should be a good boy.

"Hmm, my good boy," Lucius murmured, caressing Harry's cheek as he ate a grape. "You took your punishment so well, sweetheart."

Harry snuggled closer, smiling as Lucius pressed another grape to his lips. He'd come around fully soon, he knew, but for now, he'd enjoy the haze, and he'd enjoy being taken care of.

Lucius always knew exactly what he needed.
