Seth since Roman had been back, Seth had gotten in trouble again and was grounded. All because he harrassed Roman about buying a game that Roman already said no and wouldn't drop it. Now he was stuck in the hotel room or within Roman or Dean's sight. Unless he was working he was stuck. It was driving Seth crazy. He hated being grounded. Not as much as being paddled mind you but almost as much. Then there was the fact that he wasn't allowed to watch TV or play on his Ipad.

Seth sulks as Roman gets ready to go out for some reason.

Roman looks at Seth, "Stay here. No TV or computer Seth."

Seth sulks, "but... there's nothing to do."

Roman nods, "read or do something productive."

Seth crosses his arms, "Fine."

Roman grips Seth's chin and makes him look at him, "Stop with the attitude Seth."

Seth swallows but nods, "Yes Big Brother."

Roman picks up his coat, "I'll come back in an hour. Behave Seth."

Seth nods and watches Roman leave. Seth flops down and sulks full on, "damn it."

Seth paces and then fidgets around the hotel. He finally picks up his Ipad and figures that sneaking some time on the Ipad won't get him in trouble since Roman won't know.

...

Roman walks into the room and notices Seth sleeping on the bed. He looks around and notices nothing really out of place. Roman narrows his eyes though when he sees the Ipad sitting on the nightstand. Roman was pretty sure that he left that in his bag when he took it away from Seth. Roman then sits down on the bed and turns on the Ipad. He goes to the nanny program on it and raises his eyebrow noticing that Seth had signed on for 45 minutes while he was gone. Roman turns off the pad and frowns.

Seth yawns as he wakes up and then sits up, "Rome your back."

Roman looks at him, "Yes I am.. anything you want to tell me?"

Seth swallows and shakes his head, feigning innocence, "No.."

Roman raises his eyebrow, "Seth... I'm going to give you 3 seconds.. you better tell me the truth."

Seth bites his lip and whispers, "I used the Ipad."

Roman nods, "And what are the rules Seth."

Seth bites his lip and then looks at Roman, "No tv.. or computer time when I'm grounded. But Roman... there was nothing else to do."

Roman eyes Seth, "what happens when you break a rule while grounded?"

Seth rubs his arm and whispers, "I get a spanking."

Roman waits, "And?"

Seth sighs and slumps, "with the belt."

Roman nods, "How many seth."

Seth fidgets and then whines softly, "30."

Roman nods and then motions to Seth to get moving, "come on Seth, pants off."

Seth whines but stands takes off his jogging pants and boxers and throwing them on the bed. Seth whimpers but moves over when Roman gives him a hard look. Seth moves to Roman's bed and picks up the pillows. He lays then down and lays down with his hips over the pillows. The pillow elevate his bottom and provide access to the sit spot easier. Seth holds onto the bed sheets and hides face them as well. Roman takes off his belt, "Seth you know why your about to be spanked?"

Seth sniffles and pulls his head up, "because I didn't follow the rules."

Roman waits.

Seth whines, "and I lied instead of telling you when you first asked."

Roman nods and wastes no more time, raising the belt and bringing it down on Seth's bottom. Seth shrieks and then hides his face again. Roman brings down the belt again and again, leaving wide red welts on Seth's butt. Seth shrieks and kicks his feet against the bed, tears coming to his eyes. Seth screams when Roman picks up the pace and hits harder, his hand flying back to stop the blows. Roman pauses, "little boy move your hand."

Seth shakes his head and sobs, "Please no more."

Roman frowns and reaches forward and takes Seth's hand and moves it to the small of Seth's back, holding it. Seth whines softly, and Roman states, "Last warning Seth. Your hand stays there."

Seth nods sobbing harder. Roman then stands back up and taps his belt against his hand. He then raises the belt and brings it down on Seth's upper thigh and Seth sobs harder. Roman finishes landing a few more on seth's thighs and then 5 hard belts Seth's ass.

Seth sobs hard into the bed. He yelps when Roman scoops him up and holds him tightly against his chest. Seth holds onto Roman's shirt sobbing into it. Roman sits down and holds Seth in a comfortable position on his lap. Roman rubs Seth's back and when Seth calms, Roman rumbles, "I shouldn't have left you alone Seth."

Seth sniffles and rubs his face more on Roman's shirt, "I still lied and disobeyed."

Roman whispers, "I won't do it again."

Seth peeks up at Roman, "does this mean I can spank you if you do."

Roman eyes Seth, "don't even try it little boy."

Seth nods quickly and then takes Roman's hand in his, holding it tightly to his chest, "Why do you put up with me."

Roman smiles softly and tips Seth's face to his, "your my little brother. When my parents adopted you and Dean, you became my responsibility as much as their's."

Seth cuddles and whispers, "but.."

Roman frowns and shakes his head, "No more of that Seth. Your my baby brother and you are not a burden or anything of the sort. A brat yes." Seth sulks at that and roman chuckles softly, "I wouldn't have you any other way Seth."

Seth beams and then yawns softly. Roman stands him up and Seth pulls on his boxers wincing when the cloth touches his bottom. Roman then tucks him into bed and Seth drifts off.
