My left wrist hurt. It hurt so much that I could barely breathe, but maybe that was coupled with the fact that I had come down with a cold.

When I had awakened about ten minutes earlier, Angel was taking care of me and Russet was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't talk that second, but Angel understood what I'd wanted to ask.

"He's outside your room, huddled into himself. He won't move no matter what. He blames himself for hurting you, and he thinks that you'll hate him because of it."

"But who went to get you?" I rasped, panting softly.

"Russet," murmured Angel, as he cupped my cheek. "He was crying and scared out of his mind, but he approached me and fell to his knees to ask for help despite the fear."

"That's good." I mumbled, then coughed when my breath was blocked by something in my throat. "Ugh, it hurts."

"Your wrist is fractured too, by the way."

I grunted. "I guessed that. Should I go see Daddy for healing?"

Angel petted my damp silvery-heather waves. "He's coming. He just had to deal with a few things from the Draconia Clan."

"Mm, okay." I sighed, then leaned into his touch. "Did I scare you again, Ange? I'm sorry."

Angel paused, then leaned down and pecked my cheek, keeping his horn away from the bed. "It was worrying, but I knew you would be okay. How did you get sick?"

"Matteo has a cold and I stayed with him for awhile. I think that's how I got infected."

Angel silently nodded, just petting my cheeks and staring into my eyes. "I love you." he whispered, gently petting my face.

"I love you too, Ange." I beamed, and he chuckled.

He gave me a small peck on the lips, then moved back. "Alexandre is coming. I'll be outside with Russet. Do you want me to tell him anything?"

"I think you know what I want to say, Angel."

He winked as he walked backwards to the door. "You bet, sweetheart. Have fun with your daddy."

I blushed, wondering what that was about. Daddy came in moments after Angel left, and he shut the door and locked it with the use of magic. He strode over and stopped at the edge of my bed. He had a troubled expression on his face as he looked down at my form wracked with pain and rough coughs.

"Baby, I heard part of the story. What led up to this?" he asked, cupping my face.

A cooling sensation flooded into my body and suddenly I could breathe better. "I'm sorry, Daddy. I deserved this. I was being a bad boy." I whimpered, tears rising to my eyes.

Daddy removed his shoes and climbed over me onto the bed. He slid underneath the covers and changed into his pajamas using magic, then tugged my weak form into his lap. He supported my upper body with one arm, gently petting my face and head.

"What did you do, baby?"

"I told Russet that I would return the dishes to the kitchen and visit someone else under my care, and asked him if he'd be all right in my room. I should have told everyone not to go in my room, because sometime after I went to sleep on Matteo's bed, I heard a scream."

Daddy kept rocking me, kissing my head. "And?"

"I knew it was Russet. Waltz had jumped on my bed, thinking it was me who was asleep under the covers. I climbed onto the bed and tried to calm him down, but he bit my wrist. I asked Walt to leave, and I managed to get Russet to come out of his instincts, but he bit down harder when I slipped in my blood and fell sideways. I deserve to be in this pain. I shouldn't have left him alone. I should have told everyone to stay away. I'm so sorry, Daddy." I sobbed, and Daddy kept petting my cheeks.

"Ssh, baby... It's all right."

"No, it's not. I hurt him, and I made both Waltz and Angel feel bad. I'm the worst!" I wailed, but it ended with a small hiccup when Daddy lightly slapped my butt.

He stared into my eyes, his honey-gold ones burning intensely. Silent tears rolled down my cheeks and I sniffled, still crying as I closed my eyes and hid my face on his chest. Daddy peeled my face away and set me upright against him, so I tucked my face into his neck and clung to him. He rubbed my back in soothing circles, and I hiccuped a few times while I tried to calm down.

"Anwyll, you didn't know that Waltz was going to come in while you weren't there. You didn't know that Matteo would have a cold and that he'd ask you to stay with him to help him get to sleep. You're not the worst, baby. You're just doing the best you can do. You can't know everything that may or may not happen, Anwyll. You're a good boy, but I think you should focus on Russet for the next week. I will inform Matteo and assign someone else to him for now. He will understand."

"Mm, okay, Daddy." I mumbled, squeezing his neck. "Please tell him I'm sorry."

Daddy kissed my head. "I will, baby. You'll be back with him in no time."

I wiped my eyes and sniffled, but there was nothing. I sat back and moved my wrist around in amazement. Daddy chuckled at my awed expression and pecked my lips.

"Now that you're healed, baby, shall we have some fun?" he smirked, and I blushed.

"Y-yes, please." I whispered, and Daddy kissed me while he removed my clothes.

I blushed when I was presented Daddy's cock to lubricate. He groaned when I shuffled down his legs and began to lick his full length, smearing it with my saliva. Daddy hissed when I sucked on his cap and slid my tongue around it.

"That's it, baby. Just like that." he murmured, guiding my head to take him deeper.

My cheeks bulged and I hollowed them as I sucked on a quarter of his length. I pulled off to suck on the sides, making sure to lick everywhere I could reach. Daddy was staring at me hungrily, and I wondered if he wanted me to do it again. I sucked on my pinky finger and sat up, then poked his slit.

Daddy shuddered with a low groan. "Oh shit, baby..."

I was startled. I had never heard him swear like that before. I pushed my finger all the way in and Daddy's shocked moan made my body hot. I thrust my finger in, making his own body tremble as he held onto me.

"Baby," he panted, and I leaned down to lick him again. "Aah, baby, please..."

"Daddy, I'll put it in, okay?"

Daddy swallowed when I slowly removed my finger and aimed his cock for my hole. I reached back there and thrust a couple fingers in, but I knew it'd hurt a bit. I wanted it, though. I wanted my daddy inside me.

I held his cock firmly and sat down. Daddy grunted and I whined when it slipped away. Daddy reached underneath me and pressed a finger in.

"It won't fit with you that tight, baby."

I pouted. "Couldn't you use magic to get it in?"

He smirked. "Oh, you are just so eager to have Daddy's huge cock in your tiny hole, aren't you?"

I blushed and nodded. "Yes, Daddy. I want you inside me right n—aah!"

Daddy thrust up and buried his cock inside my body. I gasped, my sudden breathlessness making me feel weak. He rubbed my back and tail base, and I clamped down on him. Daddy grunted, but as he stroked my cock with one finger I began to relax.

"There you go, baby. Just breathe." he coaxed, and my body felt hot as I panted. "Oh, here we go. Are you feeling hot and itchy again, baby?"

"Mmhm, Daddy." I moaned, wriggling on his cock. My tail curled and twitched, so Daddy grasped it and held it to my side as he guided my hips to move me. I rested my hands on his shoulders and bucked his hips.

"Kiss me, baby." he whispered, and I pressed my lips to his own, licking his tongue while I rode his cock. I hugged his neck while I moaned, mewled, and whimpered.

"D-Daddy, I'm c-close..." I gasped, my hips moving jerkily.

"I know, baby. I'm almost there, too." he murmured, steadying my hips to thrust deeply.

A choked gasp escaped me, and I whimpered as he took care of my needs. Daddy made me come again thirty seconds later just as I felt him unload inside me. I gasped and shuddered, feeling his seed leak out and onto his mound. Daddy sighed softly and kissed my lips again, then kissed away my silent tears.

"I love you, baby." he said, hugging me tightly.

"I love you too, Daddy." I hugged him back. "Thank you for the treat."

He smiled. "Waltz, again..." he playfully groaned, and I giggled in response.

"Let's clean you up, baby, and then you can talk to Russet and Waltz."

"Mm, okay. Thank you, Daddy."

He merely chuckled in response.

"See you later, Daddy." I waved, and he chuckled as he left.

I had been bathed, dried, and clothed by Daddy before being tucked in again. He knew I was tired from the reconnection.

A few minutes later, Russet peered inside. He couldn't look at my face, but he heard me pat the bed.

"C'mon, Russ. It's okay. Daddy healed me. I'm just tired now."

Russet shuffled forward, his eyes cast to the floor. "A-are you mad at me?"

"No," I stated, and watched his head snap up. He winced and I got out of bed to see if he was okay, but he moved away from me. My heart hurt. "Russ, please, are you okay? Let me see."

His eyelashes were damp with tears as I moved closer, and I could see more were gathering. "I hurt you, Anwyll. I should be beaten. You're so kind, sweet, and caring to me. You're the first to tell me that I am loved. You're the first one to hold me, bathe me, and be kind to me. You even gave me a name. And in return, I bit you and made you bleed. I fractured your wrist in thanks for all the kindness I received. I am the worst." he whimpered as he began to cry, and I gently wrapped my arms around him.

He flinched and tried to get out of my embrace without hurting me, but eventually gave up.

"This isn't your fault, Russ. It's mine." I said softly, letting go of him to grasp his bony hands. "I should have warned everyone to stay out of my room for awhile, but I didn't do that and you got scared. I'm so sorry."

Russet stared into my eyes, his own ones reddened from crying. He bit his lip. "I'm the one who should be saying that, Anwyll! I hurt you!" he whimpered, and I led him to my bed to sit down.

"Ssh, Russ, stop that. Come, climb into bed with me."

Russet bit his bottom lip again, but climbed in next to me when I lifted the blankets. When he sat down, I patted my lap. He frowned, but laid down on his stomach and put his head in my lap. I pushed my fingers through his hair, and he shivered, but snuggled closer.

"Russet, listen to me. Don't blame yourself. Your instincts were in control because you were scared. I don't blame you, and I am not mad at you. My feelings haven't changed."

I watched the bedding move down by his butt and I held in my giggle when I realized it was his tail wiggling happily.

"You don't deserve to be beaten, Russet. All you need to do is apologize. Our home is going to be a huge change for you, but it's a good one. It will take some time to get used to, and there are some people who may scare you, but they'd never hurt you on purpose."

Russet sighed. "Okay." he murmured, pressing his face into my tummy. He breathed deeply and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Anwyll. I'm sorry for hurting you. I didn't mean to."

"I know, Russ. I forgive you." I said, petting one of his lop ears. He didn't react except to smile and snuggle closer. "Sleep for awhile, Russ. This time, I will be with you when you awaken."

He sighed and relaxed, and within a few minutes he was asleep on my lap. Waltz came in a moment later and quietly hurried to my bedside. He stared solemnly at our lop-eared family member.

"I really am sorry, Annie."

I shook my head and pushed my lips out. Waltz grinned and pecked my lips.

"I forgive you, Alt. Let's wait until Russet wakes up so you can apologize to him."

"Mm, okay." he mumbled, then kissed my lips again. "Do you mind if I hang out for awhile?"

"Of course not. Sit next to me, Alt, and we can cuddle."

Waltz carefully climbed on the bed and tucked me into his side. I rested my head on his shoulder, sighing with happiness. I grasped Waltz's right hand with my left hand and firmly locked our fingers together. He smiled and kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Waltz."

"I love you too, Annie."
