.:Author's Note:.

Basic understanding of Liam's room at the top.

***

Blake's POV:

I didn't really like dogs.

I was basically an overgrown cat so my dislike for them was pretty self-explanatory. However, I knew that Liam would enjoy playing with one, and I just wanted to make him happy. Seeing him petting Maximilian and the utter joy on his face filled me with a sense of pride. Good job, Blake. I thought, mentally patting myself on the back.

"Blake, come see Maxie." Liam demanded cutely, and I just couldn't say no to him. I took cautious steps towards the lamb, not wanting to scare the pup in his lap. Maxie (can't believe I'm using the nickname) stopped licking Liam's fingers to growl at me. It was adorable coming from the Dalmatian pup, but I still stopped moving so that he wouldn't jump away from Liam.

"I don't think he likes me very much." I joked although the pup was keeping me away from sitting beside Liam. Instead, I sat on the floor, leaning my back against the wall. When Maxie noticed that I wasn't going to try and get closer to them, he went back to licking Liam's hand.

"Nonsense." Liam stated with an adorable laugh. "He'll just have to get used to you."

"It's a good thing we'll be coming back tomorrow then." I told him, causing him to gasp in shock. A large grin broke out onto his face as he crawled over to me, being mindful of the pup in his hand. I froze in shock as he kissed my lips with pure glee. He seemed to realize what he had done seconds later because he pulled away with a blush and shy eyes.

"I-I'm sorry! I was e-excited." He mumbled as he rubbed Maxie down. I grinned before pulling his face close and kissing him once again.

"Don't apologize. You can kiss me as much as you'd like." I whispered against his lips, enjoying the way he shuddered at my voice. He sat beside me with even redder cheeks, putting Maximilian into my lap. The pup whimpered before sniffing my chest. I resisted the urge to roar lowly at him and allowed him to familiarize himself with me.

In a way, Maxie reminded me of Liam, so timid and shy, gentle, and just all-around adorable. Already, I knew that I was going to like him.

"Wow, that's never happened before." Bailey said in shock as Maximilian followed behind Liam as we headed for the exit. It was almost closing time and we figured we'd leave a little early so that the workers could get each dog to bed. Liam smiled at Bailey as Maximilian's tail wagged excitedly. He stooped down to scratch behind the dog's ears and kissed his head.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Maxie!" He declared. The dog yipped in response before licking Liam's face, causing the lamb to giggle. Bailey's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets as she watched the two. I laughed when she raised an eyebrow at me since they were now in their own world.

"He has that effect." I said with a shrug, referring to Liam's nature.

"Maybe he can adopt Maximilian." She voiced with a small smile, looking at the two again. "Surely there won't be anyone else who can get him up and moving like that."

Instead of responding to her, I looked at Liam and Maxie again. Liam was now standing up, looking like he was seconds away from crying.

"C-can I just take Maxie home with me, Blake?" He asked with wet eyes, looking into the depths of my soul. My gaze softened and I could already tell that I was going to give in. However, my phone ringing snapped me out of my trance. I raised a finger before quickly grabbing the device from my pocket.

"This is Blake." I answered, forgetting to check the ID.

"Hi, Blake. Jerald and I just got home and we noticed that you nor Liam are here." Angela's voice replied.

"Hi, Angela." I responded, catching Liam's attention. He no longer looked like he would cry, but he still looked sad. "Liam and I are just at the dog shelter in town. I'll be bringing him home soon."

"Oh, how wonderful! Okay, well I'll see you guys in a few then?"

"Yes, we'll be there in probably twenty minutes."

"Okay, give Liam a kiss for me." She said before hanging up. I laughed as I pocketed my phone and wrapped an arm around Liam's waist.

"It's time to go, love."

"Are we taking Maxie with us?"

"No, but you'll get to see him tomorrow." I promised although it didn't stop him from pouting.

"We'll make sure to take extra care of Maximilian for your arrival tomorrow." Bailey helped me out.

In the end, it still took five minutes before Liam was even remotely okay with leaving the dog behind. The drive to Liam's house was made in a comfortable silence. It wasn't even ten minutes since we got into the car before Liam was snoring. I had to carry him once we arrived (which I'm not complaining about) and knock the door by kicking it slightly.

"Oh, my baby." Angela said with a chuckle as she opened the door. I laughed as she stepped aside so that I could enter with the sleeping Liam in my arms. I patiently waited at the bottom of the foyer steps, not wanting to head to the second floor of their home without permission. Angela closed the door before walking up said steps, silently telling me to follow her with a wave of her hand.

"You can just put him in his bed."

Liam's room was of average size with a large white bed against the wall and a desk across from it. There was a lamp, laptop, and TV on the desk, along with pictures of him and his parents. There was also a computer chair pushed to the side of it. After placing Liam into his comfy looking bed, I admired the rest of the room.

In the far left of the room was a door that I assumed was his closet. There was only one window to the right of the bed that led to the roof of the house. There was also a single vent for the central air and many more pictures hung around. I could definitely say the room screamed "Liam."

I switched off the light as Angela and I left the room and headed back downstairs.

"How was he today?" Jerald asked, appearing out of nowhere as Angela and I made it to the bottom of the steps.

"He had a panic attack before we left to go to the dog shelter, but after that, he was okay. He didn't even want to leave the shelter and he made a new friend. I think you guys should get him a dog." I said with ease, strolling down memory lane.

"We are." Angela replied as her husband wrapped a loving arm around her shoulders. "It's going to be a surprise for his birthday in two months."

"That's great! I guess it helps that he found the perfect dog for himself today. It's a Dalmatian puppy named Maximilian."

"You think we can talk to the owner of the shelter to keep him on hold until Liam's birthday?" Jerald questioned thoughtfully, making me nod.

"Definitely. Maxie, as Liam calls him, has social anxiety and today was the first day he ever interacted with another person willingly. Bailey, that's the owner, was practically giving him to us today, and Liam almost convinced me to take him. Your phone called saved me, Angela."

They chuckled as they shook their heads, leading me towards the door. With a longing glance up the stairs, I exited the Nelsons' residence.

"See you bright and early tomorrow, Blake!" Angela said, surprising me with a hug. I hugged her back before pulling away to wave at Jerald.

"Bright and early. You two have a great night."

"Same to you! Drive safely."

"You're home late tonight." Dimi's voice sounded just as I closed our apartment door. I glanced up to see that he was sitting on the couch, nursing Maddy who I assumed was asleep because she hadn't said anything. I shrugged before grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.

"Liam and I stayed at the dog shelter late." I replied after taking a refreshing gulp, finishing half of the bottle. I unbuttoned my shirt while I walked towards my room, ignoring the hiss Dimi sent my way.

"Dog shelter? Really?"

"Liam likes them." I responded as I opened my door. "Get my sister to a comfortable bed before I kick your ass." I told him jokingly before entering my room and closing the door. His laugh made me chuckle as I stripped completely, entering the bathroom.

What a day! I thought to myself tiredly. I was so ready to just take a shower and sleep until morning. Now that my excitement for the entire day had died down, I realized that I was exhausted, not that I should've been. You really need to get back to the gym, Blake.

I scolded myself, now realizing that I had slipped up. Being with Liam distracted me from my workout schedule and I was already turning mushy, and not in the way I wanted to be. I laughed to myself, shaking my head under the spray of warm water. It's been decided; you will fit working out into your new schedule.

With a final nod, I finished my shower and towel dried my entire body before getting into bed naked. I put my phone to charge as I stared up at the ceiling, the tiredness from earlier completely gone. Instead, my thoughts drifted off to somewhere I hadn't been to in over a month ago.

"Oh God, love. You're going to kill me." I voiced looking at the erotic shifter in front of me. Liam was bent over the dresser with only a pair of underwear covering his delicates. However, instead of normal briefs or boxers, he was wearing sexy lacy pink panties.

I groaned as my cock hardened under the loose sheets. I tried to steer away from the vision, but it only forced my mind to keep going.

"I-I'm sorry, Sir." He responded, sounding almost breathless. It was only then that I noticed that his cheeks, which weren't covered by the panties, were bright red. The marks on his ass resembled the print of my hand. Oh, fuck!

Finally, after some time, I gave in and gripped myself under the sheets. My tip was already wet and leaking down my shaft. I groaned as I stroked myself, caving into the imagery that was forming behind my eyelids.

"Don't apologize, love. You look absolutely radiant."

"Thank you, Sir." Liam's voice was full of pride and it made my heart swell in appreciation for such a wonderful partner.

"You're almost done. Only ten more spanks and then you can cum, love."

He nodded, sticking his butt out more and preparing for the remaining strikes.

"Fucking hell. That's where I'm going. I'm going to fucking hell after this." I muttered to myself, still stroking my cock as my imagination went wild.

"You're such a good boy, Liam. You took your spanking so well. Would you like me to make you cum now?"

Liam nodded quickly, not moving from his bent over position. I smirked before getting behind him, now realizing that I wasn't wearing any clothes. Instead of taking off his panties, I slid them to the side, pausing in shock when I noticed the butt plug. Slowly pulling it out, I relished in the sound of Liam's broken moans and whimpers.

"Such a good boy! Very good, love." I whispered words of praise into his ears once the plug was out. With his panties to the side and my cock now coated in spit, I entered him with one thrust, no preparation needed.

That was my undoing. My release shot out of me so quickly it felt like my heart had stopped beating for a couple of seconds. My toes curled with how intense my orgasm was and my back arched off of the bed. I took some time to get my breathing under control before I got up to clean up my mess. Once done, I scolded myself tremendously.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to hell.
