Chapter 130

Avi walked out of his room, Mitch following him silently. Scott stood from the couch as soon as he saw them, placing his hand on his chest right above his heart. "Baby..." As if Mitch's limp, the tear stains on his face, or his body's shivering wasn't enough, but Mitch was walking behind Avi with his hands handcuffed in front of him. Avi didn't say anything until Scott tried to approach Mitch. Avi held his hand up to stop him. "He asked for two punishments, because he didn't feel like one was enough. I told him he'd get 25 spanks for being so disobedient, but he said that his bad behavior deserved the cane instead." Scott's eyes widened. "You caned him...? You caned my baby?" He whispered in shock. Avi gave him a curt nod. "Yes. And you should probably ice it for him. His second punishment is the denial of his hands and speech for the next ten minutes. He will not speak to you, and he may not touch you with his hands unless you initiate the contact. You are his Alpha, and thus I expect you to hold him to these rules. Understood?" Scott nodded a few times, and then looked to Mitch, who was trying not to cry. Scott dropped to his knees, and opened his arms towards Mitch. "Come here, Sweetheart." Mitch walked towards him slowly. So Scott reached out and grabbed his waist, pulling Mitch into his embrace, although Mitch's hands were in front of him. Scott held him as tight as he could without hurting him. "I'm so proud of you, baby. So, so proud of my baby." Mitch smiled, wanting more than anything to hug him back and tell him how much he loves him. Scott looked up at Avi, still holding onto Mitch. "He did everything that was asked of him? Didn't forget the count and stuff?" Avi nodded again. "He obeyed me for the entire punishment. Didn't do a single thing wrong. But I'm serious about the ice. It wasn't a light punishment." Scott squeezed Mitch a little tighter. "Stop it. I already feel bad." Avi pushed his shoulder a little. "Don't feel bad. He asked for it. Isn't that right, Mitchell? Nod for yes." Mitch nodded once and then looked down at Scott with innocent eyes. Avi smiled and ruffled his hair a little. "Good. There's hope for you yet." Todrick walked into the room then, Kevin behind him, both of them holding bags of groceries. Jake held the door for Alex, and then Jake followed the Betas into the kitchen to see if he could help at all. Alex walked right up to Mitch when he saw the handcuffs on him. Scott stood up and moved out of the way, until Alex tried to hug him, and Mitch backed up a step. Alex frowned at him. "What's wrong, Mitchie? Why are you all...Tied up?" Scott answered for him. "Punishment. He was caned as well." Alex gasped and covered his mouth with his hand. "Caned? Ouch... I'm sorry, Mitchie. Are you okay?" Mitch nodded once. "You can't speak either? Gosh. What did you do?" Mitch just blinked a few times, and Scott shrugged for him. "We don't need to talk about that." Alex nodded and then smiled again. "But I still want a hug. I can't have a hug?" Mitch shook his head and backed up. Scott took a step forward and gave Alex a hug. "He's afraid you'll touch the wounds by accident. Haven't had the chance to ice them yet." Alex hugged him tightly and then moved away. "I think hugs are one of my favorite things ever." Scott smirked and then looked to Avi. "Hey Al... I think Avi needs a hug too." Alex smiled widely and turned around to go hug the Alpha in question. Scott winked at Mitch and then grabbed both of his hands, or rather, the metal between them, to pull him down a different hallway into their own room. Scott closed the door and turned Mitch around to face the opposite way. Scott hugged him from behind, being careful not to put too much pressure on his lower area. "Sweetie... Can I check? You don't have to let me." Mitch shrugged, craning his neck to look Scott in the eye. Scott nodded. "I'm going to look. I just want to make sure you're okay. I know Avi wouldn't do anything permanent to you. And since you were a good sport about it, I know he didn't have to be harsh." Mitch shrugged again, looking away. Scott set his head on Mitch's shoulder, and reached around his body to undo his belt and zipper. He started to slide them off, and stopped mid-thigh. "Are you sure, baby? I can just send Kevin in here..." Mitch didn't answer in any way, except to put his hands on top of Scott's and assist him in taking his pants off. Scott then grabbed a pillow off their bed, and handed it to Mitch to cover his privates while Scott pulled his underwear down too. Scott looked down slowly, honestly afraid to see what happened to him. Scott took a sharp breath at the sight of the red, bar shaped marks on his skin. There were at least ten of them in total, meaning Avi must've hit some more than once so he wouldn't be sore in as many places. Scott shook his head slowly, and leaned forwards to kiss Mitch's neck. "I'm so sorry, baby. It's been so long since you've had to have a physical punishment... I hope you learned something, Sweetie. I don't want you to have to go through this again."
