Hidden Hearts

Chapter 26. Dominatrix?

If there was something a person couldn't accuse me of being, it was being blind.

I had known for a while that my standoffish behavior toward my brothers was bothering my little darling.

This was why I had made the extremely foolish decision of pranking Mr. Taylor senior. I knew I would pay bitterly for it, but it was necessary. After years of keeping a wall between myself and my brothers I didn't know how to readjust our relationship without throwing a metaphorical bomb against said wall and letting it tumble down.

Translating, I challenged the Prankster King. I knew my nervousness at his retaliation didn't show in my face to anyone but Sean and maybe Sang, but I was feeling it.

Another thing that didn't slip my notice was my darling sneaking up behind Mr. Coleman and listening quietly to Mr. Lee's words after everyone stopped shouting.

"Don't shout. She doesn't need to know that we are discussing about her behind her back. She might not understand." Kota was saying. 

I almost snorted. Sean and I exchanged a look, the two of us agreeing silently that there was no way they ever could keep anything from Sang.

Their girl was sneaky and had no difficulty with eavesdropping.

Observing the looks between Mr. Coleman and the Taylor brothers I could easily guess what they were thinking.

The amused look on Sang's face proved she could guess too. She winked at me.

Mr. Coleman turned around suddenly, realizing Sang was behind him. A cautious look came over his eyes and an anticipatory smile bloomed on his face. His hands started moving, as if to cover his... posterior, but he stopped himself.

Sang had a mischievous look in her eyes and a smile that was completely devilish.

I adjusted my glasses to better study the situation. She turned those beautiful green eyes at me and winked again.

Aaaah... I think I begin to understand.

Biting back a smile was surprisingly hard this time, but I kept my stoic expression. Sean, sitting by my side, was shaking and trying to contain his laugh, no doubt having seen what I saw.

Mr. Coleman' movements caused the others attention to shift to him and then to Sang.

She raised her eyebrow at Kota who flushed at being caught and gave her a sheepish smile.

I stood from my place on the table and pulled out a chair for her to sit at the head of the table.

"Here, Darling. Why don't you sit down so we can all eat our breakfast?" I ask her with my usual smile, hearing the sigh of relief that some of the boys released. "I am sure you will have time to punish Mr. Coleman later. During the family's breakfast is not a good time for BDSM games."

Both hers and Mr. Coleman's face became fire red, but the twitch of her lips and approval in her gaze told him she was happy he was joking with his family.

The others just stood there, with their mouths open, their heads turning from me to Sang as if they couldn't decide who to stare at.

"Indeed my dear, I can imagine there is a time and place for those things." She said as she walked to where I was still standing, holding a chair out for her. Her face very flushed but a happy smile was showing, her eyes mischievous.

The boys had varying expressions on their faces, varying from red faced embarrassment, to confusion and horror at their sweet Sang being a sadistic dominatrix.
