“Apology accepted, baby. But just know that I will not allow you to disrespect our relationship with those naughty words. Am I making myself perfectly clear, little girl?”
Well, he certainly had the lecturing part down, didn’t he? Every word from his lips settled like a rock in her stomach, until she felt every bit a naughty, bratty Little girl ready to be punished by her Daddy. “Yes, Daddy.”
“Good girl. I’m going to spank you now. What’s your safeword?”
“I don’t have one. I’ve, um, never really done this before.”
“Then we’ll stick to the basics. Red to stop, yellow to pause, green for good to go. Can you remember that for me, baby?”
She was really starting to get addicted to the sound of him calling her “baby” in that deep, crooning voice of his. “Yes, Daddy.”
“That’s my girl.”
Warmth bloomed inside her at his words. Was this really what she’d been missing out on all this time? Sweet praise and loving little touches that made her heart trip in her chest and her palms sweat?
Maybe she reallydidneed a Daddy.
A sharp sting spread across her right asscheek and it took her a moment to realize that he’d spanked her.
Hard.
Holy crap, who knew her son’s hot nerdy best friend had a hand like a fucking wooden board?
Before she could even react, another swat fell, and she kicked her feet against the cushions as the sting spread. “Ow! Dylan, you’re doing it too hard!”
Two more hard, heavy swats landed, just a bit lower than the first. “At the risk of sounding cliché, it’s supposed to hurt, little girl. This isn’t a fun spanking. This is the spanking naughty girls get when they cuss at their Daddies.”
For the first time, the weight of what she’d done really hit her. She hadn’t just overreacted; she’d lashed out and acted in a way she never would have accepted from anyone else. If it had been him cussing at her the way she had at him, she would have kicked him out of her house.
A heaviness settled in her chest as the swats continued to rain down on her defenseless bottom. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice thick with the tears sticking in her throat.
“I know you are, baby. You’re a good girl who just did something naughty. Daddy’s going to help you remember for next time and help you get rid of all those yucky feelings you’re keeping bottled up inside.”
Was she really that transparent? Or was he just better at this whole Daddy business than she’d given him credit for?
Either way, it was working. Between his words and the pain building in her bottom as his hand connected with her bare skin over and over, she’d never felt so submissive, soLittlein her entire life. And at some point, without even making the conscious decision to do so, she simply gave herself over to it. Surrendered to her Daddy’s discipline and let herself be nothing more than a naughty Little girl getting her bare bottom spanked.
Not that she went quietly. There were plenty of tears and begging and struggling to escape his punishing hand. But Daddy never missed a beat, holding her in place no matter how hard she fought him.
Until, at last, she broke. Collapsing over his lap as the tears came hot and fast, her bottom burning more than she’d ever realized was possible.
“There’s my good girl,” he murmured softly, his now gentle hand stroking her bare skin. “Let it out all out, baby. Daddy’s right here. You don’t have to be strong with me.”
At his words, the steady stream of tears turned to choking sobs. She couldn’t even speak as he helped her sit up so he could cradle her in his arms while she wept.
For the first time in longer than she could remember, she let herself justfeel. Without pretense, without worrying that she was burdening someone with her emotions. She simply let the feelings come, let them overwhelm her, until she finally couldn’t cry another tear.
Exhausted, hollowed out in the best possible way, she dropped her head onto Dylan’s shoulder with a sigh. “That was… intense.”
“I’m guessing you really needed that cry.”
“Guess I did.” But now that she’d had it, embarrassment began to creep into those hollow places. “Sorry. I know that was a total overreaction to a little spanking.”
“You are just determined to find out what Daddy’s belt feels like across your bare bottom tonight, aren’t you?”
Worry and excitement twisted her stomach into a giant knot. “I didn’t even do nothin’ wrong!”
Oh, god. She was sliding headfirst into her Little space, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t seem to stop herself.
