“A spanking.”
“Which do you want?”
She looked at my hand around her ankle. Then at my face.
“The spanking.”
“Say it fully.”
“I want you to spank me, Daddy, so I learn my lesson.”
My cock hardened.
I did not move yet.
“What are your safewords?”
“Red to stop.”
“And if speaking becomes difficult?”
“I tap you three times.”
“Where?”
“Your leg. Your arm. Wherever I can reach.”
“Good. Are you frightened?”
“No.”
“Nervous?”
“Yes.”
I gave her the final exit.
“You may go to bed now. No spanking. No disappointment. No mark against you. I’ll tuck you in, read to you, and this ends here.”
Her eyes searched mine. I needed her to see I meant it.
“No,” she said. “I don’t want bed.”
“What do you want?”
Her voice became softer.
“Daddy to enforce the rule.”
Something dark and tender closed around my ribs.
I stood.
Her feet slid from my lap to the carpet. I held out my hand.
“Come here.”
She placed her hand in mine and rose.
