  My cheeks were still hot, but I was getting curious and maybe a little bolder. This felt like some kind of fucking dream, and God I didn’t want to wake up. I started to open my mouth and ask him what he was going to do, but before I could get even a syllable out, he yanked my panties down and his hand came down on my ass and I gasped, jolting forward, my fingers digging into his leg.

  James wasn’t overly gentle, but the strike wasn’t going to do any lasting damage. My right ass cheek burned and tingled in the most delicious way. I licked my lips and looked over my shoulder, eyes wide. He was rubbing my ass again, but within a few seconds he raised his hand and brought it down again.

  Every time he smacked my ass, the sound of skin on skin echoed through the dining room, mixing with my small squeaks and moans of pleasure. I loved what he was doing to me and I didn’t want it to stop. My panties were hanging off one ankle and my hair was a disheveled mess by the time he was done. I was sure my ass was red and burning, but I didn’t complain. I could feel a familiar slick wetness between my legs and my cheeks got even hotter.

  I whimpered and pressed my face into his pants, rolling my hips desperately. He put his hand on the small of my back, keeping me from moving around too much.

  “Hmmmm…Doesn’t seem like spanking is a very good punishment for you.”

  I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. I was shivering excitedly, waiting for what was to come next. Maybe he’d finger me right here on his lap? Oh, that sounded delightful. I spread my legs a little, chewing on my lower lip, silently hoping that he’d take advantage of what I was offering him. He cocked a brow and tapped his fingers on my ample ass before giving me a little pat.

  “Stand up.”

  My eyes widened at the command and I could help but be just a little bit annoyed. I thought I was going to be able to get exactly what I wanted. Apparently, James and I weren’t on the same page. I knew I was pouting a little, but I couldn’t help it. I felt like I’d been promised something I hadn’t been given.

  James pulled me close and kissed my cheek tenderly, stroking my dark hair. “Don’t worry baby girl. You’ll get what you want.”

  The kiss warmed me up and I smiled, nodding as I bent over and started to pull my panties up. He gripped my wrist and shook his head from side to side, a smirk lighting up his face. “Mmm. Leave them off. In fact, don’t wear panties anymore.”

  My eyes widened and my cheeks flushed. “Ever?”

  “Yes. I don’t ever want you to wear panties again. You have to make yourself available to Daddy at all times.”

  My breath hitched in my throat and I nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”

  “Good girl.” He kissed my forehead and then my lips, holding me in that tender kiss for a long moment. When he finally released me, he stroked my hair out of my face and smiled. “I need to go into work today and I’m sure you want to see your friends.”

  “You’re leaving?” I whined, taking his hand and swinging my hips from side to side. I was surprised at how well and how easily I fell into the role of ‘baby girl’.

  He kissed the top of my head again and I stood on my toes to meet him like an eager kitten, waiting for affection. He chuckled softly. “Yes. I have to go into the office for a little while, but when I get home we’ll do something fun, alright?”

  I nodded and tucked my hands behind my back, sighing softly. “Fiiiine. I guess I’ll see if Sara is doing anything today.”

  “That’s my girl.”

  He started to collect his briefcase, setting out contract inside almost tenderly. He closed the leather case and glanced up at me, his steely eyes burning into me and boiling my blood. When he looked at me like that, I could feel myself going weak in the knees. He walked over and pulled me into his arms and I sank into them eagerly, pressing my forehead to his strong chest. He was so much larger than me and I loved it.

  “Remember, no touching yourself when Daddy isn’t around.”

  He smirked and released me, leaving me a quivering mess in the dining room.

  Chapter Four

  I leaned against the metal chair at the café, chewing my lower lip and stirring my latter absent mindedly. I’d taken a few sips from it, but it sat untouched, for the most part. The little bell above the door rang and I turned to look at who’d come in.

  Sara was unraveling the scarf around her neck as she settled in the seat across from me, humming softly. “Hey there!” she sang, reaching across the table to wrap her arms around me. I leaned into the hug and sighed as she started to reprimand me. “You know, it’s been weeks since you sent me an email or text, Aria.”

  “I know, I know. I’m a terrible friend. Life got busy, but if it’s any consolation, you were the first person I called when I got to town.”

  “Mmmmm…I guess that makes up for the radio silence,” she said, ordering a cappuccino from the pretty waitress who bounced over. “So, how’s life?”

  “It’s pretty normal.” Boy, was that a lie, but I didn’t want to get in the details with her. “Just the usual stuff. Classes and tests. You?”

  “Same shit, different day. Kind of wish I was close to home like you are, but I’m managing.”

  I nodded as I listened, but my mind was already wandering to what was going to be waiting for me back home. Lying about what was going on had brought my new-found relationship with my step father to the front of my mind. How could I not think about it when it consumed me? Sara snapped her fingers and I jumped to attention, my eyes wide and my throat dry.

  “What?”

  “You okay?”

  “Huh? Oh…Yeah. I’m fine. I was just thinking.”

  “What are you thinking about?” she asked, sipping at the drink the waitress put down in front of her.

  The question made my cheeks go pink and I swallowed, suddenly clamming up. Sara cocked a brow and leaned back in her chair. “Aria? What the hell is up with you? You’re acting all weird.”

  Oh God. Was I? Was I really acting all weird? Was I that transparent? That was a terrifying concept. “I guess I’m just tired from the drive.”

  Sara frowned a little and looked me up and down. “Are you sure? I’m just not used to you being so quiet and aloof.”

  “Yeah.”

  “And you got this weird glow….OH MY GOD!” she gasped, slamming her hand down on the table as if she’d figured out the secret to the universe.

  I jumped and looked at her, wide eyed. “What the hell, Sara!”

  She pointed an accusing finger in my direction. “You’re in love!”

  Fuck. She’d hit that nail right on the head. I looked away and crossed my arms over my chest. “You’re crazy. The cold did something to your brain.”

  “No, I’m not! You hooked up with someone, didn’t you?”

  I turned to look at her, trying to figure out a clever come back, but my silence told her everything. She leaned over the table, grinning like a child who’d just won some kind of game. “Who is it?”

  I knew I shouldn’t tell her. I knew that I should have kept my mouth shut and kept it to myself, but it was so damn hard. I was so excited to finally have the thing I’d been dreaming of for so long. I’d once admitted my attraction to James to Sara and she had seemed giddy about it, rather than disturbed. If I was going to tell anyone, it was going to be Sara. Me and the blonde-haired beauty had been best friends since elementary school.

  I shifted in my chair for a moment, tapping the table and chewing my bottom lip. Sara tilted her head to the side, her brows furrowed as she started to look more worried than curious. “Hey. You okay?”

  Another nod and I took a deep breath. “I need to tell you something, Sara.”

  “Sure. Anything. You know I’m always here for you.”

  “I came home last night and I was having some alone time, if you know what I mean,” I murmured.

  Sara looked confused for a moment, but then a look of realization dawned on her features. “Ohhhh. Okay. Well, that’s normal. Like, everyone does that, don’t they?�


  “Yeah, but that’s not all.”

  “Okay.”

  “James saw me. He walked in on me.”

  “Oh my god! That’s awful! You two must have been so embarrassed!”

  “Well, I was…He, uh, called me downstairs and made me admit that I was thinking of him.” My cheeks went red and I averted my eyes.

  “Oh…Whoa…Um. Are you okay?”

  The question was hesitant, concerned and full of worry. I knew what was going through her head and I had to get her back on the right track. I offered a breathless grin and gripped the table. “I’m amazing, Sara. He wants to be with me! He wants me to be his!”

  She hesitated and hummed. “Yeah?” She didn’t sound convinced that this was a good idea. “That seems a little…odd.”

  “No…I mean, maybe, but it’s not like we’re blood related and I’ve wanted this for so long, Sara. I mean…I’ve thought of him like this for so long and now I’m finally going to get the chance to explore that! Who knows if this is the real thing or not, but I want to give this a shot.”

  She tapped her fingers on the table and looked deep in thought. “I guess there’s not really anything wrong with it at the end of the day, but…I’m worried about you. This has to be weird for you on some level, right?”

  “Not really,” I said with a casual shrug. “I don’t know if I should admit it or not, but I’ve been hoping something like this would happen since I was sixteen. I used to think about it constantly. I feel kind of bad about it because I was just a kid back then, but I’m an adult now and I know what I want.”

  Sara sipped her coffee and reached out to take my hand. “Well, as long as it’s what you want and you aren’t being like…Held hostage or being taken advantage of, I’m with you all the way.”

  I squeezed her hand a little and smiled, thankful to have such an understanding friend. It was nice to know that I would have someone to talk to and a shoulder to lean on. I would eventually tell her everything. I would tell her about the intricacies of my relationship with James, but for now I was just happy to know that I had someone in my court.

  She glanced up at me again. “What’s going to happen when you have to go back to school though?”

  Shit. That particular thought hadn’t crossed my mind until just now. I offered a weak smile, but Sara saw right through it. “Mmmm…Ya’ll haven’t talked about that yet, have you?”

  “We’ll get it worked out. I’m only an hour away.”

  As I said it, though, I started thinking about it and I couldn’t help but wonder how this kind of relationship was going to work with me in school. As I sat there, listening to Sara chat about her life I started to worry that this thing with James was temporary. Would he want someone who couldn’t devote themselves wholly to him? Would I be replaced by a busty blonde he picked up at a club.

  There was only one way to find out.

  Chapter Five

  I was on the couch when James came home, curled up and flipping through a text book for one of the harder classes I was going to be taking in the spring. I had tried ignoring the fact that I only had a month and a half with James before I had to go back to school, but it wasn’t really working out. I wanted to talk to him about it and smooth everything over, but I knew I’d have to wait till he got home.

  The door creaked open and as I came around the corner to meet James, I saw snow blow in from outside. The temperatures were dropping. James closed the door and unraveled his scarf, smiling at me as he crossed the room and kissed my cheek.

  “How was your day, baby girl?”

  “Good. But it’s better now that you’re here.” I said, offering a sheepish smile.

  His eyes lit up as he took his glasses off and wrapped an arm around me. “You were always good at charming the pants of everyone.” He sighed, kissing my forehead. “Let’s go sit by the fire. It’s freezing.”

  He kept his arm around me and I followed him into the den, where he lit the fire before settling into the almost too big couch. We sank into it together and I leaned against him, closing my eyes. “Jam-, I mean, Daddy?”

  He stroked his fingers through my hair, running his hand down my back and along my ass. My cheeks went red as I felt his fingers tracing the areas where panties lines should have been. I assumed he was making sure I’d followed his rules and not worn any panties.

  “Yes, darling?”

  “I…I was thinking about something today?”

  “And what is that?” he asked, pulling me into his lap.

  I nuzzled his soft, well-groomed beard and peppered kisses along his perfectly rugged face. “I’m still in school.”

  “Yes. And I expect you to stay there.”

  I pulled away just enough to look him in the eyes. “What are we going to do when school is back in session?”

  “I’ve been thinking about that too.” He ran his fingers through my hair, watching me closely. “I know this isn’t the type of relationship you’re used to, but I want you to know that this isn’t just about sex. I don’t just want to fuck you,” he said, pressing his lips to the curve of my neck. “I want you. All of you. I want you in my life and I want to love you. I want to give you the things that any lover might want to give. I want to make you happy and treat you well and that means that sometimes, our little contract will have to fall by the wayside. I’m okay with that because you aren’t just a piece of meat. You’re far too precious to me for that.”

  My eyes were wide as I slide my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his in a slow, chaste kiss. He smelled like sweet exotic spices and the forest. It was a scent I’d come to know and love. “You mean that?”

  “Of course I do. I watched you grow into a beautiful young woman, and as I watched I dreaded the day you brought home some asshole who convinced you to date them. No one was going to be good enough, and as you got older, I started to realize that no man would ever be good enough for you. I’m not even entirely sure I am, but I want to give it a try.”

  I shook my head and pressed our foreheads together. “You are. You’re so amazing Daddy. I’ve looked up to you for so long, and when I was younger…I used to hate that mama married you. I hated that I could never have you as my own, and I never dreamed that one day…One day I’d be able to tell you exactly how I felt about you.”

  He smiled and kissed the corners of my lips before his fingers curled in my hair. I gasped as he gently tugged my head back and kissed my throat, making my eyes flutter closed and my heart beat faster. He knew how to switch gears really well.

  “When you go back to school, you’ll come home every weekend and spend time with me. You’re going to call daddy every day and tell him how school is going. You understand?” I nodded and whimpered softly. I could hear the smirk in his voice. “And there are certain rules you will still be expected to obey.”

  “L-Like what?”

  “No panties,” he whispered.

  “Oh.” My voice quivered with excitement.

  “Stand up, baby girl,” he said gently.

  I did as he asked and stood up, standing in front of him, shifting as his eyes lingered on my, causing molten lava to run through me. I was sure my whole body was flushed a pretty pink. James was clearly enjoying himself. He ran his hands down my arms and the came to rest at my waist. His fingers dipped just beneath my jeans and he slowly started to ease them down.

  There was a lump in my throat and I swallowed it, looking up at the ceiling as he took in my most intimate areas. No one had ever looked at me like this and it excited me, but made me nervous all at once. My heart was slamming in my chest and my palms were starting to sweat. I curled my hands into tight fists, trying to hide at least some of my nervousness, but he saw right through it.

  “How are you doing, baby girl?”

  “I’m alright.”

  “You’re so stiff. Relax,” he whispered, running his fingers down my thighs.

  I shivered and nodded, taking a deep breath as his fingers worked their way up m
y bare belly and underneath my shirt, slowly lifting it up over my head. He tossed it aside and sighed at the sight of my naked figure. My fingers twitched as I thought about covering myself, but decided against it. James wouldn’t like that.

  I had the same insecurities every girl had, and the fact that I was naked and displayed in front of James magnified those insecurities. He was looking at me with an intensity that sent chills down my spine and I moved close to him, wrapping my arms around him. He pressed tender kisses to my neck and chest, his fingers in my hair.

  James stood and lifted me into his arms, smiling. “Let’s go to bed, baby girl.”

  I grinned back nodded, knowing full well that he had no intentions of letting me sleep tonight.

  Chapter six

  James had me wrapped safely in his arms and carried me up the stairs, kissing my cheek and temple. I would turn my head to catch his lips, excited for what was to come. I knew he wasn’t taking my upstairs to put me to bed.

  He nudged the door open with his foot and I turned my head, eyes wide as I saw the tall mirror that lined one of the walls. It went from floor to ceiling and reflected the dark, moody room. Everything was red and black with touches of cream here and there. I watched as James moved around the room, lighting a few candles before he returned to me and kissed along my neck, running his hands up and down my body.

  “Do you like the mirror?”

  “It’s a very nice touch,” I murmured, shivering against his warm, powerful hands.

  “I like seeing what I do to my lovers. I love watching the pleasure wash over them.”

  Another whimper left my lips as he cupped my ass and gave a gentle squeeze. “Spread your legs.”

  I did as I was told, watching him move in the mirror with just as much intensity, licking my lips hungrily. “I want to watch…I want to see what you do to me.”

  He chuckled and slowly started to tap his fingers against the round of my ass. His fingers dipped down between my legs and I cried out softly as his finger dipped into the valley of my womanhood, running along the already tender and needy flesh. His finger brushed my back entrance as well, making me mewl excitedly, toes curling against the hard wood floors.
