“Daddy is so pleased to hear that,” he said. “Daddy’s little cupcake is so beautiful.”

She blushed and looked away from him. Charlotte hadn’t been called beautiful in a long time, and she found it weird. Did she just say thank you and move on?

“Daddy is so pleased to see that you feel the same way he does. You don’t have to hide anything from Daddy,” he said. “Daddy wants to know when you’re turned on by him, so he can take care of you.”

Charlotte looked at him. He wanted her to tell him when she was turned on so he could take care of her? Was he a real person right now? She didn’t know if she would be able to tell him when she was turned on.

That would be so embarrassing to let him know. What if she was always turned on? What if she was turned on when he spanked her?

Charlotte had heard of other littles getting turned on when they got spanked, and she didn’t know how to respond to that.

“I know it might be hard in the beginning, but you’ll get used to it.”

She didn’t know if she would get used to it or not.

He held her hands and rubbed the back of them with his thumb.

“Charlotte, I think since you’re feeling better we need to have a serious conversation.”

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

CHARLOTTE

Nerves ran through her body when Daddy said he wanted to talk to her. Was this when he was going to tell her he didn’t want anything to do with her?

Why would he give a whole speech about her underwear and not having to hide anything and then tell her he didn’t want her anymore? It didn’t make sense, but anything could happen at this point.

“Cupcake,” Daddy called out. “I need you to stop thinking whatever you’re thinking.”

Charlotte made eye contact with him and nodded her head. It would be hard, but she would try. At this point, Charlotte had sat up in her crib with her feet dangling, and Daddy was sitting in a small chair in front of her.

What could he want to talk about, then? Could it be because she got a second job and she didn’t let him know? Could it be because she put her health in danger and that was a major rule?

“We need to have a serious discussion, and I think we can have it today because you’re feeling better,” he said.

Could she make up that she started to feel worse right now? Would he believe it or call her bluff? Charlotte thought for a second before she decided against it. He would know if she lied, and she didn’t want to add onto the punishment if he was going to talk about that.

They stared at each other for a while before Daddy spoke again.

“Why didn’t you tell me you got another job? Why didn’t you tell Daddy that you were struggling?” he asked. “Daddy would’ve helped you out in any way you needed.”

She knew he would, and that’s what she was worried about. They hadn’t known each other long, and he was ready to give her anything and everything, and that scared her.

Was this normal for a guy to do that, or was it just him? Had he done this before?

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders, but she knew why. She was embarrassed, and she didn’t want to be a charity case. She worked hard to earn her money, and she didn’t want to mooch off of someone.

If she had told Daddy about her struggling, he would’ve paid for things. He would’ve told her that he could take care of her every need. She wanted that, but she also didn’t want to mooch off of him. They hadn’t been together long, and she didn’t want to rely on him financially so early into their relationship.

Would he think of her less for that? Would he realize just how poor she was and not want anything to do with her anymore?

Charlotte wanted to give up all control and let him take care of everything, but she didn’t want to be a burden. He had worked hard over the years for that money, and she didn’t want to just take it.

“Cupcake, don’t shrug your shoulders when you know the answer,” Daddy said as if he could tell that Charlotte knew the real reason.

She looked down at her hands and started to play with them. The only thing she could do right now was play with them. She knew that he would make her look at him soon. Daddy liked for her to look him in the eyes when she talked.

“You can tell me anything. I won’t be mad or make fun of you. Daddy wants you to be able to come to him for anything and everything.”
