“The pizza place is one town over,” Grace said. “That’s the closest one.”

Belinda, who didn’t say much, spoke up this time, taking the binky from her mouth and chiming in, “Unless you count that gas station a few miles away. But the pizza there isn’t very good.” She popped the pacifier back between her lips, seemingly satisfied with what she’d added to the conversation.

“Nothing at that gas station is very good,” Janie said. “I made the mistake of getting chicken fingers from there once. I straight up got food poisoning. I barfed for a whole day.”

“Yuck!” Mindy exclaimed.

Alyssa laughed. “I need to barf for a day. Maybe then I’d get some of this weight off. I better go easy on the pizza tomorrow night. I’m already such a huge cow.”

“Alyssa, you shouldn’t say things like that,” Grace said, taking her friend’s hand. “You’re perfect, babe. Just the way you are.”

Alyssa was about to respond, but the words caught in her throat as she realized the gate to the park was open.

Daddy was standing there, looking at her sternly.

Oh crap! How long has he been there?

She’d been so lost in the conversation that she hadn’t even noticed Quinn’s presence.

She was going to find out that Grace was right.

She really shouldn’t say things like that.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

“Daddy! I didn’t think you could hear me!” Alyssa said.

Quinn had guided her by the elbow all the way to the house. That had been embarrassing enough. Her friends knew she was in trouble. How humiliating could this get?

She was about to find out.

“So you only obey the rules when I’m around?” Quinn asked.

Alyssa gave a little nervous laugh before saying, “No. I didn’t mean it like that, Daddy.”

“Well, what did you mean?”

She stood there in the living room, shifting nervously on her feet, as her mind grappled with a good response. After a few seconds, she gave up and tried the apology route.

“I’m sorry, Daddy. I shouldn’t have said that.”

“That’s right,” Quinn said. “You shouldn’t have. And I’m glad you’re sorry. But I suspect you’ll be even sorrier in a few minutes. Lower those shorts and panties, honey. You’re getting a spanking.”

He slid his belt off and folded it in half while she disrobed from the waist down.

There was no hiding the fact that she was trembling.

While she’d adapted easily into life with a Daddy, she’d yet to receive her first spanking. She was starting to think Quinn was a bit soft. There were times she’d deserved one. But her luck had run out. She’d tested his patience one too many times. Now, it wasn’t all fun and games.

“Bend over the couch, honey. Stick that cute little bottom up.”

“There isn’t anything cute or little about my bottom,” she muttered.

She instantly realized that was a huge mistake.

The belt slapped across her cheeks before she was even in position, and she lurched forward with a shocked yelp.

“Daddy!” she yelled.
