When I eventually let myself out the front door and went to my car, I knew I had to convince Poppy that she was mine.

She was my Little girl, and I was her Daddy.

Chapter 7

Poppy

Wow. Just wow.

The fact that Carter had just been standing around outside my apartment when I decided to water my plants was one thing. But then him going all Daddy on me and coming up…

Again, wow.

I’d never felt so exposed and precious all at the same time. It seemed like he really was interested in me. Not just the Big he met when I was cleaning or when I was in his coffee shop, but also the Little me who was dancing around and watering and being silly while he watched.

I looked down at my sheer babydoll nightgown and felt my skin burn with heat. He saw me practically naked…and so did anybody else outside who was looking.

At least the windows were covered now. Thanks to Carter.

It was hard for me to fall asleep because I kept thinking about Carter and all the things he said to me. He was a Daddy who liked pink bottoms. And he called me a little girl a few times.

He knew exactly what he was talking about, and everything he said got me so wet with need.

Even after I touched myself and pretended it was Daddy Carter touching me, my body was buzzing with excitement, and it took forever for me to fall asleep. Which was why I didn’t wake up until after eleven on Saturday morning. I wasn’t usually an early riser, but eleven was pretty late for me. Especially when I still had so much to do over the weekend.

I was about to get in the shower when I realized I had a message waiting for me on my phone. And since the name on the contact said Daddy, I instantly knew who it was from. My own father was Pop, a nickname my mom thought was funny when I was a baby, but honestly drove us crazy when she was calling out for us.

How did you sleep, beautiful girl?

My tummy fluttered with excitement at his continued use of the nickname. Especially now that he’d seen me almost naked and with a messy bun, he still wanted to be so nice to me.Good. Thank you. Did you sleep well?

Other than having nightmares of a naked princess falling out her window like a clumsy Rapunzel, I had a great night.

I giggled at that. He was definitely a silly Daddy.I’m sorry if I made you worry. I promise not to do that again by myself.

How about not at all. If your plants need watering, you let me know.

I responded back with a blushing emoji.

I’m looking forward to seeing you tonight. Is there anything you need help with during the day?

I’m excited for tonight too. I’m gonna do some more unpacking up here and maybe clean up downstairs a bit before I get ready for tonight.That reminded me of something else I’d been thinking about.What should I wear?

You’ll be beautiful in anything, but I wouldn’t mind seeing you in a cute little dress.

I cocked my head at his word choice. What did he mean by little? Did he know about my Little side or was that just his way of saying I should show a lot of skin?I have lots of dresses. Some for fancy parties… And some for just playing with my friends.

The latter. But I’ll be wearing nice jeans and a pullover, so anything casual is fine.

OK, Daddy. I’m looking forward to seeing you later.I felt a little nervous about calling him Daddy, but he was upfront with me, and I felt like I should be upfront with him too.

Me too, baby girl. You have no idea.

After cleaning and organizing all day, I was exhausted. I didn’t even get down to the playroom, so that had to wait another day.

I laid out the dress I wanted to wear, but I didn’t want to put it on too early and get it wrinkly, so I stretched out on my couch and closed my eyes for just a minute. I meant to set a fifteen-minutealarm so I wouldn’t nap for too long, but I forgot and didn’t wake up until I heard buzzing from my security doorbell.

I stumbled over my own feet twice before I made it to the wall panel to look at the video. Carter was standing in front of the camera with his hand held behind his back.Oops. I hit the button to unlock the door. “Sorry, Carter, but I’m running a bit late. I need a couple more minutes, but come on up.”
