“Kinda.” Daddy chuckled and led me to the other side of the room. There wasn’t much furniture on that side, just an empty wall and carpet. “But this is really what I wanted to show you.”

I scrunched my nose as I looked around. “Do you need help decorating?”

“Yeah, I do.” He pulled me into his arms, and then leaned down to kiss me. His touch was tender at first, and then he was moving with enough enthusiasm that I thought, or rather hoped, he’d lean me over the back of the sofa and fuck me right that second. But he didn’t. “I’d like this to be your other playspace. For when you’re here.”

“Oh.” I pulled back and looked at the space with a new lens. “That would be awesome, Daddy. I can put a shelf for books over here and maybe another one for my games and toys.” I stepped back and held my arms out wide. “And a table for crafts and coloring can go right here. Cassie is gonna teach us how to make candles, and Kylie promised to do a cookie decorating class for the Little Lovelies.” I looked up at him. “Can my friends come here too sometimes? Maybe when they have Daddies to play with you?”

He smiled and seemed to hold back a chuckle as he pushed a loose lock behind my ear. “That would make me very happy,baby girl.” Daddy reached for my hand and guided me to the sofa. He sat down first and tugged me onto his lap so I was straddling him. “I love you very much, Poppy.”

My heart started racing, and a boulder formed in my throat.

“I know you love your place, and I love it too, but I was wondering if you might consider living here with Daddy someday? We can wait until you’re ready, or we can maybe let Briana rent your apartment if you’d like to move in sooner.”

“You really love me, Daddy?” My head was spinning, and I knew he’d said lots of other stuff, but those were the words that mattered most. The only words that really mattered at all.

“I really do, baby girl. So much.” He leaned forward and kissed away the tear that had somehow escaped from my left eye. “And when you’re ready, I want to spend every day and every night with you.”

I nodded as I sniffed back the tears that were sneaking into my sinuses. “I love you too, Daddy. I want to live with you today!”

His arms closed around me, and he rocked me on his lap for a long time before he could speak again. “I’m so fucking happy to hear that, beautiful.”

I held him tightly too, replaying all the words he’d said that were finally making it through my brain. “Wait a sec. What did you say about Briana?”

“I was wondering if you even heard any of that.” He laughed and nudged me back so he could look into my eyes. “I saw Briana when I bought your flowers. She said she has to find a new place to live, and since she works right down the street, I thoughtmaybe you’d consider renting your place to her if you decide to move in with me.”

I thought about it for a second and then a new wave of happiness filled me. “Yes! That’s perfect. We can still have a Little Lovely protecting the playroom, and I can live here. With you. I love that idea, Daddy.” I smacked a sloppy kiss onto his lips. “You’re so smart!”

Epilogue

Carter

I didn’t expect Poppy to agree to move in with me so quickly. Since she’d just barely moved into her new place, I figured we might be months or even a year out before she was ready to give it up.

But my girl was all in, and where we lived didn’t matter as much as the fact that we were living together did. We spent the next few weeks moving out the things that she wanted to keep or leave for Briana, and then we held a huge yard sale and got rid of everything else.

Briana was so excited to move into the apartment. Not only was the mortgage Poppy was paying $100 less per month than what Briana had been paying in rent, but since she didn’t have a lot of nice furniture, she was able to keep a lot of Poppy’s stuff.

It made Poppy very happy to be able to help her friend save some money, keep her in the neighborhood, and have her mortgage paid in a single transaction.

My relationship with Poppy continued to grow, and within months, our dynamic had shifted from evening scenes to analmost total power exchange. She still had her job and I still had mine, of course. But after hours, she liked to hand all of her decisions and Big decisions over to me and easily let me take care of her.

She was my dream come true.

Things weren’t always perfect—especially on the rare occasions when I had to travel and she wasn’t able to go with me—but spending time with my Little girl and her group of Little Lovelies made my Daddy heart grow bigger than I could have ever imagined.

Cassie wants to have a Daddy of her own like Poppy and Cassie have, but she’s too independent to fully submit to anyone. Even the sexy ER doctor who immediately recognizes the brat within her who needs to be tamed.
