“I’ve never heard of that before,” she said.

I explained to her a little bit about DDlg, telling her the different roles of Daddy and little girl and talking about submission and age play. I talked a little more about little space and how she can use that to unwind when things get too tough for her to handle.

When I finished, I asked. “Do you have any questions for me, little girl?”

She hesitated a moment and I said, “It’s okay if you do. This is different from a normal relationship. I’ll understand if you’re not sure about some things.”

“I don’t have any questions,” she said. “You explained it pretty well, I just…”

Her voice trailed off again and I gently encouraged her by saying, “Just what, little girl?”

“I’m…” she hesitated a moment, as though weighing how she was going to say it. “I’m not sure. Can I have some time to think about it?”

I ignored the panic that threatened to overwhelm me and said, “Of course, little girl. Why don’t you go relax and watch some tv while I clean up?”

“You don’t want me to help you?” she asked.

“Not this time,” I said. “I want you to think about what we’ve talked about and let me know if you think it’s right for you.”

She nodded and headed to the living room after thanking me for lunch and leaving me with a kiss. I cleared the table and rinsed the dishes, trying to keep my mind from running away with me. I reminded myself that she was new to DDlg and what I was asking might seem more challenging to her than it did to me.

When I returned to the living room, Rayna was waiting for me.

“I’d like to try it,” she said.

I struggle to keep from leaping for joy and instead ask, “You’re absolutely sure?”

She nodded and said, “I’m sure, Daddy. I want to be your little girl.”

“Excellent,” I said. “I’m so glad to hear that. I even have an idea bout where you can start submitting to me.”

“What’s that, Daddy.”

I knelt in front of her and took her face in my hands. “I need you to realize you’re beautiful.”

Tears welled in her eyes, and I gathered her in my arms while she wept healing tears.
