Page 50 of More, Daddy

Guilt curls in my veins, and calcifies the excitement tearing through me. I’ve been falling in love with this woman online, and in person, I completely checked her out then wrote her off.

I was so hell-bent on figuring out who it was that I didn’t consider that I was being, as Leah calls it,a total pig.

I drag my hands through my hair, tugging at the ends with an impatient exhale. Cadence still hasn’t written back.

Now that she knows it’s me, is she thinking about the way I violently checked her out yesterday? And the time before that? And basically every other time I laid eyes on her, the first thing I’m sure I did was check out her breasts because… well, they’re incredible. Perky and natural, full— fuck. Maybe she hasn’t written back because she knows I’ve been checking her out like a total creep.

The internal spin-out slowly cranks up but then—a ding.

Apparently, incoming messages on Team Chat make a noise.

My focus jerks back to the screen, and relief softens me when I see her message.

Hello, Daddy West.

Holy shit. I can’t do anything but envision Cadence, her flaxen hair in that springy ponytail she wears on gamedays, her toothy white smile and blue eyes. It’s been the gorgeous cheerleading coach who’s had me in a chokehold?

I don’t know why, but even having the proof right here in front of my eyes, somewhere deep inside my bones, a touch of disbelief lingers.

When I’m talking to her online, she makes me feel disoriented and high, but in the best ways. All along, she’s been under my nose, for years, wanting the same things I want, silently pining for someone to find her and give her everything she needs.

And we were just paces apart.

It’s too cruel. It’s too lucky.

Can I ask you–

Did you have an idea it was me? Or… did you think it was someone else?

There’s no indicator that the other person is typing on this very basic chat system, so I curl my tongue over my bottom lip and bite, nervously chewing as I wait.

Daddy West.

I reread the line a few times, a little nervous to be called that on the school chat system, and a lot aroused to know who is calling me that. To have it in a space that doesn’t self-delete, so I can revisit this kinky reality later—that part I do like.

CCaine

Who did you think it was?

Answering a question with a question

A very bad girl you are

CCaine

I think I’ve already learned how to get under your skin, Daddy

So tell me, who were you hoping DaddysGirl would be?

After everything with Pris, I became short-fused and impatient, and as years ticked on, cynicism began clouding the happiness I did have, and one thing led to another, and here I am. Single and grouchy, and I’ve been that way for longer than I’d like to admit.

Still, with our strong connection, being able to be honest to Cadence aligns with that other feeling I’d been having before tonight—the feeling that she and I are the real deal. I answer honestly, and the fact that I’m able to be fully honest feelsgood.
