AI art by me. “Choice”

“I’ll have to ask my…husband,” Teri answered and felt herself blush.

“Oh?” Cindy, her new neighbor, asked.

They’d gone shopping at a boutique after going out to lunch.  Teri was thrilled that Cindy had asked her to go and that David had given permission.  He wanted her to make friends and wasn’t an isolationist.  There were, however, rules, and she had chosen to follow them.

“Yes.” Teri swallowed.  “I’m not allowed to buy something this expensive without his permission.”

Cindy eyed her a moment.  “And if you went ahead and bought it?”

Teri had desperately hoped Cindy wouldn’t ask that question.  Her eyes begged the other young woman to let it go, but Cindy just began to grin.

“I see.  How long have you been…needing his permission?” Cindy asked a little softer.

Teri breathed out in relief.  “Since we started seriously dating, so…over four years now.  We’ve been married for three.”

“And…has it worked well for you both?” Cindy walked past the dresses they’d been eyeing.

“Yes.” Teri blushed once more and felt her bottom squirm a little.  At the moment, she didn’t have any soreness, but that could change in a heartbeat if David…Daddy decided differently.

“You call him something other than his name or husband?” Cindy asked further.

Teri let out a little whimper of protest.  “Why all the questions?”

Cindy giggled.  “Sorry, I kind of figured your relationship was this way.  If it makes you feel better, I would have to get permission, too, or else.” Her eyes widened, and her hands went to her bottom.

Teri giggled now.  “Oh. Okay, thank you for letting me know.  Did it show or something?”

Cindy nodded.  “A little…the way you look at him and he at you.  Also, the reflexive action of your hand to your bottom if he ever frowns.”

“I did?” Teri gasped.

“You did stop yourself at the party this weekend, but just barely.  I noticed it.  Why did he frown?” Cindy asked.

“I was reaching for another drink, and I only had permission for one.”  Teri shrugged.  “I’d forgotten until I saw his eyes.”

“Hmm…would he have…taken care of you right there?” Cindy wondered.

“Mmm…not in public but…he has taken me out to the car or into a private room to spank me, then makes me come back out.  Embarrassment is part of the punishment, he says.” Teri grimaced.

“Yes, they all say that.” Cindy sighed.  “I used to be in that kind of relationship before my…” she looked around, “my Daddy passed away.”

“Oh, I didn’t know.” Teri touched Cindy’s arm.

“It’s okay.  I don’t tell many people.  I moved here just a month before you arrived.  Daddy was much…older than me, so it wasn’t such a big surprise, I guess.” Cindy shrugged and looked wistful.

“You’ve been lonely?” Teri asked in a gentle tone.

Cindy nodded and choked up a little.  “Yeah.  Dating…even kink dating is…a jungle out there.  I don’t want just a session or play or a hook-up.”  She shrugged.  “I’m jealous of what you have.”

Teri smiled.  “Thank you, but…well, maybe my Daddy can help?”

Cindy raised an eyebrow.  “How?”

Teri had an idea, but she didn’t want to say it out loud.  She wasn’t sure she could say it out loud.  She would trust Daddy to know what to do, though.  He would know.  It was his job.

“Isn’t it a Daddy’s job to know?” Teri shrugged.

Cindy giggled.  “I suppose so.”  She smirked.  “Hey, I think that little summer dress would look so cute on you.  Want some advice?  Instead of just texting and asking permission to get it or just sending a photo of it on the hanger, go try it on and maybe pose a little in it to make it even sexier.  You then send that with the request for permission to buy it.”

Teri’s eyes glowed.  “That’s diabolical!”

“Is it?  Daddy will just like it as sexting from his girl, won’t he?” Cindy spread her hands.

They went back and tried it.  Teri posed while Cindy took the picture.  Teri showed even more leg than the dress normally would.  She then took a second to show that she was being a good girl, with no panties. 

David was home working when his phone vibrated.  He wasn’t surprised.  Teri was good at keeping him aware of what was going on frequently.  A few sore bottoms had taught her to be this way.  She was a good Daddy’s Girl.

Daddy, can I have permission to buy this dress, pretty please?  Teri texted and added to the photos.

He smiled.  This was something new from Teri.  Sexy photos from the dressing room weren’t her usual style.  Cindy was with her, and he suspected her influence in this.  He’d thought he caught a vibration from Cindy when she looked at him, then down.  It was a dead giveaway of submissiveness.  She never called him by his first name, just “Mr. Hilton,” no matter how often he told her to use David.

Typing his reply, he grinned.  Depends, Babygirl.  Was this Cindy’s idea or yours?

Teri gasped and blushed.

“What? Did he say no?” Cindy asked her as they sat near the dressing room.

“Nooo, he figured out it was you.” Teri breathed.

“So? Does that mean you’re in trouble?” Cindy asked.

“I don’t know.  You remember how it is, right?”  Teri showed her the text.  “You know how quickly this could lead to a…spanking.”

Cindy looked and nodded.  “Better tell him the truth.”

“Of course.  I don’t want the soap…ever again.” Teri murmured.

Cindy held back a grin because she knew what Teri meant.

Yes, Daddy.  It was Cindy’s idea.  Am I in trouble?  Teri sent him.

David chuckled.  A healthy dose of never knowing if her bottom was safe didn’t do any harm to the girl.  It kept her on her toes, and she liked it that way.  He’d made sure of it.  

No, Baby.  Go ahead and buy the dress, but I would like Cindy to call me.  Be sure she understands she doesn’t have to, but I’d like her to contact me for a short conversation.  He sent it off and waited to see what might happen.  It was a good time to stop and make some lunch.  

“He wants me to call him?  Why?” Cindy’s eyes looked a little panicked.

Was Teri evil for enjoying the nervousness of Cindy now?  Well, she did enjoy it and decided to rub it a little further.  “He knows.  Somehow, he knows what you are or were.  I think he wants to ask you about it.  Remember?  You wanted help?  Well…” Teri trailed off and left the breadcrumbs for Cindy to follow.

David had just sat back down with a sandwich at the computer when his phone buzzed for a call.  He saw it was Cindy.

“Mr. Hilton?” Cindy’s voice was hesitant.

“No.  This is David.  There’s no Mr. Hilton here.” He answered.

Cindy sighed.  “Please, don’t be like that?”

David silently shook his head, stubborn girl.  “Since you won’t call me as I asked you to do, and you’re set on being formal, then what about Sir?”

Cindy sucked in a breath.  It was what she said to herself when she called him Mr. Hilton.  Her nipples hardened at saying it out loud to him.  He was her new friend’s husband, for God’s sake!  She shouldn’t be feeling like this.

“If…if you think it would be okay with Teri?  Sir.” She let it slip out and felt an old and familiar heat rise between her thighs.

“There…isn’t that much better?  It will be okay with Teri because I’ll tell her it’s okay.” David replied.  It was quite a moment.  “Okay, you can ask her when she gets back, and we’ll see what she says, but until then?”

“Yes, Sir.” Cindy sounded relieved.  “Thank you, Sir.”

David could tell she knew how to use the honorific.  “So…you’ve been giving my little bride ideas?”

“I…didn’t mean any harm, Sir.  I was trying to help her and, well, you, too.” Cindy explained.  “You did enjoy the photos, right?”

“I did.  You did well.  You know what I’d like to call you for that, but…I won’t.  Not yet, anyway. But I’m thinking it.” David answered.

Cindy now blushed a deep red.  She knew what he was thinking, and it didn’t matter that he didn’t say it.  She felt his Good Girl anyway, and it only stoked the fires.  “Thank you for not saying it…yet, Sir.” She whispered.

David noticed she’d returned the yet to him.  

“Teri’s coming back, Sir,” Cindy told him.

David heard a whispered conversation.

“Teri says it’s fine.  She’s grinning at me for…damn it…for blushing that it’s okay to call you Sir.” Cindy grumped.

“I’d like a word in private with her.  Do you mind if I use your phone for a bit?  By the way, were there dresses similar to that that caught your eye at all?” He asked.

Cindy heard and felt the hook in his question. Any submissive worth her salt would be able to feel the subtle push in it.  Sir wanted her to look for one.  Well, there had been that one green dress…  “Yes, Sir.  I’ll go take a look at it for a while.”  She answered.

“Thank you.  Good…job.” He swallowed a laugh.  “Let me talk to Teri.”

Cindy felt flushed as she got up and handed her phone to Teri.

Teri watched her friend walk off in a daze.

“What did you do to her, Daddy?” Teri asked in amusement.

“Oh, I sent her to shop for a dress like yours.  I just…suggested it.” He told her the truth.

“Hmm…I know what you did then.  Like when you suggested I take a look at the wooden spoons last time I was at the cooking store?” She remembered how hot her face had been when she’d been forced to pick out the very spoon he would use from then on to paddle her in the kitchen!  

“Something like that,” David told her.  “That’s why I wanted to talk.  I’ll leave her alone and let it die down if this isn’t good for you.  I need you to be honest about it, but…she did seem a bit…sad at the party, didn’t she?”

Teri looked at the phone with a slight glare.  Daddy knew too much for his own good sometimes.  “How could you tell?” Teri asked.

“It was a guess.  Has she talked about it with you?” He asked.

“A little…I’d rather not say, please?” Teri asked.  If Daddy told her to tell them, she’d have to say to him.

“It’s fine.  I won’t make you tell secrets. I have an idea, though, and I wanted to get your approval first.  Maybe we can make her feel a little better.” David went on to explain his plan.  

Teri giggled and grinned wickedly.

Cindy was just about to take the dress to try it on when Teri walked over.  “Phone’s for you now.” Teri had this evil grin on her face.

“What?” Cindy asked and looked at the phone as if it were a snake.

“Sir is waiting.” Teri shook the phone.

Damn it.  That was unfair!  Cindy grimaced and took it.

“Sir?” She asked.

“Have you picked it out yet?” He asked.

“Yes, Sir.  I was…just going to try it on.” She answered.

“Good, very good.  I think in the absence of another Daddy nearby, I should give my approval to make the purchase…so I’ll need to see if it looks good.  Am I understood?” He asked.

Cindy’s breath caught in her throat. Her eyes went to Teri, who was now just softly smiling and nodding slowly.  It’s okay.  She mouthed to Cindy.

“I understand, Sir.” Cindy breathed out.

“Excellent.  I’ll be waiting.  Don’t take too long.” He hung up.

Teri had to lead her friend into the dressing room because Cindy was currently incapable of movement.  She was docile enough to be taken there but didn’t rouse until she began to undress.  

Teri watched her begin to put on the new dress.  It was a shiny green number that would show off the rich red color of Cindy’s hair.  It made her own green eyes sparkle.  There was just one problem.

“Um…I don’t think he’d want you to be wearing panties, Cindy.” Teri pointed out.

Cindy froze.  “What? I’m not…your his…wait a minute.” She babbled.

Teri shrugged.  “My Daddy is very particular about rules.  If he’s going to approve this, then it has to fit within his rules.”

Cindy stared at her.  “Well, how’s he going to know anyway?”

“How do you think?” Teri cocked her head, as if her friend was dense.

“He didn’t mean…you don’t think he meant…you mean, just like your photos?” Cindy’s voice was getting higher.

Teri nodded and enjoyed the feeling of pushing the buttons on her slightly older friend.  She also thought Cindy was way sexier than her, too.  Teri knew she was beautiful and had a good body.  She worked for it and Daddy liked showing it off, but Cindy’s was a different level with wider hips and fuller breasts.  The dress was straining to keep Cindy’s Double Ds in place.

Cindy buried her face in her hands.  “You understand what you’re asking me to do, right?” She asked without looking up.

“Show your pussy to my husband?  Send two sexy photos of yourself to him?  I think I understand it.” Teri answered.  “But do you know what?”

Cindy slowly looked up at her.  “What?”

“You’ve been smiling like an idiot since he started playing with you.  Your face hasn’t stopped being flushed, and the sparkle in your eyes could light a fire.  I know you’re happier now.  So does he.” Teri answered.

“And…you’re okay…with this?” Cindy asked.

Teri sighed.  “Daddy was very honest with me from our second date.  He wanted to get more serious, but he also knew he wasn’t a one-girl kind of guy.  It didn’t mean he slept around everywhere, but…that in time…he might be interested in someone who came along as well as with me.”

Cindy nodded silently.  “He’s poly.”

Teri nodded.  “It took me a whole week to think about it before I decided to try and see if it would work.  So far, he enjoys watching them and will flirt slightly, but he’s never made a move on one before.  Until now.”

“You think he’s…?” Cindy trailed off.

“Yes, I do.” Teri became very serious.  “Daddy’s like taking care of little girls who need them.  He’s seen the hurt and sadness in you.  He wants to help.  I want him to help.” She shrugged.  “We can see how it goes.”

“You have first…spot.” Cindy tried to find the words.

“I know.  He knows.  He’s told me he’d never go further than I was comfortable with.  It’s why he needed to talk to me to ask permission, sort of, do this with you.” Teri explained.

Cindy smiled.  “That’s…kinda cool.”

Teri nodded.  “Yeah, it was hot for him to be asking me for permission, but he was keeping his promise.  I’d have said no if I didn’t think it might work out.  We’ll see?”

David was beginning to wonder when his phone buzzed….and buzzed…and buzzed and…he waited for the storm to finish before he picked it up.

The girls had sent six photos instead of just the two.  There were two of Cindy looking sexy, and then the one showing she was following the rules.  The other four were pictures with them both in some exciting poses.  He went back and forth between them a few times.

I approve.  You two stop by the market and pick up some barbecue supplies to have.  We’ll do a grill night, and I’ll cook if you two will make the sides.  He sent.

Cindy giggled and showed the response to Teri, who joined in with her.  

Yes, Daddy!  We agree!! He read and then reread it.  This was from Cindy’s phone, wasn’t it?  He checked, and it was.  Okay then.

Good girls for Daddy, Cindy.  See you two later…hop to it.  He sent.

Yes, Daddy. Cindy sent it back.

A moment later, his phone buzzed again.

Thank you, Daddy.  She’s positively beaming.  Teri sent.

No, THANK you, Little Girl.  You’re being very, very good about this.  He replied.

She sent back a selfie where she looked directly into his eyes, and her mouth was slightly parted in a sultry smile.

I’ll always be good for you, Daddy.  Don’t you know that?  I kind of like the idea of having another girl around.  I might get some rest.  She teased.

Don’t count on it.  He sent it back and couldn’t hear the squeals it elicited from the parked car as the girls read it and began to drive to the market.
