Chapter 17

That next evening when she closed the store at seven o’clock, Poppy’s eyes searched the parking lot for the one-hundredth time. She’d missed her daddy so much today. Having him in the shop with her, even if he was just typing in her office had been wonderful yesterday. She hadn’t realized how lonely Posies by Poppy could be.

Stepping back into the store, she carefully locked the door and turned the sign to closed. Poppy operated on automatic. She flipped off the lights and pulled the till from the cash register. In her office, she sat down at the chair that her daddy had occupied yesterday, twisting the chair to face the safe tucked beside it. After slamming it securely, she turned around to see a handwritten, numbered list sitting on her desk.

Her mind had whirled with thoughts throughout the day. Tyler had given her the task of making sure that she genuinely wanted to be a Little. Although her mind functioned more along abstract lines, she had forced herself to make this list of the pros and cons. All day long, she’d added to the list. As she stood to walk out to her car, Poppy folded the list and tucked it in her pocket.

Poppy leaned over to grab her purse from the desk drawer in her office. A loud, grating sound filled the room as she pulled out the drawer. Sticking her tongue out at the old desk, she grabbed her purse and hurried from the office. At the backdoor, she locked it securely with her key before running her hand through her fine blonde hair to push it out of her face as she walked into the back parking lot.

Climbing into the blue car, she dropped her head against the steering wheel. What if she didn’t see him again? She had been sure that he’d come by sometime today. Forcing herself to sit up, she started the car and headed home. The familiar route faded into the back of her mind as she drove on automatic pilot, thinking of the man who had become so important in such a short time.

If he was still willing to be her daddy, there wasn’t a doubt left in her mind. Their lives meshed together perfectly. He’d worked independently in her office yesterday. Other than asking for her WiFi password, he hadn’t disturbed her except to take her out to SANCTUM for lunch and to announce that it was time to close the shop. His presence had soothed her. She had loved having him there.

That seemed laughable for an evening that had contained a serious spanking. Disciplined for the first time, the thought that he had a calming influence on her might be impossible for others to believe, but not to her. Poppy shifted back and forth on her bottom in the contoured seat. The sore spots were proof to herself that he cared. She had earned the spanking, and he’d taken care of her even when she made the wrong choice.
