On instinct, I went to pick them up, but had to stop myself so I didn’t ruin their nails. “Stay right here, darling. I’ll be right back.”
Ellie was giggling. Their dragon, Tristy, was on the couch next to them. As I grabbed the cookies from the kitchen, I heard Ellie attempting to whisper to Tristy, but it was almost full volume. They were adorable. Ellie talked proudly about their Daddy, who had to go on a scary mission to rescue the cookies from their captor—the evil cabinet.
That time I couldn’t stifle the deep laugh that burst from my chest.
“What’s so funny, Daddy. Are you eating the cookies without me?”
When I came back and faced Ellie, I held up two cookies. “Nothing’s funny, darling. You’re just the cutest princess ever, and I love you.”
I gasped in shock when Ellie jumped forward off the couch and chomped a big bite out of one of the cookies I was holding. “Ellie!”
With a mouth full of cookies, they smiled. “I love you too, Daddy.” Their words were barely audible with the gigantic bite of cookie in their mouth.
“Don’t talk with your mouth full, you’ll choke.”
I looked at the cookie in my hand in disbelief and laughed so hard I could barely breathe. “Princess, you are so freaking cute I can’t even be mad about that.” It probably wasn’t smart of me to reveal my handlike that, but I knew my good princess was just being playful, so I let it slide. Besides, I knew full well that Ellie would much rather sit in my lap and let me feed them.
We ended up doing just that. Taking my seat on the couch, I pulled Ellie into my lap, and we cuddled as I hand-fed them bites of their chocolate chip cookie. When we were finished, I checked Ellery’s nails, and thankfully they were dry. “All good to go, princess. You ready to paint my nails?”
“Yes!” They jumped off my lap and plopped down on the floor, and I took the seat across from them. “I haven’t done this in so long, I’m so excited. It’s much more fun painting someone else’s nails than your own.” I chuckled, remembering how difficult it was to paint my own nails.
“It definitely is. I used to paint my nails when I was still in school, but I was terrible at it. I always get polish on my skin. I think I’m going to like how you do it much better.”
When Ellie picked up the polish, their face was full of concentration, but I couldn’t miss the twinkling in their eye. They chose the purple instead of the pink because they wanted us to match. The notion warmed my heart.
When they placed the polish-covered brush on my nail, their little tongue poked out in concentration. I expected Ellie to be more playful and silly and maybe even make a mess just for the sake of it. I wouldn’t have minded; it would’ve been adorable to watch. But instead, Ellie stayed extremely focused throughout the whole process. While unexpected, this version was just as adorable. Anytime they made amistake, they grumbled under their breath and grabbed some nail polish remover to make it neater.
“All done, Daddy!”
Lifting my hands to my face, I turned them around, making a show of checking out every little detail. My princess worked hard, and they deserved all the praise and attention for their amazing work. “They look amazing, princess. You did such a good job. I love them.”
“Really, Daddy? You don’t mind if people see?”
My face softened as I looked at Ellie’s slightly worried expression. “I love it, darling. Now, if anyone asks me why my nails are painted, I get to tell them all about my adorable princess and what a good job they did.”
Ellery crawled around the table and plopped into my lap, being careful not to touch my hands. “I love you, Daddy. Thank you for this. I missed playing.”
“I know, darling, I missed it too. I’m going to make sure we get plenty of Daddy-little time together. Just a little bit longer and we’ll be in our own home, and we’ll have plenty of time and of course more space for toys.”
Ellery melted against me, sighing softly. “I can’t wait, Daddy.”
“Me either, princess.”
We sat there for a moment, just soaking up the feeling of being pressed against one another.
“Daddy?” Ellery’s voice was so soft and quiet, I almost didn’t hear them.
“Yes, darling?”
“C-can I try being your little doll today? It’s something we’re both interested in, and I really want to try.”
Their words had my cock throbbing instantly. I wanted that desperately, but I needed more details. Now that my nails were dry, I wrapped my arms around them and pulled them tight against me. “I’d love that princess. Thank you for asking for what you wanted. I’m very proud of you.”
Ellery turned their head and looked back at me with pure admiration and desire. “Thank you, Daddy.”
“So, does my little doll want me to dress them up and dote on them with snuggles and playtime? Or should I get you all dolled up in a pretty nightie and have you lie completely still and at my mercy as I play with your gorgeous body?”
Ellery’s face turned a deep shade of red, and they looked like they were seconds away from devouring me. I knew their answer before the words even left their mouth. “Both sound amazing, but right now I really want to just lie there and be good for you. Playtime has been amazing, but the idea of being fully under your control sounds so incredibly freeing. I want that.”
