Cassie yelped and immediately started squirming as he spanked her. She was a fighter, and he loved that about her, but he needed to remain firm and show her that he would always follow through with what he said.
“I’s sorry, Daddy!” she cried.
Ignoring her pleas, Brady continued to spank her for several minutes before he paused briefly to pull down her panties. The sound of protest that came from her actually made him smile as he started spanking her again, focusing on the fleshy part of her lower bottom.
“Ouchie!” she cried out as she started sobbing.
It only took a few more smacks before she went limp over his lap and he stopped spanking her. Pulling her up into his arms, he rocked her and whispered soothing words to her as she calmed down.
“I’m sorry for being mean, Daddy. You’re not really a jerkface,” she said softly.
Kissing the top of her head, Brady squeezed her against him. “I forgive you, baby girl. I love you so much. Thank you for apologizing.”
The weekend had been just what he and Cassie needed to rekindle their marriage, and gave him the confirmation he needed that this was the right call for them. She needed a Daddy and a leader in her life, and he realized that her tantrums and attitudes had been an outcry for that all along.
He had never seen Cassie so loving and sweet as he had at the cabin. She seemed to embrace being his Little girl. He just hoped that once they returned home, she would be just as enthusiastic. He knew that while they were at the cabin, it was easy to be his Little girl without any of the outside world interrupting their dynamic. He just hoped she was as serious about saving their marriage as he was and would continue to allow him to be her Daddy.
Zipping up the suitcase full of all the new stuff he’d gotten her, he carried it out to their car. Cassie was sitting on the couch where he’d told her to stay, with her hippo, her blanket, and a pacifier in her mouth, watching cartoons. She’d told him that morning she was sad to leave the cabin. Brady had promised he would bring her back again soon for another weekend without Wi-Fi. She’d stuck her tongue out at him and giggled. It pleased him that the attitude she’d had when they arrived at the cabin had seemed to disappear entirely and was now replaced with a carefree, loving Little girl he adored.
“Alright, princess, the car is all packed. I have snackies and a sippy cup of juice for you for the ride.”
Cassie grinned and walked over to him, dragging her blanket with her. Together, they walked out of the cabin and to the car.
Brady opened the car door for her and buckled her seat belt before laying her blanket over her lap and handing her the lunch bag he’d filled with snacks. As they began the drive home, Cassie was bubbly and much chattier than she had been on the drive to the cabin only a few days before. After about an hour, Cassie quieted down, and he could tell she was feeling sleepy.
“Close your eyes, baby girl, and rest.”
She nodded and pulled the blanket up over her. When she reached over and grabbed his hand, Brady felt a lump form in his throat. The affection she’d been showing him the past couple of days had been heaven for him and made him feel closer to her than he’d ever felt.
When they were a little over an hour away from home, Cassie woke up and sleepily yawned. She smiled over at him and then dug into the lunch bag, pulling out her sippy cup and a Ziploc bag of goldfish crackers. She snacked and drank her juice while he drove, occasionally holding a cracker up to his mouth to offer it to him. Brady opened his mouth and pretended to bite her fingers when she fed him a cracker. Cassie squealed and giggled each time, snatching her hand away from him.
“You’re so silly!”
Hearing her laugh made him feel like he had done the right thing as a husband, and he would make the same decision over and over again if it meant his baby girl was as happy and carefree as she was right now.
“Daddy,” she said quietly after a few minutes.
Brady looked over at her, concerned with how serious she sounded all of a sudden.
“Yes, baby?”
Cassie looked over at him and smiled softly.
“No matter what happens when we return to the real world, please make sure I’m always your Little girl, no matter what. I don’t want to lose this connection, and I really like being Little. Especially since I’m your Little.”
Brady felt as though everything that had been weighing him down the past year completely lifted and everything would be okay.
“I promise, Cassie. You’ll be my Little girl forever and ever, and I won’t let that change.”
She nodded her head as a tear rolled down her cheek. “I love you so much, Brady. Thank you for giving me the ultimatum and saving our marriage. I’m so happy and proud to be your wife.”
“I love you, too, Cassie. But my name is Daddy unless you want your bottom spanked,” he replied, winking at her and smiling.
Cassie laughed and stuck her tongue out at him, knowing he was playing with her.
“Okay, Brady.”
Brady grinned and raised his eyebrow at her.
“Oh, you’re going to pay for that when we get home, Little girl.”
She grinned, too, and made a silly face at him.
Yeah. Life was good.
