Michele snuggled
under the covers in her flannel jammies as she heard heavy footsteps ascending
the stairs.
“Are you ready
for your story, princess?” Paul asked as he sat on the edge of the bed, still
dressed in his black button-down shirt and jeans.
“Daddy, aren’t
you going to put your sweatpants on and get comfortable?”
“I will,
sweetie. But first, I want to tell my
best girl a special Thanksgiving story.”
“Ooh, a holiday
story. I hope it has a happy ending,”
she said slipping both hands under the covers to warm them.
Paul cleared his
throat. “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful woman named Chellie …”
“Chellie? I haven’t been called that since I was a
kid.”
Paul inclined
his head toward hers. “Am I making up
this story, or are you?”
“Sorry,
Daddy. Please continue.”
“Everyone
thought Chellie was beautiful and told her so, but she just didn’t believe
them.”
“Mmm. Sounds like a case of bad self-esteem, if you
ask me,” Michele interrupted as she shifted in the bed.
“Perhaps, but
her parents hoped that eventually she’d meet the man of her dreams and would
become much happier and more secure in her life.”
Michele squinted
her eyes. “I thought this story was
going to revolve around a holiday, but so far, there’s no mention of one.”
“Be patient, my
sweet, I’m just trying to develop the characters for you.”
“Sorry,” she
said with a smile, wiggling under the covers.
"Are you having trouble getting comfortable? You’re awfully squirmy tonight.”
“No, sir,” she
said, quickly pulling the comforter up to her chin.
“You seem so
fidgety. Did you eat too much chocolate
after dinner?”
Michele bit her
lip and inhaled a quick breath. “Nope, I’m fine.”
“Sweetie, are
you paying attention to me, or are you busy concentrating on something else?”
Paul asked as his mouth formed a crooked smile.
Under the sheet,
Michele's hardened nipple was being grazed by the tip of her thumbnail as the pointer
finger on her other hand slid up and down a slick seam just inside the
pajama bottoms.
“What happened? Why did you stop telling the story, Daddy?”
“It seems you have your own tale going on right now,” Paul said. “And I’ll bet it’s a good one. Care to share with me?”
Slowly, she shook her head.
“What happened? Why did you stop telling the story, Daddy?”
“It seems you have your own tale going on right now,” Paul said. “And I’ll bet it’s a good one. Care to share with me?”
Slowly, she shook her head.
“If you’re being naughty under those covers, you better not lie to me, young lady,” he warned in a stern tone.

Hey, thanks for stopping by, and as always, a huge shout-out to Ms. Melody for all her support and hospitality! Before you go, don't forget to visit some of the other fine folks on this hop! Have a great week ~ shelly
But of course she's being naughty under those covers! ♥
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new submission, Shelly. Anxious for this one ☺
Thanks, Ms. Melody! And you know how much I appreciate all your efforts running this blog hop ... it's been my pleasure hopping with you for so long. I'll miss your posts, but keep lurking! I'll be looking for you ;)
DeleteTantalizingly, teasingly wonderful snippet. I could see it! :) Hmmm, I wonder what Daddy might do to settle his little girl? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Maggie! Yeah, I guess he had a few options open! Maybe, he'll surprise her ;)
DeleteHis baby girl is being naughty! Oh my, oh my... I think that deserves some kind of correctional behaviour - I sure hope it does, anyway LOL ;) Great snippet!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christina! Of course she should be corrected ... or should he join her in the pool? OY! Decisions, decisions! Where in the hell were you when I wrote this scene? I could've used your opinion ;) LOL! xxoo
DeleteI can't believe his baby girl is being naughty - lol. Great fun snippet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daryl! I don't think there is a scene when she isn't being naughty! Let's see, 19 chapters .... 44,000 words - nope, not one scene, lol!
DeleteSo what does plan on doing to her if she continues to lie? ;) Great snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer! Well, let's see ... at this point in the story, she's already been punished on three different occasions for lying - so me thinks she's going to come clean this time! LOL! ;)
