#2 The Voyeur's Window
By B.B. Rattan
Hi! I'm Lolly. I'm a thirty-two year-old private investigator. I'm also in a 24/7 DDlg relationship with my partner. This is the story of one of our adventures...
---------------------------------------------------
"Wake up, little girl."
I stretch my arms over my head and then snuggle deeper into the blankets, turning my face into the pillow. So warm and comfy. The blankets are ripped away, crashing sunlight into my sleepy eyes.
I whine and turn over, bottom up, face buried in the pillow, my arms hugging the pillow against me. I feel a tug on the pillow. Then a harder one.
"Daddy, no!"
Then my pillow is gone, and I'm naked, cold, and uncomfortable on the bed. I flop my limbs out to my sides, flat and defeated.
"Time to get ready for work," Daddy says.
"But I don't wanna." I admit that I pout a bit when I say it, but Daddy can't see that. Or at least...I don't think he can.
"Yes, you do."
"I said that I don't."
He says his next words like each word is its own separate command. "Yes. You. Do."
I look up at him. And then I giggle and raise my tush higher in the air, wiggling it in an attempt at being alluring.
"Nope. Not this morning. You've already wasted too much time with your not getting out of bed act."
Now I really do pout. But I drag myself out of bed.
"You're a no-fun, stuffy, old man," I say.
Daddy grabs my jaw under the chin in one hand. His fingers are long and strong, but surprisingly smooth. Hmm...that reminds me of another part of him, and I feel a small pulse in my clit.
His words pull me out of my daydream. "What did you say?"
My head is forced up to look at his face. "I said, 'I love you, Daddy.'"
He smiles at me. "Good girl." My chin is released, and I briefly miss the feel of his strong hand around my jaw, but then I bound off to the bathroom to shower and get dressed.

At our office, QTPi Inc. (that's short for Quick-Tip Private Investigations), I bring Daddy a cup of coffee β double sugar, double cream. Yes, he likes his coffee like he likes his little girl, sweet and easy to devour.
"Here's your coffee, Mr. Bear." Mr. Bear is what I call Daddy when we're at work. He's sitting behind his desk, doing maintenance on the code for our website form interface. A lot of our clients prefer to contact us online first. My desk is beside his, a duplicate. What clients can't see is that there's a wooden stool running along the floor beneath mine, so that my much shorter legs aren't dangling off my chair. I'm only 5'0", after all.
I sit down at my own desk and lean back to enjoy the coffee. After the first sip, the bell above the door rings, and a man practically charges into the room, the door slamming closed behind him. I startle upright, spilling some of the coffee on my shirt.
Mr. Bear straightens to his full seated height. He's fairly imposing. The man standing in front of us is of about average height and build. He has tight, curly black hair cut short in a professional style. His light purple button-up contrasts nicely with his dark skin, the color of loamy soil. He's panting, and his business shirt has sweat circles under the armpits.
I sit my coffee mug down and press a paper towel against the wet spot. The one on my own shirt. This guy can deal with his sweat circles on his own.
"Good morning. Can I help you?" Mr. Bear asks.
The man swallows and catches his breath before answering. "I think my wife is cheating on me."
I stand up and come around to the front of my desk.
"That is unfortunate to hear."
I put out a hand for him to shake, and he does.
"My name is Lolly, licensed private investigator, and this is my partner, Mr. Bear."
As I release his hand, the brown, wet paper towel falls off my shirt. My now cold, wet nipple pokes through triumphantly as I give the man my most serious and adult eye contact. Have I mentioned that I'm excellent at first impressions?

The potential client introduces himself as a Mr. Donovan Smock. He's sitting with us in the case discussion room, separate from our main office. This room has several comfortable armchairs. Mr. Smock is sitting in one, and Mr. Bear sits across from him with a phone for recording the conversation. I stand.
As it turns out, Mr. Smock has reason to believe his wife, a Ms. Tammy Smock, has been seeing another man while Mr. Smock is at work. He gave us a description of his wife, as well as the name of the man he suspects to be tilling the fields while he's away. A friend of his, unfortunately.
"I just don't understand." He shakes his head. "Dion and me have been friends since grade school. He was at my wedding!"
He's getting angry again, and I need him to stay calm so he can provide the information we need to pursue his investigation.
"Mr. Smock, why do you believe Mr. Greenwood to be engaging in relations with Ms. Smock?"
"Because of this."
In a shaking hand, he holds out a ziplock bag with what appears to be a used condom inside.
"Oh my." I take the bag, pinching it delicately between two fingers and letting it dangle.
Mr. Bear speaks up. "And you are sure the, umm...safety device is not your own?"
"No, it's not mine! That's why I'm here."
"Okay, you understand I just have to ask the questions for our records, Mr. Smock."
