The Story

"So what is your reasoning for wanting to adopt an eighteen year old girl?" Grace Larson asked. She was a twenty-five year old social worker employed by an orphanage where she helped to look after the girls as well as searching to find them homes.

Grace herself was an orphan, and one who hadn't been adopted until she had turned eighteen, so she had sympathy for her young adult charges who having turned eighteen, would be left to fend for themselves if they weren't adopted soon. The other orphanage staff took to calling these girls 'no-hopers' (not to their faces of course!) but this had only encouraged Grace to make it her personal mission to get adoptive parents for them all, and so far she felt she had done very well, having already united Cassidy, Colina, Alix, Madi, and Bibi with their new families, while Renate was soon to also move in with her new mother, and Mikaela's adoption was close to being finalised too.

However despite these successes, Grace wasn't one to rest on her laurels, which was why she was in a café with a woman who had expressed interest in adopting specially an eighteen year old. She was a Sicilian woman name Gia, thirty-eight years old, with lightly tanned white skin, dark brown hair, a slender body, and an element of fierceness from her straight fringe, vivid red lipstick, and sharp business clothing.

However, having been shown the files of all the adult girls at the orphanage, Gia was struggling to make a selection so Grace, a little worried she would lose interest (they were meeting on her lunchbreak so the woman would be returning to her nearby office soon), was probing for what she actually wanted... as from experience she found her clients, even though on the surface they all wanted the same thing, that being to adopt an eighteen year old daughter, often had different things in mind.

For example there had been Zafira and Sarah, a lesbian couple, where Zafira had enthusiastically explained how she wanted a cutie to shower with motherly affection, but Grace had noticed how Sarah seemed less keen so she chose Cassidy, reasoning she was a shy girl who'd love having such an adoring mommy, but would be quiet and well-behaved so as not to disrupt Sarah's household. Grace was confident that Zafira would adore Cassidy, and was also certain that, despite her sternness, Sarah too would be won over by the teen's subservient meekness.

Or there was Rhian who saw adopting an eighteen year old as a shortcut to becoming a grandmother, which was something that despite being just thirty-eight, she found she yearned to be. Grace had chosen Madi, a girl who often tried to 'mother' her fellow orphans and still looked after her doll, so would likely be keen at the idea of being a young mother, thus being the best pick for what Rhian wanted. Therefore it wasn't just the prospective parents whom Grace considered the interests of, but also the girls, and she always made sure she put each teen into the home where they'd be happiest, rather than just throwing them anywhere to just get them out the orphanage's door.

"In truth, I wasn't particularly interested in adopting a daughter..." Gia admitted in response to Grace's question. "I always wanted a dog however I'm awfully allergic to animal fur, and besides I'm too busy with my career to care for one full time, so thought maybe this could be a compromise. She'll of course get a secure home and support from me as a mother, however was thinking perhaps in return the girl could act a little like a pet. You know, being obedient, giving me some affection, and things like that..."

Grace was surprised a little by the confession, not having expected the woman to 'just' be wanting a daughter as a substitute to not having a pet, as usually it was the other way round with pets being the substitutes!

"Oh, so you want a girl who will be obedient, affectionate..." Grace summarised, then added her own adjective to prove to Gia she understood what the woman wanted. "...and loyal? You want a daughter who is mature enough to care for herself when you're working, but will show you affection when you are home, will fit into your routine without fuss, and will look to you for guidance, being an obedient follower rather than a disruptive rebel?"

"Yes, you really understand me, that's exactly what I want!" Gia smiled, and Grace knew that she had earnt the woman's trust that she would pick her out the perfect girl.

"You do understand that like dogs, daughters aren't just for Christmas?" Grace joked, though the question was serious, and Gia nodded.

"Great, then I think I have the perfect girl for you!" Grace grinned, and passed the woman the file of the orphan she felt would tick all of her boxes. It wasn't just Gia she was thinking of, but also the girl however she felt the pair would be the ideal match!

It was lunchtime in the orphanage, and Amber was sat eating with several other 'no hopers'. She was an eighteen year old girl with light blonde hair and a pretty face with a sprinkling of blonde freckles across her cute little nose, cheeks, and forehead, that made her look very wholesome. She wasn't plump but she had a soft body, and her breasts were buxom, being the largest out of all the orphans. The girl had often wondered whether her large breasts, which had developed quite early, were partly why she was never adopted, as her bustiness just didn't fit with a prospective parent's vision of an adopted daughter.

"Oh, I forgot to get a spoon." Odette, a skinny petite blonde sighed after she had sat down at the table. She was just about to rise again when Amber stood up.

"Don't worry, I'll fetch you one. I was just going up to refill my cup anyway." She said helpfully then went over to the water machine, filling up her cup with chill water, then grabbing a spoon for Odette from the cutlery tray.

"Thanks!" Odette smiled when Amber returned, and the other girl grinned back, always happy to fetch something for someone though she wasn't sure why she enjoyed it so much... nevertheless it had became such a trait that everyone teased her that it was her love language and some of the other girls took advantage of it slightly. Though Amber didn't mind, and she was always happy to fetch anything someone needed that they had left in the dorm room, or to go to the kitchen to grab a girl a snack if she was hungry. She even enjoyed fetching people, and often was the first to go to Miss Larson to tell her when Mikaela was crying, even though she thought the girl was a bit of a silly cry-baby.

After lunch, the girls all went to one of the rooms which the orphanage used as a classroom for a lesson with their tutor. "Oh dear, I left the marked essays in staff room."

"I'll run and get them!" Amber volunteered and left the classroom, passing Miss Larson, who sometimes acted as a teaching assistant, as she was coming in.

Grace smiled to herself, certain that she had made the right decision to match Amber with Gia. Since the meeting with the Sicilian woman in the café, she had confirmed Mikaela's adoption date, as well as arranged for two more girls, Anabelle and Elsa, to soon join their new families she had found them. However she had just received an email from Gia to confirm the day that Amber could move in with her, so looked forward to telling the teen the good news after the tutoring session.

****

Despite it being Saturday, Amber was awakened by her alarm clock, and she got out of bed, excited for another day she would get to spend with her new mother in their own special way. She had been in her new home for a few weeks now, though having her own bedroom, rather than a dorm room shared with several other girls, still felt a little bit of a novelty as did everything else which came courtesy of having a mother who earnt a good wage! These included lovely meals, all her new clothes, and their large detached house at No. 34 Sapphire Lane, which was on a corner of the green square which the cul-de-sac ended in.

She now attended a nearby all-girl private high school called Ginerva Academy where several of the other girls from the orphanage, who had been adopted before her, also attended so it wasn't like she had been flung into a neighbourhood of strangers (in fact, it seemed like all the former 'no hopers' had ended up in either Sapphire Lane or Lavender Lane). Though rather than sticking with just the familiar faces, Amber had made several new friends as well.

However the most important change was that she now had a mother! She had never expected that a hot Sicilian woman would be her mom, though in truth she had been beginning to give up hope she would ever be adopted, however she certainly felt lucky. Gia was caring and authoritative, always making sure she had everything she needed to do her best at high school, so Amber made sure to work hard to award her by getting good grades, as well as helping her with household chores since on weekdays, the woman did long hours at the office.

But when they did get to spend time together in the evenings, and the weekends, they had gradually created a game, stemming from the teen's love of fetching things, that they played with Amber at first finding it very strange but going along to please her mother. Nevertheless, the blonde quickly found herself enjoying it, and as they played it more, she began to love it as much as Gia did, even helping to suggest new 'rules' until they had a whole routine of things that they could fill an entire day with!

Amber went to the bathroom, taking with her the little bag containing everything she would need. The blonde stripped out of her pyjamas, dropping them into the wash basket, then cleaned her teeth and peed, taking the opportunity to use the bathroom toilet for the last time that day...

Next she opened the little bag, and prepared herself for her mom and their day together playing their special game. First, Amber buckled her blue pet collar around her neck, ensuring the dangling metal tab was positioned to proudly display her name... though not Amber, as in the game her mom instead called her Rainbeaux. The girl loved this name, partly because it was so pretty but also as it was something Gia had given her which made her feel like she belonged to the woman which her collar, that she loved to feel around her neck, also reenforced. And if Amber did ever forget this, she'd only need to look at the back of the metal tag, as on the reverse side to her pet name was engraved 'Owned by Gia'.

She then tied her blonde hair into low pigtails, un-braided which was a style Amber had heard be called 'doggie ears' before, which seemed very appropriate. However she also had more literal doggie ears as she put on her Alice headband which had attached two furry pointed ears, and alongside the collar, would be practically all the 'clothing' she would be wearing for most of the day with her shapely soft body left completely exposed.

Amber next carefully applied her makeup. This was painting the tip and underside of her nose black, then drawing a black line down her philtrum, and lining the top of her upper lip with a black line which together gave the suggestion of a canine snout. She finished the face painting with some spots between her nose and lips, and three lines on each cheek to represent whiskers. The face paint had been Amber's own idea, wanting to immersive herself a little more into the game but Gia had found it very pleasing. The girl only did the makeup on weekends, rather than bothering with it when they were just playing for an hour on a weekday evening, however this just meant it was more special.

The collar and headband being her only 'clothing' wasn't quite true, as Amber did actually have a pair of kneepads to wear for comfort which she strapped on next. After all, what pet walked around on just two feet? Though unlike a real dog, she would be on her hands and knees, rather than four sets of feet, so needed the extra padding to protect herself from soreness.

Amber admired herself in the mirror, loving the splash of colour from her blue collar, and thinking as always how cute her furry ears looked as well as her makeup which really put her in the mood for the game.

Her large natural breasts, round and firm, were ever-so-slightly drooping without a bra though they still looked great, and they would be hanging down for much of the day when she crawled around. Her pussy too, topped by a bush of pubic hair which was darker than the hair on her head, would also be exposed, but mostly from behind through the view between her legs, and of course her plump butt would be shown off prominently.

Satisfied with her appearance, Amber left the bathroom and went to her adoptive mom's room. She gently opened the door then lowered herself onto her hands and knees, before crawling over the threshold with the game officially beginning. She wouldn't be walking on her two feet or speaking human words, unless either was necessary, for the rest of the day.

Amber crawled to the edge of her mom's large double bed then climbed on, and was pleased to see the woman was still seemingly asleep... after all she had no need to set an alarm to wake her on Saturdays with her loyal puppy Amber around. The girl admired the woman's natural beauty, with mornings being one of the rare occasions she saw her without makeup, then began to lick the slumbering face, mainly focusing lapping at (she learnt not to daintily poke or flick her tongue) her cheeks until Gia stirred. Other times she would have instead licked the woman's soles until she woke, however today they were tucked away under the bedsheets.

"Morning Rainbeaux." Gia said, slowly opening her eyes but allowing the girl to sloppily lick her cheeks for a little while longer before gently easing away her face. "Fetch me my Marabou mules please."

Amber nodded eagerly, panting a little with her tongue out to show she was happy. She climbed off the bed, briefly going on her two feet before lowering herself back down onto her hands and knees, rather than leaping down front 'paws' first as neither of them wanted her to play her role so strictly that it would risk her injury.

She crawled across the room, swaying her plump butt playfully as she knew that Gia, who was now sitting up in bed, would be enjoying the view, and without a tail to wag (though she did have one she'd be wearing later for a little while) this was another way she expressed her happiness when in the role of Rainbeaux.

Gia had left her closet door open, so Amber could easily crawl inside to her shoe rack where her Marabou mules were waiting. These were slinky bedroom high heels with open toes and the strap covered in fluffy red feathers which were kitschy and sexy, and something that Gia wore especially for the game... after all, if you had a good girl, you needed some kind of slippers for them to fetch in the morning.

Amber carefully picked one up with her mouth, making sure her teeth weren't digging into the shoe, and returned to the bed with it where she put her hands on the mattress to pull herself up a little before dropping it onto the bedsheets. She then returned to the closet to fetch the second Marabou mule.

"Aww, good girl." Gia smiled, patting her head then giving her a little affectionate rub which made Amber give her a happy puppyish whine in response. "Now go to the kitchen and I'll be right down to make us breakfast."

Amber nodded again, and crawled out of the woman's bedroom, She went down the landing on her hands and knees then carefully crawled down the stairs which was a little awkward but something she had now gotten the hang of then crawled into the kitchen. This room had tiles rather than carpet, which made Amber thankful for the padded kneepads she wore.

Gia soon arrived, with a wispy dressing gown over her nightwear, having been to the bathroom to pee, clean her teeth, and brush her hair, as well as wash her face clean from Amber's wakeup licking.

The woman didn't speak, but just patted her adopted daughter on the head when she passed the girl, who had knelt with her butt resting on her heels while she waited. The girl loved looking up at the woman, who was taller than her anyway and also in heels, towering over her and unmistakably in charge. The fact she got a good close-up view of the woman's slender feet in Marabou heels, with her toes sexily exposed in front of the fluffy strap, only made the girl's low vantage point even better!

Gia made a latte for Amber and an espresso for herself at the coffee machine, then laid out her breakfast on the kitchen breakfast table, as for other meals they ate in the dinning room. The woman had a bowl of fruit and a brioche, which was her weekend treat, however before she tucked in, she got out two plastic dog bowls for Amber.

The smaller one she poured in some orange juice, while in the bigger one she poured out Rice Krispies which she topped with some milk. Gia placed the two bowls on the floor for Amber then seated herself at the breakfast table to drink her espresso and elegantly eat her food, while her adopted daughter tucked in too though was expectedly a little more messy.

Amber first lowered her face over the bowl of orange juice, and stuck out her tongue to lap at the sweet drink, doing her best to scoop as much in her mouth as possible each time though as usual, quite a bit ended up running down her chin. After she had lapped at the liquid enough for the game, she cheated a little by lowering her lips to the surface and sucking the juice into her mouth as though this wasn't how a puppy drank, Gia didn't want her to be spending all day lapping up her drink.

She then moved to the other bowl which she pushed her mouth into to gobble the cereal without using her hands. It was messy, and she got milk and Rice Krispies all round her lips but eating from a bowl was easier than drinking from one, and she hungrily chewed mouthfuls of the snapping, crackling, popping cereal. Amber loved eating like this, even though at the beginning when she first was fed from a bowl, she found it a little demeaning and gross, but had since accepted the messiness as actually quite liberating. She now found being on her hands and knees with her face shoved into a bowl while her mom was sat at the table eating with cutlery was an exciting contrast, and one that exemplified their differing roles in the game.

Gia got up while Amber was still eating her cereal, and picked up the smaller bowl which she quickly rinsed in the sink before pouring in the girl's latte, which had now cooled down so it would be safe for the teen to messily lap up. She placed the bowl of coffee back down on the kitchen floor then watched fondly as her adopted daughter began to drink from it, noisily lapping with her tongue to please the woman before she began to gulp it down.

"Good girl, did you enjoy breakfast?"

Amber nodded keenly, panting again with her tongue out to show the woman her pleasure. Gia smiled down at her, thinking how cute the girl looked with her puppy face paint, furry ears, low pigtails, and the food and drink smeared around her lips and chin. She fetched a wet wipe, and carefully cleaned the girl's face who made her laugh by trying to playfully pull away like the silly puppy she was.

"Rainbeaux, stay still!" Gia laughed, and held the girl's chin firmly but gently, as she wiped the last smear of food off her face. "Good girl. Now you're nice and clean, I'm going to take my shower so wait here..."

Before Gia left her, she got Amber's chew toy which she gave the girl to occupy her while she waited in the kitchen. The toy was a bright blue rubber bone which squeaked when squished, and Amber took it between her teeth, playfully shaking her head side to side and biting down to make it squeak before tossing it across the floor and chasing after it. Gia laughed at the girl playing like a real puppy, and left her to it.
