"But why do I have to dress up?" I whine as Daddy hands me a pair of lace panties followed by one of my nice dresses.
"Because Derek is coming to dinner and it's polite to look nice when company comes over." He replies patiently. He of course looks perfectly put together in his pressed slacks, dark blue button down shirt, his hair neat and his beard trimmed. I pull on my panties and slip my dress over my head.
"Derek isn't company Daddy, we've known him for like, ever." I say as I try to reach the zipper down my back. I spin a full circle, trying to reach the base of the zipper, before he finally takes pity on me and reaches to zip up my dress for me.
"Babygirl" his voice goes deep, his eyes stern, "don't be a brat or I'll make you wear a red ass along with that dress."
I snap my mouth shut. Daddy doesn't bluff and there's no way I want to sit through dinner with a sore bottom.
"Why don't you be a good girl and go set the table while I finish getting dinner ready?" he asks.
"Yes Daddy" I say quietly as I make my way to the kitchen.
Just as I'm placing the last wine glass on the table I hear the doorbell ring. I dart towards the door. "I'll get it!" I shout.
Daddy and Derek have been friends for years, long before Daddy and I met. He's a few years older but incredibly good looking and he treats me like a princess, so of course he's my favorite of Daddys friends.
"Walk Babygirl!" Daddy shouts just as I reach the door and yank it open.
"Hello sweet girl." Derek says with a smile. I've always loved Derek's smile. Normally he looks stern but when he smiles it softens his features and makes him even more handsome.
"Hi Uncle Derek" I say smiling from ear to ear. I step back and twirl so my skirt flares around me. "Do you like my dress? Daddy picked it out."
"It's beautiful. You look more adorable than ever." He says as he steps inside and closes the door. I notice he's holding one arm behind his back and grin. "Did you bring me a present, Uncle Derek?" I say softly, smiling up at him and batting my eyes.
He laughs and shows me the bag he was hiding. "What, this? What makes you think it's for you? Maybe it's for your Daddy."
I hear Daddy laugh and turn to find him leaning against the wall behind me.
"Somehow I don't see them being as cute on me." He says, taking the bag from Derek. He reaches into the bag and pulls out something fuzzy and proceeds to place it on his head. As soon as I see them I know what they are and squeal in excitement.
Before I can make a grab for them Derek chuckles "If you put on the tail too I'm leaving."
Daddy just smiles and pulls the fuzzy fox ears off his head and hands them to me. "Say thank you to Uncle Derek, then go put these away with your tail."
"But Daddy..." I start to say but quickly shut my mouth at the look he gives me. As much as I'd love to wear them for the night, I know better than to go against Daddy.
I meekly turn to Derek and give him a sincere smile and say thank you before calmly walking back to the bedroom. I pull open our play drawer and pull out my new fox tail Daddy bought me last week. I run my fingers through the soft fur, then over the smooth metal plug at the base, remembering how it felt wearing it around the house the day before. I reluctantly place it back in its spot and lay my new matching ears on top, then close the drawer and head to the dining room to join Daddy and Derek for dinner, without my new cute ears on my head.

Once dinner is finally over I started bouncing in my seat. I wasn't supposed to know, but I peaked and knew that Daddy had gotten my favorite chocolate cake for dessert. I tried to hide my excitement but I could see Daddy trying to hide a smirk. "Babygirl, would you mind serving dessert while Derek and I catch up a bit more?"
I jump out of my seat, heading towards the kitchen. I can hear them both chuckling behind me but I don't care. I pull down 3 plates, grab 3 forks and place them all on the counter next to the pretty purple box that I know contains the most amazing cake ever. I open the lid and carefully pull the cake out, placing it gently on the counter. I plate big slices for Daddy and Derek and a smaller slice for myself. I carry all three plates to the dining room and politely serve Daddy and Derek their cake before taking my own seat and digging into my slice.
My slice is quickly gone and I gaze longingly at Derek's half eaten slice sitting abandoned on his plate. Daddy stands up and walks over to the small corner bar, "Derek, whiskey?" he asks as he pours his own drink.
"Sure, I never turn down free top shelf." he chuckles softly. Turning back to me he notices my gaze and pushes his plate of half eaten cake towards me with a brow raised in question.
I debate it for a few seconds, then glance down at my soft belly. With a sigh I answer, "Thank you Uncle Derek, but I shouldn't. Can't eat like I used to." I say, trying to put a touch of humor in my tone.
In an instant his eyes turn to ice and he stands up, hovering over me from across the table. I see him try to take a calming breath but I can tell he's holding onto his anger by a thread. I cower in my chair, fearing Derek for the first time ever.
Daddy of course chose that moment to turn around. "What the hell are you doing?" he yells.
