Who's Her Daddy

I hate my job. I work as a secretary for a real estate company, my boss is bitch, the work is pointless, and everyday is exactly the same.

Everyday I go in, I suffer through the day, and then I go home. At home though I'm a whole different animal. I love posting nude pictures online. I'm just obsessed with the attention, and with all the guys in my inbox. My rule is twenty years older or bust.

I have a bit of a daddy kink. I love the idea of an experienced guy, who spoils me rotten. Who takes care of me and provides for my every need. I also like the idea of being naughty, of having daddy punish me when I'm bad.

It was one such night of hedonistic posting, that I noticed a weird message.

"Don't you want an easy life?" It was so plain.

Usually my messages were things like "nice tits" or "hey baby" but not this. This was so tempting. So I answered.

"I do. But I don't think you can offer me that." I liked being a little sassy with the men who message me.

"We can, 1609 Rose Street, tomorrow night. Arrive at 9, formal dress." The message didn't leave room for response.

I messaged a few times, but they didn't answer. Clearly it was a take it or leave it offer.

There was no way I was going to go to a random house in the middle of the night. Well, I do want an easy life. But how desperate am I for that kind of escape?

I decided to sleep on it. My sleep was fitful, I was so aroused. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to go so badly, but what if they had malicious intent. Would I care?

I did eventually fall asleep, and my torturous routine began again.

Wake up, get ready, go to work, get yelled at, get coffee. The day just dragged on. But today I had something to look forward to. I decided at lunch that I would go tonight. I mean, worst case scenario I get kidnapped, it's not like anyone would look for me. I had cut all ties years ago.

As soon as I was off, I raced home. I pulled my hair into a stylish French twist, and wore my favourite dress. It was black with an asymmetrical hemline and was covered in a black sparkly tulle. Gold earrings and a black choker to finish off the look.

I drove to the address, arriving precisely at nine. I walked slowly to the door. Doubting every step. But I couldn't turn back now, I was determined. I rang the doorbell.

The man who opened the door was both tall and large. I was worried, until he flashed me the warmest smile.

"Welcome, come on in!" He said jovially.

I smiled back and followed him in. We walked down a long hallway and a flight of stairs, ending up in a room with two doors and a table with two chairs. In one of the chairs, a small man in a tan suit. On the table was a piece of paper and a pen.

"Hello miss. Marten." The small man said evenly.

"Please call me Grace." I said softly.

"Of course Grace, my name is Mr. F and I am the lawyer representing this production."

"Production?" I asked.

"Yes Grace, you have been selected to appear on the popular web series "Who's her daddy", a dating show for daddy doms." Mr. F spoke plainly.

"Oh." I answered, not knowing what else to say.

I was going to be on a dating show? This is better than anything I had imagined, but there was definitely some anxiety weaving through my excitement.

"You will have one month to date four daddy doms, every week you will send off one daddy. You will be live-streamed twenty-four-seven. That includes in the bathroom, in the bedroom, and every moment in between. You will stay on property, and pending your signature to the contract, we will handle your employer."

I just sat there trying to absorb everything he was saying.

"All of the doms are independently wealthy and put through a vigorous selection process. During the show you will be taken care of by the host Mathew and his staff."

The kind man who showed me in, did an awkward little wave.

"He will help you with anything you need and provide assistance with decisions should you need it. Once you choose, you will be married to your daddy of choice, and will live in luxury and ease."

At that I grinned openly, this was everything I had ever wanted and more.

"We have played twice before, both with great success and two very happy women." Mr F actually smiled at this part. Clearly he had a great deal of care for the women who participated.

"Please take your time reading the contract, and if you sign we can start the process." He finished.

I read the contract slowly, making sure I fully understood what I was signing up for. It was just as Mr. F had explained. I picked up the pen, signing my name.

"Excellent!" Matthew said, clapping his hands twice.

A man rushed in with a TV cart.

"I think it's time for you and the audience to meet the candidates!" He said in that cheesy reality TV voice.

The man turned on the TV.

First on the screen was a man with dark brown hair and green eyes. He had a well cared for beard.

"This is David, he's forty three. He enjoys camping, reading, and woodworking."

Next was a man with dark hair and dark eyes, his caramel skin was stunning. A light stubble on his face gave him a rugged look.

"Meet Lucio, he's forty. He loves cooking and writing."

If these were the first two candidates I couldn't wait to see the full menu.

"Next we have Lucas."

His blue eyes were piercing. His blonde hair is stylishly cut. I bet he even smelled like money.

"He's thirty-nine. He enjoys playing piano, running, and ballroom dance."

Whew I would be having a fun month, no doubt about that.

"Last, but certainly not least, Levi. He's thirty-eight. He enjoys repairing classic cars, fishing, and sunsets."

The youngest of the four, his grey eyes and black hair would be intimidating were it not for the soft smile on his face. I know a teddy bear when I see one.

"So Grace, is anyone really standing out to you?" Mathew asked, shoving a microphone in my face.

That would take some getting used to.

"Gosh Mathew, they all look great. I try not to make determinations about people based on looks, but I can say... there's a lot to look at" I said with a wink.

Immediately the watch on Mathews wrist began pinging. He looked at it quickly.

"Well you seem to have the viewers' agreement on that!" he laughed.

"Ready to make some introductions?" He said enticingly.

He led me to the far door.

"Am I ever!" I said eagerly.

Mathew opened the door. Behind it, were the four gorgeous men, all in suits holding roses.

"Hello gentlemen!" Mathew announced.

"This is Grace, and she is eager to meet you all! Let's get in the limo so you can all get to know each other on the way to the house." He prompted us through the next door, outside apparently.

A chauffeur opened the door to the limo for me.

Instantly a caramel coloured hand appeared next to me to help me into the car.

"Lucio I assume?" I said coyly.

"You assumed correctly, it's wonderful to meet you Grace." He said softly, his voice warm and soothing.

I settled in on the far side, while the four men sat across from me. Mathew joined me on my seat.

"So Grace, let's play hot seat! Ask any of the men anything you like." Mathew spoke more to the camera than to me.

"Ok! Let's start with the first photo I saw. David, what do you like to read?" I asked, turning to the man on the far end of the seat.

"I like Orwell, I also enjoy Kafka and King." He said briefly, blushing under the attention. This was a man who did not usually operate in the spotlight.

"Great choices, I'll have to get your book recommendations some time!" I said sweetly, taking the camera off of him, he looked relieved.

"Lucio, you like cooking, what would you make for me?" I played it up for the viewers, the pinging on Mathews watch told me that it worked.

"I would make whatever your heart desires, but I make a mean lobster bisque." His dark eyes bore into me. He was intense, I couldn't tell if I liked that or not.

"Lucas, do you have a favourite composer?" I turned my attention to the blonde.

"To listen to Vivaldi, to play Chopin." He said, aloof.

I wasn't sure he even wanted to be here. He seemed bored, so I decided to call him out.

"Bored with me already, we've only been in each other's company for ten minutes?" I asked, my sweet tone laced with snark.

"Not at all the case darling, I just don't want to bare my soul to my competitors. I'm not here for them, now am I?" He said calmly, but his eyes were icefire.

Mathew's watch was pinging non-stop. It seems he just made himself the favourite... I mean audience favourite. Not my favourite. I think.

"Ok then. Levi, you said you like sunsets, where do you like to watch them from?" I asked the man across from me.

"I like to go up on my roof. I'll stay until I can see the stars. I'm a bit of a backyard astronomy nerd." He replied sweetly.

"I would love to learn about the constellations!" I said excitedly.

Levi smiled, Lucas frowned. Good.

The car pulled to a stop.

"Alrighty everyone, before we head into the house, all of the candidates may ask Grace a question." Mathew announced.

Shit! I didn't expect the script to be flipped on me like that. Okay, guess I better get really interesting really fast.

"We'll go in reverse order, so Levi you start." Mathew explained.

"Alright, Grace, what's your favourite season?" He asked gently, probably picking up on my panic.

"I like the fall. Something about the slight chill in the air, and I also love halloween!" I blurted out.

A few pings from Mathew's watch.

"Lucas you're up!" Said Mathew.

"Grace, what's your ideal evening like?" Lucas said, in a shockingly light tone.

"Oh that's a hard one! Sushi for dinner, romantic stroll through the city, then an evening of... fun." I said mischievously.

Mathew's watch went crazy. Lucas smirked. I smirked right back. Game knows game pal.

"Lucio, go ahead." Mathew broke the tension.

"What do you look for in a man?" He asked teasingly.

I looked at him, matching the intensity he showed earlier.

"Respect, a kind heart, natural leadership, and a strong guiding hand." I responded honestly.

The expression on his face was not one I was familiar with. But Mathew's watch seemed to love the exchange.

"Wow! Quite the question, and quite the answer!" Mathew said to the camera.

"Daniel, how will you ever top that?" Mathew challenged.

"What was a moment that changed your life?" Daniel asked quietly.

Suddenly it was like it was only him and I in the car.

"The first time I danced with an older guy in a bar, I was really really drunk, too drunk probably. I was swaying and tripping. He called me a cab, carried me out there, and paid the cabby for the ride. I never got his name, but from then on I've only ever been into older guys."

I hadn't meant to be that honest, but something about Daniel made me want to tell him. I almost forgot about the camera.

The limo was deathly quiet. However Mathew was still a reality show host.

"And on that beautiful moment of honesty and intimacy, we end the hot seat! Let's go see the house. We'll see you after these messages." He said, once again talking to the camera, and ignoring all of us.

"Ok guys, you have five minutes, meet in the house, do not be late!" Mathew sighed.

He restyled his hair and was chugging water.

I moved to exit the vehicle, and once again Lucio's hand was waiting to help me.

"You're quite the gentleman." I complimented him.

"Only because you're quite the lady!" He said devilishly.

I blushed.

"May I walk you in?" He said, extending an arm.

I took it, smiling up at him. He is a lot taller than me, and the muscles I can feel under his suit are next level. He leans down to my ear.

"I am excited to get to know you on a more one on one basis mí amor." He whispered.

I flushed.

"I agree wholeheartedly." I managed to stutter out, semi-coherently.

He laughs, it sounds like whiskey and honey.

I'm doomed aren't I?

We start the walk up to the magnificent house. The wood says rustic, the size says mansion. It's out in the middle of nowhere, I suspect this is by design.

"Alright guys, foyer in one minute!" Shouts Mathew, racing by us. Lucio mutters something under his breath.

"Loving Mathew?" I tease him.

He just scowls at me and then laughs. Guiding me in a little quicker.

The group gathers in a small semi-circle with Mathew and I in the middle.

"Three, two, welcome back viewers! Without the help of our sponsors we would not be able to make this show happen! You can also help by donating on our page!"

I didn't know we got donations.

"Now it's time to show our contenders, and the lovely Grace around the mansion!" He explained.

"First is the foyer! We will be meeting here every morning at eight A.M. sharp to discuss the day's agenda. Gentlemen, you will get here at seven-thirty for your contestant briefing."

At least I get an extra half hour. Though eight is early.

"Next, is the dining room. Breakfast is at around eight-thirty, cooked by our wonderful chef." Mathew said walking through the dining room.

"I will now give you all the chance to go find your rooms. Gentlemen you'll be on the first floor, Grace you'll be on the second." Mathew prompted.

The men all left down the hallway Mathew pointed them to. I walked up the stairs in the foyer, those would be perfect for dramatic entrances, thus my later start time.

I found a door with a chalkboard sign that said "Grace" in neat cursive. I slowly opened the door.

The bed was huge, bigger than any I had ever seen. I saw closet doors on one side, and the open door to a bathroom. I headed that way first. There was a large clawfoot tub that I would most definitely be using later. The shelves were filled with fluffy towels and there was a silk robe hanging on the back of the door.

I ran a hand over the smooth cool material. Then I remembered to look for the cameras. I spotted two in the bathroom, then three in the main room. When I opened the closet, I only found one camera, but I found it full of clothing. All of it tailored to me. There were dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, and most interestingly drawer after drawer of lingerie. I would enjoy trying everything on later.

I was distracted by a chime sound from the other room. I walked out of the closet to see that the mirror in the room was also a screen. There was text along the top.

"Dinner at seven, black tie." It said in scrolling text.

Alright then, it's five now, I should take a quick shower. I stepped into the shower, and found an array of different products to choose from. I found my usual shampoo and conditioner, and chose a vanilla body wash. I found an equally large array of perfumes on the counter. I went with a vanilla perfume as well.

Trolling through the dresses was nearly impossible with the sheer amount of them. Thankfully they were organized by dress code. I scanned the evening gowns, and my eyes landed on a forest green gown with a leg slit that extended up to my thigh. The square neckline and batwing sleeves complimented my curves and large bust.

I found Lucas outside my door.

"I figured you might like an escort to dinner." He said, almost shyly.

"I would like that very much, thank you." I said gently.

Where was the cocky man from earlier?

"How do you like your room?" He asked.

"It's amazing, more luxurious than anywhere I've ever stayed." I responded enthusiastically.

He smiled at me.

"And what do you think of the candidates?" He asked coyly.

"I think that I have a very hard decision ahead of me." I answered with a giggle.

"I think it's best if you just focus on enjoying yourself and let us worry about competing darling." He said, gently kissing me on the cheek.

My heart fluttered. I didn't know what to say.

"I can see you worrying about what to say. Don't." He said, winking at me.

It was then that we arrived at the dining room. The other three and Mathew were already there.

"Ah, our guest of honour!" Mathew said to me.

"And Lucas." He added.

"Nice to see you too Mathew." Lucas said politely with a touch of humour.

Daniel smiled at me, Lucio scowled at Lucas, and Levi seemed to study me. Levi then stood quickly pulling out the chair at the head of the table for me.

"Thank you."

"It's truly my pleasure Grace." He said genuinely.

Lucas found his seat next to Lucio, who was to my right. I'm sure that would go swimmingly. Levi sat to my left and next to him was Daniel. Mathew sat at the other end of the table. The meal was relatively peaceful. During dessert Mathew picked up his host act again.

"So gentlemen, let's tell Grace and the audience why you decided to be on the show." Mathew's tone was jovial but his eyes gleamed with a hint of sadism I hadn't noticed before.

"Let's start with you Daniel." Mathew's eyes flashed as he said it.

He really seems to enjoy tormenting Daniel. I would have to try and figure out the dynamic there.

"I uh, well I was invited back after appearing on a previous season." He said quietly.

Mathew's face flashed annoyance, before gaining back that plastic smile. I guess Daniel was not supposed to reveal that. Interesting.

"And you Levi?" Mathew tried to keep the ball rolling despite whatever had happened with Daniel.

"I wasn't having any luck in the dating scene and this seemed like an interesting way to meet someone special." His eyes turned to me, at someone special.

I flashed him a grin. He was quiet, but he seemed to be growing on me. Mathew seemed to find this answer acceptable. I wonder what the rules and expectations are for the men. I'd have to find out later tonight. I doubt Mathew wants me to know.

"Lucio, go for it." Mathew pressed on.

"It seemed like an exciting adventure and I'm a sucker for trying new things." He winked at the camera.

Even flirty with the viewers I see, no wonder he and Lucas had become rivals so quickly.

"And finally, Lucas." Mathew's attention turned to the man.

"I have too much money, too much time, and haven't found a way to buy a woman I truly love." He answered coldly.

His eyes were icy again, but not at me, at Mathew. Weird. The questions kept growing but I wasn't finding any answers.

"Alright contestants, and Grace of course. You will have free time until midnight, then everyone is to be in their separate rooms." He put a strong emphasis on separate. None of the men had the gaul to look shocked. Servers came rushing in to clear the plates. How large was the staff here?

I decided to explore a little. I stood up and excused myself, none of the men followed and for that I was grateful. I went up to my room and threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a pale pink knit sweater. Much more comfortable than the evening gown, for shoes I chose a pair of white leather sneakers.

I walked out of my room and down the stairs. I walked back to the dining room, finding it empty. I decided to go check out the balcony. I opened the french doors to find Levi there, staring at the stars. He seemed happy, so I didn't say anything. I just walked over and stood next to him, leaning on the railing.

"See the three stars there?" He asked, pointing up.

"Yeah." I said matching his soft tone.

"That's Orion's Belt. It's my favourite constellation." He shifted slightly closer.

"Thank you for showing me, I'm sorry I interrupted your moment of peace." I apologized.

"You didn't, you simply added to it." He chuckled.

"I would love to stay here, but my curiosity is killing me. We do need to hang out one on one though." I didn't really want to leave, but I had questions that needed answers.

"Later sweetheart." He said gently, letting me go on with my quest.

"See you soon honey." I teased him with the nickname.

He was softly chuckling as I left.

I walked into what looked like a sitting room. Large couches surrounded a fireplace. There were bookshelves along one wall, and a stuffed bear in the corner. Unsurprisingly, I found Daniel on the couch, reading "1984" by George Orwell.
