Little One took another deep breath. Daddy laid his head back and looked at her through his lower eyelashes. The blush on Little One's face was fading. She tightened her lips and swallowed. Her mouth suddenly felt very dry.
"Daddy," she finally said, "Am I pretty?" Daddy reached up and softly stroked her cheek and ran a finger across her lips.
"Little One, you are the prettiest thing I have ever seen in my life." Little One closed her eyes tight, trying to hold in tears. Daddy gently touched the inside of her eye, caught one tear on his finger tip and brought it to his tongue.
"Shhhh, Little One, why are you crying?" Little One choked and tried not to sob.
"I'm scared, Daddy. I'm scared I'll do something bad and you will send me away." Little One trembled again. Daddy smiled and pulled Little One down to lie on the bed beside him. He rose up and leaned on his elbow and brushed Little One's hair out of her eyes.
"Sweet Little One, that is not the way it is. You will be with me until you choose to leave. Daddies do not send their little girls away. When you misbehave, we will deal with it then, but I will never send you away." Little One looked opened her eyes to find Daddy's eyes only inches away. He kissed her lightly and licked away another tear. Little One curled into him and rubbed her face against his shirt.
"Did I hurt you, Little One?" Daddy asked.
"It stung, Daddy, but now it feels warm. I was just so scared you would make me leave."
"I love you, Little One. I will never make you leave." Daddy stroked Little One's cheek and ran his finger tips down the side of her neck and across her shoulder. "You must understand this, Little One. I spanked you because I love you. I know you want to be good and I must help you be good. If you are not punished when your act bad, you will never learn. If I let bad behavior go unpunished, I have not been a good Daddy for you." Little One shivered and pressed her face harder against him. The spilled cologne filled the entire house, but Daddy's smell was richer and more powerful.
"I want you to be a good Daddy for me." Little One whispered. "They were nice to us at the home, but as long as I didn't cause any trouble, but nobody cared what I did or what I thought." Daddy pulled the shirt up over Little One's breasts and covered her stomach.
"You look cold, Little One. Tell me about the bottle now."
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I really am sorry."
"I know you are. Just tell me what happened." Little One took a deep breath.
"I was thinking about you shaving, Daddy. I wanted to rub myself, thinking about you."
"Rub yourself?", Daddy asked. Little One closed her eyes and her face felt hot again.
"You know what I mean. Daddy. I wanted to rub my pussy.". In a quieter voice, she asked, "Is that bad?, Daddy." Daddy smiled and stroked Little One's cheek.
"No, Little One, there is nothing bad at all about touching yourself. You can do that all you like. I do it too. So how did the bottle get broken?"
"I sat on the counter and I opened the bottle to smell you cologne. It slipped out of my hand and broke. I'm really sorry, Daddy." Daddy smiled down at her.
