"Make a Show"
I gaze into the mirror as I stand on the podium in the purple room. Daddy has taken extra care with dressing me tonight. I'm dressed in crushed velvet the color of blood, and my lips have been painted to match. Every curl is in place and it had taken Daddy a while to lace me into my undergarments.
The pale pink corset cinches my already tiny waist beneath the petticoat of my tea length gown, and matching garters hold up cream-colored stockings with crimson bows. The panties, matching the transparent lace and color of the corset, form a cage around my bottom and leave
ma minette
bare. I'd been confused when Daddy had slid them up over my thighs and whispered that I'd thought they had holes in them. He'd simply chuckled and spun me around to take in the full effect.
I'd tried for most of the day to pry from my Daddy the location of our special Valentine's Day date. Since the break in, my Daddy has rarely allowed me to leave the grounds of his estate and I find myself full to bursting with excitement. I'd tried kissing him softly and giving him my signature
yeux doux
, looking up at him from under long lashes, but to no avail. I'd even tried kissing him a fair bit lower, and while he'd received this attention with great enthusiasm, he'd refused to break his silence. Eventually, he'd threatened to spank me if I kept trying to spoil the surprise and so I'd held my questions for the rest of the afternoon.
Now on completing another full spin, I catch a glimpse of Daddy's expression in the mirror and feel my breath hitch. Nothing makes me feel more beautiful than the expression I find on his face. Slipping my feet into my matching ballet slippers, I plead with him once more to tell me where we're going. Daddy simply smiles again and turns my key, this time choosing to freeze my mind along with my body in doll form.
When he withdraws the key from the heart shaped lock in my hollow, I inhale deeply and get my bearings. I've become accustomed to losing time and finding myself in new places within our home, but I've never before returned to human form to find myself in a new location entirely.
We appear to be in a gallery of sorts. I take in the bright white walls and podiums covered in glittering glass sculptures. Mobiles hang from the ceilings and mosaics are mounted on the walls. Daddy knows how much I love glass art and I smile brightly as I twirl around, arms outstretched in the rainbows cast by the carefully positioned lights and colorful pieces.
I feel like I'm in a fairy land and find myself totally entranced. "Happy Valentine's Day Darling," my Daddy says lifting me up and spinning me around. "We have the gallery to ourselves for a while so that we can enjoy it privately, and then later some guests will arrive for the grand opening of the exhibit.
As we walk through and look closely at the displays, I see some of my favorite fantasy themes represented. I'm particularly drawn to a magnificent blown glass sculpture of a unicorn in the corner. "I want you to choose a piece to take home with us," Daddy whispers. "My second gift to you tonight. The rest will go to auction."
I'd given Daddy my gift for him earlier. I'd saved my spending allowance for over a month and purchased him a beautiful pocket watch with a heart shaped lock, matching the one in my hollow, engraved into the casing. The inscription inside had been simple and to the point,
Je t'aime Papa. -Fleur.
I realize as we wind our way to the center of the room, the art begins to grow progressively erotic. Butterflies and fairies give way to nude forms, all crafted exquisitely in glass, in various positions of pleasure. One sculpture in particular looks remarkably like
ma minette,
almost as if the artist had seen it in life, but blooming from a delicate stem in vibrant green. My Daddy laughs softly at my side, enjoying my close inspection of the shimmering folds. "I suppose it does look almost like a flower." I whisper as I blush.
The exhibit forms a labyrinth of sorts and when we finally reach the center, I see that final installation is hidden in a sort of ring of glass, forming a small interior room. Stepping inside I find a bright white platform. A large empty cube of the same brilliant hue sits in the center, and around it my eyes rest on a series of pedestals. They are all of varying heights, but universally lower to the ground than the cube. Each pedestal contains a beautiful blown glass flower with wide stems resembling shapes I've become accustomed to having penetrate my body.
Above the cube hangs one of the most beautiful mobiles I've ever seen. It's enormous in size with hundreds of tiny glass butterflies twirling and glimmering in the light. I reach my hand upwards to touch them and then catch myself. I know better than to touch art in an exhibit. "Go ahead," my Daddy whispers. "Just be gentle, you won't set off any alarms in this section."
The interior of the glass wall has been coated in an iridescent treatment, creating a sort of mirror effect and catching the glimmers of the mobile. I watch the pieces twinkle, completely mesmerized, and gently touch the lowest butterfly before leaning against my Daddy's chest. He softly brings my hand back to my side as he wraps his arms around me from behind.
Look at how they catch the light,
he says softly, his voice taking on a melodic quality I've become so accustomed to.
I wonder if you can imagine the rainbows filling your mind and pushing away all of your thoughts. I'll bet you can feel yourself beginning to float amongst them now. That's right. Good girl.
It's like you're in a dream isn't it? In fact, I'll bet that when I turn your key, and you become a doll, you'll have no awareness of anything in the room other than Daddy's voice, and touch, and the pretty colors drifting around you as you drift further into your dream now. You'll feel and see me, and only me, and the objects in this room, but I think you'll find you have no awareness whatsoever of anything outside this glittering room of rainbows. You'll simply be a doll, unable to move or speak, but able to feel all of your human sensations.
I briefly wonder why my Daddy is explaining this to me. I already know what happens when I am a doll, we've done this many times before. The key is simply magic. I don't dwell on this long however before my mind melts into rainbows. My Daddy leads me by the hand to the platform and arranges me in a seated position on the cube. It's large enough for us both to lie down, but he doesn't join me on it. Rainbows glint across his face as he approaches me key extended.
I feel the key turn in the lock at my hollow and I am simply a doll. I sit silently as my Daddy poses my body in several arrangements before circling the cube out of my view and unzipping my dress.
He lays my form, stripped down to my elegant lingerie, on the massive cube and bends my knees. With my legs splayed and arms raised artfully above my head to form a sort of ring, I imagine I must look like a prone ballerina. This thought lasts only moments before it's swallowed by rainbows as well.
