Jenni is a Good Girl

I woke up with Jenni already standing at the foot of my bed, naked except for the black leather collar I gave her. "Good girl," I said. She beamed. Outside, the world kept turning. Cars passed. Kids went to school. Normal people lived normal lives. But here, in this house, there was only us. Jenni leaned forward, resting her chin on my shoulder as I stirred the batter. "Best day ever," she murmured. I kissed her forehead. "Still just morning."

I woke up with Jenni already standing at the foot of my bed, naked except for the black leather collar I gave her. "Good girl," I said. She beamed. Outside, the world kept turning. Cars passed.

I woke up with Jenni already standing at the foot of my bed, naked except for the black leather collar I gave her.

"Daddy," she said, "I want pancakes. You make the best pancakes."

Her green eyes were bright, her freckled face tilted up just enough to show that look—soft, hungry, completely mine. The silver tag on her collar read Jenni, plain and clear. No secrets. No shame.

I sat up and reached for her. She came without hesitation, climbing onto my lap like she was made to fit there.

"You're cold," I said, running a hand down her arm.

"You always warm me up," she whispered, pressing her cheek to my chest.

I kissed the top of her multicolored hair. "Pancakes first."

She giggled, low and sweet. "Then what?"

"Then whatever I want."

She shivered, not from cold. "I love when you say that."

I stood, lifting her with me like she weighed nothing. She wrapped her legs around my waist, arms around my neck, still smiling that quiet, knowing smile.

The kitchen was small. I set her on the counter next to the stove. She watched me pull out the bowl, the flour, the milk. Her fingers tapped a slow rhythm on her thigh—impatient, but happy.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"Can I pour the milk?"

"Only if you stay right there. Don’t move."

"I won’t. Promise."

I handed her the carton. She poured carefully, eyes focused, tongue poking slightly between her lips. When she was done, she looked up at me, proud.

"Good girl," I said.

She beamed.
