The Daddy Dom

Part 8: All in A Days Work

He held her for a while longer, and when he was sure the tears had stopped falling and that she had overcome panic's cutting edge he whispered into her ear: "I think we should get you dressed and then I will show you how wonderful life can be."

He helped her up and took her left hand. As they walked up the stairs she held onto his arm; she was in need of physical contact.

He ordered her to sit on the bed and went over to the wardrobe. Taking out a bright green dress he turned to look back at her: she still looked a little shaken and appeared lost and unsettled. Originally he had thought to wait a few days before seeing her unclothed, but he felt that the state she was in would appreciate the dependency evoked by his dressing her.

He walked over to her and asked her to stand. She did as she was told and he raised her arms above her head. Her shoulders tensed slightly but he was not deterred: "Now let's get you dressed, we don't want a sleepy little Charlotte to be in her pajamas when the sun is already up, now do we?" And pulled her top up and over her head. He made a point of keeping his eyes fixed on her face in order to avoid sweeping her entire body with his gaze, which turned Charlotte's cheeks a good shade darker. Swiftly he pulled the sleeves of the dress over her arms and down to her thighs before reaching under the dress to pull down her shorts. He folded both items neatly and placed them on the bed before stepping back to examine her. "Absolutely wonderful, Charlotte, is it comfortable?"

She responded with a shy nod.

"Good, you'll need to be comfortable for this."

They walked out into the garden, where he motioned to a vegetable patch covered in carrot plants.

"How would you like to help me save these little carrots from the big weed invasion they're dealing with?"

Charlotte's spirits began to lift. He supplied her with the necessary tools and they both took to weeding the bed. Charlotte seemed to enjoy this greatly, and so they began to work on another patch once the carrots had been taken care of - made of strawberry plants. She was happy to help and soon her demeanor seemed to have returned to normal. She spoke a little about various dishes she loved which contained carrots and relayed her impression of the garden. It was the first time she had initiated a conversation herself. He was growing fonder of her.
