━━━━༺❀༻━━━━

Perched on the kitchen counter with your legs crossed, you finish icing the velvet cake you had just baked. You smile to yourself, putting down the pale pink coloured piping bag and admiring your work. You were going to wait for your daddy to come home before devouring the cake, but your thoughts are interrupted by the ding coming from your phone.

Eagerly, you reach over to grab your phone and check who texted you. Andy.

Andy: Hey, princess. Mind coming by my office?

You bite your lip and giggle at the message, quickly sending one back.

You: hi daddy! of course i can! did… something happen?

Andy: Nothing happened really. Just not in a great mood. Thought my baby could cheer me up?

You: oh no :( i’ll be there as soon as i can, daddy! i’ll bring cake too!

Andy: Thank you, y/n. Drive safe.

You: i will! i love u <3

Andy: Love you too!

And at that, you quickly cut two pieces of cake, and place them safely in a container, then placing the container in a bag along with plates and forks. You opt to take the Audi your daddy bought you instead of your bicycle for the sake of getting to him as soon as you can.

༺❀༻

You reach the office Andy works at and park the car, rushing inside, through security, and into the elevator. Once the lift stops at the floor your daddy’s office is on, you rush out and knock on the door before skipping in.

Andy is leaning against the desk, sipping his black coffee, and a smile creeps onto his lips when he sees you enter his office; plaid mini skirt, a baby pink blouse, and cherry-stained lips.

He puts down his mug and holds out his arms for you to run into, “hello, kitten,” he chuckles.

First, you put down to bag on the coffee table, then run over hug him as tight as you can, showering his face in kisses, “hi daddy!”

You’re rewarded when Andy picks you up, carrying you over to the couch and placing you in his lap. “What’d you bake for daddy this time, hm?”

“It’s red velvet with whipped icing!” you giggle, grabbing the container and handing a slice to your love on a plate.

Andy smiles and thanks you before taking a fork and devouring the cake with you still curled in his lap.

“So… do you like it…?” you ask, playing with your fingers.

He hums, pretending to think before kissing your pout, “it’s wonderful, baby, just like you.”

Your pout becomes a laugh and you clap your hands, cheerful at your accomplishments. Andy takes another slice from the container and starts feeding you.

Happy as ever, your daddy feeds you the entire slice before setting down the plate and fork.

“Is daddy feeling any better?” you ask.

Andy lifts and adjusts you in his lap so you’re straddling him, “much better. I knew my princess could cheer me up. You always do!”

Smiling, you wrap your arms around his neck, “good! ‘M really happy I could cheer daddy up.”

He kisses you again, placing his hands on your thighs and squeezing slightly, “I love you so much”

You try to ignore the sudden ache between your thighs and play with the collar of Andy’s dress shirt, “and I love you too!”

Your daddy notices how your body seemed to tense up and smirks, squeezing your thighs more, “you know… good girls deserve rewards.”

As if on cue, your breath catches in your throat. It wasn’t the first time you and Andy had sex in public, but the door wasn’t even locked! The blinds weren’t shut! Anyone could come in or glance through the window and see you both…

Those thoughts are interrupted when you feel Andy’s hand slipping under the hem of your skirt, but he stops before moving his fingers closer to your heat.

“Are you wearing panties?” his voice is deep when he asks.

“N-no,” you stutter out, suddenly mind fussy, “c-cause daddy told me not to w-when I’m with him…”

“Good girl,” his hand moves closer to your core, finding your clit easily, and begins to rub circles, making your breath quicken.

Unconsciously, your hips press forward against Andy’s clothed length, desperate for more contact. That just makes him chuckle and rub his thumb more harshly against your pearl, “so desperate already, aren’t you?”

Whimpering in response, your gaze slowly moves down to his bulge before Andy’s other hand grabs your chin and forces you to look at him, “Use your words. Tell me what you want.”

Your mouth opens to speak but closes before you can actually say anything. Your daddy moves his hand away from your clit and uses his free hand to wrap around your neck.

“You’ve been a good girl up until now. I know you can keep up that behavior. Now speak,” he growls, fingers tightening around your small neck before releasing to let you talk.

Taking a small gasp of air and blinking back tears, you quickly force out your words, “I want y-you.”

Andy returns his finger to your clit and nods for you to undo his dress pants. You quickly unbutton them, reaching your hand to pull out his length. Biting your lip, you rub the head of his cock along your folds and ease yourself on top, moaning as he stretched you out just how you liked it.

“Good… good girl,” he groans and cups your face with his free hand, kissing you slowly as you start to roll your hips, making you whimper into his mouth.

Your daddy rubs your clit faster, thrusting up into you to urge you as you both chase release. His hand moves from your cheek, slipping underneath your blouse to massage your tit. You gasp quietly when he rolls your nipple between his fingers, pinching slightly.

Soon enough, your head falls onto Andy’s shoulder, and the rolling of your hips becomes stuttered, “doing so well, kitten,” he mumbles.

“I-I’m gonna c-c-come,” and at one thrust that hits your G spot just right your bundle or nerves fall apart, the waves of your orgasm crashing over you. Your body trembles as more and more sinful sounds fall from your lips.

The way you bounced on top of his cock, the way your face contorted as you let the pleasure consume you, it drove Andy to his own release, creaming your cunt as he kept thrusting into you, helping to ride out both of your highs.

“That’s good- oh you’re so- so good for me, princess,” he breathes out, smiling as he kisses your neck, making you giggle.

You start to pull off his cock when he stops you, “how’d you like to cockwarm daddy while he finishes up some work, huh? How’s that sound?”

Nodding, you let your body collapse against his as he stands, wrapping your legs around his waist as he carries you to his desk chair. Not yet out of subspace, Andy slips a hand under your blouse to rub your back and hum soothingly, helping to lull you into a nap.

༺❀༻

Andy cancels his final meeting of the day to let you rest, only waking you when it’s time to come home. He carefully carries you to his car, drives you both back to the house, and helps you into the bath. He uses your favourite bath bomb and favourite scents to help soothe you as well!

He carries you back out to the bedroom and begins to dress you in a soft satin nightgown before you whimper and make grabby hands for one of his T-shirts.

“Of course,” Andy chuckles and grabs the shirt for you, helping slip it over your head and making you giggle as the fabric swallows your frame. He pulls on a pair of boxers and you curl into him as he pulls the blanket around you both.

Your daddy kisses your forehead and smiles down at you, “good night, kitten.”

“Night, daddy, I love you,” you murmur, already half asleep and splayed out on Andy’s large chest.

“I love you too, y/n.”

Adonis Valley - Chapter 2 (First Draft)

Chapter Two

Suffocated By Fog

 The outside world was unmistakably covered by a thick fog, so thick that one could probably cut it with a knife.

She could barely make out her hand a few feet in front of her face, so she took a moment to orient herself. She could vaguely see the street stretching out on either side of her new house. Street lamps stood tall, but there were also moving shadows. Were those the creatures she’d seen in the pamphlet? She decided not to find out.

She glanced to her right and saw one slowly hobbling in her direction. It was still a ways away, but it moved fast for how it was dragging its body. Lumi didn’t want to be here when it got to closer.

So she headed in the opposite direction, to her left. She wasn’t entirely sure where she was going, but was sure that if she remembered the way she came, it would be easy enough to find her way back.

And so she just wandered.

She passed by buildings with all the lights off. She didn’t hear any noises from outside. Either the houses and shops were abandoned, or their owners were out, just like she was. She followed the path a ways further, noticing it spread out into a plaza. Was this the center of town?

In the center of the plaza, there was a large fountain, topped with a statue of what looked like an angel. It was hard to make out more than just the silhouette in the fog. Lumi wondered if it was actually a nice-looking statue, or just another horror waiting to be revealed when the fog vanished.

When did the fog vanish? She wasn’t sure.

She didn’t linger too long in the plaza, especially not when she saw the shadow folk stalking around. They were getting closer, and there were more of them now. If she wasn’t careful, she’d likely end up a victim. Of what? She didn’t want to find out. She needed a place to hideout until they were gone.

She passed the plaza and looked for the first building she could find with lights on. Surprisingly, it didn’t take too long. There was a decent-sized building with a neon sign lit up in a sickly green color. There were lights on past the windows.

Lumi could barely make out what the sign said. It was too foggy, too dark.

“Loveless Liquor? What kind of a name is that?”

But she didn’t question it too long. Whether it was a brewery or a bar, she didn’t care. It was hopefully safer inside than it was out.

She knocked on the door, before letting herself in. She knew she should have waited for someone to open the door, just in case that was how things were done here. But she couldn’t wait. It wasn’t safe.

She headed inside and was met, finally, with a clear view. It was an old-timey bar, full of pictures that she couldn’t make out from this distance. Road signs also hung on the walls, though she didn’t recognize any of the locations the signs were meant to point to.

A man looked up from the bar. He looked to be in his late forties, maybe early fifties, and wore something like a cowboy or country singer would back in the fifties. His bedazzled suit was a light brown, matching the cowboy hat atop his head. He had a thick moustache that covered a good portion of his upper lip.

He was strange-looking, almost like he didn’t fit the time setting, but he didn’t look too intimidating. He almost looked friendly.

He looked up and quirked a dark brow. “Hey there. Not seen you around here before.”

Something about that statement unsettled Lumi. Adonis Valley hadn’t shown up on the maps she’d checked before responding to the email, so she’d assumed that it was a community in the process of being built. The bartender’s words suggested otherwise.

“Yeah,” Lumi said nervously. “You could say I just moved here.”

He gave a knowing nod, as if he understood what vague words meant. Had he been tricked by the email too?

“Come have a seat. We’ve got whatever you like.”

“I don’t drink,” Lumi replied. “Never liked the taste. Had a weird twang to it. I’ll just sit.”

He motioned for her to head to any barstool she chose, so she chose the one furthest from the door.

“Don’t matter none whether you like alcohol or not. We’ve got literally everything.”

Literally everything? There were too many drinks in the world to suggest something like that, and yet he said it with confidence. Was he a strange hallucination cropped up from this fog-filled world? Lumi was no longer sure the answer was no.

She hesitated. “A Sprite, then?” she asked, almost hopefully.

He nodded and leaned down to get something from beneath the bar. She couldn’t see what, but she assumed there must have been some sort of mini fridge there.

He stood and offered her the green can. “Need a glass?” he asked.

She shook her head. “No, this is fine.”

She popped the tab and took a sip. Sure enough, it was nice and cold and bubbly. It was Sprite like she remembered it, a semblance of normality in this crazy world.

She took the time then to look around the room at the people in there.

There was bartender himself, who went back to a newspaper. For some reason, Lumi couldn’t make out the writing or make sense of the pictures. She didn’t know why. She didn’t like it.

There as a waitress, a bubbly, ditzy, blonde woman who looked like she stepped right out of the eighties. She looked like she would be a Cyndi Lauper fan, or perhaps that she might have been the woman herself. There was a strange, thick scar on her left temple. Her bangs were pushed back by a hairband, leaving the scar on full display. This woman too was seemingly plucked from a different time and placed in this strange valley.

There was a young couple sitting near the door. The boy had dirty blonde hair, spiked and gelled like some sort of nineties boy band member. He wore an ugly hoodie, worn sneakers, and torn jeans. The girl had her raven hair pulled into two braids which rested on her shoulders. She wore an old cardigan over a sweater and a long plaid skirt.

Perhaps the most normal of the bar’s inhabitants was the man in the corner. His dark, greasy hair rested uncombed and untamed. His hoodie was torn, resting over a polo and khaki shorts. His sneakers were caked in mud. He leaned against the wall, downing a beer in a glass mug. He was fairly big with a beer belly, and he looked grouchy as could be.

For a moment, their eyes met. His were dark grey, almost like the sea in a storm. She felt heat rise to her face, and she looked away. Just in time for the blonde woman to approach her.

“Hey, it’s good to have a new face around here.” She offered a smile too friendly for the fog-filled world outside. Her blonde hair had pink and purple highlights in it; Lumi only noticed that now. “I’m Donna. And you?”

Lumi forced an anxious smile. “Lumi,” she replied.

“Strange name. Is it short for anything?”

“Lumiette. Parents wanted a cool, new age sort of name. Seems that’s what they came up with.” Her shoulders rose then fell in a half-hearted shrug.

“Well, it’s a pretty name anyhow. First day here?”

The fact that she could tell so easily sent a chill down Lumi’s spine, but she nodded and forced her smile to remain on her face. “Yeah. How’d you tell?”

“You just had that look,” Donna said, as vague as could be. “We all had that look at one point or another.”

Lumi didn’t know what that meant, nor did she particularly care to know. It was probably bad news either way.

Luckily Donna got distracted enough when the young couple stood and headed for the door.

The young man raised his hand in farewell .”Later. Stay safe, alright?”

“Have a good day,” the braided girl added.

Donna waved at them. “You better come back here alive, you hear me?”

They talked about it so casually. Staying safe, being alive – it all felt wrong. It made her stomach churn to the point where not even the Sprite could ease her stomach. She needed to leave soon.

She downed the rest of her sSrite, then fumbled in her bag.

“Huh?”

Her wallet was missing. She knew she’d had it this morning when she’d gotten on the train, but now it was gone. She had everything else in her bag. Or so she thought.

“That’s weird.”

She felt her pockets. Empty. She dug through her bag again. It wasn’t there. Her phone was gone too. Her gaming consoles weren’t there either. She’d packed them to help pass the time, but they were also gone.

She didn’t like this one bit.

“Looking for something?” the bartender asked.

The way he spoke sent a chill down Lumi’s spine. “My wallet. I, uh… I must have left it at home.”

The bartender just chuckled, like he expected it. Had he taken her wallet? How could he have done that though? But her house had been unlocked when she woke up…

She needed to leave. She needed to go right now.

Donna put a hand on her shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. It was supposed to be comforting gesture, but it only brought Lumi more anxiety.

“Don’t worry about it,” Donna said. “You don’t need to pay for anything here.”

Lumi swallowed hard. What was this community? Some kind of a cult? She had to get out of here, before the demons could catch, before the people could sacrifice her to whatever crazy gods they surely worshipped.

“W-well, I’ll be going then.” Lumi’s voice cracked and she gave nervous laugh.

Even when she headed for the door, she could still feel eyes on her. This was bad, bad, bad. She’d feel safer in her new home. She just had to make it there alive.

She excused herself from the bar and headed outside, just in time to freeze in her tracks.

The girl from earlier had something – something – stuck through her stomach. Pierced through her stomach. She coughed and hacked, blood splattering on her cardigan as she did so. She looked up at the blonde guy through desperate eyes.

“Justin,” she croaked out.

The thing through her stomach pulsated. Lumi almost emptied her stomach then and there. The blackness literally tore the girl apart into so many tiny, bloody pieces. Lumi was going to be sick.

“You bastard!” the blonde, apparently named Justin, cried out. He ran to punch the shadow in its face. But it just turned to him with a sickening creak. Its mouth spread wide in a bloody, gaping smile.

Lumi opened her mouth to scream, to warn Justin to be careful. She never got the chance.

A hand covered her mouth, muffling her cry, while another arm wrapped around her stomach and pulled her back inside. The figure behind her crouched, pulling her down with him.

The hand covered her mouth was removed, and she looked over her shoulder to see the grouchy guy from before. He raised a pudgy finger to his lips, shushing her. He then flicked the lights off and motioned for the others to hide.

Lumi locked the door just in case, before falling back into the man. Her mind was spinning, or perhaps it was the world around her. Nothing made sense. It was wrong, all wrong.

“What… What happened to them?” she barely choked out.

The man shook his head. “Seems they got a shadow agitated,” he said in a hushed whisper. “Wouldn’t recommend it, by the way.”

She stifled a gag by covering her mouth.

The man holding her looked to Donna. “Donna, we’re gonna need a trash can.”

She had just enough time to fetch one before Lumi threw up then promptly faded. Seemed she’d have to get answers later.
