Jade sat and digested that information, swirling it around in her brain. Then she asked the only question she could think of. “Are you a Daddy?”

Chapter Four

Ryan

Pastor Ryan swallowed at her blunt question. He could feel her eyes on him, and Baze’s as well, both of them waiting for him to answer.

He felt cracked open, exposed and vulnerable, like his chest had been ripped open and they were peering over him, examining his heart. How should he answer? Was he even ready to?

Again he cast his eyes toward the ceiling and again he felt only lightness and peace.

“That’s a really tough question to answer, but I believe honesty is always the best policy so that’s what I’m going to try to give you.”

Her eyes locked on his, Jade bobbed her head up and down, nodding her agreement, waiting for him to continue.

“The honest answer is I didn’t think I was, but I think I’d like to be yours. Even more honestly, as much as I’d like that, I don’t know if I’m ready.”

As he spoke, Jade kept nodding, encouraging him with every word. Finally she stopped and exhaled sharply. “I think I’d like that too, but I don’t know… I don’t want to get hurt.” She furrowed her brows and turned to Baze. “What… what do we do now?”

Ryan wanted to know the answer to that too. Luckily Baze seemed to know.

“I have an idea. It’s just an idea. You both have to agree to it and I won’t be upset no matter what you decide. Okay?”

He looked at them both, Jade first, and then Ryan.

“Okay, Mister Daddy.”

“Okay,” Ryan agreed.

“Jade, you know you’re in trouble and you know you’re going to be spanked, and probably have another consequence as well. I’m going to give you three options for your spanking. Are you ready?”

“Yes, Mister Daddy. I’m ready. What are my options?”

“Well, Pastor Ryan can leave and I can spank you in private like I always do, or I can spank you while Ryan watches and he can get a better idea of what the lifestyle entails and if it might be for him, or the third option, if you both agree, Pastor Ryan can spank you and I will stay and supervise.”

Ryan’s throat went dry and his palms grew damp. Jade looked at him, and he looked at her. Neither of them said a thing.

Finally she spoke. “What… what do you want to do, um, Pastor Ryan, um, Sir?”

He shook his head. He wanted the decision to be hers, but he understood that she needed guidance on what he might be thinking. He cleared his throat. “I would be okay with any of those options,” he answered honestly, secretly hoping that she didn’t pick the first one.

She held his gaze, staring him down for a full minute, and then she jerked her head to look at Baze. “I pick option three.”

Jade

Holy crap. She couldn’t believe this was happening, but then again, she totally could. She’d followed her heart and decided to live her authentic truth and look what had happened! Pastor Ryan thought he might want to be her Daddy!

It was a little daunting that he was so inexperienced and new to the lifestyle and almost comical that Baze would be basically coaching him through spanking her, but it was also endearing.

Although, right now, in the moment, she was mostly nervous, waiting to see how this all would unfold and what would happen next.

They all looked at each other and then Baze stood, springing into action. “Pastor Ryan—”

“Just Ryan, please.”

“Right. Ryan, take the chair you are sitting on and bring it over to the other side of the bed, facing toward it. I will be sitting on the bed to supervise since there is only the one chair.”

Jade watched as Ryan did as instructed. It was a little strange seeing Baze orchestrate a punishment he wouldn’t be giving, but it was also cute how much he cared for her that he was open to letting things unfold in a way that might be beneficial to her future.
