“T-T-T-FUCK YOU!”

She was clearly trying to get me to punish her, but she looked so transparent and almost adorable there that I just started to laugh again, despite my best efforts. She looked furious, which just made me laugh harder. I kicked myself to my feet it was too late to salvage this the way I’d intended to. Instead...I smiled, “Diamond, thanks so much for lunch. Asa and I should return the favor. Noon, tomorrow?”

“Of course,” Diamond said, clearly caught off balance, but recovering smoothly.

“Here, let me give you our address,” I said, writing it down on a nearby piece of paper and passing it to her. I was confident she’d get the idea. I gave her Asa’s address, not mine, as Chloe spluttered furiously and incomprehensibly.

I got up and started towards the door, only for her to chase after me into the living room and literally grab me, she tried to spin me around, but just wasn’t strong enough. Instead, after a moment, I turned, like she’d just tapped me on the shoulder.

She tried to slap me and I casually caught her arm out of the air. She tried to knee me in the balls and I casually pushed her back, sending her stumbling onto the couch, landing legs akimbo. “Stay down, kiddo,” I ordered and she froze. +4 SP (Chloe: +51) “You won’t win a fight with me, but you’re adorable,” I patted her condescendingly on her head. Again, she looked furious, but also determined and aroused.

I couldn’t help chuckling as I left. I might have been able to get further, it was obvious that she wanted something from me, but I wasn’t entirely sure what. Did she want to be overpowered? Or babbied? Or punished? Or denied? Or to dominate? I didn’t think it could be that last one, despite how she acted. The obvious thing was that she was looking for a new man who could do everything her father did for her and fuck her, but...there was an undercurrent of something else.

I was driving to Asa’s, just in case Chloe followed immediately. Asa was off on another shoot, but I had a key and permission. My brain kept circling back to Chloe though. Dominating her in front of Diamond and Andre would be hot, it wouldn’t be—oh, shit, of course it would have been wise. If things went wrong, they’d be on my side and wouldn’t hesitate to lie for me. Witnesses who had no visible reason to lie. Fuck. If I hadn’t burst out laughing when she basically invited me to ‘bend her over’…

Ah, well, she clearly wanted the chase and I’d given her more of that and maybe her checkpoint would offer insight. I flicked it up as I headed over, though I’d want Diamond’s input, as this was all about her. Indeed, even as I did so, Diamond was calling me. I put it on speaker as I drove and looked over the options.

She laughed. “That wasn’t nice, Eli.”

“She’s just...her reaction is hilarious to me for some reason.”

“Oh, since it’s so clearly not actually a threat, to you, she’s like one of those gifs of a kitten attacking a great dane.”

I laughed at the description, it was accurate. But I didn’t miss the emphasis she’d put on those words. Chloe wasn’t a threat to me, because of Diamond and the app, otherwise, a rich teenage bitch who clearly had no hesitation in using her wealth, power and status to harm would have been an existential threat. And she was exactly that to other people in my shoes who lacked those advantages.

New Daddy: Chloe subconsciously knows she can’t make it on her own and so has been looking for a new daddy who can give her the sex she wants and take care of her, now that her father has turned his attention to Kali. This fetish makes her weak to dominance and proof of capability to protect/provide.

Proving It: Chloe is **** to prove she’s an independent, strong woman who can take care of herself, but doesn’t know how. Any direction you provide in how to do this is likely to be embraced wholeheartedly.

Karen: Chloe is a Karen, she knows it, you know it, so more than anything else, she fears the traditional Karen punishment of recording her and posting it online. Once you’ve got a recording of her, she’ll be your little **** bitch.

“This is your call, Diamond. How should be handle Chloe?”

“Karen is obviously fastest…but she might go to Max and it’s risky. She’s not exactly smart or subtle, even without doing anything deliberate, she might give away that she was being blackmailed.”

Also, she’s not really a criminal monster who should be blackmailed into being a sex **** to help destroy her father, I thought, but didn’t say. She actually sort of was a monster, just not a criminal one…

“So, Proving It, or New Daddy?” I asked.

“Do you have a preference? Is one of them hotter to you than the other?”

“Not really,” I said. “I can make either work, depending on what you want to do with Proving It.”

“In that case, I think Proving It is the better choice. More flexible and doesn’t point Max directly at us. Most of it can be passed off as teenage rebellion…”

I smiled at the phone, though she couldn’t see it. “Sounds like you already know what you’re planning,” I said as I selected Proving It.

“Of course.”
