#being-kept

I need a daddy. Not in a performative way—not for roleplay or cutesy scripts. I need someone who actually sees the parts of me that fall apart without structure. Someone who knows how to step in when I’m spiraling, who doesn’t flinch at the mess, and who doesn’t make me feel like a project.

It’s not about calling someone “daddy” because it’s hot. It’s about what that role means to me. I want to be cared for in a way that’s steady and protective. I want someone who gives me rules and checks in when I’ve gone too quiet. Someone who knows when I need correction and when I just need reassurance. Someone who doesn’t just tell me I’m safe—proves it.

I’m stepping into something new right now—something that scares me more than I expected. And it’s making me realize how badly I crave containment. I don’t need someone to fix it. I just want someone to hold the space around me. To be bigger than the fear.

I feel most like my little self when I crawl into bed or settle into a Daddy’s lap. That’s when the pressure lifts—when I stop trying to hold everything together. I don’t have to perform. I don’t have to be in charge. I can just be small. Still. Safe.

Sometimes I just need someone to stroke me like I’m theirs. Not in a hurried way, not as a warm-up to something else, but like I’m their pet. Like touching me is its own kind of care. Its own kind of claim.

It’s hard to ask for that kind of attention, though. It feels risky. Shame creeps in the moment I speak the need out loud—because if they say no, I don’t just feel rejected. I feel stupid for wanting it in the first place.

But when I’m told I’m a good girl, something shifts. I get warm. I get eager. I feel this soft, desperate pride in being good—good enough to please him, to serve him, to be kept. It makes me want to offer more. To behave. To be cherished and useful and easy to guide.
