I hate it when he calls me 'daddy's girl'. It's so infantilizing, so degrading. I'm 33. I try to correct him, try to gently suggest other nicknames even 'pumpkin' would be better but he's old. But he's not THAT old, he's not senile or anything, he's just set in his ways.
"Just let him have it," Mom pleads on his behalf, "You'll miss us when we're gone." She reminds me how badly she wanted a daughter & how long it had taken to conceive that third child, how grateful she'd been when she'd finally been given the girl she always prayed for. She lays it on thick, the clever old bird, she knows how to get her own way. It's a well-tread refrain.
Strangely, even though the walls of their house are lined with childhood photos, mostly of me (dressed in frilly church dresses & surrounded by stuffed animals), despite her desperation for a daughter, I've always been closer to Dad. It was as if after longing for a perfect little girl, the one who'd arrived hadn't 'quite' lived up to the fantasy. She'd focussed instead on my two big brothers, after I'd been born she'd leaned right into her role as 'boy-Mom'. So when Dad insisted on calling me 'daddy's girl' I knew it was innocent. I knew it came from love, even though I still cringed.
I only came out to my parents a few years ago. I'd always had girlfriends, & had only tried a boy once (perhaps to assure myself that yes, I was REALLY gay, & I was definitely not going to meet Mom's expectations). It had been messy, coming out. Mom had been on my case about bringing someone home for the semester break. "A nice boy," she'd urged, "I don't want you to die alone." Perhaps spitefully, I'd brought home my girlfriend. We'd been seeing each other on & off for a couple of years by then, we were even living with each other in Portland. I had warned Amari first, after all, she had the double strikes of being both a lesbian & a black woman. Not that my parents are racist, just that coming out in general can result in awkwardness, accidental microaggressions & so-on.
We're still together, Amari & I, five years & going semi-strong. We'd been going through a period of Lesbian Sex Death (look it up if you're curious) that had started during lockdown. The drought broke at a friend's place as we cat-sat while they went on a LGBT+ cruise. That day had started with fingering in the kitchen & cunnilingus on the sofa. Finally, Amari was bracing herself with her hands on the 6th floor window, her jeans pulled down past her knees & I was screwing her from behind with our strap-on.
She has the sexiest, sloppiest cunt. I love fucking her with the dildo, I love how her shaved black vagina opens up to a bright pink flower, the contrast, how she fills with creamy pussy juice, how I can feel it flicking on my thighs as I pound in & out of her. I love the sounds she makes, how afterwards she crumbles into my arms & we laugh & talk & soak up the warmth of each other. I love Amari. Even though we fight a lot. Even though we've broken up a few times, & each of us has cheated, we've gone through highs & lows, we keep coming back to each other.
I was fucking her with the dildo, enjoying the view of her swelling & twitching wet pussy, her dark asshole with sweat running between her cheeks. Her labia like delicate flower petals trembling with every penetration, when she said "Oh my God, look over there! We're not the only ones getting some Afternoon Delight!"
We laughed, giggling, & it interrupted my rhythm, making me need to focus on restarting the tempo. As I thrusted she pointed through the window at her discovery. Sure enough, across the road, a straight couple were getting their freak on, their curtains also wide open, just a floor beneath us & slightly to the right.
"Oh, Am," I laughed, "they're fucking KINKY! Should we try & get their attention?"
"Just fuck me," she'd ordered, "this is so hot. It's like free porn, I just wish it was another queer couple, not an old geezer & skinny chick." I slowed my pumping just a little, trying to see better, she'd obviously had a clearer view being able to pick out those details. My whole body suddenly went cold, I lost my wide-on, froze mid-thrust, horrified.
"Bitch!" Amari hissed, "bitch, I'm so close, what the fuck?"
But I was as petrified, as if Medusa had stared at me from the window. I pulled the silicone phallus out of her. She was furious, frustrated, but she took one look at my face & went quiet. "Talk to me, babe," she gently soothed, pulling her jeans up over her wet inner thighs. I kept thinking 'daddy's girl, he calls me daddy's girl.'
In the apartment building across from our voyeuristic viewpoint, my father, my 60 year old conservative Dad, who drank from a mug that said 'I should be fishing' & always gave me the same Anais Anais fragrance gift-set for my birthday, ever since I'd told him I'd liked it when I was 14. THAT Dad, who was soon going to celebrate his 40th wedding anniversary with my Mom, was naked, on his knees, his hands bound behind him, using his teeth to slowly pull a chain of the LARGEST green anal beads I'd ever seen, from a tattooed woman who looked younger than me. With horror, I saw that from his own asshole, lay what appeared to be a huge rubbery lizard tail attached to a buttplug.
I felt bile rising in my throat. "What?" Amari pressed, "Babe, I'm really worried - oh my God, is THAT-?" & she'd tried to cover my eyes, like I was a child who'd walked in on her parents wrapping Christmas presents. I realised I was still naked aside from the bobbing strap-on & my wet panties. I undid the clasps on the straps, stepped out of both, grabbed a throw blanket from the sofa where we'd eaten each other out & wrapped myself & Amari up.
She was asking questions, rapid-fire, questions that fell upon me like raindrops, so I could barely differentiate one from the other, only knowing I was being soaked by them. "God, babe, I'm so sorry, are you OK? Did you have any idea? Is he having an affair? Are we sure that's him? Do you think Rosemary knows? Who's that woman? God, she looks so young. Do you think she's a sex worker? She must be, mustn't she? Are you OK? Is he a sugar-daddy? Did you know what he was into? Were there any clues? How long do you think this has been going on? Do your brothers know about her?" & finally, "why are we watching this?" I was asking myself the same thing,
I couldn't seem to tear myself away. It was as if I had to see everything, had to witness it to make sure it was real. Didn't want him to do something I didn't catch, because obviously, he'd been getting away with it so far. I was angry, I felt betrayed, I felt so many complicated emotional wounds opening up as I watched, spellbound, the pornographic, disturbing activities my father was doing with this young mystery woman.
When the last, massive anal bead came free from her (I noticed) bleached asshole she'd squirted a small stream of clear fluid from her pussy. She'd turned, & gently pushed Dad's head down so he lapped at the puddle from the hardwood floor. As he tilted forward the lizard-tail swung almost lifelike beneath his tied hands.
