It's winter break and the kids are home from college for the holiday. It's hard to believe I have kids in college, but I do. Two of them, two wonderful kids. A boy, or should I say young man, and Meghan, my beautiful daughter. Cade is a senior at the local university while Meghan is a junior attending school out in the western part of the country. Dawn, my wife, and I had settled into being empty nesters shortly after Meghan had left for school. The grocery bill is less, laundry is basically nothing each week, there is only one or two bags of trash per week, and the house is quiet. Boy, do I hate the quiet house. Dawn enjoys it, but I really miss the chaos of the kids and their friends coming and going. You would think that the empty house would allow Dawn and I to rediscover our sex life. But, Dawn still doesn't seem to have an interest which leaves me with my current addiction to porn and jerking off.
It's probably worth noting that Dawn and I are in our late forties and still look really good for our age, especially when I compare us to our friends. I'm five foot nine, one hundred and sixty pounds with brown hair and deep blue eyes. I'm not necessarily muscular, but certainly in shape. I try to eat well and I do exercise at least five times per week. Admittedly, I have noticed a bit of a belly starting to develop so I think I need to cut back on the late night ice cream before bed. Dawn is five foot three and a hundred and twenty pounds. She has mid length dark hair, hazel eyes, smaller sized breasts and an ass to absolutely die for. Like me, she eats well and is in great shape.
For as long as I can remember our house has always been the hang out for both Cade's and Meghan's friends. Apparently we are the "cool" parents. I'm not sure if we are "cool", but we always felt that if we treated them with respect, they would do the same towards us. Of course this has not always been the case, but for the most part I think it has worked out well. We've had the opportunity to really get to know most of them. Best of all, we knew where our kids were because they were at our house!
As they got older we would occasionally let them have a few drinks at our house with the understanding that no one is to leave. It was always just a small group of four or five friends in the basement hanging out. Dawn and I would make it a point to check in to make sure there was no funny business going on.
So, the kids had been home for a few days and it was great to see them. Cade had been coming and going trying to catch up with his old high school friends as much as possible. Meghan has been working in order to save up some spending money for next semester. She finally came to understand that the bars at school are not cheap so money is of the essence.
"Dad, is it okay if I head up North to Alex's ski cabin for a few days," read the text from Cade. "I'll be home on the twenty-third so there won't be any impact to our Christmas plans."
This was the hard part about having the kids home from school. Selfishly I want to say no because I want to see him as much as I can. But, he's a man now and I can't stand in the way of his independence.
"No problem, just make sure you see Mom before you take off," I replied.
"Of course I will. Thanks!"
A few hours after Cade had come and gone and I'm sitting at the kitchen island checking out the local news on my laptop when in through the door comes Meghan.
"Hi honey, how was work?" I asked.
"It was okay, nothing special. Hey Dad, is it okay if I have a few friends over tonight to hang in the basement? We're all working and trying to save money so we are avoiding the bar scene as much as possible."
"I'm fine with it as long as your mother is too," I replied. "Who is coming over?"
"Just a few of my girlfriends from high school. Don't worry, no guys are coming," she said with a smile.
"Hey, you're twenty-one so I would hope you would be past sneaking the boys in the back door to hang out," I jokingly replied. "I'm not prying, but who is coming? Just curious as I haven't seen any of your friends since the summer."
"It will probably just be Laura, Allison and Sarah,"
"All good kids, do you mind if I say hi when they get here?" I asked.
"Of course not! They are all excited to see you and mom," she said. "I'm going up to shower before they get here."
About an hour later the front door opened and in walked Meghen's friends. We have an open door policy so it is not uncommon for the friends to walk in as if they live with us.
"Hello ladies!" said Dawn excitedly.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Jones," replied Allison loudly walking quickly towards Dawn with her arms extended for a hug.
They hugged briefly until Dawn pushed her away gently.
"Remember what we said last time you were all here. You're twenty-one years old, please call us Dawn and Mark,"
"I know, but it's hard because you've always been Mr. and Mrs. Jones."
We all exchanged hugs and pleasantries while waiting for Meghan to come down from her shower. The ladies all looked fantastic and said school was great. Being home was great, but they truthfully wanted to go back to school to enjoy their freedom. Finally, Meghan appeared and they all retreated to the basement to raid our refrigerator and do whatever it is that twenty-one year old ladies do together.
Dawn and I wound up in the living room with a couple of bottles of wine watching television. To be clear, there were two bottles of wine with us, but I was doing most of the damage. We could hear the ladies laughing and screaming from the basement so they were certainly having fun. Every once in a while one would come upstairs to use the restroom, but other than that they stayed downstairs.
It was getting late and Dawn had fallen asleep on the couch. I got up from my chair and woke her with a gentle nudge.
"Hey, why don't you go up to bed. I'll clean up down here and be up after the game."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, get some rest and I'll see you in the morning. Love you."
"Love you too," she said groggily as she headed upstairs.
I poured myself another glass of wine and settled in to watch the rest of the game. The wine had me very relaxed and I dozed in and out of sleep.
"Dad," I heard as I felt my shoulder being shaken.
I woke to see Meghan standing over me in her pajamas.
"Oh, hi honey. I must have dozed off. Is everything okay?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Laura and Sarah went home. Before you ask, Sarah did not drink so she drove. Allison is staying over because we are getting up early to go to the gym and to breakfast. She is on the couch in the basement." she said, giving me a kiss on my forehead.
"Okay, sweetie. I hope you had fun tonight. I love you."
"Love you too," she said as she turned to head for her room.
I looked up at the television and the game was still on so I decided to watch the rest. I poured what was left of the second bottle of wine and relaxed in my chair. The game was a dud with the local team losing or should I say getting crushed. I cruised through the channels basically just wasting time until I finished my wine. I was definitely buzzed, but not drunk as I sat and watched the end of a west coast basketball game. When the game was over, I began to prepare the house for the night. I placed my wine glass in the sink after disposing of the two empty wine bottles in the recycling bin. I then shut off the lights and locked the doors on the first floor. I went to open the basement door to lock up down there, when I remembered that Allison was sleeping over. It's not like we live in a high crime area, but I do like to make sure everything is locked because you never know what could happen on any given night. I stood at the door trying to figure out what to do without waking and probably scaring the shit out of Allison.
I could go outside to check the doors, but that may be even worse if she wakes to some shadow outside rattling the doorknob. I decided to just quietly go down stairs in hopes of not waking her. I removed my shoes so that I was only in my socks and slowly turned the doorknob to pull it open. As softly as I could, I walked down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs I could go either right or left. To the right is the mudroom and garage. To the left is the living area with the couches and television where Allison was sleeping. I noticed that the small light in the living area was lit. Figuring Allison had fallen asleep with the light on I quietly went left to check the door and turn the light off. I rounded the corner and looked to the couch expecting a passed out Allison. Instead, what I saw shocked me. Allison was sitting up with her back against the arm of the couch naked from the waste down. Her right hand was playing with her pussy while her left hand held her phone. We immediately made eye contact. I was shocked and didn't know what to say.
