Wilf and Sophie were both frozen in place, unable to move, unable to speak. The water from the dropped glass continued to soak into Sophie's blouse, hand buried in her joggers, fingers still pressed against her damp panties, dildo held in her other hand mere inches from her face. Wilfs eyes flicked between the box filled with sex toys and the barely legal girl in front of him, knowing there was only one possible explanation but still being unwilling to accept it. Her small, perky breasts were visible due to the wet top she was wearing, nipples pushing against the fabric, stiff, sensitive and begging to be sucked on. Sophie's face was a vision of panic and horror and after what felt like forever, finally she moved, dropping the phallic sex toy and pulling her hand out of her pants. A single tear ran down her cheek as the emotions she was experiencing overwhelmed her.
"I'm sorry... Mr Dewhurst," she sobbed weakly.
Seeing the young woman in such an obvious state of distress, Wilfred's fatherly instincts kicked in, turning to grab his dressing gown which was hanging on the door behind him. He knelt down beside her and wrapped it around her to protect her modesty, picking up the dildo and dropping it back into the box, closing the lid.
"It's ok," he whispered softly, "It's ok Sophie." She couldn't look him in the eye, head dropping as she stared at the floor, tears starting to fall. She had messed up, badly. She had invaded this man's privacy, found something she wasn't supposed to and worst of all, she was turned on by it. She didn't know how to feel, her mind a whirling cyclone of conflicting emotions.
Pushing the box back under the bed, Wilf stood up, offering the young woman his hand. "Get up Sophie," he said warmly, trying his best to keep her calm. She looked up at his hand for a second, debating whether to accept the offer or not. Finally, she reached out to him, realizing too late that the hand she extended was the very same one that had just been rubbing her pussy through her knickers. Wilf felt a spot of wetness on his hand, but he ignored it as he helped her up, offering her a spot on the bed and sitting down next to her. Reaching over to the nightstand for a box of tissues, he offered one to Sophie. She gladly accepted it, whispering her thanks as she dabbed at her eyes and took deep breaths, trying to calm her mind.
Finally, she stammered out a few words. "Are you... going to fire me Mr Dewhurst?" She asked, a look of fear in her eyes. "Are you going to tell my Mum?" The second question caused the waterworks to start up again. She was the only child, her mum had always been so proud of her, for her studies, for how kind she was to others and now she was terrified that it would all be ruined by this one indiscretion.
Wilf sighed softly. "No Sophie, I'm not going to fire you. Nor am I going to tell your mother."
"Really?" Sophie asked, excited desperation in her voice as she grabbed onto the elderly man's arm.
"Really," Wilf answered softly, putting a hand on hers. "I have grandchildren around your age, so I understand. You just made a mistake, that's all, but I'm not angry with you, okay Sophie?"
"Are you sure?" She replied, apprehensively.
"I'm sure," Wilf replied, offering her another tissue to wipe her eyes.
"Thank you," Sophie whispered softly, relief washing over her. Her heart was still pounding at a million miles an hour, but at least her mum wouldn't find out what had happened.
"In terms of what happens next, I'm going to leave that up to you Sophie. It looks like you've done a great job with the cleaning today." Sophie smiled softly at the compliment. "So if you want to come back tomorrow so you can carry on, you are more than welcome to."
"Okay," Sophie said softly.
"And in regards to all this," he gestured towards where the box was hidden under the bed, "If you want to, we don't ever have to speak about it again."
Sophie couldn't believe how kind he was being about all of this. She had broken his trust and most people would have screamed at her and kicked her out of the house, but not Wilf. Her heart fluttered softly as she looked up at him and felt a gentle tingle between her legs. She was probably just confused, it was such a bizarre situation to be in, her body didn't know how to react. She looked him in the eyes for the first time since he had caught her as he continued to speak.
"But I've been around for a very long time. I don't consider what you found to be shameful, I was just surprised when I came in. So if you do want to talk about it, then we can. But that's entirely up to you, and if it's too much for you and you don't come back tomorrow, I'll understand, okay?"
As they looked into each other's eyes, Sophie was overcome by how kind and sincere they were. There was a softness in his eyes that reminded her of her own father. He really, truly meant what he was saying, he wasn't just trying to make her feel better. Dabbing her eyes of her final tears, she stood up, composing herself before turning to Wilf, who was still sitting on the bed.
