Henry âHalâ Taylor had always got on well with his daughter, Laurie. Since she was 14 she had been joining him in just about all his interests, from fishing to shooting, and even chilling out in front of the TV with a six-pack. Theyâd gotten close.
Of course, âcloseâ is relative. The Taylors were residents of the Bible Belt (though never the church-going sorts), living in cowboy country among truckers, bikers, mormons and right-wing self-reliance militias. And they fit right in. So, being little more than white trash, âcloseâ does not mean heartfelt mutual respect and love on a deep level, but more in the vein of âbuddiesâ.
Hal was always aware of Laurieâs attractiveness, and once in a while stole a look at her body, but he didnât think much about her in a sexual way. Although, sometimes the way she dressed made it hard not to. There was no doubt that she worked up some sexual experience early on; by the time she was 15 she had a new boyfriend every month.
But she never shirked their father-daughter moments - the shooting, the beer-soaked TV watching... that was a mainstay of their lives.
On her 18th birthday she was out partying with her friends (what else?). She got back around 3 AM, and Hal was still watching TV. Laurie threw herself down on the couch next to him.
She was wearing a very short, red accordion-folded nylon skirt and a very tight black blouse. Hal congratulated her on her birthday. She laid herself on his lap, facing him. Absentmindedly Hal put a hand on her nearly bare stomach and rested it there.
After a while of watching TV she turned her face up towards him and said, âDad - kiss me.â Hal bent down to give her a father-daughter peck on the mouth, but Laurie took hold of his head and did not let go until she had treated his mouth to an eight-second French kiss. Hal did not resist, but enjoyed it. It was what she wanted, and it being her birthday and all, she should have what she wanted. He didnât think anything of it.
After breaking their mouths apart, he gave her a smile with his trained âyouâre a naughty little girl!â look, and then just kept on watching TV. Heâd noticed that Laurie was tasting somewhat of liquor, but that was to be expected.
A few minutes later, Laurie having stayed in position, she wanted more. âDad - one more kiss. Please.â Okay, thought Hal, one more. This one was even longer and hotter. Laurie let her tongue roam and roll all over Halâs, and he did feel a slight stirring âdown belowâ.
When he lifted his face off of her, he suddenly saw that she had unbuttoned her blouse. He didnât feel defensive or shocked; he simply thought, âwow! Look at those grade-A boobs on my baby girl!â Laurie was encouraged by his impressed expression, and said, âI think a father should know how his daughter is coming along... go ahead, feel my breasts. Arenât they nice?â
Hal hesitated only for a second before he placed his left hand on his daughterâs naked skin and ran it across her right breast. âOh, theyâre very, very nice, baby. You certainly are growing into a fine woman!â Now, at this point Hal still wasnât anywhere near to thinking of actually having sex with his daughter, so when she next said, âWant to lick them?â, he flinched.
âWh...?! Young lady, I think youâre drunk!â She looked disappointed for the briefest moment, and then smiled. âA little!â
With that, Hal sent her off to bed. âYou better get some sleep, you hear! After all, tomorrow is a working day!â
In the weeks that followed, Laurie now and then insisted on soliciting her fatherâs opinion of her body, and giving him a good look at her charms to boot. This was always during their TV sessions, and after a few beers.
