I thank you all very much for the feedback I received for my first four stories. This is my first attempt at a second chapter, so I hope it is to your liking.

Amy stretched her arms, basking in the sunlight streaming in through the window. She was tucked in with the sheets up to her neck, like she had slept so many nights at home. Yawning, she turned to her side and found the other part of the bed empty. At first she felt panic rush through her. Had last night been a dream? Had she become desperate enough to seek refuge in what could not be? Before she could take her line of thought any further she began to hear sizzling from the kitchen. She slowly got out of the bed, feeling a slight chill when her naked body left the warm covers. She grabbed the warm sheets and wrapped herself in them before stepping out.
In the kitchen she saw the strong frame of her father's back while he busied himself with the stove in front of him.
"Good morning, sweetpea. Did you sleep well?"
She yawned again and walked closer to him, getting to stand next to his large body, looking at the stove where eggs and bacon were being fried.
"Like a baby, daddy." She paused, still not sure whether it all had been a dream or not.
In response, her father leaned down and kissed her full on the lips, an action shared by lovers, full of tenderness and affection. As their lips met she knew that it was real. They had made love, and was now bound by a bond stronger than that of father and daughter. They were partners, in every sense of the word. As her father released the kiss his moustache brushed against her cheek.
"Sorry about that. I just wanted to make sure I was not dreaming."
Amy was smiling widely, her face lit up with joy.
"You never need to apologize for kissing me, daddy. I love you, and it's what lovers do."
Matthew smiled back at his daughter. "You're really the most perfect woman one could ever ask for. Now, go take a shower while I finish our meal. I want to bring up something once we're both fed."
Amy nodded and leaned up to plant a peck on his cheek. "As you say, daddy. I'll be right back."
She reluctantly moved away from him, tossing the sheets to the side and began to walk to the bathroom entirely nude. As she took a few steps away she could hear her father behind her.
"I think I can get used to this scene. You're absolutely beautiful."
She turned her head around and smiled warmly. "Anything for you, daddy." She blew a kiss towards him as she stepped into the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror as she passed it.
She could barely recognize herself. How long had it been since she had been truly happy, since her smile had been so genuine? She had what she most wanted in her entire life right nearby, and her father felt the same way. She had never felt so good as when they made love, and she could barely imagine how many more times they would join together in the future. She had the love of her life, and she had no intention of letting him go.
Amy rested her head in her father's lap, feeling content. The breakfast had been delicious, and now she was just basking in the wonderment she felt at being so close to her beloved. Matthew was slowly running his hand through her hair while he rubbed her back with his other.
"Amy, I have a question for you."
She sighed softly, enjoying the attention. "What is it, daddy?"
"Well, I feel happy beyond words right now. I'm pretty sure you're the same. However, we do have a small road-bump that needs to be taken care off."
Amy was still, fearing that she knew where this conversation was headed.
"Well, two actually. The first is... well, your mother. I didn't actually file for divorce yet."
Amy looked up at her father, meeting his gaze. "I know, daddy. What about it?"
Matthew smiled softly. "Do not worry, sweetpea. I'm just stating facts. Even if I do divorce her, we would need to hide our relationship. You have friends and colleagues here, we can't take too many risks."
Amy nodded slowly. "I could change my last name. It wouldn't be too weird."
Her father smiled gently. "That would not do too much if we stay here, I'm afraid. I know you love this town, you grew up here but..." He took a deep breath. "Amy, I love you, maybe more than I ever loved your mother. I want to be a proper partner for you. I don't want us to hide our love, I feel no shame in it. So I have a suggestion, even if I understand if you're hesitant."
Amy was looking intently at her father, trying to read between his words. With every passing second her heart felt lighter as she understood what her father was talking about. "Daddy, I would love to leave this place and start anew, as long as I'm with you. I want to be your wife."
He gave her his warmest smile and she saw him wipe away a tear. "Oh, Amy, you have no idea how happy you make me. Are you sure? We would face many struggles. What about your job?"
Amy lifted her head from her father's lap and kissed him tenderly. "I've never been more certain about anything in my life. As for my job..." She smiled happily. "I can ask for a transfer. There's several branch offices, I can get a position in one of those."
Matthew lifted her up gently and put her down on his lap. "You really are the best, sweetpea." He hugged her tightly, burying his face in her shoulder.
Amy thought she might explode from happiness just from the intimacy and the prospects of their future. She truly loved this man above all else, and they shared a bond stronger than any other. She lifted his head from her shoulder and looked deep into his eyes.
"Make love to me. I want to feel you inside me again."
Her father did not respond, he simply grasped her cheeks and kissed her deeply, his body pressed against her. She put her arms around his neck, leaning into him, letting her father set the pace. After a long moment he let go of her face, moving his hands down the edges of her dress. As he began to pull it upwards she broke the away and raised her arms, letting him remove the garb from her body, tossing it aside. Once the dress was gone he kissed her again, his hands roaming all over her body, touching her skin with a gentle tenderness.
"I want you so bad right now, daddy. Please, hurry..."
Matthew looked into her eyes and nodded, his hands seeking the hooks of her bra, releasing it in short order and discarding the underwear nearby. Amy moved her own hands downwards to his waist, beginning to fumble with the buttons and zipper, her concentration wavering as she felt herself nearly melt in her father's strong arms. As their lips met once again, she felt his hands reach down to hers to help, and soon the pants were undone so she could reach in and feel his warm member. It felt so right in her hand, like their shapes had been molded with their union in mind. She rubbed herself against the stiff shaft, her eagerness taking over.
