I'm in the mood for dancing, romancing
Ooh I'm giving it all tonight
I'm in the mood for chancing
I feel like dancing
Ooh so come on and hold me tight
I'm in the Mood for Dancing -- the Nolans

I wonder how many men have banged their daughter after the senior year Dad-Daughter dance? My own guess is that whilst it's probably way less than one-hundred it's not zero, at least not now I've fucked mine.

"You look pretty," I said to my eighteen year old daughter, Alice, as she descended the stairs wearing the dress I'd paid several hundred dollars for. I was, if anything, understating it as she looked radiant, the dress silvery blue with a shine to it which made my daughter's skin look even more flawless than normal. The straps over her shoulder were part hidden by her long black hair in a two tightly knotted pig-tail which swept down over them, swinging as she walked and drawing my eyes to her cleavage, the side of her pert breasts exposed but the more interesting bits concealed. It swept down, clinging to her smooth stomach and shapely hips down below her knees to just above her ankles and the matching high-heels.
She reached the final step and then onto the floor, slowly twirling round so that I could see all the dress, including the way it slid down her back, the V cut ending just inches above her waist. I didn't change my mind, imprinting the vision in my memory as she finished her twist to end up facing me again. I was sure I wasn't the only divorced Dad, seeing his daughter every other weekend since she was three, who had a sneaky jack-off as she hit the full flower of her loveliness in her senior year; and if I was, I didn't feel guilty about it, what no-one knew hurt no-one.
She stopped her twirl, "Do you think I'm pretty?" she smiled and before she I could confirm it she added, "You're biased." She was still smiling so even though I was she didn't seem to mind.
"Guilty as charged," I agreed with a grin.
"You're looking very handsome," she replied, taking a few steps forward to bridge the gap that separated us, before reaching up and adjusting my tie, or at least pretending to as I'd checked it was perfectly straight in the mirror before she came down.
"This old thing?" I replied, leaving it hanging whether I referring to myself or the suit. In neither case was it true; even if the suit hadn't cost quiet as much as the dress it was still new, though at least I'd get more wear of it than the dress, which would be worn twice -- tonight and for Prom in two weeks time. And as for myself, I may have been nearing fifty, but I was still fit and toned and if my hair had streaks of silver in its light brown it was still all my own and more than covered my scalp.
"I'm going to have to keep an eye on you," she countered, "Otherwise they'll be a hot cheerleader making off with you."
I gave her a hurt expression and covered my heart with my hand as if I'd be mortally injured by a mis-shot Cupid's arrow, "I'm all yours tonight, no-one can rival my date for her beauty and brains."
She laughed, "So it's not just my body you're interested in."
This was getting a little beyond normal Dad-daughter joshing, but I went with it, "Not just your body..."
She cackled wickedly, a broad smile across her face, "You're such a bad Dad, but I shall keep you to that promise..."
"I'm not sure I promised anything, if a hot cheerleader approaches me it'll be you fighting them off with a stick not me," I replied.
"Challenged accepted," she said, "The only hot teen you'll be allowed near tonight is moi." She pointed to herself to reinforce her point. "I'll be all the date you need."
Given since I'd divorced her Mom I had been on plenty of dates who sucked and/or fucked on the first night, I didn't think she would be, but I decided that we'd already gone far enough beyond the bounds of normal decorum and didn't say anything. Anyway despite the fake repartee it was obviously not a real date, but a school tradition where the fortnight before prom all the senior girls got together with their fathers to show off their prom dresses and do bad dad-dances whilst drinking nothing more powerful than fruit punch. It was good wholesome fun and whilst I had banged a couple of college girls in my time, picking up seniors was probably now beyond me, even if they hadn't all been chaperoned by overly protective Dads.
Instead I offered her my arm, "Your carriage awaits, my lady."
"Thank you kind sir," she answered and we walked arm in arm to my car parked in the drive outside.
I lived a couple of towns over from Alice's and her Mom (and current step-Dad, number three, though strictly speaking number two had never married her Mom even if they co-habited for five years) and the school was just under an hour's drive from my house. It was an easy drive and Alice and I talked as I sped down the highways, about college and jobs and whether she could afford a car with her work in a burger bar over the summer and what she thought about leaving school and home and travel and all the other things divorced Dads catch up with their daughters about. Every now and then I'd briefly turn from the road to ask a question or reply to one of hers and each time I'd catch just a tiny hint of side-boob, as if she was teasing me with her pert pair, though my rational brain knew she wasn't, even if my animal side was storing up a jerk-off fantasy for later.
I'd timed the journey just right and we pulled into the school's lot as the doors were opening. I quickly got out and sped round to open the door for my daughter, taking her hand to help her as she emerged, like a young gallant taking his lady love to the ball. She smiled and thanked me, hooking her arm into mine as I escorted her towards the entrance. A small queue had formed, middle aged Dads with their daughters. I'm not boasting when I say I'd less middle aged spread and more hair than most, I am boasting when I say none of the daughters were anywhere near holding a candle for Alice.
We got quickly to the desk where a teacher was checking our names off against a list. "Tom and Alice Darina," I announced and was quickly nodded through.
There were signs along the corridor to the dance hall, but they weren't needed I could hear the sound of the band already playing and everyone else was already going that way. Alice tugged my arm excitedly, "Come on Dad, I can't wait to introduce me to your friends."
I nodded and allowed myself to be led, arm in arm, into the gym hall. Someone had gone to a lot of trouble decorating it, around the area marked as the dance floor pink and blue helium balloons bounced and swayed everywhere held downwards by ribbons tied to what looked like small plastic weights and silver streamers hanging down from every piece of equipment stacked against the walls. Around the outside were the tables, each one with a pristine white table cloth and another series of balloons attached to the centrepiece, a jar, a wine bottle, a model car - each one different. The band was already on stage playing tunes from the nineties which I recognised and more modern ones that I didn't.
The tables weren't formally booked but Alice knew which one her and her friends had chosen and she led me across the room to it. There were a couple of teens and their Dad's already sitting there, a redhead called Drew and Tony, and a brunette who could have passed for a twenty something graduate called Holly together with Mike. I had to admit the girls were both lookers, even if they hadn't been dolled up and glamorous for the evening they'd have turned heads, but at the same time neither could compare to Alice in the beauty stakes. Introductions were quickly made together with a small amount of small talk between us Dad and together with complimentary, if chaste, comments to each of the girls about how wonderful they were looking. A waiter came over with some non-alcoholic fruit punches and another followed shortly afterwards with some hors d'oeuvres, it was all very pleasant if not overly thrilling, though the way the girls chattered excitedly amongst themselves I guessed opinion was divided and as it was Alice's view that mattered I was content to count the evening as a success.
So far the music had been rock or disco beats, and whilst there were certainly Dads up their dancing with their daughters, it wasn't for me (though it some of it was perfect for the car radio on a long drive and more than one I tapped my foot too, remembering it playing out my boombox in my teenage years to drown the gasps of my girlfriends from parents downstairs). However, the singer tapped the mike and announced, "Here's a slow one for those Dads who haven't yet taken their daughter on the dance floor."
