Our 18-year-old daughter, Melissa, planned to go to college once she graduated from high school, but at the last minute she decided to take a year off. Apparently, she was exhausted from all those C's and D's she earned in high school and needed a break. I told her since she wasn't going to college, she had to get a job and find an apartment.
"School or work," I said. "Your choice." But once again, my wife pitted our daughter against me. Gabriella told Melissa she could stay in our house for a year before she had to worry about a job or school. A whole year just to goof off. I could only surmise my wife did this just to piss me off, as she was in the habit of these days. Melissa had no money to pay us rent, and my wife already excused her from getting a job, so I made an issue out of at least keeping her room clean and helping around the house.
"Whatever," she said, rolling her eyes and glancing at her mother as if they both knew that was never going to happen.
Still, I tried. I kept pressing the issue with various ways of telling Melissa that her room was a mess and she had to clean it up, but those always fell on deaf ears.
One day a month into our arrangement, her door was half open and I saw a sea of clothes spread across the floor. I flipped out. I had to push hard to get her door open because of all the clothes. When I stepped in, it felt like I was knee deep in clothes. Both of her walk-in closets were bare because everything Melissa owned was on the floor.
I started hollering and she flinched, surprised to see me that angry.
"You need to learn how to do this," I said. "Take off your T-shirt."
"What?"
"You heard. Take off your shirt." I think the anger in my voice scared her, so she obliged. She peeled off her shirt and held it as if to ask what she was supposed to do with it.
"Put it in the hamper," I said. She shrugged and dropped it in. I said, "That wasn't so hard, was it? All you have to do when you change is drop your dirty clothes in the hamper instead of on the floor. Now take your shorts off."
"Yeah, right."
"You heard me!" I stood over her and she obeyed. She dropped her shorts in the hamper and looked at me as if to say, We're done, right?
But we weren't done. "Now your bra."
"Really," she said. "We're going there?"
"You've got to learn."
She shook her head but, unhooked her bra anyway, letting it slip down. She took it to her hamper and made a show of dropping it in. She turned toward me with her arm across her nipples, like she was modest all of a sudden.
"Now the panties," I said.
She let out a sigh then turned around, her back to me, and dropped her pink and white cotton panties to her ankles. She stepped out of them then hooked them with her big toe and flipped them into the hamper.
She stood in front of me, naked, and extended her arms, saying, "Take a good look. Does this give you a thrill."
If only she knew. It was quite the surprising thrill. I had no idea when I entered her room that I was going to tell her to strip, and now my 18-year-old grown daughter stood in front of me, the nipples in her perfectly shaped B-cups getting hard, a trim but full bush above her pussy. It was everything I could do to keep from gawking at her, but I had to complete the lesson.
I sat on the edge of her bed and said, "Come here and bend over my knee."
"You're going to spank me?" she asked, incredulously.
I scowled and she stepped over, amused, like this might be interesting. She laid across my leg, and three good whacks on her bare ass changed that attitude of hers.
"Daddy, that hurts."
It's supposed to hurt I thought. I whacked her three more times. "Dad, please. I'm sorry.
She said it, and she squirmed, but I didn't believe she meant it. At least not yet. After three more whacks she was crying for help. "Mommy! Mommy!"
"Your mother's not here," I said in a calm voice. Then I whacked her three more times.
"I'm sorry, Daddy, I'm sorry. I'll be good. I'll keep my room clean and I'll help around the house."
"Do you mean it?"
"Oh yes, Daddy. I want to make you proud of me."
This time, she did sound like she meant it.
I spotted a bottle of baby oil on her nightstand so I grabbed it and poured the oil over her swollen red butt cheeks. As I gently rubbed the soothing oil in, I said, "I don't want to hurt you, Sweetheart. I don't like punishing you. But being an adult means playing by certain rules, and it's important to learn that."
As I continued to rub oil over her butt, I felt myself getting hard. She said, "That feels good, Daddy," and I wondered if she meant the lotion or the cock that was starting to get stiff underneath her.
"Okay, you can get up," I said. She stood in front of me, submissively, as if she was promising to keep her room clean, but also, she was submitting her body to me if I ever chose to take it. I knew I had to get out of there quick before the bulge in my pants became too obvious.
For the rest of the day, the washing machine ran nonstop as Melissa laundered every piece of clothing she owned and put them all in their proper place. Later that night, Melissa called me to her room. I couldn't believe the transformation The room was spotless, clothes all put away, floor vacuumed, bed made. She was eager for my praise. "I'm so proud of you," I said. "You're a good girl. Daddy's good girl."
She leaned into me and hugged me. "Thanks Daddy. I want to make you happy."
Melissa wore a dirty tank top, old shorts, and her hair was put up in a bun, like she had been working all day. She wasn't at her sexiest best, but as I hugged her, I thought about how she had looked hours earlier standing naked in front of me. She looked like she needed a shower, and she looked like she wanted Daddy to shower with her. But then Gabriella called out for Melissa, and the mood was broken.
Early the next morning, after Gabriella left for work, I went to Melissa's room to talk to her. She was just waking up, having kicked the covers back, and was wearing a tight-fitting tank top and black panties. When she saw me, she smiled and made no effort to cover up.
"I wanted to apologize," I said. "I was way out of line yesterday freaking out about your room. Whether or not your mother and I agree, it's your room, you're an adult, and it's not up to me to decide what you do with it."
"Well, it really was a mess," she said. "I was embarrassed. I couldn't even get the door closed."
"Anyway, I wanted to explain what I was really upset about. It seems your mother has been having an affair, so I'm filing for divorce."
She sat up. "I didn't know about the affair, but she had said she was going to divorce you. Other than that, I tried to stay out of it." Melissa gave me an understanding hug. "I know she treated you badly, and she bribed me in mostly subtle ways to treat you badly as well. I'm so sorry Daddy if I caused this."
"No, Melissa, it's not your fault at all. Your mother had become more and more difficult to live with but I tried to stick it out. It's the affair -- which she has no intention of ending -- that is ending it for us."
