My exams had been brutal, but one by one, I managed to get through all of them.
My third year of university had been the toughest yet. Since my parents divorced, I had been forced to work to help cover my tuition and living expenses. With school and two part-time jobs, I had worked through all of the breaks, nights, and weekends for both semesters. I hadn't been home since last summer and I was exhausted.
I almost felt numb, I would be home Friday night and the summer job I had set up would start on Monday. A weekend off and then right back to work, but the alternative was to miss a semester of school, and I couldn't do that. Not much time for fun or any kind of social life, but I guess I was used to that. I couldn't remember my last date much less the last time I had sex.
The car hit a pothole and the shock brought me back to reality. It was late afternoon and I was sitting beside my father in the front seat driving home from the university. I realized that he had been talking and I hadn't heard a word he had been saying.
My father was a big man, at 6.4 and 250 pounds; he was still in good shape with just a bit of a "muffin top" starting to form. At just over fifty, most of my friends considered him to be good looking, a few of them had even teased me about wanting to make a pass at him, especially now that he was divorced.
I refocused, nodded, and listened as he was continuing to talk about our weekend camping trip.
I was glad he was excited about camping I was too. It was nice to see him happy. The divorce had been particularly nasty. Mom had left him for a younger man and it had been very difficult for him. It didn't help that I had been away at school most of the time.
I was looking forward to camping too, it was going to be my only break between school and work and I loved being outdoors. I managed to pick up that he was talking about how everything was just about ready and we would be heading out at 4 am tomorrow. For years, he and his buddies had gotten together on this weekend and gone camping so they could act like teenagers again.
"4 AM! That's crazy, I could never understand that," I said, realizing just how tired I was going to be.
"Tradition, sweetie," he laughed.
"You guys need a new tradition," I grumbled.
"Hey, you are lucky I talked them into letting you come, you're going to be the first woman to go in quite a few years," he said earnestly.
"Why is that daddy?" I asked.
He shrugged, "The guys can be a little crude sometimes, but don't worry the guys will behave themselves, you know what they are like, and besides remember Tom is bringing his daughter too, so the guys won't talk about sex with you both around."
I decided to flip the subject around and asked him about dating. He said had dated a little since the divorce. Reading the lack of enthusiasm in his voice, I did not think he was looking for anything serious, maybe just a little sex. I teased him about it and then he teased me back when he said, "At least I remember the last time I had sex."
He was right, because of school and my part-time jobs; I had zero time for any relationships. Last summer was the last time I had been to bed with anyone. He was constantly telling me that I was working too hard.
"Rachel, you are a beautiful woman but nobody knows because all you do is work," he must have said that a hundred times to me in the past months.
I knew he was right, I wanted to go out, I wanted to get laid, I just couldn't afford it, financially and academically.
I almost told him that my vibrator barely kept my desires satisfied. It seemed like every night, I could not fall asleep unless I had played with myself until I had an orgasm. I had fantasized about everyone I knew: boys, girls, strangers, teachers, older men and women, and even him once or twice.
Then he admitted however, he had not been with anyone for several months. He said he was working 60-70 hours a week and just did not have the time. I wondered to myself, but did not ask, if he was masturbating as much as I was.
As we talked, I looked at him. He looked a little older than I had remembered. His cologne lingered in the air; I had always loved his scent. It reminded me of old leather and motor oil. When he had arrived, he hugged me as if I was a little girl. At 5.1 and barely 100 lbs, I guess I was small, and he easily lifted me off my feet and squeezed the air out of me like he had when I was a little girl.
The drive home was almost four hours. We spent most of the driving time talking about school and the camping trip.
I first I had turned down the camping trip because I didn't want him to miss it. I knew it was one of the few chances he had to let loose and have some fun.
He had finally convinced me to go after telling me that Tom was bringing his daughter and that he really wanted to spend the weekend with me.
"Rachel, you love camping, and besides, Tom is bringing his daughter Lauren so it won't be just you and a bunch of middle aged teenagers drinking and carrying on," he smiled.
I actually had been looking forward to the trip, it was my reward to myself after those exams, and it would be nice to be outdoors. I also liked Lauren, she was my age and we kept in touch.
After talking non-stop and getting more caught up on what we both had been doing as well, we still had more than an hour to go.
"Rachel, you look beat, why don't you take a nap," he suggested.
I thought that was a good idea and I leaned up against the door and closed my eyes. I shifted a little, but the car door wasn't very comfortable.
Daddy noticed and said, "Why don't you sit in the middle and you can lean against me."
I undid my seat belt and scooted over on the bench seat. I leaned against him and inhaled his cologne again. I attached the center seatbelt and Dad put his arm around me and before I knew it, I was asleep, the strain and pressure of the last few weeks washing over me like a rising tide.
I have always had vivid dreams and while we drove, I had a very unusual one.
I dreamt that we were still driving, except it was nighttime. I dreamt I awoke to feel my father's hand absentmindedly moving softly up and down my arm, his fingertips lightly stroking my skin, making my stomach feel like it was full of butterflies. It was a nice pleasant feeling. With my eyes closed, I could feel the initial tingling of arousal that I always felt whenever someone touched me.
Like lots of women, I have had my share of "daddy" fantasies; so I just kept my eyes closed as he stroked my arm and I pretended still to be asleep.
Daddy's hand accidently brushed up against my boob. He froze, realizing what he had done, not even breathing, and maybe perhaps waiting for a reaction. The only reaction I had was a feeling deep inside my pussy; I could sense myself starting to get wet.
After waiting several minutes with no outward response from me, I felt the fingers move again, tentatively, then a little bolder now actually caressing my boob on purpose.
In a few minutes his fingers were actually were moving in circles on the side and front of my boob. I could feel the size of his fingers through the light material of my tee shirt, it felt so nice and it had been so long since anyone other than me had touched them. I was glad I had not worn a bra and I could feel my nipples pushing against the material of my top. I am sure he could too.
I have always had very sensitive nipples and his fingers caressed and pushed against me gently making the wetness between my legs even greater. I wanted to moan, but I didn't want him to know, so I dreamt I stifled the sound.
I felt his strong fingers and his thumbs. He seemed awkward at first. I didn't care, the feeling was so nice, he got more purposeful and started to pinch and pull on one of my nipples. I knew, even dreaming, this was wrong, but I needed this so badly and I could feel my body responding to his touching.
