I'm not really sure where to start this story so I suppose I'll just jump right into it and fill in the details where I think I need to. I apologize I'm not much of a story teller, but I'm not even sure this story will ever actually be published in any way and I'm using this as more of a method to get it all off my chest. Who knows - maybe it'll help someone.

Chapter 1: First touch
It had been a long day at the office and I was finally home, sitting on the couch with my son Michael when my daughter walked in from dance class. Samantha was actually my wife's daughter from a previous marriage, but I never liked the way "step-daughter" sounded, so I had never called her anything but my daughter. In all the years since I'd met and married her mother I had always treated her the same as I would have had she been my own from the start.
Mondays and Thursdays Samantha had dance class at a studio down the street, and it being a warm early spring she had taken to walking home from class. Samantha had blossomed into an attractive young woman, developing early on but even as a junior in college, still maintaining a love of Disney princesses and dolls that we continually sought to foster. Naturally she had the occasional "boyfriend" but my wife and I were both certain nothing had progressed beyond kissing.
"Rub my feet?" Samantha pleaded as she flopped down onto the couch and deposited her feet into my lap. She fixed me with her saddest eyes. Of course she didn't have to put on the act, I always ended up rubbing the aches and pains that invariably developed from her dance class.
As I set to rubbing her feet, Sam grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels, which my son took as his cue to go play with his Lego in the basement. Michael was only seven and had no interest in the sorts of shows Sam liked to watch.
"Mom still at work?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, till nine thirty."
"Hmm"
"How was dance?"
"Fine."
"How articulate of you." I teased.
"It was fine. Same as always." She corrected with an exaggerated sigh, finally stopping on one channel for more than half a second. It was some teen drama show about a dance team. After a moment the show went to commercial break.
"I'm gonna get my PJs on." Sam said jumping up and heading toward the stairs.
My eyes followed Sam as she walked towards the stairs. Years of dance classes had keep her body fit, and her dirty blonde shoulder length hair tossed back and forth as walked. Sam was not supermodel thin, and had never (At least to my knowledge) worried about her figure; at 5' 4" she weighed about 125 pounds. As Sam disappeared up the stairs, I continued to stare off into space where her little ass had just been.
