David jumped at the buzz of his phone on the kitchen table.
"Jeez," Meredith said, "a little jumpy this morning?"
David quickly scooped the phone off the table and read the incoming message. It was from Jessie.
I'm ready for you to pick me up.
David's throat went dry. Any reminder of the previous night made him feel nauseous, and Jessie's text wasn't a subtle one.
He quickly typed a response.
Fine. I'll be there in 20 minutes.
"Is that Jessie?" Meredith asked before taking a bite of her toast.
"Yes. She asked if I'd go pick her up." David took a sip of his coffee. "Unless you want to get her?"
"I can't. I told you already, Amy and I are going shopping today."
David sighed. Amy was one of Meredith's closest friends. She was always nice to David, but he also sensed aloofness.
Maybe she thinks it's my fault her best friend has become so strait-laced.
That notion was painfully ironic to David, considering he wished she were more like her old self -- particularly in the bedroom.
"Right," he said, pushing away from the table. "I forgot."

Finn's neighborhood didn't look much better to David in broad daylight. If anything, he found it even more dismal. He pulled into the parking lot and found a spot with a sign post that said 'Visitors.' It was bent almost to the ground, and someone had spray painted the word 'No' on it.
He sent Jessie a text to let her know he was downstairs waiting for her. He scanned the area and shook his head, irritated at the sight of broken beer bottles, trash, and other debris scattered around the lot. He glanced across the street and saw a number of apartment buildings with broken windows and various expletives spray painted onto them. He was still surprised Finn lived in such a rough area.
The mere thought of the young man's name brought back memories from the previous night that sent shivers down David's spine. The guilt he felt for participating mixed together with that same deep, visceral disgust he'd been pushing down repeatedly.
David almost jumped out of his seat when Jessie opened the passenger door. She slid in next to him, letting out a long sigh. Her pink hair was disheveled and her make-up was smeared under her eyes. She wore the same clothes as she'd worn the previous night, and they both looked and smelled it -- wrinkled everywhere, and reeking of cigarettes and sex. David saw a faint hickey on her neck.
None of those things made her look any less attractive to David -- quite the opposite.
"Can we go?" she asked, shaking David from his thoughts. She sounded irritated; David attributed it to lack of sleep. It wasn't hard for him to imagine what she'd been doing all night instead.
David shifted the car into drive and started in the direction of the freeway. Jessie opened the glove box, retrieved a pair of oversized sunglasses, and slipped them over her eyes. She leaned her head against the seat back and settled in.
As David drove, he couldn't help but steal glances at her. Her lips were slightly parted, and the way she breathed softly through her nose made him suspect she'd fallen asleep. He tried to focus on the road ahead, but with each bump he drove over, her breasts jiggled under her shirt, and his gaze was inevitably drawn to them.
Fuck she's sexy.!
He thought. His mind wandered, imagining the things she and Finn had likely done the previous night. The possibilities made his cock begin to stiffen, and he shifted in his seat.
Despite the discomfort, David couldn't help but let his mind continue to drift. The more he thought about Jessie and Finn together, the harder he got. He imagined Jessie's bare breasts bouncing up and down as she rode her boyfriend. He could almost hear her moans of pleasure, and the little gasps and whimpers that escaped her lips when she came.
"I would tell you to take a picture, but I guess you took plenty last night."
David's face grew hot and he gripped the steering wheel tightly.
So much for her being asleep,
he thought, feeling a surge of embarrassment for having been caught ogling her.
Jessie reached up and removed her sunglasses. "And since we're on the subject..." she said, turning slightly towards him, "... you really enjoyed that last night, didn't you?"
David stared straight ahead.
His step-daughter smirked and turned her head to stare back out her window. After a few minutes of silence, she turned back to David. "You know, your cock is actually kind of nice for a guy your age."
David tried desperately to ignore her attempts to provoke him, but after almost a full minute of silence, he took the bait. "What do you mean, 'for a guy your age?'"
A glint sparked in Jessie's eyes. "Well, I just mean... your dick... it doesn't look... old."
David looked over at her, raising an eyebrow. They stared at each other for several seconds before both of them burst out laughing. To David's surprise, he felt his shoulders relax. "You mean there's no grey hair?"
That made Jessie laugh even harder, and for the first time, David realized how much she sounded like her mother when she did. He felt a sharp pang in his chest at the thought, and he quickly pushed it away.
