The Phone Call
Kendra's fingers trembled with anxious energy as she pressed her phone to her ear. The sun was low and in her eyes, draining her further of her energy. She had stayed late at work, and the parking lot where she sat was nearly empty. As the line rang, each tone felt heavy with the weight of her day's exhaustion. Finally, a warm click and a familiar voice: "Hello, princess." Her father's timbre was laced with concern even before she spoke. Kendra exhaled a breath she didn't realize she was holding, her chest easing with relief at the sound of Him.
"Hi, Daddy," she replied softly, her voice betraying just how drained she was. She tried to muster some cheer, but she struggled a bit. He could immediately sense something was off in her voice, like a delicate chime sounding a wrong note. "What's wrong, babygirl?" he asked gently, worry threading through each syllable. Kendra swallowed, one hand gripping the steering wheel as if it could anchor her. "I'm okay... just tired. I just-- I want to come home to my dad," she admitted, her tone small and longing. In the silence that followed, she could picture the creases forming on his forehead, the way his protective instincts must be flaring.
"Drive safe and come home, my beautiful daughter," he murmured tenderly after a moment. "I'll be here. And when you get home," he promised, "you won't have to worry about a thing. I'll take care of you. I'll take care of everything." His voice was a soothing caress over the phone, wrapping around her like a warm blanket. A shaky smile found its way to Kendra's lips as relief and gratitude welled in her chest. "Thank you... I love you," she whispered. "I love you too. You are my heart" he answered, steady and sure. Even over the phone, the devotion in his voice was palpable. As the call ended, Kendra felt the first true calm she'd experienced all day. Her Daddy was waiting, and that knowledge alone eased the ache of her weariness.
Her father had been her refuge for so long. Kendra's parents split up not long after she went to college, and her dad ended up changing his entire life, and getting a new job several states in the same town where Kendra went to school, so he could be closer to her. By her junior year, it honestly made more financial sense for her to move back in with her father. Soon after she moved in, she became intoxicated by the way he was always there for her, treated her like a princess, and left her beyond measure. It wasn't long after that they fell deeply in love, and for her college graduation, her father had purchased her a beautiful diamond ring, and they got married shortly thereafter.
It's been over five years, and she couldn't imagine leading a happier life with any other man.
Homecoming
The drive home blurred past in a haze of anticipation. As she stepped onto the porch, the door opened before she could reach for the knob, revealing her husband -- her Daddy -- framed in the warm light spilling out from inside.
He had clearly been watching for her arrival, worry and love etched across his handsome face. In that moment, seeing him standing there, everything else fell away. "Welcome home, My Beloved," he said, voice low and rich with relief. Kendra barely managed a whispered "Daddy..." before he swept her into his arms. Their bodies collided in a fierce, tender embrace. She melted against his chest, breathing him in -- the scent of cologne and soap and the unmistakable essence of home. He held her tight as if to reassure himself she was really there, safe in his embrace at last.
Inside, the house was exactly as she imagined: soft candlelight dancing on the walls, a gentle lullaby of music playing from the stereo, and the air carrying a faint hint of her favorite scent. He had prepared all of this for her. The realization made her emotional even as she smiled. "You did all this... for me?" she breathed against his shoulder. He pulled back just enough to cup her face in his large hands. "Of course I did," he murmured, his brown eyes searching hers. "I've got you. You're home now, and I've got you." The words, coupled with the earnest heat in his gaze, sent a surge of warmth through her.
He kissed her then -- a deep, hungry kiss that stole what little breath she had left. It was the kind of kiss that made her toes curl and time stop. Kendra answered with equal fervor, pouring all her pent-up longing and love into it. His hands began to roam gently over her back and hips, reacquainting themselves with every curve as if he hadn't held her just that morning. She whimpered softly into his mouth, her exhaustion alchemizing into need under the slow stroke of his tongue and the insistent press of his body against hers. When they finally parted, both were breathing hard. In her eyes, he saw the stress of the day already giving way to desire and trust. In his eyes, she saw only adoration and the promise that he was going to take care of his girl, just as he'd vowed.
Worship
He guided her to the couch, each step measured and patient, as if moving too fast might break the spell of the moment. Kendra's legs felt weak with relief and arousal; she was grateful when the backs of her knees met the couch and she could sink down onto the cushions. Her Daddy knelt in front of her without hesitation -- not just as a lover about to pleasure his wife and his daughter, but as a devoted man kneeling at the altar of his Princess. The candlelight cast dancing halos in his eyes as he looked up at her, reverence evident in the set of his shoulders and the gentle grip of his hands on her thighs.
With a loving smile and a slight nod, Kendra granted him everything. She leaned back, heart fluttering, and allowed her legs to part before his gaze. "Let me take care of you now, little girl." he whispered. There was an almost ceremonial air to his voice, a quiet intensity that made her shiver.
He began by lifting her right foot in his broad hands, undoing her work shoe with deliberate care. The shoe dropped to the floor and he pressed a tender kiss to the top of her foot, then each of her toes through the thin stocking. Kendra giggled softly at the tickle of his lips, affection blooming in her chest. One by one, he removed both of her shoes and then slowly rolled down her socks, his fingers kneading gently into her arches in a brief, soothing massage. After a long day, the relief was exquisite; she sighed, tension easing from her muscles under his attentive touch.
His palms glided up from her ankles to her calves as he settled between her knees. He reached for the button of her pants and opened it, then the zipper, each snick of metal loud in the hush of the candlelit room. Inch by inch, he drew her pants down, revealing the creamy skin of her legs. He paused to press adoring kisses along her shins and the sensitive spot just above her knee, making her breath hitch. As the pants finally slipped free and were cast aside, his hands skimmed back up, following the path of those kisses but this time on her bare skin. Kendra trembled, watching him through heavy-lidded eyes. Every touch felt like a benediction. He was methodical and unhurried, unwrapping his precious gift with utmost care.
When his fingertips found the lace waistband of her panties, he met her gaze. Her answer was clear in the way she lifted her hips slightly, offering herself. The corner of his mouth lifted in a soft smile -- pride, love, and hunger all mingling in that expression. With reverence, he peeled the last garment from her body, the pretty pink lace sliding down her thighs. The moment her panties slipped past her knees, he caught the first delicate hint of her intimate scent. A low groan escaped him, his eyes fluttering shut for a beat as he breathed her in. "So sweet... and all for me....," he muttered, voice thick with hunger and awe.
Kendra's cheeks burned with a blush, but she felt no embarrassment -- not under the heat of his gaze that made her feel like the most beautiful creature on earth. She was laid bare before him, and in his eyes it was clear that he worshipped what he saw. His strong hands guided her thighs further apart, and he inhaled again deliberately, greedily, as if memorizing her unique fragrance of arousal and womanhood. Her core throbbed under that gaze and she bit her lip, anticipation coiling hot and tight in her belly.
