"Mmmmm. . .Good Morning"
It was a few weeks later. Beth was at Jake's house, cuddled up against him, naked. It was very early. He'd awoken her with his hands running against her hips, kissing her neck. Oh that felt so good. . .she smiled and leaned back into him, reached back and felt for his cock, which she knew would be hot and hard for her.
The past few weeks had been. . .intense. There was no other word for it.
Ever since that night in his office, they had both been drawn into the power of her fantasy, this little game. It turned them on so much they could not stop it even if they wanted. They would talk, normally, in the course of the day, but the minute he came over, he would get behind her, nuzzle her neck, push his cock into her back and start telling her "Daddy" wanted to fuck her, that he couldn't help himself, that he'd been thinking about her all day. That word, that one hot dirty little word, was everything. It was a compromise. Something that allowed her to channel at least part of her fantasies into reality. Into HIM. They would fuck, quickly and frenzied, exhausting themselves.
Beth was happy, or thought she was. And she would have been perfectly happy if things had continued just like this indefinitely, but one day things started to change. . .
They had their first fight. A little tiff, which began when Jake texted her in the middle of the day, telling her he wanted to see her, he needed to see her "in his office." She texted back: "Can't. Busy." Well! This had made him angry. Really fucking angry. He knew she had a job, but still, he was irrationally pissed off.
That whole week she kept telling she couldn't see him, she was busy with a case. He'd hardly seen her in two weeks. Then one night, he called her house and a man answered, laughing, saying "Beth's house!" Jake hung up. He was so mad he threw the phone across the room.
He realized he could not stand the idea of her with another man. He couldn't bear the thought of her out meeting other men, even thinking about other men sexually. It drove him crazy. And while he was at it, he was getting frustrated with the sex they were having. It was hot, so fucking hot, but it was bugging him. This fantasy. . .it was great. . .but it was a little like having a super-charged vibrator always on hand. It was a prop. A crutch. It bothered him. And it bothered him that it always had to be in her mind.
Or so he told himself.
He didn't ask himself if his sudden dissatisfaction with her fantasy had something to do with his jealousy. He didn't ask himself if he was in love with her. He didn't wonder if maybe it was because he liked it a little too much. He just decided it "had to go."
The next time they were having dinner he brought it up.
"Who was that at your house the other night?"
"Huh?"
"I called you. A man answered."
"Oh, that was you who hung up."
"Yes, me. Who was it?"
"Relax, Detective!" She didn't like the way he was talking to her!
"What have you been doing, why haven't I seen you?"
He was fuming suddenly and so was she.
"Look, I know we have this thing going, but I have a life. I hope you don't expect to control that too."
"No, but I want an answer. Who was that?"
"A friend!"
"A friend. Well the next time you want a fuck, maybe you should just call him."
She just stared at him.
"Call him up. I'm sure he'd love to be your Daddy."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what it means."
"No, I don't. Why don't you tell me?"
"Well, it's true isn't? Anyone can be your Daddy. Absolutely anyone! Any guy, any asshole, any stupid fuck off the street!"
He knew very well he wasn't exactly being fair, but his jealousy had gotten the better of him. He could not stand the idea of some other man taking his place!
"Well I haven't heard you complaining about it!"
"True. I haven't. But you're just using me."
"YOU TOLD ME TO!"
"Yes," he said quietly, "You're right. I did. I'm sorry."
He reached out, held her hand, "Can you just be with me? Is that really so hard for you, to just be with a man?"
Oh, crap. Here it was. She didn't say anything. She was having horrible déjà vu because she had been asked those very same exact questions, by the guy she was seeing, many many times in her life. Right before she broke up with them.
Her mind was a blank. She was facing a wall.
"Apparently not. I don't know how. I can't."
"I know."
"You think we're only play-acting, but I'm not. I NEED it."
"No you don't."
"I think I do."
"Nooooo, you don't."
She just looked at him, feeling fidgety and uncomfortable and scared.
Jake said, "Maybe we can. . .go backwards. Start over somewhere. . ."
"So you don't want to break up?"
He laughed. "No! What gave you that idea?"
"This is where all my relationships break up. Right here."
"You mean this is where you ditch them."
"Ok fine."
"Well you're not. We're going to keep going."
She was feeling much, much better. This was the very first time things hadn't just exploded into an angry fuck you break up scene. She felt so grateful to him!
"All right. . .so what's next?"
"We have to stop fucking."
"Oh!" She was not expecting that.
"I want you to go on another date with me."
She laughed, "A date?"
"Well not that kind. An appointment. . . to
really have sex with me."
"When?"
"I don't know. When the time is right."
***
They did stop having sex, but they didn't stop kissing, sleeping in the same bed, getting very worked up. Beth found out that not fucking was almost as hot as constantly fucking. She could not wait to see him at the end of the day. She thought about him constantly, wanted him constantly, wondered what he meant, what he wanted. . .waiting for his direction . . .
That was just how Jake wanted it. He wanted her to miss him, want him, need him, in the absence of EVERY single thing she usually had to replace a man in her mind. He wanted to force her to get in touch with that need, her own lack, her own desire, without resorting to some mythical idea. He could wait. He was a very patient man.
***
It was the night of the annual police fundraiser.
They'd been planning to go to this little shindig for a while. Jake had to go every year. He had to go and kiss some ass, make an appearance, stroke some egos. And the biggest ego of all was going to be the man himself, Beth's father. Of course he would be there. Should be interesting.
Beth was thinking the same thing. Jesus the fates were conspiring.
She stood naked in her bedroom, thinking about it. On the one hand, it could be. . .awkward. Very Oedipal. Strange. On the other, it did present an opportunity. A perfect one. . .
She thought about it, wondering what to do, and made up her mind.
