âBob, can I talk to you?â
This was my step-daughter, Katie, the night I found out for sure that she knew what was going on. Sheâd still come to visit on occasion, even though she didnât have to anymore. She was sitting across from me on the couch, wearing sandals, white shorts that covered almost nothing and a pink t-shirt that was pulled way too tight across her chest. When she asked me this I wasnât really expecting what came out, but I had always been her sounding board and I didnât see any reason to not be this time. âSure,â I said, âyou know you can. Whatâs on your mind?â
âWell, itâs about Mom, and you I guess. Youâve been together a long time.â
She was talking slowly, as if she wasnât sure she wanted to really speak the words, so I listened patiently, waiting for her to find her own way to the point.
âI remember that I started coming here when I was very young. I guess I was only two or three years old. You were very good to me and you did all the things my real dad wouldnât. Youâre still good to me, even now that Iâm all grown up.â
I thought she was leading up to a big âThank youâ, or maybe laying the groundwork to ask for some favor that she needed. Then she must have made up her mind to just spit it out. It floored me when she said, âSheâs a slut. And you know it, donât you?â
Yes, I knew it. I had known it for a long time. I just hadnât been sure that Katie knew it. She was talking about her mother, Kathy, of course. I had never talked bad about her mother to Katie, but I knew. I had met Kathy one spring day and fell for her the first time I looked into her sparkling blue eyes. Kathy was a beautiful, dark-haired woman of twenty-four when I met her. Everything about her drew me to her and I had to have her. I was thirty-two and had been married before. My first marriage was horrible and I had vowed never to marry again. It had been almost ten years since the end of that first marriage and Iâd thought I had it beat. I was single, had a decent job, a nice home and went out frequently. Iâm a fairly good-looking guy and I can be fun and interesting when I want to be, so I had more than my share of dating partners. Without even thinking hard I can recall there being six or seven women that I dated, and fucked, on a regular basis. It was a time in my life when there wasnât any one special woman. Most of them dated other people too. We all knew and we were all fine with it. It wasnât cheating because none of us had any claims on any of the others. I wasnât looking for someone new and, since I was getting more than my share, I wasnât really looking for sex. Still, I had to have her. It was like I was under a spell.
When I met her she was with her boyfriend, but in less than a month I had taken her away from him. He took it really hard and for most of the summer he kept trying to get her to come back to him. He finally gave up though and left us alone. Now, I still had memories of my first marriage haunting me and I wouldnât consider even talking about a second one. We lived together for three years before I finally softened up and we got married after all. During those three years she treated me like a king. She seemed so perfect. She kept the house spotlessly clean, but never complained if I made a mess with one of my many hobbies. She was a wonderful cook and always had supper on the table when I got home. She didnât mind me having friends over, even if we stayed up all night playing cards or whatever. You name it, she could do it well, and with a smile on her face.
The sex was great, too. So good, in fact, and plentiful, that I didnât feel I had lost a thing when I broke the news to all my old girlfriends that I was no longer available. Any time, anywhere, day or night, I could start with her and she would just drop whatever she was doing and fuck me silly for as long as I wanted. Sometimes I would be laying on the couch, watching some show on TV and she would come into the living room, sit on the floor next to me, take out my cock and give me a mind-blowing blow job, just because she thought I could use one. She never refused me anything. If I said, âBabe, leave the dishes for a while and come in here. I want to fuck your assâ, she would do just that. Sheâd wipe her hands, pull her clothes off and happily present her ass to me, ready to be fucked. We did it every way a man and woman can do it, in every room of the house, out in the back yard, in the park, in the menâs room at restaurants. Unless we were going out or expecting company she would be dressed only in a satin nightie that stopped just below her bush. If I wanted to I could just step up to her, raise it a couple of inches and push my rod in, or walk up behind her and bend her over to fuck her from behind. She had lots of them and she looked damned good in them. Nothing I asked of her was beyond reason. One night I tied her hands and feet to the railings on our brass bed and had my way with her for hours. She loved it and it became a regular thing with us. One afternoon I ate her pussy and fucked her while she talked on the phone with her mother.
I havenât told you what she looked like. She still looks good today, twenty years later, but back then she was all that, and more. Go back those twenty years. At twenty-four, sheâs five foot nine and weighs 130 pounds. Her hair is brown, but itâs so dark youâd easily mistake it for black, with a natural waviness to it. When it was short those waves became curls and I told her she reminded me of Betty Boop. She has what they call a widowâs peak, but usually you canât see it because she most often wears her hair with bangs down to her eye brows. Sheâs got the clearest deep-blue eyes that Iâve ever seen. Her lips make you want to beg her for a kiss. Her tits stand up proudly and are topped with tanned circles a little bigger than a quarter. Theyâre 36-C and easily excitable. Thereâs a gentle curve in at her waist, then her hips flare out suddenly full and round. Her legs are long and fleshy, not flabby, but firm and well-muscled with just enough of a layer of fat to make them smooth and tasty-looking. Her ass is big enough to be a nice cushion when youâre fucking her from behind, but if thereâs anything extra there I never found it. Her pussy is the kind that looks neat and all tucked in. To see her inner lips you have to pry it open and itâs covered in a thick curly bush of dense, dark fur. To look at her is to want her. I know. It happened to me and I saw how other menâs eyes followed her wherever we went. They could be sitting at dinner, talking to someone across the table and just forget to finish a sentence while they watched her ass as she crossed the room. Iâve even seen guys with their hands up some galâs skirt freeze where they were and watch her pass by. Yeah, my Kathy was drop dead gorgeous by anyoneâs standards, and she was all mine.
Anyway, she was until I married her. I guess then she knew she had won and moved on to other challenges. I started getting lots of hang-up calls at all hours and finding little slips of paper with phone numbers and guysâ names on them. She had to work late two or three nights each week, but the extra hours didnât show on her paychecks. We hadnât been married three months the first time she stayed out all night. Those of you whoâve lived it know what Iâm talking about. I knew. For some reason though, I didnât want to admit that I knew, not even to myself. When she was home she still made life so good for me that I guess I just didnât want to give it up. The one time that I did she tried to turn it around and make me out to be the villain. She said that I just wanted her to be my cook, my maid, my baby-sitter and my sex toy. She said that I didnât really care about her, I just wanted a slave. She left me for most of a month and I was miserable while she was gone. I was still with her almost twenty years later when I heard Katie, her own daughter, call her a slut.
Let me tell you about Katie. I met her shortly after I met Kathy. She was two years old and the cutest little girl Iâd ever seen. She got her auburn hair from her grandmother and she was a big ball of excitement. Everything made her giggle and she couldnât sit still for a minute. She was from Kathyâs first marriage and we picked her up every other weekend and the Wednesdays in between. She would talk non-stop all the way home, telling about the things she had done since sheâd last seen us. We played games together and watched cartoons together, her leaning over the arm of my chair with her head resting on her hands while her little ass wiggled back and forth because she had so much energy to get rid of. We took her to the park to swing and to amusement parks to ride rides. As she grew up she took dancing lessons and tumbling, she was a cheerleader from middle school through graduation. She was a Girl Scout and a volunteer worker at her churchâs many functions. If itâs out there for a girl to do, she did it, and she did it well. I watched her grow up from that little butterball that she was when I met her into the mouth-watering beauty who was talking to me that night. During those years we got to be buddies. When we had gone to the park, I was the one who pushed the swing. I rode the rides with her at the amusement parks. I was the one who went to her dance recitals and ball games and helped her sell her cookies and all the things that dad is supposed to do. I heard about all her crushes and boyfriends. I helped her with school work when she got stuck on something. She was the little girl I never had, but she never called me Dad. I was always just Bob, right from the start and all the way up to today.
She was five when I married her mom and before she was six she was spending a lot of time with me on those weekend visits because her mom was âworking late againâ or had to go âvisit a friendâ or whatever. I guess Katie played a bigger part than I realized in why I never left her mom. Katieâs real dad paid for most of the activities she was involved in, but he often wasnât the one who took her there and picked her up, or showed up for her special nights. Too often her mom had other things to do; things that little girls and husbands werenât invited to. If I left her mom, where would that leave Katie and what would I do without my little girl? I donât know that I ever really thought about it that way, but I know I looked forward to seeing her on those weekends and I missed her as much as I missed her mother during that month that we were apart.
Now, Katie is all grown up. Sheâs not her mother made over, sheâs her mother made better. Sheâs self-reliant, beautiful, keeps a job, has her own home and pays her bills. She has her motherâs eyes and her figure, but her auburn hair and rosy cheeks mark her as her own woman. She still doesnât sit in one place for long, but now and then sheâll watch a movie with me. For some reason she still comes to visit, even though she knows that, as often as not, Mom wonât be here. Maybe I did something right. But, back to the question at hand.
