Notes to readers:
I hadn't intended this for the contest specifically at first, but then found out about it and thought this story would fit right in.
As I try to make clear, all characters are adult.
Enjoy!

It was one of those scorching summers that are becoming the norm. She'd finished her exams for the term and most of her friends had already left for the summer. She had a summer job waiting for her, but since it wouldn’t start until the beginning of the next week, she thought she'd surprise her parents with a weekend visit.
When she arrived after several long hours in the car, she saw her dad's car in the driveway but not her mom's. She figured her mom had gone to get weekend groceries or something, and so she let herself in.
Her parents had insisted she keep a set of keys, at least until she finished college in case she needed to come home for whatever reasons. Not that they struggled to let her fly the nest, they knew their daughter to be a smart, confident, and independent woman, but since college was only a day's drive away, they figured it might still be handy for her to still have the keys.
She came in but saw no sign of her dad at first either. Never mind, she told herself, he might be busy in his office or his shed. She dumped her weekend bag in the kitchen and grabbed herself a cold drink from the fridge.
She'd only had a couple of sips when decided she might as well take her things upstairs to her old bedroom. As she walked past her parent's bedroom she heard the shower running. She took a quick glance through the open doorway and she could see all the way to her parent’s en suite bathroom, and her dad in the shower. Clearly he hadn't expected anyone other than his wife might be home and so hadn't bothered with protecting his privacy. She was just moving on to her own room when she double-backed as her brain registered what her eyes had just seen. Her father wasn't just scrubbing himself clean, he was jacking off.
A flush of embarrassment came over her with the realisation. She didn’t know what to think in that moment and she hurried herself on to her bedroom to drop her bags as she'd originally planned. She was surprised to find she needed to force herself not to take a second peek when she headed back down to wait for her dad to finish whatever he was doing. As she waited patiently alone downstairs, she realised that her dad was probably not expecting her mom to come home any time soon either from his lack of precautions, and struggled to keep intrusive thoughts out of her head.
Was her dad really that hung or was her sexually frustrated mind playing games with her? She didn't have to wait long to get the answer to that question as her dad finally came down the stairs, still naked while drying his hair with a towel. 'Clearly not expecting anyone home', she thought again. She produced a little cough to let him know she was there and he nearly fell over with the shock realisation that he was not alone.
_____________________________
He'd been tending the garden all afternoon after taking the afternoon off from his work. His wife was away on a business trip and wouldn't be back until tomorrow. It was so hot outside that he needed a cold-ish shower to cool off.
His wife had only left a couple of days before but he was already really missing the possibility of making love to her. He'd always had a fairly strong sex drive, and his beautiful wife wasn't one to put a dampener on it. They had always had a healthy sex life, full of a mutual desire for each other, and each other's pleasure. As he washed his body of the sticky sweat from his afternoon labours, his mind went to the outfit his wife had been wearing on her way out.
His wife was a successful professional in her field (the reason she'd been called away), and she'd always been a confident woman. She felt comfortable in her body and that confidence carried over in her composure and dress sense. She didn't dress in a slutty way, she didn't feel the need to. She didn't need to arouse men for validation, but she also wasn't ashamed of her body in any way and didn't feel the need to hide it. She just wore outfits she felt complimented her womanly figure and had little care for whether other women were intimated by her or men were titillated. The light, short sleeved, button down summer dress she'd worn when she left had more than once found itself in an untidy pile on the floor before she could step out the door. It had been all he could do to stop himself from causing her to miss her flight on this occasion.
As his mind went back to the goddess he felt lucky to call his wife, his penis went hard and his hands found their way down to it. He was picturing one of their many memorable sessions of lovemaking as he masturbated, needing little time to bring himself to orgasm. A poor recompense compared to the real thing.
When he finished his shower he grabbed a towel and dried his body. Since he wasn't expecting anyone else (and in truth he would have even if his wife was home), he hadn't planned on putting any clothes on unless he needed to step out for any reason. Maybe if the heat finally died down later, he might put on a light layer to stay comfortable. He was still drying his hair as he walked down the stairs, his still semi hard erection only just dying down, when he heard a cough that nearly gave him a heart attack.

He quickly dropped his towel down to his crotch and steadied himself with his other hand on the counter before looking up to see his daughter waiting at the kitchen table with a cold drink in her hand and a smirk on her face.
"Hey daddy, surprise! Do you meet all your guests that way?" She teased with a laugh.
"Baby!" Her screamed with delight. "I didn't know you were supposed to be coming home this weekend? I'm sorry, I wouldn't have put on such a show if I'd known you were here.”
He grabbed his towel and rearranged it around his waist then walked over to his daughter to give her a big welcome hug.
"Please don't call me that that" she chided him gently.
"Darling, you'll anyways be my baby.” He replied with a faux stern look. “I was there when you were born and was the first person to hold you in their arms. Even before your mom! …if only for a few seconds. I was there to change your nappies, there when you said your first words and took your first steps. I was there your first day of kindergarten and school, and I was there when we took you to college. You will always be my baby..."
"...and I always expect you to call me daddy" he added.
"Oh all right" she grimaced with a smile at the corner of her lips. "Anyway, don't you want to put something a little more decent on?" she asked with a cheeky look to the rather small towel wrapped around his waist.
He'd never been ashamed of his body. He knew he wasn't going to scare any of the testosterone dudes at the gym with his physique, but he was a lot more sporty than most men his age and kept fit with the various sports he enjoyed. He'd always loved being physically active outdoors and still had a very healthy lifestyle. But still, it didn't really do to walk around naked in front of one's daughter.
"Sure, you carry on making yourself comfortable and I'll pop upstairs and slip some clothes on"
He leapt up the stairs with a spring in his step at the joy of having his daughter home, and tried to find something comfortable to wear in this heat. He took out some loose pyjama trousers and a T-shirt since he figured he probably would not be heading out again this late in the afternoon. As he got dressed he finally took some time to process that his daughter had just seen his half-erect penis, but figured she might not have noticed.
"So, how long are you staying?" He asked as he came back down the stairs. "And how long have you been here?"
"Oh, only until Monday,” she replied "and I'd only arrived a couple of minutes before you came down. Where's mom?"
She was finding out that parents don't usually feel the need to keep their children up to date on their whereabouts once they fly the nest.
"Well, your mom was invited to a conference this week. She won't be back until tomorrow evening. Sorry to disappoint, but you'll have to make do with daddy for now"
"Oh daddy, I'm not disappointed. I could never be disappointed to spend some time with you" she replied with a pout.
She'd always loved her dad. Some of her earliest memories were of riding on his shoulders feeling like she was on top of the world. She'd always admired how strong and smart he seemed to her. As she'd grown up and become conscious of other kids' parents she realised that, while all healthy children think their dads are the best, hers was probably measurably better than many of them. He wasn't necessarily stronger, taller or smarter than every one of them, but as a complete package she had often told herself that she was lucky to have such great parents, and especially her dad. When, as a teenager, her school friends had started going on about how cringe their parents were, she'd played along to fit in but she'd never lost the admiration and respect she had for her parents.
"Anyway, since I have you to myself, what do you say to ordering pizzas and having a movie night?" She asked. "Your pick of film"
"Sounds like a fine idea. Star Wars good for you?"
She rolled her eyes at him, but really she liked the idea. She'd always been daddy's girl and it was him who'd given her a love of SciFi and fantasy.
"Sure thing" she replied. "Why don't you order while I go upstairs and take a shower? I've been driving all day and it's been ever so hot... You know what pizzas I like"
"Deal!" He replied as he held out his hand.
