Charity was on her hands and knees, scrubbing the stone floor. Morning light filtered in through the thin kitchen glass, casting an amber glow over the worn wooden table and chairs that were polished to a gleam.
She loved to clean and bake and make sure the small, cozy cottage was comfortable for her father. It gave her a sense of satisfaction to be able to do the things her mother would have done for her father had she not died when Charity was seven.
Resting for a moment and brushing back a long, golden strand, she knelt with her hands resting on her spread knees. Hard work had brought a pink glow to her cheeks and made her pale blue dress with it's drawstring neck cling to her young body wrought with feminine changes. She was eighteen that day, a woman grown. Her breasts had grown to small firm handfuls, evident by the shadows of their rosy crowns pressing against the thin, straining material. Her hips were sweetly curved, her waist tiny. Her legs were long and slender.
Closing her cornflower blue eyes, she breathed in deeply, enjoying the scent of crusty pastry. Her fingers stroked back and forward along her thighs, easing up the hem of her gown. It was hot and her skin felt sticky. Untying the drawstring of her bodice, she fluttered the material back and forth.
Feet on the stoop outside signaled her father was back from the fields just before the door swung wide. He strode in, and she rose, a welcoming smile lighting up her face. He was short and round in the middle, his hair graying. The years had not treated him gently. Frown lines marred his forehead and curved his lips downwards at the end. Charity had tried everything to make up for her mother's passing, yet nights would go by when he refused to talk, solemnly drinking ale before the hearth.
His faded blue eyes watched Charity intently, and she was curious at the strange glimmer in them as they swept over her.
"Charity," he nodded, sweeping off his hat.
"Pa. You're home early. The pea and corn pie is just about baked."
"Good, good. No need to fuss."
He watched her as she bent down to scoop up her bucket and brush, unaware of how her top gaped.
"Put that down, lass. I have something for you."
Surprise and happiness lit up her beautiful face as she rose. He remembered.
"Lay down." He motioned to his cot. It was the largest in the small one-roomed cottage, and rested along the far wall. Curious, she moved over to his cot to do his bidding, her hips swaying. Easing down in the middle, she swung her legs up and lay down on her back, her large blue eyes curious as she settled herself comfortably.
"You're a woman now, lass," he told her, and she silently watched him fiddle with the front packet of his trousers. "Your mother would be proud to know you're learning to please me in everyway a wife can."
"Oh, Pa, of course I want to please you." Her cheek dimpled as she lay there, her fingers winding in her long hair. He moved to stand at the end of the cot, his hand moving beneath his long, stained shirt. It looked at though he was pumping up and down on that odd dangly bit she had caught a glimpse of from time to time. He gazed down at her young body in a way that made her feel sort of tingly and warm between her legs.
When he climbed over her and pressed down on her with his heavy bulk, she clutched his upper arms in surprise. His breath smelt of stale coffee as he lay atop of her, his eyes barely reaching her chin. She gazed down at his balding head, his shifting body pressing her deep into the cot. Her thighs widened as his legs settled between hers.
"Pa..." she began, wondering at this strange closeness, but not knowing what it was she was wanted to ask.
She felt his moist mouth close over a nipple through the thin cloth, and she moaned in surprise. It felt ticklish and pleasant as he suckled her, so much so that she didn't notice his hands pushing up her dress. Cool air stirred the golden curls at the apex of her spread thighs. He moved on top of her, and she felt something nubby rubbing against her there. Then he sunk down hard on her, making her young flesh yield to the surprisingly firm odd part. He thrust deep into her tightness, stretching her so that tears gathered in the corner of her eyes.
Charity gasped and wiggled at the burning uncomfortable feeling, not at all sure she liked it. She lifted her knees, trying to ease the pain. Relief washed over her as he dragged his thing out, only to shove back in and drawing a choking cry from her.
His left hand clutched at her breast as he begin to buck on her, moving in and out of her tender flesh with his stubby odd thing. She had seen the pigs grunt and groan on top of one another, and knew it had something to do with this.
Her father's breathing was harsh, his sweaty body awkward on top of hers. She clutched at him, feeling a pleasant sensation mingle with the pain and pushed her hips down experimentally on him.
"That's it, lass," he grunted against her chest. Emboldened, she moved with him, meeting each punishing thrust, her hips arching.
He jerked on top of her, shuddering and groaning as he pulled out, spilling hot warmth over her thatch. Charity lay silent beneath him, shocked, curious and awed. She had never realized or thought there was room for anything to fit inside of her, let alone make her feel funny and odd. Not a good odd, but not a bad one either, after a while.
They lay like that for moments, catching their breaths. Finally her father patted her hip. "Good girl." He bussed her cheek before rising off of her. She lay unconsciously with her legs sprawled, her gown pushed up about her waist. He sucked in his girth as he did up his pants and belt, before smoothing down his shirt. His face was ruddy, but there was a gleam to his face that brought tears of happiness to her eyes. For the first time in years, it looked as though her father had found something to be cheerful about.
A month passed, and the change in her father was small, yet noticeable. He was often home earlier after working his fields, eager to eat his meals before motioning for her to lift her gown. He sometimes made her lay on the cot, face down or up. Other times he was too impatient, and sat her on the kitchen table while he clutched her bottom and worked himself inside of her. After that first time, it was easier, and after a while, she learned to look forward to the nice sensations of him rubbing along inside of her.
That morning, he had shaken her awake while it was still dark and told her that the man who bought their wool would be along that day. "I want you to be nice to him, lass. Treat him as you would me. Do what he asks and don't be shy." Charity nodded sleepily, scrubbing her eyes. "Your ma would be proud."
When there was a knock on the cottage door later that morning, she rushed over to answer it. Before her stood a largish man, perhaps wider than he was tall. His hair was dark yet thinning on top, but he had a pleasant ruddy face and nicely kept beard.
"Good day, miss. I'm Mr Fletcher. Your pa sent me along to say hello."
"Good morning, Mr Fletcher," Charity dimpled. "I have some fresh pie, if you would like a slice."
"Smells like apple with a dash of cinnamon. My favorite."
He came in and closed the cottage door behind him. He was a lot taller than her father, his whiskey brown eyes on level with her own blue ones. As she set about getting a plate and laying it on the kitchen table beside the covered pie, he came up behind her and lightly pushed his pelvis against her bottom.
She was surprised, but didn't object when his hand on her back pushed her down so that she leaned over the table, resting her weight on her elbows. The position seemed to thrust her bottom up. She waited to see what he would do next, seeing as pie wasn't on his mind.
"You have a mighty comfortable home here," he told her as he rucked up her skirt. She murmured a polite thank you as he eased her ankles wide with his booted feet. "And you're just the prettiest thing I ever did see. I thought your pa to be boasting, but I see I was wrong."
She squirmed a little as his finger poked and prodded at her tight entrance. "I see you like that. Damn pretty and eager. I like that."
Charity gasped when he thrust into her unexpectedly, her muscles tensing around the swollen post that was decidedly thicker than her Pa's. He rammed deep, then pulled out, then forced home again. He did this over and over, his fingers clutching her hips, the air shuddering from his lungs as though he was trying to breath underwater. She forced herself to relax, and soon the unpleasant fullness became easier to bear, then something akin to pleasant. Her soft gasps were drown out by his grunting shouts, and her eyes flew wide as he began pinching her tight nipples through her gown.
He lasted far longer than her father. His thickness worked deep in her moistening pussy, and after he came against her thigh, he blubbered and sobbed while she held him.
He was all smiles and gentlemanly when she finally served him up a slice of apple pie, blushing whenever she looked in his direction.
