I woke the following morning feeling like shit. It had been a sleepless night of tossing and turning. I staggered out of the bedroom and made my way to the bathroom to shower. Even though the hot water eased my still aching arms, it did little to ease my emotional turmoil and I wasn't sure anything would.
After the shower I stood in front of the mirror, and looked at my grizzled face. I had a serious five o'clock shadow, and figuring that the first step to redemption was shaving, grabbed my razor and shaving cream and did so. After completing my ablutions, I threw on some comfy slacks and a shirt and headed downstairs.
In the kitchen I found Cory dressed in a loose fitting t-shirt and panties, sitting at the table sipping a cup of coffee.
"Morning Daddy. Coffee's fresh, would you like me to pour you a cup?" asked Cory, sounding way too perky.
"Uh, yes, thanks. Where's your sister?"
"She has classes this morning. How'd you sleep?"
"Not well."
"Oh, I'm sorry Daddy. Amy and I slept like logs." She then passed me a steaming cup of hot black coffee.
"C...Cory, we need to talk...."
"Can I ask you a question?" she quickly interrupted.
"Um, yeah I guess."
"Why did Mom leave?" The question stung and it was a question that I hadn't really dealt with.
Vicky and I had been married for almost twenty years and I thought we still loved each other. Then when she decided that she wanted to get her Masters of Business Administration, it was something I supported to point of paying for it. Had I known that less than a year later, I would get a Dear John letter from Belize stating she wanted a divorce so she could marry her extremely rich boss, I would've not been so eager to pay for her education. That was almost a year ago, and I'd managed to keep the whole episode emotionally buried in my psyche until now.
"You know why. She found somebody else."
"Do you still love her? You haven't dated anyone since she left, why?" Pressed Cory.
"Jesus Cory, I dunno why! It's just been an emotional time that's all!" Cory sniffed, obviously not satisfied with my answer.
"Cory," I continued, "we need to talk about last night."
"Did you enjoy the show? I know Amy did, and I sure as hell did! I'd never had a cock in my ass before and yours is so big, I really didn't think I'd get all of it in me!"
"Cory, I don't know what got into you girls, but what happened last night must never happen again. In fact, I think it'll be best if we never discuss this again."
"What do you mean?" Cory asked in almost a whisper.
"I think you know what I mean."
"No. No I don't think I do know what you mean! You need to explain it to me." I could see she was getting angry as her voice rose in volume and pitch. "Was Amy right? You really don't love us?"
"Don't be silly! Of course I still love you. I always have and I always will, but what happened last night was wrong. Parents....Fathers, if they're any good, don't go around making love with their teenage daughters. It's called incest and it's wrong, morally and ethically wrong." I got up and walked over to the sink where Cory was standing.
"Who says so? Society, religion? You always told us that the physical relationship between two people was the ultimate expression of love!"
"Yes, but I wasn't thinking that I would be the person you and Amy would choose!!"
"Why not? You raised us virtually by yourself, while Mom was off at school or out partying with her friends. Don't you think we don't know the sacrifices you made on our behalf."
"C...Cory.." I tried to interject.
"So who got hurt? No one. Then you come out all high and mighty, totally prepared to break our hearts and worse, acting as though you're ashamed of us. Well you know what? Fuck you!!"
"Cory, fer Christs sake...."
"Let me tell you something about last night. That was all Amy's idea. Yeah, that's right. Sweet, Innocent, demur little Amy. For ages we'd fantasize about what it'd be like fucking the most important man in our lives. We'd listen to Mom's moans when she'd let you have her, and we'd wish that were us. Lord knows, you'd never have to fight us to get us into bed. Anyway Amy wanted to lose her cherry, but not to just anyone like some fumbling boy she met at school, but to the man she loved more than anyone, that's right, you!! But she knew that if she just came out and asked, you'd turn her down flat. So she came up with this elaborate plan, figuring that if you experienced our love, our bodies, then you wouldn't have a problem taking her virginity, and we'd all get what we want and live happily ever after!"
"Cory I...."
"But no, that's not gonna happen. Why? Because you'd rather sit in your study pining after phantoms, ghosts. Well let me tell you something. She's not coming back....ever!!! A limo came and picked her up and in less time than it takes to boil an egg she decided that there's something better out there than you!"
"Cory, now just....." My own temper was beginning to rise as her words felt like whip lashes on my insides.
"Well maybe she was right to leave. Amy wanted a man to take her cherry, but you're not really a man, are you? You're a lonely, frightened little boy. An empty, unfeeling, pathetic, husk of your former self; Hardly deserving of the love Amy and I are capable of giving you. It's good Mom left, so she can't see what a loser you've become. Amy and I are leaving too. If she's going to have her heart broken, I'd prefer to be the one to do it and not some selfish coward like you!!"
"Now just one goddamn minute!!" I bellowed grabbing her arm.
"Let me the fuck go. I don't owe you a fucking thing," she screamed, "so fuck off!!!" She wrenched her arm free of my grasp and then swung, smacking me squarely across the face. After that everything seemed as though it happened in slow motion. All I remember was seeing red as I grabbed Cory with her arm behind her back as I forced her over my lap.
"I'm too old to be spanked you pervert!!! You wouldn't fucking dare!!!" She howled as I pulled up her shirt and ripped her panties off, throwing the shredded piece of fabric aside. I looked down at the quivering cheeks of her ass and could see the lips of her cleanly shaven pussy poking between her legs.
