The first time my daughter, Vicca, ever showed interest in what my cock was up to was when she asked, "Daddy, can you still have sex with Momma?"
Despite the way it sounded, her question probably wasn't about my ability to perform. Yes, I suppose at 53 I was an old man compared to my nineteen-year-old daughter. My dick was old, too, just not old and broken.
I figured her question had more to do with her momma, Denise.
Two years ago at age 50, Denise had her third stroke. It left her pretty darn useless. She wasn't dead, but she might as well have been. There had been massive brain damage. She was bed-bound. She couldn't talk or express herself. Denise needed to be fed and bathed by others, and the doctor told us there was no hope for improvement.
Vicca and I brought Denise home from the hospital where Vicca went to work right away as Denise's caregiver. I didn't ask her to do it. Vicca didn't complain. She loved her momma.
Vicca had been seventeen when that awful third stroke happened. After two years of wondering, curiosity must have won over, and she asked me that question.
I responded, "Can I? Yes. Do I? No."
"Why not, Daddy?"
Denise and I married young, and we had five boys over nine years. After a five-year hiatus in babies, I assumed we were done having them, but Denise wanted one more. She wanted a girl. Along came Victoria.
We lived in northwestern Nebraska, and I kept 1100 head of cattle. The boys home-schooled with their momma and worked the ranch. When each, in turn, hit eighteen, I sent them off. One of them joined the Coast Guard. One of them went to college. The other three went off to be apprentice hands-on other ranches because I wanted them to earn their way through hard work, just as my father had made me.
From the minute she joined our family, Vicca and her mother were inseparable. Denise home-schooled her little girl just like the boys, but more diligently it seemed to me. I'd typically get the boys after lunch and then put them to work. With Vicca, I didn't see her until after 3:00. When I asked about it, Denise said, "Just like a regular school day." I didn't point out how the boys had been different.
As my daughter grew up, she never showed much interest in anything other than the ranch. Before the third stroke, Denise and I chatted about Vicca's future, and my wife seemed to think Vicca was intent on carrying on here. I fretted about it, but Denise assured me that some young hand would come along, and our Vicca would take up with him and be his wife and helper, just as Denise had been mine.
This conversation about her momma and I was bordering on inappropriate. So, I asked, "What's your interest?"
Vicca said, "Just trying to understand is all—husbands and wives in this sort of situation."
Denise had hereditary high blood pressure. Her mother, my mother-in-law, died of a stroke at age 57. So, after Denise's had her first stroke—a mild one—she began to quietly prepare for death or incapacitation.
Denise went to an attorney in Chadron and had a Last Will and Testament and a Living Will made up, signed, and notarized. There was a lot of paperwork in those files, but one of them surprised the hell out of me.
She had pulled that particular document out of the folder and showed it to me in bed on the night they had been finished. It gave very clear instructions that if she were to become unresponsive, she gave her consent to any sexual act her husband desired to perform upon her body.
"Denise, what in the hell is this?" I asked in shock.
She explained her thinking seriously and sincerely.
So, I shrugged and said, 'Well, alright, if that's how you want it."
Denise nodded. "And I'll have it no other way."
Then, I decided to kid her about it. "Any sexual act? Any?" I asked her with a smile.
"Any," she said, winking.
That night we did some things together we hadn't done in a while. I kept asking, "This, too?"
She kept saying things like, "Yes, that one especially."
It seems like so long ago now. I don't think either of us really believed it would happen, and neither of us figured what should have been obvious—her mindless body could never replace her.
So, I said to Vicca, "Well, since you put it that way, I'll shoot you straight. I tried once, and it didn't feel right—not so much touch-feel, you understand, but mostly heart-feel, I mean."
"Like guilt?"
"Maybe I felt guilty. I don't recall that as much as just wanting your Momma to respond, to be there kinda—be present with me, I guess people say."
Vicca hesitated a moment, then she very timidly offered, "If—If you ever want to try again, I could get her ready for you."
I didn't quite understand her meaning; my face probably showed it.
She explained, "After I wash her up, I could dress her in something special, and I could do her make-up and perfume. I'd put her hair any way you liked it."
I was quiet because I was imagining Denise, laying in our bed with that vacant, expressionless stare, but all done up like our wedding day. I didn't like the thought, but before I could say so, Vicca went on.
She said, "I could shave her legs for you, and—and anywhere else you might like me to shave."
I stared at my daughter.
Vicca continued, "And I can make sure she's prepared for you down there, make sure she feels right to you-on the inside I mean."
I could not believe what I was hearing.
Finishing, she said, "And when you're done, Daddy, I can clean up any—any mess. Get things back right."
I kept quiet until I knew she was done. Then I said, "Vicca, I don't think those things you're proposing will solve the real problem—that your momma, my Denise, isn't really here anymore."
"But will you think about it, Daddy? Just a little bit?"
"I don't see as there's any more thinking to do, but since you ask, I guess I will."
***
I didn't think about it for a second. What I wondered about was why Vicca cared enough about the situation to ask. I never did think of an answer to that.
Put crudely, I suppose Vicca's implied question was whether her Daddy was horny.
Appropriate or not coming from my daughter, was I?
Awfully so. Yes.
I hadn't felt that leaden, dead-weight heaviness in my nuts since before Denise and I married. Even when she had her monthly, she made sure I was satisfied. Even when she was pregnant, we took care of each other's needs. Even when I screwed up and created a ruckus between us, even then she would put the argument or the disappointment aside for a spell to share her body with mine.
I was going on two years without her. Yeah, I was looking at things differently.
There was little respite from the craving for flesh on flesh contact. Every day I woke up and went to bed longing for sex with a responsive woman. My labors on the ranch took my mind off of it, but only briefly.
As to Vicca's labors on her Momma's behalf, every week I tried to give my girl two full days off. I would spend those days with Denise, mostly watching tv in the bedroom with her or reading a book out loud between getting work done around the house.
I didn't mind taking care of Denise. When I smelled that Denise had messed herself, I'd clean her up. At mealtime, I fed her the pureed vegetables and bone broth she could manage to keep down. Most nights I slept in my oldest boy's former bedroom, but when I was on Denise duty, I slept beside her in our old bed.
When I took care of Denise, Vicca made the rounds on the ranch for me and then had her nights off, but she rarely went out.
