This is a true story of a daughterâs gift to her widower father. It was a privilege to write the story for them.
******************
Julie stood next to her father Cliff, her arms entwined in his as they watched the coffin lowered into the ground. Both scooped up a handful of soil and cast it into the grave, a daughterâs farewell to her mother a husbandâs farewell to his wife. Arm in arm, they sadly moved away from the graveside.
Later that day, Julie, an attractive 36 year old was busy in the kitchen preparing a meal for which she knew neither herself nor her father would have any appetite, but rationally she also realized that life must go on and they had to eat.
The meal was eaten quietly with only the clink of knives and forks breaking the eerie silence as they moved against the plates. Cliff didnât finish his, pushing his plate away he sat staring at the spot where his plate had been, tears welling in his eyes.
Julie sat still for but a moment, her heart going out to her father, quickly she moved too him and rested her hands on his broad shoulders, âCome on daddy, I know it hurts but mom wouldnât want you to be so unhappy. Let me pour you a stiff drink and then have an early night, you havenât rested properly since she passed on and you really do have to get some sleep.â
Cliff allowed himself to be guided from the kitchen into the lounge where Julie poured a generous measure of whisky into a glass. Her daddy took it from her with slightly trembling fingers, sipping the fiery liquid between his lips and feeling the heat as it coursed through his body. He took another sip and then looking at Julie with plaintive eyes said, âPlease donât leave me on my own tonight, I couldnât bear it.â
Julie had been toying with the idea of staying the night with her father, understanding his loss and the loneliness that now existed in the house. His plea had now made her mind up for her, she would stay the night and cook him a good breakfast in the morning before leaving for home.
Pouring her daddy another glass of whisky she then went to his room and sorted out one of her motherâs night gowns, nothing special, just a normal pull over nightie that would keep her warm and comfortable during the night.
A little later sheâd seen her father off to bed and went to her old room to change and get ready for the night. Putting the cat out she locked the doors and ensured the windows were secure before retracing her steps to her room, when she reached her fatherâs door she paused for a moment, tapped on the door and entered the room.
Moving over to where her father lay on the bed she bent down and softly kissed him on the cheek, âCome on daddy, itâs been a long day. Get your head down and try to get some sleep. Iâll cook you a nice breakfast in the morning.â
Cliff pressed his tall frame down beneath the quilt his head resting squarely on the pillow, âJulie! Would you sleep in here with me? I donât want to be on my own tonight,â he begged.
Julieâs mind cast back to all the times sheâd begged to be allowed to climb into bed with her mom and dad. She remembered the warmth, the cuddles and how safe she had felt pressed between their two bodies. âYes daddy of course I will,â she replied without hesitation.
Twice Julie awoke during the night wondering where she was. The first time she heard her father breathing deeply, he was turned toward her back and his hand was on her shoulder just resting softly against her. She smiled to herself, âAt least heâs resting,â she thought, placing her hand up on top of his, she drifted back to sleep again.
An hour later she woke again, immediately sensing that something wasnât quiet right, she lay still, her brain working overtime to take in the situation. A hand was covering her breast, holding it firmly but gently, pressing the soft flesh into her chest. She became aware that her father was now laying spoon fashion against her back but what stunned her more than anything else was the feel of his erection pressing against the crack of her butt.
For long moments she lay completely still, not daring to move a muscle, eventually she whispered, âDaddy?â but the only response was the deep even rhythm of her father sleeping alongside her.
Julieâs heart was beating wildly in her chest, her thoughts and body confused at the developments but gradually she came to realize what had happened. Her father exhausted from lack of sleep, the worry and trauma of the last few days and the generous serves of whisky had put him into a very deep sleep.
Unconsciously heâd sensed the warmth of the body next to him and Julie reasoned that Cliff had reached out for his wife and slept how they normally would have done. Julie accepted that, what she couldnât understand was the way her nipple had hardened beneath the pressure of his hand and the wetness that was forming between her legs. Even though she loved her daddy dearly, she had never in her life felt anything even remotely sexual for him.
These new sensations that coursed through her body had taken her completely by surprise and was at a total loss to understand what was happening and why. Her daddy moved against her back again making her even more aware of his erection that was pressing against her. It seemed that the length was about average but it also felt very thick, much thicker than any man sheâd ever been with.
Above all else, at that moment she felt helpless and trapped, like a kangaroo in the glare of the hunterâs spotlight, blinded, or a snake, mesmerized by a mongoose, knowing that whatever move it made, it was doomed. Julie was helpless in helping herself. Fearful that even the slightest movement would bring about doom and disaster and that this magic moment would be gone forever.
Excited, wet and content, she lay wide awake not moving even the slightest muscle in the loving arms of the man that had fathered her until the dawnâs light glowed in the bedroom window. . CHAPTER 2
