Yesterday David Snow's daughter had turned eighteen.
He sat on the sofa, reading. He was forty-two, but he still loved literature. Like he had when he was Rosemary's age.
She and David were blond-haired and blue-eyed. Like his wife, Karen. She had left the house to run errands.
David was a father, a bookworm, and virile, as if he were a teenage boy. Other men his age might struggle with cumming multiple times in one day, but not him.
Sunlight streamed into the living room through the windows. David flipped a page of his book, then soft lips pressed against his cheek.
"Hey, Dad," Rosemary said.
She stood near the sofa, dressed in a purple hoodie and gray sweatpants. No shoes. No socks. She ran her thin fingers through her long hair, touching blonde locks that David sometimes kissed.
"I'm just doing some reading," he said before tapping the page. "You know me, Rose. I can't stay away from books."
Rosemary put a hand on his shoulder. "And I can't stay away from you."
She looked around the living room.
"Mom is still gone," she said. "We have the whole house to ourselves. We can have so much fun today. Don't you want to do something more exciting than reading? That book isn't the only thing that will make you happy, you know."
"Of course it isn't," David said. "I have you, and I have your mom, too. Reading isn't the only thing that makes me happy."
Rosemary sat next to him. "That party you and Mom threw for me yesterday made me happy."
Rosemary would never have another eighteenth birthday party, but she would always be David's daughter.
"I'm glad it did," he said. "You deserve to be happy. Me and Mom are really glad that you're with us, and that is never going to change. We love you. And we're never going to stop loving you. I promise. You've made my life so wonderful, and I want you to know that."
Rosemary smiled, and seeing her smile was like looking at a beautiful flower.
"You've made my life so wonderful, too," she said. She put a hand on David's thigh before rubbing it. "Very wonderful, actually. I love you, and I love Mom. But I'm happy that she's not here right now. Do you want to know why? It's because I have you all to myself."
David nodded. "Yeah, you do."
"It's good that you're not running errands. I want you here. I want all of you here."
Rosemary patted David's thigh.
"I'm going to sit right here," she said. "Put that book down and show your daughter some affection, Dad."
David put the book onto the coffee table. "Okay. You're never going to be too old to sit on your old man's lap. Come here."
Rosemary sat on David's lap. He put a hand on her back, and she held his other one. Her warmth was sweet, like a hug from a good friend.
She leaned against David before saying, "This is nice."
"You're not wrong about that," David replied. "See? Reading isn't the only thing that makes me happy. You make me happy, too."
"Good."
Rosemary gave David a quick kiss on the lips. He chuckled.
"That was new," he said. "You usually kiss me on the cheek."
"I wanted to try something new today," Rosemary told him. "There's no harm in giving my dad a kiss on the lips, right?"
David shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with showing some affection."
Rosemary moved off his lap, and she sat next to him on the sofa. He almost told her to sit on his lap again. She hadn't done it long enough. It wasn't bad for a man to want to be close to his daughter, and David hadn't forgotten that.
"I'm a legal adult now," Rosemary said. "I'm a woman, and I can be with men now. Real men."
"Try to be with someone your age or close to it," David said. "You're eighteen now, but that doesn't mean you should start dating men who are in their forties."
"But some men in their forties are hot," Rosemary said. She put a hand on David's knee. "Some of them are very hot."
"I wouldn't know. I spend my time reading and doing other things, not looking at men in their forties."
Rosemary moved her hand to David's shoulder. She rubbed it.
"You deserve to have someone looking at you, admiring you," she said. "There's so much you deserve, actually."
Rosemary gave David a kiss on the cheek. The kiss was a simple one. She had given him one on the lips, but that had been a normal kiss, too. He didn't want to kiss his daughter like how he kissed his wife. The only person David should give a passionate kiss to was Karen, the beautiful woman he had married.
"I've been wanting you for years," Rosemary said.
"You already have me," David said. "I'm always going to be here for you. You know that."
For eighteen years, David had known the teenage girl sitting next to him. He comforted her when she cried. He had taught her how to ride a bike. He sometimes kissed her forehead when she slept.
"You're sweet, Dad," Rosemary said. "That's how I know you deserve this."
David put a hand on the sofa's soft armrest. "Deserve what?"
Rosemary kneeled on the sofa, and she moved her hands toward David's crotch. The metallic grinding of a zipper coming undone met his ears, and then Rosemary found her dad's soft penis.
"What the fuck?!" he said.
The warmth from Rosemary's hand felt good on his dick. Regardless, she was his daughter. She shouldn't touch the limp thing in his underwear. She didn't take it out of his pants, but she did touch it. The girl did something that wasn't right.
"Rosemary Lear Snow, what the hell are you doing?" David said. "Let go of me. You shouldn't touch me there."
David had loved reading King Lear, but he didn't love incest. Rosemary shouldn't hold her father's penis. It didn't matter how much they loved each other.
"Relax," Rosemary said. "What are you going to do? Hit me? I just want to give you nice kisses and a good hand. Let me. By the way, saying my full name isn't going to stop me from having my way with you. A beautiful girl is touching your dick. Most men wouldn't be complaining if they were in the same situation as you."
