He heard a car door slam outside, and peeked through the blinds. His door was unlocked, and he saw her fast approaching. He didn't want to delete the computer image he had worked over for hours. Panic! He was wearing only his boxer shorts, and had been nursing a sweet erection while he labored happily over still another work of erotic art. He left the computer on, but quickly turned off the monitor, and dashed down the narrow hall to his bedroom. Francesca ordinarily would have waited for her dad to let her in, but she caught a brief glimpse of him fleeing the computer room. More curious than not, she let herself in her father's mobile home.
"Dad?" she called out. "In a moment, hon!" Roberto replied. "Be right there!"
Francesca's mom and dad had divorced many years ago, and she really didn't know her dad that much. He married a second time--- to a flashy blonde 20 years younger, but divorced her. Now avoiding serious relationships, he had moved several times, but now lived alone, not far from Francesca's house. She and her father had had their ups and downs over the years, but their relationship was improving.
"Can't stay long," she called out. "What are you doing?"
"Be right there!"
he replied somewhat nervously. She noted that the green light on his computer was lit, but that the monitor was turned off. "Inquiring minds want to know," she thought to herself, always curious about what her father did by himself. Listening for his return, she turned on the monitor, and stared dumbfounded at the image on the screen. She had never posed nude for anyone, but her father had obviously manipulated a photo of her so that she appeared nude. Not only nude, but bound and gagged! She heard him coming, tried to catch her breath, slammed the door, and left. Roberto heard her car roar away. "Oh shit!" he said as he looked at the still-present image of his beautiful, nude, bound- and- gagged daughter.
Roberto wanted desperately to call her, to apologize for his sin, to beg her not to walk out of his life. Francesca and her husband Randy were seeking a divorce, so her father doubted she would tell him. And she and her brothers were out of touch. Whatever Roberto had told his daughter in the past, had usually gotten back to her mother. After all, Roberto was low man on the totem pole with Francesca and her brothers; ex-wife Corrine had been the family "matriarch" who had always tended to her grown children's needs after he left the state and remarried. But Corrine had died unexpectedly several months ago. Even if Francesca hadn't told her husband, she would most likely slam the phone in Roberto's ear.
He felt like committing suicide. He loved his daughter....yes....like a daughter. He cursed the devil within, who, he felt, took advantage of Roberto's still raging testosterone to wind him in like a helpless fish. The problem started a few summers ago, while Francesca was tending her garden. Roberto found himself staring at his dark-haired daughter's tanned and shapely long legs, and experienced an enormous unavoidable erection. Francesca must have known, when she invited him to her kitchen for lunch, and he declined with embarrassment. Francesca was certainly not an exhibitionist, and Roberto theorized that, like her mother, she was maybe even a little frigid. Yet, how could she not know that her strikingly sensual Romanesque face and slender curves aroused men, especially when when she wore her favorite summer outfit: a flimsy sleeveless blouse (when she raised an arm, a lightning-fast glance revealed the lacy white bra that caressed a small, untanned, milky white mound of young breast), and the utterly skin-tight, tattered and torn (Lord!) blue-jean short-shorts that hugged her luscious loins.
Not hearing from Francesca for several weeks, and afraid to call her, Roberto decided to send her a letter. Had Randy still been with Francesca, Roberto never would have dared send it. It started out as an apolgy, but went on to explain his feelings. There was no room for denial. Francesca had seen the image of herself, naked and bound! She knew she was always in her father's thoughts!
"Dear Francesca,
Oh God, I am so sorry! You are my only daughter, and I love you more than life itself. I would give my own life for you! I can only beg you to forgive me for the dark sin that has long stained my rotten soul. Sometimes, I wish I could just do what the Bible says, cut off the part that makes me sin! I recently saw a TV movie about a loving husband who was hopelessly addicted to outside sex. That's me! All my miserable life! But why have I sinned over you, my only daughter, the sweetest, most innocent young lady in my life? I suppose only the devil knows! I suspect it is because of your very innocence! One day. I came across an old photo of you, and realized how litttle time we had spent together. And, then, I started getting....feelings! I am a pitifully unworthy father! My flesh is weak! You are so beautiful! Tall, slender, golden-tanned, marvelously formed, with the most shapely long legs I have ever seen!
Your face! Oh God, your face is the most erotic part of your being! You are..... forbidden fruit! Francesca, I want you to know that I would never touch you! I would kill anyone who threatened to harm you! I know you have been having problems with your husband. God, you are so beautiful!!! If you do not excite him, he is a senseless, sexless fool! Normal, red-blooded men lust over you! My flesh, too, is weak! I suspect you will never want to see me again! I love you. I know I am sick, but mostly from guilt and sorrow! Yet, all I do is hope and pray that you will someday forgive me! I wish there were something I could do to fix this! I will love you as my daughter forever! I will love you as a woman forever!
