Start of a Family Tradition
It all started innocently enough, or at least I thought so. When my wife and I got married, we had a "blended family", each of us bringing children into the relationship. She had a daughter who was 11 at the time we married, I had a son who was 17 and off serving in the military.
I was an auditing clerk, assigned to go through ledgers and records to make sure there was nothing there that might be "detrimental" to the firm when we were audited by outside agencies. My wife was an x-ray technician / supervisor at the local hospital. While her schedule routinely called for her to work swings (4pm-Midnight) or graveyard (Midnight-8am), my schedule was strictly Monday through Friday, 8am to 4:30pm. Needless to say, each of us spent many nights and days sleeping alone. We were lucky if we had 3-4 days a month where we were on the same schedule. But hey - she was getting night differential pay, holiday pay, etc., so you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Our daughter, CJ, was home for the holidays from college. She'd always been one to stay up late binge-watching television, and was never an early-riser. We didn't mind much, because she'd gotten great grades in college and already had an intership with a large company. She opted to come "home" to visit, traveling 2,000 miles to escape her roommates, whom she shared an apartment with. The fact that we had enough miles on one of the airlines for a free ticket didn't hurt matters.
One morning while showering and getting ready for work, I thought I'd heard the bathroom door creak on its hinges. I turned the shower off and looked, but I was there alone. It was an older house, so there were always strange noises. I figured it might have been the hot water making the pipes expand and contract, so I went back to showering, shaving, dressing and heading out the door.
The next day I heard the squeek again, but again there wasn't anybody in the bathroom with me. This went on for another day, but I just blew it off to things that go bump in the night with an old house. Got to the point where it was just "background noise" while I was showering.
When I got dressed one morning, I headed out to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee before heading out to work. My stepdaughter was there eating some cereal, looked up and with a devilish grin asked "How was your shower, Daddy? I could hear you singing all the way out here!" I just replied that EVERYBODY sounds better when they sing in the shower, and headed out to the driveway to head to work.
The next day, I heard footsteps coming down the hallway as I hadn't gotten into the shower itself yet, but was waiting for the water to get hot. The glass of the shower wall and door hadn't "fogged up" yet, so I was able to see when the door started creeping open. I pretended not to notice and kept on, lathering my hair up with shampoo.
As I was rinsing the shampoo out of my hair, I looked up and there was CJ - dressed only in a t-shirt (she always wore that as her sleeping attire), smiling and watching me. She looked at me, then down at my crotch, then back up to my face - with a huge grin on her face and a "Mmmmmmm" sound from her lips. She reached up and started teasing one of the nipples poking through her t-shirt, while her other hand pressed down through the fabric of the shirt between her legs.
