Following, you will find the second installment of the tale of Maddie and Steve, a tale of coming of age and rebirth. Pretty dramatic, eh?
It's chapter two; do I need to suggest you read chapter one? I don't do any recap, so it is advisable. However, you are the reader and who would I be to tell you what to do?
Chapter three is not too far behind.
"You're fucking my daughter now? You filthy pervert. I bet you couldn't wait until I died to get your disgusting hands on her!" Steve was strapped to a chair as Carol circled him. Steve heard something slap.
As she prowled into his view, it made perfect sense that his now dead wife was a military officer, even one styled as a stripper in khaki hot pants, low cut tunic, black thigh-high boots, and wielding a riding crop.
Whipping the crop against her boot, Carol interrogated, "What? You think you can marry her now that I'm gone? You've created your own personal little porn star? Why don't you answer me?"
Steve's voice was stuck in his chest, unable to escape to proclaim his innocence.
"Answer me, worm!"
"uuunnhhh..."
Carol began to shake him. "Answer me, Steve! Or should I call you 'daddy'?"
"Daddy!"
"uuunnnhhh..."
"Daddy!"

Not long before Maddie turned seventeen, her world had been turned upside down. Maddie's mom was diagnosed with advanced cancer. There were no obvious signs but a routine checkup pointed to some serious problems. Her body had numerous tumours and treatment was ineffective. She died a year later, in the early spring.
After the funeral, a number of family members stayed around for about a week, offering support and help. It was good to feel that love but it only held back the grief.
Steve and Maddie said goodbyes and closed the door as Steve's brother left them alone now in the house. Steve went to sit in the living room as Maddie stood by the door.
She walked back in the room with quiet tears dripping from her eyes. Steve beckoned her and she sat on his lap, head buried in his shoulder and she sobbed. His hands soothed her back and stroked her hair. Maddie shifted a bit in his lap and she didn't think much of the bulge of pressure she felt against her butt cheeks. Nothing felt wrong and she just snuggled in harder, wallowing in the comfort of her Daddy as she grieved.

Steve woke to Maddie gripping his shoulders.
"What's happening, daddy? Were you dreaming?"
Carol's angry face was replaced with Maddie's as Steve regained his senses and focus. It was with both relief and shame that he took in Maddie's gentle face.
"That was bizarre!" was all Steve could muster.
"What was it about?"
"Uuuhhh...the house was on fire or something. It's fading," Steve lied.
"I don't smell any smoke, but you sure have lit a fire down below for me," Maddie teased as she snuggled closer, draping a leg over his. "Good morning."
"Good morning, precious," Steve offered, attempting to manage the sudden conflict he was overcome by.
Sharing a kiss with Maddie, Steve's conscience was soothed. Maddie was still in his bed and still very eager for him. He may have violated something, but it wasn't his baby girl.
Absentmindedly, Steve was caressing Maddie as they lay in bed. Steve was keenly aware of the lusty furnace planted on his leg, as Maddie snuggled close with her head on his chest. He was brought to attention by her hand snaking down to stroke his morning wood.
"Need a little something to whet your appetite?" Maddie purred.
Despite his new reservations, Steve's cock twitched at her touch. Biology, however, had a mind of its own. "I need to freshen up a little before anything like that, sweetheart. Let me go to the bathroom."
"Careful how you pee with that thing. I don't do ceilings," Maddie laughed.
"Yeah, I've got the technique down. Only took learning to do it while standing on my hands."
They both laughed and Steve was especially grateful for the lighthearted exchange. Everything was alright between them, well mostly. He loved Maddie just a little more right then.
He got up and made his way to the en-suite. His first order of business was to quell his erection so he could empty his bladder. His mind was fully occupied with the present situation as he waited.
I feel guilty. What kind of future can we have? Did I betray Carol or was that just an overactive imagination? I've second-guessed good decisions before. Maybe that's it. What if it was just a heat of the moment thing? That's certainly not it; she's been moving on me for months. And last night had all the marks of premeditation.
Nonetheless, a glimmer of a plan formed. He owed it to both Maddie and himself to ensure that last night wasn't some hastily executed, misguided adventure.
He was done peeing and brushed his teeth and made his way back to bed. He was going to be very careful to ensure Maddie wouldn't feel rejection. She had put a lot out there for him and, no matter what, he was very grateful. No woman ever had been so generous and desirous of him, taking so much risk for his sake.
