I've always been a Daddy's Girl. Even before mom died when I was thirteen. But when I turned eighteen that phrase took on a whole new meaning.
Let's start at the beginning.
My name is Mary Dubose. My father is Jackson Dubose, a successful entrepreneur. I've been taking care of him since mom died. I do most of the house work, cook dinner almost every night, make sure he can find his briefcase after he misplaces it for the fourth day in a row. Honestly, the only thing I've ever wanted is for my Daddy to be happy again.
I go to a private catholic school - my mom's wish. Neither Daddy nor I are very religious but mom was and it's one of the many ways we honor her memory. I look a lot like her actually. At a day over eighteen, I stand at five foot three inches. I have auburn red hair, green eyes, and freckles on my pale skin. I have the hips and butt of a volleyball player (because I've been on the team since freshman year of highschool) and small, B-cup breasts.
Although I'm on the volleyball team, that's where my school involvement ends. I'm liked well enough, but most people find it odd that I'd rather stay in on the weekends with my Daddy than go out with friends. I'm quiet and sheltered and I never quite know what the girls on the volleyball team are talking about when they talk about boys.
I guess you could say I matured slower than most. Once, we had a two-hour sex ed class where the teachers tried to explain that we'd start having 'urges' that were 'totally natural' and we would be tempted but that sex should be between a husband and wife and we should all save ourselves until marriage. That was fine by me because I can honestly say I'd never experienced said urges until the Monday after I turned eighteen.
Daddy came through the door at six o'clock on the dot. I heard the front door open and close and then his warm voice floated into the kitchen, "That smells delicious Mary. What are we having for dinner tonight?"
I turned to smile at him as he entered the kitchen. "Honey sriracha chicken and rice," I replied.
He walked over to me, kissed my forehead and then opened the refrigerator to grab a beer. "How was school today princess?"
"Good. Tommy Sneed got expelled. Apparently he got arrested over the weekend for smoking pot."
Daddy shook his head. "I always said those Sneed boys were trouble. That's what happens when there isn't proper discipline in a household."
I nodded. Daddy was always right about people.
I stood on my tip toes and reached above my head to grab the olive oil in the cabinet above the stove.
"I'll get it for you baby girl," Daddy said moving into place behind me. He reached up and I could feel his body pressed against my back, his breath hot on my neck. An unfamiliar feeling tightened in my belly. And then he was moving away, setting the oil on the counter next to me.
I felt hot and flushed, but that was probably from the stove. I turned to say something to Daddy but he was regarding me with a strange look on his face.
"Did your uniform skirt get shorter this year?" he asked, staring at my rear.
I nodded. "A little. Coach has us doing squats everyday before practice," I replied.
He shook his head. "I know your birthday was yesterday but I think I just realized you were an adult now. Seems only yesterday you were my little princess running around in your little saddle shoes and frilly socks."
I rolled my eyes before throwing my arms around him in a big hug. "I still am your little princess Daddy. And I still wear socks," I told him. I stretched out a leg so he could see my white, knee high uniform socks.
He chuckled. "That you do baby girl. That you do."
That night, I was just starting to crawl in bed when I heard a knock on my door. "You can come in Daddy," I called.
Daddy came in and I thought he looked handsome in his low-slung sweatpants and no shirt. That was usually all he wore around the house. Tonight I had on a pair of green cotton night shorts and a matching tank top.
Daddy sat on the edge of the bed and I scooched over to make room for him. It wasn't uncommon for him to come in my room before bed. He'd sit with me and play with my hair until I fell asleep, something we'd started after mom's death. Tonight started out exactly the same as usual.
I laid my head in his lap and he began stroking my hair. Sometimes his fingers would travel down my arm and back up again.
"You really have grown up, haven't you Mary?" he asked as his hand ran down my arm. His fingers accidentally brushed my breast as he brought his hand back up. The sensation sent a shock through me.
I nodded against his lap. He sighed heavily.
"I guess we should have The Talk then huh?"
I pushed myself up to look at him. "What talk Daddy?"
His warm brown eyes met mine. "About sex," he answered.
I immediately felt a blush spread across my cheeks. "Oh."
"You're an adult now, Mary. A very beautiful woman and at some point a man is going to try to seduce you. You need to be prepared for that." His voice was steady, confident. I bit my lip and nodded.
"Will you help me be prepared?" I asked quietly.
He smiled. "Yes princess. Lay down, I'm going to show you a few things. Ok?"
I swallowed and nodded before laying on my back. Daddy loomed over me. He touched my cheek, running his thumb over my lips.
"Have you ever been kissed baby?" he asked.
I shook my head 'no'.
"Has anyone ever touched you in your princess parts?" he asked, his hand trailing down my neck, between the valley of my breasts, to just above the waistband of my shorts.
His touch sent little jolts of electricity through me. Was this normal? Daddy was acting like it was normal. I shook my head again. "No one has touched me Daddy," I answered softly.
