We have always been a very close family. I was indeed a lucky man to have two such loving women in my life.
While my daughter Sandra was still officially a girl, she was very mature for her age. At seventeen, at sixteen, at fifteen, even at fourteen, she had an incredible intellect, as well as a way of connecting with virtually anyone within minutes of a first meeting. People of all ages, all races, all nationalities, all languages seemed to gravitate to her, revere her, and the love she shared with me and her mother Sherry was also shared with virtually everyone she met.
As Sandra's eighteenth birthday approached, Sherry and I sat together one evening trying to think of ways to make it incredibly memorable for her. A party was already being planned, but that would occur on a Friday night; her birthday would be the previous Tuesday.
"She'll legally be a woman," Sherry said aloud, "and that's rather significant."
"True," I agreed, "but she still won't be allowed to have alcohol, and almost no car rental company would allow her to rent without a significant price increase due to her age."
"Okay," Sherry countered, "but what can she legally do at age eighteen?"
"Vote," I said instantly, given that the presidential election was very much on my mind. "She can make her own medical and legal decisions, open her own credit card and bank accounts."
"She can make her own legal decisions," my wife reinforced. "That means that Sandra can legally consent to sex."
"That's true..." I was not at all certain what point Sherry was trying to make.
"What does it take to make a girl a true woman?"
I finally understood my wife's point, and remembered fondly the night when I had transformed her into a true woman: her eighteenth birthday. Seven years of friendship had finally culminated in my confidante and soul mate truly bonding with me in the ultimate way possible. Even though I was nearly nineteen at the time and very inexperienced in sexual matters, I had recognized the incredible bond being formed as Sherry and I undressed each other, tantalized each other, and finally drew together so intimately that we could almost have been conjoined twins.
"I know how close you and Sandra are," she noted. "I know you'd sacrifice your life for her, as you did for me." (That was a reference to when I was stabbed several times in protecting her from a mugger.) "She reveres you. She once confessed to me that she's never dated because she doesn't believe anyone can live up to the standard that you've set. You're more than a father figure to her, and I know that you see her as more than a loving daughter."
"That's all true," I agreed, "but what are you implying? Do you have a plan in mind for her upcoming birthday?"
"Definitely," Sherry confirmed, "and I think it's a very fitting plan."
"And that is...?"
She paused for a moment. "I think you should do with her as you did with me on my eighteenth birthday. I think you should make her a true woman."
While my mind objected to that, to having sex with my own daughter, my own flesh and blood, my heart instantly overruled, finding it a great idea, a way that I could bond in a unique manner with someone I so dearly loved.
Yet, I wanted to be absolutely sure that this was something I truly wanted to do β and was willing to do βboth for and to my own daughter. "Give me a few days to think about this," I suggested, "just to make sure that this is truly a good idea."
Sherry smiled, and leaned forward to kiss my cheek.

Sherry and I planned the event. Sandra was already on birth control pills to regulate her menstrual cycle, so unlike my first time with Sherry, I could deposit my love inside my daughter's body. That prospect made me look at my offspring in a new light.
It would be easy to take the afternoon off from work, to be home when Sandra returned from school and perform her transformation while her mother was away. I would be alone in the house with my daughter β there would be no fear of someone interrupting us.
But, of course, even though I knew that Sandra adored me, I did not have much confidence that she would agree to this bizarre celebration of her eighteenth birthday, and I mentioned this concern to her mother.
"It won't be an issue," Sherry responded pointedly, and that was that.
I knew that Sandra owned some nice bras and panties. On occasion, I would see a rather aesthetic bra hanging on a post of her bed, and I would then wonder for days afterward why she would put a bra in such a place. A few times, I would be passing by the staircase as she was ascending and innocently look up to see directly up her short skirt and observe the hint of her panty. But Sherry's idea was that Sandra should wear something truly sexy on her eighteenth birthday, and so the Saturday before the big day, Sherry and Sandra went shopping.
I happened to be home when they returned, and I saw that Sandra was carrying a bag from my wife's favorite lingerie boutique. When my daughter realized that I was looking at the bag, she blushed heavily, something she rarely ever did, and scurried quickly upstairs to her bedroom.
At last, Tuesday morning was upon us. As the two most important females in my life finished eating breakfast, I gave them each a loving kiss to the forehead before heading out to the office to get an early start to make up a bit for the lost time in coming home around lunchtime. My last glimpse of Sandra that morning was of her hair wrapped in a turban-styled towel, her favorite white terrycloth robe, and the Hello Kitty slippers she had worn every morning for several years.
