AIDAN

“This morning, I found something incredible, so you’ll have to excuse me if I’m reticent about losing that. That’s also why I can’t just forget about what happened, but I won’t push. We’re both here to relax, and that’s what we should do, okay?”

She nodded, the relief still clear on her face. “Thank you.”

“Oh, and Clio?”

“Yes?”

“Let me know if you want any more help in the water while you’re here,” I told her. I tried to ignore the fresh jolt of want that shot through me, especially when her cheeks reddened and a small private smile tugged at her lips.

Lila bounded back in, her face lit with excitement. “I’m so sorry, guys, you wouldn’t believe all they have planned for me tomorrow.”

“Oh, I’d believe it,” I said, thinking of my own law school days and all the grunt work I did just to get one tiny space closer to my goal. “Fill us in, my girl,” I encouraged, and Lila proceeded to do just that. Ever the planner, she also went into a long list of suggestions for Clio, even though

    CLIOA gentle breeze swept past the sheers, carrying the salty ocean air that filled the room. Stars reflected off the water, casting a faint glow as I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. I should have been drinking in this beautiful environment, letting the sea air cleanse my spirit, but instead, I was tossing and turning, fantasizing about my best friend’s father. No place was safe from the memory of Aidan’s hands and lips on me, and deep down, I didn’t want a safe place. That morning had been incredible, a memory I’d cherish forever. But how was I supposed to reconcile that with the fact that the man who made me feel like a sexual being was my best friend’s father? At dinner, it wasn’t embarrassment plaguing me—it was the unsettling realization that I genuinely liked him. If he weren’t Lila’s father, I’d be texting him and mooning over him to her. Our romp on the beach had awakened urges I’d never known. Aidan didn’t have to try; he’d simply been himself—hot, reassuring, comfor

    AIDAN Considering this was my vacation, I didn’t have to wake up this stinkin’ early, but old habits die hard. It wasn't like I was getting that much sleep anyway. The last two nights I stayed up well into the night working my body as hard as I could, though that still was not enough to drive away my urges for Clio.Yesterday, I gave in and checked in with the office. I’d promised myself before I got here to only spend an hour or two a week on work, but I blew that promise the day before as a means to stay away from the one person I so desperately wanted to spend time with.None of these feelings made sense. A few days before, I’d been struggling with the worry that I’d never find anyone that interested me enough to want to pursue a relationship or anything even close to one. Now, in such a short time frame, I’d managed to not only meet someone who sparked feelings in me I’d never felt before, but I’d also managed to find the one woman who was unequivocally off limits to me. There

    AIDANLila reappeared, decked out in a tailored blazer, slacks, and a simple button-down shirt. She’d swept her hair up neatly into a no-nonsense updo. She tugged nervously at her blazer. “What do you think?” she asked, worrying her bottom lip with her teeth.“Beautiful, sweetheart,” I told her.“Ditto,” said Clio. “You look like you’re ready to nail a perp on the stand.”“But—”Clio put up a hand. “I know, I know, that’s not what you’re going to be doing there.”“Honestly, I’ll be lucky if I see anything past the inside of a filing cabinet today,” Lila lamented.“That’s ok, it’s a start,” Clio said as she moved forward and fixed a piece of hair that had gotten loose from Lila’s clip. “Aren’t you always saying dress for the job you want?” she reminded Lila.Lila gave her friend a teasing smile. “Is that why you’re always wearing those long, flowy boho skirts and hippie t-shirts?”Clio huffed out a laugh. “Well, I don’t know what job that would be preparing me for.”“A children’s music

    CLIO Just keep moving forward—that had been my mantra for months. Nothing lasted forever, so I had to forge ahead.But this time, I wasn’t sure I wanted to. Not when leaving meant giving up the maddeningly sexy man in the beach house who made me feel safe, comforted, and on fire all at once.This didn’t make sense. I’d felt desire before—I was human—but what I felt with Aidan was unlike anything I’d ever known. It was as if I’d die without his touch.Cursing under my breath, I drove to my surf lesson. After our kiss in the kitchen, I’d fled to my room, tempted to pack and leave, but something stopped me. Why should I run?I was mad at Aidan too. He had to know this was a bad idea, yet he kept urging me not to lie to myself. Who did he think he was? Sure, he made me want him, but who needed that kind of drama?At least my anger killed any nerves about the lesson. Toni, my instructor, was a no-nonsense brunette who emphasized instincts. “Nature often defies logic. Trust your instincts

    CLIO His mouth worked its way to my breasts, and my fingers clutched the edge of the piano as he yanked the cups, forcing my flesh to spill free. To my satisfaction, he nearly hissed when he laid eyes on my chest, and his mouth wasted no time in showing the same kind of love and attention he paid to my neck and lips.I was resisting the urge to move my hips when his tongue started licking at my nipples, but when he closed his mouth around one and started gently sucking, I could feel myself clench. I let out an anguished moan. I was enjoying every bit of this foreplay, but I needed some relief fast. I hadn’t even realized that I’d started grinding my hips against him until I heard his husky chuckle against my breast, the vibration of his laugh only making my need that much sharper.“Aidan, please,” I whimpered.“Patience, love, you know I’m going to take care of you,” he assured with a sexy grin before sucking my other breast into his mouth and letting his hand trail down until he wa

    AIDAN It wasn’t too far a stretch to realize that Clio was going to drive me crazy. Every touch, every taste of her just made me want so much more. There was a big part of me that realized that I was barreling headlong into one hell of a heartache, but I also could not have stopped myself if I wanted to. She was like an addiction. I was already plotting how I could get my next fix.Hearing her tell me that she wanted everything I had to give had been nearly orgasmic all on its own, but what we did on that piano? God knew I’d never look at that piano again and not think of Clio, our pleasure and longing all rolled into one. Not to mention the little memento I’d grabbed off the floor after Lila went to go shower. Clio’s pink panties now resided in my pocket, and I was not planning on giving them back.Now, we were on our way to pick up dinner, and shy, little Clio was lighting into me with a vehemence that was not helping my barely contained desire. “What the hell are you thinking

    AIDANI listened eagerly to the details of her day while also keeping an eye on Clio. I enjoyed the way the two of them interacted.In a bizarre way, Clio was much more maternal towards Lila than Lila’s own mother. Of course, that wasn’t terribly surprising. Obviously, Lila’s mother and I had gotten along well enough at one time, but after Lila was born, our differences became glaringly obvious. Unfortunately, we weren’t different in a way that complimented one another. She seemed to resent motherhood and spent the first few years of Lila’s life seemingly trying to recapture her youth. I thought at first it was just a symptom of postpartum depression, but as the years wore on and she seemed to continue to rally against parental responsibilities, it became more and more obvious that our relationship was not built for the long haul. Of course, her final betrayal sealed the deal for our doomed marriage. As much as that betrayal hurt, I often thought her lack of attachment to our daughte

    CLIO Morning arrived with soft sunrays filtering through the shutters. Stretching, I relived the events of the past day, refusing to worry about being found out with Aidan. Instead, I focused on the joy of the grand piano, now holding a new meaning for me.Dinner went smoothly after a few hiccups, ending with us scattered in the living room watching a movie. Lila, exhausted from her first day at the firm, passed out halfway through.Later, lying in bed, I thought about the car ride with Aidan. With Michael, conversations often felt forced, as if he were molding me into his ideal. Aidan treated me as a whole person, appreciating me for who I was.I wasn’t one of the "pretty ones" like Lila or Scarlet. Still, Aidan’s gaze made me feel like a prize—a new, intoxicating feeling.I’d drifted off for a little while once everyone had bedded down for the night, but I woke up around midnight. I decided to take advantage of my balcony while it was quiet. I slipped out of bed and through my balc

    Xavier I take a seat on the couch and Hazel obediently bends over my knee the way she’s been taught to do. Although she’s getting what she wants, I’ve turned it around on her, and now she’s nervous. Asserting my dominance, something I hope we’ll incorporate into our relationship more and more, has made this interaction even more enjoyable for me. My cock is getting hard as she stretches out over my thighs.I run a hand up the back of her legs, taking a minute to enjoy the sight of her laid out like this. The uniform is so perfect, so innocent… I love the feel of the rough wool of the skirt, and her childish little knee-high socks. I’ve always wanted to fuck her in her school uniform, and the anticipation of it is making my dick throb.I run a hand up to her ass, over her panties, enjoying the feel of her under my hand. I slide a hand under the fabric and squeeze her ass, and that’s when I notice her panties are very wet. They’re practically soaked through.“Dirty girl,” I growl. “Wha

    I turn to see Xavier’s Jaguar rolling up to the curb behind me.It’s one thing to make fun of me, but it’s another thing altogether to see the three of them laughing at Xavier, delighting in their characterization of him as some kind of pervert. A protective reflex snaps in me. I don’t need these kids in my life. And after today, I’ll never see them again.Besides, I think, catching a glimpse of Xavier through the window, what the fuck are they even laughing at? Xavier is gorgeous by anyone’s standard, one powerful hand on the steering wheel, the light highlighting his strong jaw covered in a rough scrape of beard—a few days’ growth I find very sexy. He’s driving a goddamn Jaguar, and what do these boys have going for them? Kye has the Jeep that was given to him by his parents, and Christine has already told me that Eric has trouble getting off because he watches too much porn.These assholes don’t have the right to say anything to me.“Hey, it’s Daddy!” laughs Kye. “You gonna let him

    Imagine how she would react if I told her the truth, I thought.But what’s done is done, and once I’d told her that version of the story I had to stick to it, constantly adding new details that I thought might make it more palatable for her. ‘He acts younger than he is,’ I told her. ‘His wife got custody of the kids, so he doesn’t have them anymore.’ Every lie I added to make it sound better only seemed to make it sound worse. At some point, I started thinking the truth would look better in comparison.When the teacher’s phone alarm rings, she orders us to put down our pens and collects our papers, and then Christine and I head to our lockers together to clean them out. It’s our very last day at school. Our last day in this building, our last day as high schoolers. And, I can’t help but wonder, maybe our last day as friends. Ever since I started telling Christine about my older boyfriend, ‘Jack,’ it’s only seemed to make her angrier and more judgmental, like I’ve disappointed her some

    “You’re going to Cathy’s house?”“No, actually. I’m going back to New Mexico. Jack called and we talked it all out.”I still have no idea why she left New Mexico, can barely retain the name Jack. There have been so many men on the sidelines of my life with Melanie that after a while they all started blending into meaningless noise. Jack or no Jack, it doesn’t matter. It all comes down to Melanie. Melanie leaving. Melanie creating drama. Melanie being all about Melanie.“Uh, okay. Great.”“Unlike some people, Jack is capable of learning and growing, and now he understands that without my art, I’m nothing, Xavi I’m nothing.”“Melanie,” I interrupt her. “What about Hazel? Are you going to call her?”She gives a heavy sigh. “I wasn’t a bad mother, you know.”“I didn’t say you were.” I didn’t say it, no, but I’ve come to realize I’ve been thinking it ever since I first met Melanie and Hazel—at least on some level. Ever since Hazel’s hand was only big enough to wrap around one of my fingers

    “Jesus Christ, Hazel,” he groans. “Fuck. I’m looking forward to fucking your ass. I’m going to fuck you so deep and so hard in your tight little ass.” He presses his finger into my hole, making little circles around the rim as everything inside of me draws tight and suddenly I’m screaming, crying out as I turn inside out and Xavier moans loudly, rolling his head back against the wall as he comes.As his spasms subside, he lowers his head back down and smiles at me, and kisses me softly. Our eyes flicker as they dance back and forth, looking deeply into each other’s. For the first time that I can remember, he doesn’t feel like my stepfather, and I realize that we’re becoming peers. Two humans that hold the key to the other person’s ecstasy. He’s my lover.With a swing of his arm, he lowers me onto my side—foreheads still touching, legs still interlocked, his cock softening but still inside of me. I’m dizzy with happiness, inhaling his breath and his skin. It’s the closeness I crave and

    He pulls me down hard against him, his erection pressing against my sore pussy, and I wriggle against him, the soreness almost pleasant, arousal blurring and transforming the pain.“I want to give you something special,” I say timidly. “I wish I could have given you a better Father’s Day gift.”“Oh, sweetie.” He smiles. “I love your gift.”“But I mean, I want to give you something else. If you want to.” Suddenly I’m heating up with embarrassment. Surely this isn’t that hard to say. “Anal sex.” I blurt it out. “I thought maybe…would you like that?”“Sweetheart,” he says gently, then his whole face transforms as a smile pulls at the corner of his eyes. He laughs—a delicious, low rumbling sound. “Wait. Are you saying you want to give me anal sex for Father’s Day?”I can’t help but laugh either, an almost hysterical and involuntary reflex. When he puts it that way…it highlights the absurdity of this whole thing.“I guess so,” I giggle. “I didn’t really mean it that way, but I guess so.”“

    HazelI Lie Awake in bed for a long while, wondering if Xavier will sneak in at some point. I’m alternately hopeful and despairing. Last night, it felt like nothing could ever come between us, but tonight, watching my mother flirt so overtly with him at dinner, I’m not so certain. It made me hotly jealous to find out they had sex on their second date. More than that, it was the fond smile the memory evoked in Xavier. What if my mother has somehow weaved her web around him again?I text Christine to chat but she seems standoffish and aloof.Are you just trying to chat or is something up? she eventually asks.Just chatting, I answer. Wanted to see how you are.I’m fine, she answers. Now you know. Why aren’t you chatting with your secret older boyfriend?I sigh and don’t answer. I don’t know how to. After staring at my phone blankly for a while, I put it down and stare at the ceiling instead.So Xavier and Melanie had sex on their second date. It’s painful to think of them being together

    Every Daddy is a reference, a hidden threat to her mother. She’s feeling brave enough to flirt with danger, but I act like it’s perfectly natural. Like she’s always called me Daddy.The card is simple: ‘You’re the very best father I ever could have imagined. Thank you so much for everything you do for me.’ The book is a small coffee table book about architecture in Switzerland, not the most inspired gift, but I’m touched by the sentiment. “Thank you so much, sweetie,” I say, giving her shoulder an affectionate squeeze.“My turn,” grins Melanie, lifting a gift bag up from her feet and sliding it over to me. It appears to contain a bottle of wine. Better be a five-hundred dollar bottle of wine, I think to myself.But when I open it up, it’s not. It’s a seven dollar wine at best, but one that surprises me with the warm memories it brings up. I laugh with genuine mirth as I pull it out of the bag.“Almaden!” I exclaim, chuckling. “Oh my God. How did you ever find this?”Melanie laughs too

    Mon dieu. “I thought you said you were sore.”She nods. “I don’t care. If I have to sit through dinner with Melanie pretending that everything is perfectly normal between us, I at least want the pain to remind me that you secretly fucked me in the bathroom.”It’s hopeless. My dick is hard already, throbbing in my pants. How has Hazel become such a filthy little girl so quickly? I’m equally shocked and turned on at the forbidden scenario she’s imagining. The one thing I can’t bring myself to tell her is that her mother has already guessed it—and doesn’t care. That, more than anything, is something I never want Hazel to know.“Turn around and put your hands on the counter,” I say in a low voice, turning off the water and unzipping my pants. I stand behind her, lining my cock up with her entrance and lean forward to murmur in her ear. “You’re a dirty little girl, aren’t you? You want me to fuck you while Mommy’s downstairs?”“Yes, Daddy,” she whispers. I squeeze a hand around her hip as
