AIDAN

Lila 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.”

    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

    CLIOI bit my lip in heady anticipation as he took my hands. “Clio, there is no special trick to touching me.” He looked at me carefully, the corner of his mouth rising. “I’m giving you control now—do what you want to do to me enthusiastically, and I promise I’ll love every second of it,” he said.He placed my hands on his chest, then put his on my hips, holding me close to him but still giving me free reign. I didn’t know where to start, so I did what I liked so far and kissed him. It started tentative at first, but just like all our other kisses, it very quickly spun out of control. During the kiss, my hands started to roam. I petted the beard scruff on his jaw with one hand while the other one wandered down.I decided immediately that I liked the way the hair of his chest tickled my palm. I decided I loved the way his stomach muscles clenched beneath the light touch of my fingertips, and then, they were at the waistband of his swim trunks.Get out of your head, Clio, just feel.

    AIDANWhen I saw Clio out in the water that morning, there was no turning back.I’d been trying to distract myself and my body from thinking about her for hours on end after our little text exchange. Those messages hadn’t even been all that scandalous, yet they made my blood run hotter than I’d ever known before. How was it that I’d lived this long and had never known a desire or a need as potent as what I was feeling for Clio? I could have no more stopped myself from going to her when I saw her on the beach then I could have made myself stop breathing.Taking someone’s virginity was no small matter, and it was not exactly something I would sign up for on a regular basis. Clio telling me she’d never been with anyone should have given me pause, but somehow, the knowledge that I would be the first one with her seemed only right. What was a problem was the fact that I also wanted to be the last one with her.I was in some serious trouble.If I had been entertaining the notion at all tha

    AIDANI fought the urge to sneak down to her room. She shared a wall with Lila, and it would be much too risky. So, I settled for texting her back:Me: Yes, baby girl. Just needing to work off some excess energy…I can’t stop thinking about you.Clio: I can’t stop thinking about you either. Today was amazing.Me: That’s an understatement. Don’t think I’m done with you.Those last words couldn’t be truer, but I knew there was going to come a time in the not-too-distant future that I would have no choice but to be done with her. I tamped down the streak of panic that ran through me at the thought and returned to my phone, typing quickly before I decided against my idea.Me: Hey, I know you have a surf lesson tomorrow, but don’t make any plans…I have a surprise for you.***The night took entirely too long to go by, and I thought Clio’s surf lesson would last forever, but I distracted myself by catching up with a few work calls. I was wrapping up my conversation with my assistant when Cli

    “Don’t call me that,” I mumbled.“What, kiddo?” Jaxon had grinned, making my knees weak all over again.I’d shaken my head. “Can you just call me Everly?”He’d held my gaze, his hand still stroking the small of my back.“And I think it was the Everclear,” I mumbled, turning to dry heave at the thought of the high-proof booze that was notorious for making teens wasted.Jaxon had helped me into the house. He’d made sure my dad didn’t wake up. He’d washed my face with a washcloth, carried me into bed as the dizziness took over, gave me a glass of water, and tucked me in. He didn’t call me kiddo after that night.…He swapped to “Everclear” instead.There in the house that summer afternoon, I knew we were alone again. Tara and Amy were outside, my dad was golfing, and Catherine was at a happy hour somewhere. I tiptoed to the door to the lower level, listening for the sounds of him working out, but the lights were off and it was quiet.If frowned, my fingers twisting together as I’d headed

    EpilogueHazel“These Plans All need to be reviewed by Xavier,” says Cynthia, dumping a stack of folders in my arms. In the year that I’ve been interning at Kearns & Rochat, Cynthia has become a friend, even though I maintain that she’s far too glamorous to hang out with me. “Drinks later?” she adds, as I turn to walk to the door.“Sure,” I say with a smile. It’s only been a couple of months since my nineteenth birthday, and it’s still a thrill to order drinks in a bar. Cynthia and I have been going out after work about once a week ever since I became old enough to drink.It’s nice to have a friend—someone who actually likes me. With Cynthia, I can be myself. She never judges me or turns cruel.I haven’t spoken a word to Christine, or anyone else from high school, since the day of our final exam. For a while, Kye was bugging me on social media, but now I’ve deleted all my accounts. Maybe it’s strange to say, for a nineteen year old with no social media accounts or friends my age to sp

    “Stepdaughter,” I correct him. “Ex-stepdaughter.” Out of the corner of my eye, I see Hazel returning to the table and cringe at my own timing. She smiles curiously at both of us as she takes her seat, probably wondering why we each look so uncomfortable.I take another deep breath. “I was just telling Bob,” I explain to her. “About us.”There’s a half second where she looks confused, like she doesn’t understand what I mean, and then relief washes over her face. “You were?” She blinks incredulously.“Yes.” Her reaction makes me care less about Bob’s. It’s pure joy for me to see her this way. I will do anything to make her happy. It doesn’t matter what people think.“Wow,” Bob says, still looking stunned. “Sorry. This is taking a moment to compute.”“Of course.” I tear my eyes away from Hazel’s glowing face to look at him. “I didn’t mean to shock you. But I do want to be honest with you.”“Yes,” he says emphatically, nodding his head. “Please. Always. Listen, I can’t judge. I had…I mean

I drive her to school, pack her lunch, make dinner, and take care of her as I always have.But at night, in the privacy of our home, we take on new forbidden roles, exploring a taboo that fulfills something unique in each of us. For me, being Hazel’s Daddy is about more than the taboo role-play. I enjoy the way it intersects with BDSM and allows me explore domination, as well as satisfying my need to express my love through caretaking. Being Hazel’s protector and provider adds a dimension of meaning to my life I didn’t know that I was missing.In our new dynamic, Hazel discovers a sense of security that I see reflected in her confidence.

    I press the head of my cock against her pussy and rub it slightly against her hole, enjoying how wet it is, before pushing myself in. She’s tighter than ever with the jewel in her ass, and she gasps loudly as I stroke myself in and out of her tight cunt until I have to stop myself abruptly, dropping my head and taking ragged breaths. I’m so close to coming already. I slide myself out with a shiver, heart hammering, and then run my thumbs over her cheeks, admiring the beautiful jewel peeking out between the two firm muscles of her ass.“Do you know how to take it out?” I ask her.She shakes her head. “No.”“You need to push it out, while I pull.”“Oh.”“No need to worry, it will just take a minute. Now do as I say.” I hold the sides of the jewel and pull lightly and she gasps in surprise as it slides out.Her asshole is perfect, tiny and dark pink from the weight of the plug. I place the plug on her bedside table and pick up the lube, pouring it generously over her hole, and rubbing it

    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
