Dressed in their sexy short dresses they made their way to the long queue that waited to enter the club like them. ‘Who remembers the time when we had to fake i.ds to enter in such places?’ giggling Emma asked. She was the mastermind behind this date today. ‘Unlike you, I never got a chance to experience that. My dad was one of the most loving but strictest man to ever walk the earth, even if I wanted to I wouldn’t dare.’ Connie replied. ‘Hahaha…I swear to you guys, I didn’t experience that because I never really tried. If I had not met you Emma I wouldn’t be here right now, I would probably be s

After yesterday’s ordeal Connie was hoping to stay in bed for a little while longer. She wished she had not locked the door this morning she didn’t want to leave her bed. The knock persisted and dragging herself off the bed, Connie went to unlock her bedroom door expecting to see her mom. She murmured as she opened the door ‘Mom couldn’t you…….’ She never got the chance to finish because standing at the doorway was her mother and stepdad. She was not expecting to see both of them at her door so she had not bothered to cover up, wearing only her panties and vest that did nothing to hide the outline of her round firm breasts Connie froze with embarrassment. ‘Honey, next time wear something descent when you are answering the door.
