Not a Child Anymore

Rae slept like she had never slept before, waking in David\'s arms and watching him sleep for several moments. She didn\'t want to wake him, knowing he would have a killer hang over, so instead she eased off of the bed and got in the shower, hoping that the hot water beating down on her shoulders would alleviate some of the shock of what had occurred the night before. She didn\'t regret any of it at all, but she couldn\'t get the sense that what she and David had done was wrong, plain and simple. She figured that almost everyone on the planet would also agree with this assessment. The simple fact remained that she was an adult, and turning 19 in 8 days, and if David wanted to commit adultery, that was no one\'s affair but his and his wife\'s. Of course, while what they had done was perfectly legal, it was morally wrong in so many other ways besides adultery. Of course, there was the age difference, and that David had been like a father to her all these years, and for him to harbor such feelings towards her, as a minor or otherwise, was ethically wrong for most.

\'So we\'ll never be able to have a relationship openly,\' she thought to herself, while soaping up her hair. Rae stopped suddenly with that thought. \'A relationship? I\'m thinking about having more than just last night with him?\' She scrubbed her scalp as she considered this. While she definitely didn\'t want things to get weird between them, she didn\'t want this to end yet. The night before had been amazing, some of, if not the best time she had ever had with a man, and she felt so comfortable with him, happy to fulfill his every wish. She had always liked a man who could dominate in the bedroom. Just remembering the way he had spoken to her made her cheeks burn, and to think that she had done exactly what he had said, that she had enjoyed it, was almost too embarrassing to bear.

Rae had never been one to participate in dirty talk or to give sexual instructions. It was frustrating and embarrassing to her to have to voice her sexual desires out loud, although for most people it seemed to come naturally. It was an insecurity that she was slowly getting over, and David knew it. More recently, their relationship had changed from that of a father/daughter to one that two close friends might have. She had shared things with him that she had never shared with anyone, and he had done the same, giving her helpful suggestions and encouraging her to be expressive in the bedroom. \"It\'s a huge turn-on for a guy,\" he had said.

When she had gone off to college they had stayed in touch, exchanging e-mails and talking on the phone for hours sometimes. He turned into a best friend and confident when she had no where else to turn. The fact that he knew her almost better than she knew herself sent shivers up and down her spine. She had never been with anyone who knew her so well.

She finished washing her hair and shut the water off with a finality she hadn\'t realized had been in her system. Grabbing two towels, one for her waist-length hair and one for her body, she wrapped herself in them and went out to wake David. He was still sleeping soundlessly and naked under the covers. Rae pulled them back and slid alongside of him, stroking his hair back from his face and tracing his laugh lines with her finger tips.

David woke slowly, savoring the feeling of Rae\'s soothing hands on his face. He had tried to keep the charade going for longer, but as her hands started to drift lower down on his body, he couldn\'t help but laugh from her ministrations. He had always been very ticklish. David\'s hands went to Rae\'s wrists when she continued to tickle, and pulled her on top of him which evoked a loud shriek from her.

He winced from the loud sound, and Rae quickly apologized for her outburst. David just smiled at her and pulled the towel from her hair, letting her damp locks fall into her face. She quickly twisted them into a knot at the nape of her neck and shot him a sinister glance. Laughing from deep in his belly, he quickly flipped her onto her back and positioned himself in between her legs. Rae suddenly realized that the only thing that protected her from his roving eyes was the small towel she was wearing. David also seemed to realize this and undid the small knot she had made at the top.

Peeling back the white terry cloth, he exposed rosy flesh and feminine curves, the after-shower glow still apparent on her soft skin. \"You\'re beautiful,\" he said to her, worshiping her body with his eyes. \"I don\'t think I\'ve said that enough to you.\" Rae blushed. \"No, really, you\'re absolutely breathtaking. Especially here,\" he said, kissing her on her neck. \"And here, too.\" He kissed her opposite shoulder. \"And here.\" He kissed her sternum. \"And how could I forget this?\" he asked her, kissing her belly button. She giggled as he continued, kissing her all over her body, taking the time to admire every crevice and nuance of her being.

He had just gotten to kissing her thighs with Rae shivering in anticipation when the phone rang. David let out a sigh and stood up. \"Don\'t move, I\'ll be right back, I promise,\" he told her.
