Can You Keep A Secret?

Chapter 10

Marcus felt bad. Ever since the night Holly had come home late, he had been avoiding his daughter. His realisation that he had a strong physical attraction to the girl he thought of as his daughter, had left him with an overwhelming feeling of guilt. He didn’t know what to do with himself. He wanted things to go back to normal, but normal was hugs and kisses and messing around together. He was worried if he did those things he wouldn’t be able to control his feelings around her.

So he had thrown himself back into his relationship with Sarah, convinced all he needed was another woman to take his mind off of his daughter and the impure thoughts he was having. Marcus spent all the hours he wasn’t at work with Sarah. The only thing he couldn’t bring himself to do was sleep with her. The idea of being balls deep in Sarah and calling out Holly’s name filled him with dread. So he had kept things strictly PG for the time being and Sarah didn’t seem to mind.

Holly had definitely noticed and had started acting strangely in response. It seemed like the more he was pulling away from her, the more she was trying to grab on to him – most of the time physically. Their physical contact had increased exponentially. She was always hugging him and kissing his cheek and taking any opportunity to brush past him. He thought it was her natural reaction to sensing the distance between them.

He had dismissed what he had overheard the night he listened outside of her bedroom. It was insane to think a teenage girl would be attracted to her 40 year old father. He convinced himself he must have misheard her or potentially even imagined it completely when he was overwhelmed with lust for her.

After avoiding her for a few days, Marcus had decided enough was enough. His distance was clearly affecting her and he needed to step back into dad mode. That’s why tonight he hadn’t made any plans with Sarah and instead was planning to cook a meal for him and Holly to enjoy together.

“Welcome home baby. I hope you had a great day at school. Its just you and me tonight and I am cooking your favourite,” Marcus called when he heard the front door open. Instead of a response he heard a snuffling sound from the hall. He went to check and was shocked to see Holly standing in the hallway crying.

‘Babygirl, whats the matter?” Marcus asked rushing to embrace her.

“Nothing Daddy, its silly.” Holly mumbled into the hug, burying her head in to his shoulder.

“Please tell me darling. Im your dad, I want to help make it better. Tell me what the problem is.”

Holly pulled away from him and started walking towards the kitchen,

“I just…just had…a really bad day at school.” Holly sobbed.

Marcus followed her, “Tell me all about it sweetheart.”

“Ok, but don’t stop cooking Daddy, I don’t want to spoil our special evening.” Holly sniffled drying her tears.

“Righto, I will get back to work whilst you tell me what happened.” Marcus confirmed turning back to his cooking.

“Well… it’s a little embarrassing… im not sure where to start.” Holly said.

“Start wherever you like sweetheart. I am listening,” Marcus threw over his shoulder.

“Alright. Today we were playing netball at school. You know how much I love netball Daddy, its my favourite thing to play.” Marcus hummed in agreement. Glancing back, he saw that she had lifted herself up so she was sat on the kitchen counter. He also realised that she was wearing another mini skirt, and the soft, creamy white of her thighs was on full display. He quickly turned back to his cooking.

 “Well I played really well and my team won. I was so happy that the team had done well. Obviously we had all worked really hard so we needed showers after the game. We went back to the changing rooms and started to strip off and get into the shower.” Holly paused. Marcus gulped, he genuinely had no idea where this story was heading but he needed to concentrate on being there for his daughter and not fantasising about her and other teenage girls naked in the shower.

“That’s when the other team came in. They were clearly upset that they had lost and they started insulting us. They said some  horrible things to everyone, but I was really upset about what they were saying to me.” Holly started to sob again.

“Oh darling, you shouldn’t listen to anything those girls said. They were clearly jealous of you and the team for winning.”

“I know that” Holly sniffled ”its just I think the things they said might be true.”  

“Let me be the judge of that. What did they say?” Marcus replied confidently.

“Well they said that they could tell that I was still a virgin and that nobody would ever want to f**k me because I had the ugliest p***y they had ever seen. They said I may as well become a nun, because no man in his right mind would ever go near such a nasty p***y even if they were drunk.” Marcus froze. What the f**k he thought. Literally someone out there is doing all of this just to torture him. Marcus scrabbled around for something to say to reassure her, that wouldn’t give away that he was dreaming of burying his face in her sweet s*x.

“Be honest with me Daddy, is what they said true? Do you think I have an ugly p***y?” Holly asked. Marcus turned to face her and saw that she now had both her legs up on the kitchen counter, splayed wide giving him a full view of her p***y. 

Marcus gasped and started to stutter, “Hol…Hol…Holly, put your legs down.” At that, Holly burst in to a fresh wave of sobs and covered her face with her hands.

“Its true. I told you it was true. You do think I have an ugly pussy.” Marcus rushed over to her and wrapped her in his arms, kissing the top of her head.

“That’s not what I said. Babygirl you have the most beautiful p***y I have ever seen, the must beautiful p***y in the whole wide world.” And it was true. It was the most beautiful p***y Marcus had ever seen. It was a perfect pink colour, with neat symmetrical folds and a little bud of a c******s nestled in at the top. It was totally clean shaven and glistening, as if inviting him to go over and touch it. He had wanted to rush over and find out what it tasted like, burying his face in that tight, wet hole. That’s why his first reaction had been to tell her to put her legs down, he was worried if she didn’t, he would lose control.

Marcus continued “More than that, you are a gorgeous girl inside and out and I know for a fact those girls were saying mean things to you because they are jealous.”

“Do you really think so?” Holly looked up at him with wide shining eyes.

“Of course babygirl. Your Daddy wouldn’t lie to you,” he said as he kissed her on her forehead.

“Thank you Daddy. You have made me feel so much better. I love you.” Holly threw her arms round him. “You keep cooking, I will go and change for dinner.” Holly jumped down from the counter and headed out of the kitchen.

As she left Marcus saw a big smile on her face, and watched her wipe her tears. He was glad he had cheered her up, but that had been a close call.
