Can You Keep A Secret?

Chapter 5

She quickly filled Belle in on all of the details leaving nothing out, even her solo adventures later that night. Throughout the whole story, Belle had sat there open mouthed in shock. Holly finished with a “What do you think?” and waited.

Belle’s blue eyes sparkled with amusement as she said “That sounds hot!”

Holly slapped her on the arm playfully, “You aren’t taking this seriously. Come on! Alex must think im some kind of freak. Why did my dad fly off the handle? Who spanks their adult daughter? Why was he asking me about s*x? And what is wrong with me that I enjoyed it! That’s crazy!”

Belle paused, “Well the way I see it, and feel free to correct me if I’ve heard you wrong: you’re smoking hot sugar daddy of a step dad, who is in no way related to you, went mad with jealousy when he saw you with another man, something which has never happened before. He found a pretence to punish you,” Belle used air quotes around punish, “and let his curiosity get the better of him. And you enjoyed it because of all of the above and you must be just a little bit kinky. As for Alex, who cares what a boy thinks when you have a gorgeous man at home”.

Holly stared at Belle in disbelief.

“Come on,” Belle said in exasperation, “what you have just described is one half of my fantasy. The only way it could have been better is if he had followed you into your room and finished what he started.”

“You cannot be serious!” Holly exclaimed, “He’s my dad!”.

“Stepdad,” Belle corrected, “as I said, not related by blood. You must realise he is good looking. I’ve told you loads of times the things I wish he would do to me.”

Holly rolled her eyes, “I thought you were joking!”

Holly had always known Marcus was attractive. She had even had a little crush on him before she realised he was way too old for her and nothing could ever happen. But having something nice to look at round the house never hurt. At 6ft 4, with a lean muscled body, a chiselled jaw with just a hint of stubble, dark hair and piercing grey eyes, Marcus was any woman’s perfect description of tall dark and handsome. More than that he was kind, caring, fun loving and always had a smile for Holly.    

“Do you think I could get sugar daddy to spank me?” Belle asked, snapping Holly out of her reverie.  

Holly slapped Belle on the arm again, “I’ve asked you before not to call him that.”

Belle raised her eyebrows, “Why? Its true. He could take care of a girl in every way and now I know he’s a little bit kinky, maybe I can tempt him with my charms,” Belle fluttered her eyelashes at Holly and burst out laughing.

“Look, all I’m saying is you have a smoking hot guy who lives in your house. From everything you have ever said he has been great to you when he doesn’t have to be. And from that performance last night, maybe his protective dad thing comes more from jealousy than anything else. You were saying you wanted to be more open to things and ticking off some of your firsts. Maybe he is a safe pair of hands to show you the ropes.” Holly opened her mouth to speak, but Belle cut her off, “Just think about it. And if you decide not to do anything, let me know so I can make my move. Catch you later babe.”

With that Belle flounced out of the cafeteria, throwing a wink over her shoulder at Holly.
