Chapter 10 – Tara's Night When I got to the door to my room it was just open a crack. I knocked and asked if I could come in. "Yes please Daddy, I'm waiting for you." I opened the door fully and entered where I was presented with a most beautiful sight. There on the edge of my bed sat Tara dressed in a filmy gown that hid but hinted at that which lay beneath. Tara had turned off all the lights, had lit some candles and had some soft music playing. "Come here Daddy. Make me a woman tonight. I freely give you my virginity." I was astounded at Tara's words but I did as she asked. I came and sat beside her and leaned down to kiss her on her lips. I looked at her and told her just how lovely she looked. Taking her in my arms I pulled her to me and held her in my arms. I whispered in her ear "Are you sure, my love. You can only give your virginity to a man once. Are you certain you want it to be tonight with me?" Tara broke away and looked into my face. "Daddy, I am absolutely sure that I want you to be the man to take my virginity. Tonight is the night and I want the man who takes my virginity to be you. I love you with all my heart." and with that she started to softly cry. "Tara, I will honour your wish. Tonight I will be the man to take your virginity." I said as I gathered her back into my arms. I let her go and pointing at her gown I said "May I?" meaning 'may I take your gown off'. "Yes please Daddy, please, please take it off." I did as requested and there was my darling thirteen-year-old daughter naked as the day she was born. I'd seen her many times in the last few months but tonight she looked even more beautiful than she had in the past. I picked her up under her knees and back and carried her, as you would a small child, to my bed where I laid her down. Before I joined her I took a moment to slip my boxers off. Once in bed I leaned over and started kissing her passionately and she responded in kind. Slowly I worked my way down her body kissing her in various locations. I could see from the flush that appeared on her skin that she was getting aroused and I quickly brushed my fingers over the lips of her pussy. That confirmed what I thought I could smell, that Tara was very moist and ready to have her cherry popped. I moved between her legs and started to enter her when suddenly I stopped realizing I had no condoms. "Daddy, don't stop, I'm on the pill so I can't get pregnant." I was both surprised and relieved but did as Tara asked and soon could feel that I was bumping against her hymen. "The next thrust will likely hurt, sweetie" I said. "I know, do it, I'm ready." was Tara's response. I drew back and as quickly as possible thrust forward again, breaking her hymen. I could feel her jerk and saw a tear in her eyes. "I'm going to just lay here for a moment to let you get used to it. You tell me when you're ready, okay?" Tara nodded and after a minute or two told me to continue. Over the next few minutes I alternated slow and fast moves and I soon could see, feel and hear that Tara was getting ready to cum. I concentrated on my own arousal and as I felt Tara cum, I came also, filling her pussy with cum for the first time. Once Tara was back down from her orgasm, I started to pull out leaving only her head of my cock inside her. "Look down here." I said pointing to our joined sex organs. "See that blood? That's the blood from me taking your virginity. You are now officially a woman." With that statement Tara's face beamed and she grabbed me in a big hug. I rolled over to one side and cuddled Tara. After a bit I suggested we go and have a shower to get rid of the remains of our love making. "We can shower together in my shower if you want." I said. Tara grabbed my hand and said "Come one, let's get wet!" and with that she pulled me into the shower. We had a wonderful time washing one another, especially those 'special parts'. After we dried one another off we returned to the bedroom. I hadn't noticed until then, but Tara had put a towel down on the bed before we made love. I picked it up and said to Tara "That was a good idea; it kept the mess off the sheets so we don't have to sleep in a wet spot." Tara took the towel out of my hand and blushing said "This is my souvenir of this night." I looked surprised but then smiled. "You know dear, in some cultures it is the norm for a girl's father to take her virginity and the towel is given to the girl's mother. It's often called a 'Mommy towel'." Tara smiled and ran into her bedroom to put the towel away. When she came back and we'd settled down into the bed I had some questions of her. "Tara, you had some surprises for me tonight." I started. "How did you get on birth control pills?" "Grandma Mabel goes to the same doctor that we do so when you promised me this night, I asked Grandma Mabel what I could do 'cause I didn't want to get pregnant. She arranged to pick me up from school one day and we went to see Dr. Wills. Grandma Mabel told Dr. Wills that I was having cramps from my period and that you were a bit embarrassed taking me to see him for birth control pills. Dr. Wills said he understood and gave me a prescription. She told the pharmacist the same thing so I got on the pills about three months ago." She stopped and looked thoughtful. "You aren't mad at her are you?" "Oh no," I replied, "on the contrary I'm very thankful for her help." "Grandmas Mabel and Helen helped me a lot. They bought the gown that I wore tonight. Grandma Helen said I needed a gown like that for this night. They also suggested the towel and the candles and music. Did you like the candles and music?" "That was wonderful. It made things so romantic for my lover and I to consummate our love." I smiled down at Tara who blushed and hid her face. "Come up here and give your lover a lover's kiss and hug then we need to go to sleep." Tara did as I asked and soon we were asleep. The next morning I woke up to Tara leaning on one elbow looking at me. The covers had slid down so that her upper body was uncovered. I was greeted by a smiling face and a beautiful set of boobs, boobs that just begged kissing so that's exactly what I did. "Tara, my love, how do you feel this morning? I think I'll call the school and tell them you fell and feel sore so you're going to stay home. I took a day's holiday today so we can lounge around here, maybe go out and have lunch then make supper for Ashley and us. How does that sound?" "Yeah, let's do that. I feel okay, but I am a bit sore." "Go and get into the bath and I'll look for the bath salts that your mom had for use in the bath." Tara did as asked and I found the bath salts and added them to the bath for her. Once she was laying in the bath, soaking and enjoying the feel of the warm water I went out and phoned Mabel. "I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for all you did for Tara and me. I was almost ready to enter her when the light went on saying 'what about a condom'. Of course I didn't have one and almost pulled out when Tara told me she was on the pill. She told me what you did and for that I am eternally grateful. Both you and Helen have been a godsend for both Tara and myself." I told Mabel. Mabel was quiet for a minute. "Thank you very much. One day I need to tell you a story and once you hear it you'll understand why Helen and I helped her. You probably didn't know but Helen and I grew up together and as teens, were almost like sisters. There's nothing that I've done that Helen doesn't know and vice-versa. For now let's just say I was very, very happy to help Tara and indirectly help you. (Several months later Mabel did tell me her story but that's for later.) "Did Tara do the things I suggested, the towel, the candles and the music?" she asked. "Oh yes, and she told me you'd suggested those things. It made for such a romantic atmosphere and I know Tara enjoyed the evening greatly. Speaking of Tara, she's staying home from school. How about I suggest she go over to your place and tell you how she feels?" I asked. "Wonderful." Mabel said. "Send her over just after 10 and I'll make sure Helen is here as well. She's been as much a part of this as I've been." With that we said goodbye and I went to get Tara out of the tub. I went into the bedroom and retrieved the memory card from the video camera. I'd set the auto-off feature to turn the camera off once the memory card was full and later I'd edit the data on the card, put the edited movie on a thumb drive and give it to Tara. I went into the bathroom and looked at Tara who almost looked like she was asleep. "If you stay in there much longer you'll be as wrinkled as Grandma Helen's dog." (Helen had a Shar-Pei dog.) Tara grinned and got out where I helped her get dry. She ran off to her room to get dressed and as she was doing that I went down to make Tara's favorite breakfast – french toast. When Tara came in and saw what I was making she grinned. "Oh Daddy, I feel wonderful and you're spoiling me with my favorite breakfast." "Nothing is too good for my new lover" I replied. Tara blushed but sat down and ate. We chatted about odds and ends and I told her about talking to Mabel. "So Grandma Mabel is going to invite Grandma Helen over and they want you to come over at about 10. You can thank them for their help and..." I stopped and raised one eyebrow a bit. "...maybe tell them about last night? You can tell them as much or as little as you want." Tara smiled "I'm going to tell them everything!" We puttered around until 10 when Tara disappeared off to Mabel's. Just before noon the door opened and Tara came back in with a small bag in her hand. "Well...?" I left the balance of the sentence unsaid. "I told them everything, absolutely everything. They hugged and kissed me and... and... Oh I'm talked out." She sat down at the kitchen table and again had one of those 'thousand mile' stares in her eyes. Finally she seemed to wake up and looked at me again. "Would you like some lunch here or did you want to go to Mickey D's" I asked. "Can we have lunch here?" she asked. I nodded yes. "Oh I forgot," she said then blushed, "look what the grandmas bought me. They said every woman needed one." and with that she pulled out a box, opened it and displayed a small vibrator. "They even showed me how to use it." and with that her face got really red with embarrassment. I smiled and got down beside her and wrapped my arm around her. "Tara, the grandmas were right, every woman needs one. I hope you use it and enjoy it. Your mom had one and I know she enjoyed it. Unless you want to explain things to your sister, you'd better find a good hiding place for your new 'toy'." Tara looked at me and smiled. We spent the balance of the day cuddling and just talking about last night. Tara really liked that I treated her like an adult date and couldn't get over the restaurant. (Note to self. Call the restaurant and thank them.) Pretty soon it was time for Ashley to come home. When Ashley came in the door she dropped her books and coat, grabbed Tara's hand and said "Let's go upstairs. I want to hear about everything." and off the two girls went. I went and finished the supper then called the girls. They came rushing down and out of breath from all the talking. We had a nice supper and as we were about to get up Tara looked at me and said "Dad," <Dad, that's new!> "you're going to sleep by yourself tonight. Ashley and I are going to have a 'sleepover' in my room." "Okay" I said and off the two of them went at off to Tara's room at a run.
