The funeral was kind of depressing. We, my daughters and I, were burying my wife, their mom. My daughters, 20 year old Marie and 18 year old Anne, were crying. Anne was crying for her mom and Marie was crying for Anne. I hurt for them. They loved their mother, but didn't like her most of the time. My wife and I loved each other, but we had drifted apart years ago. We had been married for just over twenty years, but had spent very little time together over the last ten years.

I knew she was having an affair with her boss, a female, but I chose to ignore it. Both my girls thought I should have put her out and divorced her.

Anne had moved out after she graduated high school to attend college and work in another state. She had been hired on in a doctor's office and was studying nursing. She would be nineteen next week.

Marie still lived at home with me. She was a genius and a self taught computer whiz. Unfortunately, she also had zero ambition to actually work. She and two of her internet friends wrote computer graphics and games for a hobby and some income. Marie's friend, Gabriel or Gabby for short, lived across the street from us and had accompanied us to the funeral. I assumed it was for Marie that she came. She was fourteen and Marie was her high school tutor.

Gabriel Turner was tall and skinny with long brown hair and eyes. She was pretty and cute, almost beautiful. She had nice little tits, around 28B, and a nice, round ass, the beginning of a nice figure. The most special thing about her was her incredibly happy attitude, despite the hard home life she endured. Her parents drank and argued daily. She spent a lot of her free time with Marie.

After the funeral, my late wife's boss came over to me. I was actually surprised to see her there.

"Dennis, I'm sorry for your loss."

"Thank you. I'm sorry for yours too."

"Thanks. She was my best employee."

"That's not what I meant."

"Huh? You know about us, the affair?"

"Yes. I've known for over four years."

"And you never said anything to her? Did you even care about it?"

"There was no point in saying anything. She was happy."

"She never wanted to hurt you. Nor did I."

"I appreciate that. I was at first, but I got over it years ago."

She excused herself and left. A minute later, Gabriel came up and put her arms around me in a hug. I hugged her back, absently rubbing her back.

"Mister Dennis, I'm really sorry about your wife."

"Thank you, Gabriel. I appreciate that. Thank you for coming, and for being Marie's friend. You are always welcome in my home."

"Thank you. I like being there, but I don't know if Marie might need her space right now."

"I don't know, either. But you can still come over. If you need homework help, I can help you if Marie isn't up for company. I know how hard it is for you at home. I'm always available if you need anything, even if it's just to talk or whatever."

"Thank you, mister Dennis. Thank you for caring. It's nice to know that someone does."

She hugged me again, tighter. I held her close, sensing that she needed it. She let go when she saw Anne and Marie walking up. Anne looked annoyed.

"Did I see mom's boss here?"

"Yes, she came."

"That was her you were talking to? The nerve of that bit...woman!"

"It's ok, Anne. Let it go. I have."

I changed the subject.

"You three ladies want to go out to lunch somewhere?"

"Yes!" was said in unison.

"Where to? Y'all decide."

They decided on IHOP. We went to the car and I drove us there. We went in and picked a round booth to sit in. Marie got in first then Anne and Gabriel got in on each side of her. That left me to sit beside Gabriel. We all ordered breakfast stuff.

"Anne, when do you have to be back to school?"

"I have classes all this coming week, then finals next week. I also have to work Monday afternoon. I'll be headed back tomorrow early afternoon."

"Ok. I understand. How are things going this semester?"

"I have all A's except one B. I need to do good on all my finals so I can have all A's. I want to get invited to join the National Honor Society like you did. With two straight semesters of all A's, I should get the invite in the fall."

"I'm really proud of you, baby girl. You'll do fine."

"What are you going to be doing the rest of today?"

"I'm going to put on comfy clothes when we get home and start going through paper work and stuff to find the insurance information so I can get that started."

"Mom had burial insurance, right?"

"Yes, but she also had taken out life insurance policies. I have to find them so I can see what I need to do with them. A courier from the funeral home is bringing over copies of the death certificate for me to use to process the insurance papers and to close out her credit cards and bank accounts. He should be at the house later this afternoon."

"You want some help?"

"No, this is something I have to do paper by paper. Thanks for offering. You three enjoy some time together. We don't get that opportunity very often anymore."

Gabriel looked at me like she appreciated being included in the family. I smiled at her. The food was served, and Gabriel scooted over closer to me to give Marie some

elbow room to eat. Her knee wound up against mine.

"You three girls look quite beautiful all dressed up and made up."

"Thanks, dad."

"Thank you, daddy."

"Thank you, mister Dennis."

Gabriel rubbed her knee against me several times while we ate. I didn't know if it was an accident or on purpose. We finished eating and headed home. Anne rode in the front seat with me. Every time I glanced in the rear view mirror, I caught Gabriel looking at me. She would quickly avert her eyes each time. I wondered what was going on in her head.

When we got home, the girls all went to change out of the funeral clothes and into shorts and t-shirts. Gabriel had to borrow some from Marie. Despite their age difference, they wore the same size.

I put on jogging shorts and a t-shirt. Then I got busy with digging through stuff to find all my wife's papers and throw away all the junk she always kept. I never understood why she felt she had to keep bill statements and bank statements and stuff like that for several years. Anne came in.

"Dad, what are you planning on doing with mom's clothes and jewelry and stuff like that?"

"I planned on donating it to Goodwill or something like that. Did you or Marie want any of her things besides the pictures?"

"I do. Marie can't wear her clothes and she doesn't wear jewelry, but I'll ask her to see if there's anything she wants."

"Good idea. Why don't you take the clothes you want to your room and take the jewelry and share with Marie. If there is any jewelry you two don't want, see if Gabriel might want it. Anything else, put in a donate box and I'll add her clothes you don't take to it."

"Ok. Thanks, dad."

She wound up taking all the clothes and the jewelry boxes to her room to go through. When she was done with the clothes, she boxed up what she didn't want. Then I heard her call Marie and Gabriel in to her room to go through jewelry.

I kept on working on sorting through stuff. Once it was all sorted, I took a coffee break. When I started again, I started with credit card statements. I was looking for the most recent of the bills and tossing the rest in the trash. Once I had gone through thirty statements, I had the three I actually needed. Then I started with theinsurance statements and information. I found five different policy numbers. One was the burial policy which was already handled. I could toss those. The other four policies were paid in full I found out. Now I had to find the actual policy for each number.

I heard a squeal of delight from down the hall followed by running feet. I looked up from where I was sitting cross-legged on the floor. Gabriel stood at my door smiling from ear to ear.

"Mister Dennis!"

"What is it, sweetheart?"

"Can I come in?"

"Sure."

She hurried over and leaned down and hugged my neck. Then she kissed me on the cheek. I looked at her and my eyes were drawn to her two beautiful little tits that I could see since her shirt had fallen open. They were 28B, exactly as I had thought. I was mesmerized by them.

"Anne said you said I could have these."

I looked up at her face and saw she was wearing a pair of ruby and topaz earrings that I had given to my wife as a present.

"Yes, I did. They look beautiful on you."

"They are beautiful! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. I'm happy to give them to you. There is a necklace that goes with them you can have, also. It should be in there somewhere."

"I can have that, too?"

"Yes. Go get it and bring it here. I want to put it on you."

She was off like a shot. A minute later, she was back with it and handed it to me.

"Lean down and I'll put it around your neck."

She got on her knees and leaned over while I untangled it and opened the clasp. I scooted forward to reach around her neck, but my shorts didn't. That caused my balls to peek out my shorts. I made no move to cover them up. I didn't want to draw attention to them. When I looked up, I realized she was looking right at them. I also saw her tits because her shirt had fallen open more than before. I could see down to her navel. Such a beautiful sight. Her nipples were hard and I really wanted to touch them. My dick started to get hard.

I latched the necklace behind her neck finally. It was hard since I was focused on her tits. When I took my hands away, she looked down at the necklace hanging there. She also saw how her top was hanging down and looked at me. She saw me looking at her tits. I looked up at her face and smiled at her. She sat back slowly, looking at me with a little smile on her face.

"Gabriel, that looks great on you."

"It's so beautiful. They all are. How can I ever thank you."

"You don't have to. I'm happy to see them on you. I can tell how much you like them and will wear them. That's thanks enough."

"You're so nice to me! I want to at least give you a hug and kiss."

"That would certainly be ok."

She leaned over and wrapped her arms around my neck. I started to turn my head for the kiss on the cheek, but she gave me a kiss on the lips instead. I put my hands around her and hugged her back. She sat back with a smile on her face.

"Please be careful with those."

"I will. I won't let anything happen to them. They're really special since you gave them to me. No one ever gave me jewelry before. What kind of stones are these?"

"The red ones are ruby and the white ones are topaz."

"Real ruby!?"

"Yes. That's over seven hundred dollars worth of jewelry you're wearing."

Her eyes got big.

"Really? And you just gave them to me?"

"You're worth it. You're special to me."

"I've never been special to anyone before."

"You are to me."

"Did you know that ruby is my birth stone?"

"No, I didn't. It's mine too."

"Wow! Cool!"

I smiled at her. She was genuinely happy. I got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Stand up and let me look at you."

She did. She pulled her hair back behind her ears.

"You are so beautiful. Those look perfect on you."

She blushed, but smiled.

"Too bad I didn't give them to you earlier so you could have worn them with your black dress. That would have been stunning."

"Mister Dennis, could I give you another kiss?"

"Yes. Any time you want to, you can. I'm honored."

She stepped over to me and I put my hands on her waist and sat her in my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned in to kiss me on the lips. I put my arm around her waist and kissed her back while holding her. She sat back and looked at me with a look on her face I couldn't fathom. She almost whispered.

"That was nice. You're the first person I've ever kissed like that."

"Yes, it was nice. And I'm honored you wanted me to be your first. Thank you."

She got up and went back to Marie's room. I sat there and thought about it. I decided I should have never let that happen. I hoped I hadn't scared her.

I went back to work on the insurance stuff. Eventually, I found all the policies. There was a $10,000.00 policy for each of the girls and a $50,000.00 policy for me. The last one was news to me. It was a $100,000.00 accidental death policy for me. Since she died in a traffic accident, I would collect.

I went to the computer and found the insurance's web-site. It listed all the forms I would need to fill out and mail to them. I printed them all out. While they printed, I started rubbing my dick while I pictured Gabriel's tits in my mind. I got so caught up in the mental vision that I didn't hear the knock on the door or Gabriel come in to my room.

"Mister Dennis?"

I pulled my hand out of my shorts and turned around in the chair. Gabriel was standing in the doorway, starring at the tent in my shorts.

"The....um.....uh....the...uh...courier left this for you."

"Would you lay it on the bed, please?"

"Ok."

She came in and put it on the edge of the bed with an embarrassed look.

"Thank you, Gabriel. And...uh....I'm sorry about that."

"About what?"

"What you saw. You weren't supposed to."

"It's ok. I understand that you're lonely now. It's fine."

She turned and left. I reached for the envelope and opened it up. It contained a dozen copies of the death certificate and a check for over three thousand dollars. That was the left over balance from the burial policy. I took the printouts and the copies and put them together in a big envelope to get ready to send to the insurance company Monday morning. I picked up the trash and took it to the trash can in the kitchen. I put the credit card bills and her bank information in a stack with my bills.

Then I took a shower and jacked off thinking of Gabriel's tits and her kiss. I blew my cum all over the shower wall.

When I got out and dressed, I went to the kitchen to fix dinner. I made grilled cheese sandwiches and sausage. I called the girls to come eat. Gabriel had already gone home. After we ate, I cleaned the kitchen then went to watch a little tv. Marie came in the den.

"Daddy, Gabriel is on the phone, crying."

"Why? What happened?"

"Her parents saw the jewelry and took it from her. They said she stole it and has to return it tomorrow and she can never come back over here."

"Do what? Her parents are something else! Don't they even know their own child? Tell her I will talk to them in the morning and straighten it all out. Tell her not to worry. It'll be ok."

"Ok daddy. Thank you."

She went in to talk to Gabriel and give her my message. I turned the tv off and went to bed. I really felt sorry for Gabriel and mad as hell at her parents.

***********************

The next morning, after coffee, I gave Anne the insurance papers to fill out and sign. Then we got started packing her stuff. We loaded a few boxes with stuff and stacked them by the door in the hall. Then she started packing her suitcase. While I was waiting on her to finish, I sat drinking a cup of coffee. There was a knock on the door. I went to answer it. It was Gabriel and her mom.

"Hi, Mrs. Turner, Gabriel. Please, come in."

"No, thank you. We won't be staying. Gabriel has something to say to you."

"Oh, ok. What is it Gabriel?"

"My parents think I stole these from you. I'm supposed to give them back and apologize."

She held out her hand with the jewelry in it.

"No. Gabriel did not steal those. I gave them to her. They belonged to my late wife. She would want Gabriel to have them."

"See, mom. I told you he gave them to me!"

"They are just too expensive to just be given away."

"Yes, they were expensive, but, if I didn't give them to Gabriel, they would have been donated to Goodwill or something. Neither of my daughters wanted them. I have no reason to keep them, so I gave them to Gabriel. Simple as that."

"Well, ok then. Sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Butler. Let's go."

"Thank you, mister Dennis."

"You're welcome Gabriel. And you are welcome to come over when ever you want. Marie loves your company and enjoys tutoring you."

They left. I closed the door. I really wanted to slap that woman. What a bitch! I turned to go into the kitchen. Anne was standing in her doorway.

"You heard all that?"

"Yeah. Gabby's mom is a bitch! No wonder she stays here so much. I'm glad Marie is here for her."

"Me, too. I really wanted to slap that woman!"

"You should have."

She went back to packing. I got another cup of coffee. When she finished, we had a salad lunch. Afterwards, I loaded up her car. We said goodbyes and she headed back to college. Marie went back to her room. I went out back and started cutting the grass. I decided to do the front yard while I was at it. When I was done cutting the grass, I cleaned up the yard then went in to take a shower. I put on my standard shorts and t-shirt.

I went and knocked on Marie's door then opened it up. I was surprised to see Gabriel was there. I smiled at her and she smiled back as she looked at me.

"Marie, I have some insurance papers for you to fill out this afternoon. I need to mail all of them in the morning. Anne already did hers. It won't take you five minutes."

"Ok, daddy. I will later."

"Ok. I'm thinking about ordering pizza for dinner. Either of you two ladies care to join me?"

"Yeah, daddy. That sounds good."

"Yes, mister Dennis. Thank you for inviting me."

"You're very welcome, Gabriel. I know what kind of pizza Marie likes. How about you? What would you like?"

"Well, sausage and extra cheese is my favorite, but what ever you get is fine with me."

"Hmmm.....sausage and extra cheese is my favorite, too."

"Really? That's pretty cool, too."

"Yeah, Gabby. It's the only kind daddy ever gets."

"Ok, I'll let you know when they get here."

I went and called Dominoes and placed the order. I sat on the sofa to wait for them. My mind drifted back to Gabriel's tits. They were just the size I liked the most. Plus her small nipples. Before I knew it, my dick was hard as a rock. The door bell rang. It was the pizzas. I opened the door and saw the delivery person was a teenage girl. She looked at the tent in my shorts as I put my hand in the pocket for the money. She had a big smile on her face when I looked up. I gave her a nice tip. She thanked me and smiled and looked again. I smiled and winked at her. I decided to order pizza again when Marie wasn't home. Dirty old man!

I took the pizzas to the table and got napkins and drinks on the table. My hard-on was gone so I called the girls.

"Ok, ladies, pizza is served."

They came in to the kitchen and sat down, one on each side of me. I pushed Marie's pizza toward her and pulled our pizza between us. Gabriel scooted closer to be able to reach it easier. After a minute, I felt her bare knee rubbing on my leg.

"Marie, do you think we need a bigger, roomier table?"

"No, this one is fine."

Gabriel moved her leg away. I looked at her and smiled. She had a funny look on her face. I smiled at her again and winked. Then I reached under the table and pulled her leg back up against mine. I kept my hand on her knee for a bit, gently rubbing it.

"I was just kidding. I like the smaller table. I like the closeness of my family it brings."

Gabriel looked at me.

"Am I family?"

"If you want to be. I hope you do, because I consider you family."

She smiled and rubbed her knee against mine. Now I knew it was on purpose. I squeezed her knee a couple of times, until Marie got up to get more soda.

After the pizza, Marie took Gabriel to her room to work on algebra. I cleaned up the trash and went to watch tv. Wasn't anything on to hold my attention so I wound up dozing off. It was near dark when I woke up. I fixed me a cup of coffee and sat back down.

"Marie."

"What, daddy?"

"Did you fill out that form yet?"

"Yes. It's on your desk."

"Ok, thank you."

"What's it for?"

"Your mom's insurance. All three of us will be getting checks in the mail in a week or two."

"I get a check? How much?"

"You and Anne get ten thousand each."

"Really? Wow!"

"Yep. It's y'alls to spend however you want."

"Does Anne know?"

"Yeah, but not how much. It will surprise her. Is Gabriel still here?"

"No. She had to go home. Why?"

"Just wondering. It's getting late and tomorrow is a school day."

"Daddy, did you know that Gabby likes you?"

"Well, I assumed she does."

"No, I mean she really likes you, a lot. She keeps going on about how nice you are, how well you take care of us, how sweet you are, how cute you are, and how lucky I am to have you for my daddy."

"Well, that's nice of her. And you are lucky. I could be like her father, ya know."

"I know. I'm glad you aren't."

"Me, too."

"She also said thank you for the pizza."

"She is nice and I really feel for her with her set of parents."

"I do too. I wish there was something we could do."

"Yeah, me too. But we can't legally interfere with her parents. In three more years, she can move out on her own. Good night, Marie."

"Night, daddy."

I went to my room and got the insurance papers ready to drop in the box and crawled into bed.

I didn't see Gabriel much during the week. She and Marie would be busy with getting Gabriel ready for her finals next week when I got in from work. I'd smile and wink and say hello. That was it. I admired her determination to do well in school.

When I got home Friday afternoon, I decided to get all the donations ready to take Saturday morning. I changed out of my work clothes and put my shorts on. There was still four boxes of stuff in the closet to be gone through for trash or donations.

The first was easy. It was on the floor and it was all donations. The other three were on the top shelf. They were hard to get, even for me. I pulled a chair up to the closet and stood on it. I reached for the closest box, but the soft cushion threw my balance off and I almost fell.

"Could I get a little help, please?"

"Where are you, daddy?"

"In my closet."

Marie and Gabriel came in to see what I needed.

"Would one of you hold my legs steady and the other take the box over by the bed?"

Marie grabbed my legs. I reached in and pulled the box out, then leaned over to hand it to Gabriel. She took it and put it on the floor by the bed. I reached in for the next one. It was very heavy.

"This one is heavy."

"Ok."

She reached up to take the box. I lowered it into her arms. She wasn't ready for how heavy it was and she took it at an angle to her chest instead of straight with her hands on the front corners. When I tried to let go of it, the box tilted backwards and the corner started scraping down her chest, pulling her shirt down with it. My hand was still on the top edge of the box and it slid it right over her tit. Her eyes got really big and she looked at me. I could hear the fabric tearing before I could hold it up.

"Marie, Gabriel's shirt tore. Would you go get her one of yours, please."

She walked out and went to her room. I stepped down and helped Gabriel sit the box on the floor. When she stood up, the whole right side of her chest was bare. I starred at her tit. She looked at me looking at it and hesitated, then she pulled it back together, holding it closed.

"Gabriel, I'm really sorry about your shirt and what happened."

"Don't worry about it. It's ok. I know you saw my boobs before. For you, I don't mind since I think you like them."

"Gabriel, they are beautiful! But I owe you a shirt. We will go shopping and get you a new one. How did you know I liked them?"

"You don't have to. I have plenty. I knew because it's the third time I saw you looking at them."

Marie came back in with a shirt.

"You should go change. I'll get this last box."

"Ok. Thanks, Marie."

She went into my bathroom to change. I got the last box out and put it on the floor. Then I sat on the bed and bent over to start looking in the boxes when she came out. Actually, I was trying to hide my hard-on.

"Thank you, ladies. I appreciate everything."

I smiled at Gabriel. She smiled back and winked at me! Then they went back to studying. I tried to focus on the boxes, but, by the time I went through all three, I had no idea what was in them or what I was donating.

I went into the bathroom and jerked off. When I was done with 'stress relief', I moved the boxes to the den by the door with the rest of the donations. Then I went and got a cup of coffee and sat down on the sofa to drink it. A few minutes later, Gabriel came out and headed for the door.

"Gabriel."

"Yes, mister Dennis?"

"Why don't you come over in the morning and go with me to take these donations. Then, we'll go to the store and get you a shirt. I need to get you something else, too. But that will be between you, me, and Marie."

"No, you don't have to do that."

"Yes, I do. I need to. I really have a feeling that I need to."

"Well, ok. I'll be over. Thank you. Good night."

"Good night, sweetheart."

I finished my coffee then went to bed.

I was up early the next morning. I had some coffee and got cleaned up and dressed and loaded the car. I had no idea when Gabriel would come over. I got another cup of coffee and settled in to watch the news. About an hour and a half later, Gabriel knocked on the door. I let her in and wrote Marie a note telling her where we were going.

"You ready to ride?"

"Yes. You know you don't have to buy me a shirt. It's really nice of you. Thanks."

"Yes, I do. It's my responsibility to replace what got tore doing for me. And I do need to get you the other."

"What other?"

"It's a surprise. Where did that shirt come from?"

"Wal-Mart."

"Oh. Actually, I was thinking I'd take you to Old Navy. Is that ok with you?"

"Old Navy! That's my favorite store! How did you know?"

"I didn't. I just like their clothes."

"Me, too!"

We headed out the door. Gabriel took my arm as we walked to the car. I opened her door for her and she got in. I went around and got in.

"Wow! You still hold a door for a girl. I didn't think anyone did that any more."

"I still do, but only for special people."

She looked at me. I looked at her and winked. Her eyes sparkled when she smiled. I couldn't help but look at her legs. I'm not a leg man, but hers were very sexy to me and her shorts made them even sexier. She saw me looking and grinned. I drove us to the shopping center where the Old Navy store was first. I parked and we went in.

"Gabriel, you pick out what ever shirt you want."

"Ok, thank you."

She went looking at sale stuff first. I let her shop while I went looking for something else for her. After a few minutes, I found some sexy halter tops. I had no idea what size she wore or if she would even like them. While I was looking them over, she came up to me with two shirts. Both were v-necks.

"Mister Dennis, do you like either of these?"

I looked and liked them both.

"Both. Which do you like best?"

"The pink one is cheaper, but the white one is nicer. I like it. Do you?"

"Do you like it better than the pink one?"

"Yes, but it's more expensive."

"Get the white one. You're worth it."

"Really?"

"Yes. Now I have a question for you."

"What's that?"

"Do you like any of these?"

She looked at the halter tops and blushed.

"They are cool, but they look kind of revealing."

"So you don't like this style. Ok."

"No, I do, but I'd be embarrassed to wear it in public. Besides, my parents would never let me have or wear one."

"So, I shouldn't get you one, even if you just wore it at our house, huh?"

She looked at me with a look that I couldn't begin to guess what it meant. She didn't answer right away.

"I could wear it for you sometimes."

"I can see that you're not comfortable with the idea, so don't worry about it. It's ok."

"I've just never worn anything that revealing. But I think I'd like to try it. It's something new."

"Why don't you try one on, then decide."

"That's a good idea. Which one?"

"Pick the one you like the best."

She looked at them and found one in her size and color. We walked over to the dressing room. I waited for her to come out. After a couple of minutes, she called to me.

"Mister Dennis, what do you think of this? You can look, there's no one else in here but me."

I peeked my head through the curtain. Gabriel was standing in front of a changing booth. She looked stunning, but also embarrassed and not very happy.

"You look stunningly beautiful and sexy in that. What's the problem?"

"It's so revealing!"

"Turn around so I can see."

She slowly turned a circle. The back was totally bare except a small elastic band around her midriff and a strap around her neck. Were it not for that, she appeared to be topless.

"I see what you mean about revealing."

"It's worse than that. If I lift my arms or reach out, my boobs show. See what I mean?"

She turned to the side a bit and raised her arm. Sure enough, her little tit popped right into view. I liked it, but knew she didn't.

"I'm sorry, Gabriel. I didn't know. I shouldn't have suggested you get one of those."

"It's ok, mister Dennis. I know you like to look and I'll wear it for you if you want."

"No, sweety, we're not buying that. I never want you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable, not even for me. I would never do that to you."

"Are you sure you don't want me to? I will, for you."

"I'm sure. Go change back and we'll get the other shirt and get moving on."

"Thank you. It's nice to have someone who cares about how I feel."

I felt more than a twinge of guilt for this. She changed back into her shirt. When she came out, we went and paid for her shirt, then headed for the car. I opened her door for her to get in, then went around to get in. We drove to the Goodwill place and I unloaded the donations. Then we headed to Wal-Mart.

"Was that halter the surprise you were talking about? I'm sorry I spoiled it."

"No, it wasn't. That would have been an added bonus. I saw them while I was waiting for you. I tried to imagine what you would look like in one and I liked what I had imagined, so I offered to get it. I had no idea they were like that."

She looked at me with that look, again. We got to Wal-Mart and went in. I headed us back to where they made keys. I took my house key off the ring and got a duplicate made. I paid for it and we went back to the car. When we got to the car, I gave Gabriel the bag.

"Gabriel, this is for you."

"A key to your house? Why?"

"Because I want you to be able to get in anytime you might need to, day or night. I know how things are at your house, how hard it is for you there. If it gets so bad that you need to leave, now you can come over to our house whether any one is there or not. You will be safe there. You are family as far as I'm concerned. That means you are part of the 'our' in our house. Ok?"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Mister Dennis, could I have a hug?"

I held my arms open for her and she stepped up to me and wrapped her arms around me and held me tight. I hugged and held her till she was ready. She wiped the tears from her face. I opened the car door and she got in my side but only slid halfway over. I got in and she snuggled up next to me. I started the car and put my arm around her shoulder. We headed home.

"I can't imagine why anyone would care about me the way you do. No one ever has before."

"I am sorry for the hurt you have to live with. I want to make it go away for you, but I don't think I can. I can't interfere with your parents. But I can make a safe place available to you any time you need it or want it. A place where you are wanted and cared about."

"I don't know what to say. I feel truly happy for the first time in my life."

"Good. I want you to be happy and enjoy your life."

"Thank you, mister Dennis."

"You're family, you can drop the 'mister', and call me Dennis."

She looked up and kissed me on the cheek. I hugged her and kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you, Dennis."

"You are so very welcome, Gabriel."

"Call me Gabby. Every one else does."

"You are much to beautiful to be a 'Gabby'. Has to be Gabriel."

She kissed me again. I drove us home. The house was dark when we got there. Marie must still be asleep.

"The door is locked. Try your key to make sure it works."

She unlocked and opened the door.

"That's good. Gabriel, that key is to be just between you, me, and Marie. Please don't let your parents find out about it."

"They won't."

We went in. Gabriel went to the bathroom and I checked on Marie. She was sound asleep. I went to the kitchen and got a cup of coffee and sat at the table to drink it. Gabriel came out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. She was wearing her new shirt. When she came in and the light hit it, I realized it was pretty thin. It looked like I could see her tits through the fabric.

"Gabriel, you better hope that shirt doesn't get wet while you are wearing it."

"Why?"

"In this light, I can almost see through it. Look in the hall mirror."

She looked.

"Oh no! I didn't know it was like that. I guess I'll have to wear a bra if I

am going to wear this. I never wear bras. I don't like them."

"Me either. I hate trying to get them off."

"What???"

"Ooops, sorry. You weren't supposed to hear that."

My face turned bright red. She saw that and giggled.

"You know what, Dennis. If no one was here but us, I could have worn that halter top for you. I wouldn't be embarrassed then."

"It's nice to know that you are that comfortable with me. Thank you. But I actually felt guilty for wanting you wear it. That was wrong of me."

"I don't want you to feel guilty about anything. I like that you look, that you want to look. They are so small. I didn't think any one would want to look or like it

so much. That makes me feel good inside that you do."

"That's just it. I shouldn't want to. I'm way too old for you, or for me to be thinking like I do."

"I don't think you are too old. I think I'm too young for a mature man to be interested in me."

"Thank you for that. And no, you aren't too young. The law says you are, but I know different. You are very mature."

She looked at me like she was trying to make her mind up about something.

"What's troubling you, Gabriel?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just that......uummm....well...I can't talk about it now."

"You know you can talk to me about anything, any time you need to. I'm always here for you if you want or need me."

"Thank you, Dennis. You are just so wonderful to me. And I'm here for you if you ever need me. I need to go home. I have chores I have to do before my dad gets up. I'll be in big trouble if they aren't done. Maybe one day I can talk to you about things."

"I'm sorry. I should have checked with you before I told you when I wanted to do our stuff this morning. We could have done it anytime today."

"No, it's alright. I have time. Dad sleeps late on Saturday cause he drinks a lot on Friday nights."

"Ok. Come back over when you can."

"I will."

She kissed my cheek, then left. We didn't see her the rest of the day. I hoped she wasn't in trouble again. I had never met her dad, but something just didn't seem right. I couldn't put my finger on it. I could see that she was afraid of her dad. I just didn't know why. Was he too strict, mean, abusive? I hoped Gabriel would talk about it one day. I truly wanted to help. I moped about the rest of the day, not accomplishing anything.

Marie saw me and asked what was wrong. She thought I was missing her mom. I'm not sorry to say that I didn't. She had been gone out of my life long before she died. Later on, she asked again.

"Daddy, what's bothering you. I've never seen you like this before."

"I don't think it's anything you can help with, honey."

"Do you miss mom that much?"

"No, it's not your mom. It's Gabriel."

"What about her?"

"I'm worried about her. Something just doesn't seem right with her family."

"It's not. There's a lot she has to deal with over there."

"I meant to tell you I bought Gabriel a key to our house in case she ever needs to get away from hers for any reason. If you ever get up and she's here, that's how and why."

"Thank you for that, daddy. Gabriel needs people that care and will help. I'm sure it meant a lot to her."

"It did, but I still don't know why. I can't do anything to help if I don't know what she needs help with."

"She probably won't tell you. She doesn't want you to think bad of her."

"Think bad of her? Why would I do that? I'm pretty sure she isn't an axe murderer or leader of a drug cartel."

"No, she isn't."

"You know something, don't you?"

"Yes, but she made me promise to never say anything to any one."

"Ok, I respect your promise. But tell her what I said. I really am worried about her."

"I'll tell her."

"Thanks, Marie. I'm trying to perk up."

"It's ok, daddy. I understand how you feel. By the way, we have been asked to do a series of computer games based on one we already did. The company will pay us

$5000.00 for each game."

"That's great, honey. I'm really proud of you. When will you start working?"

"Probably next Monday after school is out for the summer."

"That's good timing. Doesn't Gabriel have final exams this coming week?"

"Yeah. I'm sure she will want to study together, but she doesn't need it. She knows her stuff. She wants straight A's to make us proud of her."

"She might just be using the exams as an excuse to get out of her house. Why would she be worried about us being proud of her?"

"It's important to her that we are. Don't really know why. And you're probably right about the studying being an excuse."

"Well, tell her I'm proud of her regardless of her report card."

"I will. That will make her happy."

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Yeah, I ate."

"Ok. I'm going to do a sandwich, then probably go to bed."

"Ok, daddy. Good night."

"Night, Marie."

I had a sandwich then got undressed and went to bed.

I woke up the next morning still feeling down. I couldn't seem to shake it. I wondered if Gabriel would come by today. I sat drinking coffee and half watching the morning news. I had no idea what they were talking about. It was pushing noon and I was getting hungry. Marie was still asleep. I decided to order some dominoes again. Who knows, I might get lucky. I dialed them up and ordered my pizza, then sat to wait on it. I hoped I would get the same delivery girl as last time. I started to fantasize about her and her little tits. I could almost taste them. There was a knock at the door. My dick was standing straight up, very obvious in these gym shorts. I opened the door. It wasn't the pizza. It was Gabriel. She came right in and hugged me, my dick mashed between us. I knew she could feel it even if she didn't see it. Her shorts were tight enough to show her cameltoe, but her shirt was a regular t-shirt.

"Hi, Dennis. I missed you....and Marie."

"Hi, Gabriel. I missed you, too."

"Did I interrupt something?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Uuuhhh....mmmm, just checking."

"All I was doing was waiting for pizza. You hungry?"

"Sausage and extra cheese? You bet. Thank you. Did you know I was coming over this morning?"

"No, but I was hoping."

"Really?"

"Yes. I miss you when you aren't here."

"Thank you. That's really nice to hear. Want me to set the table?"

"You can, but all we need is a napkin for you and me. Marie's still asleep."

"Ok."

She went to the kitchen and put napkins out. There was another knock at the door. This time, it was the pizza, but not my delivery girl. I paid and tipped the guy, then went into the kitchen. Gabriel had napkins set out and her and my chairs pulled close together. We sat down together and I put the pizza between us where she could reach it. She soon had her knee on my leg. I put my hand on it and squeezed a little, then rubbed her leg a little. She seemed genuinely happy and her eyes were sparkling. We ate the pizza and talked about her classes.

I heard Marie's door open so I put my hand back in my lap.

"I thought I smelled pizza. Glad you didn't order me one. It's too early."

"I didn't know how late you would sleep."

"Hi, Gabby. Are things better now?"

I saw her face cloud.

"No, but I'm here now so it's ok."

"Daddy was worried about you yesterday."

"Why would you worry about me?"

"Because I know it's bad for you at your house. There is more going on that I don't know about. I want to help, but I don't know how."

"Did Marie tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"What she promised she wouldn't!"

"Marie hasn't said anything to me. All I know is what I see in your eyes when I look at you. Gabriel, I care for you, care about you, a lot. More than I should. Probably more than you want me to."

"Thank you, Dennis. I know you care. I just don't want to talk about it. It will all go away in about five weeks. I don't want to risk things changing."

"I don't mean to pry or go where I'm not wanted. I'm backing off. You know where to find me if you change your mind. What happens in five weeks?"

"I'll be fifteen."

"I'm confused, but that's ok I guess. I'll always be available. Help yourself to the rest of the pizza. I have things to do."

I got up and went to my room, closing the door behind me. I busied myself with getting my late wife's credit cards paid off and the accounts closed. I would get a direct deposit to my account from her bank for the balances of her checking and savings accounts when the bank closed them. I went ahead and used the on-line app to see if that had occurred yet. It was! I noted the over six thousand dollar deposit in my checkbook.

Now that all that was done, I had nothing else to distract me. My mind immediately went back to Gabriel. I realized I was getting way to attached to her. I truly did care about her, but it was more than that. How had things gotten so far out of hand with me? Was I just trying to take advantage of her vulnerability? I didn't think so. Was it a mutual attraction? Irregardless, I needed to fix the situation. The last thing I ever wanted was for Gabriel to be hurt by me, too.

My thoughts were mercifully interrupted when I heard footsteps approaching my door. Then I heard Marie tell Gabriel not to bother me right now. She told her that, when I did what I'm doing, it's because I'm hurt by something. Gabriel told Marie that she had to talk to me. She knocked.

"Come in."

The door opened and Gabriel walked in.

"Dennis, I'm sorry I upset you so much. I didn't mean to."

She was close to tears.

"No, Gabriel. It was all my fault. I was prying into your life where I had no business. You don't owe me any explanations. I let my feelings get the better of me. I an sorry I hurt you. That's the last thing I ever wanted to do."

"I know you care about me. I guess I didn't know how much. Thank you for caring and for understanding."

"I do care. A lot. Maybe too much. And I understand that you don't want to talk about what ever it is. I accept that and I won't pry. What I don't understand is what makes your demeanor change so much when it's time for you to go? The happiness in your eyes changes to sadness and fear so fast. That's why I worry about you so much."

"I'm sorry, Dennis. I didn't realize it was so obvious. That's why I'm so anxious for my birthday to get here. I really don't know why my fifteenth is so important to my parents, but it is."

"I don't get it. Is there some family tradition or ceremony or something that accompanies the fifteenth birthday in your family?"

"I don't know of any. But I never see any of my female cousins after their fifteenth birthday. I do talk on the phone once in a while with one of them."

"That's just weird. I hope you're right, but I'm wondering now."

"Dennis, can I still come over here?"

"Of course you can. Nothing has changed. You're still family for as long as you want to be. Besides, you have a key, remember?"

"Thank you. Could I have a hug?"

I opened my arms and she ran to me and sat in my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I hugged her back and held her. She laid her head on my shoulder and held on to me. I felt a tear drop, so I kissed her head.

"It will be alright. I'm here for you anytime, day or night."

"Thank you. Sometimes I just need to feel safe and cared about."

She looked up at me, her eyes begging me to kiss her.

"May I kiss you, Gabriel?"

"Please do."

I put my lips on hers. After a few seconds, I felt her tongue on my lips. I opened my mouth and licked her tongue. It was such an awesome feeling. We kissed deeply for a minute.

"Dennis, that was nice! I was so scared you wouldn't want to kiss me like that."

"It was better than nice. It was awesome! Where did you learn to kiss like that?

"I didn't learn it. You're the only man I've ever kissed. It just seemed like the right thing to do."

"Gabriel, I am so honored."

She smiled, then the happiness faded from her eyes.

"I guess you have to go, huh?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Be safe, honey. I know you'll do good on your exams."

"I think I'm ready for them. Bye."

"Goodnight, sweetheart."

She looked deeply into my eyes, smiled briefly, then got up and left. I sat there wondering what just happened. I went to the bathroom and jacked off, then went to bed.

The next three days, I went to work and came home. I only saw Gabriel in passing. She was really intent on her test studies. Thursday evening started out the same way. I was in my room working on a project from work. I was designing and building a large Excel spreadsheet. Gabriel knocked on my door.

"Come in, sweety."

"Sorry to interrupt you. I know you're busy."

"Gabriel, I'll never be too busy for you. What can I do for you?"

"I wanted to say goodbye to you."

"Goodbye? Like you're leaving or something?"

"Yeah. My parents are going to grandma's house for ten days. I have to go with them. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon and we won't be back until a week from Sunday."

"Summer vacation?"

"Yeah. Mom thinks this will be the last time she sees her mom again. Grandma is old and sick."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I'm going to miss you."

"I'll miss you, too.....and Marie."

She blushed.

"Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation. I'll be looking forward to seeing you when you get back. Might even order another pizza for us."

"I'd love that. I can't wait to be back."

"Do I get a hug?"

"Of course. I was hoping I could get another kiss if you want to."

"Come here, you."

She came to me and sat in my lap. We wrapped our arms around each other. Then our lips met. I held her tight and our tongues started a wild dance in our mouths. I fought the urge to rub her tits. I knew she could feel my dick getting hard under her. She sat back with a dreamy look on her face. I kissed her nose and she started giggling.

"That's what I like to see. My Gabriel happy."

"I am."

"I hope I can get another kiss when you get back."

"Dennis, you can. In fact, you can get one anytime you want one."

"Oh, Gabriel! I'm going to miss you so much."

"Not as much as I'll miss you."

"Really?"

She blushed when she realized what she said.

"Are you embarrassed about something?"

"Yes. Sometimes I say things I shouldn't."

"I didn't hear anything to be embarrassed about. I heard honesty."

She looked at me intently, like she was trying to figure something out, like she was conflicted.

"I have to go and pack. They want to leave as soon as I get back from school."

"Ok,sweetheart. See you when you get back. Do you have my phone number in case you need me?"

"Yes. I got it from Marie's phone. I hope you don't mind."

"Not even. I wanted you to have it."

"Thank you."

We hugged again, then she got up to leave. I held her hand and pulled her back to me. I kissed her again, then let her go. I needed time to sort through things. I felt like it was getting out of hand and serious. Part of me wanted that and part said back off.

The next few days were a blur. The longer Gabriel was gone, the more I missed her. The more I missed her, the guiltier I felt for ever letting things get to this point. I didn't know what was in her heart or head. I expected she needed to feel emotionally and physically secure and cared about. I didn't think she wanted a serious relationship with a guy my age. It had become hard for me to separate what I wanted from what I thought she wanted and needed. My mood had become very sour to the point that Marie avoided me. The only bright spot in the mix was getting the insurance checks. Marie and Anne were both thrilled to get that kind of money.

Wednesday evening I decided to order pizza for dinner. I had no desire to cook anything.

"Marie, do you want some pizza?"

"No, thanks daddy. I'm really busy and don't want to stop."

"Ok."

I was used to her single-minded focus when she was working on a project. I may not see her for days. I called and placed my order. Right after I called the order in, I received a text from Gabriel.

'I miss you. Wish I was there.'

'I miss you too and wish you were here also. I just ordered pizza.'

'No fair!'

'Practise for Sunday.'

'See what you're missing!'

She sent me a picture of her bent over at the waist with a low cut top on. I could clearly see her beautiful little tits and hard nipples. I got an instant hard-on.

'No fair!'

I threw caution to the wind.

'You're making things hard on me!'

She sent a dozen 'smiley faces'.

'Are you having any fun?'

'No.'

'I'm sorry. I'm here if you need me.'

I kept looking at her picture. I just didn't know what to do with how I felt. A few minutes later, the pizza arrived. It was the teenage girl delivering it. She saw the tent in my pants, again. I smiled at her when she saw it and winked at her. I reached for my wallet.

"Ooops. Hold on, my wallet is in the other room. You want to come in?"

"Sure."

She stepped inside and closed the door. I went to the bedroom and got her money. When I came back in, I saw she had put the pizza on the table and was sitting in the chair. Her Dominoes shirt was unzipped and her shirt unbuttoned at the top. I walked over to her and she leaned forward. I could see her 32B tits. She wore no bra! I openly looked.

"See something you like? I remember that you looked last time I was here. I thought you might want to see what you missed then."

"Yes, I definitely do! I like very much what I see!"

"I do too."

She reached out and grabbed my dick.

"Just how I like it, nice and hard!"

She stood up and took her top off and finished unbuttoning her shirt and pulled it open. I put my hands on her tits and squeezed them and rubbed them. I took her nipples between my fingers and rubbed and pinched them.

"Mmmmmmmmmm....I love that!"

"They are quite firm and beautiful! Just the size I prefer!"

She pushed my shorts down to my knees and started stroking my dick. I leaned down and sucked her tit in to my mouth, kissing and licking it. I bit down on her nipple and started flicking my tongue over the tip.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm......oooooohhhhhhh yeah......aaaahhhhhh!"

After a minute, I let go of her tit. She sat down in the chair and took my dick in her mouth. She licked the underside and around my crown while stroking the bottom of my shaft. I reached down and started pinching her hard nipples. She moaned as she sucked me. She cupped my balls with her other hand and fondled them. It wasn't long before my balls tightened and I was ready to cum.

"I'm about to cum, baby."

"Mmmmmmmmmm!"

She started sucking and licking faster. I shot the first spurt to the back of her throat. She blocked the rest of my shots with her tongue, taking all my cum in her mouth. When I was empty, she swallowed, then licked my dick clean.

"Mmmmmmmm. I love the taste of cum."

"Your boyfriend is a lucky guy."

"He is. I do him every day. I won't let him fuck me until we are married. I'm remaining a virgin until my wedding night."

"That's so cool! Y'all getting married any time soon?"

"September. I hope I can wait that long. It's getting harder to say no."

"Congratulations. Three more months. I hope you can hang on."

"Thank you. Me, too. I really want to feel his cock in me."

"And thanks for this. It helped me more than you could know. And I really do love your tits. They are perfect! I could play with them forever."

She smiled and started getting dressed. I pulled my shorts up.

"I guess I better get back to work. Enjoy your pizza."

"I will, definitely."

She left. I felt much better. I ate half the pizza.

I had just laid down on the bed when the phone rang. I didn't recognize the number.

"Hello."

"Dennis, it's me, Gabriel."

"What's wrong Gabriel?"

"It's my dad! He's scarring me. I don't know what's wrong with him."

"What's he doing?"

"He keeps looking down my shirt. The look on his face scares me. He makes me wear shirts like the one I had on in the picture I sent you. When I first realized what he was doing, I put my hand up on the shirt to hold it closed, but he made me put my hand down. He even asked me if I was still a virgin!"

"Did you say anything to your mom?"

"Yes. She, but she told me I had to do what I was told. That he is my father and he can do as he pleases. I am to just obey and say nothing."

"I really don't understand your parents. Not at all."

"I don't know what to do. I'm totally alone here."

"My first thought is for you to tell him no, that you're not wearing those kind of shirts for him any more. Either that, or start wearing a bra."

"Yeah, I could do that. I'll try anyway."

"I wish I could come and get you and bring you back here, take you away from all that."

"I wish you could, too. I don't want to be here anymore."

"Has he put his hand on you?"

"No. He wanted me to sit in his lap but I wouldn't do it. He got really mad."

"You did the right thing."

"He gave me a night gown that I'm supposed to wear every night. It's so thin that you can see right through it, and he said I can't wear panties with it. I won't ever put it on for him! I refuse to!"

"I understand now why you are scared of him."

"At least mom's brother and his wife will be here tomorrow. They are real nice and they don't like dad. I hope he will leave me alone when they get here. He doesn't act like this when any one else is around."

"Does your bedroom door have a lock on it?"

"Yes. I keep it locked when I'm in here."

"Good girl."

"Dennis, I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too, Gabriel. I can't wait for Sunday. Maybe I'll get an extra-large pizza for us."

"That sounds good, but what I really need is just for you to hold me. That's the only time I ever feel safe and really cared about."

"Anything you need is yours for the asking. I'm happy to do for you."

"Dennis, I've been doing a lot of thinking since I've been here. I made some decisions about things."

"May I ask what you have been deciding on? I've been thinking on things, too. Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. I don't want to pry."

"No, it's ok. But I'll tell you Sunday, in person."

"Ok. I hope it will be something good for you."

"I do to. But I'm a little scared that I might be making the wrong decisions. There are some things I don't know for sure, things I'm hoping for."

"I'll help however you need me to, if you need me to. I only want what is best for you, what ever that is."

"I know that and I really appreciate it. I know I can trust you."

"To change the subject, do you have any idea how good it is to hear your voice. I really needed that after the past few days."

"No, but I'm glad I was able to do something for you for a change."

"You mean besides the picture?"

"You like it that much?"

"I do. I was going to print it out but I couldn't make it life-sized."

She giggled.

"Why does that not surprise me? Guess I better be careful what I send from now on. Dennis, why is it that I like when you see me like that, but it terrifies me when my dad does? That picture was the same as how dad made me stand in front of him."

"I don't know, but it could be that you trust me. That you know I'll never knowingly do anything to hurt you."

"That makes sense."

"So you don't have to be careful what you send on my account. It doesn't matter since pictures will be unnecessary when you get back here. I'd rather have the real thing."

"We'll see. I guess I better get off this thing. I'm tired and I know you have to get up for work in the morning."

"Gabriel, thank you for calling me. Thanks for letting me help some."

"You're welcome, Dennis. Thank you for being there for me when I needed you."

"Always, sweety."

"Good night, Dennis."

"Night, Gabriel."

I felt so much better. I went to sleep and slept like I didn't have a care in the world. I woke up to find that Gabriel had sent me another picture. It was a side view of her in that night gown from the waist up. She was right! I could see right through it! I sent her a text.

'Thank you for that picture. You are so beautiful! You are right. I can see right through it. Thank you for sharing that with me, and not wearing it for him. He doesn't deserve to have a daughter like you!'

I got a reply text from Gabriel while I was at work.

'You weren't supposed to like it!' I just wanted you to see what I was talking about.'

'I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but like it. It's a picture of you.'

'Oh, ok. In that case, you can like it. And thank you for what you said.'

'It's from the heart.'

'That means so much to me.'

I was busy at work so Thursday and Friday flew by. Saturday I spent cleaning house. Then, I sat and tried to figure out what else I could do to pass time. I was anxious for Gabriel to be here. Her decision to tell me what ever it was she had decided on had me very anxious. I got a text from her late afternoon.

'Just wanted to tell you that dad hasn't bothered me since my uncle has been here. But the looks he gives me really scare me.'

'At least he is leaving you alone. Am so anxious for tomorrow.'

'Me too.'

Later that evening, I got another.

'Found out part of dad's problem. He's furious at mom.'

'Better her than you.'

'I know. She was supposed to do something related to my birthday, but she didn't. I heard them arguing about it. He told her she had to do it, whatever it is. She told him she wanted no part of his family tradition. He could do what he wanted since he was going to anyway. She told him to leave her totally out of it and to totally leave her alone from then on. She wants no part of him.'

'That sounds creepy. Now I'm really worried about you. It sounds to me like there has to be something bad wrong planned for your birthday.'

'I think you're right. The last thing I heard was mom telling dad that he didn't want her filing for divorce because it would come out in court and he couldn't let that happen. He was to do what she said or else.'

'Gabriel, we have to find a way to get you out of there before your birthday rolls around.'

'I believe you. I don't want to be there with him any more. I'm scared. Mom doesn't talk to me any more. She just looks at me when we pass in the hall or something and shakes her head.'

'Just remember. You're not alone. I'm here for you any time, all the time.'

'I know and that's what keeps me from totally freaking out.'

'You have a safe place to stay for as long as you need, too.'

'Thank you. You don't know what that means to me. I want to say more, but face to face. C U soon.'

'Can't wait.'

As soon as I sent the last text, I realized I probably made a mistake. Gabriel has enough pressure on her without me acting like a silly teenager.

I went to bed for lack of anything else to do.

Sunday dawned rainy. Forecast was for rain and storms all day. Lovely. I made a pot of coffee and sat in the den drinking it. I had opened the curtains so I could see when they arrived back home. I kept my phone with me in case she texted. She didn't.

They pulled up in-between rain showers. Her mom got out and went right to the front door. Gabriel pulled her suitcase out of the back seat and went in. Her dad went and got their suitcase out of the trunk and went in. The rain started back up. I closed to curtains and went to my room. At least she was home. I tried to focus on other things to no avail. I alternated pacing and starring out the back window. The rain stopped again. It was getting darker outside. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the front door, then it burst open. Gabriel came running in the house.

"Marie!"

"In my room, Gabby."

"Look! Straight A's! We did it. Thank you so much."

I opened my door and stood there. Gabriel was waving her report card around. She saw me and ran and jumped in my arms.

"Look, Dennis! Straight A's! I got all A's!"

"I knew you could. I'm really happy for you. You certainly worked hard enough to get them. I'm really proud of you, too."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I sat her back on the floor as Marie came out of her room.

"Shall I order us our pizza now?"

"No, not yet. I still have to go back and finish my laundry. I just wanted to show y'all my report card."

"Ok. We can wait. That ok with you, Marie?"

"Yes, I'm not that hungry now anyway."

"Well, I'll see you later, soon as my clothes are done."

With that, she went back home. She didn't come back over. She texted me late.

'Dad won't let me go out. Says we have to talk.'

'Are you ok?'

'Yeah, for now I guess.'

'Be careful. I'm here if you need me.'

'Thanks.'

I locked up and laid on the bed. I put the phone volume on maximum in case she texted. A while later, I was still in bed but still not asleep. I had a bad feeling, but I didn't know what it was. All of a sudden, I heard the front door unlock, open and then close.

"Dennis!"

I got up.

"In here, Gabriel. What's wrong?"

"My dad!. He tried to rape me!"

"What??!!!"

Gabriel came running in my room and straight to my arms. I held her as she cried. She was soaking wet. After a minute, she calmed down.

"Can you tell me what happened? Wait, let's get you dried off first."

I let her go and went to get her a towel. She followed right behind me. When I turned, she was standing right there. She was wearing the shirt I bought her. Now that it was wet, I could see right through it. I handed her the towel.

"Here, wrap this around you."

"Thank you."

"Ok, what happened?"

"I went out to the car to get a bag I forgot. I got soaked in the rain. I went to the kitchen when I got in and started to dry my hair. Dad came up behind me and turned me around to face him. He starred at my boobs. Then he said that since mom wouldn't teach me what I had to know as first born daughter, he had to teach me. He said that it was my duty to become his second wife and have his children as soon as I turned fifteen. I had to learn obedience and how to please him. That was my only function in life. No more school. I told him no, I wouldn't do that. He said I had no choice. Our religious law required it. I said I didn't care about his religion, that it was his, not mine. He said I would learn whether I wanted to or not. He reached up and grabbed my boobs and felt them. I ran to my room and closed the door on him. I started to call you, but he broke the door and came in. He came to where I was in the corner and grabbed my.....um...my.....um...between my legs. He pulled his pajama bottom down to the floor. His thing was pointed straight at me. He told me to get on my knees. I said no again. He tried to push me down, but I pushed him away and ran over here. I'm so thankful that you insisted on me having a key."

"I'm going to call the police. That was attempted rape of a juvenile. He will go to prison for that."

"No, don't call them. At least not yet."

"Why?"

"If they arrest him, mom and I will have to move away. We have no money."

"You can't go back there! He'll just try it again."

"I know. But I don't want to move away from you."

"From me?"

"From either one of you. I told you I made some decisions and I wanted to talk face to face. Could we talk now?"

"Yes, we can talk. How about we get you some dry clothes first?"

"That would be nice. Thanks."

I went to Marie's room and knocked on the door. No answer. I opened the door a crack. She had her headphones on playing xBox. She saw me and asked what I wanted. I told her and she got a shirt and shorts for Gabriel. I took them to her and handed them over. Gabriel took the towel from around her and stood there watching me. I looked at her tits and smiled. She went to the bathroom and changed. She came out holding the shirt!

"Should I skip wearing the shirt?"

"Gabriel.....I...um.....I....ummm...I think you should put it on. If you want to talk and me not be totally distracted, you should."

"No, I don't want you distracted. I wanted to show them to you since you like them so much. It's not like you haven't seen them before."

"True, but not like that! They are so perfect! Thank you for that."

She giggled, but it was a nervous giggle. She put the shirt on.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"Things....but I'm nervous and a bit scared."

"Nothing to be scared about here, or nervous. You're family. No judgement allowed."

"Ok. I know you care for me and about me. You say it and I see it. I also see how you look at me, even when my boobs are covered. I think there is more to it than just caring. I think you have feelings for me. I know you like me, but there is more. I can feel it when you touch me, when you kiss me, when you hold me. How am I doing so far?"

"I am guilty as charged."

"Well, I also care about you. I've never intentionally let anyone see my boobs except you. I even did it on purpose so you could peek. I did that because I know it makes you happy. I rubbed my knee on your leg a couple of times to see if you liked that. I'm guessing you did since you rubbed my leg. I kissed you because I wanted you to kiss me and I knew you wouldn't do it so I had to kiss you first, even the French kiss. These are the things I was thinking about when I was gone. I had a clear head with no distractions so I believe I thought things through clearly. So, what I decided was A, I love you. That wasn't much of a decision since I already knew I did deep down; B, you actually love me even if you don't want to admit it. I don't believe that love cares about age. I know that I don't. I can only hope that you don't, other than the practical issues; C, I want to be with you. I don't want to be with any one else, only you; and D, I want you and I'm pretty sure you want me too. Your eyes tell me that's true."

"How did you ever get to be so smart?"

"You said you had been thinking. About what?"

"About you, and us."

"And?"

"Well, it's like this. A, I know I shouldn't, but I do love you. I've been trying to deny it, but I can't deny the truth; B, I honestly didn't know you felt the same way towards me. I thought I was reading stuff into it that wasn't really there. That scared me because I would never want to hurt you or scare you; C, I know I don't want to be with anyone else but you, but I don't want you to miss out on life because you're with me. You're in the best, most memorable years of your life. Growing, doing, experiencing, and sharing your life with your friends should be an important part of your life right now; and D, I do want you even though I know it's wrong."

"So, where does that leave us?"

"I don't know, but I have an idea."

"What's that?"

"How about I call your dad and tell him that you are moving in here, permanently. And if he ever tries to contact you or interfere in your life in any way, I'll have him arrested for what he tried to do to you and that you will be happy to testify against him in court. He will spend years in prison where they don't like people with his charges."

"You want me to move in here? With you? Permanently?"

"Yes, sort of, and yes. You can have Anne's room. She won't be using it for a long time. And we can see how it goes from there."

She leaped into my arms and we kissed and hugged. I felt like the weight I'd been carrying around was finally lifted.

"Oh, Dennis! I love you. I want to live here with you. I think it's a great idea!"

"I do love you, Gabriel. I'll call him and we'll move your things in tomorrow. Is that ok?"

"Better than ok! Can I tell Marie?"

"You can tell her that you are moving in, but hold off on the rest for a while. You can tell her why you're moving in if you want. It's up to you."

"I'll tell her while you tell dad."

I called her dad and laid it all out for him. He bitched and argued, but saw it our way when I told him that Gabriel would happily testify against him. I hung up as Gabriel came back in.

"Marie thinks it's a good idea for me to live here. I told her what dad did."

"Your dad won't try to stop you, either."

"Thank you, Dennis. I knew I wasn't wrong about us. What else is there to do?"

"Nothing."

"So, where am I sleeping tonight?"

"There are no sheets on Anne's bed and I don't know where they are. How do you feel about sleeping in here?"

"In here? With you?"

"No, not with me. I'll be on the sofa."

"You don't want to sleep with me?"

"I do, but not right off the bat. We have to be careful, Gabriel. You're a minor. We aren't alone in the house."

"Dennis, I meant sleep together as in 'sleep' together, not as in sex."

"Oh, Gabriel, I am so sorry. I totally misunderstood. I feel like a jerk. I don't want you to think that is why I wanted you here. That would make me no better than your dad."

"Dennis, no! Don't ever say that! You could never be anything like him. If I thought that, do you think I'd be sitting here? I feel one hundred percent safe, secure, and loved. I understand why you thought I meant the other sleeping together. That will happen eventually, I'm sure."

"You're sure, huh? What makes you so sure?"

"Because you want to, and deep down, so do I. I'm just not ready yet."

"We do? Ok, I accept that."

"Ok, now that it's all settled, can we go to bed?"

"Yes, ma'am. Bossy!"

"I'm not bossy, I just want to cuddle with you and go to sleep so that, when I wake up, I'll know it's not all just a dream. I really need to be held."

"No, sweety. This is no dream. It's a dream come true."

"It really is, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

I pulled my shirt off and crawled into bed. Gabriel pulled the shorts off and got in beside me.

"Is that what you sleep in?"

"Normally, yes. What about you?"

"No, I don't usually wear anything."

"Oh. Well...uh....ummm...thank you for keeping your pants on for me."

"Gabriel, are you sure you're ok with this? I can go to the sofa."

"I'm sure. Can we cuddle. I need to be held right now."

"Happy to oblige."

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close, her ass against my dick. I kissed her neck. She snuggled back against me.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Yes.....this is so nice. This is what I imagined it would be like."

"To be honest, I wouldn't let my mind go here. I was afraid I'd want you too much."

"Do you?"

"Yes and no. Yes, I want you. No, not so much that I can't wait until you are ready if and when you ever are."

"Dennis, I really do love you. I've never been more sure of anything in my life."

"Gabriel, I believe you. I love you too. More than I've ever loved anyone."

She moved her hand up to take my hand and squeeze it. I turned mine to take hers and hold it, intertwining our fingers.

"I wish I had a gun right now."

"Why?"

"So I could shoot the lights out rather than get up from holding you to turn them out."

She giggled, then moved to get up. She turned the lights out then came back and snuggled up to me. I wrapped my arm around her and held her. She took my hand and held it. We drifted off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning holding Gabriel. I slipped out of bed, trying not to wake her. I went in the kitchen and made coffee after my bathroom run. After I had my first cup, I called the office and told them I was taking a few days of vacation. I had two more cups before Gabriel woke up and came in. She was dressed in Marie's clothes.

"Is it ok if I have some coffee?"

"Gabriel, you're family, you live here now. Help yourself to whatever you want. You don't have to ask, ok?"

"Thank you, Dennis. And thank you for making this happen. I do feel so much better now."

"I'm glad you're here."

She kissed me on the cheek, then got her some coffee.

"Aren't you supposed to be gone to work?"

"Normally, yes. Why? You trying to get rid of me already?"

"Oh no! I didn't mean it like that."

"I know. I'm just teasing. Actually, I took a couple of days vacation so we can get you moved in and settled."

"That's sweet of you, but I could have done that."

"I don't want you going over there by yourself anymore."

"Thank you for that. I wasn't looking forward to having to."

"We'll go over and get your stuff whenever you get ready to. No rush. There's one thing I didn't tell you last night that you need to know."

"What's that?

"I made you father agree to print out and sign a legal document that terminates your parents' parental rights concerning you and assigning them to me. He is supposed to leave them in my mailbox this evening after he gets it notarized."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that they have no legal authority over you any more. I do. I'm your legal guardian now in the eyes of the law."

"So they can't make me do anything anymore? They can't make me live with them?"

"That's right."

"Only you can?"

"Correct again. I needed that in order to protect you from them and to be able to get you in school or get you any medical services you might need."

"So, what does that mean for us?"

"It means that I am legally responsible to take care of you. It's not like an adoption where you would become my daughter. I'm not your dad. I'm more of your body guard. I don't run your life. I wouldn't even if I could. You get to make your own decision and choices. I'll just be able to help you."

"So, basically it means that I am yours now?"

"You're my responsibility. I don't own you. You're mine in that I love you, I'll take care of you and provide for you."

"Then, I'm yours, since it's my choice. And you're mine, if you want to be."

"Do you want me to be yours?"

"Yes. I love you and want to be with you and care for you."

"It works for me. My choice, I'm yours."

"I'll start by getting you another cup of coffee if you want me to."

"Sure, if you don't mind."

She went in the kitchen and got us both another cup. She brought it to me, then sat down beside me on the sofa. I held my arm up and she snuggled in beside me.

"It feels good being here with you like this. You don't know what it was like being scared and alone most all the time."

"No, Gabriel, I don't. I'm truly sorry you had to live like that. But, that part of your life is over with now. You can put it all behind you."

"At least something good came out of it."

"What's that?"

"You!....and Marie and Anne."

"That's true. I just hate the emotional pain you had to endure to get to where you are now."

We just sat together for a few minutes being happy in each other's company. Then the phone rang. I answered.

"Hi, Anne."

"Hi dad. Marie called me last night and told me about Gabby. You did the right thing. Let her stay in my room. The dresser is empty except for the sheets for the bed. If you have room, you can put the clothes in my closet in yours. That should give Gabby plenty of room."

"Thanks for understanding. I'll move them to my closet."

"Is she all right?"

"Yes, Gabriel is ok now."

"Ok, that's good. Would you look and see if I left a box in my room? Maybe it is under the bed. If so, would you mail it to me?"

"Sure, baby girl, I'll look."

"I have to be in class in a few minutes, but I need to talk to Marie. Is she up?"

"I'll check. Hang on."

"I'll be right back Gabriel."

"Ok."

I went and knocked on Marie's door.

"Come in."

"Hi, sweety. Anne's on the phone needing to talk to you."

I handed her my phone, then I went to Anne's room to look for her box. I found it under the bed. While I was in there, I found the sheets and put them on the bed. I took the box to my room and got it addressed and ready to mail. Then I cleared out the clothes in her closet and put them in mine. I made a pit stop in the bathroom then headed back towards the living room. I heard Marie talking to Gabriel. I stopped where I was.

"Gabby, Anne and I both know that you really like daddy a lot. We're ok with that. All we want is for you not to hurt daddy. Don't break his heart like mom did years ago. Daddy was hurt really bad. I can see from how he looks at you and talks about you that he really cares for you. He might even be in love with you. Please don't hurt him."

"Marie, I care too much for him to ever hurt him. I didn't know about your mom. I'm sorry that he was hurt. I won't hurt him, ever!"

"Gabby.....please don't sleep with daddy unless you are really serious about him. That's how mom hurt him. She stopped sleeping with him and started sleeping with some body else and daddy found out."

"Marie, I won't ever do that! I couldn't ever do that!"

"Ok, Gabby. Welcome to the family."

I hurried back to my room and waited until Marie went back to hers. I came out and walked into the living room. Gabriel was standing at the window looking out. She turned when I came in.

"Dennis, Anne and Marie really love and care about you. I can understand why. Thank you for letting me be part of your family."

"You're welcome, Gabriel. I'm glad you are and that you want to be."

She walked up and gave me a hug.

"How much stuff do you have over there that you want to keep? I expect that today will be the last day you ever go back there."

"Hmmm. I have books, clothes, a computer, and my stuffed animals. Not a whole lot of stuff."

"I want to get it all packed and moved here in one trip. I guess we should take the car and load it up. I'll find us some boxes to use."

"Thank you. I don't ever want to go back there again."

"I understand."

I went to the garage and loaded some boxes in the car. I noticed a car in their driveway on my way back in.

"Whenever you are ready, we can go."

"Soon as I put my shoes on, I'll be ready. Thank you for going with me."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

She got her shoes on and we went out to the car. I drove us across the street and backed into their driveway. The car I saw earlier was still there. It belonged to a real estate agent. We got out and knocked on the door. Her mom answered and let us in without saying a word. She wouldn't even look at Gabriel. We went straight to her room and Gabriel started piling stuff on her bed from her dresser. I brought the boxes in and started packing them with the stuff she wanted to take. Then I hauled them out to the car while Gabriel started packing her suitcases. Once she was done, I brought them out to the car. Next, I disconnected her printer and loaded it and the other computer stuff in the last box. She had finished sorting through hanging clothes and was ready to bring them out. I took the box out and she started bringing her clothes to the car. We went back in and I got the last of her clothes while she got her personal stuff from the bathroom. I noticed she had left some low cut shirts and a nightgown on her bed.

"Gabriel, are you taking these?"

"No!"

She picked the nightgown up and showed it to me.

"This is what he tried to make me wear."

It was totally see through! She tossed it in the trash can along with the shirts. I took the last of the stuff to the car while she made sure she hadn't forgotten anything. I came back in.

"That's all, Dennis. I'm ready to leave."

"Ok, let's go home."

We walked to the front door. She stopped.

"Bye, mom."

No reply. We walked out and got in the car and went home. I unloaded the car for Gabriel and brought all the stuff to her room. I let her have her space to deal with the finality of things.

When it was all in, I went to see Gabriel. She was pouring us a cup of coffee and making herself some toast. I sat at the table with her as she ate it.

"Anne said you could have her room, so it's officially yours now. Fix it up however you like it. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Thank you, and thank Anne for me. I'm going to go unpack and put my stuff up if it's ok."

"Yeah, sure. The sooner you get unpacked, the sooner you'll get settled in. Welcome home."

She smiled at me and gave me a big hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Let me know if you need anything."

"I will."

While Gabriel got moved in, I went to the kitchen and took inventory of what we needed in the way of food. Other than pizza, I had no idea of what she liked to eat.

Several hours later, Gabriel came to the living room to tell me she was moved in.

"Dennis, I set up my computer but I don't know the wi-fi name or password. I was going to ask but you were busy so I took a shower. Can I get it if you aren't busy?"

"Gabriel, I'm never too busy for you. If you need anything, come tell me whether I'm busy or not."

"I don't want to be rude or anything."

"You're not. Like I said, I'm never to busy for you. Come on, we'll get you set up."

We walked to her room. She sat down at her computer and turned it on. I looked around her room. She had done a good job in here.

"Gabriel, I'm impressed. This room already has your personality. I like it."

"Thank you. It's prompting for the wi-fi now."

I looked at her screen but my eyes were drawn to her loose top. I gazed at her tits. She looked up at me, waiting. Then she realized where I was looking.

"Sorry. I forgot how loose this top is."

"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you."

"You didn't. I don't mind. To be honest, I like that you look instead of ignore me."

"I'd never ever ignore you, Gabriel. That would be like trying to ignore the most beautiful girl in the world walking naked in front of me. Oh, wait. You're already here, just not naked."

"You want me to be naked?"

"That's not what I meant. It was just a poor excuse for a comparison."

"So you were comparing me to the most beautiful girl in the world?"

"No, not that either. You already are."

"Are what?"

"The most beautiful girl in my world."

"That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. It's not true, but it's still nice to hear."

"It is true. And don't argue with me when I'm right. The point is that I couldn't ignore you even if I wanted to."

"Then thank you for the compliment."

I smiled at her and gave her the login stuff. She put it in and was up and running.

"How much time can I use the wi-fi?"

"As much as you need to. It's unlimited."

"Awesome! I used to only get three hours a week."

"Are you going to use it now?"

"No, I just wanted to get it set up."

"Good. I need to go grocery shopping and I was wanting you to go with me."

"Sure, I'd be happy to."

"When ever you get ready, we'll go."

"I'm ready now."

"Don't you think you're forgetting something?"

"What? You want me to change my top?"

"No, I meant your shoes."

"Oh. Yeah. I guess I do need them."

She put her shoes on and we headed to Wal-Mart."

"You'll have to help me pick out stuff you like to eat. Other than pizza, I don't know what you like. I just hope it's something I know how to cook."

"If you would like, I can do the cooking for you. That's the only thing I got from mom that I appreciate. She taught me how to cook."

"You don't have to cook, but you are welcome to any time you want to."

"It's settled then. I'll be the cook."

She scooted over and sat next to me. I put my arm around her and gave her a hug.

"What kind of stuff do you like, Dennis?"

"Hmmm, I like beautiful girls the most."

"I meant to eat, doof!"

"Oh."

She giggled and smiled at me, then kissed my cheek.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For me being able to be truly happy."

"You're welcome, sweety. That's the only way I ever want you to be."

She snuggled closer to me.

"I really am! It's such a glorious feeling!"

I hugged her and held her.

"I like fried pork chops the best, I think."

"Pork? I've never had pork. It wasn't allowed in the house because of their religion."

"Well, you're in for a treat then. Just wait until you try some, especially bacon."

"I'd feel like a rebel eating that."

"Good! Go for it! Don't be afraid to try new things. And don't be afraid to pursue what you want in life."

She looked up at me with a smile and a look in her eyes I couldn't fathom.

We got to Wal-mart and bought loads of groceries. Then she told me she needed something.

"Well, let's go get it."

"But it's in the feminine products aisle."

"So? It's not like I haven't been there before."

"But, I'll be embarrassed."

"Would it help if I didn't look while you put it in the basket?"

"No. It's for me. I'll get it."

"Honey, I told you that you're family. I take care of family. Buying what is needed is part of that. That means I take care of you for as long as you want to be at home."

"I want to be there forever, if you'll let me."

"I'll let you without a doubt. It's our home, not your prison."

She hugged me then turned away, but not before I saw the tears in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Gabriel?"

"Nothing is wrong. I've just never experienced this much care about me before. Ever."

She grabbed a box of pads and dropped it in the basket. We went to check-out and back to the car. I unloaded the bags of groceries into the trunk of the car then got in. Gabriel scooted over next to me and we cuddled all the way home. We unloaded everything then put it up.

"Shoo...out of the kitchen. I'm going to start fixing dinner."

"Well, can't I at least get a cup of coffee before you banish me?"

"I'll make some and bring you a cup."

"Thank you. I'd appreciate that."

I went to watch the news. Something was banging outside. I peeked out the curtains. The realtor was putting a For Sale sign in her parent's front yard.

"Gabriel?"

"Coffee isn't ready yet."

"No, come see."

She walked in and over to the window. I pointed at their house. She saw and broke out in a big smile.

"I guess we scared your father more than I thought."

"Good riddance."

She danced back into the kitchen. A few minutes later, Gabriel came with my coffee. She leaned over to hand it to me, far enough for her top to fall open. I looked at her two beautiful tits. Then I looked at her eyes. She was smiling, watching me look.

"Thank you, Gabriel."

"I hope you like it."

"I do, very much!"

She giggled.

"I meant the coffee."

"Oh."

I tasted it.

"That's good honey. You did good!"

"I've never made coffee before."

"Really? This is as good as mine."

She beamed, then went back to cooking. I went out to the mail box. Along with the ever present junk mail was an unmarked envelope. I went in and opened it. It was a signed and notarized Transfer of Parental Authority and Rights. I signed it then went to the kitchen. Gabriel was stirring a pot.

"Gabriel."

"Yes?"

"Your father did it."

"Did what?"

She turned to me and I showed her the paper. She read it, then broke out in a huge smile.

"This means I'm your responsibility now?"

"Yep. I'm officially your acting daddy."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me on the lips. I kissed her back with a lingering kiss as I held her.

"So I'm totally free of them?"

"Yep. Completely."

"I didn't think I could be any happier than I was, but I am. I feel free and have hope for the first time in my life. Thank you for making that happen."

"I wanted it as much as you did."

"Why?"

"Because I really care about you. When you hurt, I hurt. I want for you to be happy and successful in life and to be able to get whatever in life you want."

She gave me that weird look again, but through teary eyes. I held her close, not knowing what else to do or say. After a minute, she turned back to her cooking.

"I hope this didn't burn. Did you tell Marie that she has another sister, kind of?"

"No, I wanted you to know first. You can tell her or I can, which ever you choose."

"I will, and Anne, too."

"Ok. Dinner smells good by the way."

"I hope you like it."

"I'm sure I will. You cooked it."

"Thank you, daddy. Oops, acting daddy."

I grinned at her then left her to her cooking.

Gabriel's dinner was excellent. Round steak with rice and gravy and veggies on the side. There was no left-overs. She was so happy we liked her cooking. I told her I would clean up since she cooked. She readily agreed since she wasn't feeling good. Marie told me she had started her period. I cleaned everything up then went to bed.

Since Gabriel was moved in and settled, I slept in. When I did get up, I made coffee and sat at the table enjoying the quiet. I spent the time trying to sort out my thoughts and feelings. I know I cared for Gabriel, I even loved her. But was it a daughter kind of love or something more? My heart wanted it to be more but my head said no, it was just going to end in more hurt. Was her professed love for me the daddy she never had kind? I expected Anne and Marie both knew more than I did about the subject, but they kept it to themselves. I suspected that the 'new sister' remark was the truth. My head won the argument. I decided to totally back off and let things be. I also decided to fry some bacon and eggs for my breakfast.

I poured my forth cup of coffee and then put some bacon frying. It wasn't long before the house smelled of bacon frying. I heard a noise in the back of the house.

"Marie, what's that smell?"

"Daddy's cooking bacon."

"Bacon? That smells so good!"

"Daddy is the best at it. If you want some, tell him, and tell him I want some too."

"I will. Does it taste as good as it smells?"

"You never had bacon before?"

"No. Pork wasn't allowed in the house."

"Well, I love bacon. Especially daddy's."

"I'm gonna try some."

"I think you will like it."

Gabriel appeared in the kitchen.

"Dennis, Marie wants some bacon. I'd like to try some too. Marie said you would cook us some, please."

"I'd be happy to. It will be ready in a few minutes. You want a fried egg to go with it?"

"Ok, thank you."

I put eight more pieces in the skillet while Gabriel watched. Then she went to do her bathroom stuff. I put four slices each on three plates, then fried our eggs in the bacon grease. They were ready in less than two minutes.

"Girls! Breakfast is ready."

I put the plates on the table and poured Gabriel a cup of coffee. They were already at the table when I brought the coffee in.

"Dig in before it gets cold."

Marie started munching down on hers. Gabriel took a tentative bite. The look on her face said it all. She finished hers in nothing flat.

"I take it that you like bacon."

"Oh, this is so good! I could eat a dozen more pieces! Thank you for fixing it."

"You're welcome. Guess I'll have to stock up on more now."

"I told ya, Gabby. Daddy makes the best bacon."

"You're right about that! I love it!"

She took a bite of her eggs and rolled her eyes.

"Even the egg tastes like bacon!"

"I fried it in fresh bacon grease to give it the bacon flavor. Learned that from my dad."

"This is so good. You have to teach me how to fry bacon."

"Next time I cook it, I'll wake you up first."

"Thank you."

We finished breakfast. I cleaned the dishes while they went back to what they were doing. On the way back to my room, I stopped to see Marie. Gabriel was taking a shower.

"Marie, Gabriel's birthday is in a few more weeks. Any idea what we can get her?"

"No, daddy. I have no idea what she might want or need."

"Would you try to find out? I have no idea either."

"Ok, daddy."

I went in to my room and checked my e-mail, then played a few games. I was getting bored since I had nothing I needed to do. I decided to try to finish reading a book I started reading it weeks ago. But first, I needed more coffee so I headed for the kitchen. I could hear Gabriel and Marie talking as I passed by Marie's room. I poured me a cup then headed for my room. I stopped outside Marie's room when I heard Gabriel.

"Marie, can I ask you something personal?"

"Sure, Gabby."

"When you were my age, did you ever see your dad looking at your boobs?"

"No, I don't remember him ever doing that. He might have when he took us swimming at a pool. He watched us like a hawk. But I think he was making sure we were safe, not looking at us."

"Oh, ok. I was just curious."

"I know your dad did some bad things, but you're safe here. Daddy won't let anything happen to us here or do anything to hurt any of us."

"I know."

I hurried to my room. I knew I had to stop looking. I thought she wanted me to, but I guess I was wrong. I guess I made her uncomfortable. I felt a deep sadness come over me. I picked up the book and tried to read. After a dozen pages, I fell asleep.

I woke up a few hours later, still weighed down with sadness. I went and poured some fresh coffee and went out to the front yard and sat down on the swing bench. A little while later, a moving van pulled up at Gabriel's parent's house. They started loading furniture and boxes. I watched them for a while, then Gabriel came out. I pointed the van out to her.

"They are actually moving out! Who said things couldn't get any better?"

I looked up at her. She had a big smile and her eyes sparkled. She was really happy.

"Now you have nothing to worry about."

"That feels so good."

"I'm glad."

"I wondered where you went. I was looking for you. Marie said you come out here sometimes when you need to be alone. Do you want me to go back inside?"

"No, Gabriel. You don't have to go. I'm not trying to be alone. But, since we are alone, I need to say I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"For thinking something was one way when it wasn't."

"Huh? I'm confused."

"Never mind. It's not important any more. What did you need me for?"

"Oh, yeah. I was wondering what you wanted me to cook you for dinner."

"I don't have a taste for anything in particular. Whatever you want to fix is ok with me."

"What if I wanted pizza?"

"Then I'd order it. Is that what you want?"

"If it's ok with you."

"It is. I'll order it when y'all get ready to eat."

"Thank you."

She turned and bounced back inside. I sat there and let time slip away. I finally went back inside when the traffic picked up from people coming home from work. I put a load of clothes washing then ordered the pizzas. Twenty five minutes later, they arrived carried by my delivery girl. I opened the door to see her standing there with just the Dominoes vest on and open. I starred at her tits.

"Damn! I wish my kids weren't here. I love your tits!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't think about kids."

"It's ok. I love how you deliver. Maybe next time?"

"I hope so."

I gave her a big tip then rubbed her tits and pinched her hard nipples. She closed her eyes.

"Mmmmmmmm...I love how you do that."

I let go of them and took the pizzas. She zipped up and left. I went inside with the pizzas.

"Pizzas are here!"

I put them on the table then went to get napkins and drinks. Both girls were at the table when I turned around. Dinner was quiet. We just ate then we went back to our rooms.

The next three days flew by since I was back at work. I saw Gabriel and Marie at dinner, but that was all. I could see that Gabriel was bothered by something, but I had no idea what. Before Marie left the kitchen, I asked her.

"Marie, what's up with Gabriel? I can tell something is bothering her."

"It's her period, daddy. She said she really hurts and doesn't feel well."

"Is there anything I can get for her that will help?"

"She needs some Midol but she won't ask you to get any. She's embarrassed and she doesn't want to be a bother."

"She's no bother! I'll go get her some now."

"She would appreciate it, daddy."

"I wish someone would have told me sooner."

I went to the drug store and bought her a bottle, then came back home. I went in and knocked on her door.

"Come in."

"Hi, Gabriel. I understand you need this."

I handed her the bag. She looked in it and saw what it was and turned red.

"Thank you. I do, but I didn't want to bother you."

"Honey, it's no bother and you're never a bother. It's my job and my privilege to take care of you."

"I'm sorry. I guess I'm still not used to anyone caring about me. My father never would get me any of these."

"I'm so sorry. It just amazes me what all kind of stuff you had to go through and deal with. And yet you still maintained a positive attitude through it all."

"I didn't always have a positive attitude. Marie helped a lot since I've known her. Then you made everything better."

"I'm really happy we were able to. And we are here for you now."

"I know. Thank you. I'm sorry I haven't been the best company lately."

"It's ok, honey. I do understand. Neither Anne nor Marie is always easy to get along with when they have a hard time with theirs."

"Thank you for understanding. This will help a lot."

"You're welcome. I hope it does. It hurts my heart to see you suffer. I'm glad there was something I could do to help you."

She smiled a weak smile, then opened the bottle and took some. I went on to my room.

The weekend was quiet. Gabriel slept through most of it. I guessed the medicine worked. By mid-week, she was back to normal. She started back wearing shorts and loose tops again. I enjoyed but endured the periodic flashing of her tits. I tried to write it off as harmless teasing or flirting. I wouldn't let myself stare at them. She still rubbed her knee on my leg at dinner some. I rubbed her back. The more I tried to treat her like a daughter, the more my heart yearned for it to be more. The more I yearned, the more my brain said no, no more hurts. Even Marie saw the change in me. I tried hard to hide the sadness I felt and the inner turmoil I dealt with.

I got up Saturday morning and had several cups of coffee in the quiet. I decided to go grocery shopping since I had to go pick up Gabriel's present. It was ready. I still didn't know what kind of cake she liked.

Then I finally heard Marie up. I went and knocked on her door.

"Come in."

I opened the door. Marie was going back to bed.

"Late night again?"

"Yeah. We're having problems getting the modules to interact properly. I'm too tired to look at it anymore right now."

"Well, I know you can solve it. Get some rest. I'm going to the store to get Gabriel's present and then go to Wal-mart for groceries. You need anything?"

"No, nothing I know of...except more bacon."

"Do you know what kind of cake Gabriel likes?"

"Coconut or carrot cake."

"Ok. I'll get carrot since you don't like coconut."

"And bacon."

""Ok...and bacon."

"Thanks, daddy."

"Get some sleep. See you later."

"K."

I closed the door, then knocked on Gabriel's door.

"Come in."

"Morning Gabriel. It's grocery shopping time again. Do you want or need anything?"

"Oh, you don't want me to go with you?"

She got a hurt look in her eyes.

"No, honey. You're more than welcome to go. I didn't expect you wanted to. I should have asked. Sorry."

"So I can go with you?"

"Sure honey. We'll go when ever you get ready. No rush."

"Thanks Dennis. I won't be long."

"No problem. I'll be drinking more coffee. You want me to bring you some?"

"That would be nice. Thanks."

"Ok, be right back."

I went and poured us both a cup and sat mine on the table. I brought Gabriel her cup to her door and knocked.

"It's open."

I opened the door. She was standing by the closet, topless, looking for a shirt. I couldn't help but stare at her tits. Awesomely beautiful!

"Oh....ummm...uuuhhh...sorry."

I sat the cup on her desk.

"It's ok. Actually, I wanted you to see me. You haven't looked lately and I was afraid you weren't interested any more. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you."

"Not embarrassed, just caught me by surprise. I've had a lot on my mind lately."

"Anything I can help with?"

"I don't know. I think maybe I'm just depressed or maybe just confused and I don't know how to handle it or deal with it. I don't know."

"I'm here if you need me Dennis."

"I know, and thank you."

I took another gaze at her tits, then went back to the kitchen. She came out a little bit later. We had another cup of coffee.

"Gabriel, do you mind if I drop you off at Wal-Mart? You can start shopping while I run an errand, then I'll catch up to you at the store."

"Will you be gone long?"

"No, I ordered something and I have to go pick it up. It will take maybe fifteen minutes."

"Ok."

We went to the car. I opened the door for her and we got in.

"Can I still sit next to you?"

I looked at her, a tear forming in my eye.

"Of course you can. That spot is reserved for you when ever you want it."

She smiled and scooted over right next to me and cuddled up. I put my arm around her shoulder and hugged her.

"Mmmmmm....I've missed this."

"You know you can have a hug or sit next to me any time you want to. I like it too, remember?"

"To be honest, I wasn't sure any more."

"I'm sorry, Gabriel. Some things are hard for me to deal with. But this helps."

She looked up and kissed my cheek.

I dropped her off at Wal-Mart, then went to the jewelry store to pick up the package. It was exquisite. I hoped she would like it. I put the bag under my seat and went to Wal-Mart. I found Gabriel in the meat department looking at bacon.

"Get two or three pounds of it."

"I don't know how to pick it out."

I showed her what to look for, then we got some pork chops for dinner tonight. We finished up the shopping and checked out. The buggy was over loaded with stuff. It filled the whole trunk! I opened the door for Gabriel and we got in. She scooted over next to me, cuddling up. We headed for home.

"Was your order not ready?"

"My order? Oh, the package. Yeah, I got it. Why?"

"I don't see it."

"You're not supposed to. Not till Friday."

"My birthday? You got me something?"

"Did you think I wouldn't?"

"I didn't know. Usually all I got for my birthday was a cake I had to bake."

"Not any more."

"Then I can't wait till Friday!"

She kissed my cheek again. We got home and unloaded groceries and Gabriel put them up. I snuck her present in my room while she was busy then came in to help.

"Is that cake mix for me, too?"

"Yes."

"Am I baking it?"

"Nope. I do the baking around here for the most part. Especially this time."

"You even do your own birthday cake?"

"No, sometimes Marie bakes that."

"Well, I will from now on."

"I'm sure she won't mind."

"Can I help with the pork chops so I can learn how to do them?"

"Sure. I'll be happy to show you how. Tonight's are simple."

She kissed me on the cheek and then went to her room. I went to mine and wrapped her present. After I finished, I just sat there, lost in my thoughts. Time slipped by. I looked at the clock. It was almost time to start dinner. I went and knocked on Gabriel's door.

"Just a minute."

"It's just me. When you are ready, it's time to start cooking. I'll be in the kitchen."

I went to the kitchen and got the chops out of the refrigerator and sat them on the counter to get to room temperature. Then I looked to see what sides to have with them. Gabriel showed up a few minutes later. Her face was flushed.

"Are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You look all flushed in your face."

She got redder.

"Yeah...well...uuuhhhh...I'm fine."

She came and stood by me to watch. I smelled a musky, feminine odor. It hit me. Gabriel must have been masturbating when I knocked on her door! Hmmmmm. I smiled at her and kissed her head.

"It's really simple to fry plain pork chops. I'll let you do it."

I explained to her step by step how to do it. She fried them up perfectly. I cooked the microwave mac'n'cheese while she finished up the last batch. Then I went to get Marie and set the table. Gabriel brought the food out. We sat down to eat.

"These are really good, Gabby."

"Thanks, Marie. You're dad's a good teacher."

"Daddy, you did good on the mac'n'cheese, too."

She and Gabriel giggled at that.

"What can I say, Marie? I'm a microwave whiz. Gabriel, these pork chops are perfect."

"Thank you."

I felt her knee on my leg. I put my hand on her knee and rubbed it. She smiled at me and I winked at her. After dinner, we sat at the table drinking coffee. She put her hand on my thigh. I reached down and took her hand in mine and brought it up to my lips and kissed it. I looked in her eyes.

"Dennis, I love you."

"I love you, too."

I wanted to take her in my arms and hold her and kiss her. I wanted to tell her that I was in love with her. I wanted to, but I didn't. I just held her hand. She continued to look at me. I started to say something, but she wrapped her other hand around my arm and laid her head on my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head and we sat like that for a while.

"Gabriel?"

"Yes?"

"Can you come in here?"

"Ok."

She got up and went to Marie's room. I went in and did the dishes, then went and took a shower, jacked off, and went to bed.

Gabriel spent most of Sunday with Marie. I did nothing all day. Just relaxed.

The next four days blew by.

I went to work Friday morning, but left around noon to go home. I was going to bake Gabriel's cake and decorate a little. I got home and went right to the kitchen. I didn't see either of them all afternoon. I don't think they even knew I was there.

I decorated the table area with a few birthday balloons while the cake baked. While it cooled, I hung a big 'Happy Birthday' banner across the entry. Then I iced the cake and put candles on it and sat it in the middle of the table. With all that done, I ordered the pizzas. I snuck in my room to get her present and I put it by the cake.

The pizzas arrived and I put them on the table. I got napkins, drinks, and plates for the cake and put them on the table. I went to get Marie. She came in and was surprised at the decorations. She put a present on the table for Gabriel and looked at everything.

"Gabby will be so surprised and happy. Daddy, you did good."

"I hope so. Go get her."

Marie went and knocked on her door.

"Come in."

"Gabby, can you come in the kitchen please? I need you."

Gabriel came out and headed for the kitchen. When she turned in, we said

"Surprise!"

Gabriel looked stunned. She started crying. Marie went and hugged her.

"Happy Birthday, Gabby."

I stepped over and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around my waist and held me, crying.

"Happy Birthday, honey."

"Thank you both so much! I can't believe y'all did this for me! I've never had a birthday party before."

"Gabby, daddy did all of this, for you. I didn't know anything about it until just before I came and got you."

"When did you do this? When could you have done all this?"

"I've been home since noonish."

"I didn't hear a thing!"

"I'm just glad you like it."

"Like it? I love it! And I love you.....both."

"I love you, Gabriel."

"See Gabby. I told you!"

"Let's eat pizza. Gabriel, you get to sit in my seat."

We sat and ate the pizza. Afterwards, I lit the candles on her cake.

"Make a wish, then blow them out Gabby."

She did. I cut the cake and served it. After we had cake, I gave Gabriel the gift from Marie. She opened it. It was a picture of Gabriel photo shopped into a picture of Marie, Anne, and me that Marie had in her room. It looked so totally natural that you would swear that Gabriel was in the original picture. The frame had 'My Family' carved in the frame. Gabriel started crying again and hugged Marie as she thanked her. Then I gave her the gift from me. She opened it and gasped.

"Dennis! This is so beautiful! It matches the earrings and necklace! I can't believe it!"

She got up and wrapped her arms around my neck. I hugged her back then kissed her on the lips. She kissed me back.

"Let me put it on you."

She held out her arm and I put the ruby and topaz tennis bracelet on her wrist.

"Be right back."

Gabriel ran to her room. She came out a minute later wearing the earrings and necklace.

"They all match perfectly! Thank you, Dennis!"

"I thought you might like it."

"I love it!"

She wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me another kiss.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You got mail, Gabriel."

I handed her an envelope that came in today's mail. She opened it. It was a birthday card from Anne to her sister. She loved it.

"I need to go call Anne. I'll be back."

"Ok. Tell her hello for us."

Gabriel went back to her room.

"Well, Marie. I think we overwhelmed her."

"Ya think! I didn't know she never had a birthday party before."

"Me either."

"Daddy, we need to talk."

"Ok, I'm listening."

"Not now. Maybe in the morning."

"Whenever you want. You know that."

She went to her room. I had a cup of coffee and another piece of cake. A little while later, Gabriel came into the room. I took her hand and led her to the sofa. I sat down and asked her to sit in my lap. She did and I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight. She snuggled up to me and let me hold her.

"Gabriel, I love you. I'm so happy you are here in my life. But, I'm scared of hurting you or making you feel like you have to do anything you don't want to. I truly just want you to be happy."

"I am happy. I've never been happier in my life. Y'all have showed me so much that I missed out on before you. I love you and I know you won't ever hurt me on purpose. I feel overwhelmed with life now, life as I never imagined it could be like. You've helped me grow and realize what's important in life. I know what I want now. I hope it's possible but I'm scared I might find out it isn't."

"Honey, that's part of growing up. Dealing with life's disappointments is rarely easy. But, on the other hand, if it's what you really want then it's worth the risk. You might surprise yourself and find it is possible. You won't know if you don't try. Don't let uncertainty stop you from trying."

"You're right. I need to just go for it, to figure out what to do to get it."

"I'll help you if you want or if I can."

She giggled at that.

"What's so funny about that, birthday girl?"

"Maybe I'll tell you one day."

"Women! Who can figure them out?"

Instead of a punch in the arm for that, I got a kiss on the cheek.

"This is so nice being here with you like this."

"I agree. I wish I could stay here all night just holding you."

She looked up at me with that same look she'd been giving me lately. All I could think to do was kiss her forehead and smile at her.

We just sat there enjoying the quiet time together for a while. I looked down at her. She was asleep in my arms. I moved and slid an arm under her knees and picked her up and carried her to her bed. I laid her on it and kissed her head then went to my room.

I got up early Saturday morning and made coffee. I was pouring my third cup when Marie came in.

"You awake enough to talk daddy?"

"Yeah, I'm good. Whatcha need, honey?"

"I need you and Gabby to talk to each other."

"We do talk to each other. What are you referring to?"

"You and Gabby. I don't understand y'all."

"What don't you understand?"

"I've seen how you look at Gabby. I know you love her. You said so yourself. But for the past week or so, you have had the saddest look on your face that I've seen since mom's affair came out. If she's hurt you, talk to her."

"She hasn't hurt me, honey."

"Well, she's scared of you now."

"Scared of me? Why? Did I do something?"

"No! And that's just it. You haven't."

"I'm confused."

"Daddy, Gabby loves you very much. She's in love with you, but she's afraid you will reject her because she is young."

"Well, she is. She just turned fifteen. She has her whole life ahead of her. I don't. She's in high school now. These years should be among the happiest times of her life. Dating, dances, parties, friends. I couldn't take that away from her by tying her down to me. That isn't fair to her."

"Daddy, you're worried about things that Gabby just doesn't care about. She has loved you for months. She is very mature despite her age and she knows what she wants. You! Anne and I are both ok with it as long as you are happy. We think you and Gabby belong together. Please talk to her."

"Marie, to be honest with you, I've been in love with Gabriel for a while. I didn't want to be because I don't want her to resent me for taking away all those high school memories she'd miss out on. I guess I do need to talk to her. And I guess that would explain all those weird looks I've been getting from her lately."

"Duh! Daddy, don't be a doof. If you want Gabby, go get her. She definitely wants you."

"Ok, Marie. I'll talk to her before I go to Houston Tuesday."

"Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Will you be home for your birthday?"

"Yeah. I fly back in Friday evening. I'll be here Saturday. Remember, no party!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. But Gabby doesn't."

"She will. You and Anne are actually ok with me being with Gabriel?"

"Yes, we are. So what if it's illegal. Love shouldn't be restricted by age or law."

"Yeah, you're right. It shouldn't be, but it is."

"So, just don't advertise it."

"I'll talk to her. Thank you for being honest with me, Marie. This is what I've been struggling with for days."

"I thought so, daddy. I love you. I just want you to be happy. Anne and I both do."

"I love you too, sweety. Enough to go fry us up some bacon and eggs if you want some."

"I do. Gabby will too."

I hugged Marie then went to the kitchen and got the bacon going. I decided to do the whole pound. Pretty soon the whole house smelled of bacon. Gabriel got up and came to the kitchen to watch me cook it after she got coffee.

"Mmmmmmm, the smell of frying bacon woke me up."

"It's the best alarm clock in the world."

I put the next round of bacon frying and went and poured me some coffee. I held my arms out for Gabriel. She came over and I wrapped them around her in a tight hug. I lifted her chin and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Gabriel, I do love you."

"I love you too, Dennis."

"I need to talk to you after breakfast, ok?"

"About what?"

"About my being a doof."

"Huh?"

"You'll see."

She looked at me with searching eyes. I smiled and winked at her. Then I kissed her again.

"Come see. This is how you cook bacon."

I showed her then let her finish the pound. Then I showed her how to fry an egg sunny side up in bacon grease.

"I cooked this one for you. Now you cook one for me."

She did, perfectly. Then she split the bacon evenly between the three of us. There was one piece left over so she grinned and ate it. I called Marie and we sat down to eat. Gabriel sat closer to me. I put my hand on her knee and squeezed and rubbed it. Gabriel finished her egg and switched to eating the bacon with her left hand so she could put her right hand on my hand. I turned mine to hold hers. Marie smiled at us.

"Geez y'all, at the table?"

"Yep."

"About time."

"About time for what, sis?"

Marie just rolled her eyes and shook her head. We finished breakfast and Marie went back to her room. I took Gabriel's hand and we went to the sofa. I sat her down then sat beside her and took her hands in mine as I looked in her eyes.

"Gabriel, you know that I love you and that I would never do anything to hurt you."

"Uh huh."

"There is something else you need to know."

"What's that?"

"I am deeply in love with you. I didn't want to be, but I can't fight the truth. I am."

"Oh, Dennis. I don't understand. Why would you fight being in love with someone? Am I too young for you? I hope not because I'm in love with you. I have loved you for months."

"Yes and no. No, you aren't to young, but yes, you are young. I didn't want to be because I was scared. Scared you didn't feel the same for me and scared because you have your whole life ahead of you. Your high school years should be among the happiest years of your life. You'll have the opportunities to make so many happy memories. Making new friends to hang out with, parties, the prom, dances, and dating. I don't want you to resent me because you missed out on those things because you were tied down to me."

"Is that all?! I guess you don't realize that I don't care about those kind of things. People my age are, for the most part, shallow. I have nothing in common with them. Why would I want to hang out with them. If I make a few friends, I can still see them some. You don't see me burning up my phone talking to people. You don't see me wanting to go out with anyone, except you. I have no interest in that."

"Then what do you want? What's important to you?"

"You! You're all I want. I love you so much it hurts. What's important to me is you, being with you, loving you. I want to be your girl. I want to be your wife one day. That's what."

"I want to have you as my girl, to be your guy. But I can't ask you to marry me."

"Why? Why can't you? Are you afraid I'll hurt you, too?"

"No, that's not it at all. You're a minor. It's illegal."

"If I wasn't a minor, would you?"

"Yes, in a heartbeat!"

"And I would say yes. I will say yes when you do ask me no matter how long I have to wait."

"You'll be eighteen in three years. If you still feel the same way, I can ask you then. Can we keep it a secret until then?"

"If I have to, yes."

"Then I know what I'm giving you for your eighteenth birthday."

"What?"

"A wedding."

"Oh, Dennis! And I do promise never to hurt you like your wife did."

"I believe you."

She climbed in my lap, wrapped her arms around my neck and we kissed deeply. I hugged and held her.

"Dennis, I am the happiest girl in the whole world now."

"You've made me the happiest and luckiest guy in the world."

"Luckiest?"

"Yeah. Who else can say they are lucky enough to marry the most beautiful girl in the world?"

"You keep saying that."

"Because it's true. You can't see you through my eyes so you'll just have to trust me."

"Thank you. I do."

"You know, now that we have all this straightened out, there is one thing we can do since I can't officially ask you to marry me."

"What would that be?"

"Have you ever heard of a promise ring?"

"Isn't that like an engagement ring?"

"Sorta, kinda, almost, but not really."

"Then what?"

"Well, before I tell you, I think I really need to kiss you."

"Then I probably need to be kissed by you."

I lifted her chin and kissed her softly. She parted her lips and ran her tongue over my lips. I opened them and our tongues danced in total bliss, exploring each other, tasting each other. Her small, fifteen year old tongue was incredibly erotic. We just held each other when our lips parted.

"That was an awesome kiss, my love."

"Mmmmmmm, yes it was."

"It's hard to imagine you never kissed another guy."

"Only you."

"So, where were we?"

"The promise ring thing."

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I got distracted."

"I'm not."

"Anyway. A promise ring says that the guy is serious about the girl and wants her to be his. He is promising himself to her and to be faithful to her. If she accepts, she is promising herself to him and to be faithful to him. By wearing it, it says they are committed to each other. It's like the next step up from going steady."

"Oh. That sounds romantic. Are you saying you want to give me one?"

"Yes, I do."

"I'll have to think about it......Ok, I've thought about it. Yes."

"Took you that long to decide?"

"I don't like rushing into things."

"I see. So I guess there is no rush in going to find one then."

"No, as long as it's soon, like today."

"I like the way you don't rush things."

We both laughed. It felt good.

"On a serious note. I do need to see about getting you one soon."

"Why?"

"It will keep me from having to beat up all the high school boys who will be hitting on you for dates."

"I doubt that will be an issue."

"You don't know high school boys. I do. I was one."

"Are you saying you would be jealous?"

"Yep. I don't want nobody trying to take you away from me."

"Like that would ever happen. I don't care about them. I only want you."

"You're in luck, little girl. I'm already yours."

"And I am yours forever."

We kissed and cuddled.

"Dennis, I like the idea of a promise ring. Can we get one?"

"Yes. As soon as you are ready to go, we can. I'm glad you wanted one."

"Mmmmm...ok. I'll go get ready."

She went to her room and I went to shower. Twenty minutes later, we were headed for the car. I opened her door and she scooted to he middle. I got in and she snuggled up to me. I gave her a quick kiss and we drove off to the jewelry store her bracelet came from. When we parked there, I looked at her.

"Last chance to change your mind."

"Not happening, Dennis. My mind has been made up for a while."

"You're gonna be stuck with me forever."

"No one I'd rather be stuck with."

"I love you, Gabriel, with all my heart."

"I love you too, Dennis. Forever."

We kissed then got out and went in. I stopped us at an empty register and got her finger size. Then we went to the ring section and actually found a display of them. She looked and found one she liked. It was fourteen carat gold with a small diamond. It looked great on her finger. I asked the clerk if they had it in a size four. They did. I bought it and we left for the car. Gabriel was all excited when she slid in. I got in and she scooted next to me and held out her left hand. I took her hand and kissed it. She looked at me.

"So, when do I get it?"

"I thought you didn't rush things? Patience, my love. I want to do this right."

I looked into her eyes.

"You are so beautiful. I don't deserve you."

"Don't say that. I'm not that special."

"You are to me. Gabriel, I offer you this ring as a sign of my commitment to you, as a sign of my love for you, and as proof of my faithfulness to you, forever. If you accept this ring from me, you are taking and wearing it as a sign of your commitment, love, and faithfulness to me forever. Will you accept this ring?"

"Yes, my dearest Dennis. Proudly I accept it and proudly I will wear it."

I put the ring on her finger and kissed her hand, then her lips. She had tears in her eyes.

"I now pronounce you mine, forever."

"I am yours and you are mine forever."

We kissed again, then headed home.

"Dennis, what about Anne and Marie? How will they feel about this?"

"Well, fortunately, I don't need their permission. But I'm sure they will be happy for us. How will you feel when they start calling you 'mom'?"

She giggled at that.

"I hadn't thought about that. It would be weird. You really think they will accept me as your wife?"

"Yes, I do."

"Can my life get any better?"

"I'll do what I can to make it better."

"That's why I love you so much! You care about me so much. I promise to do my best to be your perfect girl and your perfect wife."

I chuckled at that.

"What's so funny about that? You don't believe me?"

"No, honey. It's not that. Do you know the definition of a guy's 'perfect girl' and 'perfect wife'?"

"No, what is it?"

"A guy's perfect girl is one who is in the kitchen, barefoot and naked when he gets home. His perfect wife is in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant when he gets home."

"Really? That's so sexist! Is that what you want?"

"I wouldn't object in either case to it, but I'd never force it on you."

"I don't think I'd mind the perfect wife but the perfect girl is out. I'd be totally embarrassed to be naked in front of Marie."

"How about if she wasn't there?"

"I might one day. Sounds like it could be fun."

"To set your mind at ease, you already are my perfect girl."

"How so?"

"You love me, you want to be with me, it's forever. What else could I want?"

"I don't know."

"You're wearing my ring. I have all I want. You!"

She cuddled closer and kissed my cheek. When we got home, she went straight to Marie's room to show her. Marie came out with Gabriel.

"Daddy, it's about time! I don't know what took y'all so long to do it. I'm happy for you."

"Thank you, sweety. After Gabriel talks to Anne, we should get ready and go out to dinner."

"Yes, we should. I just wish Anne was home to go out with us."

"Yeah, that would be nice, Marie."

"Dennis, can we go out to a nice restaurant where we can dress up a little and I can wear my rubies?"

"Gabriel, your wish is my command."

"Daddy, you're too easy."

They both laughed.

"Well, I never want any of my girls to want for anything."

That got me a hug and kiss from both of them. Then Gabriel called Anne. While they talked, Marie and I started to get cleaned up and ready. When I was done, I looked in the phone book for a nice restaurant. Gabriel was in getting ready. She picked out a nice dress and put on her jewelry. Marie wore nice jeans and a conservative blouse. They went to the living room while I made reservations.

"Gabby, you look awesome in that dress. Daddy keeps staring at you."

"Thanks, Marie. I'm hoping he likes it. I dressed up for him."

"I think he more than likes it."

"He looks pretty good in that suit, too."

"Gabby, daddy did that for you. He hates wearing a tie."

"Really? I didn't know that."

I walked in.

"Ok, ladies. Shall we go feast?"

We headed for the car. I opened the doors for them. Gabriel scooted in the middle. Marie sat by the door. Marie giggled at Gabriel. We headed out to a very nice seafood restaurant.

We went in and got our table. I pulled the chair out for Gabriel, then Marie. I sat between them. We ordered.

"Do you two realize that you're getting jealous looks from some of the other girls in here?"

"I bet they are jealous of us being with such a handsome guy. You think that's why, Marie."

"Probably is, Gabby. Let them be jealous!"

"No, I think it's because you two are so stunningly beautiful."

They both blushed and smiled.

"Thank you, Dennis."

"Thank you, daddy."

We ate our dinner. It was superb. They ordered cake for dessert. I got coffee. After they finished their cake, Gabriel got a cup of coffee and I got a refill. Marie went to the bathroom.

"Gabriel, I love to see you dressed up. You look so beautiful. But I kind of wish this was the kind of restaurant that had booths instead of tables."

"Why? This is a really nice place. Thank you for bringing me here. I've never been to a fancy restaurant before."

"I'm glad you like it and I'm glad we came. But I miss being in a booth because we can't cuddle and snuggle here at a table."

"That would be nice too. Next time, we'll go to IHOP."

"Maybe Friday when I get back."

"Get back? From where?"

"Oh, I thought you knew! Every year in July, I have to go to training seminars. This year, it's in Houston. I have to be there Tuesday morning. I'm sorry. I thought you knew. It's a chore, but it's required if I want to keep my job."

"No, I didn't know. I understand. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too. I'll be back home Friday afternoon. Last year, I had to miss my birthday because of this."

"When is your birthday? You never told me."

"It's Saturday."

"I won't have a chance to get you anything!"

"Sweety, I have you. I have all I want."

"Dennis, that is so nice. I still can't really believe this is all happening."

"Some of the men bring their wives to these seminars. In three years, I can too!"

"I can't believe just how happy I am. I am so in love with you."

"I can't believe how lucky I am that you love me at all. I don't deserve it."

"Yes, you do, and so much more."

Marie came back and we left to head home. Gabriel snuggled up next to me. I put my arm around her shoulder.

"Daddy?"

"Hummmm?"

"I don't know what to get you for your birthday."

"Don't get me anything. I have everything I want and need now."

"But, I want to get you something. Gabby does too."

"Marie, whatever you and Gabriel come up with will be fine. I meant it about having everything I need."

I squeezed Gabriel's shoulder. She put her hand on my thigh and squeezed.

"Well, I suppose I could get you two a hotel room."

I chuckled. Gabriel sat up and looked at Marie."

"Why would we need a hotel room, Marie?"

Marie looked at her with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Marie!"

"Honey, I think you embarrassed Gabriel."

"Sorry, Gabby. It was just a thought."

We got home. Marie went to her room. Gabriel gave me a kiss then went in after Marie and closed the door. I could hear them talking. I went to my room and laid down to read after I changed into my sweats. The next thing I knew, it was daylight and I was under the cover with the light out.

I got up and made coffee. Gabriel and Marie were still asleep. I spent the day doing nothing. Gabriel cooked dinner. We made plans to go watch the fireworks tomorrow evening. After dinner, Gabriel and I cuddled up on the sofa watching tv. She fell asleep so I picked her up and carried her to her bed and laid her on it. Then I went to bed.

The next day, I cooked steaks on the grill for dinner. After eating, we got cleaned up and headed to the park to watch them. Gabriel said she had never been to a fireworks show. She loved it. When we got home, I went and got everything packed and ready for tomorrow morning. Gabriel sat in my room with me and talked about the fireworks show. She asked a lot of questions about the various colors and how they made them be that color and about the various shapes and types of displays that the fireworks created. She decided to research fireworks while I was gone.

When I was done, we cuddled and kissed for a while, then I told her I was going to bed since I had to get up so early. She went to her room and turned her computer on. I went to bed.

Around midnight, I woke up to Gabriel getting in bed with me.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to cuddle with you and let you hold me tonight since I won't see you until Friday."

She snuggled up to me and I wrapped my arm around her to hold her. She looked up and I kissed her. She was wearing panties and a t-shirt. She laid her leg over mine and her head on my shoulder. Soon, we were both asleep.

I woke up just before the alarm was to go off. Gabriel had her back to me spooning. My hard-on was snuggled in the crack of her ass and my right hand was under her with my hand on her hip. My other hand was holding her tit under her t-shirt. Her nipple was hard, pressed in to my palm. I squeezed her tit then went to move my hand. She reached for it and pulled it back to her tit. I kissed her neck below her ear.

"Mmmmmmm...I like this."

"Me too, sweety. I'm glad you wanted to do this."

"I'll miss you so much."

"I'll miss you but I'll call every night."

"Please do."

The alarm went off. I let go of her tit to shut it off. When I turned back to her, she put my hand back on her tit. I squeezed it and rubbed her nipple.

"Mmmmmmm...you did that most of the night, you know."

"No, I didn't realize it, but I'm happy you approve."

She reached behind her and grabbed my dick and felt of it through my underwear. I moved my other hand to her other tit and started fondling them both.

"Mmmmmmmmmm....that feels soooo good....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

She started moving her ass on my dick. I started rubbing her little, hard nipples between my fingers.

"Mmmmmmmmmm......oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

She moved her hand off my hip and turned to face me. I put my right hand on her lower back and used my left to push her shirt up to her neck. I started squeezing her tit again as she put her hand back on my dick and started rubbing it through my underwear. I leaned down and kissed her nipple. She thrust her chest up so I could lick and suck her whole little tit. I licked her nipple as I sucked her tit. She started moving her hand faster on my dick. I moved my other hand to rub her ass cheeks.

"Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Can I see it, Dennis?"

"Yes, whenever you want. I'm not going to rush you into anything. Just when you are ready to do something, then we'll do it."

I raised up and pushed my underwear down. She raised her head and looked at my dick as she started stroking it again. I ran my finger down the crack of her ass to her vagina. She stiffened up. I moved back to her ass cheeks. I went back to sucking and licking her tit. She started squeezing her legs together, her hand rubbing her clit. Her hips started bucking as she brought herself to an orgasm. I bit down on her nipple lightly.

"Ooooooooohhhhhhh.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....aaaarrrrrrruuuuuuugggggghhhhhhh! I'm cumming! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"I'm about to cum to, sweetheart. Don't stop! Please."

I could hold out no longer. My cum shot up and out and landed on my chest. The second went almost straight up and landed on my stomach because she had raised my dick straight up to see me cum. The rest went up and back down on her hand. When I was done, she tentatively moved her hand to her mouth and stuck her tongue in my cum, tasting it.

"It's salty, but not bad. I'll be right back."

She went into the bathroom and washed herself then brought a warm washcloth to clean me up. She also took her shirt off. I turned the bedside light on. Her tits were absolutely beautiful. She washed me off and took the cloth back to the bathroom. When she came back in, she sat beside me on the bed. I started to go for her tits again, but stopped and looked at her.

"May I?"

"Um hum."

I took both tits and fondled them then pulled her to me and kissed each nipple. She pulled my head to her chest so I sucked her tit into my mouth and licked all around it and across the nipple. Then I switched to the other for the same treatment.

"You really do like my little boobs, don't you?"

"I love them. They are positively perfect."

"Do you mind that we didn't do anything?"

"No, I don't mind because we did do something. We did what you wanted to, what you were comfortable with. What other things we could have done will come in time, when you are ready. I love you. We have the rest of our life to discover each other."

"So you won't just abandon me, throw me aside, when you get what you want? A lot of guys do that to a girl and it hurts them."

"Gabriel, I already have what I want. I have you. What does that ring mean to you? It means the world to me."

"It means everything to me. It means love, a future, hope, happiness."

"It also means a lifetime commitment from me for you. Were it possible, I'd marry you today. That's how serious I am about you. You have given me what no one else ever has, unconditional love. There is nothing greater on earth than that."

"It means that to me, too. I'm just scared of being hurt again. All this is so new to me. I've never felt so loved and cared about before. And I'm scared it will go away because I don't deserve to have it."

"Honey, none of us deserve it. None of us are perfect. It's not that hurt won't come in you life. It will. What matters is what you do with it. You have already been through more than your share of hurt and look what you did with it. You stayed positive and happy. You trust Marie, right?"

"Yes."

"Does she believe I would ever intentionally hurt you?"

"No, she says you never would. That you will treat me like a fragile, porcelain doll."

"She's right. I cherish you and your love above everything else in life. I will take care of you to the very best of my ability. And I fully trust you with my heart."

"Oh, Dennis. I'm sorry I doubted you."

"It's ok, honey. You've been hurt and it will take time to get over it. I'll be here with you and for you the whole time. I am so in love with you, Gabriel."

She had tears in her eyes again. I pulled her close and held her for a few minutes.

"I'm ok now. I love you so much. I'll be here waiting for you to come home."

"I'll call you every night and when I get to the airport Friday, ok?"

"Please do. Now kiss me and go get ready before your late."

"Could I ask you a favor"

"Of course. You want coffee, right?"

"Ok, two favors. One is coffee. The other is..."

I put my hands on her upper back and pulled her tits to my mouth and kissed them, then I kissed Gabriel deeply but tenderly.

"You never have to ask me if you can kiss me. Just do it."

"Ok, but maybe not in public. I'm the only one who gets to see those two."

"Yes, you are, now go. Coffee will be waiting for you."

I went and got a quick shower, then dressed. I went to the kitchen and got my coffee. Gabriel was sitting at the table topless, drinking hers.

"Gabriel, please don't think I love you just for your boobs. But I do love them!"

She giggled.

"I don't think that, but I'm glad you do love them. It's all there is. I thought I'd see if I was comfortable sitting in here like this."

"Like what?"

"Without any clothes on."

I looked under the table. She was naked! I looked back up and she was beet red with embarrassment.

"Oh, Gabriel. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I didn't mean to. I was just surprised."

"It's ok. It was supposed to be a surprise when you kiss me goodbye."

"Well, it was definitely a surprise."

"I think I'll be ok with it when it's just us."

"I guess telling Marie she has to move isn't a good idea."

"No, especially if she knew why."

"Yeah."

I got up. It was time to go. I put my cup in the sink then walked over to Gabriel. Before I could lean down to kiss her, she stood up. I could only stare.

"I don't mean to stare, but you are even more beautiful than I thought was possible."

"It's ok. I want you to see what is yours."

I wrapped my arms around her and she wrapped me up. We hugged and kissed. I let my hand slide over her tight little ass.

"Honey, you have no idea how close I am to not going."

"It's my fault, huh?"

"Yes. You are just too beautiful. And I love you so very much, forever and always."

"I love you too. Call me every chance you get."

"I will, honey."

I kissed her again, then rubbed her tits. Then I got my suitcase and left.

I got to the hotel in Houston with a little time to kill before the first seminar. I called Gabriel just to tell her I loved her. That made her incredibly happy. I called her again before I went to eat dinner and after I got back to the hotel after dinner. Wednesday and Thursday were the same, seminars in-between calls to Gabriel. Friday started off the same, but instead of leaving at lunch to fly back, I got called into a meeting with the head honchos. I was able to text Gabriel to let her know I would be late. By the time it was over with, I had been promoted to Projects Manager. It came with a nice pay raise. I had to go to the obligatory dinner with the bosses, so it was real late before I could call for reservations to fly home. The earliest I could get was at eight in the morning. Gabriel wouldn't be happy. I called her. She was thrilled at the promotion and not to happy about me being here another night. But she did understand. Marie called me later to congratulate me and to inform me that she was going out of town for a week or so next week. They needed to discuss their project problems in person. I went to bed, eager to get home the next morning.

I made the plane with minutes to spare. The flight was uneventful. After a half hour deplaning and waiting for baggage, I was finally on my way to the car. Happily, it fired right up and an hour later, I was pulling into the driveway. I opened the front door.

"Hi honey, I'm home!"

Marie came out and hugged me.

"Where's Gabriel?"

"I don't know."

I went to her door and knocked.

"Hold on a minute, Marie."

"I'm not Marie."

"Oh! Dennis! I'm uuhhhh....mmmmm...not dressed yet."

"And that's a problem?"

"Yeah!"

She opened the door a minute later, blushing deeply.

"I sorry, Dennis. Please don't ask."

"As long as you aren't hiding some other guy in there."

"Huh? What! I would never do anything like that to you! Is that what you think?"

"No, I was just teasing. It's your room and none of my business."

"I'll explain it to you later tonight. You'll understand."

"What I understand is that I'm home waiting for a hug and kiss. That's all."

"I'm so sorry Dennis. I'm just messing everything up."

She looked like she was about to cry.

"Gabriel, come here please."

She stepped over to me. I put my arms around her waist and picked her up and hugged her. Then I kissed her deeply. She melted in my arms and wrapped her arms around my neck, returning my kiss with equal passion. I could smell the aroma of her sex. She had been masturbating again.

"Would you two get a room!"

"No. We're happy here Marie. Aren't we Gabriel."

"Mm hum."

Marie laughed and went to her room, closing the door. I leaned down and picked up Gabriel and carried her to the sofa. I sat down with her in my lap, our lips locked together. Eventually, we broke the kiss.

"So, did you miss me much?"

"You can't tell? Shall we do it again?"

"Gabriel, I could kiss you all day, every day. That's how much I love you and hate being apart from you. When I'm not with you, I truly feel like a major part of me is missing."

"Dennis, I do love you. I love you with all my heart."

"I know. That's how I know I'm the luckiest guy in the world. I won your love. That's the most precious gift you could ever give me."

"I don't want to be apart from you ever again."

"Does that mean what I think it means?"

"Depends on what you think it means."

"Sounds like we will be cooking together, showering together, going to the bathroom together, going to my office together."

I almost couldn't keep a straight face.

"No, you doof! It means we're home together every night, or somewhere together every night."

"Works for me."

I took her face in my hands.

"Gawd, I do love you so. I'm sorry, I shouldn't tease you so much, but it's music to my ears when I hear you laugh."

I leaned in and started kissing her neck and shoulders. Her shirt collar slipped off her shoulder. When I sat back, I saw her tit was uncovered. My eyes got big as I starred. She looked down and saw it then looked at me, smiling.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

"No, but I can see why you would think that."

I pulled her shirt back in place.

"Better?"

"I didn't mind. You've seen it before, remember?"

"How could I forget your little surprise before I left? Just wait until we're married."

"Why?"

"Then I can see them whenever I want to."

"Hmmm. Should I plan on not wearing any clothes then."

"That definitely works for me!"

"Don't hold your breath, big boy."

"That isn't what I was wanting to hold, little one."

I kissed her again.

"I'm going to go change into my comfortable clothes."

"Ok, I need to bake your birthday cake now anyway."

"Oh, yeah. It is my birthday. I almost forgot."

I went to change and Gabriel went to the kitchen. When I came back to the kitchen, Gabriel was just putting the cake in the oven.

"What do you want for your birthday dinner?"

"Since Marie is here, how about pork chops?"

"Fried?"

"Of course."

"If she wasn't here, what would you have wanted? Pizza?"

"No. You."

"Me? Huh? Oh!"

She blushed and I winked at her.

"I'm sorry. I embarrassed you again."

"It's ok. I'm trying to get better at trusting in being loved for me. I know you do and I know how much you care. I promise it will get better."

"I'm not trying to rush you. Everything in its time."

She looked at me with one of her looks I couldn't understand, but with a hint of mischievousness, too.

"Now shoo. Out of the kitchen while your cake is baking."

I went and sat on the sofa and turned the tv on.

"Gabriel, would there happen to be any coffee ready?"

"Yes, I'll bring you a cup."

"Thank you, sweety."

A minute later, she came with two cups and sat beside me. We cuddled.

"This is how life should be, sipping coffee and cuddling with my girl."

"Mmmmm. I love being with you like this. I feel so totally loved and secure."

"You are that. I was wondering. You think the school will let me take you to the homecoming dance or the prom?"

"I don't know. I'm not much on dances anyway."

"I hope you won't let your past home life interfere with you enjoying your high school years now. Please don't think you can't do things with your friends because of me. You need a social life."

"But what if I want to be home for you when you get home?"

"Honey, I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life. I just don't want you to have regrets about missing things because of me. You've already missed some things because of your parents."

"I know. I am feeling better about life since you came into my life. We will see. Ok?"

"Ok. As long as you know you are free to do things if you want to. It's your choice. Just do me one favor."

"Sure. Anything."

"No dating boys."

"Duh! I have you! What do I need a boy for?"

"Nothing. I'm just insecure about losing you."

"Dennis, you're not going to lose me. I wouldn't do that to you."

"I guess we both have some growing to do."

The timer went off for the cake. Gabriel got up and took it out of the oven. Then she came back with the coffee pot and poured us some. She came back and cuddled up again.

"When the cake cools a bit, I'll start dinner."

"Sounds good. I'll take a snack now if I can."

"What would you like?"

"You."

I took her face in my hands and kissed her deeply, with passion. She readily responded. Then I started kissing her neck and ears, nibbling on her ear lobe. She got up and sat in my lap and put an arm around my neck.

"Mmmmmm. Do that again."

I started nibbling on her ear lobe again and kissing her neck. I bit and sucked on her neck, leaving a small hickey. She pulled her shirt off her shoulder and down past her tit. She leaned back and pulled my mouth to her tit. I kissed her nipple and sucked on her tit.

"Mmmmmmmm. That does feel good! Is that the snack you wanted?"

"Yeah, one of the snacks I wanted."

I put my hand under her shirt and fondled her other tit, rubbing her hard little nipple between my fingers.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.....yeah.....feels so good!"

I licked across the tip of her nipple then flicked my tongue over it rapidly. She started moaning and squirming in my lap. I lifted my head to her mouth and kissed her deeply, my hands fondling both tits. Then I pinched both her nipples as I sucked on her tongue. She started rocking in my lap.

"Mmmmm.....mmmmm.....mmmm...ooooohhhhhhhhh...aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!"

She had a quiet little orgasm.

"Oh, Dennis....that was so good. I'll be back."

She got up and went to her room. When she came back in, she was blushing.

"Dennis, I had to change my panties because of that! They got so wet!"

"I'm glad you enjoyed that as much as I did. I truly love your tits!"

"I'm pretty sure they like you too!"

She giggled.

"Well, I guess I need to start on the pork chops. They won't get done if I stay here letting you have your way with me."

"Have my way with you? Not hardly! If I had my way with you, you wouldn't be wearing any clothes."

"Oh, Dennis. Please be patient with me. I know it's frustrating you to wait."

"I'm sorry, Gabriel. I was just teasing you. I meant it when I told you that it was your call, we wouldn't do anything you weren't ready for until you wanted to do it. I'm ok with waiting because I know you love me. I love you. That's all I really need."

"I do love you with everything in me."

"Don't think I'm trying to pressure you. I'm not. I tease you a lot because I love you. I know that sounds weird, but it's because it makes you laugh and I love hearing you laugh. I know you've had a traumatic life for fifteen years and you won't get over it in a few weeks. I know that and I'm here for you if you want my help for any thing at all."

She hugged me and kissed me, then went to the kitchen. I went to the bathroom and blew a load in the toilet. I went back to the sofa and watched some tv. I got up after a bit and went to get some coffee. Gabriel was icing the cake while the pork chops fried.

"Am I allowed in while you're doing that?"

"Of course. I'm just icing the cake, not planning the party."

"Party? What party?"

"Your birthday party for three."

"Oh, I guess that would be ok. I was just seeking coffee."

"In the pot. Fresh made."

"You're an angel, Gabriel. Am I allowed to kiss the chef?"

"It's against the rules. I'm not allowed to kiss anyone but my future husband."

"Well, I won't tell if you won't."

"No, I'm faithful to my promises."

"Your future husband is an incredibly lucky man."

"That's what he keeps telling me."

"Take it from the owner of this establishment, he is."

"Do you still want coffee? Take your seat and I will bring you some."

"Thank you. Taking my seat as directed."

I turned and put both my hands on my ass and took my self to the sofa. Gabriel almost fell out of her chair laughing at me. Hearing that laugh made me so happy. I loved that girl so much.

She brought me a cup of coffee a minute later. As soon as she saw me, she started giggling again. Her eyes were sparkling again.

"Here you are, my love."

"Thank you, sweety."

She went back to her cooking. I sat there watching her move around the kitchen. She seemed so happy. My heart swelled with love and pride in her. She saw me watching her and blushed.

"Why are you watching me?"

"Because I love you so much and because I am so proud of you and because you are so beautiful."

"And you think you're the lucky one here."

Gabriel finished cooking dinner. She called for Marie to come eat, then came and took my hand and led me to my chair. We all sat down to eat.

"I hope you like it, Dennis."

I took a bite of the pork chop. It was done perfectly! I laid it back down on my plate, then pulled the platter of chops to me.

"I don't know what y'all are eating, but these are mine!"

Marie grinned and winked at Gabriel.

"Does that mean you like them?"

"It means that I've never tasted a pork chop this good! It's better than mine and my mom's! You did absolutely perfect, Gabriel. Thank you."

Gabriel smiled ear to ear. Marie took a bite of hers.

"Daddy's right, Gabby. These are awesome!"

"Thank you. I just wanted everything to be perfect for Dennis's birthday."

"It worked, sweety. It really did!"

We ate everything. By the time dinner was over, there were no leftovers. Gabriel brought me a cup of coffee. Then she brought the cake in. Marie brought a gift in. Gabriel lit the candles on the cake.

"Make a wish and blow out the candles."

I made a wish and blew them out. Gabriel cut and served the cake. I took a bite. It was superb.

"Gabriel, this cake is so good! You're gonna put Marie and me out of business in the kitchen."

"Thank you. I don't mind. I love doing for y'all."

"You're going to spoil us and then be stuck with cooking."

"Works for me."

Marie gave me the gift to unwrap. It was a montage of pictures that Marie and Gabriel had picked out and Marie had photo shopped Gabriel in to. It was really nice and well done.

"This is super, girls! Thank you."

"Happy birthday, daddy."

Marie kissed my cheek.

"Happy birthday, Dennis."

Gabriel kissed me deeply. I kissed her back.

"Would you two please get a room!"

Gabriel and I both laughed.

"Well, I have to go get some stuff done so I can be ready for our meeting next week. Gabby told you about that, didn't she?"

"Yeah. Thank you again, Marie."

"Love you, daddy."

"Love you back, Marie."

She left for her room. Gabriel put her arm around my neck and pulled me in to kiss her. We kissed deeply and passionately. She put her other hand on my thigh. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close. When our kiss ended, all I could do was stare into her eyes.

"Gabriel, I love you so very much. This has been the best birthday I've had. Thank you."

"You're welcome, Dennis. I'm just glad it's finally here."

"Why?"

"Because I want it to be perfect for you. I love you like I've never known was possible. You made it possible. Now I can do for you."

"I really think that people will envy us of the life we have together and the love we have for each other when we are finally married.

"I don't care about them. As long as you are happy and satisfied, I will be too."

We kissed again, but the phone interrupted us. Gabriel answered for me.

"It's Anne. I'm going to clean up the kitchen."

"Hi, Anne."

"Happy birthday, dad. Y'all have a party?"

"You know better than that."

"Yeah, but I didn't know if Gabby did anything special."

"She did. She cooked me a meal that was absolutely perfect. It was so good that there were no leftovers. Between that and her cake, I'm stuffed."

"Well, go lay down. I was just calling to tell you happy birthday and that I love you and miss y'all."

"I love you, too, Anne. Thank you."

We hung up. I went to the sofa to sit. Next thing I knew, Gabriel was waking me up.

"Dennis, come on. Get up and go to bed. You still have another present to unwrap in the bedroom."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doze off."

I got up and went to the bathroom. When I came out, Gabriel was standing by the bed in her robe. I sat down beside her.

"What other present?"

She took my hands and put them on the tie of her robe.

"Pull."

I pulled. Her robe came open. She shrugged it off her shoulders and it fell to the floor revealing her naked body to me.

"You unwrapped it. Now it's yours, Dennis. I hope you like it."

"Oh, honey! You are so beautiful! Are you sure this is what you want?"

"I've been sure for a while. That's why I said I was glad that it was finally here. I've been thinking about this, wanting it, imagining what it will be like for a while. It has made me very horny wanting you so much. It just got worse the closer your birthday came. I wasn't sure I'd be able to resist you much longer. That's how badly I want you and have been wanting you. You almost caught me doing myself several times because this has been on my mind so much lately. If you had not knocked, but had come in, I wouldn't have been able to wait any longer. I'm glad you didn't because this is my present to you. The only thing I can give you that no one else can. Me! I give myself to you, now and forever more, with all my love. From now on, we sleep in one bed together."

I stood up and picked her up in my arms and kissed her with such passion and love, feeling the warmth of her smooth skin in my arms. I never wanted this moment to end. I layed her on the bed and laid down beside her wrapping her in my arms, kissing her deeply. She ran her hand down from my shoulder to my ass and back up, feeling my skin for the first time.

I started kissing her neck and ear lobes, then down her chest to her titties. I took one then the other in my mouth and sucked and licked it before lightly biting her nipple. I rubbed her other nipple between my fingers and pinched it.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh....oooooohhhhhhhhhhh.....that feels so good!"

I licked over and around both nipples then blew on them, making them even harder.

"Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

I fondled both her tits and took her nipples between my fingers, rubbing and pinching them softly as I kissed my way down to her navel.

"Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

I flicked my tongue around and in her navel, then I licked and kissed my way down to her mound. She had only wisps of downey soft pubic hair.

"Ooooooohhhhh, Dennis! I think I'm about to cum!"

I kissed her hood then moved it and licked her hard little clit.

"Oooooooohhhhhh.......uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

She bent her knees and spread her legs wide open. I stood up and stripped then crawled in between her legs. I pulled up close to her pussy and spread her lips open so I could lick and kiss and tease her clit. She rolled her hips up and closed her legs on my head as she started her orgasm.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh....oh, Dennis!.....Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

She rocked her hips up and down as I assaulted her clit with my tongue and lips. When her orgasm subsided, I licked down her slit to her vagina and back up to her clit. I poked my finger tip into her vagina. she was so tight, but so hot and wet!

"Mmmmmmm...mmmmmmm....mmmmmmm...mmmmmmm...mmmmmm...mmmmm...mmmm....mmmmmmm!"

"Are you ok, Gabriel?"

"Oh, gawd yes! Don't stop! Please!"

I spread her legs open wider and started fingering her vagina as I kissed the inside of her thigh. I kissed and licked and nibbled down to her knee while fingering in and around her vagina and rubbing her clit with my thumb.

"Oooooohhhhhhhh........mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

I continued down her leg until I got to her toes. I bit and sucked each one of her toes. She started giggling.

"That tickles, but it feels so good, too!

I moved over to her other foot and started on those toes.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....yeah!"

I moved up her leg and over her knee, and up the inside of her thigh. As I neared her pussy, her stomach muscles began to twitch. I licked her from just above her ass hole to her clit slowly, flicking my tongue as I went. I stuck my finger in her vagina again and got my fingertip in her. I stopped at her cherry. I slowly moved my finger in and out of her. I started fondling her tit with my other hand and rubbing her nipple with my palm.

"Oooooohhhhhh.....ooooohhhhhh......oooooohhhhhh.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

I started kissing my way up to her other tit. When I got there, I bit her nipple and licked the tip of it. I started rubbing my dick up and down her slitto get it ready to slid in her.

"Dennis, please! I want you in me now! I can't wait any longer!"

I positioned my dick at her vagina opening and slowly pushed. My crown started to penetrate her virgin pussy.

"Gabriel, tell me if it starts hurting too much."

"I will. I'm ok now. I can feel you in me."

I pulled out and pushed back in a little deeper.

"Oooooohh, it's starting to hurt."

I stopped and waited for her.

"It's ok now."

I pulled out and pushed in deeper, my crown all the way in, pushing her cherry. I pulled out a little and pushed back in several times to help her get used to my being in her the first time.

"Gabriel, it's going to hurt some now. I'm at your hymen. It will sting when it breaks, but afterwards, it should be easier for you."

"That's ok. I know it will hurt some the first time. I'm ready for it."

I pulled out some and pushed back in slowly until I hit her cherry. I paused, then pushed again. Her cherry gave a little. I pulled out some then pushed back in harder. I hit her cherry, then went through it.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooo...nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...it hurts!"

I waited for her again.

"That was your hymen breaking. The hard part is over. Now it's all fun!"

"Hold on just a minute longer."

"Whenever you're ready. You tell me, my love."

I kissed her deeply. She started rolling her hips.

"Ok...love me, Dennis!"

I pulled out to the bottom of my crown then pushed back in to her. I went all the way in until I hit her cervix. She was so tight! I started pumping in and out of her slowly, getting her used to the fit.

"Ohhhhhh, Dennis! I feel you so deep in me!!! It's awesome!!!!"

I started a slow rhythm and she wrapped her legs around my waist and rolled her hips to my rhythm. I started moving faster. She was so tight, I couldn't hold out much more.

"Oooooooooo, Dennis! I'm cumming again!!!!!! Aaaaaarrrrrrrruuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

Her vaginal muscles tightened on me. I couldn't move in her she gripped me so tightly. The spasming of her muscles as she climaxed got me off. I shot spurt after spurt deep into her womb filling her up and spilling out of her.

"I feel you cumming in me!!! Ooooooohhhhhhhh..yeah!!!mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I've never felt anything so intense!"

When our orgasms subsided, I rolled over holding Gabriel in my arms, rolling her on top of me. She lay her head on my chest. I kissed her hair.

"Are you ok, honey?"

"I'm better than ok. I'm in love with you!"

"Thank you for this gift. I'll cherish it in my heart forever."

"As will I. Thank you for turning something I had expected to be ugly and painful into the most beautifully loving experience of my life."

"Are you glad you waited? Was it worth it to you?"

"Yes and no. Yes, I'm glad because I could give you this gift. And no, we wasted a lot of time we could have been making love if we hadn't waited."

"I'm glad we did because this was the greatest gift I've ever received and because we still have the rest of our lives to make love whenever we choose to."

"That's true. I'm glad we did, too."

"Gabriel, will you still marry me?"

"Huh? Of course I will. You're mine forever. Why do you ask?"

"Just making sure you haven't changed you mind."

"Not going to happen! At all! Ever!"

"Just think, when Marie tells us to get a room, we can tell her we already have one now!"

"You think she will be ok with this arrangement?"

"Yep."

"Good."

She fell asleep on me. Some time in the night, my dick popped out of her. We woke up in the same position, but with a puddle under my ass. She smiled when she woke.

"Oh, Dennis, I'm truly yours now. I love you so much!"

"I love you too, and I am yours as well. But I got the better part of that deal!"

"How so?"

"I got you! Now I'm complete!"

I hugged her tightly to me, rubbing my hand slowly around her back, loving the feel of her soft, warm skin against mine.

"I feel so completely safe here, so totally loved. It's like the past never happened. Like it was a bad dream I woke up from."

"This is how the rest of your life will be, Gabriel. Our home is a place of love, with you at the center it."

She started crying again, but with tears of joy.

"Dennis, make love to me again."

I reached down and put my hands on her ass cheeks and gently slid her up my chest and kissed her deeply, with love and passion. I pulled her legs apart with her knees by my side and started to gently rub her vaginal opening. She started gently rocking her hips on me, rubbing her clit on my groin bone.

"Are you ok, my love? Are you hurting any?"

"No, I'm not even sore. I want you in me, all the way in me!"

I started rubbing my finger up the crack of her ass, then down to her clit. I put my finger at the back of her clit and let her rub her clit over it as she rolled her hips faster. I used my other hand to rub her vagina and tease her asshole. I stuck my finger in her vagina. I was hot, wet, and tight. She ground her clit down on to me.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

My dick was hard, laying on her ass cheek. I took it and rubbed my crown up and down her slit and her vaginal opening getting it wet. I positioned it at her opening and Gabriel sat up and impaled herself on it, sinking it deep in her. She leaned forward and put her hands on the mattress by my head as she started riding my dick. All the way down until I was touching her cervix, then up until the crown was ready to pop out, then back down on it. I reached up and fondled her tits and pinched and rubbed her nipples between my fingers.

"Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......mmmmmmmmmmmm.............ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

She started riding faster. She was so tight that I couldn't hold out much longer. Then her muscles started contracting on my dick as she began her orgasm.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!"

I filled her with my cum as she laid down on my chest and ground her clit on my bone again and came hard. Our juices mixed together and ran out of her in a stream! She whimpered as her orgasm subsided and she layed there with my dick still tightly gripped in her. We kissed as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Gabriel, that was the most awesome feeling I've ever had in my life! That was incredible!"

"For me too, Dennis. I never knew love could be like this. I wish I could tell the whole world of our love!"

"I've been thinking that I need to research marriage laws to see if there are any loop holes that would allow me to legally marry you before you're eighteen."

"Do you think there are any?"

"I don't know, but it don't hurt to look and see."

"I can do that for us if you want."

"Ok, you're probably better at using the internet than I am anyway."

"What happens if we find one? What can we do?"

"Get married sooner, that is, if you still want me."

"Still want you? Why would I not still want you? I'd marry you right now if we could! Don't ever even think that again!"

She looked at me all serious, with fire in her eyes. I grinned at her.

"We could start a new trend. Marriage and honeymoon package deal. Four easy steps. Get naked, get in bed, get married, get the honeymoon going!"

She tried to stay serious, but finally cracked up laughing. She sat up, but I pulled her back down and kissed her tits in turn. Each lick of her nipple got me a small muscle spasm from her vagina.

"Dennis, I need to get cleaned up before we do it again."

"Yeah, I suppose we should. I need to find some clean, dry sheets for us to mess up."

She looked behind her and between my legs and saw the huge wet spot and puddle there. She giggled.

"We did make a mess, didn't we?"

"Yep. But we enjoyed every second of doing it, too!"

"Yes, we did!"

She got up off the bed, leaned over and kissed me, then went to the bathroom. I got up and pulled the sheets off the bed and took them to the washer. When she came back in the room, I took her in my arms and held her tight.

"Gabriel, I love you with a depth of love I never thought possible."

"I know I love you just as much, Dennis. I know that this is right for us. We are meant to be together."

"I never want a day to pass that I don't tell you and show you how much I love you and how important you are to me."

"Oh, Dennis! You're going to make me cry again, my heart is so full of love for you."

We kissed deeply and held each other.

"What shall we do today?"

"Whatever your heart desires, honey."

"My heart desires to go back to bed with you, but I am a little sore now."

"I hear that a hot bath helps a lot."

"I am, after I move my stuff in here to our bedroom."

"Want my help?"

"Probably, since I don't know where you would want me to put anything."

"I'll take Anne's stuff back to her room so that will give you closet space. You decide which side of the dresser you want for your other stuff and I'll move my stuff out for you."

"Dennis, I'm not trying to take over your room."

"You're not. Its our room so our stuff goes in here. Simple as that."

"You're sure?"

"Yep, unless you decide to stay dressed like you are now."

"I'm not dressed...uh..oh! You woud really want me naked all the time?"

"No. I sort of prefer you be dressed for school."

"Dennis! I'm trying to be serious."

"I am too, but its very hard because I'm so in love and so happy for the first time in a long time."

"How about if I agree to be naked for you while Marie is gone?"

"I'd love that, but only if you're really ok with it."

"I think I will be. I'll probably get undressed when you get home. I don't know if I'd be comfortable being naked here by myself."

"I'm good with that, my Gabriel."

"Mmmmm, yes. I truly am your Gabriel. Happily and forever yours."

"How much time will you need to get your stuff ready to move in here?"

"None. I got it ready yesterday."

"You're full of surprises. Ok. I'll get Anne's stuff moved while you decide where you want to put the rest."

"Ok. Should I just leave my computer in there?"

"No. I'll move her desk in here right next to mine for you."

"You really don't want me away from you, do you?"

"No more than what is absolutely necessary.

We got her stuff moved in, Anne's stuff moved out, and her side of the dresser ready. Then she went to take a warm bath. A few minutes later, I knocked on the bathroom door.

"Dennis, you don't have to knock."

I went in and stared at her laying in the tub soaking. She looked at me.

"Dennis, you're staring again."

"I know. You really are so beautiful that I can't help it."

"Thank you. I hope you will always have that delusion."

"If its a delusion, I'll take it. Fortunately, I know its a fact."

"Did you need something?"

"Uh huh."

"Besides that, Dennis!"

"Uh huh. I thought of another birthday present I want with you."

"What's that?"

"I'd like to have a picture of you and me that I can put on my desk at work."

"Dennis! That's so sweet. Maybe Marie will take one of us before she leaves."

"I was going to ask her, but I wanted to ask you first."

"Ok. I'd be proud for us to have a spot on your desk."

"It will be in between my pictures of Marie and Anne."

"Dennis, you have no idea how special that makes me feel."

"You are very special, Gabriel. Always and forever to me."

"Think I could get a kiss?"

"Anytime anywhere, my love."

I got on my knees and we kissed deeply, and tenderly. I smiled then left her to soak and went to get coffee and sit at the table. After a while, she came out to the kitchen and got her some coffee. I pulled her to sit in my lap and we kissed and cuddled.

"Would you like some bacon for breakfast?"

"Sounds good. Want me to fix it?"

"No, I do the cooking around here now, remember?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Do you want eggs too?"

"No. I think pancakes would be better this morning."

"Ok. I know how to fix them."

"Ok, my love. I'll just sit here and watch."

"You like watching even though I'm dressed?"

"I can imagine you not dressed."

"Maybe tomorrow morning you won't have to imagine."

"I love you, Gabriel. I can't tell you that enough. I've never known a love as strong as mine is for you."

"Now you know how I feel, Dennis."

"Mmmmmm, yeah! I do know how you feel, and I love feeling you!"

"Dennis! You're being so nasty!"

"No, I'm being completely honest."

She kissed me then went to start breakfast. I watched her, loving her sexy, graceful movements and she cooked. She kept glancing at me, and giggling. When breakfast was done, she looked at me as she fixed our plates.

"Dennis, do you have any idea of how horny you got me knowing that you're looking at me like that and knowing what's going on in your mind?"

"No, but I'm glad. We can definitely handle that after breakfast."

"You got me this way, you better do something about it."

She brought the plates, then turned to get us more coffee. I stood up and took her in my arms and kissed her, deeply. She responded and put her arms around my neck and pulled me to her. I slid my hands down her back and in her shorts. No panties!

"Mmmmmm, I like the no panties look."

"I didn't want to have to keep changing them because you get me so wet!"

I squeezed her ass cheeks as we kissed.

"Please! Get a room!"

We looked at Marie standing there looking at us. I turned red.

"Marie, we have one now."

"Do what?"

"I'm moved into Dennis's room now. You're ok with that, aren't you?"

"Duh! Yes. Its about time y'all got together!"

"Thank you."

"I guess daddy liked his other present."

"Uh huh, but not as much as I did."

"I'm glad it worked out the way you wanted, Gabby. I knew you were struggling to wait."

"It was worth it, Marie. Thank you."

"No, Gabby. Thank you. I can already see the change in daddy. He has the 'I'm in love' look plastered on his face. Its so cute. You've made daddy happier than I've seen him in years."

"Its mutual, Marie."

"Can we eat before it gets cold, please."

They laughed and we sat down to eat. After we ate, Marie agreed to take a picture of us and sent it to my printer, then she went back to her room and I scooped Gabriel up in my arms and carried her to bed. I laid her down on it and pulled her shorts off her as I did. She sat up and took her shirt off as I stripped. I crawled up in between her legs and feasted on her clit and vagina, giving her a big, wet orgasm before I moved up and slid my dick in her. She had another orgasm when she felt me dumping my load deep in her. We laid there in each other's arms, basking in our love for each other.

We dozed off holding each other. After we woke up, we made love again. Later on, we went to the store and I got a special frame for the picture. We looked around at other stuff, then I took her to a jewelry store and we looked at wedding ring sets. When we got back in the car, she snuggled close to me, tears in her eyes.

"Dennis, those rings are so beautiful. I can't wait to be your wife!"

"They are beautiful, but they pale in comparison to you, Gabriel."

"Dennis, you're going to make me cry again. I can't believe how happy I am now that we are together. I look forward to each day with you. I never had these kinds of feelings before."

"And you wonder why I can't tell you enough just how much I love you."

"When we get home, I'm going to research marriage laws for us."

"While you do that, I think I'll get better acquainted with these."

I slipped my hands under her shirt and fondled her tits. She moaned as I rubbed her hard, little nipples.

"If you're going to do that, I may have a hard time focusing on researching for us."

"Ok, I'll stop."

"No, you won't! I'll just have to enjoy both at the same time."

"Oh, my beautiful Gabriel!"

I kissed her then we headed home. As soon as we got inside, Gabriel checked to see if Marie was up. She was. I took her in my arms and we kissed, deeply. I pulled her shirt off and licked her now hard little nipple. She pulled me towards the bedroom. Before we got there, I pulled her pants down then picked her up and she kicked them off her. When we got in the bedroom, I sat on the bed with Gabriel in my lap. My tongue explored her mouth as my hands explored between her legs. She had an orgasm sitting in my lap. I laid her down and licked between her legs until she had another one before I gave her a third one with my dick deep in her, filling her womb with my seed.

We laid together for a while, cuddled up in the bed. She dozed off in my arms and I just held her. I must have dozed off because Marie woke us by throwing Gabiel's clothes on the bed.

"Daddy, you're acting like a kid!"

"I feel like a kid again, Marie. I am so deeply in love with Gabriel that I can't help but be silly sometimes."

"I really am happy for both of you, daddy. I'm glad you two found each other, but, could you keep the clothes in your room and not the hall and kitchen, please."

"Sorry, honey."

"Its ok, daddy. Its kind of cute to see you two together. I hope you don't act like that in public."

"No, we're good in public."

She smiled and left out. Gabriel was looking at me.

"Is Marie mad at us?"

"No, she is very happy for us. She doesn't want to have to walk over our clothes in the hall and kitchen."

Gabriel giggled, then annouced that she needed another bath. She cleaned me up then took her bath. I went on the computer to the jewelry store web site and found the rings we looked at. When she came out of the bath, naked, I showed them to her. She loved them.

"Which one do you like the best? Or should I say, which one do you want to wear forever?"

"I don't know, Dennis. I love three of them. I can't decide."

"Which three?"

She pointed them out and I printed an enlarged picture of each. Then I cut the rings out of the picture and put each on her finger. She looked intently at each one. Finally, she decided which she liked the best. I ordered it in her size. She stared at me.

"Dennis, why did you do that? We still have to wait three more years to get married."

"Yes, but I want everything already done that can be done ahead of time so we can just go get married when its time. All we'll need is the license and place."

"Dennis, you're really in that big of a hurry to marry me?"

"In a word, yes."

"You still haven't actually proposed to me yet."

"I didn't?"

"Uh uh."

"Hmmm, minor over sight. I suppose I should in case you change your mind later on."

"I suppose you should because I'll never change my mind about you and us."

"Gabriel, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife as soon as we can?"

"Yes, Dennis. I'll gladly, happily marry you whenever we can."

We kissed, then she got on her computer to research the marriage laws of this state, and the ones around us. She kept looking at me in between her web pages. Finally, she took my hand and put it on her tit.

"Did you forget that?"

"No, I was trying to be good."

"I don't want you to be good. I want to feel you loving on my boobs."

I fondled her tit slowly, lightly rubbing over and around it and gently squeezing it. Then I licked my finger and rubbed it over the tip of her nipple. She moaned and skipped a few pages. I wrapped my arm around her to repeat the process on her other tit. I started rubbing my other hand up and down her thigh, teasing her clit. Her legs spread wide open and she sat back.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Dennis! I can't believe how horny you get me so fast! I've lost count of the number of orgasms you've given me today already!"

"My privilege to take care of my girl."

I played with one tit, sucked on the other one, and fingered her to another orgasm there in the chair. When she calmed down, she went to get cleaned up then she went back to her research. After several hours of looking, all she found that could help us wouldn't. It would require her parents sign a consent for her to marry at sixteen.

"Well, I guess we will just have to wait. Its only three years. I've waited my entire life for you, I can do three more years with you."

"Yeah. As long as you're here with me, I can wait three more years."

She put her robe on and went to fix dinner. I went and watched her. She smiled at me and wiggled her ass at me. We ate, then Marie went to bed and we sat on the sofa making out. Then we went to bed and made slow, passionate love.

Over the next few months, we got totally comfortable with each other. Anne came home for a few days between semesters. She said that she couldn't believe the changes in both Gabriel and me.

Gabriel was a straight A student in her sophomore year. Her friends and teachers noticed her change in moods. She just told them that she was happy with her life. They didn't pursue it, but were happy for her. At home, Gabriel got used to Marie's odd schedule and got comfortable being nude at home when she knew Marie was sleeping. Our sex life only got better. Gabriel wasn't a nympho, she just loved making love often.

She really loved Christmas. That was another celebration she never had before because of her parent's religion. She loved the tree and decorations, but especially the gift giving and shopping. Anne was home for that and the two of them shopped every day until Christmas Eve. Our tradition was to go out driving around after it got dark to see the lights and displays, then go get hot chocolate before going home. She really enjoyed that, especially the family part of it.

When Gabriel got her final report card after her sophomore year was over, she was thrilled to show it to me when I got home from work. She had straight A's the entire year. We were all so proud of her. She was already cooking dinner. Otherwise, I would have taken her out to dinner to celebrate. She had dinner on simmer to finish cooking, so she came to cuddle up with me on the sofa. I kissed and hugged her. Then there was a knock on the door. She got up to answer it.

"Mom!"

"Hello, Gabriel. May I come in?"

She looked at me. I nodded ok.

"Ok."

Her mom came in and sat in the chair. Gabriel came and sat next to me, very close. I put my arm around her.

"What are you doing here, mom?"

"I wanted to tell you that I filed for divorce from your dad. I'm on my way to mother's house."

"Ok."

"I also wanted to warn you that he found a loophole in the paper he signed. He intends to try to take you back and make you do what he wanted to. I told him that if he tried, I'd divorce him and it would come out in court. He thinks he's fooling me saying he won't do anything. He's waiting until the divorce is final, then he will try it."

"He can't! I won't go!"

"Legally, he can. He can make you since you are a minor."

Gabriel looked at me in fear.

"Dennis! What can we do? I won't go with him anywhere!"

"I'm sorry, Gabriel. I wanted you to know so you can do something to stop him."

"There is one thing we can do, if your mom is willing, honey."

"What?"

"She can sign a consent to marry for you and we can get married on July first."

"You want to marry my daughter?"

"Yes. We are already planning on getting married when she turns eighteen. If you would sign a consent, we could marry when she's sixteen. When is your divorce going to be final?"

"June thirtieth."

"That's good. He won't try anything before the first. If we get married on the first, all her dad can do is be mad. He couldn't legally touch her, and if he tried, he'd have to go through me. That ain't going to happen."

"Gabriel, do you seriously want to marry Dennis?"

"Yes, mom. I do and we are. We already have our rings."

"If you're sure, then I think I'll do that for you to keep you safe from your dad, and really piss him off at the same time. I like that. When can we do this consent?"

"Tomorrow. The consent is good for thirty days. So is the marriage license. We could do both tomorrow then just wait for the first."

"Would you do that mom?"

"Yes. I'll meet you at the city clerk's office tomorrow morning at ten. Is that ok with you two?"

"Yes, mom. It is. Thank you."

"Yes, thanks."

"Ok. Then I'll see you at ten."

She got up to leave. Gabriel walked her to the door.`When she came back, I could see her tears starting to come. I pulled her in my lap and held her tight.

"Gabriel, no matter what happens, you will never leave our home. I won't let that happen. Nothing and no one will take you away from me."

"I love you, Dennis. I'm just scared of my dad."

"Well, tomorrow we will have our marriage license. In less than three weeks, you will be Gabriel Butler, Mrs. Dennis Butler. That is, if you still want that."

"It is, Dennis. With all my heart, I want to be your wife!"

"Then there is something we need to do now."

"What?"

I stood up with Gabriel in my arms and took her to our bedroom and sat her on the bed. Then I went to the dresser and took a box out of the drawer and opened it. I came back to Gabriel and knelt by her.

"Gabriel Turner, will you marry me?"

"Yes, Dennis. What are you doing?"

"Please remove your promise ring."

She looked at me, confusion in her eyes, but she took the ring off. I took her left hand and slid the engagement ring on in its place and kissed it. She looked at it and her eyes got big, then she threw her arms around my neck and we kissed deeply.

"We're really engaged now?"

"We really are. No turning back now."

"No, not a chance of that, Dennis."

"Too bad you not still in school where you could show it off."

"That's ok. When I go back to school, I'll have the wedding ring on with it."

"I love you, my beloved Gabriel."

"I love you too, my husband to be."

I stood up and Gabriel stood on the bed and literally jumped in my arms. Her arms and legs went around me as we kissed. Then she yelled.

"Yes! Take that, dad!"

Anne and Marie came to see what all the noise was about. They saw us and laughed.

"I guess dad and Gabby are happy about something."

"You don't think she's pregnant, do you, Anne?"

"I hope not. Its too soon."

We looked at them, smiling.

"Dinner is ready. Go sit and lets eat."

We went to the kitchen and I stood Gabriel up. Anne and Marie sat at the table. I joined them and Gabriel brought the food in. Anne was looking at me with questions on her mind. Marie saw Gabriel's ring.

"Gabby, is that an engagement ring you have on now?"

"Uh huh. Dennis and I are officially engaged."

"Really? Awesome! Dad, why now?"

Gabriel told them what happened with her mom and our solution to the problem. Both my girls were thrilled that we would be married so soon.

"Gabby, I have a question for you."

"What, Anne?"

"Are we supposed to start calling you mommy?"

"Don't you think that would be a little weird?"

"Yeah, but I kind of like it."

"I do too, Gabby...uh...mom."

Gabriel looked at them and turned red. I just smiled at her.

"No offence, but I wish you wouldn't."

"Ok. Gabby it is."

We ate our dinner. Midway through, Gabby looked at me.

"Dennis, what do I do if my dad shows up while you're at work?"

"Don't answer the door and call me. I'll come running."

"Dad, why don't you just take Gabby to work with you? You have your own office now. She could stay in there with you."

"That's an idea, Anne. Gabriel, what do you think? Would you be ok going to work with me?"

"Yes. I think I like that idea better. I know I'm safe with you."

"But Gabby, you know you and daddy can't be fooling around in his office like you do here."

"Marie!"

They giggled at her. She turned red again.

"Honey, they are teasing you, so I know they are happy for you. Besides, its my office. I can close the door and we can fool around all you want."

"Dennis! You too?"

"Only because I love you so much."

Gabriel got a twinkle in her eyes and looked at Marie.

"Marie, do you think that Dennis and I can borrow your sleeping bag to take to his office?"

"Really, Gabby? In daddy's office? In my sleeping bag?"

"Uh huh."

"Sounds good to me too, Marie."

"Daddy! Are you serious?"

"Uh huh."

"Ok. I bet y'all will have fun doing it there."

We finished dinner. Marie and Anne went back to their rooms. I watched Gabriel as she cleaned up the kitchen, then we went to bed and cuddled. I held her all night long.

The next day, we met her mom at the clerk's office. She was true to her word and filled out the parental consent form, then Gabriel and I applied for the marriage license. We got it, then went to my office. Her mom left town.

Gabriel went with me to work every day, and stayed right by my side when we were home. I put in for two weeks vacation for the first two weeks of July. The next twenty odd days passed by in a blur. Gabriel got a text from her mom telling her that the divorce was now final and she wished Gabriel a happy marriage and a long one. She was on pins and needles all day long because the next day, we would be married legally.

We got up Thursday morning and got cleaned up and dressed after our morning coffee. We hadn't made love for a couple of days, at Gabriel's request. She wanted our first night together as a married couple to be as exciting as possible. I loved her enough to do as she wanted.

Anne and Marie were as excited about today as Gabriel was. Anne had taken a few days off work so she could be here for it. When they were ready, we headed for the Justice of the Peace's office and chapel. He was expecting us this morning. We got there and went inside. Gabriel signed where she needed to, then the three of them went to help her change into her dress. I signed and paid for everything, then sat and waited for them.

Twenty minutes later, Anne came and told us that Gabriel was ready. She signed as a witness then stood by me at the altar. Marie came in and signed as the other witness, then the three of us waited for Gabriel to come in. She did as soon as the music started. I looked at her as she walked the aisle. She was stunningly beautiful in the dress she had picked out and Anne had done a great job fixing her hair and fixing her veil.

She walked up and I took her hand. Her eyes were sparkling and I had what I guess was a really stupid looking grin on my face. The JP performed the ceremony and we recited our vows, exchanged rings, then were pronounced husband and wife. We kissed deeply, then hugged Marie and Anne, thanked the JP, and left to go out to eat lunch. Gabriel was cuddled up close to me as I drove, her head laying on my shoulder. I kissed her head.

"Happy birthday, Mrs. Butler. I love you."

"Mmmmmmmm, Mrs. Butler. I love the sound of that, Mr. Butler. I love you more."

"You two mind to not get too mushy up there. You could wait for the honeymoon to start to do that."

"Sorry girls, but the honeymoon already started."

"Oh no! Are we going to have to see that all through lunch?"

"Its ok, Marie. Remember that they are newlyweds and in love, and probably horny as hell."

"Anne!"

"What? Its true, isn't it?"

"Yes, but you don't have to put it like that!"

"Ok. Sorry, mom!"

"Anne!"

They giggled at her.

"Pay them no mind, Gabriel. They love you, but they show it in weird ways."

"Good thing I love them too."

"Think of it this way. You're now their step-mom so you can send them to their room or put them in time out or whatever if they misbehave."

She looked up at me, then cracked up laughing.

"Yeah, I guess that's true."

We got to the restaurant and went in. We got a lot of looks and stares as we went in and ate. Especially since we kissed and held hands when we weren't eating. Marie told the waitress to ignore us since we were newlyweds. She gave us a surprise cake for dessert, on the house. After lunch, we headed home. Both my girls smiled at us when I carried my bride over the threshold of our home.

"Well, Anne. We probably won't see them again until tomorrow."

"Probably not. I hope dad moves the bed away from the wall."

They laughed and Gabriel turned red, but grinned at them. I took Gabriel to bed and closed our door. We made love three times that afternoon and night, getting out of bed only for bathroom needs.

The next morning, Gabriel woke me up licking and kissing my dick. I reached down and rubbed her ass, then around to and up her slit. I rubbed the top of her clit with my finger and stuck my thumb in her vagina. I was amazed at how hot and wet she was already.

"Mmmmmmmm, I love it when you wake up as horny as me, my beautiful, naked little wife."

"Mmmmmm, your wife! I love that. We really are one family now!"

"Um hmm, forever."

"I love you so much, Dennis."

"I love you. Come up here and kiss me, please."

She turned and laid by my side and planted her lips on mine. We kissed deeply with intense passion. After our kiss, I had her lay on her stomach and pull her legs together. I got on top of her and put my legs outside of hers, then slid my dick in her vagina from behind. She immediately loved it like that and we made love again. She had a really big and wet orgasm that mixed with mine and over-flowed her vagina and leaked out down over her clit and dripped on the bed off her slit. She squirmed and told me it was tickling her. I rolled off her and she went to get cleaned up. When she came out, she sat by me and took my dick in her mouth and licked me clean. When she finished, she looked at me.

"I like how we taste together, Dennis."

"I do too, my love."

"I'm hungry. Want some breakfast?"

"Mm hmm. We missed dinner last night."

"Its ok. We were too busy to stop and eat."

She got up and put her robe on. I slipped my shorts on and we went to the kitchen. Gabriel took out the bacon and eggs and started cooking them. I came up behind her and put my hands inside her robe and on her tits. She leaned back against me as I fondled her, her robe falling open, just barely hanging on her shoulders. I kissed her neck, pushing it further down as I did. She made me stop when we heard one of the girls coming out of their room.

"Mmmmmmm, I love the smell of bacon in the morning."

"Morning, Anne."

"I see you two survived your honeymoon."

Gabriel hugged Anne.

"Thank you for letting me be part of the family, Anne."

"I'm glad you are, Gabby. Thank you for making dad so happy. Y'all are really perfect for each other."

"Thank you. I know we are. I've never known so much love before."

"Marie and I are really happy for you both."

They hugged again, then Gabriel went back to cooking. Marie joined us a few minutes later. We ate and enjoyed some family time. After we ate, Gabriel went to get a bath and dressed. When she finished, I did the same. I had just come out and poured me a cup of coffee when there was a knock on the door. Anne answered it.

"What do you want?"

"I've come for my daughter."

"Dad! You need to handle this bozo."

I came to the door. It was Gabriel's dad. Gabriel came up behind me.

"Get off my property, and don't ever come back here."

"I want my daughter, Butler!"

"She's not your daughter and she doesn't want you, now get!"

"Dad, leave me alone! I hate you!"

"Gabriel, you are my daughter and you will come with me this instant!"

"No, I'm not your daughter! I'm Dennis's wife! You have no claim on me anymore."

"Wife? You can't be married to him! You're not old enough!"

"Well, I am, so you can go away and never come back!"

"I don't believe you! Now get your stuff and come on!"

"Turner, what part of she's not going with you don't you understand?"

"Stay out of this, Butler. Its none of you business."

"It is my business when you start harrassing my wife. Now you either leave on your own or you leave in an ambulance. Your choice, and I hope you choose the ambulance so I can beat you for everything you did to Gabriel."

I moved Anne out of the way and got up in his face and pushed him off my porch. He started to come back, but stopped.

"She ain't your wife! She can't be!"

"Well, she is. Your ex-wife signed the parental consent and we are married whether you like it or not. Now get off my property! Stay away from my family."

Gabriel held up her left hand.

"Look at my wedding rings, dad! I'm married! Want to see the license, too?"

"Why did you do this to me, Gabriel?"

"Because Dennis genuinely loves me for me. You only want me for sex because your religion says you can. Well, its your religion, not mine. I hate you and I never want to see you again! Go away and leave me alone!"

Gabriel turned and went back inside. He looked at me with hate in his eyes.

"You'll pay for this, Butler!"

"Bring it on, dumb ass. You're entitled to make one last mistake before I kill you."

He looked at me, then turned and left. I closed the door and went to Gabriel. She was crying. I held her close until she was over it.

"He won't be back, honey. Its over with."

"I hope so, Dennis. At least he can't hurt me now, only make me mad."

"Want me to make you happy again?"

She looked at me, then a grin spread across her face.

"Uh huh."

I took her to bed, stripped her, then made very slow, very passionate oral and physical love to her. She had four orgasms before I was finished loving on her this time. She slept in my arms for a while afterwards.

*********************

We never heard from either of her parents again. Gabriel made a stir at school when we registered her as a married student who wasn't pregnant. Her classmates saw her wedding rings and wanted to know all about it. That fall, Marie moved in with her friends because the three of them got hired on as game designers/programmers by an international company.

I started coming home to a barefoot, naked wife in the kitchen now that it was just the two of us. She stayed a straight A student in her junior year of high school. For her seventeenth birthday, I took her to the Virgin Islands for a week's vacation.

Halfway through her senior year of high school, she got pregnant. She decided to be a full-time mother instead of going to college. We had a daughter. Within four more years, we had two more daughters.

We lived out the rest of our lives in the blissful happiness of a deep, undying love for each other. Our girls grew up in a house full of love.
