Chapter 2

Returning home after demob was an unusual experience for our Dan which began when encountering his wife’s indifference upon his arrival.

After so many years he was now excited at the prospect of sharing a bed with his wife and before his arrival had found a barber-shop; getting himself all tickity-boo and sweet-smelling before making the final leg to Margot’s new home on the edge of town.

But Margot had greeted him cautiously; lightly embracing him in the hallway of her neat little home.

Dan saw that Margot had matured into a very smart looking woman with a figure that would still turn men’s heads and for a few seconds he felt the thrill you’d expect for a returning war hero.

“Its just great to be back Margot; ... you look ... just wonderful.” Dan embraced her warmly; planting his lips on hers, delivering a full lengthy kiss and her full breast felt so good against his chest. This is what he wanted, the warmth of a woman!

But although Margot was still slim and shapely, her actual response to his embrace was frosty, and stiff! Any romantic notions Dan had held over their reunion had been dismissed.

In fact, Margot pulled away from him and turned his attention to the tall slim girl standing behind her,

“And this is Janet; your daughter Dan; you’ll want to greet her too, before you go any further.”

Dan felt flummoxed! For over the years he’d not given the child he’d left behind, much thought!

Suddenly, he felt guilty, although he was unsure why?

Was it to do with why Margot was distant and not being nice to him?

But here before him stood a slender little beauty. Rich brown hair framed her freckled face and sparkling dark brown eyes gazed into his. She was his daughter! He could barely believe it!

Janet had grown; her beautiful head nearly reached her mother’s shoulder! Dan also noticed she’d outgrown the school-dress she wore; her budding nipples thrusting at the bodice!

Janet’s mother tugged the girl forward, “Give your dad a welcome kiss Janet and show him into the parlour,” she’d said leaving the pair while going off to busy herself with things.

For a moment they had stared at each other, then Janet had stepped forward. Dan’s hands held her shoulders, then pulled her body onto his. Suddenly her lips fell warm and eagerly onto his; and Dan felt her slender frame tremble against his and her hair smelt devine! Dan’s testicles vaulted and without realising it, his hands were tracing a path of discovery over the girl’s hips and buttocks!

Margot had then called out, “ Bring your Dad into the parlour and make him comfortable Janet!”

The pair abruptly parted. “Yes Mam” called back Janet.

Dan found it strange to be called Dad. It added to his confusion and made him feel awkward; being home was going to be nothing like he’d sometimes imagined. But the truth was he’d long felt apprehensive over the idea of picking up where he and Margo had been before. Their marriage had been a shotgun affair in a way; and when he’d got enlisted, it was almost a relief.
