Chapter 2

"This is it. I don't have much. Daddy would never buy many clothes so I have never had much of anything. What we purchased last night are the most new things I have received in years."

My heart goes out to Leeza. If I had such a wonderful daughter; her life would be as full as I could make it. When my wife and children were living at home, they were my life. All the fruits of my labor went to making sure they were comfortable and wanted for very little. Holding my arms open Leeza snuggles to me sobbing. My hands are running up and down her torso.

"This will be the start of a new phase in your life."

Holding her tight, I softly kissed the top of her head. The trembling in her body diminishes. The sooner that permanent guardian ship is awarded the better it will be, better still is the adoption. She will be protected for the rest of my life.

"Do you want to see your room?"

That comment brings a sparkle to her eyes. Her face is radiant, even with the traces of the bruising, her makeup has been disturbed. The pool water rearranged some of it. Leeza still looks like an angel, in spite of the changes. This is the happiest she has been tonight.

"Oh, Yes."

"Well, there are three unused bedrooms. You can have your pick."

The house has been professionally decorated and furnished. Rather than leave the money in the bank I poured some into the house and contents. The spare rooms have never been used. Not having any guests, but that will change tonight.

Leeza is like a kid in toy land. She runs from room to room then repeating the adventure about four times.

"I'll take that one Don."

"As long as you are happy, it is yours."

Leeza squeals with delight. Downstairs retrieving her items then entering her bedroom looking like a beast of burden, she runs to me.

"I feel better now having made the decision."

"You have no idea how happy I am that you chose to move in. You are going to give real purpose in my life once again."

"All these changes make me feel safe, but now I need a bath then I want to model the other Speedo suits for you."

"You really don't have to tonight, we can watch television. You have had a lot to accept in such a short time."

"Don. I have never felt so happy and sad at the same time."

"Ok, enjoy yourself. Tomorrow we will go back to the mall for additional items we may have forgotten."

"You have done so much for me already."

"I enjoy doing things for you. We will get you some more new clothing and lingerie. You can also get some bubble bath and whatever you require."

Downstairs making coffee, I can hear the water running. I would love to bath Leeza; my mind is wandering again. The last thing Leeza needs is an old leach pawing her. I feel ashamed of myself, but only just a little bit. It is nearly an hour later before Leeza presents herself.

"Here I come."

Leeza descends the staircase. She is wearing one of the new Speedo's. The suit hugs her body accenting her breasts with bold strips. The same strips narrow as they point to her crotch. The effect is very erotic. Leeza nipples are hard. They seem oversized for her breasts. Leeza's pubes are outlined by the tight suit. She wasn't short changed in that department. Leeza has re-applied new make-up. I am tingling all over.

"You look overwhelming, that suit brings out your complexion."

"So glad you like it Don, I can model another one for you."

"One a night is fine; you don't want me to have a heart attack. Tomorrow you will have more to model after our trip to the mall. Why don't you sit down beside me or would you rather go for a swim?"

"We can sit. I can swim tomorrow before you come home."

Leeza approaches but instead of just sitting she is on her knees and lies across my body facing me. Her breasts snug in the Speedo push against me, her arms around my neck her lips on mine.

"Thank you, Don or should I call you daddy."

The effect of her kiss, her scent and just feeling her against me has my Woody extending his interest into her soft tummy. She has to be aware of it.

"Call me daddy."

The kiss seems to last forever her arms squeezing me close. I am powerless to restrict my cock from embarrassing me, Leeza doesn't seem to mind.

"Daddy, I am so tired. Today has been very stressful for me, I am so grateful for what you and your friends have done. You are the best thing that has happened to me."

"Good night, Leeza. There is an alarm clock on the bedside table. I will be gone when you get up. There is an extra key for the front door on the telephone table, make sure you lock the doors when you leave and again when you come home. Don't answer the door for anyone. I will be home as early as possible so we can go shopping after dinner."

"Night Daddy."

Watching Leeza move is a vision the Speedo has ridden into the crack of her bum cheeks. My eyes are glued to her crease until she disappears upstairs. What wonders are hidden beneath that narrow expanse of cloth? My erection hasn't been this insistent for years.

It is difficult keeping my train of thought at work, her face and her body flashes into my mind every time there is a lull. She is safe in the house but my concern is her father may return and look for her. He may assume Leeza is visiting me and that possibility has me worried. My lawyers have assured me everything is tracking as planned. One good note, my guardianship of Leeza was formally approved today.

The next two days are repeats. We go shopping. Leeza can't believe the amount of money that we spend on new clothing and accessories including costume jewelry, several matching outfits of fine lingerie, plus four pairs of new shoes in the latest styles. Arriving home each night Leeza is beside herself. Her closets are filling up.

When Leeza is clad in the trendy fashions and with fresh make-up she is a living wet dream. Her complexion complements all her outfits. I am so proud of her. My hidden desire of her continually intensifies. Wisely keeping my distance, accepting what is offered; not asking or suggesting anything else. This time is for her. In time perhaps she will realize how much I love her. It is a joy coming home after a heavy work day. Leeza is the greatest thing that has happened to me.

Arriving home early on Thursday night it is obvious Leeza is upset.

"My dad is home. He pounded on the door a couple of times but I never left the bedroom. He has been drinking."

"You stay upstairs. I will call the sheriff and my lawyer. We might as well get this over with."

After calling I sit down and wait. It isn't long before a police cruiser pulls into the driveway. Two officers stay in the cruiser waiting for the lawyer. Moments later he arrives. The three of them approach the front door. The door opens and all go inside. Now the wait, every minute seems like an hour. Then the door opens and they leave. The telephone rings scaring the shit out of me. It is my lawyer.

"Well, it is all done. Her dad signed a release and accepted the restraining order."

"What release?"

"He signed the release stating he will not dispute any guardianship or adoption proceedings for Leeza. When we left he was packing. He is moving to be closer to his job so you should see a for-rent sign on the house shortly."

"Why would he sign anything?"

"Well we had papers drawn up to charge him with assault. I used that as a lever. He called Leeza a slut and said anything that happens to her is what she deserves. He ranted on and on telling us how wonderful a father he has been and Leeza is an ungrateful bitch and he's glad to see the last of her. The sheriff's officers witnessed all the documents so they will stand up in any court. You can tell your ward that all is done."

"Thank you so much. I don't know how to repay you."

"Hey, we are repaying a little of what we owe you. Your suggestions saved my firm more than eighty-five thousand dollars in the last six months. This is just a small repayment. I will have my staff follow this through to make sure you get all the documents awarding you full guardianship of Leeza until she is of legal age. We will also pursue the adoption. However, that will take time."

"Thank you. I know Leeza will be pleased."

After hanging up I feel wonderful. Everything is finally falling into place. Leeza is now my legal ward, soon to be my legal daughter.

"Leeza; please come down there is good news."

Appearing she is dressed in one of her new outfits, very short shorts and a tube top. Unable to control myself; I just stare my mouth open, mentally undressing this creature in my mind. My thoughts at the moment are not as a daddy but that of a dirty old man.

"What happened?"

"Well, your dad was served. He made a little fuss but when he saw he was going to be charged with assault he cooled down."

"He accepted the restraining order. He also signed a release that he would not protest any motion for your guardianship. Mind you it is after the fact but it is good to know we will have no legal challenges. It couldn't have ended better; he will be out of your life for good."

"Oh Daddy, I am going to cry. This last week has been a whirlwind of change for me. Just look at me. I'm a woman. These clothes make me feel so good. I am so happy you are going to be my new Daddy."

"Another thing your dad is moving away. He was packing his belongings when the police and lawyer left. He didn't even ask where you were. He is a real gem."

Both of us hear a car door slam. Then a car starts and leaves with tires squealing. Leeza and I watch it drive out of sight.

"Well Leeza, this is really the first day of the rest of your life, the best part is I know you will make a big difference in mine. I never realized how lonely I was until I met you. I will be proud to call you my daughter."

"Oh Daddy."

Leeza is in my arms kissing me, tears of happiness flowing. Her tongue finds my mine. Again she is moving her body against my raging erection. My hands are on her soft bum kneading her cheeks. We break both breathing heavily, looking at each other.

"A cold shower is in order. It is bed time for you."

Again she is in my arms hugging me tight.

"A large weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I will be the best daughter any daddy could have."

Before she leaves she leans over and gives me a father daughter kiss leaving me gasping for air. Heading for the kitchen, I need a small drink. Pouring myself a glass of wine and walking to the patio, I consider the events of the day; there is a lot to think about.

The next month develops our routine, leaving the house early while Leeza is still sleeping. In the evening arriving home regardless of the hour, Leeza is waiting. The welcome kiss is that of lovers. Her body is so vibrant, continuing her habit of rubbing her body against my lower extremities. She knows exactly what she is doing and enjoys taunting me; I have to admit it feels great. Treating her like a daughter at all the times; never suggesting or even attempting anything more. My deprived thoughts are my own.

Although Leeza looks great in the Speedo, she looks devastating in a bikini. One evening we return to the mall. At Victoria's Secret I suggest she look for a bikini for use at home. Actually I suggest two; one that contrasts with her skin colour and the other light beige that would accent her skin tone.

"Get some fancy bras and thongs as well."

Leeza just looks at me with her arresting smile, shakes her head in mock disgust and disappears into the store. Sitting on the bench waiting is not a hardship as many varieties of humanity walk by. Mind you there are a large number of young females but none compare to Leeza's beauty in my eyes. Right in the middle of imagining Leeza's shapely body in a bikini; I hear.

"Daddy, the lady wants to see you."

My duty as a new daddy is to pay not that I mind. The look on the clerks face when she sees Leeza's daddy is priceless, but she accepts my card without a comment. Seeing Leeza in one of the sexy outfits will certainly make my day. After paying Leeza stacks the purchases in my arms and we head home.

"Daddy, I want to show you the bikinis I bought."

"Did you get two?"

"Actually three, two are the colors you suggested and then a light blue one."

"That is fine with me. Do you get some lingerie?"

"Yes Daddy, wait till you see the matching sets. I have never had so many pairs of under things in my life. And these are so soft I know they will feel great against my skin."

Leeza reaches to the back seat of the van and brings a bag forward.

"Wait till you see me in this daddy."

There is hardly anything to see, I have seen more material in a handkerchief. There is that tingle again. Seeing Leeza in that bikini will be worth all we spent today. Unfortunately, when we arrive home it is too late. There is another grueling day tomorrow besides Leeza has school.

"You can show this tired old man your new suit tomorrow. I think the shock will put me in a trance."

Every evening Leeza tells me about her day in school. She is doing well. Her marks are all in the mid eighties. With the right equipment she is now a permanent member of the swim team. Her coach is encouraging her to do more; stating with her talent she has great promise. He is hopeful that with her training schedule she can possibly compete in the state completions for a chance to challenge for the Olympic swim team.

"Leeza, I'm so proud of you."

"I'm so happy with the changes in my life Daddy. I never realized how wonderful things could be until you came into my life. Daddy, I love you so much."

"And I love you, Leeza."

Again we are hugging; our lips locked. My body is trembling with excitement. We hold each other tight. Leeza's perfume and shampoo fills my nostrils. These feelings should never end. We finally break the embrace.

"Well, I think it is time for dinner. What would you like tonight?"

"You daddy, I want to show you how much."

Looking at her dumbfounded, she is sincere her face radiates warmth and love. Her arms slide around my neck again pulling me toward her body. Leeza kisses me and I return them. Her hands are gently caressing the back of my head. My hands, with a mind of their own, run up and down her back then knead her soft bum. My fingers feel the outline of her lingerie. She is wearing a thong. My heart is pounding.

"Time out."

Breaking our hug pushing away, I am panting from excitement.

"Leeza we have to stop. Things can get out of hand. Let's go to the kitchen and make dinner."

"But daddy I want you."

"You have me for as long as you want me."

"Daddy, you have no idea how I feel right now, look how my body is trembling. I tingle all over. When we are this close, I can't describe the feelings for you."

"I feel the same way. That is why we are going to make dinner right now."

Once in the kitchen; the feeling of excitement slowly drains from my body. That was too close for comfort. As much as I want to have her it can't be the result of Leeza thinking she owes me something. Her reason for this affection has to be from the heart.

I still haven't seen all the bikinis. The only time we have together recently has been during our meals. Leeza has swimming practice every night. With the swimming competition next week her coach had the full team practicing in the morning and the evening.

"What would you like to do on the weekend?"

"Could we stay home? I want to show off my new clothes."

"Tomorrow after work we can go and get supplies for the weekend some steaks and all the trimmings. Did I tell you I got a call from the lawyers this morning?"

"No. Daddy you didn't. What did they want?"

"In ninety days you will be my daughter. The lawyers had your dad sign all the waivers and claims when they confronted him."

"Oh daddy I love you."

Leeza is in my arms. Hugging her tightly, we kiss and kiss again, her lips feel so soft. There are no words to tell the world how proud I will be to become her dad. Leeza will be my reason for living. Running my hands over her back enjoying the warmth of her skin while she rotates her body against my erection. Then she starts moving her pubic region against me.

"Daddy, I want you so much."

"Want me?"

"Yes. I want you like a girl wants a man, like a wife. You told me you haven't had a lady friend in years. I want to be the woman in your love life. I am old enough."

"You are the only woman in my life. Maybe we should call it a night."

Shit another close call, as my feeling for Leeza gets stronger, it won't take much to push me over the edge. Leeza is now the daughter I have never had and admittedly she would be a perfect lover but not as payment for being what a dad should be, there is a need to be very carefully and control my urges. All through the night my thoughts are about Leeza, her innocent beauty, her tasty lips. Every time my eyes close, her smiling face fills my mental screen and her words continue to haunt me. My gut feeling tells me irregardless how much the urge is suppressed something is going to happen.

Friday is a day from hell. Everything that could go wrong does. The only thing that helps me keep my sanity is the knowledge of my weekend with Leeza. During my only coffee break for the day I make a list of things we will need for the total weekend. It is amazing to believe that Leeza has only been a part of my life for such a short time, but her presence fills a large void in my life, giving me a reason to come home. Finally the day ends, dragging my ass out of the office; it is six thirty when my tired body crosses the threshold. Leeza greets me like I have been gone for a month.

"Oh daddy I'm glad you are home, my homework is done, we are going to have a great weekend together."
