Chapter 29

At first I had trouble with my boner as I quickly walked. I had to furtively hold it in place, as it seemed on the verge of popping free of my shorts with every step I took.

I didn’t help that I soon found myself almost directly behind Nicky, wearing nothing but her scanty bikini bottoms. But after I glanced at the sight of Nicky’s nearly bare ass cheeks undulating up and down in front of me, I quickly turned my head, and thought, Oh no! I’m not going to go there. I need to focus my mental energies on worrying about her state of mind. I’ve screwed up getting carried away with those kisses, and it’s time I make things right. I’m a father, first and foremost.

Thanks to that attitude, by the time I made it to the deck area my penis had gone half-hard and I was able to keep my hands at my sides. I doubted I could make it go completely flaccid in Nicky’s presence, but at least the obvious lewd bulge in my shorts was gone. Phew!

Nicky had been walking slowly and I was walking quickly, so as soon as she reached the railing that looked out over the ocean, she sensed my presence and turned around. She frowned and grumbled, “Oh, it’s you. I should have known.” She quickly covered up her bare breasts, pressing them tightly with both arms.

That hurt! Nicky was such a loving and kind-hearted person that that was almost the equivalent to getting cussed out by most anyone else. It showed how much I’d hurt her.

I considered simply walking the last couple of steps to her and wrapping her in a big hug, but I thought better of it. I didn’t want her to have even the slightest feeling that I was trying to get fresh with her. So I just walked up to a spot against the railing right next to her, and turned to her. “I’m sorry, Muffin, I really am.”

She griped, “Do you even know what you’re sorry about?”

“Of course I do! The good-bye kisses got a little out of hand, and a big part of that was my fault. I really thought I’d just say good-bye with a hug and a peck on the cheek, but then they lined up and took it so seriously. I didn’t know what to do! And then with you and my other daughters standing at the side, watching the whole thing ... It was weird. It was like some kind of ceremony. I didn’t know how it got started like that, and I didn’t know how to end it. I’m really sorry!” I dropped my head with sincere regret.

She sighed heavily. “That’s okay. It’s not your fault. Not really. I could see how you got swept along with it. You never seem to be the instigator. Even now, I don’t think you realize just how hot they are for you. I’m not upset with you so much as the whole situation. I mean, do you know how weird it is to see your friends make out with your DAD?! Especially when you know your mom is in the house?! And that if she saw she probably wouldn’t mind?! It’s weird! It’s really, really weird!”

I nodded. “I can kind of imagine, though I’m sure that’s not the same as being in your shoes. But if that’s the case, why were you standing there with a front row view of the whole thing? You could have been literally anywhere else. And for that matter, why were Michelle and Ruby standing there too?”

Perhaps without realizing it, Nicky uncovered her big breasts to make hand gestures to accentuate her words. “I THOUGHT it was going to go just like you did. You know, some small talk, some hugs, and being polite and walking our guests out of the house. I didn’t know it was going to turn into THAT! But I should have known. I mean, everything has just been crazy sexy since I’ve gotten here, it seems. Er, crazy sexual, I mean. I could handle this latest incident if it was the only thing, but it’s just the latest in a bizarre train of events going on right in front of me ever since I returned. I feel like I’ve reached the point of mental overload!”

I also gesticulated quite a bit to show how worked up I was about this. “You’re telling me! I’m going through the exact same thing, except in my case this has been going on for weeks, not just the past day or two. Ever since things started to develop with Cindy, things have been getting weird. And I don’t feel like I have any control over events. You saw me out there. Did I look like I masterminded all that, or like I was blindsided?”

Nicky fidgeted and picked at the railing before reluctantly admitting, “Blindsided, is what it looked like to me. Definitely. I could see you trying to get things under control, at least after you initially lost your willpower with Anjali, but they kept getting aggressive just the same.”

I nodded. “And think about what else you’ve seen since you’ve gotten back. Haven’t I looked blindsided a lot? The fact is, your mother is on some kind of weird new kick that I don’t understand. Looking back on it, I can see she really masterminded events between Cindy and me. Both of us were blindsided. Of course, we’re very happy with the outcome, but it wouldn’t have happened in a million years without Mindy making it happen. And since then, it seems everything has been sexually supercharged. Just the mere act of me kissing my wife is liable to spin out of control into total ecstasy these days, especially if Cindy is there watching, which she usually is lately.”

Nicky just stood there looking disappointed. She didn’t make any attempt to cover up her enormous bare breasts, even though she couldn’t fail to notice that I wound up staring at them a fair amount (against my will!).

I continued, “So I really have to apologize about everything. All this sexual energy has been affecting Michelle and Ruby, and now you too. Just being in the same house, it’s probably hard to escape from the general vibe.”

“That is VERY true,” Nicky exclaimed emphatically.

“In a way, it might have been easier on your sisters, because they’ve seen things develop day by day, so they’ve had time to adjust. But you were dropped right into the middle of some kind of boiling soup. I’m sorry again that I didn’t think through how all this would affect you. But remember that no matter what happens, I’ll always be your dad. I hope you know how much I love you, and that I’d do anything to make you happy.”

“Oh, Dad!” She suddenly spread her arms wide and enveloped me in a hug. “Thank you for saying that. Just hearing that makes me feel a lot better. With all this weirdness going on, it’s good to know that some things never change.”

We were both silent for a while and just bonded through the hug. Despite the fact that Nicky was bare breasted, and in fact, only a few square inches of fabric away from being totally naked, I was in “dad mode” and treated the hug as a familial and loving moment only.

Happily, for once, my penis obeyed my mind and stayed only half-hard. I was careful to keep my hands around her back and not let them drift down to her fulsome ass, as they tended to do lately during hugs. It helped that her nipples weren’t erect so they didn’t poke hard into my chest through my shirt.

We must have simply and silently held that hug for two minutes, if not longer. Nicky didn’t cry, but she seemed to be emotionally venting or purging through the hug in some way. I could feel the tension and turmoil slowly leaving her.

At the same time, I felt myself relaxing to a surprising degree as well. To be honest, it felt great to simply be a dad again, without any sexual craziness. Sure, I was somewhat aroused since I had a busty brunette bombshell in my arms, but I was keeping my lust in check. Simply being a loving and supportive father was my main thought.

Finally, she sighed, but it sounded to be a sigh of relief, if not even happiness.

Sensing the hug had served its purpose, I pulled back enough to make eye contact while still keeping my arms around her upper back - and her huge tits lightly resting against my chest. I must admit that I was enjoying that contact too much to completely let go, but I was surprised she didn’t seem to mind.

I asked, “So ... what should we do about your four friends? I hope they’re gone by now. But still, I want to take direction from you, plus Michelle and Ruby, so I don’t do anything weird that’ll affect your friendships.”

She sighed again, with obvious frustration this time. “Thanks, Dad, but I think the cat is out of the bag on that one, after those kisses. And by the way, they’re not my friends. Well, Monique definitely is, but the other three really belong to Michelle and Ruby, so you need to talk to them.”

She turned slightly towards the ocean and stared off into the distance, leaving only one bare tit resting against me. “As for Monique, gosh, I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t hear what you two were saying to each other, but I could see how she looked at you, and she obviously still has a huge crush on you.”

“‘Still?’”

She sighed yet again. “Yeah. Still.” While continuing to look at the water instead of me, she added, “Dad, in case you hadn’t noticed somehow, everybody has a crush on you, okay? EVERYbody!”

Her face grew sad and contemplative. She pulled further away from me, so I finally lost all contact with her immense melons. “So I don’t know what’s worse: if you have a little sexual fun with her and give her that glimpse of heaven, but then leave her wanting more, or if she should just stay frustrated and never know what that’s like.”

I could feel my dick slowly going from half-hard back to all the way hard. But I wasn’t too worried about that. I figured it was a biological function that couldn’t be stopped for long while in the presence of Nicky’s overwhelming beauty, especially with her being a triangle of red fabric over her pussy from being completely naked. The important thing was that I was in “loving and caring dad” mode and I wasn’t having all kinds of crazy, lusty thoughts running through my head. I was in control.

I said, “Come on. ‘Glimpse of heaven?’ What is the deal?! How many times do I have to say I’m just not that great?! It’s like there’s some kind of collective mass delusion going on lately. Okay, so I’m handsome, or so some women tell me. I get that. And I have an agreeable personality, and I seem to have some bedroom skills. Big deal. So do lots and lots of other guys. With Monique’s exotic and stunning looks, she should be able to snag some millionaire who has a face that belongs on the cover of GQ.”

Nicky finally turned her head back to me. “Yeah, but I’ve tried that, and it’s not what it’s cracked up to be.” She suddenly blushed, and quickly added, “What I mean is, there are a lot of guys like Steve who look good at first, but all that superficial stuff doesn’t mean he can truly satisfy a woman. Not that you ... God, what am I saying here? Um, that is to say, with Monique, there’s a long history here.”

Nicky had been getting increasingly flustered, but with that last comment she seemed to find a groove again. She said more confidently, “Monique has had a crush on you for years. So have some other of our friends, with the obvious exception of Sue Ellen, since she’s only recently been getting to know you. I’ll bet even she’s heard the stories about you for a long time though. And all those years of strong emotional feeling add up. Some new hunky guy just wouldn’t compare to you, because that guy wouldn’t have a history with them like that.”

My dick was fully erect by now, but I was steadfastly ignoring it. And the shorts were doing a good job of hiding it; much better than my lousy swimsuit earlier.

I asked, “Like what? I feel like I hardly know Monique. Sure, I’ve seen a lot of her over the years, but she was your friend. I hardly ever talked to her beyond a few pleasantries.”

She finally smiled. It was the first smile since we’d begun our discussion. “Dad, you’re so clueless that it’s hilarious! Never stop being you, okay?”

“Um, okay. If I stop being me then tell me. Although I don’t know how you’ll be able to tell me if I’m not me at that point.”

She gave me a big hug. “Oh, Dad! I love you! You’re the best. Thanks a lot for tracking me down and talking to me. I feel a lot better already.”

“Anything for you, Muffin.”

I had to be careful. The hug was a purely platonic one, and I didn’t want it any other way. But my dick was stiff and I was generally horny just because there was no way my body couldn’t react to her overwhelming beauty. Furthermore, a hug meant more of her huge bare globes pressing against me. I was ultra careful to keep my hands around the middle of her back and lean in slightly to make absolutely sure she wouldn’t come into contact with my bulge. I was still feeling in control and fatherly, things could go pear-shaped quickly if I didn’t stay vigilant.

As she squeezed me, she said, “I know, but just trust me when I say she’s crushing on you strong enough to cheat on her boyfriend.”

“What?! She told me she doesn’t have one right now. All of them did.”

She pulled back, but we remained in loose contact. I wound up with my hands on her shoulders, which seemed comforting but safe, and she kept her hands on my waist. She stared at me with intense, narrow eyes. “And all of them are lying.”

“Come on! How do you know that?” I caught myself gawking at her cleavage and the rest of her bare tits now that they were fully visible yet again, and I had to jerk my head back up.

She grew more hesitant. “Okay, it’s true I don’t know for sure, but it’s a pretty damn good bet. Sue Ellen told me earlier that she recently broke up with her boyfriend Mike. So she’s in the clear. But what are the odds that the other three, with their looks, are all without boyfriends too? Come on!”

I frowned. “I have to admit you have a good point there. Although she said that with the start of summer, they were kind of between things, different social groups and whatnot.”

She scoffed, “I highly, highly doubt that. Believe me, I’m going to get to the bottom-”

She was interrupted because she sensed someone coming. She turned to the path that led to the pool area, and sure enough, Michelle was walking towards us.

Michelle seemed cross. As if to emphasize that point, she had her arms crossed under her jutting torpedoes without covering them up whatsoever. She said, “Well, well, well. Look what we have here.”

Nicky and I were still in a light embrace, with my hands on her shoulders and her hands on my waist, but we broke apart as if we’d been busted somehow.

Michelle griped as she walked closer, “Don’t you two look chummy.”

I responded, “Yeah, but so what? Nicky was feeling overwhelmed by things, and I was just comforting her.”

“I’ll bet you were,” Michelle said in her same snarky voice. “Anyway, the girls have finally left, and Mom and Cindy are around and they’re wondering where you are.”

“Okay, tell them we’ll be there in a minute.”

“Fine.” Michelle gave Nicky a mean look, and then spun around in place and started slowly walking back to the pool area.

I had to wait a surprisingly long time until Michelle was out of hearing range. Then I muttered to Nicky, “Boy, Michelle is in some kind of mood. I wonder what that was all about?”

Nicky asked me with astonishment, “You don’t know?”

I turned to face her, while trying hard not to look down at her fantastic bare rack. She seemed surprisingly at ease standing topless next to me, which was a sharp contrast to when I’d arrived here. That left me hopeful that I’d repaired the damage. “No, I don’t know. To be honest, there are far too many things around here I don’t know. Perhaps you can enlighten me?”

Nicky sighed. “You know how Michelle is. She’s an attention hog. And she’s a really big ‘Daddy’s girl’ - she especially craves attention from you. Then I show up and I’m taking a big chunk of that attention away from her.”

I pointed out, “But she’s been helping you overcome your shyness. That would seem to contradict that.”

“True, but this isn’t really a logical thing. People can work at cross purposes. Besides, she’s okay with Ruby or me or someone else taking up some of your attention. But with you talking out here alone with me, I’m hogging ALL of your attention.”

“Ah. Good point. I should have seen that. I guess I haven’t been on my toes lately.” That was a very good point indeed. I resolved to figure out a way to use this to my advantage in my on-going power struggle with the Gruesome Twosome.

Nicky smirk-smiled, Mindy style. “It’s safe to say you’ve had a lot of distractions.”

I was surprised she would joke about something with sexual overtones like that, even if it was fairly oblique. I didn’t know what to say, so I just nodded. Then, before any uncomfortable silence could grow, I said, “Well, I guess we should be getting back.”

“Yeah.” Nicky started walking ahead of me, expecting that I would follow. “Thanks for cheering me up. I think I’ll be able to manage with the weirdness a lot better now. If I have trouble, I’ll just think that as bizarre as it is for me, it’s twice as bad for you.”

She turned her head in my direction and smiled impishly. Then she kept on walking.

So far, I’d been happy that we were having a completely non-sexual encounter, despite having such a small amount of clothing between us. I hadn’t tried to do anything a “good dad” wouldn’t try to do. But Nicky had such a fantastic ass that I found myself walking a couple of steps behind her. After all, she was the one who walked ahead, right?

But I started feeling too pervy about it, so I eventually caught up with her after all. We walked hand in hand the rest of the way back to the pool. It was nice to simply be with my wonderful daughter and bask in the glory of a successful parenting incident.

I chided myself, Not everything has to be so sexual. Just because I’m surrounded by these totally busty bombshells, we’re all still just people underneath. I did a good job here, treating her like I should, as my daughter and nothing more. I need to be more considerate of her feelings in the future.

Sure enough, once we came through the trees to the pool area, it was just as Michelle had described. Anjali, Nina, Monique, and Sue Ellen were gone, and Ruby, Michelle, Mindy, and Cindy were there. All those who remained were sitting at the patio table in the shade, busy talking to each other.
