Page 18 of Thanksgiving With Dad's Best Friend

He sits down on the edge of my bed, oblivious to the erotic acts that just unfolded here. I hold my breath, feeling light-headed. The effects of Flynn and his tongue on my pussy haven’t worn off yet, and I’m a strange mix of euphoric and extremely anxious. As my father pats my arm in a fatherly manner, I can’t help feeling a little guilty too. What I did tonight was a complete betrayal of his unspoken trust, and God knows he’s had enough betrayal lately.

“Did you have a good time tonight?” I ask. I need to fill the silence before he notices that someone else is present in the room. My father nods.

“Yeah…it’s been a long time since I hit the town that hard,” he says with a chuckle. “And it was nice to spend time with Flynn…he’s so busy with work that we rarely get to hang out.”

The mention of Flynn makes my skin tingle. I wonder if he can hear our hushed conversation from inside the closet. The whole situation is ridiculous…I feel like a teenager hiding him in the closet…but the alternative isn’t something I want to entertain. I force a smile for my Dad.

“Well…I guess this week is going to allow you a lot of time together. That’s got to be a good thing, right?”

He smiles dopily. “Well, sure. It’s always good to see him. But I guess I’m going to have a lot more time on my hands now, considering that I’m no longer with your mother.”

My heart aches for him. I can’t imagine what it must be like to love someone for over twenty years, only to discover that they’re out finding happiness with someone else. Something tells me that if I stick with Flynn, he’d never do that to me, but I guess my father thought the same. His trust has clearly been misplaced more than once. And I know now that he came here to talk about her.

“Dad…I know she let you down a lot. I know that you feel like the whole marriage was a waste of time. But you had a lot of happy years together.”

“Of course we did. We had you together,” he says with a smile, patting my arm again. “And that’s worth all of the heartbreak of course…you’ve always been the best thing that ever happened to me, Lexi. Nothing can take you away from me now…and I know I can always rely on you. That’s something that won’t ever change.”

My heart skips a beat. I feel a little nauseous. If he knew what I did tonight, he’d probably disown me. If I was dating a man double my age, he’d be dubious anyway. The fact that I’m lusting after his best friend just makes the situation ten times worse. I swallow the lump in my throat.

“Of course, Dad…we’ve got each other.”

He leans in to kiss my forehead. “Alright, darling. That’s all I wanted to hear. I think I’ll sleep well now.”

He rises from my bed and heads for the door. He looks back at me once, affection filling his gaze. As the door closes, so do my eyes, and I allow the reality of what I’ve done to rush over me. This was a mistake. Following my heart was such a selfish thing to do…how could I when I know how much it would affect my father? He’s been through enough without being betrayed by me too.

A few minutes pass in silence before Flynn peeps out of the closet. He’s grinning to himself and I can see that he doesn’t understand what’s going through my head right now. He’s much more willing to play with fire. And as much as I want to dance in the flames with him, I know that it’s not us that will come out burned.

Flynn sneaks across the room to capture my lips with his. I sigh into his touch, even as guilt stabs at my heart. I have to have this final kiss. I have to savor the feeling, because I’ve already made my decision.

I can’t do this to Dad again. I have to put his heart above mine.

This is the last kiss Flynn and I will share.

CHAPTER 6

Flynn

I woke this morning hard as a rock. Last night was risky as hell, but for me, it almost added to the feverish excitement of it all. Knowing we could’ve been caught was scary for sure, but at the same time, it was entirely worth it to bury my face between Lexi’s legs, to taste her, to touch every inch of her smooth skin. And now, I know what I want next.

I want to fuck her tonight. This constant erection is getting to be painful. I have to relieve the tension that’s been building up inside me. We might have to be more careful about it this time, but whatever happens, tonight is the night. I could tell by her responsiveness last night that she’s craving my body the way I’m craving hers. Tonight, I’m going to show her just how much I want her. Tonight, everything will fall into place.
