As usual, work had left me utterly exhausted. By the time I walked past the front gate and entered the patio of our home, I was already aching to lay down in bed and sleep. I twist the key and let myself inside the dark and quiet house. It was nearly midnight, and I didn’t want to wake anyone up so I made sure to remain as silent as I could.

My mother’s boyfriend, Jeremy, often argued with me about changing my work shift. He wasn’t comfortable with me having to drive home late every night, even though I’ve consistently told him that I was an able-minded adult who could fend for herself. I didn’t need a man, much less him, to watch over me. It didn’t matter that he would volunteer to drive me home after every day of work, I couldn’t accept the fact that he continued to treat me as a little girl even after all these years.

I crept up the stairs, already undoing the buttons of my dress shirt, when I see the faint glow of light from the bottom of the master bedroom door. It was Jeremy. What was he doing up so late?

“Oh, well. Might as well wish him good night…”

I made my way for the door but pause when I hear soft whispers coming from inside. Mom couldn’t have been home. She was out on a business trip for the weekend. Who was Jeremy speaking to? My heart jumped when I thought the worse. Was he taking advantage of my mother’s absence by bringing another woman to our home!?

Without thinking, I stormed into his room with the largest scowl on my face. I couldn’t believe his betrayal! I couldn’t believe he would do something so awful! I couldn’t believe he would cheat on my mother after all they had been through together!

“HOW COULD YOU!” I voiced from the top of my lungs. “HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME AND MAMA! AFTER EVERYTHING WE’VE BEEN THROUGH―”

I stop when I realize how wrong I was. Yes, Jeremy was lying on his bed. Yes, he was totally naked with his hard cock jolting up in the air. And yes, I was surprised to see how muscular and fit the older man was. But if there were any signs of another woman laying beside him, I was completely mistaken. Unless she were hiding beneath the mattress, Jeremy was alone inside his bedroom with no traces of another soul with him.

The two of us stared at each other in disbelief. It was difficult to tell who was more surprised, him or me. I don’t know why but my brain was trying to wrap around what he was doing inside the room.

“Well, for one, he’s naked. He was making strange noises. And he’s alone in the bedroom…”

“OH MY GOD―” I screamed, finally understanding what was going on.

“YOU WERE―BUT YOU CAN’T―WERE YOU ACTUALLY―”

I suddenly couldn’t stop myself from snickering. Catching my proud, caring, and loving Jeremy touching himself while Mom was out of the house was something I never would have expected. And while I was laughing and enjoying myself, Jeremy didn’t seem to share the same sentiment. His face was flushed as his eyebrows curled up. When I realize how angry the man was, I quickly seal my lips shut and dashed out of his bedroom.

“LIZZY, YOU LITTLE BRAT!” he bellowed from behind me. “GET YOUR

ASS BACK OVER HERE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!”

I was nimble and fit. But that wasn’t enough for me to outrun Jeremy chasing me down the hallway. He catches me from behind, wrapping his large arms around my waist and lifting me into the air.

“S-Sorry!”I squealed. “I didn’t mean to do that I thought you were―”

“Thought I was what!?” he said in an aggressive manner. “Why the hell are you walking in my room without knockin’!?”

I let out a soft squeal as he carries me into my room. Once there, he tosses me on my bed and stands at the doorway. My eyes lit up when I see that he’s still totally nude. Manly hairs ran across his chest as my gaze drifted lower to his pelvis. His once glorious and solid member was now totally flaccid.

“What’re you starin’ at!?” he said, unabashed. “I asked you why you were snoopin’ round my room like you pay the bills here!”

“I-I’m sorry!” I repeated for the second time. “I heard noises coming from your room and I thought―”

“You thought?”

“I thought you were, you know, doing it with someone else!”

Jeremy crosses his arms and glares at me. Then after a brief moment of silence, he sighed and closed his eyes.

“S-So it’s true? You were... um… masturbating?”

He nods his head. “Well, princess, if you must know, yes. I was masturbating.”

I wanted to giggle but I knew that would draw his ire once again. The best thing to do was to stay silent, at least for now. Jeremy still had his eyes closed, almost as if he were thinking of what to do next. After a full minute passes, I was left wondering why he was still standing by my door.

“W-What now?” I finally had to ask. “What are you thinking about?”

“What I’m thinking ‘bout? I’m thinking ‘bout how I’m going to punish you.”

“Oh, okay―WAIT, WHAT!?”

“Yeah, you’re too old to be standing in time-out, you know? And I’m not really in the mood to give you a spankin’”

“But you haven’t punished me in years!” I cried out. “I’ve been nothing but a good girl lately!”

He opens his eyes at last, looking resolute about his decision to punish me. Whatever sort of plans he had, I knew it was going to be big.

“A bad girl is still a bad girl,” he explained. “And it’s up to me to put you in place if you do something wrong.”

He hops on the bed with his nude frame, crawling over in my immediate direction. Given that I was a petite gal who still slept on a twin-sized mattress, there wasn’t much room around to be shared. I scooted backward until my back hits the top of my bed frame. Was he seriously about to do what I think he was!?

“Alright then,” he says while staring eerily at my body. “Since you were so brazen enough to catch me without my clothes on, it’s only fair that I get to see you naked too.”

My voice was dry. I tried to speak but no words would come out of my lips. I

couldn’t believe what had just come out of his mouth.

“You want me to―”

“Take off your clothes,” he said it again. “It’s only fair, Elizabeth. You saw me naked so it’s only fair that I get to see you naked too.”

I swallowed my breath. My limbs were trembling. But although I felt scared by his unusual demand, I still found excitement knowing that he was interested in my body. Yes, I knew that this chance for payback was nothing more than a rouse. A man who is close to climaxing is the most dangerous person in the world. He would do anything, even his baby girl, if it would satisfy his sexual desires. I knew he was still horny. And he knew that I was a young, fertile babe who was ready to be taken.

“Goddamnit, princess! You’re still peeking at me.”

I jumped when I realize that I was staring at his hardening cock. Watching it twitch and jump seemed to trigger something inside me. With no more words to say, I grabbed the hem of my pants and pull them off my legs.

I smirked when I see his expressionless face. His eyes linger from my naked thighs, to my belly, to my feet. It was as if he were surprised that I was actually complying with his demands. But whatever the case, I wasn’t through. I lifted my shirt over my head, revealing to him my naked chest. I didn’t usually wear a bra, so my womanly mammaries were on full display as Jeremy took in the glorious sight before him.

“There!” I said, pretending to be angry. “Are we even now?”

“Nuh-uh,” he answered, eyes locked on my chest. “You saw me touching

myself. Now it’s your turn to do the same.”
