Chapter 24 ~ Mf, Mg
Steven helped Sarah into the bath, then stripped down himself and joined her. He started bathing with her since last week when he was washing his cock off after he had fucked prissy little Erin's ass for the first time. It was Monday, he was always backed up on on Monday since he couldn't have "special times" with any of his little girls all weekend while his wife around. To make mattes worse, last night Karen had rejected his advances. "I'm tired." He had wanted to fuck her while closing his eyes and thinking of his daughter.
Bitch.
His cock was already half hard as he sat in the tub, his daughter and her toys between his legs. She played with her ponies as he slowly stroked his cock in the water, looking at Sarah, her mouth, her wet skin, her pussy.
"Daddys playin too!" Sarah said, her attention drawn to what he was doing to himself. She started walking her ponies up his thighs, pretending they were watching him jerk off. In her pony voice she said, "Daddy's havin special times!"
Steven loved seeing his daughter's face so close as he stroked himself. "Why don't you give it kisses, baby," he said to her.
She looked at him and smiled, "Ok daddy!" and she moved forward, looked at him, opened her mouth wide and tucked her lips behind her teeth just like Air-win had showed her.
Steven moved his hand to the base of his hard cock and pointed it at her as his young daughter bent down on him, and suddenly the head was in her mouth and her neck was stiff as she bent at the waist giving her daddy head. "Oh sweetie.... that feels so good," and he could see her try to smile with her lips wrapped around him. Her tongue was hitting under the head just right, and he wasn't sure if he was feeling that tingle because she was so surprisingly good at this, or feeling that tingle because he loved the fact his 5-year-old daughter was sucking his cock. I shot her out of it, and now she's sucking it. He really didn't care because she kept sucking him, bobbing her head on him, three inches disappearing into her small mouth over and over. "Daddy loves to watch you suck his cock, sweetie," he said to her... excited to be talking to her like this. He watched her suck him and had thoughts for the future.... he wondered what she would look like as she got older, a teenager, when he would be fucking her day and night while she begged for more of his cum inside her. He couldn't wait. He didn't wait... he started shooting in Sarah's small mouth.
Sarah felt his first shot in her mouth but was surprised and pulled off of him. He was already holding his cock so he stroked it, aiming for his daughter, shooting all over her chest. His cum was dripping off her bottom lip but she giggled... it was just all so funny!
She was watching each weakening jet leave the tip of his penis, and finally he was done, breathing hard. "You're sposed to swallow daddy's cum, honey. Member what Erin said?"
Sarah looked up at him and suddenly closed her mouth, trapping what was left inside, and Steven watched her swallow. "Sorry Daddy it was right in my mouf and I was supised!" She slurped it from her bottom lip, getting more of it. "Can I drink it now daddy?"
Oh god. "Yes sweetie, you can drink daddy's cum.... you can always drink daddy's cum whenever you want when we are alone having our special times..." Reinforce the alone part.
He held his cock still for her as she leaned forward and he felt her tongue lapping at the head of it like a puppy, cleaning him up. She leaned down and licked some on his tummy. She looked at him, opened up and showed him how much she had, made an exaggerated swallow, and smiled.
Oh my god, I can't wait to fuck her some day, so much. I'm going to fuck her and cum in her, and... he surprised himself at these new thoughts.... make her pregnant. She's going to have so many of daddy's babies.
She started wiping it off herself where he'd shot it on her, licking each dollop from her fingers. She checked herself out, "Got it all daddy!"
Steven was already hard again, he was so into this moment. "Know what else is fun, baby?"
"What daddy?" with wide, very interested eyes.
"Wanna kiss me like how I kiss with Erin?"
She looked confused.
"Here, let me show you honey.... come forward, sit on my lap."
Sarah wasn't sure what he meant, so Steven lifted her bodily and straddled her legs around his hips.... his hard cock nestled against her little, wet vagina, her labia straddling the underside of his cock as her legs straddled his body.
She giggled.
Steven adjusted, sitting up, he had been slouching a little. He leaned his face down to his daughter and kissed her lips, softly, lingering, trying to kiss her as a lover instead of as a little girl. He felt her small, soft lips against his, but she didn't respond. She did giggle, though, when he licked them. He pulled back, "Honey, that's how grownups give special kisses. The girl kisses, too," and he smiled at her.
For all their play, for all the times he had touched her kitty and given her tiny cummies, Daddy kissing her was the first time she felt butterflies in her tummy. "Yeah daddy ok," she said more softly than usual.
He leaned in and kissed her again, and this time he felt tiny movements, the tiniest pressure, as she kissed him back. Her efforts were so small.... she basically repeated what he did to her, smaller. He squeezed her bottom lip between his, then she repeated it. He flicked her gently with his tongue.... she did the same. He opened her mouth with his tongue, sliding in so softly... and she clamped down and sucked it like it was his cock. Steven groaned as he slipped more of his tongue in her mouth, he looked and her eyes were closed as she sucked on it instinctually. Without thinking he put his hands on her tiny ass and started slowly moving her pussy on his cock, slowly sliding her against him. He heard a small peep come from his daughter at the sensation, and she sucked his tongue harder.
Sarah didn't know it, but she was feeling eroticism for the first time. Kissing her daddy, his hands on her butt as he made her rub her kitty... that good spot... against his big, hard dick.... it felt so good... it all felt so good... and she was a little dizzy from it.
And she didn't want to stop.
She wrapped her arms around daddy's big strong neck and Steven felt her begin to move her hips on her own in his hands, as she rubbed her pussy against his cock. She was sucking his tongue so hard and beginning to chirp as she pleasured herself against him, he squeezed her cheeks firmly and help her ride him. She released his tongue and gasped, eyes wide, as her hips got clumsy, unable to keep their smooth rocking. He helped her, holding her firmly by the ass, as he masturbated her on himself.
She gasped more than usual, he saw her eyelids were heavy as she panted and moaned on him.
Finally she got through it, her eyes opened fully and she looked at him... "Daddy.... that was goooooodddd..." as she always said to him, after.
"Was that better than usual, honey?"
"Yah!" she said, and smiled.
He hugged her, he could feel her heart beating so fast in her chest, against his. "I love you so much baby, I love our special times and making you feel so good."
"Me too daddy," he heard from the side of his head, as she squeezed him.
Cock still between her legs, he lifted her with him as he stood in the tub, stepped out, and put her down. He dried her off, naked before her as she looked up at him.
When they were both dry he picked her up, loving how her warm, bare vagina felt against his side as he carried her... and he took her to the couch in the living room. He sat her down, and knelt before her. "Do you want Daddy to give you some special kisses now, baby girl?"
He'd never licked her when she was awake.... this was new. "Ok," she whispered.
She watched her Daddy lean down, he stopped looking at her face and looked down at her kitty. She watched him grab her legs and spread them wide, and he pulled and slid her butt down so it was closer to the edge. She felt the hair on his head tickle between thighs and giggled, watching as daddy's face got closer to her kitty. Suddenly his fingers were spreading her open and she felt his tongue... right on the good place. "Ooohhhhh," she sighed softly as he licked her for the first time in her life... while she was awake.
He stopped, "Feel good honey?"
"Yes Daddy."
He proceeded to eat his little girl alive. He explored her, savored his daughter's tiny vagina, relishing that she was finally awake while he did it. He would look up at her from time to time, and she was always looking down at him, her eyes wide, mouth open, cheeks red. He flicked his tongue through every little fold, tasted her opening, examined it... he could just see her hymen, inside. Someday... he loved her taste, so fresh, so light, almost like Erin. He started flicking his tongue on her clit, seeing it blush and feeling it engorge with blood as he stimulated it. He lightly pushed back the hood and licked it directly, causing Sarah to intake a sharp breath above him, and then sigh as he licked wet, soft circles around it. As her labia filled with blood and started staying open on their own, he brought one hand down to his cock and stroked himself while he ate his young daughter's pussy. Suddenly Sarah was convulsing under his tongue, thrusting her pussy at his mouth as he focused on her clit... he heard her gasps from above him.... and ate her to another orgasm. It was so fucking hot.... he stood up over her when he was done, stroked his cock while she looked up at him, and when he was getting close he said, "daddy's cumming again baby... suck on it and swallow it all this time..." he knew there would be less semen the second time, it would be easier for her. Sarah immediately sat up taller, he aimed himself down at her open mouth and stuck-out tongue, and he pumped himself as she again clamped her lips around him. She sat very still as he jacked himself right below where her lips ended, looking up at him. "Here it comes baby..." he tried to hold still.... pumping one.... two.... three spurts into her mouth, Sarah broke eye contact and tried to swallow, with his head still inside. Four spurts... he was almost done, having already cum on her not so long ago. Sarah swallowed and he filled her mouth again... but this time he pulled out, she closed her lips, and swallowed so loud he could actually hear her throat working.
She looked up at him after that and smiled so big, "I did it Daddy! I ate it all!"
Steven stood over his little girl, his shrinking cock still in her face, glistening with her saliva. "You sure did, baby," he caressed her face as she smiled at him. "You sure did."

Karen was almost positive her husband was having an affair.
She sat at work distracted, a website open to a detective agency that claimed if your spouse was cheating, they'd find out. She kept minimizing it and opening it back up, indecisive as to whether or not to call.
There were just too many clues. The constantly changed bed sheets. He never used to not answer her calls... now some days she couldn't get a hold of him for hours. His changing behavior.... he seemed more sexual now, which didn't make sense... if he was sleeping with someone else, wouldn't that mean he wanted me less? But the articles she'd read said this was a common behavior... a cheating man will show his wife more affection because he felt guilty. That sort of made sense to her. And she remembered that long, blonde hair she'd found on the couch a while back.
There were just so many clues. She had been thinking about this for the last few days, working herself up to making the call.... and she had even rejected his advances in bed the previous night, thinking about it.
There were just so many clues.
It was time to go home for the day, she closed the website and grabbed her bag.
++++
Her mind was still preoccupied with those thoughts as she drove home and into their spot in the parking garage. She went up the elevator and in the door, and she smelled dinner and everything was fine, and normal, and exactly how it should be. Steven said to her, "Hey hon!" from the kitchen as Sarah ran to meet her at the door, "Hi Mommy!" and they hugged as they always did. And dinner smelled great, it smelled like spaghetti, which was always welcome.
She went to the living room with Sarah to hear about her day and she half-listened as she heard about bath time and the play area down stairs and what one pony had said to the other. She loved spending this time with her daughter but sometimes she tuned out... sometimes, if she was being honest, she had a hard time being interested in pony politics after a long day at work.
"That's so nice baby.... why don't you play a while and let mommy rest a little bit before dinner. She had a long day."
Her daughter said, "Ok mommy," and smiled at her. She loved her daughter's smile.
She put her head back and closed her eyes, rubbing her temples. Everything seems fine. I am just making something out of nothing.... still trying to talk herself out of her suspicions as Sarah played on the couch next to her, and Steven was in the kitchen cooking.
Something Sarah was saying caught her attention. She listened. She was using pony talk.... her voice even higher pitched than usual, almost hard to understand. "I can give you special kisses pink pony, but you can't talk about it because these are our special times and those are secret." And then in a slightly deeper silly voice, "You make me feel really good down there with your special kisses, mmmm do it again and then I will eat it up when you shoot your stuff out!"
Karen opened her eyes and looked into the kitchen at Steven, death in her eyes. That bastard... that bastard.... he's fucking someone else and Sarah knows about it.
Steven didn't realize anything was wrong, he was daydreaming about how Sarah had sucked the cum out of his cock that day like a calf on an udder, and kind of hoped to get her to do it again tomorrow after Erin left the apartment so Sarah could taste Erin's pussy on him. And that night I can fuck Karen and cum inside three girls in one day... a new record... The fact Karen was being so quiet through dinner was great, she didn't distract him from his daydreams.
++++
She made the phone call from the car on the way to work the next morning, and met with the private investigator over her lunch break. He said he could plant recording devices all over the apartment that Steven would never find, if that's where she thought the deed was happening... Karen said she was sure of it, and gave him all the evidence she'd compiled.
The detective listened, nodded, and said, "Yep, pretty much sounds like it. So when can my people get in to set up, when he's out?"
"He has a business trip Monday. He's flying out in the morning and will be home by about midnight."
"Sounds like we have our window," the man said, and Karen gave him half the cash for the job, up front.
She took a sick day from work and after Steven left for the airport she took Sarah to the drop-in daycare and signed her in. On a whim she looked at previous pages... and saw Sarah signed in a lot more than she'd thought.... and it looked like every Tuesday and Thursday for the last several months. She got angrier.
She went back to the apartment and the investigator and his techs were ready, they planted cameras in the living room and bedroom, getting multiple angles, "And they're wired for sound, too, and they don't record on premises, they stream directly over cell signals so they record on computers in our office. They're pretty neat," he said.
"Great," Karen growled. Tuesdays and Thursdays. You're mine, you bastard.
++++
Karen pretended to be sleeping when Steven got in from the airport Monday night, she managed not to throw up when he kissed her cheek and whispered, "Good night."
++++
Karen managed to avoid him the next morning too, when he had wanted to tell her a funny story that had happened in Miami she brushed by him on the way to the door with a, "Sorry Steven, running late, tell me later."
++++
She fumed all day at work, and at almost 5pm, the private detective called her. "Uh, maam, we need you to come in and see what we recorded today. It's important, we really need to see you tonight."
"Fine, I'm on my way." She knew she had that bastard cold and that her marriage was over. I'm going to fuck every man I can find and send him pictures of it, she thought.
++++
Erin knocked on the door to Steven's apartment at the same time she did every Tuesday.... he used to be waiting for me to come down the hall.... and after a moment it opened, and she saw his smile. "Hi baby," she said to him, smiling.
"Hey! So glad you're finally here," and he stood aside so she could enter. "I missed talking to you last night, but I was traveling and didn't get in until midnight." He was leading her directly to his bedroom.
"That's ok.... I just talked to my friends on Skype for a while, and fell asleep. I have been thinking about you all day, though." She watched Steven start to undress himself. I really need to tell him, today. Don't chicken out. She started undressing herself, as well. He used to practically tear my clothes off....
Steven finished undressing and stood before her, she wasn't quite done yet so he helped her with her panties... and she shuddered as she felt his fingers on her, as he pulled them down her thighs. She stood before him naked, they looked at each other, and she thought Oh fuck it, I'll tell him after. She stepped forward and fell into his kiss.
Their lovemaking was fast and urgent, they had missed each other over the weekend, for all of his hidden resentment. She loved him, and loved his body, and loved how she felt when he made love to her.... he loved how tight her pussy felt, how enthusiastic she was when he fucked her, and he loved having a sexy young mistress. Erin got on top and rode him fast and hard, the covers of the bed pushed down, completely open and exposed to each other. She was always able to make him climax with her. She leaned back as she was about to cum, body arched backwards, and he loved seeing her strain on his cock. She ground her clit against his shaft, he raised his hips up to drive into her young body harder, and she felt her entire self contract and then expand as he started emptying himself into her, yet again. "Steven! Oh Steven, I'm cumming! she cried.
"I'm filling you up so deep baby," he growled back at her, holding her hips and driving up into her.
They cried out in their pleasure and Erin collapsed forward onto his body as they both caught their breath. She felt him melt and slip out of her so she rolled to his side, leg draped over his thigh, breasts against his body, head on his chest. I have to tell him.
After a moment.... "So I never told you about my past," she started simply, when they were still.
She started at the beginning. Being 8 years old, so curious about the world, about life, and her handsome neighbor who watched her every day. About the swimming pool, about how he had made her cum, how she loved it, and she never looked back. How he climbed into her window the night of her 10th birthday, making love to her for the first time. How she had loved him with all of her heart and soul....
And she told him about The Circle. About the men, doing things to them, and the girls they brought. How scared she was at first, especially how all the girls were afraid of one called Crazy Ed. Somehow, perhaps through instinct, or perhaps just dumb luck, she never mentioned Laura and her father. They had been left out of it when the other girls surrendered themselves, so it just felt natural to not mention her now. She saved Laura's life again just then, and didn't even know it.
But even as part of The Circle she told him she'd only made love to two men in her life, and he was one of them. "John always kept that just for himself... and it was one of the reasons I loved him." Then she told him about Crazy Ed, and her father, and her coma. About being so confused when she finally woke up.... and how her friends... and Steven himself... had helped her bring herself back into the world, made her feel whole, again.
He asked very few questions while she spoke, she could feel him get tense when something really bothered him, like how she was forced to be with all the other men. She liked that he didn't like that.
She never looked up at him for her entire long story, just looked down at his body, looked at how his soft cock lay against his thigh....just felt his still arm around her shoulders, unmoving. She wished she dared to look up at him so she could see him, gauge his reaction to everything.
"I thought I would be with John forever. I know I was young, but I know I loved him, and I thought he loved me. But he left me. But then I found you, Steven.... and I am glad John is gone." I wish he had never left. "You are so much better to me than he ever was." You aren't, but at least you're here. "I hope you don't hate me for lying to you." I never had to lie to John.
Steven muttered something.
"What?"
"I could never have shared you," he said a little louder. Something about this doesn't add up, he thought. "How long did you say you were in a coma?" he asked.
"Five months."
He was trying to do the math, remember the timeline of everything she had just said.
Erin knew he was figuring it out. "Do you still love me?" she asked softly.
"Yes."
"Then I have one more confession."
10th birthday... five months in a coma.... "I don't think anything could be bigger than a child sex ring... but go ahead."
"I told you I lost my virginity on my 10th birthday."
"Yes."
"My second man was three years later, to the day."
Steven stared up at the ceiling. "Wait." Her second man.... "You said I was the only other man you had...." and there it was. She is so tiny. She reminds me so much of his Sarah. She never talks about college, ever. "Your friends... the ones you always mention...."
"My friends from The Circle."
"You're only 13?"
"Yes."
Oh my god, she's 13... with dread. And then, after a moment.... Oh my god, she's 13... with excitement. I'm fucking a 13 year old. She may have been technically 12 that first time, depending on when she was born.... holy fucking shit. He calmed himself. I have to react to this correctly, manipulating.... "You're scared that I hate you, aren't you." I have been fucking a 13 year old pussy.... he felt his cock responding to his line of thought.
"Yes..." Erin was on the verge of tears. She knew this was the end for them, he would never forgive her for lying.
"Why did you wait until we... made love..." fucked... "before you told me?"
"I wanted one more time with you, in case you told me to leave."
"Do you love me that much?" he asked with sincerity in his tone.
She finally looked at him. "Yes Steven, I do. So much."
"Baby," he said to her, looking down into her eyes. "I told you I loved you, your age never factored into it. I love you for who you are, not because I thought you crossed some arbitrary age line that said it was ok to have sex, now."
"You're not mad at me?" she asked with hope.
"Of course not honey.... and I'm sorry you felt you had to keep this secret for so long, it must have been so hard for you."
Erin laughed, and the tears came. "I was so worried!" and she hugged him hard, laughing, crying.
I can feel her tits against me... her little 13 year old girl tits... and he held her close as she hugged him, and cried. His hands couldn't help it, he reached down to her underage ass, and squeezed. He heard her moan slightly, under her sobs. Oh my god... will Sarah be this hot at 13? I hope so. I will have to make sure she drinks lots of my cum while she is a child... maybe that's why Erin is so fucking hot, all that cum she must have drank... "Erin," he whispered, feeling her body. "I want to make love to you."
"Oh Steven," she sighed, kissing him. "You can make love to me forever."
They started out sweetly, touching, caressing, but soon Steven had her moaning on her hands and knees while he looked down at her small ass... her young ass... realizing his two hands were more than the width of her under developed hips. He loved watching his glistening cock slide in and out of her pussy from behind.... her tight 13 year old pussy is dripping wet for my grownup cock....
She cried his name as they came together again, and he buried himself to the balls in her young body as he filled her with cum, splashing against her closed cervix and the womb carrying his child.
After she left his head was spinning, thinking about all the new possibilities now that he knew she was only 13.... all the different kinky things he wanted to do to a little girl. He was so preoccupied thinking of ways to abuse Erin's underage pussy that he forgot all about letting Sarah lick Air-win's juices from his cock again, like she had last Thursday. That would have gotten him life in prison instead of the meager 15 years to which he was sentenced.

Karen walked into the conference room and they closed the door. The PI was there, one person sitting at a computer monitor, and an older man in an expensive looking suit. On the screen Karen saw a close-up image of her husband's face, and nothing else.
"Is this man your husband? the investigator asked.
"Yes," she answered. The investigator looked at the older man, who nodded.
"Karen, what you are about to see is sexually explicit. If you want to take our words for it fine, we can close out our business and take the next step. But, we decided as our client, we would give you the chance to see the video first, before we take that next step. What do you wish?"
Karen collapsed in the empty chair, and sighed. "Just show me."
"Go ahead," he said to the computer tech, who hit a key, and suddenly the image that had been zoomed in now showed the whole room... her bedroom. It was a still frame of Steven lying in bed with what looked like a hot blonde, who was riding him, but Karen couldn't see her face. She looks petite, too. Fucker.
The tech pushed another key, the video was unpaused and the blonde was clearly riding him, and they were vocal with each other, and they were clearly having sex. The tech hit another key to pause it. "Clearly, he's caught being unfaithful. But we got more on the recording than we had anticipated. If we had been monitoring this live, we would have done things differently... but we checked it after the fact, and we found this." The tech hit another key, and the recording jumped to a point in the timeline that Karen saw had a little tick mark on it, like a bookmark. The blonde was now lying on his chest, talking. She's prettier than me, and younger. Figures. The blonde was talking, "I was 10 years old when I lost my virginity..." skip ahead. "He was our neighbor, and I know I loved him." Skip ahead to Steven, "You're only 13?" "Yes." "Why did you wait until we... made love...before you told me?" "I wanted one more time with you, in case you told me to leave." They paused the recording, Karen was covering her mouth, eyes wide.
"Karen, up to this point there's wiggle room.... she clearly lied to him about her age. That wouldn't get him off of any jail time, but at least he clearly didn't know. There's not usually a video confession of an underage girl saying she had lied about her age. However...." and they pushed to the next bookmark, Steven riding the underage blonde girl from behind, both of them moaning in pleasure. They paused the recording, Erin looking up at the ceiling arching her back, Steven pulling her long blonde hair back, mid-thrust.
"Why did you go back in the timeline?" Karen asked.
"We didn't, this happened after that conversation." He paused to let her process that.
"He found out she was 13.... and he had sex with her again?" She was incredulous.
"Yes."
He sat down next to her. "If we had been watching it happen live, we would have called the police immediately as a crime was in progress. But, we saw it after the fact. Here he is now, live." He pushed a button, she saw her daughter sitting at the end of the couch playing ponies, Steven unknowingly walked by the camera. He's probably cooking dinner. He sat next to Sarah, "Mommy's late, honey!" came his voice loud and clear, and they saw him typing on his phone. Suddenly, the phone in Karen's bag was ringing.
The PI said, "Tell him you are stuck at work, you will be there in about an hour. Sound relaxed."
She did as she was told, they watched him on the screen as he talked to her, in the room. The conversation lasted long enough for him to answer, "Ok, be safe," and they hung up.
"We need to report this to the police, right now. We inadvertently recorded the rape of a child, and that is the creation of child pornography according to Florida law. That puts us under a microscope, so we need to call immediately. In fact, they were called as soon as you arrived, and should be here any minute to observe this video, and I imagine they will be heading over immediately to arrest your husband. We..."
And he was interrupted by the older man in the room. "I was hoping to have you here when the police arrived, I was hoping they would let you take the little girl out before they arrested her father so she didn't have to watch. This kind of thing can be hard on children."
She nodded to him, and looked back at her husband on the screen. "You bastard," she said softly. "You complete bastard."
Almost as an afterthought, "And try to help that poor girl he was raping."
++++
It worked as they planned, Karen used the key on the door and went in, leaving the door open behind her. She immediately went to the couch and scooped up Sarah, "Hi Mommy I missed you!" but Karen was already heading back out the door with her as Steven looked at her in confusion. As soon as she was back in the hallway the waiting police burst into the apartment and Steven spent his last few minutes as a free man having hand cuffs put on him, wondering what was happening... but he had an idea. He knew he'd better keep his mouth shut until he talked to a lawyer.

A police detective was working the scene that very night, he wanted to find the blonde girl he'd seen talking about how she'd been involved in a child sex ring called "The Circle." It took him almost 10 minutes of looking over the apartment building's security cameras before he found her arriving at the apartment at 10am, and he reversed it until she left the elevator. It took him three minutes to find the camera showing her entering the elevator one floor down, 20 seconds earlier on the timeline. He played it backwards until he saw her leave her apartment, where she lived with her widowed mother.
