Aprils Kiss Finale

Aprils Kiss Finale

By Cathy Brockman

 Kelsey Glares at me, looking more and more like her mother and me.

“I’m really surprised at you Dad!” The angry tone of her voice didn't help the throbbing in Brice’s temples or ache in his heart.

Covering his face with his hands, Brice slumps onto the sofa like a child being scolded by his parents.

“ I've had a rough night Kels. Let me go smooth this over with April, so I can go lay back down.” His voice has a note of pleading and agitation.

“Just let me say this, since you are either too blind to see, or too stupid to comprehend.” She looks at Brice cautiously as if testing the waters, stepping back slightly as if he may strike her. Seeing her dads look of resignation she jumps back in.

“You don’t know how hard this is for her. She is so lost, though she hides it well. She doesn't want you to feel sorry for her. Dad she really cares for you, though I doubt it’s the love she thinks it is. Heaven knows I sure don’t get what she sees in you but hey it’s her life not mine. She is her happiest when she thinks she is doing something that pleases you. If you’re all that keeps her trying then at least for now don’t burst her bubble I’m not saying lead her on, but don’t shut her out right now.” She stops for a breath, glancing down the hall. She puts up her hand as Brice opens his mouth to speak.

“Let me finish before she comes out. Her moving in here was my idea not hers. You need her as much as she needs you. Sitting here alone isn’t good. Mom has been dead eight years. I don’t remember you having any serious relationships or even going out much for that matter. It’s time for you to man-up.”

“Kelsey, I had to work, take care of the house, the yard, you and even April. There was no time for anything else. I’m a big boy I can take care of myself.” Brice looks up anger showing in his eyes.

“Look, I’m not prying. You have been an excellent father, I have no complaints. I’m a grown woman now, and I’m not coming back home. Not permanently. I love you but you’re not the center of my world. You are hers and she needs you now. She doesn’t need another person making her feel worthless and kicking her out because they can’t deal with their own insecurities. Last night opened a few doors for you. You need to at least look into them,” She looks back down the hall at the closed doors, worry creasing her pretty brow.

Wow!  She sure has grown up! I think she is more adult than I am.

“I have to say the Colby thing shocked the hell out of me.” She lets out a little chuckle flopping down on the sofa beside Brice.

“Me too. Look hon, this was all dropped on me suddenly. I need time to think. You know how set in my ways I am. Change doesn’t come easy for me. I like simple. I like order.”

“I know dad but it’s time to loosen up.  Get a life. Have some fun. You’re not THAT old. And obviously pretty good looking to get two numbers in a couple hours without trying.” Kelsey makes a gagging motion and grins.

“Let me deal with this situation today. I better go talk to her and see if I can get my big foot out of my mouth. You’ve really grown up. Your mom would be proud of you. I am proud of you.” Forcing a smile he bends over, planting a quick kiss on top of Kelsey’s head, and then makes his way down the hall to Kelsey’s room where April is.  Guess we better clean and redecorate the guest room. I hope she doesn't want it painted bright red or black.

Brice knocks softly at the door. Once. Twice. No answer. Slowly opening the door, his heart leaps into his throat. April is dressed in jeans, a long loose sweater, no harsh eyeliner or bright red lipstick, looking like a sad, crushed little girl, not the edgy confident woman he is used to seeing.

“April. Can we talk?” He wants to just  pull her into his arms and make all the hurt disappear.

Red, tear-stained chocolate brown eyes slowly meet his with a slight nod and shrug of her shoulders.

“I’ll get a second job; find a place of my own. I won’t burden you.” Her usual vibrant sing-song voice sounds defeated.

“You’re never a burden.” Squatting down, he takes April’s chin in his hands, gently lifting it to meet his gaze.

“I’m not sure what else I can offer you, but you always have a home here. Have mixed feelings but I need time to sort through them. I have always thought of you as my daughter. I just don’t know if I can get past that and offer you anything more than fatherly love.” Swiping away a tear with his thumb Brice continues softly. “You caught me at a bad time this morning. I had just woken from an inappropriate dream. I was still half asleep, half hangover, and very confused. When you came in I wasn’t really sure what was dream and what was real. I reacted brashly. I’m sorry.”

April flings herself into his arms sobbing, and trembling like a leaf.

Leaning over he holds her and kisses her on top of her head, warring with whether to leave it like this or to kiss her.

After a few minutes, his legs throbbing from being crouched so long, he stands up pulling April with him.

“Go wash your face. I’ll get Kelsey and take you both for breakfast. Then we better go grocery shopping since my cupboards consist mostly of soups and cereal, and the freezer has only frozen meals. Perhaps stop at the home- store and let you pick out paint for the guest room and some new décor. Just no red or black paint on the walls please!”

April plants a quick chaste kiss on his lips then nods, smiling happily.

                                                                       ***

The first few weeks were tense but soon Brice and April got into a normal routine.

April kept the house clean, laundry washed and put away the way Brice likes it and had a good , hot meal cooked and on the table most nights by the time Brice got home from work. Afterwards they would talk about their day and maybe watch a movie. Some nights Brice would take her out to eat and maybe a movie or a shopping trip.

Brice had tried to talk her into going to college instead of getting a second job. They ended up compromising and April went to a beauty school instead. He agreed to help her open her own shop for a graduation gift.

A week or so after Kelsey returned to the city for college, Brice’s phone rings. Not recognizing the number he lets it go to voice mail, then listens to the message.

‘hey handsome. It’s Colby. Remember me from Stellar? I asked Kelsey for your number. Evidently you didn’t look at the back of the card I gave you with my number. Well, uh take a look at it. Then if you want call me back. If I don’t hear from you I won’t bother…’ the voice mail cut off. Dam a male version of chatterbox April. Just what I need.

Brice goes to his room and retrieves the crumpled business card that he threw in the trash not once, but twice, before reluctantly tossing it into his nightstand. He flips it over and sure enough there is a note written neatly on the back.

‘Don’t take this wrong. I’m not into one night stands or casual pickups. All I’m offering is a manly shoulder to lean on and an ear to listen. Call me anytime. Cole.’

Brice sits and stares at the card. The image of the handsome, friendly young man keeps running through his head for the next few days. Finally he breaks down and calls Colby back.

“Hi Colby. This is Brice.” Man do I sound lame?

“Hi. Glad you finally called.” Colby’s voice sounds tentative.

“I was wondering if you’d like to meet for that drink I believe I owe you.”

“Sure. When?” Colby’s voice takes on an air of excitement.

They make plans for that evening; April isn't really thrilled when Brice called to tell her he wouldn't be home for dinner  as he was going out with Colby. That evening turned into several repeats for the next couple weeks, then evolved into a couple of nights a week, usually one spent at Brice’s watching TV or movies.

One evening several weeks later Brice and Colby sat on the sofa watching the Die-hard movies, sharing a big bowl of popcorn. The diner April worked at wasn't busy so she came home early.

Seeing the two cozy on the couch, she tosses her purse and keys on the table by the door, storming to her room muttering something that sounds like; I can’t believe you chose HIM over me followed with a few expletives before slamming her door.

“What the hell?” Brice looks at Colby in confusion.

“I take it you still haven’t told her how you feel.” Colby washes down a bite of popcorn with his soft-drink.

How can I tell her what I am not even sure about? Brice looks at Colby then down the hall towards Aprils room.

“Dude. You have to tell her. You can’t keep her on a leash like this.” Colby picks up Brice’s hand cradling it gently.

Shit! Do they both think I have chosen them?

“Colby I don’t know what I feel.”

Leaning forward Colby kisses Brice on the cheek.

“I see the way you look at her. I have no delusions about the two of us. I know you are straight. I figured out weeks ago that you have it bad for April.” He takes Brice’s face into his hands. “Yeah I have real feelings for you, but I knew before we started hanging out that it’s just a guy thing for us. I knew it would never become anything more.”

How can he be so sure of my feelings for April when I feel so confused?

“Talk to her Brice. Soon. I think she is on the verge of giving up. Once she does, it will be too late. Don’t let the best thing that could ever happen to you slip through your fingers.” Colby brushes popcorn off his shirt as he stands. “Call me soon. OK?”

Brice stares bewildered as Colby shuts the door behind him.

April comes out her eyes widen in surprise seeing Brice sweeping popcorn and taking dishes to the kitchen sink. “I thought you left.”

“Where would I have gone? I live here remember?”

“I figured I messed up your plans for the evening by coming home early and the two of you went to his place to … uh whatever it is you do when I’m not here.” Her face flushes, her lips pursed tightly, eyes angry and hurt.

“Wha.. you think…”Brice stammers in shock.  “April. It’s not like that between Cole and me.”

“Oh its Cole now?  Sweet. Yeah you had me fooled. Seems like you can’t get enough of him lately. You spend more time with him now than you do me.”

Brice sits down heavily, once again confused by the two young people that factor so much in his life lately. How did this get so complicated? Sure he and Colby have gotten close lately, but evidently both Colby and April have come to some conclusions that Brice hasn't realized yet .But tonight one of them hit the nail on the head. It’s been  here right before his eyes the whole time. He is comfortable. Happier than he has been since Helen passed away eight years ago.

Without another thought he sweeps April into his arms, his lips crushing against hers madly. As she gasps in surprise his tongue dashes in. The rough kiss quickly turns into passion.

“I love you April. I have for a long time.” He whispers, his forehead pressed against hers.

“It sure took you long enough. I was ready to give up. I don’t know how to compete with a man.” April gazes into his eyes, the pain fading, the love and desire flowing back in.

“I’m not going to lie. I still have feelings for him that I am unsure of. This isn't going to be easy.”

April pulls away. He pulls her back next to him quickly.

“I’m sure how I feel about you, so let’s not worry about anything else right now OK  Let’s just live in the present.” Brice’s kisses her passionately, letting his entire emotions flood into the kiss.

“OK.” April responds breathlessly.

The kiss turns heated quickly as tongues tangle and hands roam.

“Bed?” Brice whispers against her lips.

She nods, then smiling wickedly, grabs him by the hand, practically dragging him to the bed.

 He gazes at her lovingly now seeing the beautiful woman she has become. Since she moved in she has started wearing less makeup and gotten rid of all the piercings except for the one in her belly button and the one in her tongue. He slowly removes her clothes, touching and caressing her beautiful bare skin.

They kiss and fondle each other Brice surprised by April’s sudden shyness.

“Don’t you want this?”

She nods nervously as Brice’s worships her body with his hands and tongue, teasing her mercilessly. She shudders, screaming out his name as he brings her not once but twice with his fingers and tongue.

After she catches her breath she begins inching her way down his body with her mouth blazing a trail of heat. He grabs her head just as her hands circle his hard shaft, her lips parting to taste him.

“Not now baby. I want to make love to you.”

She gazes up at him her eyes full of want and desire mixed with a touch of fear. She swallows hard and quietly nods.

“Where do you keep your condoms? Bedroom or bathroom?”

“Um…I don’t have any. Don’t you?” Brice sighs.

“Mine? Why would I have any? You have shown absolutely no interest in me physically.” She sounded both shocked and disappointed, and perhaps a little relieved.

“You do use protection don’t you?” Brice’s eyes widen.

“For what? Oh! MY GOSH! You think I’m some sort of a slut? That I go around sleeping with just anyone?” April hops out of the bed grabbing the comforter and wrapping it protectively around her bare body. Anger marring her pretty face. “I’ve saved my self all these years and you think I’m an easy whore?” She grabs her clothes as she hurries toward the bathroom.

Brice feels like he has been hit with a sledgehammer. How could I not see it? How could I not know that she had eyes only for me? Was I really that blind?

“What? NO! I don’t think that. Wait! You saved yourself for me?” Jumping up quickly Brice grabs her by the arm, pulling her back into his arms.

“Honey. I’m honored. But I had no idea you felt this way towards me. I thought all along it was just playful flirtations. Perhaps even a little crush. I never realized you loved me enough to wait for me.” He covers her mouth in a soft kiss slowly working deeper, easing her back on the bed, kissing, caressing gently.

“You’re on the pill right?” He breathes huskily into her ear, nipping and sucking eliciting small moans from her.

She nods.

“Fine, you’re a virgin, on the pill, and I haven’t been with anyone in over a year and used a condom then we should be fine.” He starts working his way back down her body kissing, pausing a moment to relish the feel of her hard nipples in his mouth, gaining power every time she cries out in pleasure as he nips and tugs gently with his teeth.

“Slow down sailor. I love you and I want you more than anything in this world, but until I am positive about your feelings for me I can’t chance a slip up. Until I know you are absolutely sure about us and our future together you will suit up.” She smiles, once again getting to her feet and reaching for her clothes.

Wow she really is grown up. She is more adult than I am. Such a special young lady. How lucky can I be to have her?

“Where are you going, I thought you wanted this?”  Brice’s voice is full of both discomfort and disappointment.

“I do. That’s why I am going to the drugstore. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” She grins coyly.

Brice quickly grabs her pants from her as she lifts a leg to put them on.  She tumbles back onto the bed as he tosses them, pinning her to the mattress with his full body pressing tightly against hers.

“What are you doing?” She gasps.

“ I've changed my mind.” He whispers into her ear sexily, nipping and tugging at her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine, passion pooling between her thighs.

“What? It doesn't look like you’re leaving my bed.” She giggles as he uses his stubble to tease her hard, sensitive nipples.

“I’m not. Since you saved yourself just for me I want to make your first night very special. Until then, there are other ways we can please each other.” He raises up and shifts, positioning his groin over her face and his face over her. Tired of wasting time he dips down his tongue once again teasing and tantalizing her. He moans into her as she starts returning the favor. He moans as her tongue tortures him slowly, the metal cone a stark but pleasurable contrast to the wet velvet of her tongue. As she screams his name around his thick shaft, shaking violently from her orgasm he finds himself on the edge of the precipice and groaning in submission he lets go and falls over the edge.

April's Kiss special addition

Aprils Kiss Special Edition episode 4

 By Cathy Brockman

I would like to acknowledge a dear friend and fan of mine. Since I like to make you all happy and I do listen to you, here is a special edition. Thanks to Faith Ann Whitten for the steamy idea for the dream scene I hope you like what I did with your idea!

Brice barely remembers getting home. The ride, getting a shower and then tumbling into bed in nothing but boxers were all a drunken haze.  The last thing he remembered was staring at the ceiling trying to make sense of the night. He went out to get laid and came home with two phone numbers for more than casual lays and April as a permanent house-guest. Then he closed his eyes and drifted off to dreamworld.

The door opens then shuts. There is a soft click of the door being locked before the light flicks on nearly blinding me. Rubbing my eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden change, I hear soft music start to play. Swallowing hard my gaze is transfixed on the illusion in front of me. April dances a few feet from my bed, dressed in one of those naughty schoolgirl outfits. You know the one, the way too short plaid skirt; almost see through white button up blouse with a sexy red bra showing through that barely hides her small but firmly rounded breasts. Long white socks just over the knees complete the ensemble. She gyrates seductively hands roaming her body, mimicking what she would like my hands to be doing to her.  She slowly unbuttons the shirt leaving it hanging open; exposing that beautiful, white flesh that is begging to be explored.

 She slips the top of the bra down exposing one perfect, hard nipple, pinching it, tossing her head back moaning.

“Do you want this Daddy?” She rasps; her voice needy, full of want.

“Please don’t call me Daddy. I want you so much, but you’re right. I practically raised you. I AM sort of your daddy. This is so wrong.”  My voice comes out a soft whisper as I try to convince her why we shouldn't do this, or am I trying to convince myself?

She continues caressing the exposed nipple in one hand; the other is sliding slowly up her thigh, lifting her skirt, moving closer and closer to the place that would bring her release and so much pleasure. Knowing that in her release I would find my own, as the heat pools inside me.

 She spread her legs arching to the music, giving me a peek at the tiny wisp of fabric barely covering the treasure trove I ached so badly to see, to touch, to taste, to slip inside and feel her heat  surround me.  I try to look away, to try to not want to, but her gasp and seductive chuckle keep my eyes riveted.

“Face it. You want this as much as I do, Da…. Sir.”  She dips her finger under the red lace thong .

 “You do want this.” She says as a statement just before she puts her wet finger in her mouth licking, her cheeks hallowing as she begins to suck it. I do want her. I have for a long time but not like this; not just a toy.

 My mouth goes dry, I’ve never wanted anything so bad in so long. She is like that forbidden fruit; you know you shouldn’t sample. I come totally unglued. In one swift movement I am out of the bed, and standing before her. She removes the finger from her mouth and extends it to mine. As my tongue darts out to taste it she chuckles, jerking it way, reaching behind her with both hands to unfasten the bra.

“No! Stop! Don’t speak unless I ask you something! The hungry command in my voice stuns us both as I roughly grab her arms, jerking her into me. She gasps as our bodies collide and my hands fumble at the closure on the back of her bra.

I gently pepper each shoulder with butterfly kisses as I slide the shirt and bra over her shoulders, down her arms. then push her back as I toss the garments toward the chair by the door, not even caring that I miss. I briefly admire her beautiful body, bare from the hips up standing, lan offering before me.

“How do you want me? Against the wall? On the bed?” She starts to unfasten the single button holding the skirt on her curvy form.

“I thought I told you not to speak. Leave it!” I bat her hands from the button, grabbing her I sit back on the bad flipping her over my knees.

Bent over my lap, the short skirt raises baring two gorgeous voluptuous globes; a hint of red strap barely peeks from the valley leading to a small wisp of lace holding the thong in place.

“You’re such a bad girl.”  I smack each cheek twice rapidly, then gently rub them to sooth the sting. My cock straining beneath us, threatening to explode. 

She presses her hips down, grinding against me.

I rapidly slap her ass twice more. ”So wonderfully bad!” I toss her up onto the bed straddling over her. Her beautiful brown eyes; deeper, richer, than usual, behind fluttering lashes as she battles to keep them open, to watch.

Her tongue darts out to wet her dry lips, the hoop in her bottom lip gone, but a small silver cone still in her tongue. My dick twitches as I try to imagine what that will feel like working over my hard hot flesh. I lean down, caressing one small but firm orb with my lips, my tongue teasing the hard nipple. I circle it slowly wanting to lavish every inch of her, but that’s for another time.  I Take it  between my teeth, nipping and tugging, eliciting a gasp of surprise; pain mixed with pleasure. Satisfied with the combination I continue my torture of her lovely breasts, first one then the other, nipping and sucking. Her wanton moans, urging me to continue doing the things I have wanted for a while but have been trying so hard to ignore. I can’t hold back any longer. Her teasing has just been too much. I am man, human after all.

I reach down and pull off my boxers, tossing them to the floor. I move up pinning her arms down to her side with my knees, my pulsing cock bobbing near her chin.

“Suck me, show me what that tongue ring feels like on my dick.” I shove both pillows under her head raising it so she can get to me; I grasp the headboard with both hands for support. 

Carnal moans escape my throat as she teases, licking the length, then my balls, back up the shaft. The small hard piece of metal in the soft velvety midst of her tongue sends mixed  sensations of pleasure and pain through me.  I cry out as the tiny cone dips in the slit almost losing my control and coming. 

“Stop! Gonna come! “ She pays me no minds as she takes me deep in her mouth sucking.

I try to pull away. She pulls her arms from between us and grasps my hips tightly, holding me there as she brings me to a roaring climax. It’s all I can do to hang on to the headboard not collapsing on her, suffocating her.

All of a sudden I hear another door open. I was sure she locked the bedroom door. My eyes dart towards the bathroom door, a tall slender figure barely illuminated by the light.

“No fair. You started without me.” Colby drops the towel wrapped around his hips and places his knees on the bed.

“Can I join in?” He leans forward, his mouth finding mine, slowly, deeply, he kisses me.

“Please.” I murmur beneath his soft lips as his tongue enters, dancing against mine.

April’s body tenses beneath me. I feel her pushing to get me off.  I sit gently down on her trapping her. I pull away from Colby momentarily.

“Be still. I ‘m not done with you. You disobeyed me. Made me come. Now you wait. I’ll take care of you soon enough.”

I turn back to the handsome man in front of me and breathe helplessly into his lips.

“Suck me. Make me hard again.”  I rearrange us so Colby can get on the bed, his mouth on my demanding cock and I can reach Aprils hot ,wet,  core  As Coby’s tongue explores my cock, I explore her heat with my fingers watching both these beautiful people, listening to their cries of pleasure, so eager to please me, trying to decide what I want.  Such a tantalizing decision to make. But I can’t really have both can I?

My eyes flutter open as hot spurts of liquid cover my stomach and chest. I awake finding myself in my bed alone. Thank heavens!

 As I remember the dream nausea overwhelms me. I jump from the bed barely making it into the bathroom before streams of bitter, stale beer and bourbon erupt.  I don’t hear the bathroom door open or the water turn on in the skin as I continue gagging and heaving. A cool cloth covers my forehead as a soft voice stuns me back to reality.

“You OK Daddy B?”

 I jump as if I've been burned at the sound of Aprils voice, nearly knocking her to the floor.

“April! What the HELL!”  I let out a small sigh of relief as I notice she is wearing pajamas and not the racy school girl costume. Whew it WAS just a dream.

“You can’t just come into my bedroom, uh..or bathroom without knocking! If you’re gonna stay here with me we are going to set some rules, some boundaries, or you’re gonna have to go! I can’t do this!” My voice sounds panicked and harsh.

 She looks at me dazed and confused, tears welling in her eyes as she drops the cloth into my lap and turns running out the door sobbing.

Shit what have I done? I start to head out after her when a cool breeze reminds me I am naked and covered in puke and semen. I jump in the shower and rinse quickly, grabbing the robe I keep on the door and hurriedly head out the door, barreling right into Kelsey. Can this day get any worse?

 I steady her and try to move around her but she grounds herself reaching out blocking my path.

“What the fuck Dad? I can hear your yelling through my door.”

“I had a dream, got sick, April barged in the bathroom. Shit I have to talk to her.”

“Not yet Dad first you and I need to have a serious heart to heart!” Her voice held that ‘you’re not going anywhere until you listen to me tone’ her mother used to get.

My head is pounding my stomach roiling, I am confused enough, I don’t need my twenty one year old daughter telling me what to do. What I need is a drink.

 Leave a comment and let us know what you thought about Faith Ann’s suggestion to add a bit more heat! What will Brice Do? Will April stay? Where does Colby factor in?  Be sure to check back Friday for the conclusion of Aprils Kiss.

Aprils Kiss Chapter 3

Aprils Kiss Chapter Three

By Cathy Brockman

Brice grinds his teeth nervously. He really doesn’t like bars at all, but he knows of a nicer one not far from his house with a decent cab service. It is also one that is frequented by business people and more people like him; older, divorced or widowed just looking for some company and perhaps a quick lay. It’s not really a hangout for younger people, and it’s a bit pricey to keep the clientele a bit more upscale. It isn’t really a place Kelsey or April would probably want to go to.

“I was planning to go to Thirty Plus since it’s close to home. I doubt you girls would find it interesting.”

Kelsey wrinkles her nose.

“Thirty Plus?  Does anyone actually go there?” Kelsey looks out the car window in deep thought.

April doesn’t say anything just sitting contentedly next to Brice. As long as he is there she is happy, though she is afraid to let him know how she feels. Yet anyways. Maybe if she keeps up the flirting he will get the idea soon enough.  He will probably go through the roof when Kelsey springs the surprise to him later this evening, so she doesn’t want to push her luck. Any moments she can steal with him make her happier than they should.

“How about Stellar instead. It is pretty classy and still a little higher priced, but closer to the kind of people you’d find at Thirty Plus and some of us college kids that aren’t into the raging drunk and getting high scene. I know it’s still a good twenty to thirty minutes from home but April won’t be drinking so she can drive. If you’re worried about getting laid; there is a good motel next door.  Just be sure to tell me you’re leaving and be back by closing time so we don’t worry.” Kelsey glances at April who is getting a bit red-faced.

  Kelsey is pretty sure April has more than a crush on her dad but for now she needs to get it under control, at least until they get him relaxed and drop the news on him.   A drink or two is just the ticket to ease into that conversation.

“You sound-like you have been there a few times. I hope you aren’t spending too much time in the bars Kels, when you need to  be studying.” Brice notices April is unusually quiet.

“You asleep?  How does that sound to you?”  He nudges her playfully.

“What? Us getting a motel room while Kelsey gets drunk on syrupy cocktails and chats with the preppy dudes?  Sounds great to me.”  She squeezes Brice’s knee and gives him a flirty wink.

He swallows hard. Shit this is not going to be an easy night, and I am tired of cold showers and porn on the computer. Perhaps it’s time I join one of those dating sites and actually try to find me someone serious. I am getting too old for these games and tired of being alone. Kelsey probably won’t move back in full time after college. It is time I move on I suppose.

“APRIL! Please, that’s just gross! Now I will have nightmares of you doing nasty things to Dad in the motel! Can’t you control your flirting until we get to Stellar? Then you can latch onto some hottie and dance the night away as usual.”

Stellar isn’t too busy yet since it’s early. They luck out and get a parking place close by. From the outside the place doesn’t look too stellar.  It’s actually much nicer inside, with a long bar across the entire back that covers about three fourths of the place. To the far right in the corner is a stage with a band setting up.  To the far left appears to be a smaller room with small tables with rows of sofas along the wall. There are a few people back there with their laptops and phones.  There are plenty of tables in assorted sizes in front of the bar and around the dance floor. It is so similar in set up to Thirty Plus that Brice wonders if it’s not owned by the same people.

After they get a table and order drinks, April takes off to go sing karaoke and dance, though Brice notices she doesn’t look as happy as she had before they got back in the car after shopping.  I wonder why she is upset. Why am I all of a sudden so interested in April and her feelings?

Brice sips his beer slowly opting for beer instead of hard liquor which he actually wanted. But since he had the girls with him his plan’s changed. No way was he going to slip over to the hotel with a total stranger for a quickie.  He is surprised Kelsey is drinking so much.  Hmm I would have figured April the one to drink and party and Kelsey to be the innocent one.

His gaze travels to the dance floor and finds April gyrating and swirling. Her mood seems to have improved a great deal since they got here. Well maybe she is still the wild child. Brice chuckles to himself, orders himself another beer and April a fresh soda.

“Kels. I am going to the restroom.  See if April wants something to snack on and order us all some Appetizers. You know I want some medium hot wings. You can order one more for yourself then you’re gonna slow down or pay for your own a while.” I better keep food in my stomach I sure don’t want to get too drunk.

“Ok Dad. Don’t start in on my drinking. I only do it on the weekends. I am a grown up now and it’s my life. Back off and worry about getting a life of your own.”  She rolls her eyes and heads to the dance floor to talk to April.

In the restroom, Brice tries to will down his semi erect dick so he can take a leak. He notices the man  at the urinal beside him looking just a bit too much and hurriedly  finishes his business and heads to the sink to wash his hands. Much to his dismay the younger man follows him. I’m making something out of nothing. He is just doing  the same as I am, I’m being paranoid.

“Hi! I’m Corey.” The young man appears to be in his early thirties, very handsome. Tall slender, broad shoulders, sandy brown hair, hazel eyes.

“Brice.” Brice shakes the hand extended to him, feeling a bit nervous but not sure why. Then he notices the man’s gaze trailing over his body as if thoroughly checking him out.

“Sorry. I don’t generally ogle men in the restroom, but I couldn’t help but notice you. Are you here alone?”

 “No I am here with my daughter Kelsey and her best friend and my sort of daughter April.”

“Sort of daughter?” Corey chuckled softly; the sound was warm and soothing like a slow rain on a warm spring day.

“Yeah she has been with my daughter since they were about 5. She spent more time at my house than she has her own so I kinda unofficially claim her as a daughter.”

“So let me guess the one with the lighter hair is yours the one with the piercings and black hair is April?”

“Yeah and both are single and as far as I know neither are even seeing anyone.” Brice eyes the door trying to figure out how to politely take an exit.

“Actually neither of them are exactly my type. I am much more interested in you. I couldn’t help notice you were a bit worked up when you first came in. I’d be more than happy to help you out with that.” Colby’s eyes trailed back to Brice’s nether region.

Brice shifts uncomfortably, trying to not look too surprised but he can tell by the big smile and soft chuckles coming from the other man that he failed miserably. Did he just proposition me? Surely this is just a joke.

“Step into the handicap stall and I can suck you or jack you off if you’d like.” Colby licks his lips suggestively.

Brice glances down the man’s body and see’s he is sporting a massive hard on. Fleetingly he wonders what it would be like to have the handsome man’s lips on his once again rising erection. Why on earth am I getting hard over a man asking to suck me? Why in hell am I even considering it? Because I am so damn horny; and a man, and getting off seems to be all I can think of since April and Kelsey showed up last night.

Brice’s shock must have been obvious from the look of disappointment on Colby’s face.

“Ah. You have never been with a man have you?”

Brice slowly shakes his head.

“Well I’d be more than happy to be your first. Think about it. I’ll be around most of the night.” Colby adjusts himself and heads out the bathroom door.

 Brice leans onto the sink grasping it tightly with both hands; partly to steady him-self and partly to stifle the urge to go grab Colby and jerk him into the stall. He stands a few minutes trying to get his wits and let his hard on pass, and then goes back out to the table. Both girls are sitting there already munching on hot wings and cheddar fries.

“Damn Dad we thought you fell in. Did you slip out to the hotel?” Kelsey chuckles drunkenly and April glares.

What is April’s problem this evening? Why do I care?

“No just was chatting with someone.”  Brice feels his cheeks flushing.

“Colby? Something you want to tell me dad? Is this why we haven’t seen you with a woman lately? You switching teams?” Kelsey chuckles as she wipes a bit of cheese off her lips.

“Your dad isn’t gay!” April speaks a bit loudly.

“SHHH!” Both Kelsey and Brice say simultaneously.

“Well you’re not are you?” April looks at Brice with a mixture of anger and disappointment in her eyes.

“No I am not gay or bi or whatever it is you all call it.”  Brice picks up a hot wing and starts eating.

 “From the gorgeous gay guy at the bar.” The waitress appears with another beer and a business card

“I was going to leave you my number but looks like I may not be your type.” She winks.

“I’m not gay. You better take it back to him.”

“Ah nothing wrong in taking the drink and card. Corey is a sweetheart and very open. He also told me to tell you he would like to just be friends.” She picks up a clean napkin and jots down a name and number.

 “Looks like you just made two new friends tonight.” She smiles mischievously as she walks away.

“Wow Dad I didn’t realize how popular you are.  Maybe you should call them.”

“Both?” Brice stares down at the two numbers in disbelief.

“Yeah why not? Colby is nice and he isn’t pushy. He won’t press you for more. Now Jillie is another story. I haven’t known her to hit on an older man, but she may be sincere since the guys she normally dates aren’t very well off so perhaps she really is attracted to you. It wouldn’t hurt to call her and meet for a drink or burger or something. It never hurts to have a few friends to hang out with.”

“Why don’t you stay out of your dad’s love life Kels. I am sure he doesn’t need advice from his daughter on that.” April’s voice is harsh and sharp.

“Have you talked to him about ‘you- know- what’ yet? April changed the subject quickly.

“Maybe I should at least go thank him for the beer and let him know I’m not upset?” Brice folds the napkin and puts it and the business card into his pocket.

“Ask him Kels.” April gets up and heads back to the dance floor her mood once again dark and sad.

“What’s wrong with April?  She seemed fine all day today but since we got here she hasn’t been in a very good mood. Do you think she didn’t want to come here?”

“She likes coming here dad. She is just going through some stuff at home. Can I talk to you for a minute before you go flirt with the sexy gay man?” Kelsey giggles as she waggles her eyebrows.

“Sure go ahead. And for your information I am not going to flirt with him, though I think I will keep an open mind and maybe see if he wants to be friends as long as he knows nothing else will ever happen.” At least I  don’t think nothing else will happen. Perhaps I should call Jillian too. She isn’t bad looking and looks to be at least in her early thirties. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll also sign up for the online dating service too.

“Are you listening dad?” Kelsey gives his arm a gentle shake.

“Sorry hun. It’s been a crazy day. Go ahead was there something you needed to ask?”

“It’s about April. You know how her mom is right?”

“Yeah if she hasn’t changed she was always a bit on the wild side.”

“She has only gotten worse. In the past couple years she has started drinking more and doing some drugs. I’m not sure what drugs but April says she has some pain killers and sleeping pills she takes and drinks too. Anyway, last month she started dating this guy that is about late twenty’s, he drinks way too much and is probably  staying there to get some of the drugs among other things. He doesn’t work, doesn’t plan to and he has been hitting on April.” Kelsey spit it all out in one fast breath.

“Wait. What do you mean hitting on April? Beating her?” Brice looks back to the dance floor to see April watching them nervously as she dances. Her mood still a little bleak looking.

“I don’t think he has beaten her though he has held her tight enough to leave a bruise on her arm. He has groped her and kissed her. He tries to get into her bedroom. She keeps it locked and props a chair under the handle, but the entire time her mom is out he harasses her and tries to get her in bed.“ Kelsey stops to take the last sip of her drink and looks imploringly at her dad.

“Ok I’ll get you another then perhaps we should head home. I’m suddenly feeling overwhelmed by the evening.” He motions the waitress over and orders another round and a drink for Colby with a thanks and his number on a napkin.

“I don’t get a number?” Jillian feigns a frown.

“Knock it off Jillie. Just copy the number from the napkin. I know you were going to anyway.” Kelsey rolls her eyes.

“Me? I’d never steal a hot man’s number.” She winks and wiggles her hips suggestively as she heads off to place their order.

“Has April told her mom?” Brice turns back to Kelsey, concern in his voice.

“Yes. The bitch actually went off on April and told her she is sick of her slutty ways and tired of her stealing every man she brings home.”

Brice almost chokes on his beer.

“April doesn’t really do that does she? I mean steal her mom’s boyfriends.”

“Dad I am ashamed you even asked that. You have known April since she was a little girl. You know her better than that.  Don’t tell me you are a judgmental moron like her mom?” Kelsey sounds like she is ready to strike out at someone.

“Calm down Kels. I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just, well you know April is extremely flirty and maybe the men being younger take it wrong.” Brice places a hand on top of Kelsey’s.

“I’m sorry Dad. But she showed up at my place Thursday all in tears and scared shitless. Her mom kicked her out. She has nowhere to go. I live on campus so she can’t stay with me.” Tears start to form in Kelsey’s eyes.

Brice quickly swigs down the rest of his beer, not liking where this conversation seems to be heading.

“Can she stay with you Dad? At least until we can figure something out? She doesn’t make enough waiting tables to get a place of her own. Maybe if she stays at our house a while she can save up for deposits and stuff and find a better job or a second one?”

Brice spews the mouthful of beer he was trying to swallow. April living with me? I can’t just put her out on the streets.

“Ok. Kels, but only until she can get on her feet. She better put the money up and try to make an effort though.”

The waitress stops by to see if they need anything else. 

April returns to the table and takes a long swig of her watered down soda, looking at Kelsey as if they are having a psychic conversation

Sweat pops out on Brice’s forehead as he contemplates a few months of living under the same roof as April. He looks up at the waitress, “Bourbon. Make that a double.”

April's Kiss--- Chapter 2

April’s Kiss

Chapter 2

By Cathy Brockman

IHOP, Dairy Queen

After the run April slips into Kelsey’s room to wake her and get a shower as Brice goes into his for a nice cold shower. He resolves to go out and get laid tonight after the shopping trip with the girls, especially if April is spending the night which he is sure she probably is.

Brice steps into the shower and shivering as the cold water hits his  burning skin. Why is this young girl getting into my head and arousing me so? This isn't good.

Brice steps into the shower and shivering as the cold water hits His burning skin. Why is this young girl getting into my head and arousing me so? This isn't good. As he soaps up his hands running over his skin the touch heightens his arousal. All he can think of is April bent over warming up.  His cock aches. His soapy hand turns to a hard caress. He thinks of April bent before him her ample ass naked and inviting. He grabs her hips pulling her towards him, shoving his hard cock into her, pounding, her begging for more.  His balls tighten and he comes hard. Shaking from both the cold and his release he warms the water, rinses, his cock is soft but he feels no better.  What the hell am I thinking? She is just a child. There are plenty of women wanting me but I haven’t even though of anyone in particular until now. Why April of all people?

After his shower he puts on a nice fitting pair of jeans and a soft pullover shirt that hugs his trim body. The maroon color looks good with his lightly tanned skin, warm brown hair and  hazel eyes. He gives himself a once over in the mirror and smiles ,unbuttoning the top two buttons on the placket exposing a tuft of dark chest hair. Not too bad for a man approaching forty.

The girls were waiting in the living room. Kelsey still looking half a sleep and April her usual spry, playful self.  As he glances at April he feels his cheeks redden and his cock harden as the unbidden thoughts he had in the shower resurface.  

“Ready for breakfast or shall we do lunch since it will be nearly noon by time we get into town? I am assuming you girls will want to hit up the mall while we are out?”

“Let’s go somewhere that serves breakfast still like the IHOP or  a diner.  Is that cool with you April? I want some hotcakes and strawberries. “Kelsey stands and stretches with a big yawn.

“Sounds good to me. I love a good, big, hot, stack with a side of meat and of course whipped cream.” April looks at Brice licking her lip and giving him a playful wink.

“Gosh April it’s too early in the morning to be so crass.” Kelsey gives April a disgusted look.

“Kels. It’s almost noon some of us actually get up early. Besides   I wasn't being crass perhaps it’s you with the dirty mind.”  She gently smacks Kelsey’s shoulder.

“Okay girl’s lets go.” Brice grabs his keys falling in behind April as they file out the door.  Damn! What an ass! What the hell am   I thinking? She is half my age.

Brice can’t help but grin at the two girls. As different as night and day.  His Kelsey with her neat, shoulder length, light brown hair, green eyes, slim athletic build, and girl next door looks. Then April, with her shoe polish black hair, cut  in layers and spiky on top, thick eyeliner framing sapphire blue eyes,  dark red lipstick on her full mouth and a small hoop with a heart dangling on her bottom lip, a small crystal nose stud and a  ball in the center of her tongue.  She is an inch or so taller than Kelsey with full breasts and curvy hips.  She would be gorgeous with less makeup and maybe even without those piercings. But damn what would that ball in her tongue feel like running over my hard cock?  Bruce shudders involuntarily

“Earth calling Dad!  You seem to be on another planet.  Did you have other plans for the weekend? I guess I should have called before we came in. We hadn't really planned it though.”

“No honey. I didn't have any plans for the afternoon. But tonight I better make a visit to the local singles club. It’s always nice for you to come visit. It has been a while. You must have been pretty busy lately.” He pulls into a parking lot of a local restaurant.

“Is this one OK? I like their eggs Benedict and you girls can get any kind of hotcake plate you like. Plus it’s across form your favorite mall.”

Both girls nod, unbuckling their seat belts and scooting out of the crowded car. After a hearty breakfast and a fun afternoon at the mall they head back to the car.

“Dad what are you doing tonight?” Kelsey glances at Brice as she hands him the last of their bags to put in the trunk.

 “I was thinking about going out and having a drink or two before you girls came. So if you two have plans I think I still may do that.” Brice shuts the trunk and gets into the car.

The girls exchange a sly glance as April scoots in close to Brice making room for Kelsey as they had on the way to town. Brice protested once again though the girls just giggled and both got in front. He lost that argument as he had the on earlier with April and her skimpy jogging gear.

“Awesome! We can go with you!” April’s arms brush his as she slides the seat belt across her lap with a click.

“Er! I don’t know. I was going to a bar. For a drink. Alcohol.”  Lots of alcohol. And  to find a quick lay. Brice fidgets in his seat feeling closed in and aroused by the touch of April’s warm skin on his.

“Duh! We didn't think you were going for a root beer float at the Dairy Queen.” Kelsey elbows April roughly in the side.

“April, be nice! Dad we aren't little kids anymore. We are both twenty one and can drink. Besides if you’re planning to drink more than one drink you need a designated driver.’ Kelsey bats her eyelashes sweetly.

Clenching the wheel tightly with both hands, Brice nods in defeat.

“So I guess you are going to be the devoted daughter and chauffeur your tipsy dad around.”” “Me? No! April doesn't drink. She can chauffeur both of us.” Kelsey laughs.

I hope you are enjoying the story!  Do  you think Brice  can handle a  night at a bar  with April and Kelsey?What  do  you think is gonna happen? Is Brice too old for April? In case you missed last weeks episode  Aprils kiss chapter 1 you can find it here
