“Dad, what are you doing in here? It’s late”
I could have mumbled some kind of excuse. “I thought I heard a noise”, “I came in to check on you” or some such useless platitude. It would have been the safe course of action, the right thing to do. It would have saved everything, even my lost hopeless soul.
But I was a victim of my own lust, of my own depraved lust for my own daughter. I don’t even know when it started. But it had lasted too long. Or so I had decided. The secret masturbation sessions. The fantasies. The stolen photos. The vivid images of that day by the pool. When the mysterious boy tongue fucked her and then begged to put his bare dick inside of her. And she wanted it! She was just too scared to do it once more! She had done it before! All of it. It was too much. My lust had won. I don’t know when the fight started. But I know when it ended. It was at that point. When she asked “Dad, what are you doing in here?” and instead of retreating, I pushed forward.
