Man of the House: An Older Man Younger Woman Romance

by Sarah Rowling

  Really, Dani wanted to scream. Couldn’t he see through Liz’s act?

  “How about lunch, Liz? We gave the cook the week off, remember? Shall I go down to the deli and pick something up for you?”

  He was so pathetically eager to please Liz. Dani preferred to feel angry about it instead of being hurt that he was ignoring her.

  “Well, perhaps I could have a salad,” said Liz as if she was granting him a great boon of some sort.

  Finally, Richard turned to Dani.

  “Would you like me to get you something, Dani?”

  His voice was apologetic. Dani wanted to tell him exactly where he could shove his apology. What was wrong with him? Why was he acting like such a lost little puppy? Liz and he had had a fight, and Liz had stormed out. From what Dani had overheard, it sounded very much like Liz was in the wrong.

  And yet, here he was, trying to cater to Liz’s whims and fancies.

  Dani simply did not understand it.

  “I’d like a BLT,” said Dani.

  Liz glared at her. Dani pretended not to notice.

  But she knew that Liz loved BLTs, but didn’t have Dani’s metabolism. Dani hated to admit it, but she was jealous, and jealousy could make her quite petty.

  “With extra cheese and mayo. Full fat,” went on Dani.

  If that was all the petty revenge she could get, she would make it good.

  “And a milkshake. A choco-vanilla milkshake. With extra ice cream.”

  There, that should infuriate her mother, thought Dani, getting up and walking out the kitchen door.

  She wanted to break something. How could Liz be so selfish? She was treating Richard horribly. And why was Richard being so silly about it? Anybody could see that Liz didn’t deserve Richard. It was clear to Dani that Liz didn’t really love Richard, either. If you loved somebody, you couldn’t possibly hurt them that way, could you? Liz had obviously hurt Richard and showed no remorse for it.

  But by that same logic, how much could Richard care for her? He could see that he was hurting her. When he fluttered around Liz like that, he could see what that was doing to Dani.

  But he kept doing it, anyway. Could Dani have mistaken everything they had shared? She thought they had truly connected, beyond just sexual lust. She knew there was lust and desire there. She liked that. She was glad about that.

  But she wanted affection and understanding, too. They shared a lot of interests. They liked each other. They desired each other. Surely that meant, all put together, that he really cared for her?

  Maybe he was just deeply in love with Liz, thought Dani, feeling quite depressed at the thought. She knew that you couldn’t always love logically. She had always refused to use that word when she thought of Richard. But it had always been fluttering along the fringes of her mind. At least some part of her had accepted that at some point, she would have to face all of it.

  So maybe, illogical as it seemed, Richard truly loved Liz. No matter what Dani did, no matter what Liz did, that might not change.

  Dani felt a good sulk coming on, too. She couldn’t do it as well as her mother could, but when she really wanted to, she did a good job of sulking, too.

  Dani sat on a rock along the cliff and looked out over the ocean. She loved the view, she really did. It was beautiful. It had always calmed her down.

  No, she was letting herself get discouraged. She had come home with a plan, and look at how far she had gotten! If Richard really loved Liz, he wouldn’t have wanted Dani as much as he did. If he really loved Liz all that much, he wouldn’t have been so taken with her when they walked along the beach at dawn.

  Dani had to believe that. She had to trust what she had seen in his deep blue eyes when he had looked at her. It hadn’t just been desire. It had been more than that.

  But if she had to use the desire as a way to get him to admit to that, she would do that. The end sometimes did justify the means, thought Dani, and she then made her way back into the house.

  She would not give up. She wanted Richard. She would have him. Whether he liked it or not, she thought with a jaunty toss of her pretty head as she walked in again and breezed by her mother, without saying a word.

  Chapter Two

  Over the next week, Dani didn’t think she saw Liz more than twice. That was good, really. She was beginning to realize that she really did not like her mother. It was probably a good thing that Liz had sent her off to boarding school. She didn’t think Liz had a single maternal bone in her body.

  But the bad part was that she barely saw Richard, either. He went to work early in the morning and came back late at night. She cooked dinner for him and kept it hot. He was sweet to her, but he was obviously so tired out that he couldn’t pay any attention to her.

  Dani wondered just what she could do. She couldn’t afford to waste time like that. She needed to get time alone with Richard. She only had three more weeks before she had to go back to college. She didn’t want to go back without having done what she had come home to do.

  That evening, though, Dani found her window of opportunity when Richard came home at seven, far earlier than usual. Liz wasn’t home. That was turning out to be a regular state of affairs. Liz would come home late at night, from wherever she had been spending her time. Despite all that, Richard didn’t seem inclined to question her actions or ask for explanations.

  It was incredibly frustrating.

  Still, Dani cheered up when she heard his car drive up. She hadn’t spent the last few days as she had planned. Maybe now they could start fixing that little problem.

  Dani had a broad smile on her face when she opened the door to him. She didn’t care how it seemed. She walked right up to him and hugged him, pressing her body close to his.

  “I’m so glad you’re home,” she whispered, holding herself close to him.

  She wanted him to feel her. She wanted him to feel her young breasts against his chest. She wasn’t wearing a bra. She rubbed her breasts against his chest, letting the friction harden her nipples and send tingling shivers down her body.

  She felt Richard’s hands move down her body, glide down her back and cup her bottom. He rested his face against the top of her head. It was comforting, she realized, to offer comfort so easily, too.

  It could be like this. She wanted to tell him that it could always be like that between them.

  Hoping he would take the hint, she raised her face to him and looked deep into his eyes. She ran her tongue along her lips. She watched him as his eyes moved to her lips. The look was almost as potent as a kiss.

  “Richard, please… Kiss me,” whispered Dani.

  With a muffled groan, he bent his head towards her face and covered her lips with his. She tasted desperation when his tongue slipped inside her mouth and stroked, long and slow, along her tongue.

  Eager, she pressed closer to him, letting her leg move in between his. She moved her leg to let his cock rub against her directly. His hands tightened on her ass, squeezing.

  The kiss was unbroken as Dani slipped her hand between them and started rubbing his cock over his pants. She could feel it getting hard, and soon, she knew it was thick and long as it had been when she had sucked it.

  It had been so long. She wanted to suck his cock so badly. She wanted his hard cock inside her pussy this time. This time, she wanted him to fuck her. She wanted him to bend her over and fuck her as he had fucked Liz earlier that day.

  She wanted him.

  “Richard… Richard, please,” she whispered between heated kisses that sent her blood rushing so fast that she felt dizzy. His hands were now on her breasts. They were rubbing her hard nipples, making her tremble.

  Dani didn’t think she could keep standing. Her pussy was hot and wet, desperate for his tongue, for his cock. She needed him so badly.

  “Richard, I need you, please. I need you to fuck me. I need you to fuck me hard. I need you to come inside me, fill me up,” whispered Dani. She was so turned on, she hardly knew what she was saying. She just
knew that she needed him more than she had ever needed anybody in her entire life.

  Abruptly, he pulled back. But he didn’t move away. His hands held her waist as if he was unsure whether to pull her even closer to him, or push her away.

  “Dani… Dani, darling, we can’t do this. We can’t. It’s wrong,” said Richard.

  Dani looked up at him, her green eyes wide and desperate.

  “Why is it wrong? Why? I want you. I need you. I’ve needed you for so long. You want me, too. I can feel it. You’re not happy with Liz. I know you’re not. I can give you more. You can take me, however you want, Richard. You can bend me over like a little slut and spank me. You can make love to me tenderly. You can fuck me hard until you come inside me.”

  Dani’s words were turning him on too much. Richard knew he should just walk away. He should turn away, and forget about how her mouth had felt on his cock. How her tongue had skillfully pleasured him. How her lips had wrapped around him, when her sweet, round breasts had been on display for him. How she had fingered herself in front of him, so sensually, for him to watch and enjoy.

  With a groan, he bent to kiss Dani again in a madness of passion and Dani gloried in the possessiveness of his mouth and his hands.

  She had won. Finally, she had won.

  Chapter Three

  Richard boosted Dani up. She reveled in his strength as she locked her legs around him, bringing her wet pussy, covered only by the thin material of her cotton shorts, in contact with his hard cock.

  She moaned as his lips found sensitive spots behind her ears and all the way down her neck.

  She felt the world shift and found herself on her back, lying on the couch. Richard had moved away. With a cry of protest, she reached for him. But it turned into a hum of appreciation as she watched him undo the buttons of his shirt and slip it off.

  He had such a strong and toned body for a man in his thirties, thought Dani, as his shirt fell to the floor. Her eyes went to his crotch as he undid his belt and unhooked his pants, letting them drop to the floor.

  She knew his cock was perfect. She wanted it inside her.

  As he watched, she sat up and slipped her tank top off. For a moment, she wished she were wearing more so she could tease him. But when she ran her fingers around her nipples, then lifted her breasts up to lick her nipples, one after the other, she saw the bulge in his briefs get noticeably larger.

  Richard moved to her and pushed her back to lie on the couch again. He shifted over her, bringing his body into close contact with her bare, heated skin. His mouth moved to her breasts, licking and sucking on her nipples.

  Dani moaned and whimpered, squirming as his tongue and his lips did wonderful things to her breasts. Boys had nothing on men, she thought, almost delirious with pleasure, as he started grinding his cock on her. Her hips started moving of their own volition. She needed him.

  “Richard, I need you. I need you so much, oh, please,” she whispered as his lips closed on her nipple and started sucking on it. His fingers were on her other breast, squeezing gently, rubbing her nipple so softly that she could barely feel it, but the pleasure was everywhere.

  He moved up to cover her mouth with his, kissing her gently, as if he had all the time in the world. His tongue found hers and stroked it. His lips moved over hers softly. She felt him shift to lie on his side, cradling her against him.

  She felt his hand slip inside her shorts and trembled.

  “Oh yes, touch me, please. Touch my pussy. Feel how wet I am for you. Feel how much I need you,” she whispered between kisses.

  His fingers played with her lightly. He grazed her pussy lips as his fingers moved back and forth. Dani was nearly incoherent with pleasure. She could hardly believe that she could feel so much.

  When his fingers finally slipped between her pussy lips and made circles around her clit, Dani was whimpering incoherently. She begged for more.

  “Shhhh Dani, baby, just feel. Just feel and let go. Let me enjoy your pussy for a while. Let me pleasure you. You’re so hot and wet, Dani. Ah, Danielle,” whispered Richard.

  Dani clung to him, willing to let him take her. She wanted to feel everything. He rubbed her across her clit, making her almost lift off the couch. He rubbed gently, delicately, until Dani’s hips were moving under his touch.

  Dani felt her orgasm climbing, that steep climb that promised a dizzying tumble that she craved. He slipped his fingers inside her and she felt like she had fallen into an ocean of pleasure. She gasped his name, over and over again, as her pussy clenched around his fingers.

  Richard could take it no longer. He slipped his briefs off and moved over her.

  “Danielle… I need you. Look at me, baby,” he said.

  Dani thought she could drown in his blue eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she felt his cock at her opening, probing her gently. He teased her, entering her ever so gently, just a little bit, pulling back again until Dani’s eyes and mouth pleaded for more and more.

  Finally, he pushed all the way inside her and started moving, slowly and steadily.

  “Faster, please, Richard, fuck me harder,” said Dani.

  Richard’s control broke at that point. He needed her too much. He thrust into her hard and fast, over and over again. Her hips pumped, meeting his thrusts and demanding even more, urging him even higher.

  “Danielle… I’m going to come,” gasped Richard as he felt her body tense and shudder, her arms gripping him like a vice.

  He buried his face in her neck as he finally, finally, found oblivion and emptied deep inside of her.

  He collapsed on top of her, completely spent. Dani held him, her arms wrapped around him lovingly.

  This was what she had always wanted, thought Dani. This was what she had always sought. She had imagined it so many times. But she had never known just how wonderful it could be.

  “That was wonderful,” she whispered, her hands tracing random patterns on his back.

  “I’m too heavy,” said Richard, making no effort to move.

  “No. You feel perfect,” said Dani. The joy in her voice was obvious.

  Richard braced himself to look at her. He searched her face for regret or sadness.

  “You’re happy,” he said, finally.

  “Yes. I am. You’ve made me so happy,” said Dani with a smile.

  “You’ve made me happy, too.”

  “What the hell… You bastard! You fucking bitch! You cheating bastard!”

  Richard jumped up as if he’d taken energy boosters, trying to cover himself. Dani grabbed his shirt and pulled it on.

  Liz was back, and neither of them had noticed.

  Chapter Four

  Dani was stunned. But she was also a bit fascinated. All of Liz’s anger seemed to be focused on Richard. It was like Dani barely existed at all.

  “You bastard! You fucking bastard! This is what you’ve been doing every time my back was turned, isn’t it? How many women have you fucked?”

  “Liz… Liz, let me explain…”

  “What the fuck do you mean, explain? Oops, you slipped and your cock just accidentally slid right into her cunt, right? How many other cunts have you accidentally slid your cock into?”

  Liz was livid. Dani started edging away while her attention was focused elsewhere.

  “Liz, listen! You haven’t been happy with me!”

  Richard couldn’t possibly have said anything worse. Even Dani cringed when she heard that.

  “So you decided to make me happy by fucking my daughter?”

  Her voice was a high-pitched shriek now.

  “Let me tell you something, you two-bit loser. I was coming back to tell you that I was done with you. I am done with you, you hear me? Done! I’m going out for an hour. One hour. When I come back, you’d better be gone, or I’ll kick you out myself!”

  Liz turned, whirled around and made her exit. She stalked past Dani as if she were invisible.

  The door slammed.

  There was complete sil
ence after Liz made her exit. Dani stood there as if she’d been turned into stone.

  She looked at Richard, standing there with his hands over his crotch.

  Dani couldn’t help it. The absurdity of the situation caught up with her and she felt the slight hysterical laughter bubbling up. She tried to gulp it down a couple of times, but it wouldn’t stay down.

  Dani started laughing as if she would never stop. They turned into tears halfway through, and she slid down the wall, sitting on the floor, hugging herself.

  “Dani, I’m so sorry,” said Richard.

  She turned to him, tears glittering in her green eyes.

  “It’s not your fault. I’m sorry I got you into this situation,” Dani said, finally.

  Richard looked like he was at his wit’s end.

  “I… I shouldn’t have done that. You’re my stepdaughter. I shouldn’t have done that,” said Richard, looking helpless.

  “I’ve only been your stepdaughter in name. Not even, really. I still have my father’s name. I didn’t live with you as your daughter or anything. It’s not like that, Richard. You know it’s not,” said Dani.

  He smiled at her affectionately. He looked as if he was at a loss for words.

  “It’s not just that, Dani. I’m married to your mother. Surely, you can see that this isn’t right. You must see that.”

  Dani’s eyes filled with tears again.

  “Richard, how can you say that? You can’t mean that. It was right. You know it was right. It felt right. I needed you. You needed me, too. You can’t deny that. I felt it,” said Dani, anguished.

  Richard looked away.

  “It was wrong, Dani. I had sex with my stepdaughter while still married to her mother. It’s wrong,” insisted Richard.

  Dani grabbed his hand and held on for dear life.

  “No, it’s not. She has been hurting you. I saw it. I have seen her hurt so many good people. She is not a good person, Richard. I’ve always known that. I’ve known her for all my life, and I’ve always known that. She’s poisonous, Richard.”
