Daddy's Girls

by Andrews, Stella

  Ashton looks at me and I note the worry in her eyes. There is something else in them that pierces my heart like a dagger. There’s a pain that’s sucking the air from my lungs. This isn’t about Cassie fighting, something else has happened.

  Then she shakes herself and smiles softly.

  “You will need to say sorry to the boy tomorrow. His parents are upset and it would be the right thing to do.”

  Cassie looks confused.

  “But he’s my best friend now. He asked me to his party and asked me to show him my moves. Imogen’s invited too.”

  I grin at Ashton, who shakes her head. “Even so, it may help make his parents happier. Come on, I’ll help you write it.”

  I watch them move over to the table and settle back in my seat. Something’s up. I could tell as soon as I saw Ashton.

  She works away with Cassie and I flick on the set. The news is on and I watch for any signs of what happened today. It reminds me of the bulletin I saw when Ashton’s daddy pleaded for her return. Grinning to myself, I wonder if he knows I had the segment pulled from every local news channel spanning every State bordering ours. It’s good to be a Reaper sometimes. The boss of the network owes us a huge favor and was only too happy to oblige.

  No, it can’t be anything to do with that putting a shadow in her eyes. I’ll just be patient and discover what it is later.

  Once Cassie’s in bed, I get my chance. Ashton walks in and sits down heavily on the couch beside me. She sinks into my side and brings her knees up to my chest. Just for a moment, she snuggles into me and I kiss the top of her head lightly. As I stroke her arm, I feel her relax against me and I say softly, “You had a hard day, darlin’?”

  She sighs softly. “No, it’s fine. Just the trouble at school and Cassie’s friend’s mom is going through some stuff at the moment. Then when I got back your sister was here waiting.”

  I tense up, Cara, I should have known. I say in a hard voice, “What did she want?”

  Pulling back, Ashton smiles. “She was just checking on Cassie. We had a good chat actually and I like her, Ryder. Once you get past that hard shell she’s not so bad, really.”

  Laughing, I kiss her soft, sexy lips and growl, “Family trait.”

  Ashton smiles sexily and I run my hand behind her head and fist her hair. Then I punish those lips with the desperation of a man seeking to forget. This is what I need. My woman to set me back on the right path.

  She groans against my mouth and I smile inside. She is one hot and sexy woman and I don’t need reminding twice. I push her down onto the couch and stare deeply into her eyes. “Did you miss me, darlin’?”

  She smiles and licks her lips. “You know I did.”

  I smile wickedly. “Then prove it.”

  She pushes me back and straddles my lap. Then she reaches for her dress and removes it in one swift move. I go to touch my prize but she holds my hands down and wiggles her ass on my lap. “Now, now! Patience is a virtue you know.”

  I stare deep into her eyes and see the lust mirroring my own. She continues to tease me with her mouth while grinding her body onto mine. My cock is as hard as a poker and is begging to be set free. As if she senses it, she winks suggestively and then moves lower until her lips are level with it. Then she releases it and takes it in her mouth in one hot, sexy move. As I thrust into her, her tongue wraps around my shaft and sucks and licks until I groan with longing. Impatiently, I pull her up until she is above me and then lower her onto my dick, slowly and carefully. Her breasts move within a tantalizing taste of my lips and I latch on like a man possessed. She rides me like the most experienced cowgirl and I’m like a pony in my own rodeo. This woman is soft, sweet and angelic for most of the day but when she has me in her sights, she changes into the most fuckable woman on the planet. Everything she does comes so naturally that it’s as if she followed the blueprint to my desires. There is nothing she does that doesn’t send me over the edge and keep me coming back for more like an addict in need of a fix.

  As she nears her orgasm, I watch in wonder as her eyes close and her lip quivers. It’s a beautiful sight and I want to watch every second of my angel’s climax. I love the fact she is mine and nobody else’s, or ever will be. I’ve never felt love for anyone other than Cassie before but I know at this moment that I fucking love this woman coming apart on my dick with every part of me.

  The realization hits home and as I release into her, I grind her lips to mine and devour them with everything I’ve got. I need to taste her, feel her, consume her. There is no beginning and no end to us and it feels fucking amazing.

  Ashton

  When I wake in the morning, my body feels sore inside and out. Ryder was insatiable last night as was I. There was no respite and we made love long into the night. It’s as if we just couldn’t get enough and I was out of control. All my troubles faded away when he was inside me, touching me or taking me to a place I could forget. The trouble is, now it’s morning, and it brings the cold, hard facts of my predicament with it.

  With a heavy heart, I start the morning ritual and try to hurry a dawdling child along, while trying hard to figure out a way out of my problem.

  After a while, Ryder shouts over to Cassie. “Cass, honey, go and see if Jack wants to come and play after school. Don’t be long about it, you’ve got ten minutes - tops.”

  Cassie runs squealing from the room and I look at him with surprise.

  “Why now, Ryder? I could have asked Lou later when I get back. We’re going to be late if she isn’t back in five minutes.”

  As Ryder looks at me my knees start shaking. His eyes tear into my heart and see everything. There is no hiding from this man as he folds his arms and looks at me with purpose.

  “What’s up, darlin’? Don’t keep anything back because I’m not in the mood for games.”

  I feel sick as I look at him and try to regain my composure. How does he do this? It’s as if he controls my very soul.

  I shake my head and stare at him guiltily.

  “It’s nothing, I don’t know what you mean.”

  He moves across until he is standing right in front of me. Then he whispers in a hard voice.

  “Don’t play games with me, Ashton. I see it in your eyes. As soon as I returned home last night, I saw it. Something happened yesterday and if I have to follow you around all day to discover it, I will.”

  I feel my legs shaking and my lip trembles. My eyes fill up and I see the anger in his eyes. I can’t help it and whisper, “He knows, Ryder. The Principal knows I’m running. He saw my daddy on the television asking for news of where I was.”

  I daren’t look at Ryder but sense the tension. He says in a hard voice. “And?”

  I bite my lip but the tears run freely down my cheeks. “He said that if I gave him what he wants, he would keep quiet. He would also turn a blind eye to Cassie’s behavior and no action would be taken.”

  I can almost taste his rage as he hisses. “Why didn’t you tell me this last night?”

  Looking up, his anger hits me in the gut and I almost double back. I suck in my breath and whisper. “Because you had a hard day, I saw it in your eyes. You didn’t need my problems to add to your own. Lou told me that we were to deal with our own problems because you didn’t need to deal with our domestic issues.”

  I flinch at the anger in his face as he shouts. “Fuck Lou, Ashton. You tell me everything and I don’t fucking care how trivial it is. What were you going to do?”

  I start to shake and my tears run freely now.

  “I don’t know. I was going to deal with it I suppose but I didn’t really have a plan.”

  Cassie races back into the room and I look away, furiously trying to stem the flood of tears that are running like rivers down my face. I hear Ryder say in a soft, dangerous voice. “Get your coat, Cassie. Daddy’s driving you to school today.”

  She runs off screaming with delight and I turn to look at him with fear. I whisper, “What are you goin
g to do?”

  He smiles wickedly. “What I do best. Take care of things.”

  As Cassie races back, he moves across and whispers, “Wait here, I won’t be long.”

  Cassie kisses my cheek and races off chattering excitedly.

  As they head outside, I see Ryder reach for his phone. He is talking into it urgently and I wonder who he’s calling. One thing’s for sure, Principal Armstrong’s about to get the shock of his life.

  Ryder

  The white-hot fury is coursing through my blood driving me insane. I couldn’t tell you what Cassie spoke about on the journey. I have one aim in sight. Principal fucking Armstrong. He’s about to learn a hard lesson himself.

  We draw up outside the school and I park in a bay. I take a moment to look around me at the unusual sight of the privileged beginning their day. Smart mothers with textbook children walk around as if they’re in a scene from a movie. There are few fathers here and it strikes me how unreal this picture is.

  This doesn’t replicate the rich canvas of the real world. This is a utopia for the elite. It strikes me that far from giving Cassie the best start in life, I’m probably giving her the worst. How can she learn reality locked in a gilded cage? I hear the bell and we join the line of other parents walking to class.

  As we walk, Cassie holds my hand and I’m the proudest man on the planet. This gorgeous girl is part of me and can do no wrong in my eyes. I feel the stares as we move through the crowd. The women openly stare at me and I blank the lot of them. I don’t miss the desire in their eyes or the way they straighten up and stick out their tits. The sound of forced giggles drifts across the well-maintained playground as they try to draw my eye. I have only one person I want to see and he will definitely not want to see me.

  Just before Cassie heads inside, I see a pretty woman walking towards us with a welcoming smile on her face. Her little girl races up to Cassie and they hug as only a five-year-old would do in company. Cassie turns to look at me, her eyes shining. “This is Imogen, my best friend. This is my daddy, Imogen. He’s bringing me to school today.”

  I wink at Cassie’s friend, and she smiles shyly. Then I turn to her mother and she grins.

  “Hey, you must be Ryder. I’m Jennifer, a friend of Ashton’s. Is she ok?”

  I nod. “A little sick today so I said I’d stand in. It’s good to meet a friend of Ashton’s, she talks about you all the time.”

  She smiles prettily and yet I notice the strain in her eyes. Briefly, I remember Ashton saying something about some trouble she was in and I look at her keenly. “You should come and visit one day after school. Cassie never has any friends home.”

  Cassie squeals with delight and Jennifer smiles.

  “I’d like that, thanks.”

  As the children start to file in I watch my little girl join them. Something tugs on my heartstrings as I see the small figure, barely out of diapers, heading off alone. It doesn’t seem right. She’s far too small to deal with this. I almost want to run and grab her back and take her home. Jennifer says softly beside me, “It’s hard to see your little angel making their way without you. I must say, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.”

  She sounds so sad, I wonder what her story is.

  Nodding, I tear my eyes away from my daughter and say in a low voice.

  “Can you point me in the direction of the Principal’s office?”

  I watch as something sparks in her eyes and she shakes her head slowly.

  “I knew it.”

  I look at her with interest. “Knew what?”

  She says in a low voice. “I waited for Ashton yesterday when he asked to see her after the meeting. I could tell she was worried about something. I’m not stupid, I saw the way he looked at her in the meeting and I recognized that look of terror when she came out. He did something, didn’t he? It wouldn’t be the first time by all accounts.”

  I shake my head slowly. “Let’s just say that he has me to deal with now. I’m not as easily upset as my wife. Whatever problem he has is now my problem. Ashton has passed it to me to deal with and he’s gonna find that I’m very good at sorting problems out.”

  I wink at Jennifer and head towards the direction she pointed. This is gonna be a piece of cake.

  I reach the door marked ‘Principal’ and don’t hesitate. With one resounding knock on the door, I fling the door open and march inside.

  The man that looks up from his seat looks surprised, then I see the worry flare in his eyes. He knows and is probably shitting himself right about now.

  Kicking the chair away from the desk, I sit astride it and look at him keenly.

  “You expecting someone else?”

  I watch his eyes flick nervously to the door as he stutters.

  “You can’t just come in here without an appointment. Who are you?”

  I smirk. “I have an appointment. You made it with my wife yesterday. She’s sent me instead. Now, as I understand it, you have a problem with my daughter hitting some bully in the playground.”

  His face pales even further and I see the sweat break out and run down his face. Clearing his throat, he says stutteringly.

  “Yes, well, that’s now water under the bridge. We’ve sorted everything out and no more will be said. Um… anyway, thank you for your time but I have a meeting to attend. I can’t be late otherwise they will be sending out a search party for me.”

  He laughs nervously and I see his hand tremble as he reaches for his phone. It starts to ring and I settle back in my seat and cross my legs in front of me.

  “You better get that.”

  He looks down and shakes his head.

  “It’s fine, just my wife calling. I’ll get it later. Now if you don’t mind, I must ask you to leave.”

  I stare at him hard and growl. “I said, you’d better get that. I think it’s best you put it on speaker.”

  He pales and his hand shakes as he answers the phone.

  “What do you want, I’m in a meeting?”

  I hear his wife’s voice coming out over the speaker sounding shocked and scared. She whispers,

  “What have you done, Edward? There must be about twenty bikers here and they say you owe them something.”

  I take a minute to revel in the fear in his eyes. He looks at me and I see the realization dawning in them. He says shakily, “I don’t owe them anything. It’s a misunderstanding.”

  His wife starts to cry and we hear her say in a frightened voice. “What are you doing, you can’t go up there?”

  Principal Armstrong looks at me with fear. “Tell them to stay away from them.”

  I laugh softly. “You worried about your family, Principal? What’s the matter, you thinking your daughter upstairs in her bedroom is gonna have the experience of her life while you listen in?”

  He starts to shake and the tears fill his eyes. He says in a broken voice.

  “Please, I’m begging you, call them off.”

  We hear a scream followed by his wife crying. “Nooo, leave her alone. Put her down.”

  The sound of the women crying fills the office and the Principal starts to retch. I hear the cries of the women as the bikers’ tear through his house. I sent twenty of them with one aim in mind. To teach him the lesson of his life.

  This man is pure evil. Hiding behind his responsible position to prey on young women. He’s known for it and it’s only now I have all the facts. Snake ran a check on him and emailed me the details. What I read sickened me. Women violated in this very office to satisfy the perverted mind of the man in front of me. Well let’s see how he likes it.

  We hear the women screaming as my men do what I told them to do. They don’t know it but we aren’t interested in making them the price for his mistakes. Neither does he and I watch with amusement as he sinks to his knees in front of me. “Please, I’m begging you, let them go. My daughter’s only 16. She’s a child, and this isn’t her fault.” He sobs as we hear another heart wrenching scream fill the office. His wife sho
uts, “Edward do something, call the police, anything! Please, you’ve got to help us.”

  He starts to cry and breaks down right in front of my eyes.

  “Please, I’ll do anything. I promise you, just let my family go.”

  Reaching down, I pull him up until I have him by the scruff of the neck.

  I growl. “What’s the matter? It’s ok to hit on other people’s wives and daughters. It’s a different story when it’s your own, isn’t it? Why should we care about yours when you have no regard for anyone else’s? What do they say? An eye for an eye. Well, eyes come in pairs and you have a fine set by the sound of it. My men will thank me for the fun.”

  The Principal starts to cry and pleads even harder.

  “What do you want to make them stop? Name your price, I’ll do anything.”

  I drop him to the floor and say in a hard voice.

  “Fall out men, we’ve made our point.”

  The Principal looks up from his position on the floor in disbelief. “What, that’s it?”

  I stand over him as the sound of his family’s tears echo around the room. Leaning down, I pull his head towards me by his hair and level my gaze to his. Staring into his eyes, I say in a dangerous voice. “If I hear one more woman even hint that you looked at her inappropriately, we’ll be back to finish what we started. Then you will watch my men rip the heart from your family in front of your eyes. Do you understand?”

  He nods and sobs loudly like a child.

  I release him and he falls to the floor. I notice his soiled trousers and look at him with disgust.

  “You’re a joke. Clean yourself up and take this as a lesson well learned. Don’t expect to see my daughter or my wife here again. This school just doesn’t live up to our high standards. I want a full refund of the fees I’ve paid as well as those of Cassie’s friend Imogen. Good day to you Principal. It’s been fun.”

  Then I leave him sniveling on the floor and head out to get my child.

  I see Jennifer anxiously waiting and I smile and wink. “How much do you want your kid to stay here, Jennifer?”
