Chase: A single Dad Firefighter & a Virgin Romance ( A Standalone Novel) (Chiseled Book 1)

by Rod Lee

  “There are a few near here. I wrote down the addresses.” She told him as she set a plate down for Veronica and herself then joined him at the table.

  “Thank you. I can’t believe that Principal Tate would allow Ms. Ham to continue to teach. I have a feeling absolutely nothing will happen to her in the end.” He said between bites of his dinner.

  “I don’t believe it either.” Kitty shook her head.

  “Daddy, do you want to see what I drew today. Kitty said it’s my best yet.” Veronica asked.

  “Sure munchkin, let me finish eating first, okay?”

  “Alright, I can’t wait until you see it!” She smiled.

  “It is amazing for sure; you seem to get better with each new drawing.” Kitty said to the girl

  After everyone finished eating Chase cleared the table and put the dishes into the sink. He waved Kitty away when she came over to help. “I’ll clean the dishes, you made this delicious meal.” He kissed her.

  Kitty watched him do the dishes and stood up to dry them. Shoo, go on with you. He swatted at her teasingly. “I can handle this much. You go relax.”

  She placed herself on the seat again and smiled at him. “You really are a sweet guy.”

  “I know I can be a bit of an ass sometimes but I don’t mean to be that way. We’re going to be busy, I’ll probably have to pull double shifts until I move departments. I’ve got to earn my good boy points now while there’s time.” Chase smiled back at Kitty as he began to dry the dishes. “I hope my crabbiness won’t put you off too much.”.

  “I think everyone has another side of themselves. I’m sure I’ll manage. Just don’t expect me to put up with it if you get out of hand.” Kitty smiled at him.

  Chase chuckled and nodded his head “Yes ma’am.”

  When he was done Veronica brought him the new drawing. He looked at the picture. “Who’s this in the picture with us?” He asked.

  “This older guy is Kitty’s dad.” Veronica pointed to an older man who was standing beside Kitty in the drawing. “And this one is my baby brother.” She smiled brightly.

  Chase felt a chill go down his spin. Maybe Veronica was much more talented than he had known, memories of his talk with Kitty popped up in his head. He began to wonder if his daughter could really see the future.

  “How did you come up with this idea? How do you know what these two will look like?” He asked.

  “I don’t know daddy, I just drew what I thought they would look like.” Veronica shrugged.

  That makes sense, Chase said in his own mind. “It is very good munchkin!” He kissed her cheek.

  “Kitty liked it too!”

  Chase looked at Kitty who shrugged her shoulders at him. “I know, I’m wondering if my dad will look like that, and if I’m pregnant!” She laughed.

  “Can’t be.” He said.

  “Of course, I can be, you know you stopped using condoms now.” Kitty replied.

  “No, I was talking about Veronica and being able to see the future.” He laughed.

  “Oh, I was wondering if you had forgotten that I could very well be pregnant.” She chuckled.

  “Did you check my email to see if Steve responded back?” He asked.

  “No, I didn’t, I didn’t want to invade your privacy and go into your email, even though you left it open. I closed the tab out.” She explained.

  “Honey I have nothing to hide from you, you can look at anything of mine.” He kissed her.

  “So, check it, I’m dying to know if we have his number or not.” Kitty said.

  Chase got up and went to the computer, opening his email. “Sure did, so when do you want to call him?” He asked.

  Kitty looked suddenly nervous, “I don’t know I’m scared to do this. What if he denies that he’s my father and I feel rejected again?”

  “We’ll do a DNA test if necessary to convince him. But you should really call him. He deserves to know about you, even if he refuses to believe it right away.” Chase walked back to her and hugged her close to him.

  “Give me a few minutes to work up my nerve first, then I’ll call.” Kitty said, nodding.

  “No problem babe. I understand you are nervous but I’m here with you and you know that I’ll never reject you.” He kissed her.

  She wrapped her arms around his neck, “I know Chase and I’m very happy about that.”

  He deepened the kiss and she could feel him getting hard, his cock pushing into her bottom. She laughed, “I swear I can’t even sit on your lap and you not be ready!”

  He chuckled, “Hey what do you expect, you are so sexy; I can’t help but react.”

  She swatted him on the arm. “Let’s do something with Veronica.”

  “Like what?” He asked.

  “I’d like to take her to this ice cream shop she was telling me about today. She talked about it all day and said their ice cream was all-natural and so delicious. She made me crave it all day long!” Kitty said.

  “Oh, she must have been telling you about Busy Bee?”

  “Yeah that was the name.” Kitty agreed.

  “Okay I can’t refuse my two girls some amazing dessert after such a good meal!” He smiled. “But when we get home you make your call!” He said.

  “I will!” She smiled.

  “Veronica do you want some ice cream?” Chase called out.

  The little one came running and stopped in front of them, “I was talking about it today, of course I want it!”

  He chuckled and said, “Let’s get some then!”

  “You’ll love it Kitty.” Veronica smiled at Kitty.

  “I’m sure I will.”

  Chapter 46

  “Daddy can I get the monster cone?” Veronica asked when they got to the ice cream shop.

  “I don’t know if you’ll sleep after eating it.” He laughed.

  “I will, I promise!” She smiled her sweetest smile at him.

  “I guess so.” He gave in.

  Kitty laughed, “I can help you eat it if you want, I don’t think I want one all my own, I’m still stuffed from supper.” She said to Chase.

  “You can have some of mine mom, I’ll share with you.” Veronica said.

  Kitty smiled at her use of the word mom, and said, “Okay, then maybe you will actually sleep tonight!”

  The cone came and it was humongous. As far as Kitty was concerned all of them could have eat off of this one order. “How in the world did you ever think she could eat all of that?” She asked Chase.

  He smiled at her, “Why do you think I only ordered a single scoop cone, I know I’ll end up eating most of it. But now she has you to help, so maybe I won’t be near as stuffed as I am after we visit here!”

  “I don’t know how much I’ll be able to help, there is far too much ice cream there, and then you add those toppings in, holy cow.” She took a bite of the cone. “But it is delicious!”

  Kitty and Veronica shared the cone as Chase watched them try and eat it all. About a quarter of the way through he saw them slowing down. “Getting full?” He asked.

  “Very.” Kitty said.

  “Almost but I think I can eat a bit more.” Veronica stated.

  After a couple of more bites though the girl gave up and slid the rest of the ice cream over in front of her dad. “Here you are daddy!”

  He quickly ate the rest of the ice cream and smiled at the girls, who looked at him like he was an eating monster. “Hey I need my energy!”

  Kitty smiled at him, “Hopefully you get some sleep tonight!”

  “Well if not, I have things I can do to keep me busy!” He whispered into her ear.

  He kissed her and got up from the table, “Come on munchkin, Kitty has a phone call to make, so let’s go home.”

  “Who is she calling?” Veronica asked.

  “The man who may be her father.” Chase answered.

  “Oh cool.”

  Kitty knew the time for action would be soon and she could feel her nerves tighte
ning up. “You know I should really see him in person to break the news about being his daughter, that’s not something you do over the phone.” Kitty said.

  “I agree, so see how near he lives to us and we will visit him soon. Or meet him someplace neutral.” Chase commented.

  “Okay, I will do that.” She responded.

  Chase drove them home and made Veronica go and take a shower. “Hopefully she’ll get tired soon!” He smiled at Kitty.

  “I don’t know, I have quite a buzz from all that ice cream myself, and I didn’t eat as much as either of you did!” Kitty laughed.

  “Well good I won’t feel bad about keeping you up tonight then!” He chuckled. “Make your call.” He handed her the number.

  She took in a deep breath and dialed the number. After a couple of rings, a man’s voice answered. “Hello.” She heard him say.

  “Hello, is this Steve Bartkowski?” She asked.

  “Sure is, who am I speaking too?”

  “This is Kitty McComb, my fiancé wrote an email to you on my behalf.” She said.

  “Oh, nice to talk to you Kitty, what can I do for you?” He asked.

  “I was just wondering if I could meet with you and talk.” She questioned.

  “Hmm, I don’t see an issue with that. Is something wrong with Gertrude?” He asked.

  “No, she’s fine, I just would like to meet you.” Kitty said.

  “How is tomorrow at 5 pm?” He questioned.

  “Sure, where at?”

  “Do you know where Longman’s Steak House is?” He asked.

  “Let me ask my fiancé.” She covered up the receiver and turned to Chase, “Do you know where Longman’s Steak House is at; he wants to meet at 5 tomorrow.” She said.

  “Yeah I know where it is.” Chase smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.

  “He knows where it is, we’ll see you at 5 tomorrow night.” Kitty said.

  “Okay Kitty I look forward to meeting you in person. He said and hung up the phone.

  “What should I wear to meet him? Do you think he’ll think I’m ugly because of this scar?” She asked pointing at the burn mark.

  “You know it’s healing quite nicely, you may not even need surgery.” Chase commented, running his fingers over the welt. “I think you got lucky, and I know he’ll find you beautiful.” He smiled at her.

  They heard a knock on the bedroom door. “Yes munchkin.” Chase called out.

  “Can I come in?” They heard her voice through the door.

  “Sure.”

  “Did you call the man?” She asked when she came in the door.

  “Yes, we are meeting with him tomorrow.” Kitty said.

  “Do I get to go along?” Veronica asked.

  “Of course, sweetie.”

  “Good I want to meet him too, he’ll be my new grandpa!”

  Chase laughed, “Yes if he’s Kitty’s dad but if he isn’t we’ll keep looking.”

  “I hope he is so you two can get married soon!”

  “Me too sweetie.” Kitty kissed her on the cheek.

  “Can we watch a movie?” Veronica asked.

  “Munchkin, it’s almost bed time. You promised me you’d try to sleep.” Chase commented.

  “Yeah, I know but I’m so excited to meet Kitty’s dad now.” She whined as only a little girl could.

  “Still you have to get some sleep. You’ll have the whole day with Kitty again, we’ll get you into a new school by next week.” Chase said, not being drawn in by her pleading.

  “Alright daddy, I love you mom and dad, good night.” Veronica sighed but gave them both hugs and headed off to bed.

  “I really like it when she calls me mommy!” Kitty smiled.

  “It is cute when she says it. I think she may still be getting used to and is scared you may not like it though. I hear her hesitate every once in a while, before she says it.” Chase commented. “Or maybe it’s just because she’s so used to saying Kitty that she has to stop and think about it!”

  “Yeah, I think it may be that, I don’t think she’s scared of my reaction, she knows I love it.” Kitty commented.

  “I’m going to go check to see if she’s sleeping yet, that way we can have a bit of fun!” Chase laughed and smacked her ass on the way out of the room.

  Kitty waited for him patiently and figured after he was gone for ten minutes she was most likely still awake. When he came into the room a few minutes later, she was sure just by the look on his face, it was one of pure amusement.

  “What is it?” Kitty asked.

  “She was in her room doing another drawing. She claimed she had laid down for several minutes but couldn’t sleep yet, so she got up. I made her promise to finish her drawing and try again. I think she slowed down sketching at that point!” Chase explained.

  “Now that is funny.” She yawned and stretched, “I’m getting tired though myself, I think I’ll go to sleep now.”

  “Just beware I may wake you up in the middle of the night if I can’t get to sleep!” Chase warned.

  “I wouldn’t be upset if you do.” Kitty kissed him and tried to sleep.

  ***

  Later that night she felt Chase as he kissed her neck and moved his hand down her body. His fingers parted her pussy lips and slipped inside. She moaned and rolled over.

  “Did I wake you up?” He asked.

  She laughed, “Yeah but I don’t mind.” She kissed him.

  He moved on top of her and slipped inside of her, moving slowly as he made love to her. Kitty felt her body as she moved closer to an orgasm. Her fingers dragging across his chest as she squirmed below his manipulation of her body.

  Chase kissed her and thrust into her as quick as he could. “Cum for me baby.” He whispered into her ear as he moved his thumb over her clit at the same time as he was thrusting.

  She moaned out and clenched her fingers on his shoulder as she was sent over the edge and climaxed. Chase released his seed after a few more thrust to extend her orgasm a bit longer.

  He kissed her, and said, “Now I think I may finally be able to go to sleep.”

  “What time is it?” She asked.

  “3 a.m.” He muttered. “I was trying to resist you but my body wouldn’t stop wanting to make love to you, finally I woke you up. I hope you don’t mind.” He explained.

  “Not at all Chase, I loved it.” Kitty murmured as her eyes began to close and sleep called her once more.

  ***

  Kitty went into Veronica’s room the next morning and sat on her bed. “Hey honey, how are you?” She asked.

  Veronica was already up drawing a new picture. “I’m good. How do you like my new picture?” She held up a picture of two women.

  Kitty looked at it and instantly noticed herself, “Is this other woman your mother?” She questioned.

  “Yep, she was very, pretty wasn’t she?” Veronica stated gazing at the picture lovingly.

  “Yes, she was, do you miss her?”

  “Well I miss that I will never really know her, not here on Earth. But since she talks to me I get to know her somewhat. She really likes you Kitty and is happy that you and my dad are together.” Veronica smiled brightly.

  “I’m glad, and how do you feel about this all? I know it happened very quickly.”

  “I love you Kitty and I’m happy that you are my new mom.”

  Kitty hugged Veronica tightly. This would be the type of relationship she wished she had with her own mother all those years ago. But that wouldn’t change and most likely she would never talk to her own mother again. However, she hoped that she and Veronica would always be this close!

  Chapter 47

  Kitty was fixing her hair, “Are you sure this outfit looks okay, I want to make a good impression?” She asked Chase.

  “You look marvelous.” He commented from the edge of the bed. “Are you about ready, it will take us at least 55 minutes to get there at this time of day.” Chase asked.

  “Almost, I’m just trying to make sure I do
n’t look bad when I meet this guy. You know he might very well be my father.” Kitty said nervously.

  “Hey sweetie just relax. I’m sure he’ll love you!” Chase said.

  She applied a little bit of eye shadow and told him, “Okay I’m ready.”

  “Veronica let’s go.” Chase called out to his daughter.

  She ran into the room and was holding another drawing, “I made something for your dad.” She said and showed it to Kitty.

  “This is amazing, how did you know that’s what I looked like as a girl?” Kitty showed Chase the picture, it was of a younger kitty, around age 6 and a man.

  “I guessed. Did I get it right?” She asked.

  “Almost exactly what I looked like at that age. You’re amazing Veronica.”

  “That’s your dad there, I don’t know if I got him right at that age or not but I tried.” Veronica explained.

  Chase hurried them out to the jeep, and helped Kitty get inside. He put his hand on her leg and moved it back and forth in an effort to help her clam down. Kitty smiled over at him.

  “Mommy, are you excited?” Veronica asked from the backseat.

  “That and nervous at the same time. What if he’s not my father?” Kitty commented.

  Chase could hear the nervousness in her voice, “Then we keep looking but what are the chances he isn’t? He knew your mom, so he must be the right guy.”

  She sat quietly the rest of the ride to the steak house. When they pulled up in front of it, she almost didn’t want to get out of the vehicle.

  Chase helped her out and encouraged her to be strong. When they got into the steak house the first thing Kitty noticed was how much the man looked like the drawing Veronica had done. She looked at Chase to see if he recognized it too. He shook his head in agreement, “It’s almost scary how well she drew him.” Chase said.

  “I know!”

  “Hi, you must be Kitty, I’m happy to meet you. Please sit down.” Steve stood up as they approached the table. He hugged Kitty warmly, and she felt a calm come over her body, her nerves were now gone.

  “Hello, I bet you’re wondering why I called you.” Kitty began.

  “Well after seeing you in person, not really. But at first yes, I had wondered. You know I always wondered what happened to Gertrude for the longest time. We were kind of a hot item, or at least I thought. But all of the sudden she disappeared and I couldn’t find her. She wouldn’t pick up my calls, and when I went to see her, she had moved. For several years I’d look in the paper to see if there was a missing person’s report on her. However about 5 years later I happened to see her and Robert shopping. They had you with them, and I almost went up to her and asked her if you were my daughter. I should have at that time but I was too afraid. It was obvious she had chosen Robert over me. I can’t believe it, I have a daughter and I never knew it, not for certain. You are my daughter, right?” Steve rambled the words out quickly.
