This is my first attempt to write an emotional, romantic story, There will be tease, lust and sex, but this will primarily be a romance and therefore will be a slow simmering burn rather than a flashover. Please be kind in voting and feedback as this will be a romance first, erotica second.

This is a work of fiction and any people, places, products or events mentioned or inferred are done so without permission or endorsement.

I was 24 when my beautiful, loving wife passed from injuries from a car accident and the settlement from the city did nothing to ease the horrible loss of my wife of five years, my lover for almost 8 and my best friend of 13 years. Andrea was the love of my life, my first and only girlfriend, high school sweetheart, prom date, my first lover and eventually my wife and mother of our daughter Faith Marie. Faith is 5 now and will be starting kindergarten next week and oddly enough the reason I made it through the pain and heartbreak at all. I have never known anyone but Andrea, and our parents knew in high school that we were meant to be together and they would overlook late nights. accidental sleepovers and all that went with two teens in love and lust. I still remember Andrea's parents crying and hugging when I asked Andrea to marry me, they were happier than we were. It's not like we were a Hallmark movie, we disagreed about how much I worked and how much time I should spend with Faith. There was never a shouting screaming argument, Andrea always knew how to explain things to me and set me on the right path, and I will never really get over her.

Family, friends, neighbors, even strangers helped me learn how to be a single father, work full time, and raise Faith. I went through at least 4 nannies until my mom found Mackenzie and introduced her to Faith and I. The reason I went through nannies was I had no interest in love, sex, companionship, just work and raising Faith. Two of the nannies tried to spend time with me, sleep with me, and they were beautiful women, but I only saw Andrea wherever I went, whatever I did. Mackenzie was the daughter of lifelong neighbors who were moving to Florida in the Fall to retire and Mackenzie was just barely 18 and wanted to stay where her friends were, near her grandmother. My mom insisted I take Mackenzie in, she likes to be called Kenzie like the character on NCIS LA, and I agreed as long as Kenzie understood her responsibilities and stayed out of my way. I have known Kenzie her entire life, but paid no attention to her as she is 5 or 6 years younger than me. She is very pretty, tall and radiant, with a shapely body, and very friendly but shy. My mom said her first boyfriend broke up with her when she wouldn't have sex and humiliated her all around the school and town. Since then she has kept to herself and recently graduated back in June, and right away took to spending every waking moment with Faith as if the sister she never had.

Honestly the first week went well and it was odd how at 18 Kenzie took to caring for Faith when I was at work, helped settle her down at night, even tidied up and cooked some of the time. I do well and the settlement from the city for causing the accident allowed me to compensate Kenzie and I told her to think like this was her home, just always think about Faith and the responsibility she has towards her. I can remember the first spark as if it happened moments ago, and I was almost so much of a jerk that it could have been extinguished. Kenzie is beautiful with long natural blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and very nice body and a soft smile that is truly captivating. Self absorbed and sad or not, I noticed she would wear short skirts and tight shorts, tank tops and such. After the first week she got comfortable enough to go from the bathroom to her bedroom in just a towel, and yesterday she was doing her laundry in just her bra, panties and socks and smiled when I realized I was staring at her body.

The first spark occurred after we had dinner together and Faith kissed and hugged me but wanted "Z" to put her to bed. She waved bye and Kenzie carried her to bed and never came out. I finished some paperwork and found Kenzie asleep with Faith holding her and it broke my heart and I felt the ice melting as I stared at the two of them asleep. I covered Faith up, turned out her light, and carried Kenzie to put her on her bed. Kenzie sighed and kissed me and I froze right where I was in the hall as with her eyes closed she pressed against my lips until I accepted her. She sighed and we kissed lips to lips for several seconds then lay her head against my shoulder and sighed again. I lay Kenzie on her bed and she opened her eyes and stared at me quietly, then smiled and sighed and closed her eyes. I pulled the covers over her hoping she could sleep dressed because for God's sake I wasn't fit to undress her with my confused emotions. I went and stared at a picture of Andrea and fell asleep crying, I missed my wife so much.

Nothing was said and Kenzie was friendly and sweet like always and Saturday my parents took Faith to the park and Kenzie was lying around the pool waiting for her friend to come over and I took a shower. I was washing my hair and rinsing when I looked and saw Kenzie was staring at me naked and blushing and for her to be in there I assumed something was wrong. I forgot my nudity and opened the shower door and asked her if she was okay and she swallowed and sort of gasped "I'm fine". I misunderstood and she backed against the sink and I touched her face and asked her if she was okay and she stared into my eyes and then said "Oh" and we both realized I was getting hard. I grabbed a towel and apologized and she said it was ok, she wanted to know if her friend Tanya could spend the night. I gripped the towel and reminded her this was her house too and she smiled and stepped closer to me. She bit her lip, paused, then seemed to change her mind and hurried out of the bathroom and I thought I had imagined it, but it seemed like she was about to kiss me.

Things became complicated as Tanya arrived and her and Kenzie seemed to always be whispering and conspiring and stealing glances at me. I know I am in good shape and look good for someone about to turn 25, and I get asked out at work, the store, the gym, but all I can think about is Andrea. Kenzie is very pretty in a wholesome, innocent, pure way. She is very attractive, smart, and someone will treat her right and they will be happy. Tanya is the type of girl that you didn't bring home because she has that smoky, smoldering slut look about her and someone would be very happy with her for different reasons. Tanya has short brown hair, a tight shapely body and a rather large chest, likely 34D which is large for someone 18 or 19. Tanya seemed to inspire Kenzie to be bold and they both thought nothing of hanging around me all day in their skimpy bikinis and I cannot lie, I spent quite a bit of time hard and trying to ignore them. I was surprised and proud though when Faith got home and the girls had changed into shorts, t-shirts and socks and watched cartoons with Faith while I plowed through my paperwork.

Tanya slipped away and crowded me while I researched online and made notes and she was getting bolder as she would touch my arm, my shoulder and then before I knew it she had her arms around me. I peeled her off me twice before Kenzie surprised both of us with a flash of jealousy and dragged Tanya back into the living room to play Legos with Faith. I asked the girls what they wanted for dinner and they were trying to push each other away from me and I accidentally grabbed Kenzie's right breast and she said ‘Whoops" and moved before Tanya saw it. I was blushing and she turned and mouthed "It's ok" and pointed to the bacon cheeseburger pizza as if nothing happened. Tanya asked for breadsticks and hugged me a little too long until Kenzie peeled her off me and hissed "Will you stop?" while I called to order. I hung up and Faith came over for a hug and I was holding her and my eyes met Kenzie's and we stared at each other for several seconds and then I flushed and looked away. Kenzie turned on the Xbox and was playing something with Tanya when Faith ran over asked to play crash cars. She liked Burnout because she could crash the cars and I sighed because Andrea taught her how to play it.

The food came and we all ate and Tanya said she usually slept in her panties and a t-shirt and I blushed even as Kenzie said "Stop it". I said it was fine but no boys and they laughed and ate. I was actually glad when Tanya left the next day because for the first time since Andrea passed I went to bed hard from all the teasing and tossed and turned all night. Something had changed though because Kenzie was around me more, I don't know how else to describe it and Sunday during dinner Faith whispered something to Kenzie. Mackenzie said "Shhh. Stop now" and Faith giggled and said "Ask him, ask him" then she giggled as Kenzie blushed. I asked what was the big secret and Faith smiled widely and said "Kenzie wants to go on a date with daddy" and she started singing it as Kenzie bonked her head on the table and groaned. I felt my heart stop and my breath caught and I stumbled out of the chair and Faith cried "Daddy are you okay?" I tried to catch my breath and Kenzie came over and I just needed air and said to Faith "I'm okay baby" and went out to the patio. Faith came out worried and red faced and I swept her into a hug and said I missed mommy and she said that was ok, Kenzie could be her new mommy and I gasped as Kenzie did the same thing behind me.

I kissed Faith and said Kenzie didn't like daddy that way and Faith said "Yes she does" and Kenzie gasped again and went inside. I hugged Faith to me and went inside and sat her on the couch and she wanted Spongebob so I turned it on. I found Kenzie crying in her room and she said she was sorry and she knew she had to leave now and I held her, pulled her close and said it was okay, she wasn't going anywhere. We sat there silently, neither of us said a word, and she snuggled tight against me and sniffled occasionally. Faith came in and saw us comforting each other and said "Yay" and ran back to the living room and Kenzie moved away from me and said she was sorry. I kept hold of her hand and said if she really wanted to go on a date, tell me, and I would try. Kenzie blinked several times and said "Uh...I..." and then left the room. I went to Faith's room and cleaned up her toys, that child was like a tiny hurricane, and Kenzie came in and said "Hi". We put everything away and she touched my hand and said "When you're ready, ask me" and hugged me quickly then hurried off.

I called my mom and she said she was actually down the street and would stop in to see Mackenzie and Faith and I asked her if we could talk. She came in and Faith screamed ‘Gramma" and dragged her into her room to show her every toy she had as if she had forgotten from the last time. Kenzie was smiling and tidying up the living room and we smiled at each other and she sighed. Kenzie said "You know I love her, right?" and I nodded and sat at the table and fiddled with my laptop. Mom hugged Kenzie with Faith clinging to her leg and giggling and Mom growled and Faith screamed and ran down the hall. Mom hugged me and we went out on the patio and she stared into the pool and asked "Is it Andrea?" I said not really, I think of her everyday and when I look at Faith i see her, but no. Mom held my hand and waited and I said it's Kenzie and my mom sighed and said I needed to think about this. She said Faith adored Mackenzie and if I fired her it would set her back. I sighed and she looked at me and said "That's not it is it?" I told her Kenzie wanted me to take her on a date and that Faith thought it was great, ran around singing about it, and I just wasn't sure.

My mom laughed for a moment, then let go of my hand and sat in a chair and asked "Would that be so bad, a date?" I said Kenzie was only 18 and my mom reminded me for the 100th time that dad was 7 years older than her and she didn't care then and still didn't now. I said "Andrea..." and mom interrupted me and said sometime I would have to stop hiding behind Andrea and live again, she would want that. Then my mom stood, hugged me, and said I would make the right decision, I always did. She held my hands and said she would always love Andrea, and she missed her too, but if it meant I could be happy, then maybe that was why Mackenzie came along at the right time. I said "Mom, she lived across the street for 18 years" and my mom gave me a look and said "I know". My mom chased Faith around the living room for a few minutes and Kenzie smiled at me and began picking up toys... again. I helped her and our hands met on the same toy and we stood there staring at each other and then Faith screeched "YAY" and ran down the hall again. I blushed and let go of Kenzie's hand and she smiled shyly and went on cleaning up.

Mom said "You know what to do" and hugged Kenzie then left. Kenzie was tidying up my disaster on the table so I put Faith to bed and she was singing what may have been her version of the Spongebob song but for whatever reason Mickey Mouse was in her song. I hugged the breath out of her and she said "Geez daddy". I was brushing her pretty blonde hair as she chattered on about going to the park tomorrow and I reminded her she had school tomorrow and she said "Rats". I offered to make breakfast and she said that was okay, Kenzie would do it and it broke my heart but I hugged her and said goodnight. She said "Daddy?" and I stood in her doorway and said "What baby?" Faith said she thought I should kiss Kenzie and then rolled over. I stared at her for a long time and Kenzie came down the hall quietly and said she didn't put Faith up to this and I took her hand and held it and said it was ok. We went to the couch and sat facing each other and she took my hand and said she was sorry and I touched her face. Kenzie looked at me like women do when they want to be kissed, and I looked at her and realized I wanted to but...

Kenzie took my hand from her face and held it and said she knew I missed Andrea, and she knew it was hard to love again... then she got quiet. I remembered what her boyfriend did to her really hurt her and was horrible and I sat back and pulled her close to me. She snuggled against me and sighed and I held her for a long while until she eased away from me and said she understood. I was confused and she turned at the end of the hallway and smiled, then went into her room. I shut everything off and went to bed and instead of thinking about Andrea my mind was filled with thoughts of Kenzie, her pretty face, her laugh. I rolled over and gasped, she was standing in my doorway in a t-shirt and I hoped she was wearing panties, and she whispered "Is it okay?" I lifted my covers, mostly to reassure her I was wearing sweatpants, and she climbed in next to me, faced away from me, and we fell asleep snuggling. I awoke rock hard and realized she was half on top of me, her long hair was everywhere including my mouth, and she was sound asleep. I wanted to lift her and lay her back but she stirred and groaned and moved the opposite way and now was not only atop me, but my stiff cock was pressing against her panties and her crotch.

Kenzie looked up at me slowly, her hair blocking most of her face, and her expression said it all, she knew she was lying on me and definitely knew I was aroused. She didn't move, just looked at me as I carefully brushed some of her hair from her face, then she finally whispered "Ummm". Then I said I was sorry and she rolled off me and said "No it's fine" and we were both blushing and of course hurricane Faith ran in and jumped on the bed and said "YAY". My cute little monster tackled Kenzie and started singing "Daddy and Kenzie sitting in a tree" and I fell back on the pillow and sighed. Kenzie smiled at me and said "I got this" and with Faith clinging to her like a monkey, left my bedroom. I tried not to stare at her ass with the t-shirt pulled up but it was firm and I sighed and took Kenzie's pillow and smothered myself with it. I was doing that when I realized I had thought ‘Kenzie's pillow' and sat up and said "Uh oh" to myself. I pulled my t-shirt down to cover my erection and went out to have some juice while Faith wasted her breakfast.

It was cute to watch Faith and Kenzie sit there eating Lucky Charms out of the same bowl and arguing about the marshmallows. It occurred to me that Kenzie was still in her wrinkled t-shirt with her hair askew and nothing on but panties. I looked at a picture of Andrea and asked her if this was what she wanted but she just smiled at me as if letting me decide. Kenzie got Faith down from the table and swatted her butt and told her to get dressed and Faith screeched and ran to her room. Kenzie surprised me by coming over to me, glancing down the hallway, then leaned up and kissed me softly on the lips and said "Thank you". I asked her what for and she looked at my crotch covered by my shirt and I blushed. Kenzie glanced down the hall and said she was thanking me for the respect I showed her this morning and then she blushed and said she was also thanking me for the compliment. I almost dropped my juice and she said I needed to get ready for work, she would take care of the monster. I was still hard so I closed my bedroom door AND the bathroom door and took a shower, trying to ignore my erection. My cock throbbed and I couldn't get the image and memory of Kenzie atop me and looking at me out of my mind.

I leaned against the shower tile and started stroking myself just to end the misery and I wish I could lie and say it took hours, but I was so excited it was but a few minutes and I erupted in the shower. I stroked and squeezed until I was spent and then washed up, got ready and left for work because Kenzie was already gone taking Faith to school. My boss came in and said he hasn't seen me this happy since before... well... and I smiled and he asked "Who's the lucky girl?" I stared at him and said I would get back to him and he looked confused and left. He came right back and said I got the account and he would deposit my bonus this afternoon. He said "Good Job" banged his ring against the door frame and said "Ok then" and left. It was hard to concentrate and I found myself staring at my phone about to text Kenzie but I didn't know what to say. I left work and stopped to buy a toy for Faith and something urged me to buy flowers and I did. I was nervous when I went into the house and Kenzie was talking to Faith about not throwing her toys, spotted the flowers and gasped.

Faith screeched "Daddy, daddy" and pounced on me then snatched the flowers and ran them over to Kenzie while I stood there holding the new box of Legos. Kenzie stared at me with moist eyes and mouthed "Thank you" and then Faith saw the box and screeched "YAY" and took it and ran. Kenzie was shaking as she came over and asked "What does this mean?" and I said "A beginning?" and she hugged me as she stared at the flowers. Faith brought me the empty Lego box and said ‘You know they make girl Legos?" and I gasped and said "No" and she squealed and climbed over the back of the couch and said "Box, Box" meaning Xbox. I realized the whole time Kenzie was holding me and now she said she would play Xbox with Faith. Kenzie asked what I wanted for dinner and I took a breath and said maybe we could go out? Kenzie ignored Faith jumping on the couch singing "YAY" and asked me if I was sure. I said we should try to include Faith to see how she did and Kenzie whispered and asked me "So this is a date? You're asking me on a date?" I said it was dinner and our date would be something special and monster free and she blushed and mumbled "Our date" as she snagged Faith and said let's get ready for dinner.

We were at the restaurant, and Kenzie looked beautiful in her blue dress with her hair pulled back in a hairband. This was the first time I looked at her and didn't see the kid from across the street, she was a beautiful young woman. The waitress was a family friend named Linda and she was very good and on her way to a huge tip. Linda brought Faith a piece of cake and she asked if it was her birthday. I said "No baby, Linda is just being nice" and she said... yup, you guessed it... "YAY". Linda glanced at Kenzie and said it was good to see me, I hadn't been in since... I took a deep breath and Kenzie held my hand and Linda apologized and asked who my friend was. Before I could speak Faith showered us with cake as she excitedly said Kenzie was going to be her new mommy and started singing "Daddy and Kenzie sitting in a tree". Linda laughed, Kenzie bonked her head on the table and I sighed and hung my head as Faith continued to giggle and sing. I realized Linda was still standing there and I sighed and said "This is my girl...uh... my friend Kenzie" and handed her my credit card. She touched Kenzie on the shoulder and whispered something and Kenzie smiled and said she was trying and Linda left. I asked Kenzie what Linda had said and she smiled and said "Nothing" and held my hand again.

I left Linda a nice tip and she hugged Faith and gave her a piece of candy and I groaned "Awesome". Right before bed. Yay. Kenzie somehow tricked her to trading the candy for a quarter and I was actually impressed. We tried to put Faith to bed but it was clear she was wound up so I let her lay on the couch with cartoons. I planned to do some paperwork but Kenzie was still in her dress and smiled when I moved away from the table and took her hand out to the pool deck. She said Linda told her she would never find a nicer guy and that she should lock me down and I realized her reply had been "I'm trying". I looked at Kenzie and said I needed her to be patient with me and she stood and moved to sit in my lap and said she would. It occurred to me that it was like Andrea's soul was inside Kenzie and I was overwhelmed with an incredible warm tingly feeling. I tried to catch my breath and I whispered "I love you Andrea" and then the feeling was gone. Kenzie said we should get the monster to bed and we found her passed out on the couch. I carried her to bed and Kenzie got her out of her dress and tucked her in and said "She's okay with this you know" and I whispered "So is Andrea".

We said goodnight, but this time she didn't show up and I fell asleep thinking about her smile, her laugh. The next morning I awoke and went to roll over but my arm was stuck and I realized Kenzie was in my bed sound asleep with my arm under her. I slipped it out carefully and she sighed and rolled to snuggle me and lay her arm across me. I sighed and she whispered "No surprise this morning?" and I stayed silent because I was hard again. She opened her eyes and said "Really?" and I swallowed and she tentatively lifted the covers, saw the bulge in my sweats and blushed. Kenzie snuggled closer and asked "Is that... did I...?" and I said we didn't have to talk about it. Faith came in but she didn't screech or scream and she said she was tired. I hugged her when she crawled beside me and I realized she didn't try to get between Kenzie and I. Eventually I groaned and said "Time to get my ladies moving" and Kenzie sat up and looked sexy frazzled, sleepy and rumpled. She blew her hair out of her face and took Faith's hand and said "Shower time" and I took one of my own and this time ignored my erection until it went away. By the time I was dressed Faith was eating a poptart and Kenzie was braiding her hair. Kenzie had showered too and looked nice in her shorts and modest blouse and I was staring at her when she caught my eye and smiled at me.

Faith looked at me all serious and asked "Daddy? Is Z your girlfriend now?" I set my glass down and Kenzie said "Yes" but daddy still needed time to miss mommy so maybe we didn't need to talk about it all the time? Faith sighed so dramatically that it was cute and then she said "Okay". I missed the part where Kenzie and I became a couple but she said I would be late and she would see me tonight and I kissed Faith and stopped at the door. Kenzie was watching me think about it and then she decided for me and walked over and we finally had our first real kiss. It was warm and passionate and she was gentle as we kissed for a long moment then she stepped back and smiled. I made it until lunch and then I texted Kenzie with "Hey" and she replied "Hey yourself". I didn't know what to say and a few minutes later she texted me a red heart. Dinner was great and Kenzie told me there was no school tomorrow because of a water main issue so she would take Faith to the park and maybe visit me at work. I smiled and said I would like that and she held my hand as we ate. Again we went to our bedrooms but this time she was in my doorway only a few minutes later and she didn't wait for me, she got into bed and stared at me.

Kenzie said she wasn't ready for sex and I gasped and she said "Hold on" and said she was still a virgin and again I gasped. She blushed and said what she would like is if we slept together and when we were ready we would know. She seemed nervous and I knew that had to be hard for her to come out and say and I said we could sleep together any night she wanted. She was apparently waiting for more and I said "Uh..," and told her I needed time before I could be intimate but that the truth was I did find her arousing and wouldn't mind making out. She smiled and said "Yay" and grinned to let me know that the yay was on purpose. That night we kissed a little and held each other and we fell asleep snuggled together. The next morning she was already dressed and brushing her hair and said I might want to get a shower, monster was still asleep. I got into the shower and she came into the bathroom and asked if I was okay. I said how about we went at her pace and she smiled and said "Thank you". Kenzie stole glances at me and I asked her did she want to see and she blushed and said "Not yet" but stole another glance.

Kenzie looked out towards the bedroom and asked why I didn't get excited last night and I said I wasn't sure and she pouted until I said she knew better than that. She handed me a towel, got a good look at my cock, blushed and then left without another word. I was getting dressed when she came back into the bedroom and said she would like to try a little more tonight and I smiled as she blushed and left the room again. Kenzie kissed me goodbye again but this time said she didn't want to be embarrassed when she brought Faith to see me. I didn't understand and she asked me "What are we?" I looked at Faith picking the marshmallows out of the box hoping we didn't notice and I smiled and asked "Mackenzie will you be my girlfriend?" she blushed and kissed me full on, tongue and all and it was passionate. I said "Seems like yes" and she told Faith "Daddy's leaving" and she ran over and said we needed a new game, ours were boring. I sighed and gave Kenzie my Mastercard and my Powerup Rewards card and she smiled and said "Got it".

I stared at the clock and my boss came in and sat down and said my numbers were up and he would probably give me another bonus Friday. He wanted to know who the lucky girl was still and I sighed and said it was Kenzie. He said "The cute nanny?" and I warned him "Bob" and he said "Wow". Bob said "What are you 24 still?" and I nodded and he said his wife was 9 years older than him and he would deck anyone who had a problem with it. I grinned and said that was because Desiree was a stone cold fox and he laughed and said "Yeah, I sure got lucky". I said his money didn't hurt and he leaned forward and said the secret was, her money paid for all of this and I gasped. He stood to leave and said they would have us out to the house so Faith could play with Kimberly and I said I would talk to Kenzie about it. I told him she would be coming by later with Faith and he stood and said that was probably why I hadn't done any fucking work today.

Bob laughed and left and I made some calls. Later there was some commotion in the outer office and as soon as I saw Kenzie I gasped and knew why. She had on a short black miniskirt with a blue blouse that hugged her trim torso and teased her ample cleavage. She looked sexy and I smiled as Faith was hugging my brother-in-law Roger and he sat her on his desk and gave her a lollipop. Kenzie came in and I hugged her, said Roger was Faith's uncle, and then kissed her and she smiled and then blushed and kissed me back. I told her she looked great and she asked since we lived together should she dress up or what. Wow, that was a question. I said she should dress how she wanted to and when we went somewhere of course she could dress up. I said she was beautiful no matter what she wore and she smiled and said "Oh, well I guess all the lingerie goes back".

I couldn't tell if she was serious

Roger waved to let me know Faith was fine and I sat down and Kenzie surprised me and pushed my chair back and sat on my lap, She said this skirt was short but she figured it would give people something to talk about around here. I smiled and asked did she dress sexy just to show everyone how lucky I was and she stared at me. I asked "What?" and she asked me did I realize that I just complimented her? Bob came in and told Kenzie to take me home, I was worthless anyways and she laughed until he said "Go on, get out of here". He invited us to his house and she looked at me and said "Uh ok" and I said she would love Desiree and Bob said "No you love Desiree". Kenzie looked at me and I smiled and she asked who was Desiree and Bob took her to his office to show her the 30 pictures he had of his smoking hot wife. There was no way Desiree was 40, i'm just saying. Faith came in and asked where Z was and I said "With Uncle Bob" and she came around to my drawer where she knew she would find candy and took a pack of gummi bears. Faith climbed up in a chair and tattled on Kenzie for buying the skirt and blouse today and I said it was okay.

Faith sighed and said she didn't understand and I asked what didn't she understand? She opened her gummi bears and said Kenzie bought some new underwear and said it was special for daddy but she didn't know why daddy would wants girls underwear. I gasped and said she must have misunderstood but Faith insisted that Z said over and over that daddy would like this, and she knew daddy would like this. I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time and Kenzie came in and said "What?" Faith sighed and asked if she could tell me about the raider and Kenzie said "Tomb Raider?". Faith said yeah, Z bought that for you daddy and I got a turtles game. I smiled and looked at Kenzie and asked if she had my Mastercard and she smiled and said she would hang onto it for me. I sighed and pulled out my Capitol One card and she swapped my Mastercard for it. Kenzie sat down and realized she had given me a real good flash of her pink panties and she blushed and said maybe we would save this skirt for just us and I said "Good idea". I stood up and was about to pack my laptop and she looked at me and I changed my mind and shut it down and closed it.

We stopped at Little Caesars because for some reason Faith likes their pizza and McDonalds french fries and when we pulled up at home Kenzie said "Remember our deal?" and Faith said "Okay" and took a Toys R Us bag and went inside. I said "You bribed her?" and she smiled and said "Technically you did". I sighed and said "To do what?" and she said we were going to snuggle on the couch and play games. I said "What's in the bag?' and she kissed me to distract me. I gasped when I saw Faith at the table struggling to open the box holding a Kindle and there were at least 2 boxes of Lego Friends sitting there and I banged my head against the fridge and asked "Kenz... how much did you spend?" she muttered to herself for a few seconds and finally said "Around $700 but that's okay because you have like..." I kissed her to silence her and nodded towards Faith and she said "Oh". I said from now on please use the Capital One card until I got her a card of her own. She stared at me and I said the Mastercard was the settlement and she said "Sorry" I hugged her and said she didn't know. I pointed to the box and said "A Kindle? Really? She's 5" and Kenzie sighed and said Faith really wanted a tablet but she talked her into the Kindle. I logged into our Amazon account so Faith could use Prime and she was watching cartoons while she got her Legos everywhere.

Kenzie pouted and said I was mad at her and I said actually I wasn't, I had to learn to trust her with Faith and she immediately said "Wow that's huge". I said "I'm in this, please don't break our heart?" and she kissed me and said she wanted to go change out of this skirt before I dragged her to the bedroom. We stared at each other for a long moment after she said that and I said "Ok" and she shuffled her feet and looked towards the bedroom as if considering it, then sighed and smiled and whispered "Tonight" and hurried down the hall and went into my bedroom. Faith said "Daddy?" and I went over and she showed me the cute little girl minifigures and she asked me why Z moved stuff into my room today. I heard Kenzie gasp all the way out here and laughed at my little spy and I said Kenzie was going to sleep with daddy now and Faith sighed. I asked her what was wrong and she asked if we had to forget mommy now and my knees buckled and I hit my head on the table and crashed to the floor. Kenzie came running and Faith was crying and Kenzie sat on the floor and held my head in her lap while Faith hugged me and they both cried.

I sat up with a killer headache and held Faith and said we would never forget mommy, I loved mommy and wished she were here, but she can't be and instead God and mommy gave us Kenzie because they wanted us to be happy. Kenzie was staring at me like I had proposed and Faith shuddered, sniffled and even though Kenzie was sitting right there rubbing my back, Faith said Z can't leave us now daddy. Kenzie started to cry again and said she won't and now Faith was hugging her so I got up and put a frozen bag of corn on my aching head. Kenzie handed me Faith and I said I thought maybe she needed to help me play Tomb Raider but Faith sighed and said she would rather play with her Legos. Kenzie kissed me softly and said she wanted me to know she would never hurt Faith, no matter what. I held her and said that was all I could ask and we went and played some puzzle games instead of Tomb Raider. I knew when Faith was banging her Legos around that she was getting tired and helped her clean up and off to bed and she said she loved me and sighed and closed her eyes. I kissed her and turned off the light and then helped Kenzie clean up.

Kenzie held my hand and we went out to the patio and she sat next to me with our feet in the pool and she said she wanted to tell me something but I had to promise to listen. She said she was only 18 and all her friends were hanging out, partying, kissing boys, getting into trouble. She said I would be 25 next month and I had beautiful 5 year old daughter and worked full time and had alot of responsibility. I was getting nervous and she sensed it and held my hand and said anyone else her age would be running away and she wasn't. I let go of her hand, I didn't see that coming. She said she has liked me for years, but knew I didn't even see her, she was just the kid from across the street. She looked at me and said "You said it yourself". I swallowed and said I was sorry and she stared at me and then said she couldn't explain it, honestly it didn't make sense, but she loved me and wanted this to be real. I asked "You love me?" and she said "I do" Kenzie said she didn't want to be paid to be here anymore, she wanted to be here because I wanted her to be, and I understood now and told her we would take the money and put it in the bank for her to have, to spend and she said "Fine".

Kenzie said she really didn't want to talk about this anymore tonight, we could just learn as we went along, and she would give me all the time I needed for Andrea. I sighed and she said she decided today to give me something, and it was something she was saving for someone special and once she gave it away it would be gone, she could never get it back. I gasped and she said she didn't want to talk about it and we should go to bed before she changed her mind. I locked up and she turned everything off and we went to bed and she watched me silently as I saw she had indeed moved some things, rearranged some others and now this was our room. I kissed her and she asked me to get undressed and get into bed. She slipped off her sweats and did that amazing thing women do where she reached under her shirt, unclasped her bra, and spun it and pulled it out her sleeve. Kenzie got into bed and peeked to see I was naked and blushed and said "Be patient with me?"

She laid down on her back and smiled at me and I brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her softly. She sighed and pulled me to her and she was warm and shaking slightly. I looked at her and she said she was ok and kissed me again. We kissed for a few minutes and there was no hiding that I was getting hard and she smiled and I whispered "What?" Kenzie blushed and asked did I realize I haven't even seen her naked and yet this was the third time I had gotten hard around her. I looked up towards the ceiling and counted silently, then shook my head and said "17". Kenzie smiled then her eyes went wide and she gasped and said "17? are you serious?" and I kissed her and said I was in mourning, not dead. Kenzie stared at me then said "Nhhh get off" and I moved off her as she sat up and pulled her shirt off and her breasts were perfect. Round and natural and firm and her nipples stood proudly erect and she asked "Well?" I kissed her between them and she lay back as I took my time kissing every inch of her firm chest. I sucked gently on each stiff nipple until she pulled me up to kiss her and she was breathing hard. We kissed and she slipped her fingers down and now held my aching cock and her eyes were glazed and I was two blocks past aroused.

Kenzie was breathless as she asked me why... why did I want her, why did I love her. Even in my hyper aroused state it was simple, one word really and when i whispered it she asked "What?" even as she kissed me warmly. I drew a deep breath and tried to focus with her warm hand wrapped around my rock hard cock. I said the reason I want you, the reason I love you is your innocence. Kenzie gasped and let go of my cock and whispered she was ready, she was ready now. I moved to take her panties off and she looked at me for the first time with clear lust and she smiled and said "I'm ready" as I slipped her panties off her hips.
