For the first time ever, I have removed a story based on reader feedback and complaints, and I have edited and rewritten all parts, specifically what were once parts 3 and 4. I hope the result is what you were looking for, and thank you for always being honest, if not brutal.

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 Andrea passed from injuries from a car accident when the brakes on a City trash truck failed. 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 though, 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 brought over 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 is 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,and my whole world was Andrea. Kenzie is very pretty, radiant, with a petite 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 she was 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 that combined with 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. All I asked was that she 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 almost ignored in wallowing in my self pity. 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 she caught me standing there staring at her body.

The first spark occurred one evening after the three of us had dinner together and Faith kissed and hugged me but wanted "Z" to put her to bed. Faith had trouble with certain words and letters and hadn't mastered ‘K' yet, so it was ‘Z' instead of Kenzie. Faith 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 moved her arm around my neck and sighed then kissed me and I froze right where I was in the hall as with her eyes closed she pressed against my lips until I responded. She sighed and we kissed lips to lips for several seconds then she 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 the next morning and Kenzie was friendly and sweet like always. Saturday my parents took Faith to the park and I went with my brother-in-law Roger to visit Andrea. We both spoke to her stone quietly and I cried and asked her would she please come back, I would work less, pay more attention to her. Roger put his hand on my shoulder and said she loved me completely and don't ever think otherwise. I apologized for kissing Kenzie and Roger was silent, and so was Andrea, and a few minutes later Roger hugged me and we went our separate ways.

I got home and Kenzie was lying around the pool waiting for her friend to come over and she made a point of showing me her new bikini and I blushed because she really had a nice body. She pressed up against me and smiled then she seemed nervous, blushed and apologized and I went and 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 once Tanya arrived as 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 it was Andrea who had 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 "Seriously, 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 put 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 somewhere 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 asked if 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 for a moment, held my hand for a few seconds, then let go of it and left the room.

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 Grandma 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 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. 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 other 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". 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 her green panties fit her just right. 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 discussing who got more 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 well 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 closed her eyes and blushed 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 touched my hand and said she hasn't dated anyone in over a year, Tommy hurt her and humiliated her so much that she withdrew and focused on school and sports. I told her I would never hurt her like that and she smiled softly and sighed then stood and took my hand. Kenzie said we should get the monster to bed and we found her passed out on the couch. I carried Faith 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 as 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 all 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 exciting 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 did but I wasn't sure what she wanted to do 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 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 swiping the marshmallows out of the cereal box hoping we didn't notice and I smiled and asked "Mackenzie will you be my girlfriend?" Kenzie 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 offered to give Kenzie my bankcard but she smiled and said "I got it".

I stared at the clock and my boss Bob 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 Desiree 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 to clients. 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 were dating 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 "I sure do". 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 she looks nice.

Faith sighed and said she didn't understand and I asked what didn't she understand? She opened her gummi bears and said Z bought some new underwear and said it was special for daddy, but she didn't know why daddy would want 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 asked "What?" Faith sighed and asked if she could tell me about the raider and Kenzie asked "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 wanted some money and she said "Nope, i'm fine". 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 gave me the cutest pout 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 with McDonald's 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 "Maybe a little". I sighed and said "To do what?" and she said we were going to snuggle on the couch and play videogames. I asked "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 I pointed to the box and said "A Kindle? Really? She's 5". 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 trust her with Faith and she immediately said "Wow that's huge". I said "I'm in this, please don't break our heart?" Kenzie 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 that and she sighed and said "Uh... Ok". Kenzie shuffled her feet and looked towards the bedroom as if considering it, then sighed and smiled and went 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 I caught my breath and I closed my eyes and said we were never going to forget mommy. Faith hugged me and said she was glad I kiss Z now because Z told Tanya she wants to kiss me all the time. Again Kenzie gasped from the bedroom while Faith smiled at me as if life was good.

I said 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 came out of the bedroom and was staring at me like I had proposed and Faith smiled and said ‘Yay". Kenzie kissed me softly and said she wanted me to know she would never hurt me or 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 was stealing glances at me and sighing and I held her hand and we went to bed. She was a little bolder tonight and she pulled off her dress and smiled as I watched her do it, then she slipped on one of my t-shirts and climbed into bed. I saw she had indeed moved some of her things into the room, rearranged some others, and now suddenly this was our room.

I was undressing and Kenzie was blushing and seemed like she was trying to say something and I said she could tell me anything, I wouldn't get upset. She swallowed and said maybe I didn't have to wear sweats to bed and she quickly started smoothing imaginary wrinkles in the comforter as if to distract herself from my response. I changed into a t-shirt and got under the covers in just my shirt and underwear and she avoided eye contact at first as she moved closer to me. Kenzie lay on her back and shifted around nervously then lay there looking at me as if waiting. I moved beside her and as I eased close to kiss her she smiled slightly and closed her eyes. It was romantic and I kissed her softly as she slowly eased her hands around me and held my back. I kissed her warmly, slowly, patiently. Kenzie was pulling me closer, gently, and our bodies pressed together and we kissed for a moment until she wiggled and said "Hold on". She pushed me off her gently and sat up, fumbled under her shirt and unclasped her bra, then moved around until she pulled it out one sleeve and off her arm. Her nipples were excited and poked against the material of the shirt and she sighed and dropped the bra to the floor.

Kenzie was blushing and nervous and she smiled slightly and peeked under the covers at me. When I realized what she wanted I lifted my shirt and she saw the bulge and blushed and dropped the covers. She smiled as she lay back and with a serious look she whispered "I'm not ready yet okay?" I kissed her softly and said there was no rush and she sighed as we kissed warmer, longer. She pulled at my shirt and hoping I was right I lifted it up and she took it off and dropped it to the floor. She rubbed and touched my chest, my sides and back and she looked at me nervously and said this is the farthest she had ever been. I touched her face and said we could stop and she let out a long, slow sigh and said "Yeah". She pulled me to her almost as if reassuring herself I wouldn't leave, and we fell asleep warm and snuggling. I awoke to her kissing me softly and she pulled me to her and for once I was nervous because she guided me to lay between her legs and atop her. She was warm and soft and I was nervous and excited as she held my back and kissed me softly.

Kenzie whispered "Good morning" and kissed me again and I slipped my arms around and under her and gave her a huge hug and said "Good morning". My cock was stiffening and she realized it as it was pressed against her warm pussy with only her panties and my underwear between us. She swallowed and kissed me softly but her eyes were open and hyper focused as she apparently felt each shift as I hardened against her. Kenzie eased my face back and was about to say something when Faith appeared and asked "What are you guys doing?" Thankfully Kenzie still had her t-shirt on and my arms were still under her as I said "I'm just hugging Kenzie good morning". Faith got a serious look on her face and sighed and said "Ok daddy" and Kenzie asked her to get in the shower. Kenzie kissed me softly and blushed and asked if I was okay and I sighed and said "I am" and kissed her. I eased off Kenzie and she looked up at me laying there with her hair rumpled, her shirt up at her tummy and her panties tight against her crotch and she sighed and said "To be continued?"
