A first, Sherry had been surprised, even a little shocked, when her father had slipped out of his robe and climbed into bed beside her. But as he held her close, cuddling her and massaging her back as he spoke of the wonderful future that lay ahead for both of them, she loved the warmth of his body and reassuring words and for the first time she had felt truly secure.

"Yes," he had said, "you deserve a reward – a very special reward – because you gave a splendid performance tonight and because you're old enough now to know better than to mention our personal affairs with anybody, absolutely anybody. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Daddy," she replied, feeling for the first time a man's erection pressing against her tummy. She felt no fear because she trusted Daddy and his warm hands that stroked her hair and back and bottom and, finally her budding breasts. She liked the nice things he was telling her about what a good girl she had been, and when he kissed and sucked on the nubs of her breasts she knew that he must love her very much to give her such a nice reward for tonight's applause.

"Yes, you're getting to be a big girl now," he said, "and it's time you learned a few very personal and private things. Private and secret things. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Daddy," she said, feeling her breath coming faster and Daddy's, too. He kissed her for a long time on the cheek as he tongued her breasts and ran his hands adoringly over her entire body. Then be kissed her full on the lips and told her he would always love his beautiful, beautiful daughter. She said she loved him too and that was the first time she had gone all mushy inside. Mushy was the only way she could describe it.

When he told her to lay on her back and spread her legs a little she obeyed willingly, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
