Running Away, Sheila's Story

This was the first time that we made love and all during that summer we made love over and over again. Some days we only got out of bed to eat or go swimming. He knew every button to push to make me do anything and everything. I was more relaxed and comfortable at that time than at any other time in my life. I was sure that I had died and gone to heaven.

I almost didn't go back to school at the end of summer, but I did. My senior year was a lot different than the previous three. I concentrated on my studies and had a lot less adventures. I still had the occasional party to relieve my pent up sexual tensions but there was nothing those college boys could do to match what was waiting for me when I got home.

After graduation I started to work for daddy. He made me his personal assistant and gave me the title of Customer Relations Assistant. That was a fancy title for making whatever client or customer or associate that did business with Bloom Enterprises happy during their stay. I arranged hotels, meals, travel, meetings, entertainment, and the occasional lady to keep the client company at night. Whatever they wanted or needed, I helped to provide. It was a nice easy job and it gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of people. It also allowed me to be close to daddy. We were careful not to let anybody see us together in any way other than in a professional manner. And when we took off together nobody thought anything of it.

We continued to be together whenever we could. We would make love passionately. I think the housekeepers knew about us because of the screams coming from the bedroom but they wanted to keep their jobs so they never said anything. In public we would do the things that a father and daughter would normally do, nothing that would make anybody think that anything is going on between us. After the one time at the club where we danced together we were very discrete.

It was about two years after I graduated that I met Leo. I think the reason I fell for him was that he was a knight in shining armor. He came to my rescue. Nobody ever did that for me before. Well, it happened like this. In the spring Bloom had its annual corporate picnic and all of the staff and their spouses were invited. I was part of the group that organized the whole thing. On the day of the picnic my job was done and all I had to do was relax and enjoy the socializing and the music. A couple hours after it started I saw a familiar face in the crowd. It was one of my old boyfriends from college, Bobby. I don't think he ever got over the fact that I was through with him and I moved on, but there he was. I didn't remember him coming to work for us so I went over to him and asked what he was doing there. He said he came looking for me to tell me something important and could we go somewhere private to talk. I had no idea what he wanted to say so we went down past the parking area to a small secluded picnic area to talk.

When we got there I saw that there were three of his friends waiting. He said that I shouldn't have dumped him like I did and he didn't think it was over. He wanted to make up but I refused. That's when he started kissing me and pawing me all over. Before I knew it he had me on the ground and was ripping my clothes off. I couldn't scream because he clamped his hand over my mouth while he pulled and tore at me. I struggled and was starting to get the advantage when he hit me. He hit me several times hard with his fist and kneed me in the stomach. At that point I was hurting a lot and too weak to put up too much of a struggle. He got most of my clothes off of me and started to pull his pants down when I notice the three other guys. They were standing next to us with their cocks in their hands stroking them saying things like "Yeah, Bobby, fuck her good," and "Man, I got sloppy seconds on this bitch," and "Save her asshole for me man." I knew I was in trouble because they all intended to rape me right there. By that time Bobby was stroking in and out of me with an angry expression on his face.

That's when I heard, "What in the hell is going on here?" come from the bushes behind the three audience members. I saw this man push his way through the three guys jerking off and grab Bobby and pull him off of me. I couldn't see what happened next too well but I understand that Bobby hit this man and knocked him to the ground. Then this man kicked Bobby in the knee and I heard a loud crack. After that Bobby was on the ground screaming in pain. The three guys picked him up and just like they were in some sort of screwy group hug ran off. I fell back onto the ground and felt blood running down my face when the man came up and asked if I was all right. I looked into this face and passed out. That's the last thing I remember until I woke up in the hospital with daddy standing next to me. He said that the caught the fellow that did this to me and he was in jail. Daddy was going to "burn his ass for this." We were talking about what happened when I realized that the man they had in jail was the one that pulled Bobby off of me and not Bobby. I explained everything to daddy and he said that he would straighten things out.

A week later we had a dinner at our house for the man that saved my life. I met Leo again that day but this time under better circumstances. I was taken with him right away. He was intelligent and friendly and good looking and had a quiet confidence about him. At one point my father offered to give him "anything you want for saving my little girl." Leo thanked him but refused. I could see that daddy was a little perturbed because he didn't like to owe anybody anything and he felt that he owed Leo a reward. That evening we got to know each other and I felt something different for him than any other man I've known. I liked being around him and I wanted more. I didn't have any sexual desire for him right away and that was probably the first time in my life I felt like that. This was different. I asked him if he would like to go out with me some time and he said yes.

We dated for about six months. And in all that time he was the perfect gentleman and always treated me with respect. It was after the first month that we made love for the first time. I felt genuine warmth for him that I never felt before for anybody else, except for daddy. But Leo was different from daddy. Our lovemaking was always tender and loving. We never did anything wild or outlandish. He genuinely cared for me when we were together. I told daddy that I wanted to see where our relationship was going to go and asked that he please don't interfere or say anything to Leo. I was starting to feel something more than friendship for him. I realized that I had fallen in love with him. When he asked me to marry him I was the happiest woman in the world. Without thinking about anything else I said 'Yes'.

I told daddy and could see that he was both happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that I was in love with Leo and was going to get married and settle down and raise a family. He was also sad because we were going to stop being together. That night we made love tenderly and passionately because we both knew that it was the last time. When I kissed him goodbye in the morning I knew that I broke his heart and in some small way mine was also broken.

Leo and I were married in the most lavish and expensive ceremony that that town had ever seen. We went on our honeymoon to Tahiti and had the most glorious time. The first thing we did when we got back was look for a house. Daddy found one for us just down the street from the Bloom estate. I could walk from house to house easily. We had a wonderful marriage. I regret not telling Leo about my past. I couldn't tell him about daddy and me of course but my college days might come back to haunt me some day. I considered it but in the end I thought that if anything came up then I could use my money to get rid of it. Thank God it never did.

I was always faithful to Leo. At no time after we were married did I ever look at another man, or woman for that matter. Everything I did in college was in the past and I wanted it left there. I included daddy as part of my past too. I loved Leo and all I wanted to do was to be his wife and be with him and him alone for the rest of my life. Believe it or not I loved him as much as one person could love another.

About a year or so later daddy showed up at the house with a young blond woman in tow. He introduced her to us as Jennifer, his new wife. I was stunned but felt that if he was happy and content then I was happy for him too. The more I got to know Jennifer the more I disliked her. I felt that she married daddy to get her hands on his money. Whenever I would go to visit daddy Jennifer would hover around and listen in to what we had to say. I don't think she was too bright but she always seemed to be listening in, almost as though she had a hidden agenda of some sort. It didn't take too long before I could see that daddy had finished with her and he no longer cared if she left or stayed.

About that time Leo and I decided to start a family. I went off of my birth control pills and we made love whenever we could. We were having trouble conceiving just like my parents had. We consulted the doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong with either of us. They just recommended for us to keep trying. It made things a little tense around the house because I believe we each secretly blamed the other for our problems.

One day I was over at daddy's when we started talking about Jennifer.

"Baby, I'm tired of her. She takes my money and spends in on junk. Her jewelry box is choking with expensive necklaces and rings and stuff that she doesn't wear. Her allowance is never enough. Now she's working to improve herself. She's got a personal trainer to help her shape up her already gorgeous body. She doesn't spend as much time in bed as I want her to."

"I'm sorry daddy, can I do anything?"

"I want you back. I want you here with me in my arms and in my bed. I miss you. Can you come over tonight? I'll make sure that Jennifer is out somewhere. She won't mind going shopping and spending more of my money. I just want us to be together again."

"No daddy, I can't. I'm an old married woman now. I love Leo and I don't want to hurt him. If he ever found out about us it would just kill him."

"I understand. You don't want him to find out about all the things you've done. He would probably divorce you if he ever knew. He's a good man and it would just kill him. I know that when you were in college you did a lot of wild things. I know this because I paid off several people that had photos and videos of some of your escapades. I looked at most of it and what I saw was pretty extreme. I have a whole drawer full. And you remember those videos we made the summer we were together. Well, I didn't get rid of them like I told you I did. I wanted to keep them as a reminder of that summer. They're in with that stuff I bought from your friends at school. Now you wouldn't want Leo to find out about this would you?"

"Of course I wouldn't. You wouldn't show it to him would you?"

"Well maybe not me but somebody that doesn't like you might. Jennifer is a conniving bitch and I wouldn't put it past her."

"What does she know? Does she know about us?"

"She may know everything. I have everything locked up in my office but I'm sure that Jennifer has been in there snooping around and probably found it. There's no telling exactly how much she knows."

"Oh my God. If Leo finds out about that stuff he'd leave me for sure. I never told him about what I did before we got married and I certainly never told him about us. We might get past the college stuff but knowing about you and me would kill him. I can't let him know. How can we find out what she knows? What can I do?"

"You can come over tonight and be with me. I'll do everything to keep her quiet even if that means paying her off too. I'll do anything to protect you. I'll protect you if you come and stay with me tonight."

"I can't. I can't lie to Leo. I can't cheat on him. I can't risk hurting him to be with you."

"Baby, I'll make sure that nobody ever finds out about your past. Just come over tonight and have dinner with me. Tell Leo that we've got a business dinner and you have to be there to help some clients. After dinner we can be together like old times."

"No daddy, I said I can't and I won't. It's wrong. I won't risk my marriage." I got up to leave.

"Sit down! Listen to me carefully," he said in a very business-like manner. "Dinner tonight or I won't do anything to keep Jennifer quiet. Be with me just this one time. It's your choice to make. One evening with me or risk having Jennifer tell your husband."

I sat down and put my head in my hands and started to sob. "No daddy, please, I can't. Don't make me. I'll do anything to protect Leo but not again, please?"

"OK it's your choice. I don't like it any more than you do but if your past hits the fan then I won't do anything to help clean up the mess. You're on your own."

"Oh God no, daddy no! Please help me."

"It's out of my hands now. You made your choice."

After a long silence between us I said, "OK then, Goddamn it, I'll do what you want. Do you always have to get your way, even with me?"

"That's my girl. I knew you would make the right decision. Be here at six for dinner."

"Shit, do I have a choice?"

"No, not really."

"OK, I'll be here at six."

I went home and told Leo the lie that daddy made up. He believed me because he couldn't think that I would ever lie to him. I felt awful lying but I didn't have a choice and didn't want him hurt. Daddy's promise to protect me from Jennifer may have been the pressure that made me decide to go over there that night but in the back of my mind I knew that daddy and I were going to be together just like we were back in college. Maybe I wanted him as much as he wanted me, I don't know, but I knew that whatever I did it would hurt Leo. I didn't want to hurt him but I just couldn't say no to daddy. All the time I was getting ready I was crying and thinking about how controlling daddy can be. I arrived at his door at six. That night we had dinner and danced on the patio. When we kissed all of the memories of the passion we had that summer came flooding back into my head. I thought about the exhausting love making sessions. I thought about the nights we laid in bed holding each other tenderly. I thought about the emotions that I felt when we were together. And just like alcohol, these thoughts broke through that right or wrong barrier and I found myself kissing him back passionately. I didn't think about how daddy pressured me into being there or how it would hurt Leo if he found out, all I thought about was the passion that I felt. It was like a drug and I was too weak to resist. I was addicted and wanted more.

We made love just like before. It was exhausting and exhilarating. I came so many times I lost track of the count. He came inside me twice and in my mouth a third time. It was midnight before I got home. Leo was asleep in front of the TV so I just sat on the couch beside him, put my head on his shoulder, and fell asleep too. I was totally exhausted.

I went over to daddy's for dinner and lovemaking about once a week. I used the same excuse to Leo about helping clients. It was about two months later that I missed my period. I waited until after I confirmed with the doctor that I was pregnant to tell Leo. He was jumping off of the walls he was so happy. We immediately went over to daddy's and told him. He had a mixture of happiness and sadness on his face that I understood. We celebrated by going out to Chez Larry's for one of his delicious prime rib dinners. The next week I went over and saw daddy to talk about everything.

"Daddy, I'm worried about Leo. I tell him that I come over here to help with clients and he believes me. He trusts me. Now we've got the baby. He's so happy right now I can't do anything that might jeopardize us. Daddy, I've got to stop coming over here to be with you. Help me out with Jennifer. Please don't let her tell Leo about my past. Please?"

"I promised that I would and I always keep my promise."

"I love you and I don't want to hurt you either but I've got to think about Leo and the baby right now. After the baby comes you won't want a fat old mommy like me anyway. I don't want to hurt you. I just want you to be as happy as I am right now."

"I understand baby. Believe it or not I am happy for you. You'll make a wonderful mother. I miss you already."

We kissed goodbye again. I remember back at the first time we said goodbye and feel the same pain as I did then. I didn't want to hurt him. I loved him.

After Sarah was born I wasn't feeling right. I wasn't sleeping well, I didn't have any desire to do anything, I was irritable and cranky all the time, and the worst part was that I didn't want anything to do with Sarah. I stayed that way for a couple months before we talked to our doctor about it. He said that I was suffering from postpartum depression just like my mother did. He prescribed an antidepressant medication and pretty soon I was feeling like my old self. We went back to normal and within a few months I didn't need the antidepressant any more. All during that time Leo took care of me and pampered me. He never got mad or felt put upon by anything he had to do. He said that he wanted to do these things for us. I was so happy that he was there with me. He also took care of Sarah. He bathed her and changed her when she needed it and fed her at every meal. He never complained one time.

Life goes on and soon we were back in our groove. We had a nanny for Sarah while we were at work. We did things as a family just like any other family would. We went over and visited daddy and let him play with his granddaughter about every week. He was happy to have a family once again. Jennifer was conspicuously gone now since she had recently run away with her personal trainer. But that didn't mean that daddy was alone. He had a number of young women staying at the house from time to time; it's just that none were special enough to marry. I secretly missed him but I only came over to visit with Leo and Sarah.

About the time Sarah was two years old I had an occasion to go over to daddy's by myself. He asked me to bring him some contracts from work. That was the first time I was going to be alone with him since before Sarah was born. I was a little worried about what he would say and do but when I got there I found he wasn't alone. There were several women in the pool with him. He was having a party with a blond, a brunette, and a redhead. Everyone was naked. I felt jealous. He was playing around in the pool with these women just like he had played with me. He saw me standing there on the patio and just smiled at me. I threw the papers on the patio table and left. I was thinking all the way home that I was old and used up just like all of his ex-wives. I was feeling sorry for myself and started to cry. When Leo came home I tried to act cheerful but he saw through my act and put me to bed. I went to work the next day but didn't talk to daddy. I tried to avoid him. I was still feeling old and used up and didn't want him to see me.

It was a week after I saw the three women in the pool that daddy confronted me at work.

"So, what to you think of my new friends?"

"I didn't notice."

"You can't fool me. I saw the expression on your face when you saw us. You were mad. I'll bet that you were jealous too. Leo said that you didn't feel well for the next couple days and just stayed in bed. That doesn't sound like you didn't notice to me."

"OK so I saw you. Why should I care? You can do whatever you want with anybody you want. It doesn't matter to me."
