Story
For years, Lily mercilessly tormented her step-daddy Jake. Wearing too-tight shirts, and too-tight shorts and towels that barely covered herself. But she never meant anything by it. Not really. She's a good girl, he's a good man, and he's helping her pack for a big move out of state to begin her belated freshman year of college. When she's walking down the hall, she hears him doing something she never imagined. In between heavy breaths, he's saying her name and saying the most wonderfully dirty things she's ever heard.

She can't stop thinking about her stepdaddy Paul. Ever since he married her mom, she can't get his brawny good looks and firm-but-gentle personality out of her mind. First, it was silly crush. These days though? It's gotten so bad that every time she takes a shower, she just can't help but imagine what it would be like to have him, to be with him.

Story
Home from college for the weekend, innocent little Lisey wakes up with a start from a naughty fantasy about her step-dad, Jacob. It's nothing, she tells herself, just another day-dream about the hottest man she's ever known. That's all it is, all it will ever be. She taunted him for years, wearing shorts and t-shirts so small that no man would ever let his daughter leave the house with, but Jacob never even acknowledged what she did. He's the perfect man. Sensitive, strong, muscular…but Lisey knows he'll never be hers.

Story
Gia is a good girl. The sort of good girl who won't even drink when she goes out to a bar with her girlfriends at college, and hasn't even let a boy get too far with her. Of course, she's also the sort of girl who has fantasies so naughty, so taboo and so wonderful that she'd never dream of telling anyone about them. Since she was little, she's been surrounded by love, care, and attention from the two men who were her stepdaddies, first Ben and then Drake.

Hottest story I've heard
- By Scott on 03-11-18
By: Terra Williams
Publisher's summary
When she's awake, Andi, an eighteen year-old Freshman at college, watches her roommate's boyfriend take his girlfriend in all sorts of ways. She can't help it - she's too shy to get a man for herself, but watching is the naughtiest and most thrilling thing she can think of. Well, except for one other thing…
When she sleeps, she dreams of the man she's been in love with for as long as she can remember. The man she taunted mercilessly, and who she's been saving herself for all this time just won't leave her fantasies alone…her daddy, Mike.
One weekend, when step-dad Mike asks Andi to stay over, she's going to finally get to see what it's like to have her fantasies come true. Mike's brutal, savage, primal urge to care for his daughter is dwarfed by his need to have her.
Warning: this erotic short story features taboo themes, domination, masturbation, voyeurism and a big, strong daddy who takes care of his little girl the way only a father can - by filling her up with his huge load.
