Samantha LaCroix

Get ready for some cherry-popping fun!

I know what you want. You want to read 20 stories about hard-and-ready daddies giving it deep and unprotected to their cute little innocent daughters. Well that happens to be exactly what I've got here!

Don't wait, come and read it now!

~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~

Marcus taps his foot as he looks around his 18-year old daughter's room.

"You know, I liked the last three things you showed me," he calls to her. "I don't think I need to see anything else."

"Oh, but daddy, this one looks so cute!" Katelyn calls back.

So Marcus, nodding, waits for his daughter to come back out to model more clothes for him.

Katelyn finally comes out and her daddy looks at her in her new clothes.

"What do you think?" she asks, excited. She spins around so he can see all of it.

"Wow," Marcus says, nodding. "You look really good. I mean it."

Katelyn flashes him a bright smile.

"Is this…" Marcus asks, coming forward. Before Katelyn can say anything he's right up next to her, grabbing the material of her shirt, leaning his head down to give it a close inspection.

"There's a hint of blue in here," he declares, and when he straightens up Katelyn is all too aware of how close he is to her.

"Yeah," she says, swallowing. "I, um…I know."

Marcus looks down at his little girl and she looks back up at him.

Marcus can't help but look his daughter up and down. She's got an amazing body, and such an open mind. She smiles when his eyes come back up to hers.

"You know," Marcus says, feeling his shaft stirring in his pants already. "I hope you don't mind me saying, but you would be amazing at sex."

Katelyn pulls in a breath and bites down on her lower lip.

"I wouldn't know," she says. "I'm still a virgin."

"Well then," Marcus says. "We'd better do something to fix that."

Without another word Katelyn wraps her arms around her daddy and plants her lips onto his. He wraps his arms around his little girl, his erection already present. Katelyn moans as she feels it push up against her, and she reaches down to grab it, breathing heavily out through her nose.
