He wanted to tell her these things but that was impossible at the moment. David had only seen his wife in this particular stage of anger twice over the past twenty-two years and he knew it was best to let her blow off steam by herself. When the anger was gone, they would talk about it, he would explain why he’d become so aroused while looking at their naked daughter’s body and she would understand. At the moment, though, she wasn’t ready to listen.
When he heard a soft tapping on his study door and Michelle’s voice calling him to dinner, David sighed heavily and stood slowly. He looked once more at the blank monitor screen and left the room.

They ate dinner in silence. That wasn’t normal for David and Michelle, yet he knew there was nothing he could do to change her mood. At the moment, she was hurt and angry and a word from him would probably make the situation worse than it was. So he ate in silence, his eyes on the plate of food before him.
After dinner, David took a long, hot shower, pulled a terry-cloth robe over his nude body and headed for his study. He almost shut the door before he realized that a closed door might make Michelle suspicious. She would notice a closed door and imagine him sitting in front of his computer and viewing the photographs of their daughter. That would certainly make the situation worse.
Instead, David sat down at his desk in full view of the open door and pulled a crime drama novel he’d been reading from a shelf over the monitor. He found the place he left off the night before and started reading, but the words seemed to float on the page. After ten minutes of reading the same page, he tossed the book back onto the shelf.
Suddenly a soft knock on his door brought David back to reality. He looked up and nearly choked when he saw Michelle standing in the doorway, leaning against the doorjamb and smiling beautifully. She was dressed in a black satin camisole with matching thong panties. What grabbed his attention was her hair. Michelle had tied her long dark hair into pigtails, much like Nicole’s hair in the pictures on his computer. He simply stared at his wife with open mouth, eyes drinking in her sexy body.
“I’ve been a bitch, haven’t I” she asked from the door.
“No. You had every right to be angry.” He cleared his throat and smiled at her. “Without an explanation you had no idea what had happened.”
“That’s just the point,” she said. “I didn’t let you offer an explanation.”
He nodded and after a brief pause, he asked, “Would you like to hear it?”
“Yes,” she said simply.
“When you showed me those pictures of Nicole, I was reminded of you when we met,” he said. “You were so beautiful, and you’re still just as beautiful.”
Michelle smiled softly. “But, looking at Nicole still aroused you a little, didn’t it? You did like what you saw and some of it didn’t have anything to do with me.”
David sucked in a deep breath. He could lie to Michelle and tell her that his daughter had had no effect on him whatsoever. But, she wasn’t stupid. She would see through his lie. The truth is he had enjoyed looking at his daughter’s naked body, had enjoyed seeing the pictures of her engaged in sex.
