She'd still look even better without

"You'd still look better without it..." Jack heard himself grumbling, while looking at the flimsy garment in Catherine's hand, but realized just a second too late that his comment came out a bit wrong. Not that he hadn't been thinking along the same lines, but that wasn't the kind of thing he'd meant to say out loud, especially not to one of his own daughters. There was no time for regrets though, and all he could do was to keep a straight face, even while cursing his own poor choice of words under his breath.

"Oh, really...?" She flashed him a curious little smile, and then held up the small teddy in front of her to give it a throughout inspection, as if she was seriously thinking about wearing it just to prove him wrong. The grin she gave him through the transparent little garment seemed to confirm his worst suspicions, and he quietly steeled himself for the teasing he knew was about to come. "Are you sure it's not sheer enough as it is then?"

"That's not what I meant...!" He was about to tell her, but found himself speechless while watching the girl start actually trying the small piece of clothing on. There was no doubt she'd look great wearing that sexy little teddy, but the way she smiled and pranced while putting it on made her father think of some reversed kind of striptease, which in turn caused some part of him to react in a way that wasn't quite appropriate.

"You sure you don't like it?" Catherine winked at him, and looked like she was well aware of the bulge he was trying to hide underneath his covers. Jack just glared back at her though, but couldn't deny how his eyes were drawn to the thing she was wearing, and the naked skin that could still be seen right through it. "It's not really that bad, is it...?"

"No, it's great..." Jack sighed eventually, as he figured he could as well give up, and hoped that his daughter would do so too, once she'd got the answer she wanted. "But as I was just saying, you'd still look great with less."

"If that's what you think...?" The young woman grinned, and for a second it looked she was actually thinking about him wrong, in one way or the other. Her father couldn't believe that she'd ever go so far as to take any more of her clothes off though, but on the other hand he was well aware of her strange humor, and once again he could feel the hardness straining inside of his boxers when he recognized that curious gleam in his daughter's blue eyes...
