Chapter 9 – Sunday we go to visit the Cunninghams

While Cassie was still asleep the next morning, I received a call from John
asking if the three of us would like to come over for a visit. When I said
that we've love to, he suggested that we come prepared to stay the night. He
didn't have to elaborate as I could read quite clearly between the lines. We
agreed that the three of us would come over for supper and stay overnight.

I turned to Sandy and relayed what John and I had been talking about. "This
should be a fun time. I suspect John has plans for Cassie and I'm not averse
to exploring the charms of Kathy."

"Oh yeah, I believe you!" Sandy said giving me a playful swat. "Even though
James is a bit immature, I'm sure Tracy and I could have a wonderful time with
him." Sandy paused for a moment. "When are we going to tell Cassie?"

"Let's go up to the pond this afternoon and we'll tell her on the way back.

*****

After a quiet morning and a light lunch I suggested to Cassie that we go up to
the pond. "We can have a swim and...?" I grinned as I paused.

"Oh yeah, let's go!" Cassie said and we gather up what we need to take with us
and off we went.

Once we reached the pond and got set up the first thing Cassie wanted was for
me to rub sunscreen on her bare skin. "...and don't forget those 'special'
places, Daddy. I don't want them to get burned!" she said giggling as she
rolled over on to her back.

Sandy smiled and watched. When I was done with Cassie I came over to Sandy and
asked if she wanted me to do her back and 'special' areas. "Of course," Sandy
said, "that's why Cassie and I keep you around."

I grinned and did as asked. When I had finished Sandy I lay down and Sandy did
the same to me. As she was doing my back I thought back over the events of the
last few days. "You know" I said quietly to Sandy, "putting sunscreen on
Cassie was how I got the 'lessons' started. We'd come up to swim and I offered
to put sunscreen on her and I talked he into taking off her bikini. Of course
it helped that I was already naked. I'd told Cassie that I liked to skinny
dip. Cassie finally agreed and after I'd finished he back, told her to roll
over and I'd finish her front. After a bit of hesitation, Cassie did as I
wanted and our activities went from there."

I paused for a moment then continued. "I wonder what would have happened if
Cassie had refused. Would I have been able to talk her into doing some of the
things we've done?" Again a short pause. "Guess it doesn't matter – look at
where we are now." I finished, smiling at Sandy.

"I'm so glad she opened up... whoops, that doesn't sound quite right does it
<grin> ...I'm glad she's been so receptive – that sounds better. I had a good
feeling about her. We'd had some long 'facts of life' talk and Cassie felt
comfortable talking to me about sex matters. We'd also talked about the
situation where a couple of 'almost adult' teens raped a classmate at a party
and I'd dropped some hints that having someone teach a young girl would be
nice. Cassie hadn't said anything after the conversation, but I could tell I'd
sown a seed in her mind." Sandy got off her lounger and came over to me and
hugged and kissed me passionately.

"Hey you two, if you're going to do that, can you include me?"

I looked at Cassie and said "Your mom and I were just talking about the first
time you came up here to the pond. Remember that day?"

A smile from ear to ear appeared on Cassie's face. "Oh Yesss! Oh Yesss! What a
day! This morning after I woke up as I was lying in bed, I thought back over
the last few days – and I'm so happy." Cassie came over and hugged me. "Uncle
– Daddy – I so love you and so love what you've done for me and to me and I so
love that you were the person to make me a 'real woman' and..." at that point
Cassie started to cry. Sandy and I could tell they were tears of happiness.

"Oh Cassie, sweetie." Sandy said. "We're both glad you've been happy and we're
both happy that we could share your experiences. Speaking of experiences, the
Cunninghams have invited us to come over for supper."

Cassie looked at us and grinned. "I'd like that. Did you tell them that we'd
come?" she asked looking at me.

"I did." I replied. "There's a bit more that your mom didn't say. The
Cunninghams have invited us to stay for the night. Any thoughts on what that
might lead to...?" I asked her.

Cassie grinned and started to blush a bit. "Oh yeah, I can guess! Mmmm it's
going to be a good time tonight, I can feel it."

"We're going to take the car rather than go by boat. Let's go back and get
ready. I thought we'd go over about 3:30 so that we can visit a bit before
supper, Okay?"

We gathered up our stuff and headed back to the cabin. When we got back I told
the ladies I was going to have a shower – alone. And off I went. Once I'd
cleaned up and had my second shave of the day (no whisker burns for the
ladies!) I told them the shower was theirs. Cassie went in and showered and
while she was doing her hair, Sandy followed. Pretty soon the three of us were
ready to go. We'd discussed what clothing to take with us and finally decided
that we'd take everything we needed just as if we were going off on a regular
overnight visit with friends or family. If we didn't need some of the stuff we
packed, that would be okay – better than not taking enough. Finally off we
went.

*****

Supper at the Cunningham's was what you would have expected with two couples
and their kids got together – except for the charged atmosphere and frequent
slightly lewd comments. Once supper was over and the kitchen cleaned up, we
retired to the Cunningham's family room. John broke the ice.

"I remember from yesterday that you said you folks have an 'open' lifestyle."

"Yes", I replied, "Sandy and I have been lovers since we were in our teens and
we've recently introduced Cassie to our activities."

John looked at his wife and after a moment, she nodded her head. John
continued. "Tracy and I, like you and Sandy have been lovers for quite some
time. We have a bit of a twist to our story." He paused, obviously trying to
decide where to start.

"Tracy and I grew up in almost adjacent houses. Tracy is my first cousin.
Since there weren't many other kids nearby, we tended to spend a lot of time
together. Tracy is just under 1 year younger than I am. At first when we were
very young it was just as playmates but as we started to enter puberty, that
changed." He paused for a moment again.

"Before I continue, our kids know about everything I'm going to tell you. I'm
going to go on the premise that since you three are sexually involved,
anything we say or do here stays between us."

"That goes without saying." I assured him.

John continued. "Tracy and I had become close confidants of one another. We'd
discuss things that were happening and, since we weren't in the same grade at
school, about some of the things that happened or were said. Sometimes the
comments were not very nice as both Tracy and my families were not very well
off and we didn't always have the 'in' clothes and hadn't seen the latest
movie – you know the issue.

"We were always able to talk to one another about anything and as we started
to experiment sexually, we told each other what we'd done and how we felt. As
time went on we started experimenting with each other."

*****

At this point John stopped his story and said "I think I need something to
drink, how about you folks?" then looking at the kids he said "You can have
some wine if you want and Cassie if your mom says okay." We all helped get
something to drink and settled down again. This time Cassie came and sat on my
lap. As I put my hand on her thigh, I was pretty sure she had no panties on. I
whispered in her ear "Naughty" and Cassie just grinned confirming my
suspicions.

John continued his story.

*****

"We were very careful about protection and learned that there was more than
one way that a guy could give his girl pleasure and vice-versa <grin>. Now
here's where the twist comes in." He paused again.

He continued. "After high school both Tracy and I went off to college. Both of
us had good enough marks that we qualified for scholarship and bursary money
so almost all of our costs were covered. We convinced our parents that we
could save a bit more money if we shared an apartment. Our parents, of course,
assumed that this would be a two bedroom unit and that I'd sleep in one room
and Tracy in the other. In fact we hardly ever used the single bed in my room
but shared the double bed in Tracy's room.

"One day during a break in classes, we were sitting out in our back yard with
both families sharing a BBQ. Tracy's mom made a comment that caught my
attention and the look that both Tracy's dad and my dad gave Tracy's mom
seemed to indicate that this was not something that should have been
mentioned. Tracy and I got to one side a bit later and discussed what we'd
heard and agreed that when our families were back in their own houses, we'd
each tackle our own parents on the comment.

"The long and short of the story is that Tracy's dad discovered he was sterile
and my dad had done the deed and was Tracy's biological father. That meant
that Tracy and I were step-siblings. Both Tracy and I were a bit shocked.
Tracy's dad phoned my dad and pretty soon both families were back together in
Tracy's house where we had a big family pow-wow. Tracy and I dropped a
bombshell as well when we told our parents that we were living together as if
we were husband and wife and that once we were finished school planned to get
married.

"After a moment or two, both sets of parents started to laugh and came and
gave us both big hugs and told us they were happy for us." John paused again.

"So what you see here today is a pair of step-siblings with a pair of children
who are as sexually involved with each other as their step-sibling parents
were – and still are for that matter."

Both Sandy and I looked at each other and I took up the conversation. "Sandy
and I are brother and sister though not biologically as she was adopted when I
was about 2. Like you two..." looking at John and Tracy "...we've been playing
with one another since we were in our tweens. Up until now, we've maintained
separate residences and have lived separate lives but with some frequent
'visits' to one another. We've decided that when we get back to Euston we're
going to move into a new home and live as one family – as 'husband and wife'.
Sandy had been married to Frank Wilson but took her maiden name back when she
got divorced. Since both Sandy and I now share the same surname – Hamilton –
we can live together as husband and wife and no one will be the wiser. Since
Cassie has a different surname, I will present Cassie as my step-daughter."

Almost in unison John and Tracy clapped and said "Congratulations."
