 Why ME

   CHAPTER THREE

   Friday started out with another hug and a kiss on the cheek.  We didn't
have much time to talk between classes; but at lunch I went to the
drive-thru at Arby's and we ate in the parking lot.

   "I think that I've noticed a trend Nelson.  Are you ashamed to be seen
with me or something?"

   "I just don't want to let you move away from me Lena, I can't believe
how good you feel sitting next to me.  I would be proud as all get out to
be seen with you, but I would think that you might not like that too much.
Why would you want to be seen in public with me?  All your friends would
probably run away screaming."

   "You may not have noticed, but I don't have any friends here, and there
is no one I would rather be seen with than you.  Thank you for the
compliment though.  Are you all ready for tonight?"

   "Sure, I'll be waiting for you at home with the car all spiffed up and
ready.  Where is Diane staying while she is here?"

   "She'll be with me.  I have a small apartment on Columbia St.  Dad moved
to Frankfurt after he lost the dealership so I had to have a place to live.
Your mom offered to put me up and I did stay in your old room for my first
year of classes, but I moved out when you were coming home."

   That afternoon mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when Lena
arrived.  She and mom hugged and kissed like long lost friends.  She then
came over to me and gave me a hug as well.

   As we got up to leave Lena spoke to mom.  "Wish me luck Julie,
everything hinges on tonight.  Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow."

   "I hope so honey, remember, hold his feet to the fire and don't let up
when he tries to escape.  My hopes and dreams are with you."

   Now what?  She had to be talking about me, but in what concept, and how
did Diane figure into this?  As we drove I tried to get Lena to open up
about her conversations with my mother, but she wouldn't budge except to
say that she `couldn't say anything until Diane was with us and it would be
best to wait until I got them home."

   Lena stayed snuggled under my arm all the way to the airport.  While we
stood waiting at the gate she held my hand.  When Diane got off I almost
didn't recognize her, her hair was cut shorter than she had ever worn it
and she was nicely tanned.  I had always thought of Diane as being slightly
overweight or chubby, but now she was lean and a real knockout.  Damn she
looked good.  I could finally see mom and Aunt Jean in her.

   Lena was waving with the arm not in mine and Diane saw us.  Now came the
moment of truth, could I treat her the same as I had before?

   "I'm glad to see you girl." Lena stepped away from me and grabbed Diane
in a hug.  Over her shoulder I could see Diane get a very satisfied
expression with her eyes closed.  I wonder if this is what mom was talking
about when she hugged me?  Her eyes opened and looked at me and her eyes
got very wide.  I could hear her whisper to Lena, "Is that??"

   Lena stepped away and turned Diane to face me, "your turn Nelson, give
your cousin a hug."

   Diane looked up at me apprehensively as I stepped forward.  I hesitated
for a moment then said the hell with it and grabbed my best friend in a big
hug.  I picked her up and tried to squeeze her into me.

   "Damn I missed you cuz, you look and feel fantastic.  I hope you know
how much a care about you and I always will, no matter what."

   "I hope you mean that Ricky, but you might want to put me down now so we
can leave."

   "The heck with that, I'm not letting you get away from me so soon. 
Would you please get her bag Lena?  Do you have anything checked Diane?"

   "No, just the carry-on, but what do you mean to do?"

   "This," so saying I swung her around a bit and got my left arm under her
knees and walked on out of the terminal with Lena following behind.

   "I never realized what a nice cuddly handful you were Diane."

   "I'm jealous," Lena said, "he hasn't done that to me yet."

   By the time we got out to the bus I had to set Diane down.  I gave her a
kiss on the cheek as I did.

   "Boy you sure got big Ricky.  Lena and your mom sent me pictures, but it
didn't really show until now.  I like the new look Ricky."

   "I like yours as well Diane, you are a real knockout now.  Please call
me Nelson though, I really do hate the name Ricky.  It always makes me feel
like a little kid when someone calls me that.  Lena has managed to adjust,
I'm sure you can too."

   By this time we were at the car and as I held the door open Lena pushed
Diane in first.  "You ride next to him for now Di, we'll change over after
dinner in Lebanon."

   I got in the car and Lena put my arm around Diane the same way it had
been around her on the way here.  I was so confused, I thought that Lena
liked me, and now she was throwing me at my own cousin.

   Dinner was at White Castle because Diane had missed them.  I learned
that Diane was going for a masters in psychology and she was going to work
for a while before going for a PHD.

   Lena was back beside me and as we got closer to home she started
trembling like she was afraid of something.  I looked over at Diane and she
was the same way.

   "What's going on girls, what are you two afraid of?"

   "Don't worry about it Nelson," Diane said, "we'll tell you all about it
at Lena's place."

   Lena gave me directions and soon I was parallel parking in front of an
old brownstone on the side of the hill.  We got out and Lena led us around
back to a stairway going up to her 3rd floor apartment.  It was a pretty
nice place with a large living and bedroom with a bathroom showing through
and open door to the right of the stairs and a kitchen on the left.  There
was a large bed cattycorner on the right in front of a bay window and a
couch and two arm chairs over on the left.  Lena went to the couch and sat
down pulling me down on her left and Diane over on my other side.

   "Okay Nelson, it is time for us to talk.  After you left my world fell
apart and I suddenly had to fend for myself.  I went over to your house to
see if you could help me and you were gone.  Your mother found out what was
going on and took me in.  I stayed in your room until I got a job lead in
Vegas.  I went out there to be a dealer in one of the clubs and found out
that that was just a prelude to being a prostitute in one of their
brothels. At that point my self image was very low and I decided to do it.
I entered my first working house and found Diane already there.  We became
close friends and lovers.  We had so many things in common, and the biggest
was that we were both in love with you and you wouldn't give us the time of
day.  We worked there for two years until we had enough money to pay for
school.  The big question is can you handle having two whores for
girlfriends?"

   I just sat there stunned.  What could I say that wouldn't be
misinterpreted?  I had always loved Diane and had been getting very strong
feelings for Lena.  Now I found out that they had been working as whores
and wanted me to be their boyfriend.  I was silent for so long that they
started to cry.

   "Stop that.  What happens if I say yes?"

   "You get two girlfriends that will do everything they can to please you
Nelson."

   Suddenly I realized something and broke out laughing; in fact it was
that kind of manic laughing where you can't stop.  I laughed so hard that I
was having trouble trying to catch my breath.  When I started choking Diane
jumped up and slapped me right across the chops.

   "What the hell is so goddamned funny Ricky?  If you are going to tell us
no then do it, you don't have to insult us."

   "No, no Diane.  That's not it at all.  I just realized that there have
only been three girls in this world that I could talk to and be myself
with, you two and the hooker in Germany who got my cherry."

   "So you can only talk to sluts, is that what you mean?"

   "No, no, don't misunderstand.  I never knew that about any of you until
after we talked, after I felt at ease with you.  Margo was just the
bartender at a club I would frequent to listen to music and drink beer. 
When she wasn't busy she would talk to me about the world and the USA and
to practice her English.  I didn't know what else she did until the guys in
the unit took me to a bordello.  I continued talking to her at the bar
after that and it didn't seem to make a difference.  I never went back to
the house and she was still my friend.  Her other job didn't make a
difference."

   "I don't know if I can handle this or not.  I have no experience with
women and I know that I'll be a disappointment to you.  Every time you
sleep with me you will remember some one who was better.  How can I compete
with that?"

   Lena was crying full out now, "Oh god, you hate us, you hate what we
did."

   "No Lena!  Stop it, I don't hate you.  I don't know what to do, I've
never even had a girl friend and now you propose that I have two, and one
of them is the girl I had a crush on for years and the other has always
been my best friend.  I don't understand what you want with me.  I was
never good enough for either one of you, let alone both."

   "I love you Diane, and I really think that I love you too Lena.  If you
can be patient with me I'll try to be good for you.  I only did it with
Margo the one time and I don't think that she got much out of it."

   "At least she didn't hurt you like that bitch Susan did.  I was so
conflicted when she dumped you Nelson.  I watched you bring her out of her
shell and then throw you to the side like road-kill, and she killed you for
romance for a while.  I was so glad that she dumped you because then I
still had a chance but at the same time she hurt you so badly and I hated
to see that.  I wanted to be her, but I couldn't make you see that.  When
you danced with me that night she left you I was so happy, for the first
time I knew that you were the man for me.  I had danced with other guys
before, but you just felt so good, and then prom night and I got to do it
again, that night at the roller rink was another conflict.  You loved your
cousin so much, and it was plain to see that she loved you too.  I thought
that it was all lost; you were going to be with her.  Then when I talked to
your mom, I found out what the real plan was, and I felt even worse."

   "What do you mean the real plan?"

   Diane spoke back up, "Our moms were trying to get us together Nelson. 
They had seen how much we care for each other and they were hoping that we
could see past being cousins to be lovers.  They were hoping that you would
settle me down and that I would teach you about love.  They wouldn't have
minded if we got married either.  Mom had looked it up and sex between
cousins is not considered incest.  The poor dears had good intentions; they
just should have been more open with me.  I screwed so many men because I
thought that I couldn't have the one man I wanted, you.  If I had known
what their plans were I would have gone along with them whole heartedly,
and I would have known enough to tell you about it as well.  If I had told
you at that prom that I wanted to be your girlfriend, for life, what would
your response have been?  Include that our parents would have been okay
with it."

   I sat and thought about it for a moment, "I would have been overjoyed
Diane.  I always have loved you and several times in my dreams I wished
that we weren't cousins.  Why didn't they tell us?  It would have saved so
much pain and confusion."

   "The poor things out thought themselves dear.  They thought that if we
believed ourselves to be getting away with something we would do better. 
I'm kind of glad that it didn't work, because if it had then I never would
have become so close to Lena.  I would have missed that.  Are you going to
stay Nelson?"

   "I got to tell you girls, I'm so scared I can't spit.  I'm so afraid
that you will be disappointed with me.  This last week with Lena has been
heaven, but I don't think that I am prepared for this, let's wait a week or
two and give me time to be ready."

   "No Nelson, it has to be now.  I am so horny I can't see straight and
being with Lena will only handle part of it, I need a man and I want him to
be you.  Whores don't do it for the sex Nelson; there is very little joy in
it.  They are there for the man's pleasure, not their own.  It is just a
job.  Poor Lena has never had an orgasm with a man, only with me.  I
already told you about when I was in school most of the guys did nothing
for me, well being a whore was even worse.  The only way you will
disappoint us is if you leave.  If you are willing to listen, we will train
you in how to please us."

   Once again I was stunned.  All I could think of was that even in my
wildest dreams this situation never developed.

   "Okay Nelson, we are going to go into the bathroom to get ready.  You
get undressed and wait for us on the bed.  If you leave I will hunt you
down and kill you.  Before we do though, you will kiss each of us.  Give us
the kiss that you always wanted to."

   I was grabbed by Lena with one hand on my arm and one behind my head. 
She pulled me down, not that I was resisting much, and latched her mouth
onto mine.  I could taste her tears, and feel her trembling.  I gave myself
to the kiss and I could feel her tongue probing at my lips.  I let her in
and at that point I was lost.  I could feel all the frustration and pain
from so many years alone leaving me.  The feel of her lips, the taste of
her mouth, the hard points jabbing my chest and my arms around her back
consumed it all.

   We broke the kiss after an indeterminate time and Diane tapped me on the
shoulder.

   "May I cut in?  I think that it is my turn now."

   I gave Lena a quick peck on the nose and said, "I'll be back, don't go
anywhere."

   I turned to Diane and suddenly I was in a tornado.  While Lena had been
calm and reserved, almost hesitant, there was none of that in Diane.  She
knew what she wanted and she intended to get it.  I was thoroughly kissed
and Diane left no doubt as to her intentions as she explored my mouth with
her tongue and my crotch with her hand.  She was forceful without being
rough though.  Lena's kiss had gotten me hard without my realizing it and
Diane was measuring and stroking while kissing.  I'm not sure how I kept
from going off in my pants, but I knew that it wouldn't take much more
before I did.  These two were as different as they could be.  As my first
two real kisses, they were pretty spectacular.

   Diane backed up a bit and said, "okay lover, we are going to get ready,
you meet us on the bed."

   She reached over and grabbed Lena and pulled her off of the couch.  I
watched as the two women walked to the bathroom.  I sat there for a few
minutes trying to decide what to do.  My instinct was to run, but I knew
that they would see that as rejection.  I looked over at the bed and saw
for the first time that it was made up with a spread and the sheets pulled
down and three pillows showing above.  I wondered just how much I had been
maneuvered, then I said the hell with it, I like it.  I got up and started
toward the bed and I heard from the bathroom, "remember cuz, you run and
I'll gut you like a fish."

   I laughed and moved to the bed.  How much should I do?  Should I get
naked and under the covers or just loosen my clothes.  In the end I was
sitting on the end of the bed in my fake silk boxers when the bathroom door
opened.

   Lena was the first one out, with Diane right behind.  They were wearing
matching baby doll nighties in blue and white.

   "Remember these Nelson?  I haven't worn one of these since you stopped
coming around.  I often wondered why you watched me when I know that Cathy
Johnson two doors down ran around in panties most nights.  Why did you
watch me Nelson?"

   I know that I must have been bright red by then.  She had known that I
was watching, and she didn't mind.

   "Yeah Nelson, why were you watching her instead of the little hotty down
the street?"

   It was very hard to talk because they had continued walking toward me
and these nighties were much more revealing than the ones 10 years ago.

   By the time I was able to speak they were standing on either side of me;
Lena on my left and Diane on my right.  With them standing so close I could
see right through the nylon.  Lena's dark hair hung to her shoulders with a
slight curl framing her beautiful squarish face.  He dark eyes were smiling
at me over the strong nose and firm chin.  She wore bright red lipstick.  I
got no further than her slender neck before Diane put her hand on my
shoulder directing my gaze to her.

   Her short brown hair curled around her ears.  She was a couple inches
taller than Lena and all of it was in her torso.  Her rounded face and
button nose were the same as my mother and hers.

   "Because you were too far away to spy on Diane.  When we stayed over at
your place I always hoped for a chance to see you too, and sometimes I
did."

   "I know you did Nelson, and they were certainly not accidents.  You were
always so sweet trying to peek without being rude about it.  I think that
is when I fell in love with you.  Do you like what you see now?"

   "Back up and let me get a better view please ladies.  I'm a little
overwhelmed here, but I couldn't be more pleased.  You are both
magnificent, I don't think I have ever see two more beautiful women
anywhere.  I want to stroke and kiss you everywhere.

   "That sounds like a good place to start, but first we need to finish
what you started, stand up and drop trou cuz."

   I took a look at the door and Lena slapped me on the shoulder.

   "Don't even think about it boy, why are you so hesitant to be with two
girls, it's every man's dream?"

   "I'm sure that you will be disappointed.  I don't know anything about
how to please one girl, let alone two."

   "Don't worry about it sweety, you can't be as much of a disappointment
as most of those high school boys.  Well look here Lena, we won the
jackpot, large enough to please but not so large as to hurt.  Do you want
the first taste honey?  We're going to have to get him off right away or he
is likely to burst."

   Lena shook her head and Diane put my cock in her mouth, she sucked me in
and gently massaged my balls.  I barely had time to tap on her head to warn
her before I blew the biggest load of my life right into her mouth.

   "Ohh Damn Diane, that feels so good, Thank you dear, thank you."

   She didn't answer but moved over to Lena and kissed her.  I could see
them swapping my cum and almost immediately I was hard again.  After a
moment Diane pulled away.

   "Taste our man Lena, he tastes great doesn't he?"

   "You are the first man that Lena has tasted, we don't do that at work.
You will also be the first man either of has taken bareback.  You don't
have to worry though; we are both on the pill, at least for now.  Lena
honey, why don't you lay down and let me teach Nelson what to do to make
you fly.  Poor Lena has never gotten off on sex with a man Nelson, I'm sure
that you will be her first."

   What followed was a complete course in the female body and erogenous
zones.  With Diane on one side and me on the other we went started at the
head exploring the lovely Lena.  Diane showed me how our girlfriend reacted
to a tongue in her ear and behind her knees.  She had to slap me to get me
away from the perfect 34B tits to move down to the feet and work our way
up.

   "Would you like to taste our girlfriend now Nelson?"

   "Oh yeah, her aroma is drivin' me crazy, I really want to taste her."

   Then Diane instructed me in all the ways to drive Lena crazy; how to
lick, where to lick, and when to concentrate on the clit.  Lena was quiet
the whole time, apart from some grunts and groans she just shuddered and
shook and arched her back off the bed.

   "Time for the main event Lover; are you ready?"

   I didn't answer, I just moved on up and stared into those beautiful dark
eyes of the woman I had lusted after for years.  I felt something down
below as my cousin aimed me at her lover.

   "I love you Lena.  I don't understand how this happened but I love you."

   Lena lifted off the bed as I pushed and we were mated.  I'd like to say
that I nailed her to the bed, but in reality I couldn't have lasted more
that 10 minutes.  The constant comments by Diane made the whole thing
somewhat surreal.  She was also helping with her hands all over both of us
and kissing us between comments.

   "Oh yeah, that's it, she's coming and coming big.  Fill her up Nelson,
fill her up."

   I thought that the blow job was great, but it didn't compare to this,
staring into Lena's eyes as I came and watching them widen as she felt me
splash up against the opening to her womb.

   As we relaxed with me holding myself on my elbows Diane was all over us
kissing and cooing.

   "That was so incredible guys, see Lena, that is what a man is supposed
to do to please a woman.  We chose right honey, this man will do us good."

   I kissed Lena very hard, and then Diane and rolled over on the bed. 
Diane then got me hard again by diving down between Lena's legs and
cleaning up our mess.  After Lena had another orgasm she moved over and
Diane was between us.  What followed was a repeat of Lena's treatment. 
Diane was much more vocal about her pleasure; I hoped there was nobody
downstairs.  Diane's breasts were a couple of sizes bigger than Lena's but
both were sizes appropriate to their body.  There was also a different
taste to Diane, not better or worse, just different.  I would know which
one was which just by taste.  I told Diane that I loved her too, and since
I had already come twice I lasted quite a bit longer and I was able to get
Diane to her peak; but once I did she almost threw me off the bed with her
reaction.  Lena went down for cleanup the same as Diane had done; but Diane
said that she couldn't come any more, she was done.  I was also unable to
rise again after the most incredible evening of my life.

   Later I was lying on the bed with a head on each shoulder.

   "What's next girls; what does the future hold for us?  Have you two made
any more plans?"

   "Not really Nelson, Diane and I were so worried about scaring you away
that we haven't planned much beyond tonight.  I was hoping that you would
move in here with me, but that would leave Diane out in Nevada all alone."

   "May I plan a bit?"

   "Please do Nelson, Lena and I would love to hear what you have in mind."

   "Well, I assume that you both are planning on continuing school.  How
are you fixed for finances there?"

   "I had some help from my folks so I only had to work at the ranch during
the summer to make ends meet.  Lena has been doing it on her own and she
worked two years to afford two years in school.  She has had to go back in
the summers to keep it up.  We're both okay for the rest of this year, but
it will be a little tight for Lena."

   "Okay, here it is.  My school is taken care of by the Air Force and my
part time job gives all the expense money I need plus some.  I don't mind
what you two have had to do to get this far, but I would really rather that
you not go back.  My idea is that I saved a lot of money while I was in
service and I could probably afford to put one of you through the rest of
your schooling.  I think that if I marry the other one we can get student
loans to take care of her.  Which one is which is going to have to be your
call, there is no way that I can choose.  I will be married to both of you
if you want me to be, but legally it can only be one."

   I couldn't say anymore as both girls tried to smother me with kisses. 
The upshot was that they were going to wait and talk to my mother about the
options.  Diane was going to try to transfer to someplace a little closer
after this term.  I said that we could find a night job for Lena similar to
mine.

   I woke up the next morning with two lovely heads on my shoulders talking
across my chest.

   "Do you want to go again this morning, or do you think that we should
let him store up till tonight?"

   "Believe it or not, I'm a little sore from last night.  I have never had
such a workout as I got from you two, and I need to rest a bit.  You can go
ahead if you want to Diane.  I won't be jealous at all, I just wish that
you could stay here with us and didn't have to go back tomorrow."

   "I know what you mean Lena; but at least now I know where I belong.  I'm
like you today, I came so many times that my stomach hurts.  Let's go out
and get some breakfast, then I think we need to talk to Aunt Julie."

   Lena took care of both by calling my mom and getting invited over for
breakfast.

   My face was bright red as we entered the kitchen and mom gave us all a
hug.  She patted me on the cheek and said, "you must have done good dear,
or you wouldn't be here today.  I'm happy for all of you."

   The final plan was that I would marry Lena, and we would move into my
old room for a while to save money while dad and I converted the garage
into a suite for three.  The three of us would be united in a ceremony at
Christmas time.  Both girls told mom that she would be a grandma by next
year.  My future suddenly looked very bright.  I have no idea why these two
marvelous women chose me, but I will be eternally grateful that they did.
