CHAPTER ONE: JESSIE'S BOYFRIEND

Hoby Hillerman sighed and rolled over onto his back.

"Man, I'd like to get into her pants," he muttered.

Larson West, his buddy, still stared after the girl 
who had just walked by. "Yeah. I know just what you 
mean."

"No, I don't think you do."

"Huh?"

"I mean, I'd like to get into her pants. Literally. 
Get them off her and put them on."

"Man, you're sick!"

"Hey, come on. How many sisters do you have?"

"Come on, Hoby. You know damn well how many sisters I 
have."

Hoby rolled back to his side. "Yeah. Say it, though."

"Six. Why?"

"And you've never done any fantasizing about them? 
Never imagined what it would be like to see them 
naked? Never imagined... maybe fucking them?"

"No!"

"I don't believe you."

"Anyway," Lars said, directing his eyes after the 
retreating form of Andi Harrison, "What's that got to 
do with anything?"

"You ever see any of them in just their underwear?"

"Yeah. Of course. Especially Lila and Jessie."

"Look good, don't they?" Hoby grinned at his friend.

"Well... yeah... I guess so."

"You like the look of their panties, right? What kind 
do they wear?"

"Hey!"

"Come on, tell me."

Lars sighed. "They mostly wear these little cotton 
things. They have flowers on them, or little hearts. 
Little bows on the front. Sometimes just solid 
colours. Stripes."

"You ever handle any of them?"

"Whaddya mean?"

"You know, pick them up and feel what they're like?"

"Well... I sometimes help Mom doing the laundry."

"And I bet you like to handle the girl's stuff."

Lars flopped onto his back and gazed up at the fluffy 
white clouds drifting by. "Okay. Yeah. I do. I like 
the way they feel. Especially Janey's and Elaine's."

Janey and Elaine were twins, the oldest of the six 
sisters.

"Well," Hoby said, "just imagine what it would be 
like to actually wear those panties. Have your cock 
in the same place their pussies have been."

Lars closed his eyes. He could feel his cock swelling 
as he tried to picture what that would be like.

"That's the way I imagine what it would be like to 
get into Andi's pants," Hoby said. He sighed again. 
"Not that it's ever likely to happen."

"No," Lars agreed.

"So... I just have to get into Monica's sometimes." 
Monica was Hoby's sister.

Lars stared at him. "You... actually put on Monica's 
pants."

"Well, panties anyway. Most of her pants don't fit 
me."

"Oh."

"Want to see?"

"What?"

"Want to see me wearing Monica's panties?"

"Uh..."

Hoby laughed. "Here..." He unfastened his jeans and 
shoved them down to his knees. This displayed a very 
brief pair of cotton panties decorated with 
alternating stripes of red and green. His cock made a 
large bulge in the crotch. "These are the ones Monica 
wore yesterday. I took them out of the laundry 
hamper."

"Uh, aren't they kind of tight?" Lars asked. "They 
don't look very comfortable."

"Oh, they fit fine. They're made of some kind of 
stretchy material, and we're just about the same size 
anyway."

Not too surprising, Lars thought, since Monica was 
only a little over a year older than Hoby. But much 
better proportioned, he amended. He'd love to see her 
in just her underwear. Or nothing at all.

Hoby pulled his pants back up. "You ought to grab 
some panties and try them on," he said. "I bet you'll 
like the way they fit."

"I'm more into boxers," Lars said. "I don't like 
things tight around my balls."

"Oh, well, I bet they have some nice frilly things 
too. Monica has some loose fitting satiny things that 
I kind of like. It's just that she doesn't wear them 
very often, so they don't get into the laundry much."

Lars shook his head. He wasn't sure where this crazy 
conversation was headed. It all started because he 
had the hots for Andi, he knew. He also knew that 
neither of them was ever likely to get the 
opportunity to see Andi in her underwear. Or naked, 
for that matter. And even less likely to have an 
opportunity to wear her clothes.

Hoby glanced at his watch. "Oh, shit. I promised I'd 
be home by now. Guess I'd better get going."

"Yeah. See ya."

*

Lars wandered off in the same direction Andi took. He 
didn't have any definite reason for doing so, but 
thought it might be possible to catch another glimpse 
of her. He liked the way her ass twitched in the 
tight grey pants she wore.

Come to think of it, he hadn't noticed any outline of 
panties. The tight pants moulded to her ass so snugly 
he was sure he should have been able to see anything 
like that. He could feel his cock swell as he 
pictured the girl of his dreams sauntering along.

He walked around a corner and collided with her.

"Oh! Oh, damn. S-Sorry," he stuttered. 

They staggered together, clutching each other for 
support. Finally able to stand up straight, he 
stepped back and let go of Andi's arm.

"Well, close encounters of some kind," she said, 
laughing.

"Uh, yeah. Right. Sorry." He had to think for a 
moment to get the reference to that old science 
fiction movie.

"Not a problem," she said. "Are you all right?"

"Oh, yeah. Fine. Fine."

She grinned at him. "I haven't been that close to a 
guy for a long time."

"Oh."

"Kind of nice, actually."

"Oh."

"Uh, yeah. You're Lars, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Not very talkative, are you? That's okay. I talk too 
much, anyway."

"Oh."

Her grin got wider. "You know what? I think you owe 
me something for running into me like that."

"Uh, like what?"

"Well, you could buy me a drink or something."

Since they were standing outside a little café, Lars 
couldn't easily turn down the invitation. "Okay," he 
said. "Let's go in here. What would you like?"

Luckily he had enough money on him to buy two glasses 
of cola. They went to sit in a booth.

"Thanks," she said, taking a sip. "What are you up to 
today?"

"Oh, nothing much. I was hanging around with Hoby, 
but he had to go home."

"What were you guys doing together?"

"Uh." There was no way he was going to tell her what 
they'd been talking about.

"Come on, tell," she said, laughing. He like the way 
her mouth opened a little to show her dazzling white 
teeth. He looked into her eyes, feeling miserable. 
Those eyes were deep dark brown, the kind of eyes you 
could get lost in.

"Um... well."

She giggled suddenly. "I bet you were talking about 
girls, right. I think that's all boys talk about. Or 
maybe sports?"

"Yeah, right," he mumbled. He could feel his cheeks 
getting red.

She laughed again. "I knew it. Which girls? Anyone I 
know?"

Well, he could answer that honestly. "I don't think 
so."

"Well, who then? Come on, Lars. I won't tell anyone."

He sighed. Maybe he could just lie a little bit and 
not tell her she was at least part of the 
conversation. "Well, our sisters."

"Sisters? How many sisters can two guys have?"

"Uh... Hoby has one. I have six."

"Oh, you poor guy." She sighed. "I used to think it 
would be nice to have a brother or sister. Then my 
mom got married again and now I have two little 
brothers. What a couple of pests."

"Really? I mean... well, sisters are all I have. I 
guess you get used to having them around when you 
grow up with them. I don't know what it would be like 
to have them suddenly dumped on me."

She nodded and took another drink. "I thought it 
would be fun, to start with. But they're always 
getting into my stuff and coming into my bedroom 
without knocking."

Lars felt his cheeks reddening again. "Well, with 
sisters, it's the same thing. My little sisters are 
always in my room or the bathroom. I keep yelling at 
them, but it doesn't seem to do any good. And then 
mom gets mad at me for yelling. I guess I just have 
to put up with it until I can leave home."

Andi looked at him steadily for a long moment. 
"You're sisters come into the bathroom when you're in 
there?"

"Yeah."

"Wow... I bet," She paused, then grinned that 
infectious grin again. "I bet they're trying to see 
you naked."

"What?"

"Yeah, I bet that's it." She leaned back and studied 
him. "Yeah... if you were my brother, I think that's 
what I'd be doing. That's what my little brothers 
keep doing to me."

"What? Come on!"

"No, really. You're kind of sexy, and good-looking. 
No, I mean it. Really."

"Oh, uh... Sexy?"

She leaned forward and grabbed one of his hands. 
"Yeah. Sexy. If I were looking for a boyfriend, you'd 
be one of the guys I'd be considering. Of course."

Her hand was soft and warm and he felt his cock 
getting hard again. "What?"

"Well," Now she started blushing. "You'd have to want 
a girlfriend like me, too. I mean, before I'd 
consider it."

He sucked in a deep breath. "Uh... well... yeah. I 
mean..." He exhaled sharply. "If I was looking for a 
girlfriend, I'd be glad to have you... if you were 
interested, I mean."

She squeezed his hand. "Oh..." Her cheeks were bright 
red now. "Why? Why me?"

"Well... I mean, You're about the sexiest girl I 
know. I-I... really like the way you look."

"You think I'm sexy?" she said, surprised.

"Oh, yeah. Real sexy."

She let his hand slip away and leaned back again. The 
blush suddenly drained from her cheeks. She stood up 
suddenly, clutching her stomach. "Th-thanks for the 
drink. I gotta go." Lars stared after her as she 
practically ran out of the café. 

Had he done something wrong? Hurt her somehow? Damn. 
And it had seemed to be going along well. Well, he 
didn't think he'd have ever had a chance to even talk 
to someone like Andi anyway, so at least he had that 
to remember. And she was sexy!

*

Next day, Lars joined his mother in getting the 
weekly laundry done. His job entailed going around 
the various bedrooms and collecting clothes from 
wherever the girls happened to drop them. Sometimes 
this meant crawling under one of the beds or fishing 
around under the bedding.

Janey and Elaine, the twins, shared a bedroom, as did 
the two youngest girls, Lila and Jessie. This was by 
their own choice. The other two girls, Connie and 
Amber, had separate rooms, one on either side of 
Lars's.

The twins were out early, gone to a gymnastics class. 
He pushed into their crowded room and started picking 
up underwear and other clothes until the basket was 
half full. Lars remembered Hoby's idea and sorted 
through the panties until he found a pair that 
appealed to him. He shoved it into his jeans pocket 
and carried on the next room. Lila and Jessie were 
still in bed. Jessie sat up as he came in. Much to 
his surprise, she didn't seem to have anything on. At 
least her chest was bare.

"Is it laundry day again?" she asked.

"Yeah. You want to help me gather up your clothes?"

"Sure," she said, and hopped out of bed. Well, at 
least she wore some frilly blue satin panties. He 
felt a surge of disappointment. Oh, well...

It took a few minutes to top up the basket.

"Thanks," he said, hefting it off the floor.

"Hey, wait a minute," Jessie said. She skinned out of 
the panties and added it to the pile. She didn't seem 
at all nervous at appearing naked in front of him. He 
felt his cock start to swell, and beat a hasty 
retreat to the laundry room.

"Is that all of it?" Mom asked.

"No. I still have to do Connie and Amber, and my 
room."

"Well, get going then. Dump that load on top of the 
dryer so I can sort it out."

Connie's room, as usual, was comparatively neat. Lars 
didn't know where she was. Probably off with one of 
her girlfriends, he thought. He grabbed up her 
clothes, then went to his room and gathered his own 
up.

He hesitated. The panties were burning a hole in his 
pocket. Everything seemed pretty quiet. He shoved his 
jeans off and quickly pulled on the panties, then his 
jeans again. Now his cock was definitely getting 
hard. He was surprised at how nice they felt. Smooth 
and cool and... yeah... sexy.

With shaking hands he hoisted up the hamper and went 
to Amber's room. She was hunched over her computer 
keyboard when he went in.

"Good morning," he said, as he started gathering the 
jumble of clothes in the bottom of the clothes 
closet.

"Uh, yeah." She looked up from the screen with a sort 
of dazed expression on her face.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh. I'm still working on this story," she mumbled. 
She'd been writing a story for the last couple of 
months. Lars would have liked to read it, but she 
wouldn't let anyone see it, "until it's finished."

She turned back to the screen and started typing 
again. He studied her back and decided she had a nice 
figure. Funny, he'd never considered any of his 
sisters like that before. Amber had a figure much 
like Andi's, he thought, though perhaps not quite as 
shapely. But then she was younger than Andi, so who 
knew what she'd look like in a year or two.

"That's the lot," he said to his mother, back in the 
laundry room.

She sighed and passed a hand over her forehead. "One 
of these days, I'm going to make you responsible for 
the whole thing," she said. "I don't know how you 
kids can generate so much dirty clothing."

He felt his cheeks flush as he said, "Perhaps you 
need to get the girls to wear less."

"Good idea. I'll think about it."

Wow. He didn't think he'd get away with a remark like 
that. "I'm... uh, going to have my breakfast," he 
said.


As for Prudence, his mother, it wasn't just the 
amount of work the kids generated. It was the amount 
of food they ate, the amount of clothes they used up, 
all the basic necessities of living. The twins needed 
gym time, and they all wanted their own computers. 
Lila needed a new bike, having outgrown the old one, 
which had been handed down from Connie to Amber to 
Jessie and was now pretty well worn out anyway. Lars 
needed new runners in the fall and he would probably 
have grown out of his jeans and shirts. Luckily, he 
was content to wear little more than shorts all 
summer. And the van needed new tires and probably a 
tune-up. 

She glanced down at her own clothing. Her own shorts 
would probably last another season, and with fall she 
could switch back to long pants. But Byron would 
likely need new shirts and a suit if he got the job 
he was away in New York interviewing for. And she'd 
love to get some new underwear herself. She sighed. 
No sense in feeling sorry for herself... she'd been 
just as an enthusiastic participant in the sex that 
produced the seven kids. Thoroughly enjoyable sex. 
She missed Byron, being held in his arms and feeling 
his muscular naked body against her. She shivered 
involuntarily, feeling her nipples swell against the 
T-shirt. Keep that up and you'll have to go change 
your pants, she thought.


Lars found Jessie seated at the kitchen table eating 
a bowl of cereal. She was wearing a fluffy pink robe 
now. She grinned at him.

"Did you like what you saw?"

"Huh?"

"Did you like it, seeing me naked?"

"Oh. Uh... I didn't really look." What was this all 
about, he wondered.

"Oh, come on. I bet you did. Do you think I'm 
pretty?"

"No, really. I was too surprised."

"Oh. Well, would you like to see?"

"Uh..."

She jumped up and took the robe off. After a moment 
of just standing there holding the robe out at arm's 
length, she climbed up on the chair and posed in 
front of him. "Well? What do you think?"

"Look, Jessie. I mean... what's going on? Why are you 
doing this?"

"'Coz I wanna know. Am I pretty? Do I look good to 
you? You're the only boy I can ask."

"I am?"

"Well, who else? I don't know anybody well enough. 
Besides, you're my brother and you ought to know if 
your sister is pretty or not. How do I compare to all 
the girls in your class?"

"How the hell would I know? I've never seen any of 
them naked!"

"Oh. Why? I thought you have some girlfriends or 
something."

"Well, I don't. I guess there's one or two who are 
friends, but not girlfriends."

"Damn," she muttered and hopped down to the floor. "I 
guess I'll never know."

"Well, that's not true. When you get a boyfriend, I'm 
sure he'll tell you. But... yeah, I think you're 
pretty. But remember, I've never seen anyone else 
naked."

"So you like the way I look."

"Yes. Now put your robe back on before Mom comes 
upstairs."

The image of Jessie's naked body kept cropping up all 
the rest of the day. He had to admit, he did like 
what he'd seen. Oh, she wasn't as curvaceous as Andi, 
but there were definite areas of interest. Her 
breasts were starting to bud out and there was a wisp 
of dark pubic hair over her pussy slit. And tiny hard 
pink nipples surmounted those little breasts. For a 
twelve-year-old going on thirteen, he thought she was 
good to look at. 

He had to give himself several severe shakes though. 
Imagine thinking such thoughts about his sister. But, 
still, the picture kept swimming up in his mind 
whenever he wasn't thinking about something else. And 
every time his cock started swelling, he remembered 
he was wearing one of the twin's panties and it got 
even harder.

Lars was just about ready to put out the light and go 
to sleep that night (he'd shoved the panties under 
his mattress) when Jessie and Lila marched into his 
room. Jessie perched cross-legged on the end of the 
bed by his feet. Lila stood beside her. They were 
both wearing their bathrobes.

"We want to know if one of us could be your 
girlfriend," Jessie said.

"Huh? How can you be my girlfriend? You're my 
sisters."

"But we need to know how to act with a boyfriend. 
Only we don't know any boys we'd want to have as 
boyfriends, so we decided to find out if you'd be 
one," Lila said.

Lars looked back and forth between for a long moment. 
"Look," he said. "You're being silly. I'm your 
brother, for pete's sake. You can't have a brother as 
a boyfriend."

"Why not?" Jessie asked.

"Well..."

"Yeah, why not?" Lila said. "What's wrong with it? 
Why can't you be friendly to one of us?"

"Uh... I thought I was being friendly. To both of 
you, as a matter of fact. We're not enemies, are we?"

"No, but it's not the same thing," Jessie wailed. "I 
mean... you just act like we're you're sisters."

"Well, you are my sisters," Lars said, exasperated.

"But we don't want you to act like that," Lila said.

"Yeah, we want you to be romantic and stuff. Kiss and 
hug us and... and... stuff," Jessie added.

"What kind of stuff?" he said suspiciously.

"Oh... you know... stuff. Stuff boyfriends do with 
their girlfriends. You know."

"Well, since I don't have a girlfriend. And never 
have had one, I don't know what you mean."

Jessie sighed and got up on her knees. She untied the 
robe and shoved it off. Lila followed suit and they 
posed in front of him naked.

"Doesn't this tell you anything?" Jessie said.

"Uh..." He looked back and forth between them. He 
already had a good idea what Jessie looked like and 
now he was presented with her younger sister. Lila 
still looked more boyish than girlish, with a 
practically flat chest and no pubic hair he could 
see. Her pussy slit was filled with a bright shiny 
red protrusion. So was Jessie's. Even though Lila had 
no tits to speak of, her tiny nipples were sticking 
out almost as much as Jessie's.

"So if you were going to have one of us for a 
girlfriend, which one do you like the look of best?" 
Jessie said.

"Uh... look... why are you doing this?" Lars 
whispered. "What if mom or someone came in here and 
found you like this?"

"Oh, they've all gone to bed," Lila said. "And the 
twins are watching TV in the basement."

"So, which one do you like best?" Jessie demanded.

He looked back and forth from one to the other again. 
"Look," he said. "This is stupid. I already told you 
I thought you're pretty. And, Lila... well... I... 
guess you are too. You just don't look like a real 
girl, and that's just because you're only ten. I 
mean, when you're as old as Jessie, you'll be just as 
pretty."

Lila pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. She 
glared at him.

"That's not fair!" she snapped. "I can't help it if 
I'm not as old as she is."

"No, you can't," he agreed. "But... well, you look 
pretty good for a ten-year-old."

"But you don't want me for a girlfriend."

"I didn't say that. I didn't say I wanted either of 
you."

"That's not fair either," Jessie said. "You can have 
either one of us and you won't choose."

Lars searched his brain for some kind of answer. He 
knew his cock was as hard as it ever got, with these 
two naked girls in front of him. But he figured he 
shouldn't be thinking with his cock. Suddenly, he 
thought of way that might make them stop.

"Look," he said. "I can't choose right now. You both 
look nice. If you... no, you'd never do that."

"Never do what?" Lila said.

"No, no, it wouldn't work."

"Come on, what?" Jessie demanded. "We'll do anything 
you want."

"Well," he sighed. "If you were to go around 
completely naked all the time from now on, so I could 
get used to seeing what you look like, then after a 
while maybe I could make a decision."

"What?" Lila cried.

Jessie stared at him with her mouth hanging open.

"Yeah. I think after a while, seeing you naked all 
the time, I'd be able to figure out which one to have 
as a girlfriend."

The girls looked at each. Jessie hopped off the bed 
and pulled Lila into a corner where they whispered 
back and forth for a long time. Finally, they came 
back to the bed.

"Okay," Jessie said. "We'll do it. But how will we 
explain what we're doing? And what happens if we want 
to go out?"

"Yeah. What if I want to go play with Nancy?" Lila 
said.

"Well... I know. If you go out, you can't wear any 
underwear. And... and... if you have to go out during 
the day, at night you have to sleep naked."

"Oh, pooh," Lila said. "We do that anyway."

"So that's it? If we go out, we can't wear panties?" 
Jessie said.

"Yup."

"Um... well... uh... what happens when I... uh... 
have my periods?"

Lars had forgotten about periods. If he even knew 
Jessie was having them. He knew all the older girls 
had them. He never forgot how Connie had acted when 
hers started. She'd been so happy when they started, 
and then got completely pissed off when it was 
pointed out that she was growing up now and had to 
start acting like a lady. That was something she 
hadn't anticipated. She wanted to keep being her old 
tomboy self. It had been a long couple of months 
before she finally accepted what was happening to her 
body. Accepted, but never happy about it.

He sighed. This wasn't going quite like he'd 
anticipated. "Well... okay. But only then."

"All right. But how long do we have to do this? When 
will you decide?"

"Oh. I don't know. I'll have to think about it."

"Well," Jessie sighed. "I guess that's the best we 
can do." She got a thoughtful look on her face. 
"Say... you wouldn't want one of us to sleep with 
you, so you can find out which one would be the best 
girlfriend in bed?"

"You want to sleep with me?" he gasped.

"Well, yeah. Isn't that what girlfriends do? Sleep 
with their boyfriends?"

"Where the hell did you get that idea?"

"Well... doesn't Amber sleep with Harry?"

"How would I know? Where do you get these crazy ideas 
from, anyway?"

Jessie shrugged. "It doesn't matter, I guess. If you 
don't want one of us to sleep with you, we'll just go 
to bed. Come on, Lila."

Lila started to put on her robe. Lars shook his 
finger at her. "Remember... you have to go naked all 
the time now."

He was still amazed to think they'd actually agreed 
to such a restriction. Lila shrugged and followed 
Jessie out of the room.

*

The next morning Lars woke up to a loud ruckus. 
Voices shouted and screamed from down in the kitchen. 
He could make out his mother's voice, and Jessie's, 
and he thought Amber was also involved somehow. He 
had a pretty good idea what was going on and his 
suspicion was confirmed when Lila came running into 
his bedroom. She was naked, tears streaming down her 
cheeks. She leaped onto the bed and cowered against 
his side.

"What's wrong?" he asked. As though he didn't know.

Lila shuddered. "It's Mommy. She's gone crazy. She 
started shouting as soon as we went downstairs for 
breakfast."

"What about?"

The girl shivered. "About... about us being naked."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. She... she... says we're stupid little girls 
and she's going to make us stay in our room all day 
and then she's going to sew us into our clothes and 
then she's going to spank us and... and... and..."

"And so?"

"And so we can't go naked like you told us to. We'll 
never know who you'll choose as your girlfriend now," 
she wailed.

Lars sighed. "Lila. Listen. I don't think I can 
choose one of you as my girlfriend. You're my 
sisters. Sisters can't be their brother's 
girlfriends. That's just the way it is. I'm sorry. I 
thought you guys wouldn't even consider doing such a 
thing. I'm sorry you got in trouble, but you really 
were being silly."

Lila buried her face in the pillow, sobbing her heart 
out. Lars reached over and patted her shoulder, then 
squeezed it. After a moment, she lifted her head and 
looked at him. Then much to his surprise, she climbed 
on top of him and hugged him tightly, her head tucked 
against his neck. After a moment, Lars wrapped his 
arms around her. He quite enjoyed the feel of her 
soft smooth skin and felt his cock start to grow.

She was still crying when Mom opened the door and 
came marching in. She strode up to the edge of the 
bed and stood there, arms folded, glaring down at 
them. "Lila," she said, very quietly, "go get 
dressed. And I don't want to hear another word about 
this from you. Or from Jessie."

Lila lifted her head, sniffling. "Mooom," she 
groaned.

"Go!"

Lila slowly slid off the bed and trudged away. She 
glanced over her bare shoulder before leaving the 
room, her cheeks wet with tears.

"Now. What is the meaning of all this? I got some 
cock and bull story from Jessie and it sounds so 
stupid it might just be true."

Lars sighed and slowly told her what had happened. "I 
never thought for a moment they'd really do it,' he 
finished.

"You were trying to make them see sense?"

"Yeah. I mean, I thought Jessie, at least, would be 
sensible. She's old enough to know better, I 
thought."

"She really wanted you to be her boyfriend?"

"That's what she said."

Mom shook her head. "That kid. Well..." she sighed 
and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Listen. I don't 
know how you really feel. But would it be so hard to 
treat her like a girlfriend for a little while? 
She'll probably forget all about once school starts 
again in the fall. She'll have boys falling all over 
her, I bet. She's going to be a very beautiful young 
lady, you know."

"Mom! She's my sister!"

"I know. I know. But... well... take her out on a 
date or something. Treat her the way you'd treat a 
real girlfriend. I bet she'll get over it real soon, 
and then you can relax. Maybe get a real girlfriend 
when school starts."

"But what about... you know?"

"What?"

"You know... didn't she say?"

"Say what?"

He sighed and felt his cheeks getting hot. "She 
wanted to sleep with me," he muttered.

"Oh." She leaned back. "I see."

She studied him for a long moment. Lars felt like 
squirming under her gaze. Finally, she said, "How did 
you feel about that?"

"Um... I... I don't know."

"Nervous, I bet. You didn't know what to do, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, maybe we need to nip this in the bud. Let her 
sleep with you. I bet she won't last more than a 
night or two."

"What? Mom!"

She leaned forward and grabbed his hand. "Lars, it's 
okay. Really. If Jessie wants to be silly, let her. 
She'll soon come to her senses. It's just puberty 
hitting her hard. I felt the same way when I was her 
age. I wanted to sleep with a boy, any boy, so bad it 
hurt sometimes. Then when I actually did it, it 
turned out to not be such a big deal." She let go his 
hand and sat back, staring off into space. "Though it 
was nice for a while," she murmured after a while. 
She looked back at him then. "Just do it. See what 
happens. I'm okay with it."

She got up and headed out of the room, then paused. 
"Breakfast is ready. Hurry up and get dressed."

When he got downstairs, Amber grinned at him. "Boy, 
you sure started something. You should have seen Mom 
when she found those two sitting here stark naked."

"Don't worry," he said. "I heard it. I heard a lot 
more when she came upstairs." He sighed. "Now I have 
to start treating Jessie like she's my girlfriend." 
He paused. "I don't even know how to treat a girl 
who's not my sister." He thought about Andi suddenly 
rushing away from him.

Amber laughed. "It's not so hard. Be nice to her; 
take her where she wants to go. Kiss and hug a bit. 
Buy some food. Talk to her. Especially, talk to her. 
That's what I like anyway." She paused. "I wish Harry 
would treat me like that."

"Uh... why don't you tell him what you just told me?"

"Because... well... I don't know. I guess I think he 
ought to know how to treat a girl."

"But Harry doesn't have any sisters so he doesn't 
have anyone to tell him."

"Yeah. Yeah, I guess so."

"Uh..."

"What?"

"Um... this is stupid. Mom... Jessie wants to sleep 
with me. Have you... have you ever slept with Harry? 
I mean, what happens?"

"What about Mom?" She said, avoiding answering the 
question.

"She said... she said it's okay. For Jessie to sleep 
with me."

"Oh." She stared off into space. "So... you want to 
know what to do?"

"Yeah."

"You thinking you should try to fuck her?"

"Uh..."

Amber started tapping her fingers on the table. She 
blushed. She stared out the kitchen window. She 
sighed. "Listen, Lars. This goes nowhere else, okay?"

"Yeah. Of course."

"I... have slept with Harry. Not all night. Not every 
time we get together. But... yeah... we've fucked. I 
don't know... I mean... she's your sister... that's 
supposed to be illegal or something, isn't it? But... 
if you do... just be gentle. Don't just... you 
know... shove your cock in and squirt your juice into 
her. Make her feel like she's part of it, touch her 
and hold her and... and... you know... don't be a 
jerk."

Lars couldn't contain his surprise that Amber would 
admit sleeping with Harry and almost didn't take in 
what she was saying. "But... but... but... I don't 
even know where it goes. I mean..."

Amber nodded. "I know. Harry didn't know either, the 
first time. But I'm sure she'll show you. Anyway, 
it's not that hard to figure out." She got up from 
the table. "I gotta get back to my story. Good luck." 
She walked quickly away. Lars noticed her nipples 
poking out the front of her T-shirt. He'd never paid 
a lot of attention to her. Now he noticed how snug 
her shorts were and how her buttocks twitched as she 
walked.

My god, he thought to himself. First I'm treated to 
two naked sisters and have to look forward to fucking 
one of them, and now I'm getting the hots for another 
one. He shook his head hard and began to fill a bowl 
with cereal. To top it off, he suddenly realized the 
girl's panties were still tucked under his mattress 
and the twins were home so there was no way he could 
return them. How had his life suddenly gotten so 
complicated?




CHAPTER TWO: THE DATE AND AFTER

Breakfast eaten, he trudged back upstairs. Jessie and 
Lila were in their bedroom, sprawled on their 
respective beds. Lila had put on a singlet and little 
blue shorts that hugged her bum. Jessie still wore 
her fluffy pink robe. He looked back and forth 
between and shook his head.

"What?" Jessie asked.

"It's just... I don't know... I don't understand you 
two. Anyway, Jessie, would you like to go out with me 
for a while? Like on a date?"

"You mean that?" she cried, sitting up.

"Yeah. We could... I don't know. Where would you like 
to go?"

"Oh... uh... can we go to the ice cream store and 
then maybe go for a walk by the river and then go 
have dinner together?"

"Yeah, sure. But you'd better get dressed. You can't 
go out like that."

"Okay!" She got off the bed and tossed the robe 
aside.

Lars beat a hasty retreat. "I have to go tell Mom 
what we're going to do," he said over his shoulder. 
Not to mention asking her for some money so he could 
treat his "girlfriend."

When he came back he found Jessie wearing her 
favourite red dress. It hugged her body and 
emphasized her small breasts. The skirt barely 
reached her knees. Lars thought it was getting too 
small on her.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yeah." She walked up to him and took his hand.

"Bye," Lila said. "I don't think it's fair though."

"What's not fair?" Lars asked.

"That Jessie gets to be your girlfriend without us 
having to make you choose."

"Oh. Well... you'll have to talk to Mom about that. 
Come on, let's go."

They stepped out onto the front porch and Jessie held 
him back.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing," she said. She looked him in the eye and 
lifted her skirt.

"What are you doing?" he gasped.

"You said not to wear underwear when we went out."

"That was before. I don't think... you better go back 
and put some panties on before Mom finds out."

She shook her head defiantly. "No. This is what we 
agreed to. Besides," she grinned. "I often don't wear 
panties anyway. It's no big deal. I know lots of 
girls who don't."

"You do?"

She giggled. "Yeah."

"Uh... who?" He was remembering the look of Andi's 
pants the other day, when he couldn't see an outline 
of panty hem.

"I'm not telling. I don't want you thinking of 
someone else instead of me."

Lars enjoyed the time at the ice cream parlour. He 
was surprised at what they talked about. He expected 
Jessie's conversation to revolve around what they 
were doing. Instead, she talked about a TV show 
they'd watched, and what she was planning on taking 
when school started again, and made some comments 
about a couple of little kids who were also enjoying 
their ice cream.

Later on, as they walked along the river path, she 
talked about what they were seeing, and identified 
some of the plants and trees, things he'd never taken 
any interest in. They stood and watched a family of 
swans cruising along the water, with her arm wrapped 
around his waist and his arm over her shoulder. When 
they reached the end of the path, they turned around 
and strolled back the way they'd come. Lars found he 
was relaxing in Jessie's company, more than he ever 
had before. He felt comfortable with her and even 
appreciated her.

He took her to an Italian restaurant for her 
favourite pasta dish, fettuccini Alfredo, and was 
amazed that she could tuck the whole serving away and 
ask for dessert. Afterwards, they sauntered home in 
the twilight, hand in hand, not talking much.

When they reached the house, she paused at the edge 
of the property and gazed up at him. Then, 
wordlessly, she turned and strolled up on to the 
porch, where she turned to him and hugged him.

"Thank, you, Lars. This has been the best day of my 
life." She reached up and kissed him, warm and soft 
lips on his. He had to wrap his arms around her to 
keep her from falling back. She pressed hard against 
him and the kiss lasted and lasted. He felt her lips 
part and her tongue passed over his lips and tried to 
penetrate into his mouth. The pressure was quite 
insistent and he pressed back with his own tongue, 
trying to keep her out. But he was unsuccessful and 
it slipped inside, to touch the tip of his own. It 
was an electrifying touch and he felt his cock spring 
into life, pressing firmly against her belly.

She leaned back after a long moment and smiled at 
him. "I... love you, Lars. Really."

He stared at her for a moment, and then pulled her 
back against his chest, cradling her head against his 
neck.

"I love you, too. I just never thought I loved you 
this way." He caressed her back with light strokes 
and she made a little gurgling sound.

"What do you mean?" she murmured.

"I loved you like a sister," he whispered. "Not like 
a girl."

"But... I am a girl."

"Oh, I know. How could I not, now? But now I'm 
starting to feel differently about you. More like 
you're... someone else's sister."

She giggled. "That's silly."

"I know. Let's see how things go, okay?"

"Okay." She shivered. The little abrupt movement made 
his cock stiffen even more.

"Cold?"

"A little. It's cooling off. Let's go in."

Over dinner Mom reported that Dad would be returning 
from his trip next evening. Lars and Jessie sat in 
with the others, even though they weren't hungry. "I 
don't know what the results are. He didn't say," she 
said.

"Why did he go away, anyway?" Janey asked.

Mom sighed. "He went to see if he could get a new 
job."

"What? Why?" Amber said. "What's wrong with the one 
he has?"

"Nothing. But, well, if he could get this job, it 
would mean more money. Sometimes it's pretty hard 
making ends meet with the one he has." She smiled 
around the table. "Nine people eat a lot of food, you 
know. And keeping this big house going eats up a lot 
of money, too."

"Oh, Mom," Elaine said. "We could get jobs, too, to 
help out."

"Maybe, someday, it'll come to that. But right now, 
what could you do? Work at McDonalds for minimum 
wage? It wouldn't help much, I'm afraid. No, I think 
you two should finish your college before you start 
looking for jobs. We'll manage."

"I could mow lawns," Lars said.

"So could I," Amber said.

"Me too," Connie added.

Mom laughed. "I don't think there's enough lawns in 
the neighbourhood for the three of you. But thank 
you, anyway. Like I said, for now, things are okay. 
Don't worry."

*

Later, Lars fell into bed and was almost asleep. The 
long walk in the fresh air seemed to have made him 
extra sleepy. And then he'd had a little more food 
with the family when they got home. He yawned.

The door opened and Jessie came in. She tossed her 
robe aside and slipped, naked, under the covers 
beside him.

"Jessie! What are you doing?"

"I'm your girlfriend now, aren't I?"

"Yeah. I... guess so. So what?"

"Well, girls sleep with their boyfriends. So here I 
am." She snuggled against his side, one arm thrown 
over his chest. She yawned, kissed his cheek, and 
murmured, "G'night."

"They don't all the time," he whispered. "Mom'll kill 
us if she finds you here."

"Uh-uh. Mom said it was okay."

"She did?" Well, she had said the same thing to him. 
But he didn't think it would ever happen.

"Yeah. So it's okay." She squeezed him, gave him 
another soft kiss. "Relax. Go to sleep." She yawned 
again. "That's what I'm gonna do."

After a while, he felt her seem to slump into the 
mattress. Her breathing became slow and regular, the 
arm over his chest relaxed and slowly withdrew. Lars 
realized she must be asleep. But he was fighting a 
nervous battle. He'd never slept with anyone before, 
female or male. Jessie made a comfortable soft 
impression at his side, her skin warm and smooth and 
the slow rise and fall of her breathing felt nice. 
But... well... having her naked body so close beside 
him was disturbing to say the least. His cock was 
shoving the covers into a distinct hill. He could 
feel it throbbing against his sleep pants and the 
bedding.

Despite everything though, he eventually dozed off. 
But it wasn't a restful sleep. Every time Jessie 
moved, he jumped back to wide-awake, only to doze 
again. He finally settled into a deep sleep late in 
the night.

*

Morning. Lars woke up with the sense of a warm body 
at his side. Oh, yeah. Jessie. He turned his head. 
She had moved onto her back in the night and a ray of 
sunlight played over her heart-shaped face. A small 
smile graced her mouth. She really was pretty, Lars 
thought. Maybe would even be gorgeous in a few years. 
He had to pee and realized he had another erection. 
Or maybe the same one. He slipped out of bed and 
tiptoed across the hall to the bathroom. It was hard 
to pee with a hard on and he finally resorted to 
masturbating to relieve the pressure.

Back in bed, he found Jessie rolled onto her side. He 
lay facing her. She stirred and opened her eyes.

"Good morning," she murmured. "Where were you?"

"I had to go to the bathroom."

"Oh." She reached over and brushed his cheek. "Did 
you sleep well?"

"Not really."

"Oh. What happened?"

He sighed. "Every time you moved, I woke up."

"Why?"

"I guess because I'm not used to sleeping with 
anyone. Especially someone like you. I was... 
nervous. Scared."

"Scared? Why would you be scared by sleeping with 
your girlfriend?"

"Because I was worried someone would come in and find 
you in bed with me."

"But it's okay. Mom said so. Why worry about anyone 
else? Besides, Lila knows where I am and she wouldn't 
come in. And when's the last time one of the other 
girls ever came into your room in the middle of the 
night?"

"Well," he shrugged. "Never, as far as I know."

"So there you are. No need to get upset." She 
snuggled against him and caressed his chest, then 
pressed her soft warm lips to his. He felt his cock 
getting hard again. She moved her hand down his chest 
and over his belly.

"Hey, why are you wearing pants in bed?"

"Huh? I always do."

"That's dumb. Especially when you're sleeping with 
your girlfriend. You better take them off." Her hand 
moved down over the waistband and encountered his 
thickening cock. "Ooo, you've got a hard on. Is that 
for me? Come on, I've gotta see it." She shoved the 
covers down to their knees and tugged at the pants.

Lars struggled with his conscious for a long moment, 
then lifted up so she could push them down. His cock 
sprang free with soft slap on his abdomen. Jessie 
propped herself up on an elbow and gazed at it.

"That's nice," she whispered. "I like it. It's so 
much nicer than the ones you see on the internet." 
She touched the swollen tip with her finger, and then 
slid along the length to his scrotum. "I always 
wondered what it would feel like. It's sort of warm 
and hard and soft at the same time." She grinned at 
him. "Much nicer than Amber's dildo."

Amber had a dildo? "How do you know she has such a 
thing?"

"Oh, I found it one day when I was looking for 
something. It's bigger than your cock, so you should 
fit in me easily."

"You've... used it?"

"Oh, of course. So's Lila. We wanted to find out what 
it would feel like to have a cock in our pussies. 
It's really too big for her, but we got it half way 
in anyway. I got it all the way into me," she said 
proudly.

"How... how... how big is it?"

"Oh..." she traced his cock end to end and moved her 
finger another inch or two beyond the tip. "About 
that long, I guess, and thicker." She grinned at him. 
"So you'll fit in me." She got up on her knees, 
straddled his legs and held him up straight under her 
crotch. "Here goes." Down she dropped, slowly letting 
his cock penetrate into a warm moist channel. He'd 
never felt anything like it and never even imagined 
what it would feel like.

Jessie started pumping up and down, a look of sheer 
ecstasy on her face. She closed her eyes leaned back, 
making little moaning sounds from her half open 
mouth. Lars felt the passion too and began pumping up 
as she came down. He thought it had been a good thing 
he'd come already because he doubted he'd be able to 
last for long...

"Uh," Jessie gasped suddenly. "UhUhUH! Ohgodohgod... 
AHHhhhh!" Lars felt her cunt spasm around his cock as 
she stopped moving and lurched forward to press her 
hands on his chest. The rhythmical clamping around 
his rampant member pushed him over the edge and he 
squirted half a dozen shots of sperm into her. She 
collapsed completely on top of him, barely breathing. 
He wrapped his arms around her soft hot body. He felt 
his softening cock slither out, followed by a gush of 
jism.

Several minutes passed. Jessie's breathing slowly 
returned to normal and she rested her cheek against 
his throat.

"Oh, Lars," she murmured. "Our first fuck. I was so 
ready for this. I never knew how wonderful it would 
be. Nothing at all like using the dildo. Oh, I love 
you. I love you. I love you. I want to do this for 
ever and ever and ever." She kissed him then, long 
and soft, moving her head around, slipping her tongue 
into his mouth.

After a while, she slid off his chest to lay cuddled 
at his side. "Our first fuck after our first date. 
Wow. I wonder if all girls feel like this after their 
first time." She kissed him again. Her eyes closed 
and her breathing slowed, matching his own. They 
dozed off, arms around each other.




CHAPTER THREE: DAD COMES HOME

When Lars eventually got downstairs, he found Mom and 
the twins bustling about the kitchen.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Dad's coming home this afternoon, late," Janey said. 
"We're trying to get ready for him. Here, help me 
make a salad. Get the lettuce and stuff out of the 
fridge and start shredding it."

"But I haven't even had breakfast," he complained.

"You shouldn't sleep so late, then," Elaine said. 
"Come on, lend a hand. You can eat later."

"How much later?"

"As soon as everything is ready," Mom said. "Help 
Janey make the salad while we get the pasta ready to 
cook. There's bread baking in the oven and Elaine's 
going to make a pie for dessert."

Well, shredding lettuce was easy enough. He'd done it 
lots of times. He watched as Mom filled a huge pot 
with water and added some stuff while he yanked 
lettuce leaves into small pieces. Janey was cutting 
up tomatoes and cucumbers while he did that. Finally, 
everything seemed to be satisfactory to the women.

Mom sighed and looked around the kitchen. "Elaine, 
you put the pasta on at four-thirty. Make sure the 
pie is done and started slicing some bread at five. 
We should be home by five-thirty or a little later, 
depending on if the flight is on time."

"Yes, Mom," Elaine said, making shooing motions. "Go 
and get yourself ready. Everything will fine."

Lars didn't know what Mom needed to do to get ready. 
She looked perfectly fine to him, dressed in green 
slacks and a T-shirt. She looked around once again, 
then headed for the bedroom.

Elaine sighed and plopped down on a chair beside 
Lars. "Man, she worries too much. I'm glad you're 
going to drive her to the airport. I don't think 
she'd make it on her own,' she said to Janey.

"That's okay," Janey said. "I get to welcome Dad home 
before any of you." She grinned. "He'll sure have 
some surprises when he gets here," she added, looking 
at Lars.

"Oh, don't tease our little brother," Elaine said. 
She reached over and squeezed Lars's leg. "He's got a 
lot on his plate right now. Did you sleep well?"

"Uh, not really," Lars said, feeling his ears 
burning.

"Guess that's why he got up so late," Janey said. She 
put a bowl of cereal in front of him. "You have to 
keep your strength up, now, bro."

"Yeah. Say... what's happened to Jessie? I thought 
she'd be here wanting breakfast too," Elaine said.

"She, uh, she was still asleep when I came down," 
Lars said. Now his face was red too.

"He must have worn her out," Elaine said to Janey.

"Yeah." Janey grinned at him. "It's not news, you 
know. Mom told us what was going on and made us 
promise not to interfere or bother you two."

He stared across the table at her. She looked a 
little flushed too, and her nipples were making 
prominent lumps on the front of her blouse.

Just then Mom came back into the kitchen. Now she was 
wearing a short dress held up with skinny spaghetti 
straps. She'd brushed her dark brown hair until it 
glowed, and put on makeup. Lars couldn't remember the 
last time she'd gotten so dressed up.

"I'm ready to go," she said to Janey.

Janey glanced at the kitchen clock. "Lots of time, 
Mom. We don't need to rush. We'll just have to sit 
around waiting if we get there too soon."

"Oh, I know. But I'd like to go, anyway. In case 
there's some kind of hold up along the way. You know 
what traffic around the airport can be like."

Janey laughed. "Okay. Let's go."

At last things settled down in the kitchen. Elaine 
and the other girls went downstairs to watch TV, 
while Amber retreated to her room to work on her 
book. Lars took the opportunity to sneak the panties 
from under his mattress and toss them into the twin's 
laundry basket.

*

The airport was a chaotic hive of activity when they 
got there. A jumbo jet from Asia had just landed and 
the place swarmed with women in bright saris and tall 
bearded men wearing turbans in many colours. Not to 
mention the gaggles of children racing around.

"I'm glad it's a domestic flight," Prudence said, 
sidestepping a little girl. "We can go up to the 
other arrivals area. It should be quieter."

As Janey thought, they had a long wait, and the wait 
seemed to get longer. She studied the video displays 
and saw that Dad's flight was twenty minutes late. 
When the plane eventually landed, there was another 
interminable wait before the passengers started 
streaming into the room.

"There he is," Pru shouted and raced forward to fling 
herself in Byron's arms. They kissed and hugged, then 
came over to Janey.

"What happened?" she asked. "Why were you so late?"

"Oh, there was some kind of problem in Chicago," 
Byron said. "We actually made pretty good time after 
that. And then there was something wrong with the 
loading dock and they couldn't get it lined up 
properly with the door. Now all we have to is wait 
for my bag."

Pru clung to his side, and he wrapped an arm around 
her shoulders, caressing her bare skin. She shivered 
and leaned her head against him. He leaned down and 
kissed the top of her head. She squeezed tighter.

Janey stood back, watching them. Seeing them like 
that, so sensually touching each other, made her 
realize how much she was missing Robbie, her 
boyfriend. He'd been away all summer and she hadn't 
had any sex since he left. Watching her parents, she 
suddenly realized her cunt was getting wet. She 
glanced down her front and saw her nipples were 
erect. God, she thought, why do I get horny here of 
all places.

There was still no sign of the luggage appearing on 
the carousel. She made quick decision.

"Uh, excuse me. I'll be back in a minute or two," she 
said to her parents and made a beeline for the 
nearest restroom.

She dived into the nearest stall and shoved her pants 
down. Sitting on the throne, she dipped fingers into 
her flooded cunt and reached under her top to pinch a 
nipple. Her clit came alive as a finger stroked back 
and forth. Tingles started shooting back and forth 
from the nipple to the clit. God, she wished she had 
a dildo with her, to shove deep inside and vibrate 
the oh so sensitive G spot.

She felt the orgasm coming and started to groan, then 
made a supreme effort to keep quiet as her body took 
over, squirming on the hard seat. After a bit, she 
leaned back, panting. That had been a good one. She 
couldn't remember the last time she'd come in a 
public washroom. Probably in high school. When she 
felt able, she dried her cunt with some tissue and 
stood up on slightly wobbly legs. 

She washed her hands and went back out to the 
arrivals room just in time to see the luggage finally 
start to show up.

Her dad's bag was one of the first one down. Byron 
stepped forward and grabbed it, lifting effortlessly, 
and then turned to Pru and Janey.

"Got it! Let's go." He strode a way, swinging the bag 
as though it was empty, with Pru hanging on his arm.

"You drive," Pru said to Janey. She opened the van's 
back door and climbed, pulling Byron after her.

All the way home, Janey couldn't really tell what was 
going on behind her. But she could hear little gasps 
and moans and the rustle of cloth, panting and sighs 
and grunts. She figured she knew what was going on, 
and felt glad she'd masturbated so she could keep her 
attention on the road.

When they got home, everyone piled out of the house 
to welcome their dad back (including Jessie, Janey 
noted).

Pru's dress looked dishevelled, with one strap down 
her arm and the top of her breasts on view. Janey 
thought Byron's fly was open as Pru led him into the 
house.

"You guys get everything ready," she called over her 
shoulder. "We'll be back in a few minutes." They 
disappeared into the bedroom and shut the door.

*

A PARENTAL INTERLUDE

Later, after dinner, after everyone had disappeared 
upstairs, Pru snuggled against Byron's side, her head 
cushioned on his left arm. She sighed.

"I missed you."

"I was only gone a week," he said, chuckling.

"It seemed like forever. I'm not used to sleeping 
alone, or going so long without sex."

"I know what you mean about that. I'm glad my hand 
still works."

She giggled. "Me too. And my dildo."

She rubbed his chest and let her hand drift down to 
his damp cock. After holding it for a few moments, 
she twisted around and licked the knob. Then she took 
it into her mouth and sucked the last few drops of 
semen out.

"I always liked the way you taste," she said, sliding 
back into his arms.

"You taste pretty good, too," he said, planting a 
kiss on her forehead. "Want me to make sure? That I 
still like the way you taste?"

She sighed. "Later, maybe. Right now, I'm still 
coming down. Lars tastes the same way you do. Or he 
did when he was little, anyway."

"Really? You sucked him off?"

"Not exactly. But one afternoon I just decided to 
find out and I licked his little cock when I was 
changing his diaper." She giggled. "I think he liked 
it."

"What happened?"

"He just laughed and smiled. Nothing else."

A few minutes later, she told him about Lars and 
Jessie.

"So, like father like son?" he said.

"And like mother like daughter." She paused. "When 
did you first start having sex? I mean, real sex?"

"Mmm... I think I was thirteen. Clair and I were 
fooling around. I touched her pussy with my cock and 
pushed it in a little bit, just in the slot. But I 
was too excited and I came, so she was kind of messy. 
I helped her clean up. Then she said it felt nice and 
would I do it again. So I did. Only that time, she 
had me get between her legs and when I started to put 
it in, she made sure it went in all the way. So that 
was my first real fuck."

"You'd already been sleeping together, though, hadn't 
you?"

"Uh-huh."

She sighed. "I've always had a hard time sleeping 
alone. I guess that's why I lost my cherry at such a 
young age."

"Eleven's not that young these days. That's how old 
Clair was."

"I'd been sleeping with Vince or Riley off and on for 
three or four years by then. I liked the way it felt 
when they touched me. So I guess it was pretty much 
the same way for me... I guided him into my cunt and 
we fucked. And fucked and fucked. Ooo, I was a bad 
girl," she giggled.

"I'm glad you had so much experience though, love. It 
was so easy to love you. It's still great. I couldn't 
fuck anyone else now, not and enjoy it anyway."

"Thank you, my love. I haven't slept with anyone 
else. I don't even know anyone I'd go to bed with 
besides you."

His hand squeezed her pubic mound, fingers twisting 
the damp dark curls on it.

"Mmm," she murmured. "Maybe now would be a good time 
to find out if I still taste good..."


CHAPTER FOUR: LILA

Lars was in bed one night about two weeks after 
Jessie started sleeping with him. He'd been waiting 
for her a while and wondering where she'd got to. 
Having become used to her beside him, or under him, 
or on top of him, he now looked forward to her 
presence.

Finally she slouched in and sat on the edge of the 
bed. She hung her head and seemed to be crying.

He reached out to run a finger down the middle of her 
bare back and she flinched away.

"Oh-oh," he said, "what's wrong?"

She shuddered. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I 
can't... can't sleep with you tonight."

"Why not? Don't you love me any more?"

"Of course I do. Don't be stupid. It's just... that 
my period started. I... hate it... I can't stand to 
be around people, to have them touching me, to... 
to... to try to make love. I'm sorry. I'm gonna sleep 
in my own bed. "

"Oh, well, I'm sorry too. But I do understand."

She got up and said, "Good night. I love you. I'll 
sleep with you again in a few days. I'll... I'll send 
Lila, she'll sleep with you."

"Lila?"

"Well, yeah. I mean... she's been wanting to ever 
since we made that deal to see who would be your 
girlfriend. Remember? So... I'm gonna let her sleep 
with you while I have my period."

"But..."

"It's okay, Lars. I'm okay with it." She blew him a 
kiss and went out.

Lars flopped back on the bed. He wasn't at all sure 
it was okay. The agreement had been for Jessie to 
sleep with him, with the understanding that she'd get 
over it soon and go back to sleeping in her own bed. 
There'd been nothing said about substituting Lila. 
What would Mom say?

For that matter, he thought, what had Dad said when 
he found out? Or had he found out? He'd certainly 
never said anything, or even hinted he knew. Maybe, 
Lars thought, I need to have another talk with Mom.

At that moment, Lila came. "Hi," she said. She stood 
by the bed and took off her robe. "Is this the side I 
sleep on?"

"Uh... Lila," Lars said. "I don't know about this."

"About what?"

"About you sleeping with me. I mean... I'm supposed 
to be Jessie's boyfriend. Not yours. Do you think Mom 
knows about this?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. But Jessie wants me to, 
so you don't forget how to make love while she's 
having her period."

"Huh?"

"Well, yeah. You're supposed to make love to me, so 
you won't forget how."

"That doesn't make a bit of sense. Even if I could 
forget in a few days, it just sounds stupid."

She pouted. "I bet it's just because you don't want 
to make love to me. What's wrong with me?"

"Uh... well... you're right. I don't. But there's 
nothing wrong with you as far as I can see. It's just 
that you're not my girlfriend. And... and... and 
besides, you're too young."

"Says who? I know how to do it. Jessie and me 
practice all the time with Amber's dildo. I like it. 
I want to know what it's like with a real cock."

Lars made an effort change the subject. "How come 
Amber was letting you use her dildo, anyway?"

"I don't think she was letting us, exactly. Jessie 
sneaks it out of her room sometimes when she isn't at 
home."

"I see. So do you think that was honest?"

Lila shrugged. "I don't know. But it was fun. I used 
it on Jessie an' she used it on me. We didn't know 
what we were doing at first, but we found some 
instructions on the Internet. It... it was kind of 
painful the first time she put it in me. But I got 
used to it. She says your cock isn't as fat and it'll 
fit perfectly."

She climbed under the covers and turned her head. "I 
think you should be on top the first time."

"Uh... why?"

"'Coz you can control how hard you push in. I might 
shove it in too hard if I'm on top. But you gotta 
make love to me first. You know, kiss an' hug an' 
touch an' stuff. Jessie says it warms her up and 
makes her extra horny an' her pussy gets nice an' 
wet."

Lars sighed. "Well... you have to help me get ready, 
too."

"Oooo, you mean I can play with your cock?"

"Yeah."

That wasn't all there was to it, of course. Lila was 
kind of clumsy and tentative. That made Larson 
tentative too. Oh, he got hard enough, and he enjoyed 
the feel of Lila's body with its soft warm skin. Her 
pussy did get nice and wet, the labia swollen and 
red, the tiny clitoris erect and waiting. He fingered 
her and sucked and licked and kissed and caressed 
until she was squirming around the bed.

"You gotta do it now," she finally gasped, pushing 
his head off her nipple.

"Okay. You sure now?"

"Yes. Just do it!"

He got between her thin thighs and lifted her legs 
over his shoulders so he could get clear and easy 
access to her pussy. His cock pressed against the 
heat in her crotch. He manoeuvred it into her opening 
and slowly sank in. The broad tip of his cock was 
barely inside when he saw her bit her lower lip. Her 
face went from flushed to ashen. He paused.

"You okay?"

"Uh... yeah... I guess so."

She sure didn't seem okay, Lars though. He eased a 
little more into her. She turned her head away and 
squeezed her eyes shut. She grabbed his arms and held 
on tight. He pushed in some more. She was a lot 
tighter than Jessie, that was for sure. She made a 
little whimpering sound. The trouble was, he was now 
almost over the edge. He pushed in a little more, 
then drew back. He made some slow thrusts in and out. 
Tears started trickling from her eyes. Then there was 
nothing he could do. The eruption came filling the 
tight confines to overflowing. He held his cock in 
her until it softened and slithered out.

"You didn't really like that, did you?" he said, 
gathering her into his arms.

She started crying and shook her head. "I'm sorry," 
she wailed. "No, I didn't. It... it... it didn't feel 
right. I liked the hugging and kissing and stuff. 
That was nice. But... no... I'm sorry...It's so... so 
messy and your body is so hard. Not like Jessie. I... 
I... I guess I'm just not ready."

He kissed her wet eyes and brushed the tears from her 
cheeks. "It's okay. It's okay. You don't have to do 
it if you don't want to."

"But... what if you forget how? Then Jessie will be 
mad at me."

"That's silly. There's no way I'll ever forget how. 
Now, you just relax. You can sleep with me if you 
want to, and I won't do anything you don't like."

"Really? You mean that?"

"Of course. I love you and would never hurt you."

"But I thought you loved Jessie," she sniffled.

"I do. And I love you and I love Amber and Connie and 
Janey and Elaine too. But that doesn't mean I fuck 
them, does it?"

"I... guess so."

"Right." He wrapped her in a hug and cradled her head 
on his shoulder. "Now, you go to sleep. We won't say 
anything about this to Jessie, okay?"

Lars held Lila in his arms for some time, feeling her 
gradually relax into sleep. It was a nice feeling, 
having her warm soft body tight against him like 
that, and he feel asleep himself soon after.




CHAPTER FIVE: SUMMER TIMES

The summer drifted to a conclusion. Jessie continued 
to sleep with Lars, much to his surprise, but, once 
the initial excitement wore off, she didn't demand 
sex every night. Lila came to him when Jessie's next 
period arrived. Lars made love to her, but didn't 
attempt to fuck her. At the end of the week, she 
rested her head on his chest and sighed.

"This is so nice," she murmured. "But it's gotta be 
hard for you. I mean, you're all hard and everything, 
but you don't want to hurt me."

He sighed and squeezed her gently. "It's okay, 
sweetie. I'll survive. Of course, if you felt up to 
it..."

"Oh, Lars. No. I don't want to fuck. I'm sorry."

"No, what I was going to suggest is that you jerk me 
off. Or give me a blowjob."

"Oh." She reached down and touched his straining 
cock. "Um... I could, I guess. Tell me what to do."

"Just, you know, rub it with your hand."

"Like this?"

"Ohhh, yeah."

She gripped him and moved her hand up and down. His 
body responded, jerking back and forth. He gritted 
his teeth, not wanting to come too soon. He'd 
masturbated before getting into bed, but he knew he 
was still horny. 

"Getting close," he gasped. "Oh! Yeah! Ugh!!!"

The stuff squirted out, spraying all over his belly. 
Six or seven shots of sperm rocketed out. Lila 
stopped rubbing and just held his cock until it 
stopped. As his cock began shrinking, she squeezed it 
gently.

"Wow," she sighed. "So that's what it looks like. I 
did wonder what happened when you fucked me that 
time." She traced a line of sperm with a fingertip. 
"Jessie says sometimes she tastes it." She licked the 
end of her finger and shrugged. "Doesn't taste like 
much, to me. Was it okay for you?"

"Oh, yeah," Lars sighed. "Great. Thanks."


On a warm August afternoon, Lars sat under a friendly 
shade tree trying to concentrate on a book. Lila kept 
distracting his attention. She was sprawled on her 
back, nearby, soaking up the sun, and wearing a mere 
wisp of almost transparent cloth over her mound. 
Every time she moved, his eyes jumped from the page 
to her body.

Stupid, he thought. It wasn't as though he hadn't 
become completely familiar with her nude body. It was 
just that little triangle of cloth that tantalized 
him.

He almost wished it was Jessie, but she'd gone off to 
visit her friend Charmaine. He felt uncomfortably 
warm, his cock making attempts to come erect in his 
shorts.

He looked up from the book, or maybe from Lila, as 
Amber came outside. She walked over to him, her skin, 
what he could see of it, glowing in the sunlight. She 
wore a skimpy tank top and short shorts. Her breasts 
moved a bit under the cloth.

She sank down to her knees in front of him. "You got 
a minute?"

"Sure. What's up?"

"I finally finished my book. I wonder if you'd mind 
looking over the first couple of chapters. Proofread 
it or something. Let me know what you think. Check 
for grammar and punctuation. You're good at that sort 
of thing."

"Oh, yeah. Sure. When?"

"Well, now, if you're not too busy."

"Okay." He got up and left the book under the tree to 
follow her inside.

"You want to read off the screen, or should I print 
it out?" Amber asked as they entered her room. She 
pushed the door shut.

"Oh, I guess I can read it off the screen." He sat 
down in her chair and began reading, conscious of her 
lurking anxiously behind him. He could feel her 
warmth on his bare back.

He finished the first chapter and leaned back, then 
jerked forward again when he pressed up against her 
belly.

"Uh... that's good," he said, turning around. "I 
fixed some spelling mistakes, but I like the way it's 
going. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of 
it."

"Thanks," she said. She stood looking at him for a 
moment, then suddenly leaned down and hugged him.

"Lars," she whispered. "Would you..."

"What?" he asked, caressing her back.

"Fuck me," she gasped.

"What?" He jerked back.

"I'm so horny," she moaned. "I haven't had any sex 
all summer, not since Harry went off to plant trees."

"Oh. But... why me? You could have any guy out 
there."

"I know." She started pushing her shorts down. "But 
you're here and I'm here and the bed's there and I 
need it now." She tossed the shorts aside and slipped 
her top off.

Lars couldn't remember if he'd ever seen Amber nude. 
He automatically studied her, comparing her to Jessie 
and Lila. There was no contest as far as figure was 
concerned. Amber had heavy looking firm breasts, 
tipped with crimson nipples. Her slim waist widened 
into smooth round hips. Her mound, her swollen mound, 
was covered with dark curls. The clitoral hood pushed 
out, pink and shiny. She licked her lips, her tongue 
moving back and forth.

He could feel his cock coming to full attention, 
thrusting the front of his shorts out. She grabbed 
his hands and pulled him out of the chair. It took 
her only a moment the undo his shorts and shove them 
to the floor, freeing his cock. She took it in her 
mouth for a few seconds, lapping the knob, sucking. 
Then she stood up and flopped on the bed. She spread 
her legs wide.

"Come on. Hurry," she gasped, holding out her arms.

Suddenly, Lars was operating on automatic. He knelt 
between her thighs and leaned down to suckle the 
engorged nipples, one by one. She moaned and lurched 
up at him, grappling for his cock.

"Just fuck me," she urged, pulling him into her 
crotch. "You can do that later."

He sank into her easily. She wrapped her long smooth 
legs around his waist and surged up.

"Oh, god, Lars. Yes. Yes. Ohhh. I need it so bad." 
She continued muttering as she thrust frantically at 
him until he caught her rhythm and began pounding 
back.

It seemed like only a few seconds before he felt her 
cunt begin to spasm around his cock. Usually he 
managed to hold back when having sex with Jessie, but 
not this time. The urgency of her movements, the feel 
of her healthy warm body under him, and the rapid 
fluttering of her cunt sent him over the edge. He 
flooded her with seven or eight ejaculations as she 
squirmed under him, gasping and moaning.

Then, spent, she relaxed with a long sigh.

"That was... wonderful," she murmured, running her 
hands over his back. Her legs sagged down to the bed. 
He could feel her heart pounding in her chest, her 
rapid breathing. She pulled his face down and kissed 
him. He could feel the jism leaking out around his 
cock and noticed it hadn't softened much. "You're 
still hard," she said. He felt her squeeze his cock 
with her vagina. "I hope you can do it again. As many 
times as you can manage. I don't know why I'm so 
horny. But you can stay here all afternoon, if you 
want to. Fuck me lots, Lars. I know you're supposed 
to be Jessie's, but I need it too. So much. I wish 
Harry was here, but he's not and you are and you're a 
good fucker, Lars, and I want you to do me." She 
stopped babbling and kissed him again.

Lars caught his breath and began thrusting into her, 
long slow strokes. He could make himself last for 
quite a while that way with Jessie. He propped 
himself up on his elbows and took her breasts in his 
hands, squeezing the nipples, rotating them, 
massaging the meat in his palms. She gurgled in 
pleasure. He bent his head and sucked one of the hard 
nips into his mouth, chewing gently with his teeth. 
She gasped and bucked under him, almost throwing him 
off.

He thrust more firmly, pinning her to the bed. Not 
that it helped. She squirmed and gasped and clamped 
her legs around him again, jerking frantically. He 
noticed her eyes were clamped shut, her mouth open 
and gasping for air as she writhed under him. Her 
second orgasm surprised him as her vagina clamped 
down in a vice grip and she squealed. Her body went 
rigid for a long moment and then started jerking. He 
sped up his thrusts and spilled more ejaculate into 
as her gyrations slowed down.

This time his cock softened and slithered out of her 
flooded cunt. She moaned into his mouth, trying to 
hold him inside. Her legs pulled him into her but 
there was no way he could stay hard after coming so 
hard twice.

"Nooo," she moaned. "Don't. Stay in me. I need it 
again. Stay in me," she wailed.

"I'm sorry," he gasped. "I can't. Be patient. I'll 
get hard again in a bit."

"But I want you now," she moaned.

"Just... wait," he said, sliding off to her side. 
"Let me make some love to you, then we can fuck 
again."

"Oh, Lars. Oh, Lars. Yes. Make me come again. I can't 
wait. Ohhhh."

He worked her over, trying to find every erogenous 
zone, dipping his fingers deep into her gooey cunt to 
find her G spot, taking her clit into his mouth and 
chewing gently while he squeezed a nipple. She came 
again, throwing him off her furry mound but not 
expelling his probing fingers. He kept working, 
sending her over the edge yet again. He could feel 
his cock grow rampant again and positioned himself 
between her smooth soft thighs.

"Ready?" he asked, rubbing her engorged labia with 
his cock.

"Ohhh, do it. Do it," she groaned. He sank into her, 
using the slow thrusts that seemed to please her 
most. She moved under him, now slow and sensuous. She 
made whispering comments as he fucked, almost more 
noises than words. He made his thrusts firmer and she 
surged against him, cooing and laughing.

When it was over, he rolled to her side panting. He 
doubted he'd ever lasted so long before. Jessie liked 
to do it maybe twice and then was satisfied. He 
stared at Amber in wonder.

She rested against his side, breathing slowly. She 
looked at peace, her chest rising and falling easily, 
eyes shut, lips slightly parted. She felt around and 
held his hand for a long time, then moved it to a 
breast and pressed it against the nipple. She sighed.

"That was wonderful. I've never felt like this 
before. I may have to trade you for Harry. Now I know 
why Jessie is so happy." She laughed softly. "Some 
day you're going to make a woman very happy. I'll be 
so jealous."

"So Harry doesn't make you happy?" he murmured.

"Well... sometimes. But... we've never done it so 
often. And... I don't usually come so many times. 
Wow. I wonder how many times I came? I didn't count. 
I should have. Lars..." she turned her head. "I don't 
know how we'll do it, but this won't be the only 
time. Just... just don't tell Jessie. I don't want 
her to be mad at me."

He kissed her gently. "I don't fuck and tell. This is 
between us. Only us."

They fell into a blissful doze and were still napping 
when someone knocked on the door.

"Yes?" Amber groaned. "Who is it?"

"Just me," Connie said. "It's dinner time. Do you 
know where Lars is? He's not in his room." She 
naturally didn't open the door. That was a firm rule 
amongst them. If a door was shut, it should stay shut 
unless one was invited inside.

"No," Amber said. "He's here. We're... working on my 
book. We'll be down in a few minutes."

"Okay. See you there."

Amber sighed. "I guess we'd better have a quick wash 
before we go down. We must be kind of smelly."

Lars chuckled. "You always smell good to me, but I'm 
sure we'd feel more comfortable." He got up and 
offered her his hand.

Jessie looked at them kind of strangely, he thought, 
when they came downstairs. She didn't say anything 
though, merely pressed her leg against his when he 
sat down beside her. Amber sat beside Connie on the 
other side of the table, as usual.

Later, though, when she got into bed beside him, she 
put her head on his shoulder and murmured, "Did you 
fuck Amber this afternoon?"

"What?" he jerked out.

"Well, I want to know. Did you?"

"Uh..."

"You did, didn't you?"

"Jessie..."

"Lars, it's okay. If you did. I mean... well... she 
must be going crazy with Harry away. I know I would 
if we didn't fuck for weeks." She sighed and caressed 
his chest. "She looked so pleased and happy and 
relaxed, it was almost as if she wanted the world to 
know something good had happened to her."

Lars took her hand in his. "Jessie... you're right. 
But it doesn't mean I don't love you any more. She... 
she just needed it. She was ready to rape me, I 
think."

She kissed his cheek. "It's okay. Just, you know, 
don't dump me for her. I couldn't stand that."

He turned on his side and pulled her against his 
chest. "Don't worry, dear. You're the only girl who 
gets to sleep with me." He kissed her softly. She 
sighed and snuggled into his arms.

"Except Lila," she giggled. "Don't forget her."

"No. I won't." He caressed her back down to her bum 
and squeezed a cheek. "You want to...?"

"Uh-uh. Just hold me like this for a while. I don't 
always want to fuck. I like to be held and loved just 
as much. This is... perfect." She tipped her head 
back and kissed him. "Just perfect."

*

He met Amber next morning as he came out of the 
bathroom. Jessie had already gone downstairs. Amber 
smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Thanks for 
yesterday," she whispered.

"Any time. Uh... Jessie knows. She figured it out 
without me saying anything."

"Oh. Are we in trouble?"

"No," he shook his head. "She... she sympathized with 
the way you felt. She was okay with it."

Amber heaved a sigh. "That's okay then." She paused 
in the bathroom doorway. "Would she get upset if we 
did it again?"

"I don't think so."

"Good. I don't usually get so horny, but you never 
know what'll happen." She blew him a kiss and went 
inside.

Jessie and Lila were arguing amiably about something 
when Lars got to the kitchen. Connie was absorbed in 
the morning paper, while the twins were gobbling 
their breakfast before taking off for the day to 
their summer jobs as swimming instructors. Dad had 
already left for work. Pru was mixing something in a 
big bowl.

"I think, today," she said, "we're going to have to 
go to the beach. It's just the sort of day, too warm 
but not too hot, to make it enjoyable. What do you 
guys think?"

"Yeah!" Lila said. "When are we going?"

"Right after lunch, I think. That way our food will 
have settled down on the way and you can hit the 
water as soon as we get there."

"Ooo, can I wear my new suit?"

Lila had talked Pru into buying her a skimpy two-
piece item. Pru looked at her for a long moment, then 
finally nodded. "I think so. But make sure the ties 
are done up tight. I don't want you flashing all the 
boys on the beach."

Lila giggled. "You think they'd notice? I mean... I 
just look like a boy."

"Maybe on top," Connie said, shutting her paper. "But 
not down below, and that's where they'll be looking."

"Connie," Pru said, glaring.

"It's okay, Mom," Lila said. "I know what boys want 
to see." She grinned at Lars. "I won't put on a show, 
I promise."

"If she can wear her new suit, I guess we can too," 
Amber said.

Pru sighed. "Okay. But remember what I said."

Amber and Connie had both got bikinis that showed off 
their figures to perfection. Lars hadn't actually 
seen them wearing the suits yet and looked forward to 
the display. He hoped his reaction wouldn't be too 
obvious. He'd already seen Jessie in her bikini and 
thought she looked gorgeous.

Lars and Jessie sat in the van's rear seat, with 
Amber and Connie in the middle and Lila riding beside 
Pru in the front. Jessie kept pushing her hand 
between his legs and giggling when he tried to shove 
her away. The girls had put on shorts and T-shirts 
over their swimsuits, so he still didn't know what 
they looked like. Jessie's attentions though were 
keeping him aroused. He tried to return the favour, 
dipping his hand into her crotch, but she kept her 
legs firmly clamped together.

When they got to the beach, Pru made everyone help to 
take their stuff down to the sand. She'd brought a 
cooler with drinks and some food along, and there 
were several blankets and umbrellas to lug along, as 
well as collapsible lounge chairs.

"Woof!" Lila gasped when they had everything 
together. "Now I need to have a swim to cool off." 
She yanked her shirt off and stepped out of her 
shorts. She made a beeline for the water and dove in. 
Lars glanced around and noticed several boys and a 
few men following her progress. He felt a bit 
apprehensive and hoped she wouldn't get into any 
trouble. It was a public beach, but you never knew.

Amber and Connie were a little slower taking their 
outer clothes off. Lars gave a low whistle when he 
saw Amber. Her bikini was a light green colour. The 
bra hugged her firm breasts while the bottom seemed 
to be moulded to her pussy. The camel toe so formed 
made his cock jump.

Connie's was much the same. Though he'd never seen 
her naked, he could imagine her plump breasts 
uncovered. Her bottom wasn't as snug as Amber's, but 
he could see some dark pubic hair peeking out around 
the edges.

When he turned to Jessie, he gasped. Her bikini 
seemed a little too small in the open air. Though 
he'd seen her model it before, here on the beach it 
just seemed to have shrunk. The bra barely covered 
her small breasts and the bottom looked inadequate to 
cover her plump mound. 

He shook his head and looked around. The girls 
attracted a lot of attention, he saw. Though there 
were lots of other girls on the sand, the newcomers 
received more than their fair share of stares from 
men and boys alike, and several females as well, he 
noticed.

He chased Jessie into the water as fast as he could, 
hoping nobody would notice his bulging trunks. The 
cool water helped to cool him down and he swam with 
her for several feet.

When she stopped to tread water, he paused at her 
side. She grinned at him. "I bet you have a hard on."

"Not now," he said, shaking water out of his eyes. 
"But man, on the beach... you guys are just so sexy. 
Everyone was looking at you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. You gotta be careful or you'll be hit on by 
some of them."

"Jealous?"

"No. Scared."

"Oh, pooh. What could happen with you and Mom and all 
the other people around? Besides, I only sleep with 
you, you know that."

"I wasn't thinking of what you might do willingly. 
More about what someone might do to you without you 
wanting them to."

"Oh" She looked around. "You think something might 
happen with all these people looking on?"

"I don't know. I hope not. Just be careful."

After a while, Lars felt more comfortable and went 
back to shore. He sprawled on one of the blankets and 
let a soft breeze dry him off. Pru was sitting on 
another blanket. He hadn't paid much attention to her 
before, but he now noticed she wore a bikini just as 
brief as his sisters. It was black and the triangles 
over her heavy breasts were so narrow as to barely 
cover her nipples and areolas. The bottom was equally 
scanty, though he couldn't see where the material 
went between her tanned legs. He didn't know his 
mother was so sexy. 

He jerked his attention back to the ocean. Amber and 
Connie were talking to some boys, laughing and 
tossing their heads around. Lila and Jessie seemed to 
be racing each other parallel to the shore and 
ignoring everyone else. 

He was about to go back in the water and join the 
older girls when Connie headed back in. She paused at 
the edge of the water and strained some of the water 
out of her hair, then sluiced the drops off her skin.

When she started towards him, she sauntered, making 
her journey sexy and alluring. He gasped, suddenly 
realizing he'd been holding his breath.

She dropped down beside him and sighed. "That was 
refreshing. We ought to come to the beach more 
often," she said, stretching her arms out behind her 
and leaning back, one leg raised. Her nipples were 
pushing the front of her bra out.

"Yes," Pru said. "Before the summer is over." She 
chuckled. "You seem to have made some conquests."

Connie shook her head. "Nah. They're just flirting. 
Nobody I'd want to get to know."

"No?"

"Mom. Really."

Pru laughed again. "I have too many sexy little girls 
in my family. I know you all make boys nervous, dear. 
Just ask Lars."

Lars felt his cheeks get warm.

Connie turned to him. "Is that right?"

"Um... yeah. Sorry."

"Isn't Jessie enough for you?"

"Yeah. But Mom's right. You're all pretty sexy."

Connie blushed. "I never thought of myself as sexy."

"Well, you are. Right, Mom?"

Pru nodded. "Yes. I know how hard it is for you keep 
your attention only on Jessie. I don't know if I've 
been blessed or cursed with beautiful daughters. Not 
to mention a handsome son."

"Mom!'

"Well," Connie said. "She's right. You look a hundred 
percent better than a lot of the guys here who think 
they're studs."

"That's true," Amber said as she joined them. Lars 
hadn't seen her coming. She flopped down at his side 
and squeezed his leg. "You gotta be careful or you'll 
be a babe target."

"Oh, shut up," he muttered.

"Now you're embarrassing him," Pru said. "Ease up on 
your brother. He's the only one you've got and you 
need to be nice to him."

"Well, we are being nice to him," Amber said, 
giggling. "At least, I am."

"Not to mention Jessie," Connie said. "But I think 
we're all pretty nice to you. Just in different 
ways."

Jessie and Lila came scampering up the beach. "I'm 
hungry," Lila shouted.

"What, already?" Pru said.

"Yeah. All that swimming works up an appetite," 
Jessie said. She knelt beside the cooler and popped 
it open. "Here, sis. Have a sandwich." She pulled out 
a plastic bag and tossed it over, and then got one 
for herself. "The water's nice, but I think I'm gonna 
get some rays. Lars, would you put some sunscreen on 
me?" She dug out a bottle from one of the bags.

"You all better have some," Pru said. "Otherwise 
you'll get some nasty burns."

Connie giggled. "Then we're going to be keeping Lars 
busy all afternoon."

"You'd better have some, too, Mom," Amber said.

By the time Lars finished spreading lotion on all 
five females, he had an erection he couldn't hide. 
Jessie patted the blanket beside her and said, "Now 
it's your turn. You can burn just as much as we can." 
She took the bottle and began working it into his 
back and thighs. When she pushed his legs apart, her 
fingers touched his scrotum through his suit and he 
jerked. She leaned over him and whispered, "Sorry. 
Are you...?"

"Yes," he hissed. "Stop it."

"Or?"

"Or I'll come in pants," he whispered.

"Would that be so bad?" she murmured. "It won't show 
much on those black trunks, and you can go in the 
water to cool off."'

He groaned. "Jessieee."

He looked around frantically. Pru had her book spread 
over her face. Amber was on her stomach, head cradled 
in her arms. Connie seemed to be asleep. Only Lila 
was watching them, a grin spread over her face. 
Jessie reached between his legs again and squeezed 
his cock,

"Nice and hard," she murmured. She keep squeezing, or 
running her fingertips up and down his crotch. He 
hunched his abdomen up a little to ease the pressure. 
She wormed a finger inside his suit and tickled the 
knob. He grunted and erupted hard, then, gasping 
collapsed on the blanket. Jessie snuggled against his 
side. "Did you enjoy that?"

"No," he groaned. "Not here."

She caressed his back. "Sorry. I just couldn't 
resist. Only now I'm all horny."

He rolled onto his side. "So?"

"So now you can return the favour."

He looked around wildly. "What? Here. In public?"

She giggled. "If nobody noticed what I did, I don't 
think you have to worry." She pressed against him and 
pulled his hand between her legs. "Just rub there and 
I'll come in about two seconds."

"Now I'm all worked up," Connie muttered, as Jessie 
floated down from her orgasm.

"Uh... I think I'm gonna go cool off," Lars said. He 
jumped to his feet and ran into the water, hoping 
nobody would notice his stained trunks.

He was treading water a few minutes later, when 
Connie swam up beside him.

"I meant it when I said I was all worked up," she 
said, bumping against him in the waves.

"So?"

"So maybe you can help."

"Oh."

She pressed against him. "If you pull my suit down 
and yours, you could fuck me right here."

"Connie," he gasped.

"Hey. If you can fuck Jessie and Lila and Amber, you 
can fuck me too. I get just as horny as they do."

"I... don't... fuck Lila," he moaned as she pressed 
against him.

"No? Well, I know she sleeps with you. Come on," She 
grabbed a hand and placed on her breast. Then she 
reached down and squeezed him through his trunks. "I 
haven't had any sex all summer either. I just haven't 
been letting it get to me like Amber did."

"How do you know about..."

"I'm not stupid. I could see how you two looked when 
you came downstairs. I haven't seen Amber look like 
that since her last date with Harry. Now... please."

"But everyone's watching."

"Think so? How many people saw what Jessie just did?"

"Uh..." Lars could feel his cock stretching out as 
Connie squeezed.

He looked around. Nobody seemed the least interested 
in them. He touched the front of her bikini bottom. 
She made a little moaning sound. He traced the edge 
into her crotch. She spread her legs apart in 
welcome. He could feel the heat. He wiggled a finger 
inside and touched the swollen labia. She sighed. He 
found the top of the triangle and pushed it down 
around her knees. She made a little 'ooo' sound and 
grinned, licking her lips. He backed away a little 
and struggled to get his cock out, then pulled her 
back.

Connie lifted herself and spread her thighs, letting 
his cock slip into her crotch. She pushed it into her 
cunt. He pushed it further inside. She moaned. He 
began thrusting. It was awkward, floating in the 
ocean, but the heat of her cunt and the cool water 
surging back and forth between them was such an 
erotic sensation that he was soon on the verge of 
coming.

Connie had her lower lip clamped between her teeth. 
All he could do now was thrust and hope it would be 
okay for her. He sped up. She gave a little squeal 
and he felt her cunt grip tightly as her body 
squirmed against him. He shot his load. 

"Oh, wow," she sighed after a minute. His cock 
slithered out to hang limp in the cooling water. "Now 
I know why Jessie sleeps with you. That was soooo 
good."

"Really? I didn't think it would be all that good 
like this."

"No, it was good." She drifted back a bit and tried 
to wriggle her bottom back into place. "I think it 
was because of where we did it." She looked around 
and laughed. "Right in the middle of hundreds of 
people and nobody noticed. And the feel of the water 
between my legs... shit, that was something else."

Lars tried to work his cock back inside his trunks. 
At least the seawater would rinse it clean, he 
thought and having wet trunks when they got back to 
land wouldn't be anything unusual. He wasn't sure if 
he could walk back to their blankets though, not 
feeling so enervated.

Connie floated a little way off. "You okay?"

"Uh, yeah. Yeah. I guess so."

She grinned at him. "You sure made my day."

"Oh. That's good. I... um... kinda enjoyed it. 
Unusual way to do it. I've never done it anywhere but 
in bed."

"You can do me in bed anytime, bro. Anytime at all." 
She floated on her back, smiling. "If you can get 
away from Jessie, anyway."

"We've never done it during the day."

"Well, then. Come see me some time. My door will 
always be open for you." She turned over and began 
swimming towards shore.

Lars watched her go, treading water. He still felt 
kind of shaky. Coming twice so close together wasn't 
all that unusual for him. But with two different 
girls, in two different places... well... he didn't 
know what to think. He just felt so tired. He saw 
Connie reach shore and walk back to the family. She 
sat down beside Amber and began drying her hair. 
After a moment, Jessie got up and headed his way.

She grinned at him when she reached his side. "So, 
you okay?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Of course."

"You look beat."

"Ah."

"I'm not surprised. You want help getting back in?"

"Um..."

"Connie told me," Jessie said. "It's okay. I'm not 
mad at you. Or her. It's just like with Amber. I know 
how horny she is. Or was." She giggled. "I guess 
we're wearing you out."

"Well... I am a little pooped."

"Come on, then. You can lean on me when we get to the 
beach."

They must have made a cute looking pair as they 
staggered up to the blanket. Lars caught himself 
laughing as Jessie wrapped her arm around his waist 
and tugged him along. He circled her neck with one 
arm and let it dangle over her breast. She felt warm 
and soft moving against his body, and he worried he'd 
be getting hard again. But they reached the blankets 
before that happened and he sank down gratefully.

He was dozing when Lila shook him gently. "Hey," she 
said. "Want something to eat? Mom's gone to get some 
ice cream, and there's still some sandwiches and 
potato salad."

"Oh," he grunted, and sat up. "Sorry. Must have 
fallen asleep. Where is everyone?" he asked, glancing 
around. Only Lila was with him.

"Amber and Connie went with Mom. I think Jessie went 
to the bathroom." She grinned at him. "I've been 
talking to that cute blonde girl over there. I think 
she likes me."

Lars looked over at the little blonde, who smiled 
shyly. Lila waved her over. "Alice, this is my 
brother, Larson. This is Alice. She only lives a 
couple of blocks from us. She just moved in and 
she'll be in my class at school."

Alice wore a black one-piece suit that must have been 
from the year before, it was so tight. Her eyes were 
big and brown and, when she smiled, dimples formed 
either side of her wide mouth. She blushed as Lars 
looked her up and down. He held out his hand.

She hesitated. "It's okay," Lila said. "He doesn't 
bite. Not hard, anyway."

Alice giggled nervously and let him hold her hand for 
a moment before snatching it back.




CHAPTER SIX: BACK TO SCHOOL

School day mornings were always a rush. With the four 
girls all wanting bathroom time, even with the three 
bathrooms, it was a hectic time. The day after Labour 
Day, Jessie sat up in bed and sighed.

"I guess this is the last morning we're gonna have 
together for a while," she said, resting a hand on 
Lars's chest.

"Yeah. I know... let's use the bathroom together. If 
we hurry, we can beat Lila to it."

Amber and Connie would probably be wrestling each 
other for the downstairs bathroom, if they didn't 
argue Mom and Dad into letting one of them use the en 
suite off the master bedroom.

They scrambled out of bed and dashed across the hall 
to the bathroom, and found it unoccupied.

"Get the shower going while I have a pee," Jessie 
said. "You can pee in the tub," she added, giggling.

They'd shared showers all summer, so this wasn't 
anything unusual.

Lila wandered in just as they stepped out of the tub. 
She yawned. "Morning. I hate getting up so early. 
Lemme get in there. I hope you guys didn't use up all 
the hot water."

"It was still okay when I turned it off," Jessie 
said. She picked up a towel and started drying her 
chest. "I'm gonna go get dried in our room and get 
dressed." She leaned up to Lars and kissed his cheek. 
"See you downstairs."

"Did you guys fuck in the tub?" Lila asked as she 
pulled the shower curtain across.

"No," Lars said. "We only did it last night. Why?"

"Oh, just being nosy. I bet you'll be real horny when 
you come home, seeing all those sexy girls again. 
You'll have to fuck her then, I bet."

"Lila, stop it. That's not the only thing we do 
together."

"Oh. Well, I bet it's the most fun thing. I mean, I 
like it when I sleep with you, even if we don't 
fuck." There was a long pause as she ducked her head 
under the steaming water. Lars was ready to leave the 
bathroom, when she added, "I think I'm gonna like 
seeing all those sexy girls at school, too."

"What do you mean?" he asked, with one hand on the 
doorknob.

"Oh... you know. I... I... I think I like looking at 
sexy girls, for some reason."

"Oh. I see. Well, see you downstairs."

*

Lars had just located his new locker when someone 
thumped him in the shoulder. He spun around ready to 
fight, and then grinned.

"Hoby! Where the hell you been all summer?"

His friend grinned back. "In Europe. Remember the 
last day we saw each other, and I had to go home? Mom 
and Dad told us then we were going to Europe to visit 
all our relatives. We spent most of July in England, 
and then our aunt and uncle took us through Germany 
and France." He leaned closer. "Guess what?"

"Uh, what?"

"I got laid."

"Really?" Lars grinned back. He'd been having so much 
sex himself he didn't find it too exciting, but he 
figured it must have been a special first for Hoby.

"Yeah. And you'll never guess who it was."

"Probably not."

"Come on. I'll tell you all about it, where there 
aren't so many big ears."

Hoby led the way outside and under a shady tree at 
the edge of the school grounds.

"Want to guess?" he said.

Lars shook his head.

"Well... you know I like to wear Monica's panties? 
Well, she found out somehow and started teasing me 
and we started fooling around and... well... somehow 
we ended up half naked. I'd gotten her pants pulled 
down, and she had one of those tiny thong things on, 
and I tried to pull them off, and she had a hand up 
inside my shorts and had hold of my cock." He stopped 
for breath. "I was getting hard. She suddenly stopped 
struggling when I got my hand between her legs. Man, 
was she wet. She leaned back, looked me in the eye, 
and said let's go to bed. Ooooh, man. I never knew 
what it could be like. It's a good thing our parents 
were out late at the casino. I think we fucked four 
times that time."

"Wow," Lars said. "So... it sounds like you've done 
it more than once, then."

"Oh, yeah. Every chance we got. She said, since she 
couldn't have her boyfriend, she'd have me." He 
suddenly looked sad. "I guess, now we're back, that's 
the end of it."

Lars laughed. "You'll just have to get yourself a 
girlfriend then."

"Yeah. I suppose so." Hoby glanced around. "I wonder 
if Meredith is available? She was going around with 
Jock before the end of school. I'd love to get into 
her pants."

"I thought you were interested in Andi."

"Oh, yeah, I suppose so. But Meredith has such nice 
big boobs. Sort of like Monica, you know?"

"Well, now's your chance. There she is," Lars said, 
pointing across the schoolyard. Meredith was walking 
towards them with Andi. Lars wondered where Andi had 
been all summer. He hadn't seen her since she'd run 
out of the café.

"Hi," Andi said. She directed the greeting at both 
boys, but her eyes lingered on Lars.

"Hello," Hoby said. "How are you guys?" His eyes 
rested on Meredith's impressive chest for a moment 
before he looked at her face.

"Oh, just fine," Meredith said. "Did you have a good 
summer? Unlike Andi, here."

"What happened to you?" Lars asked.

"Remember when I ran away from you at that café? It 
wasn't because I was mad at you. I had sudden severe 
pain in my guts. I barely made it home before I 
passed out. They rushed me to the hospital, but not 
before my appendix burst. I was there for a couple of 
weeks, and then I had to rest up at home for a while. 
Then we went away for a month to our summer cottage. 
I'm really only starting to feel like myself now."

"Oh, wow. So you're okay now?"

She smiled at him. "I think so."

"And what did you do for excitement?" Hoby asked 
Meredith.

"Nothing much," she said. "We spent most of the 
summer at my grandparent's farm. If you want to know 
all about how to breed cattle or horses, or how to 
ride, I can tell you." She made a face. "Not much 
fun, really."

"Oh, I don't know," Hoby said. "I've always been 
interested in animals. Where's the farm?"

Meredith glanced at the watch on her slim wrist. "I 
have to go. If you want to go with me, I'll tell you 
all about it."

"Sure." They walked off together.

"So," Lars said. "Would you like to risk having 
another drink with me?"

"Yes," Andi laughed. "And I promise not to run away 
from you this time."

This time, Andi sat beside him instead of across the 
table. He felt the warmth of her thigh against his. 
When their order arrived, she smiled and said, 
"thanks."

After taking a sip, she put the glass down and gazed 
at the table for a long moment. Then she sighed and 
started speaking.

"All that time in the hospital, I was feeling so 
embarrassed, having run away from you like that. 
Without even trying to explain. It's just that the 
pain was so excruciating, so sudden, that I couldn't 
think of anything else." She touched his hand. "I 
hope you'll forgive me."

"Not a problem," Lars said. "I'm just glad you're 
okay." After a moment, he added, "And I'm glad you're 
here, with me."

She gave him a watery smile. He thought he saw tears 
start to form. "Oh," she whispered. "Oh. Uh... 
Really?"

"Yes," he said, squeezing her hand. "Really."

Andi took another sip from the glass. She stared out 
the window. She brushed at her brimming eyes. When 
she sucked in a quick breath, it sounded more like a 
sob to Lars. She looked back at the table and took 
another deep breath.

"So," she said slowly. "How was your summer?"

"Oh. Ah. Well..."

"What?"

He wasn't entirely sure what to say. The truth would 
be unthinkable. He hesitated. The solution finally 
came when he said, "I've been sort of taking care of 
my little sisters."

"Oh. That would be, what, Jessie and Lila?"

Lars felt surprised she'd know their names, let alone 
that there were two of them.

"Yeah. That's right."

"Jessie is the older one, right? The cute one."

"Ah, yeah. But Lila's okay, too."

"Just not very old yet. What are they like?" she 
sighed. "I wish I had a sister instead of brothers. I 
don't know what that's like, to have a sister to 
share with."

"Well, sometimes it's a bit of a pain. I mean, there 
are four others who are older than me. I guess I 
spend more time with Jessie." (And how, he thought, 
especially in bed.) "She's the smart one. She knows 
all about plants and things and she's pretty good at 
science stuff. Quite, ah, athletic, too."

An understatement if ever there was one. "So, what 
did you do at the cottage?" he asked.

"Oh," she laughed. "Mostly just sat around in the 
sun, or went swimming or canoeing. I read a lot of 
books and got a good tan."

He smiled. "I can see the tan. I guess the books 
don't show."

She giggled. ."Most of the tan doesn't, either. Not 
when I'm dressed anyway." She covered her mouth and 
laughed, her face blushing.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

She shook her head. "Nothing. Nothing."

"Ah, come on. You can tell me. I won't say anything 
to anyone."

She looked at him for a long time, then leaned over 
and whispered, "We sunbathed nude. It's an all-over 
tan." Then she leaned away and laughed again. "Shock 
you?"

"Shock? No. Intrigued, yes."

"Intrigued?"

"Yeah. Like, I'd love to see an all-over tan."

The blushed deepened. "I don't think that's too 
likely to happen."

"Oh."

"I mean... well... I mean, we hardly know each 
other."

"That's true. But I'd like to know you better." 
Especially if Jessie lands a real boyfriend, he 
thought.

Coincidentally, the café door opened and Jessie 
walked in trailed by Lila and a couple of boys.

"Hi, Lars," she called. Lila waved.

"Oh, ah, hi," Lars said. He felt his cheeks getting 
warm. "Um... Jessie, this Andi Harrison. Andi, these 
are my sisters, Jessie and Lila."

The girls grinned and said hello. Jessie stood back 
and pulled the boys forward. "This is Randy Bigger 
and this is Taylor Pohl."

The boys nodded nervously. Randy looked to be the 
same age as Jessie, while Taylor looked a little 
older.

"They're gonna buy us some drinks," Jessie added. 
"Come on, guys. Let's sit over there."

"She is cute, isn't she?" Andi murmured when the 
quartet had retreated. "I bet the boys fall all over 
themselves around her. She's going to be a 
heartbreaker someday."

"You think so?" Lars said. "I hope not. She seems 
pretty stable to me. Not a trifler. Loyal, if you 
know what I mean."

"Um. Okay. Time will tell. What about Lila? She's 
very pretty, in a different way."

"I think she takes after our Mom more than Jessie. 
She's... kind of different. It's hard to explain." To 
someone whom he didn't know that well, anyway. How 
could you explain a sister that liked to be made love 
to, but didn't like sex?

Andi finished her drink and glanced at her watch. "I 
guess I'd better get going. I promised my mother I'd 
be home in plenty of time to do any shopping we need 
to do for school."

"Oh. Okay. Can... can I see you again?"

"Sure," she said, smiling broadly. "I'd like that. In 
fact, you can walk me home if you want to."

Lars waved to his sisters as he followed Andi 
outside. He wasn't sure if either of them noticed. 
Only Randy seemed to cast an eye on them for a 
moment.

Lars wasn't sure if it was an accident or done on 
purpose, but as he walked beside Andi her hand 
touched his, and then seemed to fall into his grasp 
as though it was intentional. He glanced at her and 
saw her smiling. She almost seemed to be skipping as 
they walked along, and the joy transmitted itself to 
him. He swung her arm back and forth and she laughed.

*

Much later, as he got into bed, the touch of Andi's 
hand and the vibrancy of her personality stayed with 
him. He couldn't believe the way she'd made him feel 
on that short walk to her house, and then she'd 
actually brushed his cheek with her lips as they 
parted. He'd stood rooted to the spot until she 
opened the front door of her house, turned, and waved 
to him before going inside.

The whole episode made him feel horny. He hoped 
Jessie was in the mood because he already had an 
erection that was almost painful. He'd been there for 
quite a while, wondering where she was, when the door 
opened and Lila slipped in.

"Oh," he said. "Is it period time again, already?"

Lila giggled. "No. But she made me come to sleep with 
you anyway. She has the hots for Randy and she says 
she's gotta save herself for him." She climbed into 
bed and sighed.

"That was quick. They only just met today."

"Oh, no. Not really. They know each other from last 
year. It's just that she didn't... you know. I guess 
she didn't really know how she felt about him. Are 
you okay? With it? I mean, now you won't have a 
girlfriend anymore." She paused, resting her head on 
his shoulder. "Or is that Andi going to be your 
girlfriend?"

He caressed her smooth bare back and sighed. "Oh, I 
hope so. I really like her. I think she likes me."

"I can see how much you like her," Lila said, 
giggling. She had taken hold of his throbbing cock 
and brushed her thumb over the tip.

"Yeah. I was really hoping Jessie would be in the 
mood tonight."

After a moment, Lila squeezed his cock, then sat up 
and swung her legs over his thighs. "Maybe, just this 
once, I can help you," she said. She positioned him 
in her crotch and slowly lowered her cunt onto his 
erection.

"You don't have to do this," he gasped as the knob 
made contact with the heat of her labia.

"I know," she said, catching her lower lip in her 
teeth. "But... sometimes... I... think... I need... 
to... try it again." She gasped. "There." She held 
her body stiff, resting her hands on his waist. 
Slowly, she began moving back and forth, breath 
jerking as she moved. Her cunt was very tight and not 
very wet. It wasn't comfortable for Lars, and he 
didn't see how it could be good for her. But she 
persisted and he was so horny he knew he'd be 
dribbling pre-cum. That would help, a little.

"Gonna come," he whispered after several minutes. He 
couldn't help thrusting up into her. She grunted and 
he felt her already snug cunt clamp down. He fired, 
again and again. She was full to overflowing, the 
sperm leaking out around his softening cock and 
running down between his legs, coating his balls and 
crotch. She collapsed on top of him, sobbing.

"Oh, Lars," she groaned. "I'm so sorry. It... it... 
it just doesn't work for me."

"It's okay, sweetie," he said, stroking her back. 
"It's okay. Just relax. As soon as I get my breath 
back, I'll clean you up and then make love to you, if 
you want me to."

She shook her head. "No. Just... just hold me for a 
while."

Lars and Lila never had intercourse again, though she 
came to his bed many times in the ensuing years. But 
not as a sex partner, merely two loving siblings. She 
liked to be made love to, and willingly took him to 
climax, but never the other, so painful, way.

Two years later, when she introduced Lars to a new 
friend, he wasn't surprised. The girl's name was 
Wendy. She was the very image of a pink little girl, 
and Lars was surprised at Lila's choice. The match 
didn't last long, though. Wendy was cute and fluffy, 
but she proved to be totally self-absorbed and only 
wanted to get what ever Lila was giving, without 
giving anything back. Lila cried in Lars's arms the 
night she called it quits.

There were a couple more girls passed through Lila's 
life after that. Lars wasn't sure if the rest of the 
family was aware the youngest girl in the family was 
gay. They always treated her the same way they'd 
always done, and if they wondered at a lack of 
boyfriend, nobody said anything.

*

On the Friday of that first week back at school, when 
Lars went to bed he expected Lila would be joining 
him. Instead, he found Jessie waiting for him.

"What's going on?" he asked as he undressed.

Jessie sighed. "I've been going around with Randy all 
week and I'm so horny I can't sit still. I need a 
good fuck."

"Why don't you do it with him, then?" he said, 
getting in beside her.

"'Coz he hasn't made the move yet, and I don't want 
to scare him off. Come on, do me, quick."

She really was incredibly horny, he realized. When he 
mounted her, she came almost instantly, and then 
again when he climaxed. She kept him clamped between 
hers legs, breathing hard. After a moment, she 
gasped, "Again."

He chuckled. "You got let me recover, first."

"Just... just make me come, then," she said, pushing 
him off.

He knelt between her wet thighs and bent his mouth to 
her drooling cunt. Her clit was bigger than he'd ever 
seen it, and she came almost as soon as he sucked it 
between his lips. She squealed and her body writhed 
under him as the third orgasm swept through.

"Oh, my god," she gasped. "Again. Again!"

After the fifth time, he was well engorged himself 
and fucked her slow and gentle, which finally sated 
her.

"Oh, god, Lars," she sobbed, clinging to him. "I've 
never felt this way, not even when we first started. 
I don't believe it." She kissed him passionately. "I 
hope Randy comes through soon, or I'll be wearing you 
out every night from now on."

He chuckled and kissed her back. "I think I know how 
you feel. I've been thinking a lot about Andi."

"Oh, yeah. Andi. She's gorgeous, isn't she? I hope 
you can take her soon. I really do. But I hope you 
won't forget me, either."

"Never. How could I? We'll be living together for a 
long time yet."

"Will you mind? Really? I mean, if I start going with 
Randy? I won't, if you don't want me to."

"No, that's okay. You really should be getting a real 
boyfriend. I mean, besides me. I guess it's not 
normal, what we've been doing."

"Oh, I don't care about that. I love you and I love 
how you make love to me and that's all that's 
important to me."

He sighed and caressed her sweaty back. "I love you 
too, sweetheart. But it'll be okay if you decide to 
be with someone else."

She sighed and snuggled against his side. "Thanks. I 
love you."

Lars continued to see a lot of Andi. They walked home 
together almost every day, and frequently stopped for 
a drink or something to eat on the way. As Hallowe'en 
came near, Andi asked him if he was going to go to 
the school party.

"Oh, yeah. I guess so," he said.

"In costume?"

"Well, I don't know. I hadn't really thought about 
it."

"Why don't we make our own costumes? That way we can 
match."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Let me think about it." She grinned at him. "Maybe 
it'll be something kind of sexy. Would that be okay?"

He smiled at her. "What could be more sexy than what 
you have on right now?"

"Oh." She blushed and looked away. "Don't be silly."

"No, I mean it. You always look sexy to me."

And it wasn't that she tried to look sexy. Today, for 
instance, she was wearing a simple grey wool sweater 
and dark green pants. She had a ribbon holding her 
auburn hair back from her face and tiny green studs 
in her ears. The clothes flattered her figure without 
emphasizing the size of breasts or the width of her 
hips. She wasn't voluptuous anyway, and Lars adored 
the way she looked.

She looked across the table and took his hand in 
hers. "Thank you, Lars. I... well... I... I don't 
know. I'm not trying to be sexy for you."

"That's why you're sexy to me," he said, squeezing 
her hand. The long fingers wrapped around his and 
squeezed back. She sat staring wide-eyed at him for a 
long moment. She licked her lips and smiled again. 
There didn't seem to be any need to say anything 
more.



CHAPTER SEVEN: WEDDINGS AND DISASTERS

With the wedding reception winding down, Lars sank 
down onto a chair at the edge of the hall. He was 
looking forward to consummating his wedding to Andi, 
though that was, strictly speaking, going to be an 
afterthought. They'd consummated their relationship 
years ago, and many times since then. Still, it would 
be the first time they'd been in bed together for a 
couple of weeks.

He spotted Hoby winding through the crowd towards his 
table. Behind Hoby came a very pregnant Monica, with 
a little girl in tow, and Hoby's wife, Tanya, also 
very pregnant.

"Hey, bro, how's it going?" Lars said.

Hoby grinned and sat down. The two women sat beside 
him and Monica pulled the little girl into her lap. 
It was an awkward fit.

"Great," Hoby said. "I'm glad I got back in time to 
come. These long trips with all their delays really 
are getting to me." He squeezed Tanya's hand.

"Me, too," she sighed. "It's pretty hard being alone 
all the time, with this," she rubbed her swollen 
belly.

"You could always get a different job," Monica 
pointed out.

"Yeah, I know. But would it pay enough to take care 
of everything?"

"Oh, I'm sure we could cope," Tanya said, grinning at 
Monica.

"Once you pop, you can go back to work," Monica said.

"If you really want to," Hoby said.

"Hey, I liked my job," Tanya said. "But I think I'll 
stay home for a while anyway. I want to know what 
it's like being a full-time mom."

"It's not all fun and games," Monica said. "Just ask 
me."

"Mommy," the little girl said.

"Yes, Lou?"

"I gotta go pee."

"Oh, well, then. We better find a bathroom, right?"

"Yeah." She hopped down and grabbed Monica's hand to 
pull her to her feet.

"See you later, Louise," Lars said.

Hoby watched them walk off and sighed. "I think my 
sister looks so sexy when she's pregnant."

Tanya punched his shoulder. "How about me, then?"

He grinned and pulled her onto his lap to kiss her. 
"You, too, my love. Even better when you're naked and 
pregnant."

Tanya stuck her tongue out at him. "If that's so 
important, why are we still here, all dressed?"

"Well, not quite all dressed," he murmured, running a 
hand up under her skirt. She wriggled and spread her 
legs apart.

"You be careful. You'll be giving Lars ideas," she 
giggled.

"He doesn't need me to give him ideas." He kissed her 
while moving his hand around. She squirmed and 
clamped her legs tight.

"Take me home," she gasped. "Now."

Monica and Louise came back shortly after they left. 
"They went home," Lars said.

"Oh. Damn. I wonder if they left me the keys to the 
car?"

Lars shrugged. "I don't know. They seemed to be in a 
hurry. Do you need a lift?"

"No, it's okay. We booked a room here anyway. I 
wasn't planning to go home tonight."

"Are you okay? With everything?"

Monica smiled. "Yes. There are a few problems, but 
nothing important. He's a good father, a good 
provider. I just wish..."

"What?"

She sighed. "I wish Mom and Dad would come around 
once in a while. Even if just to see if Louise is 
okay." She hugged the little girl, who yawned. 
"Sleepy, honey?"

"No." Louise yawned again and rubbed her eyes.

Monica grinned at Lars. "I think maybe we'll both go 
to bed. Good night."

Lars glanced around the hall and found his new wife, 
Andi, talking to Elaine and her husband and smiled to 
himself. Elaine, six months pregnant, still looked 
ravishingly beautiful, but compared to Andi, he 
thought, she couldn't compare. Andi was certainly 
more agile in bed...

Lila blocked his view.

"Hi," she said. Another young woman was just in back 
of her, looking apprehensive.

"Hi," he said. "What's up?"

"Um," she turned to the other woman. "This is my 
friend Keesha. We're... we're going to get married."

He stared at his sister for a long moment, then stood 
up, extending his hand to the pretty brown-skinned 
woman.

"I see,' he said. "When?"

Lila sagged in relief. "As soon as the registry 
office opens on Monday. You're not upset or angry or 
anything?"

He shook his head. "No, sweetie. I've known about 
your preference for a long time now, haven't I?"

Keesha retrieved her hand and wrapped an arm around 
Lila's waist. "We love each other. I..."

Lars shook his head. "No, no, no need to make 
explanations. I know Lila is gay. I've known for 
years. I'm glad she's found someone to share her life 
with."

Lila sucked in a deep breath. "That's not all, 
though."

"Oh?"

"We... we want to have a baby."

"Oh?"

They looked back and forth at each other. "We want to 
have a baby," Lila repeated. "But... you need a man 
to make a baby."

"Yes, I know," he said, laughing. "Or there's 
artificial insemination."

Keesha shuddered. "Never!"

Lila grabbed his hand. "We... we want you to be the 
dad."

"Oh. Ah, yes, well... And who is going to be the 
mother? You..."

"You know how I feel about sex," Lila said. "So..."

"So I'll be the mother," Keesha said. "I guess I'm 
bi. I like all kinds of sex. I just prefer doing it 
with a woman. But like she says, we want a baby, and 
we want you to be the dad."

"But, I just got married," he protested. "I can't 
give up Andi just like that."

"We don't expect you to," Lila said. "You have to go 
on your honeymoon, and then get settled when you get 
back. So do we. Will you do it? We'll make a date 
later. Please." She squeezed his hand and looked 
imploringly at him. "You know I love you and you love 
me. If you can love me, can't you love my partner?"

"That's kind of putting me on the spot," Lars said, 
spotting Andi walking towards them. "Can... can I at 
least think it over?"

"Sure," Lila said. "Hi, Andi. Andi, this is Keesha. 
We're going to get married."

Andi stared at them open-mouthed for a moment, then 
laughed. "Well, good for you. Keesha, I'm pleased to 
meet you. I'm sure you'll be very happy together." 
She slipped an arm around Lars's waist. "Just like 
we'll be."

"I guess we better go and tell Mom and Dad," Lila 
said, easing away from them. "Come on, love."

Andi watched them walk away, then dropped down onto 
Lars's lap. She wound her arms around his neck and 
kissed him.

"That was a surprise," she murmured. He returned the 
kiss, sliding his tongue between her lips. He groped 
under her skirt and fingered her pussy, glad there 
were no panties in the way. He'd helped her out of 
them after the ceremony and stuffed them in his 
jacket pocket. She wriggled in pleasure. "Mmmm, 
that's nice. I hope we get away soon so you can put 
something else in there."

He drove a finger deep inside and made fucking 
motions with his hand. She gasped. "Keep that up and 
I'm gonna come right here."

He chuckled. "That's just a taste, sweetheart. Just a 
small taste."

"I can't wait," she moaned.

They looked up as a shriek sounded over the hubbub 
echoing through the hall. Lars searched the room 
until he found Prudence clutching Lila in her arms, 
dancing around in a circle. He chuckled. "I guess Mom 
is okay with Lila's choice."

"How will your dad take it?"

"Mmm, probably be okay with it. She'll be the last 
one out of the house. Then he'll have Mom and the 
house all to himself. He's been wanting to make 
changes for years, but with all of us underfoot, he's 
been holding off."

Andi wriggled. "If you don't stop that, I'm gonna 
soil this expensive dress."

He sighed. "Well, then let's get away from here and 
get naked. We'll only soil the sheets then."

"Oh, yes! I'm so damn horny now I'm practically 
coming just thinking about it."

She jumped off his lap and smoothed the skirt down. 
He stood up and grabbed her hand to lead her over to 
where Prudence and Byron were still chattering with 
Lila and Keesha. ("Your fingers are all wet," she 
whispered.) All the other girls were slowly moving in 
on the foursome, wondering what was going on. Amber 
was waddling on the arm of Ian, one hand supporting 
her distended belly. Connie had little Jasmine slung 
over one shoulder. Lars couldn't see her husband but 
figured he was somewhere nearby. Janey and Elaine 
were homing in the rest of the family, their husbands 
and children in tow. Jessie was the only one of the 
family who couldn't make it, still being stuck in 
Somalia somewhere with her husband.

"Everyone," Prudence shouted. "Lila's getting 
married. Come on!"

Lars and Andi stayed quietly in the background as the 
rest of the family received the news and 
congratulated Lila and Keesha. They all made a fuss 
over the new partner to be, which gladdened Lars's 
heart. He didn't know what the reaction was going to 
be when they all discovered he'd be fathering the 
couple's baby. After a few minutes, he waved their 
goodbyes and escorted his bride away to the hotel's 
bridal suite.


Lars jerked awake with someone pounding on the hotel 
room door. "What the hell?" he muttered. A glance at 
the clock said it was only seven a.m. Andi muttered 
something and rolled over onto her stomach. He shook 
his head to clear the cobwebs. The pounding resumed. 
He staggered barefoot to the door.

"What is it? What's going on? Who's there?"

"Lars! Oh, Lars! Let me in! Let me in!" Lila's 
frantic voice sounded from the other side of the 
door.

He opened up and she staggered into the room. She 
flung herself into his arms. "Lars! It's Keesha! 
She's... she's disappeared. She's gone. I'd don't 
know what to do. She's gone."

"What do you mean, she's gone? What happened?" He 
shoved the door closed and guided his sister to one 
of the room's chairs. She wore an almost transparent 
robe that in other circumstances he would have found 
distracting. It fell open as she sat down, revealing 
her small pink breasts. One of them had a red hickey.

"She... she... she went out to get some ice. After 
we... you know... and I fell asleep. I just woke up a 
little while ago and she's not there. She's gone, 
Lars. Where could she go? Why would she just 
disappear?"

"Whatsa matter?" Andi muttered from the bed, sitting 
up. If he'd been in the mood, Lars would have 
laughed. Andi had a hickey in the same place Lila 
did.

They got the distraught woman settled down. After 
Lars asked a few more questions, he got dressed and 
went down to the floor where Lila and Keesha's room 
was. The ice machine was at the far end of the hall. 
He saw an ice bucket on the floor in front of it, 
leaking cold water. A few minutes later, Andi joined 
him.

"I gave her some aspirin and made her lie down." She 
giggled. "She didn't even notice the mess the bed's 
in." She squeezed his arm. "We sure made the most 
it."

He smiled fondly at her. "Yeah. But now we have to 
find out what happened to Keesha." He pointed to the 
upturned ice bucket. "I wonder if that's hers."

Andi looked around. "If it is, then she must have 
dropped it for some reason. Where could she go from 
here?"

They looked around. Two nearby rooms on either side 
of the hallway sported "Do Not Disturb" signs. The 
ice machine was beside an exit door to the stairway. 
Lars pushed the door open and peered inside. A small 
slipper ornamented with tiny pearls lay on the 
landing.

"That could be hers," Andi said. "She's got real 
small feet."

"So she went downstairs?" Lars said.

"Or up." They looked both ways. "Judging from the way 
the slipper is pointed, I'd say she went down," Andi 
said.

"Yeah. Come on."

The stairwell echoed to their footsteps as they 
descended. At the next floor, Lars looked out into 
the hallway and shrugged. "Even if she came this way, 
how would we know?"

"Look for the other slipper," Andi said. The hallway 
was bare.

At the next floor they hit pay dirt. The other 
slipper was wedged in the doorway. Lars pulled the 
door open and picked the slipper up. It matched 
perfectly. "Now what? If she came down here, where 
did she go?"

"I'd say she didn't go willingly," Andi said. 
"Otherwise, why lose the slippers?"

"Right." Lars stepped into the hallway, Andi close 
behind him. This hallway was identical to the one 
above them. They looked around. The ice machine sat 
beside the door, humming softly. They moved along the 
hall, listening at each door they passed. At the 
fourth door on the left, they heard a sound.

"What was that?" Andi whispered.

Lars put his ear to the door and listened. He heard a 
moan. Then a voice croaked, "Oh, god, help me, 
someone. Please help me."

"Keesha," he called. "Is that you?"

"Lars? Oh god, help me, help me," she wailed.

Lars tried the door. It was locked. A door on the 
other side of the hall opened and a man in a business 
suit stepped out.

"Huh," he grunted. "I've been complaining about those 
people all night. First they quiet down when the desk 
calls, then it picks up again. Been quiet for a while 
now. I guess they've slept it off."

"No," Andi said. "Our friend's in there. I think 
she's been hurt. Can you call down to the desk and 
get them to send someone up to open the door?"

"Hurt, eh? Well, considering the noise they were 
making, I wouldn't be surprised. Just a minute." He 
went back into his room and they heard him talking on 
the phone. A moment later, he came back and said, 
"They're sending someone up. Excuse me, I gotta get 
going." He strode off towards the elevator.

The elevator delivered a man in a security uniform. 
He hurried towards them, brandishing a key card. 
"What seems to be the trouble?" he asked.

"It's our friend. She's in there and she needs help," 
Lars said.

The guard pushed the door open and they ran in behind 
him.

Keesha was sprawled in a chair, her arms and legs 
tied down. Her face was covered with bruises and she 
had split lip that had trickled blood down her chin 
and onto her bare breasts. Her lower body was a mess 
of dried fluids.

"Help me," she croaked.

Keesha had been whisked away in an ambulance, under 
sedation. The policewoman who attended met them all 
in Lars and Andi's room. Lars had called a doctor and 
Lila was also under sedation, but not so deeply that 
she couldn't answer some questions. But basically all 
she could say was that Keesha had gone out of the 
room to get some ice around two a.m. and she fell 
asleep and didn't know anything until she woke up 
around six-thirty.

The hotel provided details on the men who had rented 
the room. Not that it helped any... the credit card 
they used was a stolen one, as was the car they 
arrived in. Surveillance cameras had captured the 
men's images and the police were running checks. The 
science team uncovered lots of evidence, from 
fingerprints to DNA samples.

"We'll get them, don't worry," the cop said.


The hospital room, when they arrived later, was dim 
and shrouded with curtains. The attending nurse 
warned them not to make a lot of noise. Keesha was 
awake, but looked groggy. The same cop from the hotel 
met them there.

"Can you tell me anything about these guys?" 
Constable Wendy Stockton asked.

After making a visible effort to recall something, 
Keesha muttered, "One of them was named Ray. He was 
the one who did it the first time. I think... I think 
the other one was Bob or Bub or something like that. 
He was the big fat guy, the one who kept kicking me."

"Do you remember anything else?" the cop asked.

Keesha blushed and turned her head away. "What? What 
is it?"

She giggled and said, "Ray had a little... you 
know... he could hardly get it up after the first 
time."

"A small penis?"

"Yeah."

"How about the other one?"

"I... I... I don't know. I don't remember. I'm 
sorry."

"Did they say where they were going, afterwards?"

"No. I don't know. I was... unconscious by then, I 
guess."

"All right," Stockton said, putting away her 
notebook. "I think I know what you're feeling. Don't 
be ashamed or guilty about what happened. It's not 
your fault. You did nothing to provoke the attack. 
You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 
I... I had the same thing happen to me when I was 
very young. It will take a while to get over it, to 
put yourself back together. But you will be all 
right. Now, I have to go get to work and track these 
creeps down. I'll be back later to check up on you."

While Stockton was talking to Keesha, Lars and Lila 
were talking to the nurse. The rest of the family 
hovered nearby.

"Most of her physical injuries are superficial," the 
nurse said. "But there are some other ones that are 
bad. I... I don't know for sure... but I don't think 
she'll ever be able to have... intimate relations 
again. She's badly torn up there, and may have 
internal damage to her womb as well."

"You mean... she can't... can't have sex?" Lila 
asked.

"Yes. I don't know what they used on her... but 
there's a lot of bruising and wounds. We won't know 
for sure until the swelling goes down, but..." she 
shrugged. "I'm sorry."

"Thanks," Lila say, tears running down her cheeks. 
"So long as we know. We'll take care of her."

"Has her family been notified? I mean, you don't look 
like you'd be family."

"I... called her parents this morning. They're in San 
Francisco. They'll be here as soon as they can. She's 
my... friend. We live together." Lila hesitated. "We 
were going to get married," she whispered.

"Oh. I see. Well..."

"This changes nothing," Lila snapped. "I love her. 
Nothing changes that."

"No. Of course not."

"Can we go in to see her?" Lars asked, slipping an 
arm around Lila's waist.

"Yes. Just... don't do anything to upset her. Any 
more than she already is."

"What are we going to do?" Lila whispered. "If she 
can't have sex, how can she have a baby?"

"I don't know. I don't think getting pregnant is hard 
to do, what with artificial insemination and all that 
stuff, but giving birth... I don't know."

"Think about it after she's well," Andi said, 
grasping Lila's hand. "That's more important."

"You know about that?" Lila gasped.

"I told her," Lars said.

"Oh."

"It's okay," Andi said. "I was a little shocked at 
first, but then I decided it might be fun to have a 
niece or nephew at the same time I have my own 
child."

Lila squeezed her hand. "I didn't know how I was 
going to explain it to you. Th-thanks."

The two creeps who'd attacked Keesha made good their 
escape, but when the stolen car ran out of gas, they 
discovered the stolen credit card had been cancelled, 
and so they could no longer get fuel, nor buy food 
and lodging. They abandoned the car some miles from 
the hotel and looked around for a new target.

They soon found a silver Honda parked outside an 
apartment building. The window was open and there was 
a flat leatherette bag on the passenger seat. It only 
took Bubba a few seconds to start it up and they 
peeled away in a screech of tires just as the owner 
came out.

Unfortunately for them, the car belonged to a teen-
aged boy who used it for pizza delivery so he could 
buy gas. The tank was almost empty. Fortunately for 
them, the bag held a large hot pizza. When the motor 
sputtered to a standstill, they hopped out with the 
pizza and sauntered into a nearby park to eat it.

In the park, they saw an elderly, well dressed, 
couple strolling along one of the paths. They 
followed along, until the pizza was finished. Then 
they drew closer to the couple. Glancing around, they 
failed to see anyone nearby. Ray pounced, yanking the 
strap of the woman's large purse. She spun around, 
off balance, with a cry of surprise. The man turned 
around and raised his cane.

The blow hit Ray between the eyes and he staggered, 
still clutching the purse strap. Bubba shoved the old 
man, hard, and he fell to the ground. A couple of 
swift kicks put the man out of commission. Meanwhile, 
Ray managed to separate the woman and her purse, 
despite the blood trickling into his eyes. He gave 
her a shove, sending her sprawling atop her husband. 
They turned and ran.

They ran right into a group of teenagers, who had 
seen the whole thing. The melee that ensued left Ray 
unconscious on the ground, and Bubba fleeing for his 
life with a howling mob at his heels. Every one of 
the teens had a cell phone, of course, and the park 
was soon swarming with police.

When it was all over, Ray and Bubba found the cell 
they'd suddenly found themselves in uncomfortably 
claustrophobic. On the other hand, Ray's head had 
been bandaged, the cell was at least warm and dry, 
and they were fed.

On yet another hand, when their pictures appeared on 
the evening news, Keesha was watching.

"That's them," she cried, shuddering. "That's the men 
who attacked me."

"Are you sure?" Wendy Stockton asked. "You're 
positive?"

"Oh, yes," Keesha sobbed.

"Good," Wendy said. She pulled out her phone and made 
a call.

So much for Ray and Bubba. In addition to the theft 
charges, they faced charges of assault and attempted 
murder. "I don't think they'll be bothering anyone 
for a long time," Stockton said, ending her call. 
"Now you can rest easy."



CHAPTER EIGHT: MAKING BABIES

A few months later, Andi had just come out of the 
bathroom for the sixth time that morning when the 
phone rang. She waddled over to it and answered.

"Oh, hi," Lila said. "Um... is Lars home?"

"No. He's at work. Why?"

Lila's sigh rushed down the line. After a moment, she 
said, "We... we think we might have a solution to 
having a baby. But we're not sure how he'll take it. 
Or how you'll take it."

"That sounds pretty heavy. What is it?"

"Uh... can we come over this evening and talk about 
it?"

"Oh, yeah. I guess so. Uh... excuse me. I gotta go. 
Sorry." She made a beeline for the bathroom, 
wondering what was on the couple's mind.

*

Lila and Keesha arrived after supper. Keesha still 
looked haggard. The physical hurt was long gone, but 
the mental ones were still there, etched in her face. 
Andi hugged them both and led them into the living 
room.

"So, what's up?" she asked, sitting down beside Lars.

"Um..." Lila started. She blushed. "Well..."

Keesha squeezed her hand. "Come on, baby. Or would 
you rather I said it?"

Lila gulped and nodded.

Keesha took a deep breath. "We... we still want to go 
ahead with the plan we talked about before... 
before... you know. Only... now I can't. So... 
well... Lila's agreed to have the baby."

Lars and Andi looked at each other. Then they looked 
at the two young women. Lila was staring at the 
floor. Keesha was staring at Lars and Andi. She 
looked sad and hopeful.

"Um," Lars said. "You still want me to make a baby 
for you? Only... now with Lila?"

Lila gasped. They hadn't realized she was holding her 
breath. "Yes," she whispered.

"Ah... is that a good idea? I mean, the risks..."

"Oh, we know all about the risks," Keesha said. "But 
there are risks anyway. Lila's completely healthy. So 
are you, as far as we know. We don't think there's 
any problem."

"Lila," Lars said. "Are you sure? I mean... you never 
liked..."

"I know," she gasped. Her face was pale and she 
squeezed Keesha's hand so hard their knuckles were 
white. "But... we desperately want a baby. I'll... 
do... anything for Keesha. You know that. Please, 
Lars. Say yes."

A silence lengthened as the four of them sat staring 
at each other, or off into a corner, out the window. 
At last, Lars turned to Andi.

"I think we need to talk about this. Excuse us for a 
few minutes." He led his wife out of the room to 
their bedroom.

"What do you think?" he asked.

"I... don't know." She sat down on the bed. "I mean, 
we did originally agree to it. Only it was Keesha 
going to be the mother. Do you think it's a good 
idea? I mean, with Lila? She's your sister. It's..."

"It's not unheard of," Lars said, thinking of Hoby 
and Monica. "I mean, about siblings having kids."

"What are the odds of it being normal?"

He shrugged. "I haven't the foggiest idea."

"So how do you really feel about it?"

He sighed. "I have a confession to make. I used to 
sleep with Lila." He rushed the words, holding his 
hand up to prevent Andi interrupting. "I've made love 
to her lots of times. But she doesn't like 
intercourse. It's actually painful for her."

Andi leaned away from him for a moment. She squirmed 
around on the bed. "You've made love to her. But she 
doesn't like to be fucked. That doesn't make a lot of 
sense. You mean you raped her?"

"No, no. It was... just... touching, kissing and 
hugging and... and making her come. I think we fucked 
maybe three times. It was a long time ago. Before we 
started going out together."

"But still... she's your sister."

"I know." He studied the pattern of the bedside rug.

"Well... Is there anything else you need to tell me? 
I guess... I always wondered how come you seemed to 
be so experienced as a lover. But if you only fucked 
her three times, that doesn't explain it, does it?"

He shook his head. "No. It was Jessie. I learned most 
of what I know from her. How to make it good for my 
partner."

"So you fucked two of your sisters and learned how to 
make love from them."

"Yes." He made a sort of strangled noise. "Not just 
them. Amber and Connie, too."

"Oh my god," Andi whispered. "I... I don't know what 
to say." She stared at him for a long time. Then she 
suddenly grinned. "I'll say this... I'm glad you were 
such a good learner."

He looked up. "Really. You're not mad? Not going to 
leave me? Not..."

She shook her head and leaned against him. "I'm not 
going to do anything. As long as you keep loving me 
like you have in the past. I'll even give you and 
Lila my blessing. As long as I'm you're one and only 
otherwise."

He hugged her and kissed her cheek. "There's no way 
I'm going to give you up for anyone."

"Then let me go to the bathroom, again. Then we'll go 
tell them."

Lila and Keesha were still sitting together, holding 
hands. Tears were running down Lila's face. Keesha's 
eyes were closed as she leaned back in the couch. 
Their legs were firmly pressed together. Lars noticed 
Keesha's brown knees both had dimples. The white 
socks she wore made a sharp contrast to her dark 
skin.

"Well," Andi said, sitting across from the women.

"What?" Lila gasped.

"It's okay," Andi said.

"Really? You mean that? Really?"

"Yes," Lars said. "I'll do it for you.'

Lila jumped up and knelt in front of him, throwing 
her arms around his chest. "Oh, Lars. Thank you. I 
love you. Thank you." She was crying hard now. He 
caressed her hair, then pulled her up.

"I love you too, sweetie. We talked about it and 
decided that, just this once, we'd agree to it. Just 
once, okay?"

"That's all we wanted," Keesha said. She got up and 
knelt beside Lila. "If we ever want another child, 
we'll adopt one. Thank you both."

Lila leaned back against her mate and gazed at Lars. 
"When can we do it?"

He shrugged. "I guess that's up to you."

"In... in about two weeks, I think. I should be at my 
most fertile then. And I can get myself psyched up 
for it. I'm... I'm still kinda nervous about the 
idea."

"How do you think I feel?" Lars said, laughing.


Lila met Lars at the door. She wore a short white 
satin robe that set off her figure. He pursed his 
lips and whistled. She grinned nervously and pecked 
him on the cheek. 

"Hi," she whispered. She held his hands in hers for a 
long moment before leading the way inside.

"Keesha?" he asked.

"She... went out. I'll... call her when... when we're 
done."

Though he'd been in the place several times, he'd 
only been in the bedroom once, when he helped them 
move in. They'd decorated it in soft mauves and pale 
off-whites. The queen-sized bed had a white duvet, 
turned down. The sheets were a light blue. The room 
had a very feminine odour to it, very erotic to the 
senses. He took a deep breath.

Lila turned to him. He thought she looked like she'd 
start crying at any moment. He pulled her into his 
arms and stroked her hair. She buried her face in his 
neck. He could feel her shaking.

"You sure you want to do this, sweetie?"

"Yes," she murmured. "It's the only thing I can do to 
make it up to Keesha."

"No," he said. "You could do it another way. You know 
that."

"I... know. But... we wanted it naturally. Oh, Lars. 
Please... make love to me like you used to, before 
we..."

"Of course." He lifted her face and kissed her, long 
and soft, touching her lips with his tongue. When she 
started to respond, he untied the robe and pushed it 
off her shoulders. She stepped back to let it fall to 
the floor.

He hadn't seen her nude for many years. Her beauty 
struck him as somehow chaste. She didn't blush or 
look down, merely stood before him, eyes on his. Her 
breasts, once almost non-existent, had filled out 
into modest firm cones. The once bald mound now 
sported a narrow Vee of dark pubic hair. Her waist 
and hips were still almost straight. He thought her 
figure was a strange amalgam of female curves and 
male straightness. For all that, it was beautiful. He 
pulled her back against him and resumed the kiss, 
caressing her soft warm skin. She moaned, soft and 
low.

He guided her to the bed and lowered her to the 
surface, covering her legs with the duvet. He gazed 
down at her while he undressed, appreciating her 
loveliness. He knew then what Keesha saw.

When it was over, she snuggled against his side, 
breathing hard. He held her against him, stroking her 
back, until her breathing slowed. Her eyes were 
closed, but tears trickled from them.

"Okay, sweetie?"

She murmured something he didn't catch and clutched 
him tightly. "Lila?"

"Yes," she sighed. "I'm okay. I... just... forgot. 
What it was like. I... it still doesn't feel right, 
when we fuck. But you still make love to me like I'm 
the only woman in the world."

He chuckled. "When I make love to you, you are the 
only woman in the world. It's the only way I know how 
to make love."

"Is... is that how Andi feels, I wonder?"

"Oh, I sincerely hope so."

She sighed and rolled onto her back. "Lars, I love 
you. I always have. But I love Keesha so much it 
hurts sometimes. I... wouldn't do this, except for 
her. That's nothing to do with how I feel about you."

"I know," he said. He leaned over and kissed her 
forehead. "Do you want me to leave? So you can call 
her?"

"In a while. Just... let me come down a bit. Maybe... 
maybe we should have a shower before..."

"Right."

Later, as he was rinsing soap off her back, she 
turned and put her arms around his neck. "I love 
you," she said, and kissed him, hard.

They got out and dried off. She went to the phone and 
talked briefly to Keesha. He was a little surprised 
she didn't bother getting dressed. Keesha appeared a 
few minutes later.

"I wasn't very far away," she said, grinning. She ran 
her eyes over Lila's body. "You look lovely, dear."

Lila went to her and melted into her arms. "Thank 
you. I'm glad you're back. I feel... sort of... 
wobbly inside." She giggled. "Like... like when we 
make love."

"I guess I'd better get going," Lars said.

"You don't have to," Lila said.

"That's right," Keesha said. "Stay and have something 
to eat." She grinned. "You have to keep up your 
strength." She held Lila away from her for a long 
moment, then pulled her back and kissed her. "You two 
make yourself comfortable while I whip something up."

She pushed Lila to Lars and headed into the kitchen. 
Lila sighed and pulled him down on the couch. "I 
don't really know how I feel," she said.

"Besides wobbly," he said.

"Yeah." She stared off into space for a moment, hands 
clasped in her lap. "I guess... it's... just knowing 
I'm loved. How much I'm loved. I mean..." she 
shrugged. "That sounds so trite."

"But it's true," Keesha said from the kitchen. She 
came back and looked at them for a long moment. "I 
love you because you're my partner. Lars loves you 
because he's your brother. He's loved you for a lot 
longer than I have. Together, you'll always have more 
love than you can stand." She turned back to the 
kitchen, paused, and came back again. "And when the 
baby comes, it'll be triple."

But that first time didn't do the job. Lars and Lila 
had to meet twice more. Then one morning, three 
months later, the phone rang.

Andi picked it up. "Hello?"

"We did it," Keesha cried. "We're pregnant."

"Ohhh, wonderful," Andi said. "I hope you're prepared 
for what happens next," she added, laughing.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'll give Lila a list of all the public 
bathrooms I know of. And she can have my maternity 
clothes. God, I hope she doesn't gain as much weight 
as I have. I'll... be... so... glad when this over."

"It's not much longer, is it?" Lila said, coming on 
the phone. She sounded breathlessly happy.

"Another couple of weeks, with any luck. Here's 
Lars." She handed the phone over and sank down on a 
chair with a thud.

But Andi's contents were eager to take on the world. 
Barely a week later, she woke Lars up at three a.m. 
and sad, "It's time." She dressed while Lars made a 
couple of phone calls.

Pru, Amber, and Andi's number two brother, Kenny, met 
them at the hospital. Soon after, Lila and Keesha 
arrived, followed by Andi's mother and the number one 
brother, Kevin.

The babies were born soon after eight o'clock. 
"Twins?" Andi groaned. "I didn't know it was twins."

They hadn't bothered with any of the modern testing, 
as her health was superb.

"Not really unexpected, though," Pru said. "They run 
in the family, after all."

"I hope not in every case," Lila murmured to Keesha, 
who burst out laughing.

*

The twins were named Mollie, after Andi's mother, and 
Byron, after Lars's father.

Nine months later, it was a repeat performance, when 
Lila also gave birth to twins. This time it was two 
identical boys.

Pru sat with Lila when she came home from the 
hospital, bouncing one of the boys on her knee.

"You know," she said, "with all these grandkids, I'm 
not sure what I'm going to do come Christmas.'

Lila smoothed the tousled dark hair of the little 
bundle eagerly sucking at her left breast. "You ought 
to do what Jessie suggested, Mom. Put everyone's name 
in a hat and have us draw one or two out. That way, 
nobody get overwhelmed, or put in the poor house." 

"I wasn't worried about that, so much. Dad's new job 
is making us good money. I think we could afford to 
give everybody something. But it isn't fair for 
everyone else, is it? I think you're right. Would you 
help me make up a list? I'm scared I'll forget 
someone."

"Sure, Mom. And I think Keesha's parents would like 
to get involved, too. Since they moved here, I 
sometimes think they feel left out."

"Well, they shouldn't. I'll ask them to help. Maybe 
we can plan a big party for the whole menagerie."

Lila giggled, suddenly. "You know, with them doing 
Kwanza, and Jessie's husband doing Ramadan, and 
Connie's wanting to celebrate Hanukah, we're a real 
mishmash, aren't we. I don't think we can accommodate 
everyone's religion."

Pru shook her head. "I don't think we should even 
try. Let's make it completely non-denominational. 
That way, everybody should be satisfied."

Lila suddenly looked sad. "Yeah. Or nobody will be."



CHAPTER NINE: WHERE'S IBRAHIM?

Sergeant Eric Christmas looked up from the folder on 
his desk to see one of the civilian assistants 
leading a pregnant woman and two children towards 
him.

"This is Jessica West and she has a problem that you 
might be able to help her with," the woman said.

"So, what's the problem?" Eric said, after seating 
the woman and her two charges.

"It's my husband. He's disappeared. Not here, though, 
and I don't know who to turn to. I thought perhaps 
you could point me in the right direction to try to 
find him."

"Where is he supposed to be?"

"In Somalia. It's like this: Ibrahim got a message 
last month saying his father wanted to see him one 
last time. They've been estranged for years... the 
old man didn't approve of me and disowned Ib when we 
got married. But then suddenly, this message came. He 
went back there to see if he could settle their 
differences. I know he arrived safely... he sent me a 
text message, and then a couple more... and then 
nothing. I tried to get hold of him, and any members 
of the family, but they don't answer. So I want to 
know what's going on. Do you know of any agency that 
could help?"

"Well, Mrs. West, I'll have to do some research. Have 
you tried the Red Cross? They often have resources 
for tracing missing people."

"It's Ms, actually. I kept my maiden name. Ib thought 
it would be easier for me than if I took his name. I 
don't know if it's made any difference, really. 
People around here are pretty accepting." She paused 
and glanced at her son. "I did try the Red Cross, and 
they relayed it to the Red Crescent organization, but 
I haven't heard anything so far. I'm really worried."

"We want our Dad back," the boy said.

"And what's your name?" Eric said.

"Jamal. And this is my sister, Maeve."

"Well, Jamal, I'll certainly see what I can do to get 
your dad back."

"Thank you," Jessie said.

Eric walked them out to the street and then went back 
to his desk. He couldn't get the image of the woman 
out of his mind. She had to be the most beautiful 
woman to cross his vision he'd ever seen.

But that didn't matter. He put his research skills to 
work and found an agency that might help. He 
contacted them with the details, and a copy of a 
photo Jessie supplied. Then, with the press of other 
cases he almost forgot about her. Almost. Every once 
in a while, the image jumped out in front of him. 
After a week, he phoned her.

"I'm just calling to say I've been in contact with 
someone who might be able to help find your husband," 
he said. "But they haven't gotten back to me yet. How 
are you doing?"

"Oh, thanks for letting me know," Jessie said. "I... 
I guess we're okay."

"You don't sound too sure."

"Well," she chuckled. "It's kind of hard coping with 
two kids and one on the way along with the worry. I'm 
lucky I have five sisters to help out. But it's not 
the same, if you know what I mean."

"I don't. Not really. I mean, I have one sister and 
that's all, and she's pretty independent."

"You're not married?"

"No." He laughed. "I've been too busy being a cop to 
make many social acquaintances."

"Oh, that's too bad. Um... would you like to have 
dinner with us? Just for the company."

"Ah... well... yeah... sure. When?"

"How about tonight. Say, seven o'clock."

"I'll be there."


After a satisfying dinner, Eric sat with the family 
for a while, then Jessie shooed the kids off to bed. 
They seemed reluctant to go, but Jessie finally got 
them to go by promising that she and Eric would come 
and tuck them in a few minutes.

Jessie grinned at him. "That usually works with the 
rest of the family. They like to have Lars, my 
brother, tuck them. When Ib and Lars do it together, 
they go right to sleep."

She suddenly looked sad. "I hope you can find out 
what happened. Where he is."

Impulsively, Eric pulled her into a hug. "We'll know 
soon enough," he said to the top of her head. He was 
surprised when she returned the hug.

"I guess we'd better go do the honours," she said 
after a minute or two, pulling away.

The kids shared a bedroom, their beds on opposite 
walls, either side of a window. Eric wasn't used to 
little children, but it seemed natural to tuck the 
bedding in and sit beside one or the other of them 
for a moment to say good night. Maeve turned on her 
side and pulled her body into a compact ball under 
the covers. Jessie tousled the little girl's black 
curls and bent down to kiss her cheek. Eric pulled 
the covers up over Jamal and made sure it was snug, 
then squeezed the boys shoulder. They retreated 
quietly and Jessie turned out the lights.

Back downstairs, they sat together on the couch 
talking about nothing in particular, until Eric 
decided it was time to go home.

"Just... before you go, would you take a peak at the 
kids and make sure they're asleep," Jessie said. She 
leaned back and cupped her hands over her swollen 
belly.

"Sure." He got up and went up quietly. At the bedroom 
door, he paused and peered inside. The hall light 
gave enough illumination to see the inside of the 
room. What he saw made him pause, then he went back 
down.

"Uh..."

"What?" Jessie said, opening her eyes.

"Ah... there's been a change up there."

"Oh?"

"Yeah... Maeve is sleeping in Jamal's bed, with him."

"Oh." She shrugged. "That's not unusual. Nothing to 
get upset about. They often sleep together."

"Really."

"Yes." She looked up at him. "You have a problem with 
that?"

"Uh, no, I guess not. As long it's okay with you."

"I think it's kind of nice they can get along so 
well." She sighed. "I remember sleeping with my 
brother when I was little. Not to mention most of my 
sisters at one time or another."

"Oh. Well, all right, then. I'd better get going. 
Thanks very much for a great meal."

"Oh, you're welcome," she said, heaving herself off 
the couch. "Thanks very much for coming. We enjoyed 
having you."

At the door, she suddenly embraced him and kissed his 
cheek. "Good night," she whispered.


A couple more weeks went by. Eric found invitations 
to dinner arriving more often as the time passed. 
Finally, just as he was about to leave for the day, 
an email popped up on his computer screen. He read it 
and knew he had to deliver that news promptly, though 
he dreaded the reaction it would cause. He printed it 
out and dashed for his car.

"Oh," Jessie said, opening the door. "I didn't expect 
you tonight."

"It's... I've... got some news, I'm afraid."

"Oh?" She studied his face. "It's bad, isn't it?"

"I'm afraid so." He handed her the printout. "This 
came just as I was leaving. You might want to sit 
down before you read it."

He followed her into the living room and sat beside 
her as she read. Tears started dribbling down her 
cheeks as she read.

"I can't believe it," she sobbed. "Why? Why would 
they do such a thing? It doesn't make sense, not 
after all these years."

Eric pulled her into his arms and held on tight, 
feeling her body shuddering. Jamal came into the room 
and stood in front of them. 

"What's wrong?" he asked. "Why is Mommy crying?"

"It's your father," Eric said. "I'm... afraid he 
won't be coming home, son."

Jamal nodded. "He's dead, isn't he." It was a 
statement, not a question.

"Yes."

"I knew it. When he didn't write for so long, I knew 
something must be wrong. I'll... I'll go and get 
Maeve."

"Is there anyone I can call?" Eric murmured to 
Jessie.

"Please... call my parents and my brother. The 
numbers are beside the phone. I'll... I'll go and 
talk to the kids."



CHAPTER TEN: FULL CIRCLE

The canned organ music faded as they walked away from 
the funeral home. Lars couldn't decide to be thankful 
it was all over, or scared for the future. He'd done 
his mourning months back, when the doctor told them 
how long Andi had to live. He'd done his best to love 
her weakening body right up to the end. She'd died in 
his arms a week back. At least, he thought, she'd 
reached her goal of outliving her mother. And by a 
good number of years, too.

He straightened his shoulders and stared around at 
the family crowd milling around in the parking lot. 
So many family members. Sometimes it made his head 
buzz. In fact, sometimes he couldn't even remember 
some of the younger ones, or who they belonged with. 
He saw Jessie and Lila walking towards him. Black 
certainly suited Jessie, he thought, but he was glad 
to see she'd decorated the skimpy dress with a 
scarlet sash. Lila was leading one of her 
grandchildren by the hand. His grandchild, too. He 
saw Keesha behind them. She waved, and then turned 
back to talk to her brother.

Jessie smiled at him and gave him a hug, then slipped 
an arm under his.

"We're going off to the restaurant now. Do you want 
to ride with us? Lila has the big van read to go."

"Yeah. Sure. Okay." He gave them a weak smile. His 
sisters had been looking out for him these past 
months, and he didn't know what he'd have done 
without them.

Elaine had reserved the restaurant and it was buzzing 
with familial chatter when they got there. She led 
Lars a to rectangular table near the front of the 
room. "This is where the family heads are seated," 
she said.

"We're family heads, now?" he asked.

"Well, you know what I mean. The seniors amongst us. 
Lila, Jessie, you, Amber, Connie, Janey and me. With 
spouses. Is that okay? I thought it would make it 
easier for the rest of the family if they want to 
find you."

"Oh, yeah. Okay. Thanks."

It was kind of hard to accept that the six of them 
were all that remained of the original family. He'd 
lost track of the number of descendants, but the room 
seemed to be overflowing with Wests.

Jessie sat down beside him and squeezed his hand. 
"It'll be all right, dear."

"Oh, I know," he said, returning the squeeze. "I just 
sort of feel overwhelmed by having everyone here at 
once."

"Yes, I know what you mean. It was that way for me, 
when Eric died." Eric, Jessie's second, and last, 
husband, had died the year before, from an undetected 
brain tumour.

A swarthy young woman came up to the table. "Mom, can 
I get you anything? Or you, Uncle Lars?"

Jessie smiled at her and pulled her close. "Thanks, 
Maeve. I'd really like a glass of red wine."

Lars shook his head. "Just coffee, for now."

The woman moved away towards the bar. Lars watched 
her go for a moment, and then turned to Jessie. 
"That's Ibrahim's daughter? Or sister?"

"Daughter," Jessie said, laughing. "His sister went 
back to Somalia a long time ago. I haven't heard 
anything of her for years."

"Oh, right." He sighed. "Too bad you and Eric never 
had any kids."

"Oh, well. Three were more than enough for me." She 
looked sad for a moment. "I never expected to outlive 
two husbands."

He took one of her hands in his. "I guess this last 
while has been pretty hard on you. First Eric and 
then Andi."

She nodded, for a moment unable to speak. He could 
see a tear forming. He pulled her close, wrapping an 
arm around her shoulders.

"Everything okay, Dad?" Byron asked, leading his 
wife, Laura, up to the table.

"Yeah, yeah. Just... just an... emotional moment. 
We're okay."

Laura squeezed his shoulder and led Byron away. 
"We're sitting just over there if you need us," she 
said over her shoulder.

Maeve returned with the drinks. "Mom? Are you...?"

"I'm fine, dear," Jessie said, wiping the tear away. 
"Just feeling a little depressed."

"I understand," Maeve said. She leaned down and 
hugged her mother. "I missed Dada too. And Andi," she 
added, smiling at Lars. Dada was the children's name 
for Eric, their stepfather.

The rest of the afternoon and evening passed, 
sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. Things started 
to wind down about ten o'clock. Elaine had started 
shooing the younger families away an hour ago, and 
the place was quieting down. She came over to Lars, 
who was still sitting with Jessie.

"I think we've all had enough," she said, sitting 
down. "Janey and Herb have taken off, and I'm about 
ready to fall asleep on my feet. Charley is asleep, 
in fact," she added, laughing towards where her 
husband was sprawled in a chair against the wall.

"Yeah," Lars said. "It's been a long day. Too long 
for some of us." He leaned back and stretched. 
"Thanks so much for taking care of everything. I sure 
couldn't have coped on my own."

"That's okay." She sighed. "I'm getting kind of used 
to it. I never thought for a moment that I'd be the 
designated funeral director for the family. That's 
eight now."

Lars hugged her. "Thanks again, on behalf of the 
whole family."

"Do you need a ride anywhere?"

"If you could drop me off at the house..."

"Sure. Come on. What about you, Jessie?"

"Um..." she sighed. "I don't know. Going back to my 
place... it feels so empty." She gulped as a tear 
rolled down her cheek.

"Say, why don't you stay at my place?" Lars said. 
"There's lots of room."

"Yes. I'd like that. Thanks."

*

The house did feel empty, Lars reflected as he went 
inside. He took Jessie's coat and hung it in the hall 
closet beside his own, then led the way into the 
living room. He savoured the scent that lingered in 
his nose from the coat. She sat down beside him on 
the couch and leaned her head on his shoulder. He 
pulled her tight against his side. They didn't need 
to say anything for a while. His eyes closed and he 
just sat enjoying the warmth of his sister's body. It 
reminded him of the millions of times he'd sat there 
with Andi, and he suddenly felt tears start trickling 
down his cheeks.

Jessie stirred in his arms and sat up with a sigh. "I 
guess we'd better go to bed," she murmured. "Oh... 
I'm sorry. Here."

She dug some tissues out of her purse and mopped his 
face.

He smiled at her and kissed her palm. "Thanks."

Suddenly, she was pressed tight against him, her lips 
on his, and they were both crying. He could feel her 
body shuddering against him. He stroked her back, 
murmuring sympathetic words. She tightened her hold 
on him until he could barely breath. All the while, 
their tears mingled, dribbling down their cheeks and 
off their chins to soak into their clothes.

"God, we're a sight," Jessie whispered, finally 
straightening up. She mopped her face with already 
sodden tissues, then applied them to his face.

He chuckled. "I'm sorry about that."

She shook her head. "No need to be. It's good for 
us." She tossed the wet tissues aside and folded her 
hands in her lap. "Lars... would you... I know this 
isn't really appropriate... would you... let me sleep 
with you tonight?"

She stared at the floor, unsure what the reaction 
would be.

After a moment, he pulled her back into his arms. 
"Yes," he whispered. "I'd love you to."


He'd always, when they were young, enjoyed watching 
Jessie get undressed. He discovered the thrill was 
still there as she shimmied out of the little black 
dress, to reveal her still trim naked body. He was 
surprised at how well preserved it was, how tight her 
belly still was, how alluring her small breasts were, 
how enticing her engorged clitoral hood was...

Lars circled her navel with a finger. "You have such 
a wonderful body," he murmured. His hand slipped down 
to curl over her mound. He squeezed gently, then 
leaned down to kiss the slot and ran his tongue along 
the opening....

*

Sometime later, he heard her heave a big sigh.

"You okay?"

"Yes." She fumbled around and found his left land 
with her right. She clamped her fingers around it. 
"That was a happy sigh. I... I haven't felt this good 
for a long time. Thank you, for letting me be here. 
For... for loving me."

He squeezed back. "I... well... I guess I'm glad 
you're here." He paused. "If you want... you can be 
here always, from now on."

She turned over and snuggled against him. "Really? 
You want me here?"

He hugged her close. "I've always loved you. You know 
that. From that first time you came into my bed, way 
back when, I've always liked having you beside me. I 
know our lives took a lot of different paths, but 
even though I loved Andi with all my heart, you've 
always been lurking there in the background. I'll 
miss her terribly. But if you're willing to be here 
with me, it won't be so hard to cope."

She kissed his cheek. "Thank you," she whispered. 
"Thank you. I... I guess I feel the same way. Oh, 
Lars. Yes, yes, yes. Forever and always."

*

Later, Lars took Jessie out to dinner one night. They 
were down to the coffee stage when he said, "What's 
wrong, dear? You've sort of been absent for the last 
couple of weeks."

She sighed. "I know. It's... well... something I've 
been keeping to myself for years. I never told Eric. 
Maybe... maybe I should have. I don't know."

"What?"

"Promise me... you won't hate me."

He laughed. "Impossible."

"No, I'm serious. It could make trouble."

"Nothing you could ever do, or ever have done, could 
make me hate you. I... saw you talking to Randy the 
other day. Is that it? You want to get back together 
with him?"

"No, of course not! Just because we had a little 
fling so long ago? Don't be ridiculous."

"Well, what then?" Lars said, shrugging.

She studied the design of the empty dessert plate in 
front of her for a long time, then looked up.

"When... Ib died. The baby was almost due and I 
couldn't do anything then. When it came, I still 
couldn't really do anything, for about a year. I... 
guess I was falling in love with Eric even then. But 
I didn't dare tell him, afterwards. Not after what he 
knew happened to Ib." She picked up her coffee cup 
and took a sip.

"Anyway, Eric put me in touch with the people in 
Somalia who found out what happened to Ib. When I was 
feeling better, and I thought Lila and Keesha could 
cope with the kids, I went over there. Well, you know 
that." She put the cup back in the saucer.

"What you don't know, what I've never told anyone, is 
that I tracked down Ib's family. His father was 
already dead by then. That's why they called him 
back, supposedly to make peace with the family. 
Only... that wasn't why they wanted him. Oh, Lars... 
they killed him. Killed him for the family honour, 
because he'd married me instead of someone in the 
clan." Jessie took a deep breath.

"I was so mad. God, I was out of control. I tracked 
down Ib's brother and... and... I killed him."

She looked up at Lars. "Then I came home. I never 
told Eric, or anyone else and... well... I guess it 
was stupid, a stupid thing to do. But they never knew 
who it was, and I felt better for a long time after. 
Only now... well... I guess I don't feel so good 
about it."

Lars reached across the table and took her hands in 
his. "I understand. I'm not sure what I'd have done 
under the circumstances, if someone had killed one of 
my loved ones. I... never really got close to Ib. I 
guess we were just too different. But I thought he 
was a good man, and he didn't deserve that kind of 
treatment." He paused, thinking. "Frankly, well... I 
don't know what to think. I guess they live by the 
old eye for eye rule over there?"

She nodded. "Pretty much."

"Then... well... you did you what you had to do. 
Under their rules. Under our rules... well... I 
suppose a case could be made against you. But who's 
going to prosecute? It's too long ago, there's 
probably nobody left there to bring a case, even if 
they knew where to find you. Under the law, I mean. I 
suppose, if they could find you, they might try a tit 
for tat sort of thing, but that would just make it go 
further." He stopped. "I'm rambling, aren't I." He 
squeezed her hands. "As far as I'm concerned, I never 
heard this story. If anyone asks, I'll back you to 
the hilt." He looked directly into her eyes. "I'm not 
a judge or jury. But I think you did the right thing, 
under the circumstances. And I'm pretty sure, from 
everything I've heard about that part of the world, 
you'd never have been able to bring it to whatever 
passes for a court there anyway."

She gave him a quivery smile. "Thank you." She 
returned the squeeze. "I... I think... I'll have to 
tell Jamal and Maeve and Patty now. I hope... they'll 
see it the same way."

"They... do they know what happened to Ib?"

"Oh, yes. I told them exactly what happened to their 
father," she said, her face suddenly grim. "After I 
came back home, I even showed them a picture of where 
he's buried. I had to pay for a marker there. His 
family certainly weren't going to do it."

She leaned back in her seat, releasing Lars's hands. 
"I wonder if I should have told Eric. As a policeman, 
he might have had second thoughts about me."

"Eric loved you without reservation," Lars said.

"But that might have created a reservation."

"It's a might that you don't have to worry about now, 
though."

"You think so. Well, there's no knowing, now. I'm 
just glad you feel the way you do."

Lars smiled at her. "No fear. Let's go home."




CHAPTER ELEVEN: THE END, OR THE BEGINNING?

Jerry watched Laura pacing around the room, the 
sunlight reflecting off her naked skin as she passed 
back and forth in front of the bedroom window.

He loved watching her lithe body move. Even though 
they'd made love a short time before, he felt himself 
getting aroused again. Though he supposed that wasn't 
making love, what they'd done. More like a pure fuck, 
almost violent in its intensity.

But... "What's the matter?" he asked.

She turned and came back to the bed. "I'm worried," 
she said.

"What about?"

"About what that crook Storey is likely to do."

"Storey? What can he do, now that Jamal has fired 
him?"

"I don't know." She knelt on the bed at his side. 
"But he's such a shyster lawyer, I'm sure he's going 
to try something nasty. I just don't want to lose the 
old house and the cabin and the whole rest of 
everything to him."

He pulled her down on top of him and caressed her 
warm bare skin. "Don't worry, sis. Between Jamal and 
Christine and myself, I think we're up to foiling 
whatever he tries to throw at us."

"You think so?"

"Yes. Now, try to relax for a while. We'll go see 
them this afternoon and see what's happening." He 
pulled her legs apart and let his re-erected cock 
slide into her.

"Ooo," she murmured. "You sure know how to take a 
girl's mind off her troubles."

He chuckled. "When the girl looks like you, it's 
pretty easy." He thrust into her and she responded by 
sitting up to ride him with slow gentle strokes.

"I wonder," she murmured, panting a little, "if other 
families are like ours?"

He wormed a finger into her cunt. "What do you mean?"

"I mean... like this. Does any other family you know 
of do this kind of thing?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. I just know it's been 
common in ours. Look at Uncle Lars and Grandma 
Jessie... they lived together for years after Aunt 
Andi died. And I heard they were lovers for a long 
time when they were kids."

"Yeah. I know. I even heard that Uncle Lars was the 
father of Aunt Lila's boys."

He chuckled, surging harder into her. "Well, it sure 
wasn't Aunt Keesha."

"No," she gasped, pressing down firmly," No. Oh, damn 
it, Jerry... I'm cooommming! Aaagh!"

*

Christine followed Jamal into the living room 
carrying a tray. She set it down and began pouring 
tea without asking. She knew what everyone wanted.

"So," Jamal said, sitting down beside Jerry. "I think 
we've nipped our friend Storey in the bud, so to 
speak."

"What did you do?" Laura asked.

"Well, I got to talking to one of my buddies in the 
police and she says they've been keeping an eye on 
him for some time. So I sort of nudged them a bit as 
to what he's been trying to do to us. Last I heard he 
was in a cell downtown."

"Oh, my, you're nasty," she said, laughing.

He shrugged. "It's nothing more than he deserves, as 
far as I can see. In addition to what he's been 
putting us through, he's been fiddling with a number 
of trust accounts in his care, and he's cheated at 
least one old lady out of a property."

She shivered. "I still don't know how on earth we got 
involved with him."

"I do," Christine said, taking a sip of tea. "He was 
hanging around at Grandpa Lars's funeral, making like 
he could help Elaine out with the estate's affairs. 
She was pretty cut up about Lars and Rudy and little 
Barb and I guess she wasn't thinking too clearly. He 
got her to sign him up as co-executor, to help take 
the load off. As if she ever needed help. Anyway, if 
she did, any one of us could have done it."

"So what is the status of the estate?" Jerry asked.

Jamal got up and went across to his desk. He shuffled 
through some papers and then brought them back to his 
seat.

"From what Elaine said, the estate is secure as a 
family trust. She's made me the manager, with Chris 
as seconder. The big old house is ready for someone 
to occupy it, and the cabin and lake property is 
ready for us to vacation there. Byron is there now, 
making sure everything is working properly."

"Oh, good," Laura said. "I've been looking forward to 
some all over tanning." She paused and stood up. "And 
now I have an announcement." She lifted her shirttail 
and rubbed her belly. "I'm... we're... going to have 
a baby." She grinned at Jerry. "Congratulations, 
brother."

Jerry stared at her, open-mouthed. Then he jumped up 
and grabbed her in a bear hug. "I wondered why you've 
been so horny lately," he said, laughing.

"Full circle," Laura said. She kissed him hard. "Aunt 
Lila would be pleased, I think."
