Completely free and currently containing some 7000 stories, the general section of our Archive aims to gather together the best of erotic material available.

Collation and cataloguing is a full-time operation, but it is hoped necessary work will be completed to permit a partial-opening during August. All requiring time and effort, in each archive acquired, many stories are replicated, many exist only in part and most have to be re-set to our standard format. Frequently, to make it readable, an unreadable story with a good story-line has to be re-written. Of one recently submitted archive with a library containing 500 stories, only approx. 100 were either new to us or fit to be re-published. ACCESS by the general reading-public to the archive will be via normal `list-serving' techniques, and as time progresses, availability of those stories available to subscribers will increase. FOLLOWING negotiations, MCG have successfully obtained sole publishing rights for such stories as `A Matter Of Perspective', `Mending The Tear', and `Etienne 2' and after the very popular reception of Part One, we hope to soon be able to present Part Two of `Electra And Her Daughters', more true-accounts of incestuous liaisons started by women. Prior to being released to newsgroups, these will be appearing in `Electra Magazine' in the next few months. THE MCCOY SECTION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To help the Archive, regular-poster and writer of many distinctive incest-related stories, Frank McCoy has donated his complete Library. When open, all freely available to newsgroup readers, amongst many others, it includes such titles as: `Rats' `Pedophile` and `But Mom!'

"ELECTRA AND HER DAUGHTERS" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As regular readers know, "Electra" is a term used in psychiatry. The reverse of "Oedipus" who wished to marry his mother, "Electra" was desirous of sexual intercourse with her father. In letters to the Authors, one herself an `Electra', women describe the circumstances surrounding their decision to instigate incestual contact. This is the true story of: Virginia: "Her name is Virginia, `Virgin' for ~~~~~~~~ short..." Dear Dr. Woods: A couple of months from now, I will be 25 years old, and for the past 18 months, have been living in a husband-wife relationship with my brother. Rick is two years younger than me. My first sexual contact with him was four months before that, and happened as a result of me being in an extremely traumatic situation. I married when I was twenty, when my husband, Elmer, was starting his career as a teacher. Naturally, we didn't want children right away, so I was on the `pill.' Life was just fantastic, and I thought our happiness would go on forever. One Friday, not long after our second wedding anniversary, Elmer came home early from school. Feeling very ill, he felt pretty sure a week-end of rest would fix him up just fine, but it didn't. He felt worse on Monday and I insisted on calling the doctor who said he was not sure what was wrong with Elmer and a few days later, we went into the city to see a specialist. When he'd finished running a bunch of tests, the specialist got us both in his office and told us Elmer would have to go into the hospital for exploratory surgery. Saying he thought he was feeling better and that he really needed to get back to his teaching, Elmer protested but the doctor looked at both of us pretty grimly and said, "No, Elmer. This could be serious." Surgery! Hearing him say that, I nearly died and grabbed Elmer and hugged him to me. For the next several days, while we were waiting for the operation to be scheduled, I just went around in kind of a numb daze. How could this be happening to us? When I should have been the one cheering him up, telling me everything was going to be all right, poor Elmer tried to cheer me up! Elmer's father is his only living relative, a poor, very sick old man who lives a couple of thousand miles from where we live. I called him but of course he couldn't come. My mother and father are both dead and my only relative is my younger brother, Rick, who lived in a smaller city just under a hundred miles from here. Asking him if he could be with me while Elmer was in the operating room, he got emergency leave and got to the hospital about fifteen minutes before they rolled Elmer into the operating room. As he was going past on the gurney, Elmer took Rick's hand and said, "Look after her for me," and Rick assured him he would. Rick and I sat in the waiting room, sometimes just holding hands and sometimes getting up and pacing the floor. We both expected to have a pretty long wait, so I was surprised - and very hopeful - when the operating surgeon came out sooner than expected. Pulling his mask down, he walked up to me and said, "Mrs.-------, I'm afraid I have bad news for you." My face must have turned very pale, because Rick came quickly to my side and put his arm around me to steady me. "He's going to be all right, isn't he?" I finally choked out. Shaking his head sadly, the doctor put a hand on my arm. "We've lost him." The surgeon told me when they'd opened Elmer up, they'd discovered he was eaten up with cancer. "Since there was nothing we could do for him, we started closing, and his heart just stopped. We tried, but we couldn't get it to start again." Reeling back against Rick, he held me up with both arms. The doctor told is if Elmer had survived the operation, he would have had perhaps a month or two to live and in constant, unbearable pain. "Believe me, Mrs.------," he said, "Elmer is better off not having to go through that, and though I know how hard it is to believe such a thing right now, so are you." After thanking the Doctor, holding me tight against his side so I wouldn't fall kicking and screaming to the floor, Rick led me out of the hospital. When we got home, not knowing what to do, I walked dazedly through the house. I was not even 23 years old - and already a widow! Rick fixed us lunch and made me sit down at the table, but I just picked at my food. Rick called the hospital and the mortuary, and the Principal at Elmer's school, telling him what had happened. Later in the afternoon, he sat and talked to me. I cried a lot, and he did his best to comfort me. Finally he fixed us some supper. I ate a little of that, and afterwards, showed Rick the bedroom where he could sleep. Then, I went to mine and Elmer's bedroom, undressed, and climbed in bed. I laid there, not tossing and turning like you hear of people doing. I didn't have the energy for it. I just laid there and stared at the ceiling. I felt so alone! It was still before midnight when, in desperation, I called out to Rick. In only a moment, he was coming through my door. He hadn't even taken time to dress and was just wearing boxer shorts. "Ginny," he said, "are you all right?" I was crying and I shook my head. "Please lie down with me, Rick," I begged him. He hesitated for just a second, then crawled in bed by my side and pulled the covers up over us. I put my head on his shoulder and sobbed for a while, and then I rolled away from him. "Please hug my back," I asked him, and he took me in his arms in a `spoon hug'. I don't know how long we laid like that, but after a little while, I felt Rick's penis start getting hard against my bottom. He moved back, but it was like his cock had pressed a `start button' in me! I don't understand the psychology of what I did and I'm not sure I want to, but I moved back a little bit so that my buttock touched Rick's erection again - and it was very hard. He jumped at the contact, and all of a sudden, throwing my uppermost leg across his hips and worming my lower one under him, I found myself rolling over to face him. Pressing my groin to that hard thing between my brother's legs, my arms were around him and I was pulling him to me as hard as I could. Rick groaned and tried to push away from me, but wildly humping against his middle, I had an arm and leg lock around him. I was still crying, but had managed to get my night-gown up around my waist and when I finally got his penis out of his shorts and the head of it against the entrance to my vagina, I jammed forward with my bottom and it sank all the way into me. For a minute or so, he laid still while I moved my vagina up and down on him, and then rolling over on top of me, began pounding it into me. I was like a wild woman! I hunched up against his cock as hard as I could, and he stabbed it into me like he was trying to drive it right through my body. When I came, I remember thinking that I hoped the neighbours would just think it was a `widow's wail' and screamed at the top of my voice. And grunting and grinding himself against me, Rick came at the same instant. When I felt his cum shooting into me, I clutched him tightly and felt his body straining to me. Then he collapsed on top of me. Almost immediately, he tried to roll away from me, but I locked my legs around his hips and my arms around his shoulders. I was crying again as inside me, I felt his penis beginning to soften, and I started slowly grinding my bottom in small circles until I felt it grow again. Rick raised his head and looked into my face for just a moment. I closed my eyes, and he laid back flat on me and let me work my vagina on him until he was hard. Then we went at it a second time like a couple of rabbits. Rick plunged, and I was jerking up against him, almost like we were trying to hurt each other until we brought each other to a second orgasm. Like I said, I don't understand why I was doing what I was doing with my brother, but it was like I thought if I let Rick take his penis out of my vagina, I would die, too. Even after coming a second time, I held him between my legs and wouldn't let him pull out. I knew I had strong muscles around my cunt, Elmer had teased me many times about trying to bite his cock off with my pussy, and now I put them to good use, squeezing my brother's limp penis. He was breathing hard, but it wasn't too long before I felt him stir inside me again, and we went at it a third time. When we came that time - it took Rick longer, which isn't very surprising - my orgasm was so strong that it felt like he was tearing my guts out, and then I fainted. Next morning, neither of us said a word about what had gone on the night before, it was just as if it had never happened. We called the funeral home and Rick and I picked out a casket, then I called Elmer's father and told him what had happened. He cried a little over the phone, but finally said he was too sick and didn't have enough money to buy a ticket to come to the funeral. So, the funeral would be a few neighbours, whatever friends Elmer had had at school and Rick and me. By the middle of the afternoon, everything had been arranged for the funeral the next day. I wanted to get it over as quickly as possible. We had phone calls from other teachers and a few students, and then things sort of came to a standstill. Drained from the fits of crying I'd had during the day, I told Rick I wanted to take a nap. I don't know how to explain this, but when I stood up to go to my bedroom, I caught him by the hand and pulled him with me, and when we were in my room, I grabbed the buttons on his shirt and nearly tore them off. I was a wild woman again, and I couldn't get his clothes off fast enough! Rick stood there looking at me as if he was patiently indulging a child and as soon as I had him completely naked, I ripped off my own clothes and pulled him to the bed. My legs wide-spread, I fell back on it, and pulled him down on top of me. He was already hard, and I couldn't wait to get his penis in me! Again, we screwed like a couple of rabbits and when we came, I locked my legs and arms around Rick like I'd done the night before and wouldn't let him take it out. I milked him with my cunt muscles until he was hard again, and we did it a second time. When the spasms died away in me, I felt him moving off. As I grabbed him again with my arms and legs, he put his head down by mine and said, "Sis, I just can't do it again. Please let me up." Deep in my mind, I knew I'd been using Rick and I guess my conscience at wearing him out took over, because I let him could roll off me. Instead of getting up and going out of the room, he laid back beside me and put his arm under my neck. I hugged him to me and had another spell of crying, and then we both went to sleep. The phone woke us as evening was coming on. Then there were more phone calls from people who wanted to know the funeral details. A little before midnight, I said I thought it was time to go to bed, and Rick agreed. Without either saying anything, we both went to my bedroom and got ready for bed. I think he came with me because he knew I could not stand being alone and I'm sure he had no intention of instigating any more sex. Our bodies not touching, we laid down together and turned out the bedside lights. My eyes open, looking toward the ceiling for a long time, I laid flat on my back. Then it was almost as if the different parts of my body had a mind of their own. My left hand reached over and, finding Rick's penis, pulled it out through the opening in his shorts. Like it was drawn there by a magnet, my head went down to where my hand was, and I sucked him into my mouth. As his body jerked and he gave a little groan, I couldn't tell whether he was awake or not, but then felt his hand on the back of my head as he pushed down with it gently to get more of his cock into my mouth. For maybe a minute or two, I sucked him until he got fully hard, and then, pulling away from him, stripped off my night-gown. Straddling his middle and sinking down on him until he was all the way in, I moved my bottom up and down, increasing my speed until finally stretching forward, I pressed my breasts to his face. He took a nipple into his mouth and sucked and I felt like my body was flying apart. Grinding myself down on Rick's penis, his bottom was hunching up, pushing it into me, and both of us shaking like we were in an earthquake, we came together. When it was over, I rolled off of him and laid with my back to him. He put his arms around me and wet with both of our juices, I could feel his limp cock lying in my bottom crack. And then we slept. Getting ready for the funeral service next morning, we were very busy. There were more people there than I had expected. I guess Elmer had more friends at school than I realized, both teachers and students. They were all very sad and very sympathetic, but the funny thing is - well, it isn't funny at all, but I don't know what to call it or how to explain it - whilst acknowledging all the expressions of sympathy, Rick and I were both just going through the motions. We smiled sadly and shook hands with everybody, but casting furtive looks at each other, we both knew we could hardly wait to get away from there and go home and fuck! And that is exactly what we did. Elmer's coffin had hardly been lowered into the ground and people starting to drift away when Rick and I made a dash to our car and headed for home. We didn't even make it to the bedroom. I think we were undoing our clothes before we even reached the house. As we entered, I threw my panties and bra on a chair in the living room, and Rick was down to his shorts. Grabbing me and sitting me down on the sofa, for the first time, Rick took the initiative. Spreading my legs, he knelt on the floor in front of me and the next thing I knew, his mouth was on my pussy. Just to get it hard like I'd done to Rick the night before, I'd sucked Elmer's cock, but I don't think either of us ever thought of him licking my pussy. I wondered why Rick was doing that, since I didn't have to be gotten hard, and then I felt his tongue on my clitoris and my bottom nearly jumped off the sofa. Never in my life had I felt anything like that, and I could no more control my movements than I could fly! My buttocks lifted up to push my pussy into my brother's face and I ground it against him like a belly dancer. My hands pulling his face into me and my bottom grinding against his tongue, I came in almost no time, and then he pulled back and smiled up at me. Shuddering for just a moment, I jumped up and pulled him with me into the bedroom. Rick's cock was standing straight out in front of him and I could hardly wait to feel it filling my vagina. He was so ready, it didn't take many pumps of his stiff cock before he was huffing and puffing and poking it to me with all his might. I thought he might come ahead of me, but when I felt his stuff shooting into the depths of my vagina, it set off my own orgasm, and hugging each other tightly, we came together. For awhile, breathing heavily, we laid beside each other, and then Rick got up on one elbow and looked down at me. Giving me a small, kind of quizzical smile, he whispered, "Why, Ginny?" Of course, I knew what he was talking about, and looked away in embarrassment. Finally, I said, "I don't know, Rick. I just don't know." Then I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I felt like I just had to do it. I felt like I'd die of grief if I didn't have it." Putting my hand on his naked shoulder, I said, "I'm sorry, Rick. Please don't think badly of me. I just had to do it!" To my surprise, he smiled again and leaning down, kissed me on the lips, the first time he'd done that. "Ginny, I've been in love with you since I was twelve years old." Kind of like I didn't believe him, I guess, I looked at him. He must have read my look because he said, "Before that, you were pretty much of a pain in the ass, I'll admit, but when you got to be fourteen, you all of sudden kind of grew up." He told me I'd gotten pretty and even started treating him nicer, and reminded me of the time, after school one day when he was fourteen, he showed up at home with a black eye and a cut over his eyebrow. Remembering, I said, "Yes, you said you were hit by a swing while you were crossing the playground." "Well, that wasn't what had happened," he said. What happened was he'd seen me walking across the campus and a couple of the older high school boys were watching me. One of them said I was the prettiest girl in school, and the other one said, "Yeah! Her name is Virginia, Virgin for short, but not for long," and they'd both giggled. [Having changed the respondent's name to protect her identity, we also had to change the "joke." The original remark which "Rick" overheard was considerably cruder. F. vB.] I laughed, and Rick said when he heard the boy say that, he'd lit right into him. He didn't know Rick was my brother, so he'd been taken by surprise when Rick poked him in the belly. It hadn't hurt much, though, and then he'd straightened up and given Rick the black eye. I hugged him and said, "That was sweet, you standing up for me like that." "Well-l," Rick said, turning kind of red in the face, "That was the first time I ever thought about you and sex at the same time. I guess it made me realize that someday you were going to let somebody fuck you, and I was awfully jealous of whoever that might be." "Oh, Rick!" I said, smiling at him. Rick nodded his head several times and said when he'd see me in my night-gown, or underwear after that - "You know, you weren't as modest as you could have been around a teenage boy, Sis," - thinking about how it would be to do it to me, he'd go to his room and masturbate, "I even thought about how wonderful it would be if I could marry you, and it made me sad to know I couldn't". I looked at him in surprise, and he laid his head back on the pillow. "And now I've really done it to you," he finished. "And how did you like it?" I whispered. Rick turned his head to look into my eyes. "It was about ten times as great as I thought it would be if I ever got the chance to do it to you, which I was sure I wouldn't." A couple of days later, Rick had to go back to his job, but since he wasn't terribly far away, promised to come back on the week ends to help straighten out Elmer's affairs. He did. And we slept together. In those awful weeks before and after Elmer died, I guess I was under so much stress that remembering to take my pill every morning was the least of my worries. Several week-ends later, I had to tell Rick I was pregnant with his child. I think life begins at conception and to me, having an abortion would be the same thing as murder. Besides, I'd just lost a husband and couldn't face losing a child too, so when Rick asked if I was going to have one, I told him `no'. Rick pointed out I would need to think about moving away from where we had lived It was too late for anyone to believe the child was Elmer's, so people would know I'd been sleeping with somebody. I knew he was right, but had no idea where I could go. A week later, Rick showed up for his week-end and told me he had talked to his company about him transferring to another city, far away from where we were. He asked if I would go with him. I said, yes, I'd love to live in the same city with him. Rick said what he had in mind was something different. "Will you make a dream come true for me?" "What dream?" I asked him. "The dream I used to have about how great it would be if I could marry you," he said, smiling at me. Saying we couldn't get married, I protested; we were brother and sister. Rick said he knew that, but we could live together and let people think we were married. Legally, I could get my maiden name back "Who'd know us having the same last name was not because we were married?" he asked. It was kind of a wild idea - but I told Rick I'd think about it. Elmer's insurance paid off the house we'd been buying, so I put it on the market and, meanwhile, Rick got his transfer. A couple of weeks later, I called him, telling him I'd decided I would go along with him on the husband and wife thing. If the father was present, it really would be better for our child and having a `husband' would save an awful lot of explanations. Rick was elated! About a month later, the house sold, he came to help me move to the little house he'd rented in the suburbs of our new home city. There was a large vase filled with roses on a table in the entry hall when we walked in the front door. Grinning, Rick said they were for me, (he'd wired them to a neighbour and gotten him to bring them over just before we were scheduled to arrive). Looking at the little card, the only thing written on it was "Song of Solomon 4:9-11." I gave him a questioning look and, still grinning like a kid with a delicious secret, he picked up a Bible that was behind the vase and handed it to me. Bursting into tears, when I read the verses, I fell into his arms. I can't even come close to describing the love I felt flowing between us. (This letter is long enough as it is, Dr. Woods, so I won't copy the verses here; you can look them up if you want to know what they say.) [Author's Note: Of course we looked them up! And, from the King James Version: "Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy necklace. How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine oils than all spices! Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the scent of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon." R.W.] Crying and hugging him to me for some minutes, I told Rick I didn't know he was a Bible scholar. He laughed, telling me that ever since high school, when he had something really preying on his mind, he's close his eyes and let the Bible fall open by itself. Putting his finger down on the page, reading what it was pointing to, he'd done it when he'd got back home after my telling him that I was pregnant. "I don't understand what the Song of Solomon is all about," he said, blushing, "but that sure looked like an omen to me. It's what gave me the nerve to suggest this." I have to admit that I was amazed! With the foresight to adopt a middle name, I filed a petition to get my maiden name restored to me. I chose one that could be a surname so it would appear to be my maiden name whenever I filled out any kind of papers. With my blonde coloring and Rick's dark hair, no one would ever guess we are brother and sister, so we don't have any trouble being accepted as a married couple. Our daughter is close to a year old now, and much to the relief of both of us, she is a perfect baby! She is the product of incest, so how could we know how she would turn out? But there certainly is nothing physically wrong with her, and the paediatrician says she's smart as a whip, so I guess no harm done! I guess you'd have to say that there was a lot of traumatic stuff involved here, Dr. Woods, but living with my brother as his wife and having sex with him is not part of it. We love each other very much. I don't know where Rick learned all the stuff he knows about sex, but I'm sure glad he did. I really do wish Elmer hadn't died, but I admit that if I was still married to him we'd always do it the same old way, with him on top and his penis in my vagina. But Rick and I really let ourselves go and do all sorts of different things. No use tempting fate, you know, so I am on the pill now, and will stay on it. I'm taking some courses in college in preparation for becoming a teacher - as good as Elmer was, I hope! By the way, not long ago I read about how some people - men and women both - turn to sex when they are in a grief situation. It told about one woman who got her husband's brother into bed with her at about the same point where I got Rick into bed with me, and another man and his sixteen-year-old daughter consoled each other with sex before the undertaker had even picked up their wife's and mother's body from the bedroom where she'd died in the same house. So, maybe I'm not as weird as I thought I was! [Author's Note: Virginia is right; it is not an extremely uncommon occurrence for a newly-bereaved person to seek consolation through sex, though usually with a close friend rather than a family member. However, it would appear from other responses received that death of a husband/father can be the impetus - perhaps even an understandable one - for mother-son incest. But none have been included here because of their lack of any corroboration from the son that the incest was, indeed, non-traumatic. R.W.] Sometimes, though, remembering Elmer laying on that gurney, telling Rick to `look after me,' I think, "Oh, Elmer! I know this is not what you meant, but I'm happier than I thought I'd ever be again!" Yours truly, `Virginia' From: "ELECTRA AND HER DAUGHTERS" c: Drs.

"TAKING THE BLAME" A Sad Story by Frank McCoy I remember the first time I saw Jennie. My first impression, was, "Oh what a shame!" The little 11-year- old seemed so bright and cheerful that day, I almost couldn't believe that she didn't even seem to know what had been done to her. Well, sadly that's my job. I'm a psychiatrist who works for the city Human Services Department, and they send me the abused little girls that seem to make up an ever-growing number of our city's children. If you looked, you could almost see the tiny little bulge in the girl's tummy, that advertised the fact that she would probably be a mother, before she was 12 years old. The really sad thing was; Jennie didn't even seem to realize what had been done to her. I mean, she DID know that she was pregnant, it's just that, at that time, the little girl seemed almost proud, that she was carrying her own father's baby inside her, instead of ashamed and frightened, like she should have been. It was my duty to show her, so she could lead a normal life, like I do. I got into this job, because I know what it's like to be raped by a relative, and it gives me insight that other people don't have; especially men. Some people think that a single woman like me isn't the best person to be handling cases involving families, but I've been able to counter that at least I'm a woman. No man could possibly know what it's like to be raped. Besides, could you imagine putting these little girls in the hands of a MAN, after a thing like this? I try to fix things up, but sometimes even I can't do much to undo the damage. It took me three days to win Jennie's confidence, enough that she'd even talk to me. At first she was suspicious of me, figuring I was just another or those so-called court-appointed head-shrinks; trying to help the prosecutor make a case against her father. I had to reassure the little girl, that my duty was to her, not to the state, and that anything she told me couldn't be divulged. Not even to convict her father. As I talked to her, she finally admitted to having sex with her father. Not once, but many times. It had all started, she told me, as she followed her big sister one night; when she saw the older girl sneaking down to their father's bedroom. She told me that once she saw how much fun her older sister had with their father, she insisted on doing the same thing herself. Later, when her big sister got pregnant, she told me how she had bugged her father, until she finally got him to do the same thing to her. Can you imagine the depravity of the man? Not only does he fuck his own little girl; somehow convincing her that she "enjoys" this atrocity, but he abuses her, until she actually BEGS him to get her pregnant. That's something like whipping a man, until he begs you to shoot him. Something I think should be done to men like the one who raped this cute little girl. Of course, Jennie kept insisting it WASN'T rape, that if anything, SHE raped HIM. God, that's even worse. Can you imagine how much he must have abused the child, to get her to think that having sex with him was a pleasure? And worse yet, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, with having her own father's baby. In fact, she seemed quite proud of the fact, almost flaunting her slightly bulging tummy, and saying how much she was looking forward to holding the little boy in her arms, and feeding him from her own body. That a man would do this, to his own little girl, then somehow force her into thinking she LIKED it, is beyond me. For the first few days, hearing the little girl chattering happily away, about how good it felt; how much she liked the idea of being able to give her father another child to love, and even how having sex with her father had made both her and her big sister grow even closer together, almost convinced me. Then reality set in. I mean, a little girl starting to have sex, at 10 years old? There's no WAY a child that young could enjoy sex. I mean, a woman's body isn't ready to have babies, until she's 14 or 15 (Jennie being the rare exception.) If a girl that young is having sex with her father, no matter how much she says she wants it, it must because he's forced her. Probably in some unspeakable manner as well. In a case like Jennie, I figured that her father's abuse must have been so bad, she was even repressing the memory. This made me all the more determined to find out just how bad his abuse had been; to make her think it never happened. I mean ALL men abuse their children to some extent. It's in the nature of being a man. It's just that some men are worse than others; and her father looked to be one of the worst. It took many sessions, but I finally managed to get Jennie to remember how her father had abused her. At first, the little girl insisted that her father had NEVER abused her, but after many sessions, I was able to help her uncover the memories she had repressed so hard. It makes me so mad; to see a little girl so abused, that she can't even remember BEING abused. It was only when I made her dig into her memories, pointing out each little time her father had punished her, and showing her that the times she thought he was showing his love, were just a chance to feel her body, not genuine hugs of affection. I mean, a man isn't supposed to hug his own son; let alone his daughter. I told Jennie, that she should have known that men don't love the same way women do. Any man who pretends to love you, is just dreaming of a way to get in your pants. It's a shame, but true. I remember the first time I found out about men. As I mentioned earlier, I was raped by my uncle, when I was 12 years old. Just a little older than Jennie here. No, he didn't hold a knife to my throat. In fact, his approach was similar to Jennie's father. He made me believe I wanted it. I was just a little girl playing at being sexy, and he encouraged me. In fact, the SOB actually made me feel I wanted it. And you know that's not true. I mean, how can a girl of 12, really want to have sex? Heck, I'm over 35 years old, and barely like it now. Of course, the worst part, was when he got caught. There I was that time, in his bedroom, sliding up and down on his cock while John was lying on his back with his eyes closed. He didn't even know my parents were there, until Momma's screams about him raping me woke the whole neighborhood. Up until that time, I thought a man had to hold a knife or gun to a woman, to rape her. Thankfully Momma taught me different. Momma says I must have been in incredible pain, as I was moaning and screaming and even begging my uncle to cum in me. Can you imagine how much pain I must have felt, to be begging my own uncle to squirt his sperm inside me, just to get it over with? It must have been unbelievably bad, as my mind has blocked out almost everything. Even now, after years of therapy, I still can't make myself remember the pain. It must have been extremely bad, as all I remember is the horrified look on my mother's face, when she came into the room and found me sliding up and down one last time, before her brother filled my womb with incestuous cum. Years later, my memories still almost trick me into thinking it felt good. For a while, I thought my mother was mad at ME. In fact, it wasn't until she got me to press charges against my uncle, that she let up on lecturing me about the evils of sex, and especially with your own relatives. After that, Momma would always make sure everyone knew about how abused I was and how you had to be careful around men. Indirectly, I think that my uncle's raping me, led to my parent's divorce, as my father was trying to make Momma stop protecting me all the time, while Momma knew I had to be sheltered, and taught never to let men touch me in any way. Thankfully, Momma decided that I needed to be protected from men, more than she needed a husband, so they broke up. Can you imagine? My father actually thought I should go to dances and parties, where men actually held the girls in their arms, before I was eighteen. Momma protected me from this kind of sexual abuse, until I turned 21. Then, she told me that being of age, she couldn't legally protect me any more, so she hoped I had learned to do it myself. I think I have. If it hadn't been for Momma, who knows what might have happened? Momma taught me all about men, and what they wanted. If it hadn't been for her, who knows how I might have turned out? Thanks to my mother, I'm the woman I am today. Poor Jennie. It took so much longer than I originally figured it would, to bring up the repressed memories of abuse. At first, she kept insisting her father had NEVER hurt her, and that you could hold a gun to his head, and he still wouldn't hurt her. It's a shame to see a little 11-year-old girl brainwashed like that. It was only with the help of hypnosis that I was finally able to bring the full horror of her abuse to the surface. For those of you not in the psychiatric field, hypnosis is a very suggestible state, where the person being hypnotized will do almost anything to please the hypnotist. A person can be made to imagine they feel no pain, even through having teeth pulled, or to see things that aren't there, or to even forget things, if the subject thinks that will please the hypnotist. It can also be used as a tool to uncover repressed memories. The subject can be asked to remember something, and he or she will search their memory in a manner not possible to a normal person. It was this method, that finally gave me some success with Jennie. At first, even under hypnosis, Jennie insisted that her father had always loved her, and had never hurt her. However, when I asked her to remember times when she at least didn't get her way, she gradually remembered times when he had sent her to bed hungry, then times when he had spanked her. When I encouraged her, I was gradually able to get her to remember worse and worse things he had done to her, at my prompting. After about 5 hypnosis sessions, Jennie finally broke down. Now I finally had her remembering these horrible things that her father had done to her. (Some of which are just too horrible to tell here. It's absolutely amazing, that the little girl wasn't scarred for life, the things she told me her father did to her, with a knife, cigarettes, and heavy leather belt. Surprisingly, she had managed to escape with only one little scar, that at first she had insisted she had gotten while roller-skating. It was only under hypnosis, that I was able to get her to remember how her father had beaten her with the lamp-cord, and then only when I prompted her.) It was quite a relief to me, to see the little girl finally admit to this abuse. After all, they say the first step to recovery, is to admit you have a problem. Now, Jennie finally had. Once she realized that her father's love was all a sham, Jennie broke down. It was at this point, that she tried to take both her own life and the baby's, by sticking herself in the gut with a sharpened coat-hanger. She only succeeded with the baby. When I remember how much Jennie had told me she wanted that baby, I almost cried. I guess the little girl is better off without it though. I mean: can you imagine having to spend your life caring for the baby of the man who raped you? It still aches me a little bit, when I remember how proud Jennie had been, when she first came to see me, almost showing off the fact that she was big enough to have her Daddy's baby. She had seemed so smug. Now look at her. She'll probably never have normal sex again, and almost certainly never have any children, with the damage she did. And all because of her father. After several years, I'm just beginning to get Jennie to remember how much she hates her father. It's surprising how much she had suppressed this. Even with hypnosis, she's just beginning to remember. Up to now, she's kept this hate hidden so deep inside her, that you wouldn't even have suspected it, if you weren't a professional like I am. Once I get Jennie to confront the hate for her father, maybe she can finally start to heal. Jennie is slowly recovering from her trauma, and I still see her every so often. Sadly, I was never able to help her older sister, like I have Jennie. It was with Karen's help, and even some from Jennie, that their father's sentence was reduced from 20 years, to 2, of which he only served 3 months. They both moved out of state, and who knows what depravity the man does to the girl? Karen was old enough at the time, that she refused to let me help her, like I did her little sister. Right now, I understand that Jennie is doing fairly well, at the nursing home. She'll never be the young, happy child again, that I had such a precious glimpse of when I first saw her. Sadly, I understand that both her father and her older sister blame ME for her condition for some reason, instead of putting the blame where it belongs, on her father. It's amazing how some people will blame everybody but themselves, for the damage they do. THE END ~~~~~~~ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ !!!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Very far removed from Incest, concerning one girl and her horse, this story is entitled: HORSEWASH ~~~~~~~~~ by Kaftka Bright and blinding, the sun shone on the green outside, but in the barn, it was cool and warm. From the blur outside, each step echoing through the empty building as the hollow floorboards resonated with the heavy foot-falls of the fine animal, through the rough grey door into the smell of fresh hay, she led the horse in. Lean and tan, her strong, muscular thighs showed well under the tight denim cut-offs that hugged her firm ass. Shining in the bright beams of light peering through the cracks in the walls, each step in the hay kicked-up thousands of tiny motes of dust as, barefoot, she brought the hose from its place in the corner. Scrubbing hard with a stuff brush against the soft and wet hair, carefully working her way over the back of the animal, her own back showed well beneath her tank-top, lithe muscles rippling below the surface of tanned skin. Firmly scrubbing against the tough skin below the wet coat of fur, she brushed out the beautiful animal's mane. Shining briefly in stripes of sunlight, wetting her shirt and face, short sprays of water flew through the air and red, pointed, tight nipples showing through the wet tank- top. Tiny rivulets tricking over the small swellings of her chest, her freckled face gleamed with delight as she threw back her hair and laughed with sheer happiness. Scattering more tiny droplets across her face, tossing back its mane, the horse stood still as bending down, the slick wet hair clinging to its lean and muscular body, she began to massage the chest of the fine animal. Slowly working her way down the chest and belly, her body shivered in anticipation as she ran her fingers over the huge animal's penis. Fastened to the body with a small fold of skin, the huge cock was clamped tight to the chest and covered with a soft downy fur, almost kitten-like in shape and size, its testes were already large and tender. Delicately massaging them, under her fingers, she felt them grow larger and firmer. Sitting lotus-like on the ground beneath the massive animal's belly, continually running her long, thin fingers across its chest, the slick soap foamed and dripped into her lap as artfully, each tickle making it expand and swell, her skilful hands slowly teased the length of the lightly-veined, fleshy phallus from its sheath. Soon, fingers encircling its girth, its strange weight in her hand, the engorged spear of flesh was at full length. Smoothly blunt-ended, as its dull-shining head beckoned her, her heart skipped a beat. So large she could barely fit the enormous glans into her wet-lipped open mouth, as the animal's head tossed, relishing the salty-tang, lubrication escaped from the jet-black nozzle as she slid it across her tongue. The snorting horse slowly bucked, sending tiny ripples across the muscles of the back, the body tossing up into the air; now, the cock was enormous. Cupping the testes in her hand and holding them firmly as the animal began to wriggle and buck, slowly, very slowly, withdrawing her mouth, she ran her tongue over the huge pipe, mouthing it, lovingly licking its length as if cleansing something adorable. Quiet and well-behaved now, the black horse waited. Finally, she could stand it no longer. They both knew what would come next. Setting it down under the still-dripping chest, withdrawing the small stool from the table nearby and sliding out of the tiny shorts, placing her firm, white- skinned buttocks upon it, her nipples rubbing the animal's bristly-hair, she slid underneath him. Cool water dripped unto the wet shirt she wore, her small teats shining, the nipples ever visible through the loose fabric. Tiny droplets slid from between her waiting thighs and slid down her legs as between them, the pink slit visible under the wispy dewy-blonde hairs as she breathlessy spread her legs underneath the huge wavering black cock, she slowly began to rub it against her clitoris. One steadying hand against the shining black flank of the animal, holding it to her soft tissue, her other hand grasped the huge organ, and slow- stretching inch by inch, forced it into her wet, waiting slit. Her face tight and drawn as she pressed her cheek against the fur of the chest above her, taking many tries to stretch them out enough so that they could accept such a cargo, in time, her body had learned to well handle what her mind desired, and now opening to swallow the massive cock as it had done so many times before, the muscles about the pink folds of skin relaxed. Stimulated by the warm, oily, still-slender tightness of her vagina, trying to penetrate its enormous cock into her, haunching in a slow and regular rhythm, the huge body began to buck. Rearing-up, forcing her up into the air as she clung with both hands for dear life, the musky scent of her slender body mingling with the sweet and pungent horse-smell that permeated every pore of her body, her clit briskly rubbed against the wet and sweaty fur. Moaning and whimpering, feeling her body full and complete with every movement, faster and faster, the animal above rocked into her. Under no control of her own, head rearing back, her screaming-mouth opened as every muscle in her body tensed to breaking point, her sheath expanding, to contract around the hot flesh over and over and over again. Lasting an eternity, giving herself to the rhythm, she hung on until, rearing back for one final stroke, the massive animal tossed its front legs into the air. Sheer force of the powerful spray forcing it out of her slit, the spurting cock squirted sticky white fluid across her thighs and chest. Sore in every muscle, sliding off the tiny stool to lay in dry, sweet-smelling hay, the delicious flavour of warm, satisfied lethargy slowly crept over her. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ FROM THE POSTBAG ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Taken from the Incest Help-Line post-bag this month is the following interesting letter.

As you climb between the cool sheets, I can tell what you're thinking. I know exactly what you are thinking. You are thinking of me. We've sent E-Mail back & forth before, but we've never met...yet. You can't see me but I am here. Waiting in the shadows patiently. As you turn off the light, I watch you try to go to sleep. My heart is pounding wildly against my thin silk gown that flows over my nude form. I want you, I mouth to myself, as I watch you drift almost to sleep. I long for you, for your touch, for your kiss. I make my move and go very slowly to your bed. You do not notice me. : Your breathing is even and slow. I nudge your bed gently, shaking it only enough to make you turn over to gaze at me with half-aware eyes. My hands move slowly over the roundness of my breasts, down to my firm, smooth stomach, then I caress my hips and thighs. As you watch me, you wonder, but for a moment, how I could have gotten in here, but you find you really don't care. I crawl gently next to you on your bed. I rest my fingers gently upon your lips, quelling any doubt, and I gaze into your questioning eyes and you realize what I want. : I move my fingers from your lips slowly to your neck and I bend to kiss you with my soft, full lips. Softly and gently I give my tongue to your mouth as you enclose me with your arms, and pull me towards you. I can feel your wild heartbeats against my chest. I break the kiss as to slide my lips down to your neck so that I may lick and tug on the skin where I feel your rapid pulse. I caress your chest with my soft fingers, and then I use my nails to trace patterns from one nipple to your other, making you sigh quietly. I feel your cock stiffen against my thigh. I begin to leave a wet path with my tongue down to your stomach, my eyes slowly, steadily watching you watching me. I move to kiss the insides of your thighs, your cock stands directly in front of me, waiting for my mouth to attack it. But I won't! I want you to feel everything. I want you to feel every single thing that I'm doing to you. I tongue your balls slowly and bring them very gently into my mouth. The sensation wakes you up in a heartbeat, meanwhile, I increase the intensity by breathing hot on your tight balls. Your wait is over, and your mouth gapes as I encase your cock with my lips. I go all the way to the bottom of your shaft, and move very, very slowly upward to the very tip, and back down again. Your hands clutch the sheets and beads of sweat fall from your forehead. You close your eyes to intensify the pleasure. Your move your hips up and down, in an unconscious effort to drive your cock even further into my hot, wet mouth. I know your game, and I know what you really need. I go back to the tip, your swollen head, and lick the hard vein underneath, and I flick it back and forth, while you whisper, begging me to take you inside my warm, wet mouth. I do so and swirl my tongue around your delicious head. Then I put a firm clamp on you with my lips and just move my head back and forth. I increase my suction and you plead for release. No, not yet, I want to drive you near insane. I push my head down just a bit further so I can rub your sensitive head against the roof of my mouth and push you deeper into my mouth until you're just at the back of my throat. In one swift motion, I have you deeply imbedded in my mouth, and I swirl all around your hot, throbbing cock. You've thrown your head back, and your moans of pleasure are nothing compared to the waves of ecstacy that are in my own body. I gently remove your cock from my mouth. You lean up and see my eyes widen, as I notice that it's just glistening with my saliva. You look as if you're about to burst! I move on top of you, and kiss your forhead, your eyes, your nose, your lips, and try to draw blood out of your tongue. I know you want to come and you shall, but not yet. You find my nipple close to your mouth and you suck it between your teeth. Ooooh, your mouth feels so good on me! Then you hold me tight and run your fingers along my very wet slit, I'm in a position where I couldn't move if I wanted to! You start to tease me with your cock, putting it on my clit, rubbing it back and forth. I beg you to put it inside me, but you don't, you want me to beg you more, you want me half-crazed from the pleasure I feel. I rub my pussy against your cock, letting you feel my wetness, and move back to try to lure into my hot, steamy, lust filled slit. You push your hips up and I feel your the head of your cock spreading me apart, and then entering me. My pussy contracts involuntarily as you move deeper in, sending shivers down my spine. I cry out, your cock feels so good sliding into me. As I feel you more and more, deeper and deeper inside my pussy, nice and snug, and I'm not about to let go. I dig my fingernails deep into your chest and rotate my hips, around & around & around, grinding slowly. My mouth hangs open and I moan loud when you thrust deep into me. We gaze into each other's eyes almost hypnotically. You become more aggressive, our juices and sweat mingle. You pump me faster for a while, then we change places and now I'll ride your hips for a while. The rhythm comes back, and you roam my steamy body with your hands. You squeeze my tits and pinch my nipples, while I stroke my swollen clit. I suck on your cock with my pussy, squeezing it, and pulling it as you buck wildly under me. I lean over, only for a moment, to whisper softly and slowly in your ear, "Fuck me, lover, don't hold anything back..." In a swift motion, you re-enter me after I turn back over, I throw you an admiring look. I throw my legs over your shoulders, and you ball me savagely. Ooooh, I love the way you ravish me! We develop a rhythm and grind together passionately. Deep within me, I feel you swell even more than before! I move my legs around your waist in an effort to pull you closer and deeper. Time has little meaning, if any. We gasp heavily, almost as if possessed. My utterances aren't words, but sounds of ecstacy. As I grind my cunt up into your groin, you bite my neck. Your balls are burning with the desire to shoot forth your delicious come. I can feel them slap against me. I reach down and slide my fingers over your balls and feel their smooth tightness. Your whole body trembles, and you feel a tingling that is unmistakable. My clit is burning and I beg you to go faster, faster, faster, I scream. Oooooh! Yes, harder, ram your cock into me, harder, faster! Slam it into me, tear me apart with your beautiful cock! We sound like animals. Our moans and gasps are louder as we lose control and head for the silver rainbow. I feel your cock twitching & jerking inside my cunt. Our bodies shake and quiver and tremble and we lose awareness of all else except each other and our pleasure. Our voice becomes one great crescendo, our bodies burst forth, I feel you come inside me and I follow suit by bathing your groin with my nectar. Our heads spin for a time, and finally, the last moments of our climax draw to a close. We breathe heavily, almost glowing, you move up to bury your tongue in my mouth and I bring our hearts close together by hugging you very tightly. Neither of us have looked better, the eyes of one taking in the other to the fullest. We sleep in each others' arms, content, tranquil... You stir, half-aware of my lips caressing yours, with a look back, I gather up my gown. You rub your eyes to clear them, and look around your room...but I have returned to the darkness from whence I came.

Somehow surpassing awareness of any family tie, I never even regarded her as anyone I had known longer than the last three of four years. In our existence between home and hospital, we were simply us, two entwined people who shared life, thoughts and love. As a reversal, when out together, always calling me by a pet or my Christian name and often causing us a smile, it was only when alone together in intimate moments was the word `Daddy' said or whispered. Within the limits imposed by her physical frame, she did more for me than I did for her and into the bargain, I came out well, for I'd happily do everything for her. It was only when other people were happy to talk of her future that reality struck home, a bolt of fear occasioning itself when her surgeon pronounced Gayle was almost mended. For so long visualised as a blurry, meaningless `one day', this day had sneaked up on me. Unprepared for it, without reason to sense other patients in the Ward were holding a secret, on bidding a `good morning' to the Sister, I didn't detect a certain sparkle in her eye. As I walked past her, in just her normal voice, and starting to chat about normal every- day things, she called me back Impatient to see Gayle, I was about to take my leave of her and make my way to Gayle's room when a soft voice gently called - "Daddy." and thunderstruck, jaw dropping in amazement, I spun round. No crutches, no walking-sticks, just resting on the arm of a nurse, and silhouetted by sunlight behind her, a few yards away stood Gayle. Dressed in a diamond-patterned tan and green Raglan jumper and, falling gracefully away over her hips, a tan skirt with a broad brown belt, her brown hair swept up over her forehead revealing her oval face with just a touch of skin-tone lipstick. She looked beautiful but timidly seeking approval, her brown-eyes looked at me. Caught by surprise, moving habitually to support her, the Ward Sister caught my arm as letting go of the nurse, very slowly, but very steadily, Gayle started to walk. Our eyes locked together; one step, two steps, three steps and as I held my breath, every one of them increased the tightness in my throat. Willing her towards me, as Gayle approached, nothing else existed in the world but the beats of my heart matching her, thump for step. With the slightest of limps but without so much as a tiny falter, Gayle confidently closed the distance between us, until standing only a few inches in front of me, the breath burst from my aching lungs as hands flared at her side, with a huge, happy smile over her face, she presented herself. "Well?" Stupidly gazing at her for many misty moments, I could eventually only think of one thing to say. Swallowing hard and only able to whisper, I took her hands in mine. "Do you know, Gayle, you really are the most beautiful girl. If I wasn't already so proud of you, I'd be proud of you all over again." Oblivious to others watching, throwing our arms round each other, we were lost in a long, long hug. With even the occasional cheer and much applause, an excited hub-bub of conversation burst out amongst the people watching us to drown my voice as I whispered, "I love you very, very much." "I know. I love you, too." "I'm afraid she's been holding out on you," smiled the Ward Sister. "Gayle took her first real unaided steps some time ago, but swore everyone to secrecy. She wanted it to be perfect when you saw her. She's practised that walk every day for a month. "Everyone's been marvellous", I said sincerely. "Oh, yes", she agreed, "But Gayle had to make it happen. Everyone could only help in their own funny way. Some funnier than others," she added and I felt myself flush as she gave me a direct, meaningful look. We turned to watch Gayle walking along the long corridor back to her side-ward. "I never thought I would live to see the day that happened," I said. "Gayle's had some big secret incentive", Sister said. "Two years ago, she confided to us that when she could cross a room to you, something wonderful was to happen. We've been wondering what it was." Hopefully, she stared at me. "Now she's done it, what happens next?" With a swimming head, I slowly sank onto a chair. I'd completely forgotten the bargain I'd made with Gayle. Able to walk, a promised door was supposed to open, but to maintain the integrity of Gayle's future life, this was one I had to keep a shoulder firmly wedged against. With a sinking feeling, my heart sank. Short-term reprieve came in the shape of my mother. Leaving the hospital for the last time a few weeks later, Gayle's surgeon came to see her off. Shaking hands with me, an old-fashioned gentleman, as he peered over his spectacles, he'd said, "I'm most terribly sorry I never believed you. But as I recall, some six years ago, I did mention miracles could happen." Somewhere within me, a male voice said `hmpff', but once he'd become convinced, aware of the efforts the surgeon had put into to help Gayle, I grinned at him. Turning to her, he said, "Well, I suppose I owe you a game of tennis. You've beaten everything else, so I have little doubt you're going to beat me." On the journey home, looking around her with a contented little smile, Gayle was very quiet but to her surprise, as we'd walked up the garden path, the front- door opened and there, come to stay for two months, was my mother, "...just for company until you are used to getting around". Suspicious, Gayle looked at me, but said nothing, for which I was grateful; it had needed much persuasion to get my widowed mother to agree. Busily completing a long-ago day-dream, for days ensuring her grand-mother was never out-of-earshot and consequently, we were never alone, blaming the presence of Grandma, I kept myself at arms-length from Gayle. Often, a hopeful or romantic expression on her face, I found her looking at me, but sure I was doing the right thing, apart from normal father/daughter morning and evening kisses, I avoided all physical contact. Apart from regular check-ups, clear of hospital visits, Gayle still continued with daily exercises, and even before five weeks had passed from the day I'd first seen her walk, her limp all but disappeared, she began to participate in all the normal physical activities of an 18 year-old girl. Many celebratory parties were held for her, our local newspaper featured her story, and tipped-off by the Hospital Friends, she was interviewed for local radio. Having previously passed a driving test in a disability-adapted car, it was short work to convert ours back to normal operation, and being able to travel around, all-in-all, she became quite the local celebrity, as well as being only too happy to help the Hospital at any time, called upon to open Church Bazaars and the like. Although I watched her carefully, with no signs of strain or tiredness, Gayle took everything in her stride. Why did I expect anything less? ** * ** Without warning or discussion, three weeks after Gayle's discharge from hospital, leaving the following morning, I told them both I was going away, alone. Mother said, "You deserve it, dear", but the look of hurt surprise in Gayle's eyes stayed on my conscience for a long while. For the first time in some six years, she and I were going to be parted overnight, and deliberately avoiding any opportunity for conversation, before anyone rose the following morning, I'd left the house. Everything was going to be difficult enough without courting drama. Very pleased with myself, three days later, I'd returned. Gayle's happy, warm kiss of greeting did nothing to ease my guilt, but uneasy of opening unnecessary doors, whilst returning it, kept it purely a `Daddy' kiss. Mother was completely in the picture, and when I suggested taking a Sunday afternoon drive that week-end, she was so enthusiastic that a still confused Gayle became caught up in it and for a time, we functioned as a normal happy family. But, aware of what was at journey's end, refraining from catching Gayle's eye in the rear-view mirror as, unusually and another piece of my engineering, she sat in the rear of the car, as the miles ticked by, inside, I became more and more morose. Since first visiting a particular coastal county as a child, Gayle had often expressed a wish to live there when she grew older. Some hours later, just outside a country village which was a particular favourite of hers, I pulled up the car in front of a newly-built little house. Constructed of stone with smart grey and white woodwork, the afternoon sunlight reflecting from old- style, mullioned-windows gave the house a homely yet neat appearance, and watching Gayle's face, I knew at once she liked what she saw. Old trees had been left in the gardens, and from the top of a nearby cliff, the sea stretched away to the horizon. Mother and I keeping perfectly silent, after a few minutes, Gayle asked, "Who lives here, then?" "You. If you want, that is." Delighted, Gayle squealed. "Daddy! How? Whose is it?" Scrambling from the car, laughing happily, she stood in front of the house. Helping a smiling Mother out of her seat, glancing at Gayle, she whispered "This might just work." Supporting her arm as we walked across to where, hands on hips, Gayle was admiring the view, crossing my fingers, I murmured, "I hope so. Oh, how I hope so." Opening the front door with a flourish, I stood to one side as, like a child looking at her first Christmas tree, Gayle entered. Passing from room to room, sweeping round in wondrous circles as her eyes took in the fixtures and fittings, her face was a picture of happiness. To my question, "Do you like it?" reproachfully she looked at me. "You know I do. There's everything in it I've ever wanted." "I should think so, too," I grumbled with a smile. "It's just taken four men three days to move everything in. And me to supervise them." Beginning to move towards me, about to give me a hug, Gayle's face lit-up, but rudely, I turned to my mother. "Shall we tell her the rest?" Grannie nodded. "Well, you ought, seeing it's hers" To Gayle's puzzled look, I said "The house is all yours. From the accident money. When it happened, I made up my mind that if you survived, you'd have your own little house, just how you wanted it and where you wanted." I waved my arm around the room. "This is it! With love from your mother and I. She'd want you to have it. And so do I. You have a life to lead, now. All yours, to do with as you wish." Incredulously staring around her, Gayle sat down with a bump. "It's what I always dreamed of. Everything I wanted in my own little home, with the people I love around me." She turned to me. "How did you know what furniture to get and things like that?" "All those evenings talking to you, I was spying on you. When you said you like something you saw, or when you were talking about colours and such-like, it just sort of became filed away in my mind. The insurance claim was settled about two years ago and we've scarcely touched the money. It's all on deposit; we've been living just on the interest." I held out the bunch of house-keys. "The money and these, they're all yours, kid." Suddenly aware of something in my attitude and sensing betrayal, her face white and serious, Gayle stared at me. In an false, tight voice, she asked, "When are we going to move in, Daddy?" Like the fantasy `one day' when Gayle would walk, never believing it would arrive until it actually did, disbelievingly talked-about for years but suddenly here, that other `moment' was hurriedly and unpityingly upon me. Suddenly feeling sick and dizzy, I said pointedly, "You just did." Hurt and disappointed, suddenly realising the truth, Gayle said in a small voice, "Oh." There was a long pause as she thought things through. Like a child trying to delay bed-time, inspiration for obstruction coming to her, her face lighting up, Gayle exclaimed, "But I can't live on my own, Daddy! Not yet, anyway. I've just come out of hospital. I need help around me." Ruthless, I'd already cut off that retreat. "You won't be on your own, my love. Until we are sure you are perfectly OK, Grandma has agreed to live with you for a few months. She's happy to stay for as long as you need. Aren't you, Mother?" Expecting happiness and smiles all the way, suddenly aware something was drastically wrong, glancing uneasily first at Gayle and then me, my mother said, "Of course, dear. I'll make us a drink." Looking at each other as crockery rattled and Mother hummed to herself in the kitchen, her eyes wide and frightened and on the verge of tears, Gayle's trembling lips mouthed a silent, "Why?" "Because it's for the best, I suppose, darling," I replied dumbly. "It wouldn't be right. Much though I love you, you know that, it just wouldn't be right. Try to understand." Clutching a last feeble straw, Gayle asked in a small voice, "How about my clothes and things? I need to talk to you. We'll come and pick them up." Foreseeing this particular question, I had the answer ready. "There's a charge-account in your name in all the major stores in town. You can well afford to buy whatever you want and in any case, everything at home of yours is being brought down here tomorrow." "But, Daddy..." Misery beginning to well in her, Gayle's voice faltered. "But, Daddy... White-lipped, she looked away from me, her fingers pinching the bridge of that lovely nose as fighting tears, she screwed up her eyes. Swallowing hard, her voice throaty, she whispered, "But what about your promise? We made a deal and I love you and I don't want this." Slowly shaking her head, her voice cracking, she slowly repeated. "I really do not want this. I want it to be as we promised each other." Tears very close, her voice choking as it changed to a little whine of anguish, her brown eyes sparkled water as she looked at me. "Oh, Daddy. Why? Don't make it this way, please." Avoiding her eyes, I swallowed. "Of all the promises I've ever made you, Gayle, I've always kept them. But there is just this one I can't keep. It isn't because I don't want to. I just can't!" Pleading, I looked back at her. "Oh, Gayle, I've done my best. Surely I'm entitled to renege on just one promise?" Unsteadily, her lips pinched, a pale-faced Gayle leant against the back of a chair. Gazing at nothing, in exactly the same very flat voice, unemotional voice she'd used when the rabbit had hit the car, she said, "So it was all a big fib. You never did want me. Everything was simply to keep me working at getting better, wasn't it? Just to stop me from feeling sorry for myself." More than ever before, I wanted to put my arms round her, to kiss Gayle's eyes and lips and face and neck and anything else I could possibly reach; to tell her it was all subterfuge, that in six years, the only reason I'd been able to keep going was because she had made me feel so selfish, too ashamed to give up. That I desperately wanted her, that the future would mean nothing without her. And break faith and tell her I might have, save at that moment, the serving-hatch opened and Mother pushed through the tea-tray. Clamping my heart back in place, I shrugged as she came into the room. "I can't stay any longer, Mother. It's a long journey, and I must be getting back." Moving to Gayle, as I kissed her cheek, I closed my eyes to avoid the look of deep pain on her face. Slipping a set of keys on the table, I murmured, "There's a car in the garage. That's all yours as well." Glancing sideways at her grand-mother, in a whisper, Gayle asked, "Who's going to look after you? You'll be all on your own. I want to look after you." She paused. "I always have done." "I've looked after us both for a long time, darling. I can easily fend for myself." Avoiding Gayle's look of disappointment, I did my best to smile cheerfully. "In any case, I'm off on holiday tomorrow, a real holiday. My present to me from the Insurance Company. Sunny climes and sandy beaches!" I lied. "For two whole months." With my head down as I scuttled from the house, my last sight of Gayle was as she sat with her elbows on the table, her hands clasped either side of her nose, her shoulders heaving as she choked back unexplainable tears which my mother wouldn't understand. Hunch- shouldered, falling over my own feet like the drenched rat I felt, I scurried to the car. But I knew I was right! Fully-recovered, Gayle now had her own life to lead. For 154 long miles, I knew I was right. Back in a normal environment, she'd quickly abandon all day-dreams of our continuing our love-affair and be very happy that events had progressed only as far as they had. All the drive home, I constantly reminded myself I was right; Gayle was much more mature than her 18 years, she'd quickly appreciate the wisdom of my decision, why I had kept her at arm's length. For every inch of those dark, cold long miles, I told myself that given time, she would even come to appreciate how from the moment I knew she could walk, it had been necessary to avoid her, to put distance between us and for fear my heart would break and I'd give-in, to park her Grand-mother on her for some months; good company, someone to talk to and laugh with. About the same company I'd always tried to be. Gayle was hurt, but she'd soon know why it was necessary. I knew I'd hurt her, but it was for the very best of good reasons; how many good reasons did I need? What did she know of love? Tantamount to a school-girl crush, infatuated with a White Knight-figure, she was still a child who didn't know her own mind. Any thought to the contrary was kicked out. Reaching home, wearily garaging the car, I entered the cold, still house. Making myself a hot drink, as I recalled everything that had happened and had been said in each room of the house, remembering Gayle's misery and tearful eyes, reminding myself of all the wonderfully right, moral and noble reasons I'd done what I'd done, grimacing, I paced the room, I was right! If the situation were explained to them, who would be happy to agree with me, I wondered. Just about everybody! Wouldn't God? Would Val? Sitting inside me for weeks, squeezing my heart, the truth I'd summarily suppressed suddenly popped up and as once again, thoughts beginning to churn, I acknowledged I'd made a terrible, ghastly mistake. Using the old routine, I separated myself from the equation, and seen through her mother's eyes, I was wrong. Despite her distress, through all the difficulties, the only person upon whom I could rely to keep faith, to always trust me and whose judgement I respected was Gayle. From everyone around, the only person consistently thinking of me and for me, the one importance was Gayle. And I'd just broken her heart. Between any two people, as long as it was unconditionally-given and they both were happy, love - be it heterosexual, homosexual, incestual or any other `ual'- was their own private concern and no matter how important they considered themselves, of no business of any other person, race, creed, colour, religious denomination or anything else! And through the eyes of The Almighty? Expecting a prompt `you're right!', amazingly, I just couldn't think of an answer. But if Gayle was love to me, the same Love He was purported to be, I'd broken His heart as well. Slumping down in my chair, I realised that in my nobility, just how hideously wrong I was, that whilst I'd lost a true love for ever, into the bargain, I'd very probably lost a fried, a mate. And a daughter. Jumping as I thought I heard Gayle's bell ring, outside the window, a cat mewed. Beset by the empty house's memories of Gayle's laughter, her voice, her scent, of her whispered tendernesses as we'd loved together in this very room, I sat. And remembered. And wept. +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ Chapters 1-6 of this story can be obtained from `list-mcg@bartra.demon.co.uk' Concludes in the September edition of `Electra Magazine' +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ NEXT MONTH: includes another true-account of incest written by an `Electra' Two other stories taken from our Arichive `Viccy' reveals more from her `Incest-Help-Line' mail- bag and asks if incest is geographic?
