My Family, Friends, and Sex – Chapter 9

By Purple Les

It was just like any night Aunt Billie came to visit me and Mom. Except it wouldn’t be. I would have sex with my Mom and my Aunt, my Mom’s sister in-law. I had let my Aunt in. After Aunt Billie hugged and kissed me, I took her coat and hung it up in the closet.

I watched TV while Mom and Aunt Billie chatted in the kitchen. Mom made a tray of cheese and crackers and whatever while Aunt Billie got out wine glasses and opened up a bottle of wine. Then sometime while they chatted and drank and munched I came into the kitchen to hangout because the TV had got boring, just like I always do.

This time though, before I turned off the TV and came in the kitchen, I left the TV on and stood near the kitchen to eavesdrop on them. I had noticed that when they lowered their voices, their conversation was more interesting.

“So come on, Carol, how long have you been licking that five year old pussy?”

“About four months ago, give or take.”

“Tell me everything, please.”

“Okay. You see, Grace was over while the girls were in school. We were having our weekly sex matinee like we do most Wednesdays.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know all that Carol. I’ve been with you too a few times. Either Lucy is home, or taking a nap here while the sex goes on. Now tell me about Lucy and you and Grace.”

“Well, like I was trying to tell you Billie, Grace was over and we were horny, as always.”

“Ha, you know after I have sex with Grace, I’m horny again an hour later.”

“Don’t be an asshole, Billie. Do you want to hear this or not?”

“Sorry, you know I do, go on.”

“So I suggested she put Lucy down for a nap. Well Grace told me that Lucy had told her she had started doing things with Mary. Sex things. Not only did Grace get all the details from Lucy, Grace started playing with Lucy. Sex play. So in a nutshell Billie, Mary and Lucy were figuring out how to have sex fun with each other. Lucy told Grace, and Grace swore Lucy to secrecy. Then besides Grace getting to hear about what the sisters were doing from Lucy, Grace also had sex with Lucy. After Grace told me all this, she suggested we let Lucy join us.”

“Shut the front door, Carol!”

“That was my reaction. I mean it’s one thing for you, me and, Grace to talk about girls while we fuck around, and watch those DVDs you bring, but to have Grace actually offer to let her baby daughter have sex with us, I couldn’t believe it.”

“Did you tell her about Sammie, and Penny, and us?”

“No. I just figured not to get things too involved. I mean, Grace wasn’t doing anything with Mary, I wasn’t doing anything with Katy. I thought it might be best not to tell her about Sue, Penny, Sammie, and you and me right off, you know.”

“Yeah sure, I get it. Now back to your story.”

“Well Grace says to Lucy, ‘You want to watch Mommy and Aunt Carol have some fun?’ I tell you Billie, unlike you, for kids I’ve only ever been with Penny and Sammie, but Lucy is the most eager, horny little girl ever. Why before we even had our clothes off…”

It got quiet. I took a chance and peeked in to the kitchen, and Aunt Billie had started to kiss Mom. They were breaking the kiss, and I moved back again so I wouldn’t be seen.

“Please, Carol, I’m so horny, get her to bed soon, please.”

“Okay, my horny little sister-in-law. Don’t worry, all in good time.”

I turned the TV off so they would know I was going to come in the kitchen.

“Hi, angel,” Mom said, “Going to hang with us old folks?”

I told them there was nothing on TV and I was bored. Then I started to eat some of their snacks.

“Hey! I almost forgot, I have some scratch off lottery tickets.” said Aunt Billie. “Katy come sit on my lap while I scratch mine, you always bring me luck.”

It was funny how Mom and Aunt Billie played the scratch tickets. They made it sound so exciting. Like hey I have two $5,000 and two $1.00 and I still have another scratch, and usually it would be a loser but sometimes they won a dollar and got all excited.

My robe was open and I sat on Aunt Billie’s lap like always. My legs on either side of her legs and her hand on her lap near my pussy while she scratched her tickets. I loved the way it felt, her hand on her lap so close to my pussy. Sometimes like tonight her hand holding the ticket was right against my pussy. Just my pajama bottoms separating her hand and my pussy. Tonight not even that much. My fly on the pajamas was open. I could feel her knuckles on my bare skin down there. She pretended she didn’t notice, but I could tell she did. She took a very long time scratching. The way it shook my legs a little while she used a coin to scratch at the ticket sent another tingle down my back, through my butt and into my pussy.

Aunt Billie’s first ticket was a loser. The second one was a winner, she won $5.00 and was all excited. She kissed the top of my head and said,”Yes! My good luck girl.” My insides felt sort of all melted just from that little kiss. I was afraid I might just have a come without even doing anything.

Mom said, “Hey Katy! How’d you like a fire in the wood stove tonight?” We have a wood stove in the living room but mostly just use it in the fall or spring when it’s too warm for the furnace but still damp in the house. I love to see the flames thru the slats in the stove door, and it gets downright hot in the living room.

“I’d love that!”

“Okay, angel, go get it ready and we’ll be right in.” Then as I left I heard Mom say to Aunt Billie, “The fire always makes her sleepy.” I heard Aunt Billie give a dirty sort of laugh.

I headed down to the basement for the wood. In the summer I love the basement, there is a part that has wood paneling and a tile floor and an old couch. It’s the best room ever on a hot summer day. In the winter though, like tonight, I hated to go down there. The wood was on the other side of the basement, by the furnace and hot water tank past the clothes washer. It gives me the willies to be down over there. I put a block of the fire starter in my robe pocket. I didn’t turn a light on over there cause after I’d picked up wood I wouldn’t be able to turn it out. There was just the stairway light on. As I picked up small and big pieces of wood, I swore I saw shadows moving. It may have been a ghost or a vampire. Yeah. I know. Not real things, maybe, but I got back up stairs as fast as I could and dumped the wood by the stove.

I put in some newspaper, then some small wood and the fire starter. I put some big pieces of wood on top and waited for Aunt Billie and Mom to come in.

“It’s ready to go!” I yelled out and Mom said she would be right there to light it. I love when Mom lights the wood stove up. We knelt together in front of it while the flames got burning hot and bright. Mom kissed my head and closed the door. The door has slats you can adjust, and you could see the fire inside. Mom put on the Christmas lights and turned the lamp off. The glow from the fire and the Christmas lights made the room soft and beautiful.

Aunt Billie came in carrying a glass of wine in each hand for her and Mom. Mom sat by Aunt Billie on the couch, and I sat in the easy chair. They clinked their wine glasses and said ‘cheers’ and had a sip. I let out a big yawn, and not on purpose either.

I just looked at the fire and listened to the grownups chat. They were pretty boring, and I yawned again.

“Golly! It’s hot in here now.” I stood up and took my robe off, then curled back up in the chair.

“‘Golly’!? I had no idea anyone said that for real,” said Aunt Billie more to my Mom than me.

“Oh yeah, Billie. I thinks it’s all the old western shows she watches on TV.”

“You like that old stuff, Katy?” Aunt Billie said to me.

“Yeah I do. I love the horses.” I said.

Then Mom said, “Angel, go in the kitchen please and get the wine bottle for us.”

“Okay Mom,” I said, and as I went toward the kitchen, my pajama bottoms started to come down with each step I took, and by the third step I had to pull them up again before they fell down all the way. I noticed that Mom and Aunt Billie noticed that too.

I carried the bottle with both hands when I came back. Just as I got to the couch my bottoms fell down to my ankles. They couldn’t see nothing ’cause the pajama top came down to the middle of my thighs. We all laughed and I turned around to pull them up and I made sure they got a peak at my butt a little bit.

I sat back on the easy chair and Mom said, “Wow, it is hot in here!”

Aunt Billie said, “Well you have that heavy sweater on, take it off.”

Me and Mom looked at each other and Mom said,”Um, yeah okay.” Well you should have seen Aunt Billie’s face when Mom took it off. You know Mom didn’t have nothing on under it, and there were Mom’s boobs for both of us to see.

Aunt Billie was like all freaked out, sort of. Mom just laughed and I pretended to be surprised. I don’t think Billie knew what to make of it and said, “Okay… you going topless then?”

Mom laughed again and said, “Sure why not? It’s just us girls. You don’t mind do you, Katy?” I pretended I was real surprised that Mom was sitting there half naked, and I said I didn’t mind at all, and then I added they could both go around bare naked for all I cared.

“Well I like that idea just fine,” Mom said, and then she stood up and pulled her jeans down. She sat back down on the couch to pull them all the way off and that left her bare naked. Then she went back to her wine like it was the most normal thing in the world to sit there nude in front of Aunt Billie and me.

I couldn’t help but laugh because of the look on Aunt Billie’s face. “Seriously Carol?” Aunt Billie said.

“Oh don’t be so uptight Billie. We’re all family here. Just us girls. You’ve seen me naked plenty. You don’t mind seeing me naked, do you, Katy?”

“No, I don’t mind at all. Um, you look nice naked.”

“There, you see Billie. Katy doesn’t mind seeing me naked.”

Then they sat there sipping their wine, with Aunt Billie looking back and forth at me and Mom.

“Can I ask you guys something?” I said.

“Sure, angel, what is it?” Mom said.

“Do you guys French kiss each other?”

Now Aunt Billie looked really surprised, and she was really quiet. Mom said, “What do you know about French kissing?”

“Well, Sammie taught me how. It’s real cool, and I did it with Mary too.”

Aunt Billie just sat there, her eyes wide. Mom said, “Well, when did all this happen?”

“The day you guys went out with Aunt Sue, Sammie showed me how. I did it with Mary on New Years Eve, and the day after. You’re not mad, are you?”

“No of course not, angel. What makes you think Aunt Billie and I French kiss.”

“Well you guys sleep together, and I thought maybe you… um, I don’t know, maybe you kissed, that’s all. I mean kissing is fun. I just wondered if you two did it.”

“Come over here, angel, and show me how you French kiss your friend Mary.”

Aunt Billie looked, well, she looked horny to me. I got up and started to walk towards Mom. My pajama bottoms fell down on the way and I just stepped out of them. No one was laughing though. I stepped between Mom’s spread legs. She put her hands on my shoulders and we kissed. Our tongues were going back and forth in each other’s mouth.

I could hear Aunt Billie breathing hard. Mom broke the kiss and said, “Well you do that very well. Yes. In answer to your question before, yes, me and Aunt Billie love to French kiss. Would you like to see?”

“I’d like that a real lot, Mom.”

I stepped back a little, and Mom took Aunt Billie’s glass and set it down on the coffee table. Then she leaned over and started kissing Aunt Billie. Aunt Billie was feeling Mom’s boobies all up. They kissed a long time. Aunt Billie was looking at Mom like I look at Mom and Sammie and Mary. Looking like she loved her more than anything. Mom was kissing all around Aunt Billie’s face, and then Mom said, “Come here, Katy. I think Aunt Billie would like to see you naked, too. Would that be okay, angel? Can I get you naked for us to look at?”

“Yeah. Okay, um, cool,” was all I could say. I stepped back over to Mom. She kissed me again.

“First though angel, give your Aunt Billie a kiss, like you kissed me.” I moved over to my aunt. She leaned forward and we kissed. First kind of shy, our lips brushing, and sort of sizing up each other’s mouths. Then we were kissing with our tongues. We sort of stopped at the same time. It was a real nice kiss. I looked down and I could see that her jeans had a kind of wet spot in the crotch. Mom pulled me back in front of her and started to unbutton my pajama top.

She had the top buttons undone and opened it some so they could both see my little hard nipples. “Feel them.” Mom said looking at Aunt Billie. They both put a finger on a tit and felt them so softly I had a shiver go up my back. Aunt Billie was real close to Mom. She was feeling one of Mom’s tits and one of mine.

Mom undid one more button, and she left the bottom button fastened. Then Mom pushed my top off my shoulders and pulled the sleeves a little and my top fell down my back and hips and down my legs. I was bare naked in front of my Aunt Billie and my Mom. Aunt Billie was sitting back now and looking at me up and down.

I walked back over to the easy chair. I sat down with one foot on the floor and my other leg draped over the arm of the chair. “Mom, I’m really horny. Would it be okay to just play with myself right here?”

“Sure, angel. Go right ahead.”

“Mom? Shouldn’t Aunt Billie be naked too?” I asked as I started to move my finger up and down my little bare pussy. Aunt Billie was just staring at me, with her mouth open.

“Yes, angel, she should be.”

I played with myself while I watched Mom kiss and start to undress my Aunt. I put my middle finger in my pussy up to the first knuckle. I was pretty gooey already. Mom and Aunt Billie were standing up now. Aunt Billie was just in her panties now. Mom was sort of next to her but behind her. She was kissing my Aunt, and had her hand down the front of my Aunt’s panties, rubbing around under them. Even though I had just done so much sex stuff with Mom that afternoon, I was all super horny again.

They were both beautiful, but I guess you would say apples and oranges. Their bodies were nice but different. Mom’s body looked more like, well like Sophia Loren when she was young. I guess you wouldn’t know who that is unless you see all those old movies on TV like I do. Aunt Billie’s body reminded me more of Emma Watson if she were a little older. Then Mom pulled down Aunt Billie’s panties.

Aunt Billie’s pussy was as bare as mine. Not a hair on it that I could see. It was as bare as Mary’s or Lucy’s little pussies. But it sure didn’t look like our kid pussies. It looked sort of between Mom’s and Sammie’s pussies. Aunt Billie’s pussy had bigger pussy lips than Sammie’s pussy, but not as big as Moms. I guess maybe ’cause Aunt Billie never had a baby come out of her pussy like I had come out of my Mom’s.

They were sitting on the couch again. They had their legs spread and a leg over each other, and they were rubbing each other’s pussy. They were both watching me masturbate. I couldn’t stop looking at Aunt Billie’s pussy.

I got on the floor and went over to the couch on my hands and knees like a cat or dog would walk. I sat in front of Aunt Billie with my behind resting on the heels of my feet. I put my hands on Aunt Billie’s knees, and moved her one leg further over. I was watching Mom’s fingers move all over my Aunt’s pussy, and then I said, “Aunt Billie, please let me lick your pussy. Please, may I?”

I don’t think I really waited to hear an answer. The next thing I knew I was just putting my face closer to her pussy. Then I was licking it like crazy. I put a couple fingers inside her too while I licked her pussy lips, and then I started doing the ABC’s on her clit, except I just spelled A-U-N-T-B-I-L-L-I-E over and over with my tongue on her clit. I ended up just sort of sucking her clit. I couldn’t hear what she was saying ’cause her thighs were pressed against my ears. She pushed my head away after awhile and I lay on the floor looking up at her and Mom. Mostly, though, I couldn’t tear my eyes from Aunt Billie’s pussy.

I don’t remember a lot. I remember Mom had got my sleeping bag from my room and opened it all up and spread it on the floor. We were all on it. I remember I had my hands and mouth all over both grownups. I remember they were both all over me. I had more than one come, a lot more. I remembered all of us just laying there saying dirty things and laughing and touching. Mom told Aunt Billie all about what had happened with me and her that afternoon. It seemed so long ago. It was just hours ago, though.

I guess what I remember best was them kissing me back and forth while the other licked my pussy. It ended up with Aunt Billie making me come while Mom kissed me. They lay together kissing and pulling each other’s tits, while I went back and forth on their pussies. They were saying really dirty stuff like, ‘Make your Aunt come on your face.’ and, ‘Mommy’s gonna come so hard, my little fuck angel.’ After I’d licked them both back and forth a long time, I got up on my knees. In each of their pussies I put three fingers. I rubbed their clits with my thumb. I finger fucked them with my middle three, and my pinkie finger poked each of their assholes. They told me to say something real dirty. Okay, if you really want to know they had me say real loud, ‘Come on me, you fucking girl whore bitches!’ There was more that I couldn’t remember how to say, but it didn’t matter ’cause they came real hard together right then.

We all went at various times to go freshen up in the bathroom.

Later, we sat naked in the kitchen, eating and drinking. We were back out in the living room after. All of us were saying we’d had enough sex. Then Mom opened the wood stove and stirred the embers and put in another log. We just lay on the sleeping bag on the floor. It was hot again. I was glad we were all still naked. Aunt Billie turned on our DVD player and put in a disc.

The first thing on it was about a dozen girls from like 7 to 17 years old. I guessed it was a beauty contest sort of thing. First they came out one by one in dresses. Then they came out in swimsuits. I figured they would announce the winner after that. But then they came out one by one bare naked. I couldn’t believe it. I had looked for naked girls on the internet sometimes but there was nothing. Now we were watching girls stand around naked with each other. Then they showed the people who were watching, and everyone was naked. I loved seeing all the girls naked, my favorite one didn’t win the contest, though.

The next thing on the disc was something old. There wasn’t any sound. It reminded me of the ‘Brady Bunch’. I mean the clothes and hair did. It was a girl about my age. She was on a bed reading, and this young woman comes in, maybe her Mom or big sister. They hug and kiss and then the woman looks at the girl’s magazine. I guess it’s dirty. They lay on the bed together looking at it and they get horny, and then they get naked and have sex. Then a much older woman comes in the room. She seems mad and she makes them go in the living room bare naked. Then she gets naked too and they all have sex.

The next thing I knew, even though we all had sort of tired pussies, we were all making love again. After that, Mom covered me up in the sleeping bag and gave me a pillow off the couch, and I fell asleep watching the fire.

In the morning I woke up without my eyes opening. I could tell it was light out. I could smell coffee. I stretched and turned onto my back. I let out a really loud fart. I heard laughing. I opened my eyes and saw Mom and Aunt Billie on the couch. They were laughing at my fart. “Such a little lady, just like her mother,” laughed Aunt Billie.

“Hi, angel.” said Mom. I lay there looking at them. They were both drinking coffee. They were both in their robes, and their hair was wet. They both smelled nice. They were fresh from the shower. From where I was laying I tried to pull their robes open to see their pussies. They laughed.

“Katy, go get cleaned up. Take a shower, and then I’ll make breakfast for all of us,” instructed Mom. I got up out of the sleeping bag. I stood bare naked in front of my mom and aunt and stretched some more. I liked them seeing me naked. Then I noticed how funky I was. I had women cum all over me. I had to go pee bad, too. I headed for the bathroom and someone smacked my butt when I went by the couch.

I made sure the bathroom door was locked. I didn’t feel like my mom doing some pee game again. As I sat and peed, I started to poop too. While I sat there, I noticed the pinch mark on my arm I’d given myself was fading. I wiped my butt and flushed the toilet. In the shower I washed myself real good and washed my hair too. While I dried off, I thought about all that had happened to me in just a few days.

Sex with my sixteen-year-old cousin Sammie. Seeing Sammie have sex with my Mom. Finding out that the girls and women in my family like to have sex with each other. Then me having sex with my best friend Mary, and then with her little sister too.

And just yesterday I had sex with my Mom. Then with my mom and aunt. I overheard how Mom had sex with Mrs. Tran, Mary’s Mom. Now I knew all about my Mom and Mrs. Tran and her five year old daughter having sex together. I liked all that. I wanted to be in on it. I wanted Mary to be in on it, too.

I walked back out to the living room bare naked. I bent over at the waist to pick my robe up. I made sure the grownups got a good long look at my bare ass and my pussy.

Mom went to start breakfast, and I snuggled against Aunt Billie on the couch.

We had breakfast at the kitchen table. After I helped Mom clean up the kitchen, we all went back in the living room. Aunt Billie said,”This is for you, Carol” and she handed Mom the laptop computer she always carried. “Welcome to the twenty-first century. I got myself a new tablet for Christmas. I want you to have my old laptop. I’ll hook up a WiFi for you as soon as I finish this coffee.”

Mom was all like, you didn’t need to do that and so on. I said,”Does this thing play thumb drives?”

“Sure Katy, it does everything. I’ll show you and your Mom how to work it after I set up the WiFi.”

I thought to myself I’d have to start working on the Chinese puzzle box I was holding onto for Mary.

It was a nice day just hanging out with Mom and Aunt Billie, and it flew by. Aunt Billie set up the WiFi without too much swearing. She showed us how to work the laptop, and as evening came, I asked if we could watch the DVD again and have more sex. Aunt Billie laughed and said that would be great, but she had to head home soon. Mom brushed my hair off my face with her fingers and said, “You have school tomorrow, angel, and me and Aunt Billie have to go back to work.”

I felt like crying. The holidays were over. That night while I lay in bed with my sock monkey Ingrid, I tried to open the puzzle box. Mom came up to tuck me in. She sat on the edge of the bed and asked if I was okay with everything that had happened. “Best Christmas holiday ever!” I told her. I had a few questions about sex stuff, and she answered them.

“Mom? Do you know how to open this?” She kissed my head.

“It has sliding panels on it. You have to find the first panel and slide it open. Then there are more to find. You have to find the right order to slide them in. Then the box will open.”

She took the box from me and put it on the headboard shelf. She tucked me and Ingrid in tight, kissed me, and said, “Sweet dreams, angel.” She turned off the lamp and went downstairs. I didn’t even think about school the next day. I just fell fast asleep.

Silver Lining, Chapter 2

  • Posted on June 29, 2017 at 12:43 pm

By Cassie

Justine woke up with a start — hot, flushed, and feeling incredibly horny. She hadn’t had an erotic dream for months, years even. And this one; this strange lesbian dream with her old childhood doll Pip mysteriously come to life, seemed to have strange undertones of incest about it.

Justine lay on the bed trying to think about the dream, to analyse it in her usual fashion, but eventually she succumbed to the desperate need to masturbate. She got up, walked to the shower unit and absently grabbed her long-handled hairbrush as she went. She held the hairbrush loosely in her hand as she stepped naked into the cubicle and turned on the water, patiently adjusting the temperature so that it was hot, but not scalding. She gripped and loosened the hairbrush in her hand. It had a slightly bulbous end, ridged and indented like a scored golf ball, and a longish handle leading to the brush. It had grown to be one of the things she used as a sex toy when aroused and in a hurry.

The shower gel made her skin soapy and slippery, and it was then that she leaned back against the wall of the cubicle, water spraying gently over her. She began to rub the tip of her hairbrush with the heavily scored edges against the soft and sensitive hood of her clitoris, moaning a little as the first wave of eroticism began to build within her. She used the fingers of her left hand to spread open the soft folds of her labia, then worked the handle of the hairbrush inside herself as she began to orgasm. In sexual matters, Justine had always been blessed with two things: the ability to orgasm quickly — within minutes, sometimes, when she felt very horny with David — and her capacity for sexual activity.

Although she was not adventurous with her own sexual explorations, Justine had always been a willing sexual partner. On occasion, when she was very horny, Justine liked to be tied or restrained a little, and didn’t mind at all if she were spanked. She also liked to be filled, and had once been stretched so far that David had slipped his whole hand inside her.

She remembered that time now and, thinking about it, removed the hairbrush from herself and reached up, grabbing the much larger, dome-capped shampoo bottle. It was not an obvious sex toy, being a little more than two inches wide down the mainly cylindrical bottle. But Justine was feeling very horny and began to work the large bottle inside herself.

She closed her eyes, feeling and hearing the splash of the water around her, thinking about sex. She tried to think about David, but his face wouldn’t come. She tried to think about others in her masturbation fantasy — the airline assistant Rosa whose short blond hair Justine had touched and caressed as they kissed outside Columbus Bar. But the woman’s image wouldn’t come either. She tried thinking about Pip, but could only see in her mind’s eye the inert, lifeless doll of her memory, not the vibrant, wanton and utterly irresistible young girl of her recent dream. She even tried thinking of Jan, the dark-haired girl by the pool, laughing and smiling with that crooked smile of hers and taking off the bikini she wore to ask Justine to rub oil onto her skin.

But, in the end, as her orgasm grew and deepened, Justine saw within her mind a sexual nobody — a formless, faceless figure with thick hair, a slim lissome figure and outstretched arms. She imagined being embraced by those arms, kissing red lips, and touching soft, secret places on another’s body. She imagined the hands of a woman caressing her, enfolding her and touching her most intimate places. She imagined—

“Oh! Oh! Yes!! Oh—”

Justine did not remember what she called out as the powerful wave of orgasm hit her. She only remembered having nearly swallowed the shampoo bottle entirely within her vagina as that wonderful, frightening moment of orgasm stretched time itself. She remembered desperately pushing the large bottle out of her body, and the feeling of glorious sexual release as it slid out between her pussy lips and into her hand. She rubbed vigorously at her sensitized clit as the bottle came free, feeling wave after wave after wave of pleasure flush her body.

Eventually, after recovering and soaping herself once again, she got out of the shower, wondering why the image of an unknown, unseen woman was the most powerful one in her masturbation fantasy.

She dressed lightly, in a short summer skirt and blouse, and went down to the pool to find Jan. She had more questions to ask the enigmatic Portuguese girl. A lot more questions.

*****

Jan was not there. Nor, according to the hotel reception desk, in her room.

“I’m sorry,” said the clerk. “There’s no answer at all.” He put down the receiver, having twice called Jan’s room at Justine’s insistence.

Justine thought for a moment, tapping her manicured fingernail on top of the desk. “What room is she in?” she asked.

The man instinctively reached behind him, then stopped, turning round. “Am sorry,” he said, in his heavily accented voice. “I cannot tell room numbers. Is security.”

“That’s okay,” said Justine, smiling brightly for him, and waving a hand in dismissal. Besides, she had already seen his hand hover over the key for room C12. Justine turned around, and left the reception. She would find Jan herself.

But throughout that day, she did not see the dark-haired Portuguese woman. She gave up, after a light lunch in a tavern near the sea front, and went shopping instead, finding a few trinkets for herself and her friends. Buying them, she couldn’t help thinking about those mysterious birth parents and the even more tantalizing prospect of a sister. Were they real? The conversations she’d had with Jan had somehow materialized them in Justine’s head. She felt a renewed energy to find them, discover who they were.

Reaching the point where she had too many bags to carry, Justine quit the markets and went back to her hotel to drop them off and take a rest before going out to dinner. As she went into the hotel, she asked again at the desk if Jan was in. The clerk there tried once more and, once more, got no reply. Justine wrote a short note, and asked the clerk to leave it for Jan. Then she went back to her modest room and collapsed on the bed, closing her eyes for a few moments.

The telephone bell was a harsh ringing alarm that woke her out of her slumber with a start. Justine rolled over the bed and picked up the receiver, long strands of red hair getting in her eyes.

“Hello?”

“Ms Holloway, you have a call,” said the clerk. Justine sat up and rubbed her eyes. A call? Her immediate thought was that David had somehow tracked her down and was now badgering her and pestering her about his blonde mistress. But when the phone line clicked, and a new voice filled the earpiece, Justine relaxed.

“I never answer the phone,” said the voice on the other end of the line. Justine smiled, recognizing Jan’s voice already despite their very recent acquaintance. “When on holiday, at least. That is why it seemed I was out.”

“Yeah, I should have guessed. Maybe I should have done the same.”

“Ha! Too late. You’re a serial phone answerer, I can tell already!”

Justine smiled again, glad of a friendly voice.

“I got your note,” said Jan. “And wondered if you still wanted to go, or if it’s too late?”

“Too late? I—”

And then Justine recalled that she had penned a short note for Jan, asking if the Portuguese woman wanted to share her company for dinner that night. Justine also realized, with a start, that she had fallen into a much deeper sleep than she expected, and that the day had long slipped away. The digital clock on her bedside table read 20:54 and, seeing that, Justine felt the twin sensations of mild panic and rumbling hunger.

“Ohmyygosh! I didn’t realize — Give me five minutes. I’ll meet you by reception.”

“Okay. Bye.”

Justine rubbed her eyes, went into the bathroom and splashed her face with water. Then she changed clothes, pulling on a long white gypsy skirt, a turquoise blue vest top and light summer shirt before donning sandals, grabbing her handbag before she left.

When she got down to reception, Jan was waiting for her; dressed in three-quarter length trousers, a white and pink top, with her dark hair gathered up in a ponytail. She looked very 1950’s American. The two women embraced and kissed briefly, on the cheek.

“Hey,” Jan said, squeezing Justine’s hand. “You were pretty out of it, weren’t you?”

“Yeah,” Justine said. “It’s this late summer sun. Makes me sleepy.”

“Hungry?”

“You bet. Know anywhere good to eat?”

*****

The two women went into town and, after having a gorgeous seafood meal at a little backstreet restaurant Jan had discovered, moved on to a bar in the old quarter of town and sat drinking long, tall cocktails until the early hours. It seemed they had no end of subjects to talk about, but eventually, as though they had gravitated toward it, they talked about Jan’s involvement with her sister-sister website, and the whole concept of sexual love between siblings.

“I’ve heard from a few women who say they’ve enjoyed sex with their brothers,” said Jan.

“They were raped?”

“No. At least I don’t think so. I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in women.”

“Obviously!” said Justine, butting in. The two women giggled.

“In women who share a consensual love with their sister. I’ve been amazed at how many wonderful, strong women there are who have admitted this.”

“It seems unreal to me. Still. That two siblings — two sisters — would want to have sex with each other.”

“But it’s never as simple as that,” said Jan. “I’ve never had someone just e-mail me and say ‘Hi, Jan. I’m a beautiful twenty-something, and me and my twin sister have been fucking happily for years’. It just doesn’t happen like that.”

“So how does it happen?”

“Usually,” said Jan, pausing to sip her drink, “the hard way. Like all stories of love, sex between sisters can be a very painful and damaging thing, even when it’s consensual. But that’s not to say it’s wrong, or people should repress such feelings.”

“And if your sister suddenly told you she had feelings for you?”

Jan smiled. “She wouldn’t. She’s very happily married, and not gay.”

“But if she did anyway,” Justine said, pressing for an answer. “If she were still single, and a lesbian?”

“She would have to be a lesbian?” said Jan. This threw Justine somewhat.

“Well, yeah. I mean, she’d have to be—”

“A lesbian? You want to pigeonhole all of us together?”

Justine was confused. Sexual love between sisters meant they had to be lesbians, or at least ‘lez-curious’, surely? How could they not be? It was a prerequisite for the situation, right?

She voiced these thoughts to Jan, who only smiled sadly and shrugged. “Do you not think the path to love is sometimes a very rocky place?”

“Oh, yes,” said Justine, dripping with heavy irony. “Very.”

“And so, would it not be even more difficult if two sisters had feelings for each other that were a) believed to be immoral and incestuous, and b) opposite to their sexual preference?”

The thought struck Justine like a blow. She had not considered the complexity, or difficulty, of such a thing. She had assumed, up until that point, that all incestuous relationships were immoral and wrong, and had also assumed that all relationships between same-sex partners meant that they were homosexual.

“But that can’t be,” she said, rather unconvincingly.

“Why not? I have read accounts from women who say they have no homosexual desires whatsoever, and indeed have ordinary relationships with men or husbands, and yet feel strong sexual desires to their sisters, or close female relatives. How can this be easily explained?”

It could not, and Justine accepted that. She was about to ask more when her ear caught the tune of a new song being played, one that reminded her of her teenage clubbing years, and she put down her drink, smiling.

“Gotta dance!” she said brightly. She moved out into the small throng of people dancing in the centre of the floor, and started to move with the music. Jan left both hers and Justine’s handbags behind the bar, then moved out, joining her English friend on the dance floor.

Several dance tracks later and the girls were hot and thirsty. They drank some cold water first, then had one more cocktail before going back to the hotel.

They arrived, arm in arm, singing the tune of American Pie — which neither knew all the words to — both feeling lightheaded. That was when Justine made a mistake.

“Hey,” she said, smiling and whirling to take hold of both of Jan’s hands. “Do you want to come to my room for a bit?”

Jan smiled, but shook her head. “No, I am too tired. I need to go to sleep. I have to pack tomorrow.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow?” said Justine, sad that her new friend was leaving so soon. “Jan, don’t go. Stay a few more days. Till the weekend.”

Jan smiled sadly. “I can’t. But this has been great fun!”

Justine bit her lower lip. “Stay with me tonight?”

There was an awkward pause, and Jan reached out to stroke the side of Justine’s face. “Thank you. It’s very flattering, and you’re very pretty. But I must sleep, and get ready to go home.”

Justine, ignoring this, leaned forward to kiss her new friend. Jan turned her head at the last moment, as their lips almost met, and hugged Justine instead.

“Keep in touch with me, Justine,” she whispered into the Englishwoman’s ear. Justine felt her new friend hold her tight for a moment, and then she left.

Feeling a little dejected, but suddenly tired, Justine stumbled back to her room and, within minutes, fell asleep on her bed.

She awoke late into the morning, with a bad hangover, and began the slow process of recovery; starting with lots of water, then coffee. By the time she went down to the reception to ask about Jan, the enigmatic Portuguese woman had already checked out.

Justine spent the last few days of her holiday quietly, soaking up the late summer sun and finding the time, at last, to relax properly. But one thing she could not shake was the persistent strange dreams she’d been having about her childhood, mixed with dark erotic thoughts. Nor could she dismiss the idea that she had to trace what she could of her birth family. It suddenly seemed more important than ever.

The flight back home was uneventful and, for the first week back at work, Justine managed to forget about the bizarre yet intriguing conversations she’d had with Jan. David had moved his things out of her flat, and the only communication she’d had with him was a series of curt, almost aggressive e-mails where he suggested that they try to patch things up so that he could “explain things” to her, and where Justine suggested he could go fuck himself — or his blonde mistress, if she’d still have him. He didn’t press the point.

It was on the second week that Justine was prompted into action. And it was a spam e-mail, of all things, that did it. She’d logged on, delighted to have received an e-mail a few days earlier from Jan, and was hoping for a further one when she decided to clear her spam e-tray. By chance, the top e-mail caught her eye. She didn’t open it, but stared at the title for a long while.

NEED HELP LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL ONE? read the title. The sender was named “Amanda Pullen”. It was probably junk of the lowest matchmaking variety. And yet.

Amanda. The other name relating to her birth parents that Justine had found. Was it her sister? Did Justine really need help finding out for sure?

She decided, right there and then, to take some leave from work. Her boss was understanding, given that she too knew about Justine’s break-up with David. And Justine, wasting no further time, spent the next few days researching the best way to find out about her long lost family. For some reason, although she knew more notionally about her birth parents, it was the promise of a long lost sister—this unknown “Amanda” which drove her on.

A week into her research, Justine had unearthed many new details about her parents. Her father, Walter, had died nine years ago, with heart failure recorded as the cause of death. A year later, Mary had emigrated to Australia and could not be traced, beyond a hint that she was living near Adelaide. The Jacksons, Justine’s birth parents, had left a house in Ashford, Kent, but that had been sold going on eight years ago.

But about her possible sister, this other daughter of Mary and Walter Jackson, Justine had found nothing.

Frustration began to set in, and Justine felt herself staring down a chasm of depression. She’d sent out hundreds of e-mails to various companies and individuals, in the hope of tracking down someone or something to give her a new lead.

After two weeks of fruitless searching, she went back to work. She refused offers from her girlfriends to go out for a drink, and also refused a dinner date with Marco; one of the newer guys in the administrative division. He was cute, no doubt, but Justine was in no mood for socializing, and people quickly saw that. Justine felt her depression getting worse, and would find herself some evenings crying whilst watching the TV, clutching onto a cushion and not knowing why she was sobbing so hard.

One silver lining to her current state was the occasional e-mails she got from Jan. Justine had browsed Jan’s internet site Sisters in Love and read some of the testimonials and forum topics, but had not contributed anything herself. She found some of the stories there fairly wild, but many of them were incredibly moving. These were women who had not only the strength to live through their incestuous feelings, but to share them with others.

It was November 15, in the commercial build-up to the Christmas season, when Justine received an e-mail that would change her life. It was marked as “Unknown Sender” and automatically placed in her spam e-tray. She was going through her e-mails, ready to delete them all, when her eye caught the e-mail title:

WALTER AND MARY JACKSON

Justine stopped, feeling that incredible sensation of butterflies as her finger hovered over the “Open” key. Of course, it could be a piece of spam, turned around from one of the many she’d sent out. But there was something undeniably desperate about her search for her lost family, so Justine opened the e-mail and read the short message:

Hello. You don’t know me, but your e-mail was sent to me by a company tracing old family names. I’m not sure if this is going to help you in your search, but my father is named Walter Jackson, and my mother’s middle name is Mary, though no one ever called her that. My dad died some years ago, and my mum left England. I don’t know who Amanda Jackson might be, but I’ve always had as a keepsake from my father a copper bracelet with the name ‘Mandy’ engraved on it. This may or may not help you, but I’d be happy to talk more about it.

The e-mail was signed by “Kelly Bracken,” who supplied her phone number.

Justine read the e-mail several times, then began laughing and crying, at the same time. She felt elated, like she’d won the biggest prize at school or the best bonus at work, then suddenly scared about what to do next. Part of her wanted to ring up Kelly Bracken immediately, and part of her wanted to square it all away; rationalize that her parents had gone, and that so had Amanda.

Then another thought struck her: could this Kelly Bracken actually be her mysterious Amanda?

Once the idea made itself known, Justine held it at arm’s distance. Don’t get your hopes up too high, she told herself. Maybe she is, maybe not. Are you even certain that these are your birth parents? If you put too much hope in this and it doesn’t pan out, you’ll be completely undone.

Elated, yet frustrated, she decided to sleep on the matter and hope for some kind of inspiration.

*****

Justine was sitting yet again at her school desk, scratching geometric designs into the wooden surface. It was one of those old-fashioned school desks with a lift-up lid and an inkwell at the back. She was bored, and could only hear Mr Everrard’s voice drone indistinctly as he talked about the end of the Tudor period.

Pip was sitting on the desk beside her; sitting on the knee of Kevin Bradman and snogging him relentlessly. Her doll’s legs were draped over Kevin’s thighs, and her arms hung limp at her side, just as a good doll’s arms should. But her red-painted cheeks, usually so uniform, were flushed with sexual excitement as she and Kevin kissed and kissed.

Justine was bored. She didn’t like Kevin, and she resented Pip snogging him so much.

“Well, why don’t you snog me instead?” said Pip, swinging free of Kevin, who disappeared along with the rest of the classroom. Justine sighed and walked over to the window by her room, staring out at the red-dappled leaves on the autumn trees in her garden.

“Because it’s wrong,” she said, stubbornly.

“Hmph. It’s only wrong because you’ve never kissed a doll before.”

“Of course I’ve kissed you before,” said Justine, smiling, and thinking of the times gone by when she and Pip shared an intimate kiss in bed together.

“So why not now? Aren’t I pretty enough?” Pip said, pouting her pretty doll’s face.

“Oh, of course you’re pretty,” said Justine, coming over to lay her hand on Pip’s cheek, feeling the soft warmth of her doll’s woven skin. “Much prettier than me.”

“No, I’m not!” said Pip, hotly. The doll reached out and adjusted the towel at the side of the pool they were both lying beside. Justine was not surprised to recall that it was the pool at the hotel where she stayed in Portugal. Pip let her doll’s hand drift over to Justine’s body and began to caress her childhood playmate’s thighs. “We’re just the same, you and I,” Pip remarked, allowing her hand to travel between Justine’s hot thighs. “We’re practically sisters.”

Justine felt Pip’s soft hand delve beneath the fabric of her bikini, and sighed, closing her eyes to the sweet, erotic sensations the doll was giving her.

“Like sisters,” she echoed, opening her legs and feeling Pip move closer to her.

*****

Justine woke up horny. Again. She showered, went to work and then came back, feeling distracted all that day.

That evening, after wrangling with the subject in her head, Justine composed an e-mail reply to Kelly Bracken, asking if she could phone her the next evening. The reply, when it came a couple of hours later, was short and to the point;

I left you my number.
Call anytime after 7.
Kelly

Justine sighed and finished the bottle of wine she’d opened before going to bed. She slept deeply, with no recollection of her dreams.

The next day, she could not wait for seven o’clock to arrive and, when it eventually did, she found that she couldn’t pick up her phone to dial the number. She had to remind herself that this might be her sister, possibly just a link to her parents, perhaps a clue to finding out who Amanda really was… or another dead end.

Anything was possible.

It was that thought, more than anything, that gave her the strength to call. For Justine, finding out about Amanda had become an obsession that she simply had to resolve.

“Hello?”

“….”

“Hello?”

“Is, uh, is that Kelly Bracken?”

“Yes, who’s speaking?”

“It’s, um, it’s Justine Holloway. You sent me a reply to my e-mail about—”

“Oh, yes, hi! You called. I didn’t think you would call!”

The voice was sweet, quite young, and a little on the rough side as far as Justine knew anything about voices.

“Huh. Yeah, I feel a bit silly really, calling you and and bothering you…”

“Oh, it’s no bother. You’ve just saved me from another bloody episode of Eastenders. You could slit your wrists watching that stuff. So how are you? I mean, who are you…?”

Justine barely knew where to begin. And, after twenty minutes of almost constant chatter about nothing in particular, Justine closed the call with a smile on her face. And an invitation to meet Kelly the next weekend. She felt light-headed and dizzy, like a teenager waiting for her first hot date.

She’d felt the temptation to find out, then and there, if Kelly was her actual birth sister… but in the end, couldn’t bring herself to ask such intimate questions over the phone. Too impersonal. She had to meet this woman face to face.

Justine couldn’t wait for the weekend to arrive.
