She's got a good job and two great children. There's no man in her life, but then she doesn't think she needs one. Everything is going along just fine... until she agrees to chaperone the football team on a trip out of town. She learns things about her children and herself, that will change everything.

And then something comes along to shake that world view up and everything just goes to hell in a handbasket. That's what this story tries to catch the flavor of. *** Claire Richardson was excited as she boarded the school bus. She didn't take the time to examine that feeling, even though she was thirty-three years old and was on her way to a High School football tournament. She just enjoyed the thrills that were coursing through her body as she bounced up the steps and entered a tiny world of controlled chaos. The noise hit her like a falling wall as she turned the corner to face fifty-some-odd students, all of whom seemed to be shouting at the top of their lungs. Most of them were boys, a few of whom she knew because her son, Bobby, had brought them to the house for one meal or another, or because they had dated her daughter, Lori. No one seemed to notice her at first, though, whether they knew her or not. The boys were thinking about the upcoming games. The girls were clustered in little groups that cheerleaders always seemed to sort themselves into. They weren't exactly cliques, because the girls were a team of sorts too, but they had natural tendencies to hang with the other girls who were most like them. Had Claire stopped to examine the feelings coursing through her body, she might have recognized them as being remarkably like sexual feelings. She might have noticed that her panties were a little damp, and that her nipples had spiked through the cream colored silk blouse she should have known better than to wear to a sporting event weekend. But she hadn't had time to change after work. She was dressed for business, and a charcoal wool skirt slung to her hips, making the jut of her breasts seem larger than they actually were. She wasn't ignored for long. Had Claire examined the faces of all those teenagers, she might have noticed that a lot of the boys' eyes lingered on her as she waded slowly through the crowd, lugging her bag behind her, looking for her own children. Or she might have noticed the frowns of some of the girls as THEY noticed who the boys were looking at with that look in their eyes that made the girls get wary and careful. But it had been a long time since Claire had been in an atmosphere charged so heavily with teen hormones, and the spirit of impending "combat", and she'd forgotten how it affected a person. She'd shut away her own feelings for the last ten years after her husband had said two screaming kids wasn't what he had in mind as his future. Back when Claire was in High School, she had fought off all the boys, looking to her future and wanting to save her virginity for the man who she knew would sweep her off her feet. It was made more difficult by the fact that she was a cheerleader. She played the field in college too, but when the team won a big game, and a frat on campus threw them a victory party, she had perhaps one too many wine coolers. The star of the game was a boy named Denny, and he had convinced her to give him a kiss because they had won. Denny's kisses had set her on fire. Her resolve to stay a virgin seeped away like the fluid in her bottle when it was knocked over as he got her to lie down with him on a bed in a darkened room. And it HAD been glorious. She hadn't had any idea how wonderful a stiff penis would feel stroking the walls of her vagina and scraping along her enflamed clit. Her almost instant addiction to that feeling had led to her lying naked under him time and again. The fact that he'd knocked her up while they were both sophomores in college and that she'd agreed to marry him even though she liked several other boys more had been conveniently ignored when she found out the first boy to get into her panties had made her pregnant. She'd wanted to believe they were in love and nothing either of their parents had said against the marriage had sunk in. And, truth be told, things hadn't been so bad at first. But when he'd gotten her pregnant again within a year and the money troubles had started, and he'd had to take two jobs, and couldn't party with his buddies, he'd thrown in the towel. Claire had been left to finish college and raise Lori and Bobby by herself, with a little help from her parents now and then. So SHE was the one who had to take three jobs, and forego dating or any social relationships outside her jobs. And her determination had finally led her to find something she was good at. She'd taken an entry level job at a bank, and had worked her way up to being the manager of the loan department for the bank. Her single-minded devotion to her two children had resulted in success in the business world, and a comfortable living for them all. But it was at the cost of her social life, as she deflected the well meaning... and some not-so-well-meaning advances of the men she ran into in that business world. She knew she was beautiful and desirable. She cultivated that appearance, because it had helped her succeed in the banking business. She was aware that she was attractive, and that people saw her as a sexual being - both men and women - but she viewed that side of her as a tool, used only to seal a deal, and not to pursue personal enjoyment. Her fingers did for her what she thought her body needed occasionally, and she had grown so used to the convenience of being able to grab a quick orgasm now and then that she had unconsciously held herself aloof from any relationships with a man that might have been vastly more satisfying. It was almost an accident that she had met Coach Bondurant, or "Chuck" as he demanded she call him. She knew he was her son's football coach, because Bobby talked about him like he was a legend. But, when he applied for a loan to buy a house in Hillsdale, where she lived, and, because he was single and young, with a sparse credit history, his file was brought to her for approval. She had decided to meet him in person. That he was five years younger than she was something she noticed, but didn't dwell on. He had a good job, and, as far as she could tell, was good at that job, so she had approved the loan. Having been turned down by two other banks his thanks had been effusive, and her casual "You coach my son Bobby" had generated praise for her as a mother. That was what made her give him another look. Being a mother was her pride and joy. And that look had turned into a chat, and that chat had resulted in his solicitation for her to be a sponsor for the regional championships that the team was going to attend. When he explained that the team, along with their supporting cheerleaders, would be staying in a motel for several nights, and that adults were needed to chaperone them, and that the cheerleading coach was eight months pregnant and couldn't go, and that he was having a hard time getting a female to agree to come along for the ride, Claire made one of those snap decisions that she had learned to trust. She agreed to do it. There had been little time to plan or think about things before it was time to pack her bag and get in her Lexus to drive to the school. Bobby and Lori had already made arrangements and were already gone as she backed out of the driveway and drove to Hillsdale High School. She was thinking about trips SHE had taken as a cheerleader almost twenty years ago. She had seen what some of the cheerleaders did with the players when adults weren't watching. And she knew well what football players were like. "Denny the Derailer", her former husband, was a linebacker who had battered down her defenses as effectively as he battered down the defenses around the quarterbacks he sacked. She hadn't thought about Denny for a long time, moving on with her life. He dropped a card to the kids once in a while, but neither of them had ever seen him once they got old enough to remember him. They knew who he was, but had no real feeling for him. The three of them, Claire and her two children, had poured all their affection into their little family. Maybe it was the remembrance of that wild night when she lost her virginity... and got pregnant with Bobby... that re-awoke the emotions coursing through her as she boarded the bus that day. If so, she wasn't aware that she was excited in the same way she'd been excited that fateful night so long ago. All she knew was that she was excited, and she was having fun BEING excited. There hadn't been much excitement in her life for a long time. At any rate, as she bumped and jostled her way down the aisle of the bus, pushing past students, looking for her children, she looked like she felt. She was a woman who made the boys turn their heads toward her, admiring the thrust of her breasts through the silk blouse, including the prominent nipples that pushed through her thin Victoria's Secret bra. She saw Bobby and Lori sitting together in a seat toward the back of the bus and an even warmer feeling raced through her. They were talking to each other animatedly, obviously fond of each other, and that made her feel good. So many brothers and sisters fought constantly, but that was something she didn't have to put up with. And there were other students involved with them, leaning over the back of the seat in front of them, or standing beside them. They were obviously popular. It made her feel successful as a parent. Lori saw her first and smiled widely as she waved. She stood up and called out "Hi Mom!" As Lorie's voice pierced the cacophony of sound teenagers looked to see Claire making her way slowly toward them. She heard one boy say "That's your mom? Wow!" That simple comment, made by a boy young enough to be her son, caused Claire to blush. The compliment that, from an older man would have been shrugged off as normal, jarred her into thinking about her attractiveness in a different way than she usually did. There was a strange mix of emotions that flooded through her as she thought briefly about the irony of the fact that a mere boy's positive appraisal of her appearance meant something to her, while the same thing from a man would have been deflected like a poorly thrown pass. "Mom!" Claire's eyes darted to her daughter's face, which was showing a mix of surprise and embarrassment. Lori was looking at her mother's breasts. Claire looked down and saw immediately what Lori was embarrassed about. Claire had very prominent nipples most of the time, and they were advertising their presence plainly. The woman in her was proud of them. The mother in her immediately recognized that her daughter would think she was improperly dressed. Never mind the fact that Lori had inherited her mother's nipples and that she often showed hers off too. What Lori thought was fine for herself did not apply to her mother. "Sorry." said Claire to her daughter. She looked at Bobby who was also staring at her chest interestedly. There wasn't anything she could do about it now. If she covered the tips of her breasts it would only draw more attention to them. And she was used to men staring, so she decided to tough it out. "I'll change when we get there." she said. "I would hope so." said Lori, looking around. She counted at least five boys who were staring at her mother. The look on their faces was just like when they stared at her or one of the other girls. It was her first lesson in how an "older woman" could be a turn on for a younger man. She'd have never believed that her mother would draw stares and looks like that, even though she thought her mother was beautiful. The emotions she felt at that moment were distinctly uncomfortable. For the first time in her life she saw her mother as potential competition! That thought made her laugh. What boy would want her mother... really. She laughed. "Never mind. I'm being silly. You want to sit with us?" That sent another shot of warmth through Claire as her children, rather than being standoffish that their mother was there, welcomed her. There wasn't any place nearby to put her bag, but a boy offered to put it in the back with the other luggage, which was piled high on the last two rows of seats. By the time she sat down, Claire Richardson was an overflowing jumble of emotions, almost all of them pleasurable. She was immediately surrounded by boys who, for some reason, wanted to talk to her children. It made her feel young again. At least until all the kids started calling her "Mrs. Richardson." That brought her back to earth pretty quickly. But even then it was obvious she was being accepted by the kids, and that made her feel almost as good. She had barely settled in, squeezing Bobby and Lori up against the window of the bus when Coach Bondurant got on the bus. He called the role, and, when he had decided everyone who was supposed to be there was, he introduced her. "Mrs. Richardson has kindly agreed to chaperone this trip." he announced. "I know you won't give her any hassles... RIGHT?!" A chorus or 'RIGHT's was yelled out in that tone of voice that kids all use to let adults know they've said something stupid, even though they are expected to agree with it. Coach Bondurant went on. "AND, just so we all understand each other, Mrs. Richardson was a cheerleader when she was in High School, so she knows all the tricks. Don't think you're going to be able to game her, because you aren't." Claire wanted to giggle when there was a softer chorus of sighs that clearly indicated some hopes had been dashed, both male and female. The coach waved her forward and, as she left, she heard a boy whisper behind her. "Man Bobby, your mother is HOT!" There was a smack, as of a hand on an arm and Lori yipped "Shut UP Thomas." Claire just grinned and went up to talk with the Coach. He had saved a seat for them, it turned out, because he assumed she'd want to sit with him rather than the students. As she sat down she saw that his eyes were fastened firmly where every other male's eyes had been. He looked up and caught her... catching him. He blushed. "Sorry" he said. Then he smiled. "But I'm normal I guess. I hope you won't hold it against me." He sounded so sincere that she decided not to react as she normally would have reacted. "I suppose I could give you another chance." she said. "I didn't have time to change into something more appropriate." "Thank you." he said and, to her surprise, he sounded like he meant it. "Sit down and I'll show you the schedule and go over the expectations of the school board. It never occurred to Claire that his thanks might be for more than just... another chance. He hauled out a thick three ring binder and flipped it open to a list of rules and policies that the board expected the team to follow on trips like this one. He was all business now. "You can read over these in the room tonight, or as we drive if you want." he said. Then he launched into explaining a matrix of lines with names beside them of all the schools that would be playing at the tournament, explaining how losses and wins affected lines that didn't have anything beside them. Claire began to remember how things worked and soon they were chatting about their chances of advancing, and his tactical plans. Claire loved football. It was one of the few sporting events she followed and watched on TV. That her children were like-minded made their weekends full of sports, both inside and out of the house. The bus started off and the noise level abated somewhat as kids began to cluster into smaller groups and have their own discussions. "So, other than enforcing the rules, what am I supposed to do?" asked Claire. The bus was bounding along on an uneven road now, and she saw Chuck's eyes drawn again and again to what she felt bounding up and down on her chest. To his credit he tore his eyes away from her breasts again and again, looking at the book, or at her face. She thought his attempts to make good his "second chance" were cute. He appeared to be trying to be a gentleman, at least. "Well, really, it mostly amounts to making sure the kids don't let their emotions get away from them... off the field." he said. "I mean they're kids and they do what kids have always done if they get the chance." His eyes strayed to her bouncing breasts once again. Claire laughed. "Well, if they're in separate rooms that shouldn't be so hard. Chuck didn't smile. "The boys know that breaking curfew will get them benched. But the girls sometimes don't care about that and try to sneak into the boys' rooms. And, of course, the boys who AREN'T involved won't rat them out to the coach, so we have to keep our eyes peeled." "Are there really that many problems?" asked Claire. "You were a cheerleader. Were there problems back then?" asked Chuck, not knowing her history, but assuming that such a beautiful and successful woman would not have any skeletons in the closet. Her response was confusing to him. First she took in a breath and didn't breathe it back out. Then she blushed. Then her mouth opened and closed several times. Finally she stammered "I see what you mean." It left him wondering about her past, but he didn't ask any questions. "We'll try to put their rooms as far from each other as we can." he said. Sometimes we don't have much choice in the matter." The rest of the trip, several hours, was spent in light conversation, during which both adults developed a respect for each other that didn't surprise them... and an attraction that did. The coach's words were prophetic, in ways he couldn't have dreamed. It turned out that all the other schools had arrived already. Several had taken more rooms than they had originally booked and, based on Chuck's preliminary room diagram, they were two rooms short at check-in. The motel manager was apologetic, blaming his staff for overbooking the motel. He called three other places in town, but if they went that route the team would be scattered all over the place. Fire codes prohibited more than a set number of people being lodged in a room, and, as they pored over the paper map the manager produced, it became clear that there would be one female and one male student left over after all the rooms were assigned. And that didn't take into account either Chuck or Claire. Oddly, the solution was offered by Lori, who came to the desk after being chosen by the team to find out why they were all standing around. When she found out the problem she said simply "Why don't we put Bobby and me and you and Coach in one room?" Chuck looked at Claire, and she stared back. It wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than either of them had come up with. It was agreed that it was the best fix to the problem. The manager was all smiles then, until it was determined that, in one of the rooms, there was a bed missing. Investigation revealed that one bed had been broken the night before, so badly that it couldn't be used any longer and the maintenance staff had removed it. The remaining bed was a queen sized bed, but it wouldn't sleep four. Everybody else was assigned a room and told to return to the bus at a time specified for supper. In the mean time the manager scurried around, looking for another bed. He came back looking unsure of how his news would be received. "The best I can do is provide a mattress and linens," said the harried innkeeper. "I realize it would amount to little more than a pallet on the floor. I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do." "Don't you have a roll-away or something?" asked Claire. "I'm really sorry, but they're all taken." said the man. It became obvious that he had put more people in some rooms than the fire code allowed, but wasn't willing to admit it. Claire looked at her children and Coach Bondurant. "What do you think?" she asked helplessly. Chuck said "I'll sleep on the floor. It's no big deal." The manager fidgeted. He made it obvious he had other things to do. Claire, used to being in charge of things, said "OK, we'll work it out somehow. Let's just get in the room before somebody else comes along and takes it." She gave a dark look at the manager, who just shrugged his shoulders. "Of course we'll give you a discount." said the manager. "I would hope so!" barked Claire. When they got to the room a motel worker was already dragging in the mattress that would go on the floor. It was only a double. "We can't fit two people on that!" complained Claire. She remembered what it had been like in college, when she and Denny had shared such a bed. Back then it had been romantic, but this was a different situation. Once again it was Lori who suggested a solution. "Look, Bobby and I could fit on that. His stinky feet will hang over probably, but then they won't be under the covers where their smell will keep me awake." she grinned as her brother gave her a gentle shove. "There's plenty of room in the big one for two people to sleep and not run into each other." Claire wasn't overjoyed about this fix. "Couldn't Bobby and the coach sleep in the big bed?" she asked. "Mom." said Lori with exaggerated patience. "You wouldn't be comfortable sleeping on the floor and you know it. Bobby and I can share the little bed. Like coach said, it's no big deal." "But still, you two would have to be right next to each other." said their mother. "That's OK." said Lori. "He's not so bad." Chuck spoke up. "How about if Bobby, and your mother and I slept in the queen? That would leave the smaller bed for Lori. Bobby could sleep in the middle." Bobby laughed. "I like you coach, but not that much. I don't think I could sleep rubbing up against a man. I mean Lori's my sister, but I'd rather bump into her than a man." And so it was decided. There would be a male and female in each bed. By then it was time for supper and they didn't have time to argue about it any more. Claire couldn't even think about it as she tried to get through the pandemonium of feeding in excess of fifty kids, while busloads of kids from other schools competed for available seats and food. By the time the screaming kids piled out in the motel parking lot and began to straggle toward their rooms, Claire was so tired she didn't care who she slept with. She and Lori claimed the bathroom first. Claire sat on the commode while Lori showered and they talked about things in general. Then Lori dried her hair while Claire stood under the warm water. That water suddenly started going cold and she had to shut it off as she got goose bumps all over her body. She got out of the shower and dried off hastily, putting on the silk pajamas she'd brought to sleep in, not dreaming she'd have to sleep with anyone. She looked up to find Lori staring at her. "Aren't you going to wear a bra to bed?" asked her daughter. Claire looked in the mirror and saw that she hadn't dried her body all that well. And the cold had spiked her nipples again. They were making two damp points in the thin silk of her pajamas. "I hate to wear bras to bed." she complained. "Well Coach will love you in that outfit." said Lori. "Coach will be gentleman enough to ignore me," said Claire. "I wouldn't bet on that if I were you." said Lori. "I can't believe my own mother looks sexy in pajamas!" Claire looked at Lori, who was wearing a white T shirt and panties. Claire could see her daughter's dark nipples through the shirt. "You don't have much room to talk." she said. "You aren't wearing a bra either, and you don't look so shabby yourself in that. Surely you aren't going to let coach Bondurant see you in just panties." "I thought I'd be staying in a room with girls, Mom. I didn't bring things to wear for bed around men!" "Well you can't just show a strange man your panties." said the mother in Claire. "Wait here." Claire went into the room and asked the two men if either of them had a pair of extra boxer shorts or gym shorts that Lori could wear. Bobby dug through his suitcase and pulled out a pair which he threw to his mother. Even when Lori was dressed in the shorts Claire sighed. Her daughter was growing up and was beautiful. "You're still going to make their eyes bug out in that outfit." she said. Lori laughed. "This old thing?" She giggled some more. "Coach will be so busy looking at you he won't even notice I'm there." By the time Lori had helped her dry her hair and pull it back into a pony tail, Claire's nipples had softened and weren't so pronounced. She felt much better about going out into the room, where she planned on getting under the covers as quickly as possible. She wasn't prepared for the change in temperature between the bathroom, with it's fogged mirror, and the cool of the main room. By the time she'd taken five steps into the room her nipples were again proudly poking out. Lori was almost correct. When the two women walked into the room, both men looked at them. Chuck's eyes were, in fact, riveted on Claire, though he glanced at Lori too several times, his eyes looking like he was at a tennis match. He settled for looking at the ceiling. He and Bobby had been watching TV. He stayed in his chair and told Bobby to go on and take his shower. "There's no hot water left." warned Claire. "It ran out in the middle of my shower." The men took it like men and dashed in and then out of the shower quickly. Both wore gym shorts and T shirts to bed. It was odd being in a bed with another person at all, much less a strange man. Claire's emotions, which had already been on high alert, built even more. She couldn't sleep. As she lay there trying not to make any noise in the semi dark, here eyes adjusted to the light from the parking lot, coming in through the thin drapes over the motel windows. Her mind flitted here and there, remembering things. She could feel heat emanating from Chuck, even though there was a chaste fold of blanket gathered between them. It took her ten minutes to realize she was... horny. It took her ten more minutes to realize she wasn't going to get to sleep unless she did something about it. Ever so slowly she slipped her right hand down her stomach and under the waistband of her silk pajama bottoms. Her senses were heightened and anticipation made her tense as she felt the first strands of her pubes on her fingertips. She almost couldn't suppress a sigh as her finger split her labia, which were stuck together with the proof of her excitement, and her fingertip slid onto her engorged clit. She spread her legs automatically and her right leg bumped Chuck. She froze. Listening, she realized she could hear the smallest sounds... Chuck's slow breathing... the rustle of bed clothes from the makeshift bed her children were in as they moved in their sleep... voices from outside somewhere... the sighing of air as the wall unit in the room tried to pump warm air into the room. Hearing nothing that caused her to believe she'd be discovered, Claire pressed with her index finger on the little bump that was her ticket to sleep. She rolled her fingertip in a circle, playing with the protrusion and felt the thrills shoot through her that always came when she mauled the little lump of flesh. She went slowly, enjoying the way her passion built as she played with herself. She was perhaps halfway to her orgasm when she heard Lori's almost silent whisper "Bobby! Not now! Mom's right there!" Claire froze again. Very slowly she turned her head. Her hair was in her face, and she was afraid to lift her hand from under the covers to remove it. She could see through one eye the heap of covers that were her children. It was moving. There was a little sighing moan that was in a voice too deep to be her daughter's. "Please?" came Bobby's voice in a whisper. "You'll wake up Mom" came the whisper of her daughter. "You want her to know what we do?" "Nooo," moaned Bobby, "We won't wake her up if we're careful. You know how hard she sleeps. Pleeease? I'm sooo horny." What Bobby was referring to was the fact that, most nights, Claire took a sleeping pill. Her work was demanding on an emotional level, and the pill ensured that she'd get a good night's sleep to face the next day. But this night she hadn't taken the pill. She hadn't thought it would be necessary. There was silence, broken by the sound of what was most likely a kiss. It sounded like a long, wet kiss. Claire couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her own children? Kissing? And quite likely more than that?! Lori's voice still came in a whisper, but it was a breathy one, as if she were breathing hard. "Do you have a rubber?" "In my suitcase," was Bobby's equally breathy reply. "But I can't get up and get it. It would wake her up for sure," he moaned. "Mmmmm that feels good," sighed Lori. "But you know we shouldn't do it without a condom." "Wouldn't you like something more than just my finger?" he whispered. "We shouldn't do it without a condom," repeated Lori. Now it was obvious that she was breathing hard. Claire could hear her deep rapid breaths in the quiet of the room. "Just this once?" pleaded Bobby. "You always say just this once," said Lori. But Claire could hear in her voice that Lori was going to let her brother do it. She was going to let her brother slide his stiff young prick in her teenaged pussy, where it would spurt long sticky ropes of his potent teenaged sperm into her womb. CHAPTER TWO Claire tensed the muscles in her abdomen, and took a breath, preparing to sit up and stop them. But she froze when her hand got caught in her pajama bottoms. She was astonished to find that she had continued to rub her clit as the scene unfolded beside her. Then she thought about the uproar that would happen when she yelled. Chuck would surely wake up, and then she'd have to explain to him what was going on. She relaxed and pulled her hand out of her pajamas, her mind racing. What should she do? Her head turned and she felt light headed as she saw the lump that was the covers under which her children were supposed to be sleeping move. It humped up as Bobby obviously climbed on top of his sister. Again she took a breath to yell... scream... do SOMETHING. But she couldn't embarrass the children in front of the coach, not to speak of the embarrassment SHE would feel too. She realized she was still holding her breath and let it out in a whoosh. "What was that?" whispered Lori's voice. Claire had a flash of inspiration. If she got up and went to the bathroom they'd stop. Then she could make noise... toss and turn... like she was having a hard time getting back to sleep. If she did it long enough they'd give up this crazy idea. Lori's voice came again. It was a drawn out, "Ummmmmm," sound that Claire recognized herself as having made on numerous occasions when Denny's cock had slid into her pussy. Bobby groaned softly too. He had obviously just pushed his hard adolescent penis into his sister's pussy. Claire saw the covers move as Bobby thrust hard into Lori. Claire sat up. She flung the covers off of her legs and swung her feet toward the children. The covers stopped moving and Claire heard both her children gasp. Claire stood up and padded around the bed and into the bathroom. She stood there in the dark for a minute until she realized they would expect the door to close and the light to go on. She closed the door. They had stopped. Her plan was working. Claire almost didn't remember to flush the toilet. She stood in the bathroom, ears straining to hear anything that might come through the door. It had been useless, though, and, with a start, she realized she didn't know how long she'd been in there. She turned off the light and went blind immediately. Opening the door, Claire put her hands out in front of her and stepped, groping in front of her, into the room. She knew roughly where the space was between the beds. She had to go around the one she and Chuck were sharing - he was on the side closest to the bathroom - and she bent over to feel for the edge of the bed. Her hands fluttered along the covers and onto Chuck's feet. She jerked them away instantly and then re- established contact with the bed and worked her way around it. Her eyes still hadn't adjusted to the dark, so she couldn't see the lump that had been her son on top of her daughter. She didn't hear anything, though. She slipped back into bed, trying to make enough noise to frighten her children, but not wake up Chuck. It almost worked. As she settled onto her side, so she could see the children when her night vision returned, Chuck rolled. His arm draped across her body and his hand fell to the bed beside her left breast. Claire tensed up, getting ready to rebuff this man's obvious pass at her. She felt a long drawn out sigh as Chuck's hot breath blew against the back of her neck. He stopped moving. Claire realized she was holding her breath again. She let it out slowly and tuned her body to feel what Chuck's was doing. The only real contact between them was his arm, draped across hers. He was breathing deeply and slowly. He must have just turned in his sleep. But now Claire had a problem. If she moved, she'd wake him up for sure. She was, for all intents and purposes, trapped. Slowly, her sight returned to her and she looked at the mattress on the floor. They were still now. Her plan had worked. Strangely comforted by Chuck's arm draped over her, she drifted into a troubled sleep. Claire's eyes snapped open perhaps an hour later. There had been a noise of some sort. Chuck was fully spooning her now, his breath still slow and soft in her hair. There was a female whimper from the pallet next to the bed. Claire could see quite well now, from the light coming in around the drapes that were not completely covering the windows. The lump in the covers over her children looked much too tall to have been made by only one body. And it was moving. They were doing it again! Claire lay there helplessly as she heard Bobby assure his sister that their mother was asleep again, and heard the quiet mewling sounds that communicated that Lori was having a wonderful time. Then, to her dismay, she heard the little grunting sounds from Bobby's throat that she somehow knew meant his penis was spurting... inside Lori... without a condom to contain it or protect Lori from pregnancy. Claire didn't know what to do. She was used to making momentous decisions at work every day, decisions that had the potential for changing the world. But in this situation she felt helpless. She knew she should have stopped them. On the other hand it was obvious this wasn't the first time this had happened. How long had they been doing this? She heard Bobby's whispered, "Thank you." And Lori's answering, "I love you." It sounded so heartfelt and real, just like she and Denny had spoken to each other in moments of intimacy. Claire couldn't believe the warm feeling in her own abdomen. It was just too strange and bizarre. She felt a tear in her eye break free and roll down her cheek. She couldn't decide if it was because of what her children had just done... or because of the sudden loss she felt because she didn't have that kind of intimacy in her life any more. Exhaustion finally claimed it's hold on Claire's consciousness, and she fell asleep. She woke later, having a dream about a man's hand cupping her breast... a strong man's hand. It felt good. She smiled at her dream and drifted back to sleep. Claire woke to see brighter light coming in around the blinds and drapes that covered the windows of the room. The first thing she thought of was that Chuck's arm was still over her, pinning her to the bed. Then she felt his hand... his strong, manly hand, cupping her left breast. He was still breathing slowly and deeply, asleep. She moved and he snorted, his hand closing tighter on her breast. Then, Claire heard his breathing cease, and there were two tentative little squeezes, as he realized just where his hand was, and what it was cupping. The hand darted away from her and he lifted his head. "I'm so sorry," he whispered. Claire had just remembered what she had seen and heard the night before. Her children, making love. "It was an accident," she whispered back. "Don't worry about it." Chuck rolled away from her and out of the bed. As he headed for the bathroom Claire looked at him. The front of his shorts were tented outward. Denny's penis had been like that in the mornings. He had called it his "morning wood". Quite often, when he came back from the bathroom on those mornings it was still hard. He loved to fuck in the morning. Claire realized her own pussy was wet. Her emotions, which had abated during sleep, surged again. It was a rough day for Claire. She dressed in a khaki blouse and skirt outfit she thought was cute, and she was right. All day men stared at her, whether they were adults or young men her son's age. The fact that she now knew her son was sexually active made her look at those young men in a different light. Each of them, she realized, had the capacity to climb between her legs and scratch the itch that she had felt all morning and couldn't seem to suppress. At one point she went to the girls' bathroom and locked herself in a stall, masturbating frantically to ease her desire. But all that did was get her hotter. She was tense all day. It didn't help that she was around Chuck most of the day, helping him with record keeping and running errands for him. She caught herself looking at his trim, athletic body. It was hard and she just KNEW he'd be good in bed. She shook her head, trying to shake those thoughts out of her head. He was her son's coach! And, despite there only being five years between them, she couldn't help but look at him as much younger than herself. "What am I thinking?" she berated herself. She tried to keep an eye on her children too. Every time she saw them together... which was more often than she would have thought before last night... they were smiling, happy children, as normal looking as all the others around them. They didn't hang on each other, but they didn't avoid each other either. They just looked... normal. By contrast, there were other kids who bickered and fought. In most cases it seemed like the normal every day interaction of teenagers who were in competition with each other. She noticed one boy, a red head, and girl with long blond hair, who were angry with each other about something and acid in their statements to each other. The blond, at one point was hanging on another boy, when a brown haired cheerleader girl stalked up and pushed the blond away. The brunette yelled at the red headed boy "Tell your slut sister to stay away from my boyfriend!" The red head waved a hand. "She doesn't listen to me. What do you expect from a slut anyway?" "Well THAT brother and sister don't cuddle in bed... that's for sure." Claire said to herself. She couldn't help but compare those angry siblings to her own loving children. It bothered her. She wanted her children to love each other... but they loved each other TOO much. Didn't they? And it didn't appear to hamper their performance either. Bobby played well, and helped the team win their first game. Lori was the picture perfect cheerleader, exhorting the spectators to yell and chant and celebrate each positive aspect of the game. She was bright and happy and full of vim and vigor. Claire realized she was slumping as she watched her daughter. "I might be full of energy too if I'd gotten my ashes hauled as well as it looked like YOU did last night." she muttered to the girl who couldn't possibly hear her. "Say what?" asked Chuck, turning to her. "Oh!" she blushed. "Nothing. I was just talking to myself." "Tell yourself Hi for me," he grinned. "And mention to yourself that she looks really nice today." He looked back at his team as Claire blushed even more. She was horny the rest of the day. That night, after supper, Bobby and Lori wanted to go socialize with their friends. Curfew wasn't until nine, so Claire told them to have fun. When they bounded out of the door she wondered what form that fun might take. "You're really good with your kids." said Chuck, looking up from his playbook. "I mean you've raised great kids." Pleasure flushed through Claire at the compliment. It was replaced by fear that Chuck would somehow find out some day the secret she had discovered the night before. He closed the book and slid it under the mattress. "We'd better go see what the kids are doing." he announced. Claire jerked, thinking of just her kids... and what they might be doing somewhere. Then she realized he wasn't talking about HER kids. "Yes," she said. They went together, moving along the hallways, stopping at the rooms listed on Chuck's sheet. In all cases where the door was closed, only boys or girls were behind it. And, in all cases where they found boys and girls together, the door was open as the rules required. They found Bobby in one room, playing Texas Hold Em. Lori was in another room where boys and girls were dancing to loud music. Claire didn't know whether to be happy or not. She was beginning to think she had dreamed the whole incident. Her children acted so normal she couldn't accept that there was something wrong with them. Claire and Chuck spent an hour chatting with various kids and being flirted with. Claire noticed that a lot of the girls got all goo goo eyed when the coach talked to them, unconsciously thrusting their breasts out, or playing with their hair, making little grooming motions. At the same time she felt the eyes of the boys on her. It was an almost palpable, caressing feeling and it didn't help her horny state. By the time they got back to the room Claire felt like she needed to change her panties. Chuck went into the bathroom and got his shower first, since there had been no hot water the night before. He came out in his shorts, his shirt in his hand. Claire had been lying propped up on the bedspread, reading a book she'd brought along and she looked up, over her reading glasses. She felt a flutter in her pussy. He was a hunk. No doubt about it. His chest was heavy with muscle and her fingers played with the pages of the book as if they were stroking those muscles. Chuck had been running his hand through his damp hair and saw her looking at him. He held the shirt up in front of his naked chest. "Sorry," he said. "I was thinking about the game." He pulled the shirt over his head as Claire stared at his flat, muscled abdomen. Chuck smiled. "I wanted to thank you again for coming along. I really couldn't do this without you." What went through Claire's mind was something else he really couldn't do without her... or at least without a woman. She felt her face get hot. He didn't notice. "And I wanted to apologize again for what happened last night. I really don't make a habit of groping strange women in bed." Claire remembered the feel of his hand on her breast. It had been a long... long time since she'd felt that. Her face got hotter. She tried to dismiss the feeling. "Forget it. You probably don't make a habit of even SLEEPING with strange women in your bed." It didn't come out quite like what she'd thought it would. Her classification of the bed as "his" made her pussy flutter again. "Well," he said, reaching under the mattress for the play book, "You're right about that. I haven't had time to do anything except teach and coach. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that when a beautiful woman shows up next to me in bed that something like that might happen." His casual mention of her beauty came off unlike a canned pickup line and Claire's reaction shocked her. She felt warmth in her nipples and her pussy was suddenly wet. "Maybe we should assign a couple of the kids to keep an eye on US." she tried to joke. "There hasn't been a man in MY bed for over ten years." It had come out as a joke, but it didn't sound like it to Claire's ears. She blushed furiously. "I'm sorry Chuck. I shouldn't have said that," she stammered. "No problem," he said simply. "Not that I believe you or anything." He sat down and opened the book. Now what had THAT meant? Claire wondered. The door opened and a cheerful pair of siblings came rushing in, laughing and talking about their friends. Claire tried to keep reading, but her eyes strayed to Bobby as Lori dashed into the bathroom, slamming the door and crowing that she was going to use all the hot water again. Bobby pulled off his shirt and Claire was jolted to realize that her son was in awfully good shape too. He wasn't as heavily muscled as Chuck, but the muscles were all there, in the same places. Bobby bent over and dug into his suitcase. Whatever he found was small, because when his hand came out it didn't appear to be holding anything, even though it was cupped. Bobby shot a look at his mother, whose eyes appeared to be on the words in the book. He wandered over to the bed he shared with his sister and sat down. Claire saw his hand dart under one of the pillows. When it came out it was obviously empty. Claire felt her pussy squirt again as she realized what he must have just hidden. When Lori came out of the shower she was dressed as she had been the night before, in only a T shirt and borrowed boxers. She skipped across the room and dove into bed, getting under the covers. Claire looked up. "Are you OK, Mom?" asked Lori. "You look kind of tired or something." "I'm fine," said Claire. She couldn't help but imagine what Lori's face looked like as her brother prodded her with his prick. She shook her head. "Are you sure? Are you sleeping OK? Did you bring your pills?" Lori's voice held nothing but care and concern. "I'm fine Lori." said Claire somewhat irritably. "I'm sleeping fine." she lied. It occurred to Claire that maybe she SHOULD take a sleeping pill. Then, at least, she wouldn't be awake when her children had sex, like they obviously planned on doing again tonight. What little SNEAKS they were! she thought to herself. And Lori's obviously false concern about her mother sleeping well! Why did her young, beautiful daughter get to have wild and glorious sex while Claire just had to lie there horny? It wasn't fair! Bobby came out of the bathroom. He was dressed exactly like he'd been dressed the night before. But this time Claire couldn't help but look at him differently. This time she knew he was... sexually active. Her little boy was... a man. At least in that sense. She looked at him for the first time, as a man. His chest was broad, she noticed. How could she have missed that before? His arms and legs were muscled. Suddenly, in her head, she heard again his voice - her little boy's voice - whispered in the night "I'm so horny." Her eyes dropped to the front of his shorts. She jerked her eyes away instantly, ashamed to be looking at her son's manhood, but that brief glimpse drew her eyes back again like a magnet, despite her wish not to look. "He must be HUGE!" she thought to herself as she stared at the lump under his skivvies. It almost looked like he was wearing a cup under them, except for the obvious contour of a thick penis, pressed against a pair of immense balls. When had her son developed THAT kind of equipment? Again she jerked her eyes away and blushed. How could she stare at her own son's penis? She looked up to see him smile at her... just a son smiling at his mother. Why, then did she feel that emptiness that she'd felt the night before... that lack of intimacy that she was suddenly craving? Claire felt panic welling up in her as she realized her nipples had spiked. She got up and went to the bathroom. She got in the shower and turned the water as cold as she could stand it. It didn't help though. She moaned a soft sound of discontent and, to avoid thinking of her son's bulge, she intentionally thought of Chuck's hand on her breast, his own penis shoved gently against her buttocks. She shivered and turned the water to a warmer setting. Then, with a gasp of surrender, she shoved three fingers into her pussy as she jerked and rubbed, trying to have an orgasm. She managed to get a little one, but it wasn't really satisfying. When she came out of the shower and toweled off she realized she hadn't brought anything with her to wear back out. She cracked open the door. "Lori?" she called. "I forgot my pajamas. Would you get them for me please?" Chuck's voice came softly. "They're already under the covers. I'll get them. Where are they?" "In my suitcase," she said. As she waited she realized he'd have to move her scanty feminine panties to get to them. She leaned her head against the door and sighed at how that made her feel. A muscled arm came through the door. Her silk PJs were hanging from the hand at the end of the arm. "Here you go," came his deep voice. When she came out of the bathroom Claire knew her nipples were still spiked. This time it wasn't from the cold. It was because she needed to be fucked. Admitting that to herself didn't do any good. She wanted to cover her breasts, but knew that would only make it more obvious. Chuck was back in his chair again, the book spread open on his lap. He looked up at her and his eyes devoured her figure in the thin pajamas. She knew that look, and it didn't help her mood. She was used to dismissing those looks... ignoring them and acting in a cold and professional manner to deflect them. But she couldn't push the feeling away this time. At least he didn't say anything. Claire was glad he hadn't. If he'd said anything even remotely connected to sex she'd had flung off the garments and demanded he take her then and there. And her children would just have to deal with it! She fell into bed and buried her face in her pillow. It was going to be a long night. Oddly she fell asleep quickly. But she dreamed. She dreamed of her son, who came to her saying he had a "boo boo". He pulled aside a loincloth he was wearing and his mammoth erection strained up. There was a small spot on it where he'd caught the skin in his zipper. "It hurts Mommy," he said. "Kiss it and make it better." In her dream Claire did a lot more than kiss it and make it better. She made it go all soft. She woke with a start. She was lying on her side, facing the children again. There was movement in the bed across from hers. Movement and moaning. "Oooo you got the kind with bumps on it," cooed Lori. "I love those kind." Claire looked to see her son's naked back, the covers down to his waist. Under him was her daughter's naked chest, her breasts white in the darkness. Bobby leaned down and suckled at one dark tip on top of a white mound. He rocked gently. His head raised back up. "Are you sure she took the pill?" he whispered. "She told me she had them and that she was sleeping fine," came the answer. "Good," he whispered. "Cause I'm about to cum, but I need to go a little faster." Lori's hands came under the blanket, where Bobby's ass cheeks were and Claire watched as her daughter pulled her son's prick into her. Bobby groaned softly and froze on top of his sister. Lori's voice came, louder than it should. "I feel it Bobby... the damn rubber broke!" "I'm sorry," he pleaded, still rocking on top of her... still spurting her full of creamy white sperm... "I had to put it on in the dark." "We have to stop this," came a hiss from Lori. "You're gonna knock me up for sure!" "I said I was sorry," he said softly. There were small sounds, though, as of little kisses, indicating that Lori wasn't quite as upset as she sounded. Claire felt something akin to pain as she realized she was a lonely woman. Broken rubbers were no concern of hers. because she had no man at all. CHAPTER THREE Somehow Claire got back to sleep. But again she dreamed. This time it was a dream about her daughter, who walked into the kitchen, her belly enormous, as if it held more than one baby. "Morning Mom" she said brightly. In her dream Claire turned to her daughter and said "It looks like there's another one in there this morning." "Yeah," sighed Lori. "Bobby fucked another one in me last night. I think that makes four. I may have to have a C Section." They were interrupted by Bobby, who came strutting into the kitchen stark naked, his lusty huge erection straining out into the air in front of him. It was the size of a fire hydrant and was red and angry looking. "Morning Mother" he said grinning widely. "Are you ready to make your morning baby?" Claire looked down at her dream belly, which was just as gravid as Lori's was. She screamed... And came awake, jerking. The bed shivered. Everyone else was still sleeping. She hadn't screamed out loud. "What's WRONG with me?" she cried in her mind. She staggered out of bed and went to the bathroom. Closing the door she turned on the light and leaned on the sink, staring into the mirror. Her face looked haggard and drawn. She splashed some water on her face. The cool of it felt good. She turned to her travel case, which she had put in the bathroom earlier and opened it. She got out a sleeping pill and swallowed it. Claire didn't dream again that night. But when she awoke it was to multiple sensations. She didn't know why she had awakened just then. She was still horny. And, she was cuddled up to Chuck, her head on his shoulder, her hair covering her face. She had twin feelings of her hand, lying on something soft... cloth... with something firm under it. As she thought about where her hand had to be she realized it was on his morning erection. At the same time she felt his fingers on her wrist. She felt him lifting her hand... moving it... letting it fall on his flat, hard stomach. She lifted her head. "I'm so sorry." she half whispered, her eyes filling with tears. "I took a pill... I had dreams... I'm so sorry," she began to sob quietly. "Hey" he said into her hair. "Take it easy. It's OK. I just didn't think you'd want to wake up and find your hand... there." He kissed her hair. "Don't cry." She felt better for knowing that he hadn't removed her hand because he didn't want it there. She felt worse because she knew she wasn't going to be able to control her urges. "Thank you," she said. "But I don't know WHAT I want any more." His fingers went back to her wrist and lifted her hand again. Amazed, she felt him return it to the lump of stiffness under his shorts and drape it over his erection. "There," he said. "All better?" Claire felt her fingers curl around the stiff column of flesh before she could stop them. She squeezed gently before sliding her hand upward, off his hard-on. In the process her hand slid under his shirt, onto his hot skin. "We don't even know each other," she whispered, feeling much better for having been able to take her hand away from what she wanted to feel. "We can get to know each other," he suggested. "I'm almost afraid to get to know you," she responded. "I'm already about to let you do something I swore I'd never let a man do again." "That's a good thing," he whispered back. "That means you're making progress... working through your issues." She couldn't help but smile and tried to pinch his skin. It was surprisingly difficult to get anything between her fingers. She ended up tickling him instead. Chuck jerked and batted at her hand, clamping his on it and stopping her. He rolled slightly as he let go, and her hand slid to his side. There were no love handles there. The hand he'd used came to her hair and whisked it away from her face. "I'm going to kiss you now Claire," he whispered. "OK," she surrendered. It was an instant, unthinking surrender that made her feel better somehow before he even touched her. It was a kiss to write home about. Neither of them cared about the morning breath, or the teenagers in the bed on the floor next to them. They just felt each other through their lips and experienced it. Claire reluctantly pulled away from his lips. "What about your girlfriend?" she asked. "What girlfriend?" he replied. "I'm too busy with teaching and football to have a girlfriend." He kissed her again and she pressed her body against his, her arms going around him, pulling him tightly against her. Despite her raging emotions her passion surprised and even scared her a little. When it was over Claire buried her face in his chest. "I'm in so much trouble," she said. Her hand slid to his buttocks and inside his shorts to grip a glute. "I'm the teacher," he whispered back. "Why don't you let me decide whether you're in trouble or not." She took her hand back and put it in his chest. "Not now. Not yet. Not with the kids here. I can't." He took her hand and kissed her fingertips. "Take all the time you need. I'm a very patient man." He rolled away from her and bounded out of bed, heading for the bathroom. Claire rolled over too, to face the other bed. What she saw was Bobby's open eyes staring at her. He was up on one elbow, obviously looking up and over the edge of the higher bed she was in. Lori's lifted head was above his, and she was staring at her mother too. Lori spoke. "Mommy? What are you DOING?!" Claire was quite familiar with how children viewed... or rather attempted NOT to view... the sexuality of their parents. She remembered the first time her father had, at the breakfast table, come up behind her mother, reaching around her to cup her breasts and kiss her on the neck. Claire had been dumbfounded, expecting her mother to slap at his hands and tell him what a terrible man he was. Instead she had let her head fall to one side to give his lips more access. Claire had been fourteen at the time, and had actually shivered with revulsion at the blatant sexual play of her parents. Parents didn't have SEX! Ewwwwww! Of course she hadn't said anything. And, as she began to watch her parents more closely she saw many other times when they touched each other in ways that made it quite clear they were sexual beings... and happy in those roles. She had made the adjustment to being able to... let... her parents be normal. It had awakened her own lusts. So Claire had some idea of what was going through her daughter's mind. And her reaction to that was a mixed bag of sympathy for her daughter, and anger that, at a time when she might just have accidentally found something that could make her very happy, her daughter might try to stop that. If she'd had more time to process events, she might have spoken with a little less heat in her voice, or perhaps, might not have spoken at all. But speak she did. "Whatever I'm doing, it isn't as bad as what you and Bobby were doing last night." She hadn't meant to approach this little problem at either this time, or in quite this way. But it was too late. She saw Lori's face go pale in the morning light, and Bobby swallowed. Bobby started to say something... probably a denial... and Claire cut him off. "We'll discuss this later. This is neither the time or the place." As happens in a lot of confrontations between parent and child, Claire felt the need to do something, or go somewhere... to break the initial contact while she had the upper hand. Had she been home she could have begun dinner, or gone to her room, or snatched up a hamper to start laundry... anything to make it obvious that she had other things to do, and would take up the subject at hand when SHE was ready. But here, in this motel room, there WAS no dinner to make, or laundry to do. She got out of bed, but there was no place for her to go. Without thinking... or perhaps because she was thinking too MUCH... she grabbed her clothes out of her suitcase and stormed... more or less... into the bathroom to change. She had completely forgotten the bathroom was already occupied. Chuck was standing at the sink running his fingers through a patch of hair that he suspected was beginning to be contaminated with gray hairs. He was much too young for that to happen, but suspected it anyway. After taking care of his overfull bladder he had stripped down to take a shower, and was waiting for the water to get warm. When the door opened he automatically turned toward it. Claire's first impression was that the light was on. Who had gone off and left the light on? That wasted energy! That was immediately followed by her mind trying to process the fact that there was a naked man, with a decidedly thick and manly penis, standing in the bathroom. The realization that it was Chuck was part and parcel of the smile that bloomed on his face as he assumed she had re-thought her resistance and had decided to join him in the bathroom intentionally. His smile wasn't a leer. It was, in fact, genuine happiness that this beautiful woman had decided to grace him with her company. Claire's unconscious brain recorded this information, tweaked an organ that produced a particular hormone, so as to increase that hormonal level in her bloodstream, and then made several other... adjustments... to Claire's psyche and physiology. Claire's conscious brain was horrified. She was three quarters of the way through the door when she stopped. "OH!" she said. Chuck looked confused. His mind was beginning to register the shock on her face and recognize that his initial belief that she had decided to come and join him might be less than well founded. "Close the door, you're letting out all the heat." he said, for lack of anything else to say. Claire, being an adult, and a mother, who was quite used to thinking in just those terms closed the door... behind her. She stared at the naked man facing her. "Well" said Chuck, relaxing when she didn't scream or anything. "This is a little awkward." Something made Chuck want to treat this like it was just a minor social gaff. He, too, had been unaccountably happy when he woke up to find Claire Richardson cuddled up against him. That her hand had been lying lightly on his manhood had just been the frosting on the cake. Chuck really HAD been too busy with school to have much of a social life. He'd taken a few of the unattached female teachers out on dates, but most of them had been set up by other teachers who wanted to match-make, and hadn't turned out to be anything near long term situations. He didn't have a particularly high sex drive, and the fantasies he masturbated to occasionally were satisfaction enough that he wasn't impatient to find a warm pussy to call his own. In his experience, warm pussies were often attached to clinging women, who wanted themselves to be the primary focus of his attention. But Claire Richardson was a woman who aroused his interest. It had been a given that she was beautiful and successful. He could see that when he met her. Since then, though, he had noticed her buoyant capacity to be girlish, even though her routine demeanor was mature. She took obvious joy in her children, who were good kids, something teachers appreciated. He sensed in her a smoldering passion that he suspected would be spectacular if it were ever unleashed. He saw glimpses of that as she enjoyed the combat between teenaged warriors on the field. Chuck didn't know if anything could develop with this fascinating woman... but he didn't want to just let things get strained, or uncomfortable. And so he opted to treat the events of the last few hours as something slightly off normal, but cute... one of those things you tell stories about later in life and laugh at. "It's amazing," he said, turning back to the mirror and fiddling with his hair, as if her sudden entrance was nothing more than a minor distraction "how underdressed someone can feel like in a bathroom." "Oh damn, I'm sorry. I forgot you were in here." said Claire, somehow more uncomfortable that he was apparently ignoring her than she was that he was stark naked and she was standing with him in a motel bathroom. "I had to yell at the kids, and then I wanted to get away from them and..." Claire's voice trailed off. She lost her train of thought as her mind caught up to the situation. She WAS standing in a motel bathroom with a naked man! And the man was looking in the mirror instead of at her! And hadn't he just said something about how he was underdressed... as if SHE were OVERDRESSED? "What's going on with the kids?" he asked, leaning closer to the mirror to stretch at the bags under his eyes. "You're naked," squeaked Claire. Chuck smiled and turned to face the woman again. "What was your first clue?" he grinned. Then he suggested "I suspect you've seen men in my condition before this. Don't worry about it. I was about to take a shower, but I can wait if you want to go first." What went through Claire's mind was a collage of imaginary scenes in a movie, where she and Chuck were the stars. She saw herself dropping her silk pajamas on the floor, and Chuck holding the shower curtain open for her to step into the tub. She saw her naked body brush up against his as she entered the shower. She felt his hands sliding over her soapy body as he washed her. The tingle of her nipples crinkling brought Claire out of her short fantasy and all the feelings she had felt lying next to this man in bed rushed back to overwhelm her. She looked helplessly at the man she'd only known for a few days. She was so turned on she was actually vibrating, her whole body shaking with tension. She shouldn't be here. Not with a naked man. Not with THIS naked man. Her children were right outside. They KNEW she was in here with this man. She should leave immediately. But she didn't WANT to leave. "I don't know what to do," she said in a little girl voice. She suddenly felt very much like a little girl. She was perilously close to crying again. Chuck left the sink and came over to her. She looked into his eyes and felt her will to resist draining away. "Do you want to take a shower?" he asked softly. The remembered fragments of the shower scene in her fantasy bubbled up in Claire's mind and she nodded. Almost without her own volition her voice said. "Uh huh." "The water should be warm by now," he suggested. She nodded again, not trusting herself to speak. "You can't take a shower in your pajamas," he said. He took the bundle of clothing from her hands and set it on the counter of the sink. His hands went to the big blue buttons of her silk pajamas and he began undoing them. He worked slowly, his hands dropping from each button, when it was loose, to the next one. Claire felt cool air flow against the skin between her breasts. She couldn't lift her hands for some reason and just stood there as his hands came to her shoulders and pushed the silk. It slid off, over her shoulders and she could feel the caress of the cloth as it glided down her arms. His hands smoothed along the tops of her shoulders and down the outside of her arms. Suddenly she was standing topless in a motel bathroom with a naked man. A part of her brain noticed that he didn't ogle her naked breasts, with their stiffened nipples. Instead he gazed into her eyes as his hands slid, with a feather touch down her arms from her shoulders and moved to her hips, gripping the waistband of her pajama bottoms. Her eyes followed his as his head began to sink, and his eyes stayed locked onto hers as he went to one knee. His eyes still locked onto hers, he began to pull her bottoms down until they were pooled at her feet. As if in a dream she lifted one foot and stepped sideways with it. She was acutely aware that when she did this, her naked, defenseless pussy was now open in front of this man. She began to tremble harder and felt an unaccountable sense of relief as he stood back up. She wanted him to hug her. Instead, Chuck took her hand and led her to the tub. Just like in her fantasy he pulled the shower curtain back, making a doorway for her to step into the tub. His eyes had never left hers. As she stepped into the tub Claire replayed the shower scene in her mind and pleasure shot through her as she anticipated the next part. Her fantasy came to a jarring stop as, when she stepped into the tub, he stayed outside and let the curtain fall back to break the lock between their eyes. "If you need any help, feel free to ask," came his deep voice from outside. Claire blinked and realized she was wet. Then, and only then, did she feel the water beating against her shoulder and one breast. Mixed emotions of joy, anger, frustration and sexual passion raged through her mind and body. What kind of man WAS this? How could he DO this to her? Claire's hand jerked to the shower curtain and she flung it open. "Of COURSE I need your help you... YOU... YOU... MAN!" she barked. It was then Claire noticed that, while she had been in a fog as her body was slowly made naked, Chuck's body had gone through a change. That heavy thick thing she had seen hanging between his legs when she first came into the bathroom was hanging no longer. Now it was pointing at her. It was the first erect penis Claire had seen in ten years and the effect it had on her was electric. "Get IN here," she growled. The rest of her shower went much more like her fantasy had. His fantasy was a bit more detailed than hers had been though. In her fantasy she had felt his skin against hers, her breasts pushing into his chest and hands. She had left out the part where his mouth fastened on her aching nipples and sucked until she thought she'd go mad. Her fantasy had included his hands sliding all over her slippery soapy body. His supplied the slippery friction of his prick gliding into her pussy as they stood in tight embrace. He was strong enough to, once he got her to spread her legs, squat between them, digging the tip of his cock into her famished pussy and then stand up, lifting her with the penetration of his penis until she had to stand on her tiptoes, her arms tightly around him to keep from falling backward. Her fantasy hadn't included the overwhelming feeling of fullness... completeness, that his thick penis caused in her unused sex, as it pressed against her along every inch of her delicate tissues. She hadn't realized how empty she had felt until she was full to overflowing. And somehow her fantasy had left out his hot kisses, his tongue taking her breath away as he bounced on the balls of his feet, dangling her on his spike as her clit was punished by the base of his cock where it skewered her. Her mind kept trying to tell her this must be all a dream. Her body argued vociferously that it was very real. Her orgasm left her so weak she couldn't even hold on to him any more, but his strong arms around her waist only let her upper torso lean backwards, her arms hanging down slightly behind her, her head thrown back until her neck muscles complained. Warm water kissed her chin and splashed on her breasts. In that position she felt him tense, and heard his groan of completion as she felt the fountain of his ejaculation deep inside her. Her passion was so sated that, even though she thought about the fact that she had stopped taking her birth control pills years and years and years ago, she couldn't possibly care less at this moment. Claire's back began to complain and she mustered the effort to lean forward and press her breasts against his muscled chest again. Her face went into his chest and she was surprised to again feel the beat of warm water on her back as his hands slid upward to stroke her there. "I didn't mean for this to happen," she mumbled into his chest. "In that case, I'm really glad you don't have more self control," came her lover's response. She looked up to meet his eyes for the first time since she dragged him into the tub and saw only warmth there. It thrilled her to the core. "Me too." she said, and kissed him. Despite the incredible intimacy of what had just happened, there was an atmosphere of awkwardness between them as they separated and re-washed their bodies separately... hurriedly, with economy of movement. It was cold outside the tub and she shivered again as he handed her a towel. It wasn't big enough, or fluffy enough, and she had a sudden wish that this had taken place in her own master bathroom... or maybe his. "That's the first time something like that has ever happened to me," said Chuck conversationally, as he bent and dried his legs. Claire felt the need to engage him in something other than sex. "I can't believe that," she said, thinking about... sex. "You're much too handsome and... manly. I would have thought you do this... a lot." "Yeah, well don't believe all the hype." he said, rubbing his penis briskly with the towel. "All this Stud-muffin crap isn't at all what it's cracked up to be." He looked up and grinned. "We Stud-muffins are quite often insecure and under appreciated." "Well, I appreciate you," said Claire. She was shocked that she'd said that so blatantly, and with such emotion. "Thank you Madame," he bowed to her. She smiled at the ridiculous formal motion, done by a naked man. When he stood back up he said, "Are you really OK?" She felt another thrill go through her at the care in his question. She suddenly felt much more comfortable with him, which seemed exceedingly odd, considering what she'd just done with him. She threw the towel over her head to partly dry her hair. "I have no idea. None of this has turned out ANYTHING like I had expected it to. This whole trip is turning out to be... I don't know... amazing?" She finished her statement as a question. "I'm with you on that." he said. "I thought I was just going to coach football. If somebody had said I was going to make love to one of the most beautiful women in the world I'd have said they were crazy." His voice suggested that his comment about her beauty was one that anyone would understand and automatically agree with. He wasn't trying to get in her panties with that comment. It made Claire's stomach flutter and she suddenly wanted to have him again. In the old days she often had three or four orgasms to Denny's one. She made a conscious effort to redirect her thoughts. "Thank you Sir," she said, and curtsied to him, using the towel to mimic her non-existent skirts. He looked at her and that warmth was back in his eyes. "You really are beautiful, you know." "I bet you say that to all the naked women in your motel bathroom," she smiled. "I don't know about that. I've never been in a motel bathroom with a naked woman before," said Chuck, pulling on his underwear. "If it's anything like this, though, I'm going to try to have naked women in my motel bathroom all the time from now on." He grinned and continued to get dressed. Claire did the same, combing through her hair and deciding that it wasn't worth the time it would take to dry and style it. Instead she pulled it back and put it in a damp pony tail. When she was done she faced the door, but didn't open it. "I don't know how to go out there," she said. "You open the door and walk through it," said Chuck, buttoning his shirt. "It's easy. I've done it lots of times." "Thank you so much," said Claire acidly. "You've never done it with two teenagers to face." "Claire, I was awake the other night," he said. She turned around, her throat tightening. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I couldn't sleep... with you in the bed with me. It was too different. And I felt you tense up and heard the kids. Then when you jumped out of bed I got ready to mediate... things. When you were in the bathroom I didn't hear you... um... use the facilities. But you flushed anyway, so I knew you were trying to do something. I didn't know what, but I knew you were upset. And, when you came back to bed you didn't do anything, so I figured you didn't know what to do." She looked at him in amazement. "So I put my arm over you so you wouldn't have to decide what to do," he said calmly. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It's really none of my business." "What must you think of us?" moaned Claire, hiding her face in her hands. His hands pulled hers away. "Look, I'm not a father. I don't understand all this. But they're just kids and kids do that kind of thing. If I WERE a father I think I'd rather they did it with each other than with strangers... people I didn't know anything about. But like I said, it's not my business. If you want me to talk to them, though, I will." "But its... wrong," said Claire. "OK, it's wrong," said Chuck. "Is that the only thing they've ever done wrong?" "No, of course not," said Claire. "But what if she gets pregnant?" "So, put her on the pill," said Chuck. "And just let them go on?" asked Claire, her eyes wide. "Do you remember the first man to have sex with you?" he asked. Claire nodded. "Could anybody have made you stop?" he asked. Claire's eyes widened more. She shook her head. "So, put her on the pill and tell them to be careful, and let them learn what life is all about," he said. Claire nibbled her lip, staring at nothing while she thought. She looked at Chuck's face and felt heat in her loins. She had it bad for this younger man. Abruptly she turned, grabbed her pajamas from where Chuck had folded them neatly on the counter, opened the door and walked out to confront her children. CHAPTER FOUR Lori had looked in disbelief as her mother had gotten out of bed after kissing the Coach and then followed him into the bathroom. It was as though she had suddenly been transported to another dimension of reality. And that was added on top of the fact that their mother apparently knew her children were sexually active... with each other. Lori wanted to run away from the shame she felt, and yet, her mother's actions were so bizarre that she wanted to stay and watch what happened next. Caution overrode her curiosity, though, and when it became apparent that her mother was going to STAY in the bathroom with Coach, Lori jumped up and pulled the covers off her brother. "Get up." she ordered tersely. "We have to get out of here before she comes back out." For Bobby, the reaction was slightly different. There was nothing he loved more than the feeling of Lori's firm, tight pussy wrapped around his cock. He loved the feel of her skin on his, of her lips against his. He loved the smell of her hair. He loved the feeling of semen bursting through his prick and out into Lori's belly. He hated using a condom. Every time he made love with his sister something deep in his subconscious hoped his baby would begin to grow in her. He hated school only because he wished they were old enough to run away together and start a family. He knew how stupid that really was. He knew it would never work. But it was how he felt, and he couldn't... or wouldn't give it up voluntarily. Not even if it was forbidden by his mother. All this was the end result, actually, of how he felt ABOUT his mother. He had always thought she was beautiful. As time went on he recognized the strength in her, her abilities, her loving nature. When he entered puberty and saw his first Playboy magazine, the first Bunny he looked at could have been his mother's twin sister. And he had been in love with his mother ever since. Of course she wasn't available to him for anything more than the hurried hugs and quick kisses she bestowed on him and his sister as she went about her busy life. The kids were independent, and could cook and do their own laundry. They even went to the grocery store and did the family shopping occasionally. In fact, a trip to the store and cooking was what had brought Lori and Bobby together as more than just brother and sister. Claire had been gone one night, to some function or other, and Lori had a hankering for pie. She couldn't drive yet, being only fifteen, so she begged her brother to take her to the store to get the necessary ingredients. Having nothing else to do that night, he agreed and their trip through the store had been interesting. It had been the first time they were in a grocery store together, without their mother. In the past they had competed with each other, trying to get their mother to buy what each wanted, without caring what the other got. Their separate, competing cries of "MOMMY, can I have THIS?" had driven Claire to distraction, like it does every parent, and she had coped with it, like most parents have to, by striking a balance of giving the children what they wanted... if it was good for them and if she could afford it. This time, though, there was no competition. As they strolled down the aisles, looking for baking powder, and various other things they had no idea where to look for in a store, they worked as a team. They got distracted in the cereal aisle, pointing out various older cereals they had loved as children and not eaten for years... remembering a carefree time of their lives that was gone forever. And they saw items they didn't even know existed before that trip, some of which were strange and funny to their teen sensibilities. And they laughed, and joked and found that they liked each other. It was the beginning of a pivotal experience. For those of you who have no siblings, this phenomenom of a brother and sister "liking" each other may be difficult to grasp. You 'only children' out there would assume, naturally, that ALL brothers and sisters "like" each other. Nothing could be further from the truth. Siblings, as has been stated before, compete. They compete for resources within the family. They compete in their social relationships outside the family. And they compete for the attention of the caregivers in the family unit. They compete for space, for time on the TV, for clothing, for use of the car. They compete for everything. If the parents are good at their job, siblings learn to work together for the benefit of the whole family. But, arguably, that's fairly rare, because parents are sucked into the competition model at work, and in their own social groups. Some parents even use competition to get what THEY want from their children. True, most siblings find a way to like each other later in life, when they've grown up enough to recognize competition for the double edged sword it really is, but for siblings under twenty or twenty-one to actually LIKE each other... well it's a lot more rare than it should be. And "Like" doesn't mean they don't mind being in the same room for a while without arguing. It doesn't mean that they mind their manners at the dinner table. It doesn't mean that they merely refrain from badmouthing their brother or sister to their friends. What it means is that they actually seek each other out, caring what the other thinks, sharing special feelings and moments, helping because they care what happens to the other sibling. It means they want their brother or sister to be happy, and that they'll do whatever they can to help them find that happiness. It means they are friends... with a blood tie that makes that friendship more special than most others. Finding that, or realizing that is a powerful, life changing experience. Back in the kitchen, Bobby decided to stay and "help" make the pie. The pie became pie and cookies, and then a cake was added and, at some point when Lori had flour on her nose and stains on her T shirt, Bobby had realized she was really a beautiful girl. His eyes had taken in the swell of her breasts, under that shirt, and her rounded hips, and her dimples, and the way her pony tail bobbed and swung as she moved her head. And he realized he had found another woman who compared to his mother. More than that, she compared favorably. "You're beautiful." he said, with wonder in his voice. "You're really beautiful Lori." That had taken Lori completely off guard. While she had become interested in boys, it was more of a clinical interest. Her girlfriends gushed about kisses and groping sessions, but none of the boys she looked at... who were available... made anything happen in her when she imagined herself wrapped in their arms. She had a dream lover whose only physical existence was her pillow, which she hugged and kissed and clamped between her young thighs sometimes, but he had no face. He had height, and width and strong hands in her imagination... but no face. She went on a few dates, but the boys were vacuous, talking about things she didn't care about, or understand. They all seemed to want to eat, and boast and then expect her to find that attractive enough to take off her panties and jump their bones. One football player who asked her out gave her a package in school the day before their scheduled date. Inside was a pair of crotchless panties, with a note that said "for our date with destiny". She just wasn't impressed. That date hadn't happened, even though she kept the panties. They were frilly, and lacy and sheer, nothing like what she owned before that. No, boys just didn't impress her. But none of them had ever said she was beautiful in a way that made it obvious they really meant it, or paid any attention to her in soft, caring ways. And Lori could tell that Bobby actually meant what he'd said. Bobby blushed when he realized he'd spoken out loud. "Uh... sorry," he said. "Why?" questioned his sister. "It was a nice thing to say." "Yeah, but I don't talk that way to girls," said her brother. "Especially not my sister." "Well you should," she sniffed. "You made me feel really good. Nobody's ever said I was beautiful before." "You're kidding." Bobby was truly astonished. It was obvious his sister was a stone fox... once you took the time to look at her. "Well, I hear things like 'You're HOT Lori' and 'You give me a case of the blue balls Lori' and crap like that. All that means is 'I'm horny and I want you to take care of my little problem.' They don't really think I'm beautiful like you meant it. The only other person who ever said that to me was mom." said Lori, turning back to the counter to roll out more dough. Bobby was a little off balance, or he probably wouldn't have said what he said next. "Well she should know," he muttered. "She's the most beautiful woman I know." Lori heard something in his voice that struck a chord deep inside her. Those two simple sentences were said with a level of conviction and passion and even a hint of frustration she had never heard in a man's voice before. "Why Bobby Richardson!" she said, her eyes narrowing. "You sound like you're in love with your own mother!" The look on Bobby's face had given her even more information about just how strong her brother's feelings were about their mother. Initially she was shocked, but the fluttery feeling in her own stomach made her look at the situation differently than she would have if one of her friends had come up to her and said "Hey, you know your brother? He's got the hots for your mother!" As for Bobby, he felt like a pervert whose picture has just been published in the paper, with a warning to keep mothers away from him. He felt panic well up in his chest as he looked at his sister, expecting her face to take on an ugly scowl. When it didn't, but rather looked curious, he tried to salvage the situation. "Sure I love my mother. Everybody loves their mother." But Lori read between the lines. She was around him enough to know everything that he did, and most people that he talked to, and there was no way in the world that he could have done anything with their mother and her not at least suspect it. She thought about her own lack of interest in dating, and her dream lover. "Is that why you don't have a girlfriend?" she asked. There was a tiny thing inside her that made her worry that she must be gay because of her lack of interest in boys. She had worried about Bobby too, because he didn't date much either. Bobby tried to bluff his way through it. "Of course not. I go out all the time." "Yeah, but you never go out with anybody very many times," countered his sister. "You should talk. Jimmy Jones said he had a date planned with you and you didn't even show up!" "That's because he gave me crotchless panties to wear on the date," said Lori. "Would you have wanted me to go on that date?" "He did not!" said Bobby. The idea of one of his friends giving his sister crotchless panties was just ludicrous. "You're kidding," said Bobby, his mind suddenly conjuring up crotchless panties on his sister. What made it even more bizarre was that he could only imagine them on the OUTSIDE of what she was wearing. "Nope. I still have them. They're hidden," she said. "Wow!" said Bobby softly. "I'm going to have to have a little talk with Jimmy." "No you're not. I already took care of things. I don't need big brother throwing his weight around. I can take care of myself," she said firmly. "Did you ever wear them?" he asked suddenly. Lori put her hands on her hips. "Where would I wear crotchless panties?" she said heatedly. "Come on Lori, he didn't really give you crotchless panties," Bobby said laughing. Lori stuck her jaw out. "What? You don't believe me? You want to see them or something?" She turned for the kitchen doorway. "Come on big brother, I'll prove it to you." Bobby tried to defend himself. "I didn't say I didn't believe you. I just wanted to know if you'd ever worn them." He followed her down the hall to her room. When he got into the room Lori was bent over, rummaging in the bottom drawer of her dresser. Again Bobby saw wispy red panties spread over his sister's round bottom... on the OUTSIDE of her jeans. He wanted to laugh, except that he felt guilty. Lori turned around unexpectedly, a bit of blue cloth in her hand. She saw where his eyes had been. "You pervert! You were looking at my butt!" she said. "You can't tell a guy you're going to show him a pair of crotchless panties and not expect him to look at your butt." Bobby argued. "Besides, you're SHOWING me crotchless panties, so you're just as much of a pervert as I am." Reminded of what she had in her hands, Lori held them up and spread the waistband apart with her hands. That they were crotchless was immediately apparent. "See?" she taunted him. "I was telling the truth!" "I DIDN'T say you weren't!" said Bobby. "I just wanted to know if you've ever WORN them!" "NO I HAVEN'T!" she yelled. "WELL WHY NOT?" her brother yelled back at her. Like many siblings, they had gotten into an argument that wasn't really about... the argument. What was REALLY happening was that they were both experiencing things they couldn't understand, and yelling was one way of coping with it. "I've never found a boy I wanted to wear them for." she said, her voice tightly controlled, but full of emotion. "I suppose YOU want to see me in them." Bobby was struck dumb. He had no idea how to react to that. But his autonomic nervous system reacted for him. His heart rate increased, as did his breathing rate. His pupils dilated, to let in more light. He felt a tightness in his chest. And his prick began to fill with blood. It showed on his face, and that fluttery feeling in Lori's belly turned into a ball of warmth that she had never felt before. "You DO want to see me in them." she said, her voice hushed. "I AM a pervert," moaned Bobby. My DICK is getting hard, Lori!" He said it like he couldn't believe it. It came out again, helplessly. "I'm a pervert," moaned Bobby. "My DICK is getting hard for my own sister!" Now Lori was the one who was speechless. Her own autonomic nervous system kicked in and made the same kinds of changes in her body. Since she didn't have a penis to engorge, her system sent the blood to her nipples and clitoris and they swelled, becoming more sensitive. Just like Bobby knew what his swelling penis meant, Lori knew what the sudden tingle in her nipples and the itch between her legs meant. And, at this point, though Lori didn't understand why that was happening, that fluttery feeling in her stomach made her feel... daring. She had finally found a boy she wanted to wear crotchless panties with. "Turn around," she said. "What?" Bobby didn't understand. "I'm going to put them on. Turn around," she repeated. Lori never thought about the idea that, in the space of minutes, she would be standing in front of her brother dressed only in crotchless panties. But the idea of doing just that was so exciting that she almost trembled. She was caught on the horns of a teenage dilemma in which, on the one hand, she wanted to do something exciting. That was to appear in front of a boy... her brother... clad only in crotchless panties. On the other hand, though, she had been taught to be modest, and that was well ingrained into her psyche. She didn't think about the fact that if he watched her get undressed and put the panties on, he wouldn't see any more than if he just saw her in them. All she thought about was that getting undressed in front of a boy was immodest, so he had to turn his back. Bobby turned in a daze, simply responding to her directions. His mind was in a whirl. He kept seeing panties on the outside of her jeans. True, they had changed from red to blue, but he still couldn't visualize her without the jeans. Before he could think of what to do she spoke again. "OK... you can see them now." Bobby's mind still had her in jeans. The reality of what she'd done blasted that image from his mind forever. She had, in fact, stripped naked before putting them on. She stood, tense, ready to bolt, a stiffness in her limbs that made her look like a mannequin. Bobby gasped in a breath as he took in white breasts that were larger than he'd imagined, with rosy pink nipples that were longer than he'd imagined. The blue lace set off her skin and hair, all of which were pale and drew the gaze to the soft fluff of almost white hair that peeked out between the opening at the crotch. "Oh fuck, Lori," he gasped. Bobby's face, the look in his eyes, an almost predatory jungle look of overwhelming emotion, and the word he used, made Lori's knees weak. She felt like a mouse cringing under the paws of a cat that was ready to eat her. It was the most fantastic feeling she had ever felt in her life. His face said it all. She really WAS beautiful to this man who was her brother. He WANTED her. Had she been able to stop and think, she would have realized she'd seen that same look on faces of boys she'd pushed away. And she might have wondered about that. Why would she push them away and then want to welcome that look on her brother's face? But she didn't have time to think. Nervously she asked. "Do I look OK?" Bobby tried to clamp down on the emotions that had already made his dick iron hard. This was his sister. He shouldn't feel this way about her. He shouldn't feel the things he felt for his mother either. He tried to control himself, but had to confess too. "No, you don't look OK," he said, his teeth hard to part in his mouth. "You look fabulous. Lori I want to do things to you. Maybe I should leave now." Lori's building emotions continued to push her where, an hour ago she'd never have dreamed of going. "Like what?" she asked, her stomach churning. Bobby, having a difficult time cutting things off was lured further by her apparent interest and lack of horror at what he was suggesting. "Hold you," he said tensely. "What's wrong with that?" asked his sister. "That's not perverted." "You're naked," he pointed out. "No I'm not, I'm wearing panties," she countered. Bobby's frustration and desire bubbled over. "I want to suck your luscious tits. I want to lick your pussy! I WANT TO FUCK YOU!!" he yelled. There was a sound in Lori's abdomen, akin to the sound a stomach makes... growling when hunger is strong. But it wasn't Lori's stomach that made that sound. Her pussy got so wet it dripped, soaking the fluff poking from between the edges of the crotchless portion of her panties. Dewey drops collected on the ends of a few of those hairs. Lori flushed, feeling the heat of the blood suffusing her cheeks and neck and chest. She felt fire shooting through her loins and her nipples ached so much she had to reach up and squeeze them both between her thumbs and fingers. The pleasure of that tipped the balance. "Would you please kiss me first?" she asked softly. Bobby discovered that the idea of kissing his sister was suddenly appealing in a way that surprised him. She was his sister... and that made it seem odd. But she was a beautiful young woman too, and that made it attractive to him. Something bloomed in his gut and he found himself anxious to kiss her, wondering what her lips would feel like... taste like. He was so focused on the kiss part that he didn't even process the rest of the insinuation in her question. His autonomic nervous system heard that promise, though, and finished preparing his body for mating. What happened then was a comedy of errors as both young people crashed into each other, each one trying to do something with their hands and not knowing what to do. Their lips crushed together and, for a few minutes, that was enough. But the feel of her hot breasts through his shirt made Bobby crazy and he pushed her away long enough to rip his own shirt off. Then they crashed together again, their chests rubbing together. Their noses clashed as each one tried to tilt his or her head in the same direction. Then they both switched to the other direction at the same time, and their teeth touched, banging. Bobby's hands cupped his sister's butt through the panties and she moaned as he pulled her against his stiff bone. Bobby groaned as he felt nectar leaking from his cock. "Lori, you don't know what you're doing to meee." he moaned. "Show me," she whispered. She had never been this excited in her whole short life. She wanted to see everything... feel everything... do everything. She was a runaway emotional train with no brakes. Then they were apart while Bobby frantically pushed down his jeans, kicking off his shoes. Lori held her breath as he thumbed his shorts and pushed them down. What she saw then shook her to her core. Bobby's prick was, in her opinion, a massive thing, thick and veined, not as long as she thought it might be... blunt looking, like two cardboard rolls when the toilet paper is gone, stuck end to end, but with pink flesh wrapped tightly around them. "Oh Bobby," she sighed. Her mind screamed that it would never fit in her, and then argued that nobody said they would even try that, while other parts of her mind couldn't wait to feel that inside her. She almost fragmented mentally with her urge to run and her urge to take that thing into her mouth and hand and pussy. "Oh Bobby," she sighed again. "Oh please hurry." She pulled him to her bed, with it's pink bedspread, covered with cartoon characters and their legs tangled as she tried to lie down, crawl on the bed and pull him with her all at the same time. Then he was over her again, and that same feeling of being a mouse under a cat came flashing back into her mind. His head darted to her breasts and she gurgled with the impact of the feeling as he sucked hard on a nipple. Her legs tried to flop open, an automatic Neanderthal reaction as her body begged to be bred. But his leg was in the way and she could only move one leg to the side. He felt her leg hit his and lifted his own and she groaned as she was able to spread her legs, opening herself to be plundered. He shifted to the other nipple and her knees drew up, digging her heels into the bed. She arched her back, driving her pussy up at him and whined when her thighs hit his waist and she couldn't make it touch anything. Her pussy wanted to be touched... stroked... fucked. With her eyes closed she remembered the look of that huge thing that jutted from the brown hair at the base of it and reached, twisting sideways, groping, trying to find it. She whined again. It was beyond her reach. "Bobbeeeeeee!" she moaned. "I'm on fire." Bobby had given up trying to control himself too. His mind too was fragmented by the multiple sensations vying for his attention. The feel of her soft naked skin touching him sent electric sensations, almost pain, out from each place they touched. The taste of her nipples threatened to make his head explode. The feel of her legs opening... promising that they wouldn't have to stop... made his prick lurch and drip. Her voice rasped in his brain, like the cry of a child who needs help and who drives you to heroic feats to save her. He pushed up and moved up, knowing his penis would be just above her pussy. When Bobby moved, Lori's flailing hand found his young manhood. She gripped and pulled, almost savagely until it nosed into the gap made in the panties for this very reason. It nudged between the petals of her pussy. His motion already started, when Bobby felt that fiery embrace, he pushed savagely, impaling his sister's defenseless pussy in one streaking lunge that took the tip of his cock clear to her womb. Lori was shocked at the pain. Her body had been telling her this was what she wanted. But his savage, hymen- shredding entry sobered her instantly and she writhed, trying to get away from the invading monster. A scream of agony tore from her lips and her hands scrabbled now at his sides, trying to push him away. It was agony! Bobby was beyond control, though. His brain heard her anguished cry, but the Neanderthal part of his brain insisted that this was right... that he must go on. His hips lifted, drawing his prick almost out of the woman under him and then fell, powering back into her belly. She grunted with the force of it and her fingernails dug painfully into his sides, pushing. He let her push him back up, and the muscles in his abdomen and buttocks clenched, driving him into her again. He heard the squelch of fluids being displaced and the smack of skin hitting skin. His body set up a repetitive motion, pulling and then slamming back in, pounding the soft body under him, as if he were trying to pound her into submission as she cried out over and over again. Her cries were like music to the Neanderthal's ears. Lori couldn't make the pain go away. He was too heavy... too strong. Then her pussy was suddenly empty and she took a breath to shout her relief. That breath blasted out of her as another agonized cry as the monster ravished her pussy a second time. She felt like she was being split open, that she must surely die. Then the pounding began and she got faint as her body jiggled and shook as it was abused. Then, suddenly, so suddenly that she was taken completely by surprise, a streak of that earlier pleasure shot through her loins. Her vaginal tissues were beginning to adapt... stretch... loosen, and his penis scraped along her engorged clit each time it slammed into her body. Her eyes had been closed, squeezed tightly at the pain, but now they opened wide as more and more of those delicious feelings began to flood her senses once again. Now the balance had tipped, and, while there was still pain, it had taken on a new feel, like the pain of worked muscles... a bearable pain... a good pain. And even that faded away to be replaced by overwhelming feelings of ecstasy that made her lift her hips, like they had before, when they were seeking something to fill her emptiness with. Her hips seemed to know when to do this and soon she was pounding her pussy UP off the bed as his prick slithered into her on the down stroke. She spread her legs wider now and that helped too, allowing him to go deeper than before, where he hit something that made Lori want to scream again, only this time NOT in pain, but in joy! Lori had felt orgasm before when she used her fingers, and she felt that excitement building inside her. She welcomed it, because that was something familiar, that she knew what to expect from. But it kept building and then built some more until again she thought she'd fly apart if there wasn't some kind of release. She cried out again, thrusting, writhing, trying to reach for that sweet release. Now her fingernails dug into her brother's buttocks as she pulled him into her as deeply as possible. Bobby too felt the release he so desperately sought begin to build. He gave no thought to letting that release take place outside his sister's pussy. His body drove him single mindedly to just... get there. And when his balls clenched and he knew it was there, the Neanderthal in him whispered "Go deep" and he did. He slammed into her one last time and held himself rigid as his balls emptied themselves into the hot, clasping pussy wrapped firmly around his prick. Lori felt Bobby go stiff. She felt the penis inside her get even larger. Then she felt the rush of heat deep in her belly, right next to the thing she had almost instantly learned she loved to have prodded. That heat surrounded the little thing inside her and her orgasm loosed itself throughout her body. Again, Bobby heard his sister's now hoarse voice give out an agonized cry, but this one sounded different than the first ones had. This one had the force of unbridled joy supporting it. The part of Bobby's mind that knew, beyond any shadow of a doubt that he had hurt his sister and hurt her badly... relaxed a little. She couldn't sound that joyful if she were still in pain. They lay there, gripping each other with muscles that were almost locked. They drew in great gasping breaths of air, which cleared their minds enough to assess what had just happened. Bobby could tell that he was heavy upon her and rolled sideways, holding her until they were face to face, lying on their sides. Lori remembered the pain. She knew how severe it had been... how she'd have done anything to make it stop. But she couldn't feel that now. And, as he rolled, and his now limp penis pulled out of her, Lori felt the loss... the emptiness... and she knew that she would have to be filled again. "I love you," she whispered to her brother. "How could you. I heard your screams," he said. "That's gone. I don't think that will happen again," she sighed. "It had better not," she added. "I raped you," he moaned. "No," she said. She didn't know what that was, but it wasn't rape. Not as far as she was concerned. "How did this happen?" he whined. "I don't know," said Lori. "And I don't care... as long as it happens again." "We can't," he was a little boy again. Now he thought of the consequences. "You'll get pregnant. It will hurt you." "We'll do something about that," she said soothingly. "What did we do?" he sounded lost. "You took my cherry," she whispered. "And I love you for it." She kissed him until he calmed down enough to know she was being truthful with him. Lori had walked gingerly for a day or two after that, but no one noticed. It was Lori in fact, who initated their second liaison. Bobby had avoided her, still uncomfortable with the wild thing that had taken control of him and changed their lives. But Lori wouldn't be denied. She went to him in his room and badgered him into putting it in her again. When, this time, the only sounds she made were coos of encouragement and joy, Bobby relaxed. And to their amazement, this time was soft and gentle, almost slow, without the raging passion that had consumed them both in that initial encounter. Bobby went slower, though just as deeply and it was Lori who began to make him speed up. She had two orgasms before he flushed her full of his seed. They were hooked. It showed just how much they were hooked by the fact that they were driven to make love in a motel room with their mother only a few feet away. It had driven them until they had been caught. CHAPTER FIVE Lori couldn't believe it when she saw her mother follow Coach into the bathroom. Bobby gasped as well. Both of them had watched as they saw their mother's hand being placed on what was obviously Coach's hard dick. And both had seen her hand squeeze that lump. And then there had been the kiss and some whispering. Bobby, who had always had a letch for his mother anyway, felt his prick harden. Lori, who knew that part of the attraction Bobby had to her was that she was her mother's daughter, thought about the man who was touching her mother the way Bobby touched her. But the reality of what Claire had said to them both barged through those emotions. "Fuck! She knows!" said Bobby. "We have to get out of here." "Come on Bobby, where are we going to go?" asked Lori. "I don't know, but I love you Lori, and I'm not going to stop what we do." "We can't just run away." complained Lori. She was the more grounded of the two, despite the fact that she had seduced her brother without actually setting out to do so. "What do you think she's going to say to us Lori?" asked Bobby. "You think she'll come out of there and say "Well, kids, I saw you fucking, and it looked really hot, so fuck all you want." "Of course not," said Lori. "But maybe we can explain it to her... you know, how we feel." "I think we should make ourselves scarce," advised Bobby. "Hurry, we can't have much longer." "I don't know. Mom's been in there a long time," said Lori. "What can they be doing in there?" "I don't know," said Bobby. "Come on... get dressed... HURRY LORI!" *** The kids were dressed for the day. Lori was standing by the door, her hand on the handle, looking over her shoulder at Bobby, who was throwing things in his carryall. Lori said ,"Now who's holding us up. Hurry UP Bobby!" as the bathroom door was thrown open and their mother charged into the room. "What's the big rush?" Claire asked much more calmly than she felt. Lori's face registered shock. Claire's eyes went to the bag in her hand, and the bag Bobby was stuffing full. "The game's not until one." Neither teen could think of anything to say. It didn't matter. Their actions said it for them anyway. Claire blanched as she realized her children had been planning on running. Her heart seized as she thought of what that would have been like. They had no idea what it took to stay alive... to stay healthy. She was deeply disappointed that they assumed she didn't love them, or wouldn't try to understand... or was incapable of understanding. It flitted through her mind that she DIDN'T understand, but she still loved her children more than anything else in the world. The thought of losing them made her stomach hurt. "Did you think if you ran away that all your problems would go away?" she said heavily. "Are you really that stupid?" Clair pointed to a chair. "Sit down." Chuck exited the bathroom and came up behind Claire. He touched her elbow, but she jerked away from him. "Chuck, would you mind if I had a few minutes with my children alone?" "Sure Claire. I'll go make sure everybody's up and ready for breakfast," he said. Lori had still not moved. Her hand was still on the doorknob when Chuck got there. She looked at him, fear in her eyes. He winked and then grabbed her shoulders, moving her to the chair Claire had pointed to. A little pressure on her shoulders made her sit. He opened the door and said "I'll be back in fifteen minutes to take you to breakfast." Claire wanted to sit down, but knew she needed the tactical advantage of being higher than the children. Skills she had learned in the business world were habit now and she didn't even think about them. "Sit down Bobby." she said. "Mom..." he started, but she held up her hand. "Don't make me yell at you Bobby. I don't want to yell. Just sit down and let's talk about this." Bobby turned and sat on the coffee table his bag was lying on. No one said anything for a few seconds. Claire tried to think of what she wanted to talk about, but her emotions were still roiling from the shower. "How long has this been going on?" she asked. At least the children didn't try to lie about it. Lori said, "Three months." Claire was lost. How did you talk to your children about something like this? "I don't understand," said Claire. "I want to understand, but I don't know how to do that." Lori spoke again. "Mom, I love Bobby." "Of course you do, he's your brother," said Claire. "No, I mean I LOVE him, mom," said Lori. "I don't want to be with other boys. I don't want to have a boyfriend. I LOVE him mom." Claire's head swiveled to Bobby, who was sitting up straight. "I feel the same way," he said. Claire tried to lighten the mood. "Well, I'm happy that you don't want a boyfriend too, at least." Neither teen smiled. "Sorry," said Claire. "I'm a little nervous. In the last twelve hours a lot has changed for me and I'm not at all used to those changes." She shook her head. "But one thing needs to be clearly understood. We are a family. And if we have some problems, then we'll work on them as a family. Running away won't do anybody any good and it would have just killed me if something would have happened to you two. So the first thing you have to do is promise me you won't run away." Both Bobby and Lori had expected shouting... maybe threats. Bobby had even felt there was a chance that their mother would throw them out. But her behavior, if not a polar opposite, wasn't anywhere near what they had expected. And exacting that promise from them actually made them feel better about things. With that off the table they didn't have to think about that, and all it would entail. Bobby looked at Lori. There was yearning in her eyes. She nodded. "OK, we promise," said Bobby for them both. Claire felt relief herself. "Now, the second thing I want you to understand is that you're my babies and I love you." She saw the reaction in the faces of her children. "Come on... you know what I mean. I know you're not babies, but you used to be, and every mother thinks like that. The important thing is that I love you both. I don't understand what you've done, but that doesn't matter. I love you." One of the things Claire had learned about personnel problems was that, during a counseling session, it was usually valuable to find out what questions the employee being evaluated had. Sometimes they brought things up themselves that the boss wanted to talk about anyway. "What questions do you two have about all this?" she said. As she thought about that she decided that had been a stupid thing to say. "Are you going to make us stop?" asked Lori. Maybe it wasn't so stupid after all. "I don't know," said Claire. "I have to think about that." Both youths were shaken by her answer. They had expected a very quick effort by their mother to forbid them to do anything ever again. And both were prepared to fight for their love. Now, though, her answer didn't require a fight and their thoughts fragmented as they tried to adjust. Claire thought about what Chuck had said. "You probably wouldn't stop if I told you to." she said. "And I can't make you fall out of love." She frowned. "But what you're doing is dangerous, and you need to understand that. It's dangerous because Lori could get pregnant. It's dangerous because society says it's taboo, and if anyone finds out there would be a scandal. Chuck already knows, but I don't think he'll make a fuss about it. That's not true of others, though." "Coach knows?" Lori's voice rose to a soprano whine. "You two made enough noise last night that I wouldn't be surprised if the people in the room next door know about it," sighed Claire. Bobby rocked backwards and Claire held up her hand. "It wasn't that bad. I was exaggerating. But you were a lot louder than you thought you were. Both nights." Lori blushed. "You heard us... both nights?" "It's not all that dark in the room, dear. I saw you too." "When you got up and went to the bathroom?" asked Lori. Claire nodded. Lori turned to here brother and hissed. "I TOLD you so Bobby. You should have LISTENED to me." "Stop!" said Claire firmly. "Fighting between yourselves won't solve anything either." She asked something she'd been curious about, but didn't want to ask sooner. "How did this happen?" she asked. "I mean how did it get started?" Lori looked at Bobby, but he shrugged, as if to say, "Don't ask me?" She glared at her brother when it became obvious she would have to answer that question. "Well, we were cooking one day. We were making pies and cookies and cake." Claire remembered that day. She'd come home to find the kitchen completely trashed, a whole pan of cookies burnt to a crisp, and her children giddy with laughter. They'd been so happy she couldn't be angry with them for failing to clean up. And, they had worked willingly and happily together to straighten things out. She nodded so that Lori would go on. "And we started teasing each other," said Lori. She darted a look at Bobby. "And the teasing got kind of excited, and we got kind of excited and things got kind of complicated and it just happened." Lori looked at her mother to see if such a vague description was going to fly. Claire's eyes were unfocused. She was thinking about how well that description could be used for what had just happened in the bathroom. Then she thought about what had happened in the bathroom, and how wild and spontaneous it had been. Bobby spoke. "We didn't actually intend for anything to happen. But I got so excited I couldn't control myself and Lori couldn't make me stop." He had decided to take the blame. He'd always felt that he should be blamed for the initial incident. Her screams as her hymen was torn and her pussy cruelly stretched were etched in his memory forever, regardless of how happy she was to welcome him between her legs now. Lori waved a hand dismissively. "Don't pay any attention to him Mom. He thinks he raped me, but it was actually the other way around. Once I had him in my hand I wouldn't let him leave without feeling it inside me." Her relief at finally being able to talk about her relationship with her brother was so strong that it freed her tongue a little too much. Claire was, in fact, a little shocked that Lori could talk about that so lightly. It made her a little suspicious. "So, are you two sexually active with any one other than each other?" Both children shook their heads immediately, and together. Their response was too immediate to be false... unless they had practiced it. Claire looked at Bobby. "And what have you done to protect her, Bobby?" He looked uncomfortable. "Well, we use condoms most of the time," Lori snorted. He glared at her. "OK, sometimes." Claire finally decided she could sit down. She chose the bed. It still gave her a tiny height advantage. "I have three friends at work who use condoms for birth control," she said. "They're all pregnant." Both teen's head jerked towards each other at that comment. "Yeah, condoms are a lousy way to prevent pregnancies. They break, and leak and have pinholes in them," said Claire, like it was a discussion about how to chop carrots. "I didn't know that," said Bobby. "Which is why you probably shouldn't be having sex. You need to learn about adult things before you do adult things," said Claire. "We're not going to stop Mom." said Lori firmly. Chuck had been right. "Even if continuing gets you pregnant?" asked Claire. "I love Bobby," said Lori stubbornly. "And if I have his baby I'll love our baby too." "Well, now THERE'S a plan for the future," snorted Claire. "Look, kids, I love you both and I'm NOT sorry I had you. But I probably had you too soon. And when your father left that meant I was too young to get a good job and we had to really struggle for a long time. I don't want you to have to go through that." Lori looked at her mother thoughtfully. "Mom, if I got pregnant... from anybody... would you make me move out?" Claire snorted again. "Of course not. That's the last thing I'd want you to do. I just told you it's hard to raise a baby. If you were married, then yes, you'd have to go live with your husband. But you can't marry Bobby. Nobody's going to allow that." The door opened and Chuck walked in. "Time's up" he announced. "Ahhhh, I see there aren't any bloody corpses lying about, so I have to assume that things have been civilized. That's good, because I'm hungry and if there had been murder and mayhem the police would come and we'd have to all answer questions and I'd just starve to death." His attempt at humor had been so long that he ended up panting a little. "Anybody hungry?" While he didn't get the chuckles he hoped for, Chuck's intrusion wasn't a problem either. Everyone had had their say, to a point. All three Richardsons stood up and they went to breakfast. The day was spent chasing around a perplexing mix of emotions. Nothing had really been "decided". Lori and Bobby still didn't know what their mother was going to do about... them. And "them" was something that was so important to both of them that it affected their behavior. Lori didn't have quite the verve that she usually displayed when she cheered on the team. Bobby fumbled the ball twice and at halftime the team was behind by fourteen points. Claire, watching the game, had a hard time paying attention to what was going on. Every time she looked at her son or daughter, all she could conjure up in her mind's eye was Bobby, hunched over Lori, her legs spread in welcome, as he grunted in that special sexy way that meant he was filling her with his spunk. That, added on top of her own emotional turmoil - whenever she looked at Chuck her stomach did flip-flops - began to rob her of the joy she usually experienced when he saw her children doing what they loved to do. In short, her life... and the lives of her children... had been knocked topsy-turvy. As sometimes happens to adults in that situation, usually when they aren't at all ready for it, her mind began to question some things she thought were "decided". She had pretty well become resigned to the fact that there was no man in her life. In fact, she realized she had unconsciously kept men at bay, feeling she didn't need a man in her life any more. Now, after what had happened in the shower, and the feeling in her stomach when she looked at Chuck, Claire's decision that men weren't worth the effort it took to have a serious relationship had taken a few hits. Then there was the whole incest thing with her kids. Incest was wrong. Everybody said so. It ruined the families that were involved in it... didn't it? But her children were obviously happy, and normal in every other way she could think of. They got good grades, were reasonably popular, and seemed well adjusted when compared to other brothers and sisters she saw together. Nothing had happened in the three months they claimed to have been having this relationship that made anything look different at all to Claire. Was it actually possible for a brother and sister to love each other... that way... and for it to actually work out well? So many of Claire's assumptions about her life were in question that she didn't even know HOW to think about them, much less WHAT to think about them. Chuck nudged Claire and her head jerked as she realized she had been staring at the stats sheet in her lap for quite a while. "Claire, I need you to pay attention," said Chuck gruffly. It was his "coach" voice. "I think I might be in love with you, but I need you to pay attention to the game." he said. Claire's head jerked again in surprise. That was all she needed. He might be in LOVE with her?! She ground her teeth in frustration, and blushed, but nodded tersely. "OK," she said. Claire had the capacity to be single minded, and she called on that talent now. Statistics were kept in two identical books. Volunteer students maintained them, but one of the volunteers had been unable to attend the contest, so Claire had volunteered to do that. She and the boy who had the other book were sitting side by side, and she leaned over to talk to him, catching up her sheet. Then she paid strict attention to the game, shoving her other thoughts away. It was then that she was able to notice that Bobby wasn't playing well. She began watching him more closely and saw the frequent looks he shot to the sidelines... not at the coach... but at his sister... and at his mother. Knowing how roiled her own emotions were, she had no trouble identifying what was on Bobby's mind. During a time out, when he ran over to huddle with the coaches, she pulled at his shoulder pads. "You keep your mind on the game," she barked. "I can't," he said. "Bobby, honey," she said, her voice pleading. "We'll get through this... difficulty. We'll work on it as a family. But if you can't discipline yourself when things get difficult, how can we ever make this all work out? I love you. I'm not going to stop loving you. Lori obviously loves you too. But... that... can't be the only thing in your life Bobby. You have other responsibilities too." "All I can think about is where I'll be sleeping tonight." said Bobby miserably. Claire thought. Her questions about whether society was right or not boiled over in her mind. Who were strangers to tell her... and her wonderful children... what was right and wrong for them? She made a decision she couldn't believe she was making. "Well, if you don't start paying attention to the game I may make you sleep with ME tonight. There are only two beds in the room. If you want to sleep in Lori's bed tonight you'd better get back in there and kick some ass!" Unknown to Claire, her "threat" to make her son sleep with her, played to the overwhelming emotions that were surging through his body. Unknown to Claire, she had suggested what evolution had primed men to believe: If you want the best women... the most fertile women... the most desirable women... you had to be the alpha male in the group. And, as far as Bobby was concerned, his mother and sister WERE the most desirable women in the group. The surge of adrenaline and testosterone in his system caused his muscles to swell and his mind to sharpen. He was primed for combat. And it made a difference. The fourteen point advantage the other team was enjoying melted away in a mere three series. Claire felt a surge of excitement as she saw his play improve dramatically. At one point, when the defense was on the field, Claire saw Bobby run over to his sister and hold an animated discussion with her. Lori glanced at her mother and then back at Bobby and her level of participation in the game increased after that too. In the end, the team won by six points. After the game the atmosphere was electric with excitement. They had advanced to the semi-finals and, if things went well, were only two games away from claiming the trophy. All the kids were giddy, talking too loudly, full of energy, even though they'd just played a hard game. Chuck called them all together. "OK" he started. "I know you all are excited, but this is the time discipline is needed." Claire saw Bobby look at her and grin. Chuck went on, his hands out, facing the group. "So even though right now you don't feel tired, and you want to party, you really need to think about getting some
