Robbie was right. A couple of weeks after he "screwed the living shit" out of Angela (his words, not mine), Gloria invited her submissive nurse to our house for Sunday dinner. And then for an occasional sleepover. A month later, Angela moved in with us.
For a while, Gloria insisted that there was nothing romantic going on between the two of them.
"I'm not in love. Sleeping with Nurse Angela is the only way I can keep her on staff," she often reminded me. So often, it was as if she was trying to convince herself instead of me. "Once I tire of her, I'll kick her out and find another nurse."
Her argument went out the window when she asked Robert to build them a place of their own. A comfortable three-bedroom house, right next door to us.
And, while he was at it, Robert built James a similar house, across the street from Gloria's. Which made sense. James spent more time in our house than his downtown apartment, so he might as well live close to us.
Everybody else in the family thought it was a great idea.
For reasons I will never understand, even though Angela professed to be a pure lesbian, she continued to let Robbie "fuck her lights out" a couple of times a month because doing so made Gloria happy.
Robert also got a monthly "Nurse Angela allowance", as long as Gloria participated.
Mom's and Gloria's relationship was always on shaky ground so putting a little extra distance between the two, moving Gloria into a different house, made them both happy.
And as far as the three sisters were concerned, they didn't lose an aunt/mother, they gained a bathroom.
I, on the other hand, felt like she'd deserted me. Sure, she only moved a couple hundred feet but, for nearly the last two decades, Gloria and I lived in the same house. We slept just down the hall from each other (and for two nights a week in the same bed).
After her move, I was lucky to see her two or three times a week. And the opportunities to be naked in each other's arms, just the two of us, dwindled to less than once a month. It was during one of those rare moments together that we addressed a subject that had haunted my brain for two years.
"We all knew it was coming," I told Gloria as I caressed her still taught forty-two-year-old ass.
"I know," she said, reciprocating the favor on my thirty-eight-year-old (soon to be 39) posterior. "I can read a calendar; I just wish the pages wouldn't turn so fast."

The calendar. That was the source of our anxiety. Every damn calendar in the house, be it the one on my phone, my tablet, my watch, my laptop, or hanging on the kitchen wall... they all said it was September 3

, 2038. Like most people, we weren't looking forward to being labeled "middle-aged", but that wasn't why the date bothered us. Since all three sisters were born in August 2020, the current date meant each of them was now at least a week over eighteen years old... the age of consent.
The precedent was set two years earlier when Mom snuck into Robbie's bedroom on his eighteenth birthday and turned the boy into a man. The next night, Gloria proved she was a willing partner in the crime. And I, while having never completely consummated the act, certainly led us further down the road.
We did what we did to further my son's education, to ensure he was prepared for the world we previously tried so hard to protect him from, to give him a leg up on his competition. To not give his sisters the same advantage would be a sinful, sexist neglect of our parental responsibilities.
After much discussion over the last several months, we (Robert, Mom, Gloria, and I) unanimously agreed that the sisters should go through some sort of advanced sexual education as well, but none of us knew how to broach the subject with our extremely sheltered daughters.
They obviously knew that Robert was their father, each born to a different mother. But we went to ridiculous lengths to make them believe those indiscretions were events of the past. Since they were not allowed upstairs, and we made it a point to never do anything remotely sexual downstairs, the sisters firmly believed that the only reason we all lived together was to keep the family intact. In their minds, Gloria and Martha lived the lives of nuns and, for the few months Angela lived with us, she too was directed to take an apparent vow of chastity. And, despite what we told them, the main reason we built the cabana by the pool was to prevent them from knowing what their mothers were doing with their brother.
We got lucky with Robbie. His grandmother slipped into bed with him on his eighteenth birthday and he took to sex like a teenager to video games.
But girls are different. Especially naïve, inexperience girls like the sisters. We had to find a way to convince our innocent daughters that what they'd been told to avoid for all of their lives was now permissible.
Gloria and I spent the rest of that night unsuccessfully brainstorming ways to accomplish this delicate task. Which was a complete waste of time because, at dinner the next night, the three sisters proved us wrong.

"We know," Julie, Gloria's daughter told the assembled family.
"You know what?" Gloria asked.
"About the sleeping schedule," June, Mom's second daughter, my much younger sister, said.
"Are you asking for a later bedtime," Robert asked. "Do you think you need less sleep just because you're eighteen?"
"Actually, we'd all like to go to bed an hour or two earlier," April, my daughter, said. "And since we are of age, we'd like to choose who we go to bed with."
"I don't understand."
"Mom does." April looked directly at me. "Aren't you the one who decides who sleeps with whom? The best we can tell, you've been doing it all our lives. You and Daddy sleep with each other at least three times a week. He also gets one night alone with Grandma and Aunt Gloria. We suspect the other two nights are threesomes but, since we're not allowed upstairs, we have no way of knowing for sure."
"We also know that the schedule changed when Robbie turned eighteen, when he started getting sex lessons," June said.
"And it changed again when Angela moved in with us," Julie added.
Stunned. Flabbergasted. Flummoxed. Pick an adjective. They all fit. Every parent in the room sat silent and motionless as they processed what our daughters said.
"How?" I finally asked. "How do you know this? Have you been spying on us?"
"I wouldn't call it spying," Julie said. "None of us have seen you in flagrante delicto -"
"That means we've never seen them actually having sex," April whispered to her brother.
"- but the evidence is clear," Julie continued.
"What evidence," Martha asked.
"Oh, come on Grandma. You, of all people, should have recognized it," April said. "Mom gets a certain sparkle in her eyes at dinner when it's her turn to sleep with Daddy.
"The only time you laugh at Daddy's jokes are the evenings before you two have sex.
"And Aunt Gloria's tell is the easiest of them all. If she comes to dinner without a bra, we all know what she'll be doing that night and who she'll be doing it with."
"That's all you've got?" Robert asked. "An eye sparkle, a chuckle, and a wardrobe choice doesn't prove anything."
"There's actually a lot more," Julie said to her father. "Each mom also has her own specific morning afterglow. Aunt Mary has a habit of softly singing in the kitchen after spending a night with you. Mom skips her morning run after sleeping in your arms, and whatever you do to Grandma prevents her from sitting in a chair for several hours afterwards."
"But, despite all the evidence presented so far, the most damning is the fact that none of you are denying it," June said.
Which was true. While our lies of omission for the last eighteen years could be justified. Out and out denying the truth at that point would have been unacceptable. So, ceding their well-made point, I asked the next obvious question.
"How do you know about what we're doing with Robbie?" I asked.
"You mean about the three of you training him to seduce women?"
"I'd like to think we're teaching him how to be a loving partner, but whatever you want to call it, how did you find out?"
"Our first clue was the shit-eating-grin that's been on his face since the day after he turned eighteen," Julie said. "An undeniable indication that he was getting laid every night."
"And then a year ago, when you told him to start being nice to us," April said, "we finally figured out your plans for us."
"Do you think we have some secret design for the three of you?"
"It's no secret," June said. "And we're all for it. The only question is, when do we start?"
"Start what?" I asked.
"Our lessons," Julie said. "When do we get folded into the rotation? When do we start having sex with Robbie and Daddy?"
"That was your plan, wasn't it?" April asked. "Isn't that why you all have been riding Robbie so hard these last couple of years? Training him up, working on his technique and stamina?"
"We realize that Daddy is the best sex instructor a girl could ever want," June said, "but he also has to see to the needs of our moms."
"So, we've come up with a draft schedule," April said. "It's certainly not chiseled in stone, but we suggest that each of us gets to sleep with Robbie two nights a week..."
"... and one night a week with Daddy," June continued.
"That way, we'll each get three lessons a week and still let Daddy spend some quality time with the three of you," Julie concluded.
