The family and Muriel deal with the fallout from the previous night.
All the characters are over 18.
There is no sex between family members but there are clear overtones of incest. If that is not your bag, your exit is but the click of a mouse away.

I woke up slowly, lazing in that in-between place where you dream but know that you're dreaming. The shades were pulled. They hung unmoving. The air was heavy, unstirred by even a hint of a breeze. The room smelled of sweaty clothes and sweaty bodies. Despite the light shining around the shade, the atmosphere in the room felt gloomy or maybe that was just me. I could have been sleeping atop a narrow bench in the high school locker room after a football game - one we'd lost.
I may have gotten chilly during the night but the room was already getting uncomfortably warm. I wasn't sure what time it was. It felt late but in high summer in North Carolina, the light and heat can fool you. It was too much trouble to tilt my head and look at the clock. Sweat plastered my face and the side of my head to the pillow. I threw the sheet back and kicked it free with my feet.
I realized I was nude. In my own bed I always slept naked but I wasn't in my own bed. My brain clawed its way a little closer to wakefulness. I wasn't at my apartment. I was in one of the basement bedrooms in the rental we had been coming to since before I could remember. I shared the room with my brother. I gathered my energy for what felt like the immense task of rolling away from the window and its brightness, thinking I'd ask Mark why I was naked when I woke up.
My brother? My brain jumped from half asleep to fully awake. My heart started pounding and I felt a fresh wave of sweat break out on my forehead. I was sleeping naked in the same room as my brother. Why?
I grabbed for the sheet and sat up. I don't sleep naked around my brother. What the fuck was I thinking? I told myself to relax. There was no reason to panic. I hadn't been drinking. I tend to run my mouth when I'm drunk. In vino veritas as the toga wearers had been wont to say. This was weird but not a disaster. I couldn't recall saying anything that would lead to disaster. My eyes darted to my brother's bed. I wasn't sure if I was hoping he was there or hoping he wasn't. Maybe he had spent the night at Muriel's.
He was there, sprawled on his back, one foot twisted in a sheet that was the twin of the one on my bed. The fitted sheet had pulled loose. He lay half on the sheet and half on the mattress pad. He was naked as well. One hand rested casually atop his belly. His hard-on bobbed in the morning air.
As memories of the night before crystallized in head, I held my breath. I tried to convince myself I had dreamt it, dreamt it all. There was no way my parents would fuck each other in the pool, not if they had the tiniest inkling their kids were around. And they most certainly wouldn't do so while watching their eldest fucking the neighbor and their youngest giving her cherry to a guest. Then there was me jerking off as I watched it all. It had to be a dream. Had to be.
I rested my head back on the pillow, not bothering to flip it over. A warm, damp pillow was near the bottom of the list of things I was worried about at the moment. I tried to organize my thoughts, tried to force myself to review the events in sequence rather than in random, vivid images of naked bodies.
My thoughts drifted back to last night.
It had been Jill's idea to spy on our parents. The three of us had been playing video games. I had been sitting between Jim and my sister, Jill. Mark had gone over to Muriel's. Our parents had basically told us they were going skinny dipping in the pool and for us to get lost.

I remembered.
Jim was hopeless. His Super Smash Brothers skills were beyond abysmal. Mom could beat him. I concentrated on Jill. Anyone who thinks girls aren't competitive should hang around my little sister. She was hunched over the controller, body tense, swaying and bouncing on the edge of the couch, elbows flying, as she played. She was concentrating on the screen so hard that her eyebrows nearly kissed. Jim gave up. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see he was staring at Jill. It pissed me off. That was all it took. Let yourself be distracted for a second and my sister would have your jugular dangling from her teeth before you had a chance to realize you were dead.
She dropped the controller, thrust her arms over her head and began to chant, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, that's how that shit is played, boys," while she swiveled her hips. I waited for Jim's tongue to roll across the floor like in one of those old cartoons. When it did, I'd step on it.
"Big deal. You won for a change."
"For a change? I usually beat your ass, brother darling." She turned to Jim. "Man, no offense but you suck."
"You do not 'usually beat' my ass. You win, ten, at best fifteen, percent of the time, which means what you usually do is lose."
"Bullshit, not a chance, big bro. I beat you half, more than half the time, nowadays." She bent and picked up the controller. When she stood, her eyes were bright with excitement. I sat up a little straighter. I knew that look. We could be in for trouble.
"Let's go see what mom and dad are up to."
"Forget it," I said, getting ready to start another game. "That's both creepy and dumb. Sit down and I'll teach you to be humble."
"No, seriously, come on. It'll be fun."
Jim was staying out of it.
