{Sorry this is not "stand alone" that's a lot of typing and I'm lazy. The first 3 chapters brings the story up to date, this setting is many years later}
Sharon and I together. We were happy. Gone were the accusations, yelling. The one time swap at what had started out as just a petting party with our friends Sonny and Lori had become old history.
Just something that happened, fun at the time. It sure had caused some heartaches, though.
After Sonny had been killed in that terrible accident, Lori found Kevin. Kevin was a big rangy goofy looking guy, nutty sense of humor. His ears stuck straight out, long thin nose. He would take off on series of comments that would leave all of us in stitches, I swear, he could put Seinfeld to shame.
We were buds, in fact, the four of us were solid friends. After all, we had that common bond. Well, three of us did, anyway. Little Ray was my son by Lori, and Sammi was my daughter by my wife Sharon.
Little Ray had grown up to be bigger than me, he liked all sorts of sports and was into everything. Even full grown he would come running when we showed up at their house, wrap himself around me until I almost couldn't breathe.
Sammi took a bit after her mother, she was taller at 5'1", and she was blessed with the same huge set of breasts her mother had. I swear God made a mold and put them on her.
Sammi wasn't a bit shy about her body, either, she thought nothing of wandering around the house in nothing but a pair of panties.
Just like her Mom, chip off the block there. I remember once I was sitting on the couch watching news, Sammi came wandering in looking for a book she was reading. I looked up, there she was in a skimpy set of frilly panties, bare to the waist.
I must have been staring, noticing that she was a carbon copy of her mother.
She looked at me oddly.
"What, Daddy?"
"Oh, I am sorry, hon, I was just noticing how much you looked like your mom."
"Are they going to get bigger?". She looked down at herself, lifted them and let them drop.
That was too much.
"Go put a shirt on!"
"Oh, Daddy..." but she stomped off and came back with a T-shirt.
That didn't help a hell of a lot.
There was another time I looked out the upstairs window at our deck. Little Ray and Sammi were in our hot tub, chatting away like they always do. It hit me that they were both naked, I watched a long time.
They finally got out, grabbed some towels and dried off, both of them nude and I really don't think they even thought about that. Just normal brother and sister as far as I could tell, the big difference in their ages made Ray more of a protector.
One thing was sure, Little Ray wasn't little any more, but then neither was Sammi.
Our hot tub got a lot of use each summer, Kevin and Lori and Sharon and I were always cooking something on the barbeque and soaking in the tub. We all went in nude, too so it was normal stuff for the kids. They had both been in there with us from time to time since they were babies. Ray always spent lots of time with us, that never changed.
Ray showed up with a lady friend just once, I don't remember her name. She was a skinny little thing, bleached blonde, smoked like a chimney. I have no idea what Ray saw in her, but she took one look at four old folks naked in the hot tub and even warned, it was too much. Never saw her again, that was fine with me.
We all just lived, enjoyed life.
Sharon never demonstrated any of the jealousy or concerns that she had had way back after the swap with Sonny and Lori. It was years before I found out she had gone to some kind of therapist, it had worked for her.
Many years of pretty good life went by, we were happy. Sharon was still that eager animal in bed, we fit in ways that few couples ever do. Sex with her was wonderful, she was the kind of woman that wanted it and went right after it, doing everything she could to get my seed out of me.
There was an undercurrent there, though, and in all that time I never saw it or realized it. Kevin and Lori never had any children of their own, that crossed my mind a couple of times but I didn't really know why not. Sharon and I never did either, it would seem we should have. We never used birth control, it just didn't happen.
But we were happy, the twists and turns of fate didn't get in the way of that. Kevin was good to my Ray, too. But Ray always responded to me with great exhuberence, he responded to Kevin with respect. I was Daddy, Kevin was Poppers.
Deep inside Kevin was harboring a resentment that he never let show. Now, after the fact, I realize that Lori knew, but she kept it to herself, too.
The relationship between the four of us, and letting our kids grow up knowing each other and being close was worth almost any sacrifice.
It came to a head one Summer, Ray was gone, off to college for an upgrade to his degree. Shooting for a big advancement at his work. I knew that my Sammi wasn't far behind, she was a grown woman and would be gone soon.
The four of us were out on the back deck, I had a nice Prime Rib, sliced up into steaks ready to Texas style them on the barbeque. Lori and Sharon were sitting in the hot tub, Kevin came out and slid in with them. All of them nude, like always. I had on the necessary apron, doing the steaks.
I hollered when they were done, Sharon hopped out of the tub, Lori right behind. Sharon had an odd and flushed expression on her face, it hit me her nipples were snugged up and firm, normal when she got out of the hot tub was they would be soft and flattened out.
Kevin stayed behind in the tub for quite awhile. I looked at Lori, she had that fathomless expression on her face, one she was good at. No reading anything at all in that woman when she did that.
I yelled to Kevin to come and get it a 2nd time or I was going to feed it to the Dog. No idea what that meant, we didn't have a Dog. He finally climbed out. No hiding the fact that he was half hard. I had seen that before, but usually when he and Lori were horsing around in the tub.
It hit me he had been sitting beside Sharon, Lori was on the other side.
I shook that off, we all sat and enjoyed the meal, made the usual small talk. We were planning a four of us trip to a nearby lake. We had been there before, renting one of the cabins and spending the days out on the lake fishing and enjoying the summer.
