In the previous chapter: Louis arrives home from college to find out his sickly, old father, who was away for a couple of days, plans to marry his young, sexy girlfriend, Kathy. Louis asks her why she would do it, and she responds that he proposed to her on several occasions, telling her she was still allowed to have intimate relations with others discretely. Kathy convinces Louis he's her choice. He reluctantly gives in. Next, Kathy has to leave for a couple of days to care for her sick mother. The father has a heart-to-heart talk with his son, eventually persuading him to pursue his future wife and have an intimate relationship with her.

I woke up feeling great. No wonder; A good roll in the hay just before sleep time is a good recipe for a long, relaxing nap. I opened my eyes and smiled to myself - I was free to enjoy the day. No studying, only fun, FUN, F U N!!!
I put on a tee shirt and shorts and walked toward the bathroom. I didn't see my father. Kathy was in the kitchen with her back to me, making the eggs. I sneaked behind her, checked that Dad wasn't around, and kissed Kathy's neck softly.
She shivered and turned to me, "Hey, buddy, let's not risk it all before having 'the talk' with Dad. Last I saw him, he was shaving, so he should be here soon. Be patient and don't show too much affection until we see him happy he was able to convince both of us to do something we were initially reluctant to do..."
"Kathy, what affection? I never really liked you! I am just trying to do a favor to my loving father..."
"I know honey. I would have taken you more seriously if your rising pole stayed down after kissing my neck."
"You are wrong. I closed my eyes and imagined kissing Sarah, my pretty classmate."
She chuckled, "Darling, you are such a liar. Two months ago, you brought Sarah here, and together, you worked on a school project. I liked her but I doubt she'd harden your organ. Being chubby with very short hair and thick glasses does not fit your type..."
"Sorry, I meant Kelly."
"Louis, you continue with the BS, and your nose will elongate more than Pinocchios. Kelly came to the house one day when you were out. She is skinny, I'd say around 100 pounds at the most, with chicken legs and no breasts. Dear, admit it was because of me and I might forgive you. Eventually!"
I prepared to answer when my father opened the master bathroom door and came in our direction, "Hi, kids. I see both of you smile. Anything I am allowed to hear?
Kathy grinned sweetly, "Well, I was trying to guess if he was more attracted to Sarah or Kelly."
Dad stared at me, "Son, is it true you began ogling 2 girls?"
I blushed, "Dad, don't believe a word she is saying. I am in love with somebody but I'll never reveal her identity until the day I die."
He laughed, "Let me guess; Margot Robbie or Sidney Sweeney."
"Dad, I am stunned. I never knew you were familiar with the newest hotties in the movies."
"I travel a lot for business. What do you think I do in the evenings? I watch movies on TV."
Kathy called us, "Guys, breakfast is getting cold. Let's eat and discuss our love life later."
We ate quietly, occasionally peeking at each other and smiling.
When everybody was done, I took the dirty stuff to the sink, and then put everything else in its usual place. Dad stood up, kissed Kathy's forehead, and said, "My tummy is full and happy. It's time to get serious. Everybody to the living room."
...
Dad looked at me, "Son, as I told you before, I plan to marry Kathy 3 weeks from now. I love her and want her to be happy after the wedding. Financially, she'll be secure for life even if something bad happens to me anytime in the future. I also promise to cut on my work, so we can have more time together. The one thing I do not have much control over is physical intimacy. I would have loved to do everything, but god decided it was IT for me. Well, I may still use my hands and mouth but we all know it could be a temporary and partial thing. I gathered both of you because I think that as a family of 3, we can help each other achieve total happiness in life. Each one of us should contribute whatever he or she can to the betterment of our bond. Kathy, what do you think?"
She hesitated, and her eyes moved between us, "I know I can cook, clean, and do the laundry. I am willing to help in anything else the family needs."
Both gazed at me, and my face turned ruby red, "Dad, what do you want me to say?"
Dad smiled, "Louis, we haven't talked much during the years. Lately, I decided to watch you more carefully. I noticed you staring at Kathy more than before. It's more than one would expect you to ogle MY girlfriend. I think you find her very attractive. Am I correct so far?"
"Dad, I am sorry. You are right. She is pretty and beautiful and despite trying to behave, you know how young men's hormones are raging in the presence of... a breathtaking woman like her."
"I understand, and I do not blame you. I fell for her for the same reason." He turned to Kathy, "And how do you feel about Louis?"
She mumbled, "I liked him from day one. He always tried to be nice, help me with the dishes, and entertain me with jokes and funny stories. George, You were away much of the time. Having your son in the house helped me feel much less lonely than when he was gone too. But I think you are asking me if I find him attractive and desirable. In short, he is tall, handsome, and not boring. I think every woman would love to date him. In my case, since Brad Pitt and George Clooney are not around, he will do..."
I chortled, "Kathy, remind me to beat them up if they ever show up in our neck of the woods!"
Dad seemed happy, "Children, I like what I hear. I talked to each of you separately, and I'd like to put it on the table. Unless there is a new invention or discovery very soon, I doubt I'll ever be able to be a satisfactory sex partner. I would like you two to explore the possibility of good chemistry in bed. If both of you find it pleasurable, it would be the ideal situation. You'll enjoy the activity and I'll be guiltless for tying the knot with a young, trophy wife. Are you guys willing to try?"
I glanced at Dad, "Kathy is too nice. I doubt whether she has the heart to say no if she isn't interested. She wouldn't want to offend me, especially in your presence..."
Kathy interjected, "Louis is too humble. I actually find him very attractive." She turned to Dad, "He may be somewhat less attractive than you when we started, but he is definitely a guy I would swipe right on Tinder if I saw him on this app."
Dad looked at me, "Louis, you have the last word."
