I wish to thank my editor drbob80. I asked him to undertake a very tedious project in editing this thing. I even asked him to help me figure out where to break it into chapters. He also pointed out a rather glaring series of errors related to the dialogue. He did his usual great job and I want him and everyone else to know how much I appreciate it.
I undertook writing this in a different way than I have written my previous multi-part stories. I wanted the story completed before I submitted it, and it was. I will submit a new chapter about every other day until I have submitted all seven chapters. I knew how I wanted this to end when I started it and essentially had to fill in the blanks. It took a while.
This is a story about adult siblings who are very successful in their professional lives, but in their personal lives...not so much. Their semi-dysfunctional personal lives bring them together and then the same dysfunction helps shape their happiness beyond their relationship. Their story develops before getting to any real sex. I have included the seemingly mundane details of their lives to give depth and context to the story and I hope I have conveyed their normalcy. But, along the way is something to interest everyone; incest, lesbian sex, anal sex, group sex and plain old heterosexual sex. There are some twists and turns that I hope you don't see coming. Please be patient and keep reading; I'm hoping that that you find the wait to be worth it. Thanks for reading...

Aidan
I was sitting at the end of the bar in my favorite place, Hayter's. Hayter's & Co. is a bar that caters to expatriate Chicago Bears fans in Denver. I lived in northern Indiana until my parents moved halfway across the country because of my Dad's job. My dad is one of those guys who deeply believe in loyalty to the sports teams with which you grew up. Consequently, I am a Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls fan in Colorado.
Anyway, I was sitting there; crying in my beer, not literally, but you know what I mean. No, it was not an Old Style, it was a Killian's. I had my eye on the Bears game on the big screen, but mostly I was staring into my beer.
I was feeling more than a little depressed because my wife, the love of my life, and I thought I was hers, moved out yesterday. She came home from work on Friday night and told me she had fallen in love and was leaving me.
"Aidan, I wasn't looking for this, it just kinda happened." Jeannie tried to explain, while holding hands with her new lover.
"But, I don't understand..." I struggled with what was happening and what to say. I stood there looking at her. "We've been happy, or at least
I
thought we were. Where did this come from? We haven't stopped making love, or laughing together, or anything else. I really don't understand..." I kept repeating that I didn't understand...because I didn't.
When I mentioned that we had continued to make love; her new lover, her lifelong best friend Karli, bristled in anger. Karli glared at me and her eyes flickered to Jeannie. I think I had said something that Jeannie didn't want Karli to know.
"Aidan..." Jeannie started and I cut her off.
"I didn't even
know
you liked girls." I said, whining a little.
Jeannie said, "I don't."
"Hunh?" I muttered, more than confused.
"I love Karli," Jeannie said quietly. "I don't think about other girls."
"Whatever," I said, suddenly
very
pissed off and quickly deciding what
I
wanted to happen. "If you're going, just go. I'm gonna leave here right now and be back around ten tomorrow night. Take anything and everything you want. This is a one-time offer. I don't care what you take, including my clothes, but what you leave is mine, don't expect to keep coming back to get whatever you think you've forgotten. I'll keep my car, you keep your car. We both know what is in the bank. You take half on Monday and we'll sell the investments and the house and split those, too. Just be gone by ten tomorrow night."
Jeannie was crying and Karli was glaring at me.
I glared back at Karli.
"What?!?"
I snarled. "Do you have something to say? You were her maid of honor, you stole her from me, and you have the audacity to be fuckin' pissed because
I'm
hurt and pissed? Fuck you, you miserable fucking cunt!"
Karli went from looking pissed to looking nervous. That pissed me off even more.
"
Jesus Christ!
I'm not going to hurt either one of you." I exploded. "So you don't need to be scared. Just make sure that I
never
see you again, you fucking cunt!" I spun on my heel and stormed out the door.
Jeannie broke away from Karli and ran after me. "Aidan! Please stop!"
I stopped at my truck; hand on the door handle. I took a deep breath before turning to face her. "What?!?!?" My vocabulary seemed to have taken a hit in the preceding half hour.
Jeannie had still been walking toward me and abruptly stopped. "Aidan, I'm sorry, I really am. I still love you, but this thing with Karli is just so, so, so, I dunno, special."
It took
all
of my self-control to respond calmly, although I allowed a hard edge to creep into my voice. The hard edge, it seemed, was enough to make her take a step back. "Jeannine Lucille Weatherford Cunningham, what we had was special, you
know
that. I love you with all my heart and I hope the
special thing
you have with Karli is for real. I really do. But, if after the endorphins from the first blush of lust and love have departed, you realize that you love me and want me back, remember this:
Fuck You Jeannie
and your
special thing!
Because, no matter how much I still love you, I will
never
able to trust you nor will I allow you to stomp on my heart again. I assume I won't need to see you
ever
again. This divorce will be legally amicable, but personally, it will be anything but amicable. Goodbye." I turned back and got into the truck. Jeannie stood there speechlessly allowing tears to stream down her cheeks.
I checked into a motel and actually did not go home until this morning, giving her more than enough time to clear out. All of her shit was gone and about half of the furniture. She left me the bed, my home office was intact, I had the TV and my recliner, and the guest room was completely empty. The kitchen table and chairs her grandmother had given us were gone, but most of the silverware and cooking utensils were still here. In the master bedroom, the dressers were gone and all of my clothes were folded neatly on the bed. I laughed bitterly, that was surely Jeannie, if it had been up to Karli, I'm sure they would have been shredded.
I called a realtor and scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. Even though Jeannie left the keys and the garage door opener on the breakfast bar, I planned to call a locksmith and a garage door company in the morning to change the frequency on the garage door opener.
That's when I decided I was going to go to the bar and watch the Sunday night football game.
