The strange path that Robyn Feinberg's life had traveled in the last year was on the verge of another twist.
A month earlier, her nephew Davey, who was now her lover and master had officially moved in. He had decided to stop going to school for the time being, although he only needed to complete 3 semesters to receive his degree.
Davey took over the first guest room as his own. Robyn had hoped he would share her bedroom, but Davey had insisted on this arrangement. He decided that when and if he wanted to, he would "visit" her room or she would "visit" his.
Robyn was disappointed but, as she was now accustomed to doing with her nephew, smiled and went along with his wishes.
One Saturday morning, after he'd visited her room for an intense and satisfying sex session the night before, Davey made an announcement.
"I have to run some errands today, and I need you to do something for me." He said as they finished breakfast. "Someone's coming to stay with us for a while, and I'll need you to pick her up at the airport this morning."
Robyn was taken aback -- had this been a "normal" situation or relationship she may even have been upset. But this was part of the normalness she'd agreed to accept with Davey.
"Ok." She smiled after a pause. "Who am I picking up?"
"Her name's Sarah." Davey told her, "She's a friend from school. She'll be the latest of my conquests and I need to finish breaking her in."
His last statement caused Robyn to feel a slight twinge of jealousy.
"I think you'll like her!" Davey added with a smirk.
Davey gave her the flight details and a description of Sarah and what she'd be wearing. An hour later he left to take care of his errands.
The municipal airport was a short distance from Robyn's house so she left only 40 minutes before the flight arrived. She parked and went to the waiting area of the arrival terminal.
She had no problem at all picking Sarah out of the small group that departed the plane. She was exactly as Davey had described and wearing the exact outfit he had chosen for her to wear -- like Robyn, she was a Plain Jane; her designer attire didn't look like something she might have chosen herself.
Sarah Carr was Davey's age, 22, short (only 5'4"), average build, had a pale complexion with freckles, long red hair and pale blue eyes. Despite the new clothes and make-up, she still looked every bit the "geek" -- she reminded Robyn of herself in high school and college.
They greeted each other sheepishly and made uncomfortable small-talk as they collected her luggage and loaded it into the car.
"So, how long have you known Davey?" Robyn asked on the drive home.
"Since freshman year," Sarah replied through a thick-southern drawl. "We were in some of the same classes. I'm an Accounting major -- I was Davey's tutor for a while. That's how we kinda, um, well..."
She blushed and trailed off, but Robyn knew exactly what she meant.
"So, Davey tells me that you and he are....?" Sarah asked after a long uncomfortable pause.
Neither woman could look at the other -- they both stared straight ahead.
"Y-yes." Robyn finally answered. She was embarrassed and humiliated that another person, other than her sister Stacey, and someone she'd known for less than an hour was aware of her relationship with Davey.
They both sat silent and motionless as she eased the car into the garage.
"So, how much did Davey tell about me and him?" Robyn finally asked.
"Quite a bit, I think."
Another long uncomfortable pause drifted between them.
"And do you know the other ...?" Robyn continued.
"Kathy and Saudie....? We've met. We've all....been together...sort of. He had me watch them...." Sarah answered, staring at her hands in her lap. "And he told me about....your....his..."
Robyn was most shocked by this revelation -- Davey had shared the involvement of his mother, her sister Stacey, as well. She was overtaken by a brief sense of regret.
Now both women were red-faced and embarrassed and staring at their nervous hands in their laps.
"We better get you settled." Robyn finally said to break the silence.
They took her bags to the second guest room and Robyn left her to wash-up and change while she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Her thoughts and feelings were jumbled. She was outraged that her nephew had revealed their secrets, and started to wonder what he was up to. She assumed that like her, Davey would be more discrete about the nature of their relationship. Robyn felt betrayed and angry.
Just then an all too familiar ring tone sounded on her smart-phone -- it was Davey. She almost didn't answer, but decided to pick up on the third ring.
"Hello." She answered rather coldly.
"Robby!" Davey chimed. "I'll assume you were able to collect my little Sarah. So, what do you think?"
"She seems OK." She replied.
"Are you girls playing nicely?" He joked. "If not, you will later!"
"We've been talking." She said.
There was a long pause.
"Oh, I see." Davey answered realizing what she meant. "Sounds like you might be a little upset with me, Robby."
Robyn said nothing.
"You aren't upset with me, are you Robby?" He asked sternly. "I wouldn't like to think that you are upset with me in any way."
"N-no." She lied feeling intimidated by his tone. "I'm not upset, just a little concerned."
"Where is Sarah now?" he interrupted.
"She's in the guest room, getting settled. We were about to have lunch."
"Fine. Call me when you've finished eating." He snapped before ending the call.
Robyn's hands began to shake. Davey's abruptness had overshadowed any thoughts or feelings she might have been having. She did not want Davey to be angry with her.
Sarah entered the kitchen just as Robyn began setting the table. She had changed into her normal "Sarah-attire" -- faded jeans, a navy blue t-shirt with a sci-fi movie logo, and blue low-top Converse sneakers. They sat in silence and ate the sandwiches Robyn had prepared.
"So, do you like the things that Davey does to you?" Sarah asked.
Robyn almost jumped at the interruption and mention of Davey's name -- she was lost in thought and concerned about what he might have planned for her.
"Actually, yes." Robyn finally offered reluctantly.
"Me too." Sarah offered shyly. "Sometimes I feel....bad about what he does.....about what I let him do. But when it's happening....I love it. And I can't wait for him to do it again."
"I know." Robyn nodded.
"Does he....?" Sarah searched for the words, "Tease you, too? You know, make you wait for it?"
Robyn nodded again. For reasons she didn't understand, knowing that there was someone else who shared her feelings and experiences was comforting. She decided that maybe she liked her new house-guest after all.
They cleared the table when they were done eating and went into the living room.
"Davey wanted me to call him." Robyn said hitting the speed-dial button.
"You're both together?" He asked coldly. "Put me on the speaker."
Robyn depressed the speaker button and placed the phone on the coffee table between them. Both women gave their undivided attention to the voice that emitted from the small device.
"Hello, Sarah Anne!" He said sweetly, "Hope you had a good flight, and my aunt is making you feel welcome."
"Oh, yes!" Sarah answered gleefully. "She's been great! Lunch was good and the room is very nice and..."
"I understand the two of you have also been talking." He interrupted. "Comparing notes, I guess?"
Both women were silent and nervous now, unsure of where he was going with this.
"No matter." Davey continued. "It makes sense, anyway. I don't want any secrets between myself and any of my ladies. Are we clear with that, Sarah?"
"Y-yes." She stammered nervously.
"Is that clear with you, Robyn?"
