A huge thanks to my editor, Mary Francis, for reading my ramblings and guiding me to a more intelligible presentation.
After her wild night with her brother in the first part of this tale, Claudia confessed her sins to her husband, Mike. Although he had set up the ravishing of his wife by her brother, Mike pretended to be shocked and disappointed. Claudia begged forgiveness and promised to do anything to make it up to him.
Relationships: Alec and Denise are Claudia's older siblings. Alec is five years older, Denise four years older and neither bonded well with their younger sister. Alec, however, became attracted to his sister Claudia when she visited him in San Diego. Denise and Mike met when Claudia's family moved to Mike's town, Mike was a senior in high school, Alec a junior and Denise a sophomore. Mike was a student director with four years of Drama experience and Denise joined the drama class. She had a huge crush on Mike. Years later, when Mike came into Claudia's life, Denise felt a special bond with Mike. Even after both Denise and Claudia were married, Denise carried a torch for her now brother-in-law. He was more fun and sexy than her first husband. Before the events that occurred in the first part of this story, Denise had divorced and remarried, adopting a nudist lifestyle. She and Mike would sometimes meet and swim naked together. Mike began exploring Denice's fantasies, which were initially tame. However, with his guidance, Denise broadened her thoughts to include bisexual encounters and even incest dreams. Mike and Denise shared sexual secrets that impacted their reactions to Claudia's sexual assault by Alec.
Claudia confessed to Mike. She resisted giving details but Mike continued to encourage her to come clean with all the details and her reactions to having sex with her brother. She finally admitted her evolution from confused resistance to eventual enjoyment, indeed desperate encouragement of her brother's violations. Through her deep shame, she couldn't hide the fact that she was glad it happened. Although she felt unworthy of Mike's continued love, Claudia begged him not to forsake their years of marriage, even though she had allowed Alec to use her in ways she had always forbidden Mike.
Mike used her self debasement and crushed self esteem to his advantage. Claudia didn't know that he had planned the whole attack, and that he had drugged the mocha she had consumed before her brother entered their home. He pretended to be broken hearted, claimed he could never get over being made a cuckold in his own home.
Mike said that the only way he could continue the marriage was if Claudia agreed to never disobey him and do anything he demanded if the future. He then said he needed a weekend to decide where their future was to go. He checked into a nearby motel for a couple of nights, leaving Claudia to decide whether to accept his ultimatum or accept a divorce.
Mike called Denise from the motel to tell her about Claudia's attack. Mike had molded Denise into accepting and even enjoying his sexual adventures long ago. Denise was the one with whom he shared his excursions, into what some may label as aberrant behavior. Denise found them erotically stimulating.
When Mike got her mother drunk and fucked her, Denise was at first shocked. But when Mike showed her the video of her mother caressing her breasts while Mike plowed into her from behind, Denise asked for him to email a copy to her. So, instead of being shocked at Mike's description, she listened with a growling wetness between her legs, asking what he wanted her to do. Mike gave her instructions.
It had been a few days since the night of passion. Claudia has been feeling guilty ever since. She's tried to ignore the thoughts and urges, but they wouldn't go away. Mike told her she needs to talk to someone about it, someone who won't judge her. She is ordered to call Denise.
The Phone Call: Denise: "Hello, you sound a little upset. What's going on?"
Claudia: "I...I had an experience and it's causing a rift between Mike and me. I need your advice."
Denise: "You know I'm always here for you, but you sound like this is pretty serious. Do you want to tell me what happened?"
Claudia: "I, how do I say this, I have been assaulted."
Denise is silent...
Claudia: "I know it sounds horrible, but I don't know how else to describe it. It wasn't a random attack or anything like that. I was sexually assaulted in my own home while Mike was out of town."
Denise: "Oh my God, Claudia, I'm so sorry to hear that. That's horrifying. Have you called the police?"
Claudia: "I can't, Mike knows. He's been so supportive, and he trusted me so much. But he agrees for two reasons why we can't call the police."
Denise: "Two reasons? What do you mean, Claudia? You have to tell me this. I want to help."
Claudia: "The first reason is that although I was initially forced, something happened during the night and I began to enjoy it, even begged for more."
Denise: "Oh, you liked it? Hmm, that isn't like you. I mean, I know you've never been adventurous and enjoying it is unlike you. And the second reason?"
Claudia: "The second reason is...it was Alec. He did things to me I can't describe. I just can't call the police. It would destroy the family. I need to find a way to make it right, to fix it with Mike, without having our brother go to jail."
Denise: "Just what did he do to you? You're saying that it was our own brother? I mean, I know we're close with the whole family, but I can't even imagine... That must have been terrible. What did he do first?"
