Recently, my sexuality has been awakened by a most unlikely circumstance. It took me a long time to come to grips with it, but now I'm completely grateful, and I couldn't be happier that it happened the way it did.
I haven't had a sex life since my daughter's father walked out on us about 16 years ago. My daughter was almost 3 at the time and I really didn't have anyone to turn to, so I just did what I had to do. Unfortunately, that left little, or no time for me. I don't even think I thought about sex much during that time. Looking back, I don't know how I did it, but I guess there were just too many other things to deal with. I wish I could go back and do it differently, but I can't. Now that I'm pushing 40, I've finally re-discovered my sexuality, with the help of the most important person in my life, and I wouldn't change that for the world.
My daughter is now 19, and quite a beautiful girl. She was always a bit shy and inward so most people didn't notice it. When she was in high school, she spent most of her time with a book rather than worrying about being popular, which for a single mom was a dream come true. She had just a few close friends, and I knew them all, and their families very well, and she and I were very close. I'm not stupid enough to think that I knew everything she did, but I knew she was a good kid, and I knew that if she ever had doubts or questions about anything, she would come to me without hesitation.
Over the years, I'd heard some talk about boys between her and her friends, but I never met anyone she called a boyfriend. We'd talked about sex, so I knew she was well informed. I just figured that she was too shy. I couldn't believe, even when I saw it with my own two eyes, what she was keeping from me.
One night, a few weeks after her nineteenth birthday, she told me that she was going to her friend Michelle's house to watch some movies. She was gone about an hour when I noticed that she left her cell phone behind, and I figured she wouldn't want to be without it. I was on my way out to have some dinner with a friend from work, and figured I'd drop it off to her.
I walked up to the door and was about to ring the bell when something inside caught my attention through the bay window. The experience was surreal as I slowly leaned forward to peer into the big picture window. There, on the living room couch was my daughter, Michelle, and of all people, Carolyn, Michelle's mother, all completely naked. My daughter was lying on her back with one leg on the floor and one on the back of the couch. Michelle was kneeling on the floor next to her, licking her breasts and playing with herself, while Carolyn was knelt between my daughter's open legs, working her fingers into my daughter.
I suddenly found myself back at home, sitting on my own couch. I felt cold and it was difficult to breathe. I couldn't remember how I'd gotten here. I almost thought that I had somehow fallen asleep and dreamt the whole thing, that is, until I realized I was still clutching my daughter's cell phone. I couldn't believe what I had seen. It couldn't be real. It didn't seem real. I had so many feelings and thoughts running through me all at once, and I felt as if I was going to explode. Mostly anger. Anger towards Carolyn. How could she do that with my daughter? With her own daughter? What kind of sexual deviant was she to allow this...to do this kind of things with these young girls. Carolyn was 2 years older than me! What kind of mother has sex with their own children? And my daughter! How could she do this to me? How could she lie to me? What was she thinking? How could she allow herself to be a victim to this? She was smarter than that.
As mad as I was at them and the situation, I was angriest at myself. Mostly because I felt that I should have known about this. And for some reason that I could not define, I was also hurt. I wouldn't admit that at the time, not even to myself, but I knew it was there. I was hurt for the same reasons I was angry. Why Carolyn? Why not me? As sick as I thought that feeling was at the time, It was still there, and it made me angry.
Days went by, and I'd barely spoken to my daughter any more than I had too. She'd ask me what was wrong, but I'd just walk away. I couldn't look at her without being overwhelmed with anger and hurt. I'm sure she knew it was something she'd done, but probably couldn't imagine what that could be. I'm sure she wouldn't even think that I knew about her little secret. Eventually she just stopped asking me what was wrong, but I could tell she was hurt by how I was acting towards her. I'm not proud of it, but I was glad.
It was about a week after the "incident", and I was home alone. My daughter had gone back over to Michelle's. I wanted, with every fiber of my being to forbid it, but I couldn't. I would have had no reason. I still hadn't decided how I was going to deal with all this.
My stomach burned as I sat there, just imagining what was happening. As the images played in my head, I got madder and madder. I focused on the thought of my daughter wrapped in her incestuous lesbian threesome, and after some time I began to feel something besides anger. My stomach felt queasy, and the clearer the images came to me, the damper it got between my legs. I was actually getting excited. I hadn't had that feeling in so long that I'd practically forgotten what it felt like. Initially I was angry at myself for allowing this situation to make me feel this way, but I was tired of being angry. I was tired of crying and feeling hurt. I began to justify my feelings, and before I knew it, I just let them take over.
The next thing I knew I was naked and lying flat on my back, slowly giving myself my first orgasm in 16 years. Wave after wave of pleasure rolled over my body as I fingered my pussy, all the while imagining my daughter, Michelle and Carolyn.
I was enjoying my new found liberation, regardless of what circumstances brought me there, and soon after, I pulled a knitted blanket over myself and fell asleep right there.
My daughter knelt down beside the couch where I was. It was dark. I could barely make out her silhouette, even though she was just inches away.
"Mom? You awake?" Are you naked? Where are your clothes?"
My blanket was just barely covering me, making it obvious that I was naked. I re-adjusted it and looked my daughter in the eyes.
"I took them off." I still had some anger in my voice.
"Oh. Well, I'm home."
"I can see that."
She didn't say anything, and we were both silent for a moment. I don't know why, but I just blurted it out.
"How long have you been having sex with Michelle and her mother?"
"Wha..."
"Don't lie to me. I saw you."
"I..."
She didn't say anything, and I could hear her start to cry.
"Is that what you've been so angry about?"
"Yes. How long have you been lying to me?"
"Mom...I'm sorry..."
Her head fell on my shoulder, and I could feel her tears on my skin. I moved my arm and lifted up her head.
"Tell me how long!"
"I...I don't know. It only happened like three times. I'm sorry!"
"Did you do it tonight?"
She didn't answer.
"DID YOU?"
"No."
"How did it happen, and I want the truth."
"The night after my birthday – when I slept over – she told me it was my present, and she started to kiss me. I didn't want to do it I swear, but she did and I couldn't stop her. It started to feel good and...I don't know. I'm so sorry mom..."
"...And then what?"
"...And then we just did it I guess."
"...And Carolyn?"
"I don't know...all of a sudden she was just there. She kept telling me it was okay. I'm sorry mom really. It was never right. I didn't want to do it anymore, but I never felt like that before. I'll never do it again I promise. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I left because I don't want to do that anymore. I'm sorry..."
She was crying hard. I pulled her head back to my shoulder without saying a word. I began to tell her it was okay.
"Am I in trouble?"
"No."
