The last thing that Linette Culbert ever thought was that one day she'd be confused over her sexuality. Now twenty-four, she had waded into her teen years like most "normal" girls—she liked boys. Being pretty, she had no problem attracting them either. She went to parties, went on dates and had a couple of long-term, "serious" relationships between college and graduate school. Yes, there were those weird flirtations with Drake, her dad, but nothing came of them until that last father-daughter dance at the Hillandale Country Club. Then, in a manner of speaking, the dam broke. After the dance, she and Drake consummated their mutual desire back at her apartment. But prior to that, before the dance ended, she and gal pal Cassie Chunko, also at the dance with her dad, indulged in some lesbian foreplay in the ladies' room. Cassie had insisted that she was no lesbian—she was simply helping Linette out. Linette got into it, would have climaxed on her feet had it not been for those girls who came into the rest room, unknowingly putting the kibosh on the women's indulgence.
She and her dad have tentative plans for an encore after the next father-daughter dance. But that's a whole year away and Linette doesn't think she can wait that long. Speaking of encores, she wouldn't mind having one with Cassie Chunko. She can still feel her friend's skillful fingers working their magic inside her pussy, and she'd like another go-around, this time in the privacy of her own place. As if this isn't enough, she's being pursued by a guy she met shortly before the father-daughter dance, a one Anderson Quick. He's near her dad's height of six-four, one the few guys she's met that she can, literally, look up to, even in heels. He's smart, he's good looking and, as far as she knows, he's straight as an arrow sexually. She can imagine what his reaction might be if she told him what she did. She laughs out loud at what she might say: "Anderson, in the interests of full disclosure, I've engaged in incest and lesbianism. Both in the same night."
First things first. It's early Saturday morning, a few hours before she's to meet Drake at the boathouse for a sculling workout. Drake rowed for Boston College and, like Linette, he does it now to keep fit. Linette hasn't yet told Drake that waiting a full year for another father-daughter bonding session is a year too long. Should she really tell him that or hold off? She debates the pros and cons while sitting at her kitchen table wrapped in a robe, sipping her coffee and reading the paper from her laptop. At least she's TRYING to read the paper. Thoughts of she and Drake engaged in deviant behavior distract her. Digesting the day's news isn't easy while picturing herself and Drake doing things in the boathouse that could get them banned from the boathouse at best, arrested for lewd behavior in public at worst. She feels her fingers creeping toward her crotch, slipping inside her robe, then slipping inside her. She's horny as hell and it isn't even eight o'clock yet. "I must be some crazy nymph," she says out loud. Either that or it's a case of giddy anticipation. Or perhaps it's both. She could use her vibrator. So easy—and so boring. If only Cassie were here. She hopes that what happened that night wasn't just a onetime thing. Cassie's no lesbian and neither is she. Even so, she can't deny that watching Cassie's boobs while being fondled gave her a rush. Had she the time or the gumption that night at the Hillandale, she might have torn open Cassie's blouse and attacked her massive boobs tongue-first.
"These digressions are serving no purpose except to make me more frustrated," she says. She gulps down the last few drops of java, closes her laptop and then retreats to her room to dress. She throws off her robe, then gives her bod a critical look in the full-length mirror that hangs on her door. She's built like a rower, tall, with long legs and arms becoming more muscular now that she's working with weights and machines. Her boobs could be bigger, her butt narrower. Always room for so-called improvements, right? Improvements in quotes. Cassie's got the boobs and the conventionally feminine female form, soft and curvy. Linette, as Drake pointed out, is built like the athlete she is and she shouldn't be so envious of what she's not. Instead, she should focus on her assets, her dad had advised her. Good advice; she'll try.
Meanwhile, the weather is ideal for rowing today—breezy with temps in the sixties. She can wear her black spandex shorts and her lightweight green, long-sleeve team jersey. She doesn't plan on anything happening on par with what happened after the father-daughter dance, though she wouldn't object if it did. No intimacy with Drake for another year? Perish the thought.

Drake shares Linette's sentiments. He'd be up for more sooner if not for the not so minor inconvenience of being married to Linette's mom. All had not gone smoothly after he had returned home from ostensibly helping Linette with her training routines. He now could kick himself for not taking a shower before leaving his daughter's place, washed the distinctive, pungent odor of sex from his body. He didn't, and his wife Elaine had noticed it. Their tense conversation had gone something like this:
"Did you and Linette have a wrestling match or something?"
"Yes, and she won. That's one strong daughter we've got."
"Come on, Drake, seriously."
He shrugged.
"You reek of Linnie all over."
"You're kidding."
"I know what our daughter smells like."
"We were hunched close at her kitchen table. Remember, Elaine, we had danced together before that."
"Well, you must have danced and hunched awful close to smell like that."
"I guess we did."
"Yeah, I guess you did, too."
And that was that until now as Drake slips on his blue warm-up jacket preparing to leave for the boathouse. Elaine, her still dark brown hair knotted up, dressed in yellow slacks and matching jacket, jangles her car keys, close to leaving for some Saturday morning shopping. They're standing in the dining room just a few feet apart. The air between them hasn't thawed since Elaine's query into her husband's scent. She knows that Drake and Linette are going rowing this morning, something that Drake knows Elaine wouldn't even think to question before a few nights ago.
She tosses her keys a foot in the air, then catches them. "Guess you and Linnie will be hunched close in that boat today, huh?"
"We'll be in cramped quarters, Elaine," he says, looking annoyed. "Those shells are small." He grits, struggling to stay civil. "Look, it's about time you tell me what's eating you. You apparently think something improper went on between Linnie and me. Right?"
"I didn't say that. But why would you even assume that's what I was thinking?" Pause. "Unless..." She lets her word UNLESS hang in the air like something to be swatted, her face a picture of scolding condescension.
"Unless what, Elaine?" His face is a picture of defiance. He crosses his arms against his chest, as if daring her to go further.
She tosses her keys again. "Look, I gotta go. Tell Linnie to please call me after your rowing workout."

Linette, from her position in the bow, pays rapt attention to what Drake is saying as they row just past the inner harbor. "So what you're telling me, dad," she responds, "is that mom suspects that we engaged in hanky panky after the dance."
"All because I didn't take a shower."
"I'm as much to blame as you. I should have thought of that. Now what?"
"Now what? Now we just enjoy each other's company, the exercise and this fabulous weather."
She knows he's right. She also knows she's still horny. Her body tingles with anticipation and desire as they row past the glass-walled office buildings, towering over the inner harbor in all their gleaming corporate splendor. From a mile away, she can see sailboats and cargo ships sailing down the Patapsco toward the Chesapeake Bay. Her newly developed muscles flex and contract with every stroke, giving her that familiar endorphin high. Her ponytail swings in the breeze.
She's not looking forward to calling her mom because she figures, per what Drake told her when they picked up their shell in the boathouse, that Elaine will question her the way she questioned Drake. Tell her the truth? Out of the question. She might be horny but she's not purposely destructive. She's not looking to wreck her parents' marriage or create more distance between she and her mom than there is already. She loves Elaine—she thinks—simply because she's her mom. She can't say she likes her. Sparks flew between them ever since she was in grade school. Sparks fly now. It's a strained relationship, replete with Elaine's judgmental comments—'you should have done this or that.' They argue a lot. Recriminations abound. Linette can't help but wonder if screwing her dad is a way of getting back at her mom. In any event, she's not looking forward to that phone call. She IS looking forward to feeding her hunger for a bedroom encore with her dad. Only next time he better take a shower.
Will there be a next time? She can only hope. An hour later, after they've turned their shell back in, she faces Drake beside her blue Chevy Cruze. "Dad, I know that too much of a good thing isn't always such a good thing. However, well, right now I'm incredibly hot for you and was just wondering if you felt the same about me."
His eyes go to her full, shapely thighs wrapped in tight spandex. "I'm trying not to, but yes. Considering how long I've felt this way, it's not something I expect to get over soon, if ever."
