WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW...
This is a story that is intend to be a part of a series grouped under MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS. Each story will be independent. The stories will ultimately cover a range of genre. These will be shorter stories of one chapter which is different from my previous efforts as a writer. I hope you enjoy them.
This is an INCEST story.
This is a story around a mother, Karen, and her daughter, Lily. Karen is 43 and Lily is 18. Both women have golden blonde hair that falls to the shoulders. Karen's breasts are D-cup, Lily's are C-cup. Lily has just graduated from high school and celebrating her 18th birthday. Lily is undecided about her next step in life, but she assumes she will be going to the local college where her two older brothers, Scott and Bill are currently attending. Karen has been a stay-at-home mom. The family have a nice home in the suburbs where Karen has been active with gardens and plantings around the yard and can regularly be seen jogging in a variety of outfits through the neighborhood. Karen's husband and Lily's father, Carl, is the local general manager of a national electronics store. They have a very comfort life.
Karen and Carl would say their sex life has never ebbed since the last years of high school when they met. Of course, Carl would quickly admit to the few people in the know (the adults in Karen's side of the family) that that probably has much to do with what they call, 'the family secret'. The two boys, obviously young men, have been a part of this secret since they turned 18 themselves and the family believes they have kept that secret well from all their acquaintances and friends but also from Lily. But now she is turning 18 years old...
MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS: KAREN & LILY
Karen's cell phone rang and she pulled it out of the pocket of the waistband of her tight running shorts. She stopped at one of the front yard flower beds upon arriving back from her run. It was one of those perfect early summer days that was clear blue skies, just a breeze, and warm but not hot temperatures. If she had been in the backyard, she might be tempted to strip off her running outfit and enjoy it completely. She saw on the screen that it was her husband, Carl.
"Wish you were here."
Carl chuckled, "You were out running, weren't you?" It wasn't really a question. Carl knew Karen and how she reacted to different things.
"How did you know?"
"Yeah, right... like we don't both know how sweating makes you horny."
Karen giggled, "That's not the only reason. Besides, it isn't the running and sweating that makes me horny, my mind just wanders to you when I am running."
He laughed. "Damn, how come our conversations always end up with me wishing I could skip work to ravage you?"
She giggled, again. "We're just lucky, I guess."
"Are the boys home, yet?"
This was finals week at college and their schedules were a mess as a result. "No, not yet." Karen sat back on the heels of her running shoes with just a hint of tension in her body. She knew what was coming next and it was her own fault.
"Honey, have you talked to Lily?" When the boys turned 18, it was Carl who had the talk with each of them as they did. Now, Karen needed to have the same talk with her daughter. This wasn't a simple 'birds and bees' talk. Like most young people these days, they have been sexually active and as a family they had planned for it for their protection. No, this was a different talk. And, Carl was right, she needed to do it and now. Her birthday was on them. Karen considered taking a shower before talking to Lily, but she knew that was more about putting it off and she couldn't do that any longer.
"Lily?" Karen called from the foyer.
"Up here, mom." The response came from upstairs.
Karen untied her running shoes and slipped them and her socks off and carried them as she climbed the stairs. The layout of the house had the master bedroom and Lily's room to the right with Scott and Bill's separate rooms to the left. There was a full bath in the middle for her sons and daughter. The master had its own bathroom suite. Karen turned right upon reaching the top, dropped her shoes and socks next to the master bedroom, and turned to Lily's room. The door was half open and she saw her attractive and fully developed daughter sorting her dresser drawers dressed in bra and skimpy panties.
"Good thing your brothers didn't come home."
"Oh, mom... they aren't due back for another hour or two." She turned around and smiled at her mom, "Besides, it's not like we all haven't seen each other in our underwear."
Karen walked in and sat on her daughter's bed and watched as she sorted tee-shirts. "Does it ever bother you, honey, that we're so relaxed about that stuff?"
"Gosh, no. If you'll remember, I was the one in the family running around naked when I was much younger."
Karen laughed at the memory, "Yes, it used to drive your brothers crazy. They were always yelling for you to put some clothes on. You were quite the little exhibitionist." Karen looked at how comfortably Lily moved around the room in her underwear now and added, "You might still be."
Lily looked at her mom, then down at herself, and giggled. "Yea... maybe, huh?"
"What are you doing? Are you getting rid of those old tee-shirts?" Lily said, yes. "Hold that one up. Oh, yes... that was one of your favorites... when you were 14?" Lily nodded. It really had been one of her favorites but it is too small now. "Put it on." Lily protested that it was too small, but relented. Karen smiled when she saw it on her daughter. "I really shouldn't be encouraging this but... look at yourself. God, that's sexy. Take the bra off." Lily gave her mom a funny look but did it. "Oh... my... God. Damn, Lily." It was ultra-tight across the breasts and didn't reach her belly button. Her nipples pressed into the worn fabric and that too cute image on the front. "That is so hot. That is really sexy and that glittery unicorn head on the front... what a contrast in impressions."
Lily looked at herself in the full-length mirror on her door. "You're right mom... you probably shouldn't be encouraging this. I think this might still be a favorite." She turned and hugged her mom, "Thanks, mom. You really are the coolest, you know." She sat down next to Karen. "So, was there something you wanted?"
Karen took a deep breath. Then, another. "There's something I need to explain to you about... something you might have..."
"Oh, no! You saw me watching you, didn't you?!? Oh, my, God... no, I'm... I didn't mean to... I just..."
Karen turned to Lily and took her by the shoulders, "Lily... what are you talking about? Watched what? What are you talking about?"
"I saw you and... dad... and..." Karen was looking at her daughter with dread now. "... and Carl and Bill. You all were in your bedroom and... you all were..."
Karen stood up and paced across the room. "Oh, my, God!" She stopped and saw the turmoil in her daughter. She sat back down and took her in her arms. She could only think that she must be so conflicted after seeing that.
Lily looked up, "I'm sorry, mom. I wasn't spying or anything. I was supposed to be at Susie's for a sleepover but I forgot something. I came back and heard noises from your room. The door was closed but not tight. I just peeked in... you were all having sex... together. I don't understand, mom."
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Well... not that, exactly. I didn't know you saw that, but... I wanted to talk to you about what that was all about. Honey, I am sooooo sorry you saw that without understanding what I need to tell you." Karen took another deep breath and hugged her daughter. She cursed herself. How could they have been so careless! "That was what has been called for generations 'The Family Secret'. My side of the family, not your father's. For generations, it has been a tradition that when you turn 18 years old you can join the family in sexual relations."
Lily turned to face her mom and seemed to be waiting. Karen asked, "What?"
"I'm waiting for you to start laughing. Or... you mean you're serious?" Karen nodded. Lily turned and looked down at her bare legs next to her mom. "For generations? Like how many generations? I mean, is there a choice? Sex with the family?"
