I still can hardly believe the events of the last year, and although I've never written before, I thought that writing them down might help me come to terms with what I seem to have become. Maybe you'll be able to explain it - I can't.
I'm a rather unremarkable, forty-three-year-old woman, called Hilary. I'm about five-ten tall, only a few pounds above my recommended weight, so compared with many others, relatively trim. My eyes are brown, darker than my mousy brown hair. My figure isn't bad, though my chest never grew boobs as large as I wanted.
I was never particularly gifted academically, and after a variety of organisational jobs, when I started my family, I set myself up as a freelance event organiser: things like weddings, parties, anything that anyone would pay me to make happen. My husband, Ethan, is more-or-less the male equivalent of me physically, but he turned out to be more talented intellectually, and he's managed to work himself up to lower senior management in one of those large, behind-the-scenes IT companies most people have never heard of.
We have two children, fraternal twins, Mimi and Daniel, who when the events in this story began, were twenty-one, and just finishing their degrees in different institutions in the city, while Ethan and I still live in what was once a farmhouse, way out of town.
It all started less than a week before the Easter holidays, when Mimi and Daniel were due to come back home for a few days. I heard my phone ping to tell me that there was a text message, but when I looked, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a close-up picture of a highly aroused penis, complete with a drop of clear liquid emerging from the opening of the circumcised head.
I'd seen one before, of course I had, but somehow the impact it had on me was huge. I mean, it was so in-your-face, with every detail of the engorged veins down the shaft visible. I just stood there, open mouthed, staring at my phone, unfamiliar feelings running through me. No, there was no way that a picture of an erect male organ could have aroused me, was there? I was a married woman with two children, for goodness sake, and although lovemaking with Ethan had reduced to a couple of times a month, like most middle-aged couples probably, a single image surely couldn't affect me.
It had though. I just couldn't stop staring at it for a long time, then I started to wonder who on earth had sent it to me. I didn't think it was Ethan's, though the truth was, I wasn't sure I'd recognise it if it was. Anyway, Ethan certainly wouldn't have done such a thing.
Was I being stalked, or something? It hardly seemed likely, but I had a quick look through the windows to see if there was anyone spying on me from outside. It was a scary thought, but a little thrill shot through me at the thought that there might be someone who still saw me as sexually attractive, and not just an aging mother. Was I a MILF, I wondered, not entirely sure what exactly that meant?
When I'd collected myself properly, I saw that the picture had come from my son, Daniel. What the hell? Surely, he wouldn't send his mother a picture of himself, would he? Even less, send a picture of someone else?
Then I saw a few words of text: 'Hi Mim, CU 2nt'. I confess that some bad words, that I never normally would dream of using went through my mind. I immediately assumed that the message was meant for my daughter, Mimi, who we usually called just Mim, and my son had confused 'Mom' and 'Mim' when he sent it. Goodness knows, I'd sent a few messages to the wrong people that way.
But nothing like this one, of course. Was my son really sending a picture of himself to his sister? Or maybe it was someone else, one of her boyfriends, maybe, but it still left the question of why my son had the picture, rather than the other guy. Without really thinking what I was doing, I forwarded the message to my daughter, who clearly was the intended recipient.
Damn, what on earth was I doing sending a dick pic to my daughter, let alone if it was my son's? I was just trying to work out the consequences when my phone pinged again, and a new picture appeared on the screen. If anything, this was even more shocking.
It was a close up of a ... well ... a vagina, two fingers pulling back the lips, so that the opening was, well, open. The message had clearly come from Mimi, presumably just as a reply to Daniel's message, without noticing it had been forwarded by me.
I was shocked, horrified, but yet fascinated and to my shame, even a bit further aroused. I was used to seeing my husband with an erection, but not a close-up of what was between a woman's legs. I mean, I don't normally get to see myself, do I? Did I look like this?
Well, not quite. The woman in the picture had shaved or waxed, though I thought I could see some pubic hair left above the front of her lips. The lips themselves had a brownish tinge, making a perfect arrowhead shape, coming to a point just ahead of the clitoris, the inner valley a beautiful salmon pink, the whole length glistening.
Hell, I'd never realised just how interesting and beautiful a vulva was, and I couldn't drag my eyes away from it. I'd never had the slightest lesbian inclination, apart from my sister and I feeling each other's tits while they were growing, and the sort of play at grabbing each other's bits in the girls' shower room at school. Yet here I was, fascinated by the most intimate parts of what might well be my daughter.
Apart from that, I was still stunned at the idea that my son and daughter were sending each other pictures of their private parts. It was disgusting, but yet horribly arousing, not just the pictures, but the thought of what I presumed was my son's rather beautiful shaft entering my daughter's open hole.
I started wondering whether my lips were bigger than the ones in the picture, which I couldn't help but go back to look at. I slipped my hand under my dress, then down inside my panties, trying to feel with my fingers the size of mine in comparison. Well, that was a mistake, because as soon as I touched myself there, it felt as if something had exploded between my legs, and I felt warm, wet fluid coming out of me, making my already damp panties even wetter.
No, that wasn't going to work, but I still wanted to find out whether I looked like the woman in the picture, and if it would give me evidence to decide whether the picture really was of my daughter. I went upstairs to the bedroom, took of my panties completely, and held myself open in front of the mirror on the sliding door of the wardrobe.
Damn, it was too far away to get a good enough look, though what was clear was that I was a heck of a lot hairier between my legs than whoever it was in the picture. I'd have to use my phone to take a picture, if I was going to get the same level of close-up to do a proper comparison.
Well, I don't know if you've ever tried to photograph your bits, but if so, you'll likely have discovered, like me, that it is nowhere near as easy as it sounds. I had to hold myself open with one hand, then guess the direction and hope the distance was enough for the camera to focus, and press the button to take the picture with the other.
I got lots of blurred images, then ones of a bit of hair and the bedroom ceiling, then ones mostly of my butt. I dropped the phone a couple of times, then had to wipe my secretions off it, only to find my fingers were then so slippery they kept sliding off the button, and I dropped it again. It must have been so funny to watch, that even I was giggling by the time I finished.
I stopped giggling, though, when I looked at the perfect shot I'd eventually managed to get. Yes, I did have larger lips, but mine were paler in colour, and the inside of my vulva was less salmon and more pink, all of which helped me not at all in deciding if it were my daughter in the picture I'd been sent.
The most amazing thing, though, was that I looked just as arousing as the picture. No, I thought, surely, I couldn't get excited just looking at myself? I guess Ethan must have looked at me like this, but maybe it was the thought of having a picture I could send to other people that I found arousing, or, dare I think it, having other people look at me in the flesh.
I knew it was stupid, but I couldn't seem to stop myself pushing two fingers into my hole, which was slippery with my heavily scented fluid, and rub my thumb around my clit. Shit, I couldn't remember the last time I'd masturbated, but it felt so damn good I wished I had a lot more.
I'd forgotten just how wet and slippery my gash was when I was excited. Was it my imagination, or could I really hear sucking noises like pulling a spoon out of Jell-O when I pulled my fingers out of my hole? My vagina seemed to want to suck my fingers back inside, and I loved the way my lips seemed to curl around my fingers, trying to stop them leaving.
One hand was between my legs, while the other held my phone, and I flicked backwards and forwards between the man's already oozing erection, and the woman's and my own open holes. I was enjoying rediscovering the little tricks with my fingers, that would send bolts of lightning right through me, sending my arousal soaring.
Reminding myself of the way I loved it when I pinched and rubbed the very front of my slit, ahead of my clit, then pressing hard on the hard lump of my clit itself, making my knees jerk up as the almost unbearable pleasure shot through me. Why had I stopped doing this, I wondered, when it was so unbelievably enjoyable. These days, I didn't even bother finishing myself off when Ethan made love to me, as increasingly he himself seemed to have stopped bothering to make sure I came and not just him.
I lay there, relishing the pleasure in my belly, trying to make it last, as I switched between the pictures on my phone. How could I be doing this, I thought, at the same time as the pleasure from the hand on my pussy sent waves of pleasure radiating right through me? I knew I should be ashamed, but the prospect that two of the pictures were of my own children, now adults of course, just added to the thrill.
Still, however much I'd wanted it to last, it wasn't long before I came, screaming out one of those words I'd always told the kids they shouldn't use, which just added to my shame, and I realised just what a disgusting and shameful thing I had just done.
For my penance, I spent the rest of the afternoon dusting and tidying Daniel and Mimi's bedrooms, making sure they were spotless for when they came back in two days' time. By the time Ethan came home, I'd managed to get myself more-or-less back to my normal, restrained self. As we ate dinner, I was wondering whether to mention the pictures to Ethan, when he decided it for me.
"You know, Hil, I had a strange message today. It was of, well, a woman's private parts, and it seemed to come from our daughter. The only thing I could imagine was that she'd sent it to me by mistake, intending it to go to Daniel. You know, Dad, Dan, an easy mistake to make. I forwarded it on to him, but then I started to worry that it wasn't really for him at all. I could hardly ask Mimi, could I, else she'd realise I'd seen parts of her that a father should never see?"
