The journey to Paul's Aunt and Uncle's place had been slightly tense. His parents had been chastising him for not having his life together since before they had left home.
Paul had finished college a few months before, but was undecided of his next steps. His Mother, Kate, had again asked him what he was doing about getting a job and, as usual this had led to some heated discussion.
"...and then you could afford to get your own place, or at least start contributing like your sister does." his Dad, John, added to underline the points already made.
Paul was fuming with anger, not helped when her looked across from his side of the car's back seat to see his 22 year old sister, Jenny, sneering at him. She had always been the golden child and seemed to get forgiven so easily for all of her indiscretions. There had never been any discussions about Jenny having to move out. Paul strongly suspected that this was because his Dad liked having the house filled with her hot friends.
Hopefully this would all be dispelled once they arrived. It was the first time in a while that the two sides of Paul's family had got together. He was looking forward to seeing his cousin, Tom, although apprehensive as they usually managed to get into trouble.
Tom and Paul had grown up together and were now both 19. He sometimes felt that they had allowed themselves to reveal rather too much to one another. From swapping porn to discussing girls they knew to admitting to fantasies involving members of their friendship circle and even family.
Paul followed his family into the house where they were warmly welcomed by his Dad's brother, Phil and his wife, Julia.
Julia was, as ever, effusive about seeing them, hugging them each in turn. She was a fairly short lady which only acted to accentuate her curves. Paul couldn't help but notice that her outfit was maybe just a little more revealing than usual, with slightly more cleavage and leg on show. It wasn't that out of the ordinary and Paul just enjoyed the view.
His Mum did drop a comment about liking Julia's new top, something that she responded to by sticking her chest out a little to show it off more. This movement made her nipples stand out a little through the fabric as she thanked Kate. Paul observed his Dad's gaze drawn to the prominent bumps.
Paul always got a mix of pleasure and discomfort when Aunt Julia pressed her large tits against him for a hug. As she squeezed him tightly, she made small talk with everyone about how wonderful it was to see them and that the twins, Tom's older brothers, would be joining them a little later.
She added that unfortunately, May, their oldest, had been drafted in for an extra shift at work last minute. This elicited a sigh from Jenny, who had been looking forward to spending some time with her cousin and regular partner in crime. Paul and his Dad also felt a sense of disappointment, although they were more subtle about it. May had a tendency to push the boundaries of what was acceptable to wear even further than Jenny did.
As soon as Aunt Julia released him, Tom was grabbed by his cousin who had appeared from upstairs. As he was pulled urgently away from the rest of the family, he heard his Mum make some comment about the boys clearly having some important catching up to do and his Aunt start offering them all drinks.
"We'll be back in a minute, Mum" shouted Tom as he dragged Paul upstairs to his bedroom and closed the door behind them. Tom was a little taller than Paul, skinny with a messy mop of light brown hair that almost covered his eyes.
He was excited, out of breath and spoke quickly and quietly to Paul, drawing his attention to a cardboard box he had just pulled out from under his bed. The box rattled as he lifted it onto the bed and Paul could see it contained a number of small plastic bottles.
"I found these in my Dad's office last week" Tom whispered to Paul, who was examining the bottles. Each was labelled with a letter and clearly contained some sort of pill.
"I guessed the dirty old fucker had bought some boner pills online or something," he chuckled. This seemed a believable suggestion to Paul. Both lads were very aware of Phil's darker, dirtier side, having checked through his browser history and 'hidden' hard drive together quite regularly. They'd also listened in on him and Julia having sex a few times, giggling and mimicking the sounds, but also ending up secretly quite aroused by the action.
Tom continued, "But then I found this..." He produced a small piece of paper and pushed it into Paul's hand. Paul read it through, thinking that it must have been some kind of joke.
"WARNING USE WITH CAUTION: PERSONALITY PILLS. Each pill will modify the behaviour of the subject for about 6 hours. Subsequently, subject will fall into a deep sleep awaking refreshed and unaware of what happened under the influence of the pills. Some residual effects may be observed. See menu below for details. A higher dose will have a stronger effect. Combinations of pills may produce unpredictable results. Pills are instantly soluble and tasteless. Non-toxic, but results may vary and we accept no responsibility for outcomes." Paul laughed out loud as he finished, only to be shushed by his cousin. Their eyes met and he could see that Tom wasn't joking.
"So, you're telling me your Dad has bought a box of 'magic sex pills'? What a mug! You don't think he's tried them do you?"
"Look in the box," Tom encouraged him.
Paul quickly noticed that the seal on the bottle labelled 'C' had been broken. Checking the menu on the paper, he read aloud "C: Slutty lady. Female only. Lowered inhibition, heightened libido. Subject will desire sex constantly and do all they can to get what they want." Paul again laughed.
"He must've tried these out while you and I were on that trip last month." Tom whispered excitedly. "I thought there was something odd about his behaviour before I left and after I returned. And surely you must've noticed Mum flashing the goods even more than usual?"
Paul thought back to their greeting and had to agree that although his Aunt was not averse to a well-fitting, revealing outfit, it wouldn't usually be for this kind of do.
"It's subsided a bit over the last couple of weeks," Tom continued, "but to start with she was very... um... hands-on and kept wandering around the place wearing very little and flirting outrageously with anyone she met. I thought she was having some kind of mid-life crisis and then I found these. I've been dying to show you."
Paul remained sceptical but could see that his cousin was deadly serious. "So have you checked where he might have got them?" he asked.
Tom replied "I've searched and searched online and found nothing listed anywhere. I'm wondering if they might have been something he got from work?" Uncle Phil worked for a big pharmaceutical company and the exact nature of his work was something he frequently told them he couldn't discuss. He usually dispelled their questions with some little joke about saving the world or having to kill them if they found out too much.
"Do you want to try them out?" Tom blurted out excitedly.
Paul was more reserved, actually a little nervous. "How and when are we gonna find ourselves in a situation where that was even possible?" he asked, realising as he spoke that his cousin meant they try them out right now.
"You've got to be fucking mad" Paul shouted, to a series of 'shushs' from Tom.
"I only meant the... um... less aggressive ones so we can see if they're for real" Tom responded.
"We can't, this is our fucking family! What if it all goes wrong?" Paul was trying to remain the voice of reason here. However he couldn't help but find himself curious and actually very aroused by the idea of fucking his family up. It would be a hot way to get revenge for the way they've treated him recently. "We can't." he said in such a weak, non-committed way that Tom realised he might be able to win this one over.
"Look, I know you'd just love seeing them all act a bit weird and uncomfortable, especially that bitch sister of yours." Tom laughed.
Paul couldn't deny his sister was such a pain. She was used to getting her way and used her looks as a means to achieve it. She regarded her brother with total contempt. As for his parents, well they deserved to be brought down a peg or two. So, much as he did love them all really, he couldn't deny that he liked the idea of messing with their heads for a few hours. He still had reservations about doing it alongside Tom, who had a tendency to push things too far.
"Look", Tom pleaded, "Pill F would be a great fun one for our Mums."
Looking down the list, Paul read "F: Party Girl. Female only. Fills subject with the desire for fun and makes them the life and soul of the party. Excitement, dancing and drinking become their main drives." He knew his Mum had been a big-time party girl in her youth, he'd been told stories of all night raves and clubbing and it was something he could hardly equate with his calm, professional mother. He had to admit it would be entertaining to see that side of her unlocked.
"And pill M for our dads" Tom continued. What Paul read reminded him of his first thought when he saw the box. "M: Big man. Male only. Gives subject peak sexual prowess. An almost unstoppable erection and ability to ejaculate repeatedly. Accompanied with a gentle desire for sex. May cause swelling."
"Sounds like it could be a little dangerous?" Paul questioned.
Tom was quick to respond, he'd clearly given this a lot of thought. "Oh come on, it'll just make them uncomfortably hard and make it more difficult for them to hide those cheeky looks they both grab of any women they see. They deserve it."
