Steven
Once away from Kitten and in my room, I downed the rest of the whiskey, about a half pint I figured, enough to keep my parasite in the driver's seat. Leaning against my kitchenette counter, I remembered how it wasn't that long ago that I didn't even like the taste of alcohol. Less than five minutes later, I was in the shower with a cold beer and other things on my mind.
"Oh my fuck, you used Martina and Lacey every which way but Sunday."
"I figured I'd let them do Sunday with each other."
"I couldn't believe Kitten."
"Why? She's just like we are."
"I know, that's what I couldn't believe."
Look, you might wanna start thinking about that. What you used to see as extreme is pretty realistic for us, given our sex drive and what we like."
"What
you
like."
"You liked watching her get ganged as much as I did."
"Fuck... I hope she's okay with it once she sobers up."
"I got a feeling she will be one way or another."
"How's that?"
"Just a hunch. You know, she's more mine than yours when she's drinking."
"That's stupid."
"Not at all. If both you and Kitten quit drinking, you and all your almighty morals and inhibitions would be back in charge, same as her. Neither of you would know what to do with each other because the real attraction is between me and your other cousin. See?"
" ... Yes..."
"In fact, you two would probably never even see each other again over what happened at the hotel."
" ... So, what's your fuckin' point?" I asked myself.
"Nothing, I'm just saying."
"Well, I'm just saying,
shut
up
."
"What's your problem? Thanks to me, we got both Mum and Kitten dealt with. I'd think you'd be happy, but if you're just gonna bitch about it, allow me to point out that it took me less than twelve hours to do it after it took you... how many days to do exactly nothing?"
"If you think either Mum or Kitten are
dealt
with, you'd best think again."
"Tell me it isn't two giant strides in the right direction," my parasite challenged in reply. "Furthermore, I've satisfied Ashleigh's demands. Kitten is now aware of her nature, and now our long lost and mysterious aunt no longer has any excuse for keeping us in the dark about what she knows. If I were you, I'd be expecting another family meeting soon."
" ... I'll give you that."
"Damned right."
"Just keep in mind that sometimes giant strides come at a cost," I grimly reminded. "In particular, I'm wondering how long it'll be before Kitten finds out how she got kick-started, then puts two and two together to figure out how it could have happened to me."
"Let Ashleigh explain it."
"That won't change her reaction."
"Look, you need to accept that sometimes there's just nothing you can do and have some faith that you'll be able to deal and that things will work out. Trust me, alright?"
"Can we just go to bed?" I wearily sighed.
"I wanna stay in here a little longer. So nice and warm."
"Just till the beer's gone, then bed."
"Deal."
I said no more about it, thinking instead of a new and uncertain future with Kitten. The four of us. Six, if you count Mum. Good god.
This was more or less the thought in mind when I distractedly walked into my bedroom after I'd dried off, towel wrapped around my waist and screaming,
"Baaaaaa-fuuuuuckk!!"
when I was greeted by the unexpected sight of Kitten in my bed. Stanley the cat, who'd been curled up between her tits as she pet him, bolted in a frenzied panic as she jumped a foot and screamed in return. This is when I realized that, in fact, it wasn't Kitten, but Sheila, causing me to yell again.
"What the
fuck!?"
I begged when we were done, holding on to the doorframe as she lay with her hand covering her eyes, chest heaving with the fright I'd given her.
Once she was over it, she explained in a patient, level voice, "I thought I'd surprise you."
"Wh- Well, how'd you even get in?" I demanded, trying to catch my breath.
"I picked the lock and, oh my god, you're as paranoid as your
mother!"
"Picked-? ... Jesus, what do you mean you picked my lock? Who... who
does
that?"
"I do. And how else was I going to get in after you
locked
it?"
At this, she removed her hand from her eyes and looked at me as though I ought to know better. Sitting up, the sheets fell away to reveal the low cut, skimpy white lace nightie she wore. 'She looked awesome' was a blinding understatement, even with her black eye, but to break into my apartment? Really?
"O-kay," I allowed as she reached for a glass of white wine on my nightstand. "So, what's happening?"
"Nothing, I just thought we'd hang out and talk about the meeting. Where've you been anyway?"
Dropping to a seat on the foot of the bed with my back to her, I wondered what Kitten would think if she knew about this little visit as I rubbed my eyes and replied, "Out proving a point. What's been going on here? Apart from you breaking into my apartment, I mean."
"Oh, stop it, I didn't even snoop around. I like you, remember? (Giggle!)"
"Oh boy."
"Like I said, I just wanted to hang out and chat. And... maybe some sex?"
"Just because Ashleigh told Mum and Kitten that was okay doesn't totally mean it's okay, y'know."
"As far as I'm concerned, it was okay before she said that. Hell, if Kathy can have you, I sure as hell can. I still can't believe what a hypocritical bitch she's being."
"How do you feel about Kitten?"
"You mean since the fight, or the meeting?" Sheila asked.
I turned around, putting my feet up to sit Indian style on the bed as I answered, "Both. You two seemed to get pretty friendly."
"Don't mistake that for anything it isn't, kid. I'm a sexual deviant and so is she, that's it. As for the fight, I won."
"She told me you said you'd make me forget all about her."
" ... Uh, well I kinda did say that," she admitted with a quiet, sorry smile of deceptive innocence. "I was only trying to get her going,"
"Well... I'm getting closer to her. Quite close, actually."
"Oh. Mind sharing?"
"She'd probably get mad."
"No
way!
You're not gonna tell me?"
"You know there's this thing between me and her, Sheila. It's serious."
"But- Okay, I can't understand how you can be so serious about that little freak, but yes, I know you two have a thing. That doesn't mean you can't tell me, does it?"
"I'd feel like I was telling tales out of school."
"I've told you about my exploits," she pointed out.
"Look, this is pretty crazy stuff, she probably wouldn't wa-"
"Oooh, if it's crazy, you
have
to tell me," she said, getting out from under the covers.
She was grinning as she crawled towards me, the hem of her nightie as short as the neckline was low. She stopped on her knees in front of me so I could look right down the top of it, then gave me a kiss.
"Tell me."
"Sheila, c'mon, I-"
"(Smerp)"
"Oh my god, this won't change my-"
"(Smooch)"
She hardened me in seconds, chuckling at the sudden tent pole under the towel. I tried to stop her hand, but it was too late.
"Ohh, yesss," she breathed, gripping my now throbbing meat and pulling the towel away with her other hand.
I didn't even try to stop her from going down on me. She licked and sucked, not like she did during the meeting, but in a quicker, lighter fashion that was meant to tease, promising more upon co-operation. Being in a position to personally vouch for what more was available, I decided to co-operate.
Kitten
Gina was there waiting for me, but that was no surprise. Standing just inside my foyer, I recalled how Stevie had told her to forget the events in the library and to go wait for me in my apartment. She was asleep on my couch, still dressed only in her bra and panties and looked quite peaceful, staying that way as I tread quietly to my kitchenette. Mr. Sparkles intercepted me there with a mewl that I quieted with a bowl of milk and a petting.
Making myself a stiff drink, I grabbed him and headed for my balcony with a careful eye on Gina until I slipped out the crack I made with the sliding door behind the floor length drapes. Soon settled in with my chair tipped, feet on the railing and Mr. Sparkles in my lap, I was alone in the fog with my thoughts.
At first, they whirled in my head, disjointed facts, data chips of claims and experiences that had no connection until, one by one, they started to touch down, forming an overall picture I could get my senses around.
The first bit of mental data that I got plugged in was the fact that this parasite that Stevie had told me about was no joke and no hoax. It was every bit as real as the events at the hotel that proved it so, and that I had it. All Burchells had it.
The next data I had to plug in was that there were two people inside of me. This, I had trouble with, especially the fact that, as I sat there, this parasite was the one in charge, the actual 'I' that I speak of here. It was confusing, frightening, yet I knew it was true on some instinctual level that I'd been feeling since that orgasm that Auntie Ashleigh and I had shared...
"OMG..." I hissed in the fog. "That's when it... started. I felt different ever since then."
My jaw sagged as I zeroed my parasitic ability down to that event, remembering how I swooned when I looked into her eyes.
"It was her. Auntie Ashleigh and that orgasm."
"This is crazy," I whispered in reply.
"You know it isn't."
"I... I wish I could talk to Daddy right now."
" ... Daddy would never understand."
My thoughts began to whirl again before that different quality in myself, the parasite that Auntie Ashleigh had awakened, brought order again with a confidence and understanding born of me, but which I never knew I possessed.
"Things have changed. This is what Auntie Ashleigh meant when she said we face a crossroads."
