Thanksgiving with our parents was initially a very difficult and painful experience for my sister Jen and me, but it served to knock down one final barrier in our lives. We actually felt a sense of relief that our parents know knew about our love for each other, though we clearly spared them the sordid details. We never intended to cause them grief or heartache, but we weren't about to deny what we truly felt about each other. We didn't want to continue to deceive them and live our lives like it was a lie. It was out of our hands now and up to our parents to accept that their son and daughter were lovers or disown us as their children. We could only hope that they would accept our relationship in the end and continue to be part of our lives.
I can honestly say that after the big reveal, Jen and I never had a serious discussion about whether what we were doing was wrong or whether we should stop. We never entertained those thoughts. Jen had some prior sexual experience with a couple guys, but she couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. Though I lacked sexual experience prior to Jen, I seriously doubted that I could feel about another woman the way I felt about Jen!
Weeks passed before mom called and spoke to Jen. She said she was seeing a counselor to help her deal with this revelation of sibling incest, but dad was not interested in even bringing up the subject. He was sort of in denial about the whole thing according to mom. At least mom was making an effort. It gave us hope, but we would definitely be spending our first Christmas together alone.
Fortunately for us, our new found friends, Cathy and Mark, were going to be staying for the holidays as well, so at least we would have company to celebrate with!
Jen and I didn't have a lot of money to spend, so our gifts to each other were pretty meager. Jen got us both a Christmas ornament that commemorated "Our First Christmas." She got me a sexy negligee that she wore to bed Christmas Eve. I got her a necklace, which was a pretty fair exchange, I would say. No, not a pearl necklace.
New Year's Eve was extremely eventful. Jen and I and Cathy and Mark walked to a local bar to ring in the New Year. We drank and danced and drank some more. At the drop of midnight, we kissed passionately, assuring each other that this next year would be even better than the last.
"Oh my god! Jenny?" Shouted a voice from the crowd.
Jen turned around to be greeted by Chad Baumgartner, a guy from high school who she dated a couple times. He was a bit of a jerk and he dumped her when he couldn't get to first base with her after the second date.
"Jenny! It is you! Happy New Year!" Chad said as he grabbed and hugged her. He was clearly inebriated, but then again, so were we all.
Chad had seen Jen and me passionately kissing, but obviously didn't recognize me at first, so he turned his attention to me and asked Jen, "Who's the lucky guy?"
His mouth dropped when he recognized it was me. "Jason? What the hell?" He turned to look at Jen with a puzzled look on his face. "Your brother? What's going on here? Why were you kissing your brother like that?"
"That's obviously not my brother, Chad. You're blind drunk. Go away, Chad. Bye!" Jen said loudly as she turned her back on him.
Jen looked over at Cathy and Mark, attempting to gauge their reaction.
"I dated that guy, Chad, a couple times in high school and he's nothing but a dumb jock. He obviously can't hold his alcohol." My sister explained.
"I guess it's time to go home. Right sis!" I joked to Jen.
Cathy and Mark laughed.
"You know what they say, incest is best!" Mark said laughingly, trying to make light of the awkward situation Chad had just created.
We continued to joke about it on our drunken walk home.
"Hey you guys! Mark and I have a confession to make." Cathy exclaimed seriously. "We're not actually married. We're really brother and sister, just like you guys."
We all stopped in our tracks and looked at Cathy. She looked at us straight in the eyes and let out a huge laugh.
"Come on, let's go to our place and I'll blend up some margaritas." Mark offered.
We were all pretty fucked up to begin with by the time we arrived at Cathy and Mark's apartment, but those margaritas sure were tasty. To top things off, Cathy brought out a joint and lit it up and passed it around as we had done on several other occasions. Jen and I weren't regular smokers but liked to get high with Cathy and Mark once in a while.
As Mark poured everyone a margarita, Cathy questioned Jen further about their earlier encounter with Chad. "So Jenny, does Jason really look anything like your brother? Because, honestly, you and Jason could pass for brother and sister. You two do look remarkably like you could share the same genes."
"Jason shares his genes with me every time he cums." Jen giggled nervously. "Seriously though, you know what they say; couples tend to look like one another after a while. I think people have a tendency to be attracted to someone who looks like them."
"You're right." Mark interjected. "We were studying in psychology class the other day that many women are attracted to men who resemble their fathers. It's called sexual imprinting, I think. Maybe that's why some couples look alike. The woman chooses a mate who resembles her father."
"Cathy, does Mark look like your father? I mean, you two could pass brother and sister as well." Jen blurted out.
"Yes Jenny. Mark resembles my father very much. Mark also resembles his father very much. Because, as a matter of fact, his father and my father are the same person. We just have different mothers." Cathy said calmly.
"That's hilarious honey." Mark responded with a chuckle. "You know Cathy, guys. She loves to kid around."
"No Mark. These are our friends and I don't want to lie to them anymore." Cathy said in a serious tone.
Cathy continued. "It's true. Mark and I share the same father. We're less than 2 years apart in age. His mother divorced my dad, who was cheating on her with my mother. Mark lived with his mom until she passed away from cancer. Mark was 15 years old, when he moved in with us. It took a while for us to act on our mutual attraction, but it was undeniable that we were in love. Obviously, we're not legally married. We'll tell you the whole story one day. But first, you have to be honest with us. The reason why I'm sharing this with you guys is because I've had the sense all along that the two of you are sibs also, aren't you?"
