Had it not been for the look in Maxine's face, I might have passed off her possible inadvertent exposure to our son. It's not the first time that had happened. Growing up over the years, we'd all seen one another in the nude on many occasions, not to mention in various states of undress outside of that. But her look...the way her mouth hung open in startled revelation told me in an instant everything I wanted to know. Stacy hadn't just dropped the other shoe. She'd thrown it...at the two of us.
"How long?" I asked maintaining a level of civility though I could feel my face reddening. And the more it did, the whiter Maxine's got. Another dead give-away that she was caught dead to rights with her pants down so to speak.
"It's...it's...not what you think," she stammered making a last ditch effort to head me off. But it was already too late for that.
"Oh? And what should I think?" I asked her. "You've been sleeping with our son, or should I call it what it is? You've been fucking him, and he you. How long Maxine? How long?"
"You don't understand," she tried once again, weak in the knees now as she almost stumbled reaching out her hand to grab the back of one of the kitchen chairs, almost missing it, latching on, and then suddenly sitting down.
"Then how about you explain it to me?" I told her. "Or would you rather I speak to Jared about it first? By the way...where is he anyway?"
"He...he left already," she said almost too softly for me to hear.
"No doubt waiting for you at your sister's then am I right?" I asked seeing the surprised look in her eyes that I obviously knew a lot more about what was going on than she thought I did. "Maybe we should call him," I said glaring at her.
"Brad, listen please..." she almost begged. "Yes...yes, you're right, we have been sleeping together, but that only happened recently, not like it's been going on for months. It was an accident."
"Oh you mean along the lines of he tripped and sort of fell inside your pussy? That kind of accident?"
I could see she was defeated, I had taken the breath out of her by my hammering at her the way that I was. Yet...I was curious too. "How long had it been going on? How had it come about?" The fact I had myself now fucked our daughter wasn't something I was quite ready to share with her at this point either. But what she had inadvertently done, was open the door for me to spring my own little surprise on her once I had all the facts.
"Alright, why don't you tell me how it did happen then?" I said sitting down across from her in a much more normal tone of voice. She seemed surprised by this, expecting an explosion, which never came, though she did look somewhat relieved.
"It's a long story..."
"You planning on going somewhere?" I asked staring her straight in the eye.
"No," she said once again almost breathlessly. Whatever her plans had been...that was done now.
"I'm sure when you don't show up in a reasonable amount of time they'll call you. When they do...you can tell Jared something's come up. Don't tell him what, just tell him to come home. I'll deal with him when he gets here. And I'll deal with your sister after that."
Maxine just nodded her head and began.
"A couple of month's back I got approached by a guy at the gym, I don't even remember his name now, but he hit on me. I mean it when I say, I was flattered, and yes tempted too. But I didn't act on it. I swear to God Brad, I didn't!"
As funny as it may sound, I believed her. "Go on."
"Well, so naturally, I did tell Susan about it later on that same day. You and I, well...you know as well as I do, our relationship, our sex-life has been strained.
I was tempted to interrupt, but I didn't, just nodding my head urging her to continue which she did.
"I told you early on in our marriage about Susan and I, that we had fooled around together growing up as kids," she paused letting this sink in, though for the life of me, where she was going with all this, and what it had to do with Jared still escaped me.
"Yeah? So?"
"Well, it...it happened."
"What happened?"
"Susan and I..." she said sheepishly. "We were talking about it, admittedly I was aroused, and then she was...and then...and then..."
"Now you're telling me you had sex with your sister."
"Yes, it had been years since we'd done anything, but suddenly, all this pent up emotion, arousal, well...the next thing I knew, we were in her bedroom going down on one another the way we used to do when we were living at home, when we were experimenting, curious...fooling around."
"Well as interesting as this is Maxine...it still doesn't explain how you ended up fucking our son."
