Hey everyone. First I just want to say thank you to everyone that's read the first few chapters. The response has been really encouraging, and I'm glad you all like it.
I know it's got plenty of build-up, so thank you for your patience. I love taboo stories, but I also love a bit of realism, so I'm trying to balance both in every chapter.
I was able to post the first three chapters in quick succession because I largely had them all written before I submitted the first one. But from here on out updates will be slower.
And finally, thanks for all the encouragement and criticism in the comments. I really do appreciate it. But if you bring any homophobia or bi-phobia into the comments, it's going to be deleted.

Sydney and I had just had sex after our first sexual experience with Emma, or at least the first one not separated by a thin wall. While Emma and I hadn't even touched it had been a huge moment for all of us. Sydney and I were both breathing heavily after a particularly intense fuck, and I was staring up at the ceiling as she laid her head on my chest.
"What are you thinking about?" She looked up at me. I think she knew full well what I was thinking about, at least the rough details.
"It's not obvious? But yeah, I mean... that was a lot. I guess I'm wondering if this changes anything... everything."
She nodded, understanding. "Are you... I don't know... having regrets?"
I took a long moment to consider that. Then I shook my head.
"No..." Another long moment. "How do I put this?" I blinked a few times as my eyes scanned the ceiling. "Would I change anything we just did? No." I licked my lips. Maybe it was just in my head, but I felt like I could still taste a bit of Emma's juices from my kiss with Sydney. "But... am I sure I'll never regret it? Look... it'd be an understatement to say she's one of the most important things in my life. She knows me better than anyone. She's been there for me for literally my entire life. What could be worth jeopardizing that?" I sighed, and you could hear a pin drop in that room.
"On the other hand, if you told me there was a way for us to get even closer, to deepen our connection... how could I pass that up? I uhhh... I don't know if that answered the question." I turned my attention from the ceiling to Sydney, only to find that the entire time she'd apparently been looking at me with pure adoration.
"I fucking love you," she said, as her big doe eyes fluttered. "Sorry... yeah... I get what you mean. And honestly, I'm glad to hear you say that. Because I love her too, and it's exactly the same. I've never had a friend like her. And, fuck, who knows what this'll do to the friendship."
"But you're not backing out?"
She smiled, a devilish glint in her eye. "Hell no. Are you kidding? I wanna know what's going to happen next."
I couldn't help but match her smile. "Me too."
"We'll take it one step at a time. We'll figure it out together. Ok?"
"Ok." I would follow her into a burning building.
She looked up and grinned.
"Good. Now I need a nap, and then some food."
"Amen."
"And, I'll talk to her later, and let you know what's next."
I squeezed her hand. "Sounds like a plan."
And so, as the smell of sex permeated our room, we fell asleep.
When I woke up, the house was dark and quiet. A quick look at my phone told me we'd slept right through dinner time into the middle of the night. Sydney was fully out, but my stomach was rumbling. So, doing my best not to wake her, I slid out of bed, put on a pair of boxers, and walked out to the main room.
There I found I wasn't the only one in search of a midnight snack. Silhouetted against the light of the open fridge in the dark room was Emma. In this light I could tell she was wearing no more than panties and a sports bra. It wasn't lost on me that she was wearing less than she'd been when I watched her cum on my girlfriend's tongue.
I cleared my throat to let her know I was there, hopefully without scaring her, before turning on a light to the lowest dimmer setting. She turned and smiled at me. "Cold pizza?"
"Perfect."
I grabbed a few glasses and filled them with water as she set the box on the table. We sat down and grabbed slices straight from the box.
For a minute or so we just sat in silence, save for the sound of our chewing. After a gulp of water, I spoke.
"So uh... how are you doing?"
She shrugged. "Alright." She swallowed her bite. "This is a weird situation."
"Yeah."
"Like... how does this work? I mean... is it a one time thing?"
I shrugged. "If you want. Or if you're uncomfortable with it, that's totally fine."
"I'm not uncomfortable... I just don't really know what it means."
"Yeah... me neither."
"Do you want it to happen again?"
"I... I'd have to talk to Syd."
Emma shook her head. "I'm not asking Syd, I'm asking you."
"It's up to you, Em."
She chewed on her slice of pizza.
"You're avoiding the question."
I laughed and then sighed. "Yeah, I guess I am."
"So?"
"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't into it."
"I see."
"How are you feeling about it? Was it..." I didn't know how to finish the sentence, or even if I should.
"Was it what?"
"Ok? Like, did you enjoy it?"
Emma chuckled and shook her head. "Do I really have to answer that?"
"What? It's a valid question!"
"I mean... you were watching. You know... Yes ok? I liked it."
I smiled but Emma seemed a bit flustered. I put my hand out close to her, palm up.
"Hey..." She looked at my hand, and then at me. I nodded toward my hand, and she put hers in mine. I squeezed it. "I didn't mean to tease you... Or maybe I did." She laughed. "But I love you, ok?"
She nodded. "I know... I love you too, Ben."
"And whatever happens, I just want to make sure you're good, and happy, and safe."
"Thanks, Ben. You're a good brother."
"You're a good sister."
She laughed. "Yeah, sure, I'll just add that to my list of accomplishments. 'Great at sex, and a good sister.'"
I laughed and joined her. When we finished, I stood and brought our plates and glasses to the sink. I turned back and looked at Emma, illuminated by the dim kitchen light, and she looked at me. She stood, and we moved towards each other, knowing without speaking that we both needed a hug. It was perhaps more skin to skin contact than most brother-sister hugs, but it wasn't sexual. She pressed the side of her face to my shoulder, and breathed deeply out.
"I've got you." I whispered.
"We've got each other."
"No matter what."
She looked up at me. "Even through... whatever this is."
I nodded and smiled, and her smile back at me told me everything was ok. For now at least.
"Good night, bro."
"Night, sis."
I went back to bed and cuddled with Sydney. She murmured something sweet, and I kissed her head.
The next morning I woke up late, with the sun already shining through the blinds. I heard sounds coming from the living room. The space beside me in the bed was empty. I walked out of my bedroom, rubbing my eyes and yawning.
There I saw my sister and girlfriend sitting on the couch, their hands busy working on a jigsaw puzzle.
"Morning," Sydney said with a big smile.
"Mornin'"
"I was about to send a search party." Emma grinned.
I rolled my eyes and headed towards the kitchen. Emma called out, "Hot water in the kettle." We were a tea-drinking household. I prepared myself a mug and wrapped my hands around it to warm me up as it steeped before joining the girls on the couch.
We passed the morning finding all the edge pieces, sipping tea, and generally being exceedingly normal. At one point I sat back and looked at these two gorgeous women in cozy weekend clothes, giggling and telling stories as they worked on the puzzle. No one who observed this scene would know that less than 24 hours ago this trio had danced up to the line of polyamorous incest.
Syd glanced at her phone and her eyes widened. "Shit, I gotta run. Work calls."
