Chapter Three
I finished showering upstairs a little before mom finished her own shower. We had about ten minutes to collect ourselves and look busy planning for the wedding when Ted, Cassie, and Aunt Liz got back. The girls looked like nothing was out of the ordinary, but my brother's demeanor spoke volumes. From the minute he walked in the door, his eyes were focused off in the distance, he had the beginnings a smirk on his face, and he failed to realize when people were talking to him until the second or third time.
He'd had a good time chauffeuring the girls around town, there was no doubt about it.
I almost envied him. Though my day was hardly off to a bad start, it was hard not to feel a pang of jealousy knowing my brother had almost certainly had these two beautiful women sucking his dick at the same time. And God were they beautiful. Where Bridget was a bit too slender, at least for my taste, and mom had all the curves I enjoyed but would still probably register as a bit too much for many guys, my sister and my aunt were more in the middle ground. Cassie was a bit closer to my mother's voluptuousness, but she was still thinner. While all four had the same classical beauty with fair skin and black hair, their shapes and sizes varied considerably, and Ted had spent the last few hours with the two your average guy would be most likely to consider "just right".
There was no reason to be jealous, of course. I too had had amazing sex with two of the women in our family that day. I could run on the memories of those experiences for months. At least, assuming the memories remained. I kept looking at my mother and finding myself surprised to find her image altered, only to remember the bubble of fantasy that had enveloped our world since I'd awoken that morning. And of course I couldn't be sure that the memories would remain even that tenuously once the bubble burst, as certainly it must sooner or later.
Thinking of which made me think if I was going to get the chance to sample the goods my sister and my aunt had to offer, I'd better make a go of it sooner rather than later. But I was so worn out from my cousin and my mother already, even if I could get it back up, I would only be torturing my poor balls trying to milk another load of semen out of them. Not to mention, it wasn't clear there would be any more opportunities.
For, as I was daydreaming about Aunt Liz sitting on my face and sucking on Cassie's tits while she rode me, my mother was discussing the arrangements for the barbeque we were hosting that afternoon. We were expecting about twenty guests, the most important of which being the family of Jason, my sister's fiancΓ©.
Most of the preparations had been taken care of already, but a few last minute things needed to be done. Rooms needed to be swept even though we'd be outside. Someone had to check to make sure the coolers had enough ice. That sort of thing.
While we were discussing who all was coming, what was going to be served and so forth, Anthony and Bridget returned, starting the conversation back at the beginning.
Before long, my dad arrived with the rest of the supplies, and his friend Karl in tow. Karl was the father of the maid-of-honor, and my dad had met Karl the same way Cassie had met Michelle: through me being friends with Karl's oldest son, Keith.
As one might expect with such a tight circle, it wasn't long after Karl arrived that Michelle and Keith did as well. While the barbeque wasn't supposed to start for another hour, that probably only meant that the Thompson's wouldn't be there until then. All of the guests on the bride's side felt free to drop by early.
It was a bit of a downer as it meant there certainly wouldn't be time to try and bed any other members of my family, but it wasn't an unpleasant interruption. The beer was flowing, the conversation was full of laughs, and everyone was allowed to forget about all the stress the wedding had brought.
I watched closely to see if anyone outside the family observed the changes in the appearances of the women in my family. Neither Karl nor Keith said anything. Michelle told Cassie how beautiful she looked, but Cassie hadn't picked her as her maid-of-honor for nothing. The two were practically sisters.
But the changes hadn't reversed. While it would appear that everyone else still saw an out of shape middle-aged mother of four when they looked at my mom, I saw the irresistible sex goddess I'd nailed that afternoon. Clearly Ted saw much the same. He'd more or less recovered from his experience with Cassie and Aunt Liz, as he was now capable of recognizing that people were talking to him on the first try, but his jaw was slack and he hadn't stopped grinning.
More and more people arrived, and I sensed a good opportunity to disappear for a few minutes. There were so many side conversations that I obviously couldn't be expected to talk to all of the guests. Therefore, it became easier to talk to none of them. Several of the girls were discussing floral arrangements while a group of the men were discussing the terrible year the Yankees were having. Nothing important anyway. I told Ted there was something I wanted to show him inside, grabbed myself a fresh beer, and dragged him into the den.
"You've obviously noticed something strange going on today," I said.
He hesitated before nodding. "Yeah."
"Enjoying it? And feeling pretty disgusted with yourself for enjoying it?"
He nodded. "Yeah. Although I don't know how bad I should feel about it anyway. Is any of this real?"
"I don't know. That's exactly what I've been wondering." It didn't surprise me that Ted wasn't feeling very guilty. I was clearly coping with my guilt, and I'd also been the most introspective and most conscientious brother. Not that Ted was half as self-absorbed as Anthony. Where I was always questioning my moral compass, Ted was completely confident in his, and no one was sure how much of one Anthony really had. That was why I was on my way to becoming a university professor while Ted was a proud lieutenant in the army.
"The fuck could have caused it?" Ted asked.
Perhaps I should have been surprised that he'd stopped to think that much about it instead of devoting all his energy to figuring out how he was going to add the rest of the women in the family to his list. But for all that Ted wasn't given to questioning whether what he was doing was right, he was more predisposed to thinking about solving problems than a lot of people gave him credit for. "Hell if I know."
"That's your answer? Come on, professor. Haven't you got any tentative hypotheses or whatever?"
I shook my head. Truth was, I hadn't thought much about it. I guess because I had a scientific mind, and it told me the explanation for this wasn't likely to be natural.
"Okay. Me either. But one thing I feel pretty sure of. It's got to do with the wedding, and that's when it'll end," Ted said.
"How do you know that?"
