Alex's sister was getting married, her life was settled and sorted out. She was three years older that him, had a good job, a fiancΓ© and a bright future. Alex was twenty-one, it was October 2013 and he'd graduated from university in the late spring, but he was aimless, jobless and single. The phrase 'considering his options' had worn a bit thin.
He lived in small midlands town with his mother, Glenda, and sister, Nicola. His father, Greg, formerly a finance officer for a large agricultural machinery dealership, was in jail regretting the financial fraud he had committed three and a half years ago to pay off his massive gambling debts. There had, of course, been a financial impact on the family, they had been forced to sell the large house they owned and had moved into a three bed semi-detached house nearer the centre of town. His mother was a high flying management and accountancy consultant, she was well paid and the family, minus his now divorced as well as jailed father, was finding its feet financially. Once the expense of her daughter's wedding was over, his mother was looking to move to a large four bed detached house in a leafy part of town.
Unemployed Alex spent his days at home, pottering around the house, playing computer games, doing errands for his mother, preparing meals; and living with perpetually drying women's lingerie. Both his mother and sister were in professional jobs and they dressed in smart skirt suits and heels for work. Alex had a constant battle with his swelling cock whenever he saw their stockings, suspenders, bras and panties drying on a clothes airer in the kitchen. He wasn't really worried that it was his mother or sister that turned him on; he was as certain as he could be that it was just the abundance of their sexy feminine lingerie on display that made his cock twitch. His cock seemed often to be in a state of arousal, especially when, as she dashed off to work, his busy mother sometimes asked him to make himself useful and hang the provocative items up to dry when the washing machine had finished its cycle.
Since coming home from university, he had spent a lot of time in the house on his own and some days, most days in fact, he found it very hard to resist wrapping his mother's panties around his cock while he masturbated. Yes, okay, they were his mother's panties, but it wasn't her that aroused him, it was just her sexy underwear. Any son would find it hard to resist, he'd convinced himself. Fantasising about wearing his mother's stockings and suspenders while he masturbated was hardly an act of incest.
********************
His sister was getting married to Luke, a civil engineer. There was much ado about the wedding plans, his sister and mother were constantly asking him to run errands. Things were getting fraught but, thankfully, the big day had arrived. The wedding was to be held at small, beautiful rural church ninety minutes drive away, in a hamlet near the Welsh border. Glenda had booked the family into an expensive hotel in a nearby border town.
Glenda's cousin Fiona, a writer, also divorced, was coming over from the United States to attend the wedding. She arrived the day before and was staying over with the family for a week. The plan was for Alex to drive her to the wedding venue, then they would stay over at the hotel for the night with the rest of the family and come back the following day.
As a boy, Alex had seen a lot of Fiona, their families had lived in the same town until Fiona divorced her husband and moved to the States. He had only seen her twice in the last decade, the last time five years ago. Technically she was his first cousin once removed but they had always regarded each other as aunt and nephew.
Alex remembered his 'Aunt' Fiona as a very attractive and desirable woman whom he'd had the hots for, and had been the subject of his masturbation fantasies many times. She was forty seven, the same age as his mother.
Glenda and Fiona were more like sisters than cousins, their mother's were twins, so it was no surprise that Glenda and Fiona looked so alike. At five foot ten, Fiona was an inch taller than Glenda but, otherwise, they were very much alike with long black hair and dazzling green eyes of Irish ancestry. Their facial features were almost identical, and their genes had given them shapely well toned bodies that had stayed firm into their mid to late forties. They also shared a colourful past together.
It had vaguely occurred to Alex that he was highly sexually attracted to a woman who looked so like his mother, but It wasn't a thought that he dwelt on too often as he pumped the shaft of his penis to his favourite fantasy of fucking his 'aunt.'
Early on the morning of the wedding, Glenda called in at the florists, but she left behind the corsages. She suddenly realised her mistake as she was about to set off for the church with her brother's family. She asked Alex to dash to the florist before he and Fiona set off. This put them half an hour behind schedule but still with just enough time to make it to the church.
It had rained heavily for the previous thirty six hours, river levels were very high and flood water was lying in the fields as they set off on their journey. After and hour or so on the road, they came to a halt behind a long queue of traffic. Alex switched the car radio on and heard a report that a bridge just up ahead had been swept away. He turned back and spent twenty minutes trying minor roads but came up against flood waters each time. Eventually, he got back to the main road, he knew they'd be late now, but he thought that if he could go back ten miles or so to the motorway, he'd be able to find another, albeit much longer, route.
Before long, he came up behind another traffic queue. After waiting an age, a police car passed them on the other side of the road informing drivers that the river up ahead had burst its banks and the road was closed. He realised that they were stranded but he remembered passing a roadside hotel further back so, thinking that other people would have the same idea, he quickly turned the car around and made for the hotel.
Inevitably, there was only one room still available and it was a double. Fiona smirked to herself as he agreed to take the room and said to her in a low voice that he would sleep on the floor. He left her to settle in, and went to find a decent phone signal so that he could phone his mother with the bad news. The best signal was out in the car park but it was weak.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
"Only just, can you speak louder Alex, where are you? The wedding's about to start"
"I'm shouting as it is mum, listen, bad news I'm afraid, the bridge at Ledford has been swept away by flood waters, and we can't go back the way we came because the all of roads are flooded to the east of here. I'm afraid we're not going to make it to the wedding."
"Oh no, surely not, Nicola will be so disappointed, is there no way through?"
"We've tried the minor roads but we keep coming to a watery dead end, luckily we've found a Paramount Inn so we've got somewhere to stay for the night."
"Oh heavens, is there really no other way through?"
"I'm afraid not mum, the police are closing roads all around this area, I've spoken to an officer and she's been told that, providing there's no more rain, river levels will peak at about eight o'clock this evening, so with a bit of luck, the main road back home might be passable late tomorrow afternoon"
"Oh dear, what a shame, but I'm not surprised, the water was right up to the top of the arches when we crossed the river at Ledford earlier; it was flowing so quickly"
"I'm sorry mum."
"Oh if only I hadn't sent you to get the corsages that I left behind at the florist, you'd have got through in time before the bridge collapsed, it's all my fault."
"No it's not mum, how were you to know that the bridge would be swept away?"
"Oh dear, how is Fiona taking it?"
"Like me really, she's resigned to our fate."
"And she's come all the way from the States for this."
"It's no one's fault mum, we'll find a way to make the rest of her stay special."
He had no idea how prophetic his words would become.
"Well at least you've found a bed for the night and you won't have to sleep in the car. It's fortunate that you were close to the hotel, I know the one you mean, we passed it on the way here, you're lucky, it'll soon be full I suppose."
"Yes, we, er, we managed to get the last two rooms."
He lied instinctively, he didn't want to have to answer any questions about sleeping arrangements with his Aunt. Fiona seemed to him to be very self contained about the whole business as though she knew something he didn't.
"Look mum I'd better let you go, give Nicola and Luke our love and our apologies, we'll be thinking of them."
