Prologue
I'd spent an hour lazing in the sun before the sound of splashing water roused me from my half-slumber. Looking to my left, I saw my little sister and her girlfriend fooling around in the pool. They had a small speaker playing a drowned, hypnotic, beat that intermingled with the sound of their giggling. Ahead of me, there was nothing but sand and the Atlantic; the smell of the ocean and the gentle sun.
Life was pretty good.
Emily was turning 21 in less than a week — not so 'little' anymore. But even as she blossomed into adulthood, I still thought of her as the same exuberant young soul that I grew up with. My younger sister was the first girl to make time fly and love seem unstoppable. Everyone used to whisper about how we behaved too much like boyfriend and girlfriend. Still, I don't think anyone ever thought we'd actually do it.
My other sister, Blake, was three years older than me and I watched her transition into adulthood when I was still a teen. That sort of thing can set the tone for a lifetime, and it did. It's something familiar to everyone: the first time you notice the older girls. Well, that was Blake for me — the first girl I really 'noticed' in the way boys notice girls when the hormones get going. She had a fun, boyish, personality and could be my big sister, big brother, best friend... Sadly, sometimes she had to be mom and sometimes she had to be dad
My actual Mom is, Katherine or Kate (depending on which you prefer). I didn't notice her in 'that way' until after the siblings started our affair. A mom can make you feel uncomfortable, sometimes. Our mom was always young at heart and gloriously attractive. As her kid, you don't want to look at her when she wears that one old nightie or when her legs are encased in skin-tight nylon. First, I thought it was me being embarrassed — that I looked away because it grossed me out. Then, something clicked, and I realised the truth.
Shakespeare wrote about it, so did the Greeks, and the psycho-analysts. Apparently, everybody wants to fuck their mom.
Three years ago, we committed to a new life. Me, Emily, Blake, our mother, decided that we were done pretending. If we could be happy together, in every sense of the word, why should be we avoid it? It wasn't like we'd be having babies. Then again, Blake would often say that Emily had 'childbearing hips', but that's a story for another day.
Mom took months to make the decision final, but she eventually started divorce proceedings against our dad. I moved closer to home and gave my older sister a ring. We couldn't get married by law; still, we wanted to commit to one another.
The road to happiness was complicated. We faced massive challenges, but I couldn't be happier about where things ended up.
We'd found an enclave: an East Coast town called
Dumontane
. With the luxury of Mom's money, we invested in a marvellous home that offered privacy and space for four over three bedrooms (of which we only used one). I'd left the world IT for construction and real estate, and I was busy with renovations at an apartment we bought to resell.
It was Tuesday, Blake was serving as an acting judge in the nearby city, so she only came home for the weekends. Meanwhile, after the divorce, Mom decided to go on a 'cleansing journey'. She was in Rome after having been to Bali and Istanbul. It was just me and the two younger girls at home that afternoon.
I looked back over to the pool and noticed that the two girls were beginning to get frisky; playing grab-ass as they swam laps. They wore the teeniest of tiny bikinis: one pink and one baby-blue. Riley, my sister's girlfriend, had been around since before we were doing our thing. We had an unspoken understanding that she would
always
be around. At first, I was jealous, but I soon realised nothing could reduce the love Emily and I felt for each other. It was more than romance for us: we were family, and that was unbeatable.
They probably thought I was asleep — I shouldn't have been watching. Still, I couldn't force myself to look away. I hoped my dark sunglasses would provide the cover I needed to glare sneakily.
