Not a long story and it takes a while to get to the sex but I hope it's worth the wait.
I read the email again. Heck, I read it about ten times. I still couldn't believe it. Was it a trap?
I read it one more time then filed it as a possible lead and went back to my work.
Hi everyone, my name is Stuart Carter, aged 48, a freelance journalist with a specialism in investigative journalism. Over the years I have broken a number of stories, tales of nasty people, doing nasty things to normally, vulnerable people. I have exposed cases of modern day slavery, sexual perversions which would turn the stomachs of normal people and inner city gangs of self proclaimed gangsters terrorising normal, law abiding citizens. This means that I have to be careful to protect my identity, there are too many people as a result of my work who would want to cause me pain. The money I earn from the work is too good to ignore though
Over the years I have garnered a network of people who would leak things to me. Leads which I could perhaps use to start an investigation.
I had just finished a story, a small exposé of a smuggling operation designed to bypass import duties. My exposé started in a national newspaper and then had even featured on the national broadcaster. It was good money.
So I was now sitting here waiting for a new investigation to start. I had a number of warm leads but nothing was ready for further work at this stage.
I was torn from my reverie by the sound of the front door opening then closing. A few seconds later my daughter, Kim popped her head around the study door.
"Hi Dad."
"Hi Kim. You ok?"
"Yeah, all good Dad. I've brought all my stuff back from Uni. A bit of help would be great."
Fuck, it was only when Kim got home that I remembered that she was back from university for the summer holidays. I stood and went to help her unpack her car.

It took far too long to unpack her car. She must have emptied the university not just her digs. Eventually however we were sitting in the kitchen enjoying a cold drink, chatting about her experiences at uni.
Kim was the result of a brief marriage I had with her mum. To be honest Kim was the only good thing to come out of the marriage, her mum and I being totally incompatible and it was a blessed relief when she had walked out when Kim was little. I hold no grudges but I still find it incredible that she had left Kim and I without a backward glance. I know that she moved in with a girl friend initially and there were rumours that she had shacked up with an older guy but to be honest I didn't much care. The divorce was fairly straight forward and I was left bringing up Kim on my own. It was difficult during some of the longer investigations I undertook but we got through it.
I have to be honest here. Kim is of course my daughter and I love her dearly but she is not the most beautiful woman. A few pounds overweight, well quite a few actually, glasses, frizzy hair, overall a bit gawky. I assumed that when she got older she would turn from being a bit of an ugly duckling into a swan but it never really happened. She had had boyfriends but never longer than a few days. Please don't judge me on these comments though.
Finishing our drinks, she went upstairs to finish unpacking and I returned to my study.

As I said, I didn't have much work on at the time and my mind returned to the email I had received that I had filed earlier. Retrieving it I read it again, even though I was familiar with the contents. It was from one of my contacts, someone who had given me good quality leads in the past, hence I didn't want to ignore it, it was just that what he was telling me was so unbelievable.
"S, you need to have a look at something that I have just heard about. There is an island off the coast of Africa which has been nicknamed 'Incest Island'. It helps anyone who wants to have incest sex, indeed it actually encourages it! Nothing underage, over 18's only. Very secretive of course but this is as far as I got."
He then detailed links he had found, all of which led to a dead end.
My laptop was very well secured, the firewall was top notch and very well protected, and of course anonymous, so I clicked on the links.
To my experienced eye the pages that came up were obviously fronts. They all said 'Page not found' but I knew there was a way to get past them. It only took a few minutes and I was in but unfortunately all I was into was a members login page. No problem of course and within an hour I was through.
Fuck!
FUCK!
What I saw blew my mind. It felt like it was actually promoting incest, which I suppose for its business model to succeed it had to. There was a hotel, plenty of lodges, swimming pools, everything you would expect from a normal holiday, just that all the guests seemed to be indulging in incest. The only stipulation being that participants must be over 18.
I read more, took loads of notes and vowed that this would be my next investigation. But how to proceed? Finding a website wouldn't be enough. Really I had to pay the island a visit. I had false documents that I could use of course, to hide my real name, but I would need someone to go with. I had a few friends who undertook similar work than me and we had even collaborated in the past.
I went through the possibles females who I could use, slowly ruling out each one. I might have to have sex with them to keep up appearances.
A conundrum. Who to go with?
I eventually gave up, promising to return to it the next day.

The next day I was back at it. My list had been whittled down to Simone, a 30ish independent journalist who I had worked with exposing a group of nasty loan sharks. Simone could be my fake daughter. I had fake papers for Kim (in case we had to disappear together quickly as a result of my work) and Simone could use them as they looked reasonably similar.
I emailed Simone and waited for a response.
It took over an hour to get an answer from Simone. She was working on an in depth case at the moment and wouldn't be free for a few months, possibly a year. That might work as it might take that long to arrange the visit to the island.
I started my investigations into the business.
I lost track of time. After a while, Kim poked her head around the door.
"Morning Dad."
I looked at the time.
"Almost afternoon now."
Kim poked her tongue out and left, returning a few minutes later with toast and coffee for us both.
"What are you working on, Dad?" she asked
"Early days yet, Kim," I replied, a bit nervous about the subject of my investigations in front of my daughter.
"Early days of what?"
"My work."
"Come on Dad, what's it about?"
I stopped work and looked at her, unsure how to tell her. I was backed into a corner however, I either needed to tell her or try to cover it up.
"I can't really say at the moment, Kim. I need to keep it quiet."
"Looks like a nice place, Dad. Booking a holiday?" she said looking at my screen.
I was stuck. "Look Kim, errr.......my investigation is into this place. It's not a very nice place."
"Looks nice to me. I need a holiday as well. What's wrong with it?"
"Ok. It is a place that encourages incest, between consenting adults, over 18 only."
I looked at her and she blushed. "Oh ok, Dad, I understand."
"Look, don't worry about it. I probably won't take this any further."
"Why not? It should be exposed, shouldn't it?"
"Yeah probably but let's see shall we?"
"Ok. I'm going to take a shower. See you later." With that she was gone.
