That night Dad did come over for dinner. We hadn't seen him in almost 2 weeks, and there were changes in the man. He lost about 10 pounds of the 30 or so he needed to lose. He was very affectionate with all of us, hugging and kissing each of us. He showed as much attention to Josie as he did to me. I think the thought of losing his family lit something in him.
Josie was really surprised when he embraced her; I saw it in her eyes as he held her. Mom also saw it, and she was grinning broadly. I don't remember ever seeing him like this before.
Mom made chicken parm with pasta and salad, and I admit, it was great to all be together again. Selfishly, though, I was thinking if my parents worked things out, things might be changing for us all from the new relationships we had.
We talked about both Josie and I moving to Boston in August, and he worried about mom being alone in the house. She then told him she was going to look into transferring her teaching license to Massachusetts and finding a home there.
"Ellen, are you sure you want to do that? It would mean that you've decided to go through with the divorce, that we couldn't work things out. I can't do my job from there."
"Adam, nothing is decided yet. I just feel so much closer to Josie and Ronnie these days, and Josie could live with me, as could Ronnie after his freshman year. So it would save a lot of money. If we wanted to work things out, couldn't you look for a job there, in Boston? It's a great economy there, a lot of opportunities for a person with your financial management background. I guess a lot would depend also on how you fix your relationship with your daughter. That's been the biggest problem, the way you've been treating her for years, since she started becoming a woman."
"Ellen...we should talk about this in private. You know why."
Josie and I looked at each other, both of us very confused. We expected our parents to have secrets from us regarding their personal lives. But mom seemed to want to bring something out in the open, something dad didn't want to discuss with us.
Mom said "Let's clear the table and get the dishes in the dishwasher, then we'll go into the family room and talk." Dad seemed unsure about this, but he deferred to her, as he usually did. After getting the table cleared and clean, the dishes in the washer, the kitchen in order, we went into the family room. Mom and dad were together on the couch and Josie and I were facing them on the love seat, which seemed appropriate.
Mom started. "Kids, we're going to be very open with each other. Your father will hear some things regarding the two of you as well as myself, and you'll hear some things about your father. You may seem shocked at first, but a lot will make sense when we're done, and Adam, the same goes for you, you'll hear some very surprising things. I think at the end, there will be some changes around here for the better of everyone."
Josie and I held each others hands, nervous of how much mom was going to tell dad and how he was going to react to it. Dad, meanwhile, looked resigned to having some personal issues aired out in front of his children.
Mom said "About two years ago, when Josie was 18 and Ronnie was 16, your father and my sex life suddenly seemed...reinvigorated. Things had been kind of stale for a few years. It's not unusual; most couples have this issue after being together for a while. But at that time, your father's libido kicked up significantly, and we were having sex much more often, and we were being adventurous. Playing games, you know, like role playing. I bought new, sexy lingerie. It was great, but I wondered what had changed, why your father had such a renewed lust for me. I tried to talk to him, but he said he just found a new lust for his wife."
Looking at dad, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here, even back at his hotel. Josie squeezed my hand tighter, and I did the same in return. Some of it was nerves, but also I thought both of us were getting turned on by the subject.
"So this went on for a year or so. We were happy and satisfied, so I didn't push the issue. Then one night a year ago, we were really having a fun night. I was dressed in a way too small schoolgirl outfit that barely covered my butt, my boobs were spilling out, and your dad was having sex with me from behind. He was really going hard, and I was loving it."
Picturing my dad doing mom doggy style, her lovely ass sticking up in the air, had my cock hard, and I shifted around, trying to hide it. Josie noticed though, as did mom.
"There we were going at it, and just as we both were about to climax, he screamed out Josie's name as he came inside me, grabbing me tight."
"Jeez, Ellen. Do we have to?"
"Adam, just listen, you'll understand why I'm telling this story soon enough." Mom turned back to us. "Naturally, I freaked out. It killed off my own orgasm, and I quickly turned around in a state of shock, and we had a huge fight. To make a long story short, you dad ended up admitting that when Josie finished filling out at 18, he noticed in a way that most fathers do not. That's where his increased sex drive came from. He swore he would never, ever touch Josie, but still, his secret was out.
"I was furious. You both must remember that your father and I barely talked for months." We both noticed it at the time; it was a very uncomfortable time in our house, and neither Josie nor I had any idea what was going on. "Our sex life died, and that's when your dad started putting on weight. I burned off my energy at the health club. Finally, we talked one long night when neither of you were home, and I came to understand how it was a fantasy for him and not something he would do. At least, not back then."
That got my father's attention. He had no idea what that meant, but I sure as hell did. Josie stared at me wide eyed, and I could see nervousness and desire there. I'm sure something similar was on my face. Jos and I had just played out that fantasy for her. Was our mother trying to make it a reality?
"Ellen, what are you saying? Is it what I'm thinking, and if so, why now?"
"Because, Adam, a couple of weeks ago I discovered our son and daughter are having sex with each other, and the idea got me so hot I've been joining them sometimes. Like over this weekend while we were away. So I understand your fantasy so much better than I did before. I'm sorry I put you through all that grief back then. I can see why you found her so attractive, and I know you didn't do anything to apologize for, nor anything illegal. Our kids are very attractive, and very sexy people. And they're both wonderful lovers.'
"Ellen...you've had sex with both of them? Josie AND Ronnie? Alone or together?"
"Both. I know you and Ronnie aren't gay or bi, but you and Josie both have the fantasy of being with each other. And if you want to, if you both want to, you should go for it, either with Ronnie and I here or you can take her up to the bedroom. If you both are interested." She looked at Josie and said "I heard you and Ronnie earlier. I know you have this desire as well, honey."
