"I'm home," I said to no one. Saying it out loud was an old habit I'd never break, although I knew the house was vacant. My older brother, Trent, had moved out five years ago and lived in an apartment downtown. The parentals were supposed to be at work, so it was an easy assumption that the house was empty of my other family members and the greeting was unnecessary as I had the entire place to myself.
I had decided just that morning to surprise my parents by coming home instead of going on spring break with some of the girls from my dorm. I set my duffle bag--read laundry--backpack, and purse near the door and headed into the kitchen. I wasn't hungry because I'd grabbed a burrito on the road.
I opened the fridge door and drank straight from the orange juice container. The sweet pulpy juice splashed against my lips and dribbled down my chin when a loud moan stopped me mid-sip. There was no mistaking that sound. Someone was having vigorous sex somewhere in the house. I smiled, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and went to investigate.
I assumed it was my parents making love. Although they should have been at work, it was like them to sneak home in the middle of the day for a quickie. Trent and I had gotten used to their overwhelming affection for one another growing up. I don't think we knew of any other parents that expressed their love for one another so openly.
Our 'rentals couldn't be in the same room without touching in some way. They kissed or softly caressed each other, a pat on the butt here and there. They tickled one another for no other reason than to see the smile on the other's lips and the gleam in the other's eyes. It was almost sickening to watch two people be so in love, but that was our mom and dad, and really, it was very toothache sweet.
I was a little surprised to find them home. Dad's office was downtown and mom usually spent Friday's volunteering at the homeless shelter. I headed up the front staircase to check that it was indeed them. How sad would it be to have a burglar in the house, and I didn't check because I'd just assumed it was mom and dad, being mom and dad. Then again, what burglar stops to have sex while breaking into a house?
As I rounded the corner to the master bedroom, another loud moan gave me pause. It was familiar but not my father's or my mother's voice. That voice didn't register until my hand froze on their doorknob. It couldn't be, not that. I turned the handle and my eyes confirmed what my ears had heard. The scene that played out before me was so much more than I'd ever considered possible.
I watched as sweaty muscled flesh, slapped against sweaty muscled flesh. My brother's legs were draped over my father's broad shoulders as my dad impaled him on his cock. My father's right hand gripped my brother's own huge cock, pumping it in time to his thrusts and grunts. My brother's mouth was opened in ecstasy as he screamed out his pleasure. He came in my father's hand. Ropey streams of cum spurted from the eye of his cock. I watched as if I were a deer stopped by headlights.
It was a car crash in slow motion unfolding before my eyes and even as my mind screamed the horror of it, the repulsion, my body stirred at the erotic sight. It was the equivalent of watching gay porn. Wrong, gay, incestuous porn but my body didn't know the difference and the start of undeniable arousal pulsed through me. I backed away from the scene and bumped into the closet door, which caused the scream building in my throat to escape at the sudden ache in my back.
"No, no, no..." I said, as I turned and ran away from them.
I tripped over my left foot and stumbled down the stairs. I tried to move faster but my ankle twisted under. I landed on it and tumbled down the rest of the steps. The agony in my right ankle matched the seared images in my head and I crashed to the floor as all the air in my lungs left with no promise to return. My ankle pulsed, an angry red, in time to my rapid heartbeat threatening to pound out my chest.
Tears fell freely from my eyes and I couldn't catch my breath as I tried to get away from everything I'd seen. I heard their voices as if my ears were stuffed with earplugs, they were muted. I landed on my back. I turned over and crawled away on my hands and knees from the staircase towards the door.
"Tara, what are you doing here?" Trent said breathlessly from somewhere close behind me. I didn't know where he was exactly because at some point I'd closed my eyes. I continued to creep closer to the door, my heart pounding, even as my stomach threatened to empty the burrito I'd eaten an hour ago on the road. I couldn't answer him, because if I did, I'd be having my lunch in reverse.
"Tara, are you okay?" My father's voice now, again from somewhere behind me. His breathing was just as labored as my brother's air. I reached the wall and put my back to it. I threw my hands up to ward off any touches from the men in my family. Although my mind was clear that it was wrong, so very wrong what I'd walked in on, my body still pulsed with an immediate horny need. My eyes refused to open and I sat there trying to remember how to breathe for a moment as the pain in my ankle throbbed.
I felt someone closer to me and I squeaked out, "No, don't touch me!"
"But honey..." My father said.
"I saw what...what you and him...and him and you...You! Are you gay? How could you do that to mom? That's gay, right? Or is it incest? Incest and gay? Gross! How could you do that to mom?" I screamed. The words tumbled out of my brain and through my lips without a filter.
"Her ankle," my brother said from further away.
"Yes, I see it," my father responded. "Honey, listen..."
"No, I..." I felt his hands on my calf and my eyes flew open, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
My body was confused by his touch. Electrical pulses flew through my body straight to my sex at his gentle hands on my leg. A once so familiar, so comforting touch, burned me now that it was laced with sexual urges and vivid images of where his cock had been moments ago.
My father's hands hovered above my leg and he was crouched down, naked in front of me. Trent zipped up his blue jeans near the staircase. I had a thought that my father's cum must be leaking out his anus, staining his jeans and once again my stomach churned. Dad's penis was still erect and it pressed against his stomach. He turned his head to look at Trent who was slumped, as if defeated, against the railing near the stairs. Trent's neck and chest were flushed, they were both red and sweaty from their exertions. Once more my stomach rolled.
"Go get an Ace bandage from the medicine cabinet and some ice from the fridge while I try to get her to the sofa," Dad said as he turned back to face me.
"And some sweatpants or something for dad," I said weakly. Trent paused for a second. A look of confusion crossed his face as if he were trying to figure out what to do first and then he darted back upstairs.
"Okay honey, let me help you to the sofa," Dad said, his voice was firm and calm.
I just stared at him for a moment and then I cleared my throat.
"No, I can do it myself," I whispered.
My father stood up and backed away from me holding his hands out, as if to say he was harmless. I found him anything but as his erection bobbed in front of my eyes. Images of the offending appendage danced before me as it plunged into my brother. Had that really happened? I shook my head and used the wall to support myself, putting little pressure on my sore ankle as I stood.
