After a year, my sister Katherine was thoroughly used to my badgering her for sex. She had yet to give in. Incest was something my deeply moral minded sister could not live with. If she had told me this once, she had told me a hundred times.
'But, Kathy, we're both alone, single and living together. We should enjoy ourselves. Nobody'll know.'
'I'll know. Stop wasting your time, Pat, I'm not going to give in. I'm not about to have sex with my brother. It's incest and it will always be so. Nothing I can do about it.'
That's what our conversations had been like, every time I brought the subject up. After finding myself divorced at barely twenty-four, I had moved into an apartment with my hormones working overtime. When my kid sister, who was attending college nearby, had agreed to come live with me and to help with expenses, it had not been long before her feminine charms worked their magic and I was soon hungry for sex with her. Kat, who had now lived with me for a year, was the serious type and studied very hard, so much so that I despaired of ever convincing her to agree to have sex with me. I could have looked at many women at work but somehow, unfortunately for me, my own sister was the sole object of my lust.
One day when away at work, I had an idea. When I got home, I grabbed a beer and waited for Kathy. I cornered her as soon as she arrived.
'Not again, Pat, why don't you give it a rest. What do you want this time?'
I handed my sister a bottle and told her what I had thought of at work.
'I know you dislike incest Kathy and I respect that. I also know I lust for you very much and I came up with a good idea. Incest cannot be incest if no one comes. You knew that, right? No orgasm, no incest. Simple as that.'
'Come on Pat, where did you get that foolish idea? You know that's not how it works.'
'The office encyclopedia. During lunch today I read a story about a court that had to hear a case involving incest between a man and his daughter. I read the judges would not convict the man after both admitted there had been penetration but the man became afraid of the consequences and withdrew before the act was fully consummated.'
'That's a good one, Pat. You win the medal. I don't believe a word of what you said.'
'All right Kathy. Come by my office tomorrow and I'll show you the story.'
I was bluffing. If Kathy had said yes, I was done for. We don't even have an encyclopedia at work.
