Solstice - Chapter 04
After unloading the car at home, Xander gave his son a heavy leather bag.
"Take care of this while it's in your possession, it's irreplaceable."
"The book?" Alex asked.
"Not the original. That's kept in a vault. This is one of the two handwritten translations from the original Greek. If you get a wild hair, you might want to type it out into an e-document."
"Is the second one locked up too?"
"I don't know. Your mother oversees that one. Read it completely. If you have questions, she'll probably be able to answer them better than I can."
"Dad, you're really okay with me moving into the master bedroom with Mom?"
"Alex, I am. Our family doesn't look at sex and marriage like the rest of society. We're very free and open about it. Don't get me wrong, I love your mother with all my heart. As Mamas, it's both a responsibility and an honor for her to be your wife. She and I will still have our time together, but she belongs to you." His father smiled. "But she's still your mother too. So, if she tells you to clean your room - clean your room."
"That's a gimme."
"One day, when your son becomes E'papas, you'll present him with your Mamas."
"Ariana and Demi?"
"Uh huh. They'll become his wives. Your daughters will also become his wives when they turn twenty-one."
"And all this is done willingly?" Alex asked.
"No one is forced to do anything. Let's say Ariana decided she wanted to marry someone else, she would sit down with your mother, you and me, then after discussing it, she would be given the freedom to do that."
"Even someone outside the family?"
"It's her choice."
"Has it ever happened?"
"Not that I'm aware of. Your mother would probably know. Reading the book will answer most of your questions. I'm going to go start moving my things to the guest room. Give me about an hour and then start moving your stuff. By the way, your mother likes the bedroom kept neat."
"Any tips on being married to Mom?"
"When the queen is happy, there is peace in the kingdom," his father replied.
"You're a big help, Dad."
"One day you'll understand and appreciate that advice. Read your book."
"Got it."
Xander left his son's room. Alex took the book out of the bag and laid back on his bed to read. The cover was made of leather, and simply read
Papas
. The pages were old and yellowed. A few pages were torn and had been mended with transparent tape. It was obviously incredibly old. His father had been correct. This did need to be made into an e-document and have this copy preserved in a vault.
The first part of the book told the creation story, where Gaia had created her own son Uranus. They had twelve offspring. One of which was the forest goddess, Rhea. This is the goddess that our family line followed, and Zeus was her son. Gaia was the one who established the guidelines for the family, but Rhea was the first to put them on paper to be handed down generation to generation, with the intent of keeping the line pure.
Alex wondered about the DNA of the first ones, even though it wasn't mentioned in the book. They didn't know anything about DNA at the time. Since Gaia had created her own son, their DNA, except for the XY chromosomes, should be identical. Cronus and Rhea, both offspring of Gaia and Uranus, should be too. That would mean that Zeus, and his sister-wife Hera, except for their sex chromosomes, would have DNA identical to their grandmother, Gaia. Alex chuckled at the foolishness of the story. The flaw being that Gaia couldn't have possibly created a child by herself. Through incestuous procreation the line could be kept fairly pure but certainly not identical. Whoever actually fathered Uranus would have diluted the purity of the line. Alex had a friend that had done a DNA test for his ancestry and had been traced back to fifty thousand years ago in west Africa. Alex wondered how his lineage might look. 'Interesting idea,' he thought. He sat the book aside and began moving his things into his mother's room. With his mother's help he was settled in very quickly.
"Mom, has anyone in the family ever had DNA tests done to see what our lineage really is?"
"Why would we do that? We already know," she asked.
"Mom, what I've read so far is the stuff of fairy tales and mythology."
She sat on the side of the bed next to him. "Remember the last time you got sick and went to the doctor for it?"
Alex thought for a minute. "My broken arm, I think."
"That was an injury. When was the last time you went to the doctor because you were sick?"
"As a kid, I guess."
"When was the last time you can remember being sick?"
He thought about it. "I can't remember being sick."
"Can you remember any of our family ever being sick?"
"I remember Dad being sick. He gets colds and had pneumonia last year."
"Any of the rest of us? Even a cold or runny nose?"
"No, I can't remember any."
"That's because it hasn't happened. How about dental work? How many cavities have you had?"
"I don't think I've ever had a cavity."
"Alex, other than your father, none of us have. We don't get sick. We don't get cavities. Whether you believe it or not, our line is special. With time, you'll come to see that. Get your DNA test done. Actually, let's get all five of us tested. Answer your questions for yourself."
"What if the test blows the family history right out of the water?'
She chuckled. "We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?"
"I know something I'd like to see?" Alex said, with a sly grin.
"And what, pray tell, might that be?" she asked, with a smile.
"The look on your face when you have an orgasm."
"How do you propose I have this orgasm?"
"Take off your pants and let me eat you," her son replied.
His mother unfastened her shorts and pulled them, along with her panties, to the floor. After stepping out of them she climbed on the bed and sat up with her legs spread. Alex crawled up between her legs and kissed her mons, then began kissing the inside of her thighs in a teasing manner. He nibbled and licked everywhere but between the lips, getting her worked up. His first lick between the labia elicited a soft moan. As he continued, he could tell she was getting close. The bed shifted as someone sat beside them.
"Whatcha doin' guys?" Demi asked.
Alex raised up and looked at her. "I'm eating Mom's pussy."
"That's what I thought," she replied. "Don't let me interrupt you." Alex went back between his mother's legs and licked the full length between her labia, teasing her clit with his tongue. She moaned again, returning to her previous state of arousal. "How's it feel, Mom?"
