NOTE - A couple of pointers from comments left on the last chapter.
1: I didn't realise that Las Vegas was landlocked, I didn't do my homework and for that I am sorry, I'm not changing the story but I will accept my mistake.
2: I also never realised that the name of Adam's mum for chapters 1 and 3 was different for chapter 2, again this is my fault. For future reference, her name is Claire.
3: I know that chapter 3 didn't have any incest in it, I said that at the start, but this is still an incest story and the relationship between the cousins is the main driving force for the plot.
4: This is not a copy of someone else's story, I may borrow certain aspects from other stories but all my work is my own and I never copy
That being said, thank you for all the positive feedback, some comments even pointed out aspects of the characters I didn't even think about. As I said at the start of Ch. 3 I wanted to make that one longer but I didn't have time, the ending to this chapter was original for the last one so think of this as the second half. After this, Ch. 5 will be the last in this series.
Story first, sex second.

"Dad?"
The colour literally drained from Ray's face, he looked into Lexi's eyes and that's when it hit him, Alex covered her mouth in shock. The words her mother said yelled in her ears.
"Who is my father?"
"An old work friend, Ray Henderson, he was promoted years ago and now works in Berlin, he doesn't know about you."
"Look at her eyes, mine are brown, so are yours, hers are green. She takes after her father."
And she did, looking into Ray's eyes she saw the same dark green eyes that she had. There was no denying it.
This man was her father.
Adam needed to keep things calm so he took Ray and Alex into an empty room and sat them down.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked both of them, looking for one of them to give them an answer.
Alexandra was in tears at the shock of it all, she couldn't say anything. Ray answered Adam in a soft voice.
"I think, I think your cousin is my daughter."
"What? That's impossible."
"I don't think so, I do come from Britain Adam."
"And, that's no proof."
"What about the name, Jane Buchannan? I had a one night stand with a woman called Jane Buchannan from my work, years ago."
"And she had one with a man from her work called Ray Henderson."
Lexi's voice was so quiet and timid it almost went unnoticed by the two men. She was still crying but she forced herself to look up at Ray.
"But I know he's my father because of his eyes. I have my father's eyes Adam you remember, you were there."
Adam did remember, Jane's words were in his ears as well. He looked at the two of them, he could see it, Lexi's dark green eyes, magnified by her tears, were a near perfect match for Ray's kind green ones.
Ray took a deep breath, he took Alexandra's hands in his and look into her eyes, into her soul.
"Your mother's name was Jane Buchannan, yes?"
She nodded.
"She had a sister called Claire."
She nodded again. "Adam's mum."
"I should've recognized the name, fuck. Jane was married to a man called Craig right?"
Alexandra nodded a third time.
"And Craig use to beat her."
She nodded one final time. Ray let go of Lexi's hands and sat back in his chair.
"Fuck. Anyone mind if I smoke?"
Lighting up a cigarette, Ray told his story, Alexandra listened with held breath and soaked eyes while Adam stood in the corner, listening almost as intensely as her.
"I knew your mother from work, I knew about Craig and what he was doing to her but I stayed quiet, not wanting to get involved because I liked your mother and I didn't want to offend her. Anyway one night we were working late, just the two of us and by the time we'd finished up it was after one in the morning. Jane didn't want to go home because she knew it would be locked since Craig was out drinking and would be drunk when he got home. I offered her back to my house for the day, we sat, talked, drunk some wine and before we knew it we were tearing our clothes off. It was a one-time thing and we never spoke of it, the only other person that knew about it was my sister, she was a friend of Jane's so we had to ask her to take her back home, have Jane says she spent the night at hers so Craig wouldn't kill her. I assume he bought it because she came in the next day with only a small black eye. A couple weeks later I was transferred to Berlin before your mother could tell me she was pregnant and I never saw her again."
Alex said nothing, she was still crying, mostly from the shock. It was Adam that spoke.
"Are you sure that you two are related I mean you don't know for certain."
"No, I'm sure. The timing is spot on for me working with Jane, there's too many variables to be a coincidence, we have the exact same eyes. And call it fatherly intuition or whatever but I just know that this is my daughter."
As soon as the words had left Ray's mouth Alex got up and ran away, Adam went to go after her but let her leave, considering it was for the best. He returned to his wife, catching Alex crying into his mother's shoulder. The look on his face was evident to everyone.
"Hey what's wrong?" Kanani asked.
Adam sat down next to his wife, grabbing a half empty bottle of beer, not his but he didn't care. "We had a family reunion of sorts. Turns out Ray and my cousin Alex. Father and daughter."
Kanani's jaw dropped. "No way, oh God I thought she didn't know her father."
"She didn't, but when she and Ray got to talking she figured it out. It's not definite but they're both convinced they're related."
"My god. How are they taking it?"
"Ray's pretty numb about the whole thing, I don't think he ever expected a kid in his life and Alex, well Alex is pretty upset about it all, she's never had a father figure in her life before."
"I hope they're Ok."
"Me too."
