I sat in the backroom, my mask in one hand, and my phone in the other. What had I done? I had finally lost control and gone all the way. I was so close to being married, to legitimizing my relationship with a beautiful fiancée, and I had thrown it all away for a moment of lust, and not just with anyone, but my little aunt! We were related, and yet I had ended up taking her virginity and giving her mine. After my fiancée appeared, Margot got up like nothing had happened.
“Did you need something else, Felicia?” Margot asked like she wasn’t still naked, my cum leaking between her legs.
Felicia was still at the door, facing away from the pair of us. I felt intense shame and regret. My lovely fiancée had caught me having sex not just with another woman, but a relative too. Margot didn’t seem nearly as bothered, drying herself with a towel and then throwing a robe on as if this was the most natural thing in the world.
“Um… I got outside and realized I had no way home,” Felicia explained, still looking away. “I called Ethan to come get me, but he didn’t answer his phone. That’s when I noticed his car was in the parking lot. Have you seen Ethan?”
Her words were like an icicle being shoved down my shirt. I hadn’t thought about it when I arrived, but my fiancée would recognize my car, even if she didn’t recognize me there. I didn’t even take any of my packed stuff off the truck bed, so there was no way to claim it was some other person’s truck. I froze for a moment as I watched Margot. Right now, my relationship was in her hands.
“No, I haven’t seen him yet,” Margot glanced my way and said.
“I-I see… sniff.”
When Margot glanced back, she looked shocked for the first time. I too was shocked. Felicia started weeping. I moved to comfort her, but thankfully Margot moved first. She shook her head at me and walked over to Felicia. I sat back down, immediately feeling like a fool. I felt relieved that Margot wasn’t going to sell me out, but guilty that I was relieved at getting away with my indiscretions.
“Hey, hey… why are you upset?” Margot tried to soothe Felicia, but she wasn’t a very emotional person, and her awkwardness was palpable.
“Ethan must have realized I went to a strip club…” She sobbed. “He’s probably really mad.”
Margot frowned. “Why would he be mad?”
She sniffed before letting out another sob. “It’s my fault. He wants a pure and unsoiled wife. B-by coming here, I’ve soiled myself. He probably wants nothing to do with me!”
With that, she broke into fresh tears, her head slumped on Margot’s shoulder. Margot shot me a glare, but I raised my hands, not sure how to respond.
“Hey, it’s okay. I’m the one who dragged you out here. Brother will be angry at me.”
“I could have said no…” She shook her head in denial. “I just wanted to get to know you and the family. Ethan has trouble getting close to people. I was hoping to become a bridge so he could get close to you.”
“R-really?” Margot looked a bit surprised, and maybe even touched, but then her expression turned a bit odd. “I think… brother and I are growing closer though.”
“Is that so?” Felicia wiped her nose, but even with a teary face she still looked beautiful. “That’s good… family should be close.”
Margot looked embarrassed. “It’s okay. I’m sure he’s not as upset as you think. Come to the main room and get a drink. I’m sure Ethan will get back to you soon.”
As she pulled Felicia out of the room, she glared at me. Then, they left without another look. I ended up turning my phone back on to see several calls from Felicia. She had grown increasingly panicked as she convinced herself that I was angry and doing something stupid. She was half right. I did a stupid thing, but it wasn’t done in anger.
I returned to the dressing room and cleaned myself up the best I could. I wanted to get rid of all the baby oil and smells that might give me away. I scrubbed my penis, but it smelled different now. It was like Margot’s scent had latched itself to my dick. No matter what I did, I could still smell her. Would other women notice the smell? Maybe I was just imagining it? I sprayed some deodorant down there and then put the rest of my clothing back on.
I slipped out the side door used for strippers, and then quickly snuck my way over to my car before pulling around to the front of the club. I brought out my phone and then sent my daughter a message. A few minutes later, Felicia came out with her head lowered. She looked ashamed, although I was the one who had cheated on her. I didn’t know how to make it up to her. Before she reached the car, I opened the passenger door for her whilst racking my brain for what to say. She timidly eased herself into the vehicle and looked at me tearfully.
“I-”
“I’m sorry!” She cried out.
I grimaced. “It’s not your fault.”
She took my grimace for being upset, growing even more teary-eyed. “I love you, Ethan. I have no interest in those other guys. I swear!”
“It’s alright.” I wasn’t sure how to keep her from crying, I was completely out of my element. “I’m not mad at you.”
She looked at me with a pout. “You’re not mad at me?”
“I’m not! I promise.”
“I see…” She finally started to settle down a bit, although she didn’t look completely convinced. “Your little aunt… is interesting.”
“About that, I’m sorry! You shouldn’t have had to deal with her. I should have warned you she can be a bit…”
“Provocative?” Felicia asked.
“Ah… y-yeah… she can be a bit much.”
“I talked to her at the bar a bit. She said your whole family is like that…”
“Yeah, that can all be a bit…”
“Slutty.”
“Huh?”
Felicia bit her lip. “I’m not sure I should say.”
I frowned. “Tell me.”
“I walked in on your little aunt… having sex with a man!”
“Oh, that…”
“You’re not upset?”
I made a strange face. “Why would I be upset?”
She blushed, looking forward to avoid my gaze. “I thought for a bit you might have a thing for your little aunt.”
“Wh-what?” I stammered.
She blushed. “I’m sorry! She is quite pretty, and she seemed a bit flirty.”
“She’s my aunt!” I cried out, realizing how hypocritical those words were.
“She’s not related by blood!” Felicia retorted and grew redder. “Plus, you never talk about your family, so I might have let my imagination run wild. I never realized that they’d be exhibitionists though.”
“What?”
“Your little aunt tells me how her mom and grandma act around the house. They’re more used to walking around the house naked!”
“Ah, they wear… some clothing,” I said, scratching my cheek awkwardly.
These were exactly the things I had wanted to avoid explaining to Felicia. I could never tell her how my family was. Now, the truth was out. The only thing she didn’t seem to catch onto was my feelings regarding my family’s unrestrained nature.
“When I walked in on Margot with that man, she just stood up like it was normal.” Felicia continued. “She said that she thought such things were expected since her family were often affectionate with each other. She said that it wasn’t abnormal for her mom and grandmother to fornicate with the doors open.”
The more she spoke, the more I winced internally. “S-sorry…”
“Did you grow up in such a home?” Felicia asked, turning to me, her eyes wet. “Was everyone like that- Were they all so… so…”
I winced at her words. This final condemnation was coming. Would our marriage end like this before it could even begin?
“I’m sorry they are all so-”
“Liberating…” Felicia smiled.
“Devi-huh?” I blinked.
She bit her lip. “I never really told you much about my mother, did I? She was very reckless in her youth. She used to sleep around a lot. My sister and I were born of different fathers, and both of them weren’t in our lives whatsoever. Sometime after Heidi’s birth, Mom was born again. After that, she never fooled around anymore. She became very strict. She wanted to save Heidi and me from making the same mistakes she did.”
“That sounds a lot like my story,” I admitted.
My father had also been a playboy who slept around a lot. My mother had died before I could remember. The only difference was that he had found an insatiable woman like Carol and her daughter, rather than a higher power. How would my life have been different if they had preached clean living? I didn’t hate or resent them for the lifestyle I was raised under, but perhaps I wouldn’t have ended up as such a deviant. I would have ended up as pure as Felicia. I could only look at her more lovingly.
She blushed under my gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’m just thinking about how amazing you are,” I responded without thinking.
Her blush deepened. “Just because I grew up under my mom’s strict upbringing, didn’t mean I didn’t fantasize about more. Seeing your little aunt being able to act so unrestrained, made me feel a bit sad. I try to be close to Heidi, but I feel like there is a gap between us that I can’t fill. I don’t know what it is. Perhaps, it’s because she’s met her father…”
I raised an eyebrow. “She has? I thought your fathers weren’t in your lives.”
“We never met our fathers because Mom never wanted us to meet them. However, she wrote two letters in her will, one to me and one to Heidi. When she passed away, we received the letters. Heidi read hers, and it revealed the identity of her father.”
“Who is he?” I leaned closer.
“Some criminal.” She made a face. “A piece of scum who tried to pimp her the day she visited him. He made her dress up in makeup and naughty clothing and he was going to sell her to his friends to use. She managed to escape through a bathroom window and was rescued when a certain beat-up truck pulled up.”
“Why does this sound somewhat familiar?” I frowned.
She smiled. “When her dad had her trapped, she couldn’t get a hold of me, so she called you. You’re the one who rescued her from her father.”
“What?” I would have stood up if I wasn’t in my truck. “You’re saying that time? She told me she was at a party and got drunk!”
Felicia giggled. “She said you chastised her for dressing like a slut.”
I felt my face drain of color. “I didn’t say she was a slut… Oh, God, she must hate me. After what she went through, here I was ragging on her.”
I remembered that day. It had been two years ago, shortly after Felicia’s mom died. She had only just agreed to date me when I got a strange call. It had been her sister begging me to pick her up. I didn’t want to do it, but I had agreed.
I didn’t know Heidi, but Felicia was always talking about her, so I figured she’d owe me a favor. When I picked her up off the street, she looked like a hooker. Naturally, dark parts of me desired her, and so when she told me she was out clubbing I grew angry. I knew she was too young to be drinking or dressing like that, and I laid into her. She even cried. I felt bad about it, but even worse when I feared it’d ruin my chances with Felicia.
“She was really happy,” Felicia spoke, causing me to look at her in surprise. “She doesn’t hate you at all. Are you surprised? Her father didn’t care about her at all, but you did. You became the father figure in her life. That’s actually when I decided… to take our date seriously. It was because you treated Heidi like family, that’s why I fell in love with you.”
“I-I see…”
When I had finally got Felicia to go out with me, she had acted disinterested. However, after what happened with Heidi, her behavior changed. I had no clue that the two were related.
“I just wanted you to know that I understand,” Felicia continued. “When you refused to talk about your family, I didn’t know what to think. I thought they might be bad people like Heidi’s dad, but they’re all kind. This was what you were trying to protect me from, right?”
I looked away, not able to meet her eyes, but I nodded. “Yeah.”
“You worry that you’re too close to your family, and you were afraid I’d get scared away,” she said, looking pleased. “But I want a close family, so that won’t happen!”
“Ah… I mean, it’s not…” I didn’t know how to explain things, but she was definitely getting some of it wrong.
“You don’t need to be so closed off anymore.” She snuggled with me. “I don’t hate Margot. I’m glad she was comfortable enough with me to show me that part of herself. Tonight, I’m going to announce to all of them I want them to treat me like family too! If they walk around in their underwear and act affectionately, I don’t want them to hold back on my account.”
“Haah… that…”
“Is that okay?” She looked up at me, her eyes once again filled with worry. “I never had a big family. Can’t I share yours… just for now?”
Seeing her pleading eyes, I had no words to respond. I let out a sigh and nodded. She giggled again and cuddled against me. She was pure. Even Margot’s antics couldn’t cause her to lose that innocence. I needed to protect her at all costs. As we sat there snuggling in the driveway of a strip club, probably leading the countless questions, a thought hit me.
“Ah, that’s right, what about your father?”
She hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. “My father was a nobody. I never bothered to meet him.”
When we eventually got back home, dinner was being made. I was surprised to find that Margot would be joining us for the meal. She gave me some knowing smirks whilst we ate which caused me to tighten. At one point, she dropped her fork, and I immediately excused myself from the table and went to the bathroom. When I came back, the girls were all laughing.
“What is it?” I asked hesitantly.
Carol smiled. “Oh, your fiancée and Margot were just telling us about what happened at the strip club earlier.”
My body stiffened. That could mean very different things based on who said what. I glanced at Felicia, trying to gauge if she was angry. She smiled at me. That had to be reassuring.
“Oh?” I tried to act calm and nonchalant while taking a sip of tea. “About what?”
“Just about how Margot wants us to meet her new boyfriend tomorrow,” Donna said.
I nearly spit out my tea. “She does?”
“It turns out he’s a male stripper,” Henry said with a tone of displeasure. “I don’t approve of such things.”
“Oh, Dad, don’t be such an old man,” Alex chuckled. “If the girls want to have a girl’s day and go to the strip club to ogle some guy, it’s not our place to stop them.”
“Mm… he gives good lap dances,” Margot said slyly, looking my way.
“Maybe I can get what Margot got?” Carol smirked at Alex.
“Ah! I-if you want,” Alex said, a little less enthused.
“Well, I don’t think we should do what Margot did,” Felicia spoke, red still on her cheeks. “However, I would like to meet him without the mask.”
“That can be arranged,” Margot smirked.
“No, you can’t!” I cried out, causing every eye to turn to me. “Um… I mean, you guys can’t go out to the club tomorrow because… because… we’re… going somewhere else!”
“We are?” Donna tilted her head.
“Yes,” I nodded as my brain worked. “I thought, with everyone here as one family, we should go out together… as a family. It can be a family activity.”
“That sounds like a really good idea,” Carol said. “I haven’t even really had a chance to speak with my future daughter-in-law.”
“D-daughter-in-law…” Felicia’s expression seemed rather pleased.
“What did you have in mind?” Henry asked. “Don’t forget that Alex is handicapped now. There are not very many handicap-accessible places in town.”
“Oh, don’t worry about me,” Alex chuckled. “I don’t need to participate…”
“No!” Carol grabbed him. “You’re always making sacrifices. If we can’t do something all together, then I don’t want to do it.”
With those words, all the eyes ended up turning back to me. I was hoping one of them would throw out an idea, but I had been the one who brought it up. The strip club was not an option though, and I couldn’t guess what Margot was planning. She was probably going to blackmail me into embarrassing myself further. There was no way I’d be willing to do that. I was just about to hopelessly concede when a memory from my childhood came rushing back.
“The beach!” I called out.
Everyone looked a bit surprised.
“The beach?” Felicia asked. “We’re nowhere near the ocean though.”
“There is a lake fairly close by. It’s regularly cleaned, and they have a sandy beach area that people are allowed to swim in,” I explained. “Come on, it will be warm tomorrow. Plus, the girls will be able to show off their swimsuit bodies. Won’t that help you planning the wedding?”
The girl’s eyes all brightened at that. Alex gave an inconspicuous smile.
Seeing everyone else on board, Grandpa let out a little chuckle. “Alright then, tomorrow we’ll go swimming.”
