Chapter One - Setting Out the Pieces



      John Conners was a very content man.  He was considered by all
who knew him to be the smartest, best dressed, handsomest,
wealthiest, and most important man in all of Harmony Falls.  He
himself was in full agreement with all these estimates.  He
sometimes worried that this might mean he was egotistical, but
then he recalled that egotism was a character flaw, and he knew
he had no faults.

      He certainly had a right to be proud.  After all he had been an
obscure bank employee when he arrived in the little hill country
town.  Now, the town had grown and he had as well.  He owned the
bank and was the most successful lawyer in the county.

      He had swept the prettiest girl in town, Anne Johnson, off her
feet and married her within three months of his arrival.  She
had borne him a son of whom he was very proud and three lovely
girls.

      Tommy was now sixteen.  Naturally he was at the top of his
class, captain of the football team, the forlorn hope of every
girl at Harmony High.  There was just enough of the rebel in him
to make his father smile at the high jinx of youth.

      The girls were Angela, Sharon, and Debby, three devastating
redheads.  Angela was a fourteen-year-old vision of beauty,
Sharon was twelve and her budding body was driving the boys in
her middle school to the brink of madness, while Debby was the
prettiest seven-year-old you could imagine.  All were excellent
students and obedient and loving daughters.  

      Of course, he admitted to himself, the competition had not been
all that stiff.  This was the sort of town where the TV station
called wrestling "cultural programming".  Outside of his own
home he considered the people in this community to be uneducated
clods.  A bunch of hard scrabble dirt farmers, ribbon clerks,
housewives, and bible thumpers.  

      That was really the only cloud on his horizon.  This town and
the people in it were beneath him.  His own wife, while pretty
enough, had simply been the best available.  And she had
improved by being in his presence.  Still he was worried about
his children.  How could they hope to find acceptable mates in
this backwater wasteland.

      Finally he had had to make a desperate decision.  His blood
line was going to be preserved, pure and reinforced.  The means
were at hand.  All it took was the will to do it.  And nobody
ever accused John Conners of lacking will.

      He had laid the ground work years before.  Declaring that the
schools' science departments were inadequate (which was true)
John began home schooling for his children in biology.  He
expounded his own beliefs especially in the area of genetics. 
He told his children that the union of a superior person with an
inferior one was likely to produce an inferior offspring.  He
was careful to avoid any charge of racism.  He told them that
superior individuals were produced by all races and ethnic
groups.  It wasn't any particular race he wanted them to avoid. 
It was the general run of humanity he despised.

      John then explained his belief that superior people should only
mate with their peers, and that no other restrictions should be
imposed.  After years of indoctrination the children were almost
ready.  In fact, the glances he saw Tommy giving his sisters
showed that it was time to put the plan into practice.

      One cool autumn afternoon John began.

      "Hey, Tommy, I need to talk to you in the study," John called
to his son as the boy came in from practice.

      "Sure, Dad.  Be there soon as I get a shower."

      "Fine, take your time.  There is something I need to do first,"
John said.

      Going to the study he took the phone and called across town to
his mistress Jane Sullivan.  When she answered the conversation
was short and too the point.  "Jane, this is John Conners.  Put 
Beth in a cab and send her over immediately.  Tell the driver I
will pay upon her arrival."

      Jane Sullivan was a pretty, buxom blonde who had always been
second to Anne Johnson in everything.  As long as there was two
of something to be had that hadn't been so bad.  But there had
only been one John Conners and when Jane lost him to Anne it
destroyed what was left of her self-esteem.  Jane had really
loved John and when he appeared on her doorstep during Anne's
first pregnancy she had been willing to do anything for him. 
Her virginity and her honor were lost that night, but Jane had
never been happier.  Then Tommy was born, Anne resumed her role
as John's bedmate and he left Jane without a second thought. 
She might have gotten over that, but when Anne became pregnant
with Angela John appeared again, assuming he would pick up with
her again as if nothing had happened.

      And she had let him.

      After Angela was born John had come by occasionally to give her
what he bluntly told her were mercy fucks.  And that gave Jane
her chance to defy John in the only way she wanted to.

      Jane so wanted to be with John that she had remained on good
terms with Anne.  When she learned that Anne was planning
another baby Jane decided to get pregnant as well.  Beth had
actually been born a few weeks before her half-sister Sharon.

      Now John was going to take Beth away.  Jane knew that was the
meaning of his call.  She wanted to fight for her daughter, but
John had crushed her will so long ago that she knew she would
send their daughter to him.  Jane dressed her daughter in her
finest clothes, kissed her, put her in a cab and watched as it
pulled away.  She knew that she would never see Beth again.

      While waiting for his illegitimate daughter to arrive John
began his conversation with Tommy.  "So, son, how's it hanging? 
You getting any?"

      "Aw, Dad, don't tease.  There's almost nobody around here I
would want to fuck.  They're not good enough."  

      Inwardly John was pleased, but he wanted to be sure that the
indoctrination was complete.  That "almost" had to be cleared up.

      "You said 'almost" nobody you want to fuck.  Who do you think
is good enough?"

      Without much warning Tommy had been brought to a moment of
truth.  He thought he understood what his dad was driving at in
those genetics lectures.  But now he would have to say it out
loud and see if he got smacked down.  "As far as I can tell,
Dad, the only ones around here that measure up are the girls. 
Maybe Mom, but she isn't really a Conners."

      "Good thinking, Son, up to a point.  The truth is, the girls
are mine.  But, don't worry, I don't intend to leave you in the
lurch.  You know Beth Sullivan?"

      "Yeah," said Tommy, "she's in Sharon's class.  Smart and cute
and..."

      John cut in, "And she looks more than a little like your
sisters, don't she?"

      Tommy nodded.

      John smiled at his son and said, "Easiest thing in the world to
explain.  When your mom is carrying, she doesn't like to fuck. 
Keep that in mind if you ever decide to knock her up.  So I used
her old girlfriend Jane Sullivan as a safety valve.  Beth is
your half sister and your future wife.

      "You won't having any legal trouble.  My name isn't on any
record that would connect us, and if I know Jane like I think I
do, she won't be any trouble."

      John sat closer to his son.  "Beth will be here shortly.  She
doesn't know about me and her mom, and I leave it up to you as
whether or not she ever finds out.  I want you to court her and
bed her before the semester is up.  I figure that way she will
have her first kid during the summer and so won't have to miss
school.

      "You got any objections?"

      "Well, gee Dad, suppose she doesn't go for it?  I mean, you've
been training me and the girls for this for  years.  She is an
outsider and may not think the same way."

      Now John was getting pissed.

      "Aren't you listening to me?  I told she doesn't know about me.
To her this won't be incest.  Unless you decide to tell her,
which might be fun after she has had a couple of your brats."

      Tommy had only one more objection to raise.  "Suppose you're
wrong about Ms. Sullivan.  She could raise a ruckus, there would
be blood tests, and bam, we're all in jail."

      "I'm not worried," John replied.  "But to be on the safe side,
you can take it slow for a while until I can show you she is
safe.  The silly cow is hopelessly in love with me; I'll tell
her that even if she couldn't marry me, her daughter can marry
my son.  That it is incest will just be something she will have
to handle in her own way."

      "Okay, Dad, I'd love to knock up my little half-sister," Tommy
said.  "But there is one other thing.  You just said something
about me deciding to knock up Mom?!"

      "Yeah, son.  I know every boy want to fuck his mother, so I'm
giving you your mom.  At least, I'm giving you permission.  You
have to talk her into your bed and off birth control if you want
to father your own sibling, but I won't get in your way.  After
all, I'll have my own little harem to take care of."

      Tommy decided to be a little assertive; he wanted his father to
know that he wasn't always this easy to manipulate.  "Hardly
fair, you get three virgins, I get your bastard and your
leftovers.  I should get at least one of the girls.  How about
Sharon?"

      "Forget it kid," snarled John.  "Understand me on this.  I set
this up and it'll be done my way, or you can forget about your
mom and Beth.  I keep them all"

      Then John smirked, "Besides, after I'm gone, I'm sure you can
get your sisters to join you and your mother in bed with Beth."

      About five minutes later the Beth Sullivan arrived at her
father's home for the first time.  She knew the Conners, of
course.  Like most of the girls in Harmony Falls she got wet
panties every time she thought of Tommy Conners.  Unlike the
other girls, however, she got on well with the Conners girls. 
Sharon was a good friend at school, although she had never
invited Beth to her home.  (Sharon would have, but, John forbade
it.  He wanted to bring Beth into the family in his own time,
and in his own way.)

      The size of the Conners home was a little intimidating and the
servants made her nervous.  They made it clear that as far as
they were concerned, she was just "white trash" who had somehow
been allowed to use the front door.

      John acted surprised to see her, but put on a friendly front
and asked her into the study for a short talk.  The girl was
neither hard to talk to, nor hard to look at  Beth had her
mother's long blond hair and cornflower blue eyes.  And at
twelve she had started to blossom.  She wasn't wearing a bra and
her dress tended to cling to her body.  Just as John had told
Jane all women should dress.  The little girl's tits were small
of course, but shapely and firm, with nipples which had erected
from the excitement of visiting the Conners home, and the
arousing feel of her silk dress sliding across them.

      Her hips had already widened into a beautiful saddle to cradle
a lover, or to deliver a baby.  And the legs that supported
those hips were long and shapely 

      Now as she sat in John Conners study, Beth was losing her fear.
"Momma just put me in the cab and said I was to come here, Mr.
Conners.  She didn't say why," Beth said in answer to John's
question.

      John was pleased.  Jane had followed his instructions and had
shown no trace of initiative.

      "Well, Beth, we are all very glad to have you here.  Your mom
and Mrs. Conners are old friends, and I know Sharon likes you a
lot.  I'll have a talk with your mother later and we'll see
what's what.

      "In the meantime, why don't you go out to the stables and
Sharon can show you the horses.  Maybe you'd like to go riding?"

      "Th..Th..Thank you, Mr. Conners, but I don't know how to ride."

      "No problem.  If you are with us very long I can get you an
instructor.  Run along now."

      John watched as Beth left the room.  He was rather sorry he had
promised her to Tommy.  Then again, he had never said that the
boy could have her all to himself.

      Tommy Conners watched from his upstairs as Sharon and Beth
walked to the stables.  He was more than pleased with the looks
of his new little sister.  She would be fun to seduce, to fuck
and then knock up.  He figured he take his father's advice. 
Once they were married and had a couple of kids he would tell he
who her father was.  It should be fun to watch her psyche
shatter under such a blow.  He would reduce her to nothing, like
her mother, and he suddenly thought, he would make her watch
when he fucked their daughters.

      Tommy had more than a little of his father's cruelty and
arrogance.

      But first things first.  Anne Conners was already thirty-five;
if they were to have as many kids as he wanted, he'd better get
her in bed as soon as possible.

      That night at dinner the Conners family gathering was complete
for the first time.  Beth fit in smoothly and she was a hit with
Anne especially.  She was able to converse easily with the young
girl because of the way John, who took charge like always, had
arranged the table.  Only Tommy knew that the family was now
being grouped in terms of sex partners.  Tommy sat between his
mother and Beth, while John had Angela, Sharon and Debby as
close to him as the rectangular dinner table would allow.

      Beth was thrilled to be sitting next to the high school's
greatest heart throb, Tommy Conners.  She had met him before;
once at the new mall opening and later at the church ice cream
social.  

      Both times her mother had been there and had been very upset to
see how she had gushed over the boy.  Jane had told Beth it was
not a good idea to have romantic thoughts about Tommy Conners,
but as she felt Tommy's knee brush hers, she was sure her mother
had been wrong about Tommy.  He wasn't stuck up or anything, and
he seemed to like her.  She hoped he would kiss her sometime.

      Anne Conners watched her son flirt with little Beth Sullivan. 
She was glad that they were getting along so well.  She knew
that her old friend Jane had not had the best life and she
wanted Beth to avoid the disasters that had befallen her mother.
There was a little pang to know that her son was growing up and
had become a magnet for girls.  Soon, she knew, she would cease
to be the most important female in his life.

      And she was only a little jealous to see how Tommy ogled the
little pre-teen's body.
