(KIERAN)

I woke up on Sunday morning to the sound of rain falling. I looked around and found that Kavan and Arial had disappeared sometime since midnight. Kerry was still sleeping between his mother and me. Siobhan was on her back, hands together at her waist, legs slightly spread. Kerry was turned toward her, one leg thrown over his mother’s and his hand just touching her breast. My right leg was thrown over Kerry's left leg. I had half a hard-on nestled against Kerry's smooth little butt and a bladder demanding to be emptied.

I rolled off the bed and opened the drapes to see what the weather was like. The rain was still falling lightly but the moving clouds had patches of blue between them. I tried to be quiet as I went into the bathroom and closed the door. When I finished pissing, I grabbed a washcloth and ran it over my face and then over my dick and balls. I gave my hair a quick brush and opened the door to the bedroom. When I opened it, Kerry was just sitting up. He gave me that big winning smile of his and then rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. 

Kavan had his mother’s gene for hair color but Arial and Kerry had mine. Kerry’s was a light brown or blond depending upon how the light struck it. It was tousled now, sticking up in cowlicks all over. He turned his eyes toward me and gave me another smile. His eyes were almost the same as mine but not quite as hazel, more blue-green like Arial’s. His eyelashes were dark and long, the kind any girl or woman would kill for. Even at nine, almost ten, he had a beautiful body, narrow hips and a small cute butt, skinny waist, wide shoulders and long arms and legs. 

I held out my arms to him and he stood up on the bed and walked over to me. His penis was erect and pointing upwards as usual. When I picked him up, he held me around the neck and wrapped his long legs around me.

"Gotta pee," he said, sleepily. I carried him into the bathroom and asked if he wanted to sit or stand. He said sit so I lowered him down on the commode. He grinned up at me again, still groggy with sleep, and then pointed his dick down between his legs. I waited and waited and waited while I listened to the sound of him peeing. When he finished, he gave a sigh of relief and stood up.

I used another washcloth to wipe his face clean and then gave his soft dick a quick wipe. I gave his hair a few strokes with the hairbrush too. 

“Thanks, Dad," he said, and flashed me that beautiful smile of his again.

When we went back in the bedroom, Siobhan’s eyes were open and she was on her side looking at us. Her hair was towseled as it always is in the morning but it was still beautiful. Her breasts looked soft and relaxed and were drooping off to one side a little. 

 "Where's Kavan and Arial?" she asked.

 "I don't know," I said. "I'll go find them and wake them up." 

"OK," she said, "let me get a shower and I'll help fix breakfast or brunch. Are you two hungry?" 

“Yep," Kerry responded as usual.

I walked down to Arial's room, Kerry tagging along. When I got there, I was a little surprised to find both Arial and Kavan there together. They were still asleep, with Arial spooned up against Kavan's butt, her arm around his chest. Kavan was sporting his usual morning hard-on.

"Wanna wake them up, Squirt?" I asked.

"Sure, Dad, what'cha wanme to do?" he responded.

"Whatever," I said, "just be slow and easy. No hitting or tickling or jumping on them."

He went around to the other side of the bed and crawled in behind Arial. He spooned up to her and began calling her name softly and asking her to wake up and wake up Kavan. After a couple of minutes, I had three grinning kids looking up at me, all spooned up together.

"Thanks, Dad, that was the best night I've ever had," Arial said sleepily.

“Yeah, Dad, it was neat, I'm glad we can be like that with each other," Kavan said, just a sleepily.

"Yeah, Dad, when can we do it again?" Kerry followed up, all bright and cheerful now.

I grinned down at the three of them in bed. "Get up and shower if you want to. Your mother and I will be fixing something to eat in just a few minutes. How does pancakes with sausage sound? With orange juice and coffee if you're big enough to drink it."

I started preparing our brunch, banging things around as usual. Siobhan came in next, still nude except for a towel wrapped around her head. A few minutes later, all three kids came in, naked as jaybirds as usual on weekends when the weather was warm, and sat on the stools beside the breakfast bar.

"Sausage is almost done and pancakes are ready to pour as soon as I get orders. Anybody want anything else?" I asked.

"Yeah, Dad," Kavan said, "I'm hungry. Can I have a couple of eggs too?"

"I'll fix his eggs," Siobhan volunteered. "Anybody else want one?" 

Kerry and I both asked for one each. Arial just said, "Yuk."

"Gimme a cup of coffee," Kavan growled. "I need a shot of caffeine."

"You may have half a cup of coffee and half a cup of milk, young man," Siobhan decreed.

"May I have some too?" Kerry begged. Siobhan looked at me and I nodded yes.

Arial just said, "Yuk," again.

"We need to talk about last night," I said, when we were all through eating.

Three bright faces immediately turned toward me.

"What happened last night was very unusual, even for us," I started.

"Yeah, but it was all so beautiful."

"It was fun, wasn't it?"

 "When can we do it again?"

I looked at them in turn, trying to put a serious look on my face. "You all understand that our family is unusual in being naked around each other in the house and in the pool and at the cabin. I've asked you not to talk about it with your friends and I guess you haven't because I've never heard any comments about it." I paused for a moment.

 "We're also unusual in our openness about sex. Most parents don't talk about sex with their children the way we do. I may not discuss the specifics of what your mother and I do on any night but I've always been truthful about the sorts of things we do with each other. I've tried to help you understand that you should never be ashamed of anything you do sexually. There are only two prohibitions: don't hurt anyone else and don't do it without their consent. Does that make sense to you?"

Kerry held his hand up. "But Dad, I've never done anything with anybody else."

I looked at him with a smile. "Didn't you do something with all of us last night?"

"Oh," he said, "I thought you meant somebody outside the family."

"I started talking to you about masturbation about five years ago. I think you all understand it's a normal and healthy way to enjoy your sexuality. You boys have seen me do it a few times and we all see Kavan do it when he forgets to shut the door. I haven't seen Arial but she said last night she did it all the time. Even Squirt is learning to do it but he'll have to wait a few years before he really learns to like it.”

Kerry held his hand up again, "I like it now, Dad. I just can't shoot off like Kavan."

"I think it's natural to want privacy when we do it, but there's no reason to get upset when someone in the family sees you. If you kids want do demonstrate how you do it for the others, I think that'd be a good learning experience."

"Kavan could demonstrate about five times a day," Kerry piped up again.

"We're also an unusual family in that we let you kids get in bed with us sometimes and even sleep with us occasionally. On top of that, sometimes we're not wearing pajamas or gowns when we're in bed together. We generally don't start groping each other but nobody really cares where the others touch us. We've had wrestling matches with all five of us naked and I've almost got my dick knocked off more than once. I love to feel you all in a pile with me but I do hope I can hang on to my dick a while longer."

Kerry again. "Well, just don't give it to Mom so often." He looked at his brother and sister for their approval.

"Don't tell him that, Kerry," my wife finally jumped in. "He may give it to me hard and I give it back soft but it seems to recover quickly."

On sudden impulse, I walked over to Siobhan and wrapped my arms around her. She looked up at me and I lowered my lips to hers. Her hands dropped down to my butt and mine to hers. We opened our mouths to each other. When I pulled away, my cock was distended and just short of standing up.

"How many parents do you know who would let their children see them do something like that?" I asked.

"They should, Dad," Arial said, looking at her mother. "It makes me feel all good inside when I see you loving each other. It makes me know we’re all three part of you. I want a man someday who'll treat me like you treat Mom. We’ll have our own babies and they’ll be part of us."

"Yeah, Dad," Kavan added. "The best thing about you two is the way you love each other and let us see it. I don't just mean the sex. I mean the love. That's what I really like."

"I like the love and the sex both," Kerry said. "When can we do it again?"

"I did that to make something clear to all of you. I love your mother with all my heart and my entire mind and everything that makes me what I am. I love her for joining her body with mine so that we seem like one flesh. I love her for being the mother to you three kids. After her, you three are the most precious things in my life. I refuse to be ashamed in any way of the love I have for her. I can't separate that love from my sexual desire for her. I can't believe there's any harm in letting you kids see that love. I think it will make you better people."

Arial looked at me and then at her mother. I noticed that her eyes were glistening with tears. I looked over at her mother and saw the same response. 

"Women will often cry when they're very happy. You boys remember that and make your wives cry often," Siobhan said.

"This's the last point in today's lecture," I said. "We had a lot of fun playing with each other last night. Most parents wouldn't do what we did last night. Some do it but force their children into it when they don't want it. I don't want to hurt you in any way by letting you join with us in sexual fun. I know two of you are already sexually mature or close to it. Kerry will be in a few years. I think your mother and I need to talk with you about this. We need to decide whether this is right for you kids or not. We may decide not to do it again."

"Will you listen to what we say and take our opinions into consideration?" Arial asked.

Kavan looked at her as though he were seeing an adult. "She's right, Dad, just listen to the three of us. Kerry's not started puberty yet but he knows how special last night was. You two are the grownups and we'll agree to whatever you decide."

"Alright," Siobhan said, "your Dad and I'll talk about it. Just don't any of you talk about it with anyone else. You'll cause all of us problems if you do. Most people never try to develop the sort of relationship with their children that we're trying to build. I love all of you more than I can ever tell you. I don't want anything to cause us unhappiness."

<><><>

I was reading the Sunday paper shortly after noon when Kavan sought me out. When I saw he wanted to talk, I folded up the papers and put them to one side. He pulled up a chair, sat down on the edge of the seat, and leaned toward me. I knew he had a serious subject to discuss with me.

"May I talk to you, Dad?" he asked.

"Yes, if you'll turn off the television."

He grabbed the remote and shut it up.

"I want to talk to you about Kathryn," he said, as though I didn't know it.

"Is this private? Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Arial and Kerry were playing on the deck, occasionally wandering in and out. Siobhan was in the kitchen doing something.

"No, not that private. I don't care if anybody else hears us but I'd really rather just talk to you."

"OK, what's first on your agenda?”

"It looks like the weather is clearing. I think you said something about waiting until about four to go in the pool. Could I invite Kathryn over?"

"Have you two had a chance to talk to her mother about our nude swimming yet?" I asked.

"Yes, I figured you'd know best. I talked it over with Kathryn and she said her mother is usually pretty cool about stuff like nudity. They're used to seeing each other that way. She doesn't have anything against me and Kathryn fooling around. She usually says we should keep the door open when we're in Kathryn's bedroom. She sorta indirectly tries to find out what we're up to and drops a hint that we shouldn't go too far unless we're ‘responsible’ about it."

"She's exactly right about that," I said.

"Yeah, I know that too," he said. "So I thought I'd just be direct about it. I just took Kathryn's hand and walked up to her Mom and asked her if it was alright if Kathryn came over and swam with me because we swim in the nude."

"Is that the way you said it?" I asked.

"Yeah, I just sorta blurted it out real fast."

"And?"

"Her Mom had to think a minute, I guess to figure out what I'd said. When she did she only asked me if you and Mom would be here and swimming too. I told her that you would be. And she just smiled, looked at Kathryn, and said she thought Kathryn would love to come over and swim and it was fine with her."

"Then that's fine with us, too. You can invite her over for roughly four o'clock. She can stay for sandwiches for supper if she wants. Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

"Yeah, I told Kathryn about the cabin. I didn't tell her about us being nude there with all the other families but I sorta hinted at it. Now I want to invite her to go with us. Are we still going sometime next month, just us without the other families?"

"Yes, we're still going. And, yes, you may invite her. But only on the same condition as before. You and Kathryn are going to have to talk to her mother about it. If you tell her mother the truth and she approves, Kathryn will be welcome to go with us."

"OK, I don't think I'll be so scared this time," he said. "Now I need to talk about something a little more personal."

"About sex with Kathryn?" I asked.

"Yeah," he answered. "We really haven't done much yet. Her Mom doesn't really watch us when I'm over there with her. She just asks us to leave the door open for any room we're in except the bathroom. And she told us not to go in there together. Kathryn and I love to kiss each other. I think she's a great kisser and we've learned a lot from each other. She'll let me play with her tits anytime I want to..."

"Breasts, Kavan, not tits," I said, "Kathryn is a very well-developed young woman. She has breasts that are as beautiful as any I've ever seen - except your Mom's, of course - and they shouldn't be demeaned by a term like tits."

He looked at me for a moment, thinking. "You're right, Dad. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen - except Mom, of course - and I don't want to demean her. Anyway, we've gone a little further than that. A couple of times, we were laying on the bed and she let me get my hand in her panties. Boy, that was something. I even made her come the last time."

"I don't want to keep interrupting you, Kavan," I said, "but you can't really make a woman come. If she trusts you and feels comfortable about being intimate with you and really wants to let you in her panties, you can help her come. If she hadn't wanted your hand there, do you think you could have made her come?"

"You're right, Dad," he said. "This is why I come to talk to you. It's like you can understand and keep me on course."

He looked at me strangely for a moment and then moved over to my chair and kneeled in front of me. When he leaned forward against me, I put my arms around him and held him and kissed him on the top of his head.

"Dad, I hope you know how much I love you. I can talk to you about anything and you help me to feel right about it. I know us kids pushed you a little far last night but it was just because we love you and Mom and we want to share in your love too."

I choked for a moment and then asked, "Kavan, did I ever tell you what my father did once when we were fishing and I told him how much I loved him? He took his knuckles to my head and gave me a noogie."

He pulled back and looked at me. "A noogie, huh, Dad? Gee, I want one."

Still on his knees, he started again. "Anyway, she let me get my hand in her panties and let me get my finger in her pussy. It was this finger, Dad, wanna smell?"

He held his middle finger in front of my nose and I leaned forward before I realized.

"Gotcha, Dad," he laughed, and moved back to his chair.

When he was seated again on the edge of his chair, leaning forward toward me, he started again. "She's taken my dick out of my pants a few times. I don't have to ask her; she just does it. The last couple of times, she's jerked me off. The first time I came on her bedspread and that scared me. She just went and got a washcloth and wiped me off first and then the bedspread. The last time, she got a towel before we did it and I came on the towel. She got it on her hand that time and then sat up and looked at it. I guess she didn't know what it looks like and that means she's never done stuff before."

"It sounds to me like you're two normal healthy teenagers. Is there a problem with any of this?" I asked.

"No, no problem, Dad, it's just that I want to go down on her. You told me that if I did it first, a girl would be more likely to do it to me. You've talked about oral sex with us kids and I know you and Mom like to do it. I’ve seen you do it and I’ve tried to do it. But I don’t know exactly what to do. I just want you to tell me a little more specifically how to do it right."

"You're getting into a dangerous stage in your relationship with her, Son. Not dangerous to the two of you, but dangerous in how her mother may feel about you two getting sexually involved. Have you and Kathryn had a talk with her mother about this?"

"Sorta. I've made it clear to her we're fooling around some. She just says she won't worry as long as we're responsible. I guess what she means is that she doesn't want me to get Kathryn pregnant. I sure as hell don't want that either. And I know oral sex can't get anybody pregnant,” he said with a big grin. 

"No, it can't. And it sure as hell is a lot of fun," I said. "What's the question about this?"

"I wanna do it with her, Dad, oral sex, I mean. I don't really wanna do it at her house ‘cause her mother might come in, even if she does usually leave us alone. Would it be OK if I took her in my room downstairs and we did it?"

"I'm not home all the time when you are," I said. "Would you be OK with letting your mother in on this so she can keep Kerry out of the room? I assume you don't want Squirt watching this time. If I'm home when she comes over, I'll take care of Kerry."

"Do you think it'd be OK with Mom, Dad? If I have to ask her, I don't want her to say something like 'Sure baby, its fine with me if you want to lick Kathryn's pussy."

"She won't," I said. "She won't call you baby if you ask her. But we've still got to talk about you being responsible for what you're doing with Kathryn. Do you still have any of those rubbers I bought you to practice with? Was a dozen enough?"

"Yeah, Dad, I've got some left. I'll talk to you about that before I try to use one. But Kathryn says she's not ready for that yet. I'm sorta scared of doing it too.

"Don't be scared of it, Son. I've told you that having sex with your hand and having sex with a woman is like seeing a firefly and seeing a sunset."

"Yeah, Dad, that's why I'm scared. Now can you tell me what you do to Mom when you go down on her and she comes two or three times?"

<><><>

Kavan left for Kathryn's house about mid-afternoon. When he returned with her about an hour later, I noticed that both had lips which looked a little bruised and swollen and that Kathryn had no lipstick on.

I stood up, asked if everybody was ready for a swim, and calmly started taking my shorts off in the family room. Kathryn looked at Kavan for a second and he nodded to her. Arial and Kerry were throwing their clothes in a pile by the door. I wondered why Kavan had even asked us to put on clothes before he brought her back. I'd given in and pulled on just a pair of lounging shorts. Siobhan came in with her shirt and shorts on and told Kathryn to throw her clothes anywhere, that the rest of the family did.

Kathryn pulled her knit shirt over those magnificent breasts and dropped her shorts and panties from around her smooth hips. Her pubic hair looked like small whorls of dark silk. 

Siobhan caught me looking and coughed. I watched Siobhan as she pulled her knit shirt over those lovely breasts and dropped her shorts from around her hips, still beautiful to me even with a few stretch marks. Her pubic hair looked like a swirl of red fire against her ivory skin. I was glad I'd made my choice.

We all played for a while in the pool and then Siobhan and I got out and lay in the loungers by the pool. Kathryn seemed to become a convert to nudism rather quickly. She kept pulling up out of the pool and then diving back in. My wife gave me permission to look and I enjoyed a few minutes of ogling someone else's youthful daughter's breasts and butt. When she did a back flip off the edge of the pool, legs splayed out, I think there were three cocks twitching. Kerry was standing on the side of the pool and I watched his rise in salute. Kavan wouldn't get out of the pool for the next few minutes. I kept the newspaper on my lap for a while.

The kids dragged Siobhan and me out of our chairs and tried to push us in the pool. We ganged up on them and pushed Kavan in first. Kerry was easier. When I went after Arial, she jumped in. When I turned to Kathryn, she dropped to her knees gave me a look that said I Dare You. I didn’t dare. 

About six, I suggested that we all rinse off in the basement shower and then go up and make some sandwiches.

"All together?" Kathryn asked.

"Sure," Kerry answered, "we do it together all the time."

In the shower, I suggested that the boys should help wash the boys and the girls help with the girls. I didn't think it would be wise to tempt three cocks into erection at once. My wife wisely agreed with the suggestion.

I leaned against the wall in my usual spot while Kerry scrubbed my back, and then I scrubbed Kavan’s. Kerry was busy looking at Kathryn and didn’t ask to have his scrubbed. Arial scrubbed Kathryn’s back and then the two of them washed Siobhan’s. Arial’s back was so flawlessly smooth that she didn’t ask them to do her.

Upstairs in the kitchen, Siobhan pulled the sandwich makings out of the refrigerator. We let their kids fix their plates first and asked what they wanted to drink. When all four left for the deck, Siobhan and I fixed our plates.

"She's quite a sex pot, isn't she?" my wife asked.

"Yes, she is. She's given me a few fantasies this afternoon. Could I tell you about them tonight?"

"Only if I get to pretend I'm Kathryn," she said.

"I was hoping you'd say that. Did you see that I Dare You look she gave me? When she dropped down on her knees?  I’ll bet she has a natural ability to suck a man’s cock dry.”

After we cleaned up the mess from supper, Kavan asked if he could show Kathryn his room. I'd told his mother about my talk with him and she'd agreed to the plan. She'd warned me that I was going to have to show her what I'd told Kavan he should do with Kathryn.

I looked at Kathryn and said that it was OK with both of us if they wanted to have a little time alone. Kerry didn’t catch my emphasis on alone and asked if he could show Kathryn too because half was his room. I told him I wanted him to get dressed and go with me to get a few groceries for Mom. Ice cream was on sale and I needed him to help pick out six half gallons for the freezer. He ran for his clothes.

When we came back over an hour later, Kavan and Kathryn were still down in his room. I told Kerry to pick out a movie he wanted to see and we'd play it before he went to bed. Arial was smiling at me. I walked over behind her and leaned my head down next to hers. "Do you know where Kavan and Kathryn are?" I asked. "I know, Dad,” she answered smiling. “Mom told me. I'm so happy for Kavan, aren't you?”

A few minutes later, the still-naked young lovers rejoined us. They both looked like their faces were freshly washed, hair still damp around the edges. Siobhan smiled at them and asked Kavan if they'd had a good time. He and Kathryn both nodded. Kathryn walked over to Siobhan, leaned down, kissed her on the cheek, and whispered "Thanks." When she did the same thing to me, I asked them to sit down for a while but Kathryn said she thought it was time for her to go home and asked Kavan to walk with her. They sorted through the clothes pile for their shirts and shorts and sandals and left hand in hand.

When Kavan returned in about ten minutes, he kicked his sandals off and pulled off his shirt and shorts. He walked over to his mother and pulled her upright and then did the same to me. He put his one arm around his mother and another around me. I heard sniffling and realized that young men could also cry because they were so happy.

Siobhan said, "Are you glad Kathryn came over, Kavan?"

"Yeah, Mom," he said, "three times."

<><><>

Kathryn became a steady visitor to our house over the next couple of weeks. We had six for dinner lots of nights. She and Kavan came up with all sorts of reasons for having time alone and I almost ran out of excuses for things to do with Kerry.

In the middle of the third week, Kavan advanced the idea of inviting Kathryn to spend the weekend with us. Her mother wanted to go to visit her husband to see if they could get back together. He said her Mom had told her she had to go and couldn't stay home alone. Kathryn had asked her mother if she could stay with us and Kavan was ecstatic when he heard she had given her consent. When he brought up the idea to Siobhan and me, I knew he was eager for her to spend the weekend with us but I was unsure whether it was wise.

"Kavan," I said to him, "you've spent a lot of time alone with her lately. Would you like to tell us how far you've gone with her?"

"I've already told you, Dad. We do a lot of kissing and we make each other come with our hands and mouths. You know we've been learning about oral sex with each other. I'm sure glad you helped me with that because Kathryn loves it and I do too. I haven't used the rubbers yet because we're both sort of scared to go the rest of the way. I said I'd talk to you before I do and I promise I will."

"We've also talked to you about understanding how you feel about a girl," Siobhan said. "I've told you that you should never use a girl just for the sex. I hope there's some love between the two of you."

"That's the hardest thing for us to get sorted out," he said. "I think I love her and I tell her that. She says the same thing. But we don't know how to separate the love from the sex. I could use some help in understanding that."

"OK," I said, "we'll discuss that with you but we may not know the answer. You may just have to decide this one on your own."

"There's one more thing I've been thinking about, Mom," he said. "I wish we could play around on Saturday night like we did a few weeks ago."

I could see Siobhan about to cut him off and I held up my hand and asked her to wait until we heard him out.

"I don't want to invite her into your bedroom, Mom. That's your private place for making love with Dad. When you included us kids, I knew it was because we're a part of you and you love us so much. Besides with us, we were just all playing and having fun. We didn't get serious about it like you and Dad do."

Siobhan relaxed a little and I motioned for Kavan to continue.

"The weather's so warm, I thought it'd be nice if we could do something on the deck. Since Dad had it covered and screened, we sit out there a lot at night. I'd like to clean it off and bring those foam mats that are going to the cabin up from the basement. I'll spread them out on the floor of the deck and then put quilts and blankets all over them. I'll get all the pillows I can find and spread them around. I'll put candles in some glasses and put them around on the deck railing. On this hillside with all the trees, nobody can see us. I'll even give Dad some money to buy us some good champagne if it's OK with you two."

"That sounds like a very romantic plan, Kavan," his mother said, "for two. Counting Kathryn, I think there are six of us. Are the rest of us supposed to go somewhere else while you two are enjoying yourselves?"

"No, no, no, Mom," he said, hurt that she hadn't understood. "I want all of us to be there together. I don't know what we'll do except that I do want all of to be together. I haven't said anything to Kathryn about our Saturday night together. I didn't because you asked me not to. I don't know for sure what we'll do but I didn't know what we'd do when we got in bed with you. I guess we'll have to just wait and see."

"Kavan," I said, "let me get right down to the nitty-gritty. I know you and Kathryn are having fun with each other, including some very good oral sex from what you tell me. Would you let Kathryn suck your dick in front of us? What if your mother wanted to suck mine? What if your sister wanted to suck mine or yours or Kerry's? What if I went down on your mother or on your sister? What would she say if she saw Kerry between your mother's legs or between your sister's legs? I think Kerry's found something he likes to do at a rather early age. What would Kathryn say to all that? Before you answer, you'd better think too about how you'd feel if Kathryn wanted to suck my dick as well as Kerry's. What if I wanted to go down on Kathryn? I already know Kerry would like to."

Kavan took one deep breath and stood up taller and looked me in the eyes, smiling.

"I hope she'd say just one word, Dad, and that word is YES."

I looked at Siobhan and then at him. "Your mother and I'll talk this over tonight and let you know our decision first thing in the morning."

He beamed as though he already knew what our answer would be.

<><><>

On Saturday morning, Kavan asked his Mom to take him to the grocery store. He'd planned a menu for that night of things we could all eat while sitting on the floor on the deck around a small table. When they came home, he very carefully and artistically arranged several small platters of finger food. He dug out the nicest plastic picnic ware we had and stacked that with plastic glasses next to the refrigerator. He even asked his mother if we had any nice napkins. I looked at Siobhan while all this was going on and we both smiled.

Kavan couldn't wait and went to get Kathryn shortly after lunch. When they came back, Kathryn spoke to all of us and even hugged Siobhan. They stripped off their clothes in the family room and Kavan started to throw his in a corner. Kathryn folded hers neatly and then folded Kavan's and stacked them in a neat pile in the corner.

"Kathryn," my wife said, "we don't usually swim this early in the day because we're so fair-skinned. Why don't you and Kavan find something to do until about four? We can all play for an hour or so then."

Kavan whispered something in her ear and she shook her head to indicate her approval. I'd expected them to head downstairs so I was surprised when she asked if they could play Monopoly. Since Kerry loved the game, I assumed Kavan had suggested that instead of a couple of hours of sex. That was quite a surprise.

When Kavan showed her what he had done to the deck and told her that we were having supper there, Kathryn held him by both cheeks and gave him a quick kiss on the mouth. I wondered if he had given her any hint of what might happen when the light began to fade.

The four kids played a couple of games of Monopoly and Kerry won both. They came in the family room with Siobhan and me and threw themselves across the furniture like teenagers do. Kavan and Kathryn nonchalantly wrapped themselves up together on one end of the big couch. Kerry sprawled out on the floor and I saw him immediately start peeking toward Kathryn's exposed vulva. She caught him and just smiled and moved her legs a little further apart. 

Arial saw Kerry's act too and warned Kathryn not to lead him on or she'd have him on top of her before the night was over. Kathryn smiled at Kavan and told Kerry he'd have to wait until Kavan had his turn first. I watched in amazement at how open they were about it already.

Even before four o'clock, the four of them became restless and I told them to go on down to the pool, that Siobhan and I would be down in a few minutes.

"What do you think, Honey?" I asked. Should we try to keep a lid on things tonight or just let them do what they want to?"

"Kathryn seems to be pretty accepting of the way we look at our kid’s sexual activities," she said. "I think I should talk to her in private and give her some idea of what Kavan wants us all to do. If she feels OK with it, I think we can all relax and enjoy playing together. If not, I can tell Kavan and the others to cool it."

"I think we'd better limit it to nothing more than oral sex,” I said. “I didn't mind too much letting our kids see us have intercourse. But I don't want to include them in doing that yet and I'm not ready to perform for Kathryn.” 

<><><>

This time it was Kavan who suggested we'd all had enough swimming. I don't know whether it was because he was hungry as usual or because he'd had enough of Kerry wrapping his arms and legs around Kathryn and holding on for dear life when anyone threatened to duck him.

Before I turned the water on in the shower, I called for everybody's attention.

"I want to show you a couple of things that are extremely erotic. I want to do something down here in the shower and then something else upstairs. These two things are guaranteed to win you the heart of any woman."

Siobhan looked at me disapprovingly and I said, "Trust me; this is something all three of you will love, including Kathryn. Once you three ladies find out what it is, you'll all want us to do it. I want you all to turn on the water and rinse off. Make sure to get your hair wet."

I turned to Kavan and whispered for him to get the old wooden bench I kept in the garage and put it in the middle of the shower. I left for the upstairs area.

When I came back everybody was wet and the bench was sitting ready for them. I had a big stack of our fluffiest towels in one arm and a bottle of shampoo in the other.

"OK, you ladies sit on the bench, all in a row. Kerry, get behind your sister. Kavan, you're behind Kathryn. And I'm behind your Mom."

I poured shampoo on three heads and Kerry and Kavan grinned and started washing hair. I started with Siobhan.

"When you're doing something with your lady, always remember to be very slow and gentle. Never get in a hurry. If they don't enjoy it, you won't either."

After a few minutes, I looked at Kerry and Kavan. They were already showing two erect cocks. I knew mine was just as hard. When we finished shampooing, I turned the water back on and we took turns rinsing them off. Arial put her hand on Kerry's cock and curtseyed her thanks. Kathryn and Siobhan followed her example with Kavan and me. I told Kavan and Kerry to reseat their ladies and we'd dry their hair. When we were finished, I told the boys to wrap a towel around their lady and escort her upstairs. I don't know who was grinning wider, the ladies or the gentlemen.

Upstairs I asked the ladies to sit on the bar stools in the kitchen and I sent Kavan and Kerry to round up three hair dryers and hairbrushes. When they returned, I managed to find enough plugs so we could all work at once.

"Don't get it too hot," I said, "just use warm air and lift their hair and separate it with the other hand." I watched as three sets of eyes closed in sensual contentment.

"Now use the hair brushes," I instructed. "Again, be slow and easy. Don't try to force any knots or tangles out. Tease them apart with your fingers and use your brush like a gentle caress." Kavan looked at me, fully understanding my not-so-hidden meaning. Even Kerry seemed to get the point. His point was still sticking up.

When their hair was dry, I asked the ladies to help us finish. "Hold your hair back and gather it at the back of your head. I've got ribbons for prizes for each of you." I pulled out three long strips of red ribbon to the smiling approval of three ladies.

<><><>

We all waited on the deck while Kavan and Kerry brought out the food for our supper and spread it around on the low table. On their last trip to the kitchen, Kavan came back with the bottle of champagne I'd bought for him and Kerry had six plastic glasses. Kavan unfolded the white cloth around the bottle and showed the label to all for their approval. He opened it flawlessly and even sniffed the cork. I should have told him that it wasn’t necessary on champagne. He poured out three small glasses first and Kerry delivered them to the three ladies. Last he poured three more for the gentlemen. I was surprised when Kerry tasted it said, "Ahhh, a very good year." I suspected Kavan had given him some instructions before hand.

We spent a couple of hours eating and talking. I could tell that Kathryn was enjoying every minute of her time with Kavan and with us. As the light began to fade, I wondered what the kids would get us into tonight. All four of them decided to clean up the remains of our food, our glasses and the champagne bottle, and the soft drink cans. 

Siobhan and I grabbed the opportunity for a quick pit stop. I let her go first and she sat on the toilet looking up at me with questions in her eyes. I took my turn while she leaned against the sink counter. "What now, maestro?" she asked when I turned around.

"Whatever they're comfortable with," I said. "I told you that nobody was going to play hide the salami tonight and I'll set that as the limit."

When we came out, we walked into the kitchen where the kids were cleaning up. 

"See," Kavan said, "I told you they weren't going to bed yet even if it is about eight o'clock."

"Yes, Kavan," Siobhan said. "Your Dad had to go pee and I had to go hold it for him."

I knew what Kavan would say next and I was right.

"Gee, Mom," he said, "I like that idea. Kathryn's mom won't let us go in the bathroom together. Can we go pee together here?"

"That's up to Kathryn," I said. "Just don't let her give you an erection until after you pee. You know peeing doesn't work very well with a hard-on."

Kerry and Arial howled at the idea. Kathryn held out her hand to Kavan and they walked down the hall to the bathroom hand in hand.

<><><>

The light was almost gone when we went back out on the deck. Kavan turned off all the lights in the house and brought out the lighted candles two by two. When he was finished, I had to admit that he had created a very romantic atmosphere. 

I stretched out on the soft mats and leaned back on a couple of cushions. Siobhan walked over, pushed my legs apart, and sat down between them. She leaned back against my chest and pulled my arms around her waist. I raised my hands up to her breasts and held them.

I wasn't surprised when Kavan and Kathryn followed our example. When Kerry leaned back and spread his legs, he looked up at Arial and said, "Would you join me, m'lady?" Arial curtseyed and answered "With delight, sire."

We talked for a while and the kids got to telling dirty jokes. Siobhan and I didn't try to top them but just listened and laughed at the good ones. I noticed that Kathryn wasn't joining in the jokes and wondered what was wrong.

"Kavan, I don't think Kathryn is enjoying your jokes so maybe you kids need to change the subject," I said.

"Oh, no, Mr. Stuart," she said, "I've really enjoyed everything we've done today. It's just that I wish my Mom and Dad could love each other like you two do. They're separated because Mom got tired of Dad working so much he never had time for her. Mom's talked to me about sex and she's pretty cool about Kavan and me. But she and Dad are nowhere as relaxed about it as all of you. That's all that's bothering me."

"Kathryn,” Siobhan said, “you're sitting here naked with Kavan's hands on your breasts and I'll bet his dick is hard up against your back. I'm doing the same thing with Kieran and I know his is hard. Arial and Kerry are too and we all know his is hard. Nobody’s going to do anything to you if you don’t want them to. We’re just going to relax and play, that’s all.”

I thought I might change the subject and see what the kids would want to do tonight. "Let's play twister, kids," I suggested.

My three began clamoring to play and Kerry ran to get the oversized blanket we used. It had a pattern exactly like the one that came with our first twister we bought, except that the circles were further apart.

Kathryn looked at Kavan and said, "I've played twister before but we don't have any clothes on. Is it OK to play like that?"

Arial answered for him. "Sure, Kat, we like to play it, especially naked. It's a lot more fun that way. Come on, please; play with us."

Kerry returned with the game and we started playing. After a while it got interesting when Kathryn had both hands and feet spread around on the blanket. Looking at her spread rear was enough to get a rise out of my kids' father’s dick. When I bumped up against her beautiful butt with my hard-on, she looked around to see who it was. She just gave me a quick smile and then looked at Kavan.

We were all sweating after thirty minutes or so. I sent Arial to get us all wet washcloths and dry towels to clean up. We sat around trying to cool off while the ladies got their eyes full of three hard-ons. Kathryn looked at mine and Kerry’s as much as at Kavan’s.

Arial seemed quiet and lost in thought for a few minutes. When I asked what was up, she just looked at my cock, then Kavan's and then Kerry's. She didn't say a word about our condition. "I've made up a game I'd like to play," she said. "It's not slip the salami to Susie but it'd be lots of fun. I'm naming it Susie Says and I'm Susie."

"OK, Susie, how do we play it?" Siobhan asked.

"OK, first take all the candles and put them on the table in the middle of the deck. Then we all get down on our knees in a circle around the candles, boy, girl, boy, girl. I'll tell you the rest when we're ready to play."

We moved the candles and then got in position. Siobhan was directly across from me, with Arial on my left and Kathryn on my right. Kerry and Kavan were to the right and left of their mother.

"Now remember," Arial started, "this is just like Simon Says. If I say Susie Says, you're supposed to do what I say. If I don't say Susie Says, you're not supposed to do anything. Got it?"

We all waited with smiles on our faces.

Arial looked all around and then said, "Susie Says put your hand on the butt of the person to your right." Everybody did as she said. I thought to myself that I could learn to like this.

Arial said, "Susie Says, girls, wrap your hand around the dick to your left and squeeze it." I knew I could learn to like this.

Arial said, "Susie Says, boys, put your right hand on the right breast of the girl to your left." That one caused a little confusion but we all got it right.

Arial said, in a parody of someone's voice, "Oh, Daddy, I love your big hand on my itty bitty titty. Now I say squeeze."

All three of the girls yelled like they had been hurt. I knew I hadn't squeezed and I didn't see Kavan or Kerry do it.

"You've got to play fair, now." I said. "If you don't, us boys are going to take our toys and go home."

"OK, Dad," Arial said, "Susie Says, girls, put your hand on the toy of the boy to your right and stroke it ten times." That one pleased Kavan and he yelled "Yeah" with each stroke Kathryn gave him. Arial did a very passable job on my cock. Kerry beamed at his mother while she stroked him.

"Susie Says, boys, lean over to your right and then to your left and suck on the girls' nipples five times. Girls call out the count." It took a little while for us to complete that task. Kathryn kept pulling away from me and sticking her tongue out at me; Arial took mercy on me and let me catch up with Kavan and Kerry.

"And now I say put your hands on top of your head."  Nobody moved.

"Susie Says, girls, put your right hand on the cock of the boy to your right and hold it still. Don't move."

"'Susie Says, boys, put your right hand on the pussy of the girl to your right and wiggle your middle finger around until you feel something hot and wet around it. Don't move after that."

"Now listen carefully to this one and don't mess it up. Susie says when I call somebody's name and say go, they'll do what I say. If I say go to a guy he wiggles his finger five times. If I say go to a girl, she gives the guy's dick five squeezes. After a guy feels his dick squeezed, he wiggles his finger. After a girl feels a finger wiggling, she squeezes a dick. The round’s over when everybody’s had enough.”

Kerry asked her to repeat that one and he thought a minute and then said, "OK, I've got it."

Arial said, "Susie Says, Go, Kerry," and began laughing when Kerry gave her the wiggling finger. When he stopped, she squeezed my dick five times. When she finished, I wiggled my finger in Kathryn's pussy five times, silently thanked Arial, and started laughing. When I finished she squeezed Kavan's dick five times and they both started laughing. And then Kavan wiggled his finger in his mother's pussy and she gave in to laughter too. Last, his mother gave Kerry's dick five good squeezes and he was already laughing.

After that it was, "Go, Dad," and then "Go, Kat, and "Go, Mom, and finally  "Go, Arial." The laughter gradually subsided and turned into some heavy breathing and thrusting of hips and grinding of pelvises. I noticed that the dick squeezing was turning into continuous stroking and the finger wiggling was continuous rubbing as far as I knew. 

We started another round but didn't get all the way around again. Kavan suddenly put one hand on Kathryn’s shoulder, the other on his mother’s, and pushed his hips forward to the edge of the table. Kathryn’s hand was almost a blur stroking his dick. Suddenly, he shot several spurts of semen out into the candles and Kathryn yanked her hand away like she’d been shocked. 

Arial was a little late with her next command. “Susie says: Kavan put out the candles!” He only got two out of eight. He stayed like that for a minute or so, breathing heavily, while we all watched his dick go from full staff to half-mast. Finally he collapsed against Kathryn, flopped backwards, threw his arms out to the side, and made a face like he was dead. It took a couple of minutes for the laughter to subside.

Kerry got so tickled he started hiccupping. It didn’t stop him from saying something. “Good shooting…hic, Duke, you...hic…killed two with…hic...one shot.”

"Let's rest for a minute," I said. “I don’t care what Susie says, I’m not going to try to top that.”

Everybody toppled over against somebody else and we all lay there just looking around, smiling, trying not to start laughing or giggling again. Kerry tried to stop hiccupping but every time a hic escaped, Arial started giggling again.

I watched the faces of the ladies as they watched Kavan’s dick gradually lose its stiffness. Kathryn kept sneaking glances at my dick, still hard and resting on my stomach, and at Kerry’s, still hard and pointing up at the overhead fan. I saw her shake her head and raise her eyebrows in what was clearly an expression of amazement.

“What’s the matter, Kathryn?” Siobhan asked. “I thought you’d seen Kavan do that lots of times.”

“Yeah, but not with everybody watching,” she said. “It’s just hard to believe the way you all are about stuff like this.”

“Well, I’m going to stay hard until somebody gives me a hand,” Kerry said.

“Don’t be in such a hurry, Squirt,” Arial said. “We’re just getting warmed up. We’ll even let Kavan play some more if he can get it up again.”

I saw Kathryn looking at Kavan’s dick again. It was flopped over on his thigh, still engorged but not stiff. There was one little drip of semen on his thigh just under the head. He was still pretending to be dead but his heavy breathing betrayed him. She shook her head again, like she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“What’s the matter, Kathryn?” Kerry asked. “Haven’t you…hic…ever seen a soft dick before?”

She swatted at him and then giggled. “It’s just so big, even when it’s soft. Mr. Stuart’s is awfully big too.”

“How about…hic…mine?”

“Well, you’ve got a nice one too, Kerry,” she said. “I wouldn’t be afraid of yours.”

“Good,” he said. “Spread…hic…your legs.”

He tried to crawl on top of her but Siobhan pinched his butt and I pushed him away. He lay down again, next to his mother, and she pinched his nostrils shut. It was something she did to the kids when they had hiccups. It always seemed to work if they held their breath.

“Kathryn, don’t be afraid of Kavan,” I said. “His may be bigger than average but we’ve tried to teach him what to do when he makes love with a woman. If he’s slow and careful, he won’t hurt you.”

“I know. He keeps telling me that. It’s just I’ve never done it before and I don’t see how it can all fit inside me.”

“Kathryn, a woman’s vagina is called a birth canal when she’s giving birth,” Siobhan said. “It’ll stretch enough to let a baby out and then return to its normal size in a month or so. If she’s really aroused, a mature woman can take two dicks inside her and it won’t hurt her.”

"You mean like a sandwich?" Kavan asked.

"What kind of sandwich?" Kerry asked.

"It's not one you eat, Kerry," Kavan said. "It means one guy has his dick in her pussy. Another guy's got his dick in her asshole."

"No, Kavan," I corrected, "she means both guys can get their dicks in her pussy."

I got some unbelieving stares at this and Arial said, "I don't believe it, Dad. You're too big. I don't know how I'm gonna take one and I sure don't want to try two. Maybe if they're like Kerry's." She reached over and pulled Kerry's dick and he yelped.

"Arial, you three all came out of your mother,” I said. “When her vagina is a birth canal, it can stretch an awful lot and then return to normal size. I'll vouch for the fact that it's not stretched out."
 
"But how could they do it?" Kathryn asked. "Kavan and I haven't done it yet but I like it when he's on top of me and rubbing the bottom of his penis against my vagina. He calls it a dry fuck but it sure makes me wet. How could anybody get two in there at once?"

I stood up, grabbed Kavan's hand, and pulled him in front of Kathryn. "See if you can work miracles on poor Kavan's deflated dead dick," I said. She looked at me like she didn’t know what to do.

Arial grabbed one of the washcloths, wiped Kavan’s dick clean, and then dried it with a towel. She got on her knees, leaned over, held Kavan’s semi-tumescent dick up, and took the head in her mouth. She slid her lips up and down on the head while she moved her hand up and down on the shaft. She straightened up and looked at Kathryn.

“Just like that, Kathryn,” she said. “Haven’t you done that with Kavan yet?”

Kathryn smiled and that was answer enough. She leaned forward and wrapped her hand around the shaft of Kavan’s dick and her mouth around the glans. Within a minute or so, she'd done miracles and raised it from the dead.

I pulled Kavan's legs out straight in a vee, sat down between them, and spread my legs over his. I pulled his left leg on top of my right, my left leg over his right, and scooted closer to Kavan until we were only a couple of feet apart. I asked for pillows to go behind our back and the other four piled them up. I told Kavan to move closer and to turn to one side at the same time. He understood what I was trying to do and we were soon pressed against each other, his balls against mine. I reached down with one hand, held his hard cock against mine, and asked, "Who wants to sit on this?"

Kerry said, “Not me, boy. I’m glad I’m not a girl." 

The other four were on their knees now, clustered around us, looking at our interlocking puzzle.

"Can you get just a little closer?" Arial asked.

When we got as close as was possible, Arial reached up to her hair, pulled out the red ribbon, and tied it around the base of our two cocks. Siobhan and Kathryn smiled at each other and did the same.

"Let's all go to bed, children, and leave them here," Siobhan giggled.

Kavan and I were leaning back, supporting our selves on straight arms slightly behind our back.

"That's not fair," Kavan said, pretending to cry. "We can't get loose as long as we've got hard-ons."

The two girls and Kerry were giggling and looking at our plight. 

"Couldn't you ladies at least help us get rid of these hard-ons so we can get up?” I asked. “I’m going to get a cramp in my old legs." 

"Yeah, I've got a cramp, too," Kavan agreed. "But it's not in my legs unless you count the middle one and it's a foot."

"That's not a foot," Arial said. "You're both about five inches short of a foot."

"Well, together we've got about at least fourteen inches," I said. "And we need somebody to help us out."

"I'll do it, Dad," Arial said, "but it's only because I feel sorry for you poor babies." And with that she leaned over and took the head of my cock in her mouth and sucked it for a minute or so before moving to Kavan’s dick and giving him the same treatment. I watched Kathryn's eyes almost bug out, seeing what Arial was doing to her brother and father.

"It's OK, Kathryn,” I said. “We're just playing with each other and nobody does anything unless they want to. We don't do anything that will hurt anybody." 

"It is OK, Kathryn," Siobhan said. “We can all do what we want to except for one thing: nobody's going to play slip the salami to Susie."

That brought forth giggles and smiles from everybody except Arial. Her mouth was busy. She straightened up and said, "It's your turn next, Kathryn, and then Mom."

When Kathryn took her turn, she demonstrated very well that she knew what she was doing. She took Kavan's first and made him throw his head back, eyes closed. When she wrapped her lips round mine, I had the same reaction.

It was Siobhan's idea to remove some of the pillows so that Kavan and I were leaning back further, our shoulders and heads a foot or so off the floor. She whispered something to Arial and Kerry and they kneeled down on each side of Kavan and me. Kerry took one cock in each hand and started stroking up and down. Arial bent over and started sucking on the head of my cock and then on Kavan's.

Siobhan straddled my body and told Kathryn she could have Kavan. I don't know whether she understood until Siobhan got down on her knees, legs spread wide, and leaned back, her hands on my stomach supporting herself. I bent my head up and found it was perfectly positioned at her vulva. Siobhan turned around to Kathryn and told her that Kavan was waiting. She took one last look at us and then got into position over Kavan. I closed my eyes and stuck my tongue out until I made contact with a wet pussy.

A minute or so later, Arial and Kerry started complaining that they wanted to play too. "My jaw's cramping,” Arial said. “I can't keep sucking you guys forever. When do I get a turn?" "And my arms are getting tired. Dad,” Kerry griped. “Aren't you and Kavan every going to come? I want to play too."

Siobhan came to their rescue. "Girls, let's start swapping around. And pay attention to Kerry. He's old enough to know what he wants."

She moved over to Kavan, pulled Kathryn up, pushed her toward me - for which I'll be eternally grateful - and then positioned herself over Kavan's face. Kerry stood up and Arial kneeled in front of him, bent his dick down, and slid her lips all the way down his four inches. Kathryn rather reluctantly got on her knees straddling my face. I held her by the hips and let my tongue go where my dick wanted to be.

After what seemed like too short a time, Arial complained that she wanted somebody to lick her pussy too. She was tired of sucking everybody and nobody did anything for her.

Kavan came up with a good game this time. The girls would lie down side by side and the boys would move from one girl to another using their fingers and mouths. When a girl had an orgasm, she would move to one side and all three guys would keep doing it until the last one came. Then the girls would do the same for the boys. I was surprised when Kerry wanted the same thing. I knew he couldn't ejaculate yet; I didn't know whether he was really having orgasms.

When the girls had all had an orgasm, Kavan and Kerry stretched out beside me. The girls got into position with Kathryn in front of me, Siobhan before Kerry, and Arial before Kavan.

 Kathryn seemed a little reluctant to start. "What do I do if Mr. Stuart comes?"

Siobhan decided to instruct them. "It's really very simple, girls. If you don't want him to come in your mouth, tell him that. If you don't mind a little semen in your saliva, just keep sucking. He'll like that. Than you can spit it out on his stomach. Or you can swallow it. Or you could hold it in your mouth and then go give him a big juicy kiss. That's what I did the first time I sucked off your father."

"Mom, did you really?" Arial squealed. "I think that's cool."

"I'd like to do that with Kavan," Kathryn said. "Kavan, would you let me kiss you with a mouthful of your come?"

Kavan looked at his mother and then at me. "Did you really do that, Dad?"

"Yes, Kavan," I said, "that's exactly what I did the first time your mother gave me an orgasm with her mouth. It won't hurt you. And besides that, you should never refuse to kiss a lady just because she has some of your come in her mouth."

And shortly after that, I shot a big load into Siobhan's mouth. She tilted her head back and swallowed while the kids watched. Kathryn sucked Kavan until he came, then pushed him down and kissed him. When she rose up, they both had come and smiles on their lips. Arial brought Kerry off. At least he said he gave her a big load and asked her if she swallowed it.

We lay around resting and talking for a while and then I asked Arial and Kerry to go get more warm washcloths and towels for everybody to clean up. I sent Kavan and Kathryn to get the pitcher of lemonade he had made that morning and also plastic glasses.

When they all came back, Kerry asked if we could all sleep out on the deck. I took an informal vote and everybody seemed agreeable. Siobhan and I went to make a pit stop and to round up blankets for everybody.

When I blew out the candles, Kavan and Kathryn were entwined under a blanket and somebody's hands were moving. Arial and Kerry were totally under their blanket, doing something I knew not what, but doing a lot of giggling with it. I shrugged my shoulders, stretched out beside Siobhan, and pulled a blanket over us.

<><><>

A few weeks later, Kavan asked to talk to his mother and me. He informed us that Kathryn would be spending five days and nights with us, beginning on Saturday. He told us that Kathryn's mother wanted to visit her husband again because they wanted to discuss reconciling. She had told Kathryn she had to go with her.

When Kathryn told Kavan, he had walked her back home and they had gone to her mother hand in hand. He had told her that, if she gave her permission, Kathryn would be spending the five days with him and with his family. He told her that Siobhan and I had already given our permission, if Kathryn's mother approved. And by the way, they'd be making love while she was gone and they'd be responsible.

Siobhan and I looked at each other in astonishment.

"And I gather that Kathryn's mother gave her approval," Siobhan said.

"Yes, Mom," Kavan said, "She just hugged both of us and I think she was crying. She said she hoped she'd enjoy the five days as much as we did. And I went to the drugstore and bought us a dozen condoms."

Siobhan and I smiled at his assumption of adult responsibility and I said, "That's good, Kavan, let me know if you need any more and I'll buy them for you. I started to say that the condoms would be on me but I guess you'd rather have them on you."

<><><>

On Saturday, we all spent the afternoon playing in the pool and the early evening eating barbequed ribs with all the fixing. Afterwards, we discussed sleeping arrangements and Kavan and Kathryn again didn't want the guest room. They wanted the basement bedroom. Kerry didn't want to sleep by himself and so Arial invited him to share her bed. Siobhan and I looked at each other, astonished at how agreeable our kids could be when they wanted to. 

<><><>

(KERRY)

Kavan and Kathryn wanted to sleep in my bedroom, at least the one Kavan and I usually shared. I didn't want to sleep in the guestroom by myself. I wanted to sleep with Mom and Dad but they said no. Arial said I could sleep with her if I wanted to.

I got sleepy so I went in her room and got in the bed naked like I always do. I couldn't sleep because her bed felt different and it smelled different.

Arial came in and crawled in bed with me. She leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. When she lay down, I crawled over and kissed her on the mouth. I tried to stick my tongue in her mouth but she wouldn't let me. So I put my mouth on her breast and my finger in her pussy. I sucked her nipple until it got hard and fingered her pussy until it got juicy.  After a few minutes, she let me put my tongue in her mouth then and she sucked on it.

Arial asked me to kiss her down there so I crawled down between her legs and licked her pussy like Kavan told me. The taste and the smell made me feel all funny inside. Arial said she liked it a lot so I kept doing it. She showed me where to suck so I did. After a while she started bucking her pussy against my face. When she grabbed my head and tried to pull me in her pussy, I didn't like that.

After that, Arial put her hand on my dick and pulled the foreskin down. She spit on the head and then rubbed her hand up and down. I liked that a lot. She put her mouth on my dick and sucked it and sucked it. She kept swapping her mouth and her hand. After a while, it felt really good, like I had to pee but couldn't, but really a lot better. I liked that a lot. I asked Arial if she tasted anything when I came in her mouth but she said she didn’t.

Arial hugged up to my butt and put her arm over me. I asked her when we could do it again. She didn't say anything. I'm going to ask her again tomorrow.

Siobhan and I sat looking at each other after the kids had all gone to bed. I don't suppose either of us knew quite what to say. After a while, I went over to her and pushed her legs apart and knelt down between them. I leaned forward with my face against her breasts and shut my eyes. She held me close and leaned over and kissed the top of my head.

"Are we getting old?" I asked. "I had all these grand ideas about how I wanted us to raise our kids and now I don't know whether I've done the right things."

"No, my love," she said, "you're not getting old. And you'll only know whether we've done the right things when they make us grandparents and they have to decide how to raise their kids. Then I'll tell you you're old and you won't care because you'll have grandchildren to love. Isn't that what you said you wanted?"

We went to bed together as we had done countless times before. As before I began the familiar journey from her mouth, with long sweet kisses, down to her breasts where her erect nipples awaited my mouth, down for a pit stop in her naval, and then down, down, to her fiery mound and on into her cunt. She started squirming as I kept tonguing her and wouldn't stop. She got up on her knees on the bed and pushed me down on my back. She straddled my head, took my cock in one hand, and lowered her mouth to it. I stuck a pillow under my head and pulled her down to me until I was drowning in her cunt. After a few minutes more, my educated tongue brought her to another of hundreds upon hundreds of orgasms. I had to hold my breath until she lifted up off me.

With a strength that surprised me, she threw herself back down on the bed and pulled me on top of her. In seconds my cock was buried to the balls in her cunt. She wrapped her arms and legs around me and I knew from long experience that I wouldn't be released until I came. After a few minutes more she dropped her arms and legs back to the bed.

(KAVAN)

Kathryn was nervous when we went in my bedroom together. I told her what Dad told me to tell her, that I wouldn't hurt her. I wouldn't do anything to her unless she wanted me too. If she didn't want to do it, I'd stop.

 She looked at me and said, "Kavan, I want to do it with you but your dick is kinda big, ya'know. I'm afraid it'll hurt, especially with one of those rubbers on it."

"Kathryn, I'll be real slow with you. There are lots of things I want to do with you before we take the last step. Your pussy is going to be real wet and you may even have an orgasm or two first. That's supposed to make everything down there relax and not be all clenched up. I've got to use a rubber; we both know that, even if we don't want to."

"I know," she said, "but I want to feel you inside me. The head of your dick is so smooth and hard and soft at the same time. I want to feel it when you put your dick in me, not a piece of rubber."

"I've been practicing with the rubbers, like Dad told me to do. I've been putting them on and jerking off so I can see how they feel and so I can learn how to tell when I'm about to come with one on me."

"Sometimes I can tell when I'm about to come," she said. "Sometimes it surprises me when you're doing something to me."

"I can usually tell when I'm about to come," I said, "but by then it's usually too late to stop. I just keep banging it until it spurts."

"I wish..." she said, leaving the thought unfinished.

"Maybe if I was real slow in putting it in and then we both were real still when it was in, maybe I could tell when I feel like I'm about to come and pull it out. I could put the rubber on then and we could do it the rest of the way."

"Could you?" she asked.

(KIERAN)

I woke up early on Sunday morning, well rested after a good night's sleep. The hour or so of making love with Siobhan had again been the only sleeping pill I needed.

I tried to sneak out quietly for my Sunday morning run. I grabbed my running shorts and shirt and sneakers and tiptoed into the family room to get dressed. I opened the door to the deck quietly and then did my usual stretching exercises before going downstairs and out to the street. I started slowly as usual and built up to my most comfortable running speed. As usual my body easily slipped into automatic for running and my mind was left to think without consciously being aware of running.

I wondered how Kavan and Kathryn's night together had been. I felt a little proud and honored that they were comfortable enough with our family to choose to join together in our own home. I was glad that they were making a gift of their virginity to each other and were mature enough to discuss their intentions with Siobhan and me and ask our approval.

I had wanted so much for our first child to become a man simply as part of our loving family, not as a furtive thief stealing a girl's innocence in some strange place. Siobhan and I had tried to counsel them on the pitfalls to beware of when they first made love with each other. I had especially advised Kavan to be totally responsible for contraception, since I knew Kathryn was not taking the birth control pill. He'd used his dozen practice condoms, masturbating with them to learn to put one on properly and to sense the signs of his orgasm while wearing one. I hoped he had been successful.

When I returned home almost an hour later and walked into the kitchen, Siobhan was already up and had made coffee. I stripped off my sweat-drenched shorts and shirt, poured myself a big glass of orange juice, and sat down on a stool. When I looked closer at my wife, she had a smile on her face that I recognized as her "I've got something to tell you" smile. I said, "OK, tell me."

"We've got to install a bathroom in the basement. When the boys started sleeping down there, we assumed they'd come up here to use the bathroom at night. Now that we've got a girl sleeping down there, I think we need a bathroom."

"What brought this on?" I asked.

"Kathryn came upstairs a few minutes ago to go pee," Siobhan said.

"Where is she now? Did she say anything about how she and Kavan enjoyed the night together?"

"She's gone back downstairs to bed with Kavan. I asked her how she felt and she said she was a little sore."

"That's not unusual for a girl who was a virgin hours before, is it?" 

"I told her that the first time sometimes left a girl sore. But that it'd quickly get better if they were patient and loving with each other."

"What'd she say?"

"She said it wasn't the first time that made her sore. It was the second and third and fourth."

I almost spit out a mouthful of orange juice trying to contain my laughter.

"That's not all she told me," Siobhan said. "She said that Kavan didn't want to use a rubber the first time he entered her. He said he wanted to feel her flesh around his, with nothing separating them when they were first joined together."

"And did he convince her?"

"She said she tried to talk him out of it. She told him that she was exactly halfway between her periods. She was informed enough to know that's exactly her most fertile time."

"But did he convince her to do it like that?" I asked, my alarm clearly showing in my voice.

"Yes, he told her that he just wanted to put it in and then he wouldn't move. He wanted just to be still inside her for a while. He said he'd pull out and come on stomach if he couldn't stop. And he said he'd take his dick out and put on a rubber before he did anything else.

"Damn," I said. "You heard me talking with them about what a man and woman who used the withdrawal method were called."

"Yes," she said, "they're called parents."

I had a sudden surge of mixed emotions. Dread that my fifteen-year old son might be a father when he was sixteen and happiness that I might be a grandfather and Siobhan a grandmother.

"But did he come inside her?" I asked, in a louder voice. "Is there a possibility she's going to be pregnant already?"

"There's always a possibility, isn't there?" Siobhan smiled. “We both know Kerry is proof that there's no perfect birth control."

"Siobhan, don't do me like this, damn it! Tell me what happened!"

"He pulled out with just a fraction of a second to share. He didn't even get it up toward her stomach. He came in her pubic hair."

We heard the basement shower start and lowered our voices. I glared at my wife for almost giving me a heart attack. She mercifully stopped teasing me.

We heard the shower stop and a few minutes later the basement door opened and Kavan came in. He was still naked and was drying his hair with a towel.

"Good morning, Mom, Dad. When Kathryn comes up, would you please tell her I'm on the deck? She wanted a few minutes to herself. And Mom, could you fix us some breakfast?"

We both looked at him, standing there with his dick perhaps swollen or half erect, certainly red and irritated looking on about half of the shaft skin. He poured himself a cup of coffee, added cream and sugar, slowly stirred, said he needed a good cup of coffee because he didn't sleep much last night, walked out to the deck, sat down, and started reading the newspaper. And he was whistling all the time except when he was slurping at his coffee. Siobhan and I were both speechless.

A few minutes, Arial and Kerry walked in, chattering away as usual. Siobhan poured each a big glass of orange juice and they climbed up on a barstool.

A few minutes later Kathryn opened the door from the basement and came in. She was all rosy and glowing from the shower and the only thing she had on was a red ribbon holding back her still-wet hair. She walked over to the bar, picked up my glass of orange juice and drank it down. She poured some more and sat it in front of me and then sat down, rather gingerly I thought, on the stool next to me.

"Good morning, Grandma and Grandpa," she said.

"Not quite yet, I hope," Siobhan said.

"Nope," Kathryn said, "not yet, but we talked about it last night and we figured we didn't want to wait until we were as old as you were before we had our first one. We'd like to start one when I graduate from high school. I could take a year off from school to take care of it and then we could both start college together. If I moved in here, we thought maybe you all would help baby-sit for us. Oh, and we’d like to get married before we have one."

"Great," Arial squealed, "I'll help."

"Me, too," Kerry yelped. "That would be cool."

Kathryn looked at me and then at Siobhan. "Do you two think you could make room in your family for me?"
