    "No!"

    "Ahhh... Come on. You've let me do almost everything else. I have
the condoms, so it's not like you'd have to worry about getting
pregnant, even if you weren't on the pill."

    "Pervert."

    "Huh? Just because I want to get laid instead of jacked off, I'm a
pervert?"

    "Kim told me about what you did with her last year."

    "Oh? Really? Did she tell you that was *her* idea, not mine, and
she had to talk me into it?"

    "Doesn't matter who's idea it was, you still did it. If you can't
make no mean no, how can I trust you to accept it when I tell you no,
or to stop?"

    I sighed. "So you're telling me that the only way you can trust me
to accept no, after all the months we've been seeing each other and
been doing everything except fucking, is tell me no after we already
agreed that we were going to fuck this evening, and you helped plan
things so we wouldn't be caught?"

    "Yes."

    "Ok. I'll take you home."

    "Hey! Wait! I changed my mind about the fucking, not... Everything
else."

    "Forget it, Bev. Works both ways. You gave your word, then went
back on it. Guess I can't trust you, can I?"

    "But..."

    "Forget it. Maybe Kim isn't doing anything."

    I dropped her off, then went home and called to see if Kim was
doing anything.

    She already had plans she couldn't break, so that left me with a
bad case of swollen balls, four boxes of condoms, and nobody to use
any of them with.

    Mom and dad had left before I did, to go do whatever it is that
they do when they decide to have a night on the town, so that left me
alone, with our bitch Dana as company, if she ever decided to come
back inside for the night. She'd greeted me when I came in the door,
then gone back outside as soon as she figured out I wasn't headed for
the kitchen.

    Guess she had her own plans, too.

    Sis was gone, and I wondered if she'd told mom and dad she was
actually lez, and her supposed date was a gay she dated so they could
double date and be with their real lovers.

    If she hadn't told them yet, I bet myself there was going to be a
real explosion when they found out, because I'd heard mom and dad
talking about all the perverted filth that was available these days,
and they hoped that they'd instilled the right values in us so we
wouldn't think about doing that stuff.

    It was definitely weird, because they knew I fucked several of my
girlfriends, and dad always asked me if I needed any condoms, or money
to buy them, so they had to know I was horny all the time.

    But it was like they had this blind spot when it came to sex.
Dicks went in cunts, and that was it.

    Anal sex?

    Forget it!

    As soon as we were 'old enough' to get the lecture, we did, and I
don't know how sis and I managed to get through it without laughing,
they were so seriously old fashioned about what was proper.

    We didn't play with each other or do any of that stuff, but we'd
already compared notes and knew that we both like anal sex a lot. Sis
had gotten used to it when she was still het, then bi, because
bareback was the only way a penis should be, as far as she was
concerned, unless there was a damn good reason to make sure there
wasn't a mess when it was over.

    I hadn't really thought about it that way until she'd told me
about dripping, then, as much as I liked it bareback, it suddenly made
sense to convert to using condoms unless the girl would be able to
clean up before she put her clothes back on.

    I sighed at the injustice of it all. I'd eaten Kim out after I
fucked her, a few times, and it was ok, but there was no way I was
going to do that to her asshole, no matter how much she liked it when
a guy did it.

    There were limits to how kinky I was.

    And that got me back to Bev, and her surprise.

    Fuck it. Nobody was home, so I'd get a towel, stretch out on the
couch and jerk off after I made sure the curtains were closed and the
doors locked and chained.

    That was another weird thing. Dad and mom were ok with us chaining
the doors and fucking at home, if they were going to be out for the
evening.

    Liberated but straight. Parents are strange all of the time, but
mine seemed to be stranger than most.

    Before I settled, I thought about my other girlfriends, but most
of them were in the past, and had steady boyfriends, now. I also knew
that since they hadn't called to see what I was doing, they'd either
checked with Bev and found out our plans, or had solid plans of their
own.

    Forget them.

    So I checked everything, grabbed one of the beach towels, covered
the couch with it, then stripped and got comfortable.

    I was idly playing with myself, and still thinking about if I
wanted to fantasize or remember, when something cold hit my balls.

    "Jesus Christ!"

    At first I thought Sis had snuck in and hit me with an ice cube.

    When my heart stopped hammering and I could think again, I
realized that was impossible.

    So. What had hit me?

    I looked down and felt around. Damp, but no ice.

    Weird.

    When I looked around, Dana was nearby and watching me, with her
head tilted. Nobody in the room, and no insane giggles.

    I looked at Dana again. "Nobody here, right? You would have let me
know, even if Sis had been around somewhere, and besides, she can't
stop those insane giggles when she's managed to get me a good one."

    Her head tilted some more, then she came over for some attention,
since I was talking to her.

    I chuckled and started scratching her forehead, and she groaned
and closed her eyes, like usual.

    "What the Hell, girl. I haven't given you a good petting for
awhile. I can jerk off later."

    Her tail wagged, then I found out what the cold object had been.

    She opened her eyes, turned her head slightly...

    And stuck her nose in my crotch!

    "Hey!"

    My first reaction was to push her away, but when I tried, she
resisted me and growled.

    Since she was so close to my dick, I sort of instinctively knew
that getting her upset wouldn't be a good idea.

    Besides, as surprised as I was, I had an erection, and her tongue
was...

    I couldn't stop from glancing around guiltily. Her tongue felt
better than any girl's tongue ever had, and the slurping noises she
was making were so enthused and wet sounding, they were turning me on
even more.

    Eventually she stopped and looked at me in a way that I knew she
was wondering if I approved of what she'd done.

    "Hell, yeah, Dana. That felt pretty good."

    I reached and offered her my dick, but she just looked at it and
turned away.

    That made me laugh. "Tease, huh? Done what you wanted, so
that's..."

    Now, come on, let's be realistic here. Dana was intact, because my
parents believed that it was our responsibility to deal with her as a
complete bitch, and not have her 'fixed', just because we were lazy.

    So, that meant I knew all about bitches in heat and how they'd
'flag' and beg anything with a penis to fuck them. Dana was controlled
most of the time, but still, when it was just family, it wasn't
unusual for her to flag any of us when she was in heat.

    Anyway, she stopped turning and flagged me, then waited to see
what I'd do.

    God... She was swollen and wet and... I realized I could smell
her, too, a sure sign she was at her most receptive.

    Yeah. I knew what she wanted. And it was pretty obvious from the
way she'd licked me, that what she wanted was my dick in her cunt.

    Cunt.

    Dana had a cunt.

    Dana wanted that cunt fucked.

    I was pretty sure she wanted to get fucked with my dick, even
though she'd never treated me this way before.

    My brain kicked in. "That's sick. Animal fucking is something
people aren't supposed to do."

    My hormones started a counter argument. "Yeah? People do lots of
things they aren't supposed to. Hasn't stopped you from fucking
without being married, first. What about your sister being lez? It's
not like 'normal' runs in the family."

    Brain to hormones: "Yeah? What if I get caught?"

    Hormones to brain: "That's what condoms are for, stupid."

    Brain: "Sounds good, but what if she wants it again, when I don't
have any with me?"

    Hormones: "Fake it with your fingers or eat her out. Besides, when
have you ever been without a couple condoms handy? You've grabbed your
condoms and gone to school without your wallet--lots of times!"

    Brain: "She smells yucky, and what about her piss?"

    Hormones: "This from the guy who eats his girlfriends out with his
nose practically stuffed in their asshole?"

    Brain: "And if she noses my crotch and flags me, in front of
people?"

    Hormones: "She does that to everyone already, when she's in heat.
If you don't act on it immediately, what's the big deal?"

    Brain: "I know when I've lost. Get a condom. I'm outta here!"

    I came out of my trance and reached for a condom, then installed
it on my aching erection.

    "Ok, Dana. I hope you really want this, because I do too, now. I
gotta know what it's like."

    I got behind her, held myself, then jabbed in the direction of her
cunt.

    I hit bone and grunted from the pain before I managed to stop my
humping motions.

    I backed off a little and looked down. "That doesn't make sense.
You have a cunt, and I know it works, because I've seen dogs fuck
you."

    She started to move and I held on a little tighter. "Hold still. I
need to find out what went wrong."

    She quit moving and I freed a hand so I could extend a finger and
probe gently.

    When my finger hit bone, just like my dick had, I frowned. "Huh?
Bitch cunts don't magically close up and disappear, do they? Is there
a magic panting or something that gets you to open up?"

    I moved my finger again, and when I moved it towards her tail, I
hit an opening, and she lurched backwards at the same time, burying my
finger as deep as it could go.

    "Oh. Crazy. Now I get it. No wonder dogs come up from below. They
have to drag your lips up until they line up with your cunt. Let me
try this again..."

    I held myself again, lined up and got my tip started, then pushed
gently and lifted my dick until I could feel the opening I'd found.

    After that if was easy, but it wasn't like a normal fuck.

    She was wet and slippery, that much was the same.

    She was tighter though, which I sorta figured was because she
didn't get fucked very often. Maybe I could feel her up and find out
how much like a girl she was.

    Do that later, though.

    I fucked her for awhile, orgasmed deep inside her without really
realizing how hard I'd jerked her backwards, then caught my breath and
let go to see what she'd do.

    She nosed herself, nosed me briefly and licked a couple times,
then woofed and took off to go outside, where I could hear her barking
excitedly.

    "Oh, great. Just what I need, Dana telling the world she's freshly
fucked."

    Hormones to brain: "You there? Start thinking of some believable
excuses to explain that barking!"

    Brain: "Duhhh..."

    Hormones: "Right. You can't pack it in, now. We got serious
problems, because if it was that good, she's gonna want to keep doing
it. Maybe even when she's not in heat. *I* want to keep doing it, if
she'll let me!"

    Brain: "I saw that coming, since you'll fuck any girl who spreads
for you. Why should that change with a bitch? You gonna still fuck
girls, too? Might be a good way to hide..."

    Hormones: "Shaddup! Worry about that later. Let's clean up and put
the towel on my bed, since we'd have to do that anyway, now that she's
in heat and we've noticed."

    Brain. "Since you're moving to the bedroom, unchain the doors so
people can get in when they get home. Don't forget to lock your door.
Be a good idea to secure the dog door to your room so Dana has to stay
inside right after you finish. Maybe that will reduce the barking."

    Hormones: "Keep looking for good excuses."

    By then Dana had come bouncing into the living room, and was
enthusiastically licking my dick and anywhere else she found something
interesting.

    Obviously, she couldn't be upset about what had happened.

    I was, though, because I'd had time to realize this was something
I'd have to be cautious about who I told.

    Sis?

    Maybe. How would I bring it up so she wouldn't realize I was
asking for my own reasons. Not possible. We knew each other too well.
If I told her, or she confronted me, I'd have to be honest about it.

    The phone rang and I answered it.

    "Hello?"

    "Oh! Hi, Rick. May I come over? I want to apologise..."

    "No!"

    "Huh?"

    "Uhhh... Hang on. Sorry, Dana. You weren't really in trouble yet.
You can keep doing what you were doing. Uhh... Dana looked like she
was going to do something she shouldn't." Weak, but it was all I could
come up with, and I supposed I really should have been telling Dana
she shouldn't be acting like she wanted to lick me off while I was on
the phone.

    Wait... Had I just told Dana it was ok to give me a blow job while
I was trying to talk to Bev?

    Oh, gods!

    "Sorry, Bev."

    She giggled. "It's ok. You've done it before. So. Can I come
over?"

    Oh, shit!

    "I'm pretty tired, now. Been playing with Dana, and she wants to
keep going, but I need a nap."

    "Umm. You have been neglecting her, haven't you? She must have
gotten pushy again, huh?"

    "Yeah. She was. Is. Still after me because she isn't really done."

    "Ok. Uhhh... Well, anyway, I'm sorry for making you think you were
going to fuck me, then saying no. You still horny?"

    Great. Magic words to get me in more trouble. Fortunately, this
time I had a normal excuse.

    "I was, but since everyone is gone, I settled on the couch and
took care of that before I started playing with Dana."

    "You played with her after whacking it? No wonder you're tired!"

    "Yeah. She was so pushy I couldn't tell her no for very long."

    She giggled. "Good thing it's only Dana. If you'd done it in front
of another girl, I'd be jealous. Were you thinking of me?"

    "Umm... I thought about it, but it didn't seem right after what
happened, so I just sort of let myself wander."

    "Kay. What about tomorrow, sometime?"

    "Tomorrow?"

    "Can I come over, tomorrow?! You really are out of it, aren't
you?"

    "Uhh... Call me in the afternoon? I'm not usually like this. Maybe
I'm coming down with something. If I am, you don't need to be getting
it, too."

    "I'll hope it's a false alarm, ok? Call you then. Bye."

    I stared at the phone, then looked a Dana, who was *still* licking
me, even though she'd been doing it during my conversation.

    Heck with it. I rubbed between her ears, gently, so I wouldn't
make her think I was trying to stop her. "You're a good girl, Dana.
Let me clean this place up a little, then we'll go to bed and you can
do it all night, if you want to."

    I realized I still had the condom on, so I removed it and let her
check it out.

    She explored it with her tongue while I held it so she could get
everything, then she went back to my dick, and vigorously cleaned
*that*.

    Now that the edge was off, and I'd survived the first crisis, I
admitted what she was doing felt pretty good, maybe even better than
when a girl did it, because Dana's tongue was longer and she had a
nose instead of a face, which let her get to all the little places a
girl had trouble reaching.

    I did my best to ignore the weak voice in the back of my head that
was trying to tell me I was looking for more excuses to fuck Dana and
do other sexual stuff with her, and which was kinkier, anyway? Licking
a girl's asshole? Or fucking Dana?

    Fucking Dana was a done deal, and I knew I was going to keep doing
it, so there was no point in having second thoughts about it.

    My brain was just going to have to buckle down and support my
hormones, this time.

    I picked up, tossed my stuff in my room and put the towel on my
bed, then, just to be safe, put my robe on and went back to undo the
chains. I didn't think anyone would be coming home yet, but there was
no point in pushing my luck much further, and why hadn't I anticipated
that Bev would call me?

    Not only that, it hadn't happened too often recently, but I wasn't
the only one who ever came home early with a severe case of horny
frustration, on a Friday night.

    At least my sister could spend a 'chaperoned' night with her
girlfiend, and how was she handling the inevitable 'when are you
gettnig married' questions from mom and dad?

    How long could I get away with not going out with girls, for that
matter? And they'd notice if I wasn't fucking them as often and they
couldn't find out who it was that was suddenly taking up all my time.

    Could I use an excuse that involved Dana? I could say I was
training her some more, and if I did, they'd want to come along, so
that wouldn't work for very long, either...

    I was tapering off and slowing down to let myself figure out if I
wanted to get serious?

    Maybe. They'd want to help me discuss who, and options, though. I
couldn't see that working for any longer than a training excuse would.

    I sighed. This was getting complicated, when all I really wanted
to do was get laid again, until Dana got tired of the sex and went
back to being a normal bitch.

    If I was lucky, I'd have about a week before I had to worry about
what she wanted from me, and what on Earth would I do if she wanted it
all the time, anyway? Would she ask in front of a girl, if I had her
with us, and we started making out? How would they feel about Dana
wanting to join in? Or would Dana get jealous and stop us?...

    Forget it.

    "Come on, Dana. Let's surprise everyone and go to bed early."

    She ran to my room, landed on the bed, and was sprawled before I
got there. At least that hadn't changed.

    I closed, locked, then chained my door and made sure the dog door
was closed, too, while hoping she wouldn't decide to go crazy after I
fucked her again.

    At least I cared for her a lot, maybe more than I did some of the
girls I'd fucked. She was a family pet, but she spent more time with
me than anyone else, so I guessed she liked me more than she did them,
or at least I paid her more attention than they did, so it was kind of
like being around a girl for a long time. We'd been friends, and she
let me know she wanted the sex, too...

    See how easy it is to rationalize fucking a bitch when the sex is
good, and she's right there, on your bed and waiting for you to fuck
her again?

    So I sat down on the edge, and she came over and stuck her nose in
my crotch again, like she couldn't get enough of my dick, or
something.

    I let her lick some more, and I petted her, and thought about what
to do next. We'd done it like dogs, but I knew I couldn't do that all
the time. Would she lie on the bed and let me fuck her?

    Should I just fuck her, or should I do some foreplay, too?

    The Hell with it.

    I made her move her nose, then I stretched out on my bed like
usual. She went back to working my dick, and I managed to shift her
until I could reach her cunt and get a close look at it after I raised
her tail a little.

    Yeah. It was a cunt. It was red and swollen and wet and dripping
and it smelled, now that I took the time to try and figure out what
she smelled like, not a bit like a girl's cunt when she was wet.

    So I did the natural thing and stuck a finger in her and got it
real wet, then I took it out and smelled it.

    Tangy. What was the word people liked to use? Oh, yeah. Pungent,
in a good way.

    I tasted my finger and frowned.

    Odd.

    For as strong as the smell was, the taste was pretty bland and
watery.

    Maybe it was like sweet and sour sauce. You know, you'd think it
would taste pretty raunchy, but when they were together, they tasted
pretty good...

    Taste, huh?

    I'd fucked it, now I wanted to suck on it?

    Dogs got off doing it. It even made them hornier.

    What happened to the guy who wouldn't lick an asshole? Now he
wants to spend time eating out a bitch that's in heat? Isn't that like
doing it to a girl on the rag?

    Yeah. Well, it's nomal for Dana, right? I bet she expects it as
foreplay. You've never seen her accept a dog who just runs up and
tries to mount her, right?

    "Come on, Dana. Let's roll you on your back so I can give you a
good belly rub and... Other stuff."

    She let me position her, and when she was on her back with her
tail flopped, I realized her legs were spread flat and fucking her
missionary style would be pretty easy, once her cunt was at a better
angle.

    Angle. Pillow under her ass?

    Worth a try. She usually didn't fight me when I moved her into odd
positions so I could give her attention.

    Later. My hands were already busy, one rubbing her stomach, and
the other was using its fingers to rub around her... Vulva? Yeah. I
think that's what it was. I knew the vagina was inside, and she didn't
have obvious labia, so that left 'vulva', which sounded better than
calling it her sex.

    See? I cared. I didn't want to make what we were doing together
sound ugly and impersonal.

    So I kept rubbing her off for awhile, then I stuck a finger in and
she started humping it.

    Damn! She was already pretty hot, with the way her smell seemed to
shout 'Let's Fuck!' and she was so easy to penetrate and she didn't
complain.

    But that humping my finger...

    So what if it was a built in reaction? I figured she could have
protested and jerked away or something, but she hadn't, so she must
like the attention and the way it was making her feel.

    No brainer.

    So I lost it, and just got down and started licking her carefully,
and she was still bland tasting even though her odor was all I could
smell, and if there was any piss smell or taste mixed in, I couldn't
find it.

    She was just like the girls I'd eaten out.

    The more I ate her, the wetter she got, and just like a girl, she
was so wet she didn't need to get wetter.

    She humped my face, too, so I knew I'd better be careful about
working her clit.

    Or would she be able to last longer? She let dogs lick her a lot
longer than I'd ever licked a girl. Was she getting herself off when
she cleaned herself?

    I bet a lot of girls would like to be able to do that.

    Hey... Would she lick a woman like she'd licked me? Were bitches
capable of being bi or lez? What would my sister think about that? I
didn't think she'd tried it, but maybe I could come at it real
sideways by asking her if she'd ever thought about having a dog do
oral sex on her...

    Whatever. Something else for later.

    Maybe, if I wanted to fuck her again, I'd better quit before she
orgasmed and got too sensitive.

    Yeah.

    Where's my pillow?

    Dana was limp when I lifted her up so I could put the pillow under
her.

    I looked her over and sighed, because it wasn't going to work
unless I came almost straight down from the top.

    She just wasn't enough like a girl that that sort of stuff would
work right.

    So I squatted behind her, then moved the pillow further along her
spine, and after she unrolled and her cunt was near my dick, I
realized I had what I wanted, and she wasn't complaining.

    I scooted a little closer, lined us up, then pulled her into my
crotch...

    I felt some resistance that slowed me down briefly, then it
relaxed and I was all the way in.

    I couldn't take full strokes but that was ok. I didn't want to
come out of her anyway.

    I fucked her slow and when I orgasmed, I held on and hoped she'd
stay put and let me enjoy the afterglow...

    And I realized I hadn't used a condom, and when I pulled out, my
semen was probably going to ooze out, and how long did that last,
anyway? Would I have to figure out a way to douche her after sex or
could I count on her cleaning herself whenever it started oozing after
I forgot to use a condom?

    I hoped so!

    So I petted her and she stayed on her back and her tail started
wagging a lot and once in awhile I'd do something and she'd curl it up
until it brushed my balls and that was like nothing a girl had ever
done to me, except maybe stroking real lightly with her fingernails
but this was with fur and now I knew why some girls love the feel of
fur against their skin, and I knew I was hooked and wouldn't it be
good revenge to tell Bev that by backing out, she sent me home to Dana
and Dana was one hell of a fuck and...

    Shit.

    Yeah, right. Stop with the stupid dreams. Gay and lez was mostly
ok, but animals? Uh huh. No way was I going to survive for long if
word got out.

    Sis and I could keep each other's secrets, but we both hadn't
found anyone else we felt we could trust with the really, really deep
ones.

    I looked at Dana, and I knew I was probably grinning. "You like
getting fucked, don't you? Thanks to Bev, we have all night, and I
don't need to worry until breakfast, or when you want out."

    She didn't move. I think she was going to sleep, the way her eyes
were closed and she ignored me after her tail stopped moving.

    I was tired, and I wanted to cuddle with her, but would she let me
change positions and not get up, herself?

    Only one way to find out.

    I pulled out, watched my semen start oozing out, and when she
didn't try to move, I decided that since I'd fucked her and put it
there, it made sense to lick it up like a dog would, and...

    Yeah, her cunt looked so damn inviting. It wasn't at all like a
girl's. It was sorta round and puffy, and oozing and sorta bloody
and...

    Was it her smell? Was it the way she just lay there with her legs
spread like she wanted to get fucked again?

    Or was it that her cunt looked like it had 'Eat me!' written all
over it?

    So I kept a hand on her while I moved around until I could cover
her with my mouth and wasn't it nice how her thighs weren't in the
way? It was just right there and easy to get to, so I started sucking
on it and seeing if I could tongue her clit and get her off.

    How would I know she was orgasming, anyway?

    Can bitches orgasm?

    Hey! I could look it up on the net, I bet! There had to be other
people out there who really did fuck bitches, right? Might take
awhile, but maybe I could find some of them and ask questions.

    I hoped I could remember that later.

    I ate her out for like forever, until she finally rolled herself
off the pillow and curled so she could check herself out and do some
cleaning until she was satisfied.

    By the time she finished I'd moved so I could snuggle against her
if she'd let me.

    She shifted enough to check out my crotch and lick my dick until
she decided it was clean enough, then...

    Yes!

    She stretched out with her back against my chest and her butt next
to my crotch, sighed, and I guess she went to sleep.

    That was fine with me, because I was ready to get a nap, too.

    Fucking her had been *intense*, even though I'd been gentle the
second time.

    My last thought before I fell asleep was one about wondering if I
was going to be like this every time, and if so, how would I explain
it to anyone who noticed and figured out the only way I could have
gotten that way was by getting laid?

    * * *

    Pounding on my door, and Dana's 'Woof!' woke me up.

    "Yeah! Who's there?"

    "It's me, Bro! You got Dana in there with you?"

    "Yeah, she's here! What time is it and are dad and mom home yet?"

    "It's about two AM and no, they aren't home. You really are out of
it, you know? Did you forget they told us over dinner that they'd be
gone for the weekend? Another one of dad's business and fun trips, I
think."

    Gone for the weekend?

    "I must have missed it. You alone or you got anyone with you?"

    "Alone. Why the funny question? You usually don't care."

    "Hang on. I gotta talk to you about something."

    "See ya in the kitchen. I'm starving!"

    The first thing I did was open the dog door so Dana could go do
whatever she wanted to.

    Next was putting on my robe and checking myself in the mirror.

    How long was that stupid smile going to stay with me, anyway?
People were gonna keep asking me what I'd done, and I sure didn't need
that.

    So I went to the kitchen and got a snack for myself, then sat
across from her and while I waited for her to unwind enough to notice
me, I ate, and petted Dana, when she showed up.

    Eventually Sis decided she'd had enough and she leaned back and
studied me. "Was Bev that good?"

    "Uhh... No. We got there and all that, then she told me Kim had
told her I'd ass fucked her even though I'd first said I wasn't into
that, and Bev told me she wasn't going to let me fuck her because if I
couldn't be trusted to make no stick when I said it, she couldn't
trust me to respect it when she said no."

    "So what happened then?"

    "Since she'd helped me plan for it all, and all she wanted to do
was not fuck but do all the other crap, I got pissed and took her home
because I felt like I couldn't trust her any more when she said yes."

    "Weird, Bro. So why you got that silly grin, like you'd been
fucking all night?"

    "You gonna tell our folks you're lez?"

    "Shit no! And don't you think about doing it for me!"

    "Me rat you out? You crazy?"

    "Jezus, Bro. Don't scare me like that, ok? What's this got to do
with Bev cutting you off?"

    I sighed. "A lot, Sis. I need to talk about what happened, but I
gotta know you aren't gonna tell *anyone*. Make you a deal. No more
teasing you for being lez when I know I can get away with it, if you
promise me you won't freak and blab everything I tell you."

    She frowned. "You don't need to stop teasing me. People are gonna
wonder about it if you do. Where's your head at?"

    I laughed hysterically. "Where else? In my dick right now."

    She giggled. "I promise, and now you gotta tell me, right?"

    I shudered and looked at Dana.

    "After I dropped Bev at her house, I came home and tried to find
someone else that was free, but they were all busy."

    "Yeah. Friday night, and anybody who knows you and Bev, expected
the two of you to spend the night fucking like rabbits, or until you
ran out of condoms. How many did you take with you?"

    "Four boxes. I had a variety so she could feel the different
textures."

    That got another case of the giggles, so I waited her out.

    "Anyway, I decided to jerk off on the couch, so I locked and
chained the doors like usual, got a towel, and settled."

    "Gods... Your balls must have been real blue by then."

    "Something like that. So there I was, sorta playing with myself,
and wondering if I should fantasize or just remember something, when
something cold hit my balls. At first I thought it was you, and you'd
hit me with an ice cube, but once I could think again, I realized that
if you hadn't been home, there was no way you could have gotten in to
do it. Besides, I didn't hear your giggles."

    She blushed. "Yeah. Get you that good, and there's no way I could
have stopped them. Sounds like you got a good imagination, Bro, if
there was nobody here."

    I looked up. "Yeah. That's what I was kinda thinking, but I felt
myself anyway, and my balls were wet. Too wet for it to be sweat, so I
looked around, and the only thing I could see was Dana, and she was
watching me like normal, so I knew there was nobody around to do it.

    "Anyway, I started petting her and decided she needed attention
more than I needed jacking off, so I forgot about what happened...
Until."

    "Until, Bro? You aren't usually this reluctant to talk."

    "Uh huh." I took a deep breath and sighed it out.

    "I was rubbing Dana's head when she stuck her nose in my crotch
and started licking my dick and balls."

    "Hold it. Are you telling me that Dana cold nosed you while you
were jerking off, then did it again?"

    "Yeah."

    "Umm... I can see why you got weird about all the 'die before
speaking' stuff. So what did you do this time?"

    "I was horny, and her tongue felt better than any girl's tongue
job ever had, so I let her keep going until she quit."

    "Get you off?"

    "No. I guess she quit licking me because she wanted something
else. She walked away a few feet, then flagged me."

    "This is getting weirder. I know Dana flags everyone when she's in
heat..."

    "Yeah. She's in heat. Did you know that she has a cunt, just like
a girl? Weird that I never thought about it like that before. She
knows what it's for, too, because it was obvious she wanted me to fuck
it."

    "So you did? That's seriously strange, you know."

    "Yeah. I do know it, but I was so frustrated, and she was so
willing, and you know how I am when a girl wants it that badly..."

    "Huh! We got that in common, anyway."

    "So I fucked her, and when I was done, she did that excited bark
she does, licked herself a little, then checked me out... And went
outside and did that real crazy barking she does when she's so happy
she can't hold it in."

    Sis lost it and doubled over, she was laughing so hard.

    "Come on, Sis. Yeah, it made her feel good and she had to tell the
world she was freshly fucked. Now you know why I had the dog door to
my room closed. I didn't want her doing it again, because I didn't
have any real good excuses thought up to explain why she would be
bouncing out of my room like that!"

    She suddenly sobered and stared at me. "I get it. You help me, so
now you want me to help you hide?"

    "Uh huh. Because... I know I'm going to keep doing it, even though
I'll still be fucking girls to hide that I'm screwing Dana at home. I
got lots of questions, and problems, to deal with. I was still able to
think, a little, the first time, so I used a condom. The second time
though, I didn't. I was balls deep and stayed that way after I
orgasmed, so I got a real serious question. How long do you think
she's going to be oozing my semen?"

    "Oh. Wow... I used to seep for a couple days if I couldn't take
the time to douche. You'd have been better off ass fucking her, Bro.
And you got another problem. You'd better hope you haven't fucked her,
even with a condom, before she sees the vet."

    "Umm... I hadn't thought about that. So you're ok with it?"

    "You're my Bro, Bro. Kinky, but since Dana is ok with it, I am,
too. What are you going to do if she wants to keep fucking after she's
out of heat?"

    "Hadn't got that far, yet. Knew it could be a problem and decided
to wait until it happens. Got a bigger worry."

    "Bigger than Dana possibly flagging you when she's not in season?"

    "Uh huh. If I'm fucking Dana, I'm not going to be able to fuck my
girlfriends as often, right? They're gonna notice and compare notes.
What do you think is going to happen when they figure out it's not one
of them, and they can't find the new girl to clue her in about the
rules?"

    I blushed. "Oh, I forgot. Dana had come back inside and was
licking my dick when Bev called to apologize and find out if she could
come over. I sorta panicked and shouted 'No!', then I had to apologize
to Dana because she wasn't in trouble. At the same time, I had to act
like I wasn't acting like I didn't want Bev over. It got crazy, but
when it was over, I'd given Dana permission to give me a blow job
while I was on the phone with Bev, and Bev just thought Dana might
have started something I wanted to stop and I was tired because I'd
been playing with Dana after I jerked off. I hinted that I thought I
might be getting sick, so Bev is going to call back this afternoon to
make sure I'm ok."

    "I don't know how you do it. You've got a string that shares you
and doesn't get jealous of each other. Bev must be pretty serious
about you, though. Haven't you been seeing her the most, lately? How
do you feel about her, and maybe settling down a little?"

    "You know I sorta cycle through them, and they're ok with that
because most of them have real boyfriends and they just come to me
when they need a break."

    "Break? I've never had a real talk with any of them, but you must
be something in bed, if they keep coming back."

    "I don't know about that. We fuck sometimes, but there aren't any
long term things involved and we both know it when it happens. Mostly,
we spend a lot of time talking and snuggling, if we can do it without
getting caught. You know. Typical date stuff."

    "Maybe it's the honesty. If I wasn't your sister, I think I'd try
you out, just to find out what you're like on a date."

    I blushed. "Yeah... Well, that reminds me of something I wanted to
ask you. You ever thought about doing anything lez with Dana?"

    "Huh?! Gods, No! You've got a strange mind."

    "You mean sick, don't you? It's nothing like that, and I don't
want to watch or anything else. It's just that I realized dogs have a
damn long tongue, and a nose that lets them get into all the places a
girl has problems reaching. And I know I can't describe how good it
felt when she wagged her tail and curled it so her fur brushed against
my balls."

    She was silent a long time, then she looked at Dana and whispered
softly. "A long tongue that can reach the hard places, huh?"

    "Yeah... Oh, Hell, things are already so bad they can't get any
worse."

    I slid my chair back and opened my robe. "C'mere, Dana."

    It was a stupid command because she already had her nose in my
crotch and was licking me so thoroughly I was getting an erection. I
watched her for awhile, then looked at my sister and shrugged. "I
never taught her how to do that. And I'm not forcing her, right? Don't
expect me to be coherrent much longer, or even remember you're here,
because what she's doing turns me on, and I want to know what it's
like to let her lick me off, finally."

    "You are one seriously overdriven bundle of hormones, Bro. Somehow
we never did the show and tell thing with each other, and I have to
admit that I like what I'm seeing, and I don't know if I like all of
the thoughts I'm having, but it's too late, so let's just go with the
flow, sorta. One rule though, before we both lose it. None of that
incest stuff, ok? I know how impulsive I can be, and I also know how
controlled you are. Sorry to put it all on you, but there is is."

    I looked down and chuckled. "Not a problem, Sis. All I can think
about when I think of fucking, is Dana. Girls are sorta... Bland, now.
Not a turn off yet, but close. See if you can remember to get me to
try and tell you what it was like to fuck her, ok?

    "Uhh... Yeah. What you said. You mind if I rub myself off?"

    "Since you're already doing it, no. I've seen girls do it before,
and I'm more interested in what Dana is doing, even though you're my
sister."

    Then, I ignored my sister and reached to pet and encourage Dana.

    Dana had an endless tongue, and she just kept licking and licking
and...

    Ok. there were some nose nudges in there, too, when she applied
some pressure to get to something interesting, or whatever.

    At some point I started moving my dick for her, and that just
naturally changed into a slow stroking while she licked at the same
time, and it was absolutely incredible and nothing like masturbating
into a girl's mouth.

    It was finally too much and I arched off the chair and grunted as
my semen spurted into the air.

    Dana paused and seemed to watch it when it started, then she came
back with her tongue and really went crazy, licking me while it was
still sorta oozing out, like it was some sort of special treat she
couldn't get enough of.

    Was she some sort of closet cum slut?

    I collapsed back and watched while she cleaned me up, then she
nosed me and watched like she was expecting more and I had to laugh,
very weakly because I was so exhausted.

    "Sorry, Dana. That's it."

    She looked at my face, then back at my dick and nosed it
hopefully.

    "That's it. girl. I'm done You'll have to wait awhile."

    She sneezed, then Sis moaned or something and Dana flinched, then
decided to check her out.

    I really shouldn't have been surprised when Dana nosed her crotch
and started licking, but I was.

    So was my sister, because she sorta screamed, then cut it off and
stared at Dana, who had paused, then gone back to exploring.

    Sis must have realized I was still there because she jerked her
head up and blushed.

    "Uhhh..."

    I grinned at her. "Aren't you going to stop her?"

    "She really does have a long tongue, doesn't she?"

    "Yeah."

    "Umm... Yeah. Dana? You can stop."

    Dana ignored her.

    "Grab her, Bro. I'm too weak... Uhhh!"

    I managed to get out of my chair and by leaning on the table,
worked my over so I could grab Dana's collar and pull backwards.

    "Enough!."

    Oh. Brilliant. She's trained...

    "Dana! Down!"

    I had to let go of her collar or I would have gone down, too.

    "Good girl!"

    "Uhh... Sis? You ok?"

    "Umm... Maybe. It was like... Instant multiple orgasms."

    "So how'd you manage to talk to me?"

    "I didn't want to, and I don't know how I did it, but I had to,
you know? Can you help me to my room so I can pass out?"

    "That bad?"

    "No. It was that good! My head is freaked, my body has had enough,
especially since I was kinda floating from Trisha and... Dana just
tried to send me into LaLa Land. Which would be a good thing, if I'd
been ready for it. Maybe... No. I gotta think real hard about this."

    Then she grinned. "You know, Bro? If it was that good for you, I
kinda see where your head's at, now. Guess we gotta keep each other's
secrets, because while my head keeps telling me it was an accident,
yet so good, my body wants to know how good it would be if I did it
deliberately."

    I laughed. "I will if you will, huh?"

    "Uhh.. Yeah. And we got some serious problems, don't we, Bro?"

    I sobered. "Lots of them, Sis, and I bet we won't be able to think
of all of them."

    She sighed and held out her hand. "Help me to bed. We can talk
after I wake up. And umm... Maybe you should tell Bev that whatever it
is, I might be coming down with it, too, and she'd better not come
over because whatever it is, it might be pretty contagious, so lets be
safe."

    "If she says she was with me while I was coming down with it, so
if she's gonna get it, she should have had it by now or maybe it's
slower to start in her?"

    "Damn! And people are going to want to know who we've been around,
and there goes any hopes of keeping me in the closet!"

    I had a thought and started laughing. "You're not going to like
what I've come up with, because to make it work, we're going to have
to actually do it."

    "What crazy excuse do you think would keep Bev, or anyone else,
away?"

    "Housework. Lots of it. We want to surprise our parents, so we're
going to super clean the house while they're gone. Disease won't keep
her away because she'd want to fawn over me. She hates housework,
though. Last time I had to get the vacuum out while she was here, she
couldn't come up with an excuse to leave, fast enough!"

    She stared at me, then giggled. "Bro, you are absolutely awesome.
Now that we have our story, let's sleep on all this. Maybe we'll be
able to think straight enough to start planning what we do next, after
we get up."

    "You'll probably be up before I am, if Dana decides to keep me
up."

    She stared again, then giggled. "Maybe that's why they keep coming
back. Endurance."

    "You wish! Don't you dare tell anyone, but most of the time we
don't fuck, just tell everyone we did so we don't get hassled about
it."

    "So your balls were *really* hurting that first time with Dana?"

    "Yeah. I saved it for a week because I wanted it to be special
with Bev, and collapsing after the second or third time would have
been embarrassing as Hell, and killed my rep, you know?"

    "I don't get it. What about them comparing notes when you aren't
fucking them as... Often. Oh. Everybody knows you're always able to
fuck. If that suddenly changes, yeah. You're screwed, aren't you?"

    "Yeah. I'm choosy, so none of my girlfriends have blabbed yet, but
if word gets out to the guys..."

    "You are well and truly fucked."

    "Yeah. Stupid, that fucking Dana would cause all the problems like
that, but I know I can't stop while she's in heat. If we stop, she's
going to have to be the one to say no. I... Just can't."

    "Damn, Bro. That's bad. Get me to bed so I can recover, and hope I
don't dream about something really weird, like wishing Trisha had
Dana's tongue."

    "Bad for you, too?"

    "In spite of knowing I should forget it, and not screw up my life
any more. I got a real good thing with Trisha, and there's no way, I
think, that I want to lose it, and besides, I don't want..."

    "Don't want what, Sis? You've never left me hanging before."

    "What if Dana doesn't always need a dick, just something shaped
like one, and some clit action?"

    "That's weird."

    "Uh huh. You can start thinking about what problems we'd get rid
of, and what we'd add, if she turned out to be ok with seeing action
from both of us. Before you do, shut up and help me to my room."

    "Uhh... Yeah. I'm really hoping she turns off when she's out of
heat."

    "So am I, Bro. All we can do is survive the next week or so and
see what happens."

    We both shut up, and I helped her stagger to bed before I used the
bathroom and went to bed, myself.

    The inevitable happened.

    For the first time in my life I went to sleep while I was getting
a blow job. Well, lick job, but you know what I mean.

    All it was when it happened, was one more thing to tell my sister,
after I realized I wasn't going to stay awake. 
---

End: part 1
======

    Exploration 2
    ------

    I woke up tired, but mostly alert. Dana was there, with her chin
on my side, like always, so she got the ear rub I almost always gave
her.

    After everything that had happened, it was nice to have something
normal happen.

    Instead of trying to think, I got dressed and headed for the
kitchen to get something to eat. I was always starving after a night
of fucking, but for some reason fucking Dana had really taken it out
of me.

    Sis was up, and she was washing cabinets and stuff. "Good..." She
glanced at the clock. "Afternoon, Bro."

    "Yeah. LIkewise. Don't say anything serious yet. I gotta eat."

    "Relax. I precooked a large breakfast and all I have to do is nuke
it for a few minutes. Sit."

    "What happened to 'Get it yourself, and while you're at it...'?"

    She got the giggles, cut them off and then shook her head before
she pointed at a chair. "Anyone else, and I'd watch you try and get
yourself out of all this. Sit. Eat. Then I'll talk to you when you're
really awake and can focus."

    "That's not an answer."

    "Sympathy. And I need to cover my own ass, too. We're in it
together, bigtime."

    "Uhh... What happened? You do more with Dana?"

    "More like she did it to me, at first. She came in and woke me up
by licking me off again. I musta been dreaming of Trisha and it was
when I reached to run my fingers through her hair, that I hit fur and
got awake real fast. Screamed, too. Glad nobody was here except you."

    "Never heard a thing."

    "Figured that out when you didn't break my door down. Also figured
out Dana must have worn you out pretty good."

    "Yeah. Fell asleep in the middle of one of her lick jobs. Knew I
was doing it, too."

    "Crazy. Anyway, I decided I had to know the rest, so I relaxed and
went for it. Since I knew there'd be nobody to stop her, I grabbed a
pillow I could scream into. Glad I did, to."

    "So she got you off?"

    "And didn't stop, so I had multiples until I passed out. That
tongue of hers is addicting. Here's your breakfast."

    I ate, then got myself something to drink and resettled. "How long
you been up?"

    "Hours. Got woke up about nine, then couldn't get back to sleep,
so I've been doing cleaning stuff that was quiet, while I waited for
you."

    "Got woke up? I didn't hear the phone."

    "The doorbell, and you know how Dana reacts to that. Nearly shoved
me out of bed when she launched."

    I sighed. "Been a long time since we had a door to door stop by."

    "Wasn't that. It was Bev. You got some serious problems, Bro, and
most of them start with the name 'Beverly'."

    I groaned.

    "Yep. She passed the word to everyone, and they decided they were
going to give you a break, because they've all noticed you've been
getting tired easily, recently. Guess who your designated SO and nurse
is? Bro? Maybe you should have encouraged some jealousy and
possessiveness."

    "Never mind that. Where is she now?"

    "You were right about her and housework. She was going to stay,
but as soon as I told her our plans for the rest of the weekend, and
asked if she wanted to help make sure you didn't overdo it, she made
her excuses and said you could call her when you had time. That
happened later."

    "Come on, Sis. Give."

    "You, Bro, and caught in the middle of a female conspriacy to do
what's best for you. If it was anyone else, I'd try and hide my grin
while I watch what happens."

    "Thanks, I think. How bad is it, or can you tell me that?"

    "Bad. If you get real quiet, you should be able to hear The
Wedding March."

    "You telling me about it doesn't make sense."

    "I asked Bev about that when she started telling me about the
midnight conference. They want you to know what's going on, so you
know you can still trust any of the ones involved. Even Bev doesn't
care who you settle with, long term, although she does admit she has
it bad for you and wants a ring someday. All of the ones involved are
thinking about a ring, but they're going to come at you one at a time
to reduce the pressure, a little. It all ends as soon as you pick your
long term SO. If I was reading Bev right, a poly relationship, with a
'Senior SO or Wife' isn't unthinkable to them."

    "Suddenly, some odd stuff is making sense."

    "Oh?"

    "Yeah. Mainly, Bev changing her mind like that. It must have been
some sort of test, and I think I must have passed it. I know it wasn't
because she's a virgin, because she hasn't been, for years."

    "I was wondering about that, too. It was her idea in the first
place, right?"

    "Right."

    "Ok. I didn't ask about that, but after listening to her, backing
out made less sense than it had last night when you told me about it."

    "Thanks. That's good to hear. It helps to know at least one person
in my world thinks that wasn't normal female jitters."

    "Good."

    My mind veered. "Hey, Sis?"

    "What?"

    "I think I missed something, or forgot it after you told me you
were going to stop being bi, and be a lesbian."

    "Oh? I think I told you everything, but that was a pretty
emotional night, so I can't be certain I did."

    "Yeah. Ever regret deciding to be a lesbian?"

    "At first, but not any more. Where are you headed?"

    "Do you know what made you switch like that, and go exclusive? I
understand the het to bi thing, sorta, but once there, I don't get the
exclusive bit and cutting guys out completely."

    She sighed. "I never told you the real reason I quit guys. They're
jerks, most of them, and I was tired of having no way to know they
were, until it was too late. I'm female, so I like to think I know
them pretty good and can spot the bitches who act a lot like guys and
want to play games with my head... Oh."

    "Yeah, Sis. They're giving me choices, now. What will they do if I
decide none of them are the right one, since all of them are messing
with my head, and right now, Bev was the worst when she cut me off
after giving her word?

    "Only two females I can trust right now, and both of them are
right here when I need them."

    "I gotta ask, even though I know the answer. You gonna consider
being gay or bi?"

    "When both sides like to fuck with my head? No. Maybe later. I
don't know, and I'd probably think about that if I didn't have another
option I can consider."

    "Bro, that's... Drastic."

    I laughed. "What about perverted and stuff like that?"

    "I quit letting other people tell me what I should do and think,
sexually, a long time ago. Besides, after what Dana did for me..."

    "Yeah? I know you Sis. If something fucks up between you and
Trisha, you're going to need some time by yourself to put your head
back together, right? You going to stop crying on my shoulder when
that happens?"

    "Never, Bro. But what I said about no incest is still true."

    "Same for me. So you're thinking the same way I am about that,
too?"

    It was a whisper. "Dana."

    "Yeah, or a dog or bitch like her. If it was a dog, would you try
its penis out?"

    Another whisper. "Yes. I miss the real thing, attached to a body
that cares for me. Don't tell anyone that, ok? It would devastate
Trisha. I'm exclusive now, but if I lose her, I might go back to being
bi."

    "I'll be silent. But we both got some serious problems."

    "Agreed. Any ideas?"

    "Only one, for me. Since they're letting me know, and want what
happens to be my choice, they just gave me a good reason to cut them
all off for at least a couple weeks while I take time to put my head
together so I can be fair about it."

    "How you going to explain walking around like you're still getting
laid?"

    "They can cover for me, or I can masturbate more than usual."

    "You want four marriage minded girls to walk around and tell
everyone you're getting laid by one of them, when you aren't doing any
sex at all, as far as they will know?"

    I grinned. "Call it a test, to see if I can trust them. I got a
way to make it even worse, too."

    "You're pissed, aren't you?"

    "Yep. Because right now, I don't want *any* of them close to me.
We always promised we wouldn't play games with each other, unless we'd
agreed on the rules ahead of time."

    Her smile was sorta hungry. "So what's this way to make it worse?
I want to help."

    "Since whoever I marry will have to get used to me having a dog of
some kind around, they can ALL help us teach Dana not to flag people
when she's in heat. We've put up with it at home, but it's time we got
serious about making her control herself better."

    Her eyes went wide, then she giggled. "You're going to get them to
help us hide, and they won't have a clue they're doing it!"

    "Yep. If they don't want to help, they're off the list. You in?"

    "Of course!"

    Then she froze.

    "What's wrong?"

    "Before she left, she wanted to check on you so she could tell
everyone else you were ok."

    "I can believe that."

    "Uh huh. By then, Dana had gotten bored and disappeared."

    "Uhh... Into my room?"

    "I didn't know, and Bev surprised me with wanting to check on you.
She was already in the hallway before I could think about what Dana
might be doing, and I couldn't think of a good reason to stop Bev."

    "So what happened?"

    "You were lucky, sorta. You were still naked and asleep on top,
and Dana was curled up next to you when Bev opened the door. How come
you didn't at least lock it, anyway?"

    "You know the answer to that one, right? Did you lock yours?"

    "No, we were the only ones here and we weren't expecting company.
I hear you, Bro. We gotta be a lot more paranoid."

    "Uh huh. Besides, Sis, I bet you had the same problem I did. Not
enough energy to get up and do it, even if you had thought about it.
So what happened, if Dana wasn't doing anything except taking a nap
next to me?"

    She sighed. "You looked good like that, Bro, and Bev thought so,
too. She decided to give you a farewell kiss, except when she bent
down, Dana growled at her and wouldn't let her get closer."

    "And I never noticed?"

    "Well, it's hard to tell about that. You put an arm over Dana and
snuggled against her. She shut up, but kept an eye on Bev."

    "Crap!"

    "Uh huh. Bev freaked at first, because Dana is always so friendly,
then, before I could think of anything even crazily logical, she
solved the problem for us."

    "Yeah? That's hard to believe. I guess I should be happy I didn't
try to hump her while I was at it. Did either of you notice if I had
an erection?"

    "Limp. Damp, though. Bev must have noticed, because she made a
comment. about you looking like you'd been sweating, so it made sense
you were on top of the covers and naked. She was worried about you
getting chilled, but decided that wouldn't be a problem because the
house was warm."

    "Nice to have some good luck. I wonder which diety I should thank
for that? I'll look it up on the net, later. Get back to Bev not going
apeshit about Dana growling at her."

    "I've heard a lot about people seeing what they want to see, but
how Bev missed that mix of protection and love in Dana's eyes and
attitude, I'll probably never figure out. Or maybe she did see it, and
didn't figure out the real reason for it. Yeah, that's more likely."

    "Anyway, Sis?"

    "She thought it was great that Dana was being so protective, so
you could get enough sleep. She decided that if *she* wasn't allowed
to get near you, maybe Dana could be trained to keep all of them away
from you, unless you said it was ok. That way, none of them could
cheat and try to get you to fuck them on a date or when you were
alone. So, she's going to go back and see if everyone else is ok with
that, and if they are, Dana will get to go along on all your dates.
They'll insist on it.

    "Bro, all four of them are that serious about you, and Bev sees
Dana as insurance, if she's that willing to keep them all away from
you while this is going on. This isn't about getting fucked, Bro. It's
about the emotional shit, for life."

    I groaned and stared at her, then looked down at Dana. "So if I
called her, and apologized for Dana growling at her and warning her
off, she'd laugh it off and tell me she wants Dana to do that to all
of them, even on dates?"

    "Probably. She's pretty sure the others will go for her idea.
Confirming that was most of her excuse for leaving after I mentioned
housework."

    "So I might be able to get the next two weeks to myself, which
means that as long as mom and dad never figure it out, I can be making
out with Dana and fucking her, which will probably make her even more
possessive, and nobody is going to care, because that's what they
want, anyway?"

    "Uh huh. Good summary."

    "Yeah. Thanks. Then I'll be reinforcing that attitude when I take
Dana on all my dates, or invite a girl over, which will help convince
Dana she's number one, and when it comes to intimacy, she's the only
one."

    "Right again."

    "Wish I wasn't. How do I turn her off, when all this is over?"

    "Uhh... I don't know. Maybe you should talk to a trainer and see
what they think, since you want to get her to stop flagging, anyway.
Add it to the list of things you want her to do. Maybe the guy we took
her to for obedience classes, if he's still around. Bro? I don't think
you'll find anything to cover this, on the net."

    "I don't know. Doesn't matter if I did, because I'm not so out of
it to think I can do any training like this unsupervised, and we need
to get the flagging under control while she's still in heat, anyway,
which means I need to find a trainer willing to help, today."

    "Good point. I think the old mechanical address and phone thing is
in a drawer in one of the desks in the den. Want me to look for it?"

    "Nahh... I'll do it as part of cleaning up the desks. That sort of
stuff should be in one place anyway, and if I have time later, I can
scan them or type everything in. I bet that alone would be enough to
shock them and keep them from getting too nosy about our weekend,
otherwise. At least they won't ask us if we got laid."

    Then I reached and petted Dana's head, since she'd gotten tired of
me doing nothing, and settled her chin on my leg. "So, what about your
problems, Sis? Anything we can deal with, now that I can put most of
mine on hold?"

    "Have you been thinking we should do some searching on the net?"

    "Yes."

    "Good, maybe. It's easy to stumble on the porn, because it's all
in your face, once you get rid of the filters, right?"

    "True. I can't believe how aggressive and sneaky some of those
sites are. My browser is locked down so much I have to unlock it for
the sites I want to see, sometimes."

    "Uh huh. MIne, too. Maybe not as much as yours, because I usually
ask you to do the searches when they get too hard for me to figure
out. Have you thought about what that means, though?"

    "No. Too many other things on my mind."

    She giggled. "Point. I had plenty of time to think after I woke up
from passing out. I was too languid feeling, and didn't want to spoil
the mood while I waited to go to sleep normally."

    I chuckled. "So? Anything worth sharing?"

    "Huh! You. Thanks for being a gentleman about it. Anyway, yes. If
the porn sites are easy to find, I figure the sites we want will be
hard to find, so they don't get hit during the purges."

    I thought about it. "Maybe. They must be out there somewhere,
though. If I'd been doing it awhile, I think I'd want to at least let
new people know about some of the mistakes they could make. I know for
certain at least one of them is painful for a guy."

    "You made it?"

    "Yep. First time I tried to fuck Dana, my dick hit bone--hard. It
was like she didn't have a hole to fuck."

    "That doesn't make sense, Bro. Dogs have fucked her lots of times
when she's been in heat."

    "Yeah, I knew that, too, so I explored with a finger and found out
her cunt and her vulva don't line up. If you don't go in at the right
angle, it's like there's nothing there to fuck."

    "That weird. What about the searches?"

    "Don't know. Other problem is how do we find out if the sites we
find are supportive, and not traps?"

    "I did think about a possibility."

    "Oh?"

    "Stories. Look for ones that get the details right, then contact
the authors to see how they did the research."

    "Do we know enough details we have a chance of being able to tell
when someone is snowing us?"

    "I can think of at least three. The angle thing you just
mentioned, the fact a bitch can lick a man or a woman off so good they
pass out, and the way she licked you before she flagged you, to tell
you what she wanted. I bet most people would think all of those are
fantasies, right?"

    "Umm... Yeah. I can add something else. Dana doesn't taste
anything like a girl, and even though her odor is strong, she tastes
pretty bland and flat."

    "You ate her out?"

    "Uh huh. Before and after I fucked her the second time."

    "Yuck!"

    "I was too into it to care, by then. Dogs do it all the time, and
I figured Dana needed some foreplay, because I've never seen her let a
dog just run up and fuck her. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Which reminds me. There's something else I want to find out. She's got
a clit, so I assume she can orgasm, right?"

    "Makes sense, sorta."

    "Good. If she can orgasm, how do I tell she's doing it, or done
it? Girls are pretty obvious, but she wasn't. About all I can say is
that the second time, on my bed, when I was done, I ate her until she
rolled away from me and cleaned herself, then she stretched out and
went to sleep. I think she likes sharing the afterglow sometimes, but
is that because she'd had some good orgasms, or just because she was
ready to go to sleep, anyway?"

    "I don't have a clue. You do realize that a lot of people who find
out are going to wonder how we know Dana wants sex of some sort, and
they're going to ask you how you know you aren't raping her."

    I sighed. "I should turn her loose on them. I knew, because she
licked me first, then stopped and flagged me, just like she sometimes
noses dogs before she flags them. Then, when I tried to fuck her, she
let me. Oh yeah, when she licked me that first time, I tried to push
her away and she growled at me and kept licking. She definitely knew
what she wanted to do, as far as I'm concerned."

    "Bro, there's still one thing that doesn't make any sense. Why
would she want to go all the way, now, when she's been flagging us
every time she's in heat and never been aggressive when we've told her
off or ignored her? And... How come she licked me off last night, not
once, but at least twice, even though she's *never* done anything to
hint she was interested in me as a sex object?"

    "Never thought about that stuff. I guess those are more questions
we can ask, if we ever find someone that's willing to listen to
questions."

    I sighed and looked at Dana again. "Sorry, Dana. I'like to do
more, but I have some stuff to do first."

    "That's weird, Bro. You've always treated her like she
understands, but I just realized it."

    I shrugged. "She's got feelings just like we do, and it makes me
feel better to treat her like she's a real person. Maybe she
understands the tones or something, because she usually acts like she
understands something when I've said it."

    "Yeah. She's pretty smart, too. That stuff with the gate latches
so she can get out of her run and lay on the grass. I always thought
she rattled the gate or something, until I saw her look around, then
lift it with her nose."

    I laughed. "I don't think I'll ever forget the day I caught her
pawing at the kid latch on the cupboard door, trying to get it to
release. You guys never believed me until she came in the living room
with one of her dog biscuits, and we were all there and watching a
movie."

    "Uh huh. I'm thinking it's a good thing she can't really talk like
we do. Can you picture what would happen if she went around telling
other dogs you'd fucked her, and she'd licked us both off in one
night?

    I shuddered. "I can picture her telling *people* and that's why I
want to get her to stop flagging unless one of us says it's ok."

    "Gods! Good point!"

    "Thanks. I'm going to the den so I can get started and find that
phone number. You?"

    "I'll start in the living room. I should be able to distract Dana
with the vacuum for awhile, to give us both a break."

    I was so used to the den, that I hadn't paid attention to how
cluttered and disorganized it really was. It took me two hours to find
the phone number for the trainer, and I was lucky at that, because I'd
pulled the drawer out after I emptied it, so I could wash it, and the
Teledex had been underneath it, along with a lot of other stuff.

    By then, I guess Dana had gotten bored with watching my sister
clean the living room and she'd settled on the couch to watch me for
awhile.

    It wasn't like she could get comfortable on the floor, because I
had the desks taken apart, and drawer contents in various piles while
I was sorting things, and she'd learned a long time ago that she
shouldn't turn stuff like that into toys.

    Besides, since she was on the couch, I was able to pause and pet
her every time I walked by, which was probably something else she'd
figured out a long time ago.

    There was another advantage she approved of. When I stopped and
went to my knees for a longer petting session, it turned out my crotch
was just the right height she could stretch slightly and nose it.

    "Pushy. Later. I promise."

    I kept petting her, and got to thinking that if she could nose me
so easily, that meant the couch was probably at the right height for
fucking her while she was on her back.

    I almost took a break to find out, but I forced myself to only
roll her over so I could rub her stomach and get a better idea of the
possibilities.

    I decided it would be a close thing, and worth checking
out--later.

    It was time to make that phone call.

    I had the first couple numbers entered when I realized I didn't
really know what sort of stuff Bev had in mind. That suggested a very
attractive possibility, so I cleared the phone and called Bev.

    She answered right after the first ring.

    "Hi, Rick!"

    Isn't caller id wonderful?

    "Hey, Bev. Before you ask, I feel a lot better. Must have been
real tired, is all, since Sis said I slept through you coming over.
That's sort of what made me call this early."

    "Yeah, you were really out of it."

    "She said you were going to kiss me like I was sleeping beauty?"

    "Uh huh. Dana stopped me though. Probably good she did. She tell
you why I was there?"

    "Some of it. Sounds freaky. You serious about letting me only be
around you like a real steady girlfriend, instead of all of us just
sorta mixing things up?"

    "Uh huh. We've been pretty selfish, to make you collapse like
that. The four of us are gonna still be around after graduation, and
over the summer, so you should have plenty of time for all of us,
before college starts."

    Shit. Sis was right.

    "Uhhh.. Yeah. You know, that's a Hell of a surprise. Can I have
some time to think it over before it happens? You know, some time
alone?"

    "How long you think it will take?"

    "A couple weeks, maybe?"

    "Oh, is that all? Yeah, that's not a problem. I thought you might
want a couple months or something real long, anyway."

    "Thanks. You'll pass the word? And what's this weird stuff about
training Dana to be some sort of chaperone?"

    "My idea, after she growled at me. It isn't going to be normal for
us to try and do the real date stuff all the time, with the being
chaste and no touchie-feelie, ya know?"

    I laughed. "True. But why do it that way?"

    She hesitated, and I had the feeling she might have blushed.
"Umm... There's a problem, and we need your help with it."

    "Yeah?"

    "Uh huh. We all want to get real serious about you. The sex and
that stuff is great, ya know? But we need to have some time to really
find if our heads are together on this. So it would be cool if you
could kinda see if you can pick one of us, or if you can't make up
your mind. If that happens, well, we'll know and maybe once this other
stuff is over, we can figure out a solution that keeps us together
anyway."

    "What if it's none of you?"

    "That's easy. Things stay the same as they are now, right?"

    "That's not what I meant, Bev. You know our parents are allway
insisting that part of being mature is planning for the possibilities
we don't like or think couldn't possibly happen?"

    "Yeah? So?"

    "So what I'm asking is what happens if we all do this, and all of
us decide there's nothing there any more and we should all just sorta
drift apart and keep looking for the right person?"

    "Can we stay friends if that happens?"

    "We're gonna be living in the same places, right? Or nearby? I
can't think of anything that would make us hate each other so much we
couldn't be friends. Can you?"

    "Nahh... So that's cool then."

    "So, this bit with making Dana be our chaperone. Since you know
what you want, I figure you can talk to the trainer and find out if
it's possible to really do it."

    "You're ok with it?"

    "Yes. I even have the number for the trainer we took her to for
that obedience class, years ago."

    "That's great!"

    "Yeah, and while you're at it, Sis and I would appreciate it if
you could find out if something else is possible."

    "Oh?"

    Careful, now...

    "Uh... Yeah... It's embarrassing and we're sorta upset with
ourselves for not dealing with it a long time ago."

    "She been good, I don't get it."

    "Yeah. Well, it isn't as bad when other people are around. When
she's in heat, she keeps flagging people, and she's already worse this
time than she usually is. Think you could ask him if there's a way to
get her to stop doing it?"

    "Uhhh... Oh. *That* problem. It would be a good idea to stop it,
wouldn't it? Yeah. I can check and find out. She can't be the only
bitch in the world who does it."

    "Yep. And if it can't be stopped, it would be nice to be able to
tell people it's normal for intact bitches to do it, so would they
*please* stop teasing me about something I can't control, and didn't
encourage."

    She giggled. "Not your type, huh? Hey, relax. I know she's not,
just couldn't resist."

    "Thanks, Bev. So you want the number, or not? I really need to get
back to what I was doing. I've got every desk in the den torn apart
and everything is scattered in piles on the floor right now."

    "Found something to write with while we were talking. Go."

    I gave her the number, and she laughed. "I'll call you tomorrow.
If this one can't help, maybe he can tell me about someone who can.
Laterz."

    "Laterz, Bev. Tell everyone I still love them all, in spite of
this crazy shit you're hitting me with, ok?"

    "It's done. Bye, lover."

    I hung up, and sighed. while I petted Dana some more. "Damn, that
was an odd experience."

    "Yes, it was. I came in late on that one. Did I just hear you get
Bev to make the phone call to the trainer?"

    "Yep. Made sense to have her do it, since she knows what results
she wants and I don't."

    "She didn't have a problem with the flagging thing?"

    "Not the way I put it. Proud of that inspiration."

    "How? I missed that part."

    "I told her the truth, that Dana is already worse than usual, and
I'm getting tired of being teased, as if I was encouraging her to do
it. If it can't be stopped, it would be nice to be able to tell people
it's normal for an intact bitch, and there's nothing we can do about
it."

    "You're right. That's smooth. When will we know?"

    "Tomorrow, hopefully. Bev said she wasn't going to call me until
then."

    She giggled. "And you telling her you were in the middle of a
major cleanup didn't have a thing to do with that delay, right? I
heard that part. You're evil, Bro, and I like it."

    She looked around and sighed. "Did all these piles happen before
or after you found the phone number?"

    "Before. It had worked its way under a drawer. Last drawer I had
to empty, too. If I hadn't pulled it out to wash it, I never would
have found the Teledex."

    "I'm done with the living room. It really wasn't that bad. I think
I'd better help with this, or you might still be in here when they get
home tomorrow evening."

    "It's not that bad. The drawers are next to the stuff that will go
back in them. I sorted while I was emptying them."

    "All of that really came out of the desks? It doesn't look like it
wll go back."

    "Do we have a choice about making it fit? Might have to move
things around, but I really don't want to, because we're all used to
finding things in certain places, so that stuff I'm leaving where it
was, no matter how much sense it makes to put it somewhere else. Most
of the shifted stuff is paperwork that needs to be properly filed."

    She sighed. "It's a cop out, but let's take a break and get a
snack or something, since you did the sorting already."

    "Sounds good to me, and... You be upset if I take a few minutes to
get there?"

    "Why should I be upset?"

    "Dana's on the couch."

    "So? She thinks she owns it. You know that."

    "Uh huh. Funny thing about the couch."

    "Yeah? Looks ok to me."

    "It's just the right height that all Dana had to do was turn her
head so she could nose my crotch. I want to find out if it's the right
height I can fuck her when she's on her back."

    "Ah. That explains why her butt is at the edge and in the crack
between the cushions. Silly me. I just assumed she'd sprawled and
wound up there, like always. She had help this time, huh?"

    "Yeah."

    "You got your condoms with you?"

    I laughed. "I'm dressed. Of course I have some."

    "Go for it. Don't let me bother you when I come back with some
food for the two of you. Mind if I settle and watch?"

    "You're getting kinky, Sis. No, I don't mind."

    "Good. We'll talk about that kinky, after you fuck Dana, and have
something to eat."

    "Hey! While you're up, chain the doors and stuff before you worry
about the food!"

    "Yeah!"

    Dana hadn't moved from where I'd settled her, so I gave Sis some
time to get the doors taken care of, then I dug out a condom before I
dropped my pants.

    As soon as she realized I was getting naked, she shifted so she
could check me out, so I let her lick me erect before I tried getting
her to back off a little so I could put the condom on.

    It got a lot easier when she decided to work my balls.

    It went on, and I petted her a little, then decided it was time,
if she'd let me, so I sorta shoved at her to get her to stop and
settle again, then I rolled her to her back and shifted her until she
was in position.

    We didn't really line up until I had the idea of grabbing a
cushion from the back of the couch for my knees, and that turned out
to be perfect.

    This time I just wiped my dick around for awhile to get it wet
enough, then lined up and eased myself into her.

    Her tail went mad for a few seconds, then went limp.

    This time, I decided she deserved the full treatment, so I really
petted her stomach and did all the other stuff I usually did for
whatever girl I was fucking, and she didn't protest, just sorta sighed
once in awhile, or wagged her tail briefly.

    I did discover that using two fingers to rub on either side of her
vulva got her to curl her tail up instead of wagging it, which felt
really good, but it was still best when she wagged it back and forth
and I could feel it hit the insides of my thighs.

    Dana was my world, and I totally forgot my sister, until I felt
the couch shift and she spoke softly. "Don't move or stop. Since
you're not really fucking her yet, I want to see if she'll let me hand
feed her. Wouldn't mind hand feeding you, either. Willing?"

    "Doors taken care of and curtains closed?"

    "Even in here. Checked the rooms to make sure the windows were all
closed and locked, too. Disabled the garage door when I remembered
it's remote controlled, and locked the door to the garage."

    "Huh. Funny. Mom and dad never mentioned the garage door when they
told us to chain the doors if we were going to fuck in the house. And
they'd be more likely to come in that way, wouldn't they?"

    "Uh huh. Maybe they wanted us to figure it out on our own, or be
able to get in anyway."

    She hand fed Dana a few times and Dana took the food carefully,
like she was distracted and not really into eating.

    Sis noticed and laughed. "I don't think I'd want to be distracted
from what's going on, either. I'll try again after the two of you
finish and you're sharing the afterglow. Think you can keep it up
while I try spoiling you, Bro?"

    "I'm willing to try a little. Let's take our time so I can make
sure I don't go soft, ok?"

    "Sure."

    I was paying more attention to what I was doing with Dana, than to
the food so I was surprised when Sis wiped my lips with a napkin. "All
done, Bro."

    "Wow. Thanks. Did I really eat a whole meal?"

    "Yep. Whole thing, and even the glass of juice I brought with me."

    "That was quick."

    "You wish! You've been eating and fucking Dana for over thirty
minutes. No wonder you're so popular. It's the endurance and the way
you take care of whoever you're fucking, if you're doing to Dana, what
you usually do with your girlfriends."

    "Uhh... Thanks. I just felt like seeing if what I usually do would
work for Dana, too."

    "I haven't seen her complain. Maybe you'd better get serious,
though. No point in fucking her raw, right?"

    "Yeah. I wonder how many orgasms she's had, or even if she's had
them?"

    "I don't know, Bro. I think she wags her tail to kinda show how
she's feeling. She's so limp and relaxed that it's like she's keeping
it all inside, otherwise. Got a sorta upside down weird smile once,
that I've never seen before. Maybe that's what she does. when she's
had a good one. You ever feel anything different?"

    "Maybe. I was moving, and in the middle of a stroke, it got easier
to slide back and forth. Girls are a lot looser, and that never
happens with them. They clench when they orgasm and Dana never has,
that I can remember."

    She reached to pet Dana's stomach. "I can hear it in your voice,
Bro, and tell by the way you've really paid attention to learning the
details. Hooked, aren't you?"

    "Yeah. later, huh? If I'm going to orgasm, I need to focus or I'll
lose my erection. I don't think Dana would like that very much."

    "You're good weird, Bro. I'll leave you alone."

    "Thanks. It's sorta hot to watch you petting her and stuff, so you
don't need to stop doing it, ya know?"

    She giggled. "You want a threeesome with our bitch, and you called
me kinky..."

    She stopped talking, but didn't stop with the action stuff.

    Dana just laid there, and let us do it to her. We knew she was an
attention slut, but this had to be the most extreme case of it I'd
ever seen. I never dreamed our bitch would turn out to be fixated on
fucking humans.

    I didn't know if I wanted it to keep happening when Dana went out
of heat, or not.

    And my sister. She acted like she was really getting into petting
Dana while I was fucking her, and I couldn't believe how hot it was,
which pushed me over the edge and I really started slamming into Dana,
and suddenly a *hand* cupped my balls and squeezed, and that was all
it took.

    I orgasmed, and actually blanked. I knew I had, because Sis was
behind me and had her arms wrappped around me and I couldn't remember
her moving.

    "Hey, Bro. You back?"

    "Uh huh. What happened?"

    "I think you passed out during your orgasm. I barely managed to
catch you before you fell on Dana."

    "Uhh... Thanks. Was that really your hand that squeezed my balls?"

    "Yeah. Nobody else here, right? So much for the no incest stuff. I
couldn't resist doing it when I realized you were ready to blow off.
Be happy I managed to stop myself from sticking a finger in your ass."

    "I might have died from feeling so good."

    She giggled into my ear. "Might as well find out how you taste."

    She kissed my neck, and then ran her tongue over it and I
shivered. "Uhh... Sis? Usually when a girl does that, she's pretty
serious. I'm done for awhile, and we really do need to get the den put
back together."

    "That mean you like it?"

    "Yeah. A lot. But I think if we do more, it's gonna complicate our
lives more than we can handle right now, ya know?"

    "I'm hurting, Bro."

    "Uh huh. I can tell. Can you call Trisha and manage to wait for
her to show up?"

    "I need a man's touch. Bro." Her hand went to my dick and lightly
touched what was exposed. "I need this. *That*, I can wait for, as
long as you take care of me while I wait."

    "You're making if hard for me to keep saying no, Sis."

    "It's supposed to be impossible."

    "Yeah, I kinda figured that's where your head is at right now.
What about that no incest stuff we agreed on?"

    "I changed my mind. Girls can do that, right?"

    I sighed. "Yeah, Sis, they can do that. Some of them do it more
than others. So, tell me, just so I know what's going on in your head.
You testing me like Bev did last night?"

    Her hand froze and she shuddered.

    "Shit! That's cold, Bro."

    She went on before I could reply. "Right thing to do, though.
Thanks. My head's where it should be, now."

    "Welcome, Sis. Sorry. I was pretty desperate, ya know?"

    She hugged me, then let go and settled on the couch. "I can
imagine. I was getting pretty persuasive, huh?"

    "You sure you want to keep going there?"

    "Not an answer."

    "Yeah, you were getting pretty persuasive. If we hadn't made that
agreement, I'm kinda sure I would have used another condom and fucked
you as soon as I was hard again. Good thing I'd just fucked Dana, and
my head wasn't in my crotch any more."

    "Gods... I'm so sorry, Bro. It all hit me at once, ya know? Here
was the guy I respect the most, even though he's my brother, and I'd
just seen him prove he's gotta be the most tender and caring lover I'd
ever met. It was like I was envious of Dana and your girlfriends, and
I just had to get some of it for myself. And..."

    I reached and touched her face. "I love you too, Sis. You weren't
my sister while it all happened. You were a girl who accepted all of
me, and helped me. I couldn't stop from thinking that it was all so
right, and sorta meant to be.

    "But, you *are* my sister, and we've always looked out for each
other. You were out of it, and I had to do the thinking for both of us
so we didn't really fuck our lives up. I wasn't thinking like this
when I said that shit about you testing me, but it's like fucking
Dana. I can't ever pretend it didn't happen, and it's happened more
than once.

    "Once is an accident, ya know? Maybe we could have left it at
that, but I gotta be honest. Fucking you would be like fucking Dana.
Once I start, I know I won't be able to stop unless you tell me to."

    She sighed. "Why can't we fight each other like normal brothers
and sisters do, Bro? All this wouldn't have happened. Maybe our lives
would be normal, and we'd both be eager to move out, just so we could
get away from each other, and our parents."

    "I don't know, Sis, but I don't want it any other way. Fighting
sucks and as far as I can tell, fucks up your life more than the
problems we have because we like each other."

    "Yeah. You're right. I don't really want it to change, either. You
ready to pull out? I think Dana's gone to sleep on us. Maybe that
barking thing only happens when she's fucked doggy style."

    "Huh? Oh, yeah, you're right. She does look comfortable."

    I pulled out, then looked down. "Would you believe that the first
time, she let me hold the condom while she cleaned it? Then she super
cleaned my dick. Think she's a cum slut, too?"

    "If she is, she doesn't care if it's male or female cum. Maybe I
can find out later, after we get the den put back together. You wanna
watch? Only fair, now."

    "Might as well. Maybe I can learn how to eat a girl until she
passes out. Come close a couple times, but I was never sure how I did
it."

    "What do you do, Bro? Study sex like you were going to take finals
on it?"

    "Sorta. Dad would kill me if he thought I was treating girls like
sex toys, right?"

    "Mom would do the same to me. But I don't get it. We're all built
the same, right? Can't you like do the same thing and we all respond
the same way? Guys are pretty simple, ya know?"

    I sighed. "You know, Sis, suddenly I got a real good handle on why
you went lez."

    "Really?"

    "Uh huh. Sure, guys are built the same, but we all like our sex
done a little differently. Our heads are different, so what really
turns us on is different, even though you can push a button most of
the time because we're always horny."

    "How'd you learn so much about guys?"

    "Same way you learned about guys and girls. We talk and compare
notes. We know what we like, and we know which girls will do it, and
which won't. You did the same thing, remember?"

    "So how'd you learn so much about girls? Or am I missing something
obvious?"

    "I'm not a jerk, Sis. I don't just fuck and get my rocks off. We
talk to each other, and I listen to what I'm being told. When we're
not sure, sometimes we experiment, and we talk at the same time, so we
know where our heads are at."

    "You sound a lot older, all of a sudden. Like mom and dad, in
fact... Oh. Damn. I could tell you wanted to laugh when we got the
lecture, but you listened, too, didn't you? More than I did, it sounds
like."

    I sighed and sat next to my sister, then hugged her. "Yeah, sis. I
listened real close and tried to forget I knew the real world wasn't
like they were telling us. Some of that stuff is universal and when
they said we should try to not make their mistakes, it got me to
wondering what those mistakes had been."

    "Ever find out?"

    "Not a clue."

    "Hand me your condom."

    The change in subject surprised me, but I took it off and handed
it to her. She looked at, held it up and sniffed it, then held it next
to Dana's nose.

    Dana woke up, sniffed, then opened her eyes and took the time to
lick it clean.

    After she was finished, she rolled over and sorta sprawled on Sis'
lap so she could reach my penis, then she cleaned me before she got up
and left.

    Sis studied the condom, then handed it back to me. "I've never
asked before. What do you do with the used ones? I know you don't just
toss them in your trash, because I've looked when I had to empty it."

    I chuckled. "Usually I toss them in a dumpster before I get home
If I can't do that, I save them and toss them out all at once, in our
dumpster, just before pick up. Everyone knows I use them, but there's
no point in letting them find out how many I use."

    "Simple and normal. I should have figured that out a long time
ago."

    "Maybe."

    "What was that stuff about getting a handle on why I went lez?"

    "Something you said earlier, and then your comments about all
girls being built the same and all guys being pretty simple."

    "Yeah? I still don't get it."

    "Remember when you said you liked what you saw, just before the no
incest stuff?"

    "So?"

    "So were you talking about my dick, or the way I was treating
Dana?"

    "Mostly, I was talking about your dick and how sexy you looked."

    "I thought so. And your head was mostly on sex, too, right?"

    "Yeah, Bro. You know how I am."

    "Uh huh. So stop and think about what Bev and the others want to
do. LIke she said, we already know were sexually compatible, or
whatever it's called. But that isn't how we got together at first.
Sure, we were honest about the sex probably happening eventually, but
we really did do the other stuff. We just didn't do it on dates. We
did it at school, long before we decided we wanted to fuck each
other."

    I sighed. "I guess that was the part I really made it a point to
remember, ya know? Marriage is all the time. You can't turn it on and
off like it was going to school, and the only time to get to know each
other is on a date. Mom and dad didn't tell us that, really. They were
talking about marriage, not dating, but if you're dating to find out
if you want to get married someday, it makes sense to treat dating the
same way you would your marriage."

    "So what are trying to tell me about my being lez?"

    "I know you didn't do it deliberately, Sis, but you never got to
know the guys unless you thought they looked good, or had a rep for
being good lovers, right? How much time did you take to get inside
their heads, before you latched on? Not very long, I bet."

    "How come you never tried to stop me, if you knew I was fucking up
like that?"

    "Come on, Sis. I *did* try. You wouldn't listen, that's all. Don't
you remember telling me that you weren't interested in getting serious
about marriage, because you needed to find yourself first, so you'd
know what you wanted before you got serious?"

    "That sucks, Bro, to find out I spent all those years fucking up
by the numbers."

    "Was it, really? Saying that is like saying you wish you hadn't
met Trisha. I've never heard you think that's anything but lifetime."

    "Yeah, but now I'm wondering how much of that is lifetime hormones
instead of lifetime head."

    "Only one way to find out, and you know what it is, right?"

    "Yeah. Drop the sex and see if it still works. Not going to be
easy to do."

    "Might be a way. Bev and the others know about you. What if you
and Trish come along to act as chaperones for us, while we do the same
for you two?"

    "I'll talk it over with her. We've been wondering how we're going
to hide after graduation. I know mom and dad probably won't think
you'd be doing any fucking with your sister along. Might even be
relieved to see you slow down a little and let me keep an eye on you.
Odd, that they expect us to fuck like rabbits, but not do anything
major when we're double dating. We haven't either. Weird, huh?"

    "Yeah. I don't know if it would be like that, now. It's sorta like
part of me was behind a door that just got unlocked, and being in a
big pile that includes you doesn't scare me like it used to. I think I
could keep from going all the way, but if you helped..."

    "And I want to keep helping. That's scary, after what just
happened, because I can see things getting so mixed up you don't
realize it's me, until it's too late."

    "You think you've turned your head around any?"

    "A little. I know I need to admit that you turn me on., but I'll
have to be careful about that or Trisha's going to be thinking I'd
leave her for a guy, someday. It's weird, Bro. I know she and I have a
connection other than the sex, but suddenly I don't know how strong it
is. I don't even know if I want it to be strong enough to survive what
happened with you, never mind the bit with Dana. I kinda think she'd
be able to deal with Dana, because Dana's a bitch."

    "Yeah. I figure I'll wait to see now this other stuff turns out,
before I worry about trying to tell anyone about me and Dana, or you."

    "Uh huh. Too much happening. Right now, let's not say anything.
and be careful about talking about it."

    "Yeah. Good plan."

    I sighed. "Guess we'd better see about picking this junk up. I'll
start on the other side, ok?"

    "Fine. Just put the stuff in the drawers and file stuff?"

    "That was my plan, yes."

    "Ok."

    Exploration 3
    ------

    "Bro? Got a couple minutes?"

    "Hang on, this drawer doesn't want to go back."

    She giggled. "Try it in mom's desk, not dad's."

    I looked more closely. "Duh! And great! Now I have to empty it and
swap it with the same one in her desk. Yeah. I need a break."

    I put the drawer down and settled on the couch. Dana must have
been waiting for the noise from the springs or something, because she
came in and settled with her head on my lap before Sis could get on
the couch.

    Sis had a manila envelope in her hand and she waved it at me after
she settled.

    "We've snooped everything in those drawers, over the years,
right?"

    "Yeah. So?"

    "How'd we miss this one?"

    "Let me see it... Yeah... That's the one that was in the same pile
of stuff as the Teledex. I looked at it real quick, and put it with
the other medical records."

    "Didn't really read any of it, did you?"

    "No reason to."

    "Figured that musta been why you didn't tell me about it."

    I looked at it. "Boring medical stuff we'd never understand,
right?"

    "It's medical stuff, Bro, but I understand enough of it, that it
isn't boring."

    "Yeah?"

    "Uh huh. Mom's twin sister died just before we were born, right?"

    "Car accident, wasn't it? That what this is?"

    "No. Something weirder. She was about a month pregnant, and they
saved the baby by transplanting it to a host mother, who also happened
to be about one month pregnant."

    "You're right, that's weird. How come they never told us we have a
cousin?"

    "You think mom and dad would want to admit he's the father?"

    "Umm... Maybe not right away, but we've been old enough to
understand that stuff happens, for a long time. Should have told us by
now, unless the baby died, then I can see them not worrying about it."

    "Uh huh. Well, like I said, it's some weird stuff in there. With
mom and her sister being twins like they were, they had the same DNA,
right?"

    "Yeah."

    "So if dad was the father, if someone did a DNA test, the results
wouldn't be able to tell if it was mom's, or her sister's, which means
genetically, it wouldn't show up as a cousin."

    "Yeah. Weird is right... You're kidding!."

    "Hi, cuz. According t what's in there, mom was the host mother to
a male baby, his birth was normal, and so was her female baby's. All
that 'fraternal twin' stuff is fabricated bullshit, but there's no way
to prove it--if you don't have the medical records."

    She pointed at the envelope I held. "Those medical records."

    "Uh... Sis? I think we'd better put this back where we found it,
and pretend like we never discovered it. Those drawers were so
cluttered, the stuff I found could have been buried and not
underneath."

    "You and I think alike on that much. Doesn't change the incest
thing, either, ya know."

    "Point, but I thought that was settled."

    "Only the sex and kids part. We're still best friends and take
care of each other, right?"

    "Yes. No brainer."

    "Same here."

    "Where you going with all this?"

    "Putting all this stuff back gave me a lot of time to think about
something besides our problems. You know how sometimes when you quit
thinking about a problem, you get an answer?"

    "Isn't always the best answer, but ok, I see what you're saying.
You think you might have a solution for all this?"

    "I'm not sure, Bro. All I can do is guarantee it is going to be
painful. Maybe tolerable, if we sell it as temporary. Who knows? Maybe
it will be. We have the rest of the school year and all summer before
we have to decide if we really want to do it, but we need to make some
preparations real soon to make it look good."

    "You're ducking, Sis."

    "I know. It scares me. Let's finish putting the den back together,
then, I promise, I'll tell you about it."

    I laughed. "I thought I was supposed to keep you focused... Sis.
We need to remember to not change that sort of stuff, now that we know
the truth."

    "Uh huh. I can't think of you as my cousin, anyway. 'Lover', yeah,
suddenly that's a possibility, but I know I gotta stay away from that
stuff so I don't screw things up any more than they are."

    "You got that right!"

    I was so comfortable, sitting there and petting Dana, that I
really didn't want to move yet, then it hit me.

    "Hey, Sis. Notice anything weird about what's going on?"

    "Not really. You sit on the couch and pet Dana all the time."

    "Uh huh... That's the weird part. She hasn't nosed me or
anything."

    She giggled. "Well, you did take care of her pretty good."

    "Yeah, maybe. But she's had hours to recover. I hate to say it,
but going to sleep in my lap doesn't seem normal just now."

    "In less than twenty four hours you've fucked her at least three
times and eaten her out a bunch more. If she's been having orgasms, I
can't blame her for being ready to quit for awhile."

    "Suppose you're right. Still seems weird to have her ignore me
like this, even though before, it's what I would have wanted.
Whatever. Maybe she's decided she's not that kinky, after all."

    I grinned evilly at my sister. "I guess we really only need to
worry if she doesn't sneak in tonight and lick you off, huh?"

    She blushed.

    I laughed at her, then sighed and shifted Dana off my lap. "I got
things to do."

    Sis got up after I did, and we finished putting everything away. I
don't know about her, but I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Dana
every so often to see what she was doing, which, after she got
comfortable again, seemed to be catching up on her sleep.

    Maybe she was saving her energy for later.

    Dana left the den with us, and after a stop to refill our glasses,
we settled in the living room.

    "Hey, Bro. Turn the TV on and set it to something mindless."

    "It's almost all mindless, and we've seen everything that isn't,
so many times it's boring. How about I turn on the news?"

    "That will work."

    So we spent a few minutes watching the talking heads flub their
lines on the teleprompters, while they tried to make global warming,
rape, and politicians sound relevant to the real world.

    It was a good way to laugh and relax, and we hoped we'd never take
that shit as seriously as our parents did, with their 'everything is
linked, so we must know all of it', dogma.

    Way we saw it, global warming. if it was true, was a done deal.
We'd adapt to it, or die. Simple, right?

    Rapes happened every day, and most of them didn't make the news.
Besides, there was a simple solution to that, too. When it happened to
someone we knew, the perp got beat to a pulp. What was the point in
letting the law handle it, when the perps had everything going for
them?

    Politicians. They lived in a totally different and fucked up
reality, so it was like one of those fantasy movies where they tried
to convince you dragons were real, and should be taken seriously.

    It was just like Dad's and Mom's rules for good sex. Bow and
scrape a few times, and can we go get laid now? They got the
recognition they craved, and we got left alone, mostly. Neither of us
could see any differences between parents and politicians when it can
to dealing with them, so when we could, we ignored them as pretty much
irrelevant when it came to understanding the reality we lived in.

    So we watched the news to get a few laughs, and unwind before we
got serious again.

    Dana helped distract us by coming in and flopping on her back
between us. Since she had her butt next to me and her legs spread
invitingly, I stuck some fingers in and started rubbing her off while
Sis petted her head and chest.

    Judging by the tail wagging and groans, Dana was enjoying herself.

    "You know, Bro, if you'd asked me to sit on the couch and help you
get Dana off, I would have thought you were nuts."

    I laughed. "Yeah. I would have wondered about your motives if
you'd suggested we do something like share the same girl, because I
know how easy it is to lose track of who owns the hands."

    She giggled. "What about the cunt? Do you lose track who that's
attached to?"

    "Nahh... Weird you should mention that. They all sorta feel the
same, but they're different, too. We tried that once. I got
blindfolded, and then they got crazy and tried to confuse me. I
guessed who it was every time. Had a harder time telling their mouths
apart."

    "You are seriously strange, Bro."

    "You keep saying that enough, and I'll start believing you. I'm
just me. Strange has nothing to do with it."

    "Right. You're the only guy in the school who can fuck any girl on
campus, and not have to worry about getting his head slammed into a
wall someday, by a jealous jock."

    "You got it backwards, Sis. I don't fuck any girl at random. If
they have a boyfriend, we all talk it over first, then, if they still
want to get me to fuck them, it happens."

    "That's even stranger."

    She sighed. "You ready to hear what I came up with?"

    "Uh huh."

    "We've always planned on taking college here, and then, if we
decide we want more, transfering, right?"

    "Yes."

    "What if we changed that? We're both good enough we could get
scholarships or grants to any school we applied for. I was thinking we
could apply to the same school, get accepted, then find a place off
campus, where we could live and have Dana with us. If we do it far
enough away, we won't have to worry about our past lovers, and our
parents showing up all the time. We'd have the excuse of our class
loads being so heavy, we need to cut back on the social stuff, if
anyone asks."

    "You'd leave Trisha? That isn't like you."

    "I know it isn't. When I think about it, I hurt and feel like
shit. But she's been a little clingy and I think if something doesn't
happen, she's going to get worse, and love is one thing, but clingy...
I don't want to be tied down with a kid my own age to take care of.
Hell, Bro, I don't want kids, ever. I gotta be able to get some
breathing space once in awhile. I'm cool when she needs her space,
but... I think she's going monogamous, and that scares me. I mean,
sure, we both are anyway, but I keep having nightmares about her
telling me I have to go permanently exclusive, with no freedom to
wander once in awhile."

    "Damn, Sis. That's seriously harsh. You sure it isn't you wanting
your freedom and not being ready to settle? Ever talked to her about
it?"

    "Lots. She shrugs it off and says we can deal with it if it
happens."

    "If? Not when?"

    "Yeah. You noticed, huh?"

    " 'If' isn't a part of any relationship I'm in. We use 'when', and
plan ahead."

    "So how'd you get blind sided?"

    "They decided to get serious before I was ready to. Thought I
didn't have to worry."

    I chuckled miserably. "I wasn't expecting ALL of them to get
together and change their minds at the same time. That wasn't a
'when', it was an 'impossible'.

    "Yet you encourage them to talk to each other before there are
problems, right?"

    "Yes. But this marriage stuff AND sharing later, just doesn't make
sense."

    "Sure, it does. 'Don't let a piece of paper fuck up a good thing.'
Swapping and all that, except you're doing it already, when you get
married, instead of you and your wife deciding to do it later. No
brainer, Bro."

    "Oh. Duh."

    "You haven't asked me why I want to take Dana with us."

    "I know *why*. I'm wondering how to justify going to the same
school without setting off alarms for things like incest and gettnig
away from our parents so we can go crazy. Justifying taking Dana along
is also part of that worrying..."

    "What weird thoughts are you having?"

    "Dana's easy, right? We just say we're taking her so our parents
can get lives of their own? Good, caring kids and all that?

    "She's been more your dog than anyone else's, anyway. Combine the
two and do that bit about it wouldn't be the same without her and it
will help you relax while you're studying... Should work, if you even
need to do it after we do the caring kids bit."

    "Yeah. And living off campus will help, too. So here's my idea. In
spite of all the different directions your head seems to be going
right now, I think Trisha and you are something serious."

    "You do?!"

    "Yeah. So why fuck it up? If we get a place, I bet our parents
would be willing to let us hire a housekeeper to help us keep it clean
while we focus on school. No reason it coulnd't be Trisha or one of my
girlfriends, right?

    "Maybe. We might be able to pay for that on our own if we can keep
doing tutoring on the side. I'll talk to her about it, and find out
what she thinks. You going to talk to any of yours?"

    "Yeah. If I leave the area without telling them until just before
it happens, I'll be in big trouble. They'll want to help me pick a
school, anyway."

    Then I groaned. "Did Bev tell you who's involved?"

    "Her, Darlene, Jane... And Dawn."

    "Princess Rising Sun?? Oh, shit! She wouldn't be involved unless
her father knows about it, and approves. That means the Shaman and the
tribal council know she's serious about me."

    "Yep. Look on the bright side. If you pick her, you won't be stuck
with a traditional ceremony."

    "Gee, thanks. Aren't you forgetting all the resentment and 'white
skin' stuff from the disappointed braves who have been competing for
her? Chief's daughters aren't just allowed to marry anyone they want,
even these days. Something weird is going on if she's one of the
four."

    "Since I've spent as much time tutoring on the reservation as you
have, Bro, I had that figured out. Bev tried to make the whole 'trial
compatibility thing' sound reasonable, and it would be, if it weren't
for Dawn being involved. I didn't waste my time telling her that. It
was such a good story, I decided to let her try it on you while I
watched. Still would, if I hadn't wound up in the middle of it."

    I glared at her, then sighed and tried to relax. "You know, I'd
like to run and hide from it all until they get tired of wiating and
drop it."

    "Uh huh. Your string might drop it, eventually."

    "Unlikely, with Bev involved. I thought she was the one who
probably started it, but with Dawn involved, I'm thinking it was Dawn
or the council taking advantage of an existing situation. She plays
politics on a level I know I can't compete at, and the Council is even
better at it.

    "I might as well just pick Dawn and find out what everyone has
planned for me, since they've gone to all this trouble to set me up so
I *can't* pick anyone else."

    Sis thought about it, then nodded. "Yeah. I was having so much fun
watching you squirm, I didn't think about what it meant, that Dawn was
one of the four. That changes all of it, and I'll admit, just this
once, if you promise not to tell anyone, that I am in way, way over my
head, and sinking fast. No, change that. I'm sunk to the bottom, and
can't find the ladder to get out."

    "You've got company, Sis. Looks like we get to drown together."

    "Yep. I suppose..."

    The doorbell rang and Dana launched to go see who it was.

    We looked at each other and I shrugged. "We seem to be getting a
lot of unannouced company, today. I wonder if it's my problems, or
yours, at the door this time?"

    "We might as well find out. Dana isn't barking, so whoever it is,
they know enough to talk to her and let her know who it is."

    "That's no help."

    "Yes, it is, Bro. It means it isn't something serious, like the
Tribal Council or the Shaman, or worse yet, Dawn's senior mother.
They'd want to include our parents, and Dawn knows they're gone for
the weekend, since she's been talking to Bev."

    The bell rang again and I sighed. "Let's go find out who it is,
since they aren't going away."

    I checked through the viewer and grimaced. "Sis, it's bad."

    "Oh?"

    "Uh huh. I see my four problems, plus Trisha."

    "Great. Just... Great."

    She opened the door. "Come on in. If you want something, you know
the rules."

    Dawn giggled. "Get it ourselves?"

    "Yeah. Rick and I are still tired from a busy day, too."

    Bev grimaced. "All that cleaning stuff?"

    "Yes. The den took both of us and we finished just a little while
ago."

    "Ok."

    They came in, got pawed by Dana if they weren't hugging one of us,
then we all went to the living room and settled, into an awkward
silence after I turned the TV off.

    I glanced at my sister and she shook her head, leaving it to me,
for once.

    Right. I'll get you for that, Sis. Count on it.

    Nobody said anything while that silent conversation was going on,
so I looked at each of them and sighed. "I could bitch about thinking
that two weeks of free time started immediately, but there's no point,
is there Princess Rising Sun? Let's save some time, since you must
have set this up so I'd eventually decide on you, right?"

    She blushed and nodded. Before she could say anything , the
doorbelll went off again.

    She beamed at me. "That must be the pizzas and stuff we ordered
for the party."

    "Party? Yeah. If you say so. Be right back, since nobody else has
moved."

    My mind was still mostly on the living room stuff when I opened
the door to get the goodies.

    "YAHHH!!"

    Was that me who screamed?"

    Yes.

    I closed my eyes and shook my head to clear it, then cautiously
opened my eyes again.

    Yep. I really had seen a bunch of Native Americans in ceremonial
regalia, standng on my porch. The one in front was holding a stack of
pizza boxes, and grinning at me while he waited for me to finish
reacting.

    "Hello, Eagle Claw. Princess Rising Sun is here already."

    "Good. How was our timing?"

    I was already too familiar with his sense of humor, so I did the
only thing that made sense.

    I smiled wryly. "Magnificent, as usual. Come on in, all of you. My
sister and I weren't expecting you this soon, because we thought you'd
want to talk to my parents, first. I do have a question, if one is
permitted."

    "They are. Ask."

    "Once I knew Rising Sun was involved, I knew the Coucil and Shaman
would be, too. That's a given when you want to marry off a Princess,
right?"

    "Does that mean you wish to marry her, by our customs?"

    "Do I have a choice?"

    "Not if you wish to maintain the face you've earned."

    "I hadn't thought of that. I can't say I genuinely love her yet,
except in the same way I love all four of the girls who are here. I'll
marry her, since it's what she wants, and the others are going along
with her. I'd just told her I'd pick her, since I'd just figured out
she'd set everything up so I'd choose her."

    "That is far more than any of us expected. For myself, and the
tribe, I thank you from the soles of my moccasins to the tip of the
longest hair on my head. You haven't asked your question."

    "Pizzas, for such a serious matter?"

    "A compromise. There is much that needs to be discussed. The
traditional methods of lubricating talk also remove reason, something
that can be an advantage when you are used to their effects, and the
others aren't."

    He nodded his head slightly. "One loses much face when one treats
a future son in law in such a manner."

    I sighed. "I'm a future son in law, but I am also a white skin,
Father-to-be. I know your ways enough to know that you would lose no
face in performing a test to seek my suitability."

    "Therein lies the problem, son-in-law. Even a Chief knows that
when his daughter speaks, he must listen, and move the mountain out of
her way, especially when all of the squaws who truly run our lives are
in agreement.

    "There will be no testing, because you have been declared
acceptable by those who matter. Besides, what better way to ease am
awkward situation than by everyone getting their hands and faces messy
while they talk?"

    I sighed. "Ok. So the pizzas are a substitute for the Peace Pipe?"

    "Exactly."

    "Ok. Come on in the rest of the way, make yourselves at home, and
you can try to tell me this will all make perfect sense tomorrow. Oh.
House rules are simple. You're here, so if you want to explore, only
my parent's bedroom and bathroom are off limits. Everything else,
including the yard, treat them with respect, as if it were your own,
including the kitchen, which you can raid for snacks, if you want."

    "Generous."

    "Practical. Could we stop you?"

    "No. It shames me to admit some of my people would take unfair
advantage of your generousity."

    "They aren't here, Eagle Claw. Would they have bothered to come
this far for a white skin, or would they have demanded I come to
them?"

    "There might have been a raiding party."

    I laughed, because I could see the laugh lines, then I sobered.
"I'm sorry, Eagle Claw, but I don't think there would be. Too many of
your braves live in the past, instead of adapting and seeking new
glories."

    He winced, then glanced at his companions, who nodded their heads.

    He wasn't smiling, and the laugh lines were gone from his face
when he turned back to me. "We agree, and that is part of what we wish
to discuss with all of you."

    I got the hint. "Follow me."

    The girls had everything cleared away, and an extra table and
chairs set up. Dawn took over and acted as hostess, which made sense,
since as far as tribal law was concerned, we were married as soon as I
had given my word, and it was her duty to handle the serving of the
food.

    We all ate in silence for a few minutes, then Eagle Claw leaned
back and belched.

    "To business, unfortunately. First, of course, is an apology for
forcing a natural thing to happen before its time."

    Dawn spoke tartly. "Don't be silly, father. Rick loves me as a
brave would, and he knows enough to understand it was for the good of
the tribe, and a Chief shouldn't apologise for his actions and
decisions."

    "Your mothers have trained you well."

    "Someone has to keep an eye on you when they can't, and I am the
one most suited, when we are off the reservation."

    He looked at me and spread his hands. "What can any man do when
confronted by such reasonableness?"

    I smiled. "What else? Listen, and heed it."

    "True, true... Richard. You and your sister Francine have earned
much face, by spending so much time with our children, and any others
who are willing to look beyond the past. To a lesser degree, the
others here have earned face with our people.

    "The tribe has a problem, and it is focused on Princess Rising
Sun."

    I looked at Sis and both of us frowned. She spoke softly. "We
haven't heard a thing about that sort of a problem."

    "It hasn't happened, yet."

    "Oh."

    "Just so. Rising Sun wishes to continue her education, not only
for herself, but as a Princess leading her people. The Council desires
this, but we cannot let her do so unless she is married in the eyes of
the people, and not to a white skin."

    I sat upright. "Adoption into the tribe?! Me?"

    "Adoption, yes. Not just you, Richard. All of you, as a new clan.
As a member of the tribe, you would have the option of having many
wives, not one, as your foolish laws proclaim is the only right way."

    He beamed at my sister. "What squaws do in the privacy of the
teepee, and the brave does not see, is none of his business. There is
no shame in a natural act, done willingly by the people who perform
it."

    I gulped, then tried to do some thinking. "Umm... There has to be
more. You offer much, but is the final price one we would be willing
to pay?"

    "Does a man ask the cost, when his Totem Spirit chooses to speak
to him, and he answers?"

    "I have no..."

    I couldn't stop my stare at Dana when I made the connection.
"Dana? She's my Totem Spirit?"

    "Just so, as she also proclaimed herself to Rising Sun, and your
other companions. It took many council meetings and journeys by the
Shaman before the meaning of all was made clear enough we could act in
the way the Great Spirit wished us to. Once that decision was known,
there were many other problems that were solvable in ways that were
honorable."

    Honorable.

    Sis beat me to it. "I don't know the proper form of address, Eagle
Claw, but there is a matter of honor, and newly discovered knowledge
that Rick and I must share, without letting our parents and anyone
outside this room, know that we know about it."

    "Speak, and none will share what we learn, without your
permission."

    "Rick and I aren't brother and sister. We're cousins, in a way
that is unusual enough that if we hadn't seen the medical records, we
couldn't prove it."

    "Your people have paternity tests. Surely that would prove this
truth."

    "Not this time. Mother had a twin sister.  Her twin was pregnant
with a boy, when she died in a car accident. The baby was saved, and
my mother, who was also pregnant, became the host mother who carried
the baby to term. That baby was Richard, and he has the same father I
do. Because my mother and her sister were identical twins, their DNA
was identical. The tests would show that we are brother and sister,
even though we have different mothers."

    "You are certain of this?"

    "If the medical records we accidentally discovered, tell the
truth, yes."

    He thought about it for awhile, then sighed. "The Dog Spirit is
usually straight forward. This is worthy of the Coyote, but it does
not have the feel of one of his plots. With your permission, we will
inform the Shaman and await his judgment after he discovers what the
spirits are willing to reveal."

    Sis nodded. "Of course you can share this with him. Your wives,
too, since it affects the whole tribe, and the future of our clan."

    "You know our ways well, Francine. It is a wise teacher who learns
more from her students, than they learn from her. You will do well,
when the time comes to take your proper place in the tribe, next to
Richard and Rising Sun, as ones who encorage our children to seek a
future that remembers our past, but does not cling to it too much, as
too many of my people do now."

    Jane cleared her throat to get everone's attention. "This sounds
real nice for Francine and Rick, and the tribe. What about the rest of
us? Where do we fit in, now that we know what's really going on?"

    Eagle Claw spread his hands and shrugged. "Wherever you want to
fit in. You can choose to be squaws, and do nothing, or you can get
involved with the rest of the tribe. But what we really desire, is
that whatever it is you decide to do, you also lead by example.

    "Help us find a future, one that will let us grow and create new,
glorious memories, so we will be remembered as ancestors with much
face, instead of 'The White Man's Burden', and scorned because we did
nothing to save our people."

    She sighed. "I think it was 'White Man's Burden' that did it,
Eagle Claw. You've never been that, to me, or anyone else who really
knows you, I think. If you have been a burden, it has been the burden
a parent takes on, while she waits for her children to gain the
knowledge and wisdom to go out and be successful in the greater world
they are unaware of."

    She finished simply. "Tell me my future, My Chief."

    There was a long silence while everyone in the room digested her
words, then Eagle Claw looked at the rest of the council and laughed
gently. "Perhaps, brothers, there is more wisdom to the white skin
ways than even we have been willing to accept, since it can produce
such wisdom in one so young."

    I noticed a few of them grimaced, but they all eventually nodded.

    He refocused on us. "Darlene?"

    "I wasn't thinking about college, or furthering my education.
Being with Rick is all that matters right now, Anything else was
impossible, so the only thing I planned for was finding a job and
surviving, somehow, if I couldn't find a way to include him in my
life."

    She got up and moved until she was standing behind me, then she
put her hands on my shoulders and squeezed gently. "In a world of
ambition, my dream has always been to be an old fashioned wife, who
stays at home and does the stuff all wives do, which is do the best
she can to help her man be a man."

    He smiled. "Does being a good wife include children?"

    "Of course."

    "No decision is permanent, and people do change. Stay aware you
will have many options not available to most people."

    "Thank you."

    "You're welcome."

    He turned slightly so he could study Beverly, who lifted her chin
and remained silent, waiting him out.

    He smiled a little oddly before he nodded to let her know she'd
won whatever it was they had been doing to each other. "Beverly. You
came to my wives, speaking vague thoughts of our ways offering a
solution to a problem you foresaw. Are you offended that Rising Sun
has used your desires for the good of the tribe? How do you feel about
the decisions being made? You have been unusually quiet, for one known
to have a penetrating voice that she is willing to use."

    "Who is it, My Chief, who has often spoken the words 'When desires
are in agreement with duty, one knows they have found their place in
the world'?"

    She smiled serenely. "I have found my place in the world, and I
have spoken directly with my Totem Spirit. It matters not, how I got
here.

    "I am here, and that is all that matters. Speak, My Chief, and I
will consider your words with the care they deserve."

    He and the rest of the council roared with laughter, while all I
wanted to do was find a place to hide, and when I looked around, even
Dawn was looking worried.

    Eventually he sobered and grabbed another piece of pizza. "My own
words. You have spent far too much time closeted with my senior wife.
That is a good thing, because someone must have the strength to rein
in Rising Sun, when she unknowingly falls prey to the trap Coyote has
waiting for those who grasp leadership too strongly."

    Bev's head came down and she stared at Dawn. "Did you know about
this part?

    Dawn smiled. "There is a custom that everyone who leads must have
a council to advise them. It is a good custom. Even your people follow
it, in an imperfect way."

    "Imperfect?"

    "The one who leads should never pick their council members."

    "I hope I understand that someday. Go back to this lead thing.
We're too young for that sort of stuff, aren't we?"

    Dawn turned slightly. "Father?"

    He nodded slightly before he spoke quietly. "Chiefs lead in the
present. Those who teach, cannot help but lead, in the future, by
their influence on the minds of those who will lead when the future
becomes the present."

    We were all silent while we thought about his words, then all of
the girls focused on me, including Dawn.

    I squirmed a bit, then sighed. "We all see it, don't we?"

    They all nodded, so I focused on Eagle Claw. "I was not a believer
in the Great Spirit, and the lesser Spirits he works through."

    "Now?"

    "I don't want to. But, there's an inevitability to all this that
makes it hard to deny that *something* has been guiding us. I can
promise an open mind, more open than it has been. That's more than I
ever gave to my parents' belief system."

    He smiled. "We are all shaped and controled by the world we live
in. Our own acceptance of the Spirits has been changed by the time we
have been living surrounded by your people.

    "Excuse me. Former people. You don't have to suddenly start
calling them white skins, just continue to be yourselves. That is what
earned you face, and there is no reason to change who you are, just
because you will sometimes have to wear makeup and clothing
inappropriate to the weather conditions."

    I sighed, since it was obvious that I was expected to be in
charge, and speak for all of us.

    "You've told us part of your plans. What happens next, and in the
future?"

    He took a bite of pizza, ate it, then smiled. "Whoever wants to go
to college along with you and Rising Sun, will get all their expenses
paid, of course. Teaching credientials for Rising Sun, you, and
Francine. Also for anyone else who wants them. After that, you may
study in any field you wish."

    I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Trisha, and he noticed.
"Trisha? Is there something you wish to share with us?"

    "Yes. I know Bev is probably going to study Native American
history, and Rick and Francine are going to go for something pratical,
like business management and some sort of self awareness stuff. It
makes sense that Dawn is going to go for teaching credentials and
political science.

    "I'm not the brightest person here, or the richest, and my parents
can't afford to pay my way, so I was going to work and take some night
classes."

    He nodded. "They are?"

    "You're serious about anything?"

    His face hardened slightly, then he relaxed and smiled again. "You
don't know our ways as well as the others do, of course. Please
forgive my momentary anger, that you'd question the word of the
council, once it is given. That's a good thing, and we wish more would
do so.

    "Anything, for as long as you want to study it, and if you change
your mind, that will be ok. Perhaps, that would be a good thing, that
our people relearn that their lives do not have to be rigidly
structured, and while we no longer wander the larger world in these
bodies, our minds are still free to wander where they will."

    "All that lead by example stuff? Forget it. If I had my choice,
I'd never stop being a student, instead."

    "Is that your desire? To remain a student all your life?"

    She blushed and looked at Sis. "As long as I can be with Francine,
that's what I want to do."

    He reached for her hand and took it gently. "So be it. Someone has
to be the first of a new generation of Scouts, and every Scout needs a
home to return to, to remind themselves of the reasons they do what
they do.

    "I have spoken."

    Trisha blushed, then looked at Bev. "Bev? I think you'd better
tell me about that duty and desire stuff. I think I just got snowed
into doing what I wanted to do all along, and it feels pretty good in
spite me wanting to resent what just hapened."

    Bev nodded. "Put it this way: Duty is like gravity. It's always
there, no escape from it. Right?"

    "Yes."

    "Desire is a bumblebee, doing the impossible and flying around to
polinate flowers."

    "Huh? That's weird. I don't see the connection."

    "Without the air that gravity has gathered and held on to, the
bumblebee couldn't do the impossible.

    "Just because we don't see the connections, it doesn't mean they
aren't there. It's a way of seeing the world. Spirits are a way of
saying that even though I can't see the connections, they are there,
and there are things beyond my control that cause me to do some of the
things I do."

    "Now I'm even more confused. I feel like I'm in one of those Kung
Fu movies."

    Bev giggled. "And I'm new at this stuff, too. I feel it, but
explaining it to a scientist isn't easy, you know."

    "I bet. Anything else?"

    "It's crude, and probably partly wrong, but a person's Totem
Spirit is sort of an idealised image of what their basic nature is.
Your ethos, that sort of stuff, but it's also combined with the events
in your life that can help you become aware of the connections you
aren't normally aware of.

    "The bumblebee knows about gravity, and it knows it can fly. What
else could it do if it had a conscious awareness of air and its
properties? Would it dream of flying to the moon and polinating the
bright flower? Whatever it might think, it would think of more
possibilities than it does without knowing about air."

    "Hey. Wait. I'm the bumblebee, aren't I?"

    "Yes."

    "And gravity is like... My duty to help the tribe survive,
somehow?"

    "Yes."

    "So being a student and just studying anything is like going
randomly from flower to flower, and If I like it enough, other
bumblebees might decide that since I like it, they might, too? And the
other bumblebees are the other members of the tribe? And once they see
the flower, since they are already there, they might check out flowers
I haven't, and find something even better for them, and the tribe?"

    "Yes."

    "Oh. Wow! Now I see it! Duty and desire working together..."

    She went into a trance of some sort and when she came out of it
she blushed.
    "Thanks, Bev. I thought you were spouting some sort of mystic
stuff that would take me years to figure out, if ever. That was weird,
but it worked. I don't feel guilty and like I couldn't do anything to
help people. You guys like teaching and all that, but I just can't do
it that way. This way... Yeah, being a leader that isn't really a
leader, I can handle that."

    Eagle Claw laughed at her sudden enthusiasm. "The bumblebee is
traditionally one of the Totems linked to friviolity and
indecisiveness. The Shaman will be consulted, of course, and a way
will be found for you to be able to speak of your Totem, and be taken
seriously."

    I spoke up. "I thought Totems were animals or birds, all the
time."

    He nodded. "That is true, and exceptions are rare, which
emphasizes their importance to the person they have chosen. When the
signs are this obvious, there is no choice. A way will be found to
allow Trisha to speak of her Totem openly, and be treated with
dignity, not derision."

    "Thanks. Since we're talking about Totems, this seems like a good
time to ask what our clan Totem will be."

    "There is already a Dog Clan, and normally you would be adopted
into it. But that would put you under the control of their clan
elders, and we do not want that to happen. You must be allowed to make
your own decisions, without interference."

    "Who chooses our Totem, then?"

    "You get the chance to decide. If you haven't decided by the time
of the ceremony, The council will consult with the Shaman and name one
for you."

    "Uhh... Can it be a variation? Sort of like you're Eagle Claw and
someone else is Eagle Foot?"

    "Perhaps. Too similar and you would be considered part of the Dog
Clan."

    "Oh. Ok. We're all agreed that Dana is our personal Totem, right?"

    I got a chorus of answers that all said the same thing, 'Yes!'

    "Ok, This is going to sound crazy, I know, but I just have to say
it and maybe someone will come up with something that sounds better.

    "Could we call ourselves 'The Flagging Bitch Clan' and our Totem
would be a version of Dana flagging and looking over her shoulder
expectantly?"

    I was sure I heard several council members choke off laughter, but
when I looked, they were all properly sober.

    The girls didn't try to hide their blushes and giggles.

    I waited awhile, then shrugged. "I warned you it was a crazy
idea."

    Eagle Claw sighed. "It is also an excellent one. We will consult
with The Shaman to find out if those are the qualities that should be
associated with your clan."

    The laugh lines finally reappeared. "There are qualities other
than the obvious ones. Clarity of commincation across boundaries, is
one of them. That action is not an unusual one for flagging bitches,
and the histories may tell us more. The search will provide a link
between the new and the old, even if we do not use the name.

    "If no one objects too strongly, that will be your Clan name."

    He stood and stretched. "And now that the important business is
taken care of, we will leave you to think and plan, as much as may be
possible, for a future that is always unknowable in some way.

    "No need to escort us, Richard. It will not be considered rude for
you to stay seated long enough to recover from the many surprises that
have happened this evening."

    "Thanks, Eagle Claw. Will you be contacting our parents later?"

    "In due time, yes. Most likely, it will be the women who deal with
those details."

    "Ahh... I hate to ask this, but... How will they be dressed?"

    He laughed. "As they choose."

    "Oh, Right. I'm being stupid again. Thanks."

    I hated to do it, but I knew what had to happen. "Rising Sun. Our
guests are your responsibility. See to their needs."

    She stood and bobbed her head slightly while she smiled. "Of
course."

    A few minutes later we heard the front door close, and shortly
after that Dawn reappeared to stand and study all of us before she let
out a joyous whoop that woke Dana up and sent her scrambling to
investigate things.

    Dawn flopped into the place Dana had vacated, and hugged me
tightly.

    "It worked! We got everything we wanted, and stuff I never would
have dreamed for. Now you don't have to decide, right?"

    I couldn't stop myself from saying the first thing that came to my
mind. "We? I don't remember being asked what I wanted."

    She blanched. "But..."

    I sighed and hugged her. "You thought further ahead than I did. Of
course I didn't want what all of us share, to end. I couldn't think of
a way to keep it going, when I bothered to think about it, which
wasn't very often. I should have asked you when I first thought about
it."

    I kissed her, then looked around. "I should have asked all of you,
instead of hiding from it. I'm sorry. I'll try to remember I should
trust you like I do Sis, which is totally. Won't be easy at first."

    She ducked her head and grabbed my hands, then worked them
nervously in hers. "Speaking of trust, there's something we need to
tell you, Francine and Trisha."

    "We?"

    "Yes. All four of us."

    "Sounds serious."

    "It... Is."

    "You're shaking. Scared?"

    "Uh huh. It's about us... And Dana."

    "Dana?... Oh. Umm... Yeah. Right. This something about your Totem
Spirit speaking to you?"

    "Uh huh. Like she did to you, last night. But for us, it's been...
A year."

    I gulped, then looked at Sis, who was pretty white faced, before I
refocused on Dawn. "Umm... Dawn? I can't deny it, because it was
pretty obvious your dad and the council knew, too. I didn't really
think about it until now, that someone had to see it happen, somehow."

    Trisha interrupted us. "What are you two talking about? What's
this stuff about having your Totem Spirit talk to you?"

    I sighed. "Sis?"

    She winced. "Yeah. I hear you, Bro. Guess that stress test is
gonna happen sooner than we thought it would, right?"

    "Yeah."

    "Ok." She ducked her head for a little bit, then sighed again and
brought it up so she could look directly at Trisha. "What those guys
are being weird about, is that last night Bro, here, came home with a
bad case of blue balls, and wound up fucking Dana, then spending most
of the night making love with her. Dawn just admitted she and the
others have been doing it for a year, with Dana."

    Trisha gasped, but before she could say anything, Sis touched me
and giggled a little tiredly. "And *that* explains why Dana took care
of me after you jerked off, with Dana's help, to show me what you were
talking about, doesn't it?"

    There were five gasps, but Trisha got there first, barely. "You
let Dana... Do whatever it was she did to you, so you?..."

    She shook her head in denial. "I can't just say it. That's... No."

    Sis sighed. "Dana got pushy, and when her tongue hit my clit and
she started working it like she knew exactly what she wanted to do...
You know how I am when that happens. Umm... Like Bro here tried to
explain it to me, this morning, she's got a nose and a damn long
tongue, that can reach all those hard to reach places that we have
trouble getting to."

    "That's... What about us, Fran?"

    Sis looked at me, and I knew she was begging me to take over, and
make it all right, somehow.

    I looked at Dawn, then the others, who were all watching me, and
some of them looked scared, but hopeful, when our eyes met.

    I sighed and hugged Dawn a little. "Hey, Trish. First, Dana pushed
things and it all just happened. Sis was floating from being with you,
then Dana did her thing, and when it was over, I had to just about
carry her to bed, because she had multiples and nearly passed out
while she was sitting in the kitchen. It happened again, later, and
Sis didn't have the energy to stop Dana, and that time, she really did
pass out.

    "Nobody is going to ask you or make you do anything you don't want
to do, ok?"

    She barely nodded, so I went on, this time to everyone. "You know,
I was already pissed after Bev cut me off after we'd planned on
fucking each other for so long. Didn't make sense, because she ain't a
virgin. After Sis woke me up and I told her what had happened, then
Dana started licking her off... Sis made me pull Dana off her pretty
quick, too, but it was too late, and Sis knew where my head was at by
then, because Dana's... Good.

    "Anyway, there's a lot more, and part of it was me going one on
one with everyone to see if I could pick just one, and when I heard
about that, I didn't want to have anything to do with *any* of them,
so Sis and I finally came up with a possible solution to *my*
problem."

    "What's that have to do with me and Fran?"

    "Lots, Trish. It has everything to do with you. We'd just about
decided to get a couple of scholarships or grants to go to some school
a long way away, live off campus so we could have Dana, and somehow
find a way to get the money to pay *you* to be our housekeeper, so you
and Sis could be together. She's that serious about you, even
though..."

    I glanced over and got a nod. "She's not quite ready to settle
down and be monogamous, with you or anyone else. She might go that way
eventually, but she wants to know she has her freedom, too, just like
she gives you. To tell the truth, she hasn't said anything about if
that stuff with Dana was a one time thing, or if she wants to keep
doing it."

    "That's not quite all of it, Bro. I talked about helping you by
maybe giving Dana some finger action to keep her happy. As for the
other stuff..."

    She shook her head slightly. "I don't know. I want to, and I don't
want to, ya know?"

    "Yeah, I do know."

    I turned back to Trisha. "Anyway, no matter what happens between
you and Sis, the deal you made will still be good. Once Eagle Claw
gives his word, it's a done deal unless you back out. He'll understand
if you decide you can't be in a relationship with Francine, and as far
as we're concerned, you'll always be a member of the clan, no matter
what you do, even if you decide to walk away and never live with us.
*That's* how serious about you, my sister is, even though all this
other crap has gone down."

    Trisha finally sighed and held out her hand to Sis. "Fran? You
haven't said anything, but I know I've been real clingy lately. I'm
scared, you know? For me, us, all that stuff. I couldn't see a future
of any kind, and suddenly, I have one, but now... I'm still scared for
us, ok? Can we go somewhere private, without anyone else there, not
even Dana, and see if we can still be... Us?"

    Darlene giggled. "Take one of the extra pizzas and some of the
drinks with you. After all, they're an official substitute for a peace
pipe. Might help."

    I groaned. "Oh, great. I forgot about how sounds carry from the
front door to the living room."

    Trisha and Sis looked at each other a long time, then both of them
started to giggle. It didn't take long before they'd both stood up and
met in the middle of the living room to hug each other and start
crying.

    Sis spoke gently. "You pick the pizza, I'll grab the drinks, ok?
Let's go to my room, and I'll make sure nobody can bother us."

    They grabbed what they wanted, and we were all silent while we
watched them leave.

    Exploration 4
    ---------

    After we heard the door latch, Darlene sighed. "Rick? Everybody?
We *need* Trisha."

    Dawn turned slightly. "Need?"

    "Yeah. I said I want to be a wife and mother, and I do. That
doesn't mean I want to be the senior wife."

    "You wouldn't be. I am."

    "You don't get it, do you?"

    "Obviously."

    "It's like this. You will be teaching and focused on the tribe's
future, right?"

    "Of course."

    "Fran's going to be doing most of the teaching, along with Rick
and Bev, probably. Bev's kind of a historian type, so I sort of expect
her to be focused more on the history of the tribe, and mixing the new
stuff in without losing all that heritage, right, Bev?"

    Bev thought about it, then nodded. "Yes. You're right. I hadn't
really thought it through, but someone has to be able to look at the
new stuff and try and anticipate how it will affect the way they see
their heritage, or how the way they think of themselves will affect
how willing they are to learn new things."

    "Uh huh. It's no secret I'm a mother type. I like kids and raising
them. If I get involved outside home, it will be doing what I do now,
which is work in day care for the youngest."

    Jane laughed. "What role do you see me playing?"

    Darlene giggled. "Funny you should ask me. Diplomat, just like you
did a little while ago. Someone has to get between the rest of us, and
the adults of the tribe, a lot of who will be pretty hostile, no
matter how hopeful Eagle Claw is. Isn't that what you do already?"

    "Yeah. Bev spends time with Eagle Claw's wives, but I always feel
more comfortable with everyone else. I don't mind getting the parents
out of the way while Fran and Rick are tutoring their kids. But, that
doesn't explain why we need Trisha. Seems to me the five of us got it
covered, right?"

    "We don't."

    "Huh? What's missing?"

    Darlene ignored Jane and studied Dawn a long time, then she sighed
again. "Look. Don't take this wrong or anything, but none of us are
really going to be 'right' as the senior wife. Sure, Dawn is 'First
Wife', and all that, but I think Bev will back me up when I say the
senior wife is the one who always sees the bigger picture, and the
clan's place in it. She does all the planning and anticipation. Sure,
she consults, but ultimately, she's the one who makes the final
decisions. With her collection of 'useless knowledge' and the way she
learns about everything, Trisha is the only one of us who will be able
to step back and see it all."

    I felt Dawn shift slightly, and I touched her arm to get her
attention. "Hold it. I know Trisha can't be the senior wife, right?"

    "Exactly. It will have to be me."

    "I thought so. And Trish is afraid of any sort of responsibility
right now. What if we consult with her, as a sort of... Planning
advisor. You and I, mostly, and sometimes Fran and Bev, are going to
be the ones who have to be up front about any of our decisions. But,
how we reach them is our business, right?"

    Dawn thought about it, then nodded slowly before she focused on
Bev.
    "This is embarrassing. You know more of my heritage than I do. Is
there a solution that will let me consult with her, and give me an
excuse to give her suggestions more weight than I give to the rest of
your suggestions?"

    "Maybe. Depends on if we can convince Trisha to do something she
might see as outside her focus... No, it wouldn't be, would it?"

    "Oh?"

    "If she were to become a student or apprentice to the Medicine
Women, or the Shaman, it would be natural for us to give more weight
to her opinions."

    "You're right. It would also give her words more weight when she
talks to others... Of course! People are going to be talking to her a
lot anyway, when they ask her about what they should study. Make her a
career counselor. We don't have to tell her that, but it's what she'll
be doing no matter what we call it."

    I picked it up. "I think that's what your father had in mind when
he made her a Scout, wasn't it? Doesn't the survival or the tribe
sometimes depend on the knowledge Scouts have, and their judgment?"

    Dawn stiffened. "Oohhh... I'll get him for that!"

    Then she relaxed and giggled. "I know just the way, too. I'm going
to introduce Trisha to mom, and the Shaman, then get out of the way.
By the time they get done with her, she's not going to have any
problems when she decides to speak up!"

    I chortled. "Before that happens, Bev can go to work on her.
Right, Bev?"

    Bev laughed. "Got it. I already know which buttons to push, too,
if Fran doesn't get there first."

    "What's Sis have to do with it?"

    "If we assume Trisha gets over her disgust about us doing stuff
with Dana, and stays with us, she's going to have to learn all the
stuff we've picked up over the years. Best way to do that will be by a
cram course, which means 'one-on-one' with the most important people
in the tribe, right?"

    Dawn sobered. "It can't be done obviously, can it?"

    Bev laughed. "If Fran sells her on the idea, Trisha will want to
do it that way. She's not stupid or slow once she decides she wants to
know something. Didn't your dad pretty much give her permission to
question everything?"

    "You're right, he did. Indirectly, we have the same duty. And
that..."

    She shivered. "Hold me, Rick!"

    I wrapped her in a hug. "What's wrong?"

    "He made us, and specifically Trisha, official advisors to
him--and the Tribal Council. Trisha won't have to go looking for
anyone, they'll be coming to her and the rest of us with their
problems, as soon as all of you are adopted into the tribe."

    Bev happened to be getting a drink, and she choked and started
coughing. Jane slapped her on her back, and once she recovered she
looked horrified. "Us? That kind of... Authority?"

    Dawn nodded. "Already have a lot of it as tutors, when we answer
questions about career choices. Dad questions me a lot about 'white
skin ways', so he and the council can spend time discussing them. I
think he expects us to become another 'teaching clan' and if that
happens..."

    She shook her head a bit. "I hope dad and the council know what
they're doing. If it isn't handled right, the usual hostility is going
to be petty compared to what some folks will do at that point."

    Bev thought about it, then nodded, really sighed, and came over to
sit on my other side before she looked at Darlene after she leaned
against me. "I started all this and guess what? I agree that we need
Trisha, but unless any of you can give Trish a personality transplant,
she can't be anything more than an advisor. Rising Sun, if I'm
remembering some things right, that were mentioned in passing, doesn't
*have* to be senior wife, just because she's the only true member of
the tribe, because we're all getting married to Rick at the same time.

    She looked away and spoke very quietly. "There's only only other
choice, since it can't be Fran."

    Darlene sighed. "You."

    "Exactly. Since Rick is already considered to be married to Rising
Sun, once he's adopted, he can name us as people he wants as clan
members and co-wives, right, Dawn?"

    "I think so. Creating a new clan is prety drastic. Dad and the
council are going to want to be as traditional as possible, so I don't
know how that's going to affect the position of Senior Wife."

    Bev hugged me slightly while she studied Dawn. "I have a question
for you. I know that you'd be Senior Wife, if all of us were already
members of your tribe. But, you're also Princess Rising Sun, the only
daughter of the Chief. You have a lot of responsibilites nobody else
in the tribe has. So, since those duties take precedence over
*everything*, including your marriage, *should* Princess Rising Sun
take on the additional burden, and distraction, of becoming the Senior
Wife of a new clan?"

    Dawn resnuggled into me, then spoke carefully. "Please. All of
you. I need to think about this. Hold me, Rick, but don't do anything.
If the rest of you would find something to do so you don't distract
me, I'd apreciate it. Bev? Stay here, because I might need to ask you
some questions, that if I had been a 'proper' Princess, I would know
the answers to already."

    Jane touched her lightly. "Dar and I will take Dana and go
outside. Holler when you're ready, but not too soon, ok?"

    Dawn giggled, clasped her hand, then grinned. "Thanks. Don't wear
her out, ok? She has three more of us to take care of before the night
is over. Maybe five, but I don't think we'll see Fran and Trish any
earlier than late tomorrow morning."

    "Got it."

    After they left, we stayed silent for a few more minutes, then I
asked Dawn the obvious question. "Should I be here?"

    "Yes. Don't move. Now, let me think."

    "Got it."

    I lost track of time, except knowing it must have been at least an
hour before Dawn pushed at my hands. "I need to get up."

    I let go.

    She went went over and shut off the inside lights, then opened the
curtains and looked like she was staring at something outside for a
few minutes before she sighed and turned on the patio light. Then she
giggled. "If the patio light was turned on, we used it as the signal
to quit, because Dana usually wanted to check out whoever was up,
anyway. Besides, If she hadn't come running, whoever it was usually
called her, anyway."

    Bev laughed. "At least, *this* time, nobody needs to worry about
getting caught!"

    I laughed, then realized something. "Hey! Speaking of getting
caught, how'd you know that I'd fucked Dana?"

    Dawn's giggles changed to laughter. "Bev told us you were coming
home, of course, then, since the rest of us were here, she came over
so we could talk about what happened. Really surprised us when we saw
your shadows on the curtains and realized what the two of you were
doing."

    "Oh. That explains why she took off right after she realized I
wasn't going to do anything in the kitchen. You guys, huh?"

    "Yes."

    Dana came in first, then a little while later Jane and Darlene
came in. When I studied them, I realized they were both slightly
flushed and breathless, so I grinned at them. "No wonder Sis can't
decide if she wants to do it again with Dana. I don't think I've seen
you like that unless all of us were working on one person."

    Jane giggled. "Yeah. Dana's good, when we can relax and let her do
what she wants, as long as she wants to do it."

    She looked at Dawn. "Get things figured out? We decided that as
far as we're concerned, at the begining anyway, there's no reason for
us to change the way we are in private, so whoever it is, will be kind
of a speaker for all of us anyway, right? So to us, it doesn't matter
who it is."

    Dawn sighed. "If that's your way of saying you figured out we're
going to have to make it the person the rest of the tribe's women
think it should be, you're right."

    "Yes. We didn't think of it like that. But it's like hiding what
we do with Dana. We do what's expected of us in public, not what we'd
like to do."

    Dawn hugged her, then let go and studied Darlene. "Dar? There's no
choice. Because you'll be working with any children we have, more than
any of the rest of us. you'll have to be the Senior Wife."

    "You want *me* to be the Senior Wife?!"

    "We have no choice. I remembered that if a clan or family group
has to live on its own, the Senior Wife makes all the decisions that
aren't related to the immediate survival of the group, while the rest
worry about meeting her requirements. I know dad wants to keep things
as traditional as he can, so that's something we can't change on the
outside. It's bad enough that we'll be taking over a lot of the
decisions about what should be taught. He can get away with that
because of how much respect Rick and Fran have already earned from the
kids and their parents. You and the others have some too, but not in
the same way."

    Darlene shivered, then sat and looked at Bev and I. "She tell you
guys what her decision was going to be? When we left, we figured you
guys were going to work out a way to make everyone accept Bev."

    I shook my head. "Total surprise. Makes perfect sense, though,
based on what I know. Bev?"

    "Surprised me, too. I agree with Dawn, now that she's made me
shift the way I think. I also think we'd better make arrangements for
all of us except Rick to be alone with Still Waters, so we can find
out what she thinks."

    I chuckled and they all stared at me. "Sorry. I just realized that
all of us are going to be given new names. Let's hope some of the ones
the kids have given us don't get used."

    Dawn lost it and laughed so hard she had to sit down. "Maybe I
should suggest some of the ones we've called you over the years."

    "Gods! No!" Then I chortled. "If you do, I'm going to mention the
ones we've come up with for the rest of you!"

    Dawn grabbed a piece of Pizza and stuck it in my face. "Peace
offering!"

    I grinned after I took a bite, then I grabbed a breadstick and
held it so it was next to her cunt. "Which mouth do you want eat this
with?"

    She went to her knees and dug my prick out. Just before her mouth
slid down it, she grinned back. "I prefer hot dogs!"

    All of us laughed, then I looked up briefly. "Someone make sure
all the doors are locked and chained. Mom and dad aren't supposed to
be home until tomorrow, late, but I don't want to try explaining one
of our orgies, either. Check the garage, too, and make sure the opener
is still locked out."

    Jane smiled and reached to stroke my face. "We'll check the
curtains, too. You three head for your bedroom, and Dar and I will
pick up here and put the leftovers away before we join you."

    I grabbed her and kissed her. "Thanks, Jane. You, too, Dar."

    They got busy, Dawn looked up and watched my face while she came
off, then she sighed. "Your bedroom makes more sense, doesn't it?"

    "Yeah. I have a feeling my parents wouldn't be too upset if they
caught us all making out, but I don't know. That stuff about dad
getting twins pregnant is pretty... Odd."

    She giggled. "Kinky. So you and Fran really are cousins?"

    "Yes. We decided we'd try to forget what we found out. Which
reminds me. We already agreed that we wouldn't do any of that incest
stuff, except maybe work Dana together."

    "Ok. Hey. Wait. 'Together'?

    "Umm... Yeah. Sis already got to see me fuck Dana, and pet her
while it was happening."

    "Really? What'd Dana do about that?"

    "What do you think? Sucked it up."

    She stood up and held out her hands to me and Bev. "Come on. Let's
go get naked..."

    I let her help me up, then we both helped Bev get up before they
put me in a sandwich and we went to my bedroom.

    * * *

    After we stripped and settled on my bed, I sighed and hugged Bev.
"I'm still pissed about what you did to me last night. I thought we
had an agreement that we wouldn't play those sorts of games."

    She sighed. "Umm... I guess you've figured out that when one of is
with you, the rest of us have usually been somewhere in your back
yard, with Dana?"

    "I hadn't thought about it. No time to think about it."

    "I guess that makes sense."

    "You're ducking, Bev."

    "I know. We're all bi, ok?"

    "I don't know if I am, but it makes sense you girls would be,
because of the way we get together sometimes. Sis doesn't know about
that. I never told her that sometimes all of us get in a big pile."

    "Right. Anyway, Fran told you that I'm pretty serious about you?"

    "Yes."

    "Yeah... Last night? I got scared."

    "Oh? That doesn't make sense. It not like you haven't been there
with all of us, and I know you aren't a virgin."

    "That's part of the problem. I wanted it real bad, last night."

    "So did I, Bev. I'd been saving myself for us, you know? Then I
got home, Dana knew what she wanted, made it real clear she wanted my
prick in her cunt, and the rest was easy, because for the first time,
I realized she has a cunt that I could fuck, if I wanted to."

    "Really? All we saw was you fucking her."

    "Yeah. Really. I'll share the details later, when everyone is here
and we're wrapped up in the afterglow. So what happened last night?"

    "I had a reality attack. If we'd fucked for real, I would have
gotten real possessive, even though we'd already agreed to share you
no matter what happens. That's how much I want you, Rick."

    "So... What about now?"

    "Gods... I feel like I didn't do anything with anyone last night.
I need you, a lot. But, there's only one way I'll let you fuck me.
That's what I wanted to tell you this morning, even though Dawn had
already said she'd get her dad to come over as soon as he could get
everyone together."

    "I know the signs, Bev. You're scared, aren't you?"

    "Yes. We've talked it over, and the only way I can let you fuck
me, is when everyone else is here, too. Any other way... And I'm
pretty sure I'd start thinking monogamous."

    I sighed. "Dawn?"

    "Bev needs it, Rick. All of us do. But we need more than fucking."

    "Umm... 'We'. That means you're ok with me making love to them?"

    "Nothing's changed Rick, except for one thing."

    "Oh? What's that?"

    "As soon as Jane and Darlene get here, the four of us are going to
make love to Beverly, and while that's happening, the two of you are
going to fuck each other until you can't get it up any more, or she
passes out."

    Bev gasped. "Wait! That isn't what we agreed on!"

    Dawn raised herself slightly and studied Dawn, then smiled and
stroked her face lightly. "I know. It's what you need. It will work
out. Trust me?"

    Bev looked at her and sighed. "I guess I've always trusted you,
even though you seldom ask us to. You've changed, Dawn."

    "I'm married now. Of course I have. All of us have, and will,
because we're married. Even you."

    "I don't get it."

    "You should. This is what you wanted, isn't it? All us us married
to Rick, and him married to us? We don't have to worry as much about
one of us getting possessive of him, now."

    I interrupted. "It's for real, Bev. Once we gave our word in front
of Eagle Claw and the Council, we were all married to each other."

    "Oh. You're right. What about you? How do you feel about it, now?"

    "I'm ok with it. Sorta numb, but once it sinks in... Yeah. I'm
glad we can all stay together, after all.

    "There's something about us that Sis spotted this morning. You and
I are a pretty serious couple. I've been spending most of my time with
you, right? I think that if you hadn't done it this way and gotten
Dawn involved, I would have probably picked you."

    "Seriously?"

    "Yeah. It was that or none of you. And I gotta admit 'none' was
where I was headed, unless you count Dana. It would be easy for me to
switch to fucking bitches exclusively, especially as pissed as I was
last night and this morning."

    "Sorry. I was too scared to tell you the real reason I froze."

    "I guess we're even, I wasn't going to tell any of you about me
and Dana."

    Dawn sighed. "I wanted to tell you right after we started with
her, but I was talked out of doing it that way."

    "Oh?"

    "The Shaman said that if Dana was really the manisfestation of our
Totem Spirit, she'd find a way to speak to you, and you'd respond,
someday. We decided we'd wait until after we graduated before any of
us would think about telling you."

    I sighed and pulled her close. "I don't know how I would have
reacted. Thanks for waiting until I'd understand, a little."

    The three of us hugged, then I settled on my back and grinned at
Bev until she blushed. "You know how we do this so everyone can get to
who we're focused on."

    "Uhhh..."

    I touched her face lightly and stroked her cheek. "Would it help
if I said 'Bev! Sit! Stay! Fuck!' ?"

    "You!  No, It wouldn't help, because I've been wanting to let you
fuck me for weeks! Rick! Stay!"

    All of us were laughing when she straddled me, made sure I was
erect... Then hesitated. "Ummm... Dawn? He needs a condom."

    Dawn opened the drawer in the nightstand and giggled. "What kind?"

    "I don't care! Installed, damnit!"

    Dawn's giggles got louder, but she grabbed a box and got one out,
then put it on me. "Ok. He's all yours."

    Bev shifted slightly, then lowered herself until all her weight
was on me. "Yeesssss...."

    I laughed, then started rubbing the insides of her thighs while
Dawn went to work on her tits.

    Bev had her eyes closed, and I was watching her face while she
rocked herself on me, when the bed shifted slightly. Before I could
check to see who had joined us, Dana had stuck her nose in our
crotches and started licking Bev's clit and my dick.

    "Oh! Goddddd...... Ohgodohgodohgod...."

    Bev ground hersefl onto me, froze as she screamed, then her cunt
started milking me. I wasn't ready to orgasm, so I held on to her legs
and enjoyed it. After she relaxed a little and slumped into Dawn's
arms, I removed a hand and started finger fucking Dana, who paused,
then went back to licking us even more enthusiastically.

    Bev opened her eyes slightly. "You didn't orgasm."

    I laughed. "You did. That's all that matters, since we're doing
this for you, right?"

    "Uhhh... Never mind. I'm...."

    She shuddered again and Dawn giggled. "I can't wait to try that
with Dana's help. We've never got her off that fast, even with a dildo
and Dana's help."

    Bev had her head tilted back and her mouth was open while she
panted heavily.

    I moved my hand from her thigh to her stomach and I could feel her
muscles shivering as she kept orgasming. "She's out of it, isn't she?
Bev?"

    She ignored me, and I looked at Dawn and grinned. "I think I could
just lie here, stay hard, and eventually she's going to pass out
without me doing anything."

    "Help me steady her until Dar and Jane get here. Hold her from the
front, and I'll get behind her..."

    Dawn was settled and rubbing Bev's back when the others showed up.

    I heard the door close, and looked over to see Dar and Jane
standing there watching us. "Come on. We could use the help."

    Jane shook her head slightly. "We heard her scream. How many has
she had?"

    I laughed. "One. Once her cunt started spasming, it hasn't
stopped."

    "Oh. C'mon, Dar. Let's see if we can help her pass out. Hey, Rick?
You're doing such a good job on Dana, keep doing it until she decides
she's had enough. We'll focus mostly on Bev, but work you some, too."

    They stripped, got on the bed...

    And things got so busy I lost track of everything until things
slowed down and they eased Bev down until she was on top of me.

    Darlene snuggled against my left side and Jane settled on the
other side while Dawn settled so she could put my head in her lap and
run her fingers through my hair. "Bev's out of it. Dana took off a
long time ago. How are you feeling?"

    "Exhausted. What am I doing awake?"

    "I don't know."

    "Got it. Let Bev wake me up. The rest of you are going to have to
wait, if you want to use my prick."

    Darlene kissed me. "We have all we want, for now. You. Get some
sleep."

    "Thanks."

    I must have passed out, because I don't remember any of them
saying anything more.
