IS THAT DUELING BANJOS I HEAR?

Are you starting to get hungry yet, Chris?"

Those words were the first either Jerry Travers or his son had spoken in the last 2 hours of driving, they had been on the road for almost 4 now.

Coming out of his inner thoughts, Chris answered "Yeah, I guess so."

"We will have to stop for gas soon, how about if I find a place to get lunch?"

"Fine by me." Chris responded before going back to his thoughts.

Chris and his dad were driving from their home in Ohio to visit his father's brother in rural southeastern Kentucky. Chris was just out of high school and had thought this summer would be his best yet, but now he was certain his future would be ruined. He thought back to where things had started and how they got to this point.

Chris's father was a Master Sergeant in the Air Force, a career man with 23 years in so far. Chris had lived all over the United States and even been in a few foreign countries during his 18 years. As a military brat, he had learned to make friends quickly and easily, but also learned that developing close relationships with any of those friends would only lead to disappointment due to the inconsistencies of military assignment. A friend might be there one day and gone the next, parents transferred to a post half way round the world. Family was the only certainty and Chris had a good relationship with his parents. His mother, Helen, had been an Army brat herself, so was familiar with the life and the compromises one had to make.

Chris had never made any close friends until now, but things changed for him during the final year of high school. Mr. Gordon, his English teacher, had paired him with Melissa Myers for a semester long project. He had known her before to say hello, but nothing more. As they were required to spend more time together for the assignment, they became better friends then a spark of romance appeared.

Chris did not have much experience with girls and Melissa had been sheltered by her over-protective parents, so their journey was a slow one. Chris suggested that they stop for Cokes one day after a library session and then they decided to see a movie together. Melissa had held his hand during the movie and gave him a quick kiss afterward before heading home. They progressed to making out slowly, Chris finally getting the courage to touch her breast through her clothes. Melissa did not stop him, but it took another 2 weeks before he found the courage to go under her clothes.

It was understood between them that they would go to the prom together. Both had a good time dancing every dance together and when it ended, each took the other's virginity in the back seat of Chris's father's car. It was not as intimate and romantic as they would have liked, but after some fumbling and uncertainty, they had managed to do the deed. Each thought this was the best day in their short lives.

Two weeks later, school was out and Chris and Melissa went to the movies. Afterward, they found a deserted spot in the country where they parked and soon found themselves in the back seat. This time, they had only gotten partially undressed when the beam of a flashlight and the rap of a baton on the window had caused sudden panic. The police officer normally would have told the people he found parked on this road to get dressed and move along, but he recognized Melissa. He had gone to school with her father and had escorted them back to Melissa's house where he described in detail what he had found them doing.

Melissa's father went ballistic, shouting that Chris had raped his daughter and stolen her innocence. He demanded that the officer arrest Chris and he would press charges. Both Chris and Melissa were 18, so statutory rape was a no-go. Her father said that Chris had forced himself on a defenseless girl and demanded again that he be arrested. Melissa, for the first time in her life, stood up to her father and stated that she had not been forced to do anything she did not want to do. Chris had not forced himself on her and everything they did was completely consensual. She added that she had also enjoyed everything. This last only served to enrage her father who then lunged at Chris. The officer and Melissa's mother had to step in between them to keep her father from doing something he would regret. He kept shouting that she was only saying what she did because she was afraid of Chris standing there. Melissa told him that she was not afraid of Chris and he would just have to accept that she was not a child any more.

The officer could not do anything to Chris with Melissa vouching for him, so escorted Chris home. Once there, the officer told Chris to stay away from Melissa. Chris had a thought about telling the cop to fuck off, that he and Melissa were old enough to make their own decisions, but thought better and just walked inside his house.

Chris told his parents what had happened and each was supportive, although they tried to tell him that making out in the back seat of a car parked on a deserted road was not really very smart. They did not try to lecture him on the sex thing, he had been given the birds and bees talk years before. Chris was glad they did not have big issues with the event, but even though they did not elaborate, he got the impression that each had spent some time in the back seat when they were younger, and not necessarily with each other.

Chris was hopeful that things could get back to the way they had been, but Melissa's father was not going to let that happen. He had called Chris's father and told him he was going to pursue the issue. Jerry had tried to tell Mr. Myers it was just young love, but her father would not hear it. He would not let it go, and finally Jerry had just hung up on him. Chris tried to call Melissa on her cell phone, but the number had been disconnected. He assumed that since her father paid the bill, he had either changed her number or taken the phone away from her and cancelled the account. Melissa's father continued to make threats and try to stir up trouble for several days afterward.

Chris's father was not overly worried that his son would face any serious problems, but after some talk with his wife, he thought that getting Chris away from the situation would give the father time to cool off. He knew that if Chris was around, it would not take him long to try to find a way to get back with Melissa. He did not blame Chris for wanting to see her again, but knew that time would resolve some of the issues if nothing else happened for a while. To this end, he decided that his son should go to visit his uncle and cousins in Kentucky. Chris had never met any of them and Jerry thought a month away from the situation here at home would help to settle things. Of course, he did not consult with Chris before making the decision and that did not sit well with Chris when he got the news.

*****

Chris was again brought back to the present when he felt the car slow and pull into the gas station. He was surprised to see someone come out and ask his father what he wanted. In Ohio, everything he had ever seen was self serve and it was different to see someone else volunteer to pump the gas. After the tank was filled, they drove a bit down the road before his father spotted a diner and pulled into the lot. Inside, they went to a table and Jerry sat down. Chris asked him to order a burger, fries and Coke for him if the waitress came by, he had to take a leak. As he came back from the bathroom, he saw the waitress just turning to take the order to the kitchen. She was about mid 30's and a bit chunky to Chris's mind, but he noticed his father checking out her ass as she walked away. Chris had never seen him do that before, but maybe with his wife far away now he felt more comfortable doing it here. Chris sat down and his father took his turn in the bathroom before returning to join his son. They talked about the ride so far, but the conversation was not very inspired on either side. The waitress soon brought their meal and again Chris was surprised to see his father checking her out from the front this time. Maybe being back in the area he had grown up in made him do things he might not in other places. Chris forgot his musing and realized that he was pretty hungry, so went to work on the food.

After they had finished eating, the rest of the journey awaited them. Chris went back to his solitary thoughts in the car. He again tried to reconcile in his mind why he was the one to be punished if both of his parents said he had done nothing wrong. He had been looking forward to a nice easy summer, not just with Melissa, but with other friends he would likely never see again as they went off to college and jobs. He did not know what to expect from this trip, but knew that he had heard his father, after a beer or 2 too many, refer to his family as a bunch of hillbillies and rednecks. He did not know a lot about his father's family, and Jerry was not very forthcoming when he would ask.

After the decision to go to Kentucky had been made for him, his mother had taken him aside and told him what little she knew of her husband's family. Jerry was the oldest of 4 children, having 2 brothers and a sister. He would be going to see his uncle Willie, the next oldest and the only one of the siblings Jerry really kept in touch with. His other brother, Buck, had moved further back into the hills and had dissociated himself with his brother Jerry, claiming that by leaving the hills and joining the Air Force, he had deserted his family. Helen did not know much about him, and even less about Jerry's sister Loretta, the youngest of the 4. All she could get him to say about her was that she wasn't right. No specifics, just not quite right whatever that meant. Jerry had left the hills of Kentucky when he was 20 to join the military, and as far as she knew, he had never been back.

Jerry had met Chris's mother when he was stationed in Texas, and they married and soon Chris came along. Helen was an accountant and worked in the Finance office on the base. Her father had been career military and had retired from the Army after 33 years, finding a job selling real estate in Texas rather than just retire to play golf. As they had talked, Helen told Chris she was sorry that he had to pay the price for Melissa's father's intransigence, but it was for the best. Chris knew deep down that she was probably right, but he would never admit that to his parents, particularly his father who he suspected was the main proponent of the idea. Chris would also never admit it to himself.

*****

2 more hours in the car brought the pair to their destination. Chris had watched the progress of the trip, seeing the scenery change from the flat green fields and farms of Ohio to the hills and dirty roads of rural Kentucky. The change was dramatic and Chris wondered how something could be so different just hours from his own home. His father had commented as they drove that very little had changed in the years since he had been away. He had no trouble finding his way to his brother's home and soon they were getting out of the car to say hello to Willie, his wife and 2 sons. Jerry greeted his brother enthusiastically but Chris was more reserved. He thought the house was small and in disrepair and that the family was loud and boisterous. They certainly did not act like the people Chris had met in his life of Air Force travel. He tried to make the best of it as he was introduced to his Uncle Willie, Aunt Sadie, and cousins Bobby and Jimmy ray. They went inside the house where Willie offered them beer, but only Jerry accepted. Jerry and his brother started reminiscing so Chris was left to himself as Sadie went to check on dinner and his cousins took off somewhere without saying where or why. Chris had a feeling that this was going to be a long month.

*****

Willie had set up a cot in Jimmy Ray's room for Chris since he was the younger of the cousins. He was 2 years older than Chris and his brother 3. Both Bobby and Jimmy ray came back late and even though they tried to talk to Chris, they did not find much in common so all went to sleep.

At breakfast the next day, Sadie worked on a huge meal of biscuits and gravy along with some grits. Chris had never tasted them, but knew what they were. He thought the whole breakfast was way too much starch, but after giving the nutritional value a bit of thought, went to work eating. He found he liked the food and soon had a second plate under his belt. His father would be leaving shortly, he did not have time to stay. Chris wished he could return with his father today, but knew it was pointless to try to change something that seemed set in stone.

After Jerry left, Chris's cousins said that they had to do their chores and asked if he wanted to go along. They each had a 4 wheel ATV and would be looking after the few cows and pigs they raised. They got milk from the cows until fall when some would be butchered for their own use and the rest sold to provide money to survive winter. They also farmed a few acres of tobacco and alfalfa which the boys checked on. Chris rode in Jimmy Ray's 4 wheeler and they covered a lot of ground, but really did not do much physical work. They would race each other and take curves at speeds Chris thought dangerous, but they managed to survive and they had finished all they needed to do by about 3.

They returned to the house where the boys got a beer for themselves but Chris chose water. He was not much of a drinker and did not particularly like the taste of beer. Bobby suggested that since it was hot they go to the swimming hole. Chris protested that he did not have a suit but each cousin told him they didn't either.

"We swim buck naked, city boy. Does that bother you?" Bobby had taunted.

Chris had never been skinny dipping, but said he could handle it.

Just before they were ready to mount up, bobby pulled a foil pouch from his pocket and offered it to Chris. "Dip?"

Chris knew it was tobacco, but had never tried it. "No thanks."

OK, don't say I didn't offer." Bobby pulled a big wad from the pouch and put it into his mouth. Soon he was spitting brown juice and Chris could see a sticky brown accent stripe down one side of his ATV.

With Bobby leading the way, the boys took off cross country. They went through open fields, wooded paths, crossed several paved roads without slowing or looking beforehand and repeated the mornings reckless driving. They rode for close to half an hour before pulling up next to some large trees, Jimmy Ray telling Chris the pond was beyond those trees. As they dismounted, Bobby opened a bag he had strapped down in his ATV, extracting a Mason jar.

"Hey Jimmy Ray! Looky what I got. I went up to old man Cooney's place yesterday."

Chris only saw what looked like water in the jar, but bobby's brother shouted "Holy shit. He makes the best shine in the county."

They walked a few hundred feet into the trees before coming to a medium sized pond. The water was calm and the pond ringed by a circle of grass. Bobby and Jimmy Ray started stripping down so Chris joined them. He had showered with guys in gym class so was not bothered by being naked with others. Each put his clothes in a pile on the bank before wading into the cool water. They floated around for a while, splashing and dunking each other. After a bit, Bobby got out and Chris watched as he went around the pond and using a branch, caught a big rope that was hanging from a limb of a large tree. He hooked it on another branch, then backing up, took a running start grabbing the rope before swinging on it out over the water and then letting go and falling in. He came up whooping and hollering. Jimmy ray got out to take his turn then each looked at Chris as if to say "You're up." Chris wasn't sure about doing something like that and said so.

"You just a big pussy, city boy??" Bobby baited.

Chris said he would think about it, so each of the other two took a second swing. Bobby got out after his turn and retrieved the jar he had displayed before, then opened the lid and took a big swig, making a face and yelling as the liquid went down his throat. Jimmy ray took his turn and followed his brother's lead, yelling and whooping just as loudly. He handed the jar to Chris and the other 2 looked at him expectantly. Chris wasn't sure again but did not want to look too afraid to try something new. What harm could a little sip do, he thought. Chris slowly raised the jar to his lips and took a small sip. It smelled like turpentine and although he had never tasted turpentine, was certain this tasted worse.

"What the hell was that?" Bobby asked. "You barely got your lips wet. Take a man sized drink, pussy!"

Chris held his nose and took a good slug, feeling the liquid burn first his tongue, then all the way down his throat and finally burn in his belly. His vision went white for a few seconds, and then slowly came back into focus. He was sweating and his head was about to explode. His cousins were laughing and congratulating him at the same time. The shine had taken his breath away for a bit, but when he was able to speak, he announced "Where the hell is that rope. I ain't no pussy." He walked around to the side of the pond where the rope hung, and set it up preparing to swing out over the water. Taking a running start, Chris grabbed the rope and swung out as far as he could. He came up whooping and hollering just like his cousins. Chris climbed out and went back to do it again. He set up the rope and tried to beat his first mark. As he came up in the water, his head started to spin a bit, but the coolness of the water was helping him to calm himself. Looking around, he did not see either of his cousins. He got out of the water and took a walk around, looking and shouting for them. It was then that he noticed that the clothes he had been wearing when he arrived were also gone. "Son of a bitch" he thought. "What are they up to now?" He continued to shout for them, but after 10 minutes realized it was useless at this point. He sat down on the grass and decided he would just have to wait for them to return.

Sitting on the grass naked in the warm sunshine, Chris started to calm down a bit. He was still pissed that his cousins would run off with his clothes, but at the same time, spending time naked out here was kind of exhilarating. As he mused, he thought it would be even better if Melissa was here with him, naked also of course. He had thought of her often during the past few days since the incident with her father, but had not been able to see or speak with her. Her cell did not work any more and he knew if he called the house, he would likely get an earful from her father who was undoubtedly monitoring the caller ID. He had sent her an email after finding out about his forced vacation, telling her only that he would be visiting his uncle. He was intentionally vague, no way of knowing who might be reading. He had told her he would get in touch with her once he got back, no specifics about when that would be. Chris did not know if she got the email or who might be reading it, but since it did not bounce back, he assumed she might have read it. He continued to sit here in the grass, waiting for his cousins to return with his clothes and to take him back to their house.

Chris estimated that it had been close to an hour since he discovered that he was alone here. He had taken a little walk around the perimeter of the pond, looking behind some of the trees and bushes on the off chance that they had just hidden his clothes rather than taking the garments with them. No such luck and he had again found himself sitting in the warm sun.

As he sat there almost asleep, Chris thought he heard something from across the pond. It sounded to him as if someone was coming through the woods to the pond. Finally, he thought, they decided to come back. He got up, and then realized that he and his cousins had approached the pond from the other direction earlier this afternoon, and he had not heard the noise of the 4 wheelers, louder than usual with their mufflers removed. Was someone else coming to the pond? Was it an animal? What lived in these woods that might come to the water for a drink and be large enough to make noise sufficient to be noticed? Chris decided that he did not want to be sitting here on the bank naked without knowing what or who was coming. Now, the question was to hide in the woods or maybe get back in the water and try to stay out of sight. He didn't think either option a very good choice, but in the end decided to go into the water. There were some low hanging branches that he could use to cover his position and hopefully he could stay out of sight if he needed to until he would be able to get back out.Chris tried to get into the water carefully, he did not want to cause waves and ripples that might give him away if someone was coming. He got under the overhanging branches in time to see a young woman, perhaps a few years older than he was, come into the open and look around the pond. She was wearing a plain white blouse and Daisy Dukes. Chris had heard the shorts referred to by that name, but had no idea of its origin. She was carrying a bit of extra weight he thought, some in her stomach and some in her hips, but still she did not look unattractive. The woman then unbuttoned her blouse and removed it, throwing it onto the grass just as he had done with his clothes before they disappeared. She dropped the bra straps from her shoulders, pulled her arms from them, and then slid her bra around so that the catch was in the front. She removed the bra and Chris took a good look at her bare breasts.

These breasts were only the second pair he had seen in the flesh and he was comparing them with Melissa's. Melissa had medium sized breasts that were perky with the puckered pink nipples always hard, awaiting his touch. This woman had larger breasts, partially du to the extra weight she was carrying. Not fat, but just a bit chunky, similar to the waitress his father had been checking out in the diner. The breasts sagged onto her rib cage and Chris could not distinguish her nipples from the rest of the breast by color, they were the same.

He was studying her carefully when a voice called out, freezing him in place and almost scaring the crap out of him.

"Mazey, they's a boy in the water over yonder and he's alookin at your titties."

"Fo shore, Darlene?" the first woman asked. She shaded her eyes and scanned the surface of the pond, not yet seeing Chris.

"Fo shore! He's hidin over there where the branches hang low. He don't look like nobody I knows." The voice answered.

The first woman looked where she had been directed and was able to see Chris in the water. She had not tried to cover herself and just studied Chris's face, trying to place him he guessed.

The owner of the second voice came out of the undergrowth and started around the edge of the pond toward the first girl. Both then moved closer to where Chris was hiding, talking softly to each other. Chris was busted and knew it, but was unsure of what to do now.

"Hey there boy. What y'all doin in this pond?" the first girl asked him, now standing about 20 feet away. She still had not attempted to cover herself, seemingly unconcerned that she was topless to Chris's gaze.

Chris knew he could not run nor hide, so answered, hoping that they would not run off for help or get an angry older brother involved.

"I came here to swim with my cousins. They left without me."

"Y'all aren't from around here are you? Y'all talk funny. And, why would your cousins leave without you? Who are they, maybe we knows them." The second girl asked. Chris had moved out from under the branches, but did not want to get too close, he was embarrassed to be there naked with these 2 women.

"Bobby and Jimmy Ray Travers. They are my cousins and I am here visiting them." Chris answered.

The girls looked at each other then the first said "Bobby and Jimmy ray? They is our cousins too! You must be Jerry Lee's boy."

Chris had to think a minute, and then remembered that his father's middle name was Lee. "Yes, Jerry is my father. Who is your father?"

"I don't rightly know. Darnell is our Pa now and has been for as long as I kin remember, but he ain't our real Pa. Our Momma is your daddy's sister, Loretta Lynn."

Chris had not heard that his aunt had any children, but did not really know much about her other than the little he had heard from his mother.

The girl named Mazey then said "come on out here, let us see you cousin."

"I can't" Chris answered.

"Why not? We ain't gonna hurt you." She said laughing.

Chris just replied, embarrassed "I can't. I got no clothes."

"Well shoot, I ain't never seen nobody wear no clothes in this here swimming hole." Was her reply.

Chris stopped trying to count the double negatives when he realized that he understood her statement. "I don't feel right." He continued.

"Well, if you ain't comin out, we's comin in. We came here to cool off in the water and that's what we aims to do, right Darlene?"

Darlene just shook her head in agreement, and then started unbuttoning her blouse.

Mazey had pulled her shorts and panties off, wading into the water toward Chris. He looked at her a second, then he looked at Darlene. Darlene was smaller and more petite than her sister and Chris noticed more similarities between her and Melissa. Her breasts were smaller than Mazey's and she was thinner. Both sisters had dark hair in contrast to Melissa's light auburn, but Chris could see her body was a lot like Melissa's. Soon both were in the water and gliding over to where Chris had been standing on the bottom.

Remembering his manners, Chris told them his name as they approached. Each of them offered her own name to him, although he had figured out their names from the earlier conversation.

"You say Bobby and Jimmy Ray took your clothes? That don't surprise me none, them boys is just pure mean." Darlene started.

"I've been waiting for them to come back. I am staying at their house so I guess they have to come back to pick me up." Chris offered.

"How long they been gone?" Mazey asked.

"I don't know for sure, more than an hour."

"If they been gone that long, they ain't comin back tonight. It'd be just like them boys to leave you here in the woods without any clothes. I bet their daddy gave them hell about it then they all laughed and had a beer together. Uncle Willie ain't much better than them." Mazey stated.

Now, Chris started to worry. He had assumed the boys would come back to pick him up, but these girls who seemed to know them better thought otherwise. He was sure he would not enjoy a night in the woods without clothes.

"How am I going to get back to their place?" Chris asked rhetorically. "Can you girls give me a ride?"

Darlene spoke up "We ain't got no car. We come here afoot from our house maybe a mile or more that way." Pointing in the direction from where they had come into the clearing.

Mazey suggested "Our Pa gots a truck, but he ain't got no use for them boys or their Pa either. He might be willin to drive you. We could ask him."

As Mazey had been speaking, Darlene got a big smile on her face. "I gots an idea. How about if we takes you home with us and we hide you for a few days. When they comes back to find you in the morning, you won't be here and they'll go crazy tryin to find you. That'll teach them bastards a lesson for runnin off with your clothes."

Mazey started laughing. "Darlene, you gots some of their blood in you, you is just as mean. Let's do it."

Chris liked the idea as well. He was all for getting back at the brothers who had left him here and if not for these girls, might have let him spend the night in the woods. It was decided, but now what.

"Bout an hour of day left, we oughta start getting back." Darlene said.

Mazey looked at the sky and agreed. Both sisters started toward the shore but Chris hesitated. He was still naked and wasn't sure about getting out of the water that so far had covered his nudity.

The girls were waist deep in the water by now and Darlene asked "Y'all comin out, cousin Chris?"

"I don't have any clothes." Chris answered.

At this time the girls were completely out and Mazey said that they did not either. Chris could see them both standing there naked, not worried that he was looking at them. Chris had been in the water for a while now and was starting to wrinkle up. He realized he did not have any choice, so started to follow them out. They were waiting for him on the grass, neither doing anything to dress. As Chris cleared the water, he felt his face flush a bit, but the sisters did not say anything and didn't seem to be bothered by his nudity. He soon got over his nervousness and waited for them to make their move. Darlene said they would wait a bit to dress until they dried. Chris did not see any towels so guessed that they would just air dry.

As he waited for them to finish drying, Chris tried to unobtrusively check them out. Here he was with 2 naked women, tripling the number of women he had seen naked in one day. The cool water had caused each woman's nipples to harden and he could see the puckered look that he recognized from Melissa, but both women had nipples the same color as the rest of her breast. Darlene's breasts were smaller than her sisters, not having the extra weight to enlarge them. The smaller size enabled them to sit high on her chest without the sag Mazey showed. A few more minutes of drying and the women decided it was time to go. Each dressed, putting on the clothes they had removed upon arriving.

"Umm, what do I do now?" Chris asked of no one in particular.

"What do you mean?" Darlene asked.

"I don't have anything to wear. Do I just go with you naked? What if someone sees us?"

Darlene answered "We ain't goin nowhere where nobody will see us. We ain't got nuthin that will fit you anyway. I can let you hold my shirt in front of your privates if you want, but I have to get it back before I goes into the house. We can sneak you in when it gets dark."

Why do you have to sneak me into the house? Won't your mom and dad understand and go along with the joke?"

Mazey looked a little sad, "maybe they will and maybe they won't, sometimes our Ma says things that she ain't sposed to. Our Pa might not like what they did to you, but sometimes he don't agree with getting back at folks. After a couple of days it won't matter much."

Darlene had started to take off her shirt again, but Chris said not to bother. He thought he would look and feel more foolish trying to hold a shirt in front of his junk than he would just walking along naked. He had been standing here talking with them for a while without the embarrassment he was expecting, so just decided to suck it up and go with the flow.

*****

Chris followed his cousins as they weaved their way through the woods back to their house. Fortunately, the undergrowth was not so thick that Chris got his unprotected skin cut or scratched up. They walked for about 25 minutes until the girls stopped a little shy of a house Chris could see through the trees. It was twilight and Mazey told him to stay out of sight until it got a little darker, and then she would come to the window of her room and let him in the house. The area was deserted and the house looked even more weathered and worn than his uncle Willie's. Chris waited in the trees for several minutes after the girls went into the house before he saw a light come on in the room he was directed to. He saw Mazey in the window after she opened the curtains, then removed the screen. She motioned for him to come up and then helped him crawl into the room. Chris looked around and saw 2 beds and 2 small dressers. There was a bare bulb hanging from a wire dropped through a hole in the ceiling and the yellow paint on the walls was peeling in quite a few places. Mazey put the screen back into the window and then pulled the curtains closed.

"Darlene's out talking to Ma and Pa. I will try to find you something to wear, I think you will fit into darnell's stuff. Just stay here for now and we will be in soon."

"Any chance I can get a little something to eat? I haven't had anything since earlier today." Chris asked.

"I think there's a few biscuits left from supper. I will bring in something when I comes back."

She turned out the light and left, closing the door behind her. Chris sat on the bed, still naked and wondering just how he happened to be here in this situation. He knew his father could not have known what would happen (could he?) but right now his father was the target of his anger. If he had not made Chris come down to this hick county, Chris might even now be having a good time with Melissa. As he sat here pondering, Chris realized he was sweating pretty good. The day had been hot and the humidity in these hills was a killer he thought. There was no air circulation in this room and he wondered how anyone could sleep with conditions like these. He lay down on the bed and tried not to think about the events of the day.

Despite the stifling heat and humidity in the room, Chris had almost drifted off to sleep when his cousins came in about an hour later. He jumped as the door opened, taking a moment to remember where and why he was here. His comfort with his nudity had disappeared somewhat as he lay there naked while both girls were dressed and inside a home. He felt his face flush a bit as the feeling came over him. Darlene had 2 biscuits in her hand and Mazey was carrying a pair of bib overalls. She handed them to Chris, saying she could not get a shirt or any drawers right now. Chris got up and put on the overalls, noticing that they were almost white from wear and not the usual stiff feel of denim. These had been around for a while and had seen many washings. They fit him as well as could be expected, although a good fit from bib overalls almost seemed a contradiction.

Chris took the offered biscuits and started to wolf them down. He did not realize just how hungry he had become and he felt a bit uneasy eating like this in front of his cousins, but his hunger trumped his manners right now. Once finished, he thought they might talk a bit and he could learn more about his newly discovered cousins and their family. Mazey motioned for him to be quiet, saying that she did not want to chance her parents hearing him just yet. Darlene told him they had to be up early to do chores and Chris estimated it was after 10:30 by now. He watched as each girl stripped down to panties to sleep in. Mazey told him that he could sleep on the rug between the beds, the rest of the floor was bare wood. She had an extra pillow he could use so he lay down between the beds before Mazey turned out the light. She opened the curtains on each of the room's 2 windows before getting into her own bed.

As he lay there thinking, Chris realized just how uncomfortable sleeping on the floor could be. Even the small cot that had been set up for him in Jimmy Ray's room would be preferable to this. Still, he tried to make the best of it and relax, attempting to go to sleep. He also was reminded of just how hot and humid this room could get, now that he was lying there with clothes on. The overalls had been worn thin, but they still held his body heat and he was sweating even more now than he had been earlier. As he lay there steaming in his own perspiration, he could hear his cousins shifting around restlessly in their beds. He was aware of the sounds each made, as well as the sounds of nature outside. The crickets, the cicadas, even a far off owl hooting. This was a considerable change from life in Ohio where the perpetual landing and takeoffs from the base were a constant in his life. After about 30 minutes of sweating his ass off, he decided the overalls had to go for now and tried to remove them as quietly as he could. Both girls heard him and Mazey whispered "You cain't wear no clothes to bed in the summer here if you wants to sleep." Chris was cooler but the floor was just as uncomfortable as ever. He continued to toss and turn, trying to find a spot that was more comfortable than any other.

After several more minutes of restless shifting, Mazey told him to come up and get into bed with her. The bed was a single and not really made for 2. Chris resisted her offer, saying he would get to sleep eventually.

"You ain't used to sleeping on the floor and you ain't gonna get no sleep if you stay there. I can move over enough so you can get some room here. Just do it so we kin all get to sleep." Chris knew she was probably right and reluctantly got up and slid into the bed. Mazey had moved to one side, but even then they were touching each other with no extra room anywhere in the bed.

Chris had never slept with a woman and was acutely aware of her nearly naked body lying right next to his totally naked body. His anxiety about his proximity to a naked woman was joined by a feeling that something was growing in his crotch. Chris was sure that Mazey would know exactly what was happening, even though the room was in total darkness. He was sweating even more now as he was certain that she would discover his condition at any moment and shout her disgust to the world. As Chris lay there trying to get his erection to disappear, Mazey decided that she would be more comfortable on her side, so turned, and in so doing, her breast rolled against Chris. The touch was like a hot poker to Chris, but he dared not make a move for fear she would be offended. To further complicate things, Mazey snuggled herself closer to Chris, now putting both her breasts against him, one on his arm and the other directly on his chest. She murmured something then he felt her arm across his chest. That slow rise in his crotch became instant steel. Chris was paralyzed with concern his condition would be discovered but Mazey had seemed to relax as she lay next to him and even appeared to be going to sleep. This allowed Chris to relax a bit but the boner remained.

*****

Chris awoke several hours later, and after a second or 2 to clear his mind, he realized where he was again. Not much had changed in the time he slept, though he wondered how he had been able to sleep. The stifling heat in the room continued to provide his body with a coat of perspiration and Mazey was still snuggled up against him, but now Chris had an arm around her shoulders. Chris was still aware of his erection, but no longer worried that Mazey would become aware of it and get upset -- particularly since she was holding it in her hand and teasing the head with her thumb. The touch sent a shock through Chris's brain and a chill down his spine, causing him to jump.

"Mazey ..." was all that he could say at this moment.

"Sshhh! I was wonderin if this thing worked and now here it is waiting for me." She whispered.

"Mazey, we're cousins! You shouldn't be touching me like that." Chris answered, although he was getting more aroused by the minute.

"So what if we are blood. If a person can't sleep with family, then who? Better to find some stranger who ain't gonna be there for you the next day? Folk around here been fucking other kin for as long as people been around. I expect you'll be my cousin tomorrow and we will always be family. No big deal if you don't let it be."

Chris's head was swimming, everything he had ever been taught told him that sex with family was wrong. Now, his cousin was telling him something else, and it kind of made sense. He also realized that she was expecting him to fuck her.

A thousand things were flying through his mind at the moment, none of them slowing long enough to get a grasp on any one of them. The incest thing with his cousin was still bothering him, but maybe less so now. He was troubled that even lying here naked with another woman was making him unfaithful to Melissa. The bits and pieces he could seem to grasp were centered about the feelings in his crotch. More and more that feeling was driving his actions. He turned on his side to face Mazey, finding that she had somehow removed the panties she had been wearing earlier. She still had a good grip on his cock and was squeezing and pulling on it. Chris remembered the feel of Melissa's hand on his rod and how it was more tentative. Mazey, in contrast, did not have any reservations about what she was doing and her touch showed it.

Mazey rolled onto her back and pulled Chris on top of herself. She had spread her legs but not released his cock, using the head to tease her lips and clit. Chris wanted to say something, but the words just would not come. The arousal he had felt a few minutes ago had turned to pure lust as Mazey continued to manipulate his cock. Chris thought back to that first and only time he had actually had his cock in a woman's pussy. The feeling of that experience had been enough to let him know that he wanted more of it. He had discovered that having a warm and wet pussy surrounding his cock was the best feeling in the world and his need for that feeling again was great. Right now, his cock was looking forward to feeling a hot pussy and that cock was not worried about whose pussy it would find a home in. Chris's hips had instinctively started to thrust forward, hoping to encourage Mazey to place the tip of his cock into the entrance of her wet pussy so he could penetrate her. Mazey noticed the actions and whispered to him "that's it baby. I know you want in, you need some of Mazey's pussy. I'm almost ready for you, show me you know how to use that hard dick of yours!"

Her words excited Chris, but at the same time he was struck by the difference now and when he had been with Melissa. She was shy and saying something like this would have totally freaked her out. Chris wondered why he kept thinking of her, especially now when he was getting ready to fuck another woman, a woman who was his blood. His need to feel a pussy wrapped around his hard cock was getting stronger and he consciously worked to put any thought of Melissa out of his mind.

Chris had been pumping his cock toward the pussy as Mazey kept playing with it, but now she placed the tip into the fold between her wet lips and as Chris pushed forward, she moved her hand out of the way and his cock pushed half way into her pussy. Chris was rewarded with that feel he was looking for, and his next thrust forward had him all the way inside. His body wanted to keep pumping, but his brain told him to stop and just enjoy the feel before he continued. He shoved in all the way and took a minute to experience all the new sensations, noticing the feel of her tits on his chest, her hands on his ass encouraging him to shove in, even the feel of her hot breath on his shoulder. Mazey asked why he stopped and he told her it just felt so good that he wanted to enjoy the feelings before he moved.

"I ain't never had nobody say anything like that before." Mazey laughed.

Chris's body regained control of his actions and the pause was over, his cock now moving into overdrive as he started pumping the pussy that surrounded it.

Although he was not very experienced, his body seemed to know exactly what to do as Chris started ramming his cock deeper and harder into his cousin's pussy.

Mazey whispered into his ear "that's it, Chris honey. Nice and hard! Mazey likes it hard. Fuck me harder!"

Her words excited Chris as he was stroking into her and then she wrapped her legs around his waist, causing him to slow for a second, but then picking up right where he had left off. Mazey was humping back against every thrust and soon Chris could feel his balls start to tense up.

"I'm going to come." He whispered into Mazey's ear.

She was moaning softly, but at the words took both hands off his ass and grabbing his head, pulled him to her mouth and kissed him like no family member ever had. She worked to suck his tongue into her own throat and he found his tongue fighting with hers to win that battle. Chris sensed more than heard a change in her moans and although he was not sure, thought it signaled that she was near her climax. He was close enough himself that he could no longer control his actions as he had before, just trying to keep that cock to pussy contact he craved so much. Mazey still had a lip lock on him preventing him from saying anything, but she had completely lost the rhythm they had established earlier. She was shuddering and bouncing around as he also lost any semblance of control, feeling the rise of semen in his cock that signaled orgasm for him.

Each took a few minutes to regain their composure, and then Chris started to wonder just what he had done. His lust and craving for pussy had won the battle over reason and now he was starting to second guess what he should have done. Mazey, however, spoke first.

"It's been a long time since I let a man put his dick in me. I ain't gonna wait that long again, and since yalls family, you can have first dibs on my pussy any time."

Her words only confused Chris more, but as he rolled off her, he put his arms around her and held her close, playing with her breasts as she snuggled into him. This time, sleep came quickly for each and neither woke until the sun started peeking into the windows. Both girls had to get up for chores and Mazey had left the bed to dress. Chris sat on the edge of the bed as he watched each put on clothes, no longer worried about his own nudity. Mazey left the bedroom first and Darlene came over to hug him good morning. He was surprised at this, both had been friendly yesterday, but not physically affectionate. He had not been around long enough to know if this was normal or something else. Before letting him go, she whispered in his ear "You can sleep in my bed tonight."

Chris had not thought about her in the other bed last night and assumed she was asleep, but now he was not so sure.

After the girls had left the room, Chris put on the overalls he had removed last night. The curtains were closed and the door was too, now the room was going to be really hot. However, he decided that if someone might see him in a girls bedroom, clothed was better than naked. He looked around and did not see a TV or radio. His own Ipod was in the suitcase he had left at Uncle Willie's place. He could not get cell reception there and Willie had told him very few people around here could afford them, so the phone companies did not go to any trouble to install towers. 15 minutes later Darlene came in with a bowl of grits for his breakfast. She said they would be gone doing chores for 3 or 4 hours then be back. Her mother would be around but rarely came into their room. As she was talking, Chris heard a car start then drive off. Reading his thoughts, Darlene told him it was her father Darnell. "He sharpens knives, scissors, and saw blades, purty much anything that can take an edge. He goes all over the county and won't be back till late this afternoon."

Chris knew it would be a long day and resigned himself to being bored and trying to get some rest despite the heat.

*****

The morning had been just as hot as Chris expected it to be. He tried to rest, not having much else to do and since he had been awake part of last night, he wanted to catch up on sleep. He had heard Mazey and Darlene talking to each other off and on as they worked to do their chores, but mostly he just waited for them to come back so he would have something to do or someone to talk to.

The girls did come back after noon. They were tired and hot, each wearing worn jeans that were more appropriate for working in than the shorts they had on last evening. As they came into their room, Mazey motioned for Chris to be quiet. She whispered that her mother was just outside the door and might hear him. Chris had heard someone moving around in the house during the morning and assumed it had been her.

"We has to help Ma with cleanin the house. Once we gets that done, we is gonna go to the swimming hole again. I knows it's hot in here, we can stay there longer today." Mazey said quietly.

Chris was rethinking the wisdom of hiding out here to get back at his cousins. He wasn't sure how well he would like spending time with them, but at least they did things he could participate in. He wondered what they were doing now to try to find him, maybe they weren't too worried about his absence.

Chris resigned himself to more boredom as he waited for his cousins to finish their tasks so he could get out of the house for a while. Each girl took off her long pants, replacing them with shorts. Chris was surprised by the way they changed in front of him, but yesterday they did not seem bothered to be undressed in front of him or by his own nudity in front of them.

Just before she went out into the house, Mazey said I picked a mess of blackberries this morning over by the crick. I's gonna make a pie for supper and Darnell brought home a couple of rabbits that Ma will fry up. We's gonna eats good tonight!"

Chris had never tasted rabbit, but deferred asking what it taste like, not wanting to hear that it tasted just like chicken.

It was after 3 by Chris's reckoning when the girls came back into the room. Darlene had a t-shirt and pair of boxers she said had been removed from the washing, Chris could put them on. Right now, the overalls he wore were more than he wanted to be wearing, so he said he would wait until later for the other items. The sisters asked if he wanted to go back to the swimming hole, and by now Chris would have done just about anything to get out of this room and get a change of scenery. Mazey took the screen out of the window and Darlene distracted her mother long enough for Chris to leave the room and get into the trees. They retraced their steps from last night and soon were back at the pond. Chris had wondered if his other cousins might be nearby, but they did not see another person during the walk or at the pond.

All stripped off their clothes and entered the cool water. Chris imagined this was the best thing he had felt in a long time, but the thought of being inside his cousin's pussy was a close second. Maybe even a little better, but right now, the coolness of the water was letting him forget the long day of hiding out in a closed room. His cousins were also enjoying the relief the water provided, their chores and housework just as hard on them. They did not fool around as much as the male cousins had yesterday, but Chris noticed that Darlene would get close to him and rub up against his body as they floated around. He even jumped once when he felt her hand brush across his crotch one time. She didn't show any recognition on her face so he wasn't sure if it was intentional or an accident. They stayed in the water for about an hour before getting out and sitting on the grass under the shade of the trees.

Mazey and Darlene were not ready to head home just yet, so Chris took the opportunity to ask them about their family and their life here. He did not know much, but wanted to learn more.

"Ain't much to tell." Darlene had started. "We ain't got much, just like most folks here in these hills. Me and Mazey used to work at the mill till it closed down last year. Not much work around so we helps out at home. Our Pa sharpens things, he drives all over the county so he is gone a lot. He don't make much money, but they ain't a lot he kin do either. He is good with his hands so Mr. Jones at the garage lets him work a bit if he is busy."

"What about your mother?" Chris asked.

"Ma just stays home mostly. She don't go out much, most folk around here knows she is different and understands." Mazey added.

"What do you mean different?" Chris asked.

"She just don't always say the right things. Some times she seems lost in herself but she is our Ma and we loves her the way she is. Darnell takes good care of her and she is happy bein our Ma."

"Who is your real father, you said Darnell isn't, right? " Chris asked, not sure this was any of his business.

"We don't rightly know. Ma says she ain't telling when we asks. I guess it ain't important, sometimes I wonder if she really does know." Darlene finished.

As they sat talking in the cool grass, Darlene had slid over to sit right next to Chris. She soon started to run her hand over his bare thigh as she talked and listened to her sister. Chris was startled at her first touch, not knowing what she was planning. Mazey watched her sister but did not say or do anything, just continuing to talk and enjoy the lazy afternoon. Chris did not want to act as if he was upset, but what to do? Was she going to start something right here on the bank of the pond with her sister watching? Chris had been checking her out, maybe she had noticed and took his attention as an invitation to start something. Chris tried to ignore her touch, but her hand was getting closer to his cock which was starting to tingle. Chris would soon be sporting a boner if things did not change.

Mazey then asked him a question, taking his attention from the twinge in his crotch, but not doing anything to remove the feeling. "What about your family? I ain't never met your Pa, Jerry Lee. I heared Ma talk of him once or twice but don't know much. I guess you gots a Ma too?"

Chris responded "My Dad is in the air Force. We travel a lot so I have been all over. My mom's name is Helen. I imagine she would like to meet you two, maybe she can come down some time. Dad doesn't say much about the family, I don't think he has been here since he left when he was about 20."

Darlene added, still rubbing Chris's thigh as she did "I bets we met him. He left right after I was born Ma told me one time. We just cain't remember something that fur back."

"You might be right, Darlene. I knows I don't remember." Mazey added.

"Why do you call my dad 'Jerry lee'?" Chris asked with interest. He had never heard them refer to his father as anything else.

"That's what everybody always calls him. I ain't never heared anybody say nothing different. They calls momma Loretta Lynn too."

Chris chuckled a bit. "Your mom's name reminds me of a country singer."

Darlene jumped in "It should, she is named for Loretta Lynn, and she be a star in the Grand Ol Opry. All the kin was named fer singers."

Chris wondered about that. "Why did they name them after singers?"

Don't rightly know why. I been told Ma's Pa liked music and wanted to name his kids fer some of the stars. You gots jerry Lee Travers, Willie Nelson Travers, Buck Owen Travers and Loretta Lynn Travers." Mazey explained.

I have heard of the last three, but who is Jerry Lee?" Chris asked.

Jerry Lee is Jerry lee Lewis. He is a country star, sings and plays the piano. Most remember him fer marryin his 13 year old cousin. Got a lot of people upset by that." Mazey responded.

Chris had not even noticed that Darlene had inched her way down his thigh and was now slowly rubbing his cock which had started to respond to her touch.

Chris was thinking about what he had learned and was trying to digest some of it. Things were strange down here and he knew he would have to take some time to get everything sorted out in his mind. As the conversation started to slow, Chris was jolted to awareness of what Darlene was doing as his cock sent a message of pleasure to his brain. He looked down and found to his horror that his cock was fully erect and pointing skyward. He looked at Darlene who was continuing to rub and all he could do was say "Darlene??"

Darlene looked up and smiled at him, just teasing his hard cock with her fingertips.

"You OK, cousin Chris?" she asked.

Chris couldn't answer, he just looked from his cock in her grasp to her face then to Mazey sitting a few feet away watching with no real interest.

"I just wanted to see what it was like in the light. At night they's no light in our room so I gots no idea what it be like. I told you that you kin sleep in my bed tonight. I will takes good care of you then."

Chris's face had flushed red with embarrassment, but he was getting really turned on with his cousin holding his cock and rubbing it. He had been comparing Darlene with Melissa for the past day and the 2 were a lot more similar than Melissa was to Mazey. Chris did not want to admit to himself he had thoughts about what it might be like to spend some time in Darlene's pussy, but that possibility now seemed more likely to occur. He wondered if she had similar thoughts about him and maybe even of doing something about them here and now.

Completely aware of the circumstances that had caused his cock to come to attention, Chris's body now started to betray his thoughts. His cock would twitch a bit as Darlene rubbed a particularly sensitive spot and she would giggle. With a more noticeable jump, Darlene would call its attention to her sister. Mazey was smiling and watching, but not doing anything more. She sat a few feet away just lying in the grass and observing what Darlene was doing. Without conscious effort, Chris realized that his pelvis had started thrusting his cock into Darlene's hand and was trying to get more sliding action from that hand. Darlene was a bit surprised, but was glad to offer more contact, sliding her hand more fully around Chris's erection and starting to pump the stiff organ. Her hand wasn't quite as good as a hot pussy, but a lot better than nothing at all. He was surprised she would be doing this with her sister sitting beside her, but at this point, Chris was starting to lose any notion of what was proper and what happened around here.

"Mazey, looks like cousin Chris likes this. Bet it won't be long afore he is squirtin something into my hand." Darlene joked.

Mazey answered her sister "He put something into my pussy last night, was pretty hot goin in."

Darlene countered "I will be finding that out later tonight. He will be sleepin in my bed this time. Right now, I just wants to get a look at it comin out in the daylight. I thinks he is close."

Darlene was right, Chris was just about there. He had continued to thrust his cock into her hand that was rubbing up and down his shaft. He was amazed he would be doing something like this, his life before he came down here had been pretty uneventful, almost boring. Letting a girl he had known for only 2 days jerk him off while her sister watched was strange enough, but that these 2 were his blood cousins was even more bizarre. Chris would have to put off any more philosophizing for later, his first spurt had just cleared the tip of his cock as he felt Darlene squeeze harder and then squeal as the liquid flew into the air before landing on her leg. She kept jacking him as she pointed his cock away from her body and the rest of his load went harmlessly into the grass until it had lost sufficient velocity and then dribbled onto Darlene's hand. Chris just slumped onto his back, the experience had drained him of all energy.

Darlene turned to her sister. "That boy can sure shoot, cain't he. Now I knows what he be putting into my pussy tonight. I gots to wash this off, we goin back into the water?"

Mazey said she would go in for a bit, but Chris was still unable to move. The girls walked back into the pond and started gliding around, and then Chris joined them 5 minutes later. This time in the water, Darlene was not coy about sliding up to him and playing with his cock. Chris was still unable to get it up that soon, but the twinges told him it would not be long if he needed it to be up. Mazey even came over and gave him a stroke or 2, laughing at his reaction.

"I told you cousin, kin be fucking kin around here. No big deal if you don't let it be." Another half hour in the water and they were ready to go back.

They again sat on the grass to dry. This time, Mazey said she wanted to get back soon, supper would be the rabbit and greens with blackberry pi for dessert. "Me and Darlene won't eats too much so you can haves some too, Chris."

Chris was confused. "You mean you have to eat less if you bring me something?"

"Usually, we ain't gots a lot. Sometimes we has more than others, but mostly we only gots enough to feed just us." Darlene said with some embarrassment.

Chris had never thought about something like that. His family always had enough and more. He was really unaware of how other people lived.

"I can't be taking food out of your mouths. I should be back at uncle Willie's if you have to do this for me."

"It ain't no big deal for now. I would miss more than a few meals to make them bastards get what's comin to them." Mazey laughed. "I kin stand to lose a meal or 2. I gots some fat to lose." Mazey said, hefting her large breast and patting her stomach. "If you kin stand one more day, we will find you and let them know sometime tomorrow."

Darlene jumped in with "He ain't goin back until after he takes care of me tonight. You got your chance, you ain't the only one who needs a dick in your pussy."

Chris almost felt like a toy they were sharing, but evidently they had made the decision for him. One more night with his cousins and then he would see what the new day brought. *****

Chris and his cousins walked the distance back to their house and once again Chris was going in through the window. He had seen the old pickup parked next to the house and Mazey told him it was her father's truck.

"He got home early today, maybe not much work for him." Darlene speculated.

Chris sat down on the bed and just waited for the girls to come into the room. He could hear conversation among the family members and the smell of dinner was making him hungry. The room had not cooled any and he was back to wondering if this plan to prank his other cousins was really such a good idea. Darlene came in later with a plate of fried rabbit and greens. Chris hadn't ever eaten them and was thinking of the spinach he resisted eating as a child. He gave it a try and decided this was a lot better. He finished with a piece of pie, Darlene saying that Mazey had picked enough berries to make 2 pies. Chris was going to ask for another piece of pie, but remembering back to the conversation from this afternoon, did not want to cause anyone in the family to have to do without for him. Darlene stayed a few minutes as he ate, but cautioned him to speak little and softly. She went back to the family after a bit and Chris was once again left by himself in the hot room.

Mazey and her sister came in after the sun had set fully, Chris thought that to be about 9:30. They undressed for bed, Darlene stripping down to nothing while Mazey stayed in her panties. Chris saw the look on Darlene's face as she watched him, knowing she expected him in her bed tonight. He had only been wearing the overalls, the thought of putting on boxers and a shirt in this heat seeming ridiculous to Chris. He sat on the edge of Darlene's bed as her sister turned out the light and opened the curtains. He lay down on the bed on his back and Darlene lay down next to him. There was a bit more room tonight, Darlene was smaller than her sister, but not by that much. She turned to face Chris and like Mazey the night before, snuggled into his side and he found his arm around her shoulder.

Darlene started rubbing his chest, her hand slowly moving further down as she teased him slowly. Chris was noticing the feel of her body next to his, thinking it more similar to that of Melissa. He thought a bit about the reason for the flash of memory of Melissa, he had been thinking about Darlene all day. Maybe it was just that Darlene was here now and Melissa far away. In any case, he soon forgot about Melissa and concentrated on the feelings that Darlene's touch was eliciting in his crotch.

Darlene was not as aggressive as her sister had been last night, but Chris could sense that she was as needy. He turned to face her, bringing his cock which was well on its way to total hardness into contact with her pussy. Darlene was starting to moan softly as he began to thrust his cock against the warm wetness of her sex. She had pulled his face into hers, kissing just as hard and passionately as Mazey had done last night. Chris returned the kiss, enjoying the sensation of her soft tongue dueling with his. He pulled her onto himself and started rubbing his hard cock into her dripping pussy with more vigor. She was still kissing with no sign of letting go, and Chris took the opportunity to squeeze her breast as he continued to kiss. She murmured her pleasure at his touch, apparently aware that making too much noise would alert her parents to what was going on in the bedroom.

Chris would have been happy to continue with the forplay, but Darlene let him know that she was ready for more. Chris was also ready to find out what the inside of her pussy felt like, he had been feeling the outside for some time now. He rolled out from under her, getting on top. Darlene was ready and spread her legs to welcome him into her pussy that was anxious and ready.

"I been waitin for that dick of yours all day. Come on cousin, stick it in me and let me feel you squirtin into me."

Chris poked around with the tip of his cock, getting close but not penetrating her lips. Darlene took hold of his shaft and holding it in position, urged Chris to shove in. she had one hand on his ass cheek and as the tip of his cock started to disappear into her depths, she put the other next to the first and started pulling Chris into herself.

"Come on sugar, slide that thing into me. I needs it bad. Time for some family lovin." She panted into his ear.

Chris was excited by the thought of getting that feeling of his cock in a wet pussy, but her comments about fucking a family member really turned him on for some reason. He knew in the back of his mind he should not be doing this for so many reasons, but right now, he could not think of one that was sufficient to stop him from doing what he intended to finish.

Once inside her pussy, Chris had started pumping hard and fast. Darlene had started humping back just as hard, but soon told him to slow, they had all night.

"I ain't goin nowhere. We gots all night, let's take some time."

Chris's instinct had told him to keep up the fast pace, but thinking about what she had said, he realized that if he took more time, he could enjoy the feeling of his cock in her pussy for longer. That thought was enough to allow him to slow some and soon they were moving together at a more leisurely pace. With the urgency gone, Chris started to concentrate on some of the other sensations he was only vaguely aware of earlier. Her breasts that were pressing into his own chest were not as large as her sisters, but they were firmer and he could feel the hard nipples digging their way into his chest. Darlene was softly moaning in his ear as he brought one of his hands up to her breast and started massaging it, causing her to moan more. She was still conscious enough of her actions not to be too loud, but Chris was certain that she might let go if she lost her battle with her arousal. Right now, however, that thought was not the overriding concern in his mind, getting more pussy time had put the first thought out of his consciousness. He bent to take her hard nipple into his mouth, causing their slow rhythm to be interrupted, but they quickly found it again, although with his mouth on that nipple, Chris had to work a bit harder to keep his cock sliding in with the same tempo. He managed and was enjoying the feel of Darlene's nipple in his mouth as he continued fucking her hot and now very wet pussy.

Chris knew he could not keep this up for much longer. He was loving the feel of being inside that wet pussy, but the twinges in his balls were telling him that there would be a new sensation very shortly. He let go of Darlene's nipple and moved his mouth to her ear where he whispered that he was just about there. He had been noticing that her moans and sighs were getting louder and he was not yet so far gone that he knew she would be letting everyone in the house know what she was doing if he did not stifle her. He put his lips on her own and started kissing, hoping she would not be able to make any serious noise with his mouth over hers. He also enjoyed the feel of his tongue dueling with her tongue in her mouth as he felt the surging of his climax. Darlene was losing her battle with control, her tremors were getting stronger and more erratic. She was humping back at Chris's strokes much more forcefully than she had been before and Chris knew that this signaled her approaching orgasm. He was trying to hold back his own release but did not have the experience nor self control to do so, now finding his cock spurting its hot contents into his cousins waiting pussy. Chris had lost his own battle to maintain the stroking he was trying to keep going, but was only able to shove in as far as he could and then ride out his orgasm. Darlene had been experiencing minor tremors and quivering feelings as she started the rise to her own climax, but as she felt the hot fluid spurting from Chris's stiff cock, lost her own battle to maintain control and just let the feeling wash over herself, shouting her pleasure into Chris's mouth that was fortunately covering her own. Her convulsions on the bed had almost thrown Chris off, but he had the presence of mind, even deep in his own climax, to hold on and ride out her orgasm with her. Soon each started to calm, but Chris wanted to maintain that cock to pussy feeling he craved, holding himself inside Darlene until his cock started wilting and it fell out.

Chris rolled off Darlene and held her as they tried to calm from the coupling. Darlene whispered in his ear "Mazey was right. You gots a nice dick and it has been way too long. Even better that you is family."

Chris just leaned over to kiss her, not even finding her comment strange any more. He pulled her close and soon both were asleep.

When morning came, Chris was first to awake. He was still holding Darlene and she was snuggling herself into his body. He looked over at her sister sleeping on her back, naked except for the panties she wore. Chris did not move, he wanted Darlene to sleep longer if she would. He gave some thought to his situation here, glad in some ways that his other cousins had deserted him and that these sisters had found him. He was still a bit confused about life in these parts, but that confusion was starting to disappear. What he would have thought outrageous a week ago before coming here was now almost normal to his way of thinking. Darlene moved in her sleep, snuggling herself against him and rubbing her breasts over his chest. Chris gave a thought to another session in her pussy before they got up, but realized the girls had to be up early to get their chores done. As he was thinking this, he found Mazey had awakened. She looked over at him with her sister still sleeping in his arms. She smiled and offered "Mornin cousin Chris. Looks like Darlene had a good night."

Darlene started to stir as she noticed the small movements Chris was making and the words between him and her sister. She gave him a nice morning kiss, and then got up and both girls dressed for the new day. Chris would have liked to stay and sleep longer, he seemed to be getting lazy after the past few days of inactivity. He knew he could not, so got up and put on the overalls he had been wearing for the past day. The heat in the bedroom had not diminished any and Chris could tell this day would be another hot one.

The girls went out into the house and he could hear them talking with their parents. After a bit, Mazey came in with a biscuit and a piece of last night's blackberry pie. Chris had worked off last night's dinner and was grateful for anything to eat. He was also aware that anything he ate would be something out of another's mouth here in this house. Today he would have to get back to his Uncle Willie's place.

Chris heard the truck start and drive off, remembering that the girl's father drove to his customer's places. He had finished eating and knew the girls would be gone for several hours as they worked at their chores. He was sure this was a hard life and was grateful he did not have to do such work himself. As soon as he thought that, he was sorry for thinking it. His life had been pretty easy until now and he had not even thought that there might be those who had much more difficult lives. The fact that some of his close relatives were living that hard life was troubling to him.

Chris had been dozing for the past 2 hours, vaguely aware of voices and movements as he lay there. The girls had been working around the outside of the house and he could hear them talking to each other as they went about their tasks. He had been ignoring the bits of conversation as they worked about, but he heard Mazey inside the house speaking to someone. He assumed it was her mother, so ignored that as well. He was half asleep when the door to the bedroom opened and an older woman walked in. Chris had not expected the girls to be done with their chores so soon but opened his eyes to see which of them had come back. He was startled to see the woman and guessed she was his aunt. He jumped up, caught off guard at her entrance. She was also surprised to see someone in the room, but did not appear to be afraid as she looked at him sitting there.

"Jerry Lee! You come back!" she said with a big smile.

Her words took Chris by surprise, but as he thought about what she had said, he remembered that more than a few people had said he looked like a younger version of his father. Maybe she was remembering what her brother had looked like when he was younger and was confusing Chris with his father.

As Chris was wondering what to say, Mazey had heard the conversation and came running back into the bedroom.

"Momma..."

Before she could say more, her mother spoke. "Mazey, Jerry Lee is here. You ain't never really seen him, you bein so young when he left home."

Mazey responded to her mother "Momma, this ain't Jerry Lee, this is his boy Chris. Chris is here visitin us for a spell."

Chris was just sitting there wondering why she would confuse him with his father. He looked at her as she and Mazey spoke, she looked like an older version of her daughters, although shorter and thinner. She had gray streaks through her hair and she looked as though she had seen a very hard life. From what Chris had learned over the past couple of days, he could easily understand that kind of life.

Mazey again repeated what she had told her mother. "Momma, this isn't Jerry Lee, this is his boy Chris." Then to Chris she offered "Chris, this is our momma Loretta, she is your daddy's sister."

Chris said hello, adding that he was glad to meet his Aunt Loretta.

"Don't be callin me no auntie. I may be old, but that ain't who I am. You just call me Loretta or Loretta Lynn, everybody else does."

Chris said he would and then Loretta said he should come out into the main part of the house. Mazey nodded so Chris followed them out of the bedroom. He was glad he was no longer a prisoner in that room, but the rest of the house did not look to be much of an alternative. The house was small and even though it was neat, he knew they had a hard life there. The main room was not any cooler than the room he had just left so he traded one poor option for another. Still, he was glad he no longer needed to hide out in the bedroom. He wondered if his Aunt might question how he had come to be there, but she did not seem to consider that possibility.

Loretta asked her daughter to get Chris some sweet tea, so she left to find a glass to offer to her cousin. The tea was room temperature when Mazey brought it to him, but Chris drank it down, the liquid bringing a brief bit of relief from the heat of the day. Loretta kept looking at Chris as he sat sipping the tea. He was still wearing the overalls Mazey had offered him the first evening he had been a guest in the house, although he had not put on the shirt she found for him.

Loretta started "I'm so glad you come back to see me, Jerry lee. I missed you after you went off to join the service."

Chris was ready to correct her, but Mazey motioned for him to stay quiet. Chris remembered that she had said her mother sometimes got confused and he assumed that it was easier to just let her go rather than to confuse her more by trying to tell her she was wrong. He just nodded as she continued.

"You was always my favorite of the boys. You took care of me better'n the rest of them."

Chris was glad that his father had been a good brother to his sister. He would have been upset to find that his father was no better than Uncle Willie or maybe even Uncle Buck, though he had never met Buck.

"I remembers you takin me out to the swimmin hole when none of them others wanted to be bothered. You learned me how to swim, you said it was the oldest brother's job. I remembers what else you learned me, but I ain't never told nobody."

Chris and Mazey perked up as she had said the last.

Mazey asked "What did jerry lee teach you, Momma?"

Loretta looked at Chris a minute before replying. "I knowed you was fibbin when you told me it was your job to show me how to be a woman. I was only 14 and I liked you best so I didn't say nothing. Fo shore I wouldn't have my 2 darlin girls without you."

Chris wasn't sure what he had heard and even if he had heard right, what did she mean? "How did dad ... err, I help with Mazey and Darlene?"

Loretta had been sitting with her eyes on Chris, and now that she was talking more, he could see that her eyes were clear and she was remembering back to the days when she was a young girl.

"I remembers Pappy talking to you behind the shed. I was in the shed lookin fer eggs but I was listenin secret like. He told you that you was stupid fer fuckin your sister and knockin her up then doin it again. He said he should just cut your pecker off right there. I heared you telling him it waren't you, but he knew different. I knew different too, but I never told nobody. You went away right after that and now you is back."

Loretta had a big smile on her face, in contrast to the look of shock on Mazey's face. Chris was trying to digest what she had just said, his father was apparently the father of Darlene and Mazey. Chris couldn't find the words to speak even if he had been able.

Loretta was smiling as she looked at her oldest daughter. Chris could see the love in her eyes as she was reliving the time of her youth. She still thought he was his father come back after all these years and was sharing her secret with him.

Darlene came in and seeing her mother with Chris and Mazey in the front room, said "Momma..." before Mazey motioned for her to stop talking.

"Momma was just telling me and Jerry lee here about bein our mother. She was talking about Jerry Lee helping her when she was young."

Darlene looked confused, but Mazey signaled her to wait before she asked for clarification. Loretta was looking at Darlene with the same love in her eyes as she had been with Mazey a moment before.

The electric mood was broken by the sound of a vehicle coming up the drive fast with its horn blaring. Mazey and Darlene each went to the window and said that the truck belonged to Reverend Grady.

"Wonder what he is doin here today. He don't never come around unless something is goin on." Mazey offered.

The truck skidded to a stop and the man behind the wheel got out as the occupants of the house came out to the porch to greet him.

"Loretta Lynn, Darnell is hurt bad. He cut himself on some farm equipment he was workin on and they took him to the hospital."

Loretta seemed to lose the support of her legs, Mazey caught her as she was starting to slump down to the ground. She was tearing up and saying she needed to be with her husband. Mazey directed her to a chair and Darlene went inside to get her some water.

"I kin take you to the hospital." The older man suggested.

Darlene had returned with a glass for her mother and offered that Mazey should go with her. The truck would not allow all to fit so the 3 of them would make the trip to the local hospital. Mazey agreed, but Loretta was still having a tough time with the news.

"Come on Momma, we can go see Darnell now."

She helped her mother into the truck then got in beside her. Reverend Grady started the engine then put the truck into gear and spun the tires as he turned and headed back the way he had come in.

Chris and Darlene were left there by themselves, Darlene starting to cry herself. Chris wasn't sure what else to do so just put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him.

"I am sure he will be OK. Try not to worry."

Chris had never met Darnell, but knew he had been father to the girls for as long as they could remember. He understood why they might be upset at the news that he had been hurt.
