"Hey, kids!" George said getting sight of us, "come join!" Beth led me to an unoccupied love seat, and we were given Arnold Palmer's with vodka, also known as a John Daly.
"Hope you like it," Annie said to me with a smile. "I made them myself."
"It's kinda our signature drink around here," Richard said as I took a sip.
"It's very good," I told everyone, honestly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome!" Annie said with an even wider smile. I looked around at everyone and noticed that everyone was smiling at us.
I started wondering again what had Beth so worried. All these people seemed so friendly and nice. What the hell?
"Well, now that Ted's finally here," Cecilia said, "we finally get a chance to get to know the guy that captured our daughter's heart."
I'd expected a grilling, so this wasn't totally unforeseen.
I talked a bit about my family, upbringing, my major, and all the nitty gritty details. They all seemed very attentive, asking me follow up questions and seeming to show genuine interest. As lunch was served, buffet style with sandwiches and potato salad, George echoed this.
"Well, it certainly seems that Beth was right about you!" he said with a grin.
"Yeah, and he's even cuter than the pics she showed us," Diana said with a grin that made me blush. Cecilia saw that and started giggling.
"But seriously," Cecilia said with a smile, "it's nice to see you're not nervous about us or anything. I know Beth was very concerned about that."
"Well, you've all been so welcoming, it's kinda hard to be nervous," I said with a complementary smile.
"Well, you never know," Cecilia said flippantly. "Beth's the first of the kids that've felt comfortable bringing someone here. No one else has met everyone that they trust enough. Even with the non-disclosures."
"Wow," I said, flashing a smile to Beth, who looked a little nervous.
"So, how did you react when you found out?" Annie asked.
"Honestly, it didn't affect me at all," I replied, noticing everyone looking at me curiously. "I mean it's not really of any consequence to me that Beth comes from money. I'm still a gentleman and pay or offer to pay, whenever."
I noticed Beth still looking nervous and her family looking slightly perplexed.
"Well, that's all well and good," George said, sitting up a bit. "From what Beth told us about you, we kinda figured you weren't after money," he said with a warm smile. "No, I think Cecilia meant when she told you about the family activities."
It was now my turn to look confused. The family all saw it and looked at Beth who turned beet red.
"You didn't tell him?!" Diana said, maybe louder than was probably necessary.
"Tell me what?" I asked.
"Beth!" Cecilia said in a reproaching tone. "How could you not tell him before you brought him here?!"
"There didn't seem to be a good time," Beth said not looking anyone in the eye.
"Tell me what?" I asked again. "Is everything ok?"
The family all looked around at each other with George and Cecilia both seeming to send each other silent signals. They nodded and turned back to me.
"I apologize, Ted," George said, "we assumed our daughter told you everything before you came," he added, staring down Beth who looked ashamed.
"What's going on?" I asked, trying to get anyone to answer me.
"You see," Cecilia said leaning in toward me, "our family has always been exceptionally close. Going back to George's great-grandfather and mine. Our families both came from the same village in the Scottish isles and brought their traditions with them to the states."
"Ok..." I replied, still having no idea where she was going with this. "Why is that a problem?"
"Well, the nature of the closeness we have with each other," she said, hesitating slightly while looking over her family members, "may make outside society squeamish."
Apparently, the look on my face was clear enough that I still had no idea what they were talking about. Beth saw this and decided to stand up.
"Oh for Christ's sake!" she said trembling with what seemed a mix of anger and fear, "we fuck each other!"
"Beth!" George and Cecilia screamed out while I was certain Beth misspoke.
"What? It's true," Beth said almost huffing. "You wanted me to tell Ted the truth, so there you go!" she said sitting back down next to her sisters, not looking even remotely in my general direction.
"What is she talking about?" I said, my brain still not connecting or thinking I misheard.
"Ted," Cecilia said, now sitting where Beth had been next to me, "our family is intimate with each other." My eyes went wide, and I was about to say something, before Cecilia continued. "In both our families," she said indicating George, "once a person in a family is of legal age, they are allowed to "be" with other people in the family."
"Uh...uhh...uhhh..." was all that was coming out of my mouth and George picked up where his wife left off.
"See, Ted," he said leaning over, "our families picked up this practice in the Scottish isles, being isolated from some of the more "mainstream" parts of society. Since it promoted family unity and didn't hurt anyone, they saw no reason to continue the practice here. Secretly, of course," he added, mockingly putting a finger to his lips.
I could feel my pulse racing and my breathing getting heavy. I looked over the faces of their children, all either nodding or in some way acknowledging what their parents said was accurate. The only one not looking directly at me was Beth, her head hanging down.
"So," I said, not looking at anyone, "just so I'm clear and I know I didn't misinterpreted what you said. You're all telling me," I said taking another deep breath, "that you all have sex with each other. Right?"
"Yes, Ted," Diana chirped up, leaning closer to me. "We all engage in sex with each other." The other kids all nodded again while Beth still had her head down.
"Beth?!" I said, maybe louder than I should've to try and get her attention. She looked up quickly and met my eyes. She looked ashamed and teary. "So, when you've been coming home these last two years, you've been having sex with your family?"
Beth said nothing, just slowly nodding her head.
"So, you've been cheating on me for two years?!" I affirmed, my temper starting to get out of hand.
"Ted, we don't really consider it cheating within the family," Cecilia said.
"Really?!" I said looking at no one again. I stood up and went over to Beth, standing right in front of her. "You've lied to me, you've cheated on me, and I don't even know what else. The fact that it was your family just adds icing on the cake!"
"Ted, I swear I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how. I couldn't find the words," Beth said through tears. I breathing hard and was pissed, but my brain was still working.
"So, you decided this was the best solution?" I said, indicating to her parents. "Making them tell me the truth because you were too much of a chicken shit?"
"Now, Ted..." George said, trying to calm the situation down.
"No, it's the truth," I shot back before he could even start. This guy had more money than God, and I just told him off in his own home. I turned back toward Beth. "You've lied to me and humiliated me. You either didn't love me enough to tell me the truth or you didn't respect me enough. God only knows who else..."
"No one!" Beth said now getting to her feet. "Baby, I swear. Since we've been together, I've only been with you and," she paused looking over at her parents and siblings, "them..."
"And just how in the hell am I supposed to believe that?" I said to her. "How can I believe anything you say?!"
I looked her in the eye and could see immediately she knew I was right. I looked over at her family and they all seemed to, at some level, acknowledge my point.
"Love can't exist without trust," I told Beth, "and now I can't trust you."
"Ted..." Beth said with a worried look.
"I need to take a walk," I said, cutting her off. I looked back at her family, "excuse me." I than went down the patio stairs and off into the gardens.
"Ted, please!" Beth almost screamed as I started walking.
"Beth, let him go," I heard from her father, "quite frankly, I don't blame him."
"Dad's right," I heard Richard say, a bit fainter. "Ted's got every right to be mad."
"What the hell were you thinking?" was the last thing I heard from Annie before I was out of earshot.
Hearing that was almost as big a shock to me as anything else. I yelled at their daughter and sister, and her family was backing me! I got it out of my head and just kept walking, cursing aloud and having imaginary shouting sessions with people who weren't there.
In a million years, I wouldn't've thought Beth would be capable of cheating on me. For some reason, and I have no clue why, the fact that it was with her own family didn't even really bother me. It almost seemed like the least important of the issues that I had with Beth right now. She'd lied to me and led me like a lamb to slaughter to her whole family, after years together.
I don't know how long I walked, but I eventually found the family's private beach and shoreline. The water always calmed me, so I stood on the shore and inhaled the sea air for a few minutes. In and out until I could feel the anger start to fade away.
My brain than switched to practical side. How am I gonna get out of here? Will they fly me home? Where am I gonna live since Beth and I were both on the lease. My mind was spinning out all of this when I heard a quiet voice.
"Ted?" Beth said meekly as I turned around and saw her standing about 10 yards from me up the beach.
"How the hell did you find me?" I asked, irritated. "Did you have me followed?!"
"No!" she said defensively. "No, I just..."
"Just what?" I said, trying to get her to go away.
"I just know how much you like the water, so I took the chance you'd be here." I rolled my eyes at her.
"I really don't wanna see you right now," I said turning back toward the water.
"Can I just talk, then?" she asked. "You don't have to look at me, just listen."
"Go ahead," I said, giving up. "Clearly, you're gonna do whatever the fuck you want anyway."
"Ok, I know you're mad," Beth said gingerly.
"No shit!" I said bitterly. "The woman that I thought was going to be my ride or die has been cheating on me for two years. Yeah, I'm a little perturbed."
"Babe, I know I should've told you," Beth said slowly and quietly. "Especially after you signed the NDA, but you gotta know I was scared."
"Oh, you were scared?!" I said with sarcasm dripping. "Be still my heart..."
"Ted, please!" she said in a pleading voice. "I wanted to tell you, but I just didn't know how. It's not like there's a simple way to bring up this topic."
"And how the fuck is that my problem?!" I said turning around, getting angry again. "I'm supposed to care about how you would feel telling me about you spreading your legs to your family and God only knows who else!" I said in a rage, before coming to a realization. "Jesus, I'm gonna have to get tested."
"Ted!" Beth said, almost begging. "Please believe me, only my family. No one else. We all get tested, so you're safe. Please know I would never put you in that kind of danger."
"I'm supposed to believe that how?" I said gesticulating into the air. "What part of me is supposed to now suddenly know you're telling the truth?"
She looked down in shame, tears coming down her face.
"Baby, please!" Beth said coming up and grabbing my hands. "I know I hurt you. I know I should've told you the moment you signed the NDA. But please, don't do anything rash yet!"
"Look," I said, my head swarming, but the anger easing a bit, "I get why you wouldn't tell me before I signed the NDA. It's your family and you have to protect them, I get it," I said while taking a deep breath. "But once I signed it, you should've told me everything."
"Honestly, Ted," she said not really looking me in the eye, "I couldn't think how to. And even if I did, would you have taken it any better than you just did?"
"Yes," I told her emphatically.
"Really?" she said quizzically and skeptically.
"I would've been pissed and confused," I admitted, "but at least I wouldn't've had a meltdown in front of the rest of your family. After years, you finally bring up to meet them and you throw all this shit at me. I just yelled at them in their own fucking house! I can only imagine how pissed they're at with me."
"Oh, they're not," Beth snapped quickly. "They're really pissed at me though. Mom, Dad, even my brother and sisters. They all think I really screwed up with you."
"Gee, I wonder why..." I said bitterly. Than Beth surprised me and got to her knees.
"Ted, please!" she said with tears in her eyes. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and you've made me so happy. I'll do anything to keep you! Anything to build our trust and love back."
I took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. They looked so sad and innocent, I almost felt sorry for her. Almost...
"Just tell me what your plan was here," I said with frustration as I got her off her knees. "What was your plan? Bring me here, let your family go off and fuck your brains out, while I sat outside with a John Daly and watched the clouds?!"
"No, not at all," she said quickly. "I guess I hoped that they'd be flirty with you. Get you interested first before the landmine was dropped."
"Why would them being flirty with me help?" I asked, completely lost.
"Cause than maybe you'd wanna join in," she said with an almost hopeful tick.
"Wait, what?!" I said completely blown.
"Well, yeah," she said as if it was obvious, "that's part of it. We don't bring anyone to the family until we know we'd want them to join in. You didn't think you would be left out, did you?"
"I...uh..." I now had nothing. She'd done a complete 180 on me. I'd thought she just brought me here and told me she and her family would be having sex while I was here. Not for a single second did it occur to me that they'd want me to join in.
"Baby, that's why we came," Beth said, grasping on to me. "I hated hiding this from you and for that I will do whatever it takes. But I brought you here because you're the one I wanna spend the rest of my life with. Truly. I wanted to show you what it would really be like with all of us."
My head was spinning now. She was now saying that she'd be fine with me fucking her family right along with her. I felt my anger subside and my confusion firmly set in. Would I really be willing to do that? I mean, maybe as getting back at Beth, but even that feeling was leaving me. I looked at my gorgeous goddess of a girlfriend I had. At least, for the moment.
"Babe," Beth asked, trying to get him out of his own head, "what are you thinking?"
"Honestly," I replied with none of the malice of previous in my voice, "I don't even know."
"Ok," Beth said hesitantly, "that's good." I looked at her in disbelief. "No, it's good. That means at least that your mind is open to this. At least a little."
"I uh," said, still searching for words. "I mean... what do you want?"
"I want us to be together forever," Beth said emphatically. "I love you so much! These two years together have made me so happy. You make me happy!" she said hugging me tight. "Look," she said after releasing me, "I get that my family is weird. Trust me, when each of us found out about the family history, it was mind-blowing. But it can also be tender, loving, and well honestly," she said squirming, "fun."
"So, wait?" I said trying to get a hold of my senses, "you're family wants me to," looking for a good word for this, "uh, "join" in?"
"Of course, babe!" she said with confidence. "That's the whole idea. My family was trying to convince me for a while to bring you into it. They know how I feel about you and we want you to be a part of it with us."
"Uhm," I said trying to get my head to reattach to my body. My girlfriend fucking her family and lying about it was one thing, but now she wanted me to join in?! I started thinking would I be doing it for revenge or because I wanted to? All the women in her family were admittedly attractive. Turnabout fair play?
"Threw too much at you?" Beth asked slightly worried. I gave her a look that basically said that was the dumbest questions she could've asked. "Please baby, I have to make this right."
"How?!" I said with general anger.
"Look I know I have to rebuild your trust and I think I have an idea," she said with the hint of a prayer. "You can be with my family and me," she said hesitantly, "but I won't be with Dad or Rich until you say I can."
It almost sounded fair, but it wasn't enough.
"None of them," I countered, with her looking shocked. "I'll go along with this for now, but until I say different, the only person you're having sex with is me. When and if I feel like it." She stood there like a deer in the headlights. I knew she liked girls, but I didn't know it went that deep.
"Um..."
"Take it or leave it," I told her, setting my terms fully. "Cause I'm walking in ten seconds." It may have been harsh, but under the circumstances, I felt it was completely fair.
"Ok!" she said quickly and almost regretfully. "No one but you until you say so. I'm not sure they're gonna be ok with it."
"Let me worry about that," I told her with confidence. "Let's go back."
We walked back to the main house in silence or damn near it. I saw all of her family talking up on the porch. Hannah was the first to spot me and I could hear her tell her family loudly, all of them leaning over to look at us. They could clearly see that while we were walking together, Beth was keeping her distance from me, and my hands were in my pockets. I walked up and saw a mix of concern, anxiety, and intrigue.
"Ted, we're glad you came back," George said warmly. "I was worried you'd run off for good. I even had Kenny get the jet on standby just in case."
"We really didn't mean to scare you off," Cecilia said with equal conviction.
"It wasn't your fault," I told them clearly. I saw Beth hang her head a bit as I turned back to the family.
"It was mine, and I know it," Beth said. "I'm really sorry everyone."
"Well, I'm surprised that you came back, for one," Diana said. "I don't know that I would've if someone had done to me what Beth did to you."
"Di, I get it," Beth said defensively as her mother jumped in-between the two.
"Ok, we all know Beth screwed up," she said matronly. "That's not the issue right now. We're concerned about Ted now and the way forward." She stepped forward toward both of us. "Ted, I know you had the world fall on you. But just know that we're all here for you."
"Yeah, we are," Annie spouted with a smile and wink.
"Look," Cecilia said, looking back reproachingly to her daughter, "we know it's a lot to process and you need time. We can set you up in your own room away from Beth if you need time for yourself. If you wanna leave, you can."
"Mother!" Beth said agitated.
"Beth, it's your fault we're in this mess!" her mother told her scoldingly. "How could you do that to him?! Seriously?! Everything you've ever told us about him was how nice, sweet, and affectionate he is."
"Pretty good in the sack too," Hannah added. I went red and she winked at me.
"I know I fucked up and I'm sorry. Ted and I have already talked about how to make it right."
"And what's that?" Richard asked.
"Babe?" Beth said looking up at me. I took a deep breath.
"First, I wanna apologize to you all for storming off like that and speaking to you all the way I did." I heard a slew of "no's and "not at all's from them all while I continued. "I know, but I still should've handled myself better."
"Son," George said, "you didn't break anything or curse us out. Quite frankly, considering how all this got dumped on you, I think you took it pretty well."
"Thanks," I said rubbing my neck a bit. "Look, I have a lot of questions about all this and it may take me some time to get a real handle on it all," I admitted. "But I'm willing to keep an open mind, if that's ok?"
"Oh, wonderful!" Cecilia said, giving me another hug. "I'm so glad! We promise, we'll take it slow with you and answer any questions you have. Nothing is off the table, I assure you."
"We'll try not to shock you too much you're first day," Diana added with a wink.
"It's normally Beth that's the worst with that," Richard said smiling with everyone else laughing. I looked at Beth who blushed again and decided to speak.
"Well that won't be an issue now," she said looking down at the ground again.
"What do you mean?" George asked.
"To help to ease Ted into this," she started, "and to rebuild our trust, I'm not going to be available until Ted says so."
It hit like a thunderbolt to the family, but the reaction I got was very surprising. Her parents were nodding in approval.
"I think that's very fair considering," Cecelia said.
"I agree," George replied. "Kids?"
"Well," Richard pipped up, "it sucks for obvious reasons," he said, making me remember again how many times he probably fucked my girlfriend, "but I think Ted deserves that."
"I'd say so," Hannah said with a smirk, coming up to me, "don't worry, sis," she said talking to Beth while wrapping an arm around me, "we'll take good care of him."
"Hey! I didn't..." was all Beth was able to get out before her mother stopped her.
"You got yourself into this," Cecilia charged her daughter. "You agreed that you'd let Ted take part. That was the whole idea, right?"
I looked at Beth and saw her frown, but nod. Apparently, my girlfriend was gonna share me all along with her family, and she would be left out, for now. Cecilia came up to me.
"Ted, just so you know there's no pressure," she said warmly. "You do what feels comfortable for you. We'll try and restrain ourselves from being too overt among all of us."
"No, it's ok," I replied, shocking everyone it seemed, Beth especially. "Look, I don't wanna put you guys out any more than I already have. You trusted me enough to invite me here, so I guess I should see what I'm in for. Especially if Beth wants me around for a while."
"Good on you," George said approvingly. "Beth, I see why you speak so highly of him."
This caused Beth to have a slight smile, while the rest of the family all seemed pleased with my answer. Beth came up and talked into my ear.
"I want you around forever," she said. "I'll prove it to you, I swear."
"Well, gang," Cecilia said, throwing an arm around Richard and Annie, "guess we can get back to normal around here."
"Yes!" Hannah said as she started stripping off her clothes, right then and there. Her sleek thin body was soon exposed to the world as her perky, B-cup breasts came free. I noticed that she was looking directly at me the whole time she was stripping, even turning around and bending over as her shorts came down and showed her bubble butt to everyone, but clearly to me as she looked over her shoulder and winked at me. I was stunned and aroused all at the same time.
I looked over the faces of the rest of the family as she finished and not one of them seemed put off by it. Cecilia just smiled while George and Richard grinned. Beth put her hand to her face, not seeming to believe her family was being so brazen with me. I started thinking why she should be embarrassed, I'm the newbie here.
"What do you think, Ted?" she said striking model poses. While not as gifted up top as her older sisters, her body was tight as a drum with her bubble butt looking quite tantalizing.
"You look beautiful," I said in a tone that appreciated her looks, but hopefully not enough to make Beth too jealous. Then again, why should I try and make her feel better?! She'd probably seen her naked thousands of times and probably slept with her plenty too. Hannah smiled at the complement.
"Thank you," she said in a drawn out, girly tone.
"Hannah's definitely the exhibitionist of the family," George explained. "Even when she was little, it was tough keeping clothes on her."
"If you got it, flaunt it," I said, reciting a line from the movie "The Producers". Beth just looked at me while everyone else laughed, Diana really hard.
"I love that movie!" she said, still recovering from her laughing.
"He does too," Beth said, seeming to try and remind her sister's that I was there with her. "It's one of his favorites."
"Oh, we should watch it tonight," Cecilia suggested warmly. "Well, how about we all go for a nice swim before dinner?" she suggested. Everyone agreed, including Beth and me. Annie than spoke up.
"Does he know the rules about the water?" Annie asked Beth, getting my attention.
"Ann, Beth didn't tell him anything and you think she told him that?" Richard pipped up.
"What rules?" I asked.
"Simple," Hannah said, "you have to be dressed like me," twirling around again to show her body. My eyes went wide again
"We find it makes for a more relaxing experience," George replied.
"More fun too," Cecilia echoed with a grin. George nodded at her, smiling as she turned back to me. "But I think we should wave the rule for Ted here," she said getting boos from the rest of the kids, save Beth. "We don't want to overwhelm the boy any more than we already have."
"Awww..." Diana said with disappointment.
"You just want to see him naked," Beth shot out.
"Damn right!" she snapped back.
"Well, you heard Mom," Beth said, thinking she had won. I quickly made a decision.
"No, it's ok," I replied getting smiles from the girls and surprise from the guys and Beth. "I don't mind."
"Oh, wonderful," Cecilia said with a smile. "You can either strip out upstairs or there's a change house over there," she said pointing over to a small hut.
"I'll just go to the hut," I replied.
"Good!" George said. "I'll have them bring some towels out and sunscreen," George said, going into the house to get a staff member. Everyone else except Beth and Hannah went inside to change out. I headed over to the hut when Beth stopped me.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked me.
"It's not like I haven't been skinny dipping before," I told her, having gone camping with her in the past.
"But..." Beth said before Hannah cut her off.
"Yeah, what's the big deal, sis?" Hannah said coming right up against me. "Afraid he'll like it too much?"
Beth didn't have a reply for Hannah, very unusual for her, because she always had some kind of comeback for anyone. She must've sensed there was little point in continuing to argue as she went with me over to the hut as Hannah went to the pool.
"Why did you agree to this?" Beth said as she started undoing her sundress, "Mom gave you an out."
"Cause I need to know what I'm in for," I replied, taking off my shirt. "Look, despite the last few hours, I do love you." Her eyes brightened at hearing that.
"Really?" she said with a hopeful gaze and a tear as she slid her dress down, leaving her flawless body completely exposed.
"I do," I replied, trying not to get hard from the sight of her beautiful bod. Even after two years, it didn't take much more for her to turn me on then letting me see it. "Don't get me wrong, I'm still royally pissed at you and you are gonna be in the doghouse for a while," I said, causing her to frown, "but I do think that you will at least try to rebuild the trust we had."
"Oh, I will," she said hurriedly, hugging me while I was only in boxers now. "I promise, babe, no one but you until you say so."
"Ok," I said as I slipped off the shorts, exposing my half-chub.
"And just so we're clear," she said, still hugging me, "I won't stop you or my family if you want to be with any of them. It's only fair."
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," I said, not totally sure how far I would take all this.
"It'll probably come sooner than you think," Beth said, almost exasperated, "I know all my sisters want a piece of you. Probably Mom too."
"What makes you say that?" I replied, trying to hide the male bravado that was coursing through me.
"They'd seen pics of you and heard about some of our "exploits"," she said. "They've been wanting me to bring you here for a long time."
"Wow," was all I could think to say, bringing Beth back to me.
"Don't forget," she said full of her usual confidence, now restored, "you're leaving with me," she said, than seeming to remember some of the issues we had in front of us as I glared at her. "At least, I hope so."
She left it at that and went out, giving her ass a light smack as she left. That last part did nothing to hide my half chub, which was growing a bit more now. I peeked out of the hut and saw Beth get in and join Hannah who was already splashing around. I figured I'd be safest if I just dashed in while everyone else was still inside. I dashed into the water and jumped in, creating a good splash behind me.
I emerged from the water and saw Hannah very close to me.
"Nice dash to the pool!" she said with a bubbly voice. "Beth, I definitely saw enough to see that you are a lucky girl."
I blushed and saw Beth blush too as Hannah came even closer.
"So, did you mean what you said before?" she asked me.
"About what?" I said, genuinely not knowing what she exactly meant.
"About you having an open mind?" Hannah asked.
"I did," I replied, matter-of-factly.
"So does that mean I get a sample?" she asked now right up against me and her hand resting on my cock.
"Hannah!" Beth said, almost violently.
"What?!" Hannah asked, shooting her sister a look. "It's good enough for you, but not for Ted?!"
I had to admit, Hannah had an excellent point and even Beth seemed to acknowledge it, hanging her head. Hannah was gonna fondle further when the rest of the family came out en-masse.
All the women looked stunning, even her mother. They all looked toned, fit, and incredible. Even the men looked at the top of their game, even though my focus was not on them. I noticed that neither were hard, despite all the naked flesh near them, me assuming they were both used to it by now.
"Well," George said in his gregarious manner, "I see you got him used to our pool and spa attire."
"Good for you!" Cecilia said encouragingly, her heavy breasts bouncing a bit as she did.
"What's the appraisal, sis?" Annie asked, clearly directing her question at Hannah rather than Beth.
"I likey," Hannah said while still fondling me under the water. I was starting to get hard when Richard broke the tension with a cannonball, everyone laughing as we all got soaked. The rest of the family all got in with less drama and soon it felt like a normal pool day.
For about 30 seconds, that is. I noticed that Diana and Annie were both moving closer to me, and Cecilia wasn't far away either. Beth was close to me as well, maybe trying to ward off her sisters. It was a strange dance to say the least, watching one of the girls move closer and Beth seeming to block them off.
George broke it up by getting a pool ball and throwing it around, a simple catch game where we were encouraged to spread out. This gave me some relief as Cecilia and Beth both flanked me as we played. It very much seemed that Beth's sisters, whenever they threw the ball at me, were trying to make me reach for it or dive out of the pool. Luckily, I have pretty good reflexes and I was able to stay in the water for the most part.
After a while of doing that, Richard got some music playing and everyone started getting out pool floats. George just laid on a floating lounger, his cock just above the water line, soft. The girls all seemed to be chit chatting, all shooting me occasional glances, as if to ensure I knew I was the main topic of conversation.
"Having fun?" Richard said, coming over with a fresh drink for me.
"So far, so good," I replied taking the drink from him.
"Still freaked out?" he asked. It was obvious to me from his tone that he was actually trying to show concern.
"Not as much," I said honestly. "Honestly, you guys all seem so comfortable with each other and that makes a lot of this easier to deal with."
"Yeah, we certainly are a tight family," he said with sarcasm, knowing I knew what he meant. "I mean, honestly, we all freaked out when we first heard about the family traditions. Well, everyone except Diana who found out when she was a teenager, sneaking in on a family party."
"That probably required some therapy," I quipped.
"Not really," Richard said. "I think it was more a turn on for her than anything, but you'd have to ask her. The rest of us, it took a couple of days for us to get used to the idea. Well, except Hannah. She practically shoved Dad's cock down her throat while ordering me to lick her cunt."
"Did they force you to get it to this?" I asked. "Join or be banished?"
"No, not at all," Richard said quickly, but also in a tone that made me realize he was telling the truth. "Mom and Dad made it clear from the get-go that this was up to us and no one had to do anything they didn't want to. As far as I know, the girls got the same talk and were told the same thing."
"So how long did it take you to give in?" I asked him.
"Honestly," Richard said almost embarrassed. "It was the same night. Diana was in there with Mom and Dad, and she was teasing me the whole time. I'd always found her hot and when I learned that she was down for it, I signed up. Although Mom went first though," he said almost wistfully, "tradition."
It was mind blowing to me that this guy was admitting to being hot for his sister even before he learned that he could fuck her. But then again, not having any sisters, I really had nothing to compare it to.
"Does it weird you out any?" I asked him, figuring if he was in a chatty mood, I could get more questions answered that Beth may be more reluctant to share.
"Of course, it did at first," Richard said honestly. "I mean, sex whenever you want is pretty awesome to say the least, but it was weird at first, especially since we still had to hide it from Beth, Annie, and Hannah. Once everyone was involved, it just kinda became normal. It may seem weird, but honestly after a while, you kinda forget that the rest of the world thinks it's strange."
"Huh," was all I could think to say.
"So, just between you and me," Richard said getting closer so that no one else could hear, "how pissed are you at Beth?"
I took a deep breath pondering my answer.
"Pissed," I replied softly. "I mean honestly, if she'd warned me a little about any of this or tell me from the beginning she wanted an open relationship..."
"Well, I get the part about the warning," Richard said understandingly. "You have no idea how bad everyone laid into her for how she handled this. We all assumed that she'd have told you after you signed the NDA. Or the plane. Or something. But to make us out it all for you," he said looking up to the heavens, "that's fucking brutal."
"No shit," I replied.
"As far as the open relationship thing, I know it's weird but that's really not what it is. It's only among the family or those about to be family. It's open season for everybody," he said. "In the family's eyes, it's not really cheating in the way you think. Actually, there's never been a "true" case of adultery ever in the family."
I started to protest, but Richard stopped me.
"I get it," Richard said sympathetically, "you feel betrayed. But just know that it wasn't betrayal in her mind. It's just family sharing. You have no idea how much she talked you up every time she came home. She really is head over heels for you."
Strange as that was to hear from the brother of my girlfriend who'd probably plowed her more times than I could count, it was actually strangely comforting to hear that she'd propped me up to her family.
"What are you guys talking about?" Annie said coming over to us, our bro time coming to an end.
"Just talking about the family and stuff," Richard said, trying to dismiss the question. Diana wasn't having any of it, hearing only that they were possibly talking about her apparently, joining Annie's side.
"So, what did my little brother say about me?" she asked bopping around in the water, showing me her chest in the process. While maybe not quite as gifted up top as Beth was, it was close. Her perky C cups were dancing in the water as she came up to us and came beside me.
"I didn't say we were talking about you, Di," Richard countered.
"Hmmm," was all she said as she turned her attention back to me. "So Ted, are you having a good time?"
"I think so," I replied. "It was a bit of a rocky start."
"Yeah," she said in a forlorn way, but not an entirely convincing one as she continued. "Beth really fucked you over. But don't worry," she said, pressing her body into mine, "I'll help you get back at her."
"Di..." Richard said, seeming to look out for me.
"What?" she said as if clueless, "I just want to help."
"Diana..." I heard from Cecilia, who was now swimming toward us, obviously having heard something.
"What?" she said looking at her mother, while still pressing into me.
"Will you go help your sister, please?" she said in a friendly, but forceful tone. Diana gave me a kiss on the cheek as she got out of the pool, ensuring I got a full view of her ass and bare pussy as she did.
"Sorry about her," Cecilia said as Richard went to get a fresh drink.
"No, no, it's ok," I told her.
"I think she's had a bit of a crush on you from the time Beth first showed us your picture."
"Oh," was all I said. Then I noticed Cecilia was moving closer to me.
"If I'm being honest, I can't really blame her." She started moving even closer. "My daughter has very good taste."
"Thank...thank you," I got out while I felt her breasts starting to push against my arm.
"I certainly hope you are starting to feel comfortable with us," she said quietly. "I know it wasn't the easiest introduction, but I certainly hope we can make up for it."
"Sure," was all I could mumble out.
"Well, maybe we could..." Cecilia started before George came up.
"Say, Ted," he said with a big smile on his face, even as his naked wife was practically on top of me, "mind if I borrow you for a moment?"
"Of course," I said quickly as Cecilia seemed to reluctantly let me go. He gave me a fresh drink as we floated on the edge of the pool.
"Just wanted to check in on you," he said with his friendly demeanor, "I know you've had one heck of a day."
"That's putting it mildly, sir," I told him honestly. He chuckled a bit.
"Yeah, I can only imagine," he said cheerfully, taking a sip. "I also thought I'd give you a bit more cover with the girls," he said in a caring fashion. "I'm sure you've noticed the attention they're giving you, even Mrs. *******."
"It's uh..." I said, not really knowing how to respond.
"They haven't had new blood for a while and the girls get a bit competitive. Since you gave them the ok to act normal around you, I'd be surprised if they don't start getting more aggressive."
"What should I do?" I asked, looking for advice.
"Well, that's up to you," he said after thinking it over. "If you want to move slower with getting into our lifestyle or your still unsure, hold off until tomorrow. Of course, if you have a desire and/or want to "punish" Beth a bit, really any of the girls are great choices."
I bristled a bit at this, in the back of my head thinking about how he'd had sex with Beth probably dozens of times. Then I switched back to thinking about how this man was basically offering up his wife and other daughters to satisfy me.
"Do you mind if I ask how it all works?" I asked him in an innocent a tone as I could. He nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I guess we didn't really cover that..." he said, rubbing the back of his head. "Basically, if you have an interest in someone, just ask. Of course, everyone has the right to say no, but I'll be honest, it's pretty rare. Normally, we'd just go to a free room in the house and do what we'd like, sometimes it's a bit more in the open if someone wants to put on a bit of a show. If you're wondering if it's every just an outright orgy all the time, we really only do that for holidays or special occasions. Of course, sometimes those special occasions are the arrival of Thursday," he said with a chuckle.
"Hope you like it," Annie said to me with a smile. "I made them myself."
"It's kinda our signature drink around here," Richard said as I took a sip.
"It's very good," I told everyone, honestly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome!" Annie said with an even wider smile. I looked around at everyone and noticed that everyone was smiling at us.
I started wondering again what had Beth so worried. All these people seemed so friendly and nice. What the hell?
"Well, now that Ted's finally here," Cecilia said, "we finally get a chance to get to know the guy that captured our daughter's heart."
I'd expected a grilling, so this wasn't totally unforeseen.
I talked a bit about my family, upbringing, my major, and all the nitty gritty details. They all seemed very attentive, asking me follow up questions and seeming to show genuine interest. As lunch was served, buffet style with sandwiches and potato salad, George echoed this.
"Well, it certainly seems that Beth was right about you!" he said with a grin.
"Yeah, and he's even cuter than the pics she showed us," Diana said with a grin that made me blush. Cecilia saw that and started giggling.
"But seriously," Cecilia said with a smile, "it's nice to see you're not nervous about us or anything. I know Beth was very concerned about that."
"Well, you've all been so welcoming, it's kinda hard to be nervous," I said with a complementary smile.
"Well, you never know," Cecilia said flippantly. "Beth's the first of the kids that've felt comfortable bringing someone here. No one else has met everyone that they trust enough. Even with the non-disclosures."
"Wow," I said, flashing a smile to Beth, who looked a little nervous.
"So, how did you react when you found out?" Annie asked.
"Honestly, it didn't affect me at all," I replied, noticing everyone looking at me curiously. "I mean it's not really of any consequence to me that Beth comes from money. I'm still a gentleman and pay or offer to pay, whenever."
I noticed Beth still looking nervous and her family looking slightly perplexed.
"Well, that's all well and good," George said, sitting up a bit. "From what Beth told us about you, we kinda figured you weren't after money," he said with a warm smile. "No, I think Cecilia meant when she told you about the family activities."
It was now my turn to look confused. The family all saw it and looked at Beth who turned beet red.
"You didn't tell him?!" Diana said, maybe louder than was probably necessary.
"Tell me what?" I asked.
"Beth!" Cecilia said in a reproaching tone. "How could you not tell him before you brought him here?!"
"There didn't seem to be a good time," Beth said not looking anyone in the eye.
"Tell me what?" I asked again. "Is everything ok?"
The family all looked around at each other with George and Cecilia both seeming to send each other silent signals. They nodded and turned back to me.
"I apologize, Ted," George said, "we assumed our daughter told you everything before you came," he added, staring down Beth who looked ashamed.
"What's going on?" I asked, trying to get anyone to answer me.
"You see," Cecilia said leaning in toward me, "our family has always been exceptionally close. Going back to George's great-grandfather and mine. Our families both came from the same village in the Scottish isles and brought their traditions with them to the states."
"Ok..." I replied, still having no idea where she was going with this. "Why is that a problem?"
"Well, the nature of the closeness we have with each other," she said, hesitating slightly while looking over her family members, "may make outside society squeamish."
Apparently, the look on my face was clear enough that I still had no idea what they were talking about. Beth saw this and decided to stand up.
"Oh for Christ's sake!" she said trembling with what seemed a mix of anger and fear, "we fuck each other!"
"Beth!" George and Cecilia screamed out while I was certain Beth misspoke.
"What? It's true," Beth said almost huffing. "You wanted me to tell Ted the truth, so there you go!" she said sitting back down next to her sisters, not looking even remotely in my general direction.
"What is she talking about?" I said, my brain still not connecting or thinking I misheard.
"Ted," Cecilia said, now sitting where Beth had been next to me, "our family is intimate with each other." My eyes went wide, and I was about to say something, before Cecilia continued. "In both our families," she said indicating George, "once a person in a family is of legal age, they are allowed to "be" with other people in the family."
"Uh...uhh...uhhh..." was all that was coming out of my mouth and George picked up where his wife left off.
"See, Ted," he said leaning over, "our families picked up this practice in the Scottish isles, being isolated from some of the more "mainstream" parts of society. Since it promoted family unity and didn't hurt anyone, they saw no reason to continue the practice here. Secretly, of course," he added, mockingly putting a finger to his lips.
I could feel my pulse racing and my breathing getting heavy. I looked over the faces of their children, all either nodding or in some way acknowledging what their parents said was accurate. The only one not looking directly at me was Beth, her head hanging down.
"So," I said, not looking at anyone, "just so I'm clear and I know I didn't misinterpreted what you said. You're all telling me," I said taking another deep breath, "that you all have sex with each other. Right?"
"Yes, Ted," Diana chirped up, leaning closer to me. "We all engage in sex with each other." The other kids all nodded again while Beth still had her head down.
"Beth?!" I said, maybe louder than I should've to try and get her attention. She looked up quickly and met my eyes. She looked ashamed and teary. "So, when you've been coming home these last two years, you've been having sex with your family?"
Beth said nothing, just slowly nodding her head.
"So, you've been cheating on me for two years?!" I affirmed, my temper starting to get out of hand.
"Ted, we don't really consider it cheating within the family," Cecilia said.
"Really?!" I said looking at no one again. I stood up and went over to Beth, standing right in front of her. "You've lied to me, you've cheated on me, and I don't even know what else. The fact that it was your family just adds icing on the cake!"
"Ted, I swear I was going to tell you. I just didn't know how. I couldn't find the words," Beth said through tears. I breathing hard and was pissed, but my brain was still working.
"So, you decided this was the best solution?" I said, indicating to her parents. "Making them tell me the truth because you were too much of a chicken shit?"
"Now, Ted..." George said, trying to calm the situation down.
"No, it's the truth," I shot back before he could even start. This guy had more money than God, and I just told him off in his own home. I turned back toward Beth. "You've lied to me and humiliated me. You either didn't love me enough to tell me the truth or you didn't respect me enough. God only knows who else..."
"No one!" Beth said now getting to her feet. "Baby, I swear. Since we've been together, I've only been with you and," she paused looking over at her parents and siblings, "them..."
"And just how in the hell am I supposed to believe that?" I said to her. "How can I believe anything you say?!"
I looked her in the eye and could see immediately she knew I was right. I looked over at her family and they all seemed to, at some level, acknowledge my point.
"Love can't exist without trust," I told Beth, "and now I can't trust you."
"Ted..." Beth said with a worried look.
"I need to take a walk," I said, cutting her off. I looked back at her family, "excuse me." I than went down the patio stairs and off into the gardens.
"Ted, please!" Beth almost screamed as I started walking.
"Beth, let him go," I heard from her father, "quite frankly, I don't blame him."
"Dad's right," I heard Richard say, a bit fainter. "Ted's got every right to be mad."
"What the hell were you thinking?" was the last thing I heard from Annie before I was out of earshot.
Hearing that was almost as big a shock to me as anything else. I yelled at their daughter and sister, and her family was backing me! I got it out of my head and just kept walking, cursing aloud and having imaginary shouting sessions with people who weren't there.
In a million years, I wouldn't've thought Beth would be capable of cheating on me. For some reason, and I have no clue why, the fact that it was with her own family didn't even really bother me. It almost seemed like the least important of the issues that I had with Beth right now. She'd lied to me and led me like a lamb to slaughter to her whole family, after years together.
I don't know how long I walked, but I eventually found the family's private beach and shoreline. The water always calmed me, so I stood on the shore and inhaled the sea air for a few minutes. In and out until I could feel the anger start to fade away.
My brain than switched to practical side. How am I gonna get out of here? Will they fly me home? Where am I gonna live since Beth and I were both on the lease. My mind was spinning out all of this when I heard a quiet voice.
"Ted?" Beth said meekly as I turned around and saw her standing about 10 yards from me up the beach.
"How the hell did you find me?" I asked, irritated. "Did you have me followed?!"
"No!" she said defensively. "No, I just..."
"Just what?" I said, trying to get her to go away.
"I just know how much you like the water, so I took the chance you'd be here." I rolled my eyes at her.
"I really don't wanna see you right now," I said turning back toward the water.
"Can I just talk, then?" she asked. "You don't have to look at me, just listen."
"Go ahead," I said, giving up. "Clearly, you're gonna do whatever the fuck you want anyway."
"Ok, I know you're mad," Beth said gingerly.
"No shit!" I said bitterly. "The woman that I thought was going to be my ride or die has been cheating on me for two years. Yeah, I'm a little perturbed."
"Babe, I know I should've told you," Beth said slowly and quietly. "Especially after you signed the NDA, but you gotta know I was scared."
"Oh, you were scared?!" I said with sarcasm dripping. "Be still my heart..."
"Ted, please!" she said in a pleading voice. "I wanted to tell you, but I just didn't know how. It's not like there's a simple way to bring up this topic."
"And how the fuck is that my problem?!" I said turning around, getting angry again. "I'm supposed to care about how you would feel telling me about you spreading your legs to your family and God only knows who else!" I said in a rage, before coming to a realization. "Jesus, I'm gonna have to get tested."
"Ted!" Beth said, almost begging. "Please believe me, only my family. No one else. We all get tested, so you're safe. Please know I would never put you in that kind of danger."
"I'm supposed to believe that how?" I said gesticulating into the air. "What part of me is supposed to now suddenly know you're telling the truth?"
She looked down in shame, tears coming down her face.
"Baby, please!" Beth said coming up and grabbing my hands. "I know I hurt you. I know I should've told you the moment you signed the NDA. But please, don't do anything rash yet!"
"Look," I said, my head swarming, but the anger easing a bit, "I get why you wouldn't tell me before I signed the NDA. It's your family and you have to protect them, I get it," I said while taking a deep breath. "But once I signed it, you should've told me everything."
"Honestly, Ted," she said not really looking me in the eye, "I couldn't think how to. And even if I did, would you have taken it any better than you just did?"
"Yes," I told her emphatically.
"Really?" she said quizzically and skeptically.
"I would've been pissed and confused," I admitted, "but at least I wouldn't've had a meltdown in front of the rest of your family. After years, you finally bring up to meet them and you throw all this shit at me. I just yelled at them in their own fucking house! I can only imagine how pissed they're at with me."
"Oh, they're not," Beth snapped quickly. "They're really pissed at me though. Mom, Dad, even my brother and sisters. They all think I really screwed up with you."
"Gee, I wonder why..." I said bitterly. Than Beth surprised me and got to her knees.
"Ted, please!" she said with tears in her eyes. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and you've made me so happy. I'll do anything to keep you! Anything to build our trust and love back."
I took a deep breath and looked into her eyes. They looked so sad and innocent, I almost felt sorry for her. Almost...
"Just tell me what your plan was here," I said with frustration as I got her off her knees. "What was your plan? Bring me here, let your family go off and fuck your brains out, while I sat outside with a John Daly and watched the clouds?!"
"No, not at all," she said quickly. "I guess I hoped that they'd be flirty with you. Get you interested first before the landmine was dropped."
"Why would them being flirty with me help?" I asked, completely lost.
"Cause than maybe you'd wanna join in," she said with an almost hopeful tick.
"Wait, what?!" I said completely blown.
"Well, yeah," she said as if it was obvious, "that's part of it. We don't bring anyone to the family until we know we'd want them to join in. You didn't think you would be left out, did you?"
"I...uh..." I now had nothing. She'd done a complete 180 on me. I'd thought she just brought me here and told me she and her family would be having sex while I was here. Not for a single second did it occur to me that they'd want me to join in.
"Baby, that's why we came," Beth said, grasping on to me. "I hated hiding this from you and for that I will do whatever it takes. But I brought you here because you're the one I wanna spend the rest of my life with. Truly. I wanted to show you what it would really be like with all of us."
My head was spinning now. She was now saying that she'd be fine with me fucking her family right along with her. I felt my anger subside and my confusion firmly set in. Would I really be willing to do that? I mean, maybe as getting back at Beth, but even that feeling was leaving me. I looked at my gorgeous goddess of a girlfriend I had. At least, for the moment.
"Babe," Beth asked, trying to get him out of his own head, "what are you thinking?"
"Honestly," I replied with none of the malice of previous in my voice, "I don't even know."
"Ok," Beth said hesitantly, "that's good." I looked at her in disbelief. "No, it's good. That means at least that your mind is open to this. At least a little."
"I uh," said, still searching for words. "I mean... what do you want?"
"I want us to be together forever," Beth said emphatically. "I love you so much! These two years together have made me so happy. You make me happy!" she said hugging me tight. "Look," she said after releasing me, "I get that my family is weird. Trust me, when each of us found out about the family history, it was mind-blowing. But it can also be tender, loving, and well honestly," she said squirming, "fun."
"So, wait?" I said trying to get a hold of my senses, "you're family wants me to," looking for a good word for this, "uh, "join" in?"
"Of course, babe!" she said with confidence. "That's the whole idea. My family was trying to convince me for a while to bring you into it. They know how I feel about you and we want you to be a part of it with us."
"Uhm," I said trying to get my head to reattach to my body. My girlfriend fucking her family and lying about it was one thing, but now she wanted me to join in?! I started thinking would I be doing it for revenge or because I wanted to? All the women in her family were admittedly attractive. Turnabout fair play?
"Threw too much at you?" Beth asked slightly worried. I gave her a look that basically said that was the dumbest questions she could've asked. "Please baby, I have to make this right."
"How?!" I said with general anger.
"Look I know I have to rebuild your trust and I think I have an idea," she said with the hint of a prayer. "You can be with my family and me," she said hesitantly, "but I won't be with Dad or Rich until you say I can."
It almost sounded fair, but it wasn't enough.
"None of them," I countered, with her looking shocked. "I'll go along with this for now, but until I say different, the only person you're having sex with is me. When and if I feel like it." She stood there like a deer in the headlights. I knew she liked girls, but I didn't know it went that deep.
"Um..."
"Take it or leave it," I told her, setting my terms fully. "Cause I'm walking in ten seconds." It may have been harsh, but under the circumstances, I felt it was completely fair.
"Ok!" she said quickly and almost regretfully. "No one but you until you say so. I'm not sure they're gonna be ok with it."
"Let me worry about that," I told her with confidence. "Let's go back."
We walked back to the main house in silence or damn near it. I saw all of her family talking up on the porch. Hannah was the first to spot me and I could hear her tell her family loudly, all of them leaning over to look at us. They could clearly see that while we were walking together, Beth was keeping her distance from me, and my hands were in my pockets. I walked up and saw a mix of concern, anxiety, and intrigue.
"Ted, we're glad you came back," George said warmly. "I was worried you'd run off for good. I even had Kenny get the jet on standby just in case."
"We really didn't mean to scare you off," Cecilia said with equal conviction.
"It wasn't your fault," I told them clearly. I saw Beth hang her head a bit as I turned back to the family.
"It was mine, and I know it," Beth said. "I'm really sorry everyone."
"Well, I'm surprised that you came back, for one," Diana said. "I don't know that I would've if someone had done to me what Beth did to you."
"Di, I get it," Beth said defensively as her mother jumped in-between the two.
"Ok, we all know Beth screwed up," she said matronly. "That's not the issue right now. We're concerned about Ted now and the way forward." She stepped forward toward both of us. "Ted, I know you had the world fall on you. But just know that we're all here for you."
"Yeah, we are," Annie spouted with a smile and wink.
"Look," Cecilia said, looking back reproachingly to her daughter, "we know it's a lot to process and you need time. We can set you up in your own room away from Beth if you need time for yourself. If you wanna leave, you can."
"Mother!" Beth said agitated.
"Beth, it's your fault we're in this mess!" her mother told her scoldingly. "How could you do that to him?! Seriously?! Everything you've ever told us about him was how nice, sweet, and affectionate he is."
"Pretty good in the sack too," Hannah added. I went red and she winked at me.
"I know I fucked up and I'm sorry. Ted and I have already talked about how to make it right."
"And what's that?" Richard asked.
"Babe?" Beth said looking up at me. I took a deep breath.
"First, I wanna apologize to you all for storming off like that and speaking to you all the way I did." I heard a slew of "no's and "not at all's from them all while I continued. "I know, but I still should've handled myself better."
"Son," George said, "you didn't break anything or curse us out. Quite frankly, considering how all this got dumped on you, I think you took it pretty well."
"Thanks," I said rubbing my neck a bit. "Look, I have a lot of questions about all this and it may take me some time to get a real handle on it all," I admitted. "But I'm willing to keep an open mind, if that's ok?"
"Oh, wonderful!" Cecilia said, giving me another hug. "I'm so glad! We promise, we'll take it slow with you and answer any questions you have. Nothing is off the table, I assure you."
"We'll try not to shock you too much you're first day," Diana added with a wink.
"It's normally Beth that's the worst with that," Richard said smiling with everyone else laughing. I looked at Beth who blushed again and decided to speak.
"Well that won't be an issue now," she said looking down at the ground again.
"What do you mean?" George asked.
"To help to ease Ted into this," she started, "and to rebuild our trust, I'm not going to be available until Ted says so."
It hit like a thunderbolt to the family, but the reaction I got was very surprising. Her parents were nodding in approval.
"I think that's very fair considering," Cecelia said.
"I agree," George replied. "Kids?"
"Well," Richard pipped up, "it sucks for obvious reasons," he said, making me remember again how many times he probably fucked my girlfriend, "but I think Ted deserves that."
"I'd say so," Hannah said with a smirk, coming up to me, "don't worry, sis," she said talking to Beth while wrapping an arm around me, "we'll take good care of him."
"Hey! I didn't..." was all Beth was able to get out before her mother stopped her.
"You got yourself into this," Cecilia charged her daughter. "You agreed that you'd let Ted take part. That was the whole idea, right?"
I looked at Beth and saw her frown, but nod. Apparently, my girlfriend was gonna share me all along with her family, and she would be left out, for now. Cecilia came up to me.
"Ted, just so you know there's no pressure," she said warmly. "You do what feels comfortable for you. We'll try and restrain ourselves from being too overt among all of us."
"No, it's ok," I replied, shocking everyone it seemed, Beth especially. "Look, I don't wanna put you guys out any more than I already have. You trusted me enough to invite me here, so I guess I should see what I'm in for. Especially if Beth wants me around for a while."
"Good on you," George said approvingly. "Beth, I see why you speak so highly of him."
This caused Beth to have a slight smile, while the rest of the family all seemed pleased with my answer. Beth came up and talked into my ear.
"I want you around forever," she said. "I'll prove it to you, I swear."
"Well, gang," Cecilia said, throwing an arm around Richard and Annie, "guess we can get back to normal around here."
"Yes!" Hannah said as she started stripping off her clothes, right then and there. Her sleek thin body was soon exposed to the world as her perky, B-cup breasts came free. I noticed that she was looking directly at me the whole time she was stripping, even turning around and bending over as her shorts came down and showed her bubble butt to everyone, but clearly to me as she looked over her shoulder and winked at me. I was stunned and aroused all at the same time.
I looked over the faces of the rest of the family as she finished and not one of them seemed put off by it. Cecilia just smiled while George and Richard grinned. Beth put her hand to her face, not seeming to believe her family was being so brazen with me. I started thinking why she should be embarrassed, I'm the newbie here.
"What do you think, Ted?" she said striking model poses. While not as gifted up top as her older sisters, her body was tight as a drum with her bubble butt looking quite tantalizing.
"You look beautiful," I said in a tone that appreciated her looks, but hopefully not enough to make Beth too jealous. Then again, why should I try and make her feel better?! She'd probably seen her naked thousands of times and probably slept with her plenty too. Hannah smiled at the complement.
"Thank you," she said in a drawn out, girly tone.
"Hannah's definitely the exhibitionist of the family," George explained. "Even when she was little, it was tough keeping clothes on her."
"If you got it, flaunt it," I said, reciting a line from the movie "The Producers". Beth just looked at me while everyone else laughed, Diana really hard.
"I love that movie!" she said, still recovering from her laughing.
"He does too," Beth said, seeming to try and remind her sister's that I was there with her. "It's one of his favorites."
"Oh, we should watch it tonight," Cecilia suggested warmly. "Well, how about we all go for a nice swim before dinner?" she suggested. Everyone agreed, including Beth and me. Annie than spoke up.
"Does he know the rules about the water?" Annie asked Beth, getting my attention.
"Ann, Beth didn't tell him anything and you think she told him that?" Richard pipped up.
"What rules?" I asked.
"Simple," Hannah said, "you have to be dressed like me," twirling around again to show her body. My eyes went wide again
"We find it makes for a more relaxing experience," George replied.
"More fun too," Cecilia echoed with a grin. George nodded at her, smiling as she turned back to me. "But I think we should wave the rule for Ted here," she said getting boos from the rest of the kids, save Beth. "We don't want to overwhelm the boy any more than we already have."
"Awww..." Diana said with disappointment.
"You just want to see him naked," Beth shot out.
"Damn right!" she snapped back.
"Well, you heard Mom," Beth said, thinking she had won. I quickly made a decision.
"No, it's ok," I replied getting smiles from the girls and surprise from the guys and Beth. "I don't mind."
"Oh, wonderful," Cecilia said with a smile. "You can either strip out upstairs or there's a change house over there," she said pointing over to a small hut.
"I'll just go to the hut," I replied.
"Good!" George said. "I'll have them bring some towels out and sunscreen," George said, going into the house to get a staff member. Everyone else except Beth and Hannah went inside to change out. I headed over to the hut when Beth stopped me.
"Are you sure about this?" she asked me.
"It's not like I haven't been skinny dipping before," I told her, having gone camping with her in the past.
"But..." Beth said before Hannah cut her off.
"Yeah, what's the big deal, sis?" Hannah said coming right up against me. "Afraid he'll like it too much?"
Beth didn't have a reply for Hannah, very unusual for her, because she always had some kind of comeback for anyone. She must've sensed there was little point in continuing to argue as she went with me over to the hut as Hannah went to the pool.
"Why did you agree to this?" Beth said as she started undoing her sundress, "Mom gave you an out."
"Cause I need to know what I'm in for," I replied, taking off my shirt. "Look, despite the last few hours, I do love you." Her eyes brightened at hearing that.
"Really?" she said with a hopeful gaze and a tear as she slid her dress down, leaving her flawless body completely exposed.
"I do," I replied, trying not to get hard from the sight of her beautiful bod. Even after two years, it didn't take much more for her to turn me on then letting me see it. "Don't get me wrong, I'm still royally pissed at you and you are gonna be in the doghouse for a while," I said, causing her to frown, "but I do think that you will at least try to rebuild the trust we had."
"Oh, I will," she said hurriedly, hugging me while I was only in boxers now. "I promise, babe, no one but you until you say so."
"Ok," I said as I slipped off the shorts, exposing my half-chub.
"And just so we're clear," she said, still hugging me, "I won't stop you or my family if you want to be with any of them. It's only fair."
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," I said, not totally sure how far I would take all this.
"It'll probably come sooner than you think," Beth said, almost exasperated, "I know all my sisters want a piece of you. Probably Mom too."
"What makes you say that?" I replied, trying to hide the male bravado that was coursing through me.
"They'd seen pics of you and heard about some of our "exploits"," she said. "They've been wanting me to bring you here for a long time."
"Wow," was all I could think to say, bringing Beth back to me.
"Don't forget," she said full of her usual confidence, now restored, "you're leaving with me," she said, than seeming to remember some of the issues we had in front of us as I glared at her. "At least, I hope so."
She left it at that and went out, giving her ass a light smack as she left. That last part did nothing to hide my half chub, which was growing a bit more now. I peeked out of the hut and saw Beth get in and join Hannah who was already splashing around. I figured I'd be safest if I just dashed in while everyone else was still inside. I dashed into the water and jumped in, creating a good splash behind me.
I emerged from the water and saw Hannah very close to me.
"Nice dash to the pool!" she said with a bubbly voice. "Beth, I definitely saw enough to see that you are a lucky girl."
I blushed and saw Beth blush too as Hannah came even closer.
"So, did you mean what you said before?" she asked me.
"About what?" I said, genuinely not knowing what she exactly meant.
"About you having an open mind?" Hannah asked.
"I did," I replied, matter-of-factly.
"So does that mean I get a sample?" she asked now right up against me and her hand resting on my cock.
"Hannah!" Beth said, almost violently.
"What?!" Hannah asked, shooting her sister a look. "It's good enough for you, but not for Ted?!"
I had to admit, Hannah had an excellent point and even Beth seemed to acknowledge it, hanging her head. Hannah was gonna fondle further when the rest of the family came out en-masse.
All the women looked stunning, even her mother. They all looked toned, fit, and incredible. Even the men looked at the top of their game, even though my focus was not on them. I noticed that neither were hard, despite all the naked flesh near them, me assuming they were both used to it by now.
"Well," George said in his gregarious manner, "I see you got him used to our pool and spa attire."
"Good for you!" Cecilia said encouragingly, her heavy breasts bouncing a bit as she did.
"What's the appraisal, sis?" Annie asked, clearly directing her question at Hannah rather than Beth.
"I likey," Hannah said while still fondling me under the water. I was starting to get hard when Richard broke the tension with a cannonball, everyone laughing as we all got soaked. The rest of the family all got in with less drama and soon it felt like a normal pool day.
For about 30 seconds, that is. I noticed that Diana and Annie were both moving closer to me, and Cecilia wasn't far away either. Beth was close to me as well, maybe trying to ward off her sisters. It was a strange dance to say the least, watching one of the girls move closer and Beth seeming to block them off.
George broke it up by getting a pool ball and throwing it around, a simple catch game where we were encouraged to spread out. This gave me some relief as Cecilia and Beth both flanked me as we played. It very much seemed that Beth's sisters, whenever they threw the ball at me, were trying to make me reach for it or dive out of the pool. Luckily, I have pretty good reflexes and I was able to stay in the water for the most part.
After a while of doing that, Richard got some music playing and everyone started getting out pool floats. George just laid on a floating lounger, his cock just above the water line, soft. The girls all seemed to be chit chatting, all shooting me occasional glances, as if to ensure I knew I was the main topic of conversation.
"Having fun?" Richard said, coming over with a fresh drink for me.
"So far, so good," I replied taking the drink from him.
"Still freaked out?" he asked. It was obvious to me from his tone that he was actually trying to show concern.
"Not as much," I said honestly. "Honestly, you guys all seem so comfortable with each other and that makes a lot of this easier to deal with."
"Yeah, we certainly are a tight family," he said with sarcasm, knowing I knew what he meant. "I mean, honestly, we all freaked out when we first heard about the family traditions. Well, everyone except Diana who found out when she was a teenager, sneaking in on a family party."
"That probably required some therapy," I quipped.
"Not really," Richard said. "I think it was more a turn on for her than anything, but you'd have to ask her. The rest of us, it took a couple of days for us to get used to the idea. Well, except Hannah. She practically shoved Dad's cock down her throat while ordering me to lick her cunt."
"Did they force you to get it to this?" I asked. "Join or be banished?"
"No, not at all," Richard said quickly, but also in a tone that made me realize he was telling the truth. "Mom and Dad made it clear from the get-go that this was up to us and no one had to do anything they didn't want to. As far as I know, the girls got the same talk and were told the same thing."
"So how long did it take you to give in?" I asked him.
"Honestly," Richard said almost embarrassed. "It was the same night. Diana was in there with Mom and Dad, and she was teasing me the whole time. I'd always found her hot and when I learned that she was down for it, I signed up. Although Mom went first though," he said almost wistfully, "tradition."
It was mind blowing to me that this guy was admitting to being hot for his sister even before he learned that he could fuck her. But then again, not having any sisters, I really had nothing to compare it to.
"Does it weird you out any?" I asked him, figuring if he was in a chatty mood, I could get more questions answered that Beth may be more reluctant to share.
"Of course, it did at first," Richard said honestly. "I mean, sex whenever you want is pretty awesome to say the least, but it was weird at first, especially since we still had to hide it from Beth, Annie, and Hannah. Once everyone was involved, it just kinda became normal. It may seem weird, but honestly after a while, you kinda forget that the rest of the world thinks it's strange."
"Huh," was all I could think to say.
"So, just between you and me," Richard said getting closer so that no one else could hear, "how pissed are you at Beth?"
I took a deep breath pondering my answer.
"Pissed," I replied softly. "I mean honestly, if she'd warned me a little about any of this or tell me from the beginning she wanted an open relationship..."
"Well, I get the part about the warning," Richard said understandingly. "You have no idea how bad everyone laid into her for how she handled this. We all assumed that she'd have told you after you signed the NDA. Or the plane. Or something. But to make us out it all for you," he said looking up to the heavens, "that's fucking brutal."
"No shit," I replied.
"As far as the open relationship thing, I know it's weird but that's really not what it is. It's only among the family or those about to be family. It's open season for everybody," he said. "In the family's eyes, it's not really cheating in the way you think. Actually, there's never been a "true" case of adultery ever in the family."
I started to protest, but Richard stopped me.
"I get it," Richard said sympathetically, "you feel betrayed. But just know that it wasn't betrayal in her mind. It's just family sharing. You have no idea how much she talked you up every time she came home. She really is head over heels for you."
Strange as that was to hear from the brother of my girlfriend who'd probably plowed her more times than I could count, it was actually strangely comforting to hear that she'd propped me up to her family.
"What are you guys talking about?" Annie said coming over to us, our bro time coming to an end.
"Just talking about the family and stuff," Richard said, trying to dismiss the question. Diana wasn't having any of it, hearing only that they were possibly talking about her apparently, joining Annie's side.
"So, what did my little brother say about me?" she asked bopping around in the water, showing me her chest in the process. While maybe not quite as gifted up top as Beth was, it was close. Her perky C cups were dancing in the water as she came up to us and came beside me.
"I didn't say we were talking about you, Di," Richard countered.
"Hmmm," was all she said as she turned her attention back to me. "So Ted, are you having a good time?"
"I think so," I replied. "It was a bit of a rocky start."
"Yeah," she said in a forlorn way, but not an entirely convincing one as she continued. "Beth really fucked you over. But don't worry," she said, pressing her body into mine, "I'll help you get back at her."
"Di..." Richard said, seeming to look out for me.
"What?" she said as if clueless, "I just want to help."
"Diana..." I heard from Cecilia, who was now swimming toward us, obviously having heard something.
"What?" she said looking at her mother, while still pressing into me.
"Will you go help your sister, please?" she said in a friendly, but forceful tone. Diana gave me a kiss on the cheek as she got out of the pool, ensuring I got a full view of her ass and bare pussy as she did.
"Sorry about her," Cecilia said as Richard went to get a fresh drink.
"No, no, it's ok," I told her.
"I think she's had a bit of a crush on you from the time Beth first showed us your picture."
"Oh," was all I said. Then I noticed Cecilia was moving closer to me.
"If I'm being honest, I can't really blame her." She started moving even closer. "My daughter has very good taste."
"Thank...thank you," I got out while I felt her breasts starting to push against my arm.
"I certainly hope you are starting to feel comfortable with us," she said quietly. "I know it wasn't the easiest introduction, but I certainly hope we can make up for it."
"Sure," was all I could mumble out.
"Well, maybe we could..." Cecilia started before George came up.
"Say, Ted," he said with a big smile on his face, even as his naked wife was practically on top of me, "mind if I borrow you for a moment?"
"Of course," I said quickly as Cecilia seemed to reluctantly let me go. He gave me a fresh drink as we floated on the edge of the pool.
"Just wanted to check in on you," he said with his friendly demeanor, "I know you've had one heck of a day."
"That's putting it mildly, sir," I told him honestly. He chuckled a bit.
"Yeah, I can only imagine," he said cheerfully, taking a sip. "I also thought I'd give you a bit more cover with the girls," he said in a caring fashion. "I'm sure you've noticed the attention they're giving you, even Mrs. *******."
"It's uh..." I said, not really knowing how to respond.
"They haven't had new blood for a while and the girls get a bit competitive. Since you gave them the ok to act normal around you, I'd be surprised if they don't start getting more aggressive."
"What should I do?" I asked, looking for advice.
"Well, that's up to you," he said after thinking it over. "If you want to move slower with getting into our lifestyle or your still unsure, hold off until tomorrow. Of course, if you have a desire and/or want to "punish" Beth a bit, really any of the girls are great choices."
I bristled a bit at this, in the back of my head thinking about how he'd had sex with Beth probably dozens of times. Then I switched back to thinking about how this man was basically offering up his wife and other daughters to satisfy me.
"Do you mind if I ask how it all works?" I asked him in an innocent a tone as I could. He nodded thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I guess we didn't really cover that..." he said, rubbing the back of his head. "Basically, if you have an interest in someone, just ask. Of course, everyone has the right to say no, but I'll be honest, it's pretty rare. Normally, we'd just go to a free room in the house and do what we'd like, sometimes it's a bit more in the open if someone wants to put on a bit of a show. If you're wondering if it's every just an outright orgy all the time, we really only do that for holidays or special occasions. Of course, sometimes those special occasions are the arrival of Thursday," he said with a chuckle.
