Incest/Taboo Unbelievable

"Let's all settle down; we've all gotten a little hot under the collar," Brandan spoke, being the voice of reason. "We have a month to discuss this, right?" Looking to his wife, who nodded. "Johnny, no one is saying make a choice now; let's see what we can find out and go from there. That's a reasonable compromise, right?"

"If I'm not satisfied?" Johnny asked with a pointed look at his father.

"Then we'll drop the matter entirely and never bring it up again, won't we?" Brandan uttered, peering at Katherine.

"Of course, Johnny, please, I know you're upset right now, and you probably are thinking we're trying to change you into something that you might not want. But that's farthest from the truth; all I want is to help you, so you aren't having any more of these seizures," Katherine said, praying that he could understand where she was coming from.

"How is an experimental drug helping me?"

"Because it can reverse what that doctor did to you," Annie exclaimed, surging from her seat. Her 46DD bouncing in her bra, which strained to keep those voluptuous orbs contained as she did. "That's what I want to believe," cutting her brother off when John started to speak, kneeling on the cushion of the couch where she had just been sitting, "Johnny, look at me," she spoke in a sweet tone. "Have I ever asked you to change who you were to be something I know that you are not?" Seeing the scowl forming on his lips knowing that was the truth. "Have I not been understanding, have I not done things that I find rather silly and far too revealing?" Referencing the outfit she had worn to the comic convention as 'Lady Death.'

"What are you getting at Annie?" Johnny grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Come closer," Annie said in a sweet-like voice as her right index finger beckoned to her brother. A curvaceous smile formed on her lips as he took a step and then another towards her and Janus. "Answer me, Johnny, have I or have I not made you do things that you didn't want to do?" she spoke lightly, running her hands up John's chest. Noticing how Janus rested her right arm on the back of the loveseat, wearing a warm smile on her face as she propped herself upon it. Seeing that light dancing in her green eyes as she stared at the two of them. Smirking sinfully at her brother when his gaze darted down as she pressed her breasts into his chest when she pulled him closer.

"No... you haven't," Johnny admitted reluctantly.

"I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do this, just that you don't bat it off without knowing every single fact before making this decision, okay?" Annie spoke in a loving tone as her thumbs lightly brushed along John's cheeks. Seeing those eyes of his searching hers. "I'm not saying I wouldn't love to know that you can finally remember our first kiss..."

"Already did," Johnny blurted out, watching the shock and glee spreading rapidly across his sister's face before huffing as Annie quickly pulled him into a crushing embrace.

"You don't know how happy that makes me, Johnny," Annie whispered into his ear.

Glancing out the corner of his eye as Janus took hold of his left hand, feeling the featherlight touch of the pad of her thumb upon the back of it when she held it in her hand. His sister's sweet perfume filled his nose just like it had done on that fateful day when her soft cheek brushed along his. He was uncertain as to why Annie would get so much happiness out of that memory. The way he remembered it, given how he had to live it out all over again, was not a very good day for any of them.

Katherine felt her cheeks heating at how intimate that kiss was that Annie had planted on John's lips. Looking over at Ray when she heard him muttered about if she was ever going to kiss him like that, only to have Wanda pounce on him. Ruth and Bill just simply looked on as Ruth snuggled against her eldest son's arm as Ruth rested her left cheek on it. It was only when Brandan cleared his throat when the two of them were getting a tad too frisky in front of everyone that he brought their embrace to a stop.

"Mmm..." Annie hummed, dragging her lower lip along her teeth as she gazed wantonly at her brother. Feeling how her hardening nipples were pressing into the fabric of her bra. "That's what I remember," she said dreamily. "Johnny, can you promise me you'll hear it all out? No one is forcing you to make a decision right at this moment; just let us at least hear everything before you do. Can you do that for me?"

"Us," Janus cut in, "all three of us."

"Fine, I'll listen, but don't expect much from me," Johnny sighed.

"That's all we're asking for, Johnny," Katherine said from the spot she had yet to vacate. "I'm not saying that this will all work out, and everything will be sunshine and rainbows. But as a family, don't you think you would give us a chance to help you heal from what that man did to you?" Holding her breath when those cold, hard eyes of his flickered over to her. She knew what he was thinking; it was clear as day. He wouldn't have been under that man's care if they had listened to his pleas.

"Well then, how about I fire up the grill?!" Brandan spoke, rubbing his hands together as he rose from his seat.

Friday, four days later...

"Is a John Masters in your class?" Came a voice over the intercom as John sat in his seventh-period class. A scowl formed on his lips at the sound of his given name.

"Yes, he is. May I ask to the nature of this interruption?" His English teacher asked as the late fifties man turned towards the intercom after pressing the signal button to transmit to the main office.

"Please send him to the office; his ride is here." A large smile formed on his lips, knowing he was free from the looks that his classmates constantly levied at him.

"They finally going to cart you off to a loony bin?!" Snickered one of the more preppy females in his class as John rose from his seat as he grabbed his book bag.

"No, not this time, been there, done that, as the saying goes. But I'll bring back some really fancy kneepads for you since that's what you spend most of your time on," Johnny retorted, earning him a few slack jaws at his words.

"Wow. You can actually form words that aren't a one-word answer," the girl sneered as she glared at John hatefully. "It's a wonder how you'd ever get laid." Snorting as her friends chuckled along.

"While it might not be as... lengthy as your rap sheet given the running tally in the men's room on how many of them have slept with you, your assumptions are wrong, once again," Johnny spoke, brushing off her remark as if it meant nothing to him, which it didn't. Glancing out of the corner of his eye as his teacher franticly wrote out his hall pass so he wouldn't cause any more of a scene. Noting how she was fuming in her seat, red as a beet as that haunting silence filled that brick and mortar painted room.

"John... just go," his teacher said, holding out the pass for him. He couldn't say anything against the boy; he was, after all, verbally assaulted. He just didn't know John would drop that truth that everyone knew but kept tight-lipped about. John wore a taunting, wicked grin on his face as he glared at the girl as he left the room.

Making a quick stop by his locker, grabbing the books he would need knowing where he was going doing it on Sunday night wouldn't be doable given the late hour they would likely get back by. In truth, John has been looking forward to a little peace to himself for a bit, given everything that's been going on as of late. His bookbag jostled against his back as he rounded the corner of the four-way intersection of the hallway that led to the main office. A smile formed on his lips as his eyes fell upon that alluring body of hers. Seeing that light blush on her cheeks as those masterful fingers brushed her golden strands behind her ear as she stood there waiting in front of the Principal's office

"I'm sorry Johnny, I told them to call you, Johnny, but..."

"It's fine; I'm used to them not listening," Johnny said, cutting Janus off. "So, busting me out, huh?"

"Mmmhmm," Janus hummed, glad to see that John had moved past the open hostility at being referred to that name. However, given how it was high school, and like all of them, there were those that liked to belittle those that didn't fit in. Like the JV basketball player that was lucky enough to stumble upon the sight, or that was what it was going to be until the boy focused his camera on Janus, soon as the two of them left, John had become rather popular given the power of social media.

"You sure you don't need to be in class?" Johnny asked, noting how his sister leaned against the side of Janus' SUV.

"Told you, I switched days, so I'll be with you always," Annie spoke in a loving, sexy tone.

"Just don't want you failing because of me," John uttered, noticing the glimmer of light in his sister's eyes when he said that.

"I promise, all taken care of, so we can just relax all weekend if you want, Johnny," Annie cooed, dropping the subtle hints of what was to come.

"Oh, I got a place I so need to show you," Janus said, taking Annie by her left arm, her glee to be able to share it with someone danced in her eyes.

"Well, then, I definitely have to see it," Annie answered with an eager nod.

"Now, let's hit the road, Johnny. Do you want to stop at the fish shack and grab dinner on the way to the house?" Janus inquired, watching how John placed his book bag into the back as she peered at him from the driver's seat before pulling away.

"Sure. Shrimp, though..."

"I know, Johnny, no fish," Janus nodded sternly, knowing the reason why he disliked fish.

"Johnny?" Annie's sweet, enticing voice drew his attention as she peered around her seat.

"Hmm?"

"I think Yasmine is going to miss you," Annie said, referring to how broken up about it she appeared to be when they saw her off at the airport last night.

"Maybe," Johnny mumbled. Although, turning his gaze to peer back out the window, he had to admit Ruth's sister wasn't a bad person to know once you got past the anger.

"No, I think she will, Johnny," Janus joined in as they turned on to the road that would lead them to the interstate onramp. "Before what happened to her, I bet she was one of those types of people that can make friends with anyone."

"But why me?"

"Just because you deal with what you deal with doesn't mean you aren't worthy of friendship," Annie uttered in a caring tone as her touch was light on his knee. "Everyone needs someone as strong as you in their lives; I know I do." Loving how she could make those cheeks blush. Which only happened with her and Janus, so she knew it was special. She knew he had difficulty with saying that word, given what happened to the first girl he remembers that he fell in love with. "Plus, I know how much you enjoy having her to chat with about comics. I know that was the main discussion with you to after the meeting on Wednesday."

"Yeah, what can I say? She has good tastes," Johnny admitted with a shrug of his shoulders.

"So you up to putting the baby's room together tomorrow?" Janus asked, enjoying how they all have gotten into the swing of things when it came to their relationship.

"As long as it isn't from the same place you used for the house here," Johnny grumbled, recounting how frustrated he had gotten, even his own father had trouble understanding the wording of their instructions on how to put the crib together. Which they ended up getting the one they all had used when they were growing up instead after his father had brought it down from the attic and made sure no stowaways were onboard.

"Agreed, not from that place again," Janus nodded along.

"Hey, I was thinking after we finish with the baby's room, you and I could take a little stroll. It's somewhere where we used to go, but not if it brings on another episode."

"So, Johnny, have you given thought about the prom?" Janus inquired curiously as her green eyes peered back at him from the rearview mirror.

"Do you really want to go?" Johnny held back his groan as they've been having this conversation ever since he'd gotten home from the hospital.

"I do," Janus chirped in excitement. "You know I never went to mine, and I know being around, so many people isn't something you like unless you're saying you're ashamed to be seen with your old..."

"You insane?!" John knew what that was bait for, and he wasn't falling for it as he cut her off. "Have you looked at yourself, you're fucking hot, and you damn well know it," Johnny huffed, crossing his arms along his chest. "So don't you go trying to guilt me into that your old bit."

"Yes, dear," Janus cooed in a teasing, playful tone. "But, Johnny, you only get one prom in your life, don't you want to go?"

"No, but if you want to go, I'll go to make up for missing yours," Johnny replied after a few moments of thought.

"I promise, Johnny, it's going to be magical," Janus said in a dreamy voice.

"We'll go shopping for the two of you next week," Annie said, knowing alone helping to deal with his troubles would be difficult on the best of days on her own. She got that didn't mean she liked sharing her brother. Yet she couldn't deny that the two of them had a bond, a bond that she knew she and Johnny shared as well. She could see how good she was for him. So, if she had to share her brother to help him heal from the pain that was inflicted upon him, she'd walk that path if it meant her brother could heal. That's all that mattered to her, his wellbeing.

"Come on, let's eat before the food gets cold. Johnny, you can unload the car while Annie and I put up the food for our stay after we do," Janus said as she and Annie lowered the cooler packed with ice that held their meat and the other cold items they would need to the ground behind the SUV.

"Okay," Johnny said, gathering up their to-go containers and his book bag as he slid out of the rear passenger seat. With Annie pulling the cooler behind her in step with him as Janus led the two of them towards their front door.

"I got a little something for you for later," Annie whispered heatedly into John's ear as Janus unlocked her front door. "You'll like it, trust me," she cooed when John flashed her a look. Listening to Janus quickly disarming the alarm system that she had installed not for burglars, no, it was her safety net should her ex-husband come looking for her. Not that he has since their divorce, yet old habits die hard.

"Come on, you two, let's go enjoy our dinner," Janus said with a sweet, warm smile on her lips as she looked at the two of them.

The sounds of merriment filled Janus' lake house as the sky darkened and the sun fled from the rising moon. However, one by one, the lights that illuminated the ground floor found their own rest, then the second floor as they moved towards their bedroom. Which was hidden behind a secret door in case her ex tried to break in during the night. John watched how the moon danced along the surface of the lake when he stood there gazing down at it from the hidden third floor. Feeling the tips of Janus' finger's along his shoulders as she brought him into her embrace.

"Johnny." Janus's voice was soft in John's ear as she pressed her chest against his back as he stood there in front of her window. "Come to bed; we have a big day tomorrow; we're going to need our rest," she whispered sweetly into John's left ear.

"Johnny?!" Annie's alluring voice called to him as she stood in the doorway of their bathroom. "How do I look?" she asked, flashing her brother an alluring smile as she stood in a black tinted, see-through nightgown.

Sunday night...

John struggled to breathe as his mother hugged him tightly the moment he, along with Janus and Annie, walked in a little past six that evening. Casting his family a look when Katherine rocked him back and forth.

"I've missed you so much," Katherine finally spoke after that rather long hug. Greeting her daughter and Janus soon afterward.

"How was your weekend?" Brandan asked, taking his son's bag from him as the rest joined them in greeting their return.

"Not bad," Johnny admitted, not bringing up the fact that a group of guys kept coming around demanding that Janus and Annie show them their tits.

"Good, I'm glad you had fun; let's get your stuff put away," Brandan said, squeezing his son into his side as they headed off towards his room.

"So... how was he?" Katherine asked, fearing the answer.

"We were pretty busy all weekend, so not a whole lot of things got his attention," Janus spoke, knowing that John's ability to survive on his own weighed on Katherine's mine and that she was there to outplace her.

"Good," releasing a pent-up breath, "now how was the lake really?" Katherine asked, knowing John wouldn't have said anything to her if something had irked him. For fear that she would put a stop to it all. She would if it endangered her son's mental health.

"Couple of guys harassed us..."

"Like the one's before?" Wanda asked, stepping forward; her mind flashed back to that day.

"No," shaking her head, causing her blonde strands to bounce about, "I think they were just a couple of weekenders given how the numbers on the boat I wrote down belonged to a rental place. "I doubt we'll see them again."

"Remember what Johnny did?" Annie asked; a little chuckle escaped her lips, causing Janus to smile as she nodded along.

"What did he do?" Ray asked, intrigued at what his brother had done during their time away.

"Got up from his spot on the edge of the float where he was fishing, while we sunbathed, and ripped off his shirt and threw it down and said: Here! You happy now, you assholes?!"

"Then he said: Don't make me learn how to walk on water to come over there and beat your asses. Now get the fuck out of here," Janus said, adding on, feeling a warmth spreading through her body recounting that Saturday afternoon. Noting how Bill looked down at his own chest and gave his pectoral muscles a lift.

"Yeah, I got him beat," Bill said, getting a laugh out of everyone.

"Johnny?" Ruth's gaze turned towards him as he and Brandan rounded the corner.

"Hmm?"

"Yasmine was wondering if you would call her," Ruth stated, while she was happy that her sister was finally opening up to someone, yet she didn't want to place undue stress upon John. Not that she didn't think he couldn't handle what they had spoken about, she would never have asked him to speak to Yasmine if she wasn't sure he couldn't. She just didn't want to overburden him with things when or if he needed space.

"Like right now or...?"

"Later would be fine, just not too late; it's already nine there," Ruth said with a warm smile.

"Okay, I'll call her," Johnny nodded.

"Why don't you come and tell us all about how the lake was," Wanda said sweetly, placing her hand lightly on John's left arm. "So what did you all do during your stay?" she asked, looping her arm around his and guiding John into the Den where the rest of them followed after.

"Seems like you had a good time, Johnny," Katherine said, a little saddened that her little boy was growing so fast before her eyes that she couldn't look at her son like a little boy that needed his mother any longer. Not that she was going to halt this. She knew if she interfered, that would only ruin every advancement that her son had made in the past couple of months. Still, she would always think of John as her baby, no matter how old he was. Feeling Brandan squeezing her into him when she knew he could sense her distress. Her eyes flickered up, noting how Annie was slightly nudging John's side. Why, she couldn't say. Yet, it seemed to her they had discussed something prior to coming home. Her chin lifted as her eyes followed how John rose from his seat. Her heart hammered in her chest as John strolled over to the couch she and Brandan were sitting on. Noting how Ray quickly got to his feet and scurried over to the love seat to give them room on the couch.

"Hi," Johnny said as he sat down between his mother and Wanda.

"Hi, baby," Katherine responded with a growing smile on her lips. Her heart leapt into her throat as John allowed her to actually hold his hand for the first time in a very long time. "Did you have fun with Janus and your sister over the weekend? Good, I'm glad," she said sweetly when John nodded his head. Her thumb brushed along the back of her son's hand. She was going to treasure this moment for the rest of her life.

"So when is the construction going to start?" Johnny asked, ignoring how Ray was trying to worm his way into Janus' bra.

"They told me, the company we went with," nodding to Janus, "that they'll start Monday and go from there. Said it wouldn't take long given how it's just a connector with limited electrical work," Brandan said, peering around his wife to gaze at his son.

"Okay," Johnny said with a nod. His gaze falling on Annie and Janus, who were blushing in their seats as he did. He had to admit living with only the two of them wasn't so bad. It was quieter than he would have liked; then again, he has lived in a house full of people all his life; it was just going to take him some time to grow used to Janus' large house.

"Johnny, would you mind coming with me for a bit?" Bill inquired after they all had caught up.

"Me?"

"Yep, you li'l brother," Bill said, smiling at John from across Ruth's and Wanda's chest. "Ray, come with," he ordered in that big brotherly voice as he and John rose from their seats.

"Okay, what's this about?" Johnny asked once his brothers had brought him to a stop in the dining room.

"Can you teach us to dance like this?" Bill asked, holding out his phone of the video clip he saw on Twitter. Noticing how John watched it without the volume on as he held his phone in his hands.

"I assume you have some music for this?" Johnny spoke, his eyes flickered up from the phone's screen.

"I do, well Ray does; he's the one that found it," Bill said offhandedly.

"Yeah, shouldn't be too hard," Johnny said, hearing the voices from the den conversing about everything that happened over the weekend. "Just getting the two..."

"Three of us," Ray cut in, seeing the confusion in John's eyes.

"We were thinking if you wouldn't mind joining us, the four of us, I mean, to a dance club soon," Bill said, knowing this was going to be the hardest part. Getting John into a room packed full of people.

"Define soon," Johnny spoke with a hard edge to his voice.

"Say in a month, that should give Ray and me some time to get the moves down," Bill said, praying that John wouldn't say no.

"Only if Annie and Janus can come with me..." His body rocked to the side as Annie threw her arms around his neck.

"I'd love to be your date for the night, Johnny," Annie whispered lustfully into his ear. Recounting how he had her moaning and begging for him to fuck her harder and faster on Janus'... now their bed that very morning. Also, remembering the moans that weren't hers filling the house when Janus and John would sneak away for their own fun.

"We'll have to see how I am that day, Johnny; I don't know if I'll be up for much dancing by then," Janus said, smiling lovingly at John as she stood in the doorway to the den. Feeling the rest of them at her back as she and they looked on.

"Then I'm..." John's voice died in his throat as Annie had that look in her eye warning him not to renege on his promise.

"Johnny, you will take your other wife dancing..."

"Wife?!" Brandan had to catch Katherine as she fainted from shock.
