Chapter 32B

Traci grinned right back at him. "Oh, that'd be so terrible! But, we already know about you being our big, bad brother. We only had to listen in on Tuesday morning to learn about that!"

What!?! SHIT! Oh NO!!! They couldn't know about that, could they?!?

Dan felt Jan and Susie suddenly stiffen up alongside him. He actually stuttered / stammered in his response to them. "Wha... What do you mean?"

"It was a clever trick with the air-conditioning control. But, we woke up because of it. I went out to see why the air was running all the time and that's when I heard something from the bathroom. I noticed that the light was on and then I checked both of your bedrooms. Nobody was in their beds. All three were empty. That's when I got Terri."

Oh SHIT!

Jan again spoke. She almost shouted. What she said came out in a loud hiss. "What are you saying?"

Terri finished it for them. "We heard you. The three of you. It was so hot to think that our brother was doin' it to our sisters! We turned off the AC and listened to you. You didn't even notice that it was off. It was the best thing we've ever heard. It was even better than when Tasha got Don down in the exercise room last April!"

Jan actually groaned. Susie gasped and then let out what Dan was thinking. "Oh Gawd! What are we gonna do?!?"

Dan decided to try and distract the twins. "Wait! We did not have sex! I have not had intercourse with your sisters! Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you know the definition of the word intercourse? It did not happen! We haven't done any of that!"

Traci just smiled at her three siblings lying together in Don's bed. "Yeah, RIGHT! Don, you can't lie to us. We've been able to detect your little lies since we were seven or eight. And your big ones are too easy for us!"

Huh?!? I actually tell them the literal truth and they assure me that I'm lyin'? He considered the converse. Does this mean I can lie to them an' get away with it?

Dan turned and looked Susie in the eye. "Susie, you know what we have not done." He next turned back to Jan. "And you know you're still a virgin, Jan. Don't let these two little girls get to you."

The two younger girls seemed slightly surprised at what he said.

Jan smiled in a lopsided fashion and winked at him with her right eye. That was the eye the twins couldn't see. "Thanks for sharing that with those two, Don!" She actually swatted him on his visible, right shoulder. Her eyes were bright with a shared truth that they held between them.

The two twins looked on and watched both of their sisters' reactions. Apparently, while they might have believed the last statement offered up by their eldest sister, they weren't accepting anything else.

"OK, OK. So maybe you and Jan haven't done it — YET! But we just know that you and Susie have done it!" It was Traci who again laid out the accusation.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but as far as I'm personally aware — my dick has never been between Susie's legs. Do you understand what I'm tellin' you? Since I got out of the hospital I have not had intercourse with Susie. Just as I haven't had intercourse with Jan! I have not fucked, screwed, or made love with your older sisters! Can't you two get that through your heads?!?"

"WHATEVER! We just want our own cuddling time with you! Do you get that?!? You set some time aside to cuddle up with us! Or else..."

Dan read the signs and suddenly realized that he was headed towards an impasse with the amazing Nichols twins.

What the hell caused them to come up with this craziness on this of all mornings? Is this some sorta weird reaction to Henry being hurt last night? Have Terri and Traci lost it? Can eleven year old girls suddenly go crazy in response to the stress of their father being injured?

Dan shook his head and snorted. "To use your own words... Yeah, RIGHT! You girls can just keep on dreamin'. There ain't no way that I'm gonna ever be found cuddlin' with my little sisters in my bed. It's not so bad if I get a few hugs from MY stepsisters. We've got a history of doing this sort of thing. But the same sort of hugs could be really badly misinterpreted if they happened with my little sisters. It ain't gonna happen!"

"YES IT WILL!" That was in stereo synchrony from the twins.

"What's wrong with you two?!?" That came from Susie.

"NO! It won't!" That was from Dan.

Jan exclaimed. "You can't mean that!"

The exclamations of the three caused a cacophonous mixture that the twins seem to have no problem with processing.

"It'll happen." That came from Traci.

"NO! IT WILL NOT!" Dan thought furiously — trying to find a way to run a flanking operation against the weird demands of the two eleven year old girls.

Both of the twins just grinned at him. "You just think about it, Big Brother." That was from Terri.

"Yeah, you keep that in mind. Start setting aside some cuddling time for us." Traci winked at him as she told him that.

And with that the Nichols twins turned and exited Don's room leaving an equally stunned Dan, Jan, and Susie wondering about what had just happened to them.

Once the twins were out the door the three of them sat up in Don's bed and Dan didn't even notice the wonderful views of sheer, exposed, brassiere-clad flesh that were being displayed. At that moment nipples just couldn't quite catch his attention, mentally. The body of Don might have reacted otherwise, but Dan was really trying to maintain some control over the situation he was finding himself in. Moreover, his mind was truly distracted by the weird discussion that had just occurred.

He tried to think about what he needed to say. It was an unfortunate fact that he was residing in the body of a fifteen year old teenaged boy. Life would have been easier if he'd been back in his old, abused 50 year old carcass. He did manage to work around the distractions presented by his awareness of his body's youth.

"OH-KAAAYYYY... I think the last several minutes worth of discussion settles things! I am not doing anything with you two within the walls of this household! We are goin' to remain celibate while together here under the roof of the Nichols' home!"

He was slowly shaking his head sideways as he considered the possible disaster that they might have just avoided. Maybe...

He was brought out of his reverie regarding the disaster they might have avoided by the two fists lightly smacking into his shoulders. He looked to either side and found both Jan and Susie smiling at him.

Jan hit him with a familiar verbal punch. "I quote — 'Yeah! RIGHT!'" She started laughing in her wonderful fashion and was joined by Susie when the blond started giggling.

I am fuckin' doomed!

The three of them got out of Don's bed and then exited Don's room. Dan couldn't shake the company as he headed for the bathroom across the hall from Don's room. As he grabbed fresh towels and wash cloths he found that both Jan and Susie accompanied him.

Now what?

He turned to the two sisters. "What are you two thinkin' you're doin'?"

Jan just grinned at him. "Oh, we're just going to help our heroic big little brother clean up before he has to show up at school and take off his clothes."

Susie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you need help with those bandages on your face and with that bruise on you leg. We'll make sure that you're presentable and all that stuff." She ended that with a grin and giggle.

Actually, both young women were grinning and giggling like little girls as they directed a reluctant Dan through the bathroom door.

What followed was agreeable and not especially too sexual. There was certainly an underlying sexual element to what occurred. But, what had already passed that morning was in the minds of all three of them and Dan simply found himself the target of the caring ministrations of Don's stepsisters.

Then, though — there were the three individuals who had to use toilet to relieve the pressure of their bladders. Dan recalled the sharing of toilet facilities with his wife and old girlfriends. He noticed the grins of the sisters as he emptied out Don's bladder. He tried to find something to do as Jan and Susie peed into the bowl. He was only partially successful as he found himself attracted to the sounds made as each sister changed the water from blue to green.

He ended up having his facial bandage removed and the injured area gently cleaned. Jan and Susie helped him with scraping away what growth of whiskers that had appeared on Don's face. The two girls seemed to take some great joy in removing what little growth of facial hair had appeared on his face. They lovingly spread the shaving gel over his chin and lathered it up. Jan was obviously an expert at shaving as she helped him in rendering his chin and adjacent portions of Don's face and neck as expanses of skin as smooth as a baby's behind. He was musing that a girl who had to shave all of her legs and underarms just might know something about how to shave a guy's face when things suddenly switched gears, yet again.

This occurred as Susie removed his shirt and Jan dropped his boxers. The two sisters shoved Don's naked body into the shower and soaped him up and down in an effort to remove the buildup of dirt and the mildly offensive body odor he'd carried to bed from the previous day's efforts.

He was still concerned about what might be happening after the earlier encounters with Gwen Nichols and her twin daughters. He kept pushing away the hands of Jan and Susie as they tried to soap up and stroke Don's genitals.

What the hell is it about me in this boy's body?!? These two are outah control this mornin'! Even frightened and accused of doin' things they continue to try an' do more things! This is damned crazy! If Gwen has a key to the bathroom door then we'll all be made to suffer. What can I do to get these two to quit this craziness?

He slapped at hands and tried not to smile at the giggles his resistance elicited from Jan and Susie. They accused him of being unappreciative of their care and an ungrateful boy.

Dan shook Don's head and reminded them that he wasn't exactly a boy and that he wasn't being the least bit unappreciative. He was just trying to protect them all from their urges.

The play continued for awhile as the sisters tried to clean him in a fashion that he actually found alarming — given where they were.

All of their antics ended when he used his strength and some aspect of his martial arts skills to pull both girls into the shower (still wearing their panties and bras) as he made his own hasty exit from that enclosure. He immediately braced the sliding glass door closed with his right foot as he grabbed up a towel to dry off with.

Jan and Susie squealed and complained about his maneuvers and how he'd shoved them into the shower while they were still wearing their underwear. Dan blithely disregarded their comments as he finished drying off and wrapped himself up in the towel he'd just used to dry off with.

Dan eventually managed to return to Don's bedroom and got himself once again dressed for undressing. He thought of that fact and groaned in response to that very simple fact of how his life was being manipulated by the damned program. Then, he thought of what the twins knew about what had been going on and groaned again. Then, he considered what he'd just escaped in the bathroom and groaned over two conflicting, contradictory urges. His thoughts continued on to other aspects of his life and he groaned internally yet again and again.

He took a few minutes to make sure of his M-4 Carbine and the MP-5 PDW he'd be carrying out to Jan's car. He still had his vest and he made sure that things were properly distributed in regards to its loading of magazines.

Then, he went on down the stairway to the main floor of the Nichols household. He dropped the two black, nylon, padded weapons cases onto the living room sofa and went on into the kitchen.

Five female faces took in his arrival and every single one of them smiled at him. He was about to say something to them as he slid into his customary seat at the kitchen table. He was trying to relax back into the familial environment to which he'd recently grown accustomed when it happened.

He wasn't expecting it. However, he should have considered the possibility of such actions. The front door opened without any announcement from the security system. Dan spun about in expectation of trouble. Instead, there stood Margaret Nichols just inside the entrance. She had her three children with her and the first one through the door was Addie. And Addie's objective became immediately clear as she advanced upon her cousin Don.

Don's younger cousin wrapped Dan in her arms and gave him a hug that would have been dangerous to his continued health if the 13 year old girl had been more muscular.

"Are you alright, Don? I've been worried about you since what happened yesterday." The young girl's eyes were locked into a close examination of his bruised and injured facial features.

Dan found himself having a bit of a problem with his breathing. DAMN! It's really true! She's got it, too!

Dan suppressed a shudder as he felt Don's young cousin grind her lithe form into the body that he inhabited.

"Addie! Don't be hugging your cousin so hard! He's been hurt! Can't you see that wound and those bruises on his face?!? He's got other injuries that you can't see! Think before you do something like that!" Margaret Nichols sounded a bit annoyed with her daughter, Dan thought.

"OH! I'm so sorry Don!" Addie released her grip and backed away from him before turning to her mother. "I'm sorry Mom. I just wanted to give Don a hug!"

Addie Nichols' face was showing a blush as she released her older cousin's body from her intense, insistent hug. Her release of him was accompanied by smirks and giggles from her two younger siblings Michael and Sarah.

Dan decided to try and get things back to something other than this focus of Addie on him. He let out a bit of breath. "That's OK Addie. I'm tough enough to handle being tackled by my little cousin." He managed a grin for her benefit.

What he got in return was a smile that was nearly blinding. Addie was very obviously overjoyed with the prospect of thinking about tackling her older cousin. She seemed to enjoy having her older cousin joke with her — especially on what seemed like a very personal basis.

He looked over to see Gwen and Margaret exchanging a shared look in response to the way that Margaret's daughter was acting.

A quick glance towards Jan, Susie, and the twins caught interesting expressions. Jan was grinning at what she'd seen. Susie seemed to be displaying a mix of surprise and acceptance at what Addie had been doing. The twins had a close copy of their earlier delight at finding their sisters abed with their brother. Their eyes were bright and shining and grins were back on their faces.

I am doomed, doomed, doomed...

He turned Don's body away from the entryway and moved towards the kitchen. As he did so he felt Addie trailing along behind. She was attempting to stay close. Dan took another glimpse towards Jan and saw that she was smiling at the sight of Addie trailing along behind him.

Aaahhhh, SHIT! And I thought that I had problems with Julie! What is it about me in Don's body? Am I exuding sex pheromones or something?!?

Gwen, Margaret, Jan, and Susie worked in the kitchen to prepare the breakfast for all ten of them present. Dan was left to answer a series of questions about his actions from the prior day. While the two younger offspring of William and Margaret mostly just listened, Dan found himself being grilled by Addie and the twins. Terri and Traci were seemingly observing how their cousin was interacting with their brother and Dan could just detect their delight at discovering another female wholly enamored with Don.

Aaahhhh damn! They're gonna know everything about me and this crazy attraction that girls have for me. What am I gonna do about this? They're gonna try and blackmail me into doin' something that's just plain wrong.

He kept up his act for the benefit of Addie, Michael, and Sarah. He wasn't too sure how effective his efforts might be with Addie, as she seemed to be befuddled with some sort of lust for Don. He hoped that what he was attempting was successful with the two younger children. He just hated to think how they might be harmed if they realized that their older sister and cousins might be contemplating actual incest with Don.

Breakfast was thankfully absent of any overt forms of innuendo or other expressions from the twins, Addie, or Jan and Susie. All of them seemed to suppress what they might be feeling in the presence of their mothers.

Gwen shared with them the news that Henry appeared to be fully recovered from the effects of the stunner fire that he'd suffered the previous evening. She'd spoken with him earlier and Martha Thomas had told her that he was his usual self. All test results were in and the monitoring equipment was reporting that his vital signs were normal. He'd be coming home that morning.

Dan felt relieved at hearing that news. It had been partly his fault that Henry had ended up in the hospital. That was something that he couldn't escape or set aside. He knew it was mostly the fault of the crazy program and its personnel. Still, some portion of the assault on Henry was directly the consequence of his actions.

The four girls of the Nichols household were upbeat hearing that their father would be home when they got out of school.
