I didn’t expect that she would, of course. I knew my mother. She
had suddenly found a way to get something that she wanted
more than anything else in the world, and she wasn’t going to
just let that go. But even with that knowledge, there was no way
that I could predict what she would do next.
If it hadn’t been obvious what her plan was on Friday when she
said she had to go to my grandmother’s for the weekend on
short notice, it was plain as day what she was doing when she
texted Dad and me on Sunday that she would need to stay there.

she left so there would be no chance either of us would want to

me with the feeling that she wanted me knocked up by Daddy.
She seemed even more eager about it than I was. For the few
days before she left, she had been much more public in her displays of affection for him. It was almost like she wanted me
to see what she did to drive him crazy. On several occasions, I
had even seen a hard ridge in Daddy’s pants. Each time I did, I had to excuse myself so that I could go imagine impaling myself on him while I slid my fingers in and out of my dripping hole. It
was obvious what I wanted, and what Mom wanted, so why was
I so unsure of what I should do next?
