It couldn't be! I come home from college to visit and this! How could Mom not see it? \par Stacy and Jeff. I'd seen the way Stacy did things with Jeff. The way she'd hand him things. And take them from him. Sharing significant looks but without a word. I'd seen that at school. They were *doing it*! It was plain as the nose on their faces. \par My younger brother and sister. I had to school myself not to stare at them. And Mom, seemingly not noticing a thing! How could she miss it? \par That night I was back in my old room. I couldn't get my mind off it. What could I do? I looked up and Stacy was in the room with me. She was looking at me--I wanted to wipe that knowing smile off her face. I just stared at her. \par "Why don't you say it?" she asked, "Think I don't know what you're thinking?" \par I couldn't believe she'd bring up the subject! Well, it was broached now. "Stacy! How could you *do* that?" \par "You *see* what a *hunk* he is. He could pick you up as if you were a child." She was right: Jeff had really filled out. "You couldn't resist him for a second if he tried. Or have you gotten *other* kinds of ideas from that college?" \par Her smile was so wicked. She approached me and stood above me as I sat on the bed. No, I didn't have her *other* ideas! She looked down at me over her chest--she was four inches taller than me and *much* bigger--I felt like a child next to her. "Well?" she asked quietly and put her hand under my chin. I leaned back to draw away but it wasn't enough to escape her. I was so afraid of what she'd do next. But she just grinned and turned around and walked out. \par I was left alone. Stacy and Jeff! And Stacy! She was so forward, so self- assured! What had she done to Jeff? \par I awoke. It was still night. "Wake up," came a whisper . It was Jeff! By my bed! He turned on a small light by my bed. "Stacy said you want me," he went on. He pulled my cover off, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and took hold of my shoulder. He was so strong and I was so afraid. \par He paused and looked at me. "She lied, didn't she?" he said. Suddenly he seemed so sweet. "Don't worry, I don't want to *rape* you." He carefully covered me up and kissed me on the forehead. Then he stood up and turned to leave. \par My hand. It shot out and grabbed his wrist. Staying him. He turned and looked back down at me. He looked so serious. I was so scared. \par He sat down. "Don't worry," he said, "we won't actually do it." He uncovered me again. He slipped his hand under the hem of my nightgown-- on my leg. Softly he slid it up. Soon my nightgown was bunched up in front and his hand was there. He fingered me. Slowly, more and more. My breath started getting rough and I breathed larger and larger breaths. He looked down at me with the most loving smile. \par I didn't know *what* my body was doing. Was I writhing too much? I didn't care. I mustn't scream though. He didn't stop... just went on and on. \par And looked down on me as he sat there. \par It was too much. I came. More and more--I couldn't believe it. He was so good--Stacy must have taught him. What did she *do* to him? \par He kissed me again on the forehead and he was gone. I lay there and dreamed about it. \par He smiled at me the next day but then I was going back to school. The next time I was home he had a girlfriend. He got me alone and told me that he was faithful to her. I was glad about him and Stacy but I couldn't help thinking about the night when he came to me. \par That was years ago--now he's faithful to his wife. Completely. I still look at him sometimes and he still sometimes does little things for me without asking. And I see his wife noticing--how she tries to hide the shock and fear. And I know exactly what she feels but I can't talk to her. No matter what I said, she would feel worse. If she only knew how lucky she is. \par }\pard\plain \ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid8877502 \fs24\lang5129\langfe5129\cgrid\langnp5129\langfenp5129 {\f1\insrsid11617651 (}{\insrsid11617651 Copyright Information Held By Author}{\insrsid11617651 ) \par \par *****************************************************************************}{\insrsid11617651 }{\lbr3\insrsid11617651 \line }{\f1\insrsid10554034\charrsid7239019 \par \par }{\f1\ul\insrsid5657061\charrsid7239019 Stacy}{\f1\ul\insrsid12788411 \par }{\f1\ul\insrsid12458708 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\nowidctlpar\wrapdefault\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid12458708 {\i\f1\insrsid12458708 Have you seen that story by your sister before, Stacy? \par \par }{\f1\insrsid12458708 No. \par \par }{\i\f1\insrsid12458708 Can you understand now that the police are suspicious her death might not have been the accident it appears?

What needs to be recognised is that up until that point her father\rquote s campaign of seduction had been so successful that }{\i\f1\insrsid4074500 Deirdre almost certainly did not regard herself as being in need of rescue from anything, and in fact }{\i\f1\insrsid12468409 very likely }{\i\f1\insrsid4074500 regarded her \lquote rescue\rquote by her mother as something else entirely. \par \par It can only be speculation, but I think it likely that the bricks of the relationship }{\i\f1\insrsid1771766 will have}{\i\f1\insrsid4074500 been placed slowly, carefully and with great forethought and planning. There will have been no clear \lquote beginning\rquote , just a gradual progression from innocent touching and the playing of innocent secret games, to genital fondling, nak edness and a far, far greater secret to be maintained. Too he will have been exquisitely careful not to push it too far or too fast, making nothing of his penis at first and only slowly bringing her attention to its importance to him, and her power with respect to it. It is possible to imagine perhaps two years elapsing since the \lquote seduction\rquote began before any attempt at full penetration }{\i\f1\insrsid16477509 was made, and that only after he had made Deidre fully aware of the place and importance of intercourse in a \lquote close\rquote and loving relationship.

It is in my mind unquestionable that the man did love the little girl in his fashion}{\i\f1\insrsid6364856 , perhaps love her even more for her consent, and for this reason did not persist in the face of the pain those attempts would have caused her. Perhaps t oo, though, he feared the pain of penetration if he forced himself into her would imperil the precarious relationship, changing the little girl\rquote s perception of him for the worse.

Would any man, would any woman, have condemned Jeff had he had sex with his elder sister because she consented to it as an act of love? \par \par But it was not enough for Jeff.

It was a very mature, adult, even commendable decision.

Of course. \par \par }{\i\f1\insrsid5968146 You see, this is my problem, Penny. There was no sign of any note in Deirdre\rquote s apartment. The picture I}{\i\f1\insrsid15037738 have}{\i\f1\insrsid5968146 of Deirdre is that she was neat to the point of fastidiousness. Loose ends were something she would have abhorred, and an unexplained suicide is a major loose end for those left behind. Frankly I\rquote m not at all comfortable with the idea that she would have taken her life without }{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 explaining why, and doing all she could to take full responsibility. The police}{\i\f1\insrsid6315671 }{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 examined very closely the hard-drive on her PC. They were looking for emails or anything relating to business difficulties, but they came across a little story Deirdre had written. It reads like fiction but I\rquote m satisfied the events it relates actually happened, and is about a small incident that happened when Deirdre and Jeff were little more than children, more than ten years ago now. And, well, it describes Jeff in Deirdre\rquote s bedroom, on her bed naked }{\i\f1\insrsid6315671 with her}{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 , and}{\i\f1\insrsid6315671 implies}{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 an incestuous relationship. S o naturally the police have to wonder if perhaps she was threatening Jeff with disclosure, blackmailing him by threatening to send to story to you}{\i\f1\insrsid6315671 or making it public}{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 . And if perhaps Jeff pushed her o}{ \i\f1\insrsid1319562 ff that balcony}{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 to prevent it.}{\i\f1\insrsid5968146 \par }{\i\f1\insrsid1534797 \par }{\f1\insrsid1534797 No. \par }{\f1\insrsid6113730 \par }{\i\f1\insrsid6113730 I have to admit it is a coherent scenario.
