Meira's Family Getaway Ch. 03

— CAMPGROUNDS —

The breeze hit me, and I was reminded how weird it was to just walk outside with your dick out. Luckily being surrounded by family – who were also naked – made it easier. Looks like the other families are already out, I see some sitting at tables and others gathering around the cold bonfire. Guess we lost track of time in the showers.

“Looks like they’re already serving food, I’m starving.” Kerry started heading in the direction of a tent. The staff with chokers were standing next to trays, serving a line of smiling guests. My eyes began darting all about. This place for single mothers to anneal their families meant that there was a lack of older men. Certainly, a lack of men in general.

“Marie! So good to see you again!” I hear mom exclaim. A caramel-skinned woman with red streaked in her curly hair bounded towards her. They embraced, kissing each other on the cheek, breasts spreading as they pressed together.

“I missed you,” she said, turning to Kerry and embracing her again. “Are these the other two you kept telling me about?” She walked over and I focused on maintaining eye contact, her arms spread wide and she pulled Mara and me in. “I heard so much about y’all, and you -” pointing at me. “You made quite the impression on Meira, everyone’s already talking.”

“Oh, great, I hope. Nice to meet you too ma’am.” I said, while Mara nodded with a smile.

She looked around, “Where the hell is Nikki, I think she already got a table. Y’all wanna join?”

Mom looked to us for approval and we all nodded in unison. I watched as Kerry and mom greeted family after family, saying they’d catch up later. Something they looked pretty experienced doing.

When we got to the table I was taken aback, Nikki was beautiful. The first thing you’d notice is her nose, larger than other features with a high bridge. Pulling you in to notice the second-best features, her eyes. They were huge, accentuated by the long lashes and a perfectly placed mole on her dark skin.

“Kerry! Lydia! Damn, you two look good!” She remarked, staring Kerry up and down. “Hi! I’m Nikki”, she reached out her hand and Mara jumped in front of me to shake it enthusiastically.

“I’m Mara, you’re really pretty.”

“I’m Vincent, nice to meet you.” I tried to play cool, unlike my little sister.

“Mom and I will grab us all some plates, you guys can get to know Nikki” said Kerry, Marie got up to join the two of them.

Nikki broke the silence, “So? How was losing your virginity to your brother?”

We both looked at each other, then looked away, Mara stammered “It was… a little painful, my brother’s packing some heat.”

I felt my face flush and look up to see Nikki eyeing me. I clumsily try to take the focus off myself, “I mean, it’s not that bad, right? At least you came?”

Now Mara’s cheeks were flushed, Nikki finally saved us, “You two are cute, don’t worry, the shyness and awkwardness falls away pretty quickly. You’ll be too horny to care about the taboos.” I lost myself staring into her eyes while she was talking, I was snapped out of it by Marie putting a plate in front of Nikki.

“Eat up, you’ll need your strength,” Marie said, seemingly to the whole table.

The plate mom put in front of me had lots of greens, an assortment of grilled vegetables, and a handful of what looked to be pork. “Are you okay with carnitas, Vince?” I look up and nod.

“And a vegan plate for my princess.” Kerry said, planting a mocking kiss on Mara’s head. Mara eyed her, wiping where she kissed in mock disgust. After a few bites and reminiscent stories of cunnilingus between the four of them, I see surrounding guests standing up and looking in one direction. I crane my neck, and as soon as I spot it, start to hear cheering.

“Looks like someone’s gotten started!” said Nikki. She stood up and whooped with everyone else. From afar I see someone holding up the woman who looks like the tattooed redhead that carried Mara to our cabin. He’s holding her in the air, legs dangling while she’s gripping his shoulders.

“Wait, you’re allowed to fuck the staff?” I blurted out.

“Family” replied mom, matter-of-factly. “We’ll be doing some work too to support this place, so don’t think they’re just hired help.”

“Sorry, yeah I remember you mentioning that. I just thought they weren’t participating in this…” I trailed off unsure how to describe the situation.

“Lifestyle,” said Marie. “It’s a lifestyle, and it’s not just somethin’ we do here, hon. We’re all here to bond, as a family.” I notice her pretty smile as I sit back down.

Kerry cuts in, “Don’t worry, it takes time to adjust your mentality, maybe you should meet some of the other new people. Having people at the same level helps you adjust.”

“Yeah, you had Derrick when you first got here, right?” asked Nikki.

“Yeah, but I haven’t seen him since, heard he moved away to live with his dad. His loss though, I was bonding and taking plenty of dick last summer.” Kerry chuckled with Nikki and I thought about it. Picturing my sister getting railed, I unconsciously tensed my shoulders.

I was a little shocked at how uncomfortable I was seeing it in my mind. Did I feel a sense of ownership? Or was it jealousy? Saying it sounded so silly, before today I wouldn’t have cared who Kerry fucked. Now, I’m here with a knot forming in my stomach.

“You good, Vince?” Her voice broke through and I looked up, putting on a smile.

“Yeah, my stomach’s feeling funky. Maybe I’m just adjusting after the tea this morning.”

Nikki jumped in, “That’s right, you were moving even without the recovery cup. That’s a first.”

“Yeah, may be all the army experimentation they did.” I joked, “am I allowed to go check out the rest of the campgrounds?” I asked, needing to clear my head.

“Of course, sweetie, do you need me to come with and show you around?” said mom.

“I’ve got him, he’ll get lost otherwise.” Kerry interjected.

Mara piped up, “Umm, can I tag along too? It’s boring without my phone. No offense.”

“Sibling tour then.” I made a half smile and beckoned them.

“See you guys, be safe!” yelled mom as we walked away.

“So, where’s a good place to start?” I looked towards a path beyond the food tent. “Is there a map or anything?”

“No, as much as I’d like one, everyone uses touring the place as another opportunity to bond.” said Kerry. “We can start there though.” She gestured towards the same path.

On our way there we passed the couple who were fucking earlier, I caught Mara craning her neck to watch. The redhead was on her knees blowing him, or possibly cleaning the cum off his dick. He was lanky, maybe my age, and thoroughly enjoying her mouth with his eyes closed, ignoring everyone watching.

“I think Hillary’s got a thing for Hopefuls – the uh, newcomers.” Kerry mentioned.

“That’s kinda hot, just seeing people fucking out in the open.” said Mara.

Kerry looked back at her, “Yeah you guys’re gonna see that happen a lot more once people get back into the groove of things. Okay, first spot we’re hitting will really… open you guys up. Maybe even get you in the same headspace as the rest of the family.”

Before I knew it the shade from the forest thickened as we walked, and once we rounded a curve there was a fork. A pretty wide one, and from afar there were some white stones forming what looked like a circle.

Kerry motioned towards the stones, “That’s the vision pool, it’s important to us because it’s where we start educating people on the family tenants.”

“So like, indoctrination?” I replied dryly. “I’ve been through enough of it to know what that means.” As we got closer, I noticed there was a small pool in the circle with a small stream coming from one of the stones.

It’s the same sigil I’ve been seeing around here, except this time the moon symbol was on the bottom, water coming out of the center of the crescent.

“Great, more cult shit,” said Mara, looking skeptically at Kerry.

“We all went through this, and it’s not so bad, maybe you might even enjoy it.” Kerry smiled. “You can both go in, lay in the water, close your eyes, and let your thoughts wander.”

Mara motioned her hand from me to the pool, “You first.”

“I said both of you, and luckily everyone’s still eating. Otherwise you’d have to wait forever after all the other Hopefuls. Only one family can use it at a time.” replied Kerry.

“Here goes nothing,” I said, while grabbing Mara’s hand. She tightened as we stepped over the stones. The pool was unexpectedly warm, I even felt a little lighter. I start bending my knees and notice Mara let go, looking back to Kerry.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find you float pretty easily.” said Kerry, anticipating Mara’s concern.

I lay down, despite the fear of my face going underwater it stops at my ears. I look over and see Mara doing the same. She grabs my hand again and I take a deep breath and close my eyes.

Staring at the back of my eyelids, I was reminded of the meditation exercises we did after returning from deployment.

Deployment. I started thinking about my squad, their faces framed by helmets and body armor going up to their necks. Leading into thoughts of the deployment, the smells, and the sounds.

The memories of the sounds are coming in, and I realize I’m hearing gunfire. What the fuck? I can even smell the burning carbon, the grit of dirt and sweat against my chest. Now I can hear screaming.

Colors begin streaming in, they’re making odd shapes on the edges of my vision. I’m not sure what to do, and now I hear their voices. The sound of yelling, trying to call out distances and directions in the middle of a firefight. I want to scream back but I can’t seem to make any words with my mouth. My eyes begin burning as I try to open them, I feel the sensation of tears streaming down my face.

I don’t want to be here anymore, please.

Suddenly things stop, the sounds are fading and despite my mind’s efforts I can’t form the faces of my squad mates. The colors look like a shifting rainbow and the odd circles turn into streaks. They coalesce into a single black circle like I’m going through some sort of hyperdrive in space.
