Dealing with your step-mother

You wake up the next morning and sneak in to see how the girls are doing. You find them asleep, naked and wrapped around each other in Teresa’s bed. You quietly close the door and let the sleep before going and having a quick shower and getting dressed.

You go downstairs to breakfast and find you stepmother, Liana, preparing pancakes, probably for Teressa and her friends.

“Hey Liana” you say avoiding eye contact.

“Morning dear” she says. When she and your dad first married she tried to get you to call her mum, but she’s given that up. “Teresa has friends over so I’m making pancakes.”

“Sounds great.” You say. You wait until she flips the one she is making off the pan before calling her name so you can make eye contact and put her into a trance.

“Liana” you say “Tell me the truth. How would you feel about Teresa and I having sex?”

“Not good” she says, “You are brother and sister. You should not have sex.”

“We aren’t related” you point out.

“Still no. You are supposed to act like brother and sister, not lovers.”

You think about forcing her to accept it but instead decide to make her ignore it. “O.k. then, Liana, from now on, no matter how obvious it becomes, you will not realise that your daughter and I are lovers. Even seeing us having sex you will rationalise away as something innocent. Do you understand?”

“Yes” she says.

“Now” you ask, “How would you feel about finding out that your daughter was bisexual and had sex with other women?”

“Bad.” She says “Homosexuality is wrong.”

You think about making her ignore that too but then get annoyed at how close minded she is. “Liana” you say, “You want your daughter to be happy. If Teresa wishes to love other women you will be happy for her and will accept her for who she is. You will support her completely. Do you understand?”

“Yes” she says “I will support ... I will … I?”

You can tell she isn’t happy and that she might be fighting your power.

“Would you prefer to be oblivious to Teresa’s bisexual activities?”

“Yes” says Liana.

“Fine. Just as with Teresa and I being lovers you will not realise that Teresa is having sex with girls, no matter how obvious it is. No matter what happens you will rationalise it away as something else, something innocent and non-lesbian.”

Liana seems happier with that command.

Irritated at her you command her to change your sheets and get all the stains out of them without wondering what they are and then do the same for Teresa’s bed once she and her friends have left. You then order her to clean the house and then, when you father comes home, offer to do the one thing she knows he’s wanted her to do that she has always been afraid or uncomfortable about and to enjoy it so much that she’ll want to do it again.

You break the trance and leave before she can offer you any more pancakes.
