"Anal."

The four of them sat naked around the table by Joyce's pool, waiting for their dinner to grill. Bernie and Gary were holding hands, and Gary's sister Lil was bright-eyed after a post-swim shower with Joyce.

"How about you, dears?" Joyce asked Bernie and Gary. "What are you planning for the summer?"

Gary looked at his girlfriend and squeezed her hand, then looked back to Bernie's mom. "Aside from spending more time together?" he said. "Well..."

"Anal," Bernie blurted out.

Lil squeaked in surprise. She looked at her brother and his girlfriend, then giggled.

Joyce laughed. "Well, it's about time, dears," she said. "How hard have you been trying to hide it from each other?"

Bernie and Gary blushed. They looked at each other and recalled each other's confessions. Bernie's anal masturbation practices with her mother and her recent trip to experiment with anal intercourse with her cousin Ben. Gary's recent episode with his mom, fingering each other anally, and his secret fuck-buddy relationship with his friend Peter.

"I declare, young people these days," Joyce said. "I'm pleased you're finally talking with each other." She smiled. "I was thinking about your plans outside of bed. Are you still doing odd jobs, Gary?"
