We continued looking through the pictures.
“Ooops! I don’t think we were meant to see this one.” I quickly turned the picture over.
“Let me see.” Lucy put her hand on mine and turned the picture back.
I put up only a token resistance. It was a picture of our grandmother with a couple. The man was lifting the woman’s shirt over her head. The woman was not wearing a bra and our grandmother’s hands were on the woman’s bare breasts.
Together we turned over the next few pictures. “Do you think they were…” I did not finish the question.
“Do I think they were what?” Lucy asked her voice sounding softer.
Our hands met as we went for the next picture. Lucy turned it over and without thinking I put my hand on her thigh and felt her body heat through her thin skirt. She leaned closer to me so that I could see the picture and my fingers came to a stop against her pubic mound. I kept my fingers there for a second before taking my hand away. There was nowhere for me to put my hand.
“It’s ok. You can put your hand back on my leg.” Lucy said.
I put my hand on the inside of her thigh and squeezed it a playfully. Lucy smiled and as she leant forward to take another picture from the box her thighs moved apart and my fingers came to rest against her pubic mound again. She did not say anything about my hand.
Our grandmother and the man were undressing the woman. Lucy put the picture down and leaning forward to pick up another picture her breasts touched my arm.
“Wow! I would never have guessed it. Would you?”
Lucy looked at me quizzically. “I knew. I thought you did too.”
“WHAT! When did you find out?”
“When I was nineteen. Aunt Mandy told me. Mum and I were arguing about Mark. I knew nana would understand. I was going to storm out of the house and go to nana’s. Mum said I couldn’t go because they had visitors. But I was determined. Mandy was staying with us and explained that nana and granddad were having a sex party.”
“Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
“Because you were far too young. You were only eleven. I’m surprised you’ve only just found out. Granddad and nana obviously thought you knew, that’s why they asked you to look after these pictures.”
“Do you think mum and dad know about these pictures?”
“They know. Mum refuses to talk about what nana and granddad do so she certainly won’t look at these. Dad’s known for years. They’re his parents. It doesn’t bother him.”
In the next set of pictures our grandmother was being undressed by the couple.
“So that’s what you look like naked.” I laughed holding up a picture.
“If what everyone says about me looking like nana is true then I do look like that.” Lucy was not bothered that I was staring at a picture of a naked woman that looked exactly like her.
“You’ve got fantastic breasts.”
“Thank you.”
“I could fuck her.” I said looking at the picture.
“Are you talking about me or nana?” Lucy asked. I did not answer.
There were pictures of our grandparents having sex. I saw my grandfather’s penis for the first time and realised where I got the gene for my big penis.
