Chapter 1

Jodi shifted in her seat as she listened to Jim and Lowell discussing business.
Lowell's wife Mandy was eating quietly although she seemed preoccupied by
something she hadn't confided to Jodi about yet. "Oh well!" she thought, "These
business dinners for tax purposes sure do try one's patience! Maybe that's what
is bothering Mandy!"

The band members returned to the stage after their break and began to liven
things up again. Jodi had to admit the band was one of the better ones the
'Blue Rendezvous' had offered for a while.

Jodi looked up as a handsome young man stood beside her to ask if she would
like to dance, turning to look at Jim who smiled and nodded, she stood to walk
to the dance floor on his arm. Gregg, she learned while they danced, was a
friend of a mutual friend she hadn't talked to for a while. While Gregg was a
sparking conversationalist, his dancing left something to be desired. Nursing
her sore toe he had accidentally stepped on, she ordered another Lime Margarita
for medicinal purposes as soon as she returned to her table.

Mandy remarked, "I need to powder my nose Jodi.' Jodi replied, "Just a minute,
I'll go with you!"

Patting Jim on the shoulder to get his attention, she told him, "Mandy and I
are going to go powder our noses, be back in a bit!"

Waving her away, Jim turned to continue talking to Lowell

"Boy those guys are something aren't they?" Mandy complained. Jodi smiled and
retorted, "At least they think so don't they?"

Mandy fumed, "Here we are at the best restaurant and floor show for two hundred
miles in any direction, and those two sit all evening and talk of nothing but
business!""I don't know about you Mandy!" Jodi remarked, "But Jim takes good
care of me and the children, I don't have much to complain about!" she went on.

Smiling brightly at Jodi, Mandy confessed, "I guess I don't either! Oh well!
Let's make the best of the occasion OK?" Jodi smiled and nodded she would do
the best she could.

Thinking quietly, she thought about getting the children prepared for their
annual visit to their father. It seemed it got harder every year as they got
older. Shana was the biggest problem. She wanted to take all her clothing, her
bedroom furniture, dressing room, and of course, the dog.

The dog was a mess. The fool thing thought it was a person. It was comical to
see him walking around on his hind legs, moaning and trying to talk. There were
times, when he actually seemed to say things.

The other day the neighbors cat was stuck up a tree in their yard and the dog
had come in the house and she was almost certain, had said, "CAT."

Shanna followed the dog into the yard, and sure enough, there was the cat
clinging nervously to a limb way the hell up in the top of the tree. The
fireman had to get a ladder truck to reach high enough to pull the cat off the
limb.

"Some dog! The fool likes cats! Sheesh!" she mused.


Chapter 2

Jim woke up to the smell of fresh coffee and breakfast. That Jodi sure was
something. They hadn't gotten in until nearly 2 am and there she was cooking
breakfast as usual. The boy was sitting at the kitchen table eating waffles and
drinking hot chocolate as Jim gave Jodi a kiss and a pat on the butt.

Little Jim cackled and said, "Daddy's giving mom a spanking this morning. Mom's
been bad?"

Jodi turned to smile at him and replied, "No dear, Mom hasn't been bad. If
anything, Daddy has been the bad one keeping Mom up till the wee hours of the
morning!"

Jim smiled sheepishly at her and shrugged as he exclaimed, "Gotta make a buck
to keep this family in the style they've grown accustomed too, and the kid
there, with plenty of hot chocolate and waffles!"

"What about me?" Shana demanded, as she sat down at the table. "What do I get?"
Turning to look at her, Jim said, "How bout a black eye, fat lip, and any two
broken bones of your choice darling!"

Shana stuck out her lower lip and growled, "That's all I ever get! A beating
and a hard time!" Jim smiled wickedly at her and said, 'You're so easy to
please, my darling daughter!"

Smiling equally as wickedly, Shana said, "uhh Humm! Wait till I get married,
boy is it ever gonna cost you!"

Flashing an instant replay of the wicked smile, Jim replied, "Yeah! Right! Like
you're gonna find some guy dumb enough to have you!"

Pretending to be hurt, Shana pulled two waffles off the plate as she squirted
them with butter before pouring syrup over them.

Jim looked at Jodi busy at the waffle maker and asked, "What's on for today
honey?" Jodi turned and said, "Daddy called yesterday. I'm going to help him
hang some pictures. I'm his leveler you know." Jim smiled and replied, "Well
you are good at it for sure! Don't know how you do it!"

Shana agreed to watch Jim Jr. while Jodi went to help her dad with the picture
hanging job. Picking her purse off the kitchen counter, she said, "I should be
back no later than one. If we run into problems I'll call. You guys stay close
and Jim, you stay out of trouble O.K.?"

Jim Jr. looked at her with a pained expression, "Awwww Mom. I don't get into
trouble." He whined.

Jodi smiled and replied, "I know dear, it's your evil twin that gets you into
all the trouble!"

Shana interjected, "Don't worry mom. I won't beat him up bad if he gets into
trouble. Well, not real bad anyway!"

Junior went into the family room to turn on the Sony Playstation for risk free
mayhem. Shana walked her mom to the car as they talked. "Mom, Earl Enoch asked
me out Friday night. Will you talk to dad about letting me go?" putting her key
in the door lock, she said, "Do I know him?" Shana replied, "You remember? The
big guy with all the muscles you ooohed and ahhhed over last summer?"

Blushing slightly, Jodi exclaimed, "oh that guy! OK, I'll work on your dad!"
Smiling brightly, Shana chirped, "Thanks mom!" as she gave her a hug.


Chapter 3

Opening the kitchen door to her dad's house, Jodi saw him sitting in his
bathrobe at the kitchen table reading the morning paper! "Hi honey!" , he said
as she gave him a peck on the cheek. "How's the kids?" he asked as she sat down
to drink a cup of coffee.

"Oh you know!" she replied, "Mean as ever and twice as much trouble!"

Chuckling in his deep bass voice, he exclaimed, "Told ya you'd pay dear for all
the trouble you gave me and your mother!"

"OH DAD!" Jodi complained, "Don't remind me!" she begged.

Giving her a cheesy smile, he asked, "You ready to go to work?"

"Yeah in a minute," she replied. "What are we gonna do today?" she asked
rhetorically

He paused to think and said, "I have four new pictures to hang and I'm pretty
horny!"

Looking at him over the top of her cup, she asked, "How horny? Real horny or
just a little horny?"

"Bad horny!!" he replied.

Smiling an evil smile, she said, "Good, I'll take care of your horny first then
we'll hang the pictures!"

Walking into her father's bedroom, she pulled the drapes closed then went to
the bed to sit down as she removed her shoes. Her pussy was getting moist
thinking about fucking her dad!

They had started after her mom had died of cancer. Her mother was only sick a
few weeks after she was diagnosed before she died.

Jodi had been in college and had come home to be with her mom. Her mother and
father had been so close and loving to each other as well as her.

After her mom died, she stumbled in on her dad drunk and crying, her heart
melted for him.

She lay down with him to sleep with him all night in case he got sick cause he
wasn't a drinker. Laying quietly as he got up to stagger into the bathroom, she
heard him tinkle then flush before lowering the seat.

As he walked into the bedroom to get in bed, he saw her there and stopped dead
cold in his tracks. "What the hell!" he exclaimed, "What are you doing in my
bed Jodi?"

She paused, then said, "I was worried about you dad. I've never seen you drink
that much! I wanted to be close in case you got sick or something!"

Frowning as he thought it over, he replied, "Oh OK, well move over, I have to
lay down before I fall down!"

Laying down with a plop, he rolled over with his back to Jodi. In a few
minutes, he gasped, "God I'm going to be sick!"

Jodi warned, "Hang on while I get a pan and a washrag! Don't vomit till I get
back dad! Hear me?"

Rushing into the bathroom, she grabbed the mop bucket and a washcloth to run
cold water over it. Running back into the bedroom, she missed being there in
time by less than three steps.


Chapter 4

The rest of the night, he was deathly ill from the whiskey and couldn't sleep.
Finally, in the wee hours of the morning, he settled down enough to fall
asleep.

Jodi wearily crawled back in bed with her dad after she got the mess cleaned.

Falling asleep some time later after he did to awaken around nine am that
morning, she felt her dad snuggled up against her back. Then she felt his penis
hard and pressing into her hip. At first she felt embarrassed and tried to
scoot away from him.

When she did, his hand fell from her shoulder to land on her breast. His hand
began kneading her breast and as he did, her pajama top came open as his hand
went inside to fondle her bare breast.

She was certain he was dreaming, , thinking to herself, "Maybe he'll wake up in
a minute and realize I'm not mom!" she hoped.

Suddenly, he began humping her rear and in spite of herself, Jodi became turned
on and lay quietly as he dry fucked her butt.

Carefully reaching down between her legs, she began rubbing her clit as she put
two fingers inside her steadily moistening pussy.

She felt a warm wetness spreading over the back of her pajama bottoms as her
dad pressed against her. She understood then he had cum.

Just as she started to cum, she felt her dad raise up to look at what she was
doing. He said nothing. Just got out of bed and went in the bathroom.
Embarrassed and not knowing what to do, she quickly got up without finishing
and went into her room to take a shower.

A few minutes later, he met Jodi in the kitchen and both went about the
business of preparing breakfast without speaking.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her dad looking at her several times.
When she would turn to look at him, he would return to the paper or get up to
retrieve something from the kitchen counter or fridge.

The cat and mouse game continued all through breakfast. Jodi wasn't one to
really spare her thoughts, especially with her parents and decided to break the
zone of silence that seemed to have frozen their normal conversation.

Looking carefully at her dad, she said, "You know dad, you and I have been
really close as father and daughter haven't we? He glanced up and nodded before
saying, "Yes we have. I've always appreciated your honesty with me. Not many
girls your age would have been as candid on some of the subjects we've
discussed!"

"So what's the problem dad? Why aren't we talking about what happened this
morning?" she asked.

First paling, then reddening slightly, he smiled and replied, "Well, err uhh,
It's a little bit different don't you think?"

"You'll hear no argument from me on that count pop!" she chirped as she smiled
brightly.

Dropping her head as she thought as it was her habit to do, he watched as she
mulled over the implications of this morning's events. "Dad I don't know for
sure how you feel, but I feel that since mom's gone. Someone has to sort of
take her place in several areas. Maybe you need to hire a house keeper to help
with the house work. Someone to do the shopping. I realize you won't need much,
but the fact is, you have needs as well as any man does and it wouldn't be
sensible to pretend they didn't exist would it?" she asked

Maintaining a self composed facial expression, he smiled finally and replied,
"You are the sensible one aren't you?"

Giving him a sneer and cocking her head at an angle as she looked at him, she
challenged, "You got a problem with that buddy?"

For the first time since either of them had entered the kitchen, he visibly
relaxed and became more like his old jovial self.

"No Jodi I don't have a problem with that!" he said as he smiled easily. "Tell
me, since you've obviously given this a great deal more thought than I have,
what do you propose?" he inquired softly.


Chapter 5

"OK pop, let's let the facts speak for themselves! You're a man, you need a
woman, the only woman you ever knew is gone and someone has to fulfill the
obligation for her now! That's me!" she replied.

Carefully adjusting his glasses, he asked, "By what accounting do you submit
this summation to be accurate?"

Fearing he would raise an argument she would be unable to refute, she decided a
frontal attack was the best defense. After all, wasn't it her dad who always
said the best defense was a good offense?

"A lawyer till you draw your last breath right?" she chided gently with a smile

He chuckled and replied, "Of course dear, but you may rely on the mercy of the
court!"

"OK" she said, as she drew a deep breath.

"When you look at me, do you love me?" she asked softly.

Smiling and nodding in amusement, he said, "Of course I love you Jodi!"

"You know I love you pop! I've been loving you every since I can remember! So
what does all this love we have for each other mean?" she asked.

"Practically speaking. It should mean. " correcting himself before going on,
"It means we care about the welfare of the other and wish to hold the other
above harm, 'hold harmless', as it were!" he pontificated.

"My point exactly, hold harmless and caring for one another!" she exclaimed.

Before he could reply, she pushed on, "I want to do for you what no one else
can. I want you to use this body that you and my mother gave me for an unusual
purpose I'll admit, but none the less, I want you to make love to me and in
love and affection accept my gift to you as I offer it in love and affection!"
she said with a rush.

He looked at his daughter whom he loved more than anyone or anything, and
realized she loved him in a way no other daughter of his acquaintance had ever
loved a parent.

Looking at her as he tipped his head down to look at her over his glasses, he
asked, "You really mean this don't you?"

Standing, Jodi simply said, "Yes I do father!" Taking his hand to lead him from
the kitchen, she whispered, "We may as well begin dad. No point in waiting!"

Silently he followed her to her bedroom.

The first time was not as pleasant as Jodi had hoped. Her dad hadn't seen her
nude since she had been a little girl and he was embarrassed to see her now.
Also, he was flustered and couldn't get an erection for a while. Finally the
two had sat on the edge of the bed, simply holding each other's hand as they
spoke quietly.

"I'm sorry Jodi. This is such a big thing for me. I'm not accustomed to being
nude in front of you." He said in his embarrassment.

Putting her hand under his chin, she said, "Look at me dad!" turning slowly as
she encouraged him, he looked on his lovely daughter as his heart melted for
her.

"Look at my breasts. See how my nipples are erect and stand up?" she asked
Gazing at her as she spoke, he replied, "Yes honey! You have lovely breasts.
Much bigger and firmer than your mother's were!" as he compared her to her
mother in his mind's eye.

"Mother's breasts weren't always forty two Dad. At one time her breasts were
nineteen as mine are. They were full and firm then weren't they?" she asked

Smiling in remembrance, he said, "Yes very much so. Your mother had lovely
breasts when she was nineteen!" he went on.

Taking his hand, she gently guided him to the fiery thatch of pubic hair as she
spread her thighs to allow him inside them. Pressing his hand against her slit,
she asked, "Feel the wetness dad? I couldn't fake that you know. If I really
didn't want to be here with you, I would be dry!" she argued.

Looking down between his thighs, she saw his penis getting thicker and
lengthening as she spoke. Gradually, his penis became harder until it was
standing slightly at an angle to his thighs.

"Dad, I want you to put your hard cock inside me. I want to cum and feel you
cum inside me while we fuck!" Jerking his head to look at her at the word
'fuck', he smiled and put his free arm around her shoulders and whispered,
"Jodi, Jodi, my precious Jodi. How much I love you my precious one!"


Many times father and daughter had kissed but never before as they were doing
now. Jodi raised her lips to offer them to him as he looked down at her.
Pressing his lips against her own, he felt a thrill as her tongue insinuated
itself to part his own lips and seek his tongue inside.

Pressing her back as they kissed, he felt her take his hard cock in her hand
and guide it to the portal of her secret place as he rose above her.

Jodi Spread her thighs. Her father felt a quickening as the head of his cock
slipped inside her now flowing pussy.


Chapter 6

With a cry he plunged inside her glove soft quim to stop at her maidenhead.
Hesitating, he looked down into Jodi's eyes as she nodded her assent for him to
continue.

Jodi cringed slightly as he began pressing his hard cock on her maidenhead.
Suddenly he burst through as it felt to her she was being split in two.

"Ohhh!" she moaned as he began thrusting inside her. Soon the fullness of his
hard cock supplanted the pain she had felt when he had burst her cherry. Now
she began helping him thrust as the feeling of intense sexual desire overtook
them.

Having masturbated many times in her young life. The feeling of her father's
hard cock brought forth a new and different feeling unlike any she had ever
felt.

She had a sensation of abandoning herself to be carried away by her father's
cock in her grasping pussy.

When he thrust in, she felt her pussy involuntarily releasing its grip to
retake it as he withdrew.

Soon the sense of orgasm fed by the sensuality of her father fucking her,
became the prize she sought above all others.

Her thighs felt sensitive and vulnerable as she wrapped them ever tighter
around his thighs. Her anus began to quiver and as she felt him beginning to
swell and lengthen inside her. Jodi lost all reason save to ride the wave of
their mutual orgasms.

Straining against his abdomen and pulling him tighter inside herself, she
panted, "I'm going to cum honey! It's carrying me away. Oh fuck me harder,
harder, faster,." Then with a moan interspersed with grunts as he slammed into
her pussy, she gave a lingering wail that rose in scale to nearly a scream!

"OH GOD! OH GOD! I'm cumming, I'm cumming!" she panted.

Hearing her wailing as he fucked her, her dad lost the last vestiges of control
and willingly gave himself up to his own orgasm as he pumped his cum inside his
daughter's pussy! Jodi felt him jerk spasmodically inside her pussy as he shot
his semen inside her as she came again in response to the pressure against her
pussy lips.

Tears welled up in his eyes for the love he had for her in the innermost depths
of his being. Lying quietly as she enjoyed the pleasurable wash of aftershock
in her stomach and upper thighs, she tasted his tears and hugged him as tight
as she could.

"I love you dad!" she whispered, "Aren't you glad now I had the sense to talk
you into this?" she asked.

Smiling and brushing her cheek with his lips, he replied, "Yes darling. I'm
glad you did"

He was surprised to feel his spent cock hardening again. Jodi kissed him
tenderly as he began thrusting inside her.Jodi remained at home and transferred
her university records to a college close to where they lived.

They had developed a sort of routine for lovemaking. When he needed her, he
would look at her over his glasses and give her a special smile. She would
immediately stop whatever she was doing to sit in his lap to initiate
lovemaking.

One evening, Jodi had been cramming for what seemed like hours for finals and
her neck and shoulders were tense and hurt unbelievably.

Her dad saw her rubbing her neck and stepped behind her to give her a massage.
The strength and warmth of his hands felt wonderful as he kneaded the
complaining muscles.

Jodi's senses drifted as he sent pleasurable waves through her shoulders and
neck. She put her hand on his forearm and began pulling to indicate he was to
press with added firmness.

Stepping in front of her, her father began massaging the tender inner muscles
of her throat and upper breasts, Jodi pulled his zipper down to fondle his hard
cock and cup his balls as he worked.

Raising his cockhead to her lips, she took him inside her mouth and began
tenderly suckling his manhood as his cock swelled against the soft palate of
her mouth.

Her dad began thrusting inside as his orgasm came on him in a rush. Moaning low
in his throat, he warned her he was about to cum, "Jodi, I'm going to cum
honey. Turn loose, let me go!" he begged.

Ignoring his plea, she sucked harder until she felt his cock pump semen into
her mouth and down her throat.

Trembling at the taste of his salty, slightly alkaline cum, Jodi gasped as he
knelt before her to raise the hem of her skirt as she lifted her hips for him
to draw her panties down to her ankles. Jodi scooted forward in the chair to
give him access as she spread her thighs for him.

He kissed the inside of her thighs before pressing his tongue inside her
flowing pussy. Then taking her clit in his lips, he sucked a few times before
she came violently against his lips and tongue. Later in the shower, he took
her standing up from behind before she moaned deeply in orgasm as he shot his
load in her slippery pussy.


Chapter 7

A subtle transformation came over Jodi gradually. Where before she had been the
adoring young daughter who cared only to see to the well-being of her father,
took on the form and vision of a mature woman of twenty five who began assuming
a near matriarchal posture in his life.

An attorney, Theodore Ross had campaigned and won the race for county judge in
Marshall County Mississippi while still a young up and coming lawyer.

Serving on the bench for a number of years, he gained the notice of political
interests in the state capitol and subsequently received the state governor's
backing for a federal judgeship.

Now forty eight years old, his power and prestige in jurisprudence as a fair
and intelligently caring judge who brooked no nonsense was inarguable. He was
known to deal with impartiality to the lawless as well as law enforcement.

The letter of the law as he interpreted it often became precedence for lower
court decisions.

So it was when he received a petition for a hearing from the American Civil
Liberties Union regarding a case of incest between a mother and son that the
unusual knowledge arising from his own experience lent itself well for Judge
Ross to preside. Although no one could have guessed the source of his insight,
it was apparent to all he spoke with authority beyond that of a presiding
judge.

Seating himself on the bench, Judge Ross listened to the arguments of ACLU
attorneys and State prosecutors.

Several hours passed as council for both sides presented their arguments. It
was with some chagrin, Ross noted that each had important points to take into
consideration.

Judge Ross stood to drop his gavel before adjourning for the day. Looking at
both antagonists, he made what amounted to an unprecedented request.

"I have come to the conclusion we need a more personal and in-depth
understanding of the circumstances surrounding this matter!" he intoned softly
into his microphone.

Both sides looked at him in amazement as he spoke.

In unison, both parties asked for permission to approach the bench. The ACLU
attorney spoke rapidly as Ross covered his microphone. "Your honor, what you're
asking is extremely hazardous and may bias my arguments if the defendants are
allowed to testify for themselves! This is unheard of!" she pleaded.

The state's attorney said essentially the same thing, "I don't believe any new
evidence will be discovered beyond what we already have. Please reconsider and
abdicate your position on this your honor!"

Looking at the two state's attorneys and two ACLU attorneys, replied, "Perhaps,
perhaps not. What I'm hearing is a young man of twenty five and his forty six
year old mother were engaging in a private, personal, albeit clandestine affair
that harmed no one, yet have been judged as law-breakers. What we do here will
affect their lives far beyond the mere culpability of their actions. We are
speaking of two human beings who need our sincere and intelligent response to
their life-style."

Pausing, he went on, "Who are we to judge them in absentia? Who are we to cast
a pall over their existence? Are these murderers? Rapists? Embezzlers?" before
either could answer, he continued, "The answer is no. Incestuous behavior is
against the law. Do any of you know why it's against the law? Why such a law
was written?"

The state's attorney blustered, "Why because of the danger of impregnation by
the son in his own mother and the resultant impaired child and the biblical
prohibition of Mosaic Law!" he said.

The lady ACLU attorney responded by saying, "Its simply a societal taboo based
on filial responsibility and guarding children from parental rape your honor!"
she replied.

Looking at all four of them he stated, "In this day and age of women's rights
to care for their own body and in view of the fact the young man was well past
twenty one when the affair began, I believe it behooves us to examine all
aspects and motives of the relationship don't you agree?" he concluded

Neither side knew how to respond to those arguments.

Banging his gavel, he ordered, "The court gives you fourteen days to respond to
its request!" smiling at them, he went on, "I'll see you then counselors!"


Chapter 8

Arriving home that evening, Jodi met him at the door with a worried look on her
face to ask, "What are you doing dad?" before he could answer she went on, "Why
would you cause such a stink to rise over such a thing? You may be asked to
step down from the bench and lose your backing!" she warned.

Smiling as he kissed her lips he replied, "Well honey I don't know about you,
but I've come to the conclusion that it isn't always the law or society's place
to interfere with two consenting adults!" looking at her carefully as he spoke.

Jodi thought a moment before replying, "I understand dad. I just don't want you
to suffer on the account of our own relationship is all. What we do is no one's
business but our own!" stopping to stare at him, her eyes widened as
understanding came to her.

During dinner Ted said, "Jodi, unless the two prove to me they're incapable of
making an intelligent decision, I fear I'll probably overturn the lower court's
ruling. You know what that means don't you?" he asked gently.

Jodi answered, "Yes dad, it will probably go before the state supreme court for
a decision!" smiling in pride at his daughters logic, he said, "Yes and maybe
we can spend our time wrestling with the real issues of society. Things such as
drugs, murder, infanticide, and social responsibility to name but a few! He
conjectured.

Lying in his arms later in the evening, Jodi said, "Dad, do you think our
relationship is wrong? Do you feel that I'm capable of understanding the
implications between us?" she asked.

Laughing gently he replied, "No sweetheart, I don't think we do wrong and of
course I believe you understand what you're doing honey! We wouldn't be here if
I thought otherwise!"

Breathing a sigh of relief, she hugged him tighter and said, "I'm glad darling.
I don't think I could live with the knowledge you were alone and miserable.
It's not like you can go out and pick up a whore to take care of your needs. It
wouldn't do for a federal judge to be pinched for pandering!" she remarked with
a giggle.

Thrusting inside her pussy as he spoke, he replied, "I fear I wouldn't know
where or how to secure the services of a lady in that profession." Jodi didn't
answer for a few minutes as the intensity of their congress escalated towards
orgasm. Grunting in response to his hammering thrusts, she gasped as her orgasm
claimed her, "Oh honey I don't want you to ever find it necessary to find a
whore. I'm your whore beloved you are all I want or need." Then a guttural wail
welled up inside her as she orgasmed on his hard cock.

Ted let himself revel in the succulence of her young body as he allowed his
semen to shoot in thick ropy strings inside her womb. Gasping as he came, he
moaned, "Oh baby! No whore or any woman can take your place. I love you so
sweetheart!"

The days passed quickly as the approaching trial date loomed for the State's
prosecutor and ACLU attorneys.


Chapter 9

Judge Ross sat down as the bailiff called the court room to order. "Hear yea,
hear yea! The honorable Judge Theodore Ross gives you leave to approach the
bench for the purpose of obtaining relief from forensic subjugation. Therefore
you are constrained to speak in honesty in all matters before the court! All
may be seated!" he intoned ponderously.

As the bailiff placed the folder on his podium, he glanced at the desk of the
ACLU attorneys to see a stunning raven haired woman look curiously at him.

At the other end of the table, a handsome young man sat looking worried as he
shifted in his chair. Judge Ross looked at the state's attorney and said,
"Counselor, you may call the first witness in these proceedings!"

Standing, he said, "The state calls William Eddington to the stand!"

The handsome young man rose to pace the few steps to the witness chair.

The bailiff held a bible towards the young man and intoned, "State your name
and address for the record!"

Clearing his throat nervously, he replied, "William Franklin Eddington, 1831
south kensington place, Montrose, Mississippi"

The bailiff responded, "Place your right hand on the bible and repeat after me,
I William Franklin Eddington do hereby solemnly swear that I will tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God!"

Glancing nervously at the ACLU attorney who smiled and nodded, he replied and
took the oath.

The state's attorney walked to the witness stand and asked William, "Do you
understand the meaning of incest Mr. Eddington?"

William nervously replied, "uhh yes I do!"

Turning to look at the judge the attorney replied, "Enlighten me as to your
understanding then!"

Pausing to look at his attorney, he answered, "uhh it means making love to a
close relative, having sex!"

The attorney then asked, "Do you feel it's proper for you and your mother to
engage in such activities?" sneering slightly as he spoke.

The ACLU attorney stood to object, "Objection your honor! The question calls
for an interpretation of the law and the witness is not trained in the law!"

Ross replied, "Over ruled counselor, the question tests the sentience of his
ability to reason. Answer the question Mr. Eddington!"

William sought guidance from his attorney and seeing none, replied, "Well we
love each other and just because we are mother and son, doesn't make it bad in
my mind!"

Ross found the young man very intelligent and properly prepared to submit
himself as a witness.

Several questions ensued and all were answered by William satisfactorily.

Finally the State's attorney turned to Ross and said, "Defense may cross
examine your honor!"

The ACLU attorney stood and said, "No questions for this witness your honor! I
reserve the right to cross examine later if the need arises!" as she smiled.

Expecting her to respond as she did, he banged his gavel and ordered, "Court is
in recess until one thirty p.m. I'll rule on your request for reservation when
court convenes!"

The bailiff called, "All rise!" as Judge Ross stepped down to enter chambers.


Chapter 10

Sitting in the peaceful quiet of chambers, he saw the light on his phone blink
before his assistant Dorothy buzzed him to say Jodi was calling.

"How's it going dad?" Jodi asked before saying hello

Smiling into the dim light of his office, he replied, "Hello to you too dear!
It's going well. Much as I expected it too!"

A knock on his door caused him to say, "Hang on honey! Someone's at the door!"
covering the mouthpiece of the phone he bade them enter, "Come" he intoned.

The door opened to reveal each of the primary attorneys as they asked to speak
to him.

Removing his hand from the phone, he said, "I'll call you back sweetheart! Take
care honey! I'll see you this evening if I can't get back to you though!"

Hanging up the phone, he looked expectantly at the two adversaries.

"We want to make a deal your honor! We want you to overturn their previous
sentencing and give them a suspended sentence and bar them from seeing each
other for one year!" the state's attorney said.

Looking at the defendant's attorney, "Your clients agreed to this?" he asked
incredulously?

Looking embarrassed, the attorney replied, "Well no, not exactly. Mrs.
Eddington doesn't like the idea but will accept your decision Ted!"

"If I recall correctly.", Ross mused, "Both mother and son have served six
months in lockup and are now undergoing psychiatric evaluation! Is this not
correct?" he asked

Both attorneys assented to his question.

"Tell you what!" he said as he thought carefully, "They've both been fairly
treated under the law. I don't wish to complicate matters by ruling on an issue
that is unrecoverable. I can't give them back the six months and the evaluation
is harmless and may do good for them!" pausing as he reflected, "There is a
much bigger issue at stake here as you well know."

Several moments passed before he said, "Let's ride this one out. Let's see
whether I have the ability to rightly divide the issue of culpability and allow
me to determine if you have the jurisprudence to sway me in either direction
and see where it leads us!"

Shrugging his shoulders, the state's attorney said, "I made the offer because I
was trying to find a way to resolve the issue and allow the law to stand as
written and maybe save the taxpayers some money. But, I'll abide by your
decision!" as he looked at the ACLU attorney

She smiled and said, "Fine by me! I expected you to let it ride Ted! You have
to admit it's an interesting case and may affect how we view people's rights in
the future!"

Smiling at them, he replied, "I'll see you two in forty five minutes. Don't
disappoint me!" he said as he dismissed them.

Picking up the phone, Ross dialed his home phone number to hear Jodi answer,
"Judge Ross' residence, Miss Ross speaking!"

Court convened promptly at one thirty. The state's attorney stood to say, " I
call Mrs. Rosemary Eddington to the stand!"

Seating herself after having stated her name and address for the record and
taking the oath, she smiled demurely at Judge Ross before turning to look at
the state's attorney.

Rosemary Eddington was stunningly beautiful. Having a figure an artist would
describe as voluptuous or Reubenesque, her face was youthful looking and belied
her being forty six years old.

Speaking with a slight southern drawl, she answered the attorney's questions as
well as could be expected.

Several questions were asked, then the Attorney turned and asked, "Mrs.
Eddington! Have you no shame for being a mother such as you are?" Her attorney
stood and said, "Objection your honor! The witness is not being tried for her
moral understanding!"

Ross replied, "Sustained. Rephrase the question Counselor!"

Pausing to think, the attorney rephrased, "Do you understand the responsibility
of being a parent Mrs. Eddington?"

Her attorney spoke, "Objection your honor, a response calls for an opinion, not
facts!"

Ross replied, "I'll rule on your motion in a moment counselor. I would like to
hear the witness' reply before hand!"

Rosemary replied, "Yes I think so. I bore him, gave him life, nursed him
through all sorts of illness. Helped him with homework and helped provide for
him after his father passed away! Yes I think I understand pretty well!"

Looking at the defendant's attorney, Ross stated, "I'm going to over rule your
objection and allow the response stand for the record! Seems to me she
understands pretty well!"

Finally both counselors rested and a ruling was left to Judge Ross to decide.

Standing as he spoke, he said, "I'll make a ruling and send you the results by
U.S. postal service in about three to five weeks."

For now, I want to ask a favor of the defendants. Looking at them as they
stood, he said, "I'm going to ask you on your honor to forego any further
activities other than what is considered normal between a parent and child
until I give my ruling to your attorney!" Pausing he asked, "Will you do this
as a personal favor to me?"

Both agreed.

Looking sternly at them, he ordered, "The court enjoins you to continue with
therapy sessions and abide by the ruling of the lower court. Any deviation from
this will be brought to my attention and will affect my ruling of your case! Do
you understand Mrs. Eddington?" he asked. Rosemary replied, "Yes I do your
honor!" William replied, "Yes your honor!"


Chapter 11

A few weeks later, Ted and Jodi decided to go for drive along the many lakes
dotting the area they lived in.

As dusk fell, the two decided to get a motel room for the night. A large
Hampton Inn stood invitingly at an estuary leading to a large lake.

Opening the door to the large suite of rooms, Jodi squealed with delight as she
looked around before jumping in the middle of the king-sized bed.

Ted smiled indulgently as she romped much as she used to as a little girl.
Picking up the phone to order room service, a look of disappointment shadowed
his face when he heard there was no room service. He decided to go get them
something to eat after Jodi begged off, preferring to remain In the room to
take a hot bath and prepare for bed.

Driving to an OUTBACK restaurant, he ordered steaks, potatoes, mixed vegetables
and a bottle of champagne with two long stemmed glasses.

As he sat at the bar nursing a lime margarita, a soft hand touched his shoulder
as he turned to see who it was.

Rosemary Eddington smiled at him and said, "Judge! I wanted to thank you for
all that you've done for us."

Looking at her as he drank in her beauty, he replied, "Mrs. Eddington you may
call me Ted. I was only doing my job. It's in the hands of the state supreme
court now that the ACLU has challenged the law!"

She smiled and replied, "All right Ted! But I feel that you understood and
wanted to help! That is true isn't it?" she asked

Pausing reflectively before answering, He slowly responded, "Partly I wanted to
help. In reality, I only wanted to adhere to the law whether I agreed with it
or not. The law is vague and I'm not altogether certain it applies as aptly as
it once did. Many things change. As I stated earlier in court, a woman's body
is hers to use she sees fit. It wasn't a question of you hurting yourself or
your son. It was a question and remains a question as to the fitness of a
parent to perform his or her filial responsibility under those circumstances!
As I wrote in my opinion, you seemed to have balanced the two relationships
quite admirably. Therefore who am I or for that matter, who is anyone else to
judge your lifestyle?"

Patting his forearm, she said, "I understand. Thanks again your honor!" as she
leaned forward to kiss his cheek.

When he returned to the room he told Jodi of meeting Mrs. Eddington. Jodi said,
"I hope we never have to do what those two did." Ted looked at her pensively
and replied, "Me too honey! Me too!"

Later in the darkness as his daughter strained to cum on his hard cock, he
thought to himself, "I would be proud to stand up for Jodi. I believe we've
done or are doing nothing wrong!"

Whispering as she grunted rhythmically to his thrusts, she said, "I love you
daddy! I don't want to ever stop what we're doing!"

Knowing someday she would meet her mate and find happiness as a mother and
parent, he replied, "Yes dear, I know!"
