Laguna Mari Pt. 01

AUTHORS NOTE:

This is my first attempt at a story involving an incest theme. It does take a while to get going so please bear that in mind before reading, if that's not your thing then it may be best to look elsewhere. For those that do read on I hope you enjoy it.

PROLOGUE

The small group gathered together in the dark with only thin shafts of torchlight revealing anything of the cavern. Evangeline Carvell was uncharacteristically nervous but the dim light was her ally and she steeled herself, determined that she would never betray her cool, calm exterior. She stood authoritative and imperious before the assembled group. She motioned to her Assistant, Raven and with the turning of a lever the large underground cavern was flooded with radiant light. Evangeline was a statuesque beauty with lustrous long jet black hair that flowed over her shoulders and down her back.

"My friends, today marks the first day that the Laguna Mari project truly begins. This project has been a labour of love for my family for generations. I am proud that you have all helped to finally realise a dream formed so long ago. Now the real work begins. You all know what is expected of you. I will accept nothing but your very best efforts to make this dream real. You all have your assignments; it's time we all got started. Thank you."

The speech was brief and echoed the straightforward values that Eva, as she preferred to be called, prized. A short burst of applause caused the briefest flicker of a smile, barely noticeable and swiftly restrained. As the group dispersed her sense of relief was palpable. She turned to look out over the cavern placing her hands on the cool metal railing of the entry tower. Her employees swiftly took to their tasks making their way to the cargo elevator that would lead them down to the valley floor.

The cavern itself was an enormous geo-front discovered by her family many decades ago on a remote island far off the coast of New Zealand. The island housed a large underground valley roughly 2 miles in diameter that was utterly shielded from the elements. Over the years her wealthy family had first purchased the island and over time explored its considerable potential. It was Eva's late father who first put plans in place to build a highly protected base of operations within the valley making use of the islands many geo-thermal vents to power prototype generators. A complex array of solar panels and relays flooded the enclosed chamber with natural light and provided a secondary power source. The design was effective enough to create the illusion of daylight that subtly adjusted over the day to mimic the transition to night. Christening the area Laguna Mari the family, now under Eva's guidance, went on to build a state of the art facility that that would be both workplace and home in one.

It had taken many years to ship in the building materials and workers needed to construct the sites various structures. Now finally ready it was a spectacular achievement. Among the series of labs and research centres on the valley floor was a beautiful environment filled with lush vegetation that echoed a tropical paradise. The main work buildings were mainly located on the Southern shore close to a large and naturally heated lagoon. Eva and her family would become the first permanent residents with a small group of essential supporting staff. In the weeks and months that followed other workers would join the group as more of the facility came on line. The buildings were opulent and state of the art, little expense was spared to ensure that every possible comfort and need could be catered for.

CHAPTER 1

Seth Carvell had been dreading this moment arriving. His feelings were conflicted and part of him had yearned for a little more freedom even though he knew that at some point he would inevitably be thrust into the melee of the family business. He walked up to the balcony alongside his mother and sighed deeply. He had turned 19 just days ago but he had enjoyed few freedoms in his life. His Mother was always a stern disciplinarian but her ice queen persona had hardened since his father's death when he was just a few years old. James had been a positive force for Eva and without him she had retreated into her shell. Seth had planned to attend university and build a life of his own but this was something his Mother would never allow. She had kept Seth and to a lesser extent his older sister Mia under close control since James passed.

As Seth stood beside his Mother she was as proud and imperious as ever gazing out over the valley below. They stood together as the minutes raced by and watched everyone else set to work.

It was odd but Seth felt closer to his Mother than he had in years. He would never admit that to her but he could see a subtle change in her, it was almost like she was happy.

Eva was skilled at hiding her feelings, an ability that had served her well in her role as head of the family. She had long harboured regrets at how she had been around her children but found it hard to show them the woman behind the mask. Since Seth had turned 18 she had started to see him in a different light. He had grown into a fine young man, one she loved deeply. He was kind, gentle, masculine and seemingly oblivious to the wandering eyes of the many women around him who would often flirt openly with him. Eva had developed a deep need for his companionship, feeling incomplete whenever he was away from her. Over time her protective instincts had twisted into a carnal desire. The lust she felt in her heart was becoming impossible to control and when away from prying eyes she would masturbate herself to senses shattering orgasm after orgasm thinking about her son taking her. She had always been cold to him in many ways, Eva was wary of overt displays of affection which was a stark contrast to the way Seth was with anyone else. But Eva knew if she succumbed she might not be able to control herself. Now with the privacy that their new home afforded she saw no reason to hold back any longer.

"Hey Mom, look who finally arrived," shouted Mia. Seth's older sister was a complete counterpoint to his stern mother. She was exuberant and full of life. Seth turned to see her dragging their cousin Lara along by the hand. The pair was closely followed by Eva's sister, April.

"Did we miss the speech?" enquired Mia.

"Yep all thirty seconds of it," replied Seth with a sarcastic glint in his eye.

Eva turned to face her family. As she did her hand lightly brushed over her son's fingers. It was the first sign of affection or familiarity she had shown him in years. At first Seth thought it was accidental but to his surprise his Mother's usual look of disapproval was also missing. There was almost a smile and the simple gesture made Seth's heart soar. He loved his Mother but he often found it hard to identify with her, he wondered whether she might finally be more open with him. The touch was feather light but to Eva it held deep meaning, she now had her chance to try and seduce her own son, to let her forbidden desires to the surface. Laguna Mari was perfect and the luxurious family home would offer the perfect level of privacy away from the eyes of others.

"I take it that Alex decided to stay behind after all then April?" Eva asked her sister.

"Yeah I'm afraid so. He told me to remind you that he never agreed to live here in the first place."

"I see,"

"Don't take it too hard Eva we already agreed he would keep an eye on things on the outside and sort out the supply runs so it will be fine, he was only going to be here for a week anyway."

"I suppose so but I really did want to have everyone together, even if it was just for a little while."

Seth could sense his Mother's disappointment. It was strange, he had found her so hard to read in the past but here she seemed more relaxed and open. His Uncle Alex was the younger of the siblings and had never shown any great interest in the scientific pursuits that the rest of the family were drawn to. Still he was an excellent businessman and would make a fine public face for their company.

Seth turned his attention to his cousin, Lara. She was as stunning as ever. She had really blossomed in the last few years and one of the things he had been looking forward to was the chance to spend time with her again. Her short dark brunette hair was fashioned in a trendy, slightly spikey, style that suited her perfectly. His Mother and Aunt were lithe and athletic but Lara had a fuller hourglass shaped figure. He smiled over at her and she beamed back at him. Freeing her hand from Mia's she skipped over into her cousin's warm embrace, her firm ripe breasts squashed against his chest. It had only been a month since they had last seen each other but it was perhaps the longest time they had been apart since their early teens. Neither of them noticed Eva's reaction to their embrace, suffused as it was with a heady mix of jealousy and envy.

"Get a room you two," shouted Mia with a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Mia, you should never suggest such things, they're related," scolded her Aunt.

"Just a joke Aunt April, but I do think that this family could use a few more hugs, you and Mom need to loosen up for starters. I mean look at my Mommy over there she looks like stone."

In a flash Mia dashed to her Mother and grappled her in a bear hug, just about lifting her off her feet. They looked very much alike as one might expect. Now in her early forties Eva had looked after herself well, one of the advantages of wealth. She had an athletic frame, with long toned and slender legs. Mia was perhaps a little taller but possessed a similar figure. Her breasts were a little smaller and her black hair was longer but flecked with occasional deep red streaks. Eva looked highly unimpressed by her daughter's actions and the look in her eye was just enough to tell Mia to back off. In response Mia gently released her hold.

"Well now things are just plain awkward so I'm going to go find my room and settle in," teased Mia spinning on her heels and running off to the private elevator that that led to the family's living quarters. The door was activated by retina scan opening with only the slightest hiss of the grating metal surfaces. As the doors to the lift closed shut she pulled a goofy grin and waved as she vanished from sight. Seth shook his head, this was hardly unusual for Mia but the bear hug was a bit over the top even for her.

Seth looked over to see his Mother and Aunt April had started talking shop. He always knew his family was privileged to say the least but looking out over what that privilege had created was humbling. With Lara along for the ride he was happy enough. She was a big influence in convincing him not to run away from it all, a thought that had crossed his mind on more than one occasion. Seth cared deeply about his family but he also felt that he had been sheltered and lost out on opportunities that he might otherwise have had. Both he and Mia had given up their whole lives to move to Laguna Mari but at least she had enjoyed the benefit of a few years of freedom and University study. Seth was almost jealous of his older sister but she never failed to brighten the mood in their otherwise rigid family so it was hard to stay mad at her.

Seth and Lara looked out together at the hive of activity below them sharing a quiet private joke and giggling as their Mothers talked business. Lara placed her hand in Seth's and drew close to him. She was looking forward to spending more time with her cousin. Seth was her best friend and she knew her feelings were growing for him all the time. She was terrified to say anything for fear of breaking the bond they shared, but in her heart she wanted nothing more than to be with him body and soul. No one else made her happy like he did, her heart surged when she saw him. She knew that he did not see her in quite the same light, but he fuelled her dreams with thoughts of mad passionate love making. Mia frequently taunted them about their close relationship. Lara often wondered whether Mia knew how she really felt about Seth. He was tall, with dark hair and expressive blue eyes. He had a masculine but not overly muscled physique. Lara took every chance she could to be close to him hoping that one day he might finally understand how she felt.

CHAPTER 2

"Seth, Lara come on its time we made a move," noted April as they made their way to the elevator.

The movement of the steel chamber was barely perceptible as it began its descent. The doors soon parted to reveal a large entry hall. Staircases snaked around a circular main chamber stretching up over 6 stories. A further elevator system allowed more relaxed travel between floors.

Once through the entryway the opulent splendour of the main living area was revealed. The building was built into the side of the cavern. It was composed of two large towers joined by an expansive living area complete with every convenience imaginable. The first tower represented living quarters and the second was the command centre for the facility with private laboratories, studies and monitoring systems for the entire valley. It had been nicknamed the Watchtower.

"Great, they actually built a castle," Seth whispered to Lara, "I'm surprised we haven't seen a moat yet."

She nodded her agreement but was taken aback by the sheer scale of the place. She was used to the family's wealth but this was another level entirely. Just as the group made their way inside a door to their right burst open as Mia made her presence known. Seth felt his jaw drop a mile as he realised very quickly that his sister was stark naked and charging again in the direction of her Mother. If anything she was even more aghast at what was happening.

"Mia! What on earth do you think you are doing? Don't you dare," snapped Eva as the others looked on incredulous.

"Too late Mommy you deserve a thank you hug, this place is awesome." Mia shouted as she launched at her Mother again. Everything happened in a flash as Mia hurtled across the room a blur of athletic flesh.

Seth was astonished at the sight of his naked sister, her body moved in fluid motion. Her long hair trailed in her wake. Her breasts bounced in time with her steps. Her long slender legs moved with purpose.

Eva went bright red as her energetic daughter grappled her again. Placing her head on her Mothers breasts she hugged her tightly and for entirely too long to be considered appropriate. Eva for her part was stunned into silence. She could feel the sense of excitement flowing from her daughter and it hit her like a bolt of lightning. She loved her children with every fibre of her being. She never felt able to open up to them and was stunned at how affectionate that they could both be. She knew it was their Father's influence and in that instant her memories of him flooded back. Mia was just like him and for a moment she closed her eyes and simply enjoyed the moment. She couldn't bring herself to return the hug even though she ached to do so. Eva had always been strong for them, she always felt they needed that distance but now she doubted herself. Her body started to relax, to enjoy the moment but all too soon Mia was bolting away again like a force of nature.

"Ooh Mommy, I think you liked that too your nipples are like bullets, is it cold in here?" shouted Mia as she hurtled away shrieking with laughter.

"Well she certainly takes after James," mused April smiling at her sister's discomfort.

In the distance the faint echo of a splash echoed through the building.

"She found the hot spring then," April giggled as she could see the rage building in her sister. Eva stiffened with anger and stormed off after her errant daughter leaving the others straggling behind.

The magnificent centrepiece of the main chamber was a multi-tiered hot spring. Eva followed the trail of strewn clothing and seethed at the sight of her flagrantly nude daughter splashing around in the warm water.

"Mia! Let me be clear right now. We do not skinny dip in here! I expect you to wear a swimming costume whenever you go in there. Do I make myself clear?" Eva shouted.

"Sorry Mom, I didn't catch that, the water feels so good, its lovely and warm, I could spend all day in here."

"Get out now Mia!" her mother retorted with a stern expression. Mia eagerly obeyed and just as the rest of the family arrived pulled herself out of the warm pool. Beads of water dripped from every curve of her body. Her hair clung to the arch of her back. Her long smooth legs gleamed in the light. Seth was enthralled by the sight. His sister was always dramatic but never so brazen. He tried to take in every detail of her sumptuous body almost afraid to look but too excited to turn away.

"I guess I need a towel," Mia laughed as she ran her hands along her slippery hips and posed suggestively. Evangeline went a bright shade of crimson red, flushed with embarrassment. Still she could not help but admire the woman her daughter had grown into. Her confidence had grown in leaps and bounds. She had also developed into a stunning beauty even if she was rather too open about it.

Mia swanned off towards the family towers elevator leaving a dripping trail behind her. As she once again disappeared from sight the mood slowly returned to something approaching normal.

"You two should take a look around and find your bearings," said April. She turned and headed off with her sister to the Watchtower leaving Lara and Seth alone.

"Wow, this is really something isn't it?" said Seth.

"It really is; I've been trying to stop myself laughing watching Aunt Eva though. Mia was really pushing her buttons today. I wish I had her confidence," mused Lara.

"What the ice queen or the drama queen," joked Seth.

"That's not nice to say and to be fair I really admire them both. Aunt Eva is just so focused and Mia is so full of life, I wish I was more like them,"

"You should just be you Lara, that's what I think. They have plenty of flaws trust me. I like you just the way you are."

Lara blushed as Seth spoke but if he noticed he never commented. She wondered what went through his mind when he saw Mia. Lara had noticed the look in his eyes. It was something she had never seen in him, something primal. She also noticed him shifting awkwardly and wondered if he had been aroused by what he had seen. She wondered if he was turned on by his own sister but it was only a fleeting thought.

Lara and Seth found their way to the main lounge area, filled with large comfortable seating. Seth settled into a corner as Lara moved into position by his side letting him wrap an arm around her. She settled into place with a feeling of deep contented bliss. It had been a long day already and the pair soon drifted off to sleep.

Seth began to stir as he felt someone settle down on his other side. He took a moment to realise that his sister Mia had joined them. He opened his eyes and looked down to see his sister's warm and friendly smile. He barely moved an inch as Lara continued to slumber but smiled back as Mia made herself comfortable. Mia was soon dozing but she had a habit of twitching in her sleep that kept Seth awake. He soon became aware of the soft scent of his sisters perfume, the subtle fragrance was pleasant and soothing. He looked at his sister and cousin stretched out beside him, both resting happily. He saw his sister was wearing little more than a pair of tiny shorts and a simple tight strappy top. As Mia fidgeted in her sleep she moved into a position that gave Seth a shock as he was able to see straight down her top. He realised that she was not wearing a bra. He felt his heart start to race as he admired the soft feminine contours of his sister's breasts, they looked so soft and a part of him wanted to feel their weight in his hands.
