We both knew that Ryan would not be mad at us for being together... just that he'd be very surprised since Kasey hadn't talked to him about it before. Ryan grabbed his clothes and hustled across the hallway to the bathroom and got dressed. We heard Ryan yell out from downstairs.
"Erin, Kasey, you both here!?" I quickly slid on a pair of shorts and a tank top, well, at least as quickly as I could, considering the hindrance of a cast on my ankle.
"I'm changing my clothes Ry, hold on; I'll be down in a minute!" I yelled out just as Kasey yelled "Hold on bro, I'm pissing!"
Both Kasey and I emerged into the hall at the same time and Kasey followed at my heels down the steps, in case I stumbled, so he could catch me.
As we rounded the corner at the bottom of the steps, Ryan was coming from the kitchen, sandwich in his hand. He stopped at stared.
"Erin, what the fuck happened to you?" he asked, concerned.
"I had a bit of an accident during the game today, broke my ankle, go figure," I told my older brother.
"Ouch, you doin ok?" he asked.
I nodded and explained that I'd taken pain pills.
Ryan then turned his attention to Kasey. "So bro, you just stop by to see how your star catcher is doing?" he asked eyeing him suspiciously.
Kasey turned a bit red. "Well, sorta. Actually, Ry, Erin and I got something we wanna talk to you about."
Ryan chuckled softly. "Let me guess, you all finally figured out what I've known for years? That you both have raging feelings for each other?"
Kasey and I were stunned. Ryan had known how each of us had felt and never said a word.
"Uh, well yeah... is that gonna be a problem?" Kasey asked Ryan.
"Fuck no dude. At least I know she's in good hands with you. Good luck to ya guys!" he said giving Kasey a slap on the back and me an affectionate hug.
I smiled at Ryan then at Kasey. Kasey tugged me into his arms and gave me a breath taking hug.
"Well now that that's settled, Erin you wanna head to my house for the weekend?" Kasey asked me as Ryan left the room to go take a shower.
"Sure," I answered and told him to come help me pack some stuff to take. Kasey followed me up the stairs, his hand on my shoulder the whole way, and into my room. He shut the door after I came in and I turned to him smiling. Kasey walked towards me then pulled me close and kissed me, a tender, sweet, kiss that rocked me to my toes. I groaned softly at the feelings of his hands on my waist. After a few moments we broke the kiss and he patted my ass gently.
"Ok, what do ya need?" he asked and we went ahead and packed all of the things I would need for a weekend away from home.
After I had packed I told Ryan I'd see him alter then Kasey and I piled into his truck again to head to his house. He owned a nice rancher out on the edge of town. It sat on about ten acres, mostly woods, and was completely secluded from anyone, the nearest neighbor being about five miles away.
I'd been here three or four times before and I absolutely loved the place. It was my dream house. The house was big enough to be comfortable, and not confined, but small enough to feel cozy instead of empty.
The interior of his house was done in forest greens, browns and tans. The couches in his living room were worn, soft brown leathers, and the walls were covered in dark oak planks. A 52" big screen TV dominated one wall, and another was covered in pictures of Kasey in his baseball days, his family and his friends.
Kasey told me to make myself at home, that he was going to run and get a shower. I nodded and asked him if I could put my things in his room, he said of course. I made my way back to his bedroom and then placed my bag down on the floor by the end of his bed.
I then made my way back to his living room. After he was done showering, Kasey came out, and made us dinner, some steaks and potatoes on the grill. We both ate heartily, sitting out on his porch, which overlooked a slow hill that made its way down to the stream running through Kasey's property.
