Paul never would have thought he would end up in this situation. Having sexual thoughts about his sister-in-law. He had met her right after his brother Seth ran off to Vegas and married her. He thought his brother was crazy at first, because they started out having a long distance romance. His now sister-in-law, Joy, lived in Chicago, and he and his brother lived in Dallas. Paul told his brother that he was crazy, that it would never work, but Seth was head-over-heels in love with Joy, and he was ready to die to make it work.
Paul had only seen pictures of Joy that his brother displayed proudly on his desk. She did look stunning, he had to give it to Seth. He knew how to pick women. Or they picked him, since he was a top heart specialist, the Director of the Cardiology Center at Dallas General Hospital. Add to that the wealth they inherited from their family, and women came out from everywhere, inviting themselves into their lives. So Paul expected that any woman Seth would date would be a top contender. But when he saw Joy in person, his heart skipped several beats. Her pictures barely captured the natural beauty he saw in front of him.
He managed to have a decent conversation with her, introducing himself and welcoming her to the family. Seth talked about her constantly, so Paul felt like he knew her before he actually met her. He almost got knocked off his game, as he stood at the front door, looking into her large brown sparkling eyes, and those berry colored pouty lips. She was wearing a knit dress in emerald green, her favorite color, which hugged her ample curves like a second skin. The cutest smile stretched across her face as she spoke, with her thick mane of sandy brown, shoulder length hair framing her oval face. He quickly saw the reason his brother had become smitten with her so easily.
As Paul got to know her better, he found himself becoming more infatuated. He kept his thoughts to himself, happy to be around in the company of his brother and wife, happy to fantasize about the hot and wild sexual positions he could get Joy into, if he ever got the chance. He knew she was madly in love with Seth too, so he knew that chance would never come. That was until Seth had a misstep.
The hospital gala ball. That was the beginning of his journey. Paul attended the ball alone, since his main girl was out of the country on a photo shoot. He loved surrounding himself with girls who were either aspiring actresses or models. His passion was chasing (and capturing) beautiful women. But tonight, he was trying monogamy, coming sans date, and maybe leaving sans date.
He was happy that Seth and Joy would be there. He enjoyed dancing with Joy, since that was about as close as he could get to what he really wanted, getting her naked in his bed, free to explore and uncover this forbidden territory.
He had arrived first, and spied Joy and Seth walking across the ballroom floor, looking for him. He jumped up from the table to greet them.
"Hey big brother, I was wondering where in the heck you were. The guest of honor should be on the scene early."
"Yeah, right. We had to make an entrance, you know Joy!" Seth laughed.
Paul's eyes popped as he took a good gander at Joy's attire. "And look at my sister-in law! Damn Joy! I don't think I've seen anybody else here looking like a Hollywood starlet!" He walked around her to see the back of her dress. It was the tightest, slinky black dress he had seen on anybody, with the back cut down to her ass, and the front dropped down nearly to her navel. Her large breasts were held in place by something magical, nearly spilling out from the material. The dress sparkled, with beads of metallic sheen that radiated the surrounding light. She looked dazzling. "Dayum! Where the hell did you find a dress like this? Your wardrobe is full of surprises!"
"Thanks Paul. You look so handsome too, in that Armani tux. How is it that you and Seth always seem to dress so much alike? You two act like twins."
"No, he just likes to copy me because I have good taste! That's why he's dating a model, because he can't have you."
Paul elbowed him. "Shut up Seth, with your sibling rivalry theories. I look better than you. Look at me and my GQ vibe. Come on Joy, if you had seen me first, who would you have picked? Tell the truth."
Paul watched Joy's eyes, as she looked back and forth between the two of them. Paul was the tallest, had deep dimples, and was a shade lighter than Seth's mocha skin tone. Seth had a little dimple in his chin. But they both looked so much alike it was uncanny. Both had thick curly hair, dancing light gray eyes, perfectly shaped full, juicy lips, and bodies so perfectly proportioned that they looked like statues.
Joy threw up one hand and shook her head. "No way are you two going to rope me into your crazy debates. You both look suave and sexy, but my husband has the edge. But I love you Paul, you know that. You know you're too fine, you don't even have to ask me!" she laughed.
"Ha!" Seth scoffed. "Where's the table, I gotta sit down after hearing his line of crap!"
"Speaking of women, where is your girlfriend, Paul?" Joy inquired.
"Oh, she had to go to a shoot in France. She will be gone for the next week. So I'm all alone here. Winging it."
"Bet he won't be going home alone, just watch him."
"Seth, I'm trying to be faithful to my girl. I'm just looking at the eye candy."
"Yeah, right. We'll see."
They all sat down at the table reserved for the guest of honor. Seth was receiving an award later in the night for Doctor of the Year, so they got the table closest to the dais and the dance floor.
The band started playing Earth Wind and Fire's "Can't Hide Love". Joy was about to grab Seth, but Paul, who was sitting on the other side of her, grabbed her hand first.
"Come on sis, let's show 'em how to move. You don't mind, do you Bro?"
"Yeah, I mind, but I know you're going anyway."
"Good. Come on Joy!"
They found a spot on the crowded dance floor. They were easily one of the best looking couples out there. Paul was a good dancer and he enjoyed spinning Joy around the floor. Many of the women from the hospital were there, some who worked for him in his lab, and he could see the jealousy written all over their faces as he held her tight and pulled her into his arms. He made sure he gave himself plenty of opportunities to caress Joy's lightly scented skin, while their bodies swayed with the groove of the music.
Paul hadn't seen Joy in months, and he was surprised that he missed her so much. She and Seth had been on the verge of divorce, caused by an apparent affair that Joy was having back in Chicago each time she flew back home for business. Her position as a commercial loan officer for real estate development had provided her the perfect opportunity for the illicit affair. Seth never would have known about it if he hadn't stumbled across some emails from Joy's love interest one day. Once the details emerged, Seth kicked Joy out, and they had been separated for over five months. The only thing that kept Seth from filing for divorce was Joy's continuous pleading for forgiveness, and the fact that he couldn't live without her. Paul had even urged him to get over her and move on, but he was adamant that he wanted to give the marriage another try. That's when he decided to invite Joy to the ball, and let her move back home on a trial basis.
"You know what, I'm so glad you two got back together. I was really getting tired of seeing Seth moping around all the time, acting like he was gonna die."
He twirled her around and pulled her back into his arms.
"I know I hurt him. I'm really sorry I put him through all of that. I hope he forgives me. I hope you forgive me too. I know how close you two are."
"Yeah, I was pretty mad at you. I even told him to leave you. But I don't think he could live without you. I'm serious. He is really hooked on you."
