Chapter 1
It wouldn’t have happened if they weren’t so broke all the time. Trying to come to grips with the situation she found herself in, Tori continued to get ready for what was to come that afternoon. Having finished with her makeup, she proceeds to do her hair, wondering if her brother in law would even notice her hair tonight. She didn’t think he noticed the other day when she did that thing to him. Nervous wasn’t even a strong enough word to describe what she felt about her second meeting with her brother in law. Being trapped on all sides will make anyone do anything…
“Yeah of course we’ll loan you the money, you know we’ll help out family anyway we can.” Brad said.
“We could really use the money. We wouldn’t ask if there was another way to save our house.” John said, trying to hold his shaking hands still as he reached for his drink.
“Don’t worry about it guys, you’ve been good about paying back the money that went to paying off your truck.” Brad said with an easy grin on his face, all the while his mind racing faster and faster with the possibilities that would be his if he played his cards right.
“Tori, you know we’ll help you out, that’s what sisters do for each other, so don’t worry too much. I know you’ll get a job soon and so will John. It happens to many newlyweds, so don’t fret.” soothed Katy, Tori’s older sister.
“This means so much to us, we promise we’ll pay it all back. Won’t we John?”
“Yeah, we will…but I want to make sure we’re putting you guys in a hard place by asking for this loan?” asked John.
“You know we’re good financially Tori, John, so don’t worry about us.” Explained Brad, which was true, due to his smart investing in certain companies during the late ‘90’s.
“Listen, just tell us how much you need and we’ll write you a check, right here, right now.”
“I’ll go get the checkbook, be back in a minute.” Katy said, making her way to the bedroom.
Brad leaned forward, looking at both John and Tori “ How much do you really need guys? Be honest, because it can’t be that easy coming here every other month to ask for money.”
“I…we need enough to float the house payment for 4 months and enough to take care of the credit card bills for the same amount of time. We plan on having jobs within the next 3 months, but if you really want to help us, you could make sure we’re covered for the next 4 months. That should do it Brad, honestly.” Tori was at his side nodding vigorously the whole time.
“So how much are we taking about here? $5,000 or more?”
“I…I think it’s more like $8,000.” Tori jumped in before John could say that $5,000 sounded just right.
John took one quick at Tori before saying “ Yeah, $8,000 would take care of it.”
Brad smiled inside, knowing that the $5,000 he’d offered would have taken care of their situation. He’d raised the total to $8,000 on a whim to see if they’d take the bait. Adding that to the car loan they were already paying to Brad and Katy, and the $1,000 they’d asked for to start a doomed business, Brad figured it totaled up to about $20,000. And now it was time to set the hook.
Trying to hide the excitement and thrill he felt inside, Brad said, “Well, that’s quite a bit of a loan, I can see why you guys came to us. But we can’t do that all in one check. I’ll tell you what we can do. We’ll make deposits to your account every month or so, that way, we don’t empty our account, and you guys won’t be tempted to spend what you don’t have. The reason for this is also because we don’t that kind of money at the moment.” Which was a lie but, Brad figured, it was a safe one.
Katy came in with the checkbook just as Brad finished speaking. “ Did you guys figure out what you needed?” Asked Katy.
“Yeah, I think we’ve got it all hammered out, don’t you guys agree?” Brad said before Tori or John had a chance to say anything.
“Yeah, we’re all set.” John said, as he watched Brad start to write a check. From somewhere deep inside John, a bad feeling began to grow. Second thoughts began to surface, thinking of how much they’d end up owing Brad and Katy. John looked over at Tori, wondering if she felt the same. He’d also begun to feel bad about asking for much more then what was needed. John had begun to lose hope of finding a job that would allow him to make good money. Tori had rolled through a few jobs in the last few months, quitting for what seemed to be good reasons. Bad bosses, sexual proposals, come on’s from co-workers. John said he believed her when she came home from job after job. But now, he was beginning to have doubts that those jobs were that bad. There was no doubt Tori was attractive, but, to his mind, she couldn’t be that good looking. After all, she married him! Laughing inside at his little joke, he allowed his eyes to roam over his wife’s body. Sandy blond hair, blue eyes, tiny frame, perky B-cup breasts, a nice ass, and long shapely legs. It was still strange to think that he was married to her. It hadn’t even been a year yet, and he was still getting to know her. As his mind began to float over to the sexual side of their marriage, a voice interrupted his thoughts….
“Here you go guys, now remember what we agreed to.” Brad said, holding the check out to John.
“Yeah, we will. And thanks again guys.” Said John, feeling a wave of gratitude wash over him.
“Don’t mention it. And really don’t mention it, if you catch my drift.” Brad said, looking them in the eye, one at a time. “I don’t want anyone to hear about this or it ends this very minute. Understand?”
“Yeah, don’t worry, we won’t say a word.”
“Good, now, how about we fire up the barbeque and have some steaks to seal the deal?” Brad said with a grin.
John couldn’t help but smile himself. Ever since he started going out with Tori, him and Brad had gone out and spent a weekend a month doing whatever they felt like. We’re like brothers John thought to himself as they all got up to go outside. Getting ready to put the check in his wallet, John took a look at the amount. It was only for a thousand, but it would cover all their immediate expenses. Tori glanced over at the total on the check, and John could tell she was a little disappointed. One thing John did know was that Tori was a bit of a moneygrubber. He allowed himself a little smile. Brad sure knew what he was doing!
The barbeque was great, and all were satisfied with dinner. Brad tried to stay calm during dinner, but with the images flashing thru his mind and the feeling of power he felt, he still ended up a little giddy, happy as a clam. The dishes were done and the goodbyes were said as Tori and John left for home. Brad came up behind his wife, giving her a great big hug. He loved the way she smelled. She turned around with a smile on her face and said “ Well! What’s made you so happy?”
“I just like knowing I that I’ve just given somebody some hope and something to hold on to.”
“Oh yeah, I know something I’d like to hold on to.” Katy said with a sexy little smile.
“Be my guest, I have much to give!” Brad said, holding his arms over his head.
“Let’s take this to the bedroom, Mr. Good-deeds!”
As they walked to the bedroom, Brad watched the motion of his wife’s ass. I think I’ll have a little of everything tonight, thought Brad. From her auburn hair, past her C-cup tits, down below her wonderful ass, all the way down to her toes, Katy was a sexy, sexy woman. It was true she’d put on a little weight, but Brad didn’t care.
