Chapter 13: FAMILY COMFORT
Two doors down, on the opposite side of Pleasant Street, is the house that once was the home of Ann and Mike Connors. As of today, I guess it's just Ann Connors' house. At the market earlier today I overheard two of my other female neighbors saying that Mike Connors had left his wife and was living somewhere in New Jersey with his secretary, a skinny young blonde.
Ann Connors is definitely not skinny. I'd say she's the epitome of what some people - mostly on internet porn sites - refer to as a BBW, or a "big, beautiful woman." Ann, who I think is in her early forties, stands probably five-nine or five-ten, probably weighs ten or fifteen pounds over two hundred, and has auburn hair she wears straight and cut ear length. She also has an incredibly attractive, youthful face. She has a great personality, too, and there's something about her I find very sensual, although you have to look to see that aspect of her. I've always had the feeling she's a tiger in bed but, unfortunately, I've never had a chance to find out.
Ann has a brother named Vic who's a few years younger than she is. They're very close. In fact, I just saw his car go by my house. I'm sure he's stopping in to check on his big sister and, perhaps, to provide a little comfort to her during this crisis in her life.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK
Vic Warfield got two calls that totally changed his day. Both were about his sister, Ann. One was from his mother, the other was from his sister, who was sobbing so hard he could barely understand her. Both calls informed him that his brother-in-law had left his sister and for his secretary. Vic immediately dropped what he was doing and headed for her house. He was worried about how upset his sister sounded and he was furious at his brother-in-law, who he'd never liked anyhow, for hurting his sister, even though Vic was convinced that his sister would be better off without that "lazy no-good asshole." Vic had never been fond of his brother-in-law.
He pulled into the driveway in front of the garage, shut off his car, got out, walked up the steps to his sister's back porch, knocked, then opened the door and went inside his sister's house.
His sister Ann was standing next to the kitchen table. She was dressed in a plain Oxford-style man-tailored pale blue shirt and a pair of chino slacks. Her brown eyes were a red, and her hair was disheveled. It was obvious she was upset and had been crying.
"Annie, are you OK?" he asked. He walked over to his sister, who was almost as tall as he was, and pulled her into his arms. She buried her face in the crook of his neck.
"Oh, God, Vic," his sister sobbed. "He...he left me! Mike left me."
"I know, honey," Vic said. He put his arms around his sister's ample body and rubbed her back. "I heard. Mom called and told me. Then you called. That's why I'm here."
Vic held his sister and let her cry, but as he did, he realized something else, and his discovery troubled him. His body was reacting to having his sister's body pressed against it in ways a brother shouldn't be reacting to his sister. As he rubbed her back, he could feel where her bra crossed it. That didn't help his dilemma at all. He was supposed to be comforting her - and maybe he was - but, unfortunately, he wasn't doing much to comfort himself.
"What am I going to do, Vic?" she said. "I've failed at my marriage. I'm going to be alone now. It's...it's because...I...I'm so fat. I know that's the reason Mike left me for...for...her."
"Did he...did Mike tell you that?" Vic asked. Rage churned up inside him. It wouldn't have surprised him if his jerk of a brother-in-law had been that insensitive. "Did he tell you he was leaving you because of your weight?"
"Well...no...not...not exactly...but...but look at her...that woman he's with now...I mean...why else would he have left me?" his sister sobbed. "I...I've been trying to lose weight, but...but I...I just can't do it. I...I'm a failure. I'm a fat slob."
Vic continued to rub his sister's back and, unfortunately, it continued to have an extremely arousing effect on him. His sister did seem to be calming down. Her sobs didn't seem to be as wracking as they'd been when he first got to her house.
After a few more minutes of crying, she took a deep breath, leaned back in her brother's arms, and looked at him. "Vic...do...do you think I'm...I'm fat?" she asked. "Do you think that's...that's why...why Mike left me?"
"Hell, no, sis," her brother replied. "Ah...no...I, um, I...I don't think...you know...you're too...fat." He noticed that his voice sounded a little funny and hoped his sister wasn't picking up on that.
"You...you don't? Really?" his sister asked. She took a step back and looked at him carefully.
His sister's sudden movement caught Vic off guard. She only moved backward about a half-step, but it was far enough so that his hands, which had been on her back, wound up resting on the sides of her generously sized breasts. He pulled his hands away quickly. Ann turned bright red and his face got very hot. "I...I'm sorry, honey," he stammered, "I...I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, Vic, don't be silly. That was an accident," Ann said softly. She stepped toward him. "Please don't be embarrassed. What...what you were doing felt nice." Her face got even redder. "Rubbing my back, I mean."
Vic had no idea how to handle his situation. His sister was clearly upset because her asshole husband had dumped her. He'd come over to offer comfort, but wound up with a raging hard-on and no idea what to do about it. Ann said she liked it when he rubbed her back, but he was afraid to get close enough to her to do that again out of fear she'd feel his erection and hate him. Instead, he began stroking her arm. Her blouse was made of a satiny-feeling material. Touching her through it felt wonderful.
Ann smiled, closed her eyes, and sighed softly. "God, that feels nice," she murmured.
"Come here," Vic said softly, holding his arms open.
Ann took a step forward and Vic put his arms around her again. She nestled into his arms and he could feel her large breasts pressing into his chest. His throat tightened and his erection jerked in his pants. He kept holding her, but he held his hips back, not wanting her to know how his body was reacting to being against hers. The last thing she needed was to find out that he was some kind of sicko pervert.
Ann tilted her head back, looked up at him, and her lips parted ever so slightly. Without thinking, Vic covered her lips with his.
At first his sister stiffened in his arms, then she uttered a soft moan, relaxed and began kissing him back with a fervor that startled him. Their kiss grew more ardent and passionate the longer it continued. Vic's tongue caressed Ann's lips and, tentatively, her tongue came out, seeking his. Her arms slid around his neck and she pressed against him even more tightly, uttering a muffled groan into his mouth. Her reaction was totally unexpected to him.
When the kiss ended, Ann leaned back in his arms and gazed at him wide-eyed. Her more than ample chest was heaving and she was trembling as he held her. "What...what's happening, Vic?" she whispered. "We...we shouldn't be...I...I shouldn't be... Not...not with...with you..."
