This is my first ever story, go easy on me!
This story was inspired by a couple of scenes in the book "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman, you should read it if you haven't.

"Well, it's sorted", said Mark as he placed the phone back in the receiver. "Steve will be over on Saturday for dinner". Mark turned to face his fiancée Victoria, who had been standing at the doorway while he had talked to his half-brother on the phone. Steve and Mark had not seen each other in years until the recent death of their father reunited them. As they had so much to catch up on, Mark had suggested Steve come over for dinner. Steve had readily accepted, claiming he would love to get to know Mark's wife-to-be better and they finalised the details of the affair on the phone a few days later. Mark's stomach had been vaguely uneasy all week since he made the original offer. His older half-brother had always had a strange effect on him. Even as a kid, while Mark excelled at school and in sports, and was an all round popular guy, his half-brother always managed to gain the upper hand on him and left him feeling inferior. He wasn't even sure why he had suggested dinner in the first place, but Steve had seemed very keen to accept.
Victoria walked over to her fiancé and kissed him on the cheek. She had sensed his unease around Steve at the funeral. The usual confident Mark had been transformed into a timid puppy around his brash half-brother who commanded everyone's attention without appearing to try. Victoria was shocked when the idea of dinner was proposed by Mark, but was hoping that it would prove to be an opportunity for the brothers to sort out whatever conflict was obviously simmering underneath. Victoria obviously wanted all of Mark's family to be present at their wedding next year, including this prodigal son if Mark approved.
Mark pulled his wife close to him and kissed the top of her head. He knew he was a lucky man to be engaged to a woman like Victoria. At 5'3", she was nearly a foot shorter than him. Her body was toned and petite, with a round ass that looked incredible when she wore her yoga pants. Her skin was naturally tanned, with dirty blonde hair that came down to her shoulders. What caught people's attention though, were her breasts. While her 32C chest wasn't the biggest, it stood out impressively on her small frame. With pink nipples that were easily excited, Victoria's ample tits never failed to make his cock hard. Mark grinned and Victoria kissed him again, everything would be ok he was sure.

It was the day of the dinner and Mark was a ball of nerves. The house was spotless, a delicious smelling roast was cooking in the oven and Victoria was breathtaking in a sleek dark green dress with a plunging neckline that showcased her impressive bosom. Victoria assured him everything was perfect but he refused to relax, pacing back and forth in the living room as Steve's agreed time of arrival came and went. Finally, 30 minutes late, the doorbell rang and Mark had to restrain himself from running to the door.
Victoria laughed to herself in the kitchen as Mark let his half-brother in and heard them greet each other. Her poor man was worrying over nothing. She was confident this time together would help repair whatever rift had occurred between the two of them so many years ago. She put the vegetables back on the hob and walked out to the hallway to greet their guest. Steve grinned broadly at the slight of her and kissed her on the cheek as they hugged. She saw his eyes linger on her cleavage as they pulled apart, but most men were guilty of that.
Victoria led Steve into their living room where Mark was already seated. Steve made himself comfortable on their two seater couch while Mark sat stiffly in the armchair across from him. Victoria thought this was odd as she fetched beers for the guys and poured herself a glass of wine. Normally Mark and she would sit beside each other on their small couch, while visitors took one of the armchairs. She served the drinks and sat beside Steve as the men talked about what had been going on in their lives the last few years. As the conversation droned on Victoria felt her attention wavering. Steve was dominating the discussion and his voice seemed so... boring. Suddenly she snapped back to reality, something had changed. Of course, Mark, her fiancé, was sitting by her side all along. How had she thought Steve was there? She rested her head on Mark's shoulder as he continued to talk.
Mark had the feeling that something wasn't right. As usual, Steve was dominating proceedings. Taking the best seat in the house and forcing Victoria to sit uncomfortably beside him. He didn't seem to let anyone else get a word in and Mark just looked on dispassionately. Then a change seemed to come over Victoria. She jerked out of the stupor she had slowly been sinking into and seemed to become more relaxed. Then she laid her head on Steve's shoulder and closed her eyes contentedly. Steve responded by putting his arm around her, his hand resting just under her left breast. Something is definitely amiss, though Mark.
Victoria snuggled into her man's shoulder as he put his arm around her. She had never noticed before, but he smelled so good. It wasn't cologne or deodorant, it was just the smell of a man and it was amazing. Victoria felt herself start to moisten; she hoped Mark was ready for some action once his stupid half-brother cleared off. After he had finished up his beer, Mark announced it was time for dinner and Victoria leapt up, eager to serve.
