My sister, Lynn, was only ten when I moved out of the alcohol filled, often physically abusive, house that we called home when I was sixteen. For ten years, we talked on the telephone often, visited some and shared every thought. I thoroughly enjoyed her company and I think she felt the same way. Then things changed. The last time, I saw her was ten years ago when she got married at twenty to an older man who I instantly disliked. Lynn was taking the first chance to escape, just like I had done.
This last year had been crazy. At thirty six, I was successful with my writing and a dismal failure in selecting women. Luckily, I had not married any of my picks or fathered any children. After two book tours in one year, I was tired. I just wanted to sit at home and write. Even the ring of my telephone was an unwelcomed interruption.
"Rob, this is Lynn, your sister. I'm sorry for not giving you any notice but I am in Atlanta and hoping you have some time for me to come by for a visit."
"Sure, I would like to see you. It has been a long time. Where are you? I'll come get you and bring you to my place."
Atlanta's Greyhound bus station is no place for an unprotected woman, even at three in the afternoon on an early spring day. Especially, a woman who reeked of sex appeal and who had a pretty ten year old daughter with her. Lynn had matured nicely, favoring mom's side of the family. She was as tall as me (5'10"), thin, blond, blue eyes, small breasted and athletic - much like the female pro beach-volleyball players you see on television. Lynn's pretty daughter definitely got her features from my father, like I did. Her cold black hair, hazel-green eyes and olive skin provided contrast to her overly white teeth.
The two beauties were standing on the curb next to a phone booth with one tattered, old cardboard, suitcase when I pulled up in my silver 500 SEL. Lynn talked nervously, introducing Glenn and dodging the "800 pound gorilla" subject that would explain her unexpected arrival. She was struggling not to blurt everything out. I tried to help her relax.
"This is a wonderful surprise. Let's go directly home, get you both unpacked, get you fed and then let's settle down and you catch me up on the last ten years of what has happened in your lives. I don't know anything and am anxious to get to know both of the two beautiful women who are visiting me."
That last line was said for Glenn's benefit. She giggled, smiled and beamed from her secure seat in the back.
They were both tired and appreciated the early dinner. Lynn kept disappearing to explore my big quiet house on gated grounds. Glenn had discovered the Wii set-up in the family room and was set for at least a month.
I was standing by the kitchen sink when Lynn returned and offered, "You've done well for yourself, Big Brother."
"Thanks, Sis, but why don't you tell me about your visit and what's going on in your world?"
A pallor came over her face. Her eyes looked frightened and tear filled. Her body tensed, as if getting ready to take a blow.
"Relax, Lynn, it has been a long time but I'm still your brother. Remember how we used to talk to each other, on every subject. Tell me everything. Together, we can make things right."
That tiny bit of support was all she needed to collapse against me in a big hug and free the tears to roll down her cheeks and wet my shoulder. I waited the minutes she needed. I got her settled at the breakfast nook and gave her a cup of coffee. It was still twilight outside.
"Tom cleaned out the bank accounts, mortgaged the house to the hilt and just left Glenn and me five months ago. We were evicted and are flat broke. Through your agent, I discovered you were home and the women's shelter in Birmingham bought us bus tickets to Atlanta. I was afraid to call you and give you a chance to say "No." I'm sorry Rob, but I don't have any other options. Can we stay with you until I can find a job and get a place for us?"
"Sure you can."
The floodgates opened again. Lynn was physically and emotionally exhausted. I just sat with her until she ran out of tears, then we talked for five hours. By midnight, Glenn had long since fallen asleep on the couch with a game controller in her hand. I picked her up and carried her to the guest room, I had them sharing for tonight.
Lynn pulled the covers back and I laid Glenn down on the bed. I watched Lynn lovingly cover her and kiss her goodnight. When Lynn stood, I was a little too close. Again she wrapped her arms around me and nestled against me letting my stronger arms hold her. She talked to my shoulder. "Thank you, for putting us up for a while. We'll help around the house and we won't be much trouble. I'm sure I can find a secretarial job quickly in Atlanta."
"Take your time. You have to rest and recover some. You are not ready to work right now."
Having someone care was too much emotion for Lynn. We did not know how to be brother and sister. She turned her face to mine and kissed me squarely on the lips. It wasn't a passionate kiss but it wasn't a brother/sister kiss either. I felt the kiss of a desirable woman and put some inappropriate passion into my response. I was embarrassed, as so was Lynn.
We were still in our hug when I spoke, "Sis, sleep as late as you want tomorrow. We'll get Glenn into the local school. I'll make some calls for you about a job. Maybe you will answer a few questions for me."
She started to reply when she felt my hardening cock against her hip. Her body tensed.
"I won't hurt you and I am not going to attack you or demand things from you. I am male and it has been a while since I felt such a desirable woman in my arms. I apologize. Remember, how it embarrassed you, years ago, when I confessed to being attracted to you? Have you read any of my mysteries or fantasies?"
To my last question, I got that wonderful blank female, "What the hell are you talking about?" stare. Such looks are wonderful to keep the male ego in check.
"We'll talk some more tomorrow. I'll show you around and break out a car for you."
She did not let go. Her eyes were filled with questions and her hips pressed into my increasingly uncomfortable cock. "Sis, your brother is a very oral man, who enjoys the company of a woman way too much. I've never found one that would not manipulate me for money and stuff. Relax and just get some good rest. You and Glenn are very safe here. We'll talk another night, if you want to get to know your brother."
I cupped the side of her face, turned her lips toward mine and kissed her sweetly again, to say, "Goodnight." As I pulled away, my tongue automatically licked across her lips. We both were surprised that I did that.
"I cook a mean breakfast, if you are up around eight."
