"Can I ask you something?"
I looked over at Gary with a sudden wariness. It wasn't the first time that I had been alone with him since moving in but it was one of the first since Ryan and I had resumed having sex. Unless we were alone, out of respect for Gary, we weren't as loud as we had been that first morning, but there was no question what was happening whenever we closed the bedroom door when he was home. Since Gary had initially learned of my relationship with my brother he seemed to be accepting of it but occasionally I thought I saw him giving us strange looks when he thought we weren't looking. I knew eventually he would ask some questions but that didn't necessarily make me ready for them. "Sure."
Gary took a breath. "I know Ryan pretty well, or at least I thought I did, and I know how close you two were before. But...did he...were you... Are you really okay? I'm not saying I think he would hurt you but I also didn't think he'd get one of his sisters pregnant."
I knew Gary pretty well and I understood what he was trying to ask. For all the things Ryan was, he was not the type of guy that would force himself on anyone. I had seen and experienced him pulling out all the stops in order to get laid, sure, but he always respected a no in the end. He proved that to me during the month that we didn't have sex and was still proving it by the fact that he's never once complained about us not having sex and by now letting me be the one to initiate it.
"I'm fine," I said genuinely. "I get that this is weird and if a year ago you would have told me that Ryan and I would have a relationship like this, I would have told you that you were crazy. Ryan didn't force himself on me or anything, he just took the risk to ask and I said yes. I'm not naive enough to think that this is going to be forever or that other people will even try to be half as understanding as you, but trust me when I tell you I'm safe and happy with what he and I have."
Gary nodded, seemingly satisfied. "I'm not going to lie, I do think you two are crazy, but you're good for him. I'm sure you've noticed how different he is now."
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm a little surprised."
"So am I. While I agree that it's probably going to be rough for you two, I'm here. You guys are like family to me." He paused and made a face. "That has a whole new meaning, now."
I chuckled.
That conversation seemed to calm whatever fears or concerns Gary had about Ryan and me. He was more relaxed around us and I noticed fewer awkward glances come from him. That led to me being less uncomfortable about showing my affection for Ryan around him.
One Saturday, I was curled up next to my brother on the sofa and Gary was sprawled out across an armchair. We had the TV on but none of us were really watching it. Gary was playing on his Gameboy and Ryan and I were talking about things I could do over the summer both to keep busy and prepare for the baby.
It had been a few days since we last had sex and I wasn't exactly horny but could tell Ryan was. While I knew he had no problems letting me know when he wanted sex, he was not the same sex-crazed young man he had been when we first starting messing around and now let me approach him when I was ready. I found it a great turn on that he was thinking of me as less than an easy lay and truly as someone he wanted to have a relationship with.
Trying not to draw attention to what I was doing and hopeful that my body would hide us from Gary, I worked one of my hands into Ryan's basketball shorts and took hold of his soft dick. I heard him suck in a soft breath and felt the hand that had been resting on my shoulder begin to move lightly across my neck. I glanced up at him and saw him watching me with a smirk. With slow, short movements, I stroked him to hardness all while continuing our conversation. It didn't take him long to become fully erect and he adjusted his t-shirt to cover the top of his cock that became exposed above his waistband. I kept moving my hand over his dick not intending to get him off but simply wanting to feel him.
His shaft was thick in my hand and I could feel the power coursing through it. It was as if all of the strength in his body became concentrated there when it filled with blood. He intentionally flexed it a few times pulling it out of my grasp each time and I couldn't help giggling quietly in response. I played around the end feeling how firm but spongy his pointed tip was. Compared to his shaft it was soft and pliant but was stiff enough that it would easily accomplish the task of entering me when the time came. I ran my thumb over the piss slit and continued to stimulate his crown until I felt wetness begin to seep out of it. There was not a lot, just enough to make its presence known. It was slick and at the same time sticky. I enjoyed playing with it but once his precum began to flow steadily, I moved my hand down his shaft to play with his sack. Even trapped in the fabric of his shorts they were loose and puddled between his legs. For as much as I loved my brother's cock, I was that much more fascinated by his balls. I found it amazing that when warm they hung low and swung between his legs like a pendulum. The large eggs inside weighed down the skin and pulled it to resemble an hourglass. When he was cold or highly aroused and nearing orgasm, they drew up close to his body and formed a single large, wrinkled ball that felt nearly as solid as his cock head.
"Do you two really think I don't know what you're doing over there?"
Startled by Gary's voice, I looked over and saw him still staring dispassionately at his phone. I blushed with embarrassment at being caught and removed my hand from inside Ryan's shorts. Held in check by his waistband, the thick ridge of Ryan's cock was visible pressing against his shorts and t-shirt as it pointed toward his chest. Chastised, I sat up and moved slightly away from Ryan. "Sorry."
Ryan stood and grabbed my hand to pull me to my feet. Because of his movement to stand, some of his shirt had gotten caught between his dick and torso and the fabric outlined his erection like shrink wrap. He made no move to adjust it as he said, "Sorry, man."
"It was my fault," I offered.
"Whatever." Gary waved a hand dismissively. "He's gone further with other chicks while I was in the room. Not recently," he added quickly realizing how it sounded.
