It was closing in on Christmas, so I was heading to my brother's place again. As always, lately, my thoughts did not stray far from what happened before Thanksgiving, when I was there last.
I had fucked my sister-in-law; a dream come true! Then realized my brother and his little girlfriends had been watching. I didn't take that very well. Laura, my sister-in-law, did, however. She beamed at their congratulatory applause and called me a prude. Me! The guy who had just fucked his sister-in-law in the ass!
I sighed. Yeah. Me.
I moped about while Laura was making dinner that night. After dinner, she pulled me aside. "Ben, quit acting like a child. I like sex! No, I LOVE sex! And I will NOT be slut-shamed in my own home!"
"I would NEVER...!" I started.
She interrupted, in a mocking voice, "I can't believe my precious, sainted Laura could ever be a part of these sordid goings-on!"
My face burned with embarrassment.
In a softer voice, full of care and sincerity, Laura continued, "Ben, I DO love sex, and that's okay." I nodded.
"But you know what's not okay?" she asked. I shook my head. "You putting me on a pedestal. I'm just a normal, regular, everyday person, Ben. Absolutely nothing special. Ok?" I shook my head again. I couldn't bear to hear her say that. "I will burn your breakfast in the morning, just to show you I'm not perfect!" She smiled, and it lit up her face. I smiled back.
"Okay, okay." I said. I put my hands up in mock submission. I will never believe she's not special, but I had to admit she had a point about me putting her on a pedestal. She was my brother's wife. I couldn't afford to fall in love with her.
I left the next day, after a lovely un-burned pancake breakfast. I had planned on staying another day, but then decided I needed the solitude of the highway to process.
Now, it was over a month later. I had pined for the loss of my Laura-on-high. Then I had gotten angry with myself. Then I felt ashamed. Now, I am-ok. I am. I'm okay with it all. Why shouldn't Laura enjoy herself? Why shouldn't Frank enjoy himself?
Why shouldn't I enjoy myself?
I pulled up to my brother's place. The sign was still there, although I noticed a small hole in it. I chuckled. Guess I wasn't the only one around uptight about the sex going on up here! I read the sign more carefully this time. "Warning," the sign said. "This is notice that from this point, any and all adult females are to make themselves available to any and all adult males. Proceeding past this point is consent!"
Hmm, I thought. Maybe the sign wasn't so much for women as it was for me?
I parked and ran to the door. It was freezing out! I idly wondered if anyone would be naked inside in this weather.
I found the answer immediately. From the mudroom, I could see there were four naked asses standing in front of a roaring fire. I started removing layers. I got down to my undershirt and boxers and hesitated. Then, I mentally shrugged and decided "when in Rome...!"
As I walked in the living room, Laura turned from the fire and squealed, "Ben!" Everyone else turned around.
"Bro!" Frank yelled, rushing over. He side-hugged me. "Hey, guys! Look who's here!"
