Mom and I were both stunned when we finally heard Sophie was pregnant. After just one year at the University of Illinois she was coming home to have her first baby, a husband or boyfriend nowhere in sight.
She had left our modest home on the South Side of Chicago in September 2003, a full 4 year scholarship to their School of Applied Science in hand. She had always been a success, straight A's in high school, valedictorian of her class, All-State softball player, volunteer with the United Way, President of the Student Council etc., etc. The kind of person you'd love to hate, jealous of her successes. But she was popular. And beautiful! All through high school the boys had chased her and somehow she had dated many of them without becoming very serious with any of them and without angering or hurting anyone. There were probably ten or fifteen guys who graduated from Daley Senior High with their date or dates with Sis being among their happiest memories.
I was only eleven months younger than her, one year behind in school, smart but a nerd, uncomfortable socially and Sis was my hero. She had always been kind to me, and just the reflections of her popularity had allowed me to enjoy myself at school. Dad had left when I was five, Sis six; just walked out one day and never had been heard from since. He had been in his final year of Dentistry when he had met the beautiful, eighteen year old Eva Warinski, seducing, marrying and impregnating her, all within three months. Seven years later he left, going to California with his Dental Assistant and all the cash he could amass quickly.
Mom struggled. At the time Sophie and I had no idea how badly off we were, how Mom had to fight to get through the tough times. What saved her was two things; one, she had studied at night school over the six years of her marriage and had got her teaching certificate just three months before Dad left; and two, Grandpa Brown, Dad's father had supported us and helped us financially after Dad fled. With Dad gone and Mom working, Sis and I had become best friends, unquestionably supporting each other always.
While Sophie had waltzed through high school socially, I had struggled, almost totally unaware of sexual desire until I was struck late in my junior year, my previously repressed testosterone levels now suddenly surging wildly through my young body. Having ignored women outside Mom and Sis until then, I was completely unprepared to compete for their affections, both gawky and shy in any approaches I tried. It was only a couple of days before she was to leave for Champagne that Sophie sat me down one day for a man-to-man talk, as she laughingly called it.
"Ritchie, what's up with you and girls anyway," she started one afternoon.
"What do you mean?" I asked, the blush already spreading across my cheeks.
"Christ, you're eighteen, good looking, smart and have a good body. Even some of my friends got the hots for you. You never go out on dates; you're not gay are you?"
"Are you nuts? Of course not," I protested angrily. "I never was interested in it; I mean sex, until the last few months. Christ, now I'm going crazy. I want to jump on every girl at school I see. It's all I've thought about for weeks. I'm useless though, every time I go to talk to a girl I totally lose it, I act like an idiot. I may have to become a priest," I finished.
"Yeah, Ritchie the priest! Get real. But I don't understand, you talk to Mom and I with no problem, and when my friends come over you talk to them, they all really like you. Cripes, the other day Gina and Jill both told me they thought you were really sexy."
"They did?" I asked dumfounded.
"Yeah. And Gina just broke up with her boyfriend. Why don't you ask her out before she leaves for school?"
"She's older than me. She'd never want to go out with me. Besides, I get nervous, I don't know what to say and I'd end up sounding like a total loser."
"I can't believe it! Sophie Warinski, Miss Personality, has a dork brother. I don't think so! Have you looked in the mirror lately? Everyone's saying it 'Richard Warinski, he's so hot'. I could get you ten dates in five minutes," she finished laughing.
"Have you ever done it?" I asked suddenly.
"Yes," she said grinning, immediately understanding my question, "with three different guys."
"God, I've never even kissed a girl. Did you like it?"
"Yes, don't ever tell anyone, but I loved it! It's the best thing in the world. Geeze, why didn't you tell me your problem before, now I've only got two days to fix you up before I leave for school?"
She all of a sudden sat down in my lap and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Ugh, what are you doing?" I screeched.
"I just wanted to give you your first real kiss," she giggled.
"You're my sister, that doesn't count. In fact, I think it's illegal," I ended.
"Shut up and pay attention! Somebody's got to teach you; I don't want you going out totally unprepared, you'll make an ass of yourself and embarrass the whole Warinski family. I can just see the headline in the school paper, 'Sophie didn't teach her loser brother to kiss properly, he bites three girls by mistake'."
"Ha, ha, ha," I started, but she cut me off by planting her mouth forcefully on mine, and then restlessly moved her moist lips over mine. "Christ," I yelled, pulling back from the first touching of our tongues.
"So, you do like it! A little practice and all those junior ladies are going to be wetting their panties for you Bro."
"They're seniors now sis," I mumbled, almost too stunned to speak, my body reacting wildly to her kiss. Our mouths quickly joined again, long passionate kisses followed in turn by light pecks, Sophie all the while making comments, encouraging and leading. Minutes later we pushed apart, both of us excited by our actions, knowing we had slipped perilously close to forbidden territory.
"I think you can handle the kissing now," she finally panted, "What else don't you know about girls, about sex?"
"Theoretically I know it all, but practically I don't know fuck-all," I answered laughing. "Can I see your breasts, your nipples," I asked mischievously, suddenly brave, not expecting anything but to be told to screw off.
As she sat on my lap facing me, she quickly lifted her tank top over her head, her perfect, ruby-tipped tits unexpectedly exposed, jiggling slowly inches from my chest, from my suddenly nervous hands. "Touch them Ritchie," she insisted excitedly, then taking my hand she guided it slowly over the velvet hills, topped by their excited little buds. "No, Ritchie, not like that, don't hurt me; yes, yes, that's better, oh yes, just like that, again Ritchie, oh please, yes kiss them, more, uh ummmm, oh fuck, I love the feel of your lips sucking me. God, yesssss, I wish I was full of milk and you were drinking from my body, oh baby, it feels so good. Oh suck me Ritchie, suck me hard baby brother," she moaned.
Finally pulling away, I gasped, "I love your breasts Sophie, God, you're so beautiful, so fucking hot. I've always wanted to touch you, always; I dream of you at night, shit, I get hard thinking of you."
Lightly moving one hand across the front of my shorts, she whispered, "Do you masturbate?"
"C'mon Sophie, that's private."
"Not to your sister, it isn't. Lets have it, I want all the details," she insisted, softly caressing. "Let me see it anyway, I want to make sure you're not deformed or something."
"No fucking way," I protested, but at the same time was secretly pleased and excited. I knew immediately that I wanted her to see my penis, to touch it, to hold it. Pretending to argue, I finally undid the top button and lowered my zipper slowly, allowing my hardness to jump into view.
"He's not bad for an eighteen year old," Soph said grinning, but I had seen in her eyes when he first popped out both surprise and desire, and I easily sensed her hunger for him. "Can I touch him?" she asked casually, "I'll be the first women to hold him."
I almost fainted when her fingers first touched me, softly moving from my pubic hair to his now scarlet head, her nails trailing lightly over the surface. "Jesus, Sophie," I wailed, the inevitable pressure building fast in my balls. Her grip tightened and she milked my straining shaft, her hands moving in long hard strokes until at last I exploded, my cum leaping outwards from my body, most landing on her arms and shirt. For seconds we both sat stunned, both understanding our relationship was forever changed, knowing this moment would always be in our minds.
"Well," she eventually sputtered, "I think you're going to be OK with girls next year. Everything seems to work just perfect." And then we both broke out laughing, relieved that we were still able to communicate, that we both saw some humor in the situation.
Two days later Mom and Sophie packed the car and were ready to set out for the drive to Champagne. Before hopping into the car, Soph hugged me, gave me a sisterly kiss and then whispered in my ear that she had left me a present and hoped I liked it. Going back into the house I didn't see anything for me in either my room or Sophie's and wondered if she had been making fun of me. Twenty minutes later the doorbell rang, and when I opened it I found Sophie's best friend Gina smiling on the porch. "Present for Mr. Ritchie Warinski," she sang, opening her overcoat to reveal her naked, nubile, young body.
