It all started with the purchase of a bathing suit. I live alone, or should I say that I have lived alone since the tragic death of my wife. She died in a car crash a little over a year ago. It was really hard for a long time, and since then, I've done nothing but immerse myself in my work.
My saving grace was my sister Lisa and her two boys. You see I work in the city all week but I live in a seaside community that my wife and I loved. We have a built in pool, and the beach is a block away. The boys love it, and they started to come out on weekends as soon as the weather got nice this spring. My sister's ex gets them every other weekend.
Well one Sunday evening when they were leaving I absentmindedly said to my sister.
"I'll see you next week."
"No." She replied." Jimmy has the boys next week."
"Oh." I thought. "Why don't just you come out?"
"Really!" She sounded surprised.
"Absolutely, this house gets pretty lonely by myself."
"You're sure Bill?"
"Yes."
"OK, great, I'll see you next week."
Well Friday came along, and after my sister called me a few times during the week to reassure herself that it was OK. She showed up right on time at 7:00.
I got us a couple of beers from the outside bar, and we sat by the pool and talked.
"You don't know how much I appreciate this." My sister said. " Otherwise I'd be stuck at Mon's all weekend.
You have to know my younger sister. She is an absolutely stunning, tall, blond. She's a yoga instructor so she keeps herself in great shape. She could have her pick of any guy, but her divorce is still pending, and her ex is fighting her for custody of the kids.
"He doesn't want them." She told me one day. "He wants to move on with his new girlfriend, but he's using them as a legal ploy so that he won't have to pay me so much support. So my lawyer tells me that I have to give up on any kind of social life. No going to bars, no hanging out with my girlfriends, and especially no boyfriends. If I do, my ex could say in court that I'm a bad mother. Amazing right, his girlfriend lives with him, and I have to be like fucking Mother Theresa!"
I looked at her in the patio lights. She was still beautiful. Even after two kids, and seven years married to an idiot.
"Don't worry about it." I assured her again. "I can really use the company."
"It's just that I wouldn't have any life at all without you." She said, almost crying.
"You're a good brother, and I wish that there was some way to thank you?"
"I'll figure out a way." I replied innocently, but it perked up my sister's ears.
"Oh you will, will you?"
"What? Oh, I didn't mean it like that." I said blushing.
"I know you're lonely, but..."
"I didn't mean it like that."
"I know. Not that I would mind. You know how long it's been since I've been with a man?"
"Ah, no."
"Well, this divorce shit has been going on for over a year, and Jimmy and I weren't doing it at the end."
"A year and a half?" I asked.
"At least. I've started looking at the mailman funny."
"It's funny." I wondered. "We're both fairly attractive and lonely, at least you're attractive."
"Don't forget horny!" My sister added. "And don't sell yourself so short. I've seen those new six-pack abs you're sporting."
"Well, if we were just good friends, we could get liquored up and give each other... Well you know." I said embarrassedly realizing where I was going with the conversation.
It became very silent as we both pondered the situation. We had another couple of beers and engaged in a little small talk. Then my sister said it was late and she was going to her room.
"We going to the beach tomorrow?" Lisa asked.
"If you want."
"Yes I want." And then she walked over to me and sat at the edge of my chaise lounge. "Thanks again for everything."
Somehow it was different. I could smell her perfume, and I noticed her nipples poking though both a bra and tank top. She leaned over and kissed me. Not on the cheek, as she would normally do, but on the lips. I tasted lipstick for the first time in over 15 months.
It was definitely different as she got up and her hair brushed my cheek. I then watched her ass as she walked to the back door of the house. That night, before I fell asleep, I jerked off, and tried not to think about my little sister.
The next morning, after breakfast, we headed for the beach. If I had any thoughts of checking out my sister's body in a bikini, they were quickly dashed. I forgot about her "Mom" bathing suit. I wouldn't describe it as sexy. It's a one piece with a skirt.
I put down the beach chairs and as I sat in mine, Lisa took off her tee shirt and shorts. I almost laughed when I saw her in it.
"What?" she asked.
"What's with the suit?"
"What's wrong with it? You've seen it before."
"A little matronly, don't you think."
"Hey I'm the mother of two boys."
'Not this weekend you're not."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is all I got." She said a little hurt.
"I'm sorry Lees, I'm being rude." I apologized. I kept forgetting about her money problems. "Listen, later we'll go back for lunch and then we can stop by the Surf shop and see what they have."
"That's alright, I can't afford a new suit"
"I've got it." I insisted.
"You do too much already."
"Don't you remember I'd figure out a way for you to pay me back." I kidded.
She laughed. "OK!" It was all right.
"Besides, I don't want anyone thinking that I go to the beach with my Mom."
After a couple of hours, we walked back to the house and had lunch. I made us a couple of tall, and strong gin and tonics.
"Wow that's good, but strong." Lisa exclaimed. "What are you trying to do get me drunk?"
"Yeah, I want to see if you'll get a thong bikini."
"Yeah right, you'd need about ten of these to get me in one of those." She insisted. "Look about that. It's really sweet of you to offer, but I can't let you buy me a swim suit."
"Listen, you're my sister, and I know you're going though a hard time, both emotionally and financially.
You know after Annie died I was really bad off. The only thing that got me through it, and helped me to forget, was work. The strange thing about it is that the boss is thrilled with me. Just a month ago I got promoted."
"Really that's great!"
"Yeah I guess, but I felt a little weird about it. My boss John told me that after Annie died he didn't know what they were going to do with me. He knew how much I loved her and he figured that I would either quit or he would have to let me go. Instead, I became super-worker, and now a year later, he's promoting me. You know I was dead for a really long time. It's only after you and the boys started coming out here that I really started to feel alive again. The point is, that I'm now more financially secure than ever, and you and the boys have done more for me than I could ever do for you."
Lisa walked over to me and put her arms around me, and then she kissed me. once more on the lips.
"Let's have another drink, and we'll go. But no thongs!"
I made another drink and then one for the road.
It took us about ten minutes to walk to the surf shop. Once inside I looked at all of the suits, and I found myself a seat. I was thankful that I had brought a drink for the road. I knew the storeowner for years. Annie used to always shop there.
"Barbara," I said to the shop owner. "...this is my sister Lisa."
Barbara's attitude went from professional to friendly, and then she and my sister became fast friends.
"What size are you Lisa?"
"I'm a 36C."
They started to go through all of the suits and I thumbed through a bikini catalog I found. It was a good catalog, filled with young girls in great suits, even some thongs. I was well entertained when my sister started off for the dressing room with an armful of suits.
After a few minutes, Barbara asked how she was doing.
"I got the first one on, but I don't know?"
"Do you want me to look?" Barbara asked.
"Yes."
Barbara opened the door and went in.
"What do you think?" Lisa asked.
"I don't know?"
"Yeah, right?" Lisa intoned.
"Try the next one on." Lisa said as she exited the room. That started a whole process of my sister trying suits on, and Barbara coming in to give her opinion, bringing suits in and out as she went.
One time while Lisa was trying on yet another suit, Barbara passed me and saw that I was on the thong page of the catalog.
"How are you doing Bill?"
"Good." I answered. Though I knew that's not what she meant.
"We were all very worried about you after Annie passed."
"I know, and I appreciate it, but I'm doing better. Lisa is helping me get out of my shell."
"She's a good sister." She said. Then nodding to the catalog in my lap. "See anything you like?" I then realized that the catalog was still open to the thong section.
"There's some nice suits in here." I blushed.
"Especially the thongs." She quipped. "Let me show you the one I wear." She then kneeled down next to me and started to finger through the pages. I just hoped that she didn't notice the hard on I was trying to hide. I really was horny if a bikini catalog could get me all hot and bothered. She stopped and pointed to a red and white patterned one.
"I bet you look better in it than Her." I flirted.
