We were on the final approach. It had been a long but scenic flight. The views had been awesome. Below were scattered huge checkerboard squares of green, snowcapped peaks, shimmering blue rivers, mirror lakes and jagged crags poking out of shadowy mountains.
Taxiing, the flight attendant announced, "Welcome to Montana. Folks, Montana has more wildlife and fewer people than anywhere else in the continental United States. Enjoy yourstay."
I'm sure she is correct but right now I can't wait to see my people. It's been over a year since I've been with my mother, dad and two sisters. We're all here in the middle of Montana to attend the wedding of my younger sister Kathleen.
I'm an usher. My other sister Carrie is her Maid of Honor. Carrie and I enlisted in the Navy, a year apart, right out of college. The Covid mess has played havoc with our leaves. This is our first real time off in over a year.
Finally in the terminal, I pull my bags off the carousel and head outside. I take a couple of steps and Carrie attacks me. Jumping into my arms, I drop the bags and swing her around, her legs flailing.
"God it's great to see you."
"I know it's been too long. I've really missed you."
Putting her down I look her over.
"Gee, sis you look fantastic, Navy life is obviously agreeing with you."
"Thanks. Hey, we're blocking the door. The car is across the street."
We put my stuff in the trunk. Laughing she again jumps into my arms, rains kisses all over my face.
"Did I tell you I missed you?"
"Yeah, I think I get the message."
Kathy and I were always the family daredevils, Carrie was the shy reserved one. I sense that she has changed.
It's a two-hour drive to Kathleen's fiancΓ©s family ranch. We chat non-stop, catching up on each other's activities. At one point the conversation focuses on dating.
She asks, "So are you dating anyone?"
"No, really haven't had a chance. Seems like we spent the last year in quarantine or on lockdown. How bout you?"
"Not really dating, but I've been seeing someone."
"So, tell me about him."
"It's not a him, it's a her."
I just look at her, say nothing.
"Are you shocked?"
"No, just surprised I didn't know you were a lesbian."
"I think the label is bi, I like men and women. Are you upset?"
"No, actually it's kind of a turn on. Picturing my sister eating pussy."
She laughed, "You're so bad. How bout if you picture both your sisters eating pussy?"
"Katie too? How do you know?"
"We talk."
"So have you and her..."
"No, I haven't even seen her for a while. But I would."
How long have you, uh???"
"Just a few months."
"I just never guessed."
We drive in silence for a while. My head spinning. Soon we move to other topics.
We pull off the road onto a long tree lined driveway. We reach a clearing. She stops the car as we both survey the area. There's a large two story house, many small buildings, equipment sheds with tractors, combines etc. I'm sure there are farm equipment dealers with smaller inventories.
There's what is obviously a horse barn, miles of white pipe fencing and off to the side are two other huge barns. One of which is the scene of frenzied activity. A dozen or so workers scurrying to and from a fleet of 4x4 pickups. Later we learn that is the site of the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception.
Incredulously I say, "Who the hell is she marrying, a Rockefeller?"
She pulls up under the porte-cochere in front of the entrance to the house. It looks like a small replica of the White House. Mom is the first one out to greet us. Followed by Dad and Katie. We exchange hugs and kisses then we are joined by the fiancΓ©'s family. Katie introduced us to her betrothed, Walt. who in turn introduced his parents. Everyone seemed genuinely nice. His mother invited us in. After a quick tour of the magnificent house, we move to the veranda.
There we enjoy iced tea and finger sandwiches as we get to know each other. I really like Walt and his family, they immediately seem like, well, family. Walt's father takes Carrie and I on a short tour of the property. There are bunkhouses, small cottages and a group of motorhomes and RVs off to the side. He explains that the wedding party and some of the guests will be staying overnight. The RVs provide additional accommodations.
Pointing to a white and silver motorhome, he says, "That's the one we reserved for Carrie."
Back on the veranda, Walt's mother says to Carrie, "Are you sure you want to stay in a RV? We can make room here."
With a grin Kathleen says, "I know why she wants to stay there."
Carrie retorts, "Oh, you think you know everything. I've just never even been in an RV. I think it'll be fun."
Turning to me she asks, "What do you think, it's got two beds, you want to share an RV?"
"Sure, if that's what you want. It'll be an adventure."
She adds, "We'll be out of the way, and it'll be quiet. Great for an afternoon nap. I can't remember the last time I had a quiet nap."
I add, "It's got to be better than the bunks I've been sleeping on."
Everyone laughed.
Carrie said, "Now that's settled, let's go take a look."
Kathleen chimed in, "Good idea I'll go with you. I haven't seen it either."
Both girls stood and motioned to me, "C'mon, let's go."
It was a little bigger than I expected. There was a full-size bed up front, a twin size along a pop out wall, a couch and chairs, kitchenette with a bathroom and shower in the back.
With a big grin Kathleen said, "It's certainly cozy. I'm sure It'll serve your purposes."
Carrie glared at her then turned to me and said, "I think it'll be great, don't you?"
"It's fine, good idea about naps. I could use one now. Let's go get our stuff."
Katie said, "Nothing going on this afternoon, cocktails at 6 on the veranda then dinner."
The three of us toted our luggage from the car. Katy left us to unpack.
Everything unpacked, Carrie said, "About that nap, I'm ready how about you?"
"Good idea I've been up since 4am."
She moved to the smaller bed, I said "I'll take that one you can have the big one."
"You're sure?"
"Yeah, you need room for your beauty nap."
We hugged. I sat on the bed and kicked off my shoes, leaned back.
Standing beside her bed she kicked off her sandals, dropped her skirt and pulled her top off. She pulled the covers back and bent over to pick something up. Bare except for a bra strap and bikini panties, I achieved rock hardness. What a great butt. I probably should be ashamed. She slipped under the covers and blew me a kiss.
