Shawna waited anxiously for Jacob to get home from hunting with a friend. While she waited she indulged in a fantasy of her younger brother taking her hunting and ravishing her body in the woods. Then she remembered that she hated the outdoors and hunting. So much for that fantasy.
As Jacob pulled his truck up the driveway she noticed that he had a passenger with him. This must be his friend Chris, she thought to herself.
"Hi sis!" Jacob said with a warm smile. "This is Chris, the guy I told you about yesterday. Chris this is my sister, Shawna."
"Oh hello. It's so nice to meet you Shawna." Chris said as he exited the truck offering his hand. Then he turned to Jacob and scolded, "You never told me she was so beautiful."
Shawna blushed and said, "Jacob never told me how truly masculine his hunting buddy was either."
Jacob just chuckled a little and said. "Well I guess you two are going to hit it off just fine."
Then Shawna noticed antlers sticking up out of the bed of the truck. "Oh my god is that a deer?!" she gasped.
"Come take a look. It's two bucks" Jacob said proudly. "We each got one this morning"
Shawna slowly edged along the side of the truck until she could clearly see the two deer laying in the bed of the truck. Then she saw where the animals were shot and her knees buckled and she was on her way to the ground.
Chris saw that Shawna was about to faint and moved with swift determination and caught her before she hit the ground. He looked at Jacob and said, "I thought you said you hunt every year?"
"I do she hasn't ever been around it though. It's a long story." Jacob said. "We should take her inside and get her some water or something."
Chris picked her up with ease. He carried her in and gently laid her on the couch. Then Jacob brought her a glass of water.
"Shawna?" Jacob said as he patted her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open.
She suddenly jumped up from the couch and ran for the bathroom. The two guys could hear her getting sick. They both just stood there awkwardly for a few moments. Then they shuffled outside.
"Chris maybe we should go to your house to process these deer." Jacob said.
Chris said sarcastically, "Oh gee ya think?"
"I should go say something to Shawna." Jacob said and headed back inside.
"Shawna?" Jacob said through the bathroom door.
"I'm fine Jacob, just a little embarrassed. I guess it was a bit shocking to see them like that. Please tell your friend Chris I'm not really a wimp." Shawna answered back through the door.
"Well we decided to head over to Chris's house to process the deer so you won't have to see it." Jacob said with genuine concern in his voice.
"I'm so sorry Jacob. I just wasn't ready to see that." Shawna said with a quiver in her voice.
Jacob could tell she was really shaken up by it. He could kick himself for being so insensitive to his sister. "No Sis I'm the one who should apologize. I should have known better than to make you look at those deer when I knew you were unaccustomed to the realities of hunting." Jacob said with real sincerity and empathy in his voice.
Shawna felt just awful after the guys left. She wanted to tell Chris how sorry she was for reacting the way she did. She just never saw anything like that before and it was such a shock. She desperately wanted her mom to get home from work.
Carol Ann came through the door and was immediately engulfed in Shawna's arms. Her head was buried in her mother's shoulder and she was sobbing.
"Hey baby! What's all this?" she asked her daughter.
"Oh mother I'm so embarrassed!" Shawna said. "I fainted and got sick when Jacob and Chris showed me their deer!" Still sobbing.
Carol Ann couldn't help but smile a little ,but patted Shawna and told her not to worry too much about it. "These things happen, and your brother knows that some people are more sensitive to that sort of thing than others."
Being a good mother she knew the best thing was to get Shawna thinking about something else. "So what was Chris like?" she asked changing the subject.
"Oh, I guess he was, well very manly." Shawna said. Then she said. "He seems extremely masculine."
"Is he handsome?" Carol Ann asked pointedly.
"Well yes, I guess, but there's something more to him than looks. Something almost animalistic." Shawna said kind of wistfully.
"Well now I'm truly intrigued." Carol Ann said with a hint of something visceral in her voice.
Shawna picked up on this right away. "What do you mean by that mom? Are you thinking of going outside our little arrangement? How do you think Jacob would take it?"
"Oh baby, you can't tell he's growing bored and restless. He may welcome a change of venue himself." Carol Ann said very matter fact.
Shawna knew her mother was right, but that didn't make it any easier. She was truly in love with her brother and never wanted to lose him. The thought of it frightened her and made her sad beyond belief.
Chris was running the grinder while Jacob was cutting the meat up. They were getting their deer processed in record time. Then Jacob saw his mom pull in the driveway with Shawna. Chris just snorted.
"Come on man give her a chance. She just wasn't prepared for it that's all." Jacob said in defense of his sister.
Just then Chris's Mom Vivian came out of the house and said, "Chris you be nice to that pretty young woman." She gave her son a stern look that told him she means it.
"Yes mam." He said obediently.
She smiled and said "That's a good boy." He smiled too.
Jacob wondered about them. Chris was much older than Jacob. He was a retired Army sergeant. Vivian didn't seem that much older than her son. She was extremely beautiful even though she was older than Jacob's mom. They seemed to have an unconventional relationship.
Carol Ann got out of the truck smiling. "A little bird told me my best boy got a big buck today!"
"Oh mom. Don't over do it." Jacob said a little embarrassed.
Too late she was already hugging him tight against her tits. Chris saw this and it made him grin. Jacob turned red.
After introductions all around, the two moms began to chat like old friends. They seemed to understand each other on another level the others were oblivious to.
Shawna was hanging back and being uncharacteristically quiet. She even could have passed for shy. Gone was her usual abundance of confidence.
Chris looked at her and she shivered. There was something about him that shook her to her core. Chris asked politely "Are you ok now?"
She seemed to have lost her voice, so she just nodded and smiled. He had a way of making her feel like a small child. Shawna asked herself, What is with me? Why does he make feel like this?
Jacob could see what was happening to his sister and he had mixed feelings. He loved her with all his heart. He also knew that she loved him but there was more to it than that. For the last two years he and his mother and sister had been lovers. Shawna used to be Sean, his brother.
Jacob knew she returned home after a long absence to win his heart. He also knew she was in love with him because he was a safe bet. Transgender people are at risk if they don't tell potential mates up front of their transformative nature. They can also wind up very alone in a hard and cruel world. So Shawna basically chose to love her brother because she knew he already loved her.
"Earth to Jacob. Come in Jacob. Do you read me Jacob?" Chis was saying while laughing. "Hey man, are you about ready for a pint?"
"Oh, yeah sure. We're almost finished stuffing sausage. I guess we can take a break before we start smoking it." Jacob said.
Vivian came out carrying a tray with two pints of Guinness and a pitcher of pina colada and three glasses. "We'll have drinks all around." She said smiling sweetly.
"You read my mind mom." Chris said warmly.
She set the tray down picked up the two pints and handed them to her son and Jacob. Then she leaned down and kissed her son right on the mouth and it wasn't any motherly peck. She said, "That's because I know my man."
"That you do mom." Chris said without batting an eye. Then he took a big gulp of delicious ice cold beer.
Carol Ann looked at her two lovers and smiled a knowing smile while she sipped her pina colada. Jacob looked at Shawna and thought this could get out of hand quickly.
After a beer and half each the guys left the garage and headed to the back yard to fire up the smoke house. They were going to be cold smoking the sausage they stuffed. So it was going to be a long day.
