Part Two
Thanks for the input and responses to "Step-Siblings - with Benefits". It was intended to be a stand-alone piece but many of you requested a follow-up. It took me a long time to get around to writing this, but here it is. As always, this is a work of fiction; any resemblance to real people, living or dead, or to actual events is purely coincidental. All characters involved in any sexual activity are over the age of 18. Military references are fictional and contrived to enhance the story. I hope you enjoy this story. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
So here it is, "Step-Siblings - with Benefits: Part Two" OR "Step-Siblings - and Lovers".
==============
Here is a brief recap of Part One. For the complete story, please see "Step-Siblings - with Benefits".
I returned to visit my father after several years in the military, my absence due to my schooling and military commitments... and avoiding my bratty step-sister who I had never really gotten to know. As it turned out, she had scheduled a stay at home vacation for the same week that I would be home to see my father. When I discovered that I tried to find excuses to be away from the house as much as possible, but things had changed over the last several years and old friends had moved, gotten married, etc., so I was mostly stuck in the house with Katrina, my step-sister.
But she had matured into a very pleasant woman, and a beautiful one at that. We developed a lasting friendship, and more! While work locations seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle to an enduring relationship, we became step-siblings with benefits.
=================
It had been about three months since my visit with my father and family when I was surprised to receive a phone call from my step-sister, Katrina. We had exchanged several emails and texts since we had seen each other, but they were mostly 'how are you doing', 'how's work' and stuff like that, so it was a pleasant surprise for her to call.
After a few preliminaries she said, "I have a three day holiday coming up soon. I was thinking about taking a drive down your way. I haven't explored that area much, and thought maybe you could show me some of the sights." She had caught me completely off guard. I was scheduled to be on duty that weekend!
As I paused, thinking about my options, she continued a little uncertainly, "If it's not a good time, or you have other plans, or...."
I interrupted her, "I would love to have you visit! But I'm scheduled to be on duty that weekend. I was just thinking about how I could make that work."
"I don't want to mess things up for you. It's just that is a time that I could get away, so I was hoping that we could get together...."
"I would really like to get together! Let me think and see about what I can arrange. I might be able to switch some schedules around and call in a few favors. I would probably still have to go in for a few hours, and I would probably still be on call. But those holiday weekends are usually pretty slow so that shouldn't be a big problem. If I could get that together, would that be OK for you?"
There was excitement in her voice as she said, "That sounds great!"
"I will work on that, it may take a day or two to get it arranged. But I would love to see you!
"Assuming that I can arrange the work schedule, I'll get us a hotel room. I live in the BOC."
"BOC? What's that?"
"Sorry, Army talk. Bachelor Officers Quarters are fairly Spartan living space for unaccompanied officers. It's just a single bed, a small desk, a closet, and a tiny bathroom. Not only would the space be uncomfortable for the two of us, it is also against regulations. We will be much more comfortable in a hotel room, maybe one with a king sized bed?"
"Oh, I love the sound of that! Although, I'm sure that we could make a single bed work too!" She said with a laugh.
"I'm sure that my neighbors would be highly entertained!"
"Oh! Maybe a hotel room is a better idea. I'll be happy to pay for my share...."
"No. You are coming to visit me. I will provide the lodging. If you want, you can buy dinner one night."
Reluctantly she said, "OK, if that's the way you want it.... What will I need for clothes?"
"Nothing! I want you to be naked the entire time you are here!"
"I'm sure that would make you very happy! And there will be plenty of time for that!"
"Good! But to answer your question, bring a couple things to wear to dinner. If you want to take a quick tour of the base, bring slacks and a blouse or sweater. The hotel has a couple pools, including an adults only one, so bring a swim suit or two. For other sight-seeing, shorts, jeans, t-shirts, and the like. What do you want to see?"
"Mostly you! Other than that, whatever you think would be most interesting."
"OK. I'll pull a few ideas together and send them to you. You can check them out on the Internet and pick the ones that will interest you the most. The more we talk about this, the more excited I am getting! I'm sure I can arrange coverage for work! I can't wait to see you!"
"Me too! I will drive down after work on Friday, so it will be kind of late until I get there."
"That's OK. After I make the hotel reservations I will send you the info. I will be there before you, so I will text you the room number. That way you can come straight up to the room!"
"Sounds good! I can't wait to see you! Actually, more than just 'see' you!"
"Me too!"
When I got off the phone, I thought about our conversation. While we had been staying in touch a couple times a week since I was home, and flirting a little, I was happily blown away that she had called and said that she wanted to spend several days with me! I had hoped that the beautiful time we had previously spent together could somehow continue but wasn't sure how we could make that happen, and I was thrilled that she seemed to want that too! I decided that I would make a 'grand gesture' in return. I called a hotel that is a little ways from the base and has a good view of the ocean, and reserved the Honeymoon Suite. It has a gas fireplace, a Jacuzzi, there will be flowers and wine and chocolates. And it has a great view of the ocean.
The next day I worked out arrangements for coverage. As I expected, I would need to go in for an hour or two each day, and I would be on call. But I got one of my men (actually a female Lieutenant) to cover, and my Major approved the arrangement. When I texted Katrina with the news that everything was arranged, she texted back a row of heart icons!
We were going to make this work! We texted back and forth every day as we awaited the big weekend. I think that I was more excited than I had been as a teenager getting ready for my first date! It was clear that Katrina was anticipating it just as much.
I packed for the weekend with the expectation that I would not be returning to the BOQ until late Tuesday. I had uniforms for the hours that I would be going on base, clothes for dinners, a swim suit, some shorts, jeans, t-shirts, etc. By the time I was done, it looked like I had packed for a week or maybe two! In fact, I had packed for entire deployments with far less than I had for this one weekend!
I worked late on Friday to have everything possible squared away, then I checked into the hotel after dinner. I texted Katrina with the room number, but I didn't let her know what that room was! I checked to make sure that everything was as I expected and hung my clothes in the closet.
