***Acknowledgments***

First, I want to thank my beta readers for their time and effort in making this a success. Sinthet, shakna, NWX217, KelliMo, and Lady_Lieren all contributed unselfishly with their time to help me out. The piece you are reading is all the better for their contributions.

***Preface***

I am using actual real locations for the settings in this story. In order to help the reader pronounce the names of these places, and to assist the reader in an effort to make things easier, I have included a quasi glossary/dictionary at the end of the story. For example, the city of Nacogdoches, Texas is pronounced "Nack-uh-doe-chez" and a lot of people just call it "Nack" for short when speaking to someone else familiar with the town.

You can call me hopelessly romantic or call me sappy. I don't mind at all. I have always loved the idea of childhood sweethearts or best friends who fall in love, even if it is a cliché. Songs like "If We Were A Movie" by Jeannie Lurie and Holly Mathis (performed by Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana) and "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift and Liz Rose have always struck a resonant chord with me (pardon the pun).

While I'm not aware of any actual studies on the phenomenon, I do subscribe to the theory that people raised as an only child are probably more prone to fantasize about sibling incest than those who actually had brothers and sisters growing up. Personally, I have an older sister who was born prematurely. She only lived 36 hours before passing away. Without any doubt, it is a huge giant hole in my life than can never be filled by anyone. Even though I never knew her, I dearly love her all the same. I am not an atheist and I believe in life after death. I look forward to meeting her when my days on this earth have been completed.

The merging of these two ideas (romance & incest) was my inspiration for the following yarn. This is, first and foremost, a love story. While it contains scenes that are sexually explicit, it isn't a tale written for masturbation. If you're searching for something to get off to, this one is probably not going to do it for you. To anyone who wants to offer up

constructive

criticism, you are very welcome to do so. However, haters will be totally ignored, and their comments will also be deleted if posted anonymously. If you cannot put your name to a negative comment, then obviously your opinion is irrelevant.

So, this is my first attempt at a serial story on this or any website. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it.

If this story was turned into a movie, all of the sex scenes would have to be revised to make it 'R' rated. It would be impossible to cast the actors and actresses that I would want to play specific roles because their actual ages don't match up to the characters in the story and one actor is also deceased at the time of this writing. That being said in the beginning as a disclaimer, I would cast Robert Urich in his early twenties to play the part of Jason. I would cast a twenty year old Jennifer Connelly (as she appeared in Career Opportunities) to play his sister Jessica. I would cast an eighteen year old Emily VanCamp (As she appeared in Everwood) to play Melanie. And finally, Rebecca would be played by Carol Decker of the musical group T'Pau (see the music video for 'Heart & Soul').

***Chapter One***

Jason Stewart, college junior, sat at his study desk reminiscing about his life up until now. Everything should have been so much easier than this. As a general rule, he didn't care for tragic drama in the stories he read or the movies that he watched. Real life was tragic enough without burying himself even deeper in remorse and despair by having his entertainment be tragic as well. His personal life was rife with upheaval. As a case in point, he thought about his recent break up with Rebecca Broussard. They had dated for nearly two years and had been living together for a little more than eighteen months of that time.

Whenever an argument had erupted between them eventually Jason would become so exasperated that he would blurt out some version of the following various statements: 'Jessie wouldn't have...(made that same decision)(said that to me)(chosen that color)(etcetera, etcetera, etcetera)' which ever would fit the ongoing argument at that moment. It was a phrase thrown out in the heat of the moment and usually used hurtfully with a goal of ending the fight. It had recently happened again during the latest altercation between them. Reaching her own breaking point, Becky had finally had enough. Her retort was, "Well maybe you should be fucking Jessica instead of me since she is so important to you!" Becky had then slammed the front door of their apartment and walked out of his life forever.

Becky made it pretty clear that she never wanted to see Jason again because she sent two of her girl friends to collect her stuff from the apartment. One of the girls named Monica had brought her significant other to help with the heavy lifting. Both of the girls gave him a hug before they departed, the guy offered a handshake. The two young ladies both told him he was a great guy and that some day the right girl would just drop into his lap. They also expressed how much that they would miss his friendship. At the time, the heartfelt words coming from two females that he had no vested interest in really warmed his heart and helped him cope with the breakup. But then reality set in and he realized that once again, and not for the first time, he had trashed a good relationship with a decent girl because of his feelings for his little sister.

During High School, he had awakened to the fact that not only did he love Jessica as a sister, he was also

in love

with her. She was intelligent, vivacious, and totally drop-dead gorgeous. His silly stupid jokes made her giggle with the cutest little tinkle of a laugh. In short, Jessie was his idea of the perfect girlfriend. He could easily have saved his parents a ton of money by attending the University of Houston and commuting from the family home in Satsuma. But after graduating from High School, he knew that he had no choice but to get some distance between himself and the source of his desire. He chose to continue his education at Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches. There were multiple reasons for this, all of which were absolutely true and valid.

The excuse that he gave to his parents was that he absolutely loved the East Texas Piney Woods. That was pretty much common knowledge in the family so the truth there was readily apparent. Everyone knew that his favorite summer vacations revolved around camping at Boykin Springs near Zavalla. To his friends, he gave the same excuse while also adding that SFA had a tilted student ratio with the girls significantly outnumbering the boys. That made it a target rich environment, he explained. But the real reason was that he knew that he had to get away from Jessie to protect her from his illicit love for her. It was a secret that he kept entirely to himself. He frequently thought to himself, 'I'm a totally sick pervert. I'm already a lost cause and beyond help. But I can't afford to screw up her head like mine already is. It's far better to distance myself from her and find another girl to love. I have got to put Jessie out of my mind.' So throughout his High School days, he had dated at least three other girls eventually breaking up with them for some reason or another. It always came back to the person in question lacking some quality that he found appealing in his little sister.

He thought back to those times when they played together as children. He and Jessica actually got along together rather well. Jessica would get out her dolls and ask Jason to play 'House' with her. His role was to play father to the dolls while she played mother. This was when Jason really began to take his role as big brother seriously. He would often praise Jessica on her skills making sure that she felt like she was a good mother to the dolls. Their own mother found it adorable that her two children were bonding so well. One of her favourite photographs was one that she took of the two of them spooning while napping together with Jason's arm wrapped around his sister's middle, the dolls in their toy beds nearby.

But Jason was nothing if not the typical big brother. Jessica was a frequent target for his mischief. He was never malicious when he pranked his sister. For example, one time he moved all of her shoes from the floor of the closet to an upper shelf and took all of her board games from that same shelf and stacked them on the floor. So whenever he teased her, his sister quickly learned to give back just as good as she got. Sometimes they were a rambunctious pair that strained their parents nerves. But they both stuck up for each other and defended each other ferociously from outside forces. Once when two bullies jumped Jason and had him outnumbered, Jessica didn't hesitate for a second. She found a hefty sized stick nearby and immediately jumped into the fray, beating on Jason's attackers with a vengeance. The bullies quickly found out that they had bitten off more than they could chew.

Then just before his tenth birthday, Melanie McLaughlin and her family had moved into the vacant house next door. He was a little upset at first. The widow who had lived there was like a surrogate grandmother to Jessica and Jason. She had lived there with her husband for many many years, but he had passed away before Jason had been born. The Stewarts had bought the house next to her three years before the birth of their oldest child and had immediately become fast friends with Mr. and Mrs. Langston. Mr. Langston died about 18 months later and the Stewarts turned out to be the rock for Mrs. Langston to rest upon while she grieved. She became an extension of the Stewart family even though she also had children and grandchildren of her own that dearly loved her. She visited the hospital on the day that Jason was born. She was also present for Jessica's birth.

Her own passing when Jason was seven was devastating to the whole Stewart family. Not so much for Jessica because she was just four and a half at the time. She was just beginning to understand the concept that everyone's life comes to a close eventually. She missed Mrs. Langston something terrible. But when the McLaughlins moved into the Langston house she didn't feel the same initial resentment that her brother felt. She was excited to learn that the new family moving in only had one child, a daughter who was just a few months older than herself. They would be together in the same grade at school. As could be expected, Jessica and Melanie quickly became hard and fast friends.

Mel and Jessie hung out together so much, that Jason initially felt that his bratty little sister was going to be permanently out of his hair. But that isn't how it actually worked out. Mel, being slightly older than Jessie ending up becoming the Alpha out of the two. Whenever Jessie crossed a line that upset her brother, Mel would immediately call her out on it and keep her in check. With Mel growing up as an only child, she had a different appreciation for the value of siblings. Mel noticed quickly that Jason was very protective of his little sister. So she became a buffer that smoothed over Jessica's rough edges. Although Jason was not yet a teenager, he was astute enough to recognize what was advantageous to him. As a result, he warmed to Melanie and quickly got over his initial resentment. The three of them became practically inseparable, so much so that their four parents started joking about them being the 'Three Musketeers'.

And then puberty struck. Jason started really taking an interest in the opposite gender when the teenage changes began to have an effect on him. Jason had always loved his little sister, in spite of the times when she got under his skin. He had seen his friends bicker with their siblings over insignificant and often stupid things. He actually counted himself lucky that his relationship with Jessie was a hell of a lot better than that, even with their differences. But one day he started to really notice how beautiful his sister was and it shook him to his core. Suddenly, she occupied his every waking thought. Whenever she went somewhere without him, he would worry and fret about her safety, being restless until she was home safe.

The first time that Jessie had given him an innocent hug and he felt an arousal, he almost started a fight with her. The pain and hurt in Jessie's eyes ripped his heart right out of his chest. She was just trying to be a good sister to him, but in his own mind it was his own fault that he was a sick perverted animal. He was not consciously aware that he was already very much in love with her. After that, he managed to get some measure of control over himself and didn't get turned on by simple hugs. But he had to get Jessie to understand that her hugs needed to be kept short and sweet. He gently took her aside one day and tried to reason with her. He tried to explain that now that they were older, other people might get the wrong impression about their affectionate behaviour. He especially didn't want the other kids at school to start rumors and bully her. Mentioning this to Jessie made good sense to her and seemed to get where he was coming from. But at home and in front of Mel, she continued to linger longer with her sisterly affection.

When Mel gave Jason hugs, his body reacted in a similar fashion. But Mel was also a problem because she was Jessie's best friend. That made her off limits and untouchable as well. There wasn't any logical way that they could date or become a couple without upsetting the balance of the relationship enjoyed by the three of them. Jason was never so callous as to totally disassociate himself from the girls, but he did put a little more distance between himself and his fairer friends. Mel happened to mention the change in Jason when she and Jessie had one of their sleepovers. Jessie told Mel that she was well aware of it and that it was a new reality that they would have to accept and deal with. With the three of them having been so close, this new reality really put a strain on their friendship. But Mel hung in there and never let Jason know that she was feeling just as hurt as Jessie felt. Both of the girls had each other to lean on and life progressed onward.

Now that Jessie had entered his thoughts, Jason suddenly realized that he needed to go out and purchase the gift that he had found for her. Jason had decided to visit several different Jewelry stores and stumbled across a trinket that was a perfect gift for his sister. It was a 14 carat gold necklace with a Celtic knot as a pendant. Centered in the middle of the knot was a real emerald. When the light struck the jewel just right, it reminded him of his sister's gorgeous green eyes. It was also her birthstone, so it was an absolutely perfect gift.

Jessica's eighteenth birthday just happened to be falling on a Saturday this year. It conveniently made for a weekend birthday party. The month was May and Jason had already finished taking his finals for this year's courses. Since he now lived in an apartment off campus, he stayed in Nacogdoches year round for the most part. He had only returned to live at home during the summer after his first year at University. Again, his attraction to his sister made things complicated for him during that break. So he decided that he needed to approach his parents about the idea of Off Campus Housing so that he could live year round in Nacogdoches.

He had managed to get a part time job working the line at the A. L. Mangham Jr. Regional Airport. He had also made several friends there, including a certified flight instructor who offered him free flight lessons. He made a deal with his parents that if they would agree to cover his rent, that he would pay all of the rest of his bills such as the electric and internet. The end result was cheaper for his parents than what the dorm had cost them. That made his father very happy, so his parents readily agreed.

Jason quickly completed the requirements to become a certified Private Pilot SEL (single engine land). The FBO (fixed base operator) that he worked for offered to let him rent either a Cessna Skyhawk or Skylane for free as long as he purchased all of the fuel and returned it to the line with full tanks when he was done. He booked the model 182 for the entire weekend of his sister's birthday.

On Saturday morning, Jason made an early departure direct to Weiser Airport, which was just a mile or two from the Stewart residence in Satsuma. The flight was just a little more than an hour and his main gear chirped on the asphalt runway at almost straight up 10:00am local time. He had just finished tying down the airplane and getting his baggage out when his father pulled up in his sedan. Jason set down his bags as his father exited the car. As his dad walked around the door, Jason extended his hand in greeting.

His dad initially grabbed his hand and shook it for a second. Then he exclaimed, "Screw that nonsense!" He then pulled hard on Jason's hand unbalancing him as he grasped him in a huge bear hug. "God, I've missed you, son!"

"Yeah, I've missed you too, Dad." Jason said as he wrapped his arms around his father and returned the affection.

"I'm so proud of you! I took a few flying lessons when I got out of the service, but all I ever did was solo a Piper Cub. Look at you! A fully licensed Pilot! You realize, of course, that before you fly back to Nack that you're going to have to give everyone a lap around the pasture. Especially your little sister. She's never been up in a plane before and she took a great interest in it when she heard about you taking lessons. Speaking of your little sister, she has been on pins and needles ever since you told your mother that you were going to be here for her birthday. It is going to be nice to see her acting like her old self again. She's been in an absolute funk for the past two years because you never come back home anymore. I can tell that she really misses you. Let's get your gear in the car and get you home. Your mom has refused to let any of us change up anything in your old room. It's still exactly the way that you left it."

The short drive down Hempstead Highway and up Jackrabbit Road to their neighborhood was uneventful. Mom was waiting at the front door when they pulled into the driveway and parked. As soon as he opened the door to the car, Dad said, "Go see your mother, I'll get your bags."

As he walked up the sidewalk, Jessica joined her mother at the door, waiting expectantly. Jason's eyes were immediately drawn to his sister's well proportioned 5'7" frame. Her long straight raven black hair accented her emerald green eyes. Her rich red lips framed a perfect smile. Her 'C' cup breasts strained against the blouse that she was wearing. She really should have chosen a shirt at least one size larger because the one she was wearing made her breasts look larger than they actually were. Her eyes were slightly damp and sparkled in the morning sun. She wore no makeup at all, and truth be told, really didn't need any. Her beauty was totally natural. Her smile on her oval face was captivating.
