Thunder and Lightning - Revisited
Authors Note ~
I have taken to heart the comments posted about my second story, Thunder and Lightning. It would seem, I failed to transition the brother/sister relationship favorably, for many of you. As pointed out, paragraphs, if not a whole chapter, were left out, but I can assure you that was not the case. I will admit to rushing, and not properly considering where I was leading you in the story - my apologies to all. With gratitude towards those that are following, I offer this revisit to the story...

Making up
I gave my sister an hour, before going to the bedroom door. Finding it closed, I knocked once - twice, and was just about to try a final time, when she answered.
"What?"
"Can I come in?"
"What for?"
"Thought I'd grab some bedding for the sofa."
Nervously waiting for a reply, I was surprised when the door suddenly opened. I apologized at once, feeling it was only right, and waited for her reaction. It took a moment or two, before she offered a weak smile.
"So, what? You really think I'd kick you out of bed for being a jerk?"
"Yeah, the thought had crossed my mind."
"Huh, maybe you aren't as stupid as I thought. At least you're honest," she said, pushing the door wide open, finally offering a genuine smile.
"I've been scared shitless," she added, before reaching to embrace, and kiss me.
The kiss wasn't what you'd call sisterly. It was more an extension of the kiss shared after breakfast that morning, only my hands weren't gripping her ass cheeks. Slightly embarrassed, I cleared my throat.
"Ah, it's still a little early, would you join me for a nightcap?" I asked, stepping away from my sister.
"Sounds good, being scared I'm still amped up."
Julie hadn't changed from what she'd been wearing earlier. With good intensions, I asked if she wanted to put on the bottom half to her sleep wear, before we went back out to the living room.
"Oh my God, are you embarrassed!? I may not be wearing a bra, Charlie, but I am wearing panties - see," she commented, lifting the satin top.
Her flashing display led me to think her idea of panties and mine were miles apart. Chuckling, I grabbed her hand.
"Come on sexpot, the wine's waiting."
Outside, the storm raged, letting us know it was far from over. Julie's reactions were predictable, but the strength of her hand grip wasn't. Reminding her, once again, about the storm being just light and noise, I finally got her to ease her grip, so I could pour wine.
"Charlie, I'm sorry, too. It was stupid of me to get angry with you," she commented, taking a seat on the sofa.
Handing her the wine glass, I grinned. "Thanks, but don't worry about it. You were so irate that... well, let's just say it was a poor attempt at levity."
Sliding over next to me, Julie drew her legs up and lowered them against my thigh. Irregular quivers went through her body, telling me she was far from relaxed, even though she tried to laugh at my comment.
"Levity, huh? So, look, you asked a question, and I want to answer it... no, Charlie, John and I never had anal sex."
My guilt was natural I suppose, and I swallowed with difficulty.
"Jesus, I feel worse than stupid now," I replied, unable to look at her.
Julie remained silent, lifting the leg against my thigh, up and over, to rest between my legs. Finally, she gently placed her head against my shoulder, sighing out.
"What is it with men wanting to be in woman's ass, anyway?"
I hoped her question was rhetorical, as I chose not to react. Since her arrival, more than a few instances have had some sort of sexual connotation. For a moment, my mind wandered, recalling the suggestion to share the bed; her exposed breast at breakfast; the unresisted kiss; her nipple displaying swimsuit; her change to clothing that again hi-lighted her breasts, and more. Wearing nearly nothing, snuggled against me, was just another instance.
I couldn't help but feel she was sending messages, and some not so subtle, of an inner desire. Lifting my arm, I eased it over her head and around her shoulders.
"Umm, that feels nice. You always make me feel so safe," she whispered out.
Over the years, I came to realize that love will be - well, what love will be, Julie and I needed one another, how else can I explain what happened.
Chapter four -
Incest
Nearing the end of the second week, I walked into the bedroom catching Julie naked, except for the bath towel she held up to her breasts. Averting my eyes, I quickly turned my back to her.
"Christ, I'm sorry Jules. I thought you were still in the bathroom."
My turning did little good, as she was plainly visible in the full-length wall mirror. As God is my witness, I tried not to look - tried and failed. I saw Julie, half-turned, lifting the bedding, as she released her towel to get into bed nude. It was only then that she spoke.
"All right, you can turn around, Charlie."
No, no I couldn't, and I made up an excuse to leave the room. Hyperventilating, nearly in panic mode, I tried catching my breath in the kitchen. In the days after our spat, Julie hadn't abandoned her subtle sexual messaging. If anything, her efforts had increased.
