The codes and signals of affection turned to relics of children. Our nighttime comforting came to an end, becoming an almost forgotten tradition. Our parents were pleased by the strange turn of events, not sure what’d happened, but pleased nonetheless. She indeed turned into a woman, in less time than the other girls I knew. She developed a nice hourglass body as her hips filled out, with large, firm breasts and as desirable as any guy could want when they jiggled or bounced. The rear rounded and firmed, tightening with age until it’s seductive swishing hypnotized most of the guys in school. She had let her wavy hair grow until the long, silky, auburn strands reached her firm behind, and flowed about her angelic face in the most beautiful way. The delicate, heart-shaped face softened in time with a more angelic look, as her eyes grew long lashes to bat at men, to further entice them with her sky blue eyes, and her lips grew more dangerous to look at, becoming full and naturally pouty. The legs that had helped in little league way back when grew longer yet, but now they curved in a way they never did before and held not an ounce of fat in the toned, well shaped length. With her turning into a woman, I’d hoped early on that the stimulus to my erections would go away, but instead the desire for her only became more intense. We kept pretty much out of each other’s way now, even had separate friends as our childhood group fractured as the heart of it separated. It would only make matters worse if we spent more time together than needed. Somehow, though, it felt like she mirrored my own mournful feelings of the loss between us. The two of us began dating and going out to parties and things like that. At sixteen, I got my license and a job at a nearby mall. I’d turned into an average teenager, involved with the baseball team and with schoolwork, in addition to my social activities. For awhile, I did have a steady girlfriend, but when I wouldn’t go all the way with her, she dumped me and started going out with a football player. Funny, it’s supposed to be the girl who doesn’t want to have sex, but something in me wouldn’t do anything. She asked me repeatedly if it was her, and of course, I told her it wasn’t, it was me. Eventually the excuse didn’t hold water, so in that I don’t blame her. A year after she dumped me, she got pregnant and rumor had it her new boyfriend, her fifth or sixth after we broke up, got her knocked up. Still, I wanted that very first time to be special, I just wasn’t sure why it had to be. Sure, I was as horny as any other guy in school, even masturbated to help ease the tension, but when it stood before me, I couldn’t step up to the plate. A lot of girls wanted to go out with me, and after that one steady girlfriend spread around the truth of our breakup, not painting a very good picture for herself in the process, I found even more girls looking at me, definitely hoping I’d asked them out. People called me “the Nice Guy”, the one you could take home to meet the parents, just because of that one little thing. And Rene didn’t slump in the dating. She shot down enough guys who asked her out that she earned her own reputation, “the Gunner”. No, she preferred the nice guys, only once they got her alone, most lost the nice exterior to show a raving horn dog. Her legs remained tightly locked together the entire time and when it seemed she had a steady boyfriend, fate conspired against our parents’ warnings. Something happened one November day that sent our parents out to California. On Wednesday night, my mother’s only sister got into a car accident with her husband and kids, and only my aunt and cousins survived, so mom and dad immediately took emergency leave from their jobs and prepared to fly out on Thursday. As the man of the house, dad told me take care of my sister and watch over the house, they’d let us know when they’d be home, stuff like that. All fine and dandy. It seemed so easy and I figured that by now, Rene and I could deal with each other without any strangeness, so easy. That night, I drove them to the airport in Hartford and then drove home alone. Rene had stayed home on the pretense of preparing for a test the next day, but secretly I knew that as soon as mom and dad left, she’d have Will over to make out. The drive back took forever. Pulling into the driveway, only mom’s car sat near dad’s barn, no company from Will’s red pickup. Maybe she did have a test after all, I thought even as I got out, snow crunching under my foot and made my way from the Explorer to the house, coming in the kitchen door. Everything seemed quiet and I heard the television on in the living room, not up too loud but loud enough that I knew Rene’s location. While I went about the kitchen making something to eat, something told me she had come in behind me, and sure enough, looking over my shoulder, there she stood in the door frame, but holding herself tight and eyes ringed in red with signs of crying. A thought stirred, only taking a moment until a full blown thought, and reaction borne of instinct, took hold. I slammed down the butter knife on the counter in rage, but seeing my sister, the need to comfort her took priority. Without any words, she lurched towards me and I strode to her. Her body went almost limp in my arms. One of her arms swung up under mine and clutched at my back, the other circled my neck, all the while her head dug deep into my heavy coat and chest, sobbing frantically. After I let her cry awhile, I guided her to the table and sat her down, sitting myself in another chair in front of her. It took her awhile before I thought she could talk, and a thought kept me from pushing her into confirming my suspicions. See, from the moment I’d met him, Will seemed too nice, with a sterling reputation better than mine. But guys notice little things about each other and know more than girls do, so we’d like to think. He just always had a bad feel about him, and I warned him more than once if he hurt her, I’d personally hurt him more. Never once would I put it past him to try and rape a girl, and a brother’s still a brother. Even after all that happened between us, I’d kept protecting her in secret. Finally, she could talk through the sobs, so I looked at her with a stern expression, locking my eyes on her. I’d learned that doing that would get more from a woman, like the eyes of a woman held the depths of her soul. But when she spoke, she tried to look away, and almost immediately I felt I knew what she wanted to say, all without a single look or word from her. “Will didn’t do that, Rick.” Her strained voice bore further shame and for the life of me, I couldn’t understand why. “He... He tried to get me to do that, but when I didn’t, he said he couldn’t take it anymore and tried to, but I hit him, then kicked him, and kept hitting him and kicking him and he tried to force me down and fuck me still. Then I... Then I smashed grandma’s vase over his head and threw him out.” I took her hand, drawing a look puzzling look from her. Maybe if I’d been thinking more clearly, I’d have seen the warning sign, but as incensed as I was, no part of my brain could see it. “He still tried, and I’m gonna see that he pays for it. No one does that to you, no one!” But her other hand touched my chest gently to try and calm me down and her eyes pleaded with me to let her speak. “Please, God, no. I-I-I don’t want you to confront him or anything.” “And why the hell not?!” I shouted in fury, with no clue why she didn’t let me go after him, after what he’d done to her. I could even see the rips in her skirt and missing buttons on her pink blouse. “Give me one good reason, Rene, because what he did wasn’t just wrong, it’s GODDAMN ILLEGAL!” Before I could stop her, she placed her hand on my cheek, her other hand holding mine tight, despite the trembling. “Because, if you go, I’m afraid of what he’ll tell you.” As quickly as she said that, her head dipped and averted my eyes. Still riding the raging emotion, I just stared blankly at her through slitted eyes, all hot and blood running to every muscle and boiling hotter than I’d thought possible. “What could he possibly tell me you didn’t tell me already? He tried to rape you! And you’re just going to let him get away with it, no punishment?” “Rick,” she whispered, almost too low to catch, and almost to the point it didn’t even come out, instead nearly catching in her throat. She pulled her hands away and took off for the stairs. I followed, now wanting to know just what did transpire so I could use it against Will when I kicked the crap out of him. Mounting the stairs, an image of using my brand new bat on his head, seeing him in more pain than he’d caused her. But when I found her bedroom door locked, I went into my room, eyes falling on the new bat on the bed as I walked into the closet. Finding the hidden switch, the secret door opened and I stepped into her closet and bedroom. She sat on her bed, rocking herself back and forth. When she saw me step out, she sighed mournfully, and again I felt the old, familiar connection between us, the unsaid feeling of our loss. “I’m not going to leave you here, if that’s what you’re afraid of,” I comforted. “Now, will you tell me just exactly what you’re afraid to tell me?” Looking back on things now, I wonder still at what happened next that night. She moved faster than I could react, rushing into me and letting loose a passionate kiss I’d never thought to get from her. When she broke the kiss, leaving me standing completely in shock, she turned her back on me and whispered, “Because he figured out he couldn’t be you.” Still in shock, and with part of me wanting to be repulsed by her admittance despite not being feeling at all, I just took a step back, then another, until finally I just fell on the floor and sat there with a million and one thoughts going through me. “Bu-but you don’t, you can’t. And then there’s what mom and dad-” “I know, I know,” she whispered, more to herself than her brother. “You think I haven’t tried to stop it, haven’t tried to repress this, this evil desire? Oh, God, on some level, I‘ve always wanted you and wouldn‘t let another boy have me because he just wasn‘t you. I‘ve always wanted you, Rick, and we can‘t because incest is a sin.” Something welled up inside and brought me to my senses and my feet in short order. Stepping up behind her, I put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. “You’re not the only one feeling that way. Since that last night, when we knew we couldn’t be with each other, I’ve tried to push down my need for you with everything I had. And for awhile, I thought I did a pretty good job...” Something lodged, the final words of the sentence, but with some doing I forced them out, but barely enough for her to catch them, “Until now.” With a slow start, she turned on me, taking the hand from her shoulder and holding it in both of hers. It took awhile before she could bring herself to look at me but eventually her eyes met mine, an emotion in them I’d not seen in her before but knew immediately without effort: desire. Ever so gradually, our lips locked together, unsure of each other at first, but slowly our kiss took on more passionate undertones, our mouths opening to each other and tongues mingling while dancing from mouth to mouth. Arms wrapped around my chest, her fingers clutching the heavy coat I still wore. With her closeness to me, her lips locked with mine, I realized it was now useless to fight the forbidden desire inside, and plunged myself headlong into what strange road lay ahead of us both. First, the coat fell to the floor as she pushed it away. My eager hands, wanting to know my sister’s body now more fully, pulled open the now buttonless blouse, exposing the white lace bra filled with my sister’s perfectly formed, firm flesh. She didn’t fight me, instead letting the blouse slide from her shoulders and to the floor behind her. But at that moment, something had taken hold and the fires long cooled erupted into an unheard of blaze of passion in each of them. I took her body in my arms and pressed it to mine, too caught up in the blaze to care about how wrong it was. It might have only made the blaze more intense, as we let ourselves go with the surging mutual desire to have each other. Soon, my unbuttoned shirt joined the other clothes, but it didn’t end there. Guided by her own hands, I slipped her skirt off, briefly touching the lacy panties she wore before grabbing her hips. As our furious and needy mouths continued kissing, I could feel her hands between us, unbuttoning my pants. With a firm, almost experienced, motion, my pants sagged down to my knees and with a little push from one of her feet, I stepped out of my shoes and my pants. The leg entwined around mine, our bodies now fully pressed against me. Now, I felt her trembling under me, but not from fear or panic, but from the simple desires we’d long denied ourselves. Reaching between us, I pulled at the bra, feeling the clasp release immediately. At least I’d done that enough times with other girls to know what to do now. Feeling it give, she let it fall on the floor before resuming our embrace, unwilling to break it now as much as I didn’t want to. Within that long kiss, I felt her smile when her tits mashed up against my bare chest, and she only pressed harder into me, driving tingling sensations all over my skin. By this point, my cock had not only stiffened, but I’d swear it grew three times its size, poking into my sister’s navel. She didn’t care at the moment, too involved with my hot tongue, and I with her tongue at the moment. Eventually, it stood to reason that we’d end up either on her floor or her bed, and after the night she had, the bed was best. I picked her up, her legs wrapping around my waist, and as I stepped closer to her bed, I walked more from memory since parts of me still had other things to take care of, most especially my mouth and everything inside it. As carefully as I could, and feeling very loving at the moment, though not sure why, I laid her down on the bed, only now releasing our lips from the kiss. She tried not to let me go, but when I stood up again, there was a distinctive whimper, silenced only when I looked at her, a secret message from me to her that things were far from over between us. With that, she stretched out, relaxing herself. There before me lay my sister and suddenly it hit with the force of a thousand boulders that we’d already engaged in something we shouldn’t have and were more than willing to go to the point of no return. While I cleared the bed of all her stuffed animals, I wondered if I should tell her my concerns now. It needed to be said and I felt she needed to decide if she really wanted to continue this or stop now before it was too late. In my parent’s voices, I heard the impassioned cry, “If you two do this, you’ll go to hell,” but now those voices sounded so far away. Every other part of me, however unimportant to this particular moment, knew it wanted this more than anything and was willing to suffer the consequences later. The concerns wrestled inside me until she finally grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit next to her almost nude body. The smile didn’t carry a hint of lust at the moment, instead one of loving concern. “What’s wrong, Rick? Tell me, please, it looks important.” Looking at her and putting on my concerned smile, I said softly, “Are you absolutely, positively sure you want to go all the way through with this?” She looked at me in disbelief, the smile fading away. “Before you get the idea I don’t want this, you’re wrong. And while I have the feeling you want to go all the way now, finish this act, I just want to know, need to know, if you really are willing to accept the consequences of what we do?” Her smile returned and she pat my hand in reassurance. “We were once closer than any other two people could be, even a husband and wife, but because we denied then these wants and needs, it hurt us in other ways. I dunno, maybe someone mixed things up and when we each should’ve gone to different mothers, we went into the same mother. Or, maybe it’s not as wrong as everyone says. Why, in ancient Egypt, brothers and sisters married all the time, so who says it’s wrong?” “But, there’ll be consequences. You could get pregnant, for one. That’s a major one, because dad’ll flip and demand to know who the baby’s father is. Could you possibly say it was any boy you’ve dated?” When she giggled, I took notice. “Silly, I know my schedule and it’s more regular than any girl or woman I know. I get my period on schedule without fail, at the time I predict.” “Ok. What about mom and dad, what if they catch us together or somehow find out? What then?” “Easy. We just have to be careful. Remember when they put us in separate rooms, we still snuck into each other’s rooms at night.” The memory of that time brought back the night that forced us to spend the nights from then until this moment alone. A somber mood suddenly replaced the concern but she continued on. “Rick, I want to do this, and damn the consequences. Will’s attack wasn’t what made me cry, it was what he said. Once he left it dawned on me that he was right. I cried for over an hour before you got home, just lying there. You don’t know how many times over the last few years I’ve wanted to be in your arms and holding you and have you holding me. I wanted then to have you comfort me like back then so badly.” A loving smile spread my lips as I stroked her hair. “We were so close once and we threw it away. Can we make up for lost time now?” “If we can’t now, then we’ll have plenty of time ahead of us. Because if we do this, I won’t want to ever stop.” Her hand snaked behind my head and pulled me into her kiss, and I only showed token resistance, only wanting to play with her. Our lips met, something happened, something different. Instead of passionate and furious kissing, we kissed like lovers, only wanting to let it continue. Our lips lightly touching each other and sliding slowly over one another, it felt tender and betrayed our hearts to each other, if we didn’t already know what we wanted. So, I laid down next to her without ending that soft kissing, moving over her and propping up on an elbow. My free hand stroked her cheek and my thumb traced her jaw, but before long it wanted to go exploring and slid gently down. After feeling up so many girls, I’d learned one secret to turning them on, lightly, almost barely, letting my fingertips, and only my fingertips, glide over her skin, all the way down her soft skin, sending a thousand tingling sensual sensations throughout her body. They reached her panties and slid underneath the thin material, giving me what surely would be new information, because instead of a nice bush, I discovered only baby smooth skin all the way down. She moaned into my mouth so softly, I only loved her more for it. Up until now, our eyes remained closed long into the kiss, but I opened mine and she opened hers and the sparks between us turned to bolts of electricity. God, how it felt to have her against my body, quivering with anticipated bliss, and guiding my hand now to her secret treasure that once I glimpsed in our innocence. Now, though, my hand actually touched her wet slit, and it was wetter than any of the girls I’d fondled before. Using that juice from her waiting pussy, my fingers started long and slow circles over her lips, one finger deviating from the rest and sliding through her slit, up and down. Her next moan was louder than the first, and I felt her hand let go of mine and she hugged herself to me, even as my hand and fingers worked her willing mound. Before long, in the way I knew, she started moaning more and more, until finally it all came to an end with her clenching at me through her orgasm, and still we kissed tenderly, just enjoying each other. A Forbidden Love Ch. 01 Once she caught her breathe, I felt her pulling my boxers off my waist, pushing them as best she could. It took some wiggling from me, but eventually we managed between us. Her panties took less work but it was all worth it when I lay there, my hand now free to explore. Her lips parted from mine and she looked at me shaking her head. She pulled me up on her, spreading her legs apart and lifting her knees, providing me with better access to her sweet pussy, already glistening from her climax. I knew her intention and without question I positioned my eager cock at the opening to her hole, swirling it around the outside several times. Searching for the shaft, she positioned it for penetration, then wrapping her legs around my waist tight, slowly pushed me into her. Her face tightened, and from the tight, unwilling walls, I could guess it didn’t feel so good, not yet. What I felt around the tip inside her was indescribable, really tight and wet, delight and bliss and surrender all in one. To go deeper, I’d have to surrender more of my resistance to this, but to someone already feeling it around him like I felt my twin, no man wouldn’t surrender himself. And, slowly, I dove a little deeper into her pussy, moving achingly slow towards her womb. Once she grew used to it and the virgin pussy’s walls relaxed and contracted enough, I’d move a little deeper inside. In only a few small thrusts, it became apparent she wanted it faster, even though I didn’t want to risk hurting my beloved sister. I looked at her, the unspoken words in our eyes, but the returned look held my answer. With a quick thrust, I plunged my cock into my dear sister, driving home into her womb, driving a sudden surge of pain through her. Her virgin tightness gave the only resistance, Rene’s hymen long ago snapped from years of gymnastics. Instead of trying to push me out of her, she clutched me and pulled me into her, holding on while the pain subsided. Odd, but her tight walls clutched at my invading cock, trying to keep it in her, perhaps even drive it further in. The pain in her body slowly let go and she began to feel more comfortable again, giving me the silent look to satisfy her eager insides. Even as I began to pump her, gently thrusting in and thrusting out, we began kissing softly again, not in such a rush to complete the task but only wanting it to last forever. We knew only each other as the world faded and all the words against our unnatural coupling ceased to exist. It took awhile, how long I never knew, but when I felt her body stiffen under me, I braced myself, then felt what could only be the warmest feeling I’d ever feel wash over my cock as it plunged, setting off my own climax. She remained quiet, letting only a soft and long moan sound between us. Before her climax passed, though, she felt the first spurts of my seed strike deep in her womb, followed by more spurts as sperm released into her body. Perhaps the feeling of being in a woman for the first time or the fact the woman was the subject of me deepest desires, my own sister, but I came more in her tender body than I ever came jacking off. Her muscles clenched at the shaft and milked me, trying as desperately as possible to get all my sperm from me and into her womb. Spent, I rolled off her and drew her into my arms, letting her head rest on my shoulder as her body cuddled up to mine. We kissed with the love each of us felt and knew we’d just done something very special with each other we could never do with anyone else after. Not only had it been the first time we’d been together, it was our first time, and now we’d given our virginity to each other, cementing our love for one another. As her fingers traced little circles over my chest or her lips laid soft kisses on my skin, I just lay there watching her as if I’d just met my future wife. She looked up into my eyes and smiled softly. “Penny for you thoughts?” “What to say?” I began, then grinned. “It was incredible, you’re incredible. Suddenly I know why I wanted to wait instead of taking all those willing girls. We just started taking the first steps towards rebuilding what we had, now taking it where it should have gone already.” “I know, it’s great. It feels like we’re one again, like when we were kids and always knew what we were both thinking and feeling. It makes me sad, though, knowing this can’t last forever.” She drooped her head until her little chin rested on my chest, looking depressed and on the verge of tears. “Why can’t it be forever?” What could I tell her, what answer would help her now? None came to mind and I lay there thinking, letting a silence fall. Our special bond renewed, she did the same, but her thoughts in turmoil and the sobering realization left new tears slowly streaking down her beautiful features. When my arms wrapped her up and drew her into my embrace, it dawned on me that I wasn’t trying to comfort her as a brother but as a lover. I so wanted to make her feel better, know that whatever we wanted we could have. The tears abated and I felt her breath on my chest, then an idea went between us, fully thought out. Our eyes locked again, sending electricity through our bodies. “It might not last forever, but at least we can try to be together.” She looked at me, giving me a sweet smile. My lips returned her smile, and I continued. “We’ll have to be real careful when mom and dad are home, but we can get privacy easily enough on the farm. We know how to hide this from everyone and we can always feel each other, so we’ll always be together. It might work, it just might work.” “And what about after dating and stuff? And Will’s gonna spread it around school, you know that. And what about when we go off to college, what’ll we do about it then?” “First, we’ll both continue dating, token dates, so people won’t talk too much. As for Will, he’s still gonna go to jail for what he tried tonight. I’m not gonna let him get away with that, and who’d believe a rapist? As for college, that’s easy. We go to the same school and get a place together from there.” It all seemed so thought out then. She rewarded me for my thoughts with a long kiss, and did I enjoy it, letting our tongues entwine with not a care for the outside world. Finally, a grumbling caught us unawares, my stomach growling from the lack of food. She giggled as my face twisted into a frown. She got out of bed and helped me up into her waiting arms, and my own arms encircled her thin frame as we started giving little kisses to each other. It took awhile just for us to let go long enough to clean up things a little, but before we left her bedroom, deciding to leave ourselves in the buff, I pulled the folded quilt from her bed and draped it over her shoulders, wrapping her in it. The look made her sweeter as she held it in place with a soft smile and let me cover her without question. I’d gotten used to the cold now creeping through the house, but still the need filled me to protect her from it. We made our way downstairs to the kitchen and I resumed fixing myself some sandwiches. I fixed one more now and pulled a couple sodas from the fridge, then walked to the table, where she sat despite her desire to stay closer to me. We ate in quiet, and I didn’t realize just how hungry I was until the first sandwich vanished in moments. The second took more time and we touched each other throughout, either a thigh or hand or cheek, anything to make up for lost time. After the little dinner, we retired back upstairs but to my room. Outside, the first flakes of an early November snow storm started dropping past the window. Secretly I hoped it snowed enough to cancel school tomorrow. She stood in front of me looking out the window, my arms holding her close as we just shared the same hope. When finally we laid out on the bed, her body exposed to me, a sudden desire overtook me and my body responded, cock stiffening in only a few seconds. Without kissing, I was determined to see every inch of her and she only too happy to oblige, lifted her leg up and apart, revealing the sensitive mound between her glorious thighs. My fingers glided down her firm flat stomach and to her waiting slit, probing the folds to find her engorged clit. She bit her lower lip as little nerves screamed in delight, my fingers pinching her hard clit and pulled on it. My tongue went down to continue the task to dance over her little button, making this sinful night more complete somehow. She moaned, her hips started snaking sensuously back and forth on the bed, all the while my slick tongue did circles around her cunt. It all felt so good, and again the wrongness of the moment fled before fiery desire. Rene never stopped me, encouraging me on with her moans and little yelps when I found some new pleasure zone, arousing her only more just with a touch. By the time she came, both sets of her sweet lips glistened already. From her pussy’s canal, a white liquid seeped out, only coating her already wet pussy further, even as my sister bit her lip to keep her mouth closed, strangling the cry that threatened to burst forth. As her tender region settled again, twitching every few seconds, my hands and tongue started on her creamy white thighs, caressing each one with massaging fingers and laving tongue. The moans began in earnest while I cradled her own leg, bringing her to ecstasy ever more slow than the last, the hand running through my hair assuring me she didn’t want me stopping anytime soon. With one leg done, I started on the other, tenderly laying small kisses over her skin, always on her erogenous zones, rewarded each time with a soft moan. I sucked on each of her toes, moving my mouth up and down in soft but slow movements. My tongue licked up the sole, causing her toes to curl in reflex, as I heard her giggle and moan together. “Rick, please, I need you up here,” Rene softly cried in a plaintive voice filled with need. Her fingers kneaded the pliant tits, pinching her nipples hard. “Please.” Not wanting to disappoint, only tease, I did move up her, laying kisses here and there while her lovely blue eyes watched in impatient wanting, until, after tracing such a long path from foot to leg to stomach, I reached her first breast. My hands slid under hers and for a moment, we just held each other’s hands, clasping them together. The breasts demanded my attention, my hands eager to explore these young tits, circling a finger around each dark areola to draw a moan from Rene. Her lips parted to draw in a sharp breath when I sucked one nipple into my hungry mouth, before long nibbling on the hard pink thing for a time. I suckled like a baby, trying to draw warm milk from the tit with all my life, only she clutched my head to her bosom moaning beneath me. My mouth wanted her other tit, moving to the other to do what the first sweet tit had undergone. It had to end, and our lips wanted each other more. I spent some time nuzzling on the neck for a few moments. Our lips locked in a furious need, our tongues turning from the leisurely dance of the lovelorn to a wrestling of two people in heat. Our bodies felt the heat, intense need to fulfill each other again grabbing our control, moving us into position again. The penetration came with a hard thrust into Rene, her moaning softly in our kiss, me groaning in response. Our hips held still a moment while the full sensation of my cock buried in her womb drove home to our brains. Something in me took enough control of a hand, diving between us to her aroused clit. Then my hips pulled away from her, my fingers taking control of her clit while I thrust back in hard. Whether it was my hand or my thrust, I felt her begin to stiffen then tremble, her head tossing side to side. It proved too much for her to hold back, my thrusts running along every nerve in her canal, my hand teasing her clit further. She let out a strangled cry first, then cried out, “Oh, Rick! Oh. Oooh. Oooooooh! Do it! Please, love, do it again!” Rene’s eyes drew wide for a moment in the first cry then closed tight against the others, her body lurching up. It took all I had to stay in her, once or twice my hand losing its object of affection in the bucking. My hips thrust for I don’t know how long, hers matching mine in perfect rhythm, you could set music to the swaying of our two bodies coming together. Sounds of wet slurping, flesh slapping together, went ignored by us, now only seeing each others faces while we did this act. No turning back, we knew, but somehow, in the magic of the moment, it became freedom for us, not a desire to even think about it. Her eyes looked into my soul. My eyes looked into her soul. Whether we both deep down truly liked the idea of this incestuous act, we knew it would be, it’d been fated. After a lot of thrusting, with the help of my clit teasing, she came again, stronger from the feel of her contracting walls and the nails clawing at my chest. The cries Rene emitted as her body lurched, bucked, writhed, gave me no small amount of pleasure, almost making me let go in her. It took all I had to keep from laying my seed in her right then. Now nearly exhausted, she lay back, letting her body roll with each wave of ecstasy her body experienced, waiting for that final one when we’d both cum together as one. My hands picked up the pace, pinching her clit, rubbing it furiously. An urgency pushed my hips into her faster. Soon enough, I felt a pressure building in my balls, the tell tale sign of impending climax. I wanted to hold on to orgasm with her, time them together. By the looks of Rene then, I could see she would cum soon herself, letting loose soft moans that held in her voice, her body already tensing in expectation, her hands clinging to the quilt beneath us. We didn’t wait long, our bodies letting loose at the same time. I felt warm sperm race through my engorged penis and fly free into her womb, while she pulled her hands free to pull me on top of her, holding me closer. My teasing hand released as I spurt into her, my hips still thrusting to drive each spurt deep inside as warm cum washed over my cock, produced by her contracting pussy. It milked my cock for every ounce of sperm, even while my cock still continued releasing the seed into it. Her eyes drew shut instantly, but her mouth refused to let it go silent. “Yes! Oh, God, yes! Give me your hot cum, lover! Give it all to me!” “There, love, you got it, it’s shooting into you!” I cried back, closing my eyes as I threw my head back. “Take it! Take it all!” Her legs wrapped around my waist like a vise, holding my hips against hers. As the last spurt dribbled out of my cock, she looked up at me intently. “I love you, Rick,” Rene said so softly I almost missed it with the cloud covering my brain even if it didn‘t register at first. Once I’d finished and out bodies relaxed, I dropped by her side. I felt Rene looking at me, only then did that haze clear away in instant realization of what she said. Something told me she meant it, not as a sister, but as a lover. Things were getting complicated now. It should’ve scared me, but my own soul echoed her sentiment. If I’d had energy at the moment, I’d shown her a smile or even kissed her tenderly, instead all I could do was say, “I love you, Rene,” as soft as she said it. From her soft smile, Rene felt I meant it. She laid down with me, but almost as soon as her head touched my chest, it came up as an idea struck her. She climbed on me, laying on my chest. “I want us to sleep tonight in mom and dad’s room, like husband and wife. Please, Rick, please sleep with me like we were married.” I couldn’t deny her right now, but my body could. When I took awhile just sitting up, she helped me get to my feet. Once blood started to flow right, our arms snaked around each other’s waist, walking towards our parents’ vacant bed. We both lay down exhausted, holding each other. I’d lain on my side, facing the window to watch the snow, Rene with her back against me. The cold air made us huddle under the heavy quilts and blankets on our parents’ bed. All the night’s events, all we’d engaged in, ran through my mind for a minute before I heard her delicate voice in the darkness. “Rick?” I sighed a “yes”, answering her. “Do you ever think about getting married and having kids?” “From time to time. But it’s far in the future right now. At least until after college, maybe a few years after, when I’m settled in a job and find the right woman. You?” “I think about it, but probably more than you. But I’m worried now, after tonight, that it’s you I want to marry.” The words hit some part of my brain, but instead of my parents crying out to end this before it went further, I simply kissed her neck. “If we could do that, legally, I really wouldn’t mind right now. Having you as a wife, having kids with you, it’d be so perfect.” Without needing to look, I could feel the sad smile on her lips. “But, we can’t, not legally. Not ever. There’s our parents, and our friends, and hell, the entire world who would stop us. Probably lock me away in prison for ‘molesting’ you. The therapy would probably drive us both mad.” She turned to face me, letting me see her. I could see she really liked the idea of our being together, but it mixed with cold, hard reality, producing that sadness from earlier. “Couldn’t we find some way. Maybe it wouldn’t be legal, but couldn’t we do something? Maybe if we ran away somewhere, maybe another country after we graduate. We could take on different names and get married and live together like husband and wife.” “Then we would be husband and wife, in the eyes of the law. But it means things, leaving everything we know, leaving our family and friends. Would you want to do it? Would it be that worthwhile?” The question was as much for her as me, silence filling the room as each of us thought. It could possibly work, if we went to the right country, but what would happen if we got caught would leave us forever separated physically. At that moment, as I swear today, I’d sooner die than part from her. From her, I felt the same turmoil, and the same final decision, death more preferable than further separation. Finally, Rene broke the silence. “If it’s the only way we can be together, yes. I want it all, I want to bear our child into this world as your wife, not as your sister.” Her words didn’t have the effect they’d been having, not anymore. “Then we’ll be careful, make sure you don’t get pregnant until then. We’ve got another year of high school still, so we’ll work everything out between now and then, when we have the time.” “Then it’s settled,” she whispered with a smile shining with her love. We drew together for a tender kiss, too exhausted for anything else, before Rene turned back around to watch the window. Neither of us could fight sleep for long, but while we did, our thoughts were only on each other. A Forbidden Love Ch. 02 Chapter 2: Lovers Found The next morning dawned and we found the storm had deposited at least a foot of snow on the ground. I tuned our parents’ clock radio to a station and listened for the cancellation announcements while Rene continued to sleep. During the night, we’d ended up facing each other, curled up next to each other. While I listened, I stroked her silky hair, tussled from sleep and our lovemaking the night before. She looked so much more beautiful in the morning sunshine streaming through the window, I couldn’t help think how I’d ever resisted her before. When I heard the announcement on the radio that school was closed, I nearly yelped in excitement, not because it meant we could spend three blissful days together alone now, more because it meant I just didn’t have to get dressed and go to school to be bored. No kid knocks an opportunity to skip school, in the winter praying each night for snow just so they don’t have to go the next day. Now, I had extra incentive, the fact not lost on me. My hand found the radio’s off switch. I laid a gentle kiss on her lips as she slept, then stood up to go to the bathroom. Feeling the bed shift, she moaned in her sleep, hand searching for me. When it didn’t find me, she stirred, opening her eyes to look at me putting on dad’s robe. “Where are you going?” “Just to the bathroom,” I answered as I tied the robe. “Snow day today, so you don’t have to get up yet. We still have to go out, though. Mom left some money for groceries and there’s still Will to deal with.” At breakfast we talked about all the things we’d done and all the things we wanted to do. The torment of last night had faded, of what we’d engaged in, replaced by the affection of two people in love. There were so many things we wanted to do to each other, having just discovered the joys and delights of sex. Our parents hadn’t exactly kept their own affections hidden, only more subdued than in the bedroom. Compared to our friends’ parents, they were practically porn stars. The sex talks over the years had been always followed by a genuine, “Feel free to come and talk to us.” They didn’t try to scare us, except about incest, but they made sure we knew the consequences. Dad advised me to buy condoms, but it was mom who bought me my first ones at 13. The rule in the house was, if you engaged in sex, at least be careful enough not to catch any diseases or get a girl pregnant. They even kept the rules with their little girl, even though Rene didn’t have much interest in it, she told me, at least not until the night before. After breakfast, I went out to clear the driveway. Fortunately, dad had it paved years ago and he bought a snowblower for just this time of the year, so it took no time at all. We both made a list of the things we wanted, figured out what we’d do in town while we were there, all before getting into dad’s SUV. The roads into town hadn’t finished being plowed by the time we started off, only enough room for two cars to pass each other if they went real slow. Once in town, it was off to the police station, where Rene made her statement and all the usual police things. When she got to the part where Will began saying certain things, she didn’t lie to them, only lying about what caused me to find her sobbing. I stood there with her throughout the entire ordeal, even holding the skirt and shirt he’d ripped while trying to attack her. It only then appeared to me, handing them over to an officer, that her skirt had a spot of dried semen on it, a large one. It only burned my blood more but I resolved to let it go. Later, I found it rather funny, since the implications would leave him with a much different reputation once I was through. Once the police let us leave, at around noon, we decided to find a place to eat. After a quick lunch at the town McDonald’s, we moved on to shopping, breezing through. Anyone seeing us would have caught the looks we had in our eyes by then, the nearness of our lover without the ability to do anything out of the ordinary for siblings. Codes and signals we’d developed years ago, things fallen into disuse, now became our only way of communicating our feelings in public. Of course, we modified it, having grown some years older. Shopping still flew by with sexual tension between us mounting. Nothing could move fast enough for us, and it seemed the eyes of every man were on my sister, despite her eyes very much carefully avoiding me. It sent me a thrill knowing every guy in here wanted her, knowing I’d had her first, knowing I might be the only one to ever have her. Soon enough we were driving home, copping feels of each other. Once we were in the country just outside the town proper, we even managed a very long kiss at a stop sign before driving on. The ride home certainly felt a bit different, with the needs in both of us defying the rules we’d set against public attention, though we assured no one could see us. Reaching the house, a red pickup drew us from our reverie. The tall, muscular Will stood in the driveway as we came in and parked by the barn. I told Rene to keep her door locked, deciding to confront the attacker myself. “About damn time you got home,” Will said as he came up, smiling stupidly. “Think I can have a moment alone with her?” I just looked him up and down, then stared him straight in the face so he could see the burning rage. “Go home, Will. You think I’d dare leave you alone with her after last night?” The goofy look on his face turned to anger as he grabbed my arm. It’s cliche, but I looked at the hand holding my arm and then at him, shooting him a warning in my expression. He ignored it, of course. “Look, this doesn’t have a damned thing to do with you. If you don’t want to me to beat your ass, boy, you’ll let me talk to her.” “Well, since you put it like that...” He never saw it coming, my hand forming a fist and connecting squarely with his chest in a blink of an eye. The other fist connected with his face, just to under the side of his jaw as I hoped, sending him down to the ground. Will’s bigger than me physically, but you don’t take martial arts for years and not learn a few things in the process. I stood above him as he held his wounded face. “Get out of here before I call the police. You’re in enough trouble as it is.” It took him a few minutes to get off the icy blacktop, but he managed to make it and stand up in front of me, puffing out his chest. By this point, Rene came running up behind me. It was reflex that I used an arm to keep her behind me, but I felt her gripping my hand tight, the very gesture caught by the one person neither of us feared right now. “So, it’s true! I was only kidding last night, but you really do have the hots for your brother,” he stated in stark clarity. “God, this is sick, just fucking sick!” “Get out of here, Will, you don’t know a goddamn thing!” Rene screamed, her hands gripping mine more tightly now. “It’s not at all what you think it is!” I turned my head to look at her, seeing a fear in those lovely eyes. Not fear of discovery but fear for a lover’s safety. The blow caught me off guard as I fell to the ground with my attacker standing above me. He landed a good solid kick while I was still stunned, but when he bent over to grab me, Rene sent him a kick into his side, knocking him to his back. She kneeled down to me, examining the bruise on my face. Her hands felt so warm on my skin, then the look in my eyes exchanged with hers. Lips laid a kiss before she could stop herself in full view of Will, who gawked at the proof of his accusations. “Gawd, the school’s gonna love this one! It’ll go around and ruin you both!” He got up as we watched him, walking to his truck. “Wonder if this is something the police would like to know about.” He climbed into his truck as we got up. The truck started up and sped off down the driveway, spinning out on the road before finding a grip and shooting away. “Rick, are you ok?” My sister just stood in front of me with all the concern I’d ever seen, like I’d been shot in the back of the head and would only live a few more minutes. “I’m fine, just shocked really.” My hand rubbed the bruised cheek, thinking in the back of my mind just how weak the punch had really been. I wish I could say the same about the kick but he’d wound up on that one, putting his all into it. He’d gotten my thigh, making it feel worse than it being broken, a feeling I’d known recently enough it stuck in my mind then. I limped to the Explorer and opened the trunk. “C’mon, we need to get this stuff in.” With grocery bags in her arms, Rene didn’t try to hide her concern watching me, but she did see to putting away the food. With the car unloaded and food put away, I felt it time to see to my leg, a sentiment she echoed and led me to the living room. Our coats came off before she undid my pants, pulling them down to better see the black and blue welt on my leg. She did her best to make the pain go away, even holding ice on it. “This is why I didn’t want you going after him. I didn’t want you getting hurt.” She gave me a little kiss as she held the ice. “Promise me you won’t do that again, love, please.” A sigh escaped my lips. “I can take hi-” “Promise.” Rene held my gaze, a look I knew from seeing mom give it to me. “Alright, I promise. But, what if he comes after me? He might, you know, considering what he’s going to go through.” The thought was one she hadn’t considered before. “I just don’t want you getting hurt. It tore me up seeing him hurt you today.” Her eyes showed indecision. “If, if he comes after you, defend yourself, but if you get hurt, I’ll never forgive you.” A chuckle escaped me, hurting her a little, but I pulled her to me. I gave her a reassuring kiss, melting her resolve as she melted mine. “Fine, if I get hurt, I give you permission not to forgive me.” It elapsed into a lot of kissing as we made out, but with my leg hurting as much as it did, we couldn’t do more without feeling like my leg had an elephant step on it. The ringing of the phone snapped us out of our make-out session. Picking it up, I almost dropped the phone on my mother, shocked as I was. The conversation started with how things were with the family, how long they thought my aunt would be in the hospital, how she was doing, the family stuff. Then mom said she’d already booked a flight for next Sunday night, telling me to pick her and dad up, making me write down all the flight information. When she got to how things were at home, I looked at Rene with a wicked smile while keeping my voice steady. Rene grabbed the phone from me in a devious move, distracting me by rubbing my hard-on before I could prevent her from grabbing the phone. I heard the unsteadiness in her voice before she told our mother about what Will had done. When she’d finished, I could hear my father’s voice telling her to put me back on. I reassured him I’d taken her to the police station and filed a report, my father giving his approval. I mentioned the scuffle in the driveway, he just told me I’d done the right thing protecting her, though I did casually forget some of the racier details. I assured him it was all taken care of, that he and mom needed to be out there for our aunt. The attempted rape of their daughter was enough to have them on the first flight back, but they figured since I’d handle things enough already, she’d be safe with me. After all the time had passed since we were kids, how our relationship had changed, they felt nothing could possibly happen between us. After the call, the place I worked called, asking me to work that night. Seeing the look of disappointment on my lover’s face, I threw them an excuse, telling my boss I had to stay home for family reasons. Since I knew him pretty well and told him when I’d called out on Thursday about my family situation, it confused him. I mentioned that Will had assaulted her and thought he might come back tonight. He understood perfectly, telling me to stay home and protect her. He told me I had to work tomorrow but to just call in if it still seemed a bad idea to leave her alone. We sat there together with the television on but more interested in ourselves. Rene did her best to keep off my leg, eventually having me lay down on my side with her laying down on her side facing me. Our lips just enjoyed the caress of another set of lips, both of us wanting more despite my wounded leg. Soon enough, she fell asleep in my arms, lying there up against me. It only took a short time, then I entered sleep. * * * * * We awoke to the sound of a banging, starting from the sound. But looking around quickly, we discovered it came from the movie playing on the TV. My leg felt a thousand times better by this point, still a little tender but not as bad as before. Thinking about what each of us wanted, I walked out of the house to the barn. Dad kept a stash of porn tapes and magazines out there in a box, carefully tucked away from his kids’ eyes. I’d caught mom and dad watching them sometimes, when they thought I’d gone to bed, so I knew who he hid them from. The house was mom’s sanctuary and the barn was dad’s, but here they could hide things a bit better, though not good enough. I found the box easily, searching through for a few select tapes, then made my way back to the house. Sitting on the couch and watching the tape, Rene looked at me puzzled by the tapes in my hands. It took only a moment to select one, a tape entitled, “The Art of Sex”. I’d seen it before, briefly, wanting to perform some of the positions on the tape with a girl. With all that already passed between us, it seemed like it couldn’t hurt things. With the tape in, I quickly undressed, giving her the same idea. Seeing her naked body again in all its glory held no less enticement in the light of day, sitting together naked with each other, Rene snuggled with my arm around her. She smiled at me upon seeing the title screen, giving me a desirable kiss as a reward, one most eagerly returned. The tape played entirely through while we watched, talking between us about the techniques. We loved the foreplay, giving us new avenues to take our love making. The other ideas, anal sex, oral sex, even different sexual positions, all wanted testing out by us both. We’d agreed by the time the tape ended to try everything once, only repeating those things we enjoyed. I turned off the tape and TV as Rene slowly parted my legs. First, we figured we’d try the oral sex. My cock stood at attention with her naked form touching mine and now it begged for relief. As the tape demonstrated, she got down on her knees between my legs, her lips poised to swallow me up. She started with a kiss of the head, tasting for the first time the clear liquid drooling from the little hole. She licked her lips, then my cock nearly exploded as it slid into her mouth. Feeling my shaft going into her mouth, pushing back into her throat, I’d never imagined it’d feel so good. Her head started bobbing up and down like she’d done it before, only her lack of sucking the real fault. With our openness, I made the suggestion, feeling an immediate change as she implemented the direction. Between a down stroke, she’d take a few seconds to lick on the head, drawing deep throated groans with her attentions. Her tongue might occasionally lick the shaft with long, slow movements along the length. Her free hand went to fondling my sack, squeezing enough to get a nice reaction from me but knowing from our bond not to squeeze more. She even sucked my balls into her mouth as the hand gripping the shaft slid up and down. With so much, I eventually let out a deep throated groan. “Love, I’m going to cum. Geez, you’re gonna make me cum real quick.” She smiled, taking my shaft in both hands. Feeling my own sister gripping my shaft sent me to climax as the pressure in my balls started pushing its way to my cock. Her mouth sucked the head, the spurt in her mouth surprising her at first. With each new ejaculation, though, she grew more comfortable with it, still sucking on that head like a popsicle. I just let it happen even as every nerve sent the sensations of the moment flooding to my brain. Spent, I just waited for my thoughts to clear while she sat down on my lap, careful of the tender spot on my leg. Lips gracing mine awoke my clouded thoughts to the woman in my lap, her tongue awakening my libido again. I met her tongue with mine, the field of battle, our mouths. It turned into quite a contest, albeit a slow one, more tender than passionate. Our open mouths sucked on each other. My arms wrapped her up as her hands massaged the muscles of my chest. Between our bodies, sticking up like a flagpole, my cock bobbed, still too sensitive for more attention. The kiss ended when we came up for air. “You were terrific,” I told her softly, brushing some stray hairs from her beautiful face. “I’d never felt anything like that. Did you like it, love?” “The taste surprised me but in a good way. And I’m happy to satisfy you, baby.” Her hand wandered down, grabbing my tender penis. The sensation made me jump under her, as my hand moved hers off. “What’s wrong?” I gave her a reassuring smile. “It’s still too sensitive right now, but give it time, it’ll be ready again soon.” Grinning mischievously, I turned the tables on her, putting her into a sitting position, moving to my knees between her legs as I parted them. She knew my intention, parting her legs further, relaxing fully before I even touched her hungering slit. A glistening layer of delicious juice covered her cunt lips, showing her arousal, inviting me in. My tongue wanted to taste, diving into her mound with relish to gently lick away the glistening layer. How I loved it, giving my tongue the freedom to roam over her. I pulled my head away, letting my fingers go to work exploring her sensitive mound. Using the information garnered from last night’s exploration, she soon started moaning with my attentions, fingers gently massaging the most sensitive erogenous points with more practice. He face contorted under tingling pleasure, her moans becoming more intense. It took only a matter of minutes for her to climax, muscles contracting in the throes of pleasure, little cries mixed with whimpering. She went a little wild, one hand running up her neck, her other gripping the cushion, her body writhing sensuously before my eyes. With her relaxed again, I moved from merely rubbing the same areas to exploring for newer ones, perhaps even more sensitive. I touched here, I touched there, all the while watching Rene’s face for signs I’d found a new spot. The exploring had an effect on my lover, soon letting me know most of her expressions of pleasure and pain. I studied her features each time, interested in finding those little zones as just learning as much as I could about her. I found some other points, some more sensitive, some less, but the result was the same, bringing her to a stunning orgasm. Her body let go completely of its inhibitions with each cry filling the house. All I could do was stare in amazement at her, smiling as a man seeing his lover get off because of him. Once the climax ran its course, Rene sitting, panting hard, I moved my tongue in, wanting to eat her pussy now, make her cum more than she’d had yet today. First, my tongue started just above her tightly puckered, pink asshole, licking up, sliding into the slit as deep as it could go. Striking her clit sent a bolt of lightning through her, almost making me lose contact when her hips bounced. I stayed with her, though, soon sucking her clit between my lips, nibbling on the aroused organ despite her plaintive whimpering. I felt Rene’s hands holding me to her crotch, letting me know not to stop. Before too long, I had her squirming again on the couch, moans giving an indication of her coming orgasm. I kept at it, pushing my tongue into her wet canal, sending her closer to cumming in my mouth. One of her hands released the grip on my head as I started to thrust my stiff tongue in her pussy and pull it out, the free hand now gripping, rubbing her own head. Her eyes now fluttered, only slightly open, her breathing now heavy and mixed with moans and whimpers. When she could say anything intelligible, it was words of encouragement, guiding me onward. A Forbidden Love Ch. 02 The hand holding my head suddenly tightened, taking a handful of hair. Her body stopped for a moment, the calm before the orgasmic storm. In only a moment, her hips bucked, sending my tongue farther into her, only causing her to buck more. Sweet cum rolled out of that pussy, greeted by an eager tongue, only to be sucked out now by my even more eager mouth. But her entire body rose up off the couch, her cry quite clear despite her lack of control. “Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh, Rick, my brother! My lover!” The rest became incomprehensible, drowned by the mix of moans as the waves subsided. She lay there panting while I finished cleaning her beautifully pink pussy with my tongue. Once I’d finished, I sat down beside her, letting her lay against me. Her face bore the most tired expression imaginable but she managed a loving smile. “You can sleep if you want, my love, I’ll hold you,” I told her, drawing her into my embrace. It was nearly five when we’d finished. Feeling Rene in my arms, I laid her down as I lay down, her back against my chest. She did fall asleep for awhile, judging by the way her breathing slowed and her body released itself. Soon, I fell asleep with her, drifting off into lazy slumber. A Forbidden Love Ch. 03 Chapter 3: Intrusion Something pressed against my lips, starting me in panic as my eyes flew open, revealing my naked sister laying on me, smiling softly as I calmed down. Feeling safe again, I put my arms around her, returning her loving gesture. “I’m glad you’re awake, sweety. I didn’t want to start without you.” Rene’s words puzzled me for a second, until I realized where my cock was. Somehow, without waking me, she’d put it up into herself until it filled her sheath. It just sat in the warmest, moistest spot it could hope for, while I had slept. The urge to start pumping up into her quickly gave way to her desires. While she started gently rocking on my cock, her walls now well accustomed to it stretching them apart, we kissed passionately, holding ourselves together as we made love to each other. Rene controlled the speed, keeping it slow while we just basked in our togetherness. How could I deny her now, making love to the one person I most desired. We kept up the steady, slow pace for a long time, not caring about how long it took. When we both finally reached our peak, in sync, we both rode it out without breaking our lips’ contact. Her gush of warm cum flooded over me as I let loose my streams of sperm into her. When it all finished, we just lay there kissing each other all over, looking at each other, even touching our lover’s face with a soft and tender touch. Looking at her and examining her, she positively glowed now, all from discovering each other. We exchanged confessions of love, kissed, exchanged more affectionate words, kissed again. How we’d denied this love was beyond us both, but we’d become determined to hold onto it. In time, we got up to make dinner. Mom was a great cook and she’d taken the time to teach Rene all she knew over four years time. She began dinner while I helped in what ways I could, brushing our nude skin against each other every chance we got. Once dinner sat on the table, we sat side by side, fondling each other or feeding the other between the kisses. We laughed, we talked, we touched. Afterwards, we cleaned up the kitchen, doing the dishes, wiping the counter. Neither of us heard the door in the living room open. I’d been heading into the living room when I saw a soft-faced, honey-blonde girl appear through it. The name of my sister froze on her lips, her dark eyes staring at me in delighted shock. Rene and Elisa had been friends since we all were very young, and she’d mentioned more than a few times her interest in me. I even took her out after my last steady girlfriend dumped me, though I made no moves on her. Some part of me liked her enough. If things had been different between Rene and me, I’d have probably hooked up with her on that date, maybe even married her. Things weren’t so simple, but she was still a beauty, with a slim, petite body, a pair of C-cup breasts perfectly formed, and a small, tight ass that begged to be grasped and pinched. She came into the house, closing the door behind her, even as I stood in full naked glory. I could see the lust in her eyes. Elisa definitely wanted me, even while my naked lover was in the kitchen. I called out to Rene, who froze next to me. There the three of us stood, this girl looking at us both. The moment didn’t pass easily, in fact became more complicated when my sister stepped behind me and instincts made me put my arms up to shield her. Rene held one hand, her other arm wrapping around my waist. We waited for some sign of revulsion, of disgust from Elisa, but instead she just dropped her coat on the couch before coming to stand in front of me. “Somehow, I always knew,” she said with a smile. “The two of you did look so good together, so happy.” Rene’s voice trembled terribly and cracked more than once. “You-you don’t find this sick?” The girl simply shrugged. “Love is love. Besides, there’s things you don’t know going on.” She put a hand to my chest while her other hand took Rene’s, pulling her from behind me. “You’re not the only one who’s been with her brother.” Listening, I almost choked on my own tongue. But Rene seemed to understand the meaning. “You mean, Jeff and you? But how and when?” Rene guided me over to the couch and pushed me onto it, sitting with my arms around her, leaning back against me while Elisa sat in dad’s recliner. “I never told you the name of the guy who took my cherry, because I didn’t think you’d approve. God, I wanted to so bad, too, but I just couldn’t. One night, after I my fifteenth birthday, Jeff and I were home alone without a single date. Our parents had gone to New Haven for the night and we just kinda got into some heated things. Now, I don’t love him any more than a very close brother, but still, he’s really good and I don’t look down on you two. All of us knew, that’s why when we played, we didn’t fight you two being married all the time.” “But, didn’t your parents tell you about incest and stuff?” asked Rene. “Of course. I don’t mind fucking Jeff still, he’s a wonderful lover, but I don’t want to marry him or anything. I certainly don’t want to have a kid with him, but sex is great and we’re both there for each other.” The girl gave us a wink. “Besides, something about it, about how our parents and everyone else wouldn’t approve of it, it makes it somehow better. More exciting.” The idea did come to us during our little talks, but for the most part we knew it was love that kept us wanting more. I had a question on my mind, but uncertainty almost stopped it from exiting my mouth. “You said all of the old gang knew? Do they- They don’t still think that?” I swore she almost died laughing then and there, in the chair, confusing Rene and me. “Silly! Of course they do! Hell, none of us care. They even know about me and Jeff, and it’s not like you two. Besides, we’re not the only ones having family affairs.” Stunned silence followed as Rene looked at me, my eyes looking into hers. We smiled at each other, knowing at least we could tell our friends. Our best friends in the world knew even when we didn’t suspect. Elisa continued, telling both of us much more, finally finishing thirty minutes later with our mouths open. It took a little longer to get our brains to wrap around the whole idea, but we did. “So, how long you two been doing the nasty?” Elisa blurted out, quite smug with herself. Rene leaned to the chair, playfully slapping Elisa’s leg. “That’s not how we look at it.” No way to deny that one, so I just smiled, squeezing her a moment. That got a response, a nice, long kiss. Looking only at me, nose just tickling the tip of mine, she finished, “We prefer making love. As for how long, it’s none of your damn business!” Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Elisa’s look, the one something-so-incredibly-cute-its-sickening look. “Ok, if you two are going to keep doing this, just cool it around me.” “Aw, poor baby, we making you sick?” I quipped, giving a short chuckle as us lovers turned back to facing our guest. It felt like we were a married couple talking to a guest in our own house. “Shut up, Ricky,” stated Elisa in mock jealousy. “You two are gonna be unbearable now.” Rene turned to me, giving me a look I couldn’t help but be fascinated by. She had some game in mind, one she knew I’d like. She stood up and walked up to our friend. Elisa watched with some interest, giving up her hands to my sister standing in front of her. Rene pulled Elisa up from the chair, beginning to swing her hips and twist her body in a sensuous, seductive dance. Together the two girls slid the heavy coat off, then started dancing together, putting on a show for me. I couldn’t at the moment think of anything so hot, my naked sister moving up against another hot woman, granted clothed. The two swayed their bodies in ways only caught late at night on cable, moving with a rhythm in their minds. Slowly Elisa’s sweater came up over her head, showing no inhibitions as her bra appeared, cupping two breasts only slightly larger than Rene’s. Next, as they moved, Rene managed to work Elisa out of her shoes, even while working the button on her jeans, sliding the zipper down. When the pants hit the floor, my eyes beheld a pink pair of silky thong panties up high on her hips to form a V. If nothing else about the scene had gotten me aroused, that there would have. It did make my stiff member bob, drawing blood into it from other parts of my body. Both girls began rubbing up against each other. Rene undid the bra from behind, sliding it off before throwing it into my lap. They looked lost to each other, but I knew otherwise. The night I’d taken Elisa out, her parents and brother had gone out of state. Elisa invited me in. Before long, she’d gotten undressed before me to encourage me. Since I’d already seen her, she held nothing back, not that she’d been shy the first time, boldly removing her clothes. Being best friends, I knew Rene knew about it all. Pulling out of my thoughts, I found Rene before me, looking all aglow standing there. It didn’t take long to figure out what she wanted, even as Elisa looked on. Elisa sat beside me, one hand on my lover’s hip, another taking hold of my hand. The two of us, though, only saw each other now, wanted only each other. She kneeled above my lap, legs spread as her hand guided the tip of my cock to her waiting pussy. It felt so good to have Rene ready again, craving more of me as I desired her. Her leg muscles relaxed, impaling herself on me with a soft moan. Holding my lover’s hips as she started to lift herself upwards, Elisa’s mouth clamped on one of the firm tits hanging before me. Seeing another person sucking on Rene did make some jealous feelings arise, but watching a girl sucking on the girl on my cock awoke stronger hormones. While Elisa suckled my sister, Rene and I saw only each other, slowly moving towards our individual orgasms with every movement of her hips. We didn’t try to draw each other closer, letting just the sexual heat flow through the crotch instead. Our mouths said, “I love you,” in silence, our hands holding with fingers entwined. It kept up for awhile, Elisa getting her fill of first Rene, then me. She kissed my chest, licking everywhere. I imagined Rene in her place, though, despite seeing her just rocking in my lap. But mere chests didn’t satisfy her, moving instead to kiss Rene, turning me on even more. From the reaction in my sister, it had the same effect on her. I felt Elisa’s wanting tongue next, driving into me like a spear, not giving into any resistance. She knew what she wanted, she wanted her reactions returned. I did return the kiss, feeling Rene growing a little jealous inside. There’d be a talk later, I knew, but one that needed to be done. When Elisa moved behind Rene, she repeated the affirmation in silence, only making me smile and return the silently mouthed affection. She pulled my hands to her stomach, letting my fingers feel her desire of the moment. The slow pace continued, all the while, until the time we released, cradled her flat stomach, her hands on mine. Elisa played with my sister’s body, even sucked and played with my balls, only turning me on more, turning on Rene too, but also giving more ammunition to the jealous feelings in her heart. Elisa decided to help herself out with her sexual frustrations, sitting on the couch watching us, her legs spread wide to pull her pussy’s lips apart. It gave us a view as she rubbed her angry clit, trying to ease its tension. While she played with herself, Rene and I continued our love making until she drooped. I felt the feeling rising up in my sack, moving to my cock with every stroke. Her head lifted up with a moan, her head tossing back while I groaned from the impending orgasm. Before another heart beat passed, we both felt cum from each other, mine shooting up into the womb of my lover, hers flowing around me, bathing my cock. While we climaxed together, we heard the frantic moans of Elisa getting herself off. With our bodies spent momentarily, Rene leaned against me, letting me kiss her for the first time. I exchanged loving words with her before Elisa, feeling left out, moved to us. She looked gorgeous, but compared to Rene, she couldn’t hold a candle to my lover. She panted from her own orgasm, admiring Rene’s body and mine. The three of us just sat there for a long time, watching TV and talking. What happened, Elisa mentioned, went beyond mere sex, like Rene said. Rene and I held each other the rest of Elisa’s visit, until her brother showed up to get her. As Elisa walked to the door, already dressed and ready before the honk broke the calm of night, Rene asked if she’d come back tomorrow night, even spend the night, bringing a wide grin to Elisa’s face, only puzzling me. Once Elisa left, the two of us were alone again. It was late by then, so we prepared to go upstairs together. Doors locked and lights off, we went up the stairs hand in hand, moving again to our parents’ room. The night’s events still weighed on us both, so as Rene settled up against me, the TV on but with little volume, I let out a sigh, knowing one of us needed to get this over with. “Rene?” She answered me with a “hmm?” I’d hoped for more of a response. “Tonight, maybe its just me, but I thought you might have gotten a little, I dunno, jealous.” Turning to face me, I could see I’d struck my mark. As kids, I always knew when she was angry or sad or whatever, even when no one else did. “And what do I have to be jealous of?” Venom practically dripped in her words. “Of another girl you could be with without the complications and consequences of being with me?” I shook my head at her, managing a warm smile. “If I’d wanted her, it wouldn’t be you here in this bed with me.” It really didn’t comfort her, though, her irrational fear getting the better. “Look, for a moment, I felt jealous too, watching you two dancing. It looked like you preferred her to me.” “Oh, Rick,” she whispered. “I only wanted to tease you. But she wants you, and she’s got better chance, considering. She’s not your sister, she’s not even related to you. That’s a big deal.” “Like I said, if I’d wanted her, I’d be with her. If I wanted anyone else, I wouldn’t have turned down every girl, including Elisa. Damn, on our only date, she was willing to let me have her completely. That’s gotta mean something, that I turned down not one, not even two, but a number of sure-things. We both know now all we’ve ever wanted is each other. We’ve done things everyone says brothers and sisters aren’t supposed to do, yet I at least don’t feel any remorse about it, not one bit.” It took her a moment to think before she could say anything. “It’s just that, you’ve never been with another girl before. Someone said that sometimes, guys and girls will sometimes become very attached to their first. You know, the feelings that they experience during the first time.” “This isn’t that. We both wanted it, and we felt it when we were twelve, even if we didn’t really know it back then. Can you deny this doesn’t feel right?” “Well, no, I can’t. But I’m having second thoughts. If we do date other people, we’ll both get jealous and it could tear us apart. I don’t want that, but if we don’t, mom and dad will get suspicious.” “There’s not much we can do, we just have to set some ground rules. What’s mom always saying about relationships, you have to trust someone before you can love them? Regardless of who you choose to ‘date’, I know you’ll never go any further than friends with them.” As I spoke, Rene listened intently to my words, trying to let them sink in, hoping they’d quell her doubts. “I promise with all my love, nothing will happen between me and the girls I go out with.” Her face moved closer to mine as she took my face in her hands, striking me with the deepest kiss imaginable. When she pulled away, leaving me in a pleasant shock, she wore a weak smile. “I know in my heart, but how can I tell that to my brain? You’ve been very loving with me, always making sure I’m happy, even satisfying me in wonderful ways. Hell, none of the girls in school who are having sex have a lover willing to wait to cum before satisfying her. A part of me actually likes knowing I have what they most want, a lover who pays attention to my needs. But it’s not enough to silence the fears-” “That you’re not good enough for me, right?” She nodded in affirmation. “You know all the guys in school wanted you, even if you didn’t even give most of them the time of day. Those you did date, most of them really wanted to get between your legs. Now you gave something very special to me, but that guy part of me is bursting with pride, knowing I was the one that got it, that I’ve not only had sex with you, but that you actually want me as much as I want you.” The smile strengthened. “Dear brother, what you got from me was something I wanted you to have. I wanted you to be my first. Being your first only made it much better. It’s something I cherish, and hope you cherish too.” “How couldn’t I? It’s something you can only give to one person, and you gave it to me.” Our lips started drawing towards each other, magnetically attracted. “It means more to me than any other...” My voice trailed off, our lips’ embrace taking precedence. Neither of us wanted to stop, but pulling away, Rene looked at me with a puppy look, love in her eyes. Underneath, she still felt some uncertainty. “Look, I know you’re attracted to other girls, I’m not that naive. To be honest, I’ve sorta had some more than friendly thoughts about Elisa. Sex is sex, I know, and its great and amazing, but its just that I don’t want to hear you say you love someone else. I don’t think I could take it, not from you.” Understanding a woman’s fears, it can take a little while to figure out how to respond. Most guys lie to women at times like this, preferring to comfort them than tell them the truth, worried about where their next piece of ass is gonna come from. But mom once told me, when you’re in love, really, deeply in love, you’ll tell that person anything. Dad was listening in at the time and chimed in, agreeing with my mother. The two of them certainly were in love still, always would be. I never thought much about it, never thought someone could love another person that much to be so deeply honest. I did at that moment, though, staring into my lover’s eyes. I wanted to comfort her but something in me wanted to be completely truthful. It took a few seconds to actually think of what to say, though. When it came out, it felt like I was laying bare my soul and preparing to have it twisted and ripped apart. “Rene, I love you. Certain things keep coming back, things people have said about it over the years. I’m not going to lie here and tell you something to comfort you, tell you I know what the future has in store for us. I only know, right now, I love you more than I think I could love anyone. Does that mean that a year from now, someone won’t come along and steal my heart? Or your heart, for that matter. But we’ve shared something incredibly special these past two days, will always be together a way no man or woman could understand or destroy. Mom and dad tried and they tried harder than anyone else ever will, yet they failed. Our lying here, it’s proof of that.” Tears welled up in those wonderfully blue eyes, even as she smiled softly. “This here, what we are now, I wish it could last forever. And I wasn’t kidding last night, about a family. But you’re right, no one knows the future, so it’s silly to daydream about something that might not happen.” I plucked one of her tears away as it rolled down her cheek, wanting to say something to stop her tears, but she put a finger to my mouth, barely touching my skin. “I love you, Rick. But if someone comes along and takes our hearts away, I’ll still always love you.” A Forbidden Love Ch. 03 My lips kissed her finger before I said anything. “Daydream all you like, baby. If we still love only each other in a year, in two years, in ten years even, then those daydreams will be the foundation of our life together. We’ll make our dreams become reality. Let’s hope for it now, and maybe we’ll get it all the way we want.” The words struck her heart, bringing a new set of tears, displaying her happy thoughts. “Then, what do we do about Elisa? She’s going to come on to you now more than ever.” “It doesn’t sit well with you, so I’ll just avoid her advances as I did before.” Smiling more broadly, she shook her head, a few of the tears wiped away with her hand as she did. “No. We didn’t talk about this before she came, but I feel better about it now. Before she came over, I’d been thinking about what it would be like to have another girl join us. She’s more than willing, and I know you still have some interest in her, enough to at least consider staring at her body. Watching her kissing you did get me envious but I felt myself getting more turned on. It took all my willpower to keep from just going hard at it.” “The two of you dancing did definitely have an effect on me,” I whispered. “But are you sure about this? I mean, this may change things, and not the way we’d like.” It took her a moment, but she nodded in time. “Yes. She’s gonna spend the night tomorrow. I’d like some time alone with her before we do anything, so you go to work like a good husband and let me get her into this.” The very idea of Rene’s task being difficult made me laugh out loud. Elisa was so hot-to-trot, she’d jump on it. As for whether she’d have interest in my sister, that I wasn’t so sure about. While Rene and I had eaten dinner earlier that night, I’d found out she really was a virgin when we’d first made love, but she did have an eye for girls, something more than just passing interest. This now would be her first time with a girl, if I wasn’t home before she started. Whether Elisa was or not, that I wasn’t as sure of. I wouldn’t put it past her. “Okay, wife, I’ll go to the store tomorrow night and work. Before then, though, I want to enjoy every part of you!” She looked at my grinning face, giggling. “Well, now, if you really want me that badly, who am I to say no?” Before she could say another word, I found her lips and hushed her with my tongue, feeling her melt into my arms. We found ourselves very quickly in the heat of passion, tongues furiously flicking back and forth. Her hands ran over my chest as she moved onto of me, straddling my lap. Finding her plump tits quickly, my hands cupped each one, thumbs helping to arouse those pert nipples, feeling them grow under their touch. I sucked one of her nipples hard into my mouth, feeling the purr as her erect nipple came into contact with my lips. While I sucked, she waited, reaching behind her, finding my stiff shaft. I felt a surge of hormones from her grip when she clasped my hardness, causing me to shudder under her. She rocked slowly on me, hand working my shaft in a slow rhythm as I sucked on her tits with the eagerness of a baby seeking sustenance. We both loved what the other was doing, continuing on all the while. Then I felt the need to taste of her sweet lips again, while hands slid down her sultry form and to her tight ass. I felt her ass in each palm, instinctively squeezing, bringing a look of smiling delight to her, even as I heard that, “Oof!” from her at my grasp. Oh, how could I not do it again, only this time she fell down on me, holding her head maybe an inch from mine. We smiled, we kissed, we tongued each other. She wiggled her body against me, her mashed breasts tickling my chest. She reached behind her again, taking my cock in hand while her hips moved towards it purposefully. I felt a low groan rumbling in my throat as the head slipped into her little hole, wet and waiting. She smiled with a glint in her eyes, then I felt her muscles contract around the head, tightening while trying to suck all of me up into her. Ecstasy flooded over my senses, but Rene smiled mischievously, contracting then relaxing her pussy around my head. How long she kept it up, I couldn’t guess, but she slowly started rocking on just the head, letting it fall almost completely out before pushing it right back in. Pleasure mixed with agonizing anticipation as she kept teasing my head. As inexperienced as we were during our first night, together we were learning more about each other, mentally and physically. She used her knowledge of my body to engage strong sensations, ones I couldn’t control without serious concentration. Right now, she kept me on the edge, ready to drop one second, pulling me over the next. I couldn’t stand much more, groaning as I was. Her soft, throaty moans, highlighted by the way she started sucking on one of her index fingers in a girlish way, only made it more difficult to hold back. Somehow, I managed long enough to grab a hold of her waist, thrusting her body around my cock. That soft face hovering so near mine tightened before I heard the moan, just taking its time to roll out from deep within her lungs. I gave her a wry, half-smile as I lifted her hips up, then pushed her hard back down. My cock’s head brushed against the inside of the womb, the one womb I most wanted to bear my seed. Once Rene got a little more accustomed to the ecstatic tingling of her body, she began to move her hips with my help, throwing herself into the sexual heat we generated together. My cock slid along her walls fast, thrusting into her harder and harder with each thrust. Bracing herself on my chest, Rene began to ride me hard, shoving down with all her sexual energy, bouncing like a girl on a horse. I held onto her hips, giving what aid I could. Minutes later, that warm cum flowed down the sheath, drenching the tool in her with every drop. She moaned and thrashed her hips about during the orgasm, holding her head. It was a hard climax, her continuing to ride my shaft like a bronco, her pussy contracting tightly. Then it was my turn, and in the middle of her orgasm, the sperm started to fly into her, warming her inner womb while I groaned. Our cries of ecstasy mixed in the heat of the moment, her climax taking longer with the feeling of warm cum from her lover in her stomach. It took us awhile to stop panting, just holding each other for the longest time. Once we had caught ourselves, we kissed and told each how much we loved each other. We watched a little late night TV before we fell asleep together. A Forbidden Love Ch. 04 Chapter 4: A Happy Portent of the Future The next day, we woke up, made love. Ate, made love again. Watched some TV, made love a third time. Basking in the newfound love, we were like two married people on their honeymoon, caring little about the outside world. When the phone rang, we answered it. When we needed to take care of bathroom needs, we took care of them. How much we wanted each other let us block out the world at large. We didn’t really explore new positions that morning or that afternoon, deciding instead to just get more experienced in the sex we’d engaged in already. It took practice to get better, something we wanted to be very good just to please each other, and we put our all into this. But, five o’clock came around really fast. I had to get to work quickly, with Rene teasing me the entire way. We showered together, though she definitely had other activities in mind, then I got dressed. Looking through my drawers, she located one of my larger t-shirts, throwing it on her nude body. Though we were twins, I stood a good head taller, with a compact, muscled frame. The shirt covered her well, oversized on her small body, just coming down to her mid-thigh. She modeled it for me and it dawned on me she should’ve a model, as hot as she looked. Oh, well, I thought, their loss, my gain. I left the house after giving her a long kiss and a word to call me immediately if she needed me. It might take me awhile to get home, but at least I knew a good back road to get me there faster. I worked a couple towns over, in a video game store in the local mall. It wasn’t as big as the ones in Hartford, but it was good-sized and got some good business. Only after the mall closed when I was helping to close the store did she call. The giggling in her voice and in the background hinted it was her playing around, maybe just to tell me to get home, maybe even just to tell me how much she loved me. Not wanting Chris, one of the other employees who was only a year older than me, to hear what might be said, I took the phone call in the back room and closed the door. I’d been right, all she wanted was to make sure I knew she loved me. I whispered the same to her while doing some of the nightly paperwork, careful to avoid being overheard. When she hung up, Chris made his way in, carrying the last piece of paperwork for the night. Chris and I never really worked together before that night, usually finding different schedules for us. He played baseball for his school like I did, and he seemed like a pretty okay guy. Only the manager’s scheduling left us without much time to get to know each other. It’d change after that night, as the two of became good friends, but at the moment as he stood there waiting on me, it felt he knew something. “So, that your girlfriend?” he asked while grabbing his coat. “She sounded fucking hot, man.” My eyes turned to him for a moment while my mind grappled with math. “Yes and no to the first one, and very hot.” “So you two fucking yet?” His words might have caught me off-guard a week ago but I just kept working. “Not any of your business. Got a reputation at school, I’m the nice guy that never talks about that stuff to other guys.” “Okay, just trying to make conversation.” “S’ok, I’m cool with it. Besides, don’t want to jinx things with us right now, so new and everything.” He understood, nodding. “Not quite dating but you’d like to be. Interesting.” Something in Chris’ tone caught my attention. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye while he waited for me to finish. “You got something to say?” “Nah, just wondering how long you’ve been doing your sister.” Something caught hard in my throat, sending me into a fit of hacking coughs. It took a few moments to get control, before the shock let up a little. “Wh-why do you even think that?” His grin beamed at me, stretched ear to ear in its smugness. “Yep, thought so. Can’t blame you either.” “Huh?” was all I could manage. “Todd pointed her out to me one day when she and some friends were down in the food court. He told me you two were twins and very close as kids. Always kind of interested me, incest, but I’m an only child. Can’t say it stopped me and my cousin though. Not as sexy as your piece of ass, but still something nice to have.” “Your cousin? That’s not incest-” “Are you kidding? She’s my father’s sister’s daughter. Damn right its incest. But our parents don’t care about us dating.” He started pulling something out of his pockets absently, while I watched him in shock. “I wasn’t sure you’d even do that kinda thing, though, not until I heard you and her on the phone. Well, it could’ve been someone else, but you’re shock just vindicates me.” Still dumbfounded, I did manage to say, “But you’re wrong. It‘s not her.” Part of me wanted to give in, to blurt out, Yes, it was my sister, because I love her more than a sister, but as a man loves a woman. The cautious side didn’t let it out, keeping it bottled up. “Am I? Look, you can tell me. If not about how good she is, at least admit it. No one will know, okay?” Voices cried out in alarm to keep my mouth shut, but the urge to admit to it enticed me more. “Swear on your game system you won’t tell a soul.” It’d become a joke in the store, how important our game systems were to us. Video games weren’t just our product, they were our hobby in this store. Anytime someone wanted to invoke an oath, they swore on their game system, whatever it might be. So I meant business, and he nodded. “Alright, we’re having an affair, but only you and one of her friends know so far. If it got out in school or my parents found out, we’d never see each other again.” “Let me guess, your parents are the really religious prude types, huh? Man, I don’t envy you now. It’s gotta be hard keeping this secret from them.” “Actually, they’re away right now and we’ve only been together for a couple days now.” It dawned on him, I saw, that I said something more than even he was expecting. “Together? Oh, man, you two aren’t just fucking, you’re falling for her, aren’t you?” “Go ahead, tell me how sick that is, I can take it.” He slapped me on the back. “No, not at all. Just haven’t met anyone doing what you two are doing who’ve actually gone that far. But, I’ve read some stories, on the net.” “On the net? You mean there are stories about this kinda thing? Think you could hook me up with some sites?” His hand reached for a piece of paper and pen. Scribbling some lines down, he handed it to me. “These have the real ones, the stories from actual people actually in your boat. It might help you guys figure things out. Might get you some more of her ass.” I shot him a rueful look. “That’s something I don’t even have to ask her for.” It took only a minute or two to finish the paperwork, but we left the store quickly, shutting the gate behind us. Inside the mall, everything was quiet as we headed to the parking lot with him telling me some of the stories he’d read. Some had my eyes bulging. His ride showed up just before we got to the lot. The cute young creature that got out ran up to Chris, jumping into his arms. I couldn’t help but notice how she hugged him, how they kissed, more than just friends, definitely lovers. “Sorry,” he said after she settled down. “This is my girlfriend, you know, the girl I told you about.” “Oh, yeah,” I said as it dawned on me. “Chris told me all about you.” She looked at him a little scared, but he leaned to her ear and whispered something. She immediately changed her mood, cheerfully offering her hand to me. “Delilah,” she said in a girlish voice. “Rick,” I said, my hand gripping hers firmly. “I wish I could stay, but my own girlfriend’s waiting for me.” The girl before me giggled. “Don’t need to hide it from me, Chris told me.” I shot him a look, but he tried to hide behind this young woman. “It’s okay, I won’t say a thing. I have a friend in the same situation. They’re planning to move to Europe or something after she graduates just so they can be together.” It took a few moments to digest this information, but it did lend hope to the cause. “Well, I gotta go. She’s waiting for me and I really don’t like to disappoint her at times like this.” “Besides, you never know if that guy after her will show up. Better get going.” Chris pushed me at my car, which I was too happy to oblige. I drove off and headed home with a thousand thoughts racing through my mind, all about Rene and me and what Chris had told me. It occurred to me maybe a lot more people engaged in this, people who hid the secret. Why else didn’t the papers report it, but other people still knew, the people trusted with the secret and able to hold it in. But enough people thought it wrong, now a foreign concept to me, enough to outlaw it. When my cell phone rang, I picked it up to a soft voice. “Almost home, my love?” “Not quite. Just left the mall about five minutes ago,” I said, focusing on the drive. “What’re you up to, baby? Screwing around with Elisa?” “Uh huh,” Rene answered in a seductive tone. “You wanna know what we’re doing?” Just thinking about what Rene and Elisa must be doing started to arouse my tired penis, putting a bulge in my pants. “Um, maybe it’d be better to wait until I reach the house?” “Okay...” my sister, disappointed, said. “You need to pick up some things from the store. It wouldn’t do to have you walking in there with a massive boner, would it?” It took her a moment to give me the list, short but bizarre. Whipped cream, cherries, chocolate and strawberry syrups, some KY, baby oil, a box of condoms, and a few quarts of ice cream. More than one image ran through my deviated thoughts, all on her. It didn’t occur to me at the time, but Elisa never entered those thoughts, didn’t even show up once in them. I asked her if she wanted something else, something to eat, since there was a McDonald’s and a Wendy’s near the store. Our town wasn’t very big really, not compared to others, but with all the business we got from the smaller surrounding towns, we had a large grocery store open all night, several fast food joints, even a Wal-Mart. Consulting Elisa, she told me what she wanted, making mental notes about her wants. “Ok, I’ll be home in a bit, baby. You gonna be waiting?” “Oh, yes, lover,“ she purred, Rene stretching it out delightfully. “Elisa’s fine enough for keeping me satisfied as best she can, but I need you right now.” She moaned into the phone, only making me hotter. I squirmed in the driver’s seat as she let out a long, so soft, “Ooooo.” She teased me, knowing my reaction. To help satisfy her, I needed to be ready to jump on her in a heartbeat. “Now, get home and show me how much you love me!” The phone went dead. It didn’t take long to get to the store. The lot was practically empty, only a car here and there waiting under the harsh light. I had to take a few moments to think of something, anything, to get rid of the bulge in my pants. It would make it hard to walk, make it hard for anyone not to stare. Thinking of the most unsexual thing I could think of, only taking a few seconds to take effect. The bulge shrunk, letting me walk freely. Wandering through the store quickly, I took no time to find everything, even grabbing some meat snacks for myself. Something told me I’d be very hungry later, too exhausted to fix anything, though. With everything in hand, I dropped it on the black conveyor belt at the counter. The cashier, a pretty red-head from school, ran each item over the scanner while smiling at me, flirting with me. I couldn’t resist much, wanting to act polite even though I didn’t have an interest in her. Not that she wasn’t pretty enough, she just wasn’t Rene. The girl in front of me now was a grade ahead of me, but right now, everything she said suggested trying to get me to ask her out. It took nothing to get the hint, but I played it cool, acting naive, unable to pick up her suggested action. The ruse worked well enough, leaving her sighing in disappointment as I walked out the door without asking her out. I stopped at Wendy’s, ordering the food as quickly as possible from drive-thru. Thinking about what waited for me at home, I thumped my fingers on the steering wheel impatiently while waiting for everyone else to pick up their food. Images of Rene doing another girl, while I watched, seeped through to arouse me. By the time I reached the window, the pants twitched from the bobbing underneath. I felt engorged with blood at that moment, about ready to burst from the pressure. The girl at the window was this really sexy strawberry blonde from my class named Ally, someone I’d have a week ago asked out without thinking. Her and Rene would’ve made quite a pair, but the girl held the reputation of hard to get, never saying yes to any boy except her rich boyfriend. Now, I just felt something almost drawing all the heat away from my erection. She took an order while I waited for her to turn my way, waiting for her to get to me. I’d never talked to her before, actually finding it surprising to see her working here. Bored and holding herself arrogantly, she took the order, punching it into the register. Finally she turned to me. Despite what I’d expected, a less than gracious attitude, she turned to me and actually started turning a little pink, smiling shyly, catching me off-guard. She leaned closer, actually out the window, despite the frigid wind blowing. “Hi. That’ll be $15.62,” she said. When I handed her the money, she leaned back in to ring up the order. “You’re in my class, right? Rick Shepard?” Someone from behind her handed her a couple bags. “Yeah, that’s me. We have biology together.” She handed me the bags. “Surprised to see you working here. Need the money, huh?” The smile grew a little, even as she shook her head. “Nah, wanted to get some money for a car. My parents said they’d go half and half if I got a job to pay my half. Life sucks sometimes.” “I know how that is. Got the same deal with my folks. Almost there too, just a few more months.” Setting the bags on the seat next to me, I turned back to her while she handed me the drink tray. “Well, at least you’ll get the experience out of this, plus a car.” She giggled as she purposefully brushed her fingers against mine. “You busy tonight?” “Sorta. Beat from working plus I gotta get home. My sister’s there and she’s got her crazed ex probably after her.” “You mean Will Donaldson? He got arrested yesterday for attempted rape.” Hearing this bit of news helped ease part of my mind. “Good.” “So, looks like you’re free now. I’m off in an hour, if you’d like to hook up.” It took me a moment to actually understand what was happening, my wildest dream of a few days ago now close to coming true. Ally was coming on to me, and not being subtle about it. “Maybe another time. My parents want me to stay home and watch the house.” The look of disappointment almost hurt. “I see. Well, I got my dad’s car and could come over, if you wanted. It’ll be fun.” With what I knew was taking place and waiting at home, I almost fell out of the seat. Ally walking in on that would be interesting, for all of about a minute before she drove off to call someone, anyone, to stop the affair. But I couldn’t resist, thinking about seeing Rene and Ally going at it, I agreed and even gave her directions. I drove away with the strangest feeling while struggling with guilt. I rushed home from there, running into the house with everything as fast as I could without dropping anything. I had an hour, I guessed. Rene, in all her naked glory, opened the door, Elisa behind her grabbing the bags and drinks as my sister’s arms drew around my neck, pulling me into her for a long awaited kiss. I put my arms around her, squeezing her while we kissed. She pulled me into the house, immediately beginning to strip me of my clothes. I took her hands and held them, looking at her while trying to think of what to tell her. “Okay, I need to tell you something and am not at all sure how you’ll take this.” Bless her, she looked caring and sympathetic, I felt really guilt now. “I ran into Ally Christian at Wendy’s tonight. We got to talking, and before I knew it, I’d invited her over tonight.” After all the years, I still can’t figure women out. Watching for her reaction, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. It took her that a moment to understand what I said, but instead of crying or getting angry, she actually jumped up and hugged me like I’d given her the best gift possible. “Really, Ally Christian’s coming here?” Obviously Elisa was in on the joke. At that moment, I wish I was in on it. “You’re not mad?” I asked once Rene finished kissing me. “Love, if you only knew!” Rene’s lips locked with mine again, expressing with a long kiss how I’d pleased her. “Ally’s like the hottest girl in our class. I’d love to do her!” “She doesn’t know what’s going on here, baby.” I let my sister strip me while Elisa ate. “The idea of seeing you two going at it does turn me on a lot, but aren’t you worried about-” A kiss interrupted me. When she broke away, her eyes twinkled, a smile donning her loving face. “If you want her, I don’t care, so long as I have her too.” “Aren’t you worried about me developing feelings for her?” Sudden silence fell over us all, while we looked at each other. It broke when she spoke with a serious look. “It does worry me, but I’m not going to run from this. If we face it dead on, maybe we’ll be stronger for it.” “You know, that’s very big of you, Rene,” Elisa said between bites. Part of me agreed with Elisa’s sentiments. “You sure trust me a lot, baby. Just wish I had the same confidence in myself.” A finger slid down my bare chest, my eyes watching my sister. “If you’re that worried, I’ll make sure not to leave you alone with her.” “And what about when the two of you go to bed, what’ll she do?” Elisa asked. “Easy, she’ll go home,” I said, realizing at the same time Elisa clearly mentioned Rene and me going to bed together, minus herself. “She’s driving her dad’s car. But, how to seduce her into this?” While her hands massaged my chest, I could see a plan working in Rene’s thoughts. Before long, I felt really excited from just her touch, but before I could throw her down to ravish that luscious body, she perked up, grinning with a wicked edge to it. “I got it.” A Forbidden Love Ch. 05 Chapter 5: A Simple Plan I can still remember that night’s events clearly, every detail. After discussing the plan, taking the better part of an hour to work out, we all got dressed to await the arrival of Ally. Despite my awesome desire for her during that hour, Rene kept me at bay, sweetly promising me the chance to ravish her later. Her hints at a nice reward also helped to keep me off her. Our plan hinged on Elisa and Rene and what they’d be up to. I dressed again, then we all took our places. When I heard a car pull into the driveway, I was sitting on the couch watching TV. I got up when I heard a knock on the door, opening it to find Ally there wearing a light coat over a sheer black dress. It hugged her every curve, giving away her lack of a bra, showing her very shapely breasts. Not quite as large as Rene, they still looked great from the view I had. The dress barely came down below her waist, showing long legs much like my lover’s. She’d even made herself up a little, though only highlighting already impressive features. I let her in, taking her coat. Ally asked me to show her around, skipping the first stage of the plan entirely. I started with the upstairs, showing her my room first, bringing a look of interest in her there, before showing her around the rest of the floor. We moved downstairs, showing her the house. As planned, when we got to the kitchen, she got curious about the second door, the one leading to the our barn. The causeway wasn’t heated, so walking through it made her nipples stick out from her dress, almost blowing everything when I saw it. Stepping into the warmth of our little house, the sight of Elisa with her head between my sister’s legs, both wearing nothing at all, drew a gasp from my companion. As planned, Elisa looked up for only a second, but Rene pushed her away, getting up from her position. She walked to us, moving with the grace of a cat. Her first thought meant to move to me, she turned on Ally standing there, befuddled by the sudden discovery. My sister fell on the girl like a practiced hunter, quickly engrossing Ally in her lips. Elisa came up to me, taking me in her arms. Watching the scene turned me on, and Elisa was certainly willing to let me take her then. Besides, none of the conspirators wanted to scare Ally with the truth to the actual goings on between brother and sister, not yet. Even as I watched Rene strip Ally, who fell into line without any hesitation, Elisa soon had me on her, burying my cock into her waiting pussy. She definitely hadn’t the tightest hole, but it felt good enough at the moment. Seeing my sister bury her head in the mound of the other girl, I pounded into Elisa with all my strength. When Ally did likewise for Rene, Elisa came, crying out for more. When Elisa came again from my incessant thrusts, she cried out how much she wanted me. It took Ally and Rene getting in position to eat each other at the same time to finally release my load into Elisa’s waiting body. Finally spent, my cock should’ve lost it’s hardness. Instead, it remained ready, and I knew who I wanted next. Seeing the pussy being eaten, wondering if now it was time to show Ally what was really going on, I looked to Rene as she lay in the throes of another orgasm. Elisa pushed me at the two writhing girls, so I eagerly fell next to Rene. Now that Ally had been satisfied enough, she’d taken to pleasuring Rene, letting her ass ride in the air for anyone to see or take advantage of. But Rene waited for me, I knew inside, wanting me to take her before Ally. She took my hand when I came close enough, drawing me close. I bent down, as Ally watched, feeling my lover’s lips touch mine. Her tongue danced like a feather over my lips a moment before we looked at Ally’s reaction. The girl looked about ready to drop from shock but she didn’t move. It felt awkward for more than a few moments, Rene and I holding each other while Ally processed this new information. It confused her, disgusted her a little at least, but she eventually shrugged and turned back to finishing my sister’s wet mound. Looking to one another, Rene and I smiled before continuing our kiss. The next orgasm hit, her hands clawing at my back while she rode it out. Moans flowed out of her, right into my mouth. It felt so good, feeling her like that, I knew I’d have to get into her quickly. Recognizing what I wanted, Elisa pulled Ally away, pushing her down to have her way with the newest member of our little orgy. I entered into Rene, feeling her already pleased canal contracting. We blocked out the other two watching us, making love before an audience. It wasn’t sex, instead the slow, sensual moves and touching of love making. After the other two finished their own orgasms together, they lay panting before the two of us finished with soft, muffled moans and words of love. “So you two are really into this?” Ally said in disbelief. Rene took my hand as I laid down, kissing it. “Yeah, we really do love it,” I answered her. “You don’t find it disgusting or wrong?” Ally took a moment to think about it, tossing her head from side to side. “Well, I’m not completely, one hundred percent sure about it, but if you two like it, who am I to argue?” “It’s more than just sex for them,” Elisa said, smiling. “Don’t you see how they look at each other? It’s not just delight from the sex, it’s definitely love.” The other girl just looked at Elisa a moment then Rene and me. “You mean brother and sister love, right?” I felt Rene moving her head to mine, wanting our expression of love to answer the question, at the same time wanting to just bask in what we shared. Before our lips could connect, Rene took a moment to answer the question, “No, husband and wife love. True love. Whatever you want to call it.” Then I felt someone mounting my partly stiff cock, while Rene’s mouth occupied mine. It felt very tight, the head running into a resistance only an inch or two in. It amazed me when I opened my eyes, seeing Ally with a hesitant expression perched, ready to impale herself onto me. She lifted up a little before easing the head in again. Elisa held the shaft in place, and started stroking it, bringing it to hardness again. While Rene kept my mouth busy with her tongue, I wondered about the road block in Ally’s pussy, wondering if it was that fabled cherry I’d heard about. If she still had her hymen, it meant she’d never had sex before, something suddenly wrong. As if knowing something was wrong, Rene pulled away and looked at Ally. “You’ve never gone all the way, have you?” I asked. The girl just shook her head, bringing a sudden soberness to the party. “Are you sure you want to do this? You know you can’t undo it if you do.” “I’m sure I want to, really,” Ally replied, trying to convince us as well as herself. Both Rene and Elisa got up, leaving me with Ally. The thought dawned on me to make this special for Ally, at least enough for her to want to try sex again later. It felt like Rene’s as well as mine. The door closed behind them, leaving me and Ally alone together. It worried me, starting to churn feelings of guilt again that I might potentially betray the woman I loved with another. But I knew I needed to face this now or wouldn’t ever be able to get past the temptation. I pulled Ally’s head down to mine, kissing her waiting mouth. She trembled against me, but her body responded to my touch with ease. I took her hips in hand, letting her understand my intention before I did anything. Biting her lower lip, gripping the carpet tightly, she nodded for me to do it. With a hard push, I impaled her supple body on my cock, feeling the tight walls wrapped around the invading object. The heat of her mixed with something else, a slipperiness not quite cum, not the same feel to it. Her hand reached around to wipe it as it leaked out around my stiff shaft, drawing away with blood smeared on her fingers. She almost fainted, my own reaction only slightly better. Only later would I find out it was supposed to happen that way, the bleeding when her hymen snapped. While she waited out the pain, I started kissing the firm tits hanging in front of me. She sucked in a gasp of air as my tongue flicked over one, then the other. She started rocking, feeling herself gain more confidence in the action. With a lot of ease, she soon was riding me quickly, letting me feel every inch of that tight hole. I wondered casually if she would let me into her again after this night, but a tinge of guilt thrust it into the back of my head. When I came in her, only moments after her orgasm, she started playing her pussy muscles, milking my cock for the cum that she wanted. Once finished, she fell off me, exhausted but satisfied. It took awhile to get up again, but I went to the door, helping Ally to walk. We walked to the house, then into the living room where my sister and Elisa waited, watching another porn tape. They saw a happily smiling Ally and me, smiling back. Ally sat down next to Elisa, her legs partly spread, cum mixed with blood still dribbling from her pussy. Rene almost jumped down my throat, but Elisa explained things, calming my lover. I sat in dad’s chair, letting Rene sit in my lap while all of us talked. Ally took a few moments and called home, letting her parents know she’d be spending the night. An instant of thought about sleeping with Ally and Rene, about what might stir, met with the happy ring of Elisa mentioning the guest bedroom to Ally, suggesting they spend the night in there together. So, we all retired to the upstairs bedrooms, Elisa and Ally in one, Rene and me in our parents’ room. We all kissed each other good night before separating, going our separate ways. The two of us, so much in love, locked the door behind us, assuring no disturbances. While I laid out on the bed, Rene walked to me with her hips swaying sensuously, sucking on one of her pinkies in a cute, naive expression. Once she was close enough, I saw the tube in her hand, the KY I’d bought earlier in the night. But as she opened it and smeared the cool substance on my rock hard cock, she kept her mouth silent about what she intended. Then she pulled me off the bed, crawling onto it on her hands in knees before me. The crack of her small, firm ass split when she did the move, revealing her puckered, pink rectum. She reached behind her and smeared more on her asshole, letting me know where she wanted my cock now. I grabbed her waist as I got behind her, pressing the head of my cock against her waiting rectum. “Be gentle, my love,” was all she said, waiting for something intense by the way her hands gripped the sheets. With a gentle push, I popped the head into her, feeling it tightly grasping at my cock. She gripped tighter to the sheets, groaning from the feeling. My intruding cock pushed in deeper with slow intensity, giving her time to get used to it. It took awhile until my balls touched her skin, but the feeling was almost like taking her the first time. I bent down behind her, laying little kisses on her back, while she turned her head towards me with a tender smile. She pushed her ass at me, letting me know she wanted to continue. While holding her body, I started pumping her ass, letting her play with her clit and thrusting her fingers into her pussy. I felt the fingers thrusting even as I thrust into her through the thin wall between her colon and vagina. Finally, I couldn’t hold it anymore, but I managed long enough. When Rene trembled enough, her moans almost continuous, I let loose my willpower, feeling cum jump into her. She found herself cumming too, crying out in pleasure in time to my own orgasm. But we couldn’t manage to keep it low, letting our cries fill the room. Exhausted once more, we laid down in bed again, holding each other. My sister’s violated butt, she swore, felt better than she imagined it could. We started to talk, giving the details of our conquests. It felt good talking like we were, holding each other. “There is something I want to ask you,” I told her. “I don’t want to seem jealous, but I know I am. But I want to know, do you plan to do other guys?” The thought in her took awhile to work itself out. She looked at me with a smile. “No,” she answered simply. “As much fun as I have with you, I’ve heard way too much about what other guys might be like. Besides that, even with being careful and all, Elisa still says I could get pregnant. I could take birth control, we could use every contraception device, time our sex with my cycle, yet still get me pregnant. I don’t want to take the chance of bearing someone else’s baby.” It certainly eased my mind. It also let me make a decision myself, one I knew would show my feelings. “Rene, my love, with the sacrifice you’re making, I’m going to make a pledge to you. As long as we’re together, I will not take any other woman.” How she responded remains with me to this day. Her tears of joy brought me a greater reward, not in sex, but in how we kissed. We were too exhausted to do anything more, so we hugged each other, kissing. “Oh, Rick, you don’t have to do that,” she said as she caressed my cheek. “You know that, but yet you’re making me this vow of your own free will.” “I am, and I’ll do it again, every day, for the rest of our lives.” My fingers traced her soft cheek. “I want you to know no other woman could ever satisfy me.” “Then lets make it definite. Let’s both just enjoy each other, never again having anyone else intrude on our love.” It took us a little while longer to get to sleep, as we just kissed, enjoying the novelty of our new relationship. It did dawn on me later what I’d vowed, but looking at it, not only had I done it for love, I’d said it and meant it. A Forbidden Love Ch. 06 Chapter 6: Time Passes The next day I spent with Rene. As soon as we could even get out of bed long enough without fondling each other, we told Ally and Elisa, both understanding and happy for us. The four of us ate breakfast before deciding to do something. A few of our oldest friends stopped by, wanting to hang out before school the next day. This was our group, now back together. They all sensed the change in Rene and me, Elisa happily telling them all about it. Surprisingly, they all patted us on the back for finally recognizing what was between us. So, until a little after noon, we all hung out. It didn't take long for Rene and I to get comfortable, cuddling together. Ally eventually suggested going to the mall, but I worried about the two of us not being able to do anything if people saw us. When she suggested a mall out of the area, up in Hartford, we agreed. Up in Hartford, the group roamed the mall. As we had a nice distribution of girls to guys with Ally now becoming entrenched in our clique, all of us paired off going to the mall. Liking the idea of being Rene's boyfriend publicly, the two of us kept ourselves busy while our friend Alec drove us in his truck, Elisa sitting next to him. It took Elisa's tickling of Rene to get the two of us to stop paying attention to each other. It was love, without question, the way we just kept holding one another, kissing, hugging, expressing our love in cute words. Hanging out at the mall, the girls dragged us guys to this store or that. While they tried on one outfit or another, even getting bored myself at first, us guys would wait for the next model. After a lot of complaining, the girls let us loose, a bad move, as we went through every store with any sign of sports or videogames. We had a routine where we'd tie up all the clerks in a store all at once with questions, and we knew what questions to ask too, to keep the clerks from actually making a sale. When we caught up with the girls, or maybe it was the other way around, Rene and I just melted into each other's arms. With a lot of sweet talking, she dragged me off down the mall away from our friends towards one of the lingerie shops. Inside the store, she pulled me to one rack or the next, a smile as I felt a tingling sensation looking at the panties or bras, even the sheer silk nighties, imaging them on her body. She knew the effect on me, arousing herself in the process. We decided on several items, practically a whole new wardrobe of under garments. Now, our parents weren't really rich, but they did have enough money coming in that Rene and I always got a rather large allowance. Most of mine went to dating, some ending up in a box under my bed, waiting for the moment I had enough for a car. Rene didn't want to get a car, happy with trying to persuade our father to buy her one. As much as she had him wrapped around her little finger, she still hadn't gotten it out of him. Dad worked as a lawyer for a firm based in Hartford with a branch office in town, while Mom worked for the town, earning quite a bit. They could've afforded to get us both a car, but I respected their decision, giving us the opportunity to learn some values. With all her money almost spent, we found our friends in the food court. I got Rene something to eat along with something to fill my grumbling stomach. All of us talked with freedom that comes with youth, not caring who might overhear. Rene didn't let me pull my arm from her once, snuggling as close as possible when she wanted. Not once did I complain, though, actually enjoying the close rapport we'd already developed in a few days. We left the mall later that afternoon, returning home. All of us decided to call it a day, leaving me with my lover alone in the farmhouse. Once we'd eaten dinner, we took to watching a movie in our parents' bed, lying naked against each other. During one boring part (we liked the parts with people making out more than the story) I talked with about an idea I had. Now, our parents' wanted us to trust us, so we usually were left to our privacy, even in our barn. With it being connected to the house, it occurred to me that I might convince dad to let me move out there, to the top floor. It had everything I could need, a bathroom complete with shower, and room on the second floor for a bedroom. At first, the idea didn't appeal to her, until I let her see the beauty of it. Out there, we could talk, play, even make love, without our parents knowing. It wasn't far from the house, maybe a ten foot causeway connecting the barn to it. The first floor had been converted from a kids room to a rec room, with an old couch and a couple chairs gathered around an entertainment center. From time to time, we'd go out there to study, being quiet in the barn. She liked the idea, but made it clear we needed to ensure a way to get her out there too. Being in the house alone would drive her crazy, she swore, if I wasn't at least in the next room. It would take some doing, but we decided to play up to our parents' view of things. I'd make the suggestion about moving in there, with our parents and Rene in the room. She'd chime in, whining that if I got to move out there, she should be allowed to do the same. There'd be a mock fight, as real to our parents though as it needed to be, finally getting our parents to intervene, saying we'd remain in the house. The beauty of the plan would be the sudden "compromise", with both of us agreeing to share the barn. Over the next week, we spent the time not in school going about a very different route. Rene decided to go looking for a job when I worked, but when I had a day off, the two of us couldn't get enough of each other. Our friends would stop by on occasion, hanging out for awhile before leaving. It had to end sometime, our little honeymoon period, and when mom called saying they were taking a flight on Friday night instead, Rene and I spent our last day preparing for their return, getting as much from each other as we could before going to pick them up. Once we got home, Rene and I began our mock fight, but before we could really get into it, mom announced she was pregnant, stunning the two of us completely. It took no time to get our wish, mom wanting Rene's room for the baby anyway. Fighting between us about who'd move out to the barn, dad fell for it, stopping us before our compromise and settling the issue the way we wanted. Dad and I did the work together with a few friends of his, creating two separate rooms from practically nothing. During the weeks, Rene and I tried to continue on, only making things more tense, but somehow we managed to survive it without getting physical. Our codes worked as they did before as kids. When we could manage to, we'd catch kisses from one another, letting each other know we still meant business. Then the day came for us to move to our new bedrooms. What mom and dad didn't know was that I'd managed to connect the two bedrooms with a secret wall, letting us pass between the rooms easily. Mom went out and got us each a new, full-sized bed, but dad insisted on a waterbed for my room, trying to hint at me getting a girl alone in there. I couldn't tell him about the girl I'd have in there soon enough. Every night, we'd spend it in each other's arms, making love before and during the night. Those Friday nights, when I didn't work, the two of us would come up with some excuse to go out, though never with each other to our parents eyes. And our "dates" were friends of ours from childhood, those we'd entrusted with the secret affair. Things did get screwed up, though. A few months after the orgy, Ally found out she'd gotten pregnant, and it didn't take much to get the idea the only possible father was me. But, the mother-to-be just smiled, saying her boyfriend, Ben, one of my longtime friends, would claim the baby as his. Though none too pleased about the turn of events, Rene eventually accepted it. Mom gave birth to Kaitlyn a month before Ally did, but when the time came, though it hurt me to know, Ben stood there by her. Part of me wanted to claim the little girl that came out of that one night as mine, but even Ally had to convince me doing so would only upset Rene more. That night, Rene comforted me, trying to help me through it. Ben, a year older than me, did keep his promise, even marrying Ally just before he entered the navy. The two of them were very much in love, and she proved to be a great mother to Beth from the first moment, devoting herself to that baby. When Rene found out she'd been accepted to UConn, I still hadn't heard from any schools. Things looked bad, like I might not get into the same school. By the time the letter came, I'd managed to save enough money to get a car with dad's help. As a reward for sticking it out, dad even put the car under his insurance policy, paying for it himself. The day the letter came, I drove up to the mailbox to check, finding the envelope from UConn, just like the one she'd gotten weeks earlier. Opening it quickly, I found the acceptance letter, almost whooping for joy. I raced to the little convenience store Rene worked at. She saw me through the crowd of customers, bored completely and being hit on by this much older guy. Her face brightened with seeing me, and after she got another girl to cover the counter a moment, she took me in back to hear the news. Her arms flew around me once I told her. "Oh, that's great!" she exclaimed. I lifted her up and twirled her happily while she deeply kissed me. "This just couldn't get any better. It's happening, everything we wanted." Despite her enthusiasm, I did have to say something. "Baby, this is just one small part, remember? For four years, we'll have more freedom, but there's still so much before we can have it all." It took a second for me to understand she was hiding something, the feeling in my head, the way she bit her lower lip. "There's something we need to talk about," she said. Something inside knew what it was, but wouldn't come out. Her hands found mine and, as she lovingly smiled at me, guided them to her stomach, only then the thought forming. "We're going to have a baby, Rick." The sudden news sent me reeling for a moment, but once the initial shock wore off, joy overwhelming my senses. I kissed her happily, hugged her with all my effort. I spun her around, making her slightly sick in the process. She had to sit a moment on a stack of cans a moment, while I suddenly felt bad, despite her reassurances. "But, what about the pills?" Soon after we'd gotten together, Rene had talked our mother into getting birth control pills. Mom was great about it, though she worried about her daughter not having a boyfriend, feeling relieved Rene was being somewhat responsible about sex. It took a little time for her to get used to taking them, and she made sure I knew they weren't foolproof, but sitting in the back room, that didn't occur to me. "They don't always work," she explained in mock severity. "We were careful enough with condoms and everything, but maybe my cycle's not as regular as I thought. All I know is I'm pregnant, about maybe two months or so along." Truth be told, after Ally had given birth, I knew I was ready to be a father, but in only a month, we'd be graduating and two months after heading off to college. The timing stunk, yes, but both of us still felt enormously happy about the turn of events. I bent down before her while looking in her eyes. A moment of silence passed between us as we just delighted in the news. Things were shaken up but neither of us cared. Once we spoke, we discussed how she'd tell our parents, keeping secret the father. She'd say she still intended to go to school, but she wanted to raise the baby herself. It could work, we knew. She'd always been independent of support in a lot of ways, except for me, of course, and had a strong spirit and will, two of the things that made me fall in love with her. "Pick me up here at eight, okay, honey? I'll call home later and tell them I'm staying over a friend's for the night. You do the same and we'll go somewhere special to celebrate everything," she said as we were getting ready to leave the back room. The flood of customers inside the store made a racket, but I managed to give her a long kiss before we opened the door enough. Before I left her, I looked around and said very purposefully, "Eight o'clock, got it. See you then, sis." I called out to work for that night, finding out they'd just have sent me home as slow as things were, and then set out to setting up an arrangement for me to be out all night. It was a Friday, and my parents were used to both of their kids coming home on Saturdays, sometimes even Sundays. So I thought it through, giving key friends a call to let them know not to call. When I told dad I'd be home late, he just grinned and nodded, even telling me not to come home until morning if I didn't need to. When she got off, I picked my sister up. Of course, she'd called and asked me for to bring a few things with me, clothes for the night and tomorrow, not as if we'd really need them later on. I'd brought a shirt and pants, few other things too, so whatever we did, it'd be okay. We decided to drive to New Haven to take in a nice dinner before getting a room someplace. We were old enough and figured if anyone asked, we could just say we were a newly married couple on our honeymoon. She'd taken to using our mother's maiden name for her last name, even investigating ways to establish it as a newer, separate identity. Things looked set for a romantic evening alone. By the time we arrived in the outskirts of the city, we settled on dinner at a Chili's, even getting a table in a quieter area. Throughout dinner, we talked and touched, keeping each other happy. A few plans were made, especially after she mentioned about the freshmen dorm requirement at UConn. Now, according to the requirements at the college, freshmen had to live in the dorms for the first year, unless there were certain circumstances. One was marriage, but without a way to make it a reality, we knew I'd at least have to stick it out in the dorms. The thought didn't appeal to either of us. But the thought of a baby on the way, it did give us some hope. After dinner, following our other needs, we checked into a little motel in a little town north of the city. While she called our parents to let them know she wouldn't be home that night, I considered what to do about the dorms. Hanging up the phone, she came up to me, laying a soft, lingering kiss on my lips, then walked happily into the bathroom. It left me with a few minutes to think, even as I undressed and climbed into the bed. I wondered, since she used mom's maiden surname on the college application, if we could get married under that. The thought of marriage still turned most of the guys I knew into jelly with fear, except Ben, but it didn't have the same effect on me. Thinking about it, we'd already been courting since before we were even born, and I didn't exactly have a good idea how to even propose to her. The whole "on bended knee" approach felt romantic enough to me, but something doubted she'd accept a proposal, despite all we'd planned over two years time. Actually marrying my secret lover now, it felt right somehow, and I felt a resolve well up in me to find a way to actually do it. When she came out of the bathroom, wearing a black silk nightie and looking incredibly sexy, I couldn't help but whistle. Shyly, she turned away, hiding her smile as her hands rubbed her stomach. "Oh, I'm not that beautiful," she stated. "But you are," I answered with every ounce of seriousness. "Hell, I've never seen a woman in all the world who looks as beautiful and sexy as you!" Laying on the top of the bed, completely naked and propped up with an elbow on my side, I gave a very long look at her body, letting her know in every way I could I meant those words. "Now, are you going to argue with me? Or do you want me to get a hold of every guy from school, everyone in back in town, even all the guys who've you've served at work? I'm sure that guy hitting on you today would agree with me." She dropped on the bed beside me, giving me a playful slap on the arm. "You just don't know when to quit. Thought you'd guessed by now you'd be getting lucky tonight either way." "Nothing in this world could ever stop me from telling you these things, and I want to say them forever. All because it's true." My hand found her cheek, fingers touching her baby soft skin like feathers. "I love you, Rene." Her body moved closer to mine until we lay there against each other on our sides, seeing only our lover. "I love you, Rick," she whispered, her lips shifting with a loving smile, the one I couldn't resist even if I tried. Seeing the smile, something ran through me, as I got up on my knees on the bed, pulling her up to hers as well. While I held her hand, looking directly into her eyes, the words came out before my brain registered them even coming out, "Will you marry me?" Tears appeared instantly in those sapphire eyes, and I found myself lying on the bed with Rene on top, her arms wrapped around my neck. Her lips kissed me hard and passionately, as if trying to convey her answer through the embrace. When she finally lifted her head, causing a groan from me at the disappointment, she wore a happy smile even as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Yes! Oh, Rick, I will!" Unable to resist her at the moment, I brought her head down, our lips meeting in bliss. We both felt power in the kiss, making love to each other's mouths. My hands took to her body, with such a light touch, gliding over her back slowly, letting her feel every sensation the movement created and prolonging those feelings. When they reached her shapely ass, my mouth had found its way from her lips, nuzzling on her neck, laying long kisses downwards while moving to her shoulder. One hand slid up her spine, sending shivers through her all the way up to her neck, while the other pulled one of her thighs down and closer. She moaned softly in response to how I made her feel at the moment, one hand caressing her thigh, another touching sensitive pleasure centers, my lips taking the time to show her skin how they loved it. Lying there, she began to push her hips back, never reaching behind her for what she sought, just knowing it was there and ready. The aim was good, the hard shaft glided into her waiting mound with no effort. The warmth and wetness informed me of her readiness, but instead of rocking her hips, she stopped when her vaginal lips had sucked in the entire length, holding still while I continued my ministrations. It didn't matter, not then, if she just let it hold up in there, no movement inside that wet canal. She let me have my way with her body, and wanting to please my future wife had taken precedence over my own enjoyment, not that I didn't enjoy it myself. When she began to moan ever so softly, drawing it out as long as she could, only then did she begin to rock her hips. The movement held no urgency, pulling up ever so slowly every inch of our skins suddenly tingled with the sensation from one area. Her hips drew back down even slower, sucking my cock up into her with only her slick hole a sign of her willingness. For long minutes, she kept up the slow rock on me, while I traced my tongue slowly up her windpipe to her chin. There, my lips laid a gentle kiss before returning to the lusciously full lips, wanting to taste of those and the tongue beyond. With no sense of urgency, the night seeming to last forever during those moments. All the times we'd been together since that first week ended over a year ago, we'd always rushed more than either of us really wanted, never savoring each other enough, the fear of our parents discovering us always hanging there. Now, in the motel room, we finally did just that, making slow love to each other. An hour passed while I used my hands to touch her entire body, my tongue and lips kissing those places they could reach. Our fingers eventually interlocked as she pushed herself up in a brief pause, then slipped the silk from her body, reveling in my reaction to her. When she laid back down again, my hands returned to their happy task. A Forbidden Love Ch. 06 Not once did we break contact when we rolled over each other, her laying on her back as I lay on her. With her insistence from her hips, I found the pace she'd started, moving into her and drawing out again with the slow rhythm she'd set. Our lips connected again while her fingers massaged my chest and abdomen, a few times drawing a little away from her when she touched the ticklish zones. There was no playfulness in the love making, only that, love. My hips rose and fell, plunging into her with an aching slowness. Some part of me wondered at the time if other couples did this, but I knew the guys at school didn't, not as immature as most were towards sex. Rene and I weren't having sex, then, it was more than that, something far deeper in those moments. It was bound to happen, eventually. The slow pace did still have a limit and I started feeling that same pressure rising up inside me, making its way towards the tip of my cock. Not once did I give a sign of the impending climax, nor did she. The warm liquid flowed down over my head, the sign of her own orgasm, even as mine finally shot forth and free into her. We both felt it, the love between us growing inside her even as we finished in no spectacular manner, subdued but more than satisfied. Though not tired at all, I laid down next to her, she closing the distance between us so we were as close in body as in spirit. Perhaps if we'd have known before we planned our night together, if we'd known what would happen, we'd have stayed home that night. We fell asleep together, holding each other closely, blissfully unaware of the rest of the world. Something had to wake us, but the cell phone ringing at a little after five in the morning certainly wasn't the expected wake up call. Answering it half groggy, a female voice answered my grunt. "Is this Rick Shepard?" I answered with another grunt, about the only thing I could think of. Curled up against my chest, Rene slept, angelic in sleep as when awake. "I'm afraid I have some bad news." Almost all of the sleep faded enough for me to understand the last two words. Before the woman on the other end could continue, I blurted out, "I'm sorry, who is this again?" "I'm Dr. Reve, the doctor who treating your parents." The last vestiges faded from my mind as the situation worsened. "You're parents were involved in a serious car accident and brought here to Yale-New Haven for treatment. As the next of kin, you need to come as soon as you can." Numb with the news, some small part of me still had enough sense to ask the doctor about their condition. "I'm afraid I'd rather give that to you here. It'd be better than over the phone. I can tell you they are in critical condition." Something roused my lover from her sleep, but unlike me, she woke up immediately, seeing me expressionless and numb. "I-I'll be there as soon as I can." While Rene tried to get me to tell her what the news was, the doctor asked, "Do you know where your sister is? We'd like for her to come as well." I nodded, though it didn't occur to me that over the phone, the doctor wouldn't see it. When she prompted me again, I answered quickly, "Yes, I know where she is. We'll be there soon." My thumb closed the line as I lay there, almost feeling everything drained away in a single moment. Rene looked at me with a fear I'd never seen before then, seeing her husband-to-be lying there unmoving. "Rick? Please, oh, please, say something," she pleaded. It took a long time to actually react to anything, let alone her. I looked at her, then sat up slowly. "Mom and dad are in the hospital and they need us there." "Mom, dad? Why, what happened?" She tried to get me to face her, though I knew tears were already beginning to sting her eyes. Something couldn't bring me to face her, knowing I'd have to confirm her fears. "The doctor said they're in critical condition." She fell back, I felt from the way the bed sagged suddenly. I could hear a sob, knocking me a little out of the shock. Turning to her, she sat there, curled up into a ball with her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms holding them close. I saw tears in the dim light, glistening in strange ways as she held herself. Finding her in the darkened room, I pulled her close, and she didn't resist me now, preferring my embrace to her own, less comforting one. We just sat there, holding each other, for awhile. There was that sibling comforting there, but it mixed with that of two people in love comforting each other in those dark moments of life. It didn't take us long to get dressed and ready to go. It took some effort, though, as we went out to my car. The drive there, though not actually that long, felt like it took forever. Times like that, no matter how close you are, it always feels like you're a million miles away. But we did get there soon enough and rushed into the hospital. After a nurse gave us a set of directions, we eagerly followed them through the hospital, arriving at the emergency room's front desk. The nurse directed us to a tall woman in a doctor's white coat. The details were hard to hear, and neither Rene nor I could stop each other from holding one another. At the moment, no one would have guessed at just why, chalking it up to a brother and sister hearing very bad news. My father, Dr. Reve told us, had died just after she'd called, but our mother still lay in critical condition. The tone and wording gave an indication the doctor didn't think she'd survive, though she never uttered those words. When Rene asked to see mom, the doctor led us to a room. On a single bed, my mother lay surrounded by beeping machines. Her head was heavily bandaged, her body wrapped like a mummy's. The doctor left after a few more words, leaving Rene and I with our mother sleeping. I pulled a chair up for my sister to sit in, while she found mom's hand and held it, holding back the tears. I moved to the other side of the bed and took my mother's other hand. Maybe sensing her two eldest children near, she began to open her eyes, greatly weakened but still holding a spark of life in them. Almost immediately, Rene stood up, trying to smile reassuringly, while mom looked at us both with strained effort. Mom didn't say anything, even as Rene tried to soothe her, saying she'd be alright, that she'd be home soon enough. It didn't occur to me, but mom just gave us a long look, as if seeing us for the first time. When her eyes look down to Rene's stomach, a look Rene didn't spot, I wondered if mom knew. The reaction tells me she did, as she used what little strength she had to pull our hands over the bed and placed them in each other, eliciting a look at each other. "You two do look good together," she whispered, the mere words taking effort she needed in other areas. "You always did. Promise you'll be there for one another." The thought crossed from me to my twin and back again, that we might have just gotten the approval of our mother. We each agreed to our mother's request, though not saying or doing anything more in case we misconstrued her message. She smiled a little, returning back to sleep. When Rene and I finally left the room, we wandered down to the cafeteria, sitting down together despite the people in the room. We just drank some coffee while talking, mostly trying to help each other through the terrible situation. It took awhile before we could make our way back to the ER to find the doctor again. For some reason, Rene wanted to see our father's body, and there was still a question neither of us wanted to consider that needed to be asked nonetheless. After showing us to the room with dad's body still lying on a gurney, his wounds hidden by a sheet, and the body cold with a blue tint to it, Rene just stood looking at him, as if expecting him to wake up any moment. I asked the woman the question a little off to the side, "Was there a little girl, about eight months old, brought in with my parents?" The doctor smiled and nodded. "Yes, but we weren't sure which car the baby came from. She's fine, just a few bruises." I took a deep breathe and let it out in relief. "She's our sister. Do you think you could release her to us?" "Of course, I'll just need you to sign a few things before you can go." She looked down at her beeper when it began its urgent beeping, then looked at me with a serious expression. "Please stay here. I'll be back as soon as I can. And I'll see about having your sister brought to you." She turned without an answer and hurried out of the room, closing the door behind her. I walked up behind my sister and put my arms around her. She leaned back against me, letting the silence of the room hang about. Neither of us moved again for a very long until we heard the door open. On reflex, my arms removed themselves from Rene as I took a step back. Dr. Reve informed us mom passed when she entered, bringing Rene back into my arms as I held her, her sobs muffled against my chest. It took me a moment to realize, despite my own lack of sobbing, tears were rolling down my face. A Forbidden Love Ch. 07 Chapter Seven: A Family Secret Four days passed before the funeral for our parents. Aunt Jenny flew out from California with her two kids and stayed with us. We left them to the house while we kept Kaitlyn in the barn with us. The shock on both Rene and me of losing our parents didn’t keep us apart, but in grieving, we just tried to comfort each other. It didn’t look strange to our aunt and cousins how we hugged. It didn’t feel weird, not anymore. Everyone tried to help us through it as best they could. Friends of our parents came by and offered their condolences. Dad’s brother Ken and his wife Melissa came and stayed with us the night before the funeral. While Rene and I took to being the parents of our sister, the strain of so many eyes watching us, especially trying to open us up to them, did cause us both to stick to the barn mostly, hiding together from everyone. In the weeks following mom and dad’s deaths, we talked to each other, just as we did as kids, just as we’d done a thousand times as young adults. The funeral took only an hour, but Rene and I stood resilient by then, drawing strength from only each other. At the wake, our parent’s lawyer took us to the study to talk privately about the will. While we’d taken care of our sister, it never dawned on either of us our parents would have given custody of her to someone else. The will left if very clear that custody would pass to our father’s brother and his wife, but somehow, hearing it didn’t help. He did also read out the contents of the will for us, along with other details. Our parents might not have been wealthy, but they left us enough to live a good life while we were in school, even beyond. The house and money they’d saved would go to us, to be split however the two of us decided, though a third of the million dollar life insurance policy would go into a trust fund for Kaitlyn. As he got up to leave, he set down an envelope with a slight bulge in one part, then went on his way. I picked up the envelope as Rene just took in the information without saying anything. She didn’t have to, I knew she wanted to be a mother by now, and Kaitlyn certainly needed one now. Why she didn’t feel like the baby in her was enough, nothing could answer that question. Upon opening a envelope, I found simply a note with a bank name and a number of a safety deposit box. It didn’t occur to me it might be weird, as dad always prepared for the worst. While I helped her accept the news, I resolved to take care of the bank matter the day after. The wake, thankfully, my aunts and uncle handled. Most of the people we knew, with some of our friends hanging out with us. It felt better with them around, it certainly helped Rene with her feelings. After awhile, she felt good enough, with constant encouragement from Ally and Elisa, though I helped as much as they’d let me. The wake broke up a little before sunset that day, as everyone went home to get away from the mournful house. As night fell, the three older adults, Jenny, Ken, and Melissa, gathered in the living room to talk, Jenny’s kids in the barn watching TV. While Rene went to her room to get Kaitlyn ready for bed, I grabbed up some of the left over food on a tray with some Cokes, heading out to the barn. I passed through the rec room upstairs, noticing Zack, my 15 year old cousin, watching me intently from a chair. Deciding to unsettle him, I shot him a dirty look, then made my way upstairs to the bedrooms. After depositing the tray in my room, I made my way to her room, hit with the smell of a dirty diaper before even entering. She looked at me with a sickened look, but smiled anyway as I came up behind Rene, my arms wrapping around her while she worked. Something told me I should’ve known it was coming now that we were alone. “Why’d mom and dad have to give her to Ken?” she asked in barely a whisper. The question didn’t take me by surprise, though, because she wanted to be a mother badly, I knew, even helping mom out from the day Kaitlyn came into the household. “Why couldn’t they have left her with us?” As much as the truth hurt, it did need saying. “Because they didn’t know about us. Because we’re going off to school in a few months. Because they didn’t think we were ready to be parents. All of the above.” It did hurt to say, but again, it needed saying. She sighed softly while dressing our sister again. “Still, they could’ve talked to us about it.” “But they didn’t and there’s not much we can do about it now.” Rene slipped from my embrace. I watched as she moved to the crib we’d brought in for Kaitlyn, setting her down gently on the mattress. “Besides, there’s other things to think about.” She didn’t turn to look at me, but softly said, “Like what?” Feeling the need to comfort her did overwhelm me, as I stepped behind her, again encircling her waist. My hands worked up under her shirt, sliding to the taut tummy. “Like us and our baby. If you were taking care of Kaitlyn, you’d never have enough time to just enjoy the pregnancy. You’ll be in school like me, and then we’ll have the baby, that’s gonna take up time, too. We still have things to do for our future. Taking care of Kaitlyn, along with everything, you’ll wear out and I’m not going to let you do that to yourself.” Her hands slid under the shirt, covering mine, as she melted back against me, purring. “Mmm, how do you always know just what to say to make me feel better?” she asked, tilting her head to mine, granting me a soft touch of her lips. “Because I love you,” I stated simply enough once my lips were free enough. It only earned me another, yet decidedly longer and more enjoyable, kiss. The knock at the door sent me across the room in a heartbeat while Rene tucked our sister in. Ken opened the door, smiling slightly as he saw us both. Something in that smile suggested he had something on his mind. He looked a lot like dad, and to that degree me, I guess, with a tall, lightly muscled frame, strong facial features with a square jaw, and a shock of dark brown hair cut short but styled. After checking on his niece, he ushered the two of us into my bedroom. Though we both knew something was up and concern echoed in that bond between us, we remained apart, taking places on opposites sides of the room. “I just wanted to talk to you two about some things before tomorrow.” He closed the door slowly, ensuring it made little sound. “The attorney already told me about Kaitlyn, and frankly, I already knew from your dad. Melissa and I just want to make sure you understand it all, and thank you for taking care of her the past few days. Jenny’s said you took really good care of her.” “Will we be able to visit her, at least?” Rene asked. I could tell she was taking it better than before our little talk in the other room. “Oh, of course. In fact, your dad made me sign a contract of sorts, seeing how close you both got to her. There’s visitation rights, and during certain times of the year, you’ll be able to take her for a few days or something. I’ll get a copy of it for you both, if you want.” I swore Ken looked like he’d expected the question. Looking at my sister, she nodded and then I nodded. “Ok, is that all?” I asked, sensing something else. But he didn’t say anything for a moment, measuring his words carefully. “Well, there’s been some discussion between us, stuff you’re parents have told us over the years. It’d be good to touch bases on it, now, seeing things here.” A sick feeling started rising from the pit of my stomach, and it looked as if Rene felt it, too, holding her stomach the way she did. “You two were both extremely close once, closer than any brother or sister I’ve ever seen or heard of. And you’re parents always, well, kinda feared it might lead to things, if you catch the drift.” We couldn’t respond at first, a little worried maybe our secret wasn’t exactly so secret now. Finally, Rene answered, “You mean incest. They told us all about it, everything.” There was a long glance at us both from our uncle, standing there now with his arms crossed. Despite the expectation of stern seriousness, he actually looked amused. “Uh huh. Well, both of your parents weren’t the most understanding of folks, and maybe they had some reason not to, though what it could’ve been, I’ll never know. Anyway, it’s like this. You two are adults now, more than old enough to make those kinds of decisions for yourselves. If, if you have, or want to, pursue that kind of thing, you can tell us and the three of us will, one, keep the secret, and two, will support it. None of us agreed with what they did to you two as kids, trying to keep you two apart, but I can see you’ve not given into your parents.” Stunned silence filled the room, while Ken got ready to leave. Before he left, he turned back to us. “Just so you know, Melissa thinks you’ve gone that far at least and thinks its much further along than just that, too. Why she thinks that, you’d have to ask her. Not my place to say.” With his parting words, only stunning us more, he took his leave. Once I closed the door, Rene instantly embraced me. The reflex to hold her definitely took hold, but I never would pass up an opportunity. The conversation did have us reeling, leaving us just standing there for awhile. When she spoke, I looked down into her face. “Do you think they’d really understand?” I shrugged, unsure what to answer, unsure more about what had happened. “Not sure. It could be a trick, but then, its been a strange journey from where we started. This only adds to it.” She let out a giggle as she gave me a peck on the lips. “But, we could talk to them some more, probe them more.” “Maybe. It’s all too sudden, and we’ve kept this secret from our family for so long.” She looked at the door a mere moment. “But it’d go a long way to helping us, I just know it.” “Then we’ll probe them, see if it’s just a trick. And then maybe we’ll be able to actually tell them about the baby and our plans. They’d understand that, I hope.” Before I got a chance to answer, she threw her lips at me, locking quickly and holding them to mine. Not that I’d pass up the chance, especially so inviting an opportunity. We’d been very careful all week to keep our affections out of sight of the family, but since they were always trying to talk to us, it’d been almost impossible until after everyone else had gone to bed. Even as we both fell further into that kiss, the door opened suddenly, Zack standing there with a malicious grin on his face. It never even occurred to either of us to let go immediately. Actually, a protective instinct made my grip tighten, as hers did the same. This blond-haired kid with the beach boy looks just stood there for a moment. It didn’t go unnoticed that this horny boy looked at my sister a little too much, and not only a few times I caught him looking at various parts of her with lewd looks. Now, I held her close to me, giving him a very stern look. A minute passed before he actually did anything, a very tense minute. Without any indication, he took off running down the short hall and to the stairs leading to the rec room. The entire barn reverberated with, “Mom!” as he ran. I gave chase, knowing full well I was faster than him. He made it to the door leading to the house when I grabbed him. His sister, Teresa, a honey-blonde 13 year old almost as beautiful as Rene had been at that age, watched, concerned about me wrestling her brother down to the ground. He tried, unsuccessfully, to get in a few good hits, only to find himself pinned on his stomach, his wrists held by one hand behind his back. Though I have to give him an A+ for effort, ultimately his struggling proved useless. It didn’t stop his sister, though, from charging out the door calling for her mother, screaming about her brother and I fighting. In no time, while I held him there with Rene only then coming downstairs, did the older adults come into the room. Instantly, I was up on my feet, letting him up as he huffed angrily at me. “What’s going on?” Aunt Jenny asked after witnessing her nephew holding down her son. “And be quick about it, both of you!” Before I could get a chance to stop him, he blurted out, “They were kissing!” pointing a finger at first me then Rene. “I saw it! I saw it all!” Perhaps given a little more information on what Ken had earlier told us, he’d never have done anything. It’s funny now, but an eternity passed then for Rene and me, as the adults considered an appropriate response. Jenny just answered, “It’s perfectly okay for a brother and sister to kiss each other on the cheek sometimes.” “But mom, it wasn’t that kind of kiss. It was a full mouth, French kiss, tongues and everything. They were even holding each other like they were gonna to do it!” The red-faced Zack tried to get his mother to understand his words. Time seems to freeze at moments like that, back then, passing so slow. As I waited for the actual reaction, no longer able to find out what they thought in secret, Rene made her way up behind me, taking my hand. The adults certainly noticed the gesture. But Jenny just shrugged. “I’m not seeing a problem here, Zack, except you obviously intruded upon them. Now, go to your room and I’ll be up to give you a good, long lecture on privacy...again.” The look on his face was so priceless, I wished I had a camera to capture it, as realization struck him that his plan had somehow gone horribly awry. I couldn’t help notice his sister’s reaction during this, not looking disgusted really, just more curious than anything, looking at Rene then me. While Zack stomped off, I caught the grin on her face while she watched him, obviously pleased with her mother’s handling of the situation. She’d mentioned once when I talked to her he often went through her things, so the smug grin didn’t surprise me much. Once Jenny sent her daughter out of the room, the sudden thought of a confrontation entered my mind. Three adults on one side, Rene and me on the other. The air seemed to tense, but Melissa just pushed us both to the couch, not even attempting to pull us apart from each other. While my aunts and uncle took seats in the only chairs, we both waited, squeezing each other’s hands tightly while looking mutually apprehensive. “So, that was rather quick,” Melissa began. “Tell me, how long have you two been doing this?” No words came out, as afraid as both of us felt. The secret finally had come out, though thankfully our parents weren’t the ones hearing it. The silence didn’t abate, giving the three before us cause for concern as they exchanged looks. “You’re not in trouble, either of you, but it needs to come out,” Melissa said in a softer, more comforting tone. “It’s gotta be hard on both of you.” My head nodded with a start, with every muscle locked up right at that moment. Even if I wanted to get up, I’d never have made it off the couch. Jenny tried to smile, but her worried look at the other two did seem to echo in them. Ken looked at us both. “Look, I told you both not more than ten minutes ago you could tell us about this. Or what happened up there, was that actually the first time?” From the corner of my eye, I caught Rene shake her head. Her voice cracked and barely came out, but she did manage to speak. “It-it’s been g-going on for awhile.” The younger aunt nodded her head, then looked at her husband with a slight smile. “Thought so. But, then, why are you two acting so scared? Didn’t you believe your uncle?” The instant reaction was to shake our head, and paralyzed by fear, our heads did just that. Almost in unison, the adults let out a collective sigh. “Well, you two can stop acting like kids caught stealing or something, because you’re more than old enough to make your own decisions. This, while not something you should just go out blurting to the world, is a decision. Where it goes is up to you, not us,” Jenny said in a soft voice, mirroring Melissa. “There’s more, more than just sex,” Rene said, still shaky. But Ken nodded in response, saying, “Go ahead, I think we can take it. This, while a big surprise, can’t be any less difficult than what you’ve just admitted to.” It fell to me to say something finally, not wanting to let my now discovered lover take all the heat from this. “We-well, it could be...” As my voice trailed off, Rene pulled my hand to her stomach, laying it there with hers on top. Apparently the gesture did make them understand enough. Never did I develop a like, even a tolerance, for uncomfortable silence, but this felt stifling as everyone tried to grasp the situation. No one could speak, not even if they wanted to. About five minutes passed, I noticed, before I felt something had to be said, if only to break the quiet. “We didn’t intend for this to happen...not yet.” The words hung in the air, only causing more silence. While our family decided what to say next, Rene lifted my arm up and draped it around her shoulder, getting closer to me for comfort. My arms drew her as close as possible, holding her there as she held her stomach. The looks from Jenny didn’t exactly look good, but Melissa looked understanding, though confused, and a blank mask just appeared on Ken’s face, covering any emotions he might have had. The uncomfortable silence didn’t last as long, and it felt better to hear Melissa’s words first, considering the look on Jenny’s face. “You two eventually wanted a baby, then. And you’re not just having sex, you’re actually planning your lives together, right?” “Yes,” I answered, “We’ve even pledged ourselves to this, like a couple does. And I’d like to marry Rene, too. We both want to.” Holding a hand up to silence Melissa’s forthcoming words, Jenny just looked with that stern serious look I’d been waiting for. “Do you two actually think, for one minute, you can do any of that? Because in case you haven’t heard, if anyone catches on to what you’ve done, its going to get a lot more complicated. That little baby will have to deal with the fact that its parents are-” “Jen! That’s not helping!” Ken shouted. “Your sister would be acting like that. I thought you were more liberal than her.” “But this is too far. Sex is one thing, but a baby? And they still have to go to school too. They can’t possibly understand-” Standing up, Rene looked squarely at our older aunt, confident of her next words. “Both of us know, better than you do, how serious this is. We knew even when we were twelve about these things. It’s what nearly ended the special bond we shared. After years apart, yes, we did it then, but it also brought back that bond. Not you, not anyone, will keep us apart any longer. And as for school, as for what life will be like with the baby, it’ll be hard, but together we’ll manage. Together.” The words impressed them all, and it was actually Melissa who smiled. “Well said, well said.” “Aunt Jenny, this wasn’t taken lightly into,” I told her, looking at her to emphasis the point. “We fell in love a long time ago, maybe before we were born, and it took us a long time, a very long time, to understand and finally accept it. I love Rene and we don’t just want to live together and fuck, we want to be husband and wife, with a family and everything. Maybe the baby was unexpected now, but it’ll still be loved by two proud parents deeply in love with each other nonetheless. Our friends know and support us. Hell, they knew before we did and waited patiently until Rene and I knew.” “The night it all happened, Rick had taken mom and dad to Bradley when you’d been in the accident, Jenny. My boyfriend tried to rape me while he was gone, but when I kicked him out, not hurt but really angry, he said something that did hurt, because it was true. It’s what made me realize I did love Rick, more than anything. When he got back home, he got me to tell him and things, well, just went from there. It was always there, but we tried for all those years to fight off those feelings.” A Forbidden Love Ch. 07 Hearing the story, from her view, brought back very vivid memories. “It wasn’t exactly like we planned it. I had any number of girls throwing themselves at me, and I never slept with anyone before Rene, so it was something very special. That night was more special because she’d never been with anyone either. It was magical, but before we took those steps, we did discuss it. It wasn’t the heat of passion, it was a serious discussion of the consequences, but in the end, we’d agreed to enter this blessed state.” She smiled softly to me as she sat back down in my arms. Seeing a happy couple instead of just siblings, Ken smiled and grasped his wife’s hand. Even our mother’s sister let go of her feelings, seeing something special between us. “Apparently, you’ve thought about this better than anyone else. I wish, I sincerely wish, you two could marry, as happy as you look, but you know you can’t.” “Well, no, there might be a way. Don’t suppose you’ve got your birth certificates handy?” “No,” I answered. “Mom mentioned they were in some lock box somewhere.” Only then did it dawn on me what the key in the envelope might unlock. “Then again, I might just hold the key to the answer. But why would those be important?” Shaking his head quickly, Ken continued. “Maybe he was just joking all those years ago, but your dad once said that the names on the birth certificate didn’t have the same last name on them. He even said the parent’s names were different, though I really thought he was just pulling my leg, like he usually did.” “Why would he even say something like that though?” Rene chimed in. Instead of our uncle, Jenny, with a look of understanding, said, “Because, when you two were born, they were separated and the divorce was almost finalized. They even decided to split custody of you two. Now it makes sense. Technically, under the law, you two aren’t related, if those certificates weren’t changed.” She looked at Melissa and Ken. “Sharon never mentioned it to me about whether they’d been changed or not once they got back together, but its possible they couldn’t.” The news, while stunning, did give me some hope. My hand reached into the pocket holding the key, drawing it out. “This might be the answer. But I wonder why they never mentioned it to us.” “Do you know where that one is?” Ken asked. “Yeah, I’ll go get ‘em,” Rene answered as she jumped up, pulling me with her towards the house. While she searched dad’s study, I just watched her. She pulled out a folder from dad’s filing cabinet, then pulled out the sheets of paper. We studied them together, only then realizing we’d never looked closely enough at the certificates. Mine did indeed claim mom as my mother and dad as my father. Suprising us further, we found two certificates for Rene, along with a note attached to one. The note said simply, “Revised birth certificate,” in blue ink and looked identical to mine except for her name, the second, and older, one left the parent’s names blank, with only Rene, no last name given. “Now that’s interesting,” my voice stated while I studied the certificates. “Does that mean we’re not even related?” Her finger tapped at the birth date and the time. “If we aren’t, it’s a pretty big coincidence we were born in the same hospital only two minutes apart.” She smiled at me, having the same thought. “But we could use that. How would anyone know, considering the evidence? No mother, no father, nothing except a time and day and a first name. Even the doctors are different.” We returned to the rec room to listen in. From the bits and pieces I pieced together, mom and dad got back together only a week after our birth, but when they did the certificates, they’d done them thinking they’d be going their separate ways. Strange the way things turn out. After looking over the birth certificates, Ken decided to check into it further the next day while I went to the bank. With everything decided, it came time to retire to bed. It certainly had been a long day, and it’d be the first time in a couple days we could sleep together maybe without Kaitlyn waking us. * * * * * After Melissa took our sister off our hands for awhile, and Rene and I had some much needed time alone which we used very eagerly, I got out of the house, running to the bank on the note. I sat for most of my time in a conference room until finally someone brought me the box. Opening a much larger box than I’d expected, it contained several small boxes containing what I found out later were very old and valuable coins, a few pieces of jewelry meant for my sister, another box containing another five safety deposit keys (guess dad wanted to be safer than sorry), and a large vanilla envelope. While I waited on the other five boxes, thankfully smaller than the first, I opened the envelope, finding several file folders, but a lone letter caught my attention first. It explained a lot more than I thought anything could. Addressed to his kids, from the letter, dad had expected to tell us about the birth certificates but reading the letter, he must not have gotten the chance. He went on to write that yes, mom and dad did separate for awhile, deciding to each take one of us before they got back together. Mom wanted to take me, while dad would “adopt” Rene, since he was with someone else at the time. When they got back together, the birth certificates had just gone in, complete with “single birth” checked on each. Dad tried to get it changed later, but he ended up having to resubmit Rene’s, though with single birth on it, as if he and mom had adopted her. While Rene, the letter said, was my birth sister, legally, she was considered adopted, with no known blood relation. The packet contained tons of legal stuff, all adoption papers and such. I glanced through, and officially, it listed Rene as “abandoned” at the time on the certificate. Convenient. Once I’d gone through the boxes, I returned home and gave up the findings to my uncle. He’d gone to get a copy of the official birth certificate, with the very same information on the first birth certificate, a blank in the parents spaces. He did mention something about an adoption and going through the packet, he understood. Things couldn’t have been better for us. But things weren’t finished, not by Aunt Jenny’s standards. The baby, she said, needed a proper home to be born into, and she insisted on that adamantly. “You two will go through the next month of school, graduate, then get married. As your mother’s only living family, I’ll make sure to prepare everything back in California for it.” Since everything came out, Rene and I didn’t try hiding our feelings from the family, only incensing Zack, who carefully avoided me that day. Probably better for him, since I still wanted to talk to him about how he looked at Rene. But, holding each other, we shook our heads no to the plans, stopping the conversation. “We’ve lived on this farm all our lives, and this is where we finally became a couple. It’s only right we get married here, too.” The look went between them without moving to us. “You don’t want to do it here, not in this state. At least another state would be better,” came the answer, spoken by Melissa but echoed by the other two. “How about our house in Rhode Island? It’s right on the beach and everything. It’d be very romantic.” The thought of a romantic wedding on the beach did appeal, and it certainly wouldn’t attract unwanted attention as much as one on the farm. We agreed and began making more plans. A Forbidden Love Ch. 08 Chapter 8: Two Happy Days A dizzying month passed before graduation. Uncle Ken and Melissa (she didn’t like being called aunt) took our sister back to their home, raising her as their own. They didn’t have any kids yet themselves when they took on the task of parenting, but somewhere along the way, Melissa did get pregnant in only two months. With the money we now had and the house all to ourselves, Rene and I threw ourselves, with what time we had between school and after school activities, our jobs, and hanging out with friends, into redecorating much of the house. We took our parents bedroom, cleaning it out and moving in the water bed. Dad might have gotten it for me, but Rene loved it more than I did. We fixed up the nursery Kaitlyn had occupied, went through the stuff our parents had collected, and generally made it our home. A lot of our parents still filled the house, but interspersed among it all was us, things we got together. We had to explain to a lot of people the “actual” relationship between Rene and me and the “truth” of Rene’s origins, even having the school records fixed with the oversight. Some of the older teachers still felt we shouldn’t have romantic feelings for one another, but most of the younger ones, seeing how happy we were even with our parents’ passing, did accept it. Word got out around school and suddenly I found myself the envy of every guy. To this day, I’m not sure how it got out, but once word spread I’d managed the feat so many had tried, it only made them more envious. With the school and then most of the town knowing of the truth, we informed the college, telling them about our plans to marry and about the pregnancy. They agreed to let us live outside the dorm on our own, waiving the usual requirement. As graduation neared, the final arrangements on our parents estate were settled, only waiting for the probate to finish up. Since mom’s car was totaled, and the accident had undeniably been caused by the other driver, we received a substantial check. In the end, most of the money wound up in a bank, knowing we might need it in the future. I still had my car, only a couple years old, which Rene adored, and I started driving dad’s Explorer. But, thankfully, all of the wedding arrangements at the time fell into other hands. The invitations, rings, stuff we’d personally want to at least help with, waited for us until after graduation. Graduation, it was for us a big day, a day we celebrated with our friends. Even Ben came home on leave to watch Ally’s day. Throughout the ceremony, Rene’s hand held mine as the speakers spoke. The morning sun shone down on all of us, and with the diplomas handed out and the speakers finished, the class gave a big shout, finally finished with high school. That night, when every graduate was celebrating, Rene insisted on having the biggest party at our house. Somehow in a months time, the news of the impending nuptials spread around town, though a lot of people didn’t exactly approve of it, but they couldn’t stop it. So, we shared our home with our classmates, and sure, there was a lot of frolicking and loud music, but one of the benefits of a house in the country, the neighbors are too far away to hear, or care. Once the graduation’s excitement died down, it became time for us to set to work on the wedding. Our uncle wanted a weekend wedding, on a Saturday, and after talking to a few ministers and justices of the peace, he set a date two weeks after graduation. Spending more time in Rhode Island at his home than at our house, we didn’t get to see our friends enough but we’d invited them earlier, so they knew about the absence. It took Melissa almost an entire day to convince Rene to go out shopping together, but with a little well-placed encouragement from her future husband, Rene reluctantly went out. My uncle took me out to get a tux, then we went looking for rings. With all the money coming out of what mom and dad left us, the only limit were the ones we wanted to set. When it came to the rings, we’d thought the idea of using our parents rings felt like a good idea, to honor their memory. Then Rene insisted on buying new rings after seeing the inscriptions on their bands, so we spent a better part of a day looking for the right ones. Once the rings were selected, we spent our last night single curled up together. The night before the wedding, sleeping in separate rooms in Uncle Ken’s house, it was the first time in a long time we’d slept alone. It proved hard, but she called me on my cell phone, helping a little. The night alone didn’t sit well with her, and not seeing each other the next day for hours, almost unbearable. We talked for awhile, losing track of time in the process. A very loud cracking noise woke me up the next morning with a start. I hurried to get to breakfast while Ken supervised the final arrangements, and once breakfast was done, I got ready for the ceremony. Something in me held the urge to seek out Rene. When my best man, Alec, arrived, he gave me a message straight from my bride, with the same sentiments as my own. The one thing I didn’t feel that day, one everyone said I should’ve had, was fear. Instead, I leapt, not blindly but seeing clearly, into this willingly. Unlike my parents, the home of my aunt and uncle was an estate, with a spacious view and a large private beach. The seating near the waters on some artificial grass laid over the sand, while the ivy-covered arch we’d be married under was set up on a platform. I stood under the arch, Alec and Chris standing to my left, the justice standing behind me as I watched Rene, all dressed in a simple white gown. The veil covered her face, but she still stood out in it, her hair flowing about. The dress didn’t have the usual frilly, bulging appearance, instead trim and hugging her form with a low cut front and no sleeves, only thin straps draped around her shoulders. She’d managed to find something classy but sexy. I stood under the sun in a black tuxedo, absorbing every ray, but the heat went up another notch. Her knowing smile spread across her lips as she moved slowly towards me, feeling the effect she had on me. As Ken handed her arm to me and went to sit with his wife, the two of us turned to face the minister. While the ceremony passed in a blur, and much of the day that followed, it was a happy one, with a lot of celebrating involved. Finally being able to call Rene my wife, it felt somehow complete now, the rings on our fingers, holding each other in full view of everyone. Those attending congratulated us both, saying how happy we looked together. When night came, the party started to die down enough for us to leave. Our family had pitched for a nice honeymoon in the Bahamas which we‘d be leaving for the following day, and we still had our wedding night to ahead of us. With a lot of thanks, we left everyone to head home, two hours away still. The car Rene drove now had already been packed in anticipation and we headed off, wanting our first night as man and wife to be in our own bed. Though long, the trip did give us a chance to talk, both of us fighting the desire to do much more. Near ten, we pulled up into the driveway to a darkened house. Still dressed in tuxedo and gown, I pulled up close to the house. Crickets chirped in the fields, fireflies danced in the warm night air. Something hung in the air, romantic and sensual. Something about summertime, and we both felt it. Without delaying, we ran to the door, grabbing each other just before either of us reached it, a long kiss giving us pause. Mirth filled our hearts, the rings still feeling so new, such bliss in the night after having to wait so long. We were married and didn’t care to hold back now, though, of course, we held back a little, waiting to get to our room for that. Once the door stood unlocked and wide open, I lifted up my sister’s body in my arms as she held me by the neck. Laughter filled the air for a few moments as a foot crossed the threshold of our happy home. Even as the rest of me passed through the doorway, our lips again lovingly embraced. With only one more thing waiting to confirm the marriage, more of formality really, I carried my bride up the stairs to our own bedroom, laying her down on the swishing bed. Rene had removed the veil hours ago, leaving it the car when we’d gotten out, and looking at her now, dark hair contrasting the white dress, her angelic features actually glowing even in the darkened room, it all felt so perfect. She turned on the lamps by the bed as I moved to open the windows in the room. In the nights leading up to this night, during the summer months, we’d enjoyed listening to the summer night sounds while we made love. Sometimes during the previous summer, when all was quiet in the house, Rene would lead me out to the field with quilts draped about us providing our only cover. Lying on one, shielded by another, we’d sleep there until dawn came. The barn did have it’s own private backdoor, convenient for us those nights. Out there, making love under the stars before falling asleep in the arms of the other, it only helped our love grow more. Reminiscing on those days, I felt her come up behind me, even as her hands moved around my waist. As a soft smile borne of love crossed my face, turning my head to her, I placed my own hands on her arms. “Penny for you thoughts, my love?” she asked so sweetly. She followed my eyes out the window we stood at. “Just thinking about last summer,” came my response. “Thinking about, after we’re finished in here, maybe heading outside to sleep in the field. You know how the night soothes you.” Her soft moan reverberated against my back. “When did you get so romantic?” “Isn’t that what you love about me already?” During our entire affair, when I could get away with it, we’d have dinner by candlelight, cuddle next to the fireplace the nights our parents weren’t home, even surprising her with flowers delivered to her at school or work, delivered by a florist under a nickname I’d come up with. Still, thinking about the little things always helped, and being married didn’t give me license to drop the romance. I turned in her arms, drawing her closer into me. Softly, our lips touched for a long, happy moment. In our bliss, nothing could destroy it at that moment. Outside, everything disappeared while we enjoyed each other. Rene was now my wife, my best friend, my sister, my soulmate. Together at last, we reveled in the actually union of our hearts and souls now. With our hands now holding on to each other, she pulled me with encouragement to the bed. As she stood there, a mischievous grin appearing, her hands broke free and one finger started to wiggle at me to come hither. No hesitation slowed me, only a playful feeling now, slipping the jacket off, followed by the tie. In her style, she’d strip the shirt off and the pants after. While I stood before her, I shrugged off my shoes, tossing them away, even as she did the same. The look in her eyes, a desire I’d seen many times, forced her hands to rip open my shirt. Not wasting time, as her fingers kneaded the exposed chest, she licked and kissed my skin, starting low and moving up quickly. Once she’d moved to my lips again, my hands forced her body against mine, grabbing her hips and pulling them against mine. While surprised, she delighted in the aggressiveness I’d displayed in the passion of the moment. The dress took only a few moments to release. The straps holding it on her shoulders slipped off easily, and from behind, my fingers worked the zipper down. The dress fell off her as she wiggled her supple body against me, only further exciting us both. Even though still engrossed in the fiery tongue play, we both smiled as she moaned softly into my mouth. Her arms encircled my neck, keeping my head close to hers. Pooled now at her feet, she wore only her black silk panties and the sheer black nylons. It didn’t take long for her to remedy the situation, throwing my arms down as she worked the shirt off me, then began unfastening my pants. Working the buckle in her frantic pace proved too much, taking much too long and frustrating her. While I gave a soft chuckle after we released from the kiss, I quickly undid the belt, hearing her giggle in a very girlish manner. Once she tugged the pants down, pulling my socks off while at it, we left the clothes lying there, laying down on the bed, undulating with our bodies. While we let lay there, facing each other on our sides, love boiling in our hearts and passion in every other part of our bodies, we kissed tenderly. Our hands, controlled more by our hearts at the time, just held on, not moving. We rolled around without breaking our slow lip lock, until, propped up on my elbows, I was over her as she lay on her back. Her left hand sought out mine, finding the ring she’d put on what seemed years ago then. “I love you, my heart,” she stated in such a soft voice filled with her love. “With all my soul, I love you. Never will I stop loving you.” Only one response, the only one imaginable, came out, equally filled with every ounce of honesty in me, “Dear, sweet Rene, I love you with all that I am. With this night, we will always be together as we are now.” Before either of us could say anything more, our bodies finally ready to come together in glorious union for the first time as husband and wife, our lips fell upon each other, letting all that was between us pass. Her hands pushed away my briefs enough for my legs to finish the rest of the task, then with some effort, her panties joined them on the floor. My hands, in caressing her things, rolled down the stockings in slow strokes, until one, then the other landed on the clothes. Now, fully unclothed as the day we’d come into the world, as we were so many times over a year and a half’s time, our desires, shaped by love, brought a slow penetration, my hardened penis sinking in the vaginal hole. Without any wild passion to drive us, we made slow, sweet love to each other, occasionally whispering sweet nothings between us. Expressions of our love weren’t limited to mere words, our touch giving other little signs. Then we’d return to kissing or just look at each other, watching our lover’s face during our coupling. Time flew away around us, a forgotten concept, lost to both of us. By the time we lay spent, holding each other with our tongues giving silent praise to each other, the small digital alarm clock showed 12:13. Seeing it, we both just laughed before resuming our kiss. Listening to the night beyond the windows, I remembered what I’d promised, getting up off the bed. She whimpered in need, so wanting me close to her, but I pulled her up, grabbing a quilt from the bed and lovingly draping it around her shoulders. She held it about her, a soft smile heightening her beauty. As I grabbed another from the closet, just holding it, she stepped out the door, running down the stairs. Before long, I’d caught up with her in the field where she stood in wait, giggling. She dropped the quilt and stepped into me, holding me around the neck again. For the thousandth time, our lips touched, savoring what passed between us. Giving pause to the moment, I spread out her quilt, finding her body on it in the light of the full moon and twinkling stars above. On my knees now, I crawled over to her. She nudged me down onto my back gently, getting on me, straddling my crotch. Even after I’d cum in her back inside, I’d never gotten soft, just slightly limp, but her nearness again sent blood rushing to my stiff dick pressed against her cunt, right inside the folds of the cleft. She sat there, sliding her hips to tease me, realizing the effect it had on her button as it did on me. In the darkness, only silhouetted in the little light, our eyes found each other. With a forward motion of her hips, she brought her hole to my tip, then pressed down until the head popped in. Soon, she filled up again with my cock, as she braced herself with her hands on my chest. I reached up, finding her pliant globes of flesh, squeezing them, playing with her hard nipples, and lifting my head to suck on them. While I ravished her tits, she rocked back and forth on my lap, cradling my head in her arms, pressing me into her as she would her own baby suckling for nourishment. Soon, I laid back down, holding onto her hips while she arched her back, now fully in the throes of an orgasm, her ecstatic cries into the night almost seeming to unsettle the crickets. She continued, quickening her pace now, still trembling and not giving herself much time to recover. As she thrust herself down, I thrust hard up into her, then fell back out while she pulled her hips up. Leaning above me, her hands on either side of my head holding her up, she pounded hard, beginning to glisten with small beads of sweat. Each time her body began to tense in orgasmic fury, I held her tight, never letting up on the incessant drilling. Each cry grew louder, each one a more determined proclamation of her love, amidst the incomprehensible moans and groans. With each one, she grew noticeably more tired but never relented, putting everything into the strokes. In what could only be described as the culmination of our labors, my fingers gripped her so tight, I thought I’d crush her under my grip. She collapsed on my body, holding my shoulders with her nails clawing at the skin. With her orgasm and mine, our cries became one long song, our expression of love in a moment of extreme ecstasy. So loud was the sound we made together, the night instantly turned silent to listen. Her pussy clenched at my cock with such strength, almost trying to hold it in her forever, it felt like it might actually succeed. Our cum mixed together inside the same womb our baby grew in, draining out only once the plug holding it in started to soften inside. Without moving, I pulled the second quilt over us, still lodged in her sleeping body. The need for sleep claimed me soon enough, holding my wife in the warm night air. A Forbidden Love Ch. 09 Chapter 9: Summertime Joys and Woes Waking up in the early morning sun, arms wrapped around Rene, I couldn’t imagine anything better. Birds began to sing, echoing in their song what I felt. Curled up against me, her back pressed against my chest, and hair carefully draped over her neck, she looked positively peaceful. In the night, the quilt had been kicked aside, leaving us both fully exposed in the spooned position. With one arm tucked under her head, the other on holding my hand on her stomach, I noticed in the light the sparkle of the diamond in her ring. I’d liked to have let her sleep, but we had to get up to get ready before we could leave. I wormed my hand free of hers and lifted her hair away to expose her neck. Sensing me, she began to stir from her rest, pressing further in me. Already pressed against her firm ass, she aroused my tired cock from its sleep. Not seeing any further sign of her waking, my mouth latched onto her tender neck, sucking as I pulled away. A smile appeared on her lips as she arched her neck towards me, purring in delight from the attention. Something said she was awake now, but I decided to continue, nuzzling on her silky skin. The prolonged sensation while I moved my tongue, laving over her skin, down to her shoulder, caused a reaction as she reached behind me and pulled my ass, pushing my cock into the crack of her cheeks. She pulled her hips away a moment, moving my hard member between her legs, cooing as it rubbed against her already eager and wet lips. “Oh, sweetheart, what a nice way to be awoken.” My arms drew her as close as possible. “But I didn’t wake you for that, though it would be nice. Remember, we still have the plane to catch.” “Right,” she relented in a reluctant tone. “Do we really have to? Can’t we get a flight tomorrow or something?” Before I could answer, I laid a soft kiss on the back of her neck. “The sooner we get there, the sooner we can spend every moment with only each other, baby.” Cooing in response, wiggling her butt against me, she smiled softly. “But, if it’s not too late, we can have a little fun.” Enthusiasm took over her as she grabbed my wrist, looking at the time. “It’s a little before seven now. Think we’d have enough time?” The times ran through her head quickly. “We have a half hour if we start right now, maybe longer if we wait until we get to the airport to eat anything.” Guessing at the times, I nodded, all the incentive she needed to jump on me. Before I could stop her, she’d impaled herself, already stroking. Instead of getting faster, she maintained a slow rhythm as she fell on my chest, her gorgeous breasts mashed against me. While our tongues explored each other in furious abandon, she began to speed her strokes, finding soon my hips meeting her. Firmly entrenched in that morning kiss, her orgasm flooding over her. For the first time, I actually heard her growl, a low, almost dangerous sound. It caught me off guard at first, but the desire in her blue eyes just made me smile as she released from the kiss. Sitting up, she started to ride with abandon, flying up and down. One hand ran down her neck and chest, pausing a moment to squeeze her breast into her, then continuing downwards to her smooth mound. The other stroked her cheek as she moaned loudly, bouncing wildly about. For my part, I just watched in amazement at the woman riding me like a bucking bronco, holding onto her hips to steady her. Another orgasm hit, sending a gush of warm cum over my cock. Despite the enticement to release, I held back with effort, wanting her to really cum hard. As she cried out, “I love you, Rick! Oh, God! Oh, baby! Oh! OH YES!” a grin grew on my lips. Amazingly, she didn’t get enough, only moving faster and coming down harder. Lost in the moment, she missed it as I helped her out, practically slamming her down on me now. Before long, she came again, cum trickling from her cunt down my shaft. Screams of pleasure echoed across the empty field, and still she continued. Even as my own orgasmic burst began to rise, her body indicated the impending fourth orgasm. She bent down while still pounding me hard, kissing me softly a moment before her hands clenched my shoulders firmly just as my grip tightened on her hips. As one, we came, mixing our love juices together with cries lovingly laced, in the volume we screamed them at, affirmations of our love. The time we spent lying there, cuddled up against each other in exhaustion and looking at the world in a new light, once more felt this was meant to happen. No words went between us, and I looked back on our lives for the first time then, at all the strange and wonderful little things to happen to us. I wondered if maybe our parents’ attempts to separate us might have been the catalyst to actually bring us this close. Either way, I’d found my soulmate and didn’t intend to loosen my grip on her. When we’d gotten energized enough, we ran back into the house, stopping here and there to hug and kiss the way newlyweds often do. Something about being married, I realized, about it being perfectly okay in the eyes of the law and God, it made couples feel suddenly free to show their love for one another. The same was true for us, and nothing would stop us from expressing that love. It was decided we’d shower together to “hurry” things along, but it really just turned into a quickie in the shower, as we made love with her against the walls. Once cleaned and out, I ran out to the car to clean it out while she called for a cab. We packed and waited together, making out on the couch until a honk alerted us to the yellow cab coming up the driveway. With everything prepared, we ran outside, bags in hand. Most of our clothing consisted of light, easily removed items, though a fair bit of Rene’s bags were filled with lingerie, not that it would see much use. The trip to the airport took too long for us, and only when we offered up to the cabbie our blessed marital state did he understand, smiling and winking at us both. He offered us congratulations and wishes for a “good” honeymoon before we left him at the curb. Checking in, we’d quickly realized we needed food and still had plenty of time. At the terminal lounge, we ate and talked, unable to keep our hands off the other. People walking past to catch flights or pick up incoming passengers would look at us and smile, seeing only a happy newlywed couple. On the flight, sitting side by side, our hands roamed a little more freely while we offered up little kisses, and not confined strictly to lips either. Even the long flight didn’t dim our feelings and passions, but without attracting more attention, the kisses and touching alone had to suffice. By the time the plane landed, I could even see from the way her hips danced in the seat she needed satisfaction soon. No better off than my wife, the shorts I wore bulged incessantly from her constant attentions, leaving me to awkwardly walk in the aisle when the time came to get off the plane. A week later, fully satisfied and yet oddly unfulfilled, we boarded the plane headed home. Over the week, never did we leave each other, joyfully holding hands and fondling a lot the few hours a day we would leave the room. Despite our constant love making, it came time to return back home, which meant behaving ourselves. Though we managed, it wasn’t easy for us to finally be so free to be affectionate and yet restrain ourselves still in some ways, the very ways we most wanted each other. On the plane, through the terminal, all the way home, nothing more than kissing, hands, and words passed between us until at last we’d reached the safety of our home. No sooner did the door close than Rene leaped on me, wrapping legs around my waist and arms holding my neck. We wore only shorts and light t-shirts, but with a frenzy of passion and pent up desire, the clothes flew off, landing about the house in chaotic piles. Once free, her body hit the door with a thud, but she didn’t care, reaching a hand to guide me into her. Holding her and kissing furiously as though she’d vanish in a moment, she responded with equal zeal, throwing herself into the moment. The smile she bore as we kissed should’ve told me something crossed her mind, but feeling her clenching muscles inside her tunnel caused a gasp as it gripped my cock. My eyes turned to study her face, just happily smiling as the walls contracted again, tighter this time. Almost without thinking about it, she braced herself and began moving up on the stake impaling her in a slow motion, falling back on it, tightening then releasing grip. Lips met again in intense desire, reveling in sliding with the other set, tongues lashing swiftly against the other’s, tasting our mixed saliva. It took only a few moments as the pace quickened for her to start moaning. The way her body shuddered and tensed, it would be only seconds before she’d cum. The timing was good, with my balls sending sperm towards the shaft thrusting in her. When cum started spurting up into her, warming her womb and love tunnel, it set off her own orgasm with a fury I’d not expected. Her lips pushed hard against mine as we rode out the climactic fury together. We’d become so busy together neither of us heard a car pull up outside, and so when someone knocked at the door, we almost jumped out of our skins, realizing whoever stood outside probably heard the last few seconds. Rene ran quickly into the kitchen to clean herself, grabbing her shirt and shorts as she flew away. The shorts I’d worn sat on the mantle above the fireplace, waiting to be reclaimed. Once I’d jumped back into them, I opened the door, finding a grinning Elisa and Alec holding each other. A silence passed between us before they came in, pushing me aside. “You’d think you two would’ve gotten enough of that already. If not over the past year, then at least in the past week.” With a grin spread from ear to ear, I almost wanted to beat Alec down, but almost as instantly, I started laughing, slapping him on the shoulder. Elisa searched around for Rene, finding her in the kitchen soon enough. My eyes fell upon the small box she carried, Elisa giving it up to her friend as she came out now fully dressed. With everyone gathered, I sat down in the recliner and found my lovely wife in my lap in the blink of an eye, her arms thrown around my neck as she straddled my legs. “Will you two cut it out already?” Her friend’s face scrunched up in mock disgust, Rene only stuck her tongue out at Elisa before giving a mouthful of her tongue. “You guys are impossible! Before anyone realizes, this house’ll be filled with babies.” Laughter erupted in the room, each of us imagining all the babies. While she turned back around and sat down in my lap with my arms around her, Rene looked back at me. “Well, hon, think we could? We never did discuss how many kids we wanted.” A thought crossed my mind, seeing her game. Elisa and Alec didn’t know we’d already settled on a number, but the opportunity proved too good. “I dunno, a hundred’s a good round number?” Her eyes widened in surprise. “Only a hundred?! You think so small. I was thinking about two hundred.” The looks from our friends on the sofa wasn’t the look of surprise, only annoyance. “Well, don’t let us stop you then!” stated Alec, gesturing with his arm to the stairs in a sweep. “If you want that many, better get started quick.” After a few seconds of looking at one another, letting the moment pass, we all ended up laughing hysterically again. Finally, wiping tears from my eyes, having laughed so hard, I asked, “So what brings you two by? Not to hear the two us going at it. And better not be just to stop us.” I shot them both a glare, prepared fully to throw them out, or so they thought by the looks in their eyes. “Hey, just thought we’d pay a visit to our old friends, s’all,” he answered, holding up his hands as if in some way it’d defend him. “We’d known you were coming home sometime today, just not when.” Rene nodded and smiled. “Oh, don’t let him scare you.” A hand slapped my chest to control me, and I took advantage, feigning hurt. Almost immediately, she responded the way I wanted, giving me a soft kiss on my bare skin. “When are you two going to make that big ‘C’ and follow us? You two look positively adorable together, and very happy to boot.” Elisa let go of one of his hands to hold out her hand, giddiness getting the better of her as she bounced in the seat. Suddenly a bouncing woman in my lap joined her in giggling, resulting in a flood of girlish questions. Alec and I looked on bemused while the two women studied the ring on Elisa’s hand, a nice diamond, though small. Not that I expected he could afford more. Though Alec had managed a scholarship to the Eastern Connecticut State U, he came from a farming family and despite all the hard work he put into his job, I knew he was lucky he could afford the ring she now wore. Once the ladies finished conversing on, amazing as it sounds, the ring, I asked the question on my mind, and Rene’s, “When did you pop the question?” Holding the cuddling creature beside him, Alec gave her a look, deciding between them who would answer. The decision made, he responded, “Actually, at your reception, just after you guys left. I’d planned on doing it the next day, but the beach and sunset, something just felt right, so I popped the question.” “Yeah, but we haven’t been able to celebrate. My mom caught us in my room before we could do anything and booted Alec out.” The look of disappointment hid the stronger passion underneath. “She’s said if she catches Alec in the house again without supervision, she’ll sick dad on him.” A thought crossed my mind, and before Rene could offer her sympathies, it came out. “Well, why don’t you move out? We got a nice room you two could share, and its definitely more private than at home.” Looking at Rene, I found it surprising to see her thrilled expression. “And it seems my better half certainly likes the idea.” “You’ve gotta do it! You two can’t keep your hands off each other forever, and you dad, he would probably do something. It’s so like him.” Somehow, in the few moments Rene spoke, her words infected both of them more than mine had, and it didn’t bother me in the least. I hugged her close as the couple across from us looked at each other then back at us. “And you two wouldn’t mind? I mean, man, you two just got married and still seem quite happy to have the house to yourselves.” Rene threw him a dirty look, silencing him immediately as he sought comfort from his fiance. “Not in the house. The barn. With a little work, someone could put an entire kitchen in there and still leave you two room enough for a little house. It’d be great.” “I’d want to pay you guys something, of course. This is too generous an offer, still.” His parents had taught Alec a lot of good values, those that most counted. It was pointless to argue with him, so I thought quickly on the matter, coming up with a fair number for his income. Before I could give an answer, he stated clearly, “250 a month for us both in rent, plus utilities.” I just nodded, knowing he’d never let me go below that amount. It seemed above what he could afford, but he’d set the price and trying to work him lower would insult his values. “If you think it’s fair, then done.” “We can work on it this summer, get everything fixed up. Between the old gang, we can install an entire kitchen easy, and dad knows a guy who’ll get you great deals on appliances and materials.” He took a moment to give Elisa a great big kiss, surprising her but not unwanted. Rene just pulled me to my feet and lead me into the kitchen. The girlish giggle was unmistakable as she turned and drew herself into me. “Have I told you how much I love you today?” “One more won’t hurt,” was all I could answer. “I love you, Rick, and you keep surprising me.” I closed my eyes as she pulled my head down to meet her lips, opening her mouth slightly. Her tongue lovingly stroked mine before separating. With all the love I felt for her shining in my eyes, I just said the only thing I could, “I love you, Rene.” * * * * * With the summer on and more than enough in the bank for a little remodeling, I called the guys the following week, giving me and Rene time to enjoy each other. The phone rang for the first two days, mostly friends and family calling to check in with us. When someone wanted to come over, Rene made it clear we didn’t want visitors, wanting privacy. Every night, we’d walk out to the field in only quilts, making love in the tall grass under the starlight. During the day, we lounged around, having sex when it suited us, which proved to be quite often. Most times, we’d collapse in exhaustion, passing out together. With more than enough food in the house after a quick stop at the store on Sunday, we spent the rest of the week in and around the house. By the following Monday, the guys arrived and between us we planned out how to proceed. The girls all gathered inside, talking about the latest news among our group. The heat outside was unbearable and beads of sweat began to quickly gather on our skin. Alec and I drove to a nearby town with the other guys in their trucks. With a lot of time to kill, I got to work buying the materials and appliances, setting the date for the arrival of the heavier items, helping to load the materials up. By the time we got back, I could see a trail of smoke rising from the back porch of the house and a smell of hickory and honey hung in the air. The women had gone out to the store in our absence, deciding to reward our hard work with a barbeque. It took only a half hour to unload and stack all the wood and materials, then Rene came up to me wearing a nice little white sun dress of very light fabric, handing me a cold Coke bottle after running if over her ample cleavage. Behind me, thirteen guys’ tongues hung out limply, drooling at the sight. I just gave her a deep kiss before she left me, grinning and waving at the guys. That night we all gathered on the large porch, sitting wherever in the dim light. We talked for hours, eating and snaking on the food, drinking cold drinks. None of us could yet get beer or anything, so we made do with sodas. Eventually the party ended and everyone started going home, with the promise of work ahead. During the week, the guys would come over in the morning and work, when our jobs didn’t pull us away. I saw little of my new bride for much of the day at first while she went out looking for a better job, and my own job left me with little time in the day to see her. At night, when we both had all the time we wanted, we’d sleep curled up in the field, rising with the sun to make love again before getting ready for the day. The weekend came, and all of us spent long hours either in the barn, or guest house, as we started calling it, or dad’s workshop, working wood. I’d never developed the skill with wood dad had, but I managed well enough to do the counters and cabinets myself. By the time Rene got a job at the lingerie store in the same mall I worked in, the kitchen had begun to come together. Then, out of the blue, she announced she’d made an appointment with a doctor, feeling far past due for one. Despite my reluctance to leave the project even for a few hours, it took only a little enticement to see the error of judgment. Two days later, we sat in the doctor’s office listening to our child’s heartbeat, smiling and holding each other, kissing, all in all, overjoyed. We’d also learned the baby was a she. While most of my buddies wanted nice strapping boys for their first kid, something in me hoped we’d have a girl first, a beauty just like her mother. It took a solid two weeks to do all the work on the new kitchen. With a lot of excitement that day, we all pitched in to help Alec and Elisa move in, though there was some sadness between Rene and me, thinking we’d have to sleep inside in the summer nights. To our surprise, the first night, I caught sight of our friends outside, urging us to join them in the field. With quilts in hand (we’d stopped by this point of covering ourselves walking out), we all went off into the field in the moonlight, though moving to different parts. On the quilt, with the sounds of Elisa’s moans and Alec’s groans nearby, we made love to each other like we’d been doing, holding each other then and when we fell asleep. A Forbidden Love Ch. 09 Two weeks after our friends moved in, on a Sunday afternoon, I’d gathered with Alec to discuss with him a new project. It was a wish since Rene and I were kids, one our parents never would give in to, to have a pool. With a lot of money sitting unused in the bank, we’d felt it time to indulge, before summer ended and no one would do the work. So, sitting in the kitchen planning out a grand deck after we’d gotten the plans on the pool, Alec and I drew up some plans, as Rene came into the kitchen. “Ally’s gonna be in town soon. Think we can manage a nice dinner for her soon?” She held herself nicely, but she’d finally begun to show, though only slightly. It was looking like our little girl would be a dainty thing from the start. “Sure, we can whip up the barbeque, get everyone together with her-” I stopped on my words, raising an eyebrow as I realized what she’d said. “Ben coming with her?” Something caught in her throat, then I saw a tear roll down her cheek. It took both of us guys a second to realize something was wrong, but husbandly instinct took over as I got to my feet and pulled her trembling body into me. Weakly, she put her arms around me as she sobbed something I couldn’t make out, the words muffled against my chest. A little rocking helped her to speak, but she only tilted her head away from my chest, laying her cheek against me. “She called just now. A training accident, they said. He got shot in a damned training accident...” The words took a long time to sink in, though they were clear enough. But, they didn’t want to sink in, or rather, my brain didn’t want to accept them. I heard Alec get up quickly, knowing he’d be running down to the other house. It made sense, since Ben had been as close to Elisa as the three of us. He’d been sorta the big brother to us all in our youth, as the oldest one, but hearing he’d been killed, it just didn’t take full effect at first. I went numb, only keeping enough strength to keep comforting my wife. A few days passed before his body was brought home to be buried, a grieving Ally and infant Beth close behind. The funeral was short, thankfully. The gang had gathered together and stuck around Ally, trying to console our friend in her darkest hour. It certainly helped us all to know we wouldn’t forget Ben and would help each other through it. The night of the funeral, we gathered at the house, ready to celebrate the passing of our friend in the only way we knew he’d have liked. He never thought much about death, but we all remember him saying how boring and depressing funerals were. He’d wanted to be celebrated, to know we’d go on living. It was taboo for anyone to wear black, excepting a small black armband or black ribbon as a sign of respect. With a banquet of food straight from the grill, we laughed and reminisced about our friend, talking. The party helped to cheer up Ally, but her loss was a loss we all felt to some degree, making us, including Rene and me, thankful of what we had. Rene insisted on having Ally stay with us that night, while everyone went home. I set up a bed for Ally and Beth, then returned to the master bedroom to hold my wife. We both just held each other, feeling no desire to disturb the woman in the bedroom next door and add to her grief by flaunting our love. A subdued atmosphere between us didn’t diminish our feelings, only held them at bay during that time out of respect. A couple days later, the house was ours again, when Ally went back home to pack up. She’d made arrangements to take advantage of a scholarship to Yale, with a lot of help from family and especially friends. We all pitched in to help her in some way. Her parents bought a nearby house with a large yard and let her rent it, deciding it was better than her living in an apartment in the city. They let her stay there rent-free, agreeing to pay for her living expenses four years. Amidst the chaotic start of our first year of school, the whole gang gathered for one last time, for one last party a couple days before. All of us ended up going to nearby schools, easily, maybe a couple hours away from our home town at most, but it was the last time for awhile we’d all be so close. Whether staying at home, getting an apartment, or living in a dorm, we all got together for one more night. Everyone brought something and there was more than enough food and drink to go around, even as we talked though the early evening hours. The pool contractor had begun so we’d set up a large canopy in the field with enough chairs and blankets for everyone. Though showing more now, we laid out on a quilt throughout. I was more than happy to get up and grab things for her, as much as I loved her. During one of these little trips, I went inside to grab some ice cream for Rene, finding Ally in the kitchen. When I entered, feeling suddenly out of place, she looked up, wiping her eyes quickly and managing a weak smile. Standing there while looking at her, she looked down at the table. “Sorry, I just needed some time alone,” she apologized. “Really, you don’t have to explain. It’s been a hard month on you, I know.” I decided to sit and talk to her. None of us knew the secret pain she hid, braving forward like a trooper and putting on a mask. “You wanna talk about it?” Ally rested her hands together before her, never letting her eyes up. “I’d hoped by now I could move on, but without Ben, it’s still hard, you know. But I’ve been trying to take care of Beth and settle everything, there hasn’t been much time for me to think much of what his death will mean later on. Not so much for me, I know I’ll move on eventually, but he was the only father Beth knew.” “Ben might’ve claimed her as his own,” I heard behind me, turning to see Rene as she walked up to me, “but Rick wanted to be her father. If you want, Ally, he could be her father, like he wanted to.” My eyes turned up, searching her eyes. For whatever reason, I knew Rene meant every word. It helped Ally, and I nodded in agreement. Sitting down, we all talked a little while longer about the arrangement. It meant telling a lot of people who Beth’s biological father was, with a blood test to prove it. With all the help she already got from her parents and the money from Ben’s military life insurance, she didn’t want any money, only for me to care for the little girl as she was to me, my daughter. It meant sharing custody, having her some weekends and one or two holidays a year, but we all agreed to it. It also meant Rene became a stepmother, but instead of some envy, as she’d had when Ally first told us about the pregnancy, I could see she didn’t harbor the feeling anymore. Perhaps being my first meant more to her now, or the fact I chose her over Ally without question, after all the temptation. Maybe the way I’d devoted myself to her and the baby held the reason, but no matter what the cause, she urged me on. A few weeks passed while all the arrangements were made. To say Ally’s parents were upset is a major understatement, but Ben’s took the news very well. In the end, Ally had to convince them not to disown her, not that they would ever do something that drastic, but they couldn’t understand why she didn’t want child support, eventually chalking it up to their only daughter’s steadfast independence.
