Stepbrother Desire (Erotica)

Matt nodded finally. He was quiet for a few minutes, thinking quietly. He started to speak several times, but fell quiet. Mike continued to listen without saying anything.

“Fine, but you’re not going to like what I have to say. I know everyone thinks that I’m just a redneck with a drinking problem that can’t seem to get enough pussy.”

“You know me better than that, man. I know the real you,” Mike told him. “You’re the brother I never had.”

Matt nodded. “It’s not just the fact that Missy left. It’s not that I miss her. I know that the woman I was having sex with is gone, but she was also my sister. You know? That part of my life is gone too. I mean, I would have been fine with not having her anymore, but now I’ve lost my sister as well, and my parents have lost their daughter. And it’s all my fault.”

Mike nodded understandingly.

“I mean, we weren’t together all that much. I know it’s weird, but I really do miss her. She wasn’t my first, but I thought what we had meant something to her.”

“So what happened?”

He sighed and drank another swallow of beer.

“After you told me that you knew about us, and admitted that you were… well, you know…”

Mike nodded.

“Well, that night I had to let Missy know. She was less than happy when I told her you guys knew. She cried at first, embarrassed beyond belief. I never even got a chance to tell her about you being with your own sisters. She screamed at me to get out, crying into her pillow as she threw things at me.”

He nodded again, silently listening as Matt finally got stuff off his chest.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I tried to calm her down, but she finally shoved me out of the room and locked the door. When you guys came over, she left. I figured I’d talk to her in the morning. I woke up late and saw that she’d packed her car early that morning. She said she was going to stay with our cousins in Dallas, and that she had to think. I fell to my knees then and apologized. I told her that I was sorry for letting all this happen and that I’d do anything to make it right. She left without saying another word.”

Mike motioned for the bartender and got another beer for Matt. He glanced over and saw a single tear working its way down his friend’s cheek.

“Mom and Dad got a call from her a month later. She didn’t tell them where she was, but said she was doing fine. I tried to talk to her, but she hung up. I called the number back, but she never picked up. Weeks, months passed. I called, and she never answered. She spoke to Mom and Dad, but never to me.

“Finally, I borrowed Dad’s phone without him knowing and called her. ‘Please don’t hang up,’ I told her. I just wanted an explanation. I told her that I would make it right, that I would leave and she could come and stay with Mom and Dad. They didn’t deserve to be treated like this.”

Mike took a drink as he swallowed the lump in his throat, seeing his buddy in pain as another tear forced itself from Matt’s eye.

“She told me that she never wanted to see me again. She said that it was a mistake, what happened between us. Once people had found out about us, she’d never be able to live it down. She was the older sibling, and people would blame her.”

He sighed then, and lowered his head as the tears flowed freely, his shoulders bobbing softly.

A few seconds passed and he raised his head and brushed the tears away.

“Finally, I told her, please Missy. Please tell me what I can do to make this right. She was quiet for a long time, but then she said that she was going to regret what happened to us for the rest of her life and that she would never see me again. She told me that she wished I was dead, so that she didn’t have to lose her parents too.”

Mike had been floored. “How the fuck could she say something like that to you?”

Matt looked at Mike sheepishly for a second.

“You fucked someone else, didn’t you.”

Matt smiled weakly and shrugged. “I fucked up,” he said, and downed more of his beer. “That was about 9 months ago. None of us know where she is, or even if she’s alive. Missy must have told Mom and Dad what happened, because they barely speak to me. Or maybe they just know that I’m to blame for Missy leaving.”

“Fuck that, Matt,” Mike said. “I don’t buy that for a minute. Missy leaving is on her. You guys could have worked something out.”

Matt had started shaking his head. “No, don’t you see brother? She was right. I did this to us. I tore my family apart because I was thinking with my dick. Not anymore though. That part of my life is over.”

Mike had sighed and shook his head. “You aren’t a bad person, Matt.”

“You need to be careful, Mike,” Matt had said, raising his eyes and looking at him.

Mike cocked his head in curiosity. “What are you talking about?”

“How fucking long do you think you can keep your family together?” Matt said. “I fucked up my family with just one woman and you’re with four. What¸ are you fucking kidding me? That’s a fucking time bomb, man.”

Mike was shaking his head. “My family doesn’t have anything to do with this.”

“You don’t get it, man,” Matt said. “Everything has to end. One of your sisters will eventually want to have a real relationship, or want to have kids. You can’t do that. You know the risks with that. So, you can’t be responsible for tearing your family apart, because you and your sisters are all that y’all have. You know I’m right. Either you tear your family apart, or someone else finds out like what happened to Paul and they tear your family apart.”

Paul had been caught by a friend of Ashley’s, fucking his sister. The friend had initially kept it secret, but word spread and Paul had reluctantly had to move out. They were still friendly with one another, but Ashley had found a boy that was pretty understanding about the whole incident. They rarely spoke.

“You know I’m right,” Matt said.
