She looked up at him with nothing but love in her eyes as she spread her legs and let him in. Electricity coursed through the two of them as he slid deeply into her. She moaned and wrapped her legs around him as he pulled out, and then back in again. Sweat mixed with sweat as they passionately kissed, tongues dancing and fingers intertwining.
Again and again he pushed into her, driving her further and further into a pleasurable abyss until finally she began to come. She arched her hips upwards so he was pounding almost directly downwards into her. Her pussy contracted forcefully on him as he began to cum, spurting stream after stream into her.
After an hour, they finally collapsed into each other, and lay there in the darkness. He ran a finger idly through her hair. Then, after what seemed like hours, she wordless got up, got dressed and left. As he walked her to the door, she turned and handed him the red ribbon she’d tied in her hair.
Leaning into him, she kissed him deeply one last time and closed the door behind her.
Mike stared down at the ribbon for a long time.
*****
Four and a half years later, Mike stepped off the plane and shouldered his duffel. He’d just gotten back and was anxious to see his sisters. It had been a long time since he’d seen any of them. He’d gotten leave, of course, but hadn’t gone home, electing to give his family the space they’d needed. He’d written letters, and called them when he could, but there were no visits home.
He saw a familiar face as they were dismissed and smiled as Matt came to hug him.
“Brother!” Matt yelled. “Goddamn it’s good to see you!”
Mike smiled and hugged him. “Hey bud. How’s everything?”
“We’ll talk later. We gotta get you home,” Matt said. “Your sisters are waiting and if they have to wait on me, then I’ll be toast.”
Mike smiled and nodded. “It’s been too long since I’ve seen them.”
Matt grinned widely and helped him to his truck. As they drove home, Matt kept directing the conversation back to Mike’s deployment, his tours in the Middle East and other places. Mike kept the conversation sanitized, for the most part.
“So when are you going to tell me what you’re hiding?” Mike finally said.
Matt looked at him surprised. “Look man, I’ll let your sisters tell you. You are one scary looking son-of-a-bitch now.”
Mike smiled. “Hell, Matt, I’m the same guy that you’ve always known. I won’t be causing a ruckus.”
Matt nodded in understanding but shook his head just the same. “I’m still letting them tell you.”
They pulled up to the house a few minutes later.
Four sisters shot towards him and buried him with hugs and kisses.
“You couldn’t come home even once?” Sarah asked, kissing his cheek.
They went inside and had supper, and everyone wanted to know what he’d been doing. Mike answered their questions as best as he could, but couldn’t help but wonder what the big secret was. He finally figured it out when Sarah leaned over and whispered something to Matt. He nodded and stood to head to the kitchen.
“Oh my God,” Mike said, smiling. He pointed at Sarah. “GUILTY!” he yelled and laughed loudly.
Matt turned white and held his hands up.
Sarah tried to act like she didn’t know what he was getting at. “What?” she asked, trying to sound innocent.
“You and Matt! You’re together!”
“Are you crazy?” she asked, rolling her eyes.
“You just told him to go get something from the kitchen. The Sarah I know wouldn’t ask anyone to do something for her, unless she considered him family.”
“Aw, fuck,” Sarah said, a smile coming to her face.
“I told you he’d figure it out,” Matt said, backing up slowly.
“You,” Mike said. “You had sex with my sister,” he accused, pointing a finger at him.
“Oh shit,” Matt said, backing into the living room.
Mike moved forwards quickly and looked like he would hit him, but laughed loudly and clapped him on the back.
“Come on man, I’m happy for you two,” Mike said, hugging his still considerably nervous friend. “Sit down, relax.”
Sarah sighed and stood. “Mike, stop terrorizing my boyfriend.”
Mike smiled. “That’s something I haven’t heard in a long, long time.”
She grinned and shrugged. “It just sorta happened. He likes it when I tell him what to do.”
Mike chuckled.
“Babe,” Matt protested.
“Shut up,” she told him, winking at her brother.
“Well, is that the big secret? Matt said you guys were going to tell me, and refused to say anything.”
“That’s the secret,” Sarah said.
Mike smiled genuinely. “I’m glad,” he said to her after they’d finished supper. He was standing next to her at the sink as she did the dishes.
“I was worried what you’d say,” she said.
“I’ve only ever wanted you to be happy,” he said.
“I know,” she whispered, washing another dish.
“What about…” he started to ask, taking the cleaned dish and drying it.
“Nope, you’ll have to ask them,” she said, knowing he was asking about his other sisters.
He nodded. “I’m still convinced it was the right decision.”
She shrugged. “It was a decision. I’m still not sure if it was the right one. I like Matt. He’s sweet when he wants to be and he’s easy to make do things for me.”
He smiled.
“Plus he knows that if he mistreats me, my little brother will tear his spine out.”
Mike laughed loudly at that. “True enough,” he said.
Beth smiled and pulled Mike away to talk. They headed outside and sat on the deck as Beth told him all about her trips down to the jungles of South America.
“You wouldn’t believe the people down there,” she said. “God, they’re so friendly, so kind and generous. I love it down there.”
“So you’ve been down to South America how many times?” he asked.
“Oh gosh, like five or six now. I keep getting requested for research expeditions. I’m considered an expert in the field now, I guess.”
“So there’s no one else in your life? I figured you would have found someone else. You’re the most classically beautiful woman I know.”
She blushed. “Thank you, Mike. No, there’s no one. I’m too busy at this part of my life. At one point, I went out with Paul a few times, but nothing ever happened. He’s nice enough, but I leave so often that it makes having a relationship too hard. He’s seeing someone else right now, I think.”
“Are you okay?” he asked.
She smiled and kissed his cheek. “Always worried about us,” she said with a genuine smile. “I’m okay, Mike. I promise,” she assured him.
She cleared her throat and nodded over at Emma and rolled her eyes. “I’m sure she wants to talk to you too.”
“We’ll have to do something before you leave on your next trip, just us.”
She smiled and hugged him. “That sounds fun,” a wicked grin coming to her face.
Mike shook his head. “Stop,” he said.
“Only if you make me,” she giggled.
He shook his head and headed off to find Emma
Emma and Mike went for a walk and talked at length. She was the one person he could really talk to about his deployment, about what he’d seen, friends he’d lost.
“There were times of course when I was worried, when I was scared shitless. I’ve seen my friends blown apart, seen innocents killed. I’ve killed men,” he said, lowering his gaze a bit.
Emma hugged him then, but was silent.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
He sighed and shook his head. “That’s a conversation for another time. This is supposed to be a happy reunion. So,” he said turning towards her. “What about you? I figured you’d be the one to end up with Matt.”
“There’s something you need to know, Mike,” she said. She had a concerned, cautious look on her face.
