I blinked and tried hard to shake off the thoughts that wormed their way into my mind. We’d only had sex once and kissed a few times and already I had doubts. About everything. Ben didn’t owe me anything, I knew that, just as I knew I had a had habit of reading too much into a situation. So, I shook it off and tried for a smile as my phone chimed on the kitchen island.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I should probably get that.” It was taking the coward’s way out, answering the call when I could just ask him what all this meant.
But I was a coward, and for the moment, I was okay with that fact.
“Hello?”
“Joss, it’s Jase. That’s weird to say, makes it sound like we’re twins or something.” Jase let out a nervous laugh and I couldn’t help but smile at his nervous rambling. “Anyway, uh, how’s it going?”
I turned to Ben and indicated I would be just a moment. “It’s going all right, how are you?” After the doorstep ambush, I’d given up trying to get to know my half brothers. It was better to be alone than suffer another rejection.
“Can’t complain. Work is great and Bo and I are doing well, as well as a couple planning a wedding could be.”
“You’re getting married?” Why that information felt like a blow, I couldn’t say. Of course, I didn’t know the details of Jase’s life, we were strangers, related only by DNA. “Congratulations.”
“Thanks. Bo has been my best friend since we were little kids. Some would say it’s about damn time, and I would be one of those people.” He laughed again, but this time it was easier. Freer. “You didn’t reach out,” he said abruptly which put me on the spot.
“No, I didn’t. After your visit, I wasn’t sure contact was the best course of action.” One rejection was enough, and I wasn’t ready yet, or brave enough to risk another. “I don’t want to come between you and your brother.”
“Fuck that, Joss. You’re our sister. It’s not your fault that our dad was a skirt chaser, any more than it’s Nate’s fault that he almost lost Mikki because he couldn’t see relationships outside the shadow cast by dear old dad.” Silence settled for a long moment. “I want to know you.”
“But your brother…”
“Isn’t the only one who matters. I have a kid sister I never knew about, which I happen to think is pretty cool.”
“You do?” Jase seemed like a laidback kind of guy, but I couldn’t be sure because I wanted this, wanted family, too bad to be objective.
“Hell yeah, I do. I’m getting married to my best friend and I think it’d be nice to have another female in the family. A non-grumpy one.”
“I heard that,” a female voice called out, amusement and affection in her voice.
“I meant you to, babe.” Jase chuckled. “Okay Joss, I reached out to you this time, if you are interested then I’m going to leave the ball in your court. Does that sound good?”
I sighed and shook my head. “I came to Pilgrim to be close so I could get to know you.” It was as much of an admission as I was prepared to make at the moment.
“Then I expect I’ll hear from you soon. Maybe we can have a meal together and you can meet Bo. Come to the wedding.”
I shook my head, ready to protest when the sight of Ben, sans boxers, appeared in the doorway of my bedroom. “Think of how your mama will feel, Jase.”
“I’ll handle her, you just decide if you’re in or not.”
I nodded absently, the sight of Ben’s cock jutting out towards me, making my mouth go dry and other parts of me go wet. Dripping wet. “I will definitely think about it, Jase. Gotta go.”
“You’ve been gone a long time,” Ben said, his voice playful and his smile charming and wide. “I was getting lonely.”
“Then what are you doing all the way over there?”
Seconds later he was on the bed and I was on top of him, sliding down his hard length and thinking of nothing but pleasure.
Not my half brothers.
Not Ben’s confusing behavior.
Just pleasure. Sweet, white hot pleasure.
Ben
“Mmm, you are definitely going to be the death of me,” I moaned and pulled Joss close, kissing her for no other reason than I could. And I loved the taste and the feel of her soft, pillowy lips.
She laughed and wrapped her arms around me as she nibbled my bottom lip. “Are blow jobs fatal? I hadn’t heard.”
“Not normally, no. But whatever that thing is you did with your tongue, it could definitely bring on cardiac arrest.” After round three, I dragged Joss to her shower where her cries of pleasure echoed in the bathroom and I loved on her until she begged me to stop.
