MY SISTER JEAN

            Chapter 10  -- Tender Moments

                  In a soft, contralto voice Jean asked, "Billy, what are
            you thinking?  I mean, what do you think of us?"

                  "What?" I replied, almost stupidly.  I'd heard the
            words but I didn't understand them...they didn't make any
            sense.  None would have. I was still out there, dumb and
            floating in some post orgasmic stupor, largely incapable of
            rational thought.

                  With a low laugh, she nudged me with her toe.  "Earth
            to Billy . . . Earth to Billy."

                  Some small part of my brain knew where I was, but my
            thinking sludged somewhere between languid and torpid.
            Usually a linear, left-brain type of guy, I'd simply lost it
            all and was hanging out in some emotional wallow, playing
            and re-playing those vivid tapes of our erotic connection,
            Jean and me.  I was remembering the excitement of our sexual
            discoveries in the past months, remembering the quickening
            of fear when I'd dared acknowledge my desires to her.  More
            strongly, remembering the extraordinary energy we'd
            generated when we surrendered to the moment.

                  "Back side of the moon...static...failing...failing
            communications..." My voiced tailed off to a fake mumble.

                  "Billy, come out.  I know you're in there!"

                  Momentarily lifting my head and squinting, I asked,
            "Why...why do I have to come out...or down...or what ever?"

                  "Because this is important, that's why.  We have to
            talk... now!"

                  Eyes closed, I rolled over and pushed myself to one
            elbow and paused, half sitting up.  I was suddenly aware of
            my dick.  It felt cool.  Looking down I saw my cock, soft
            and lolling over my thigh.  The air was drying the moisture
            on my shaft, cooling it off.  I stared at it a moment,
            confused and with a start, embarrassed.  My cock was wet
            because Jean had sucked it...had taken me in her mouth and
            sucked me off!  I pulled my shorts over my loins in some
            futile attempt to cover myself.

                  Looking up at Jean sitting in a chair, I stared at her
            for a few moments. From my position on the floor where I'd
            slumped in my gray out, I could see her nakedness in the
            soft, diffused afternoon light. She sat, unashamed, one foot
            on the seat of the chair, leaning forward. Mentally shaking
            my head to clear the fog, I said something bright like,
            "Uh...yes...talk. Sure.  What about?"

                  "You remember...like I've told you a hundred times...we
            weren't gonna do it?"

                  Nodding that yes, I remembered, I just stared at her
            breasts.  They were full and, I thought, remarkably firm
            with a slight upturn to her pebbly areolae.  How, I
            wondered, could her nipples be so hard when my cock was so
            soft?  Going on as if it were the rhetorical question it
            really was, she continued, "Like you're my brother and as
            much as I love you...well, you know...it's the incest
            thing."

                  Still nodding, I licked my lips.  God I was dry!  With
            one foot on the chair that way, I could look right up
            between her thighs and see how her pussy was pulled slightly
            open.

                  "And this is the part that scares me," she continued,
            "Every time we go a little bit farther...farther than I
            intended to go...and I LIKE it.  I like it more than I
            realized I would.  I think *too* much . . . I mean, it
            scares me, you know?"

                  My part of this conversation was easy.  I nodded again.
            Hell yes. I knew --  I loved it and it scared the shit outta
            me.  This was all new stuff, very deep and with a strong
            current that was pulling us God knows where. Every time we'd
            drifted into the tug of our mutual desires, we seemed to end
            up someway we never planned.  When we started something, we
            had no idea where it would take us.

                  "Yesterday...yes, even as late as this morning, I would
            never have thought I'd take your cock in my mouth."  She
            looked at me with a slight tilt of her head as if to ask, so
            what do you think?

                  I smiled.  My cock?  Jean never called it my cock.  It
            was usually "my thing" or something like that.

                  "Don't you see?  Taking your cock in my mouth is like
            really close to really doin' it?"

                  I looked up to heaven, closed my eyes and just smiled.

                  "Oh you!  Listen to me, you jerk.  Be serious will
            you?"

                  "Jean, I *am* listening to you.  I just can't help
            smiling.  I love you and I'm all whacked out.  Can't you
            tell that?"

                  Jean looked startled for a moment.  She stared at me as
            she idly cupped her breast and rolled a nipple between her
            fingers.  I could barely hear her voice.  "Yes, I *can* tell
            that, Billy."

                  "Maybe we just have different definitions.  When I just
            touch you, I don't think of it as incest.  So when you touch
            me, I still don't think of it that way.  Oh sure, it's
            sexual, but *that's* not incest."

                  She smiled warmly at me as she retorted, "You are
            *such* a lawyer."

                  I didn't want to get into an intellectual word game
            with Jean.  She was too smart for me.  No, it was always
            best for me to be honest with her.  I didn't have to defend
            my honesty.  We accepted that while our views on things
            might be different, neither of us need be wrong.

                  "I mean...uh, I think of incest as, you know...fucking.
            We're just foolin' around and if I touch you, that's not
            incest.  And if you touch me, that's not incest.  And if I
            come..."

                  "Yeah, yeah...I know about that.  But it's the feelings
            that scare me. It makes me *want* to do it."

                  "Jean, when I wake up in the morning with a boner
            because I've been dreaming about you, I want to do it.  When
            you flashed your butt at me this morning, I wanted to do it.
            *Wanting* to do it and really doin' it are two different
            things."

                  We'd been over this a dozen times.  I was so hot and so
            confused I didn't know anymore if I really meant it.  Being
            honest was very important to me, but I suspect that if I
            thought I'd get in Jean's pants by telling a lie, I'd jump
            into duplicity without a second thought. Jean knew this, for
            I'd once admitted as much, but we continued to treat our
            impetuous lust as the elephant in the living room.

                  As she had so many times before, perhaps wanting to be
            reassured, Jean accepted my slip-shod thinking and faulty
            reasoning again.  "Okay," she sighed, "But you've got to
            help me with this.  Promise?"

                  "Promise." I intoned, crossing my heart, as I watched
            her stand up and stretch, reaching toward the ceiling, hips
            thrust forward, and then spin about and walk into the
            bathroom, mumbling, "Gotta pee."

                  She'd left the door open and I could hear the toilet
            seat come down as she continued to speak to me in a louder
            voice.  "Do you still want me to model those panties?  I
            mean, after all, you've seen me buck naked."

                  Interpreting the open door as an invitation, I got up
            and wandered into the bathroom.  Jean was sitting on the
            toilet, knees together, hands folded between her thighs.
            Leaning on the low partition right in front of the toilet, I
            looked at her with a question in my eyes.

                  "What?" she asked.

                  "Let me watch," I answered.

                  "You *are* watching," she replied, knowing exactly what
            I meant. We stared at each other for a long moment and then
            she parted her legs, at first only inches.  I made a rolling
            gesture with my hand.  Again she paused and then parted her
            knees fully, opening herself to my stare.

                  "I don't know if I can go," she began, but that was
            immediately interrupted by her peeing.

                  The bathroom has a bright, southern exposure and the
            low afternoon sun streamed in, lighting the orange tile
            floor and casting a red-orange tint on her skin.  Her brown
            pubic hair was tightly curled, pressed by her shorts.
            Glancing down, she looked at herself for a moment and then
            ran her fingers through her muff, ruffling her hair as she
            peed.  I could see her labia, pulled slightly open by her
            spread thighs, and the strong stream of urine splashing
            against the porcelain bowl, high up.

                  "I have to be careful, " she noted, and bent slightly
            at the waist to direct her stream into the toilet bowl.  The
            loud hissing of her peeing was joined by the clatter of her
            stream in the water.

                  "Let me..." I started to say, as I stepped in front of
            her and sank to one knee, right between hers.

                  She looked at me with a questioning expression but
            didn't stop peeing. As if to make the stream more strong, I
            saw her stomach muscles bunch in a forced Valsalva.  It
            worked.  Her stream again shot to a point near the edge and
            at the same time, she gave off a little fart.

                  "Ohmygod," she whispered and put her finger tips
            against her closed lips as if to signal her embarrassment.

                  Without thinking, I reached between her thighs and
            cupped her stream with my palm.  It splashed, some drops
            hitting her and some hitting me. All at once, I was aware of
            her wide-eyed stare of incredulity, the satin softness of
            her thigh against my forearm and the heat of her urine in my
            hand.  I curled my fingers and cupped her sex as she
            continued to pee.

                  "Billy!  What are you *doing* for cryin' out loud?"

                  "Don't talk...just pee...keep peeing for me, Jean."

                  Sitting up straight again, she murmured, "Crazy...this
            is crazy," and continued to pee out the last dribbles.

                  "Why, Billy?  Why did you do that?"

                  Leaning back, letting my pee-wet hand drip into the
            bowl, I looked at her and grinned.  "I don't know.  Just
            wanted to, I guess.  It has something to do with intimacy.
            I just love the intimacy of being with you when you pee .  .
            . of feeling your hot pee in my hand."

                  With a half smile, she shook her head slowly and pulled
            off a length of toilet tissue.

                  Taking it from her hand, I said, "Let me."  Dabbing her
            pussy, I asked, "Remember the last time you let me do this?"

                  "How could I forget...but I didn't think it would get
            to be a habit," she chided me as she leaned back, legs
            opened farther.  And, as with the last time, I slipped a
            finger into the wet and open slit of her pussy, pulling up
            to the top and tracing small circles about her clit. "Oh,
            God...that feels good."

                  "Let me touch you, Jean.  Let me play with you.  Come.
            Let's lay on your bed."

                  Without further words, we got up and walked in slow
            motion to her room, to her bed.  Without prodding, she piled
            two pillows and lay against them, half-reclining with her
            legs splayed open.  I kneeled in the "V" of her legs and
            just looked.  Her pussy had flowered.  The inner lips were
            swollen, partially everted and very wet.  The musky smell of
            her juices wafted up to my nose and, as if on cue, she said,
            "Jeez... do I smell raunchy."

                  The musky essence of her sex was driving my libido
            while some other voice was telling me to slow down, to savor
            the moment.  Somehow I knew I wanted to get out of my own
            head and the best way for me to escape the gadfly of self
            was to think of someone else.

                  Once in a rare while I'm given some nugget of advice
            that hits me. It's a two-pronged blessing...first, that I'm
            offered it and second, that I *hear* it.  The exhortation of
            a good friend and advisor came to my mind.  He said: "Bill,
            where ever you are, *be* there!"

                  I sat back on my heels and closed my eyes.  My inner
            awareness grew and filled the room, taking in the sounds of
            our breathing and the soft breeze, the scent of both of us
            and mostly, the sweet, delicious tenderness of the moment.
            I thought to myself that I must work at being an authentic
            participant in my life, for Jean it comes naturally.  Her
            spiritual state rests easily with her, much as a
            comfortable, loose garment.  Opening my eyes, I looked into
            hers.  They were deep and lustrous and filled with
            affection.

                  She smiled and asked, "What are you thinking, Billy?"

                  "How much I care for you...how much I love you, Jean.
            I'm just filled with you."

                  She held out her hand to me and said, "Come, lie beside
            me.  I want to be close to you.  I want to feel your skin on
            mine.  Hold me, please?"

                  Nestling her head against my neck, I asked, "But what
            about...?"

                  "The sex?" she finished for me.

                  "Well, there is that."

                  "We'll do that...whatever it is we're going to do...but
            first I want to savor this minute with you.  The sex will
            always be there. Moments like this are rare.  Stay with me,
            won't you?"
