It was mid afternoon on Friday and Ben was doing a once over of the house trying to make certain that neither he nor Katie had left any clues as to their activities for the past week. In doing so he moved the couch cushion and discovered a pair of Katie's panties underneath.
"Kathryn, oh Kathryn, "he shouted.
""What lover boy, "she replied, now walking slowly into the living room.
"Guess who left a pair of their undies under the couch cushion?" he inquired.
"Oops," Katie replied, " guess I forgot about those."
"Look babe, we gotta make sure this place is clean. If Mom gets even an inkling of what we've been doing we are in deep, deep, do-do."
"OK, Ben, you're right," she said, " I'll look everything over again just to make sure."
At 4:30 Marian arrived home, overjoyed to see her kids again and very, very happy to be home.
"I swear," Marian stated, as she relaxed at the kitchen table, " I never thought that conference would be over."
"The thing is Mom," Ben offered, " did you learn a lot of new things?"
"Are you kidding me?", Marian replied, " oh, I picked up a few new things but most of it was repetitious. I'm just glad it's over."
"Well Mom, are you glad to see us," Katie asked>
"Good grief yes," Marian answered. " How about you guys. What in the world did you do all week?"
Katie blushed noticeably. Lucky for them Marian was looking at her son as she posed the question and did not see.
"Nothing much Mom," Ben answered, " I mostly caught up on some sleep, squirt there actually cooked some decent meals and we tried to make sure that the house looked good for your return."
"Well the house looks great kids, I'm glad you got along and didn't kill each other too."
It was all that Ben could do to keep from laughing. The only way they would have killed each other would have been if they had fucked each other to death.
On Saturday evening Ben went to a movie with his buddy Fred and then to the local watering hole for a beer.
"Ben, you don't seem into it tonight. That blonde over there's been practically shakin it in your face man and you haven't even noticed.
"Yeah, I know," Ben replied. " I don't know, I took the past week off and hung out around the house maybe I just got out of sinc."
"Well now if I'd had the whole week off with that good lookin sister of yours I'd be a little out of it too," Fred joked.
Ben could not, of course, even hint at why he was a little preoccupied this particular evening. He was just like someone who had a significant other at home. He just couldn't bring himself to flirt with anyone, all he could think about was his sister at home. He didn't know if this was good or not. He wondered if he should begin to worry about this whole situation. Katie would die if he told her that he thought they should cool it but he was starting to have some real reservations.
On Sunday, as Katie was leaving her room, Ben signaled her to join him in his room. She gave him a big grin as she did so.
"Hey Bro, " she said quietly, " you wanna try to do it quietly right now?"
"No silly," Ben replied, " just wanted to talk to you a little."
"Ok Ben," Katie said, " but why the serious look sweetie?"
"Well Katie, I've been thinking a lot since Mom got home. I think maybe we need to sorta slow down or stop our sex play for a while, OK?"
Immediately Katie's eyes filled with tears and her lip began to tremble, " why Ben, what did I do, did you find someone else Friday night?"
"No, no, now settle down, I didn't find someone else. Look babe, I just think that , well, we both know that it can't really go anywhere. I mean you need to find someone that you can marry and have kids with, we can't do that and what's worse with my luck we'll probably get caught, Mom will end up hating me, you know, it's just an unworkable situation."
"Oh my God, Ben you're serious aren't you, please Ben, oh please don't tell me this. Ben, I love you, if you end it I just can't go on," she sobbed.
"Katie, damn, settle down. If Mom comes up here she's gonna flip out. OK, look, I tell you what, we'll just slow it down a little, OK? You have to promise me though that you'll try to date some, how else will you find anyone. By the way, Fred thinks you're hot. He'd love to date you."
"Oh bullshit, Fred's a moron," she spat, I wouldn't date him if he was the only guy left, I don't care if he is your friend. There's nothing that says I have to date someone. I'll just take the lovemaking sessions that I can get with you and bide my time."
"That's not what I was talking about," Ben said sternly, " you've gotta do your part too."
"OK, Ben, whatever you say," Katie said with a sly smile.
Somehow Ben thought that he hadn't really won at all. Katie was a very determined gal, he figured that she was the one that had been victorious. He had that gut feeling that he hadn't had a chance.
Ben returned to work Monday morning and actually felt comforted to be back at his job. Even making tires would help him get his mind off the current situation. He loved his sister madly, reveled in their sexual activities and found himself, against his own wishes, thinking about Katie and what they had done. He certainly hoped that he had the willpower to do what he said and at the very least reduce the frequency of their sexual activities.
On Thursday, Marian reminded her children that she and her friend Louella would be going to the play that they had been waiting on for nearly a year.
"Neither of us can believe that we are actually going to see a Broadway play. I mean it's not all of the original cast but some of them are. Did you guys remember that we are going to stay in the city that night," she asked.
Ben and Katie's eyes locked on each other. He could feel that funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. Hell, here he was the one advocating a slow -down in their sexual relationship and now all he could think of was fucking his sister.
"Sure Mom, that's fine. I'll probably watch some TV or read a book or something."
"Well, we're both taking extra clothes so we can go right to work Friday morning. It'll sure make a lot quicker trip to work. Like 4 blocks away, " Marian said.
"Whatever happened to Debby Jenner? ", Marian asked. " I mean you guys were inseparable for years and now I never hear anything about her. Is she still around?"
"Yes Mom, she's still around but I don't talk to her much. I guess she's not that interested in maintaining our friendship since we graduated."
Katie had just told a total lie to her mother. Debby had actually phoned Katie a number of times including earlier this day, but Katie always found a reason not to get together with her. She was too busy, thinking about seducing her brother, trying to seduce her brother or actually seducing her brother. With her new found sex life she didn't really have time for a lot of conversation with her old friend. She felt that she had moved on.
Wednesday was Marian's only late day. She usually didn't get home until about seven or so. Katie decided she would try to seduce her brother once again that day.
On Wednesday Ben arrived home from work about 3:30 and noticed that the house was apparently empty. He jumped in the shower for a quick wash and then, clad only in his boxers, headed for the kitchen and a cold drink. Katie waited in the utility room, unknown to Ben, wearing only a t-shirt and panties.
Ben was seated sideway at the kitchen table, quietly drinking an iced tea and reading the circular from a local computer store when he caught a movement from out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey ," he said as he jumped slightly, "I didn't think there was anyone here. What were you doing, trying to scare me?"
"No," replied Katie softly, " I'm just trying to fuck you."
"Oh, c'mon Katie, we already talked about that. I thought we agreed to slow down a little?"
