Marcy and I were sitting on my sofa, watching the Purge, as it happened, just days away from Halloween. We ate plenty of popcorn and drank a few beers together, just kicking around a bit, brother and sister (okay, stepbrother and stepsister, but we had grown up together, so we tended to leave the "step" part out of things). I jokingly called her "Marcia Brady" and "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," while she teased me by twisting my name, changing Julian to "Julia" or "Jules" (her excuse being that "Julian" was a bastardized English name of my true Cajun name, anyway). I usually paid her back by tickling her more than a little and demanding that she call me "sir," as Marcy in Peanuts did with Peppermint Patty. We had this routine down since we were at least in grade school (okay, minus the beer), but I was twenty-five to her twenty now. She wasn't technically legal to drink in most states, but this was Louisiana, so we lucked out that way.
It was my first Halloween since leaving the Army due to the shrapnel after just seven years of service. I was glad for Marcy's company, to put it mildly. When Uncle Sam and I separated, he got custody of my girlfriend, who was still in the Army, not that I failed to understand. She just didn't have time for me what with everything happening, plus we both cheated enough times to have doubts about our future. There wasn't much bitterness, especially since she was still serving our country and I was proud of her for that. It wasn't my fault that my ties to the Army were severed, but since she was still whole, Adrienne still hoped to make a career of it. Despite being from the same state, we would likely not see each other again while she was in the service, unless on her next leave.
"So, if the Purge were real, what crime would you commit, if any?" Marcy teased me now, as the movie came to an end (after watching it the eleventh time, so we already knew it without being too focused on it).
"Oh, I don't know, maybe fuck some jailbait. No murder. I've seen enough violence. I wouldn't rob anyone, either. I'd want a fairly victimless crime. Fuck some jailbait or get with a hooker. No need to worry about being arrested for soliciting as a john if all crime is legal. That's what I don't get about this whole thing... why does everyone want to kill first? If all crime is legal, why does it always come down to murder? Realistically, wouldn't there be other crimes, too?
"Not everyone wants to kill first. I've done enough killing in my case to last me a good while, and what I did wasn't even wrong. It was just war. That didn't stop it being unpleasant, though. That's someone's son, brother, husband, father, uncle, etc. You try not to think about that too much, but sometimes it really just hits you hard. What about you?" I turned to my sister, and got the answer that shook me to my core and changed everything about our relationship.
"Oh, that's easy, since you're asking. I'd rape you," Marcy told me, bringing me up short and making me snort out my beer.
"RAPE me? Why on Earth would you do that?" I recovered after nearly choking, I coughed so much.
"Sure, how else am I going to give you my cherry? I'm your sister. You'd never take it voluntarily, would you? That would be incest. Though if I knew how you felt about jailbait, I might have seduced you when I was younger," Marcy informed me, making me blush in spite of myself.
"Wait a second. You're STILL a virgin, and you want me to have it? When did you plan to tell me this, and what did you plan to do about it?" I coughed and sputtered a bit in response to her news.
"Yeah, think that I'm going to let those fools take my cherry? I don't mind slutting around, but I want my first time to be yours. I decided that years ago. I just had to find the opportunity. Now I have it. I'm just waiting for my chance and I'm going to seize it whenever it happens. I want to enjoy my first time, not have it hurt like hell and ruin sex for me and cause me to need therapy for years, Jules.
"Besides, they're so not worthy of my virginity, of the tightness that is sure to make them cum far too soon. They'd be cumming and leaving me high and dry. You, on the other hand, would have me screaming your name. I just know it. Even if you came too fast, you'd find a way to make me cum, anyway, and more than make up for it. They'd just give me the bum's rush and never give it a second thought, I believe," Marcy explained her thinking, which had me more than a little shaken up.
"And fucking your own brother wouldn't put you in therapy?" I asked skeptically, "not to mention the guilt of raping him?"
"Oh, I'd feel no guilt, because I know that you want this and I'd be giving it up to you. Okay, maybe a little guilt over the rape part, but none over the incest. I don't have that hang-up, even if you probably do. Besides, although we're brother and sister, we're not blood. We are brother and sister because we grew up together, part of the same family, and because you consider my mother to be Mom and I think of your father as Dad. But guilt?
"Not much, just over the rape part, and not even much over that, since I know that you already want me. I can just tell. You just have too much of a conscience to do anything about it for whatever reason. You'd do a teenybopper, but somehow, incest is beyond the pale. That's society for you, fucking with your head. You want this pussy, I know it, and I'd love to give it up to you. It's really yours for the asking, anyway, for the wanting. You want it, you get it. Anytime. You name it.
"Look, I'm going to end up in bed with you, sooner or later. You deserve to know that. Sooner or later, you and I are going to fuck, and once that happens, it will never stop. Ever. We can't ever marry. I know that. Pesky little family of ours would never let that happen. They'd lie and stall and pressure and cajole and whatnot, until people refused to officiate, witness, etc. But all the same, this booty is yours and remains so for life. I don't care if you marry, get another girlfriend, if I end up marrying or getting a boyfriend or whatever. This is my pussy, but I'm going to award it to you. I'm going to let you fuck me whenever you like, whatever happens.
