I took a nap. Jen got up and showered, I didn't hear it or wake up. I mentioned it before: I really sleep hard; I even nap hard.
Until I was about thirteen, I pissed the bed most nights. That's how hard.
Anyways, you know how sometimes naps are the best for dreaming? I had a bunch that time after Ann watched Jen and I fuck, but only one dream really stands out. In it, Ann was on our bed, lying on her tummy in blue panties. But, the panties weren't really there. It was her ass that was blue, just her ass. Freakin' weird, I know. But, anyways, Jen was there, and she was telling me I had to fuck Ann. She was desperate and screaming, "Listen to me! You've got to fuck her!" But, I couldn't let Jen see that I wanted to, so I told her I wouldn't.
I don't know. Dreams. Whatever. But, that was one I really remembered.

The next week, Jen went out of town to a speech pathologist conventionโthat was her job. She worked for the public school, and she had to get her continuing education hours. It had been on her schedule for months, along with another day trip a few weeks later. I knew these events were coming, but I hadn't really thought about what they meant: I would be at home for a couple days, alone with my sister-in-law, Ann.
In the time leading up to the trip, Jen was frisky as hell. Like she didn't want to go without making sure I was well-fucked enough to last me a few days. She left on a Thursday and would be coming back Saturday.
It was Thursday. I was at my shop finishing some cabinet doors, and I was thinking hard about me and Ann in the house without Jen. And I was thinking about how Ann smelled that night I was secretly in her room, and about how her ass looked in those panties, and about her and Jen making out those years ago, and about Ann watching me fuck Jen and come all over her. And I was thinking about this planโthese ideas, reallyโI was kind of acting on.
Up to that time, I think I had been pretty safe on my wedding vows. Not that I didn't have some incriminating thoughts, but shit, I'm a dude. And not that-had Jen seen some of the things I'd done-I wouldn't have been in some serious trouble. But no, I had not been physically, sexually unfaithful.
Even so, I was acting on these ideas without really thinking about if they went wrong. It was risky, and I'd had a string of successes. I didn't feel like being conservative, yet.
But, I'll tell you what I was not going to do. I was not going to go home and try to fuck Ann. That was my belief on Thursday, and it continued to be so when I left the shop for home on Friday.

At 11:00pm or so on Friday, Ann knocked on the door of my bedroom. I was watching tv on the bed in sweatpants.
I hit mute on the tv. "Come in!"
She opened the door. She was in a white tank top with just orange panties underneath, but she was looking pretty freakin' terrified.
"Ann! What the..."
"Someone's in the back yard. I think it's Kenny." The minute she said the words, she started crying.
Training kicked in for me. "Shut off the lights and close the door."
She did. I walked over to the window and peeked through the blinds. "Tell me."
Through sobs, she said, "I was reading and I heard something hit my window and I got up and looked and I think it was him and I heard him say something and his face was just...fuck, I'm so sorry!"
I saw him down there. It was fucking Kenny.
"Ann, get in the bed. Get under the covers. Don't leave. Don't turn on the lights."
I stepped into our closet. Fifteen seconds later, I stepped out armed.
Ann's eyes widened.
"Don't worry. Just a precaution. Last resort kinda thing."
She nodded, sniffled.
"Got your phone with you?"
She nodded.
"Have 911 ready. When I come back, I'll say...I'll say 'Alaska' and you'll know it's me."
I closed the door and left. As silently as I could, I went downstairs. I made sure every door was locked, and then I sneaked through the hall, into the garage, and out the back door of the garage. Kenny was across the back patio from me, scrounging around for pebbles to throw at Ann's window. I could hear him mumbling some shit. He was going to be there for a little bit, hadn't given up yet.
I needed to find his car; it would tell me where he was headed if he lit out. I stalked away from him along the back of our garage and then crossed over to the neighbor's house. Clear from Kenny's view, I ran around to the street and looked up our hill. There she was! Kenny's beloved truck.
I ran over to it, took out my knife, and worked a small hole in the right front tire by screwing the tip of the blade into it with just a little bit of pressure, just like drilling a hole. Took about a minute before I heard the air leaking out. I widened it. Kenny's escape route was cut off.
I circled around our next door neighbor's house and something caught my eye. An idea formed. I grabbed a bucket and kept closing in on Kenny.
Finally, I had worked my way into our back yard, and there he was, looking up at Ann's window. I stayed low and crept up behind him.
I actually couldn't tell if he was drunk of not. I rose up and lifted the bucket I had seized in the neighbor's yard, and then I dumped it over Kenny's head.
Kenny screamed and spun around, but he couldn't see anything; he had a big five-gallon bucket on his head. I kicked him in the nuts. He groaned and plopped to the ground. If he had been thinking of doing something nasty, it was over now.
"Okay, Kenny, breathe it out. Breathe it out."
After a few seconds, he took the bucket off his head and groaned, "What in the fuck is this shit?"
"Its..."
"Is this dog shit?"
"Yeah."
