Eric sat drinking coffee and staring out at the first change in light in the sky, barely contrasting with the silhouette of the hill, through the kitchen window. His mind kept flipping back and forth, between his desire to check his laptop and gaming console to see if Lisa had responded, to reliving the memories of the beach yesterday afternoon and his bedroom last night.
After dinner, Eric had gamed for a few hours. Throwing caution to the wind, he had entered the new fortress and swept through it room to room looking for any sign that anyone had been inside it since had helped Lisa modify its defenses. The only change he could see was a small pile of floating possessions outside of one of the walls where one of the booby traps he had placed with Lisa must have been triggered by someone looking for a place to make entry. Eric went outside the walls to pick up the items and life experience so the original owner couldn't retrieve them for themselves.
There was no way to tell if these possessions had belonged to one of the fort-builders or just some random player who had happened along. Eric kind of wished it had been one of the original owners, as the relatively low grade armor and weapons they'd lost might reflect the quality of what they had stored at their spawn points and mean that they would need a long time to upgrade to a point where they might become a serious threat again. He went back into the fortress and made some modifications as he waited to see if Lisa was going to log back in. When Lisa didn't show up after a couple of hours, Eric had logged out, feeling a sense of how empty the game now seemed without her.
Eric had checked his laptop one last time and then headed up to his room. He'd changed into his pajamas and flopped onto his bed, feeling drained and listless. He wasn't sure how long he'd laid like that, but he looked up when he heard his door to the bathroom open quietly. Ellie tiptoed through and flashed him a dazzling smile as she shut and locked both his bathroom and hall doors before tiptoeing over to his bed. She crawled up onto the covers and then laid atop Eric as he rolled over onto his back.
"Hey!" she whispered, smiling. "I was hoping you were still up."
"Yeah," Eric gave her a half-hearted smile. "I was just about to go to sleep."
"Still moping about you warrior-princess?" Ellie teased him.
"C'mon," Eric sighed. "I just want to know that everything's okay with her. You know?"
Ellie didn't like the way Eric kept looking away. As much as she could admit to herself that part of her just wanted to kick the little gamer-girl's ass because she was taking away Eric's attention, the thing that she really hated most was that this girl had messed with Eric's, and by extension, her own, happiness. She tried to think of something to say in the awkward silence that hung in the room.
"Well, hey," she rubbed her hand on his chest. "I know you're going to be kind of busy being King Eric tomorrow, so there was something I was kind of hoping to show you tonight." She watched Eric's face carefully. "But if you're not in the mood..." She grinned when his eyes locked into hers.
Eric couldn't fight the smile that was forming in response to her impishness. "Okay...what is it?" he asked, his growing smile belying his grudging tone.
"Just something every King should probably know how to do..." She cocked her head teasingly. "But if you're too busy moping...?" She raised her eyebrows.
Eric sat up. "Okay, okay!" he relented. "You got me. What is it?" His cock was stirring in his pajamas.
Ellie bounced up off the bed and started to strip. By the time Eric had gotten up and started taking off his clothes, Ellie had taken her place on her knees in the middle of the carpet. She took an elastic band from around her wrist and began wrapping it around her hair, forming a high, tight ponytail at the back of her head. Ellie looked up expectantly as Eric stepped in front of her, his cock now fully hard as he looked down at his curvy sister, naked, on her knees and smiling at him eagerly as her eyes flashed between his own eyes and the impressive length of his hard dick, now hovering just a few inches in front of her face.
"Okay," she blushed and her eyes couldn't hold his, no matter how much she had intended them to. "This is called mouth-fucking." She placed her hands on his hips, before looking up at him again. "You're gonna want to put your hands on the back of my head..." She grinned sheepishly before offering him her mouth.
Eric was lost in the memory of how incredibly good it felt to slide his cock in and out of Ellie's willing mouth and was rubbing his rigid dick absentmindedly through the soft flannel of his pajama pants when the soft ping from his laptop snapped his attention back into the present. Standing up, he stepped to the counter and saw the message window pop up once he had entered his password into the login screen.
"Hey," it read. "Can you call me when you get this? I really need to talk to you. Thanks, Lisa." A phone number was listed after her name and the message was time stamped a minute ago.
Eric pulled his cell phone from the charger cable on the counter and punched in the number from her message. She picked up the call almost immediately.
"Hello...?" Her voice sounded soft and tentative.
"Hi Lisa?...it's Eric." He said softly, mimicking her tone.
"Wow, I guess I didn't expect you to call this soon...," she sounded flustered.
"You said to call when I got your message and I figured you were up, so...," Eric rolled his eyes, thinking how lame he must sound.
"No, I'm glad you called. I couldn't sleep anyway..." He heard her breathing for a moment. "Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I..."
"No, Lisa, I'm sorry." Eric interrupted her. "I shouldn't have left you hanging like that all night."
Lisa was silent for a long moment. "You don't think it's weird that I waited all night for you?", she sounded so soft and vulnerable that Eric felt like he could see her hunched over her phone in the semi-darkness of her room.
"No, I get it," Eric assured her. "You were excited to work on the fortress like we planned and I messed it up." He shrugged even though she wasn't there to see it. "I just got so caught up, I forgot. I'm sorry."
"Eric," she sighed. "It's not about the fortress." He heard her take a deep breath. "I could have played for a while and logged out when you didn't show up. It shouldn't have been a big deal."
"Then I'm kind of lost," Eric admitted.
"I guess I was just disappointed because I wanted to spend time with you, that's all." She sounded so resigned. "I guess I should have been more up front with you."
"About what?" Eric hadn't expected the call to go this way.
