Brotherly Love
Horny and half-naked, Randi Druitt stood in the open door and studied her kid brother. Some kid. Jim was stretched out on his bed, reading a paperback. He might be 18, but with his long, muscular build, dark hair, eyes the same color blue as their late fatherâs, and a smile that could get him laid in a nunnery, he looked all man. In the past, itâd made her proud to have such a hunk for a brother. But that was before sheâd come back to Jackson Junction. Now, looking at Jim laying on his back with nothing on but his boxers made her feel horny as hell.
Thanks to the crappy, late winter weather, business at the small country store her family owned had been slow. Most of the time thereâd been nothing to do but stare out at the weather and think about sex. Thatâs one reason she was horny now, but not the only one.
Sheâd come back home to run the store so her mother could move in with Aunt Clara to take care of her and the kids. The Christmas car wreck that almost killed Clara had left her needing months of rehab. And while Uncle Norwood tried to help, he was working double-shifts to help pay the medical bills.
When Clara lived with Randiâs family, sheâd been more like a fun-loving big sister and confidant than an aunt. Itâd been Clara who taught her how to dance, and about boys, and how to kiss. And thatâd led to the night Clara showed her how one woman could make another happy. Theyâd done it often after that.
Clara said it was almost a good as doing it with a guy and you didnât have to worry about taking the pill. That must have been a problem for Clara. Sheâd only been dating Norwood a couple months when she turned up pregnant. Now she was trapped in a mill town marriage with three kids, no future and, thanks to some drunk, almost dead. Long before the wreck Randi had vowed that would never happen to her.
But Clara would always be special to Randi. So when her mother suggested skipping a semester to run the store, sheâd managed to smile and nod even though sheâd been groaning inside. It meant giving up the wild parties and wilder sex life she loved so much, for quiet, rustic, boring Jackson Junction. Her hometown might be a great place to grow up or grow old. But it was hell on earth if you were out of high school and single.
With so many fun guys at college, she hadnât dated a local guy since breaking up with Craig Dickerson. Thatâd been three years ago this coming July, and she still missed him. But even if heâd gotten over catching her in bed with another guy, no one knew where he was.
The few single men her age around town were either losers or creeps or both. That most especially included her first boyfriend and lover, Dwayne Self. He kept hitting on her but sheâd never be that desperate.
Still, it all boiled down to her not getting laid since coming back home. Abstinence was not in her make-up. So if she didnât get some action soon, real soon, she might become the first person on record to die of horniness.
Thatâs why she was now eyeing Jim with more than sisterly affection. Sheâd decided something had to be done. After all, she was on her last vibrator and her fingers were almost worn out.
Tonight seemed like a perfect opportunity. Jim was a senior in high school and busy damn near every night. But thanks to the winter storm warnings, all school events were cancelled and their mother had decided to spend the weekend at Aunt Claraâs. Their stepfather, a long-distance truck driver, was somewhere out on the west coast. That meant she and Jim would be home alone that evening, and probably the rest of the weekend.
Of course if she wanted to seduce Jim, she had to get his attention. And so far that was proving to be a lot harder than sheâd expected. At first sheâd tried stepping into his room wearing her short, terrycloth bathrobe. The excuse was to let him know she was about to take a shower. Heâd looked over, said okay, and gone back to his book.
The next time she was wearing bikini panties, a longish t-shirt and had her hair wrapped in a towel. She stopped and leaned in the door to ask if he wanted anything from the kitchen. All that got her was a quick glance and a no thanks.
Back in her room, Randi plopped down on the bed to dry her hair, consider the problem, and work through her frustration. Since moving home, sheâd noticed a change in Jimâs manner. He tried to hide it, but she recognized the signs. Her kid brother had the hots for her. But if she was right, why was he trying to ignore her?
Maybe the idea of incest turned him off, or maybe sheâd been wrong about Jim wanting her. After all, she probably wasnât his type. Heâd dated Shirley Matson for ages. Friends called her slender and elegant. Otherâs said she was skinny and prissy. But everyone agreed she was beautiful. Randi knew none of those terms applied to her.
In fact, Randi wasnât a true beauty, but men seldom noticed. She was a flirtatious party-girl with striking green eyes, a mischievous smile, a figure that was more than adequate, and nice long legs. But what she saw in her mirror was a big butt, small boobs, a face no more than average, and heavy thighs.
Still, if she was right about Jim being interested in her, then tonightâs failures had nothing to do with her looks. The problem must be some hang-up about coming on to his sister. The incest taboo didnât faze her. After all, sheâd made love to her own Aunt. But Jim was something of a straight arrow.
Still, he was also healthy, horny, and had been checking her out. That meant the odds were in her favor. The big problem was getting his undivided attention. Once that was accomplished, making him see her not just as his sister but as an available and very willing female should be a snap.
After two failed tries, however, it was obvious more direct action would be needed to get his mind off that damn English assignment and onto her. For just a second, she considered pretending to see a Peeping Tom. Sheâd scream, run into his room buck naked, and jump into bed with him. But knowing Jim, heâd jump right out, grab a pistol and, storm or no storm, go looking around outside. Besides, there was one other plan she wanted to try first. But if it didnât workâwho knew?
So now she was standing in her brotherâs bedroom doorway, freshly showered with her strawberry-blonde hair dried and brushed out. Other than a touch of make-up around the eyes and a dab of perfume, all she had on was the long t-shirt sheâd worn earlier. It featured a big, toothy grin and the words, âCandyâs dandy, but sex donât cause cavities.â Sheâd swiped it off a pre-dental student she once slept with.
With her arms demurely at her sides, the t-shirtâs hem barely covered her patch of reddish pubs. But since nothing else had worked, that position was about to change. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the room and strode over to the side of his bed.
âJim, I need your opinion on something.â
