Every character in this story who participates in sexual activities is 18 years or older. A special thanks to my wife who inspired this story when she recently confided in me how she secretly felt about her older brother who has been deceased for more than a decade. He was a proud Marine who died in his late forties.
This story centers around a plan to make Beth's ex-boyfriend jealous after she learns he has been cheating on her with other coeds. Beth asked her big brother to pretend to be an old friend from back home and take her to the college homecoming dance. It was meant to make her boyfriend jealous but backfires when hidden desires bubble forth and brother and sister become eager lovers.
It was a cold winter morning in January when the State Trooper knocked on Sam Benson's door; shaking him out of a deep slumber. It was 3:05 A.M. New Year's Day and a light dusting of snow covered the streets. Sam barely heard the words of the State Trooper as he explained how the life of his only daughter and son-in-law ended on an icy highway early on the first day of the new year. They were on their way home from a company-sponsored New Year's party. The Trooper informed Sam that his two small grandchildren had been picked up from the sitter and were in protective custody. Since Sam and his wife, Vera were the only living relatives, the Trooper left Sam with a paper explaining the steps necessary to take charge of the children.
Two days later, when the children went to live with their grandparents, Logan was nine, almost ten, and Beth was five. The children knew their grandparents but had not been around them enough to feel comfortable. Once the children were informed of their parents' death, young Beth clung to her big brother and refused to be separated even for a short time. Logan was equally protective of his little sister. It took almost six months for them to sleep in separate bedrooms. Even then during a loud thunderstorm Beth would rush to her brother's room and snuggle in his protective arms. After about a year she finally adjusted and began to prefer the privacy of her own room.
When Beth entered the first grade, it was difficult for her to be separated from Logan for most of the day. However, young Logan understood his sister's fears and made it a point to visit her throughout the day when his class schedule permitted. Even though Beth was four years younger than Logan, he tried to include her in everything he did; even if it meant letting her tag along with him when he socialized with friends. Somewhere along the way, Beth began to see Logan as her strong masculine figure. He became her father figure. Her Dad was becoming only a fading memory, and Logan was filling that role. By the time Logan graduated from High school, Beth had developed friendships with other boys and girls which helped fill the empty gap that was created when Logan went off to college.
Logan tried to ease her separation anxiety by frequently calling or writing letters. He always made it a point to send her a birthday card and a present when he couldn't make it home for the celebration. He never missed being there for her during the holidays. Logan tried to e-mail or speak directly with her each day he was away. When Logan graduated college, he accepted a commission as a Second Lt. with the U.S. Marine Corps. To her dismay, during his time at boot camp, their contact was limited to weekend phone calls. The Boot Camp separation was followed with three months at Officer's Candidate School. That was rough on Beth but not nearly as rough as it was when Logan was deployed to Afghanistan for a year. His missions and locations were classified. They went without any contact for weeks and sometimes months. It was a hard time indeed for both of them. Beth learned to manage it but looked forward to their next reunion.
When Logan finished his tour of duty, he returned stateside and was stationed in Southern California at Camp Pendleton, just north of San Diego. Beth was starting her sophomore year at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and they had been unable to see each other before he reported for duty at Camp Pendleton. They were now separated by the full width of the U.S. Continent, and Logan promised to visit her at the first opportunity. Beth missed her big brother but was beginning to adjust to life without him. Logan tried to transfer to the Naval Base at Norfolk, but the Marine Corps had other plans for him. He was promoted to Captain and put in command of a company of Marines. He could hear her pain each time they spoke on the phone and would assure her he could hop a military transport if she ever really needed him. He promised to be there within a few hours if she ever summoned him.
When a photo of Beth in her Old Dominion cheerleader outfit arrived in the mail, Logan didn't recognize her at first. She was taller, slimmer and more filled out than he last remembered. Her long blond hair was down to her shoulders, and her sparkling blue eyes pierced his very soul. She had grown into a beautiful young woman, and he felt uneasy about the way he viewed her now. He felt guilty when his cock became hard while viewing that photo. He kept reciting to himself, "I am an officer and a gentleman. I am an officer and a gentleman." The erection finally went away after some time. He could never envision himself violating her sexually because he had a moral obligation to remain her protector and had every intention of living up to that obligation.
Beth dated Jeff Henderson most of her freshman year at college. Jeff was the handsome star quarterback at Old Dominion and coeds were always hitting on him. Beth was proud to call him her boyfriend and often fantasized about becoming Mrs. Henderson. That's why it broke her heart to find that Jeff had a fleeting eye and flirted with most women. He even had sex with a few women behind Beth's back. When she found out about those other women, the humiliation caused her to break up with him. It was just weeks before the big annual homecoming celebration was to take place. Beth is a cheerleader, and it would be embarrassing for her not to have a date for homecoming. She decided not to attend the dance and fell into a deep depression.
Beth's roommate, Susy Jordan tried to convince her she had an obligation to attend the homecoming dance because of her cheerleader status. Everyone expected her to be there with a date. Beth and Susy shared a lovely two-bedroom apartment just off campus. Susy suggested Beth find another date and flaunt him around Jeff. The new boyfriend had to be someone spectacular. Someone Jeff would be extremely envious of and jealous to the point of he would be pleading for her to forgive him. Susy reminded Beth that she is a gorgeous young woman that anyone would be proud to be seen with.
Beth didn't think it would be possible to find someone at that late date until a bizarre idea popped into her head. Beth had been adopted by her grandparents to qualify under their health insurance and had taken their last name, Benson. Logan had kept his father's last name, Miller, because he had received ample coverage through high school and college because he played football. Since they both had different last names, no one would ever know they were brother and sister. Beth's plan required her big brother, Logan to travel to Virginia and pretend to be an ex-boyfriend from back home during the Homecoming festivities. For that plan to work Beth couldn't tell anyone Logan was her brother; not even her roommate, Susy could know he and Beth were related. Beth locked herself in the bathroom and called Logan.
Logan answered the call on the fourth ring. It took him a few minutes to wake up and collect his thoughts.
"Good morning, Baby Sister. What's so important that you have to call so early in the morning," Logan asked. Logan had always called her Baby Sister. It was a term of endearment.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Logan. I forgot about the time difference between the East Coast and the West Coast. Would you like for me to call you back later?"
"No...No, I can tell by your voice it is something significant. What is it I can do for my favorite Baby Sister?"
"I'm your only Baby Sister, silly." She laughed.
"I know, but you are still my favorite person in the whole wide world. What can I do for you on this early autumn morn?"
"Oh...Logan, I feel so terrible waking you for this." She whimpered.
"Don't worry about it, Sis. What do you need?" He was wide awake now, and she could detect it in his voice.
"This is going to sound ridiculous, I know, but I need a date for the big homecoming dance next weekend."
