Luna caught the omission again, the change in tone when he mentioned Robbie.
“Joey, who’s Robbie? Is he from around here? What’s his family, perhaps I know them?”
Joey grinned.
“Robbie is like my kid brother; his name is Robbie Dolan. I guess you must have heard THAT name!”
Luna looked astonished.
“That was the boy who disappeared! The whole town was buzzing with it. They still are! Everyone thought his family did something to him, he just disappeared and no-one knew where he was. You mean you knew all along?”
Joey nodded, his eyes far away, the soft golden brown suddenly hard and unforgiving as polished agates as memory flooded back.
“Robbie’s family didn’t give a damn about him. His whole life they just kind of wished he’d never been born; they treated him like he wasn’t good enough to be one of them, so they left him out of their family, their lives, everything they ever did. They had no room for him in their family, and so my mom took care of him when his own family wouldn’t. He became part of this family; he became my kid brother, and when he needed help, my mom and my uncle Frank did what they could, and now Robbie lives out West, with a new name, a family who loves him, all the things he never had here.”
Luna nodded slowly.
“I remember there was a… scandal; something about a scholarship, and a… sister? Yeah, that’s right; she had something to do with it. I only transferred-in to Ellenbrook when I was 14, so I wasn’t there when all this happened, but I remember the story about her graduation, how she got booed and slow-handclapped off the stage; she was supposed to be some piece of work!”
Joey cocked his head at her.
“It’s not quite as simple as that; you don’t know the whole story yet…” he rebuked her gently. “Robbie’s sister looked for him, she searched for him for years, she was sorry, really sorry for what she helped do to him, and she really tried to find him so she could make it right with him.”
Luna backpedalled, realizing she’d just touched a sore spot.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know; all I really know about what happened is what was going around the school; when it comes to the Dolan family, there’s a whole lot of no-talking going on, even now. What happened, did she ever find him?”
Joey grinned.
“Oh yes, she found him!” he said, almost to himself. “She found him and she made it right. Now she’s happy, and Robbie’s happy; they’re both happy.”
Luna suddenly realised the reason for Joey telling her so much; he was sharing his life with her, finally letting her know who he was, and the knowledge made her smile, something Joey picked up on right away.
“What, what did I miss?” he asked playfully, and Luna reached out to take his hand again, sliding closer to him on the couch so they were almost hip to hip. Her nearness was doing things to him as well.
“Thank you for sharing, Joey Anderson!” she grinned, and leaned forward, her lips brushing his. Joey almost recoiled, then leaned in, once again tasting her, revelling in her kiss. Luna moved closer, her arm reaching out to encircle his neck, while his arms went around her waist, holding her close as they kissed, gently at first, then more and more passionately as their feelings took hold. Joey found himself leaning backwards as Luna leaned more of her weight on him, until he was almost prone on the sofa, leaning against the armrest with Luna almost on top of him.
Joey was uncomfortably aware of his erection pressing against the front of his jeans, the kiss stimulating him more than he could have believed; she must have felt it too as it pressed into the soft skin of her flat stomach, but she said nothing, continuing to kiss him as she undulated gently against him. When they broke for air, she grinned down at him once again.
“So what do we do now, Joey?” she asked him, her eyes dancing. Joey grinned in reply, keeping the mood light.
“I dunno, what do you think?”
Luna tried to look demure as she smiled.
“Well, I’m sure I don’t know either, but you’re a grown-up, I’m a grown-up, there’s something I’ve been wanting to do with you for a while now, what say we go somewhere and find out if it’s something we both wanna do?”
Joey raised an eyebrow in mock concern.
“Miss Hollister, are… are you trying to seduce me?” he quavered in a fairly accurate impression of Dustin Hoffman in ‘The Graduate’, making Luna smile.
“Let me think, now; you just kissed me real convincing, like, your hands are like one inch from grabbing my butt, there’s no-one else here kissing you back, what do you think?”
Joey grinned even wider.
“Good, I’m so glad, I thought I’d lost it!” he murmured, sliding his hands down to cup Luna’s taut ass as he pulled her closer for a longer, even more satisfying kiss, Luna responding by wriggling and grinding against him, making him gasp.
“You really need to do something about that!” she giggled as she broke their kiss, “and I think I know what works for that; follow me!”
She pulled him by the hand as she stood up, Joey a little reluctant to stand to follow her. Luna looked at him quizzically as he blushed.
“Maybe we should wait…” he began, and once again her eyebrow lifted in that naggingly familiar way as she smiled faintly.
“Joe Anderson, we’ve been dancing around each other for nigh on three months now; I don’t know about you, but tonight I’m done waiting for you! Now, are you coming with me or not?”
Joey nodded, but still seemed reluctant. Luna cupped his chin as she looked up into his eyes.
“What’s wrong, Joey, really? If you don’t tell me, I can’t help you.”
Joey looked away in embarrassment. “Luna, it’s been a long time since… since I did anything like this, what if…”
Luna cut him off smoothly, a knowing smile curving her lips.
“You’ll be fine; it’s just like riding a bike, only softer… and a lot more naked!”
Joey grinned as he followed her upstairs, wondering what he was getting himself into, but eager for the chance to find out. Once in his bedroom, Sarah’s old room, with the queen-size bed, Luna took him by the hands and looked into his eyes.
“Now or never, Joey, this is what it comes down to; we can do this, and I really want to, or you can ask me to leave, and we’ll never know. Dealer’s choice, Joey.”
In answer, Joey pulled her closer and kissed her again, his hands sliding down her back to once more cup and squeeze her firm, shapely ass through her fashionably faded jeans. As he kissed and fondled her, Luna reached up and began unbuttoning his shirt, grinning in the midst of their kiss as he in turn fumbled with the waistband of her jeans. Finally, Joey left off trying to unbutton Luna’s jeans to yank off his shirt, while Luna unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans to let him push them down past her hips. Luna smiled and wriggled and shimmied until her jeans dropped to the floor, allowing her to step out of the scrunched-up garment and kick it away.
Joey’s kiss intensified as his hands now slid and roamed unimpeded over her panty-clad bottom, finally pushing the waistband of the skimpy panties down to clasp and squeeze her naked buttocks, smoothing the soft, silky cheeks with his hands, lost in the sensual texture of her naked skin.
“How about you, mister?” whispered Luna, smiling back at Joey’s answering grin. He stepped away to unbutton his jeans and kick them off, then reached up to unbutton Luna’s blouse as they resumed their kiss. Luna pulled herself closer to him, grinding her crotch against his, making him groan mid-kiss, the heat of her pussy evident even through the material of his shorts. Joey lost all remaining inhibitions at that point, pulling Luna’s blouse off and reaching behind her to unclasp her bra all in one move.
Luna seemed to be in the same place, her lips glued to his as she hooked the waistband of Joey’s shorts, pulling them down until his engorged cock fell into her waiting hand. She squeezed it gently, feeling the texture and tenseness of it, enjoying his soft groan as she slowly pumped him, making him even harder.
“Don’t… please… I can’t…” he gasped, but Luna cut him short.
“No Joey, let me do this, then it’ll be better, I promise!”
Joey leaned back against the wall, his eyes screwed shut as all his need centered in what Luna was doing, her insistent pumping and squeezing of his already sensitive member bringing him on. Luna glanced up at him, at his tight-closed eyes and the pulse beating in his throat, guessing how close he was, and squeezed a little harder as she pumped once more.
“Oooh GOD! Aaahhh!” groaned Joey as orgasm rose wild and unstoppable in him, Luna angling him towards herself as long spurts of semen sprayed from him, coating her belly as she held herself close to him. Joey’s head rang with the force of his climax, the first since before Karen had died.
Only the beautiful girl holding herself against him prevented him falling to his knees with the shock of his release. His heart pounded as the sweetly agonising totality of his orgasm rolled through and over him, obliterating all sound and vision, and his body shimmered and trembled like a softly struck bell.
As the noise in his head gradually subsided, he slowly became aware of her whispering encouragement to him even as her hand continued to pump him, his ejaculation now tamed to a thick trickle that crept down over her clenched fist as she pumped him dry.
