“Are you just going to stare at me?” she asked after she stifled her giggling.
I chuckled to myself, “Sorry. I wasn’t expecting you.”
“Oh?” she asked slyly, “Who were you expecting?”
“No one,” I said as I looked around the parking lot and found that it was only Emma that had arrived.
“Can I come in?” she asked
I nodded, “Sure.”
Emma and I walked into the building. I looked out worriedly before I shut the door to the building. I lead Emma up the flight of stairs and to my room. Her perfume filled my nose. It was soft and sweet, just like she was. I turned and watched as she glided across the hard cement flooring until we reached my room. She moved so sensually. When Kelly walked, it was as if she needed to flaunt every bit of her for a man to see. Emma being so reserved was the exact opposite. When Emma stepped into my room, she looked around and nodded.
“Well, it definitely looks like a man lives here.” She said as she set down the canvas bag.
“It has only been a day, Emma.”
“I know.”
“Do you?”
She nodded, “But, it felt like more time has passed.”
I sat down behind my desk and took a deep breath. “How are things at home? Is Kelly behaving?”
She nodded. “Things are ok. Like you said, it has only been a day. Mom is still in and out of it. The doctors are going to give her a check up.”
“Good.” I said. “Emma?”
“Yes?”
“Why are you here?”
Emma smiled, “Because I felt like visiting you.”
“You biked all the way across town to visit me? I would have been home in a few days.”
“I know, but I missed you.” She said. She turned and placed the canvas bag onto my desk. “I also made you a few things you can keep in your refrigerator. I don’t want you eating fast food all the time. I made some of your favorites, chili, beef stew and chicken pot pie.”
I smiled, “Thanks.”
She walked around the desk and stood in front of me. She took a deep breath, “I also came here because I missed you so much.”
“Emma…”
She ran a finger through her hair and tucked some behind her ear. She looked around cutely, “I know it’s silly. It has only been a day, but it is what I feel. Kelly hasn’t made a stink at all about what you had said that day. I’m not gong to either, but I can’t help but feel this desire.”
“Desire?”
“I…” Emma struggled to say it. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and nodded to herself. “I want you. I desire to be with you, Rob.”
“Emma…”
“No, listen to me. I know what was said that day was meant for everyone to walk away from everything without being hurt. I don’t know. I just need you. You can’t blame me. You were my first and I want you to be my only.” Emma said softly. She took a few steps towards me. Her knees touched mine as the space that was once between us disappeared. Her hands reached out and touched mine. “You can’t fault a woman for wanting the man that made her that… a woman.”
I felt like shit. I felt like the world’s worst man, let alone the world’s worst brother. My gut twisted and turned as everything that I sought to resolve was for nothing. Leaving my home to resolve the situation only proved to have been in vain. I took hold of her soft and delicate hands. “Emma…”
She leaned down and kissed me softly on the lips. The kiss melted my heart. The kiss melted my will the resist tainting the situation even further. The kiss made me desire her more than I ever could. I reached around her tiny waist and pulled her close to me. I ran my hands up and down her back as I kissed her deeply.
She broke the kiss and exhaled daintily. “Wow…”
I leaned in to kiss her again, but she held me off with her fingers on my lips, “Wait…”
“What is it?”
“You do know I love you, right?”
I nodded, “I love you too.”
She shook her head slowly, “No, Rob. I love you. Not just as a brother, but as the only man in my life. I love you as the only man I will ever want. I don’t care about the rest of the world. I just care about us. I just care about the love that I have for you. All I want is you, no more, no less.”
“Emma… you do know the love we have… it is taboo. It isn’t how siblings should behave. We crossed a line that we shouldn’t have.”
She nodded. “I know.”
“It’s wrong.”
She nodded.
“What you and I have? What Kelly and I have-”
“What Kelly and you have is none of my concern.” She said sharply. “I only care about what we have. And I do mean what we have. I don’t want it thrown away because you left the house. If it means I come here when you are free once every day or once every week or once every month so that we can enjoy each other, than so be it. I will not lose what I finally discovered. I will not lose the love that you brought into my life.”
Emma was serious. I looked into her eyes and saw that she was sincere with everything she said. I nodded slowly. “I won’t stop you.”
“No, I don’t need you to adhere to what I am doing, Rob.” She said as she moved slowly and sat on my lap. She wrapped her arms around me. “I want you to want me to be here. I want you to want me to be close to you. Do you understand?”
I nodded. I wrapped my arms around Emma. I held my sister close. I felt the warmth of her body encompass me. She leaned into me and I smelled her essence. I was in heaven. I felt her lips kiss my cheek and worked their way to my lips. Her kisses were warm and slightly moist. They were soft, pleasant and caring. Her kisses were everything that Emma was. I pulled her for a deeper kiss. I slid my tongue into her mouth and was met with hers. We sat there kissing. It was passionate. It was amazing. It was everything that I would expect from Emma.
She pulled her head away and broke the kiss slowly. She looked around and her eyes stopped at the futon. “Is the futon comfortable?”
I smiled, “It’s a futon, Emma.”
“Can we…”
She needed to say no more. I got up from my chair with Emma in my arms and carried her over to the futon. I set her down gently and took her in. She was breathing taking. She laid there smiling as she looked back at me with her crystal blue eyes. Her hair framed her face perfectly like an artist painting someone that he was infatuated with. Every strand of hair seemed was perfectly placed.
She stretched her arms out to me, “Come here.”
I moved onto her slowly and carefully. She wasn’t Kelly. Emma was delicate. Emma was like a fragile flower that one needed to take extra care while smelling its floral scent. As I moved into her waiting arms, she wrapped them around me and held me close.
“I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too, Emma.”
She kissed me softly. She pushed me off of her slowly. I lay down next to her never breaking the eye contact that we had established. Her hands moved to the lacy hem of her dress. She pulled it up slowly. A lump formed in my throat. The garment inched higher and higher revealing her silky legs. I licked my lips. She pulled the hem higher and revealed the light pink panties she wore underneath the dress. I saw the impression of her pussy on the fabric. I held her hand from pulling the dress any higher.
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” she asked.
“Emma, I moved away to solve the issue with all three of us.”
Emma smiled and shook her head slowly, “No, Rob, you moved away to solve the issue between Kelly and I. You moved away to take yourself out of the equation. Without you being at the home, Kelly and I won’t fight. Without you in the house tempting the two of your sisters, we won’t feel like you picked one over the other. With you placing yourself on neutral ground, Kelly and I no longer have anything to argue about.”
I sat back shocked by what she said. “What?”
Emma smiled again, but it wasn’t her usual warm and loving smile. It was a smile of mischievousness. It was something I never seen before from Emma. She reached up and touched my face. “In my heart, I hoped that you would have taken the high-ground and leave. I prayed for it. I had dreams before any of this ever happened that would you move out and I would come to be with you after I confessed my love. No one in the family would know. Then, dad passed… you stepped up… we all had to. With mom being the way she was after her sickness… it was all hands on deck. My dream never got a chance to happen.” She reached up and touched my lips. “In a way, you coming in that night and made love to me was the best thing that could have happened. Though, I wished it wasn’t all spurred on by Kelly.”
“Emma…”
“I may be nice.” Emma said sweetly as she tilted her head, “But, I do want what I want.”
“… but, what about Kelly?” I asked as a terrible feeling began to grow from my gut. “She has the same kind of feelings too.”
“I knew she came here to see you.”
“What?”
She nodded.
“But…”
“We talked about it when she came home.”
I sat back stricken by disbelief. “Emma… I’m sorry…”
She held her hand up, “It’s ok.”
“What do you mean it is ok?”
“She is my twin, Rob. I know her better than anyone else. She knows me better than anyone else. When she came home and I was about to get things ready for work, she stunk of sex. I sat her down and merely looked at her quietly. She spilled everything.”
I wanted to slap myself. I shook my head in shame. “Emma, I can’t control myself. I don’t know what is wrong with me.”
She pulled me close to her and kissed me softly on the lips. “I know.”
“You do?”
She nodded, “You love your sisters as much as they love you. No one else will do. No other woman can satisfy you. You want no one else. That is fine with me. I am… we are actually honored by that. But, after a long talk with Kelly, we worked something out. She is my sister. We were raised to love our family. And love I will.”
“What are you saying?!” I said angrily. “I don’t fucking know what is going on! So, I moved away for nothing? I upended my life and moved into this shitty little office for nothing? You are telling me I could have stayed home in my own room?”
“No.”
“No?”
