“Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou.” she blurted out through her tears.
A few minutes later, we disentangled ourselves and gave her a tour of the house. We decided on letting her have our parents’ old room. It had a dedicated bathroom and was on the other end of the house. They had taken their bed when they moved, but we had turned it into a guest room already. Now we had a guest to put in it.
When we got to the kitchen, she froze when she saw the picture window. Years ago, she had thrown a cinder block through it. We watched as the memories washed over her, tears forming in her eyes again.
“God, I’m so sorry,” she said shakily, not taking her eyes off it.
“We know,” I said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
My touch pulled her out of her memories and she spun around, holding onto me. Maggie’s fingers clutched at my back as if she were afraid I’d slip away. I just hugged her back. Jess came over and hugged her from behind, sandwiching her between us.
“It’s okay,” Jess whispered. “That’s all the in the past. You’re home now.”
Hearing Jess tell her she was home was the last straw and Maggie crumpled to the ground, pulling us with her. She was openly weeping now, an odd mixture of happiness and regret.
“I don’t deserve this,” she said after a few moments.
“We’ll be the judges of that,” I said.
“Come on,” Jess said, pulling her to her feet. “Let’s get you cleaned up, then we’ll go shopping for clothes.”
Maggie looked at us questioningly. We had arranged this with her parole officer once we had approval for her to live with us. She had very little in the way of personal items that weren’t prison issue, and we were pretty sure her parents hadn’t kept anything, even if we could find them to ask. The girl needed clothes and Jess was going to be her personal shopper.
Maggie cleaned herself up then met us in the garage for a quick trip to the mall.
*****
When I go to the mall, I do a surgical, tactical strike. There’s no window shopping. There’s no browsing. I’m in, get what I came for, then out. I can get a whole new wardrobe in about thirty minutes, mainly to make sure the pants fit before I buy several of the same style.
Jess can spend an afternoon choosing between two plain t-shirts with different necks. Jess getting to shop with and for Maggie? Well, let’s just say I was just glad I was wearing my comfortable shoes.
Relegated to the position of “Bag Holder”, I dutifully followed behind the two women as they went into nearly every store with clothes. The one electronics store I was interested in was skipped completely.
While Maggie was trying on an outfit, Jess gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.
“You’ve been so good with us today,” she said softly. “Thank you for this.”
“My pleasure.” I smiled back.
“Well, tonight it really will be,” she said in a sultry tone.
“Mmmm.” I groaned. “We’ll have to be quiet though. Don’t want to wake the kids.”
“Just like old times.” she laughed, then whispered in my ear, “Think you’ll be able to keep quiet when you fill your little sister with your sticky cum, big brother?”
Maggie came out, and I was suddenly glad that I was carrying a store’s worth of bags. They helped hide the erection that Jess had given me.
Finally, we stopped at Victoria’s Secret. I remained outside at a nearby bench while the girls went inside. About fifteen minutes later they emerged, each with small, dainty bags in their hands. I asked what they’d bought, but Jess just said it was none of my business. Maggie blushed and clutched the bag tighter as if I might somehow peek inside.
As much fun as this had been, we had to get back before her curfew went into effect. On the way home, my phone rang. It was work. Some of our afternoon processes had been corrupted and they needed me there to oversee the recovery. Mom would be there, but I had taken over many of her duties and this was one that I had to oversee.
“Go.” Jess said, understandingly, “We’ll be fine. We’ll order pizza.” she looked back at Maggie. “Real pizza, not whatever they served at Logan.”
“Save me a slice.” I joked.
I dropped them off at home, then continued on into the office.
It was nearly six hours before I was able to leave. Everything was running smoothly now, but it had been several long hours before we could call everything good. I was starting to call Jess when my phone rang, interrupting my dialing. Surprisingly, Jess was calling me.
“Hey, I was ju-”
“Jace?!” Maggie cried.
“Maggie? What’s wrong?”
“It’s Jessica,” she said, her voice frantic.
“What’s going on?” I asked even as I felt the color drain from my face. In my heart I knew what was happening but I was really hoping I was wrong.
“I don’t know. She won’t respond to me. She’s just sitting here. rocking back and forth.”
“Oh shit,” I said.
“She started looking for you, but wouldn’t listen when I said where you were. She started going through the house and-”
“Maggie!” I interrupted, “Put me on speaker.”
“Okay,” she said a moment later, her voice sounding further away.
“Jess? Jess, honey, can you hear me?”
“Jace?!” Jess cried out.
“I’m on my way, just listen to my voice.”
“Oh God! Where are you?”
“I’m on the phone. I’m almost home. Just listen to my voice.”
There was a brief commotion over the phone as Jess grabbed the phone out of Maggie’s hands.
“Jace?” Jessica called out.
“I’m here. Just breathe. Deep breaths honey. I’m almost there.”
For the next ten minutes I talked to her calmly as I could as I raced home. I would tell her what street I was on and how close I was to home. She had calmed down a good bit, but she was still on edge. I felt like an idiot for not bringing her with me. We hadn’t made love in a few days, and I guess she no longer felt me inside her. Plus, even though she wouldn’t admit it, Maggie’s presence was a big stressor which being alone with her might have triggered it.
I pulled into the driveway and ran inside. As soon as I stepped inside, Jess’ head snapped around towards me. In a flash, she was off the sofa and jumped on me. We toppled to the ground, Jess wrapped around me while burying her face in my neck. Maggie watched on in a mixture of terror and confusion. She had heard of Jess’ attacks, but witnessing one is a completely different matter.
“Shhhh,” I said, rocking her gently. “Shhhh. It’s okay. I’m here.”
Maggie looked as if she wanted to do something, but I gently shook my head. There wasn’t anything she could do for this. The only thing she could do was retreat to the other side of the room and watch. We sat like this for several minutes as she calmed down and returned to her normal self. Finally, she looked up at me confused, then realization hit.
“Fuck,” Jess whispered.
“Now? Maggie might ask some questions.” I whispered back, smiling and trying to inject a little levity to the moment.
Jess leaned towards me and rested her forehead on mine.
“I’m sorry, baby.” she breathed.
“Don’t be. I love you.”
“I love you too, forever.”
Jess slowly stood up, then helped me get up. My bad leg had fallen asleep and my first few attempts were embarrassing.
“Thank you for calling me, Maggie,” I said.
“Yeah,” Jess said quietly. “Thank you.”
“I didn’t know what else to do,” Maggie said.
“You did exactly what you should have done,” I reassured her. “There was nothing else you could do.”
“I’m sorry, Maggie,” Jess said wearily.
“Are you okay?” Maggie asked Jess.
“Yeah. It’s like we told you long ago. When one of those hits there’s nothing that works except Jace. A part of me knows what’s going on and knows I’m being irrational and that I need to relax and calm down, but I can’t. It’s like trying to hold your breath. You can do it for a little bit but eventually, you can’t fight it anymore and you have to breathe.”
Jess leaned against me for support.
“I need to lay down,” Jess said wearily.
“I think it’s a good idea for all of us to get some sleep,” I said. “Maggie, are you okay?”
“Yeah. No. I don’t know, to be honest.”
I walked over and gave her a quick hug.
“I know,” I reassured her. “It’s a little uncomfortable to see, especially the first time. Let’s get some sleep. Everything will be fine in the morning. I promise.”
Maggie said goodnight then retreated into her room. I helped Jess up the stairs and, making sure we weren’t seen, into our room. Jess pulled me close and kissed me passionately as soon as we were alone.
“Thought you were tired,” I said, enjoying the feel of her body against mine
“I am. But I don’t think I can get through the night without you inside me.”
Jess pulled me to the bed, shedding her clothes as I did the same. I barely had time to turn off the light before she pulled me on top of her, kissing me and running her hands across my back.
I kissed down her neck, taking a moment to nibble on her ear before I continued down. I gently kneaded her breasts, sucking on her nipples. They hardened between my lips as Jess arched her back and moaned softly. I spent time at each one, making sure neither felt it was being neglected.
I kissed further down, across her belly button and down further. Jess knew what I was after, and she lifted her legs for me, spreading them apart. She reached down and spend her pussy open easier access. I couldn’t fully see, but experience allowed me to pull her closer to me as I knelt beside the bed. My tongue slid between her lips and up toward her clit. I wrapped my lips around her little jewel, sucking gently while running my tongue across it.
Her juices ran down my chin as I slid a finger inside. She gasped and her body shivered as I massaged her insides at the same time my tongue massaged her clitoris. Her hips bucked, and I had to hold her as I continued to pleasure her. A moment later, Jess went rigid, and a muffled cry sounded above me. When her body went limp, I slowed down, still savoring her taste. Not wanting to leave, I slid another finger inside, pumping them slowly in and out of her quivering body. She started shaking as I sped up, my tongue whipping across her clit at a faster pace.
“Oh fuck!” I heard her muted cry as she climaxed again, my fingers and tongue continuing to drive her over the edge as she came.
I stood up and I could finally see Jess laying on the bed, chest rising and falling hard and fast. She had used a pillow to muffle her cries.
