I woke up the next morning and my arm was completely numb. Maggie was sprawled out me and my arm was trapped underneath her. One of her legs was draped over mine and her body was molded against me. Jess had apparently gotten up in the middle of the night and moved to my other side. She was curled up against me as well, her arm draped across my chest.
All in all, there are worse ways to wake up.
A stirring beside me drew my attention over to Maggie. She was awake and looking up at me.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“What for?” I whispered back.
“For watching you two as much as I did. I shouldn’t have.”
“So why did you?”
“I dunno. I would tell myself every night I wouldn’t go, then every night I’d find myself watching.”
“We should have made sure the door was fully closed I guess.”
“Yeah.” she nodded slightly as a blush rose across her face. “But I’m glad you didn’t.”
“Oh? Why’s that?” I teased.
She didn’t answer that. Instead, she blushed even more and looked away.
“Not saying anything? Does that mean you…? You know?”
“Hush. A single girl has needs.” We both laughed a little as she shook her head in embarrassment.
“Every time?” I asked, my arousal growing at the image of her masturbating to Jess and me.
“Every. Time.” she breathed into my ear.
Maggie’s leg rose up mine until her thigh brushed against my erection. We both inhaled sharply as her leg pressed into it, and she swallowed hard as she looked at me.
“I meant what I said last night, Jace. I love you. I have for a long time. I know you don’t feel the same way, but I had to say it.”
“Oh, Maggie,” I said, moving a stray hair away from her face. I looked at her, feeling emotions I knew I shouldn’t for her, emotions that conflicted with how I felt for Jess. Emotions I couldn’t deny. “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”
Without any prompting, she leaned in and kissed me. This time, I kissed her back immediately. Her tongue slid around my lips as she pressed against me, squishing her breasts against my side. After a minute, she broke the kiss and lay back beside me.
“I had to do that,” she said.
“I know. I’m glad you did.” I said.
“Me too,” Jess said, making both of us jump. Maggie let out the breath she’d gasped, then slumped and buried her head against my side.
“God, kill me now,” she mumbled.
“It’s okay, Maggie,” Jess said, reaching over and rubbing her shoulder.
“No, it’s not,” she said, lifting her head. “He’s yours but for some reason, I can’t control myself.”
“Listen,” Jess said as she stood up and stretched. “Why don’t we all get cleaned up? It’s been a long night and I think we’d all feel better after some showers and clean clothes.”
We both nodded in agreement. Maggie untangled herself from me, and blood rushed into my arm. Pins and needles!!
As I coaxed feeling back into my fingers, Jess and I left her bedroom and headed for ours. We showered separately, not wanting to aggravate the problem any more than it already was. We met Maggie in the kitchen. She had changed into a sweatshirt and jeans, and the sight took my breath away. She really was beautiful, and I immediately felt guilty for thinking it.
Sitting down at the table, we just stared at each other for a few moments.
“Okay.” Jess began. “Spill. No holding back today, okay? This goes for all of us.” We all nodded.
“So,” Jess said gently to Maggie. “I know you love him. He has feelings for you as well.”
“Jess-” I started to protest, but Jess shushed me.
“It’s okay, baby.” she kissed my cheek. “I’ve known for a while. As I’ve said before, I know what we have and what we do is unconventional, to say the least. I’m not jealous or upset.”
“You’re not?” I asked in disbelief.
“Not at all.”
Jess took my hand and gave it a squeeze. She gave me a sweet smile, and I couldn’t help but smile back. From the corner of my eye, I saw Maggie close her eyes and nod.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do this. I’ll call my parole officer Monday morning,” she said defeatedly. “See if I can go back to Logan.”
“The hell you will!” Jess and I both exclaimed.
“I have to!” she cried. “What choice do I have?! I’m in love with a man who is completely committed to his sister. And to top it all off, I’m literally shackled to their house and can’t leave.”
She looked at Jess.
“Jess.” Maggie said, “There’s no way I’m going to take him from you, and I can’t… I won’t ask him to choose me over you. And I can’t stay here, because I know you two will try to be nice and stop the ‘sexy-time’ with each other. But it won’t work and we’ll just be right back here.”
Maggie took a deep breath.
“Besides, I’ve seen your attacks and how he’s the only one who can help. I’ve also seen how he cares for you. How he’d do anything for you. He will never leave you, and I will never ask him to.”
She stood, tears starting to fall from her blue eyes.
“You’ve become a sister to me and I love you. I couldn’t hurt you if I tried, and taking him away would be disastrous for you. You don’t need to worry about anything. I won’t say a word to anyone, but I can’t stay here. If I do, I get to watch the only two people I have ever really cared about be together.” She sighed then added. “Without me. And that will kill me.”
Maggie turned to go, but I rushed to my feet and stopped her. I pulled her to me, and she buried her face into my chest, sobs wracking her body. I held her in my arms, comforting her as I could. Jess walked over and hugged us both from behind Maggie.
“Maggie,” Jess whispered. “You’re not going anywhere. This is your home.”
Maggie lifted her head. “So what am I going to do?”
“Do you know why Jace and I make love?” Jess asked.
“You’re in love and it feels good,” she said defeatedly.
“Yes, that’s part of it. Another part is that he kind of has to.”
“I’m, sorry? What?” she asked, confused.
“The only reason my attacks haven’t been more frequent and severe is because when he cums inside me, he stays with me. Inside me. It’s like a part of me knows he’s always with me in the most intimate way.”
