“I’m not his babysitter or his mother and he can do whatever he wants with you or anyone. I’m just not going to help you try to seduce him into your arms. Besides, I don’t think that you have any problems getting a man to follow you back to your bedroom.” Melinda saw her, as a threat in the way that she carried herself with that low strapless dress that made it impossible for her not to notice that Shelia was blessed in many ways. “I’m just his stepsister and I’m getting to know him. Putting me into this position would be making light of the fact that we’re here to get to know each other.” Melinda was making it very clear to Sheila that she was not going to stop any kind of shenanigans in the middle of the night.
“I thought that we were sisters and that, as women, we look after each other. I guess I was misinformed and I wouldn’t expect him back in the room, until morning.” Sheila walked away, smiling and knowing that tonight was the night that she was finally going to take Matthew to bed and put a smile on his face. She did have one other thing to do for Beverly, as a favor, but even that would be something that she could look back on fondly
“I know that Matthew has no designs on her and that her sniffing around is nothing, but a one sided attempt to get him into her trap. I can to keep him safe, but I can’t be everywhere. I know that he’s a man and that he has needs and that Sheila is ready to give it up without any kind of fight. Can he possibly fight that urge, or is he the man that I think he is? I guess there is only one way to find out.”
Chapter 3
Dinner was served and to say that there was sexual tension around the table would be a vast understatement. Sheila was sitting on one side of Matthew and Melinda was sitting on the other side. It made for some very interesting glances in his direction, although it didn’t appear that the rest of the family noticed what was going on.
Matthew shifted nervously, trying his best not to stare at the plunging neckline of the red summer dress that Sheila was now wearing. This was obviously her attempt to get his attention and he was doing everything he could to deny her that request. The virginal white dress that Melinda was wearing made him smile. The fact that she could even attempt to suggest that she was pure was laughable. The things that they had done that weekend were enough to make him want to have a repeat performance. The way that she moved like a cat served to feed his desire in a way that he couldn’t get from any other woman.
“Kenneth and I would like to make a toast to family. It is, so nice to have everybody underneath the same roof and to welcome new additions like my dear Kenneth and his daughter Melinda. I think we all know that my husband was the benchmark for this family, but now we are about to embark on a new chapter. My marriage might have been sudden, but his love was very evident from the moment that I met him on the beaches of St. Croix. I didn’t think that any man should be wearing thongs, but on him it worked.” There was a medley of snickers around the table and even Kenneth turned a bright shade of red at the mention of his privates on display.
“I really do appreciate how welcoming all of you have been to me and my daughter. We struggle to find that bond that has been broken. Maybe now with this new family we can heal those wounds that have been festering for way too long. I guess it goes without saying that my relationship with my wife was volatile. It’s not to say that I struck her, but we did get into a lot of arguments and most of it was about money. I was a freelance musician and she was always the one that was bringing home the bacon. Anyway, I believe that everybody has the right to start over and this is my time to finally get it right.” Kenneth was standing there and he could see that his daughter was not exactly happy with the way that he was speaking about her mother.
Everybody put out their glasses and there was the sound of clinking, which followed a meal that was fit for a king. Lobster and scallops were the order of the day, including shrimp and a medley of fresh fish that tasted like it just came out of the ocean and it did.
“Kenneth and I are going to go into town and enjoy the night life. If anybody wants to join us, there is more than enough room in the van. Otherwise, have a great time and enjoy this place, because you only get one life to live and sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns. That’s what I did with Kenneth and let that be a lesson to all of you that love can come up and bite you on the ass when you least expect it.”
Beverly had no idea that her speech was making both Melinda and Matthew think about the possibilities. The idea that they could actually stay away from each other was completely crazy. Their bodies were crying out for that one moment of bliss and Beverly had said that it was time to grab onto a bit of fun and never let go.
Melinda was done with her meal and she went over to the other side of the house to overlook the ocean. She was standing there for a couple of hours with a glass of wine with the wind rustling that white dress. She felt like she wasn’t alone anymore. A pair of hands wrapped around her waist and she immediately made this sigh of contentment, before lying back in her lover’s arms.
“I thought that I might find you here. You’ve always been fascinated by the water. That vacation was something to remember and I think we both know that something is happening between the two of us. We don’t have to hide it, or at least we don’t have to hide it from each other.”
“I want him to bend me over right here at the balcony. He can lift my dress and see that I’m not wearing the panties that I was before. He needs to take the initiative, because I’m not sure that I have the courage to break the ice.”
“I can’t tell you what you’re feeling inside, Matthew. I just think that there’s been something missing and now that we are together it’s like two puzzle pieces coming back where they belong. I heard what your mother said and I don’t want the love that we shared to slip away again. It took a lot of willpower to let you go the last time and I’m not sure that I have the strength to do it again.” She felt his hands lifting the dress and the cool wind from the ocean was enough to keep her staring out at the waves and wondering what he was going to do next.
“I can’t help it and I’ve had my meal, but I didn’t have dessert. There’s a certain pie that makes me salivate for the chance to taste it. Its creamy and delicious and I haven’t had the pleasure in many years.” He easily moved to his knees, looking behind to make sure that they weren’t going to be interrupted. The curtains to the balcony were obscuring anything that they were doing and he was going to take full advantage of that privacy. “You look better than you did that night. I’m sure that you noticed that I put on a little weight. I needed find some way to burn off that access energy, so I devoted my time to competing in decathlons end marathons. I guess I was trying to substitute exercise with the kind of sex that we had that weekend.”
She heard him gasp from the revelation that she wasn’t wearing panties. Her juicy hole was already showing that her excitement was beyond the norm. She could feel the drippings down the inside of her legs and then the feel of his agile and hot tongue following that line all the way back up to the treasure of her sex.
“I don’t know if I should scream or push back against him. This is what I’ve always wanted, but now that it’s here, I’m not sure that I’m worthy of his devotion. I don’t care and his tongue is stirring up old feelings that have never gone away. I’ve never met a man that knew my body better than he did and I think that I’ve been trying to find it or a semblance of what we had with other men. I guess I was fooling myself and there is no substitute for the one that got away.”
Melinda moaned and did not care if anybody heard her. She was actually hoping that Sheila was nearby and that she would witness this and know that her eager little fingers were not going to get anywhere near this beautiful specimen of a man. She tried in vain to keep her eyes open, but the pleasure was too intense. It grabbed her by the throat and throttled the climax out of her.
“I would never…believe it in a million years…but I’m once again cumming all over your lips.” She shuddered and she felt her legs begin to let go, onl
y to have him hold her up to the onslaught of his oral attention. There was no denying that he knew what he was doing and that feeling of being at one with her body was like a personal awakening. “Yes…god damn it…fuck me with that tongue.” She had purposely raised her voice in hopes that her declaration would be heard by everybody, including Sheila.
Matthew held onto her ass cheeks, spreading them to see the product of her arousal. Those wet pink lips made him into Melinda’s personal slave, as he delved to make her find the woman in herself many times to come. The first time was only a tease any and he had every reason to believe that she could reach that pinnacle of lust again and again. He knew that from personal experience. He knew exactly what to do to drive her out of her mind with this crazy form of desire that could not be contained.
“I don’t think that you should do…that again.” She lost her breath and she held onto the railing with your fingernails digging into the unyielding wood. It was a magical setting with a very greedy man that couldn’t get enough. His lips were constantly moving her from one orgasm to the other. It was like he could play her body like a musical instrument
Hitting those high notes made him even that much more determined to see what else he could make her body do. He was a ravenous man and if he didn’t know any better, he would’ve thought that this was the one woman’s that could take him out of his comfort zone. He was pretty much a one note wonder, but when it came to Melinda he found himself stretching his sexual wings.
Her entire body was a live wire ready to go off and the only thing that was preventing her from fainting was the sheer will to want to stay awake for the duration of what he was doing to her. She had lost track of time and that feeling of euphoria surrounded her and made her think that it was never going to end. He finally took away the long protrusion, replacing it with a soft kiss on her clit, which made her jerk with the sensitivity of what he had just done to her.
“I hope that keeps you satisfied, until I get you alone in our room. We are on the other side of the house and whatever noise you make is going to be muffled by the constant drone of air conditioning. You won’t have to hold back and I think we both know that this was just the way to reacquaint ourselves with how our bodies react when we get this close to each other. I hope you know that you’re the only one that has been able to turn my head like this. You have no idea how much I missed this and how much I am looking forward to spreading your legs and fucking you, until you can’t breathe. I want you to feel my cock deep inside that pussy again. I want you to ache for me and you will look at me with that fire in your eyes. You know the expression that I’m talking about and it’s the one that you probably had, while I was eating that sweet piece of pie from behind.” His member was rubbing obscenely against her wetness and leaving behind the telltale dampness on his own trousers.
“Matthew, I think that you should leave, before I turn around and attack you with no regard for what your mother or my father might think, if they found us in a compromising position.” Melinda didn’t have to turn to know that she had gotten her point across. His footsteps leaving and the sound of the door closing was a sure sign that he was going to give her the space that she needed to compose herself. “I don’t know what kind of effect that he has on other women, but with me it’s like he knows how to touch me in just the right way. The whole weekend was a blur, but I remember everything in vivid detail. I want this and that slut Shelia is not going to get in my way. If she tries, then she’s going to find out that I’m not a woman to be denied.”
Melinda could see the boats in the distance and the twinkling lights of other houses. She took a walk down to the beach, following the illumination of the sun lamps that led the way. What she saw next was something that made her hide and look through the bushes to see Sheila being seduced by another. It took her a moment to recognize her lover, but the woman in question was none other than Beverly. The way that they were kissing and squeezing each other close was a sure sign that this was not an isolated incident. Melinda wondered what her father would think, until he emerged from the surf completely naked and swinging with a renewed vigor. She had to turn away and put her hand up her mouth with the implication that her father was a bit of a player.
“I guess I never really knew my father at all. Good for him and maybe this is what he was missing from his relationship with my mother. If he can get that with Beverly and the freedom to explore with other lovers, then why shouldn’t he take a spoon and dig into the variety of flavors. It’s possible that I get my adventurous streak from his side of the gene pool.” She took one more look and then turned around, before she would go blind.
Chapter 4
Melinda couldn’t get over the fact that her father was a bit of a swinger. It appeared that his need for other lovers was complemented with a woman that was able to see past that addiction. For some reason, she thought that it was a good thing that he had found somebody that could accept him for who he was. She believed that everybody should have that special one that could see them for who they were. It dawned on her that it was Matthew that had seen through her façade of a woman that was worldly. He had taken her on a magical carpet ride that had her looking back at that time that they had together, as the one that she could never duplicate.
“I never took you for one that would sample the other side of the fence, but you never know what’s going on in somebody’s head. That relationship between her and Sheila had to be going for some time. They were just too comfortable with each other and there was no nervousness to say that this was an encounter that was out of the blue. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say with some degree of certainty that Beverly had made a request of Sheila and she was more than happy to comply.”
Melinda didn’t want to think about what they were going to do on the beach together. Their love life was their business and she wanted the same respect in return. She walked back to the house and up to the deck where the planter had been sitting. She took a closer look and found that there were scratch marks. Some of the dirt had upended and there was a telltale footprint. It had to be at least a size eight, which led Melinda to believe that there was somebody that was out to get Matthew. She was going to have to stay close and make sure that he wasn’t alone. Come to think of it, she realized that he had been alone for the last hour and that was more than enough time for somebody to strike again.
She went back in the house and was crossing by the kitchen, when she smelled something very sweet wafting in the air. It was obviously propane and she had been in a fire that was made from that particular substance. She went inside and found Matthew sitting splayed on a chair over the table. Thinking quickly, she went over to the stove and turned the dials to turn off the propane. It could’ve been an accident from the cook on duty, but to have all four burners going at the same time meant that there was premeditation behind this.
“Matthew, wake the fuck up for god’s sake. Show me that you’re alive.” Melinda tried to pick him up from the seat, but it was like trying to carry dead weight. With his extra muscles, it was going to take a Herculean effort on her part to even make him move a fraction of an inch. She got a pretty good idea, something that occurred to her and then she put it into motion.
She dragged the chair a few inches at a time, before getting winded and having to stop and start over again. She got him out of the room. His eyes began to flutter with a recognition that came from seeing his guardian angel. “I would say that I died and went to heaven, but I don’t think that even god would give me a vision of loveliness like you.” He was a sweet talker and he had always been that way and it was one of the reasons why she had fallen for him. “I went into have a glass of milk like I always do. I sat down and began to think about my life and how much more it is with you in it. I got a little sleepy and I put my head down for a second.” He didn’t have much for a nose for food and his lack of smell had afforded the person that was trying to kill him to get away with it.
“I was coming up to join you, when
I smelled something in the kitchen that seemed a little off. I went in and found you lying there with the waves of propane drifting in the air. I opened up a window and I threw open the balcony doors and that should clear things up in a hurry. We’re going to have to find out who’s trying to do this to you, or they will continue, until they get it right.” Melinda found that he was groggy, but at least he was talking and had control of his faculties. “Let me help you up to the room.” She felt his weight against her and she forced herself to push past the fact that he was weighing her down like an albatross around her neck.
“It was a good thing that I came around when I did, or he wouldn’t be amongst the living anymore. I’m just not sure who we should trust and these people seem to have an agenda of that I just don’t know about. I’m going to have to dig into their personal lives. It’s like what I do with boyfriends that I meet and then I vet them by checking out various sources. I’m just gonna have to do the same thing for his relatives. I’ll know what I’m looking for when I find it.” Melinda assisted him up the stairs one step at a time, until they were on the other side of the house.
“That’s the second time that you saved my life. You do know what some traditions dictate?” Melinda looked at him with puzzlement “It means that I’m your responsibility and that my life is in the palm of your hand.” His words were slurred, but he managed to make this weak little smile. All the energy in his body was drained and he could barely stand, let alone keep his eyes open for any length of time. “I guess I really do have a guardian angel. If you weren’t around, I would be sleeping with the fishes.”
