THE SISTER IN LAW BACK UP PLAN

[neerathemall]

later.

By the time the cab dropped us off at hers, we were both beyond tipsy and we giggled as she unlocked the door and practically fell in. I had sat in the front of the cab but had spent time glancing at Stacey in the back who had caught me looking several times.

I followed her through to the kitchen and stood behind her as she put the kettle on. Again my eyes dropped to her ass and I had the urge to hug her from behind, bury my face in her pretty neck and cup those big boobs. How would she respond? There was plenty of smooth naked back and shoulders for me too ogle too. One of her straps had fallen half way down her shoulder too. Fuck.

She was laughing at herself at how difficult it was to make a coffee in her slightly inebriated state. God I wanted to take her in my arms and kiss her senseless. But of course I didn't.

As we sometimes did when I stayed over, we'd decided after showering (separately of course) to watch a movie and crash in the sitting room. The two sofas made an L shape against the walls, so there was me on one, Stacey on the other, our heads close enough that if I wanted to I could have reached out to touch her hair. And I did want to.

So there we were watching a romcom we both liked, Stacey in a long and soft pink Disney t-shirt that went to her thigh and me in pyjama shorts and top. Stacey looked so soft and feminine, her honey coloured damp hair prettily tousled, her breasts large and soft in her nightdress thing. I tried not to notice how high up her T shirt had ridden up her leg and how much thigh was on display. I also tried not to think about her black bra straps, one of which I could see. I imagined the bra was one of those substantial underwired types. Then I wondered if she was wearing panties. Again. Jesus.

At some point we had both stretched our arms out in such a way that our hands were very close to touching.

'Stacey, I-'

She turned to me, smiling. 'What? Spit it out.'

'I just wanted to say thanks for having dinner with me tonight.'

'It wasn't a hardship. It was nice to have a boyfriend for a night.'

Before I knew what was happening, she had linked her fingers with mine. My heart was thumping and we looked at each other for several long moments. Tingles went up my arm from where our hands were joined and my mouth went dry.

'Can I ask you a question?' she said, heat in her gaze.

I nodded.

'Have you ever thought about me as more than your sister in law?'

I took a long breath before I answered.

'Stacey, I don't want to lie to you but I'm afraid of what you'll think of me.'

'I have the same worry. For example, if I said that I've thought about you as more than my brother in law what would you say?'

I swallowed.

'If you did say that, then I'd say that I had thought about you that way too. A lot.'

'But we'd never act on it right? We both love Lorna and would never do anything to hurt her.'

I was both relieved and disappointed. What the hell was wrong with me?

'No, of course not.'

She squeezed my hand then.

'But what if Lorna said she was ok with it? You and me, I mean.'

My cock answered that question irrationally by hardening.

'Well then I'd think she was crazy and trying to trick me somehow.'

'Right.'

This conversation was insane. But god Stacey was so pretty. And those tits. I could see her nipples now through her bra and top. Was she as aroused as I was?

She caught me looking and smiled.

'I should go to bed, Stacey.'

She sighed. 'You should. But what if I told you that Lorna had planned this whole thing tonight, that she knows you want me more than just as a sister in law and that we have her blessing?'

'What?'

'I'm serious. Lorna has watched you trying not to look at me that way for years. Being so careful about it. Sisters talk you know. Here's the thing. She thinks we can be happy together. Being together. You and me. And her. The three of us.'

The image in my mind of the three of us together is something I had fantasised about. What if this could possibly be true? No.
