MY SISTER JEAN.  Chapter 11-12

By Billy G

Chapter 11 -- Dry Humpin' (Continued)

Like so many of the good  things  in  our  lives,  we  take  them  for
granted.  That was certainly true for me in my family.   I  took  them
and their love for granted, for that is the  way  it  always  was.   I
didn't think much about it, if at all.  It wasn't something I  had  to
work for so I didn't give it any conscious thought.

That taking-for-granted was particularly true with my sister.  Like my
parents, there was never a time in my life when she wasn't there, so I
was hardly grateful for them or her...at least not then.   Because  we
had an active sibling rivalry and because I was the younger,  I  often
lost.  So, if you were to have asked me what I thought about  Jean,  I
suppose I might have answered that I didn't think about  her  at  all,
except to wish she might immigrate to Saturn or some  equally  distant
and hostile place.

Yet the vagaries of my developing  youth  suddenly  moved  me  from  a
totally self-centered, largely insensitive and unaware  young  man  to
some marginally more mature stance of appreciation  for  the  goodness
and beauty in my life.

I had gone from  being  mostly  unaware  of  Jean  to  that  tingling,
hypersensitive consciousness where I thought of  little  else.   There
was not a day that passed that I'd not thought of her, of her kindness
and her gentleness, and yes, if the truth  is  known,  of  her  erotic
sexiness.

I frequently dreamed of her, usually erotic, and  it  often  waked  me
with an intense, near-painful hard-on.  Add to that my walking-around,
day-dream state and you can see how I was preoccupied with her.  Dazed
might be a better description.

It was almost too much.  I didn't know the first thing about  handling
the intensity of these feelings, so I did that which I'd  always  done
so well when I was in doubt.  Emotionally bobbing and weaving, I tried
not to show my feelings -- those feelings that were bubbling and about
to overflow.  Not that there  were  "downer"  feelings...not  at  all.
They were just powerful and new.  I was confused.

In the days and then  weeks  that  followed  our  last  unplanned  and
largely uncontrolled sexual encounter, my  sister  and  I  had  *both*
pulled back a little.  There was no emotional "badness" connected with
this; we did it comfortably, without conscious decision as we had done
in some reflexive  manner  several  times  in  the  past.   There  was
something  almost  moth-and-flame-like  in  our  behaviors.    Perhaps
governed more by our hind brains, we were pulled  toward  each  other,
longing, and in some ill-defined way, hungry for each other.  Of late,
we often fell, unplanned and  unanticipated,  out-of-control,  into  a
heightened sexual awareness and more, into a sexual connection.

This frightened us.  And it excited us.   Neither  found  the  paradox
puzzling.  We were terribly  attracted  to  each  other,  emotionally,
lovingly and now, with a sexual ferocity that  simply  frightened  us.
So, in a silent acknowledgment of that fear, we'd stepped back just  a
little.  Oh, not so you'd notice it around the house, for we continued
our open-for-business-as-usual banter and interaction.  Yet, we  knew.
Sometimes a word, a gesture would ring in our minds  and  looking  up,
we'd see the other staring and we  would  recognize  that  vulnerable,
uncertain look.

We knew at base what it was about.  I did anyway.  I loved my  sister.
The uncertainty wasn't about that.  It centered about our lust.   We'd
danced around  it,  slowly  at  first,  with  a  gradual  opening  and
increasing intimacy.  Some time ago I'd confessed to her that I wanted
to make love with her.  (Actually, I think I  told  her  I  wanted  to
"fuck" her.) At once out, I wanted to bite my tongue.  I'd have  given
anything at that moment to take back those words.  Not that  I  didn't
mean them.  I did.  But I knew I'd  crossed  the  Rubicon  with  those
words and the felt a sinking feeling with the  irreversibility  of  it
all.

Jean handled it well, at least on  the  surface  of  it;  she  was  an
uncomplicated, up-front girl  without  guile.   She  had  simply  said
something like, "Me too, but we're not gonna do that,  Billy.   That's
incest."  End of discussion.  Or was it?

Clearly it wasn't, for that was the nidus of  our  emotional  turmoil.
That we both wanted to "do it" wasn't the  question.   We'd  confessed
that.  No, the tension arose from the not knowing.  The not knowing in
view of the wanting and that nagging voice coming  up  from  the  hind
brain that repeatedly urged, "Go ahead.  Have a bite.   It's  just  an
apple."

I smiled to myself and thought, "Lead me not into temptation.  I  know
the way myself."

Despite  that  sometimes-delicious  pull  into  the  last  taboo,   we
continued to be comfortable about each  other.   As  long  periods  of
silence are comfortable among close friends,  we  had  no  feeling  of
malaise around our unresolved passions.  We were, both of us I  think,
content in following the thread of our lives and our  connection,  not
knowing where it would take us.

There was a time, both before and again  later,  when  I  practiced  a
studied imperturbability, a coolness on the  surface  that  frequently
gave the lie to the cauldron beneath.  I certainly didn't suffer  from
alexithymia...that failure to recognize feelings when I had them.   To
the contrary, I was in heightened contact with my feelings.  As a safe
cracker might have sanded his fingertips, my emotional  awareness  was
crackling with sensitivity.  What I didn't know was how to really talk
about them...my feelings.  Jean always helped me out when I was  stuck
like that.

"What are you feeling right now, Billy?"  she asked as were walking in
the hills behind our home.

I'd been aware that her breasts were swaying inside her sweatshirt and
wondered if she had departed from her  usual  conservative  attire  to
pique interest or if she'd simply grown accustomed to me.

Picking up a rock, I heaved it as far  as  I  could  into  the  wooded
canyon and muttered, "Oh, nothin'."

"I've seen you do that a thousand times," she observed, looking in the
direction of the thrown rock.

"Uh...throw a rock?"  I asked.

"Yeah.  Or it's equivalent.  When you're uncomfortable, you move.  You
just can't stay still.  You leave.  Heck, I've seen  you  get  up  and
leave the room without ever getting out of your chair!"

There was no debate here and I knew it.  We'd covered this one  before
and she was concomitantly observant and accurate.

"So.  Tell me.  What's goin' on?  You've been silent for more  than  a
week."

"Jean, I'm sorry," I said.  And then  glancing  at  her  to  make  eye
contact, I added, "I'm not trying to be an asshole (as if it took much
effort on my part) and I'm not trying to punish you or  anything  like
that.  I'm just not sure what it is that I'm feeling."

Jumping from stone to stone, we crossed the winter-rain swollen  creek
and started up the other side before  she  spoke  again.   "I  thought
that, but also know that if we don't talk about what's going on, it'll
go underground and ferment."

"Okay, okay," I sighed with resignation.  I *knew* this was  going  to
happen.  Then, taking the plunge, I stated  the  obvious,  "Lady,  you
*know* how moved I was when we...when you..."

Laughing, Jean finished my stuttering sentence, "...when I sucked your
cock?"

"You *do* have a way with words, you  silver-tongued  devil  you."   I
glanced down at the tight spot where her jeans  were  drawn  into  her
crotch and then up to her eyes.  She'd seen me looking.

"Yeah, and *you're* the one whose always telling me to call a spade  a
spade," Jean countered.

I sat on a fallen tree and looked back  into  the  ravine.   Jean  sat
beside me her elbows on her  knees,  cupping  her  chin.   For  a  few
moments the noisy jays made the only sound to be heard.

Not looking at her, I continued, "Well, whatever we call this rose  --
or this spade -- that fact is that I keep thinking about you...  about
us."

"Cut to the chase, boy.  You mean us *doin' it,* don't you?"

Drawing back and placing my hand flat on my chest, I replied, shocked,
"Moi?"

"Yes, you!  You horny jerk, you."

Then, in a moment of complete honesty, I admitted it.  "Yes.  All  the
time.  It's all that I think  about."   Then,  rushing  on,  "I'm  not
*asking* you to do it, you see...it's just that it *is* on my mind all
the time.  You know?"

Nodding her head, Jean murmured, "I know."  And then placing one  hand
on my arm, she pulled my face around to look into my  eyes  and  said,
"Let's not have this be the elephant in the living room.  We both feel
it.  We mustn't pretend it's not there.  We've got to talk about it."

"All right, woman.  I'll tell you what I've  been  thinking.   How  we
feel about each other and about our  selves  is  no  secret.   Cripes,
we're both horny and all we can think  about  is  screwing...at  least
that's the way I feel.  We've talked about it enough that we know, for
the moment anyway, that we're not prepared to actually *do*  it.   And
it would seem that we're not ready to enter the monastery or take vows
of chastity either.  So..."  I paused.

"Yeah-yeah...so?"

I've got her attention, I thought to myself.  When in doubt, tell  the
truth.  "So...I propose that we continue as we have.  No rules .  .  .
well, except one.  For now, we won't do it.  As much as  I'd  love  to
really do it with you, Jean, we won't.  Whatever else we do, we do."

"Whew!  I don't know whether to be relieved or  disappointed...I  feel
both."

"Me too."

"But what to you mean, whatever else'?"

"I guess I mean that I'll continue to act as I have.  I can't help but
enjoy looking at you...or trying to get peeks  of  your  butt...   you
know, things like that."

"Touching?"

"Yes, touching...if you'll let me that is.  I'll not stop wanting  to,
but I won't try to force you to do anything you don't want to do.   If
we can't agree that it's okay, that neither of us is going to be hurt,
then we won't do it.  How's that sound?"

"God, Billy...if we only could!  If we could be open enough with  each
other.  I we could just say how we feel and  be  able  to  talk  about
things, it'd be so-o cool."

"Tell you what, Sis.  If we don't try, it sure won't happen.  Maybe we
won't do it very good...maybe we'll mess up from time to time .  .   .
even a lot, but if we don't *try,* we'll  have  given  up,  don't  you
see?"

"Billy, you sound just like Dad!  'You've got to  try  your  best  and
when you fall on your butt, pick yourself  up  and  try  again.'   You
sound just like him."

"I hadn't thought of that, but yeah...I've heard that mantra  before."
Then, touching her cheek, I asked, "Well?"

In a low voice, Jean said, "Billy, I've  got  that  deep-down  feeling
that this is a first step of a journey that may take us a  long,  long
way.  Part of me is so excited and another part of me is scared silly.
But yes...I'll do it.  I'll do my best, that is.  I have no idea  what
I can do and what I can't, but I guess that's why we're starting this,
huh?"

"I don't know about that, Sis.  Mostly I'm thinking about  getting  in
your pants."

She slugged me on the arm.  "You ARE an asshole, you know that?"

Laughing, I pulled her to the ground and we rolled  and  tumbled  over
the soft cushion of pine needles, ending up in that classic  I-got-you
position...me straddling her chest and holding  her  forearms  to  the
ground beside her head.

"Why didn't you wear a bra?"  I asked in a teasing tone.

"What'ya think?  To get your attention, jerky boy?"

"Remember Mardi Gras?  Remember the beads and how the girls would pull
their shirts up, showing their tits?  And you wouldn't?"

"Yeah.  Yeah, I remember that.  So?"

"So, now you're gonna!"

"What!?"  Bucking unsuccessfully, Jean quieted after a moment, out  of
breath.  "If you think I'm going to pull up my shirt..."  and then she
shrieked.

I was holding both wrists above her head and was  slowly  pulling  the
bottom of her shirt up, tickling her ribs in the process.

Suddenly she stopped struggling and looked at  me,  unsmiling.   In  a
small voice, she said, "Billy, let me."

I cocked one eyebrow and looked at her.  She just nodded.  I  let  her
go.  She reached down and pulled the bottom of  her  sweat  shirt  up,
slowly.  The white under swell of her breasts  were  followed  by  the
prominent nipples, pulled upward by her elevated arms.  With the shirt
pulled up to her chin, she asked, "Is this what you wanted to see?"

Nodding, I tentatively extended the index  finger  of  one  hand  and,
holding it right above her nipple, I looked at her and asked, "Okay?"

"Yes.  I *want* you to touch them.  I want you to look at me.  I  ache
for you to touch me, Billy."

With a feather touch, I traced a line from her axilla  up  across  the
swell of her breast  and  then  around  and  around  the  areola,  not
actually touch her nipple.

Jean arched her back, pushing her breast toward me  and  with  a  half
groan, whispered, "Ugh...that's so good...please...more .  .  .  touch
it, Billy...please touch it."

With the tips of my fingers, tenting the breast, I slowly pulled up on
her surprisingly firm tit, lightly finger-milking her but  just  short
of touching her engorged areola and turgid nipple.  Again  and  again,
lightly, tracing a feather-touch, up and  down.   Her  hips  began  to
stir, to roll slightly under me.  I became acutely aware of  that  old
familiar stirring with myself.

"Harder!  Billy, harder!"  she groaned.  "Touch me, dammit."

"Jean, I love your tits!  You've got the sexiest tits I've ever seen."
(I was relieved that she didn't remind me that I'd not seen  many  and
hadn't touched any...other than hers.) I leaned down and with the  tip
of my tongue, I touched her nipple.  She jerked  upward,  mashing  her
breast on my lips.  Opening my lips, I began to suck on her nipple.

"Don't tease me, dammit.  Bite me.  Bite me a little."

Afraid to hurt her, I placed her nipple against my upper  front  teeth
and with the tip of my tongue, pushed her erect nip against the  sharp
edges of my teeth, alternately soft and then  firmer,  never  actually
biting her.

"Oh, God, Billy.  MORE.  Harder.  I can feel it down in my pussy .   .
.  all the way down there...there's a connection from my breast to  my
womb.  Jesus, it's good!  Oh God, oh God, it's so good."

I slipped down and pushed my pelvis against hers, never losing contact
with her breast, continuing to nibble as we slowly humped against each
other.  Her legs fell open and I knee-walked between them, grinding my
trouser-imprisoned hard-on against her  pubic  symphysis  through  her
jeans.

With both hands, I cupped her breast, continuing to suck  and  nibble.
She bent her knees and thrust up at me repeatedly, grunting and  in  a
barely audible voice, chanting, "Oh shit...oh shit...oh shit."

The compelling vortex of our desire pulled us again, out  of  control,
into a headlong flight through the endless limits of some inner space,
spinning and falling  into  that  almost  painful  moment  of  intense
pleasure where our boundaries were blurred,  then  lost.   I  couldn't
tell where I ended and Jean began.  We were one for a moment, in  some
blinding light of fulfillment.  Then, sometime later, we tumbled  out,
dazed, lightheaded and confused onto to the  pine-needle  bed  of  our
"almost doing it."

Slowly I became aware of our ragged breathing, out of sync and of  the
sweat trickling through my hair.  I'd rolled off Jean and  was  laying
beside her, one leg still  trapping  hers.   For  several  minutes  we
didn't move, didn't talk, just glided  down  the  back  side  of  that
mind-bending emotional peak.

Finally Jean spoke.  "JE-SUS KEY-RIST!"  Even  the  mildest  profanity
carried an additional impact when it came from Jean,  for  she  rarely
employed crude words much less profanity.

With my usual post-orgasmic cleverness and wit  I  answered  stupidly,
"Wha-a-t-t?"

"Boy!  Am I glad I was dressed."

"I'm not glad, but why are you?"

Turning her head, she looked at me and with a  warm  smile  she  said,
"Once again we've charged into some out-of-control place, you and  me.
I thought we *might* fool around just a little, but I  never  imagined
this.  I can't understand how these things happen to me, you know?  "

Again, with catchy wit I asked, "What things?"

"Don't play dumb with my, guy.  You fool lots of people, but *I*  know
who you are.  I'm talking about my complete lack of  control  when  we
get together.  I never planned on what  we  did...that...what  do  you
call it anyway?"

"Dry humping?"

"Yes, that.  It just happened so fast.  The next thing I knew my  body
had taken over and I wanted you inside me.  I couldn't stop  my  hips.
I didn't even *want* to stop.  That's what I  mean...out  of  control.
Who knows what would have happened if we woulda been naked?"

"It's too wonderful...too sweet to even imagine, Jean."

"Yeah.  Well, that's why I'm NEVER gonna get naked with you alone.  If
you ever see me without any clothes on, don't  *even*  come  near  me.
Hear?"

I just smiled at her and looked down at her breasts, still exposed.

She poked me in the ribs and repeated, "You hear me, Billy?"

Laughing, "Sure, sure...yeah, um...I hear you.  The next  time  I  see
your bare butt I'll just  grab  my  woody  and  run  in  the  opposite
direction."

Quietly, seriously Jean added, "Billy, I don't want you  to  run  from
me.  You know that.  Run TO me, but please don't take advantage of me.
I just know I won't be strong enough when I should be."

Damn.  I hated that.  When she transferred  responsibility  to  me  in
asking that I help her, I was screwed.  I couldn't fall back on  being
a brainless kid and not to blame for  my  actions.   Shit!   Who  said
growing up was all that much fun?

Touching her cheek I whispered, "Jean, you know I'll be there for you.
I'll always honor you.  My horniness is small change when I compare it
to my love for you.  You can take that one to the bank, girl."

Brushing the tell-tale pine needles from our clothes, we started back,
holding hands a little of the way.  I can't remember when I ever  felt
better.

Chapter 12 -- Surprise Under the Pillow

After our last near-hit-near-miss  encounter,  my  sister  and  I  had
almost no time to consider our lives much less our sexual  attraction.
The demands of school and our otherwise busy social lives grabbed  all
our energy and attention.  The glances and poignant smiles  served  to
remind us frequently of the pull we'd  come  to  acknowledge  but  our
natural cautiousness coupled  with  our  jam-packed  lives  served  to
buffer our lusty appetites.  Yet we had opened a door of intimacy that
was never to close for all the days of our lives.  In  a  dozen  small
ways, we were more affectionately connected, open and trusting than we
even knew.

Our mother, sensitive to the moods in our family, had  not  failed  to
notice that our one-time sibling abrasiveness and competitiveness  had
given way to a softer connection.  I  suspect  she  was  relieved.   I
wondered if she might see anything beyond the  surface.   She  did  so
often.

Pouring orange juice one morning at breakfast, Mom commented, "I  want
to tell you kids that it's so much more peaceful around here since you
two became friends.  My brother Jim and I did the same thing  when  we
were about your age."

The same thing.  What'd she mean?

Mom chatted on about her teenage life.  Jean  and  I  looked  at  each
other, then she glanced at Mom and, looking again  at  me,  raised  an
eyebrow as if to ask, "Do you suppose Mom and...?"

For a moment I was shocked.  Mom?  Then remembering the  lusty  sounds
we sometimes heard coming  from  my  parent's  bedroom,  I  smiled  to
myself.  Jean and I had then decided that  our  parents  probably  had
done "it" more than twice.  Shrugging my mental shoulders, I  thought,
"Why not?"

Returning to the present, I became more aware of  my  mother,  of  her
dress.  She was wearing a light robe and  several  times  as  she  was
gesturing I'd seen her breasts move under  it.   I  thought,  "Christ,
Billy, you are a real perv.  Your own mother!"

In a silent mime, Jean's eyes opened in astonishment and she  put  her
finger tips across the surprised "Oh" of her open mouth...just as  Mom
looked up.

"What?"  Mom asked.

Quick to recover, Jean replied, "Oh, I just remembered that  I  forgot
my French book at school."

Jumping in, attempting to divert Mom's attention, I  asked,  "Did  you
and your brother fight a lot, Mom?"   I  wasn't  interested  in  their
fighting as much as the possibility of their connection.  Not  that  I
expected she'd tell us much, but perhaps  we  could  beat  around  the
bushes a little.

Laughing, she remembered, "Sure.  Just like most brothers and  sisters
I guess -- but you know, we really loved each other."

Jean and I looked at each other again.  You know, that  silent  "look"
that says, "Hmmmm."  Then I looked at Mom's breasts.  Jean glanced  at
Mom and then slowly shook her head in silent remonstration.

Continuing, Mom added, "You know  your  Uncle  Jim.   He's  a  strong,
take-charge kinda guy now, but he was a little younger than me when we
were kids.  Still is for that matter.  Why, there was a  time  when  I
could beat him up."  Then, looking  off  into  some  unfocused  middle
distance, she shook her head and added  ruefully,  "That  didn't  last
long.  He grew up fast!"

Jean snorted her juice through her nose, remembering, I supposed,  the
play on words we'd often used, about my "growing UP."  Picking up  her
napkin,  she  dabbed  her  face  and  fake  sneezed   to   cover   her
embarrassment.  "And then what happened?"  she asked.

"Oh, you know.  I used to bully him and then he  grew  up,  more  than
just physically.  He matured and became a man, like  over  night,  and
then he started to tease me, even though he was younger."

"Did it bother you?  That change I mean?"  I asked, thinking of how my
relationship with Jean had changed in a similar way and wondering just
what *had* gone on in Mom's younger life.  The truth was,  I'd  ceased
to think of her as a  chaste,  puritanical  person  sometime  ago.   I
*knew* she was sexual with our Dad but I suppose I thought he had been
the first and the last, her only.  That limited view  of  my  mother's
humanness was slowly giving way to a more realistic acceptance of  her
as she probably was.  The thing was, I didn't know how she  *was*.   I
was more than casually interested...more than I  wanted  to  admit  to
myself.

Mom continued, "Well, at the time I didn't  want  your  Uncle  Jim  to
know, but secretly, I was pleased.  I mean, he was so  strong  and  so
smart.  He could just *fix* things and he began to take care of me.  I
liked that."  She paused, buttering her toast.  "Once there  was  this
guy -- a real jerk, obnoxious and mean, who  was  always  teasing  the
girls --  saying  dirty  things  about  them.   Well,  this  guy  said
something about me once -- in front of a  bunch  of  guys  --something
dirty I think.  Jim heard about it and walked right up to the  guy  --
who was bigger than him by the way --  and  said,  Don't  *ever*  talk
about my sister,' and without another word, smashed him right  in  the
nose."

Jean gasped, "Really, Mom?  Uncle Jim?"

"Yep.  I was there.  Saw it all.  The guy fell back.  He  grabbed  his
nose.  It was bleeding all over the place.  He was crying  and  saying
he was going to kill my brother.  Jim  walked  up  to  him  again  and
again, without another word, punched him right in the  stomach.   Down
he went.  Stayed there too, cryin', slobberin' and  cursin'.   But  he
didn't get up.  Your uncle said, Yeah, yeah.  You'll  *shit*  too,  if
you're well fed.  Get up if you want some more, asshole.'"

Then hearing the words of her own account, Mom reddened  and  glancing
at us, added, "Oops.  Pardon my French."

"Far out," I said, even more impressed with my uncle.

"Oh, my...I never  heard  that  story,"  said  Jean.   "That's  really
something."  And then turning to me with a smile,  she  asked,  "Would
you fight for me, little brother?"

"I guess.  I mean, I *might*," and then turning to Mom added, "If  she
wasn't so darn strong and mean already!"

Jean threw her napkin at me and yelled, "You shit!  I  am  not!   MOM,
make him stop!"

Covering my head with one arm, I held up the peace sign with the other
hand and quickly said, "Sor-ry.   Didn't  mean  it.   Honest.   Peace.
Peace?"  Then, turning to my mother,  I  added  in  a  stage  whisper,
"She's cute when she's mad, isn't she?"

Mom leaned back in her chair and folded her hands  in  her  lap.   Her
eyes and voice softened.  "You two remind me *so* much of me and  Jim,
I can't get over it."  Her nipple were poking  through  her  robe.   I
tried not to stare.  I failed.

The voice in my head asked, "Did you and Uncle Jim fool around,  Mom?"
But the voice that came *out* of my head asked, "You guys ever  double
date, Mom?"

She smiled that special smile of  remembrance.   "Sure.   Lots.   We'd
share all our stuff with each other.  He always had an opinion of  the
guys who'd ask me out.  Some were okay and some were  not.   And  he'd
always ask me about the girls *he* dated.  Things like..."   and  then
she suddenly stopped talking, seemingly embarrassed.

Stepping into the embarrassed silence, I said, "That  hasn't  changed.
If it wasn't for *my* wise counsel, Jean'd date some real  weirdos,  I
can tell you that."

Jean surprised me, for she didn't argue.  "Yeah,  Billy  knows  a  lot
about the guys that I don't...that girls don't in  general."   Turning
to me, she added, "I appreciate your caring, Bro."

Jean was picking up on the direction this was taking.  We worked  well
together that way.  But we knew Mom was no patsy and we didn't want to
be too obvious.  We just knew she'd shut up like a clam if she  picked
up on what was in our heads -- my head anyway.

"Mom, could you talk to Uncle  Jim  about...uh...about  your  feelings
and..."  she finished lamely, "and...things?"

Mom, sensing Jean's discomfort, forgot her own and laid a hand on  her
arm.  "Sure, baby.  We could talk about everything.  That's why it was
so special."

Uncertainly, Jean asked, "Really?  Everything?"

Glancing at me a moment, Mom answered Jean, "Yep, everything."

"Even sex?"  I asked, trying not to sound too eager yet knowing I  was
edging into new ground.

Mom hesitated.  I could tell that she  felt  she'd  been  accidentally
pulled into this self revelation but  couldn't  cop  out  now.   "Yes.
Even that."  Then, putting her napkin on the table with a  gesture  of
firmness, she leaned forward a bit and added, "Sometimes, *especially*
that.  I mean, if you can't talk to your own brother..."  and then she
made a dismissive gesture with her hand and looked upward, as  if  for
confirmation from above.

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Yeah," Jean echoed, "Your own brother..."  and then she  tailed  off,
not quite sure just what she was agreeing with.  She looked at me  and
wrinkled her nose as she cocked  her  head...her  sign  language  that
asks, What are we talking about, anyway?'

"Sex, Jean.  We're talking about sex.  Remember?"

Mom, suddenly seeing our discordant thinking, threw her head back  and
laughed.  "You two..."  she began and then wiped a laugh tear from her
eye, "you two are like Abbot and Costello."

"Who" I asked.

"Who's on first," Jean prompted.

"What's on second, " Mom continued  and  they  both  laughed  at  each
other.  At my expense, I was certain.

"Come on, ladies.  What is this,  geriatric  week?   We  were  talking
about sex, remember?  How'd we start talkin'  about  baseball  of  all
things?"

Placing her hand on my arm, Mom said, "I'm  sorry,  Billy.   You  guys
started it.  You just got me giggling.  I'm a little embarrassed,  you
know.  I'm not used to talking, well...so frankly with you two."   And
then, as if  to  cope  with  her  uncomfortable  position,  she  added
quickly, "Anyway...anyway, I must go down to the  'flatlands'."   This
was our name for any part of the surrounding area not in the foothills
where we lived.

This  conversation  was  over  I  knew,  at  least  for  now.   I  was
disappointed and relieved at the same time.  On the one hand,  it  was
kind of thrilling to hear something of our Mom's early  life,  but  on
the  other,  it  was  so  foreign  as  to  be  strange  and  a  little
uncomfortable.   We  were  just  becoming  comfortable  with  our  own
sexuality.  Considering Mom's was almost too great a stretch.

Dabbing her lips again, Jean  started  to  get  up  and  then  paused,
looking at Mom.  "Remember I said I was going to stay  with  Aunt  Peg
sometime?"  Without waiting for a reply, she  went  on,  "Well,  she's
invited me over for tonight.  It's okay for me to go over, isn't it?"

Moving toward the kitchen  door  and  hardly  pausing,  Mom  answered,
almost absently, "Sure, baby.  Say hello for me, won't you?"  And then
she was gone.

"Oh crap!"  I grumped with no little disappointment.  "I  was  looking
forward to us watching a movie or something.  We haven't  spent  *any*
time together.  We never even talk any  more."   My  tone  was  almost
petulant.

Jean was unmoved.  Laughing, she said, "Oh Billy, don't worry.   We'll
talk again...promise.  In fact, I'll call you tonight from Aunt  Peg's
house.  About eleven?"

A phone call wasn't what I had in mind, but it was clear that was  all
I was going to get, so I tried on a  little  gracious  acceptance.   I
tried, but it didn't fit well.

Jean left a short while later and I moped around, trying to stay busy.
The late morning and  afternoon  were  taken  up  with  self-appointed
chores that helped me stay out of a dangerous place, my  mind.   Years
later someone was to tell me, "Bill, *your* mind should  be  used  for
amusement purposes only."

Still, I spent the early evening feeling sorry for  myself,  convinced
that I was unloved and largely unlovable.  I've always been struck  by
my capacity to move from joy one moment to self-pity the  next.   When
I'm in a good place, those extremes amuse me, but  when  I'm  in  some
self-centered dark hole perched firmly  on  the  pity  pot,  it  seems
decidedly not funny.  Moreover, I am quick to assume that not only  is
it a bad situation, but that I'll be stuck  there  forever.   No  half
measures in my thinking!

Holing up in my room, I put on an Enya CD and sank into the  luxuriant
and mystical sounds that reminded me so much of Jean.  Enya's  lyrics,
woven into the tapestry of her sound, washed over me:

"If only I could stay with you, my train moves on,  you're  gone  from
view,..."

Whatever loving and aesthetic side I might have  had,  the  side  that
loved the *spirit* of Jean, was simply pushed aside by the power of my
erotic imagery.  Somehow, fueled and driven by the  haunting  melodies
of Enya, I sank into the sensual torpor of my reminiscence.

If I had thought my images might somehow be  visible  to  others,  I'd
have been embarrassed.  But safe within that secret place in my  mind,
I reveled in the richness of my erotic recall.  As if etched in stone,
the picture of Jean, standing  with  her  back  to  me,  flashing  her
pantied butt, came and went as a subliminal image.  The curve  of  her
back, the soft roundness of her womanly hips, the  dimples  above  her
gluteal muscles and the shadowed nether regions where the  thin  strap
of her panties cupped her mons...these mental pictures rolled  through
the interstices of "Shepherd Moons."

The one time I'd had the opportunity to *really* look at  Jean's  nude
body, it had registered and imprinted in my memory with  extraordinary
detail.  The filtered afternoon  light  in  her  bedroom  had  slanted
across her torso, seeming to pronounce and deepen the natural shadows.
Her breasts were  somehow  fuller,  heavier,  the  nipples  even  more
prominent.   Refracting  the  already  diffused  light,   the   almost
invisible, downy hairs on her belly  were  highlighted  and  became  a
penumbral shadow above  the  soft,  curly  down  of  her  pubic  hair.
Without the jutting prominence of a  pubic  ledge,  her  belly  curved
smoothly in a soft arc to the darkened region between her thighs.   In
my mind's eye, I could see that her rich auburn pubic hair, while  not
extensive, was thick and full and  curly.   I  knew  what  was  hidden
there, between her long, slender thighs.  I'd seen it once,  close  up
as she had urinated on a dusty  Sierra  trail,  facing  me,  in  broad
daylight.  My mind's images flashed back and forth  as  a  lens  snaps
into near- and then far-focus.  First one.  Then the other.

I was delighted and tormented and excited, all at once.   We'd  agreed
we would have a  "limited  sexual  connection."   We'd  abandoned  any
pretense that we weren't attracted to each other, but under  the  lash
of our own sense of propriety and some nameless fear of  doing  wrong,
we'd agreed that whatever else we did, we wouldn't  go  all  the  way.
Yet, that remained so  tantalizingly  ill-defined.   Hanging  in  that
ether of vague boundaries, I found myself almost agitated with desire.

The hours passed, despite my intolerance for delayed gratification.  A
few minutes before 11 P.M.  Jean called.  "Hi, dude!  Miss me?"

"Naw," I lied, "I forgot all about you.  What's up, woman?"

Her laughter picked  me  up.   "You  lyin'  sack  a'....Your  nose  is
growing!"

"That's not all that's growin'."

"Well, big boy," she began in her Mae West imitation, "if you'll check
under your pillow, we'll see if we can help it grow a little more."

"What..."  I began.   But  she  interjected:  "I  left  you  a  little
present.  Check it out and I'll call you  back  in  a  little  while."
Click.  The line went dead.

Still holding the dead phone to my ear, I pushed up and  turned  back,
looking under my pillow.  There was a pair of Jean's panties.   They'd
been worn.  Under them was a note.
