Bob =================================================== Chapter 1 Brian Thackery was a normal kid who graduated High School in about the middle of his class. He wasn't a sports star, he didn't have a magnificent singing voice, he couldn't bring himself to speak in public and he looked as normal as any other boy in his late teens. But, Brian Thackery had just done something momentous. And what he'd done would change not only his own life, but the lives of a large number of other people, some of whom he didn't even know yet. It was May of 1990, and Brian Thackery was so excited he was about to pee his pants. He left the Military Examination and Processing Station (MEPS), having just joined the United States Army. He'd passed the physical and taken the oath of enlistment, along with sixty-five other young men and women. He was due to report to Basic Training in only a month, and after that he'd go to something called Advanced Individual Training, which they called A.I.T. All that was exciting, but the MOST exciting part was when he'd gone into the big computer room to find out what job he'd be trained in. The guy at the computer asked him some questions, typed in a query, turned around and said: "Ever thought about being an MP?" Not only had Brian never thought about it, the only image he could come up with in his mind of an MP was a big scary looking bruiser he'd seen in an episode of M*A*S*H one time. Everybody had been afraid of that guy. Hmmmmmmm. Now, as he walked out of the building, on his way back home, in his shirt pocket was a piece of paper that said he'd be trained in MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) 95B, which meant ... Military Police. He was still numb. He was going to be a cop! And not only was he going to be an MP, the school for that was right down the road from his house in good old Anniston, Alabama! He couldn't wait to get home and tell his family. Brian's family consisted of his two sisters, Liz and Patty, who were twins and a year younger than he was, his mother, Nancy, and his father, Tom. His family may as well have included his Aunt Jill, who lived two houses away, and her daughter Beth, who was his age, but was still a Senior. She should have graduated with him, but had missed a year of school because she'd had mono, and there had been complications. She'd almost died. But she was healthy now and had regained that special healthy glow he'd always thought made her good looking. His Uncle Bob, who he'd never actually known, had died just before Beth was born. Aunt Jill blamed his death on Agent Orange, from when Uncle Bob was a Navy SEAL in Viet Nam. He was a lot older than Aunt Jill when they got married. Brian didn't know much more than that. They didn't talk about Uncle Bob much because it was too sad. When he got home supper was in full swing. Aunt Jill and Beth were there, which was pretty much normal. Supper at the Thackery house was a fairly noisy proposition any time, and with two additional "talkity wimmen" as his father liked to say, it was downright loud. It got positively quiet though, when he slammed the screen door and swaggered into the kitchen. They all knew where he had been. That he was joining the Army was a favorite topic of "conversation" in the house. Aunt Jill ranted and railed that he had no business going off on a "dang fool adventure" when he was the "last remaining seed of the Thackery line". She was his mother's sister, but she had adopted the Thackery clan as if born into it. Everybody knew that talk about Brian joining the Army brought back painful memories of Jill's husband. Brian's sisters, having been warned throughout their early teens to "keep shy of those Fort McClellan boys", meaning the soldiers who trained at the post not far from their house, thought the idea that their brother was going to be a soldier was just gross. But his parents were just about busting with pride. And, really, that was all that mattered to him. His father was the first to speak. "Well? How'd it go? What did you get? Infantry? Armor?" Tom had a few friends who worked at Ft McClellan and had learned some of the language over the years. "You", drawled Brian, "are looking at a brand new ninety-five Bravo!" His father knew what that meant. Most of Ft McClellan was reserved for the training of the MP Corps. "You have GOT to be shitting me." he grumbled. Like most Annistonians, he loved the money that those soldiers brought to town, but he shuddered at the thought of all those horny seventeen and eighteen year old boys out on the streets ... the same streets as his two virginal - and lovely - daughters. "What's a ninety-five bravo?" asked Beth, who'd had a crush on her cousin for years. Brian pushed out his chest. "MP" he said proudly. "What's an MP?" said Beth, not realizing she was staring cow-eyed at her handsome cousin. Everybody at the table turned and stared at her. Everybody in Anniston knew what an MP was. The whole town was flooded with them. Beth, however, was the stereotypical blond, beautiful, fun to be around, and just a little ditzy. She knew there was an Army post in town, but that's about all. Patty piped up. "It means Military Penis, Beth" she said in a completely normal voice. Bedlam ensued, and it almost fractured supper. Nancy, ever the southern matriarch, sent Patty to her room saying "and you can leave that plate right where it is little missy". Then, even though Beth was bright red in the face, supper went on. Brian sat down at his sister's now empty place and began to finish her supper. Nancy watched her handsome son eating and sighed. An MP! Of all things ... a skirt chasing MP! Every female in town had been hit on by a soldier from the fort at one time or another. Jill was approached with great regularity, as she had decided not to wear her ring any more because it caused her to "remember". She worked at the "Super Trooper" which was a place that sold uniform items, accessories and accouterments aimed at soldiers in general and MPs in particular. Of course the reason Jill was the object of so many advances MIGHT have been that, at thirty-four, she was a stone fox. Bob had come back from Nam and had commenced to make up for lost time. He did so with his next door neighbor's daughter, Jill, who was only 16 at the time. When it became obvious, based on her swelling belly, that more than just kisses had been exchanged, he married her, only to fall deathly ill a few months later and waste away in a most horrible fashion. So, at age seventeen, she had been left alone with a baby girl, thankfully quite normal, and Bob's life insurance and some other benefits. She worked because she didn't want to sit home bored. She ran to keep in shape, and it worked. She was a bouncy, vivacious woman, with somewhat smallish breasts, but loads of thick honey blond hair and a classic look about her that some men might have characterized as "Ripe Southern Woman." Nancy was five years older than her sister, and had already been gone and married when Jill met Bob. And Nancy had been pregnant with Brian. She sometimes wondered if that was why Jill had been so careless as to get with child ... out of envy. Now, almost forty, even Nancy got regular slow, up and down stares from the uniformed men she saw on the streets, or at the market. Until now it had been flattering. But now her own SON was going to be one of those men! Still, she was tickled, knowing that even though he wouldn't be allowed to come home much at first, she'd get to see him a whole lot more than if he'd shipped off to some other state for his training. It being a more or less celebratory atmosphere, they had an impromptu party. Beth asked for and received permission to spend the night with the twins and the three girls disappeared into their room while the adults sat and talked about things in general. Brian, for the first time, was included in the adult ritual of sipping whiskey (Rebel Yell brand, of course) and shooting the bull. In the girls bedroom, there was a different ritual going on. The talk there was about boys, and what boys liked to do, especially with girls, and just how far you should allow a boy to go, and what that felt like. Soon the room smelled faintly of pussy, as three teenage girls got excited dreaming about what they'd LIKE to do with a boy. The first sixteen weeks flew by for Brian. He was in pretty good shape when he got to Basic, and though they pushed him physically, his body adapted. His chest thickened from pushups, his stomach flattened from sit-ups, and his wind improved from running. He found he was an expert shot with a rifle, and he won top honors in his company for marksmanship, able to shoot as well as his Drill Sergeants. He was even better with the 9mm Baretta pistol they handed him when he went to the pistol range. Though the weapon was loose from having been shot ten or fifteen thousand times already, he had an unerring sense of when to squeeze the trigger, and where the bullet would hit. When they used man sized silhouettes he shot the center of the target to pieces. There began to be rumors. Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait, and the Commander in Chief was PISSED about it. The Army was going to be sending troops, and they'd need a lot of MPs. In their 14th week Brian got a pass and went home. All the talk there was of Kuwait. "Do you think you'll have to go?" asked his mother worriedly. "Nobody knows, mom" he said. There are rumors that they'll leave us together as a Company and go that way. There are rumors we'll all be sent wherever, and some of those units will go and some won't. There are rumors that, by the time we get out of AIT it will all be over. Nobody knows." Two weeks later, they all attended graduation. It was the first time the women in the family had actually seen any soldiers doing anything other than shopping in stores, or getting something to eat. As they watched the handsome young men marching and standing at attention and going through the rituals associated with graduation, every one of them felt a tingle somewhere behind her belly button. Beth in particular knew she'd have to change her panties when she got home, as she watched Brian walk across the stage to receive his certificate and new orders. He was so handsome, and tall, and his shoulders were so broad. She daydreamed about running her hands over his chest muscles as an officer announced his name and that he was going to be assigned to the 501st MP Company in some town in Germany. His mother turned to her husband. "Germany! That's good, isn't it? I mean that's not Kuwait." Tom just patted Nancy's hand and said "He'll be just fine dear. There's nothing to worry about." He didn't tell her that most of the troops that would go first would be the ones who were already in overseas billets. Particularly those stationed in Germany. Brian got 30 days leave before he had to ship out, and he was ready for what he called "slack time". His sisters noticed differences in him right away. He was more confidant, less likely to respond when they tried to tease him, and when he did respond it was ... different. One example was the second night he was home, when Patty, walking down the hall toward the bathroom. She brushed by him and said "How's the Military Penis today?" He just kept walking and said "It grew about three inches in basic training. I had to get new pants. Bigger ones. They were pissed." He left her with her mouth hanging open. He'd said it so calmly, like it was actually true! She was so unsure about it that she told her sister what he'd said that night. Liz laughed. "No way. A man's penis CAN'T grow three inches after say ... I don't know, maybe age fifteen?" Patty still didn't know. He'd sounded so serious. "But I mean, look at his shoulders. They're wider. And his arms are HUGE. And I swear he's taller than he was when he went there. I mean maybe other things could get bigger too." Liz wanted to act like she knew everything, but she wasn't so sure any more. "Well, it doesn't really matter. We'll never know, right? I mean even if we saw it we wouldn't know if it was bigger or not." She changed the subject. "Did you hear Daddy and Momma talking after dinner tonight?" She sounded worried. "No. what's up?" asked Patty. "Daddy said that place Brian's going to is part of some division or something and that they're all going to go to Saudi Arabia in December. That's when Brian gets there!" They'd been listening to the news. Everybody who knew a soldier had been listening to the news lately. They talked about it into the night. They were both worried about their brother. Two days later was Jill's birthday. Nancy arranged a big party for her, with Bar-B- Q and corn on the cob, and cornbread and lots of other goodies. It started at noon, and by three O'clock the Rebel Yell had been brought out. Jill, moaning that at age 35 her life was probably almost over, drank her fair share and was in her cups by suppertime. Since everyone had been eating pretty much all afternoon, supper consisted mostly of sitting down at the table and just talking over desert. Jill was on a rant. "It's not FAIR!" she lisped, weaving a little. "Brian is the LAST of the Thackery line, and he shouldn't have to go off and get himself KILLED in some stupid war." Nancy spoke up. "We'll have none of THAT kind of talk. You may be my sister, and I love you, but I don't want to hear any nonsense about him being killed." Jill got up and went over to Brian, who had sat quietly through her tirade. She plopped herself down on his lap and put her arms around him. "I don't want you to go." she started sniffling. "You're the last of the Thackery seed." "MOTHER!" cried an embarrassed Beth, who didn't like it at all that her mother (instead of her) was sitting on the man she loved. "Have you no SHAME?" squealed Nancy, who was also uncomfortable with the fact that her sister's buttocks were firmly planted on her son's groin. Jill's continued reference to Brian as the 'Last of the Thackery seed' caused pictures to appear in Nancy's head that she was ashamed of. And her sister was sitting right on all that ... seed. Suddenly Jill's head snapped up and her eyes opened wide. She struggled briefly, wiggling all over Brian's lap in the process, and then managed to haul herself up off of him. She turned around, bent over and stared owlishly into Brian's lap. He was blushing. "HEY there soldier boy!" crowed Jill. "Is that a MOUSE in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?!" "MU-THER!" cried Beth. "Oh my word" gasped Nancy and started fanning her face with a place mat. The twins leaned over to look interestedly in their brother's lap. "OK, that's it." said Tom. "You've had enough to drink. I think you need a little nap Jill." He looked meaningfully at his wife and Nancy got up and took charge of her wobbly sister. "Come on you hussy." she scolded gently. "You're staying the night. You're in no condition to go home." She led Jill off to the guest bedroom down in the basement. When she came back she looked at Beth. "You can stay the night too dear, if you want to." Beth's eyes darted at Brian, and then she looked down at the pie in front of her. Later that night, a full and drowsy Private Brian Thackery undressed for bed. It was hot in the house, but he didn't want to open a window. Instead he just went to bed naked and lay on top of the covers. He was asleep within two minutes of his head hitting the pillow. Next door the twins and Beth were huddled together, worriedly talking about what Beth's mother had said. It was true. Brian WAS the last male of the Thackery line. If something happened to him in Kuwait or wherever, there would never be another Thackery born. All three went to bed thinking about that. Three hours later Brian got up to use what he now called the latrine. He'd had too much to drink, and he was paying the price for it now. He heard the mantle clock strike two times. Oh-two-hundred, he thought, automatically thinking in military time. When he got back to his room there was someone bending over his bed. "Brian?" came an attempted whisper. Whoever it was was talking to an empty bed. There as light from the street light coming through the window and he could see that it was his Aunt Jill. Or at least her hair. She was naked too, he noticed with some interest. Her hands went down to the bed, still made up and obviously empty. "Brian?" she said plaintively. "Yes?" he said softly from right behind her. He was staring at her naked buttocks in the dim light. They shone, brightly pale. She jerked up and turned around with a little shriek. "SHIT" she whispered loudly. "You just about scared the pee out of me!" Brian wasn't really listening to her though. Instead he was staring at her breasts. They were much larger than he would have believed, round and heavy looking, and they were shaking back and forth from the violence of her turn when he spoke. Each one had a thick dark nipple on it. Brian felt his prick start to stiffen. She was gorgeous ... even in the DARK! Jill's arms came up and she lurched toward him. "Oh baby" she sniffed, her arms going around him. The breasts he had just been staring at were pressed against his chest. They were hot and surprisingly firm and she smelled like some kind of perfume. She hugged him tightly and his cock bloomed to full hard. He felt it press into something soft ... like hair. "What are you doing Aunt Jill?" he whispered, swallowing. "You're going off to war baby" she whispered back. "You're the last of the Thackery seed." He'd heard that enough times that he was tired of it. "OK, so I'm the last of the Thackery seed. What are you doing in here ... like that?" Instead of answering him, Jill kissed him. It was a nice kiss too. In fact it was a FANTASTIC kiss. She pulled him toward the bed, and their lips pulled apart. "I have to do this." she mumbled. "I HAVE to do this. It's for the family!" Brian, having drunk his fair share of Rebel Yell himself, didn't function as he might have normally. He had some idea of what was going on, not being completely stupid. And, he had had more than a couple of beat off fantasies about the woman whose naked body was presently pressed against his own. But Brian Thackery was a virgin, and while he had some idea of what was going on, he hadn't the faintest idea of how to help it along. That he WANTED to help it along was plain, based on the fact that he had the hardest boner of his entire life. So Brian took the easy road and just went where his Aunt wanted him to go. That was why he ended up on top of his Aunt while she squirmed under him, her hands pulling and pushing and her body writhing under him as she got him into position to ensure that at least SOME of the last of the Thackery seed got deposited firmly in what she used to call her 'Sperm Bank'. She did this by the simple expedient of getting a grip on the finest feeling erection she had felt in years and years, and pulling it to the mouth of her wet and slippery pussy. Then she let nature take it's course. Brian, feeling the tip of his cock engulfed in soft heat, did what came naturally and thrust hard. He skewered his Aunt's pussy with one violent thrust, which elicited an "Ooof" from her, followed almost immediately by a murmured "Oh Brian! I had NO idea!" There followed a generally uncoordinated and somewhat spastic sequence of thrusts and grunts, primarily made by Brian, and about twenty seconds later he made his very first deposit in the Bank of Love. He announced it by saying what could be loosely translated as "Unnnggg" which is the universal language of love and means "Here it comes, please don't stop me now." She didn't. The fact that she didn't come even close to having her own orgasm was overshadowed by the fact that she got exactly what she wanted ... a pussy just chock full of the last of the Thackery seed. She showered him with kisses and little whispered lies about what a fantastic lover he was, and how much she had missed all this, and how glad she was that she got to experience an expert like him. All this to milk the last dregs from his balls. Her somewhat inebriated plan to have a Thackery baby had been kicked off. According to her somewhat inebriated plan, she had another twenty-six days to get enough of that Thackery seed in her to ensure the survival of the line. Having just experienced what was probably the biggest and longest penis she had ever had in her, she decided that it wasn't going to be much of a sacrifice after all. But she WOULD have to do something about his propensity to give her what she wanted ... a little more quickly than she wanted it. Brian stared at the dark ceiling after his aunt left. His balls hurt just a little. He'd never cum that hard in his life and he could barely remember it. He swore off whiskey for the rest of his leave and then fell asleep.saving_private_brian_01
