Family Ties

Chapter 2 A New Beginning


Jimmy and Kate soon noticed the reflective marker they had been looking for and slowed almost to a stop. The meandering county road they turned off of was nothing nearly as windy as the small dirt road they next had to navigate. After continuing down the road about a half a mile, the trees thinned out, allowing them to look down into a cleared, green valley.

“Wow!” Kate exclaimed. “That’s beautiful. Does it all belong to him?”

Jimmy slowed the car to a crawl. “Yeah,” he said in little more than whisper. “It looks like a park or something. I don’t know if he owns it or not. Maybe just the house.”

As they unhurriedly drove up to the old wood-frame farmhouse, three large mutts came charging up to challenge the intruder. As Jimmy had been instructed, they remained in the car until a large man stepped out of the house and walked out to the car.

“You Jimmy?” the man asked.

“Yes, sir. And you must be Charlie,” Jimmy replied through the open window of the car.

The large man came up to the car, placed a hand on top and bent over to peer inside. Kate uncomfortably noticed the older man made a long gander at her chest. She shifted in her car seat, turning slightly away from him and looking out her passenger side window.

“Well, get out and come inside,” the big man finally said. “But move easy till the dogs get a good whiff of ya.”

Charlie stepped back and Jimmy opened the car door. A big black Great Dane crossbreed stuck his muzzle into his side, taking his time to inhale whatever it was he needed to smell. Jimmy moved real easy until he had both feet on the ground. He then bent over and looked back into the car, telling Kate to get out. She slowly cracked her door and nervously rotated her head back and forth looking for the other dogs.

“Come on out, young lady,” the large man ordered. “They ain’t gonna bite a pretty little thing like you. Don’t be scared.”

The man’s statement in no way comforted Kate. Their family had never owned a dog, but she could remember lots of tales of people getting bit or mauled. And these were big, vicious looking dogs.

Charlie quickly walked around to help her out of the car. As soon as she stepped out, all three mutts had their noses all over her.

“Settle down boys,” the big man said. “Sorry, miss. They don’t ever see any females around here. They’re all boy dogs, you see.”

Kate looked up into the man’s face and gave him a nervous grin. “They look mean.”

Charlie laughed. “Yeah, they surely do. But don’t worry, you’re just too pretty to take a bite out of.”

A large brindle dog walked up behind Kate and stuck his large muzzle right into her ass. She involuntarily jumped into the big man who proceeded to laugh out again. “Leave her alone, Barney!” he shouted, swatting at the dog’s muzzle. “Don’t mind him, Honey, he’s always horny.”

Charlie wrapped his right arm around Kate, and moved along with her toward the house. As they walked, Kate felt the man’s large hand rubbing up and down along her waist and side. This made her more nervous about the large man than the dogs.

“You said you had a small house for rent?” Jimmy anxiously asked. “Is it close by?”

The large man stopped and turned back around to face Jimmy, squeezing Kate to him as he did. “Yeah, it’s right out back. Let’s walk through the house, though. Your sister might want to use the facilities, and I’ve just made a fresh pitcher of iced tea. You do drink tea, don’t you?”

Jimmy nodded his head affirmatively. “Yes, sir. Yeah, we both like it.”

“Good,” the man said, smiling back down at Kate, as they turned back toward the house. He didn’t begin moving though until she looked back up at his face. “You ain’t been around dogs before, huh?”

Kate worriedly shook her head. “No, sir.” She then twisted her head around to look at the three mutts following close behind.

“Well,” he began. “These are a good bunch, right here.” At that, he wheeled Kate around again to face the way they’d just come. “That big black dog yonder, the one that smelled your brother,” he pointed out. “That one’s named Harry. That’s short for Harold, you see. But hell, there ain’t no dog man gonna go and call his dog Harold. Hell, if ya did, the damn dog’d probably bite ya.” He laughed out loudly, squeezing Kate all the harder into his side.

Jimmy moved slowly up alongside Charlie and Kate, also looking back at the three dogs.

“Now, like I told you before, that big brindle dog there, his name is Barney. He’s the mean one of bunch, you see. His daddy was full-blood Pit Bull. He sort of runs the place. He’s in charge. Believe me, nobody would want to get him riled up. And that big yellow Labrador cross, I call him Jake. He’s a good-natured fella. I don’t think he’d ever bite ya but, as you can see, he’s got a big bunch a teeth in that head. I wouldn’t want to find out.”

The big man then wheeled around again, pulling Kate up close to him again. After they walked up to the screen door, he let go of her to open it. He then stepped to one side to let them walk into the house.

Jimmy and Kate were somewhat shocked to see how well kept the home was. Everything was orderly and clean. In fact, on the inside one would never know they were inside a wood-framed farmhouse.

Charlie waved them into the large kitchen and told them to pull out a chair and sit down. “If either of you’d like to visit the restroom, just use the one right through that door yonder,” he said, pointing toward the rear of the house.

The large man next went about getting three large tumblers out of a kitchen cabinet and used a scoop to fill them with ice out of a large bin he had in the freezer part of his refrigerator. He then moved a pitcher of tea to the table and filled their glasses.

“It’s all about the water, kids. Great tasting iced tea, that is. You just have to use really good water to make a really good glass of tea.”

He then sat down at the table. After a little small talk about their drive out to his farm and such, the man began a line of questioning to find out more about the siblings.

“So you two are brother and sister? Is that right?”

Jimmy nodded his head. “Yes, sir.”

“Where’s your maw and paw?”

Charlie noted the glance Jimmy made toward his sister. The man wasn’t a country bumpkin even though his mannerisms made him seem such. He very astute and had been luckier than most. Working in the defense industry had had its privileges. His better than average salary and prudent investments had made him a very wealthy man in the 90’s. He’d wisely rode the silver bullet to the top with his large investments in the dot-com high-tech world. But his wisest decision was knowing when to call it quits before the bubble burst. He had always had a good feel about people, perceiving much about them at first glance. He had nearly always been right.

Jimmy’s hesitation spoke volumes to him. Either these two kids were in trouble or they were running away from something.

Jimmy timidly looked back at Charlie and began telling the man about their absconded father and of their mother’s untimely death from cancer. He went on to say their mother’s small life insurance policy had cleared the family’s debts and gave them just enough to leave big city life behind. He made it plain to the large man they were not in any trouble, only that they were trying to start a new life away from the big city.

“You got a job, son?” Charlie next asked.

“Yes, sir. I’m working at that distributing hub down the road. It’s the one they use for routing food to the big stores. I was hoping to get Kate a job there, too, but they ain’t hiring right now.”

The large man nodded his head, looking from Jimmy back to Kate. “And what kind of work do you do, Hun?”

Kate shrugged her shoulders. “I haven’t worked yet. I’ve just worked around the house.”

“You good at house work?” Charlie excitedly asked.

Kate nodded her head. It instantly occurred to her the big man might want her to clean his house, too. That thought made her suddenly have an uncomfortable feeling.

The large man got out of his chair. “Well, you kids come out back. You can see if the house suits you or not. I ain’t ever had nobody in it since I bought this place. The previous owners used to rent it, though. But they let the thing really get run down and all. In fact, I’ve just finished working on the thing and decided I better rent it to get some of my money back, you see.” He laughed out loudly and patted Jimmy jovially on his shoulder.

After making their way out back, it was a short walk to what appeared to be a guesthouse. The dogs met them halfway down the path and the big brindle Pit Bull called Barney sniffed at Kate’s ass all the way to the door.

“Here you are,” Charlie said, holding the door open to the house.

“Wow!” Jimmy exclaimed. “Hey, you did a great job on the place. It looks brand-new.”

Kate was amazed, too. It was obvious the big man really knew his stuff where remodeling a house was concerned.

“Yeah, everything is brand-new. Like I told you on the phone, it’s fully furnished. It has two bedrooms, new beds and all. Take a look around. I’ll wait outside. Just give me a holler when you decide what you want to do.”

After Charlie closed the door, Kate ran up to Jimmy and hugged him. “It’s beautiful!” she gleefully exclaimed. “But can we afford it?”

“Five Hundred dollars a month, with free utilities? It won’t leave a lot of money for us till you get a job. But we’d be out of the city,” Jimmy told his sister. He could tell how happy she was about the place.

“But that isn’t much at all compared to what we’ve been looking at. They wanted more money than that for some real dumps. I was beginning to think we’d never find a place - - - and never as nice as this,” Kate replied with a big grin.

“Are you sure? Let’s look around.”

The two began looking around the place, marveling at how great the big man’s remodeling job had been.

“Yeah,” Kate finally said. “I can get a job. I’ll have to. But we’ll be fine. I’m certain he’d never come down on the rent. Not with it being this nice and all.”

Jimmy smiled devilishly at his sister. “I ain’t so sure about that. Did you see the way he was looking at you? The old man has a hard-on for you. There ain’t no doubt about it,” he chuckled, teasing his sister.

“Yeah, I noticed. He felt me up pretty good on our walk up to the house. Didn’t you notice?”

Jimmy laughed again. “I saw him rubbing you like mad. Maybe he’s serious about that housekeeping work, too. I bet he’d put you to work in a second.”

“Yeah, on his dirty ol’ cock,” Kate laughed out.

“You never know,” Jimmy said. “An old guy like that might pay good money to keep you around taking care of things like polishing his nob.”

At that, Kate punched her brother in the side. Though she couldn’t help but join him chuckling over what he’d just said.

After a few moments of quiet, during which time they stood looking around at the house, Kate turned back to Jimmy. In a more serious tone, she said, “I wonder if he’d let me work for him. You think?”

“You’re serious?” Jimmy asked.

Kate hesitated, turning around to look again at the newness of everything and the clean fresh smell. “Maybe,” she said in little more than a whisper. “I really don’t want to work around a bunch of people, Jimmy. You know I don’t like to get out much. I’m a stay-at-home person. I can’t help it.”

Her brother walked up to her and placed his arms around her, hugging her to him. He kissed her forehead. “Yeah, I know.”

She looked up and smiled at her brother and lover. “Should I ask him?”

“Or I could,” Jimmy said.

“Okay,” she said with a smile. “But if he doesn’t want me to, we should still take it. We’ll never, ever find anything like this again.”

He nodded, knowing she was right.

Kate remained in the house when Jimmy went outside to have a talk with Charlie. She knew whatever they had to do to get the place just had to be done. They would never, not in a million years, find another place as nice as this - - - not on their income.

“What you kids think?” Charlie asked, when Jimmy walked outside. The sun was falling behind the tree line in the west, and it would shortly be dark. Jimmy marveled at how quiet it was. He didn’t believe he’d ever heard anything as peaceful.

“It’s really a nice place, sir,” Jimmy began.

“Enough of that sir shit, son. Call me Charlie.”

“Okay then, Charlie. It’s really a great place. I’m the only one working right now, though. I’m not sure when Kate will get a job. She wanted me to let you know she’d be interested in that housekeeping job, that is, if you are.”

“Well hell yes, I am. It would do my heart real good to have a pretty little thing like your sister prancing around here,” Charlie stopped to gauge Jimmy’s reaction before continuing. He was pleased to see the young man didn’t seem shocked at his directness. “I hope she doesn’t mind my forwardness. I often say what I think, you understand. She’s a right pretty girl. Really easy on the eyes.”

“She’d be pleased, I’m sure.”

“Good. But I have to warn ya, I do get a little bit touchy-feely now and again. And, of course, my ol’ dogs will be quite anxious with a girl around, too.”

“Really?” Jimmy said. “Your dogs know she’s a girl. I mean, like a female?”

“Well hell yes, Jimmy. What did you think ol’ Barney was sniffing at? He could smell her. And I’d have to say he liked what he smelt. Didn’t you notice his ol’ cock dripping like mad?”

“I’ll be damn. I never knew that,” Jimmy admitted, amazed. He thought back on the dog, trying his best to remember what he’d seen.

“Well, then, if you guys want it, I’ll wait until I talk with your sister before we settle on a price and all. Of course, we’ll have to make adjustments if she don’t mind doing more than cleaning house. A number of things come to mind,” the large man added, smiling deviously.

Jimmy’s ears perked up at that. “That would bring down our rent?”

“Oh, yeah. I think you’ll find I can be very accommodating.”

Jimmy hesitated. He liked Charlie and had to agree he spoke his mind. But the big man was now talking his language. Just maybe Kate wouldn’t have to go out and get a job after all. “Maybe she wouldn’t mind doing other things, if you wanted. You know, more than just the touchy-feely thing you’re talking about.”

Charlie smiled broadly. “Yeah, I’d be interested. There might be a few things she could do like that, if she didn’t mind.”

“Okay then, I’ll fetch her and you can have a visit. Whatever you guys work out will be fine with me. Anything to bring down the rent will be a big help. Oh, and would it be okay if we stay the night? We have some food and things out in the car. I can unload them while you two talk.”

Charlie nodded his head, but his mind was totally occupied with the young piece of ass inside his guesthouse. When he woke up that morning, he’d never have guessed the day held so much potential. His heavy cock was dripping just thinking about it. In that way, he had much in common with ol’ Barney.

“You go ahead and have a talk with your sister first. I’ll go back to my house. If she wants, she can come on in and we’ll have that chat, once you two are done. And yeah, it’d be better if you guys spent the night. It ain’t worth driving that damn road back to town once it gets dark.”

Jimmy watched the big man turn around and walk back toward his home. He then quickly reentered the guesthouse and found Kate in one of the bedrooms. He straightaway told her the good news.

“He’s serious?” Kate asked.

“Yeah, he is. If you don’t mind, I think we could really get the rent down.”

Kate hesitated. The thought of doing what her brother implied was a bit nauseating to her. “I don’t know, Jimmy. He’s an awfully big man, and he’s at least fifty years old,” she replied. She looked around once more at their surroundings. It would be so great living here.

“What are you saying, Sis? You don’t want the place?”

Kate lowered her head. She knew a chance like this wasn’t likely to ever present itself again.

“Well?” Jimmy asked. “It’s up to you. I’ll go along with whatever you decide.”
“It would be like I was his whore, Jimmy. Do you want that?”

Jimmy noticed her look of disgust. He raised his hands to his hips and took a long look around at the house once again. He figured he liked it ever bit as much as his sister did. “Like I said - - - it’s up to you. I guess if you don’t want him to fuck you - - - well, maybe we could make some other arrangements with him. But I don’t really think so. There must be other renters who’d give him whatever he wants.”

Kate walked over to the kitchen table and sat down. Jimmy moved up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She always loved his touch. He raised his hands to her short brown hair and pulled it back, running his fingers slowly through it. She closed her eyes, relishing his feel, his touch.

“He said his ol’ dog Barney really has the hots for you,” Jimmy remarked.

Kate jumped nearly out of the chair. “What? His dog? What are you talking about?” She looked up at her brother with the most shocked expression he had ever seen.

Jimmy couldn’t help but laugh. “I think he might be one of those bestiality guys. You remember the porn sites we looked at with those girls getting fucked by those dogs?”

“No, Jimmy. I’m not doing that. No fuckin’ way am I doing that.”

He continued to giggle at his sister. “I’m just kidding. But, hell, you never know, you might like suckin’ a big ol’ doggie dick.”

With that, Kate turned around and punched her brother again. “That ain’t funny!” she exclaimed.

“Sorry. I was just remembering how much you liked it doggie-style and all.”

Kate then giggled along with her brother. “You are such a nasty brother.”

“You must remember, my dear little sister, you are just as nasty and perverted as I am. Now, what are we going to do about Charlie?”
“You don’t mind pimping out your sister?” Kate said, giving her brother a devilish grin.

“So you’re going to be my little street whore now, huh? Is that what we’ve come down to?” Jimmy asked, with a coy smile.

Kate turned back around in the chair. Thoughts of what she needed to do or what she would have to do ran through her mind. Fucking wasn’t so bad, although the only guy she had ever fucked was her own brother. She immediately made her mind up about one thing, though. They had to live in this house. It was so perfect for them. And she couldn’t very well expect Jimmy to be the only one to pay their way.

“Yeah,” she whispered out. “I guess I am. Your whore, that is. What’s that they say? It’s the oldest profession in the world. I guess if millions of other girls have done, well - - - I guess I can, too.”

Jimmy chuckled once again. “You must like this place as much as I do.”

“Yeah. It’s perfect. No matter what we have to do to stay here.”

“Come on then, let’s go. I’m going to unload the car while you have a chat with Charlie. He’s waiting for you in his house. I expect he’ll be pleased with our decision to stay.”

“And those dogs? He won’t make me fuck them, will he?” Kate asked.

“Maybe he won’t even bring it up. But that’s up to you. I figure you’ll do what you have to do.”

Kate stopped him before he opened the door. “If you want me to, I’ll let them fuck me, too.”

Jimmy smiled a knowing smile at his little sister. “Yeah, I figured you would.”
