Chapter 9, John's Date with Kate:


It was the following Friday night and John and Julie were coming in from having spent his afternoon off at the movies, laughing together as they often did after a day alone, this time finding their father in his chair waiting for them.

"Oh, hey, Dad," Julie said as she quickly composed herself at the sight.

"John, can I speak with you for a moment?" he asked as he stood.

"Sure," he said with a glance to Julie.

"Later," she said as she went to her room, recognizing their father's tone meant for her to leave.

"I ran into Mrs. Hill today," Mr. Franklin stated. "And it seems her daughter Kate has moved back.

"Dad, no," he protested as he knew where this was going.

"Hush. She's always had an eye for you and I'm tired of you spending your weekends here with no one but your sister," he told him. "You should be living on your own now and in a committed relationship. And if I can't have you out of this house, the least I can do is having you with a suitable young woman. You're picking her up tomorrow at seven."

"But, Julie -"

"Has seen enough of you for now," their father interrupted.

John sighed angrily. "You claim you see me as an adult and yet you're still treating me like I'm a kid. Setting me up, telling me it's this girl or else. And I have plans tomorrow night that I don't intend to break."

"You're off tomorrow night, you're taking Kate to dinner, that's all, goodnight," he told him just before heading off to his room.

"Julie," John called softly as he knocked softly on her door just a minute later.

"Yeah?"

"Can I come in?"

"Always."

"I really hate that I have to tell you this, but we're not gonna be able to go out tomorrow night," he said as he took a seat in her desk chair across from her bed, resting his arms on the back of the chair as he looked to her.

"What happened?"

"Dad's got it in his head that it's time for me to be in a committed relationship and thinks Kate Hill is the one for the job."

"Kate's back?" she asked, suddenly feeling more than a little inadequate.

Kate was 5'9 with medium length blonde hair and blue eyes. Not to mention a body that made Julie physically ill. Almost her complete opposite in every way. And Julie was all too well aware of Kate's infatuation with her brother.

John only sighed in reply as he nodded. He knew his sister didn't like her and he knew why. He wasn't too fond of her himself, but knew he would have to at least pretend the next night.

"Maybe Dad's right," Julie said. "And Adam and Karen, too. You deserve to be with someone you can be seen with. Someone you don't have to be ashamed to say you care about."

"Julie, I'm not ashamed to say I love you, I'm not ashamed that I love you. Where's this coming from?"

She shrugged slightly as she really didn't know. She just always got this way when Kate was mentioned. Finally she said, "I know you say that and you want to mean it, but you can't. I mean, it's one thing with Adam and Karen, but maybe this wasn't supposed to last."

John could only stare in disbelief at her. "Do you - Is this your way of - Are we over?" He couldn't believe he had to ask this. He didn't want to. He didn't want it to be over between them and could only hope she would drive out the sharp pain that had just entered his chest.

"If I had it my way, we never would be," she answered. "But I love you too much to be selfish. So go out with Kate tomorrow night and pretty soon this'll all seem like a crazy dream."

John couldn't take any more, he didn't know what had gotten into her, but he knew he didn’t like it. He stood from the chair and sat beside her on her bed before he coiled his arms around her, wanting her to know if it were up to him he would never leave her side. Just because he couldn't stand to be without her.

"John -" she said, not returning the embrace for the first time.

"Julie, I don't care who considers this wrong. You are the only one I love, want and or need. And I'm not letting you end this just because Dad says I'm supposed to be a certain way at this point in my life. He wants me in a committed relationship, well guess what, I am in one."

"Somehow I don't think this is what he meant," she said.

"Maybe not, but it's the way it is and I wouldn't change it for anything," he replied as he took his arms down and looked to her. "I'm doing what Dad wants tomorrow to keep us safe. You mean more to me than anyone ever could, please don't say we should end this. Not unless it's want you really want."

This time Julie laced her arms around her brother's broad shoulders and softly said, "I don't want it to end. I'm just worried what's gonna happen. We've been lucky so far -"

"Do you really think we'd be so lucky if someone somewhere didn't feel this was as right as we do?"

John's reward for that was a smile from his sister just before she took her arms down and asked, "Are you really sure about this?"

"We'll be okay," he assured her. "Tomorrow, I'll smile and be nice, but that's all. And at the end of the night she and I will part ways and that'll be it."

"And when Dad tells you about date two, whether it's with her or not?"

"I'll tell him the truth. That there's someone else. Someone no other could compare to."

"And when he asks who she is?"

"I'll play my 'I'm an adult' card," he replied with a slight smile.

Taking in his words, Julie could only ask, "Can you stay here tonight?"

John nodded with a soft smile and moved over to his side of her bed, taking his shirt off, but leaving his jeans on so it wouldn't look too suspicious in case their father came in.

Julie was already in her pastel blue sleep set and moved as close to him as she laid down herself.

"Well, I'm off," John said as he looked to their father seated in his chair before looking to his sister as he neared the front door the next night just before seven.

"Have a nice time, son," their father stated.

"Yeah, have fun," Julie muttered without turning in her seat on the sofa to look at him. He wasn't the one she was angry at, but still she knew she couldn't look at him then. At least not without bursting into tears at Kate being the one seeing him tonight.

"I love you, Julie," he told her as he opened the door. And just as he had hoped, though she tried to fight it and though she didn't look over to him, he managed to see a small smile appear on her lips.

"Love you, too," she told him, still fighting the smile that was trying to emerge.

The minutes passed and as Julie sat balled up on the far seat of the sofa, she had picked up the TV remote, desperate to find something to watch.

There was nothing she considered worth watching on, but still she flipped through the channels silently, not caring their father was still in the room.

"Julie, you shouldn't be begrudging your brother his happiness," Mr. Franklin stated. "I know you're jealous and probably angry that I'm not letting you see anyone right now, but in a few years it'll be your turn and you'll be fine."

Julie didn't reply, she had nothing to say to their father right now. She was too angry and more than a little jealous. But not of John. She hated that it was Kate of all people out with her brother and that she had to let it happen.

"Julie, you'll kill the batteries," he told her.

Luckily for their father, Julie didn't give up the remote right then. Had she it would have been flying at his head! She was hurt and she was angry. Far too much to even dream of hiding it. And right now she was in the room with the reason why.

"Julie," he said firmly. At that she stood, leaving the remote on the sofa and headed into her bedroom, flipping through the channels the same way on her on TV.

Several long minutes passed before Julie dropped the remote and picked up her phone, deciding to call Karen.

"Hello?" Karen answered on the third ring.

"Karen, it's Julie, can you talk?"

"Sure, what's wrong?" she asked, realizing from her friend's voice something wasn't right.

"It’s Dad, he's trying so hard to get what he wants and what he wants now is John with Kate Hill. He's on a date with her now."

"Maybe you should get out of the house tonight," Karen suggested. "Alex is having a party."

"Yeah," she scoffed, "endless booze, continuous orgies, blaring rap music, no thanks."

"Look, you could use a drink and a night to take your mind off John. I'm not saying to join in the festivities, just relax. Besides, would John want you stuck at home tonight with you feeling like this?"

Those were the only words Julie needed to hear to get her to agree.

Just a half an hour later Karen and Julie emerged from Karen's car and headed into Alex's parents' sprawling white house. As they often were, Alex's parents were out of town and it was widely known among those they knew that this was the best party house in town. Nearly each weekend.

Even from the front lawn both young women could see Julie hadn't been exaggerating. At least not by much. There was all different kinds of beers by the keg and a few other young women were already half naked and groping and being groped by their partners on the grass. The music also hadn't been an exaggeration as they had been able to hear it since they pulled onto Alex's street.

"Remember, have fun tonight," Karen said.

"Where are you going?" Julie asked when she saw Karen walking ahead of her.

"To find Adam, you'll be fine," she answered.

Julie was determined to keep her mind off John and Kate and headed into the house though her head was already throbbing from the noise. Not just the music that was bouncing off of the walls and causing the floor to shake, but the loud shrieking and splashing from the pool area and shouting inside because no one could hear over the music.

"Julie cakes!" Alex exclaimed when he saw her a minute later. "You finally made it to one of my shindigs, awesome!"

It was obvious he was already plastered, but the average height, slim brunette still tried to carry on a conversation with her.

"Just had to get away for a night," she told him.

"Here, this'll help," he told her as he handed her a clear plastic cup of beer.

Julie almost never drank, but tonight she felt the need. "What the hell," she said as she took it and took a sip. It tasted horrible to her, but she really didn't care. It was all that could take her mind off John being out with another woman.

She was just thankful she wasn't the type to go to the restaurant and ruin his date and truly get them caught. Instead, she decided then and there she was going to enjoy the party. In less than a minute she finished her beer and started dancing within the thick crowd, a number of guys surrounding her on all sides.

Another hour and five more beers later, Julie still had yet to see Karen again, but really didn't have it in her to care as she had really begun to get into the party. She was dancing with nearly every guy in sight, the less they looked like John the better.

Two blondes had their slim arms around her waist, another of the guys had his over-muscled thigh between her legs, another was trying to grope her bouncing breasts and another had his hands at her shapely butt. Too lost in her dancing and drunkenness, Julie really couldn't have cared less.

"Damn, you look hot tonight," Alex said when he found Julie again as she went for another beer. He could hardly take his blue eyes off her sweat-soaked blue tank top and skin tight jeans.

"Yeah?" she asked, knowing in this state he could hump a wall and not notice a difference. Assuming he could even get it up.

"Oh, yeah. Johnny boy is one hell of a lucky guy," he told her.

"What?" she asked, beginning to be brought back to reality.

"Getting to see you and your hotness at all hours of the day and night. Too bad the poor guy can't act on it, must drive him nuts."

"What are you talking about?"

"Being your brother it'd be too much of an eww fest if you know what I mean. Sister or not, I'd let you fuck me 'til I couldn't remember my name."

"Can you even remember your name now?" she asked, angered by nearly each word he had just said.

"Ha! Good one!" he cried with a laugh. Then he paused and thought before asking, "What's your point?"

Julie just shook her head and walked out into the living room, taking a seat on one of the sofas as she took her cell phone out of her pocket. She had sworn to herself over and over that she would not interrupt John tonight, but she wanted to leave and without Karen around, she knew he was the only one she could call. Especially since there was no telling what condition she would be in even if she could find her.

"Hello?" John asked as he answered his cell phone.

"John?" his sister asked weakly.

"Julie, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry for interrupting your date, but could you come get me?" she asked almost too softly for him to hear over the blaring music.

"It's okay, it already ended. Where are you?"

Julie's heart sank at that question, knowing she would have to admit it. "At Alex's."

She heard her brother sigh at her answer, knowing he was why she was there. "I can be there in twenty minutes," he stated finally. He was angry, but not at her. He couldn't blame her for being there, or for being drunk.

"Hey, Johnny boy, you're here!" Alex stated excitedly through his increased drunkenness when he saw John come into his large house.

"I'm here for my sister," he told him.

"Isn't every guy here?" Alex asked with a laugh. "I mean, in case you haven't noticed, your sister's one hot piece of ass."

John's fury towards his and Julie's father was building quickly and the fact that his sister was drunk at a party with Alex's words cutting into his mind were not helping him to stay in control. He pushed Alex slightly to pass him and scanned the thick crowd for Julie.

"Hey," John said when he found her a minute later.

"Hey," she replied, more than a little ashamed of herself for being this way.

"Ready to go?" he asked softly.

Julie only nodded as she stood shakily.

John put a caring arm around his sister's slender shoulders and walked her out of the party and helped her into the passenger seat of his car.

"You won't tell Dad, will you?" she asked as he drove.

"That you got drunk at one of Alex's parties because you couldn't stand the thought of me being out with Kate?" he asked with as much of a smile as he could give her.

"Is that a no?" she asked in as much of a hopeful tone as she could muster.

"That's a no," he replied. "You've been through enough tonight. We both have been."

"What do you mean?"

"We’re not the only ones being told who to or not to be with it seems. Even Kate's with someone her mother doesn't know about or approve of. And just so you know, you're not the only one who had a drink tonight."

"Says the man driving," she commented.

"It was only one beer, I had it with dinner and it was over an hour ago," he assured.

He pulled into their driveway nearly a half an hour later and got Julie to her room as quickly as he could, somehow managing to avoid their father.

"Do you want me to stay here tonight?" John asked once his sister laid down in her bed.

"Umm hmm," she purred, her voice about an octave higher than her usual as the alcohol's affects were beginning to show.

"What - what are you doing?" he asked as she sat up and crawled slowly towards him.

"It's funny," she said as she continued moving hear him until she was lying him down. "Normally I don't get like this. Normally, I'm a tired drunk. Or maybe a bit of a fun drunk. But right now," she added with a giggle, "looking at you, there's something I wanna give you."

"Julie, I'm not sleeping with you tonight. Not like this," he told her.

"It's not like I wouldn't be doing this sober," she said as she now had him flat to her mattress.

"Julie," he said again as he tried to sit back up.

Not taking no for an answer, Julie brought her slender hands to his shoulders and shoved him gently back down to the bed.

He was surprised by his sister's strength, but he knew she was right. And he couldn't help but be thankful she was giving this to him instead of one of the guys at the party.

Running her right hand over his groin, Julie smiled to herself as she watched the bulge in his black jeans grow larger. "There goes your claim of not wanting this," she stated as she moved to free him from his confines.

"I didn't say I didn't want it," he breathed. "Just that it doesn't seem right with you being drunk."

"Let's see if I can change your mind," she told him as his cock finally jutted free as she lowered his jeans. "Besides, what better way to thank my big brother,?" she asked as she eyed his still swelling stalk.

"For what?" he asked, his breath steadily leaving him as his want was beginning to take over.

"For getting me out of that party. Think of this as your reward," she told him. She heard his first groan as he right hand tightly closed around his hard shaft, her tongue slipping from her mouth and circling his crown before circling his slit. Tonight she had no plans to tease him and was about to prove it.

Julie gave her brother's rigid prick another few good pumps before she took the tip of his meat past her gently pouted lips and sucked hard at it for several seconds, her hand still stroking the rest of his satiny length intently.

As Julie brought more of him into her, John didn't have it in him currently to care where their father was in the house. All he seemed to care about now were the jolts of pleasure shooting through his entire body, the increased throbbing at his rock solid pole and the incredible feeling of finally being in his sister's talented mouth once again.

Almost as soon as Julie's lips met the base of her brother's cock, she brought her hands to his hips and hollowed her cheeks slightly. She paused for a moment before pulling back until it was just his slightly oozing tip she was tasting. She paused again before taking his entirety in again, both of them feeling him hit the back of her throat once more.

But before he could get used to her slow, almost teasing movements, Julie hollowed her cheeks completely and began bobbing quickly, but rhythmically on his fevered rod. He was having a harder time concealing his moans with each buck towards her his hips made and she continued increasing her suction.

It would be a quick one, they both knew. But that had been Julie's plan all along. She didn't want him to have to wait. And with that in her own clouded mind, she sped her pace again, her hands now leaving his hips as they weren't doing much good at keeping him in place as it was. Instead her right was now grasping and gently squeezing his tightening sac while her left moved over his muscular right thigh.

John's entire lower half was surging, his head was canting back into the mattress as he fought not to let out any incriminating groans that were only growing louder, his hands were digging into her bedspread and his hips were still bucking towards her, but still Julie would not pull away. She was meeting her brother eagerly at each thrust, taking all he had to give.

Julie shortened her pumps and increased her suction, letting her tongue glide over glans just a few more times before taking him in completely again, this time feeling her brother's body tensing beneath her.

Once John felt hit hot, glistening dick sheathed completely in his sister's soft, wet mouth once again, his long minutes of holding back were through. He gave a long, low groan and shuddered all over as his hot load fired down her throat.

Still, the petite brunette didn't pull away until she had licked him clean, still enjoying the salty taste of her reward. But when she did pull back finally, she shimmied back up to his side and laid beside him. "Not bad for a dunk girl, huh?" she asked as he tucked his spent cock back into his boxers.

"No," he said with a partial smile. Her technique had not differed greatly, but still he would have preferred her sober. Though he was still thankful that she had done this for him and none of the others at the party.

"Still wanna stay here tonight?" she asked as she laid her right arm over him.

"Umm hmm," he purred.

"I'm sorry about tonight," she told him. "When Karen called -"

"Shh," he said softly. "It's okay. If it'd been the other way around I probably would've been in even worse shape. We both had a pretty bad night, but I think it's ended nicely."

"Yeah?"

"Let's see, I started out the night with someone neither of us are too fond of and I end it in bed with you, yeah, I'd say that qualifies as a good ending for tonight," he answered with a smile to her.

If she hadn't been so tired she would have moved as close as she could to him as physically possible before kissing him, but as it was she was doing well to keep her eyes open and carry on an even partially intelligible conversation.

Seeing this for himself, the muscular brunette could only say, "Goodnight, Julie."

"Night, John," was his sister's sleepily reply.
