“Ridight..."

“Still worried about having sex with your sister?"

“Huh?”

“David, you can't be afraid to think that way about her. She's a beautiful girl and you're a straight man. You're going to notice that she's got a nice pair of tits." Amber rubbed my head as I wallowed in post-orgasmic meLlowness.

“I'm not saying that you should have sex with her or that you shouldn't. ALL I'm saying is that she needs your love more than ever right now. And you can't hold any of yourself back. She deserves more.

If the physical thing is what's keeping you from helping her, from healing her, then you need to fix that in your own head so you can give her all the support you possibly can."

Now Amber fixed me with an annoyed expression as she looked down on me.

“Now what do you think is going to happen if she wakes up and you're not in the room with her?"

"Uh, she'll panic?"

“Exactly. So get back in there, babe. There's no one else who can do this for her."

I hesitated just one more time. "Even IF I were to do it. Isn't it too soon after what happened to her?"

Amber smiled wistfully.

“People have to get right back in the water. It worked for me. And if you don't, she'll never be able to touch a man ever again."

I sat up gingerly and started picking up my pants. I had been physically drained already from the exhaustive past 24-hours. Yesterday at this time I'd been on a drive with Danielle, feeling as happy as I'd ever been in my life. It's scary how much can happen in a day.

I'd barely gotten any sleep since then, and all that time awake and time stressing was catching up to me. Only my own mental turmoil had prevented me from truly finding rest. But now, Amber and my own orgasm had cleared away that block, for a little while at least. And my body was now seeking recuperation with a vengeance. Already my eyelids were drooping.

Amber kissed my cheek as I walked out to return back to Danielle's room. I smiled at her just before I closed the door. My girlfriend was one in a million.

Danielle had managed alright without me. But the moment I slipped back into bed, she rolled right over and snuggled her head onto my chest once again. And as I wrapped my arm around my sister and cuddled in tight with her, at last I could drift off to sleep and find some mental peace.

“Hi, squirt..."

Ever so slowly, my eyelids raised up into my sockets and morning sunlight filled my vision. Warm, yellow rays were peering straight through a crack in the blinds to light up my face. And through that halo of Light my vision focused and I saw Danielle's pretty face above me. The swelling on her cheek had subsided, letting both green eyes shine down on me. The bruising would remain for days, extra color splotching her skin. But I looked past all that. ALL I could see was my beautiful sister's sweet face.

What came next was automatic. I reached my hands up to her, my thumbs rubbing each of her cheeks before I circled my grip behind her ears.

And tugging every so gently, I pulled her face down to me.

She let out a breathy gasp, notes of both surprise and happiness in her voice as she parted her lips and met me head on. And then my fingers were tangled in her hair as we both turned our heads fractionally to the sides, pushing our mouths closer together while my tongue speared up at her, meeting her oral appendage as they twisted together in that ancient dance of passion and lust.

Her torso lowered down until she was practically laying on top of me, and as much of a thrill as it gave me to hold Danielle's head to me as we kissed, I absolutely had to feel the bare skin of her back in my palms. My hands dragged down her neck and hurried their way across the cotton of her pajama top. But quickly I found my way beneath the hem, my fingers at last brushing up the silky smoothness over her spine and working their way back and upwards.

For a few Long moments we simply remained liplocked as I caressed and massaged, reveling in the absolute surrender to my passion-filled impulses and finding that they somehow did not contradict with my brotherly affection for this sweet girl.

I had feared that guilt would seize me if I ever were to approach this moment, so finding nothing but love thrilled me beyond belief. And now that the final barrier between me and Danielle was gone, I didn't want to waste any more time.
