**********************************************************************************
"Here" Vee said as she pushed a cold beer into her brother's hand who was sat on the steps to their grandparents' place. Her high heels having long since been discarded, but she had yet to change out of the figure hugging off the shoulder stylish black dress she had worn all day.
"Thanks. Was a nice wedding, huh?" Dale replied with a raise of his bottle in his older sister's direction. Vee was only eighteen months older than her brother, so their age gap wasn't all that noticeable, especially with him being as big as he was. Growing up, folks often thought they were just twins. Somehow that had helped them grow up close, they were always each other's best friend growing up, no matter which crowd they were part of in school.
"I hope Sam's marriage works out better than ours" Vee sighed as she took a slow sip of her beer while sitting on the old rocking chair their grandfather used to sit and whittle wood in. There was almost a decade's age gap between Dale, Veronica and their younger sister Sam. They had all come back home for her wedding which she wanted to have on their family farm. Veronica and Dale were older than most of their sisters' friends and didn't want to cramp their style during the after party; they could still hear the music blasting down in the barn and knew the celebrations would be going on well into the morning. Their folk's house was too close to the noise, so they had opted to spend the night in their grandparent's house a little further away and up the hill, even though it was all but abandoned years ago when grandpappy had popped his clogs a year after his wife had passed. It was still looked after well enough, it was clean inside, but most of the furniture was covered in white sheets and the paint was chipping in spots where it wasn't just simply fading on the outside walls. It still smelled of grandpappy's pipe inside as well, that pungent odour of tobacco seemed to permeate every inch of the faded pink and white floral wallpaper inside.
"Hey, my wife died, your husband is the asshole that left of his own accord" Dale grumbled defensively as he tugged the knot of his tie loose and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt.
"Wish the asshole had died" Vee replied with a soft growl in response.
"Yeah, same. Never did see what you saw in him anyway" Dale groaned as he turned to sit sideways along the top step leading down to the stone walkway. His back against one side of the banister railing with his foot on the opposite side of the stairs against the other.
"Sure as shit wasn't money, wasn't hung like a horse either" his sister offered, which made her brother crack a grin. "I don't know, when we first met, he was handsome and charming. But after we got married, that just...sort of started to fade away and I began to see the real him" she sighed and shrugged her shoulder. "When he first raised his hand to me, that's when I knew it was time to get out, before he knocked me up and locked me in for life. That fucker was the whole reason I got my tubes tied on the sly, just so he couldn't 'accidentally' forget protection like he always did."
"I wish you'd told me sooner, Vee" Dale gripped his beer bottle a little tighter as he stared hard at the label. He remembered that day, or at least the ones following it. He had not heard from Veronica in a few days which was unusual for her, so he'd stopped by unannounced. He had seen her swollen eye and busted lip; her now ex was lucky he'd packed his shit and left town because if Dale had gotten hold of him, the asshole wouldn't have been able to walk, let alone lift a hand to anyone ever again.
"So, what, you could've done something stupid and landed your ass in jail? Not a chance, dumbass. I still need you out here, with me" Vee smiled a wan smile, full of sorrow and regret as she stared at her younger brother. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry about Gill. She was...something" Vee followed on softly.
"She was...fucking cancer" Dale growled and took a slow sip of his beer as he stared up at the full moon. He had turned his head to try hide the fact that there were tears in his eyes, but Vee knew him too well to fall for that. Soon Dale found his sister sitting in his lap as she cuddled against his chest, her arm wrapped awkwardly about him.
"Life sucks sometimes" Vee said softly as she rested her head against his.
"It is, but at least we still have each other" he replied, slipping his free hand around her back to give her a hug.
"Jeezus Christ Dale!" Vee yelped and shot up out of his lap.
"What?" the golden retriever asked in surprise.
"You hand is colder than a dead gynae" Vee shivered as she tried to reach behind herself and rub at the cold spot her brother's hand had left.
"Oh right, from holding the beer. Sorry" He laughed and reached up to rub the spot she was battling to reach, just at the small of her back and above her tail.
"Not helping!" She squealed and darted back inside the house with a laugh.
"Who said I was trying to help?" Dale called after the retreating Vee.
"Fuck you!" she called out from somewhere inside.
"Careful, we're in Alabama" he shouted perhaps a little too loudly apparently, when he spotted two people outside the barn smoking turn to look back at him. "Sorry, just talking to my sister" he blurted out before realizing that just made it sound even worse. Thankfully Vee seemed to have missed her younger brother's faux pas, when she came back down and returned to sitting in his lap, she had something in her hand.
"Vee, what's that?" He asked with a twitch of his nose, he already knew what it was. He just didn't know why his sister had it in the first place.
"Got it from one of Sam's friends, always wanted to try it. Have you ever?" She asked while trying to get the cheap plastic pink lighter held in her other hand to ignite.
"No, never..." Dale began to reply, but was cut off.
"Great, then we can try it together!" came her unexpected response. Normally Dale was the more level headed and serious one, but this time he simply shrugged his shoulders and agreed. They had nothing planned tomorrow and he didn't have to get back to work until Wednesday, so he had time to recover any possible ill side effects, so why the hell not?
Eventually Vee got the thing lit, considering she had never smoked a day in her life as far as he knew, she did manage to take a nice long drag from the joint before handing it over. Dale looked at his sister with a raised brow as she toothily grinned back at him, the acrid smoke spilling from between her teeth like some fucked up imitation hell hound. Dale had dabbled in smoking before, but it had never really caught on. He took a smaller hit from the joint, but as he went to try lower the spliff, Vee shook her head and held it in place to make him keep pulling.
"Fair is fair" She wheezed as she coughed and spluttered while finally letting the smoke vacate her lungs.
"If you say so" he replied before puffing a few perfectly formed smoke rings, which landed perfectly on her muzzle.
"Show-off!" Veronica laughed and batted the smoke rings away. "Fuck, this is kind of getting me in the mood. One thing I do miss about jackass, he wasn't too bad at eating pussy" the older golden retriever reminisced.
"Vee!" It was Dale's turn to cough and splutter now, he had never expected to hear his sister say something like that so brazenly. Though they were close, they never really discussed or talked about anything sexual before.
"What? Not like you've never eaten pussy before either, Gill used to boast about it to me all the time when you two first got together" she offered with a little playful grin.
"She what?" His head was starting to spin, his own wife had bragged about his oral skills to his own sister? "Yeah, well douchebag used to say you sucked a mean dick too" he countered with a grin, trying to turn the tables on Veronica.
"I still do" Vee replied nonchalantly as she stared at him with a questioning look that was hard to read.
Dale stared back at his sister, he couldn't outright determine if she was just fucking with him or not, perhaps the weed was just making him a little paranoid already. Either way, he suddenly became aware of the bulge in his trousers, so did she by the look of it. Vee grinned a little more and started rolling herself down against his lap subtly, there was no way she couldn't feel her own brother getting hard beneath her.
"Dammit Vee, stop fucking around" Dale sighed in exasperation, half expecting her to yell "sike" and then tease him mercilessly for getting hard for his big sister.
"I'm not. I mean, I'm not seeing anyone and I don't think I want to. Dating at our age is a fucking nightmare. I'd rather play hopscotch through a fucking minefield to be honest" she began to explain. "It's been a long time since I last had sex, pretty sure it's been even longer for you. I've had my tubes tied and you already had a vasectomy, so it's not like mistakes could happen. We're also both clean and healthy, so why not?" she finished off.
"Wait, are you actually suggesting what I think you're suggesting?" Dale stared back at her wide eyed.
"Yeah, exactly that" Veronica leaned in close to almost growl softly to her younger brother.
"Vee...we can't" he tried to argue, but the way she was grinding her behind down in his lap was making it rather hard to think straight.
"Why not, who's it gonna hurt? Neither of us are married, your kids are all grown and out the house. We're not seeing anyone and we both love each other, don't we?" Veronica persisted while beginning to lightly rub her muzzle against her brothers.
"Vee...I..." Dale tried to reason his way out of it, but the more he thought about it, the less he wanted to. Everything his sister said was true, they weren't married and he sure as hell never wanted to date again. After Gill, no one else would compare, he didn't know if he could love anyone else that much again. But Vee, he already loved her, he had loved her long before he'd even met Gill. Veronica was beautiful too, the way the moonlight caught her face, it highlighted her gentle smile and her beautiful eyes. Dale couldn't even say it was the booze or weed talking, he barely felt a buzz and his sister's eyes were still pretty focused as well.
It was as if time slowed down when Veronica leaned in and kissed him, it was the same kiss he had shared with his wife on their wedding day. A lump formed in his throat and an icy grip seized his heart, he never expected to feel something like that again. But here it was, sitting in his lap and very real, Vee was kissing him deeply with every ounce of love she had for her brother. Dale expected it to feel more wrong than it did, but it just simply didn't feel wrong at all. It felt like finally surfacing from the depths of the ocean and taking that first gasp of air after your lungs had been burning and screaming for oxygen for so long. So, he kissed her back, he kissed Veronica like she was the only woman in the world, because in that moment, she was.
Even when their kiss finally broke and their lips parted, they didn't move very far apart as brother and sister stared into one another's eyes deeply. They were both searching for something, any trace of doubt or regret, any sign that would tell them this was a bad idea and they shouldn't do it. There was none, when their lips met again for the second kiss, any microscopic traces of hesitancy evaporated and were soon replaced by torrents of need and desire.
"I think we should take this upstairs" Vee huffed once the second kiss ended, smiling and giggling like a schoolgirl who had just had her first kiss. Dale nodded and helped her to her feet before he got up to join her, leaving his half-finished beer behind as he followed Vee inside his grandparents' house. He had somehow never noticed just how beautiful Veronica really was; he supposed it was just because he'd simply viewed her through his brother glasses. But now, those had been discarded and he was seeing her as a real woman, someone he found he truly desired. The way her hips and tail swayed with every step up towards their grandparent's bedroom, he soon felt his trousers begin to get rather uncomfortable. She was shorter than him, so even being a step or two higher on the stairs simply brought them eye level. She would have made a great mother he thought, but after her ex, she didn't trust her judgement on partners so had opted not to bring any into the world. Veronica had kept her youthful good looks too, she might have been a little curvier now than when she was a cheerleader in high school, but he bet she could still pull off the uniform if she really wanted to.
Meanwhile, Dale had let himself go a bit. He used to be slender and toned from running track back in the day. Now he had a bit of a gut on himself, but he mostly still looked good, or so a few of the women in his office had commented, when they tried to set him up on blind dates. Even though he had successfully helped sire two kids, standing alone with Veronica in the master bedroom felt like his first time all over again. He knew what they were both here for and about to do, he had done it before, but none of that mattered now. As if reading his mind, Vee moved in close and stood on her tiptoes to lean up and kiss him again while she wrapped her arms about her brother's waist. Dale had never paid attention to it before, but his sister did have a rather nice rack, which was currently pressed against his chest as she hugged him close.
"So...how do we..." Dale asked awkwardly after the kiss had broken.
"Here, lay down with me" Vee directed as she pulled her taller brother down to lay beside her on their grandparent's bed. Even though he could smell her excitement on the air, she didn't rush ahead. Instead, they lay on their sides facing one another and just traded tender kisses until there was no hesitation or reservation. Only once she sensed he was comfortable with her, then did Veronica's hand begin to brush down along his upper arm to his hip, eventually moving lower to pressing gently against his bulge. At first Dale froze at the touch, but again Vee didn't force him. While she didn't remove her hand, she wouldn't continue groping until he seemed to relax once again with her directly holding his junk.
It had been so long since he'd felt someone else's hand on his sheath, but if he was a betting man, he never would've guessed the next person to fondle him would be his older sister. She was good at it too; he didn't even feel her undoing the zipper of his trousers until she had her fingers wrapped about him and gave his sheath a gentle squeeze. At least with his blood rushing down to his nethers and making his maleness grow within her grasp, it did further help him not feel so unsure about all this.
"Like that, huh?" Vee teased as she traced the pointed tip of her brothers prick with the pad of her thumb, making him jerk and shiver a little at the contact.
"Don't make this weird" Dale groaned louder when she did it again.
"Does that mean you don't want me to suck your dick then?" Vee couldn't help herself; she had always loved teasing Dale. But this, this was a particularly fun kind of teasing she hadn't bargained on. She found she could really make him squirm, in every sense of the word as she shifted down and brought her muzzle right beside his cock, her warm puffs of exhaled breath tickled his bare shaft while she stared up at him. God the look of helplessness and horny nearly made her laugh, she could see the typical guy side of him really wanted her to suck his dick, but the brotherly side was still fighting with his morals and was screaming at him how wrong this was. As if to throw fuel onto the fire, Vee leaned forward and took his entire length in one motion. When she looked back up at Dale, his eyes were comically wide, a bright blush instantly burst forth at his cheeks when Vee winked up at him and began to bob her muzzle slowly.
She was surprised to find her little brother was packing, or at least packing more than her ex ever had. She'd thought Gill was just exaggerating when they used to discuss the intimate side of things, it hadn't ever occurred to her that perhaps Gill might have been preparing her for this exact moment. Gill had known how deeply Dale had loved her, because she loved him just as much, so she knew there would be no replacing or replicating that love once she was gone. So, the closest thing to it was the bond Dale had with his sister, Gill had always known how close they were and knew that them stepping over that line into something more would require only a small nudge. When she was getting closer to the end, she had started laying the groundwork for both her husband and sister-in-law's future happiness. She knew Vee's past relationship with her abusive ex had put her off all other men, except the one she grew up with and still trusted. She knew Dale wouldn't be able to move on from her and let himself love another, but he already loved his sister. They both were grown adults with their heads screwed on right, so they wouldn't do anything risky or stupid. In the months leading up to her eventual passing, Gill and Vee had gotten even closer than ever, she had shared so much about her relationship and marriage to Veronica's brother, even the very intimate stuff, especially the intimate stuff. Gradually over the next few weeks, Gill knew her plan was working, she could see the change in the way Vee looked at Dale. It had to be Vee to make the first move too, Dale was too uptight and honourable, he would never make such a move as he would feel like he was taking advantage of his sister and betraying her memory at the same time. By the time Gill was dead and buried, she had passed away with a smile on her face, knowing she had given the two people she cared so deeply for, the best chance at happiness they could hope to have.
"Lay back for me" Vee eventually spoke, popping her maw from her brothers slick and achingly hard cock. He was even bigger than Gill had described. God, she wanted to ride him so badly.
"What for?" Dale asked in confusion, his head spinning from probably the best blowjob he had ever gotten. Even now, he was still clutching at the bedding beneath him, along with his toes being curled so tightly within his shoes, which he'd forgotten to kick off before getting in bed with Vee.
"Dumbass" Veronica sighed and rolled her eyes at him before she pushed at his upper hip to make Dale roll fully onto his back. As soon as he did, she climbed up and over to straddle his lap as she worked her black dress up about her waist to expose her matching black thong. "Why do you think?" Vee asked with a sultry grin when she began to grind herself down against her brothers trapped and turgid shaft, teasing herself with that delightfully thick cumvein along the underside of his length.
"So, we're really going to do this?" Dale swallowed hard after he asked the obvious question. His hands reached up to rest against his sister's waist before brushing slowly up and down, his thumbs tracing the sides of her abdomen and briefly caressing the undersides of her breasts at the apex of every stroke.
"I just sucked your dick, why would we stop now?" She asked with a laugh before dropping down onto her hands over him, her lips met his as she kissed him tenderly again. "We can stop, if you want?" she asked sincerely, as much as she wanted him, she didn't want him so bad that she would force him into doing something he didn't truly want to.
For a long moment Dale didn't reply, he just lay back and stared up into his sister's beautiful eyes, his hands at her cheeks with his thumbs brushing back and forth affectionately. After what felt an eternity, he gave a slight subtle nod for her to continue. Vee smiled and leaned in for another kiss, while down below, she tugged the crotch of her underwear aside before guiding his tip between her hot and slick folds. After a couple awkward tries and near misses, she eventually got him lined up and dropped her hips down a few inches. Both Dale and Vee groaned out in unison, their muzzles brushing and rubbing against one another before they pulled back to stare into each other's eyes. As she inched her way deeper down, Vee watched for any signs of hesitation or something that would tell her to stop, but there was nothing but love in Dale's eyes. Even once she finally took him to the hilt, as soon as she tried to raise herself up, his hands were at her hips to hold her in place, keeping her right where she was.
"Vee...I love you" Dale suddenly blurted out, the moonlight shining through the window being caught by the tears running down the sides of his face and casting them in a silver glow.
"I love you too" She replied without hesitation or an ounce of doubt. Normally she would have teased him about being so soppy, but she knew what he meant this time. It wasn't just the simple "I love you" people told their family because it was expected, he meant it. That final barrier between them was gone now, they were free to do, feel and say exactly what was in their hearts. It was more than just brotherly or sisterly love too, in that moment, she knew that just like her, Dale also felt like the missing piece to his puzzle had just been put into place and he finally felt complete again.
When she sat up straight again and began to move her hips, Veronica felt strangely alive, like she had been wandering through life half asleep the last few years, if not longer. Dale was smiling too, she hadn't seen him smile like that for quite some time, it filled her heart with joy. It didn't matter that their sex was awkward and uncoordinated, he would buck up into her at the wrong time as she was grinding down onto him, or that he was gripping her hips a little too tightly for her to move as much as she wanted. Vee wouldn't have it any other way, because it was raw and it was real, she wasn't just a hole for him to stick his dick into like she had been for past partners. She felt it in every fibre of her being and believed it completely too, Dale loved her just as much as she loved him.
There was no rush to the finish line either, they were both lost in the moment and enjoying every second of it. Dale stared up at Veronica, how the moonlight caught her hair and made it shine like a halo about her angelic face. She was even more beautiful now than ever, the way her brow slightly furrowed whenever she gasped in pleasure, how her soft lips twitched ever so slightly every time she nearly ground down too hard onto his knot. Even just the way she moved, she was so damned erotic and graceful, though he put most of that down to her years of being a cheerleader. Damn she felt so hot and tight around him, every time she lifted just a little before dropping back down and then stirring her hips to grind on him was fucking amazing. He never wanted it to end, even if it did, he hoped they could stay like this forever.
It was strange watching Vee's face contort from a happy and content mask to one of unbridled pleasure when her climax finally hit. Her brow furrowed and her eyes closed tight, her lips curled into a cute little snarl before he felt her hips jam down on him roughly a couple of times. Then he felt it, that familiar quivering clench and rush of extra slickness around him. Vee all but collapsed on top of Dale once the tidal wave of pleasure had washed over her, panting and moaning into his ear as she caught her breath.
"You didn't cum" She eventually asked in confusion, barely managing to lift herself up to look down at him.
"You did, that's all that matters to me" Dale smiled up at her as he replied.
"Oh no, bucko. You're getting your rocks off as well" Vee grinned and leaned in to kiss him with a playful growl.
"But I don't have protection!" Dale teased with a laugh.
"Oh, fuck off" she laughed and swatted him on the arm. "First, you're going to eat me out, then we're going another round...or two" Vee said with a look of determination on her face.
"Yes ma'am" he replied in his best schoolboy voice.
