Now I was confused because the only men we had been near, was Adam who left, and her father who obviously she wasn’t having sex with. I just took it...as drunk talk and ignored it. I got tired and lay down where Pam came and cuddled me from behind, I love the feel of being hugged and I was soon asleep. I was awakened in the night by a scream and I sat up immediately to listen but instead of more screaming I heard giggling and moaning. I was still half asleep and rubbed my eyes as I heard a voice. There was moisture but it might be a stretch to call them tears. I raised my palm up but stopped short of touching her cheek. “May I touch you, your face?” I asked in a voice calmer than I felt.She sniffled and nodded yes.I wiped the moisture leaking from her eyes away and cupped her face, making her look at me. “You are not my fuck-doll. I can’t do that, I have to have some personal connection, at least like someone I’m fucking.”Between tight breaths she looked at me and asked, “You said no. ”“So do I. Does that mean we’re engaged?”“I’d say it means we have an understanding. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Our love hasn’t been tested, yet. But I do think that’s where we’re headed.”She rolled off of him and cuddled under his arm. He pulled up the covers. “That was a very straight and honest answer you gave me. I understand the level of commitment you’re comfortable with ... right now. I have that same level ... but I agree that is where we’re headed.”Ron reached for and. The elderbrother was impressed by his looks but kept his comments to himself. Hehelped the boy out as much as possible but eventually the yeardifferent caused them to have conflicting schedules so the two wererarely in the same place at the same time. They exchanged hellos andnods in the hallway but the two rarely communicated.By the elder brother?s senior year he had had enough of the school. Hehad college in mind but his constant loneliness and younger brother?sconstant annoyances led to him.
