Fantasies Do Come True

   By:" Charlie "the drifter"

   "Hi Sis." I said to my younger sister as she walked in from school.  Sis
is a Junior at 16.  I have to say that she is one damn fine looking young
woman.  She stands about 5 ft 1in tall and weighs only 98 lbs.  She is
slender and petit.  Her breast are a 34 A.  Damn I love them and would love
to fondle, kiss, lick and suck them.  But she is my sister.

   Well sometimes even a complete fantasy can come true.  Oh yes, if I had
the chance I would fuck my sister in a heart break.  I don't know if she
realized it but I would.  Of course I would never even try if I did not get
some indication from her that she wanted it.

   Sis was supposed to go to the Junior Senior prom with a boy friend.  But
after he had ask her and she went out and bought a gown/shoes, purse and
all that stuff that girls and women have to buy, about two weeks before the
prom, she dumped him.

   She dumped him when he tried to get her to let him fuck her.  He even
tried to force her to submit to him.  He held her and squeezed her tits,
even slipping his hand down inside under her bra and playing with her bare
tits.  Well she took care of that, she reached down and grabbed him by the
balls and squeezed them so hard he almost passed out.  Believe me he quit
and quickly took her home.

   Now me, I had just gotten out of the military having enlisted for three
years right out of high school Well I had spent my three years and was now
free once again.  I had just gotten home a couple of months before and no
one around the area knew me.  My folks had moved there right after I had
enlisted.

   Well my little Sister was naturally devastated.  She was pissed off at
her boyfriend, but really upset at not having a date for the Prom.  She
didn't want to go alone.

   About a week before the dance, I felt sorry for her.  I knew that most
of the boy's had already ask the girls they wanted to take.  Even though
she was one of the most gorgeous looking girls in school it was just to
late for anyone to ask her except those that she did not want anything to
do with.  Those that used drugs, and the like.  She wasn't about to go with
any of them.  Even if she wound up not going at all.

   I came in one night, mom and dad had gone out for the night.  Sis was
sitting there on the couch crying.  I went over too her and sat down next
to her, put my arm around her and hugged her to me, letting her cry on my
shoulder.  What bothered me though was she was only dressed in her short,
see through baby doll nighty.  Sitting there with her in my arms crying I
could easily see her firm small tits and nipples.

   Looking on down further, I could see the dark patch covered by her very
see through panties that went with the nighty.  Damn she had trimmed her
hair to just a small tuft just above her beautiful little slit.  I wanted
so much to reach down and touch it, but I resisted the temptation.  I just
enjoyed the sight that I had.  Sis did not seem to realize that I was
seeing her hidden beauty.

   She was sobbing out how she wanted so bad to go to the prom and how much
she hated her late boyfriend for what he had done to her.

   I finally told her that if I wasn't her brother I would sure take her in
a minute.  She suddenly stopped crying, looked at me, and ask.  "Do you
mean it?  Would you take me to the prom?"

   "Sure Sis." I told her.  "You are probably the most beautiful girl in
your school.  I would think that most of the boys would be proud to take
you and be seen with you."

   She was quite for a full two minutes.  The looking at me ask.  "Will you
take me?  I don't care if you are my brother.  Besides no one here knows
you do they?

   "No, I don't think so." I said.  "I guess I could."

   "Don't you want to?" She ask about to go into tears again.

   "Sis, I will take you anywhere.  I will do anything for you that I can.
You know that sweetheart." I slipped when I called her that.  But hell she
was a sweetheart to me."

   When I called her that, she gave me a look that looked like one of
interest instead of shock or surprise.  Then she ask me if I would take her
and pretend that I was her new boyfriend.  Naturally I told her I would,
but that she would have to be careful that no one would find out I was her
brother not her date.

   She hesitated then, ask me if when I took her if I would treat her like
we were on a date.  Even to hugging her and kissing her so that everyone
would think that I was.

   "Do you mean that, Sis?" I ask hesitantly.

   "She looked at me shyly and said "Yes, I mean it.  I want you to hug and
kiss me, and act like you are a boy friend.  I want to forget that we are
brother and sister for the prom." She said softly.  "Will you do that,
please?"

   "Honey, for you, I told you that I would do almost anything and I think
it would be fun and exciting to be your actual boy friend, even if it is
just for one day and night."

   She hugged me and kissed me right on the lips and not really in a
sisterly type kiss.  Which surprised me but hell I wasn't going to
complain. Not since I had wanted to grabbed her and plant one on her lips
that would curl her toes.  Or at least try too.

   "She gave me a second kiss, this time her lips trembling as her little
tongue darted out and slipped between my own to touch my own, then pulled
back into her mouth.  Damn was she telling me something?" I wished to hell
I knew.

   As she got up and walked toward her bedroom, she turned and looked back
at me giving me an almost clear view of her beautiful body, including her
tits and nipples and her little spot of dark hair just above her little
slit.

   "Now don't forget we aren't brother and sister on prom night, I am just
a girl out on a date with my handsome boyfriend." She said then giggled. 
"My friends will all be jealous that I have an older boy friend."

   Damn my cock was hard with those thoughts about my own sister that I
knew I should not have.  But I couldn't get her beautiful body, what I had
seen of it, off of my mind..

   It seemed after that, every time my sister seen me, even with our
parents there, she would come up to me giggling and give me a hug and kiss
on the lips.  They sure were not sisterly kisses either.  She would always
kiss me then say only, then say how many days were left, then say, "boy
friend."

   We had told mom and dad what we planned on doing.  They thought it was
funny, but mom would always say, "Just don't carry it too far." Then kind
of giggle herself.

   Finally Prom day arrived.  Seeing as how I was actually still in the
service, and was just on terminal leave, that I had built up, I could wear
my military uniform.  The uniform showed the rank of Warrant Officer Two.
When I had enlisted I went to a school that when I finished I was promoted
to the rank of Warrant Officer.  In the three years I was in, I made
Warrant Officer Two.

   When I had ask Sis what she thought about me wearing my uniform she
almost jumped with joy.

   "Yes, Yes, wear it.  I will just tell everyone my boy friend is still in
the military but he is getting out." She giggled and said that her girl
friends and the other girls at school would be green with envy.  My Sister
was really getting into this.

   When I saw her with her gown, I gasp with surprise.  She was the most
beautiful girl or woman that I had seen in a long time.  Mom had out done
herself on the gown.  It showed just enough of her breasts to make the boys
think that they were going to pop out and they would get to see her naked
breasts.  Don't ask me how she done that, I don't know.  I knew mom could
sew, but damn I didn't know she could do magic with the needle, but she
did.

   Sis knowing that most of the kids would be going to a certain parking
place that overlooked the town after the dance, told me that we would have
to park there and make out just like a boy and girl friend so the other
would not suspect anything.  The area was where all the kids went for a
"Lovers Lane" type setting.

   She told me that we would really have to make out other wise the others
might not believe that he was her boy friend.

   Now for a boy who loved his sister and wanted to be more than a brother,
someone who wanted to enjoy her to the ultimate, that was in invitation I
could not refuse or even think about not taking her up on.

   It was a lot of fun going to the prom, acting like my own little sister
was in fact my girl friend.  All of the way to the school, Sis sat right
next to me and even took my arm and put it around her shoulders say that
her girl friends might see us on the way there.  The only thing was she was
holding my hand and she held it cupped right on her firm small breast.

   Damn was she showing me something, telling me something?  At least I
still had my fantasy of being with my sis.

   After we parked, she insisted on me kissing her saying that if we were
boy friend and girl friend we would sit in the car a few minutes making
out. Well we made out.  Her kisses were anything but brother and sister. 
They were hot, heavy passionate and had my cock so hard I was afraid to get
out of the car.  I didn't know that my own baby sister could kiss in such a
way.

   Then as if to top it off, she kissed me one last time before we got out
of the car.  When we did, she again put my hand right on her breast and
squeezed my hand making me squeeze her breast.

   "Oh damn, I love having you for my boyfriend even if it is just for one
night like Cinderella." She whispered in my ear.

   I couldn't believe the way that Sis was acting but I sure wasn't going
to knock it.  It was like my fantasy coming true.

   Once we were inside my sister really put a show on for her friends and
her exboy friend.  I could see him staring at her with lust in his eyes. 
Well he should have thought about that when he tried to rape her.  If he
had not done that she would have probably let him have what he wanted
sooner or later.  By acting like a slob he ruled himself out of being the
one that took her cherry.

   I found myself wishing that I would be the one that would have the joy
of doing that.

   When we danced, sis made sure that her entire body was pressed against
me rubbing me, caressing me.  I couldn't help it, my cock was so hard I was
afraid to stand up.

   She looked up at me, grinned and pressed herself even harder against me.
I knew that she could feel my stiff cock when she did.  She couldn't help
but feel it.

   She pulled my head down and gave me a quick kiss right there on the
dance floor.  Then she grinned and ask me.  "You mean your own sister makes
you feel like that?" then she pressed her own pubic area up tight against
my stiff cock.  I knew for a fact then that she could feel it.

   After a couple of dances she took my hand and pulled me outside.  She
led me to a more darkened area then told me to hug and kiss her because her
girl friends were watching.  Hell I couldn't see anyone, but I wasn't going
to argue.

   I pulled her to me, like she was really my girl friend and I kissed her
lips and held her just like she was my lover.

   As we kissed I could hear her begin to moan, deep in her throat.  She
didn't want to break the kiss.

   Finally after several more minutes of hugging and kissing, we went back
inside.  I was sure glad it was a slow dance they were playing, I could
hold sis close and hide my hard cock.

   Sis turned down many dances with boys from the school telling them no
she had a boy friend and she had promised him all of the dances.  She also
kept smiling at her girl friends as if to say, "Look at me I have an older
man for my boy friend." You could see the jealousy and envy on their faces.

   I was wondering just what was going to happen after the dance.  She had
told me that we had to go out and park afterwards just as if I was her boy
friend.  The way things were going I was almost afraid to go out parking
even if she was my own sister.  That was what I was afraid of.  Afraid of
what I would do.

   Well after the dance, as we stood by the door of the car sis gave me a
hug and a kiss in front of her girl friends that made my toes curl.  Talk
about a hot kiss.  I couldn't believe the way she kissed me.

   When we did get into the car she cuddled up to me just like I was her
boy friend.  The show wasn't over with yet and I knew it.  Especially the
way my own Ss was acting.

   As we drove out to the old parking place, "Lovers Lane" Sis pulled my
arm around her and I'll be damned if she didn't put it, not on her breast
but inside of he dress on her bare breast.  Damn her breast was so firm and
her nipple hard and stiff against the palm of my hand.

   Holding my hand on her bare breast Sis was sitting there cuddled up to
me purring like a little kitten.  She was really getting into this boy
friend instead of brother game.  I wasn't sure I would be able to go
through with this, even though I had fantasized about making love to and
fucking my own sister.  I couldn't believe that Sis had carried it this far
now.

   I tried to pull my hand out of her blouse but she held it against her
small breast tight, not letting me.  I finally gave up and just enjoyed the
feeling of her mound.

   When we did get to lovers lane, she told me where to park, which was
away from everyone else.  She told me that she wanted her friends that were
there to see us but not be able to tell what we were doing.  She didn't
have to worry to much about that, I had tinted windows and no one could see
in anyway, but we could see out.

   She looked over at one of the cars and told me that was her close friend
Eilene and she knew that Eilene was going to get fucked that night because
she had told Sis that she was going to let her boy friend do it to her.

   Sis was excited about her friend getting fucked and losing her
virginity. That was when Sis told me that she wanted to lose her virginity
too and if her boy friend hadn't been suck an ass and showed his true
colors she would have let him fuck her after the prom like Eilene was doing
with her boy friend.

   I couldn't believe the way Sis was talking to me.  We sat there just a
few minutes then Sis pulled my head down and kissed me like a lover.

   "The night isn't over and your still my boy friend for the night like I
told you." She told me.  Well it went from there.

   I pulled her too me and kissed her like a boy friend, not a teenage boy
friend but a full adult boy friend like I was.

   I deliberately forgot that she was my own sister.  I began making love
to her just like she was my girl friend.  As I kissed her, I began
caressing her.  I kissed and caressed her full body, even her firm breasts
and her bare thighs hidden under her prom dress.  She didn't stop me as my
hand slipped up higher and higher until I felt it.  I felt her panty
covered virginal pussy.  She didn't stop me and when I touched her covered
pussy she even scooted down and spread her legs wider and at the same time
pulling my head down to her lips and kissing me with a passion I had not
seen in a long time.

   She moaned deep in her throat as I began lightly rubbing her womanhood,
her sweet virginal pussy.  As I did I felt her hand slip over on to my
thigh and then up until it was grasping my stiff cock through my slacks. 
She squeezed it like she had never touched one before.  She hadn't.  She
had never let a boy touch her and she had never touched them.

   Oh, I wanted to fuck my little sister, but I didn't want an audience.  I
told Sis that I knew a place where we could be alone.  She let me know that
she wanted that now.  She didn't care what her girl friends thought.

   I slowly pulled out of Lovers lane and drove to an area that was even
more romantic than lovers lane.  I had checked things in the area after Sis
had ask me to take her to the prom.  Well I had found this place and not
having seen any tire tracks or sign of anyone being there I figured it was
a good place for future use.  I was sure glad I had.

   I pulled in and parked and Sis flew into my arms.  Now that we were
along it was like Sis let all bars down.  She came into my arms with a
passion I had not even imagined she possessed.

   We kissed and fondled.  I had her dress open and her breasts bare.  I
was fondling them and licking and sucking them while one of my hands was
roaming her bare thighs all of the way up to her panty covered pussy.

   This time her panties didn't stop me.  I rubbed her panties and as I did
I felt her hand grasp my stiff cock again.  I decided to go for broke and I
slipped my finger under her panties and began touching and caressing her
wet sensitive pussy lips.  Sis spread her legs even wider as she moaned and
squeezed my cock.

   She mewed like a kitten when I slowly slipped my finger tip up into her
tight virginal cunt up to its first joint.  Damn was she tight and boy did
her pussy muscles milk my finger.

   I decided I didn't want to take my sister virginity in a car, especially
the back seat like some high school kid.

   I kissed her and told her to wait.  I slowly got out of the car I
reached in the back seat and got a blanket out that I kept there.

   I took it to a well grassed area and spread it out.  I then went over
and opened the door and helped my little sister out, or I should say my
date for the night.  I had until morning to show my date how much I cared
for her.

   I took her to the blanket, and as she stood there I pulled her to me and
kissed her.  As I kissed her I slipped her dress down and let it drop to
the ground.  She was standing there in just her panties.  I reached down
and slowly slipped them down her legs leaving her standing there fully
exposed to my eyes.  Damn she was beautiful in the full moonlight and
bright stars.  I stared at her small firm bare tits and stiff nipples then
down her firm smooth stomach to her hairless pussy.  She had shaven all of
her pussy hair off.

   I lay her down on the blanket then as she watched I slipped my shirt and
my slacks off.  Then as she watched wide eyed, I pulled my shorts down and
for the first time, my little sister saw a man's stiff cock.

   I lay down beside her and took her naked body into my arms and we again
began kissing passionately as our hands roamed over each others naked
bodies.

   I fondled her bare breasts, the slipped my hand down until I was again
touch and caressing her wet sensitive pussy lips.  She spread her legs and
moaned with passion as I worked my finger up into her tight cunt once
again. This time far enough I could feel her tight stretched hymen.  God my
sister was a virgin just like I was sure she was.

   While I was finger fucking her, she rolled onto her back and lay there
with legs wide spread letting me have my way with her.

   Sis reached down and wrapped her soft small hand around my stiff cock.
God did her hand feel good on my stiff cock.  She seemed to just know what
to do, slipping her hand up and down it, then using her finger to coat the
head of my cock with my own precum.  She kissed me even more passionate
with me finger fucking her and her holding and playing with my cock.

   I had to taste her, I just had to taste my sisters virgin juices.  I
moved down her chest, sucking her titties and nipples.  I even bit them
hard enough to leave my teeth prints and I sucked red hickies or kiss marks
on both of them.  She could show her girl friends those.

   Then I kissed my way down her firm flat sensitive stomach until I was
kissing and licking where she had shaved her pussy hair off.  Then I worked
my way on down to her hot wet fully lubricated virgin slit.

   Her body jumped and arched when I licked my tongue up and down her tight
slit tasting her delicious juices.  Oh boy did she ever taste good.  I
found that my little sister also loved having her pussy licked and sucked
on and had orgasm after orgasm just while I licked and sucked her.

   Then it happened, my sister moved and was soon holding my cock right at
her mouth.  I watched as she slowly licked out her tongue and licked it
around my wet cock head.  Her first taste of a man's precum and his cock.

   She licked it clean and then seeing me watching her she smiled and
opening her mouth she slipped it down over my big cock head.  It filled her
mouth but that didn't stop her.  She began fucking her mouth up and down on
it.  I continued licking and sucking on her virginal pussy, slipping my
tongue up inside of her then tongue fucked her as she sucked my cock.  I
licked and sucked my little Sister through two intense orgasms before I
pulled my cock out of her mouth, moved around between her wide spread legs
and began rubbing my cock up and down her tight little slit.  She reached
down, pulled my hand away from my cock and continued rubbing my cock up and
down her own tight hot wet pussy.

   The she guided it to her tight virginal entrance and pulled me to her
until my cock was right against her enterance pushing it way inside.

   She looked at me and told me in a whisper.  "Oh yes, do it, please do
it. Oh yes, put it in me, fuck me, fuck please, oh yes, I want your cock up
inside of me, filling my cunt.  I want you to cum in me, to fill me with
your sperm.  Oh god yes, fuck me."

   Well I just couldn't turn my sister down, not when she held my cock at
her enterance and was telling me to put it in her.

   I just couldn't stop myself and I pushed.  My cock head slipped up into
her virgin cunt.  She grunted with the pain but she didn't cry out any.

   She let out a low moan, Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yes, yes" she moaned.

   I kissed my sister and at the same time I lunged up and felt my big cock
plunge up into her virgin cunt.  I felt it tear her tight hymen and heard
her give out only a short cry at the pain.  The she wrapped her legs around
my waist and held me tight inside of her as she kissed me her tongue
caressing my lips and my own tongue.

   I was soon slipping my cock in and out of her like a well oiled machine.
She was enjoying it just as much as I, using her legs to pull herself up
and my plunging cock, pulling me even deeper side of her.

   We fucked smoothly but slowly, enjoying every exciting minute of it.  I
don't know how long we fucked but things got even more exciting when she
suddenly, cried out, "Oh Oh Oh I'm cumming, I'm cumming, and she pulled my
cock as far up ;inside of her that she could.  She cried out loudly,

   "OOOOOHHHHHHHH GGGGGOOOOODDDDD YYYYYEEEESSSSSS, cum in me, cum in me
fill me with your hot fertile cum.  She cried out.  holding me deep inside
of her.

   I did.  I did fill her with my hot fertile sperm.  Her spasming cunt
muscles milked my hot cum right out of my balls.  They sucked every drop
there out of me into her.

   We lay there, my cock buried deep inside of my own little sisters no
longer virginal pussy her pussy and womb full of my, her own brothers
sperm.

   She lay in my arms seemingly comforted with my arms around her.  She
acted like she was very pleased with what we had just done.

   She didn't quit at just one time.  "Remember, she said softly, you're my
boyfriend, my date all night.  We still have most of the night left for us
to enjoy each other." She told me, then kissed me again.

   I couldn't argue.

   We spent the rest of the night their in the moonlight making love time
after time enjoying each other to the fullest.

   By the early morning light we were both exhausted and were laying their
still naked as the sun came up.  I slowly woke up and stared at my sweet
lovely sister, no longer a virgin, but a full grown knowledgeable young
woman.

   I lay there staring at her beautiful naked body, and marveled at how she
seemed to have matured even over night from the young teenage virgin to a
young woman who was ready for sex of any kind if she decided that was what
she wanted.  I just hoped that she would continue desiring her own big
brother.

   My little sister was much more of a woman that I had ever fantasized
about.

   I couldn't help it.  I went to the car and grabbed the camera I always
kept there and exposed several photo's of my naked, well fuck little sister
with her gapping pussy leaking her brothers white sperm form it.

   Sis didn't even know I exposed the photo's.

   When Sis did finally slowly wake up, she moaned as she stirred.  Oh god,
I feel so exhausted.  but damn am I satisfied.  She said smiling.

   Seeing the sun had come up, she looked at me and said.  "Oh damn it
can't be daylight already, I have to much more I want to do with my date.
That is unless my own big brother is ready to take up teaching showing and
demonstrating where my date of the night stopped showing me.

   Pulled her too me and kissed her.  Well as your big brother, I will be
glad to see to it that your education in this matter continues forever if
that is desired by a certain young lady who is no longer a virgin," I told
her kissing her.

   "I believe that the young sister will want her older brother to keep up
her education for the rest of her life even after she gets married." Sis
said in a whisper as she kissed her big brother back an let him fondle her
small firm breasts.

   As we drove home after spending most of the morning with my cock in
either my sister, tight pussy or her small mouth.

   By the time we got home, we had a story made up about getting home so
late, but when we walked in, and Mom ask how things went.  Sis, told her
beautiful, and that I had saved her evening for her and had been the
perfect date.  In fact had been a perfect date all night long.

   I saw mom look at Sis, then me, then smile.  I had a feeling that mom
knew exactly what had happened.  I don't know it just seems t me that
mothers have a knack for things like that.

   Mom smiled at me with a look of amusement in her sparkling eyes when she
ask me if I was going to keep dating my little sister then the smile of
satisfaction when I told her that planned on "dating" her until she found
someone else, until then I would love and enjoy being my little sisters
older boy friend and date.

   Mom pulled me down and kissed me on the lips flicking her tongue over
them, Then she smiled and told me that "Yes, she believed me about the
success of our date."

   Then she looked at me and told me that she would not be checking my
bedroom to see if I was asleep or not, so what ever I did in my room was
between me and who I was with or what I was doing.  I knew mom was giving
me the green light of Sis to be in my room, Hell for me to take sis into my
bedroom and fuck.  Mom had just told me she would not be looking in or
checking.

   Yes, I knew I was going to enjoy being out of the Army and back home in
my own bedroom with my family, especially my younger sister who seemed to
always need a date for the night, and always had one because of her
brothers love.
