Brenna and Sterling dragged their bags inside the house. They went upstairs standing in front of Brenna's room. "So...!"
"This is where we end the date, Brenna!"
"Weird, right?"
"I know but it's sweet!" Sterling placed his hand on her left cheek as she leaned into his touch. Sterling placed a passionate kiss on her lips. "Have sweet dreams, sis!"
"I will only have dreams about today!"
They chuckled as she noticed something giggling by the corridor. Catherine revealed herself and hopped on Sterling's hip. Sterling held her as she hopped on. "I knew you two would be patching your relationship! To the point, you started kissing, I'm jealous!"
"What? Brenna doesn't kiss you?"
"Not in public!"
"Care to explain why you don't kiss our sweet little sister?" Sterling frowned at Brenna.
"Oh, come on! Just imagine what it would look like if he kissed!"
"Well, my imagination just showed me a wholesome family bonding!"
"It's our breasts! If we kiss, they get crushed and believe me, I don't want some creeps to get any creepy idea!" Then she noticed how Catherine was clinging onto Sterling. "Okay, get off of him! He got a rough day!"
"Oh, please! He has enough strength to hold me. You're just jealous that you couldn't keep your balance!"
"Ladies, don't fight! I can lift you both at the same time, you know!"
Brenna looked at him from top to bottom. She smirked and hopped on his left side waist without any warning. They both held his shoulders by either side and wrapped their legs onto him. Sterling used balanced them both spreading his knees and using this opportunity to feel their ass. "How do you both like this?"
"You're so strong, Sterling!" Catherine kissed his right cheek.
"So, manly!" Brenna did the same on the left side.
"Now, if you two will excuse me, I need to get to the shower!" The sisters got down as Sterling started walking to his room.

That night, Ophelia was wearing her green night dress tying her hair, and at the same time looking her face in the mirror. That's when the knock on her door put a smile on her face. "Come in, sweetie!" Sterling opened the door and entered.
"If it isn't the prettiest mother on the planet!"
"Honey, you're too sweet but keep those compliments for Eva!"
"I can't call her prettiest mother until I knock her up!"
"Don't even joke about it! Your father used to joke about it a lot and then we ended up having Brenna!" She sat on her bed and gestured for him to sit next to her.
Sterling did as his mother said. "Speaking of Eva, Brenna told me about what happened! Are you cool with it?" Ophelia's expression changed. She fiddled with her thumbs. "I know it's strange but we both like Eva."
"Sterling, Brenna should find a partner for herself. She shouldn't be sharing yours."
"Mom, when it comes to relationships, you know how messed up my situation is. I'm having a baby with my ex. I'm dating both my sisters' best friends...casually!"
"Catherine filled me up with the Amber situation. I'm more worried about her than you."
"I've been talking to Catherine a lot. She's going to be alright."
"You know how much expectations she has from a man."
"Mom, I promise you that she will find a good man." Sterling was implying himself but his mother didn't need to know that. "And Brenna and I had a fun day without any interruption. I heard that someone put a good word for her son."
"I just told her how I felt. I'm glad she's warming up to Lisa. Poor girl didn't deserve the hate."
Sterling wrapped his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to his shoulder. "Mom, I'm kind of scared...of becoming a father. I'm afraid I end up being the same as Dad!"
"Your father had his issues. He doesn't own up to his mistakes and he never even shared his problems with me. You're not like that Sterling. I think you have another father figure you can look up to."
"Hunter is hardly a father figure, Mom! He's weird!"
"You're not the first one of my kids to say that but I wasn't talking about Hunter. I was talking about me."
"You?"
"I know you're mama's boy. Your dad's parenting didn't suit so I had to fill the roles of both father and mother to you. I mean you even said it to me it's because of me that you're a gentleman."
"Yeah, that's how you raised me."
"And I've been hearing these compliments from strangers about you which makes one thing clear, honey!" Ophelia got closer to his mouth inches away. "That baby of yours is going to be lucky to have you as a father and I will be there with you to guide you!" She kissed him. Sterling felt her motherly affection and felt better. He was more and more serious about making her happy. The hands were shaking, he wanted to embrace her and take her but that moment he had with her should not end in sex. He pulled away and said.
"Thanks, mom! You're the best!"
He looked back at the bed and then gazed at his mother. "Do you want to share the bed with me, Sterling?"
"I do feel lonely without Lucia by my side."
"I see. You just wanted a replacement for Lucia!"
"I didn't mean..." Sterling panicked.
"I was just kidding. Of course, you can share the bed with me!" They both lay on the bed looking at each other. "Sterling, go to sleep! I can't go to sleep when you look at me like that!"
"I will fall asleep when you do. Did I tell you how lovely your face is right now?"
"You just did!" Ophelia caressed his cheek. "I missed having someone here."
"Mom, when Dad wakes up, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I don't know how to say this...but you know what the doctor said, right?"
"Honey, I'm not comfortable talking about it with my son!"
"Mom, I'm an adult. I don't mind!"
"I do. You're still my little boy, no matter how old you are. Just go to sleep!" Sterling knew what she did but she's still reluctant to admit it. He didn't want to bother her so he closed his eyes. "Good night, sweetie!"
"Good night, mom!"
_______________
The next morning, Ophelia woke up with her left arm on Sterling's crouch. His morning wood was too big it was getting out of his trunks. She rubbed her thumb on it. She knew that she wasn't being observed with Kevin problem solved. Sterling didn't make any sound. So, Ophelia held it in her hand and started stroking it slowly. Sterling didn't wake up because of the exhaustion of the previous day. Ophelia was about to speed up. She exchanged looks between her son's face and cock. 'Fuck it! I'm doing it!' She pressed her thumb underneath the tip as she was stroking. "Mmmnnn...mmmnnn..." Sterling started moaning. He was beginning to feel the effect of his mother. "...Mmm...Eva, faster...stroke it, baby!" Ophelia snapped and realised she could get caught. She pulled his trunks up and went inside the bathroom.
A couple of minutes later, Sterling woke up and realised his erection was throbbing. He heard the noise inside her mother's bathroom. "Mom, I'm awake. I'm going to my room!"
"Sure, honey!"
Sterling yawned as he walked out of the room. Behind the door of the bathroom, Ophelia was sitting as she was resting on her knees. The tap water was running. She got up and looked at herself in the mirror after closing it. 'Am I a bad mother? I want to feel a man's manhood but that's...he shouldn't be burdened with my struggles. My poor boy has had enough of troubles growing up.' Ophelia opened the tap and splashed some water on her face. She then started brushing her teeth.

After breakfast, in the living room, the siblings were chatting. "Catherine, I take that Brenna told you about our plan."
"You come up with great plans, Sterling! You're the best stepbrother ever!"
"Catherine, that's not an expression you should be saying. It has ulterior meanings and we're not step-siblings. We're blood-related."
"I know!" Catherine winked and slightly bit her lower lip. Sterling was afraid that Brenna could see it but she was texting.
"Aliza just texted me back! She's on her way! Eva is going to her place to watch Lisa!"
"My girlfriend is going to watch over my ex who's pregnant with my child! Why does my life keep putting me in this situation."
"Oh, stop worrying! Eva doesn't mind Lisa." Brenna assured him.
"We have a bigger problem!" Catherine crossed her arms and eyes at the kitchen where Ophelia was. "How do we get her out of here?"
"I gave the workers two days' break so that we can move on with the surprise. What if one of you could take her out for shopping?"
"Mom took me out yesterday!" Catherine raised her hand.
"I'm not allowed to shop because of my punishment." Brenna pouted.
"Then who's going to help us?"
"Steeeeeeerling, where are you?" The voice came from the front door. The siblings looked back as Mallory entered with her hands on her hips. "Where is Sterling? Haven't seen him in a while!"
"It's good to see you too, Mallory! Even though you completely ignored me and you're looking for my son. Why do you have an interest in my son anyway?" Ophelia intercepted her in the hallway and started chatting with her. In the living room, Sterling let his sisters know. "We have our distraction!"
____________________
Half an hour later, Mallory was driving Ophelia in his car. Mallory was disappointed because she didn't get what she was looking for instead she was assigned to play a part for the sake of her best friend's happiness. "Thanks for bringing me to shopping, Mallory!"
"Of course! I have a free day and I got ditched so why not spend some time with my bestie!"
"Come to think of it, you came to my house looking for Sterling, right?"
"..." Mallory was focused on the route refusing to move up the conversation because if she were to blurt the secret out her plans with Aliza would be ruined.
"Care to explain why?"
"He....promised to help me out with something...that concerns Aliza, you know as an apology for how I've been treating her all these years."
"Huh? So, nothing else?"
"Yes, I didn't want to take him away from the quality time he gets to spend with his sisters."
"I see. I know how you treat your escorts so you should know if your vagina gets anywhere near him, I will be glad to grill barbecue on it!" Ophelia smiled widely with her eyes closed as Mallory gulped. 'Fuck you, Sterling! I'm in deep trouble because of you!' Mallory thought as she hit the accelerator.

The Johnson siblings were all in the kitchen looking at the recipe on the cutting table. Aliza was just admiring how they wanted to make their mother happy. "How did you get rid of Ophelia anyway? She rarely gets out of the house." Aliza asked.
"Mallory showed up. Sterling asked her to help and surprisingly she accepted it." Catherine answered.
"It's weird. She didn't ask anything in return." Brenna followed.
"Oh, she's getting something out of it." Aliza winked at Sterling. "She would do anything for Ophelia. It's for her peace of mind."
"So this is Risotto alla Milanese?" Brenna asked.
"It's a good thing we found the recipe." Aliza looked at the recipe filled with more emotion. Sterling stepped up and comforted her. "Let's make this day special, shall we? Today we're honouring the life of a wonderful woman named Annabelle, as her grandkids and her daughter we are making her favourite dish."
They all got to work.
They were working as they were following the recipe to make the dish. At the same time, Sterling was checking his texts from Mallory who was updating him about their whereabouts. "Mallory is taking mom to the spa."
"You're building one in the house too, right?" Aliza asked Sterling.
"I thought it would be fun." Sterling checked the time. "Girls, it leaves us more time. We need to slow the process."
"Or we could just pause and talk!" Catherine suggested.
They all looked at each other. They covered everything that they were doing and moved to the living room. Catherine looked at them and pulled out an empty bottle. "We're playing truth or dare! Without Mom here, we can ask spicy questions without her daggers glaring at us!"
"As a responsible adult, I should oppose it but it's been a while since I've had fun with you kids!" Aliza agreed and looked at the other two. Brenna nodded but Sterling was thinking. He took these women's virginity. If it comes to this kind of game, secrets will be revealed. Nonetheless, it's also an opportunity to open up and be honest.
"How about truth or secret?" Sterling raised his hand.
"What's that?" Brenna asked.
"You have to answer the question that was asked or you should reveal a secret that's never been revealed to anyone else."
"So, we don't get to choose if we want truth or secret?" Catherine asked.
"Yep! You get the truth, if you don't want to answer you can reveal the secret."
Brenna was feeling uncomfortable about the rules of the game. She looked at Sterling who gave her an assuring look. She built up her courage and said. "Then let's play!"
"I'm surprised at how much you have changed Catherine. You're impressing me a lot!" Aliza nudged her niece.
"Just because you complimented me doesn't mean I will go easy on you!" Catherine pulled her sleeves which weren't there in her armless top and glared at her.
"We agreed to play because there's no Ophelia's glare, right? Why is she replicating it?"
"Like mother like daughter?" Sterling chuckled.
Catherine placed the bottle on the table. I will start spinning. Whoever's direction it lands on will be my first victim. And that person will get the next spin."
"Sterling, I am beginning to regret playing this. This is not a competitive game, Catherine!" Brenna yelled.
"Every game is a competitive game. You're not just used to them." Catherine grinned and started spinning. It landed on Aliza. "First victim...Aliza!"
"Can we drop the term victim? It feels weird!" Brenna shrugged as Catherine opened her mouth to spell her first question.
"Aliza, did you go to McDonald's with Aliza last week?"
"I take secrets." Aliza panicked and blurted.
"Who refuses to answer a yes or no question? Aliza, you just gave her the answer!"
"I'm sorry! I should have followed the diet regime but Mallory was insisting on trying new things. Plus we can cheat once in a while, right?"
"Aliza, I gave you a perfect body. You should do everything in your power to preserve it. I'm letting it slide...this time only."
Aliza nodded and spun the bottle. It landed on Brenna. They all looked at Brenna with a grin. "Give me your best shot, Aliza!"
"We can dig deep. That's what we've agreed on." Aliza sat back comfortably and asked. "Brenna, what's your favourite sexual position?" This got Sterling interested because of their relationship and how he could pleasure her but surprisingly Catherine was intrigued. "What, Brenna? Are you scared?"
"I'm not answering to that...in front of Sterling! He's a... boy and my...brother!"
"What, Ms Johnson? Are you shy in front of your little brother?" Sterling started mocking her.
"Seriously, Sterling!"
"Unless you want to share a secret, I won't force you!" He backed down and rested his head on his hands as he backed down.
"I...like it...from behind!"
"A-ha...Brenna likes doggy! You're a real B-word!" Catherine started laughing.
"Keep laughing! It's my turn!"
"Fuck! Did I turn the gun pointing at Aliza toward me?"
"Catherine, you're a lifesaver!" Aliza mocked her and noticed the expression on Sterling's face. She could see how much he was enjoying it.
