“Hmmm.” Maggie placed her hand under her chin and looked Lori over.

“Do you think I can borrow some?”

Lori chuckled.

“Hot date with Jasper?”

“I haven’t slept with him yet.” She sat down on the bed.

“I didn’t say that you did. How is it going anyway?”

Maggie grunted then fell backward on Lori’s bed. She threw her arm over her eyes and made noises.

“What’s wrong?”

“Everything, nothing, ah hell, I don’t know.” Maggie pulled her arm away from her eyes and sat up, leaning on her elbow. She played with a strand of fabric on the comforter.

“Jasper is so incredibly sexy and macho and manly and everything I ever wanted in a man and everything I ever feared in one.”

Lori fixed her dress as she sat down on the bed.

She crossed her legs and looked at her sister.

“Tell me about it. Whenever I think about what Charlie, Trevor, and Dante are capable of, being soldiers, I start to panic. I know they won’t hurt me, but then the fear starts up. I just don’t want to screw it all up, so I place some distance between us. Yet, here I am, missing them terribly and I can’t wait to see them and none of the fear matters. I don’t get it.”

“That’s because you’re in love with them.”

“Yes, I am. And you have strong feelings for Jasper, but you’re allowing your own fears and the past to rule your future and your decisions. You can’t keep doing that, Maggie. It’s time to move on and Jasper is a great man. Plus, Ben likes him a bunch.”

Maggie smiled.

“They get along well and you’re right, I like Jasper a lot. Sometimes, when we’re making out, I feel like I should just let him continue and just go with the strong feelings I have, but then Derrick pops into my head. I can’t afford to make any more bad decisions in my life, Lori.”

“Maggie, you’re human. We all make mistakes no matter how hard we try to avoid them. You can’t think like that. You have to focus on what you feel inside here.” Lori covered her chest where her heart was.

“I love you, Lori. I’m so happy for you. The guys are amazing. You’d better get going.”

Lori stood up and looked at herself in the mirror one more time.

“Do you like the dress?” Lori asked.

“I love it and so will the men. Too bad it won’t be on you that long,” Maggie said as she walked toward the doorway.

Maggie!” Lori called after her and Maggie chuckled.

Lori looked at the dress and the blush to her cheeks.

I hope they like it.

Trevor opened the front door and felt his chest tighten and his dick instantly hardened. Lori looked incredible.

“Hey, beautiful,” he stated after staring at her for a few seconds too long because he noticed her lower her eyes as if he wasn’t impressed with her.

Trevor reached for her, wrapping an arm around her waist and moving his other hand under her hair and against her neck before kissing her.

She smelled incredible. The feel of her dainty hands grabbing him tight and rubbing along his waist drove him wild with desire. But he had to calm himself down. The woman was only in the front entryway to their home.
