Gate Wide Open by M. T. Pope Page B

like she was praying. “I promise I’ll be good.”
    â€œSorry, Diana. You can’t come this time, but I promise that this weekend we’ll go out shopping, just you and me.”
    â€œReally?” she said with a just-got-a-happy-meal smile.
    â€œYep, but I gotta go, okay.” I kissed her on the forehead and made my way out the door, headed for my destination.
    Alex was raking leaves in the front yard. “Hey, Ash. Where are you headed in such a hurry?”
    â€œOut!” I kept my answer short and sweet.
    â€œI know that, Ash. And technically we’re both out, since we’re standing outside.” He stood within hands reach of me with the rake in his hand and a goofy Joker smile.
    I wanted to punch him in his face for being such a smart ass. “Is that all?” I asked, my hand on my hip.
    â€œNo, I just want you to be careful.” He walked up to me and hugged me real tight. “You’re my little sister, and I get worried about you when you come in so late at night.”
    â€œYou be spyin’ on me?”
    â€œWell, not really. I just think we, as brother and sister, need to make sure each other is safe.” He had a sincere look on his face that melted me. “Feel me?”
    â€œYeah, I feel you. I promise I’ll be careful.” And, with that, I walked off toward the bus stop to meet Tony.

    I got in the house at about seven o’clock at night. There were no cars in the driveway, so I knew my parents were out. I walked to the kitchen to get a few things to entertain myself with in my room. I put my ear to the basement door and listened to see if Alex was home. I didn’t hear anything, so I continued on my way to my room.
    I walked into my room and went into my closet for my secret “Sinner Girl” stash, which consisted of R. Kelly’s 12 Play CD, a vibrating rabbit, and a nude picture of Tony. I was all set to go as I stripped down to my birthday suit. I had shaven my pubic hair just like Tony liked it. I put the CD in the CD player and turned it up so that any neighbors that happened to pass by wouldn’t hear my moans of ecstasy. My parents had a reputation as the “quiet family,” and I didn’t want to ruin it with what I was about to do.
    I lay back on my pink silk sheets and spread my legs apart, ready to pleasure myself, my eyes focused on Tony’s picture. I flipped the switch to my Rabbit vibrator to full speed and gently applied it to my clit. I closed my eyes and moaned. The sensation was making my hips lift off the bed. I threw my head back as an orgasm caused me to explode all over my pillow, making my hands sticky.
    But orgasms were like Pringles. I couldn’t have just one. I was going for the put-my-ass-to-sleep orgasm. The stronger, the better.
    I put the vibrator back on my clit and went at it again. My ass was off the bed now, and I felt the explosive energy of another orgasm in my stomach. Twitching and moaning, my eyes were going far back in my head. I was in heaven. “Ah! Ah! Ah!” I was exploding like never before.
    â€œAshley!”
    It took me a minute to get my eyes focused. When I did, I wanted to disappear. Alex was standing in my doorway, his mouth open as wide as my legs. I was mortified. I wanted to know, how long was he standing there?
    â€œOh, shit!” I belted out.
    I still don’t know if it was the orgasm, or seeing the look on Alex’s face. He raced out of the room like a bat out of hell. I didn’t know what to do.
    I knew I had to do something, so I went to get out of bed and ended up falling on my face. The last orgasm must have taken all my strength in my legs, because I could barely get up to my bed again. I managed to pull my housecoat off the end of my bed to cover myself.
    â€œHis ass must’ve been down there ’sleep,” I mumbled.
    I was more mad at myself than at him. I should have put a chair under the doorknob to block
