No more isolation

I felt my body change and saw my mother become more beautiful, yet not much change. I was still sat at the table, Amber stood before me, fearing my judgement, and my mother waited patiently for my response, Ambers plate of food still in hand. I thought of how best to handle this, and then decided to go all the way. I stood up and saw Amber take a step back with a flinch. I moved closer and she stayed rooted in fear. I looked at mother and made my move.

"Please throw those leftovers away, and make Amber fresh food. I need to talk to her alone in the pantry." I saw both beauty's look in shock at me, both displaying identical thoughts that I went crazy.

"B-but I always only get the leftovers." Ashley whispered, her voice still shaken from earlier yet with a spark of hope.

"Yes, like it should be, its what you deserve." Deborah quickly said to Ashley with a disgusted face, then turned to me. "Please dear, I don't think-" I walked to her and consumed her lips with my own. I left my eyes open to see the shock in her eyes that transitioned to acceptance. She began to kiss back, and after a minute, I broke the kiss.

"Do what I say, mommy, and I can... make it up to you." I saw as a massive blush covered her face, and all she could do was nod quickly. I turned to Ashley who looked shocked, and nodded towards the pantry. She hesitated when she saw my nod but then moved to it. I followed her in, turned on the lights, and locked the door behind us. I turned to her and marched up to her, which caused her to tremble and rapidly backtrack.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry b-brother, please, forgive me. I-I will never be rude again, I swear. I never mean to be rude, it-it just comes out and I can't control it and-" She backed up all the way to the wall, when she knew she couldn't get farther away, she turned her head and shut her eyes, her trembling became worse. "P-p-please, I'll learn, I'll learn, I'll-" I stopped her panicking by reaching for her chin and turning her head towards me. Her eyes popped wide open, and her head jerked in surprise. She stopped trembling immediately and I could swear, she also stopped breathing. Her eyes had no fear or terror, or any other emotion besides surprise. Her hand slowly raised up and touched my own and then the part that was touching her, as though she couldn't believe it was possible. "Y-you." She paused and grabbed my hand and pulled, as though to see if it actually was attached to her chin and her eyes somehow got wider when the pull of my hand also pulled her chin. "You are touch... I..." Her brain couldn't process the idea of skin to skin contact after a whole lifetime without it, and I saw as her eyes fluttered and her legs gave out from beneath her, forcing me to quickly catch her.
