INCENTIVE

This really happened.

Names are randomly generated then chosen based on the character. Any similarities to anything I have previously written is coincidental and unintentional. More story, more romance, less sex, so that when the sex happens, it means something. Most importantly, this really happened, just not to me.

Any people, places, names, products or events mentioned are done so without permission or endorsement, this is a work of fiction.

My name is John, I am 21 years old, 6' with short brown hair, light blue eyes, an athletic frame and fully embrace the nerd/dork life. I played sports in school, dated and slept with girls, so I'm not BIG BANG awkward so much as I really enjoy videogames, anime, sci-fi and wrestling. And girls. I really like girls. The list of what I like and enjoy is too long to detail. My parents and aunt and uncle own three gas stations and a bread store here in town. They bought one years ago, another soon after that, the third two years ago, and the bread store last year. My sister Tammy runs the bread store with my aunt, my dad and uncle run the other two gas stations and my mom runs the one I work at. Unlike the big brand, franchise gas stations with big name convenience stores, we're small, private, and family run. There's no corporate stress, no ridiculous rules, and our employees are happy which means they show up for their shift and don't steal.

While all our stores are busy, the one I work at in the center of town is the busiest and can be non-stop at times. Mom usually works mornings, but has a full staff so she can get her manager/owner stuff done. I've worked at this store since I was 16 and done it full time since I graduated. Last year mom made me manager, so I usually work the mid shift or evenings. I've been single for a few weeks since my ex-girlfriend Tara went back to college and preferred to do it single. We were bickering a lot because she doesn't work, hasn't ever had a job, and I work full time. Like mom said, sometimes things just run their course.

So in the mornings especially, the store is busy. Throughout the day as well, at lunch time, after school, when most jobs let out or change shifts, and again around 7pm for some reason. We don't do work lists like the chain and corporate stores. Instead we train our new employees thoroughly, treat them well, and the work gets done. Stocking coolers and shelves, sweeping and mopping, fixing and making food, whatever needs to be done. My point is I have a routine that works for me, and whoever I work with has the flexibility to use their phone, talk to their friends, do their homework, or stream a show, as long as customers are taken care of.

In my case, I play EPIC SEVEN.

If you have a phone or tablet, you should be playing EPIC SEVEN.

I've been paying E7 for years, three I think, maybe 4. I am a co-guild leader, have almost all the heroes, and am obsessed with the game. Why they don't release it on console, I have no idea. Sometimes I can run levels on auto while I get stuff done. Other times require playing and interaction. It's just a fun mobile game.

It's because of EPIC SEVEN that I met Courtney.

It was the Monday night before Halloween. We were steady busy, it was just after 7pm, and I was working with Kyle, a nice woman in her 30's who has worked for us for about 5 years. She readily accepted me when mom promoted me and has become a close friend despite our age difference. Her husband Aiden is a firefighter for the city, and a cool guy. Kyle was doing prep work in our deli while I ran the register. I was playing E7 and ringing people out when Courtney walked in and absolutely blew me away. I didn't know her name yet, just to be clear. In E7 you can earn or buy alternate costumes for your heroes. Sure it's a money grab, but ask the people who avidly play games, skins and add-ons are a must have if you're into a game. Keep laughing, skins for guns in CALL OF DUTY or FORTNITE are a real thing. In E7 one of the main or core heroes is TENEBRIA, a fire based mage who kicks ass. If you build her right, she will carry you through the game if teamed with the right heroes.

The best description aside from Googling her yourself, is long pink hair with bangs, short three quarter black schoolgirl blouse with a gray and black checkered bow, red ribbon here and there, an extremely short micro skirt, gray and black plaid checkered to match the bow, white thigh stockings and brown flats. For an anime video game character, she's cute, sexy and adorable, plus I mentioned she kicks ass.

So just try to imagine a tall, fit girl walks into your store wearing that and takes your breath away? Mine. My breath. She was with two other girls, one more than half naked in what was probably a Playboy bunny costume and the other in a skimpy, skintight, red devil costume. I didn't care. TENEBRIA (or Courtney) stole my heart and mind. She absolutely captivated me. I'm usually cool, clever, witty, and can charm the girls. I get a lot of phone numbers, INSTA contacts and dates with this job. When Courtney and her friends came to the counter she said "Hey" and I sighed. Her blonde half naked bunny friend laughed "He's got it bad babe" and the sexy red devil purred "I could just eat him up". Courtney waved her hand reverse John Cena style in front of my face and asked "You okay?" I sighed "TENEBRIA". Her friends threw some crumpled bills on the counter to pay for their gum, said "Hurry up Court" and left. Courtney stood there smiling and asked "You know who TENEBRIA is?"

I grabbed my phone, I had been running E7 when they came in, so I showed her and she said "Cool". She took my phone from me, her body was model quality, her voice enticing, I was in lust for sure. Courtney checked out my roster, made noise and comments, and shouted "Hold the fuck on" when her friends honked the horn. Before I knew it, Kyle was running the register while Courtney and I looked at my game. She was pressed right up against me, her body was warm, and I was falling fast as she asked "What time do you get off?" I think I sighed "11" and she said "Gotcha". I watched as she minimized my game, added herself to my contacts, sent herself a text, then said "Maybe I'll see you later?" I had nothing to lose so I said "You look amazing and put TENEBRIA to shame". Courtney tilted her head then asked "Are you with anyone?" I shook my head, she blushed, stepped closer, whispered "Then I will see you later" and kissed me on the lips. I floated the next couple of hours and had to let Kyle count down the drawers because I kept making mistakes.

It was quiet, just after 10pm, when Kyle laughed "Babe, I haven't seen you like this ever. Not even when you started sleeping with Tara". I sighed and Kyle said "Man, sucks to be you if she actually comes back, she's got you mesmerized". A few minutes later a gorgeous 5' 10" blonde came in wearing tight black leggings, a TAYLOR SWIFT concert shirt, had her long blonde hair in a ponytail, beautiful blue eyes, and wore colorful New Balance sneakers. She had her phone in one hand, and keys in the other as she kept smiling at me, glancing at me, and sort of browsing. There was... something... familiar about her. Finally she came over to the side end of our counter, motioned for me to come closer, then said "Hey. The petty part of me wanted to see if you flirt with everyone". Courtney. A blonde. A beautiful blue eyed blonde. Wow. Kyle said "He does, he's a flirt, but he'll never admit, you captivated him and he's yours honey, trust me". Courtney laughed, I frowned at Kyle, and she huffed "What? She wouldn't have come back if she wasn't interested. Do I have to teach you everything about women?" As strange as it sounds, I was comfortable with Courtney, she was just as flirty as I am, little touches, blushing and smiles. It was nice.

She showed me her roster and we talked about joining each other's guild, and she decided to join mine. Before I knew it, 11pm came and Kyle hugged me, smiled at Courtney, told her to go easy on me, then left as Ryan got behind the register and started counting cigarettes. My cousin Mike showed up 10 minutes late, as usual, he and Ryan took over, and I stood outside with Courtney by our vehicles. She laughed "Now what?" I said "We can go get something to eat or you can come over and hang out?" Courtney smiled "Let's do both". I asked "Do you have to work tomorrow?" She said "Yeah, but my mom runs the place so I'm good". I smiled and she laughed "Oh, my mom is a doctor. I'm her receptionist". I grinned, Courtney blushed, leaned against me, and purred "Did you just think about naughty receptionists?" I grinned and she asked "So you don't care if we're open and bold?" I said "Courtney, so far you're beautiful, funny, cool and amazing. Be yourself because I liked the TENEBRIA costume, especially that daring skirt, but I really like you". With no warning, Courtney kissed me, parted lips and all. It was a long, warm kiss, and when I started to get hard she eased back blushing and purred "Hmmm".

We kissed again, Courtney rubbed herself against me, then asked "Do you have your own place?" I shook my head, Courtney pouted, said "Me either" then she asked "Are your parents cool?" I nodded and she blushed, flirted with her eyes, then asked "No judgement?" I smiled, asked "Will you go out with me?" Courtney said "Yes" then I said "No judgement". We kissed again, then I said "I have an idea, do you trust me?" Courtney touched my nose then said "Until you give me reason not to". I called mom who answered "Hi honey, how's Courtney?" I laughed "Kyle?" Mom said "Of course, what's up baby?" I said "We're coming home. Do you want to get a pizza or something?" Mom sighed "Your father is playing FORNITE with your uncle while your aunt and I get drunk. Bring your friend and we'll figure something out". Courtney laughed "Wow, cool family huh?" I said "You wouldn't believe me. Mom and dad own this station and two others, plus a bread store". Courtney laughed "Three gas stations and a bread store? Who saw that coming?" I shrugged "It's the only job I've ever had". Courtney sighed "Same" then asked "So... could we stop by my house so I can grab some stuff?"

At Courtney's house, her father was sitting on the porch with her mother and I just stopped. I couldn't believe it. I asked "Doctor Myers?" She had a beer in her hand, tilted her head, then asked "John? You know my daughter?" Courtney's mother was my pediatrician, well had been. I stayed on the porch, met her father Evan, talked about whatever, then Courtney came out with a backpack and said to her mother "I might be late tomorrow". Her mom sighed "Fine, make good choices" and her father laughed. Courtney said "No promises", got into her car, and followed me to my house. We parked, Courtney set her backpack on the hood of my car then held me, kissed me, it was nice. She was practically purring when she said "Don't think I didn't notice you were staring at me the whole time. TENEBRIA costume or not, Jenny and Michelle were half naked and both are super hot but you were focused on me". I smiled "I still am". Courtney rubbed herself against me and purred "That focus is about to pay off".

The look on Courtney's face when we went inside was priceless. Mom and dad were on the couch making out and Uncle Jake had Aunt Karen up against the fridge and they were seriously kissing. Courtney practically hung from me as she panted in my ear "Where's your bedroom?" We were barely inside with my door shut when Courtney jumped me, pulled at my clothes, and panted "Kiss me". We were all over each other, it was exciting and amazing. On the bed, Courtney had her shirt off and was working at my belt and pants when mom came in. She was tipsy, her blouse was open showing us her lacy blue bra, she laughed "Sorry, oh sorry" and closed the door. Courtney stared at the door for a moment, then asked "That just happened?" I moved off her, lay beside her, and she shifted to hold me.

The moment had passed. Courtney was rubbing my chest and said "Don't worry, we'll mess around, that was just... I need a minute". A few minutes of holding each other with occasional kisses went by, then Courtney asked "Are you hungry?" I nodded, so she put her shirt back on, I put mine on, then we went out to find the house quiet and empty. I looked out at the driveway and my uncle's truck was gone, so mom and dad must have gone to bed.

I didn't say they went to sleep.

For someone I had just met a few hours ago, Courtney was easy to be around, fun, and was very affectionate. We started to make sandwiches when she switched it up and a few minutes later we were having salad. It was fun to sit there with both our phones and play EPIC SEVEN while talking, eating and flirting. Neither of us realized it was almost 1am until mom came downstairs, laughed at us and asked if we were going to bed soon. Courtney smiled at mom, who got two water bottles out of the fridge, stared at us for a minute, then lied "Honey, I have a headache. Would you switch with me tomorrow?" Courtney looked at me and asked "Does that mean we'd be off together tomorrow night?" Mom was an amazing actress as she laughed "Well doesn't that work out perfectly" and then she just smiled and went back upstairs. Courtney gave me a look and said "Funny how that worked out". We cleaned up, leaned against the counter kissing, then she held me and asked "Will you be mad if I ask you to wait until tomorrow?" I shook my head and said "No".

Back up in my room, we kissed, Courtney took off her bra and leggings, and slept in her soft pink panties and t-shirt. I slept in my briefs. We kissed some more, talked a little, then Courtney said "I'm glad we met". I sighed, we kissed, then it was morning. My alarm was competing with hers to be sure we got up. Courtney was a wreck, her shirt was rumpled and wrinkled, her hair was everywhere, she was tired, and I sighed "Damn you're beautiful". She stared at me, shook her head, then said "Well babe, if sex wasn't already on the schedule for later, it sure is now". We took separate showers to make sure we had time for breakfast. Courtney came back into my room wrapped in a yellow towel, made sure I saw her drop her clothes into my laundry basket, then said "Now pay attention". I was already mostly dressed in blue pants, socks and underwear, had my work polo shirt in my hands, and I smiled as Courtney dropped the towel in a flourish. My God her body was perfect. Flawless. Heavenly. I was getting hard quickly and she said "I'm not teasing you, I'm giving you incentive". I stood there completely aroused and mesmerized as she slipped on dark green panties, then put on a matching bra.

That's when the weirdest thought came to me.

I think I just found my wife.

As she put on then adjusted her skirt, Courtney asked "Penny for your thoughts?" I shook my head but Courtney moved closer to hold me, kissed me softly, then said "We can talk about anything". I said "It's not that Courtney. If I say it, you might take it wrong and I really like you". Courtney stepped back, kept her eyes on me as we both finished dressing, then said "Just say it, I promise not to get mad or upset". I asked "Are you sure? It's kinda weird". She said "I give you my word that besides texting you and surprising you at lunchtime, you will see me after work and we will finish what we started last night". I chuckled, "Surprise me at lunch?" Courtney laughed "Surprise". I held her, we kissed, then she asked "So what was it? Will you tell me?" I exhaled, closed my eyes, stepped back, then said "I was staring at you, thinking how beautiful and sexy you are, how perfect in so many ways, how happy you make me, and then... I just thought that you would make the perfect wife".

No reaction. No movement. Nothing.

Courtney just stood there as if frozen or stunned.

I put my watch on, my stuff in my pockets, got my phone, then Courtney just said "Yes". I stared at her, she was just standing there, expressionless. I asked "Courtney? Did you just say yes?" She nodded, then asked "Do you want me to bring us something for lunch or will we go somewhere?" I said "Your choice babe". Courtney smiled at me and said "I like it. Babe. Nice". I asked "Are we going to talk about it?" She looked at me and asked "Could we not?" I nodded and she smiled "Thank you". We kissed, kissed again, then she said "I like that we're multidimensional. The fun, the romance, the excitement, and tonight the sex. We make a great couple". I smiled and said "I usually have weekends off unless something happens". Courtney smiled "Awesome. Plan on spending them with me". I smiled, we kissed again, then went downstairs to find dad and Uncle Jake at the table.

I introduced Courtney to them and dad said "Your mother and aunt went to get their hair and nails done" and Courtney laughed "Good to see her headache went away". I poked her, she winked at me, then we got breakfast. Just before they left Uncle Jake asked me "What was that about my sister having a headache?" Courtney said "Nothing. I was confused" but dad said "Helen wanted the lovebirds to have this evening off, It's nothing". They left, we ate, cleaned up, kissed, then just before she drove off Courtney kissed me and said "Don't overthink it. Months from now when we're sure, my answer is yes. Right now it's just excitement and hormones and wanting to lock each other down". I blinked and she said "I feel the same way baby. I want all day every day so yeah". She just got into her car and drove off. Wow.

Work went well, Courtney's blonde friend from last night, the half naked Playboy bunny came in just after I got there. She brought iced coffee and a MILKY WAY to the counter and said "Don't judge me". I grinned, pointed to my WILD CHERRY PEPSI and packaged donuts and she smiled then said "Exactly". She paid, smiled, then said "Treat her right, somehow she's never had her heart broken so she goes all in". I smiled and Jenny said "I didn't tell you this, but she's really into you" and she left. Courtney showed up just before noon, came right up to me and kissed me, then we went to a sub shop close by to eat. By now our conversations came easily, were varied topics, and unlike most new nervous couples, we didn't talk the relationship or sex to death.

I really don't recall ever being this comfortable with a girlfriend.

We were kissing by Courtney's car after eating when I heard "John?" It was my sister Tammy who came over and gushed "Oh my gosh, mom undersold it. She's gorgeous. Courtney right?" They hugged, introduced each other, then Tammy gave me a long hug and whispered "She's perfect". I sighed. They agreed to get together for coffee and exchanged numbers, then Courtney drove me back to the store. I was about to get out of her car when she touched my hand and said "John, wait". She seemed sad and said "I don't know how to tell you this". Suddenly my heart felt heavy and I was worried. Was she breaking up with me? My mind raced to think about what I could have said or done. With a deep sigh, Courtney said "I just... I... I think we should fuck after work".

NEVER. SAW. IT. COMING.

Courtney was laughing and said "Okay, get out, gotta go" and she was still laughing as she drove off. Wow. Just wow. I was about to go inside when I got a text, a scorching naked selfie from Courtney, clearly taken this morning. She followed it with "INCENTIVE". It took some serious concentration and mental strength to get through the afternoon, but a little after 4pm Courtney came into the store with a big smile and asked "Did you get my text?" I stared at her until she blushed then laughed "That's a yes". Mom came out of her small office, smiled at Courtney, then asked "Will the two of you do something for me? It's kind of important". Mom walked us outside and we sat at one of the picnic tables. With a smile that told me she was up to something, mom said "So your father and I were wondering if the two of you would watch the house for us the next couple of days while we're out of town?"

I said "Whatever you need mom, I got you" and Courtney said "We got you". Courtney held my hand and mom smiled then said "I tolerated most of his girlfriends, but I actually like you", Courtney smiled and said "Thank you. He asked me to marry him and I said yes, so I think we're good". Mom narrowed her eyes at me until I asked "What? She's got a couple of facts skewed, but I did say she would be the perfect wife". Mom inhaled then faced Courtney who said "Sorry, I won't make a joke out of it, but I did say yes with the modifier that we drop it for a few months". Mom exhaled "At least". Courtney and I were smiling at each other when mom said "I don't want to jinx anything, but the two of you seem to have been made for each other. When can I expect grandbabies?" I grinned at Courtney who earned extra points for just smiling and saying "I'm thinking 8... maybe 10 years? Yeah, 10 years, does that work for you babe?" I was smiling when mom said "I'm really glad we understand each other".

Courtney's phone sounded, she looked at it, then said "Oohh, my teams are back from dispatch". I said "Oh, I need to check my Heart of Orbis" and we were playing EPIC SEVEN when mom cleared her throat and said "Don't let me interrupt you". I said "We're listening mom" and Courtney said "We are, I promise". Mom sighed "I made my point. You two have the house to yourselves for the next few days, don't burn it down, do your dishes, and let the dog out". Mom went into the store, Courtney and I were putting our phones away to go, and I said "Hold on, we don't have a dog". Courtney blinked then laughed "That was probably her point". I smiled at Courtney and said "We haven't kissed in like an hour". She got wide eyed and said "Oh sorry" as we kissed. It had actually only been a few minutes, but it was cute how she just went with it. I asked as she held me "Are you going to blame stuff on me at any point or start complaining?" Courtney said "No. The only thing I'll blame on you is stuff you do and why would I start complaining? I'm trying to keep you, not push you away".

We were kissing when mom sat back down with a bunch of paperwork and said "It's nice out" then laughed "You realize we don't have a dog?" Courtney said "Sorry about the phones, it was rude". Mom blinked then asked "Are you from another planet or something?" Courtney shook her head then said "Mom says if you treat a man with love and respect, he'll stay.That's what I want". I was about to kiss Courtney when mom said "For the Lord's sake John, do not screw this up, I like her". Dad pulled in and mom smiled. Courtney saw it, winked at me, then asked "Are you really going out of town?" Mom said "We are. Part business and part pleasure" then she said "Hi honey" and got up to hug dad then kiss him. Courtney sighed, we held each other, then dad asked "Why are the two lovebirds still here? I figured they'd be getting to know each other". Courtney grinned as mom said "I've never seen anything like it hun, they just talk and kiss with seemingly no rush at all". Dad said "Funny, that's how we were" but mom coughed and dad said "Sorry, still are". Mom said "That's better. Did you pack or do I have to do everything for you?"

Courtney got off my lap, we said goodbye, then drove to the house. She handed me a backpack and I asked "Is this enough stuff for three days?" Courtney blushed then asked "Will I need a lot of clothes?" I inhaled "I sure hope not". She said "We can go to my house after we eat so I can get work clothes, but we have something important to do first". I was grinning and asked "Can you give me a hint?" Courney blushed then said "I believe you have two hints on your phone and if we ever get inside, I'll give you some more incentive in your bedroom". We grabbed a Pepsi from the fridge, went up to my bedroom, and Courtney locked the door. We kissed then she said "If you're half as excited as I am, maybe we could take our time and enjoy it?" I grinned and Courtney blushed then said "I tried. You're my witness". We stripped like our clothes were on fire and then Courtney scrambled onto the bed, laid back on the pillows, and asked "Take me?" I moved between her legs, said "You have an amazing body".

She purred "Thank you. It's yours now, so take care of it".

Well that was definitely new.

Maybe it was my true, real desire to be with Courtney, maybe it was the build up and excitement, but every bit of my body felt electrified as I moved between her legs. Courtney was touching me, pulling at me, and staring intently at me as I pressed the tip of my seriously hard cock against her wet lips. She wanted me and I really wanted her, but this moment, her laying there beautiful, fit, naked and willing, it was a moment that I would burn into my brain and my memory. It was incentive if there ever was any. Just before I pushed into Courtney, she asked me "Do you promise to love me?" I nodded then said "I'm pretty sure you already know that". She sighed "Yeah" then pulled at me so that I slowly pushed into her tight pussy. Courtney was wet, hot, and very tight, so I eased slowly into her as she panted and moaned. Her body felt like it was vibrating as inch by inch I eased deeper inside her body. Courtney was gasping and panting as her nails gripped my arms and her eyes rolled back.

Then her orgasm hit us like a truck.

Courtney screamed "Oh my fucking God..." and almost shook me off her and the bed. Her thrashing caused me to drive all the way into her and I just began stroking even as Courtney moaned and shook through a very intense orgasm. I didn't exactly count, but I stroked deep into Courtney about 7 or 8 times before she gathered herself then asked "Don't leave me?" I said "Never" past gritted teeth as I started giving Courtney everything I had. Flashes of the last two days filled my brain like a movie. The TENEBRIA outfit, various kisses, her tight leggings, her bra last night, the sexy towel drop this morning, both naked selfies. Maybe a dozen or more mental pictures of Courtney flowed in my mind and then I felt a tingle, my cock throbbed, Courtney gasped "Oh God" and just as she started to writhe and shake, I exploded in a massive, mind blowing eruption. I tasted coconut, saw stars and moons, everything felt amazing, and I kept pumping as I spurted everything I had deep into Courtney's perfect body.

We lay there catching our breath, kissing and sated until Courtney asked "Are you okay babe? Did I kill you?" I kissed Courtney, a long warm kiss, then said "No. It was the best sex I've ever had". Courtney inhaled, gripped me, then asked "Really?" I kissed her lips then said "Really". We kissed for several minutes, then Courtney asked "Want to take a shower?" We did, it was sexy and exciting. We kissed, touched, flirted and teased each other so much that by the time we got out to dry off, Courtney leaned back against the sink and said "I can't take anymore. Fuck me". I drove into Courtney with all my lust and we fucked like there was a timer on us. She had a noisy orgasm and I spurted everything I had into her before we got back into the shower and took a much more subdued one this time. We got dressed, Courtney called Michelle and asked her to meet us for dinner, then asked "Do you care if I invite Jenny too? She thinks you're cute". I gave Courtney a look and she laughed then said "She has a boyfriend and I don't share my toys, so you're good". I grinned then asked "Why were you single?" Courtney shrugged "I'm picky".

She just continues to amaze me.

Dinner was fun, I met Michelle and Jenny's boyfriends, Eddie and Brian respectively, then we all went bowling. It was a great night made better by Courtney being loving, attentive and affectionate... all without being clingy. She really was the perfect girlfriend. I was at the snack bar getting drinks with Eddie when my phone sounded and it was another naked selfie, the third one from Courtney, and again she followed it with "INCENTIVE". It must have been taken earlier today, maybe at her house of God forbid, at her work. Eddie and I carried the drinks back, I held Courtney, kissed her, then said "You're my incentive Courtney. My incentive to treat you well. My incentive to open my heart and love you. My incentive to be a better person so you'll always want me". Her friends gushed "AWWW" as Courtney stared into my eyes, sighed, then said "I love you". Three days or three years, it didn't matter at that moment as I kissed Courtney warmly, romantically, then said "I love you".

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2023.

This story could continue if requested, but this is a great ending spot.
