Mal stared at Eve. Eve stared at Mal.
Mal tapped his fingers anxiously on the restaurant table. Eve toyed with her water glass and the ring of condensation it left behind.
“So… you’re my sister?” Mal asked.
Eve shrugged. “As far as I can tell. We could get a DNA test to be sure, I guess.”
“I mean… you kind of look like me.”
“Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought too, when I first saw a picture of you. We’ve got the same eyes. And cheekbones.”
“And our parents–”
“Never knew them any more than you did. Was kind of hoping they’d be with you, but it wasn’t much hope.”
Mal toyed with his fork, then gave up when he almost sent it clattering to the floor.
“Always wanted to meet them,” he said. “Thought it might be nice.”
“I almost think I’d rather not,” Eve said softly. “I mean, I would in heartbeat if someone offered, but either I’d hate them and I’d be miserable, or I’d love them and I think it might kill me.”
“I get that,” Mal said. “I… god, I have a sister. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I–”
He was interrupted by their waitress arriving with their food. Neither Mal or Eve made any sudden rush to eat, though they both fidgeted with their food, pushing it around their plates.
“I’m glad you’re not an asshole,” Eve said. “I was afraid maybe you would be, and I’d just feel stupid for finding you.”
“Who says I’m not?”
“I say.”
“We just met.”
“Yeah, I know. What can I say, I’m a hopeless romantic.”
Mal frowned. “This can’t be about romance, I–”
“Not that kind. Just, you know, the romance of a big emotional reunion. Long lost family members. That sort of thing.”
“… with your brother?”
“Again, not that kind of romance. I’m hopelessly optimistic, is that better?”
“A little. How optimistic are we talking?”
Eve considered. “Optimistic enough that I went looking for family that had abandoned me for twenty years.”
“Oof.”
“Not blaming you, of course. You didn’t know.”
“I didn’t,” Mal agreed. “But now I feel like maybe I should have been looking too.”
“Probably not. The odds were never very good.”
“Good enough, though.”
Eve smiled crookedly. “Yeah, seems so, huh?”
Mal matched her smile, slightly more bashfully. “So, uh, other than being an orphan and all, how’s your life been?”
Eve laughed and finally started picking at her food. “Just diving right in, are we?”
“Unless you have a better topic of conversation.”
“I, uh, have a somewhat awkward question actually.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah.”
“Well ask it, I guess.”
Eve looked away for a second, then took a deep breath. “This is a hell of an imposition, but… I don’t technically have a place to live currently, and I’m slightly on the broke side. I didn’t really want it to be like this, not when we first met, but could I–”
“Stay with me?”
“Yeah. Just for a bit. Thought I might move to the area, find a job or something. I’d really try to be out of your hair again soon.”
“You… you’re moving here?”
Eve shrank back a little. “Coming on too strong, aren’t I? I knew it. Just… I need to get away from where I was living, and… and near my brother seems like a good a place to try as any.”
Mal shook his head quickly. “Not too strong. I didn’t mean it like that. I… I think it’s kind of exciting. I don’t know how it’ll work, or even if we’ll be able to stand each other, but–”
“I’ve never had a big brother to hate,” Eve said, a teasing quirk gracing her lips. “Could be fun.”
“I’ve never had a pain in the ass little sister either. We… we’re probably gonna be hella dysfunctional, huh?”
“It’s a possibility.”
****
“So… I guess you get the couch,” Mal said. “I’d offer you a guest room if I had one.”
“Haha, yeah,” Eve said. “This’ll be fine. I’m really gonna try and move out again as soon as I can.”
“Sure. Well, uh, I’ll show you the rest of the apartment. You can drop your stuff wherever.”
“Ok.”
Mal led Eve on the short tour that encompassed his living space. There wasn’t much to show, and Eve really only lingered at his bedroom.
“Something interesting?” he asked.
“No, not really. I was just checking for, you know, evidence of girly things.”
“Girly things?”
“Like if you had another girl staying over sometimes.”
“… I don’t have a girlfriend currently. You could have just asked.”
Eve shrugged. “Sure, but it felt awkward.”
“More awkward than this?” Mal asked.
“Well… maybe not. It’s a sister’s prerogative to be nosy though.”
“Am I going to regret this already?”
“Sure hope not.”
They made their way back to the couch. Eve flopped onto it, testing out her temporary bed.
“I’ll let you settle in,” Mal said. “Then–”
“Settle in? I have like two things I want to unpack. Most of the rest is clothes that’ll basically have to stay in my bags for now anyway.”
“Still, though. And I was gonna say I can order some food for later, and… do you want to watch a movie this evening or something?”
Eve smiled. “I do. You don’t have to be nervous about asking. You’re not asking me on a date or anything.”
“I know that. You’re my sister. Which is still weird for me to say out loud.” Mal scratched the back of his head. “I still just really don’t know anything about you. I don’t know what to do with a sibling I only just met today.”
“You could pull my hair and break my toys, I guess. We’ve got years to make up for.”
“What toys? You’re too old for….”
Eve smiled wide.
“… you’ve got a vibrator with you, don’t you?”
“Not just one, but yes.”
“Aaannnd I’m gonna go for a walk.”
“Hey, I wasn’t gonna use them right now! Come back here!”
“Still gonna go for a walk. I’ll bring food with me on the way back.”
“Yeah, well… ok. See you later.”
Eve folded her arms and just sat by herself after Mal left.
“That was weird. I was too weird, right?”
“Yeah, Eve. That was too weird. Don’t bring up your sex toys when first meeting your brother. Classic blunder.”
“Oh shut up, Eve. What do you know?”
“I know not brag about my vibrator collection to someone I just met. Who also is my brother.”
“… I hate you sometimes.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Eve shook her head. “Aaannnd I’m talking to myself already. What a great start.”
****
“Hey, I’m back,” Mal said.
Eve was busy on her laptop, but smiled cautiously at him as he walked in with bags of food in one hand. “Hey. Sorry for being weird earlier.”
“Hm?”
“You know. About the vibrators.”
“Oh. No biggie. How hungry are you? You want to start a movie now and eat later, or get food then start the movie?”
Eve frowned. “What are you talking about ‘no biggie?’ I just scared you out of your own apartment.”
“Ha, no. I’m able to handle the mention of sex toys, thanks.”
“But you–”
“Eve, I did need to leave for a bit, but that was a comedically timed excuse more than anything. I just, like, truly have a sister today, which is new, and you’re living with me now, which is also new.”
“Temporarily,” Eve clarified.
“Sure, temporarily,” Mal conceded. “But still, it was that stuff I needed some time to process. It’s… a lot. It’s good, but it’s a lot.”
“Oh. Well… ok then.”
“You really think I’m that squeamish?”
“Don’t know. Just met you.”
Mal nodded. “True.”
“And I am kind of you sister and all. Some people might have difficulty reconciling that and me having sexual needs.”
Mal scratched his head. “I guess. I mean I don’t know what it’s supposed to feel like, but what with the whole ‘not knowing about you until just recently’ thing, I’m not sure I have much for hangups about that stuff.”
“That kind of makes sense. You’re my brother, but mostly only by blood.”
“Right.”
Eve bit her lip softly. “Do you think it’s too late to be siblings?”
“No. I don’t think it’s ever too late. But the relationship is different than if we’d been raised together, I don’t think there’s any way around that.”
“Yeah.” Even sighed and put her laptop aside so she could curl up with her legs pulled tight to her chest. “Yeah.”
Mal sat down beside her. “If it helps any, I could pull your hair and yell at you to stay out of my room.”
“Heh, it might, actually. What do little sisters do? Tell on you and break your shit?”
“I think little brothers break your shit. Maybe… bug me for rides and roll your eyes at everything I say?”
“Ugh, whatever,” Eve said rolling her eyes dramatically.
“Yeah, exactly.”
Eve started cracking up, and Mal wasn’t far behind.
“I think this is gonna work ok,” Eve said.
“Yeah. Me too. Food?”
“Yes please.”
They ate at opposite ends of the couch while watching a movie. They each glanced at the other from time to time, assessing and evaluating, sometimes just smiling a little.
****
“Ugh, why is it so hard to find a good job?” Eve moaned.
“That’s just life for you,” Mal said.
“I’m gonna end up, like, working fast food or something at this rate,” Eve said.
“Enh, take a little time. You’ve only been at it a week.”
“Yeah, well, you’re the only family I got. I don’t want to start mooching off you too badly.”
“What do you mean start?” Mal teased.
“Hey! Rude. I’ma get a great job and a way better place than you, then we’ll see who’s laughing.”
Mal chuckled and patted Eve’s head on the way by. “That’s the spirit.”
Eve was quiet and stared after Mal. He turned around and blushed slightly at the intensity of her eyes on him.
“What?” he asked.
“You just patted my head.”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“No, I don’t mind. Just… that felt like such a big brother move.”
“Patting your head?”
“Yeah, you know,” Eve said. “Like in an affectionate but also deliberately patronizing way.”
“Huh. Maybe I’m right for the job after all.”
Eve’s lips twitched into half a smile. “Yeah, you might be.”
****
It was a couple weeks later before Eve made any progress on her job search. She came home quite excited one day, eager to share.
“Hey, guess what?”
Mal turned around and gave her a thoughtful gaze. “What?”
“Not even gonna guess?”
“You found a job?”
Eve frowned slightly. “Ok, lucky guess.”
“Well if you didn’t want me to guess, why did you–”
“Guess what kind of job though?”
“… stripping?”
“Ah! You really think I’d do that?”
“I don’t know. Probably not,” Mal said. “I just didn’t want to guess right again and ruin your fun.”
“Well you could have guessed something that made me sound better.”
“Oh, sorry. Carpentry?”
“Carpentry?”
“It’s a solid profession,” Mal said. “Though to be honest, maybe we should dive in to your hangups regarding sex work. It doesn’t have to be stigmatized, you know. And you could pull it off.”
“I’m working part time at a library,” Eve said, giving in. “What’s this about me pulling off being a stripper?”
“Well just saying. Congratulations on the job, also. That sounds like a better than average place to work.”
“That’s what I’m hoping.” Eve smiled slyly. “You think I’m hot.”
“In an objective sort of way, sure.”
“Even though I’m your sister.”
“Only by blood.”
“Haha, you’re going red. You do think I’m hot.”
Mal sighed. “Well this line of teasing has backfired quite nicely.”
“Yeah it has. Oh I’m gonna have such fun with this.”
“Could you not, though?”
Eve batted her eyes. “What’s the matter, bro bro? Too shy around the hot girl now?”
Mal rolled his eyes, stepped closer to Eve, then abruptly reached out and tousled her hair. He got it mussed up a bit before Eve jerked back and covered her head, making a sharp sound of surprise and disapproval in the process.
“Hey!”
“I think it would have been fun growing up together,” Mal said.
“Well obviously,” Eve said. “I’m a delight.”
“And so modest too.”
“Might have been awkward though, you crushing on me all the time when we were kids and stuff. Might have–”
“Last time I ever give you a compliment, I swear.”
Eve grinned, still trying to smooth her hair back out. “I appreciate it though.”
“Uh huh.”
“I guess I could always try to be the sexy librarian. That’s kind of a fun goal for myself.”
“Yeah, you do that,” Mal said. “You’re such a dork.”
“Whatever. You love it.”
****
“I think I might start looking for a place,” Eve said.
Mal looked across the couch at her. “What? Why?”
“What do you mean why? ‘Cause I don’t want to sleep on your couch forever, and I’ve got some money coming in now.”
“You’re still only part time.”
“Yeah, well, I didn’t say the search would be easy. I’m sure you don’t want me hanging around all the time.”
“Why would you say that? I… it’s been nice having you around.”
Eve tilted her head. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. I don’t know, it’s just like… it’s a lot less lonely,” Mal said. “I kind of miss privacy, but there’s a lot less talking to myself around here lately.”
Eve snorted. “You think you miss privacy? You have a room at least.”
“Oh right. Guess this all kinda sucks for you, huh?”
“Nah. I wouldn’t put it that way. I really like having a brother, and I feel like I kinda got to know you pretty well in some ways, but… you know, we’re both adults. We need our space.”
“You can use my room for masturbating if you want.”
“Oh my god! Not what I meant.”
“It’s part of what you meant.”
“Well… yeah, part of it. But just like… I can’t take your room for every occasion I need my space.”
“Enh, we can try it out. I can sleep on the couch sometimes even.”
Eve frowned. “Well you definitely don’t need to do that.”
“It’s not altruistic. It just means I’ll feel better when I start charging you rent.”
“Ha, whatever. I should be paying some rent anyway. You don’t need to take the shitty bed.”
Mal scratched the back of his head. “What if… what if we looked for a bigger place together?”
“What?”
“You know. If you want to.”
“You really want me around that much?”
Mal shrugged. “I don’t know if you’re just teasing, but yeah, I think maybe I do. I know it’s still weird sometimes, and we’re struggling with privacy, and we don’t fully know each other, but… that’s all part of having a sibling, isn’t it?”
“I think so. Maybe.”
“I just think it’d be nice to get more of that.”
Eve tossed her hair. “You may come to regret that. Once you’re stuck with me for real, I might become intolerable.”
“Well fuck it. Then we’ll fight and call each other names and storm off to our rooms to sulk.”
“… fuck you that actually sounds amazing. Are we doing this?”
“I mean maybe.”
“Ok.” Eve chewed her lip, then awkwardly moved closer to Mal. “I’m… not actually super used to people wanting me around long-term.”
Mal put his arm around her. “We’re family.”
“Yeah. Yeah we are, huh?”
****
“This place is actually pretty cute,” Eve said. “And in our price range. Especially with the library giving me more hours. They like me there, apparently.”
“Guess you were right about being the sexy librarian,” Mal said.
“Everyone loves a sexy librarian,” Eve agreed, unperturbed. “I like these two bedrooms on one side of the apartment, and then I think it’s almost the same kitchen and living room space as your place.”
“More counter space though,” Mal said. “Definite win there.”
“Counter space is what does it for you?”
Mal sighed. “A sure sign of being an adult. It actually really does.”
“Ha, big bro’s gettin’ old,” Eve said. “And I’m still young and cute.”
“You work in a library. That’s like the most adult job you could get.”
“Oh that is not true. Young people can work in libraries.”
“Sure, if they’re old souls I guess.”
Eve pouted. “You’re just trying to get a rise out of me.”
“Well duh.”
“That’s not nice.”
“You started it.”
“Did not.”
“Did too.”
“Did not!”
“Did too!”
Eve and Mal glared at each other a moment.
“So you wanna get this place or what?” he asked.
Eve shrugged. “Let’s think about it, but we should definitely start talking about signing something.”
“Yeah, agreed.”
****
“This is so freaking exciting,” Eve said.
“You haven’t got a bed,” Mal said.
“Ok, yes, technically. But I have a room. The bed’s on its way.”
Mal looked around the room that Eve had started setting up. It was fairly bare so far, with a conspicuous hole where she wanted her bed.
“Where are you going to sleep until then?”
“Well there’s still the couch. Or I might just rough it on the floor for a few nights.”
Mal shook his head. “That just seems anti-climactic.”
“I don’t have any better ideas.”
“Well… why don’t you just share my bed.”
“What?”
“Just for a couple nights or whatever.”
“… in your bed. With you.”
“Not in a weird way. You’re my sister.”
Eve quirked an eyebrow. “Only by blood.”
“Oh stop. It was just an idea.”
“It’s a good one, actually. I just think… well I don’t always stay put while I sleep. You should have seen the number of times I rolled off the couch.”
“Really?” Mal asked. “A lot, was it?”
“Well… twice, I think. But it happened, is the point.”
“Haha, ok. Well it’s up to you. I don’t mind either way.”
****
Eve thought about it way too much. She was aware she was overthinking, and aware that she was being kind of a chicken as she padded toward Mal’s door, then stopped and turned around, then repeated the sequence.
He was lying in bed reading when she finally got up the nerve and poked her head in.
“That offer still open?” she asked.
Mal nodded. “Mmhm. I’m almost done a chapter here.”
“Cool. You, uh, you have clothes on under the covers, right?”
Mal snorted. “Yes, Eve. Lots of times I wouldn’t. But I’m not gonna try and, like, trick you into bed with me while I’m naked.”
“Such a good brother.”
Eve stepped closer, hesitating before crawling into bed, but eventually shrugged and just doing it.
“I couldn’t take the couch again,” she said, as though needing to explain herself.
“I get it.”
“If this ends up being too weird, at least I got one night in a real bed out of it.”
“Fair enough.”
“Do you even care?”
Mal put his book aside, but didn’t turn out the bedside light just yet. “I do, actually. I’m just trying to be chill. I haven’t actually, like, slept with someone in a while.”
“You mean just slept?”
“Yeah. Either way, really. I don’t… I struggle with forming close bonds. I feel like I self-sabotage too easily. And I don’t think hookups and stuff are really my thing.”
Eve sank a little lower under the covers. “Find it hard to trust people?”
“Kind of? I think I find it hard to believe that someone’s gonna keep liking me. Like… like I have an expiry date on how long someone enjoys my company.”
“That makes sense.”
“What?”
“No, sorry, not about you. I just meant I feel that way too sometimes. And honestly it’s not even totally unjustified. People can be real assholes sometimes.”
“That’s true.” Mal turned out the light and squirmed awkwardly on his side of the bed, getting comfortable while being careful not to reach across the imaginary middle line between him and Eve. “I hope I don’t seem too clingy sometimes. I’d really just like to keep you in my life for a while.”
“You might be stuck with me, actually. Blood bond and all.”
“Yeah. Family. Every now and then… no.”
“What?”
“I don’t want to say it.”
“Obviously you do,” Eve said. “Or you wouldn’t have started.”
“I mean… ok. Sometimes the thought just pops in my head, no particular rhyme or reason, that I have a sister. And it kind of just makes me smile.”
“Aww. That’s nice.”
“Shut up.”
“I’m not teasing,” Eve insisted. “That’s seriously nice.”
“Ok. Well I’m going to sleep before I embarrass myself any more.”
Mal rolled over on his side, facing away from Eve. She considered for a moment, then rolled close and hugged him from behind.
“I’m happy to have a brother too,” she whispered.
“Thanks. Are you… going to let go?”
“In a minute.”
Eve didn’t want to let go. It felt too good just to hold on, and to cling to her brother.
Mal didn’t say anything about it again. They each just kind of lay there and felt their mutual breathing slow down.
“You still awake?” Eve asked softly.
Mal grunted. “Yeah.”
“Am I keeping you up?”
“No. This is… nice.”
“Good. We could switch if you want though.”
Mal considered. “No,” he eventually decided.
“No? Just no?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“You gonna make me say it?”
“Well I don’t know what you–”
“I’ll probably get hard,” Mal said. “I wouldn’t mean to. It’s just… you know. Lying in bed with a girl. Things happen.”
“I’m your sister.”
“Only by blood.”
“Hmph. Guess I am still a girl, huh?”
“That’s been my understanding.”
“But this is still ok?” Eve asked.
“Yeah. This is good.”
“Ok.”
****
Mal and Eve woke up in their own time the next morning. They remained entangled from the night, basically just the same as they’d gone to sleep.
Neither moved for a while, even when they realized the other was awake too. Any acknowledgement of that fact seemed like it would break a spell of some sort.
“One of us has to move eventually,” Mal whispered.
“I don’t know if that’s true,” Eve mumbled back.
“Well either that or it’ll get real awkward when one of us pees the bed.”
“Awkward for you maybe. You’re the one who’ll get the worst of it either way.”
“That’s how you wanna play this?”
“Not really. But I guess if peeing on you is the only way to establish dominance….”
Mal chuckled, then sighed and pulled out of Eve’s embrace. He sat on the side of the bed for a moment, unmoving.
“I’m less comfy already,” Eve said. “I don’t know if I care for this.”
“Me either.”
“So lay back down for a few minutes.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
Mal sighed. “You know morning wood?”
Eve snorted softly. “I’m aware of it.”
“Well I have some.”
“Haha, really?”
“It’s not that funny.”
“It’s a little funny.”
“It’s just a thing that happens,” Mal stressed.
“I know. And it happened while you were sleeping with your sister,” Eve explained patiently. “That’s the funny part.”
“Coincidence. Nothing more.”
“Still funny though.”
Mal narrowed his eyes, then slowly rotated around until the tent in his boxers faced toward Eve. Eve grinned at the evidence of his erection, then shrieked as he scooted closer to her.
“Still funny?” Mal asked lightly.
“Haha, ew, get that out of my face,” Eve giggled, swatting at her brother.
“I thought you said it was funny.”
“It is! But I don’t want it in my face like that.”
Mal scooted closer again. “Like this?”
Eve squealed and rotated around so she could kick at Mal. He grabbed at her ankles, though he couldn’t manage to grip both at once and hold her still.
The two of them laughed and played up their standoff a little bit longer; Mal trying to shove his erection at Eve, and Eve trying to keep him at a distance. Neither particularly had an advantage, and they more or less had to settle with a stalemate.
“You should go… do your thing,” Eve said. “Whatever it was.”
“I was going to. You insisted I should come back to bed.”
“Not if you’re going to rub your penis all over me.”
“That’s certainly not what I’m going to do,” Mal said.
“I know, because I’m kicking you out of bed.”
“I was only sticking it your face a little. Very different from rubbing it all over you.”
“Oh. My mistake then.” Eve gave Mal a solid shove with her feet, and nearly sent him tumbling off the bed.
Mal laughed and staggered to his feet, off-balance for a moment before finding his footing. He pattered off to the bathroom while Eve just watched him go.
Once alone, and especially once he was in the shower, Mal looked down thoughtfully at his erection. It wasn’t particularly going away on its own just yet. He might have to do something about it. And, in fact, he might really want to do something about it.
His eyes closed and he sighed involuntarily as he wrapped his hand around his cock. It wasn’t just morning wood. He was horny. Really, really horny.
That was kind of a bad sign, in some ways. Eve was his sister. The feeling of her pressed up against him all night shouldn’t be lingering so hard, and definitely shouldn’t make him feel this way.
But it was fine. His body just didn’t know any better. She was warm and feminine, and triggered some automatic reactions in him. That was all. Probably.
While Mal masturbated guiltily in the shower, Eve wasn’t any much better off back in his bed. Almost as soon as he’d left, Eve had her hand down at her panties. She hadn’t quite dared slip under her underwear just yet, but she was definitely feeling the urge.
The problem was she was still lying in his bed, and the faint scent of him was all around her. He lingered on the sheets, and on her body. She just wanted him back with her, cuddling more, being together. She wasn’t even sure if she’d really wanted to fight him off as hard as she had. It had been playful, sure, but if he’d stuck his cock in her face, if she’d just let him….
No, that was bad. Mal was her brother. Only technically, perhaps, but this wasn’t the same as just living with some guy. She couldn’t be just getting horny over him on a whim.
She was horny, though. That wasn’t going to be logicked away.
Eve slipped her fingers under her panties. She could just rub one out. It didn’t have to mean anything. Just like Mal having morning wood. It might not even be related to the sleeping together thing. Might just be weird hormones going off.
She could kind of just explain it away as being the first time she’d slept in a real bed in a while. Sleeping on the couch just wasn’t as conducive to playing with herself.
Eve rubbed herself, idly aware that she was on a timer of sorts. Mal would be back sooner or later, and she needed to be done by then. She didn’t have any great sense of urgency though. She’d hear when the shower turned off, which would give her plenty of warning. She could make herself cum by then.
A while later, Mal finished jerking off in the shower and took his time drying off and getting back to his room. Eve was still lying in his bed, and at first he thought she’d fallen back asleep. She turned her head lazily to face him, indicating that she was, in fact, awake. She just wasn’t in any hurry to move.
“Sleepy this morning or what?” Mal asked.
Eve shrugged. “It’s nice being in a bed again.”
“Even if you have to share it?”
“… I honestly kind of liked that part.”
Mal flushed softly. “Yeah, me too.”
****
Eve hummed to herself as she shelved books that morning. She didn’t intend to be obnoxiously chipper, though in hindsight she most certainly was.
“What’s got you so happy this morning?”
Eve turned around toward Anya, her coworker and someone she’d started to consider something of a friend lately.
“Oh nothing,” Eve said.
“Nothing?”
“Well….”
Anya grinned. “It’s something, isn’t it? Or someone?”
“Maybe.”
Anya grinned wider. “So who are we talking about? A new guy in your life? Or… a new girl?”
Eve shook her head, flustered. “Oh my god, no. It’s not what you think.”
“No? Shit, I’m being too pushy for details, aren’t I?” Anya sighed. “I like this job, but I miss the sheer amount of gossip at my last one.”
“I promise I’d gossip with you if I had some.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. But, like, I just slept with someone and–”
“Ooh!”
“Not like that!” Eve added quickly. “I literally just mean sleep. We slept in the same bed. That’s it.”
“And you’re this happy afterward?”
“It… yeah. Yeah I guess I am.”
“Then you still have my interest,” Anya said. “But I better get back to work for now. If you can possibly think up some ways to describe this all more salaciously, please do feel free.”
Eve rolled her eyes and finished up shelving her cartful of books.
She and Anya continued chatting off and on through the day. Eve deflected Anya to talking about her own love life for a bit, but honestly Eve kind of wanted to discuss her own thing, she just wasn’t super comfortable with letting certain details slip out. Taken in the wrong context, it would probably sound like she wanted to fuck her brother, and she didn’t need that kind of rumour haunting her.
“So you like this mystery guy, yes?” Anya said.
Eve flushed. “Well… yeah. But not in the way you’re implying.”
“Well I don’t understand. How is it you’re sleeping in bed with someone, come to work super happy afterward, and you don’t even–”
“He’s my brother,” Eve finally blurted. She’d wanted to say it anyway, even though she was pretty sure the consequences weren’t worth it.
“He’s your… oh.”
“We just found each other. I never knew him growing up. So, you know, it really wasn’t anything more than just sleeping.”
Anya’s eyes were wide. “Aw, really? That’s… that’s kind of beautiful.”
“It is?”
“Yeah. A long lost brother, and you two are bonding like that. Even sleeping together.”
“Just ’cause my new bed hasn’t arrived yet,” Anya was quick to add.
“Sure, sure. Honestly I kind of feel sometimes like I’d like to be able to just cuddle someone without it having to be a whole thing. Like, you know, usually you have to have sex to get to the good parts.”
Eve tilted her head. “That’s… one way to look at it.”
“Sorry, did that sound super weird when I said it? I feel like it sounded super weird.”
“No, not really. I’m still the girl sleeping with her brother.”
Anya giggled. “Well I might not say it like that if I was you.”
Eve giggled softly too. “Good point. But, um, you don’t actually have to have sex with anyone if you don’t want to.”
Anya nodded. “I know. But, like, I don’t mind it. And like I say, you can’t really get the good stuff if you don’t do it. Platonic relationships don’t involve a lot of cuddling and hand-holding and whispering romantic things to each other.”
“That’s kind of true.”
“And I’m actually with a boy I really like right now. He’s a total sweetie.”
“Well that’s good.”
Anya smiled. “It is. Anyway, if it were me, I think I’d make any excuse to keep snuggling your brother. Sounds like a good thing to me, and it clearly made you happy.”
“It did. You don’t think that’d be weird though?”
“Maybe. But weird isn’t always bad. It’s just something different, and sometimes the way people do things normally isn’t the best, really.”
“True.” Eve sighed. “I have a lot to think about.”
****
“Do you ever tell people about me?” Eve asked.
“About you?” Mal asked. “Of course. You’re my sister. All my friends know about you. You met a couple of them.”
“Oh sure. But, like, that we slept together last night, for instance.”
“No, not that. Why?”
“I might have accidentally told Anya at work today.”
“Accidentally?”
“Not deliberately, I mean.”
“I know what accidentally means,” Mal said. “I mean why would you tell her we slept together?”
“I think I just wanted to tell someone. She knows we didn’t, you know, do anything other than sleep.”
“That’s good.”
“I think she was jealous, actually,” Eve said thoughtfully. “At least a little.”
“… what?”
“We’d need to talk about it more, but I think maybe she doesn’t like sex that much, and the idea of someone to sleep with who doesn’t want sex sounded really good to her.”
“I wouldn’t say I don’t want sex,” Mal said. “That’s–”
“With me?!”
“No! Just generally, I mean. Obviously. You’re my sister.”
Eve shrugged. “Only by blood.”
“Eve!”
“Sorry.”
“If you’re going to make it weird, I’ll have to kick you out of bed.”
Eve pouted. “You wouldn’t kick your own sister out of bed, would you?”
“Try me.”
Mal wasn’t totally sure what was up with Eve, but he was well aware that it was a confusing time in both of their lives. He also very much didn’t want to kick her out of bed, regardless of what he’d said.
Eve came and sat with him on the couch for a while. She picked his arm up, cuddled up to him, then draped his arm back around her. He let it happen, and even pulled her tighter against him as they just sat together.
“I’ll be honest,” Eve said after a while. “I don’t think I’m really looking for a boyfriend or anything these days.”
“Are you just telling me?” Mal asked. “Or… do you mean because of me?”
“The second one.” Eve sighed. “I think Anya’s right about some things. Like… like a lot of what I’d want from a relationship is comfort and companionship and cuddling anyway.”
“And sex?”
“Well yeah, some of that, I guess. But how important is it, really?”
“Depends on who you ask, I think.”
“Fair. How important is it to you?”
Mal bit his lip. “I think I feel awkward answering that question.”
Eve looked at him with big, soft eyes. “Why? Don’t want to talk about sex with your sister?”
“Maybe not while you’re sitting so close.”
“Pff. Big baby.”
“Well how important is it to you then?”
Eve went quiet for a moment until Mal nudged her.
“I said–”
“I heard you,” Eve said. “I… don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“No.”
“Have you never….”
Eve squirmed a bit. “No. Never.”
“Oh.”
“Is that weird?”
“I don’t think so.”
“I just never felt like I wanted to. Like there was someone I loved that way.”
“It, uh, doesn’t have to be about love,” Mal pointed out.
“That’s true, I guess. And honestly there have been a few people I’ve felt attracted to.”
“Sexually?’
Eve shrugged. “They get me horny.”
“That’s a start.”
“But I don’t know. It’s one thing to get horny and think about someone while I’m in bed. It’s–”
“Just thinking?” Mal asked.
“What else?”
“Nothing.”
“… you meant do I masturbate to anyone, didn’t you?”
“Not in so many words.”
Eve narrowed her eyes slightly. “Thought you didn’t want to talk about this with your sister.”
“I am indeed already regretting the question,” Mal said. “If that’s what you’re implying.”
“Uh huh. Anyway, I don’t know. Horniness is one thing. But to actually have sex with someone… I mean there’d have to be a connection, right? Mutual attraction. Trust. Those sorts of things.”
“Again, I think not always.”
“Well for me there would. I… I don’t necessarily get close to people easily.”
“You moved in with me almost immediately,” Mal said. “That was pretty easy.”
“Yeah, well… you’re my brother.”
“Only by blood.”
“It’s more than that now.” Eve looked at Mal. “It’s more than that, right?”
Mal nodded firmly. “Definitely. You’re right. But at the time that was all it was.”
“True. I’m happy with how you turned out.”
“Ha, same.”
****
Eve crawled into bed with Mal again. They didn’t discuss it, she just did it. They lay separately for a while in the dark, not speaking, just thinking.
“You know why I go by Eve?” Eve finally asked.
“… because it’s your name?” Mal hazarded.
“No. Legally it’s Samantha. My middle name is Evelyn.”
“Oh. Hence Eve.”
“Yeah. But also, like… this is gonna sound weird.”
Mal turned his head toward Eve. His eyes had adjusted enough to the dark that he could see the rough outline of her face. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I wouldn’t have even known Eve wasn’t your name if you hadn’t told me just now.”
“I want to tell you.”
“Ok.”
“But….”
Mal rolled toward her and laid his arm across her tummy. “You can say it.”
“Ok,” Eve said in a smaller voice. “You know, like, the famous Eve?”
“The famous–”
“From the bible.”
“Oh. That one.”
“Yeah. Like the first woman, the way that story goes.”
Mal nodded. “Sure. You took her name?”
“Mmhm. But it’s kinda like… like Eve never had any family, right? Just one day there she is, no parents, no siblings, nothing.” Eve shrugged. “It felt right.”
“I can see that,” Mal said. “Though one could argue she had a brother.”
“How could one argue that?”
“Well… if her and Adam were both made by the same person….”
“Oh. Like they were siblings.” Eve chewed on it for a moment, then giggled. “Well that’d be kinda bad. According to the story, they had kids together and everything.”
“I think maybe when it’s just the two of them, they maybe didn’t worry so much about societal pressures and stuff.”
“Is that why siblings don’t have sex? Societal pressure?”
“I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t given it that much thought.”
“That’s fair.” Eve rolled on her side, facing away from Mal. “Your turn to be big spoon, by the way.”
“You’re one hundred percent gonna get morning wood in the butt if we do that.”
“I’ll live with it.”
Mal only hesitated a moment. “Ok.”
Eve sighed contentedly as Mal spooned up behind her. “I like being little spoon, I think.”
“Everyone does. It’s the better spoon.”
“You don’t know that.”
“Maybe not.” Mal wiggled and settled himself more comfortably. “I like that you told me that. About your name and all.”
“You’re the only person I’ve told.”
“Mmm.”
“Mal?”
“Yeah?”
“When we were talking earlier… you’ve had sex before, haven’t you?”
Mal groaned. “You wait until now to bring that up again?”
“Apparently, yes. You don’t have to answer.”
“I… alright. I have a couple times. There was a girl… it didn’t last, let’s just say that. I think I’d be embarrassed to even mention it if you hadn’t already told me you haven’t been with anyone.”
“Why embarrassed?”
“‘Cause I haven’t done much, and even the stuff I did wasn’t good.”
“Why would I care either way?” Eve murmured. “I could be a big ol’ slut and I wouldn’t care what you’d been up to. Makes no difference.”
“Maybe not. That’s those societal pressure popping up again, I guess.”
“Sure. Pesky things, huh?”
“They can be.”
The sibs went quiet for a bit, until Eve slowly smiled and spoke up again.
“Speaking of things popping up….”
Mal sighed. “Well I told you that might happen.”
“You suggested it would be in the morning,” Eve said.
“Yeah, well… apparently not.”
“Are you still going to be able to sleep?”
“I think so. Do you want me to stay on my side of the bed?”
Eve shook her head. “No.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, what, like a little erection is gonna bother me?”
“Little?!”
“Hehe, ok, a huge erection. The biggest erection the world has ever known.”
“You’re not making it better,” Mal said.
“Genuinely it’s the biggest dick I’ve ever had poking me while I’m trying to sleep,” Eve said.
“That’s… ok, enough discussing the size of my penis, thank you.”
“Ok.”
****
Mal was still hard the next morning. It in fact took every little bit of willpower he had not to start grinding on Eve’s butt when he woke up. It would certainly have been a bit of a faux pas, he decided.
Logic dictated he should get up and go jerk off in the shower or something. Logic, unfortunately, was not winning.
Eve finally stirred, and after a little wiggling that made the both of them feel some dangerous things, she hopped out of bed and padded out of the room without a backward glance.
Mal knew he needed to check in with his sister and make sure things were ok, but before that he needed to deal with himself. He yanked the covers down, and his boxers, then wrapped his fist around his cock. It was so very needy this morning, throbbing before he even started stroking it. A function of being wedged against a girl’s ass all night, he supposed.
“Hey, do you–”
Eve stopped short as she darted back into the room. Her and Mal locked eyes on each other, neither daring to move.
“Well that was quick,” Eve finally said.
“Yeah, sorry,” Mal said. “I… I was horny.”
“From me?”
“Yeah, from you.”
“Oh.” Eve sneaked closer and scooted onto the bed on her knees. “You’re so hard.”
“Well… yeah.”
Mal reached for the blanket to pull it back over himself. Eve stopped him.
“Don’t cover up now,” she whispered.
“Oh my god, Eve. Don’t tempt me.”
“Who’s tempting? You were gonna jerk off anyway.”
“I waited until you left the room,” Mal said.
“What, like five seconds after I left?”
“… maybe.”
Eve looked directly into Mal’s eyes. Until then she’d been mostly staring straight at his cock.
“I want to see you do it,” she said softly.
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m horny, I guess. I think I knew what sleeping together again was going to do to me. And I wanted to anyway.”
Mal nodded and moved his hand just a little on his shaft. “I had to jerk off yesterday morning too, right after getting into the shower.”
“… I might have rubbed myself in your bed while you were doing that.”
“Oh my god!”
“I know.” Eve wiggled, bouncing slightly on her knees. “So you gonna do it?”
“This is bad.”
“No one’s pretending it isn’t.”
Mal tried to relax and lie back. His hand had been wrapped around his cock this whole time. He started stroking again while his sister knelt and watched wide-eyed.
Eve watched his fist go up and down, staring intent and curious at the whole process. It was basically what she’d imagined it would look like, what she’d in fact seen in stuff online, but to actually witness it in reality was a whole other thing. She couldn’t believe how turned on she could get just watching a boy jerk himself off.
Well, not just a boy. Her brother. Sisters were most definitely not supposed to encourage their brothers to jerk off while they watched. She was pretty certain of that. Maybe it made a difference that they hadn’t grown up as siblings. Maybe that made it ok. Probably not, though.
Mal watched Eve while she stared at him. The way she bit her lip, clenched her fists, and slowly wiggled around as he jerked off kind of turned him on even more. The things he was thinking weren’t fit to ever be acknowledged, even if they were coming from his own head.
Eve kept scooting closer and closer in barely perceptible increments, though it was pretty obvious she’d moved when she was looming over Mal and his cock.
“Does it feel better when someone else does that?” Eve asked softly.
“It can,” Mal said. “Why?”
Eve shrugged. Mal peered suspiciously at her, but she didn’t immediately move or say anything.
“No one’s actually ever done this for me before,” Mal admitted. “So I guess I’m really not the best person to ask.”
Eve tilted her head, eyes still fixed on his fist pumping up and down. “Oh? Not even that girl you had sex with?”
“Especially not her. She had some weird views on stuff. Religious upbringing, I think. We only could have sex with the lights off, under the covers. I… I don’t think I ever even saw her naked, let alone got her to touch me like this.”
Eve bit her lip again, fingers flexing open and closed. She arrived at a decision and darted her hand to Mal’s cock, pushing him out of the way and wrapping around it instead.
“How’s that feel?” she asked.
Mal gasped. “Eve!”
“What?”
“That’s….”
“Good? Bad?” she suggested helpfully.
“I mean, good, but I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
“Oh that’s easy,” Eve said. “It definitely isn’t a good idea.”
She stroked her hand tentatively up and down. Her brother was so hard. Throbbing, even. And he was half slick from his own precum.
Eve could barely hold still. This was easily the horniest thing she’d ever done, and it was doing things to her already. Extremely warm and squishy kinds of things.
“Does it always feel like this?” Eve asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Your… when you’re hard. Is this what it feels like?”
“Well yeah. That’s basically how it works. It doesn’t really change.”
Eve nodded absently. “That makes sense.”
Mal watched her while she played with him. She was so intent on what she was doing. It was incredibly cute and hot at the same time.
And the feel of her, the way she touched him and stroked him, it was the sort of thing that could drive a boy crazy. Not just the physical sensation, but the sense that she was curious and exploring, enjoying herself while at the same time wanting him to feel good. He wasn’t used to that sort of thing, but he decided it was something he needed in his life.
“That feels really good,” Mal said softly.
Eve blushed and played with her hair as an excuse not to meet his eyes for a moment. She kept her one hand on him the whole time, unwilling to ever let go.
The two of them were locked in this dangerous game of theirs. Eve knew it was her fault, that she’d started it, but it felt a little too out of control now. Maybe it had been right from the start.
“I shouldn’t do it though,” Eve said.
“Yeah, we knew that already.”
“Why did you let me?”
“Let you? Why did you do it?”
“… I wanted to see what it was like.”
Mal nodded. “Same, I think. I haven’t really been thinking any of this through all that clearly.”
“It’s hard to think clearly right now,” Eve said.
“That’s true.”
Mal pulled Eve closer, making her lean down over him. He lifted his head and kissed her.
“You can’t do that!” Eve hissed.
“Why not?”
“I’m your sister!”
“Only by blood.”
“That’s exactly the kind of sister you can’t kiss!”
Mal kissed her again. “I’d take you more seriously if you didn’t jerk me off harder every time I kiss you.”
“… shut up.”
“Ok.”
“And… and kiss me again.”
Mal smiled crookedly. “Of course.”
Eve let herself fall forward, lying half on top of Mal. She kept jerking his cock, holding it tight in her hand. His kisses were irresistible. She could so very easily let them consume her entirely.
Mal was infatuated with the warmth of his sister on top of him. The way she felt against him and wiggled on him, the way she smelled and the way she tasted. Her hand on his cock kept a large part of his attention, as could be expected. Kissing her and holding her close occupied all the remainder of his focus.
The pumping of Eve’s hand eventually made Mal cum. He moaned in orgasmic rapture. She squealed in surprise at the sudden explosion.
“Oh my god,” Eve hissed. “Can you feel that?”
“Of course I can feel that,” Mal groaned. His eyes rolled back as his cum splattered over the both of them.
“You’re pulsing so hard.”
“Mmhm.”
“And you got cum all over me.”
“Sorry.”
“No you’re not.”
Mal chuckled and pulled Eve close for another kiss. “No,” he agreed. “I’m not.”
Eve let herself be wrapped in her brother’s arms and drowned in more and more kisses. She felt so warm and safe with him. Messy from his cum, yes, but so happy and horny that it didn’t bother her. She just wanted his lips and hands on her.
“That felt really good,” Mal said. “Thank you.”
Eve caught his lip between her teeth and nipped playfully at him. “I didn’t do anything.”
“You made me cum.”
“Only accidentally. I just wanted to see what it felt like.”
“With a penis? Or… with me?”
“Both.”
Mal sighed. “It’s too bad you’re my sister. It would be so easy to fall in love with you.”
Eve lifted her head and pushed back some of her mussed hair from her face. “What?”
“Sorry, that was too intense. I meant–”
“No, it’s fine. I get it. I worry that I’m clinging too tight to you some days. You’re the only family I have and… and already I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“You really don’t have to do anything you don’t want to though.”
Eve bit her lip. “I don’t think you need to worry about that,” she murmured.
“Oh yeah? So if I–”
Eve shrieked and jumped away before Mal could enfold her in his arms again. “Stop! I have to get to work. I’ll never get out of bed at this rate.”
“We could call in sick.”
“Don’t tempt me. I need this job or I’ll have to mooch off you again.”
“You could pay me in handjobs.”
“Yeah, you’d like that, huh?”
Mal grinned as Eve flounced out of bed. “You at least want me to try getting you off?”
“No.”
“You sure? You seem kind of worked up.”
“I am,” Eve said, trying not to think about how wet her panties were, and how hot and fluttery she was inside. “But I kind of like it. I haven’t felt quite like this before. I want it to last.”
“You’re stronger than I am, then. I would have needed to jerk off if you hadn’t already done that for me.”
“It’s different. I don’t have a boner poking out everywhere for everyone to see.”
“Yeah, that’s true. Better wear some pants though, or your panties are gonna–”
“Yeah yeah, they’re soaked.” Eve grinned shyly. “You did that to me, you know.”
Mal looked altogether satisfied with himself. “Yeah I did.”
****
Eve was all wrapped up in her own head at work. She moved mostly on auto-pilot, startled far too often even by routine interactions with other people.
“What’s going on with you?” Anya asked.
“Hm? What do you mean?” Eve said.
“What do you think I mean? You’ve been in a daze all day and you keep smiling to yourself when you think no one’s looking.”
Eve shook her head. “That’s… not true.”
“Yes it is. I’ve been bored out of my skull all day and I can’t even get a conversation out of you to ease the pain, so I’ve had nothing to do but observe.” Anya pointed an accusatory finger. “And you, little miss, are happy about something.”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“You don’t have to be sorry. But you could at least share a little. Give me something interesting to think about.”
“I– oh, Mal!”
Anya turned to spot Mal walking in, as Eve had already noticed. Mal waved and started approaching.
“Wait, that’s Mal?” Anya asked. “Your brother?”
Eve nodded happily. “Yeah.”
“Oh. Ok, well now I’m interested.”
“Sorry, you can’t have him.”
“Not why I was interested,” Anya said.
“Why, then?”
“‘Cause of the way your face lit up when you saw him. Almost like you were in love.”
Eve beamed. “Yeah, almost, huh?”
“Hey,” Mal said as he got close enough. “Don’t mean to interrupt.”
“Not at all,” Anya said with an airy wave of her hand.
“What are you doing here?” Eve asked, moving dangerously close to her brother. She wasn’t over how horny he’d made her that morning.
“Thought maybe we’d grab dinner after work?” Mal said. “I know you’re probably not off yet, but–”
“Oh don’t worry about it,” Anya said. “I can finish up on my own. It’s been a slow day.”
“Really?” Eve said. “Thanks.”
“Don’t worry about it. Go have fun.”
“I will.” Eve looked around quickly, then sneaked a kiss from Mal.
Anya’s eyes went comically wide. “Oh my god!”
“That doesn’t usually happen,” Mal said.
“He’s a good brother,” Eve said, as though that explained everything.
“You told me you weren’t doing anything like that,” Anya hissed, looking around much as Eve had a moment ago to make sure no one else was watching.
“We weren’t,” Eve said. “Things changed.” She shrugged. “Plus you would have figured it out sooner or later anyway. Even if I hadn’t been a total ditz today.”
“Could have left it until later,” Mal suggested.
“Pff, why?” Eve said. She squeezed Mal’s hand in hers. “You make me happy.”
Mal blushed. “Well… good.”
“Ok, that’s friggin’ adorable,” Anya said. “And… maybe pretty messed up too. But also… jeez, I don’t know. Just go have a good time, would you?”
“We will,” Eve said firmly.
“And get some good cuddles in,” Anya added.
“Absolutely,” Mal agreed, putting an arm around Eve and gently leading her away.
“See,” Eve said quietly as they got out of earshot. “She thinks we’re adorable.”
“And weird.”
“Well… yeah. But still.”
“Are you sure telling her was a good idea?”
Eve shook her head. “No. But I’m not sure any of this is good idea. I’m not letting that stop me.”
Mal was quiet and thoughtful for a moment. “I think… I think I am sure, actually.”
“No you’re not.”
“Why can’t I be?”
“‘Cause you haven’t been any more sure than I am this whole time.”
Mal nodded and squeezed Eve’s hand gently. “That’s true. But then you kissed me in the library just then, and… and it became very clear to me that you’re the one I want to do stuff like that with.”
Eve eyed Mal sidelong. “The kiss?”
“Mmhm.”
“Not me jerking you off this morning?”
“Well that helped. But no. That was fun and horny, and it was special. But there’s something about kissing you in public.”
“Oh?”
“You know, like, it’s more official.”
“There was nothing official about that,” Eve said.
“Yes there was,” Mal insisted. “It was you very defiantly telling the world around you that this is the boy you want to kiss, and you don’t care who knows it.”
“I mean… I told one person, and I very much care who knows it.”
“Still though. It felt good, and it felt right.”
Eve felt all warm and tingly inside and walked closer to Mal. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. Like I don’t think it matters that you’re my sister. I think you’re who I should be with. I think I knew that anyway, and that kiss really forced me to see it.”
Eve stopped short, and Mal looked at her with sudden concern.
“If that’s ok,” he added belatedly.
“Of course that’s ok, silly,” Eve said. “Except it does matter that I’m your sister. I… I love you because you’re my brother, and because of everything. But being siblings… that’s part of us. No one can take that away. Even if they tried so long ago.”
“You’re right, of course.”
Mal slowly moved in to kiss Eve. She happily stood still except to tilt her head and meet his lips. They were on a public street where anyone could see. It wasn’t overly busy, and probably no one would recognize them, but it was still very exposed.
Eve’s heart beat harder in her chest after the kiss. “We should get dinner, or we’re never gonna get anything done,” she murmured.
“What, you don’t want to stand out here and kiss your brother all night?” Mal teased.
“Mmm, I do want to do that, actually. Which was my whole point about why we have to go now.”
“Oh.”
****
The sibs spent their time at the restaurant paying far more attention to each other than to their food. The dreamy eyes back and forth, the constant smiles and muffled giggles, and the little games of footsie under the table would have been absolutely sickening if they’d had to sit and watch another couple behave that way.
“We’re not gonna be that couple, are we?” Eve asked.
“What couple?”
“You know, the annoyingly lovey-dovey kind.”
“Can’t imagine why you’d think that,” Mal said. “I’m just out for a perfectly normal meal with my sister, such as siblings sometimes do.”
“Pff, right. And the way you’ve been staring at me like you can’t wait for the first opportunity to kiss me again?”
“You know, such as siblings sometimes do.”
Eve cracked up and had to cover her mouth with her hand until she calmed down again. “People are staring,” she hissed.
“So? They don’t know you’re my sister.”
“You keep announcing it every other sentence, if anyone’s paying attention.”
“Do I? Oops.”
“Yeah right, oops. Just wait ’til I get you home.”
Mal beamed wide. “I can’t wait.”
“Mmm, I bet you can’t.”
They were briefly interrupted by their waitress returning. The poor girl seemed more flustered every time she came back, though neither sib was exactly sure how much conversation she’d overheard so far.
“It’s probably just because we’re such a cute couple,” Mal said.
“Yeah. Probably just that,” Eve agreed.
“Not because she knows we’re a brother and sister on a date.”
Eve giggled. “You keep saying it out loud! Everyone’s gonna know at this rate.”
“Maybe I don’t mind.”
“Maybe I don’t either. We’re not that smart sometimes, are we?”
“We might not be. Probably that sibling thing, us being so similar and all.”
Eve bit her lip and gave Mal an exceptionally dreamy gaze. “It’s what makes us special.”
“Speaking of which, do you think us falling for each other is because of being sibs? Like our blood bond or whatever?”
Eve took some pause from the question. “Huh, I don’t know, actually. I think I would have liked you anyway, but also I don’t think we would have gotten to know each other so quickly. And we might not even have ever met.”
“That’s very true.” Mal reached out and took Eve’s hand, running his thumb over her knuckles. “What about other than that?”
Eve glanced both ways and lowered her voice. She looked deep into Mal’s eyes as she spoke. “I think I really like being my big brother’s arms. It makes me feel safe and loved.”
Mal shivered and bit his lip. “I feel safe and loved with my little sister too.”
“Is that blood bond, you think?” Eve asked softly. “Or do we just have issues?”
“It can be both.”
“Oh sure.”
“Eve… if I hold you again like last night….”
Eve smiled as though she knew exactly what Mal hadn’t said. “I think maybe I’m hoping for that.”
“Oh wow.”
“Mmhm.”
“Maybe… maybe we just get out of here then?”
“So you can take me home and do unspeakable things to your sister?”
Mal arched an eyebrow. “Now who’s broadcasting it?”
“I was quiet. No one heard.”
“We should go before we get ourselves in trouble.”
Eve nodded. “Yeah. To not get in trouble. Right.”
****
The sibs arrived home and almost immediately began tearing into each other. Eve clung to Mal, inadvertently dragging him off-balance and slamming herself into the wall. Making out while being pinned against the wall like that kind of worked for her.
“Guess it’s a good thing we came home,” Mal murmured. “You’re really worked up, huh?”
Eve kissed her brother a few more time. “Joke’s on you. I’ve been worked up all day.”
“I would have made you cum this morning.”
“I know. But then I might be able to think things through in a logical manner.”
Mal frowned. “That seems like a good thing to be able to do.”
“Maybe. Not so much when I want to have sex with my brother though.”
“Eve….”
“‘Cause I do, you know. I think maybe I knew I did this morning.”
“It was a really close thing this morning,” Mal agreed softly.
“You think so too, huh?”
“You kidding? Waking up next to you like that, then you playing with me?”
“And the kissing,” Eve said.
“Yeah, that too.”
“So… you wanted to have sex with me?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know what I wanted to do.” Mal kissed Eve again. “I think I know now, though.”
Eve grinned. “Imagine if you hadn’t cummed this morning how bad you’d need it.”
“I don’t know about that. I think when you made me cum… that made me need you way more than if I was just horny all day.”
Eve shrugged. “Difference of opinion then. I need it so bad right now.”
“From me?”
“From you. Of course from you. My brother. There’s no one else like you. Not for me.”
Mal stroked Eve’s cheek, looking deep into her eyes. “My sister….”
“Mmhm!”
“I’m gonna need to start taking your clothes off, I think.”
“Hehe, just what every sister wants to hear.”
“Pff, shut up. It’s what this one wants to hear.”
Eve nodded eagerly and wrapped her arms behind Mal’s neck, pulling their faces close. “You’re right, you know.”
“I know.”
They kissed some more, clinging tightly to each other. Eve then squealed as Mal slipped his hands under her shirt and pushed it up her body.
“Oh wow, you’re actually doing it,” she gasped.
“Of course,” he said.
“You want me naked.”
“Yesss.”
Eve held her breath as she let her brother remove her shirt. Mal looked at her with such need and adoration afterward that she relaxed and pressed herself right back against him.
“I’ll allow it,” Eve declared.
Mal snorted. “Was that even in question?”
“Well… I don’t do this for just anyone, you know.”
“Only me?”
“Mmhm!”
Mal kissed Eve hungrily, trapping her against the wall again for a moment. “You’re nervous,” he accused in a faint whisper.
“Maybe.”
“You don’t need to be. It’s me.”
“That’s why,” Eve said. “I’ve never cared about someone so much. And… and I’ve never needed someone to like me so badly.”
“Eve, I like you. You know that. I… I love you, even. You don’t need to worry.”
Mal caressed her cheek. Eve leaned into his touch, making big, needful eyes at him.
“I’m worried I might be bad at sex,” she said shyly. “I might be… I might be bad at lots of stuff you want to do. I–”
Mal chuckled and ran his hands along Eve’s warm, bare skin. “You think I know what I’m doing?”
“More than I do.”
“Maybe. Maybe a little. Eve… I don’t want you to be good at this. I just want you to be you. And I want to be with you. I don’t care if we don’t even have sex. We don’t have to if you don’t want to.”
“You seem awfully eager for someone who doesn’t care,” Eve said.
“I am. But if you say no, that’s ok.”
“I don’t want to say no, dummy. I just… I’m nervous.”
Mal smiled crookedly. “It’ll just be like this morning,” he said. “When you came in and played with me. You weren’t nervous then, right?”
“Not as much,” Eve admitted. “Not the same. You think maybe we could just start slow like that?”
“How did you think we were going to start?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know what you wanted.”
“Eve, it’s what we both want. It’s not just about me.”
“That’s true.” Eve bit her lip. “Mal… can I take your shirt off now?”
“Why are you even asking?”
Eve grinned shyly and pulled her brother’s shirt off. They came together again, shirtless and needy. Even as they kissed some more, Eve was already fumbling with Mal’s pants.
Mal was quite happy to be stripped first, if that’s what made his sister more comfortable. He gently guided them both in the direction of his bedroom in the process, since that seemed like a good place to end up.
The sibs left a trail of clothes strewn across the floor of their apartment on the way. Their increasing nudity matched their ever-growing need for each other, and certainly fueled the way they pawed at each other and stopped for hotter and sloppier makeouts.
“This does feel better,” Eve murmured around Mal’s lips as her fingers circled around his cock, already so hard in her warm little hand.
“You really like me naked, huh?” Mal teased.
“It’s comforting.”
“Is that what it is?”
“Mmhm.”
“Well you can have me this way whenever you want.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Eve stroked her brother, feeling the assurance and horniness that came from having done it once before.
She still had her panties on, the only bit of clothes between them. Mal kept picking at them, silently asking her permission to remove them as well. Eve rebuffed him gently just for a moment while she summoned the courage, before finally looking straight into his eyes with all the love a little sister could muster.
“You can have me naked whenever you want too,” she said.
The look on Mal’s face was priceless.
Unable to stand even that small moment of intensity, Eve launched herself backward onto the bed. She bounced a couple times as she landed, then deliberately lay with her legs somewhat spread and stared at her brother in silent invitation.
Mal accepted Eve’s proposal. He stepped forward, then leaned down to crawl between her legs.
“How about always?” he said.
“Well maybe not that often.”
“Why not?” Mal asked, kissing Eve on her inner thigh, just above her knee.
“I have to go to work and stuff still.”
“Maybe I’ll send you naked.”
Eve squeaked and kicked her feet petulantly. “Nooo!”
“Maybe I will, though.”
“You wouldn’t do that to me.”
“No, I wouldn’t. But it’s fun to think about.”
Eve wanted to pout, but it was hard to muster the enthusiasm for it when Mal continued to kiss his way up her thighs. She’d never been touched like that before. Never so intimately by someone’s lips.
Mal smiled to himself at the way Eve melted under his advances. He hadn’t been planning anything in particular with his kisses, but he was getting a hell of a reaction from her all the same.
He kissed right up to her panties, even kissing across them and feeling how wet they were on his lips. Eve was gratifyingly soaked already, and her underwear clung sweetly to her pussy.
Eve trembled as Mal pulled her panties down her legs. Her whole body was a mix of nerves, anticipation, and unbelievable eagerness.
“Now what are you going to do with me?” she asked, eyes flashing with barely contained need.
“What do you think?” Mal asked, running his hands up Eve’s bare thighs and admiring the sight of her.
“I don’t know.”
“I think you do.”
Mal kissed back up Eve’s thighs again, right to her pussy. There was no flimsy scrap of clothing in the way this time. Just her. Just his sister.
Eve gasped at the way Mal’s lips caressed her sensitive areas. “I think… I think we’re gonna have sex.”
“Mmm, that’s what I think too.”
“It’s gonna be good, right?”
“I hope so.”
“You could be more reassuring than that.”
Mal smiled up at Eve. “I don’t know how this is gonna go. But everything feels good with you so far, and I kind of love you, so I’m optimistic.”
Eve reached down to ruffle Mal’s hair. “I kind of love you too. And I maybe don’t even care that much if it’s good. I just want to be with you.”
“That I can promise.”
“Good. I need you.”
Mal kissed Eve’s pussy again, then crawled his way up her body, laying a few more kisses on the way.
“How do you need me?” he asked.
“With me. Loving me.” Eve swallowed nervously. “In me.”
“Eve….”
Mal kissed her neck, pressing himself to her. He was so hard and ready for her, needing his sister so very badly.
“Do it,” she whispered.
Eve’s hands found Mal’s cock. She guided him to her pussy, urging him toward their mutual goal.
Mal thrust a little too eagerly a couple times, sliding off Eve’s wet slit in the process. He had to take his time and let her help. Together they got him inside her, slowly sinking in to her hot little pussy.
“Malll,” Eve whined.
“Do you want me to stop?”
“No! Just… you’re in me.”
“Mmhm.”
“We’re connected.”
Mal idly played with Eve’s breasts while luxuriating in the feeling of her pussy around his cock. “Always were.”
Eve giggled. “Yeah, but not like this. Not physically.”
“True. It’s a different feeling. I still like being your brother.”
“Mmm, of course.” Eve wrapped her arms around Mal and pulled him close for a kiss. “This doesn’t change our blood connection.”
“Nothing ever will.”
“That’s right.”
Mal sank deeper into his sister, making her squeal as he filled her up. “You feel so good,” he breathed.
“Thanks,” Eve said shyly.
Eve gasped and lost herself in some new, wonderful sensations as Mal gently moved back and forth in her pussy. She let out an involuntary moan at one point, then made sure to do it more on purpose once she realized it encouraged her brother. She just wanted more and more.
“Is this still ok?” Mal asked.
Eve nodded. “It’s so goooddd.”
“Good, ’cause I’m not sure I can stop.”
“Mmm, never stop.”
Mal chuckled softly. “I have to sometime.”
“Nooo.”
Eve tangled her fingers in Mal’s hair and guided his head where she could kiss him some more. He kept thrusting in her while they made out in rather sloppy and uncoordinated fashion.
It was all quite sloppy and messy, really. Their mouths and tongues were making a mess of each other, and the thrusting of Mal’s cock inside Eve was making some increasingly lewd sounds. She was so incredibly wet, and the harder Mal moved, the more obvious it was on an auditory level.
Eve loved it and needed it. She was helpless under her brother, requiring every little thing she could get from him. She burned and melted for him all at the same time.
Mal was just as hooked and invested. He couldn’t have stopped fucking his sister if he tried. Eve felt so good and perfect, and she devoured his being in the best possible ways. He craved her like nothing else, and became entirely lost in their shared pleasure.
“You’re going to make me cum,” Mal whispered.
Eve bit her lip and nodded at her brother with big, needy eyes. “Ok.”
“You’re sure?”
“Don’t make me beg.”
Mal snorted in amusement, then groaned and buried his face in Eve’s neck. She stroked his hair and cradled him as his thrusts got wilder and less controlled.
Hot cum exploded from Mal’s cock into Eve’s waiting pussy. She gasped at the sudden brand new sensation, then moaned aloud, mixing her sounds of pleasure with his. The two of them were a duet of incomprehensible noises for a time, slowly replaced by more sloppy kissing sounds.
Mal emptied himself in the most satisfying climax of his life, giving all his cum to Eve in the most inappropriately intimate way possible. It felt so perfect and right to cum in her, to join themselves even closer than ever before.
Mal giggled softly as he collapsed on Eve and let her keep stroking him tenderly.
“What’s so funny?” Eve murmured.
“Well… we used to just be connected by blood,” Mal said.
“Hm, so?”
“So now by cum too.”
“Pff, ok. Must make a note you get silly when you cum.”
“Not silly. Just in love.”
Eve blushed furiously and kept cradling Mal so he wouldn’t look at her and notice the flush of her cheeks. “Definitely silly.”
“Haha, ok.”
“But… you can be in love with me if you want. I guess.”
“Oh thank you. Maybe I will.”
“Well good.”
“Ok.”
Eve stroked Mal’s hair some more. “I think you’re supposed to get off me at some point,” she reflected.
“Do you want me to?”
“Not particularly.”
“Then I won’t.”
They lay together for a while, neither moving other than to tenderly touch each other. Mal could easily have fallen asleep atop his naked, loving sister. Eve felt safe and comforted with his body stretched out across hers, like the best kind of weighted blanket.
Mal eventually did roll off, stretching out with a long sigh.
“Thought you weren’t gonna leave me,” Eve pouted.
“You didn’t really want me on top of you forever, did you?” Mal asked.
“Maybe not.” Eve lazily rolled on top of Mal, straddling him and sitting up on his lap, just below his cock. “You’re hard again,” she observed, gently poking at his erection.
“Yeah, that’s why I had to move,” Mal said. “It was either that or… or I’d want to go again.”
Eve smiled crookedly as she moved her pussy closer to rub up on him. “I don’t know why you thought I’d mind that,” she said in a soft, breathy voice.
“Me either, come to think of it.”
“I didn’t cum yet, you know.”
“Sorry. You must be about ready to burst, huh?”
Eve shrugged. “Not really. I kind of like it. This constant need for you, horny all day, no end in sight.”
“I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”
“But it feels so nice.”
“It doesn’t, like, hurt after a while?”
“I can’t get blueballs like you can, you know.”
“Heh, true. Still, you should cum.”
Mal reached for Eve’s pussy. She moaned softly and let him rub around her clit for a moment.
Eve gently moved Mal’s hand away while she grabbed his cock and sank onto it. Once settled, she gave him a deep, intense look and nodded as he put his thumb back on her clit.
“Better with me inside you, huh?” Mal asked.
“Yesss.”
Eve started rocking back and forth a little. She guided Mal’s fingers from time to time while he rubbed her, getting touched exactly where she wanted by her brother.
Mal was absolutely enamoured with the sight of his little sister grinding around on top of him, so naked and horny and needing to cum. He rubbed her clit lovingly, feeling his heart warm with every mewl and moan from her. Every expression of pleasure from her sent thrills through him, and combined with her riding him he was all revved up again.
Eve whimpered as she got close, writhing around uncontrolled and making it difficult for Mal to keep steady contact with her clit. She couldn’t help herself. No matter how good it felt to be aroused and smitten over her brother, she did in fact need a release pretty badly.
She came hard in a flood of emotion and physical delight. It was an amazing and beautiful feeling, but also nearly brought her to tears through the weight of it.
Mal’s hand was on her cheek, brushing back a small amount of wetness from the corner of her eye. She leaned into his touch and let him comfort her.
“Maybe I left that too long,” Eve admitted.
“Well we’ll know for next time.”
“Heh, yeah.” Eve kissed her brother’s palm. “Give me a moment?”
“Of course.”
Mal ran his hands softly over Eve. She still sat astride him, panting faintly and with a sheen of sweat on her now. She looked radiant to him, and he wanted nothing more than to touch her and hold her, to take comfort in each other and to know that everything was ok while they were together.
Or perhaps there was one thing he wanted more than that. When Eve started riding him again, moving her hips in such subtle, sensuous ways, he was immediately lost back in the thrill of their joining. Even smirked shyly at him, knowing exactly what he was feeling.
“You don’t have to,” Mal said.
“Who said anything about having to?” Eve retorted.
Her eyes danced with mischief as she bounced on Mal’s cock. Mal slowly returned an amused look.
“It’s like that, is it?”
She nodded. “I’m not done yet. You can tap out if you want.”
“Pff, not hardly. I… I don’t know if I’m ever going to want to stop.”
“Mmm, same.”
The siblings kept having sex off and on for a long while. They took breaks and tried out new things, but found real difficulty in keeping away from each other. Only eventual exhaustion kept them from going all night.
Eve lay panting next to Mal, gazing tenderly at him. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers until she finally giggled and pulled her hand away again.
“That… that was so good,” Eve said.
“I know. It was amazing,” Mal said.
“You came in me so much.”
“Haha, well you kept making me.”
“Hm, maybe. I guess if we’re in love like this… that’s gonna happen a lot.”
“Yeah, I think maybe it will.” Mal gave her a serious look. “You know… the day you found me is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“Better than today?”
“It’s close, but yes, actually. I could live without sex, even if it would be hard going back now. But I couldn’t go back to living without my sister.”
Eve blushed furiously. “Shut up. That’s… that’s way too cute a thing to say.”
“True though.”
“I know. And I’m glad. I just can’t handle too much romance right now, I think.”
“That wasn’t romantic. It was familial.”
“Well whatever it was,” Eve said, leaning in to kiss Mal on the nose, “it was nice. And don’t worry, you won’t have to worry about living without me. I’m not going anywhere. I don’t want to live without my brother either.” She snuggled in closer. “Now cuddle me good while I try not to melt.”
“Ok.”
Mal wrapped his arms around Eve, pressing their bodies together. Their breathing and heartbeats seemed to merge into one, their blood connection taking over.
Being siblings had brought them together, and it remained an important connection for them. But they had emotional and physical connections now, and those were important too. They didn’t have a traditional family bond, but it was theirs, and it was what they needed in their lives. They were now a brother and sister; happy, in love, and together.
