“Did you want to date me? I thought I was just a sexual fling,” I mused.
“Come on, Jena. Of course not. I don’t know you too well, but if the circumstances weren’t what they are, I would ask you to be my girlfriend.” He sounded sincere.
“So why not ask me to be your girlfriend? We’re not related by blood and I don’t see anything wrong with being your girlfriend.”
“Your dad’s married to my mom, so that makes us siblings, kind of. You can’t date your sibling.”
“That’s just legalities,” I said. We sat at an empty table in the corner of the deck. The waiters came over with some food and drink. I hadn’t realized how hungry I was until the first bite of the appetizer hit my stomach. I ate a little bit more before carrying on with my conversation.
“So, say if we had met and were dating and our parents met through us and fell in love. Are they allowed to get married? Are we going to break off our relationship because our parents decided to fall in love? Or would we all get together and have a group wedding? Just think about it.”
“I would have a group wedding if I had the choice,” he said without hesitation. “The only problem is that we didn’t meet before them, and as of today, we are part of the same family. Isn’t it forbidden for us to be together?”
“By whose definition?” I asked. He was right, and I had to respect the fact that he might feel weird about fucking his little sister and that it may be taboo. But some taboos were not meant to be and this was one of them.
He was silent.
“We don’t have to ever have sex again, if that will make you feel better,” I said, hoping he would not agree to that arrangement.
“That’s not possible. Do you know what it’s taking me to keep my hands to myself and not tear that dress off your body, Jena?
I looked at him. He was so handsome that I knew girls would be falling all over themselves to get into his bed. He was also skilled at making love and that was a definite plus. I couldn’t imagine why he would leave all those girls on his campus and want to hang out with me. It crossed my mind that he might have a girlfriend tucked away at school, waiting for him to come back from summer break. She was probably very pretty.
“So what about your girlfriend?” I asked fearing the worst.
“I’m in between girls.” He giggled.
“What do you mean you’re in between girls?” I laughed at the crazy vison his statement put in my head – him, sandwiched between two naked girls. That might be fun.
“What’s so funny?” he asked with a grin. “Did I say something funny? You seem to laugh a lot to yourself.”
“Just had a mental picture of you sandwiched between two girls.”
He laughed. “You have a very dirty mind, but hey, that’s something I won’t frown at if you’re one of the girls.” We laughed together, loudly, causing heads to turn our way.
“But seriously though, you’re not dating anyone?” I really wanted to know where I stood with him. If he had a girlfriend, then our escapades would remain just that – chance encounters that let us satisfy our urges whenever we felt like it and happened to be together. If he had no one else and wanted us to be together, then we really had to figure out how to break the news to our family that we were sexually and possibly, down the line, romantically involved.
“I broke up with my girlfriend a few months ago and have decided to take time out and find the right girl before dating again. I’m not one for serial dating. Just want to settle down. I know, surprising for a guy to say, right, but some guys really just want to settle down with one girl and call it a day.”
My heart fluttered at the thought of settling down with Nick in an extended relationship. Maybe we could move in together? I was getting ahead of myself. I had only just had sex with Nick a few hours ago at the pool and I was already planning to move in with him? I was probably crazy for planning a future for myself with my new brother. That was pitiful. I needed to get a life.
“So, what was so funny during the ceremony that you were chuckling to yourself? I bet it was something naughty,” Nick asked.
“You know me so well already! Remember, I told you I’d have to kill you if I told you?” I broke into a smile. Hours ago, I would never have even thought about telling him what was on my mind, but right then, it seemed right to let him in on my crazy thoughts.
“Something smutty, right?” He was insistent.
“You really are nosy, aren’t you? Okay, well, during the ceremony, I imagined what my dad and your mom would do in bed tonight.
