The First Time I Noticed Ch. 04

"Do they?" I said, "Do they really?" I stroked my sister's cheeks a little more firmly.

"They do," she said, "but let's go on that paddle."

"Okay, I said, and we both finished up in the shower. My sister stepped out and toweled herself dry while I enjoyed the view. When she stepped out of the bathroom to go get dressed, I dried off and went to find a pair of swim trunks, which was all I planned to wear in the canoe. After putting them on, I went outside to raid the shed for life jackets and paddles. It only took a moment to find what I needed. Dad liked to keep things well organized and at least as far as his things were concerned, I followed suit. I stepped out, two life jackets and three paddles in hand - my dad taught me to always carry a spare - and froze.

Walking to the dock from the cabin was Alexis, dressed again in the same orange bikini she was wearing in the morning. The one she was wearing the first time I noticed how incredibly beautiful and sexy she was. The one she was wearing the first time I noticed that she had a perfect ass. My sister's perfect ass. Damn.

"Hey," I said, unable to formulate anything more profound to say. At least my jaw wasn't hanging open.

"Hey," she said, smiling. "You ready?"

"Ah, yeah," I said, composing myself, "got our stuff right here." I handed her life jacket to her.

"Do I really have to wear this?" she asked, making a face at the life jacket. One had to admit it was less than stylish.

"Yes you do," I said. "You know Dad would never let us on a boat again if he saw us on the water without one."

"What?" she said, incredulous. "We just had sex right over there," she continued, pointing to the bench, "and you're worried about someone seeing us without fucking life jackets?"

"Ah..."

"You gotta be kidding me, bro."

"Well..."

"Fucking, right out in the open, or life jackets," she said. "Let's just think for a second about which would be worse if Dad found out."

I had to admit it was ridiculous, but I wasn't about to give up on this argument.

"Okay, okay," I said. "You're right, it would definitely be way worse if someone saw us fucking in front of the cabin."

"Now you're starting to make sense."

"But," I said, "there's the whole...drowning...thing."

"Huh?"

"Well," I said, "canoes are tippy, and I don't want you to drown." She looked annoyed. I imagined that she thought I was treating like she was still ten years old out on the lake with daddy.

"I am NOT going to..."

Then she just stopped and looked at me. Her expression changed and she threw herself at me and planted an unexpected kiss on my lips.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"You really do love me, don't you?" she said.

"Well, yeah, of course I-"

"You're so sweet," she said, landing another kiss. "I'll wear it, but you're going to suffer because it covers up my - what did you call it - my 'awesome rack.' "

With that, she kissed me again and turned and bounced down to the end of the dock, her ass swaying hypnotically as she skipped along. I followed down the dock to the canoe and we settled in.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Ready!"

I shoved away from the dock and started to paddle, guiding us out across the cove to the main part of the lake. Turning right we went east, where there were other bays and coves to explore. Further along was a river inlet where a small cascade carried water from an upstream lake. The breeze had died down to a whisper over the afternoon and the lake was calm. On the shoreline stood a small grove of aspens, their shimmering leaves taking on a hint of gold in the evening sun. Behind them the land rose to a ridge line, covered in an old growth stand of stately eastern white pines.

On entering the third cove east of our own, we were surprised to find a pair of loons swimming out of the grasses along the shoreline. The cove was isolated and undeveloped. The closest cabin was ours and nothing bigger than a canoe could navigate the shallow water. It was likely that they were building their nest on the shore, and we left to avoid disturbing them, but with the hope of hearing their songs later that night.

With the sun dropping near the treetops, we turned for home, paddling into the setting sun. Except for a moment of excitement when we first saw the loons, Alexis had been unusually quiet and I was wondering what was on her mind when she set her paddle down in front of her and turned to me.

"Thanks, Ian," she said.

"For what?"

"For being here with me," she said. It's so beautiful here. I can't imagine a better place to be, or a better person to be with than my sexy brother."

I was sexy.

"I love you, Lex."

"I love you, too," she said, and we paddled into the sunset, turning at last back into our private cove.

Shadows covered the clearing around the cabin, and we quickly stowed the canoe and our gear before darkness fell upon us. I look Lexi's hand and we walked quietly back to the cabin.

Though small, the cabin was not without its amenities. Dad had installed satellite TV and internet. There was no cell service, but we had Wi-Fi and a landline. We had a well stocked pantry and refrigerator, and a fully supplied liquor cabinet complete with my father's permission to help ourselves.

"What are you in the mood for?" I asked.

"You."

"Really?" I asked, not sure if I was ready for more.

"Kidding," she said. "How about a move?"

"Sounds good," I said, maybe just a little disappointed that she was kidding. "What would you like? Comedy? Romance? Action? Eye candy?"

"Action," she said, "but smart action. And eye candy."

"Hmm...," I said, putting on my best London accent. "Difficult. Very difficult."

"What are you the sorting hat now?"

"No," I said, "and we don't have any of the Potter movies anyway."

"Dang," she said, "that's too bad. Neville turned out cute in the last one."

"Neville?" I said. "Pudgy little Neville. Never though about him. Now, Emma Watson, on the other hand..."

"Yeah," said Alexis, "she turned out gorgeous, but seriously, pudgy little Matthew Lewis turned out to be the hottest of the Potter guys. Even more than Draco, and you know how I like Tom Felton."

We had grown up with the Potter franchise and enjoyed all of the books and movies. I resumed my search for something with smart action and eye candy for Alexis.

"Inception?"

"Ooh," she said. "Leo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy. Smart action. I like it. Not much eye candy for you, though."

"I do have kind of an Ellen Page thing," I said. I didn't really have that much of an Ellen Page thing but I didn't want Alexis to feel I was being left out.

"Really?" she said. "She doesn't seem like your type. Kind of boyish."

"Maybe," I said. "Then again, she's petite, delicate features, small boobs. Cute little ass. Brunette. Remind you of anyone?" Alexis was sexier by a mile, but it seemed like a nice list.

"Ah...okay then." She seemed to pause to think that over. "Wait. Isn't she lesbian?"

"And that's supposed to make her less hot, somehow? Yeah, imagining her in some girl on girl action is such a turn off."

"I see your point," she said. "She's still a little shapeless though."

"I'll give you that," I said. "especially compared to you. There's also Marion Cotillard."

"Oh yeah," she said. "Mal. She's beautiful. Bit old for you though."

"I can indulge my cougar fantasy."

"You have a cougar fantasy?" she said.

I got as far as thinking about Carla Gugino and Sofia Vergara and then said, "I might."

"Interesting," she said. "I'm learning new things about you."

"Anyway," I said, "I have all the eye candy I need right here in the room."

She opened her mouth to speak and closed it again. Then she said "Thanks, Ian."

We both stood there for a moment, smiling at each other, when finally she said "jammie time!" I watched my sister's ass sway back and forth as she trotted off to the bedroom.

"Sexy jammies?" I called to her.

"You'll see!" she yelled back.

"I'll put the movie in and make popcorn," I said. She came back out while I was waiting for the popcorn to finish popping, wearing a pair of blue boyshort panties and a crop top t-shirt. She struck a pose for me - one hand on her hip and the other absent-mindedly playing with her t-shirt.

"Well," she said, "sexy?"

I stood, gawking, and nearly burned the popcorn. "Uh huh," I said.

"How's the back side?" she asked, turning around and arching her back. She reached down under her butt and cupped both cheeks, bouncing them a little. God, so firm. I wanted to nibble on both of them. She had cut the shirt down the back and tied a bunch of little knots in it, but I barely noticed because - damn - that ass.

"Nice, um, shirt," I said.

"Thanks," she said, and sashayed over to the sofa. "Coming?"

"Yeah," I said, returning to reality. "Want anything to drink?"

"No thanks," she said. "I had those beers earlier. I think I'll wait a while."

"Okay," I said. "Just give me a minute to change into my pajamas."

"You have pajamas?"

"Not exactly." I grabbed my bag and took it into the bedroom. Two could play at the sexy pajama game. I didn't really have any pajamas, so I just doffed the swim trunks I had been wearing and pulled on a pair of boxers and a t-shirt. It wasn't especially original, but it was comfortable.

"You stole my idea," said Alexis as I stepped back into the main room.

"Yeah," I said, "but it looks better on you."

"Not to my eyes," she said, smiling. My sister liked my sexy pajamas.

I joined her on the sofa. "Got the remote?"

"Right here," she said, and pushed play. As the movie started, we snuggled together, and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. It felt amazing to just be so close to her - to feel the warmth of her body against mine. For the first time that day, I was actually able to be in contact with my sister without experiencing an overwhelming need for sex. The four orgasms I'd already had that day might have had something to do with it, but even with that I had felt myself getting engorged when she did her little show in her t-shirt and panties. Now I just wanted to be next to her - to touch her. How had I gone from completely oblivious to head over heels in love with my beautiful sister in less than a day?

"Earth to Ian!" she said, elbowing me in the ribs.

"Huh?" I said.

"Can I have the popcorn, please?" she said.

"Sure," I said, rubbing my ribs. "All you had to do is ask."

"I did," she said. "Three times. You were off in your own little world again."

"Sorry," I said, passing the popcorn. "Just daydreaming."

"What about?" she said, setting the bowl back down.

"You, of course," I said. "I love you, you know." I looked into her eyes and saw them looking back and knew that she did know, and knew that she loved me, too. I gently touched her face, lightly stroking her cheek. "It's as if you were made just for me."

"Kiss me," she said, and I did. Pulling her close, I pressed my lips into hers, feeling her warm, wet lips against mine. My tongue explored her, tasting her lips as her tongue came out to greet me. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me close. I could feel the heat from her body, feel her heart beating in her chest. She broke our kiss and hugged me tightly, melting into me. Her chest rose and fell, and I could feel the zephyr of her soft, light breathing.

"I love you so much, Ian," she whispered. "I can't begin to express it."

"It's overwhelming," I said. "This love, it's just filled me completely, flowed from me into you."

"Like we're one person," she said.

"Yes," I said, and we kissed again, tasting each other, our very souls connected by our lips, our tongues. The joy of our connection radiated through our bodies, filling us both with happiness and love. At last, she settled into me again. I could feel her body relax and melt into mine. These kisses! I had kissed girls before and it had been erotic, even electric, but with Alexis it was as if we had tapped an endless wellspring of pure love.

"Mmm," she said softly. "That was nice."

"Yeah."

"Opening credits are done," she said. "Let's watch the movie."

It's as if I had stepped out of time and then returned. It had lasted only a moment, but our connection felt eternal. Gradually the world returned and we nestled together to watch the movie, content to just be together and hoping it would never end. Alexis nuzzled closer and drew her legs up.

"Warm enough?"

"My legs are a little chilly," she said. Grabbing a throw from the back of the sofa, I covered us both.

"That's better," she said. "Popcorn?"

"Yeah," I said, taking it back from her. "Thanks."

We turned our attention back to the movie. We had both seen it more than once, but there were enough twists and turns in the plot that we still found things we had missed each time we watched it. Before long, we were both engaged in the story and Alexis got her chance to indulge her crush on Leonardo DiCaprio.

Just as they were about to assault the mountain fortress, Alexis asked me to pause the movie.

"Pee break," she said.

"Okay," I said, getting up to head for the kitchen while she went to the bathroom. "Want anything to drink when you get back?"

"What do we have?"

"There's a few more beers in there," I said, "some Diet Coke, some kind of fizzy water, and a pitcher of tea."

"Where'd the tea come from?"

"I made it earlier," I said, "I thought you might want some later."

"Got any ice?"

"Naturally," I said.

"Cool," she said, "iced tea for me then."

"Okay," I said.

"Gotta go," she said, and ran off to the bathroom. I filled a glass with ice and poured her tea, then grabbed a bottle of water for myself.

"Want any more popcorn?" I called to her.

"No," she yelled back, "I'm good."

A moment later she returned.

"Ready to start the movie?" she said.

"Not just yet," I said, "you, ah, gave me an idea when you went to the bathroom."

"An idea?" she said.

"I have to pee, dopey."

"Oh, sorry," she said, laughing. As I walked to the bathroom she stopped me.

"Hey Ian," she said.

"Yeah?"

"Can I, ah..." she said, and then just stopped.

"Yeah, Lex, you can 'ah' all you want. I gotta go."

"Wait!" she said. "I, um, wanted to ask you something, but it's kind of weird."

"You're kidding, right?" I said. "So far today I've had sex with my own sister repeatedly, and fallen in love with you."

"I love you too."

"Thanks," I said, "but now you're yammering on about something 'kind of weird.' What could possibly be 'kind of weird' after today?"

"Trust me," she said, "even today this is kind of weird. Promise not to freak out on me?"

"Of course I promise," I said, "and you can ask or say or do anything and I give my solemn word not to freak out or think any less of you no matter what it is."

"Okay," she said, "because..."

"Just say it, Lex."

"Can I watch?"

"Huh? Watch what?"

"Watch you pee?" she said. She got this weird, expectant look on her face, then looked down again, unable to make eye contact.

"Ah...", I said, and just stood there, slack jawed. She was right, even today this was kind of weird.

"I knew you'd think I was nuts," she said. It was as if all the air had gone out of her.

"What?" I said, confused. "No, no Lex. I was just, ah, I just didn't see that coming."

She seemed a little relieved.

"But seriously?" I said. "You actually want to watch me pee? I ah, didn't know you were into - you know - water sports."

"Oh!" she said, and she covered her mouth, her eyes popping. "God no," she said, a smiling forming on her lips. "Nothing like that. I just...well...I've never actually seen a guy do it and I was...um...curious."

"Alright then," I said, "let's go."

"Yay!" she said, throwing her hands in the air and skipping over to me. "Let's go!"

We went in the bathroom. I stepped in front of the toilet and lifted the seat as she tucked in behind me, peering around my arm and down to my boxers. I unceremoniously pulled out my cock and took aim, and then, nothing.

"Go ahead," she said, "I'm watching."

"Yeah," I said, "it's...ah...not coming out just yet."

"Why not?"

"Ah, performance anxiety?" I said.

"Huh?" she said. "It's not like you have to get it up to pee."

"I know," I said, "but I've never done this either."

"You've never peed before?" she said, confused.

"Of course I've peed before," I said, "I just haven't peed with someone watching since Dad put Cheerios in the toilet bowl for me to aim at. Needless to say I've never peed with my sister watching, either."

"Need some Cheerios?"

"No, I don't need any fucking Cheerios, smartass!" I said, laughing.

"Need me to leave?"

"No," I said, "it's okay. I just, ah, needed a moment to get my head around this, 'cause you're just full of surprises today." Finally relaxed, I let go.

"Yay!" she said, giggling.

"Never laugh in the presence of a man's cock, sis," I said.

"Sorry," she said, "I wasn't laughing at you, 'cause that's a nice cock you have there."

"Kidding," I said. "but I have to admit, this is the weirdest moment yet of the weirdest day of my life."

After a moment, I was finished.

"Thanks," she said. "Call me freaky, but I always wanted to see that."

"You're freaky," I said, laughing as I washed up. "Curiosity satisfied?"

"Yup," she said with a goofy grin on her face. "Ready for the rest of the movie?"

"Sure," I said, as if having your sister watch you take a leak was just a normal, everyday thing. I was living in some kind of alternate reality, a Twilight Zone world, and wondering when I was going to wake up. Could Inception be any more appropriate for a day when I was living in some kind of crazy dream?

We snuggled together under our blanket again and watched the rest of the movie. Eventually, we saw Cobb's top spinning as the credits started to roll, and our movie night on the sofa was done.

"That was fun," said Alexis, "but I'm kind of whipped. You wore me out today."

"Good," I said. "You should get some rest so I can wear you out tomorrow, too."

"Coming to bed, then?" she said. Oddly enough, I didn't see that coming either. In the recesses of my mind I had still planned to fold out the futon. It was strange that we'd had sex over and over, but somehow sharing a bed to sleep seemed like yet another line to cross. This was an easy line, though. Once I considered it, nothing could have seemed more natural than sharing a bed with her.

"I thought I'd take in the stars for a few minutes," I said. With the dark skies in the lake country, the night sky was a spectacular show. The lights in the city washed out all but the brightest stars, but at the cabin the sky was an ocean of them. On any other night, I'd have setup my father's telescope and spent hours stargazing, but this wasn't any other night.

"Mind if I join you?" asked Alexis.

"Mind?" I said. "Of course not. You just never seemed to have any interest in stargazing before."

"I never gave it any thought," she said, "but if you like it, there must be something to it."

"Grab the blanket and let's go," I said. We shut off all the lights to let our eyes adapt and then made our way to the deck, where I flopped onto a lounge chair and laid back.

"Is there room for me?" said Alexis. "I want to share the blanked."

"Definitely," I said. "There's always room for you, and it is a little chilly out here now."

"It is," she said, "and of course there are other good reasons to share a chair."

"Yeah," I said, "sit on my lap and we'll talk about the first thing that pops up."

She actually smacked me on the top of the head.

"That's got to be the dumbest joke ever," she said, "and the oldest." She paused for a moment, then added "not a bad idea, though."
