They stood in the doorway and watched in disbelief. Glancing at one another, they each shook their heads in annoyance. After their parents drove away, the two eighteen-year-olds closed the front door. Her mother and his father had just gotten married the day before and had just departed on their honeymoon for four days leaving the new step siblings alone to become acquainted.
Vanessa and Nelson had only met a few times prior to the wedding; not enough to get to know or even decide whether to like one another. And yet, they had to live together; alone for now, and as a family when their parents returned. Neither had been consulted or even asked how they felt about their parents getting married--not that it would likely have made a difference.
In the living area, Vanessa took a seat at one end of the sofa. Following her, the one positive thing Nelson knew about his new stepsister was that she was gorgeous. Dark hair, killer body, beautiful breasts--at least, what he could see from her low-cut top--and great legs that she showed off with short cut-off jeans. But he feared her reaction if she caught him showing interest.
Vanessa was aware that her new stepbrother was sneaking looks at her. He was trying to be unobtrusive, but to her, he was obvious enough. That caused her some concern being alone with him. She really knew little about him, what kind of person he was, what kind of guy he was. Would she not be able to relax around him? Should she lock her bedroom door? On the other hand, he wasn't bad looking, and under other circumstances, she could have an interest in him. However, being forced together like this was not how to become acquainted.
Nelson sat at the other end of the sofa.
"Is this how it's going to be?" Vanessa asked, deciding to nip it in the bud. "You're going to keep staring at me?"
Nelson was stunned to be called out. Should he deny it? Maybe there was a way to turn it on her. "Sorry. I can't help it that you're so attractive."
She wasn't expecting that. With a heavy sigh, she said, "We're going to need to come to some sort of agreement regarding this arrangement."
"What do you mean?"
"This is an awkward situation, us being forced together. I suggest we just stay out of each other's way. The more we avoid each other, the better we'll get along."
"I guess that'll work."
"Good." Vanessa stood and walked toward the kitchen, knowing his eyes were on her.
"You're staring again."
"Can I ask you a question?"
Stopping before entering the kitchen, she turned with an annoyed expression.
"What?"
"When you got dressed this morning, did you hope no one would look at you?"
With a frown, Vanessa answered, "No. I dress to be comfortable. Why?"
"Well, if you don't want to be
stared
at, maybe next time, you should consider what you wear."
Shaking her head in stupefaction, Vanessa moved on.
When she was out of sight, Nelson breathed his relief at finally being able to adjust the erection he had uncomfortably grown in his pants. He didn't know that she had peeped at him doing that.

Twenty or so minutes later, Nelson heard Vanessa exit the kitchen. He placed his hand over his eyes.
"Oh, you're hysterical."
"Just keeping out of your way."
"And doing a decent job." Maybe he wasn't so bad. "I cooked a frozen pizza for lunch. There's plenty if you'd like some."
Nelson hadn't expected that. "Wow. That's kind of you."
"I'm not a
total
bitch."
"For future reference, just how much of a bitch
are
you?" Nelson asked with a smirk, having uncovered his eyes.
"That depends on how much of an
asshole you're
going to be," Vanessa answered, grinning.
Assuming they were being playful, Nelson said, "Oh, you know, probably just an average amount."
They both laughed. It was a moment.
Nelson stood to go eat his pizza forgetting about the bulge in his crotch.
"Seriously?
You've got a
boner?"
Vanessa accused.
With a helpless expression and shrug, Nelson blatantly adjusted his dick. "I can't control it."
"That's a pretty big lump in your pants," Vanessa observed. "You can't really be that big. You have a banana in your pocket?"
Nelson rolled his eyes. "A banana? That the best you could do?" He shrugged. "Anytime you want to see my banana."
"You'd
love
that, wouldn't you?"
"You'd
love it!" he shot back, chuckling.
Yes, I would, Vanessa thought to herself, following him into the kitchen.
"How am I supposed to keep my distance if you're following me?" Nelson playfully asked.
"I'm giving you temporary dispensation."
"You're realizing I'm really not that bad?"
"Actually, yes."
Another unexpected response. As he reached for a slice of pizza, Vanessa leaned on her arms on the counter across from him giving him a clear view of her tits down her top.
"Are you teasing me?"
Ignoring the question, she asked, "You really think I'm attractive?"
"Yes," Nelson responded hesitantly, curious about the question. "Are you having doubts?"
"Guys at school stare at me all the time, but no one has ever told me that."
"Really? That's hard to believe."
She shrugged. "Thanks for the compliment. I'm going to take a shower."
