Previously
Eighteen year-old Ashley Adams was still a virgin but she wasn't planning to remain that way long. Until recently her twin brother Brad had thought of her as his innocent little sister, (although she was actually seven minutes older), but when the drapes from her bedroom windows were sent to the cleaners, he embarked on a bit of spying.
Unbeknown to Brad however, Ashley was not only aware of his clandestine activity, but even worked a bit at furthering his interest. Although the knowledge that she was being watched by her brother was somewhat frightening, she also found it intoxicating, resulting in her having less and less concern for modesty when alone at home with him. Brad was not immune to the change in his sister's attitude and joyfully abandoned his role as protector, encouraging her instead toward even more revealing attire.
Ashley became intrigued by and began dating her brother's best friend Jarrad, a charmer in a roguish way. Her sexuality excited him also and he encouraged it further... and not just in private either. She was embarrassed, by how easily she could be talked into behavior she had previously considered very inappropriate.
Chapter XX.
Ashley had retreated to her room. It had been an eventful morning. She had started it by sitting down to breakfast with her brother, dressed only in a worn dress shirt and panties. This, by itself, was not all that unusual. Lately, it had become almost normal for her not to be wearing much when at home with just her brother.
Then Jarrad and his cousin showed up, and instead of putting on something more suited to hanging out with three eighteen year old guys, she allowed herself to be talked into remaining as she was. Sure, it was a bit on the naughty side, especially so since she had never before even
met
Jarrad's cousin, but after all, as she told herself, she was still wearing more than she would be on a public beach.
If it had stopped there, she might have been able to chalk it up to expanding her horizons, but then they went into the den and once again, she allowed herself to be talked into something she knew she shouldn't be doing. She danced for and with the guys, wearing only the panties and the worn dress shirt.
She loved the attention and encouragement she got, even from her brother, and it wasn't long before the panties were gone and the shirt was unbuttoned. In hindsight, she realized how fortunate it had been, that Jarrad and his cousin got a phone call from home and had to leave before things went any further.
However, she had gone well beyond anything she had ever done before and well beyond anything, she thought she should be doing. She really did need to slow things down.
It was nearly noon and her brother would be expecting her in the kitchen to help with lunch. She couldn't pretend that the morning hadn't happened. "
My God,
" she thought as she recalled dancing with her brother while wearing
only
an unbuttoned shirt. There was no way she could allow him to think
that
would be the new 'normal'.
Guessing that Ashley was probably embarrassed over what had transpired earlier in the day, Brad expected there to be a noticeable change in how his sister dressed and otherwise behaved. He was prepared to find her dressed as modestly as she had been when he thought her to be so innocent.
When Brad got to the kitchen, Ashley was already there fixing soup to go with sandwiches. The sight that greeted him though, was not what he was expecting. He stopped dead in his tracks. Yes, Ashley was embarrassed, so much so that she had even considered
not
showing up for lunch. She chose instead to pretend that what had happened that morning was okay, of her own choosing, and not something her brother and his friends had coerced her into. Besides, she wasn't so sure that wasn't the truth anyway.
Instead of the modest attire Brad had expected, Ashley was dressed in only her underwear – a bra and panties. Granted, it was probably the most conservative underwear she owned, but it was still underwear.
Ashley turned to greet her brother and saw that he had stopped in the doorway, staring in her direction. She felt it necessary to say something about how she was dressed. "You got to see plenty of me earlier in the day, without underwear, or much else either." Ashley smiled, painting a cheery mood over her embarrassment. "I hope you don't mind if I dressed up a little for lunch."
"Uh no... Of course not... it's very nice. I was afraid you might be planning to join a nunnery."
"
Probably not a bad idea," thought Ashley. She was determined, however, to hide her discomfort. "No way," she responded cheerily, "I'm having too much fun to even think about that. Now get the sandwich stuff out of the fridge." Ashley turned back to the stove where the soup was about to boil over.
"Oh yeah, right." Brad turned and opened the refrigerator. He got out the tuna salad, cold cuts, mustard, mayo and cheese. From the pantry, he retrieved a fresh loaf of bread and put all of it on the table while Ashley busied herself ladling the soup into bowls, attempting to hide the self-consciousness she was feeling.
