The Hawthorne siblings were in the master bedroom of their house, discussing arrangements for their upcoming night together. Or rather the four Hawthorne sisters were, their stepbrother Charlie was simply staring at them in dumb shock. He had a lot on his mind after all.
Lucy and Meiko were arguing. "I'm telling you, we need to leave the light on! If I have to sleep in the dark I'll have nightmares, I know it! That's what always happens!" cried Lucy.
Meiko rolled her eyes. "For crying out loud Lucy! You're not six fucking years old anymore! Are you ever going to grow up? I can't sleep with a glaring light shining right in my face!"
Melody sighed. "Okay, how about this. We leave the light on but turn the dimmer switch down. We'll just have a gentle ambient lighting that doesn't strain the eyes."
"Oooo, that sounds nice and cozy!" said Lucy happily.
"Fine, I guess I can live with that." said Meiko sullenly. "At least it won't keep me awake."
"Yeah, that makes no difference to me." added Karen impatiently. "Can we hurry up and start getting ready for bed? I'm getting tired."
"I agree." said Melody. And with that all four girls started undressing.
Charlie yelped and turned away blushing. "Just...just let me know when you're all done."
"Well, we're all pretty much done now." replied Melody, puzzled. Charlie turned back, only to be greeted by the sight of his sisters in their underwear. Charlie yelped and turned away again. "No you're not! For Christ's sake, put on some pyjamas or nighties or something!"
Melody snorted. "You're obviously not familiar with the practices of alternative medicine, Charlie. Pyjamas or nighties should never be worn to bed, they make it hard for the skin to breathe. It's vital for the skin to breathe at night Charlie, it helps keep good health and slows down aging." She rolled her eyes. "That's the problem with you boys, you're stuck like a barnacle to the ideas of mainstream science. Don't get me wrong, the scientific method has its place, but it's not the be all and end all. Us girls aren't afraid to expand our horizons, Charlie. We've all slept in our underwear for years."
"But do you have to wear underwear like
that?
" spluttered Charlie. "You all look like fucking lingerie models!" And it was true. The four of them were wearing some of the sexiest underwear Charlie had ever seen in his life. Melody was dressed all in white, with a gorgeous lacy bra and skimpy cotton panties. Karen was wearing a thin silk bra and matching thong, both the same colour as her flame red hair. Meiko was wearing a gorgeous purple silk negligee, which fully accentuated her lovely curves. And as for little Lucy? She was wearing a delicate pink coloured bra with matching skimpy little pink panties.
Officially sanctioned Hello Kitty panties
thought Charlie weakly, as he saw a little picture of the character staring at him from the top right of her gusset. The whole ensemble went disturbingly well with her honey blonde pigtails and innocent blue eyes.
"Can't you...can't you all wear something a little less...
fancy?
" stammered Charlie. He had turned his head back to talk to them, which was a bad mistake. He was now trying to tear his gaze away from the sight of their luscious bodies and failing miserably.
"Oh for goodness sake Charlie." snapped Melody. "Do you really expect us to be wearing any flea bitten old tat? Our family is rich, remember? No, it's nothing but the finest for me and my sisters. We're not like you, Charlie. I've done the laundry, I know what battered old boxers you wear all the time. You should really take more pride in your appearance."
"But...but..." Charlie tried to put his thoughts into words. "Look, you guys are my sisters, I love you as my sisters, I've always thought of you as my sisters." said Charlie desperately. "But at the end of the day you're the only biological child of our parents, Melody. The rest of us were all adopted. So when you get right down to it, none of us are actually blood relatives of each other..."
Melody frowned, puzzled. "Well, I suppose not." she said, looking at him curiously. "But what does that have to do with anything?"
Charlie swallowed. "It's just that, well...all of you are...very pretty and, well..."
Melody was taken aback. "Well, thank you for the compliment Charlie." she said with an expression of mixed puzzlement and amusement on her face. "That's certainly very nice of you to say. And certainly very flattering. But again, I don't really see what that has to do with anything."
She didn't seem to be getting it. Charlie stood there in a daze, trying to take in what he was seeing. "Very pretty" was underselling it a bit, all four of them were drop dead fucking gorgeous. If their family hadn't been rich, they could have made all the money they needed with lucrative modelling careers. Hell, they could even have had a shot at being
supermodels
. Charlie shivered. He was starting to see his stepsisters through new eyes and he didn't like it. Not one bit.
"Look Charlie, I don't know what you're trying to say, and I don't particularly care." interrupted Karen impatiently. "I think you're just stalling. Hurry up and get undressed. Right down to your boxers. After all, your skin needs to breathe too."
Charlie gulped and reluctantly began getting undressed. When he was finished, Lucy started giggling. "I see what you meant by his natty old boxers, Mel." she said with a smirk. "There's probably hobos with less tattered undies than that! At least they're clean."
"Charlie, you have to take better care of yourself than that." said Meiko gently. "Maybe we should start helping you with your fashion choices as well. I could make you look like a proper little gentleman."
"We can discuss all that tomorrow." said Karen. "Right now we have to think about our sleeping positions. We have to think about how we're going to assist Charlie in...resisting temptation. Fortunately, I happen to have come up with a battle plan."
She pulled the covers off the huge bed. "Lie right there in the center Charlie, on your back with your head on the pillow." Charlie hurriedly complied. He didn't want to piss her off again tonight. "Now stretch your arms out in a T position, or as close as you can get to it while still being comfortable." Charlie did so, wondering what she was up to. "Here's my idea." Karen said to the others. "Two of us will sleep on each side of Charlie, lying on his arms. He'll find it very difficult to get out of that, and it would be almost impossible for him to pull an arm out without waking us up."
"Oh, that's a wonderful idea!" exclaimed a delighted Melody.
"No wait! You can't do that!" protested Charlie. "You'll cut off my circulation!"
Karen rolled her eyes. "Oh Charlie, don't be stupid. None of us are very heavy and that mattress is very soft. This is just to give us a little alarm call if you try to start touching yourself again. And I warn you Charlie, I'm a
very
light sleeper."
