"What are you reading?"
"Nothing that you'd be interested in."
"I might be. Let me see it."
I shook my head. Then, with a quickness that took me by surprise, she snatched the phone from my hand. I could easily get it back, but it was already too late.
While smiling, she said, "So my little Brother likes to read naughty stories."
That was true, so I wasn't going to argue with her.
"And I thought that you were a good boy."
Then she read some more.
"VERY naughty stories."
Now she was sniggering, and I was embarrassed. It was time to defend myself, because as far as I was concerned, I hadn't done anything wrong.
"There's nothing that's underage. And I'm twenty, that's old enough for me to read them."
That made her smile, and I knew why. She was twenty six, so as far as she was concerned, I was still a child.
"What's the story called?"
That was rhetorical. I knew that she was going to get great pleasure from telling me what the title of it was.
"Adam and his Mother."
She was enjoying making me squirm. And she wasn't going to stop.
"While at a fancy dress party she mistakes him for her husband, so they fuck."
That was the short description of it, and it summed it up in a nutshell.
"That's ridiculous, it could never happen. She would know that it wasn't her husband, even before they started having sex."
"I disagree. You haven't read all of the story. It's well-written, and it's convincing."
That got a snort of derision from her. Then, after throwing me my very expensive phone, that I only just managed to catch, she left the room.
I wasn't worried that she would tell our parents what I had been reading. My Sister was many things, but a tell-tale wasn't one of them. Even from an early age, any secrets we had, always remained between us.
I thought that was the end of it, but two months later Alice wanted to talk about it again.
While we were alone, and without any preamble, she suddenly surprised me with, "Do you remember when I caught you reading that story?"
I did, but why bring it up again now after such a long time?
"Yes."
"Do you think that it could happen for real?"
I gave it some thought, and then I answered her.
"Given the right circumstances, yes I do."
"Good, now how about putting your money where your mouth is?"
That's when we made the bet!
We didn't wager much. It was more about being right rather than the money. The winner would be able to brag about it for a long time.
That evening, while I was alone in my room, I thought some more about what I had readily agreed to.
At the weekend there was a fancy dress party, with a stipulation that a mask must be worn. I wasn't invited to it, but my parents were. Alice was confident that she could persuade Father to let me take his place.
"I'll tell him that we are playing a joke on Mother. I'm sure that he'll agree to it."
For me to win the bet, I had to get to midnight without being found out. Then I would take my mask off and surprise her.
On the morning of the party we all had breakfast together.
"I'm really looking forward to tonight, it's been ages since we've been out."
That was from Father. He was playing his part well, because he sounded excited, even though he was really staying at home.
Looking at Mother, I asked, "What time are you leaving?"
"Eight. It will take us twenty minutes to get there."
I was hoping it would be later because that would increase my chances of winning the bet.
"Isn't that early?"
She just shook her head. I left it at that. If I was to push it then she'd get suspicious.
After eating I went to my room. It wasn't long before my Sister joined me.
"Nice try, but it didn't work. If you want we can call it off. It's going to be embarrassing when you are discovered after only ten minutes, or will it be five?"
That amused her, but it irritated me, and that's why I suggested we increase the bet. Now it was serious. The money had been replaced by something more important, our time. The loser had to do the others bidding for a week.
Until it was time to get ready for the party, I kept myself busy. Doing nothing would have given me time to think about it, and that might have made me nervous. To win, I had to stay confident. I was going to be an actor playing a part, and I needed to be convincing.
It was now time for the switch. I was in my bedroom, constantly looking at my watch, while I waited for Father to join me. And my confidence was slowly ebbing away. When he eventually opened the door, I was about to call it off, but Alice was with him, and the first words out of her mouth told me that it was too late to change my mind.
While smirking, she said, "I've already got a list of jobs for you to do. Would you like to see it?"
I just ignored her. If I was to get into a conversation with her, it might quickly become an argument. Now wasn't the time for that.
Thankfully, when I was wearing the costume, most of my confidence returned. We were the same height, and almost the same build, so it was a good fit. The mask was full faced, only my eyes and mouth were exposed. There was a good chance that I'd be able to fool my Mother.
When I looked in the mirror I smiled. I was now Homer Simpson!
My strategy for winning was simple. To say as little as possible to my Mother, and to spend as much time as I could away from her. My voice and Father's were very similar, but not identical, so talking too much might give me away. The most difficult time was going to be while we were in the car, because we would be close together.
When I went to their bedroom she was still getting ready. She was just in her underwear. To give her some privacy, I was about to turn my back towards her, but I stopped. That would have been a mistake because my Father wouldn't have done that.
While giving me a nice smile, she said, "Two minutes and I'll be ready."
That was enough time for me to admire her body, and I took the opportunity to do that, starting at her top, and then working my way down.
Her breasts were covered by a bra that looked to be too small for her, so there was a lot of cleavage on display. They were nice tits, something to be proud of. And as for her panties, that were covering her most sacred place, they could only be described as skimpy. I didn't look at them for long, because to do so would have got me excited, and that would have been wrong.
My Father was a good-looking man, but even so, he was definitely punching above his weight. He'd managed to marry somebody who should have been out of his league. It was a given that she was beautiful, and she had the body to go with it. Her breasts were large, but not excessive. As were her hips. And to complete the picture of near perfection, she has a narrow waist, and a bottom that men can't take their eyes off.
She was forty five years old, but most men, even those a lot younger than her, would still want her in their bed!
When we got into the car my heart started to race. I was convinced that any second now, I would be found out, and that would make my Sister's day. However, she was content to stay silent, so eventually I calmed down. She didn't speak until we were almost there.
"Take a left here, and then a right when you get to the end of the road."
When I saw the house I had to smile. I say house, but it was more like a mansion. In it there would be plenty of places for me to hide. I should start to compile my own list of jobs, because I was now confident that I was going to win the bet.
I'd just parked the car when she did something that startled me. She put her hand on my leg, high up on my thigh. I gulped. Was it going to move onto my cock, and if it did, then what was I going to do?
"I'm going to enjoy this. I'll have a few drinks. That will put me in the mood for sex when we get home."
That was something that I didn't want to hear, and worryingly, I had no idea how my Father would have responded to it, but I needed to say something.
"That will be nice."
After briefly laughing, she said, "It needs to be better than nice."
When we got inside, and we were greeted by the host, I was relieved. So far so good. Just a few more hours and I'd be the winner.
