Laura and I are practically brother and sister. Technically we're just first cousins but we spent a ot of time together growing up and recently she came to live with us. She's 18 and just one year younger than me. We both have basically worthless parents. When her dad was locked up and her mom stayed too stoned to take care of her she came to live with us, which was better but not by a whole lot. My dad left years ago and my mom was gone most of the time.
The apartment we lived in was just 2 bedrooms. The day Laura's mom dropped her off I remember my mom saying, "Well she sure as hell isn't staying in my room. You two will have to work it out." Those first few days were awkward. Even though we were cousins and good friends with each other we were teenagers past puberty and there wasn't a ot of privacy. At night I would give her a few minutes to change into her night clothes and get under her blanket on the floor. When she was ready she would yell "Ok" and turn the light off. Then I would come in and get undressed, stumbling around in the dark, and get into my bed.
Laura is my cousin but I still find her hot. Somehow I've always felt guilty about that. She's 5-6, 120 pounds, dirty blond hair, brown eyes, 32b Her boobs aren't all that big but her nipples always seem to be poking out, which drives me crazy. He lips are full and gorgeous and she has the cutest nose. As you can guess, it was hard sleeping in the same room with her. Without privacy I couldn't even jerk off anymore except in the shower.
Late at night we talked for hours in the dark. We even found a mutual interest in engineering and decided to go to the same college out of state, far away from our disappointing childhoods. One winter night, deep in conversation we noticed it getting increasingly cold in the house. I knew what had happened. My mom failed to pay the gas bill again. I was embarrassed to tell Laura. She was shivering down there on the floor.
"Laura, why don't you come up here with me?" I asked timidly. As soon as the words came out I wanted to shoot myself.
"Thank you!" she squealed, jumping up into the bed with me. Her body was trembling from the cold. It was pitch dark and she cuddled up behind me. I was hard and thankful to be facing away from her. Her body heat felt so good. I was wearing boxers and a t-shirt. I could feel her bare legs on mine. I assumed she had changed into the panties and sweatshirt I always saw laying on top of her blanket.
"Ohhh that's so much warmer cuz," she sighed. "I owe you and your mom so much I can't tell you how grateful I am." She's always called me cuz.
"It's the least we can do Laura, after all we're family. My mom wasn't sure about you staying here at first but I begged her not to let you stay in that terrible situation at home."
"It was really hard for me. Now that I'm here, safe and warm with you, it seems like a lifetime ago."
We fell asleep and in the morning I was so hard it hurt. In the night I had rolled onto my back and as I opened my eyes I could see that I was making a tent in the bed covers. I gasped as I glanced over and saw Laura, her head propped up in her hand, grinning at me. I quickly rolled to the side, away from her. She giggled.
"It's ok, cuz. I'm so sorry. I've been so selfish, stealing your room like this. We've been so close, just like friends, and after growing up together, I totally forgot you're a man as well as an awesome cousin."
My heart was pounding. "I, uh...I must have been dreaming..."
She giggled some more. "Oh cuz it's completely natural. Don't even worry about it. Do you know how many times I've masturbated in the bathroom with your electric toothbrush? We all need a release sometimes."
"My toothbrush?" I couldn't believe what she was saying.
