Things had been rough between my wife Sadie and I for a long time. As an executive at a fast-growing financial company, my schedule was very demanding, and she resented the attention I'd given to my career. She was a jealous woman, and even though I'd never even think about cheating on her, she began to think of my work as if it were a mistress.
On the day of our 10-year anniversary, she told me she wanted a divorce. I wasn't surprised. I guess I'd seen it coming. Still, hearing it devastated me. I'd tried to work things out with her, but she wanted me to give up the career I'd worked so hard to build, and I just wasn't willing to do that to feed her jealous.
That night, I packed up some things and called my younger sister Vera and asked if I could crash at her apartment for a few days until I figured things out. She knew things had been rough between me and my wife for a while, and she said "Of course! Come on over!" She lived on the other side of town, and we really hadn't seen each other much for the past year or so.
I should explain that my sister is almost my complete opposite: I'm conservative, disciplined, and hard-working, while she's creative, whimsical, and free-spirited. She worked in sales, and was very successful because of her bubbly personality, but she had no responsibilities or obligations in the world, and spent most of her money splurging on vacations, alcohol, and perhaps I suspected even drugs.
She was a short, plump, chubby girl with blonde hair and glasses, but with her charm and vivaciousness she never had trouble finding a boyfriend when she wanted one, despite her weight. She rocked what she had.
We sometimes got into arguments over our various lifestyle differences, but the truth is, I was looking forward to spending some time with her. After such a sad, difficult few years, I felt like I could use a little creative chaos like she could provide.
I drove across town and showed up at her apartment with a hastily-packed bag of clothes and personal items.
Vera opened the door wearing her silly Hello Kitty pink pajamas and holding a big glass of wine. "Sorry to hear about Sadie," she said. "Come on in. I hope you don't mind, I already started drinking. We're getting wasted tonight. You deserve it."
I laughed, and put my bags down. "Yeah, I guess I do."
She put her glass down and gave me a big hug. I immediately felt guilty because I couldn't help but think of how great her big tits felt squeezing against me. Sadie was all but flat-chested, which isn't necessarily bad in itself, but when you haven't had something for a long time it sure feels nice when you finally feel it.
I put my things away at her apartment, and we spent the evening drinking cheap wine and laying on her sofa watching cable. It got late, and she shows became increasingly racy. Finally, in the middle of a violent sex scene, I mumbled, "It's super awkward that I'm watching this with my sister, you know."
She laughed and poured herself another glass. "Totally, but who cares? We're both adults, so there's no point in pretending we don't both love watching sexy people fuck, you know?"
"Yeah," I said. "I guess so."
"Look at her," she said, nodding toward the TV. "Those legs and that ass. Damn she's hot. I wish I could have her body."
"You seem to do already with the one you have," I said. "You always seem to have a boyfriend around!"
"Nah, not recently. I was actually in a relationship with the same guy for the last 8 months, but I found out he was cheating and got rid of him a couple weeks ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's fine. I needed a break from men anyway. I need some time to think about what I want, you know?"
"Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, " I said.
We went back to watching TV on the sofa, with Vera sitting sideways and resting her feet on my lap, a feeling strangely reminiscent of that long night so many years ago.
I slept on the sofa that night-or at least tried to. I'd managed to put fantasies about Vera out of my mind many years ago, but after having gone so long without sex with my wife, and then the frustration of breaking up, and then spending time with Vera tonight, some of those old taboo fantasies returned to my mind and took hold.
The next day, Vera left for work, but I took the day off. I needed time to think, and I was in no emotional state to go into work myself. I sat and watched more TV, drank a little wine, and eventually went to go check my email on the computer in her bedroom.
Now, I would normally never do something like this, but the wine was making me a little reckless, and curiosity got the better of me. I opened up Vera's browser history.
I saw she'd looked up some movies and other random stuff, but then I noticed some links to porn videos she'd looked at late last night. Incest porn. Brother and sister porn.
My heart pounded in my chest. Was she thinking the same kinds of things I'd been fighting all these years?
I looked further and found an incest fantasy blog she'd been reading. I looked at the most recent entry she'd read: "Oh my god, you guys, my brother split with his wife and is staying in my apartment. This is going to drive me crazy. I diddled myself three times last night thinking about him."
Oh shit. She hadn't just been reading it. She'd actually written it. This was her blog!
I scrolled down and looked at every entry she'd ever posted. Most were photos or videos, but some were occasional comments about her "sexy professional brother" and the things she wanted to do to me.
I couldn't believe it. I was stunned.
I erased my tracks, closed the browser, and turned off the computer. This was insane. Sure, we apparently had the same kink, but we definitely couldn't do anything about it. Still, knowing that she had the same terrible secret I did seemed to make me feel a closer bond with her.
She came home from work that afternoon, and we ate Chinese takeout for dinner. She took a quick shower afterward, and came out of the bathtub wearing a fluffy black bathrobe that highlighted her pale skin. She looked fantastic, and I couldn't help but wonder what she looked like under the bathrobe. I wanted to see those curves, see what her nipples looked like, see what kind of ass she had. I couldn't stop thinking about her.
We sat down on the sofa with some wine again, and she laid sideways with her legs on my lap again. This time, I had to be careful where I looked, since she was only in her bathrobe.
That night we watched a vampire movie with some seriously wild sex scenes in it, and we laughed about it. But then, late into the evening, I recognized an unmistakable smell.
"Holy shit," I said, "you must really be enjoying this movie."
She looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"I can smell you. I can smell how turned on you are."
She immediately blushed and covered her face. "Oh my god," she said, giggling nervously.
