NB: This is the first chapter in a multi-part series. The sex in this is minimal although there are several sexual elements to develop the plot. Things heat up in chapter two.

The first thing I should tell you about my sister is that she is the most stunningly beautiful woman I have ever seen. It's an important point - things probably wouldn't have worked out as they did if she weren't possessed of a beauty that transcended mere hotness. Jennifer was Venus incarnate. I was no bronzed Adonis. When the gods of genetics blessed my family, they spent their genius upon her and I was bereft. Not to say I'm ugly, merely average. The kind of man whose appearance is defined more by clothing than inherent qualities. I dressed well, exercised often and I could get girls, but none as beautiful as my sister.
I suppose I should tell you my story.
Two or three years ago, when my sister began going on dates, I felt that none of her boyfriends were worthy of her. She must have felt the same, because none stuck around for more than a month or two. Then she finished school and took a gap year with her girlfriends to travel in Europe and do volunteer work in South East Asia. I finished my own high school studies but didn't want to take a gap year, so it worked out that we'd be starting at university in the same year. My interest, odd though it may sound, was naval architecture. Jen wanted to study marketing. Due to the obscurity of my interest only a couple of universities in the country offered it, and neither in our home town. Returned from months overseas, and probably having gained a taste for freedom, Jen wasn't pleased that I'd be moving out, leaving her to live at home with Mum and Dad and study at the local uni, so she said that move town with me to study. I think our parents were relieved that we could be housemates interstate and offered to help pay our rent if we lived together, so it was settled.
It was the long holiday after finishing my final school exams and before moving. I was enjoying myself reading, playing video games, watching entire seasons of TV shows in a single day and lifting weights at the local gym when I felt like it. Jen spent a lot of time out with friends. Our parents were fairly lax about that, to their credit, and didn't impose strict curfews, so it wasn't uncommon that Jen would return late. I'd just finished watching a TV show on my computer when I heard hushed voices downstairs and realised that Jen must have brought a boy home with her. Our parents had work early and were asleep downstairs, and I guess she assumed I would be as well. My sister's room was next to mine, upstairs. I turned off my computer and lay in bed, but I had a strange compulsion to stave off sleep and instead press my ear to the wall, whereupon I could hear the progression of Jen's evening with her new boyfriend to its logical conclusion. The sounds excited me immensely, as did the very perversion of my listening to them: despite the wall between us I could hear the gentle slapping together of bare flesh, my sister's soft moaning and the quickening, low grunting of the man. This went on for a few minutes until there was a muted squeal, whispered voices and then silence. I noticed my own breath had shortened and that I'd subconsciously been rubbing my fully erect cock beneath the sheets. Silence cooled my arousal though and, deciding that it would be weird to jerk myself to a climax while thinking of my own sister in the next room, I focussed instead on sleep.
I woke the following morning with a raging hard on but fortunately it had subsided by the time I entered the kitchen. To my surprise Jen was already there, dressed as usual in tight jeans and a semi see-through blouse, drinking a coffee. There was no sign of her evening's company; I assumed he'd managed to sneak out earlier. I doubted she'd mention him, so I put on some toast and sat down opposite her, noticing that she wasn't wearing a bra or make up - unusual for her. I could see the outline of her full c-cup breasts and nipples easily enough, which prompted a slight twitch down below, but didn't let my eyes linger there. Jen idly brushed aside some of her luxurious golden locks from her eyes.
"You're up late," she commented.
"You're up early," I countered.
It was 9am, so in truth we were both up fairly early, given that I think we would have got to sleep after 2am.
"Doing anything today?"
Well, damn, is she making a comment about my holiday indolence? Isn't a man allowed a couple of weeks, or months, to relax after finishing school?
"No, probably not much. I'll be going gyming later if you want to come with?"
Despite her perennial radiance, I could see she did look a little tired and somewhat hung-over, so her response in the negative was unsurprising. The toast popped and I ate while Jen downed her coffee and slinked off upstairs. Finished, I returned to my room only to be called back downstairs a couple of minutes later.
"Alex, your washing is in the machine. Take it out!" Jen yelled from the laundry.
Shit, I'd completely forgotten about my washing from yesterday. Jen had gone into the bathroom to clean her teeth when I went to retrieve my clothes, which were at this stage well crushed by my forgetfulness - alas, more ironing for me. Her pile of clothes sat waiting by the machine. Just as I was about to leave, something caught my eye: her black lacy panties, no doubt from the previous day. I could see distinctive white staining on the inside of them, which left little to wonder about its nature, but was quite surprising for its implications. That was her boyfriend's cum. She'd let him cum in her. The thought appeared in my mind, catching me woefully off guard. I'd had sex before, but always with a condom. It almost hadn't even occurred to me that young people wouldn't use condoms, let alone my sister, who was intelligent and responsible, given the messages drilled in during sex-ed. Yet there could be no denying it: that was male ejaculate, probably mixed in with her own cream. Ugh! Did I just think about my sister's love juices? Christ, I needed to leave the laundry and do something else.
Once my washing was out I left for the gym. Six sets of five bench presses had the desired effect and by the time I'd finished squats and hyperextensions I'd all but forgotten. Yet after dinner, in the silent, sombre seclusion of my room, my thoughts returned to the laundry discovery of that morning. There was something erotic, albeit perverse, thinking about the young goddess, my sister, wearing lacy panties like a Victoria Secret model. In an instant I could see her standing before me, lingerie-clad, long stockinged legs drawing my eyes to her small, shapely butt, her full, high breasts filling her bra. The image disappeared.
I'd of course noticed the attention she received from members of my sex for the past three or four years, ever since she'd developed into the lean but shapely figure of today. Of course she's having sex, I told myself. Why shouldn't she? I guess having her out of the house for several months and I'd forgotten some things about having a sister. Long showers that left the bathroom with a strong floral bouquet. More frequent washing of clothes. The fact that she went out socialising often. Considering this, I realised that I was a bit jealous of her. She was, in nearly every way, my superior. I prided myself for being an intellectual type, but she was very clever too. Mine was a brooding, introverted character: deep interest in the esoteric, of history, and of how things work. My idealised self was a Cyrus Harding
a la
Verne. Jen had always been different in that respect, far more outgoing and extroverted.
My thoughts, having wandered far from their original prompt of laundry discoveries, were disrupted by the buzzing of my phone: message from Tom, a school friend, telling me to go out drinking with the guys. Friday night, may as well, I thought.
The usual haunt, such as it could be for a group of 18 year olds, was the 'Pike and Shot', an English-themed pub popular with students. The beer was cheap and free-flowing, quenching our thirst in our dim-lit corner, yet leaving us hungering for female company. On this front I recognised the inadequacy of our choice of establishment, for the Pike and Shot was no nightclub and better suited to conversation of politics or philosophy over a pint with friends than the exercise of charm
vis-à-vis
the opposite sex. Personally I was not fond of nightclubs so this was not a problem, yet I had broken things off with my girlfriend a couple of months ago and my friends - several more successful than I in these endeavours - thought this should be rectified.
"You should get back with Alice," Tom suggested.
