Road to the Sun Chapter:08
Claire gets more than she bargained for.
***
Snow-covered mountains and a bitter breeze met James as he walked back to his pickup. He could have had one of his sisters come with him and bring back the SUV at the same time, but hearing them still laughing he decided to do it all on his own.
'The Walk of Shame' back to the cabin earlier that day had caused, for what seemed like forever, the Cromwell siblings to bust out in laughter. It was funny, he supposed, but also embarrassing for James. He didn't think that the laughter had even stopped while he went to bring the pickup back because it seemed to get even more irritating.
He had a few things on his mind and the peace and quiet helped him focus. Well, that's what he hoped would happen. Reality was the chilly wind biting at his face and ears, just a small part of the problem with trying to think straight. His mind started humming a tune on its own about Jack Frost nipping at his nose. Which in turn brought up the fact that the holidays were fast approaching. Which also meant that Claire's birthday would be soon, just after Thanksgiving.
'Winter!' he thought. Just what they needed. He had already picked up the stuff to winterize the vehicles and he knew it had to be done today, no putting off! He'd do it after he warmed up. As for Claire's birthday present? He needed to get started on making something nice for her as well. Not going to be easy hiding it from her while he worked on it, one room cabin and all. But, he would find a way.
Another thing that ran through his mind was that he had met Mariah's twin sister Tess. Meeting another set of twins was a bit of a surprise, but a nice one. Very lovely brown eyes and an ample chest if her tight fitting sweater was to be believed. She seemed to be flirting with him, but he wasn't sure.
He froze in place as his hand reached for the door handle of his truck when the thought of fucking two sets of twins at the same time crossed his mind. He had never even thought of having sex with Mariah or Tess till that moment. He tried to shake the idea from his head and then climbed in and headed back to the cabin. It was an idea that wouldn't shake loose.

"What-ya thinking about?" Claire asked him as he seemed to be zoning off.
"About how all this..." he motioned with his hand to seemingly indicate the entire cabin, "came about."
She had a confused look on her face when she asked, "With Mom and Dad dying?"
"In a roundabout way... yeah."
"Roundabout way?" Melody asked.
"Yeah... if I hadn't had nightmares about Mom, y'all wouldn't have been sleeping in my bed with me, and I wouldn't have fallen out."
"What does that have to do with us being here?" Cindy inquired.
"And what does anything have to do with you falling out of bed?" Melody added.
He sat down on the mattress and let out a drawn-out sigh, "I didn't mean being here, as in here in Montana or the cabin. I meant here as in a sexual relationship with each other."
"What do falling out of bed and sex have to do with each other?" Cindy inquired.
"Who did you have sex with and when did it happen?" Melody's stern glare made it quite evident that she wasn't happy at the thought. He knew that look well. How could he not? Eighteen years of his life he had spent with his sisters; his entire life up to that moment, a life that might end soon unless he was careful.
"Nothing like that Mel," he said with his hands up in surrender.
When a smile crossed her face, he continued. "You remember when I fell out of bed back in Georgia?"
"Yeah." She smiled brightly.
"When I stood up and saw the three of you laying in my bed, that was the first time I knew what true beauty looked like."
He heard the twins sigh and his oldest sister's "Aw". When he met their eyes they blushed. His heart started to beat a little harder.
"It was also the first time that I-I got aroused." Now he was a bit embarrassed. "When I saw you three in the kitchen."
"Is that why you ran off? You got hard?" Cindy asked.
"No, I... don't really know why I ran," he hung his head and shook it. He felt three hands touch him at the same time; one on each shoulder and one on his thigh.
He looked at the hand on his thigh and followed the arm up to Claire's face. Her hair color he really didn't know what it would be called except for black. She had blonde stands here and there along with other colors like red and brown. Her sky blue eyes were soft and caring. He felt like he could just look into her eyes for the rest of his life and be happy. "I think things are different now."
Claire touched his face with her other hand and gave it a gentle touch. "Things are different and have been for a while." She leaned forward and kissed him lightly on the lips, then sat back and waited for him to continue.
He licked his bottom lip and sighed, then looked at his other sisters. "I've been... doing a good bit of thinking while at work this past week." It got deathly quiet in the cabin. Even the fire seemed to hold its popping and crackling waiting for the other shoe to drop. "Mostly been thinking about you and me, Mel." He looked at her and watched as she bit her upper lip and seemed to be nervous. "Part of me wanted to grab you and kiss you when I got home, then rip your clothes off and throw you on the bed." She smiled and blushed at that part but was still showing a touch of nervousness mixed with the desire sparkling in her eyes.
"But...," he could sense the tension in the cabin rise, "we are brother and sister. And it is still illegal." The shoe dropped and he watched Melody's eyes moisten. As her tears began to fall he took her by the shoulders. "But, I don't care. I love you! I'm in love with you! It might be wrong and people will condemn us for it, but they can all go to hell! I don't want to lose what we have! I don't want to lose you!"
James didn't get the chance to finish as he was tackled by Melody and kissed fiercely. When she was done, she raised herself up by pushing against his chest. Looked him in the eyes and then punched him in the chest!
"Ouch! What the hell, Mel?!"
"Don't you EVER do that to me again!"
"What did I do?"
"It sounded like you were breaking up with me!"
He grabbed her and pulled her tight against his chest and kissed the top of her head. "I'll never break up with you! You're family and family comes first!" He kissed the top of her head again.
She kissed his chest and moved to look him in the eyes again. "Next time, you better think of how you say something and not just what you want to say, buster!" She kissed his lips once more then sat up straight and wiped her tears away.
He sat up and looked at Cindy and Claire. He didn't know what to say and took a few moments to organize his thoughts.
Claire then asked: "Have you thought about us?"
"Sort of."
