Brenda watched all the passengers getting off the train, waiting patiently for her brother. It had been almost a year since she had seen him. He was off at college, and on holidays he had track meets to go to, so what with one thing and another, they just never made contact. But things had changed in Brendaâs life, sheâd just separated from her live-in boyfriend, gotten a new apartment in the city, and she had been feeling kind of lonely. So she gave her little brother a call and Sean had said he could steal away for a weekend, and, well, here he was.
Sheâd spent the hour before she came to pick him up straightening the apartment, washing dishes, and throwing dirty laundry into the bottom of her closet. He was only her little brother, two years younger than she was at 21, but she wanted to make a good impression.
Little brother, indeed. Brenda was a small girl, true, only coming to a couple inches over five feet, and slender, but her brother had grown to a strappling 6â3â in his teens, and with the kind of lean physique one sees in the Olympics. They had fought like hell all through high school, but Brenda thought now that both of them were older, maybe they could get along a little better. She planned a busy weekend to try and keep him from getting bored to show off to him that maybe she wasnât as boring as he had thought before.
Sean was one of the last people to step off the train. He stood for a moment, looking for his sister, shifting the carryall bag he wore on his shoulder. Finally, he saw her and went over to her. They embraced, Brenda standing on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek. They exchanged some pleasantries, and were off on the short walk to the bus that would take them to her apartment.

Their first couple hours together had just been spent catching up with each other. Brenda explaining her break-up to Sean, keeping the sad parts out, trying to put a positive face on it all. Sean told her all about the most recent track and field competition where heâd taken first place pole vaulting. Brenda told him about her job, and some of the places she hung out. Sean asked if a lot of girls went to these places. It was that which led them to the first frank discussion theyâd ever had about sex.
ââI dunno. Itâs not that I donât want to find a girl and fall in love, but with all the time I have to spend practicing, I have so little time to devote to anything like that.â Sean said.
âDoes that mean youâre not getting any at all?â Brenda asked.
âNot since the winter, before the season really got into full swing. Off season, I usually get a couple groupies, and thatâs cool, but...â
âThatâs pretty terrible, using those girls.â
âCâmon, they have to know. They canât really think one of us on the team is going to settle down with them when we know that the whole rest of the team has fucked them too.â
âIt still sucks using someone that way.â
âWell, are you fucking anybody right now? Have you had anyone since the break up?â
Brenda was a little shocked that her younger brother would come right out and ask her that so indelicately. âWell, no.â
âDonât you get horny?â
Brenda blurted out a little too quickly: âNO!â In fact, Brenda had just been using her vibrator that afternoon, right before she picked Sean up. She could always get herself off, but it wasnât the same as having a man inside her, touching her. âYeah, okay, sometimes, but I try not to dwell on it. When the time is right, someone else will come along.â
