Danielle knew how lucky she was. For the second year in a row, she spent her summer at her mom and stepfather's lake house in Minnesota while working at the marina and serving at a popular restaurant. For most of the summer, she lived by herself. Her family would come up for the weekend a couple of times a month, and they didn't mind if she had friends visit sometimes too. Danielle knew she had it good, so she understood when her mom called her that day with a change of plans.
"No, of course, I don't mind, mom. Austin is my stepbrother, and this is yours and dad's house." Danielle said as her mother explained the situation.
"He and Rachel have been having problems, so he's asked to stay there for a few weeks. He'll be working a lot, so I'm sure he won't bother you."
"Seriously, mom. Stop. It's fine; I'm looking forward to seeing him."
"I love you, sweetie."
"Love you, too, mom."
Danielle wasn't concerned at all about Austin staying there. She liked him, even if she didn't know him that well. She was eight, and he was fifteen when their parents married, and he was off to college by the time she was a sixth-grader. He met Rachel, his wife, their first year at the University of Wisconsin, and he never lived with their family again. He and Rachel would visit Christmas and occasionally come to the lake house. Danielle liked Rachel and, arguably, knew her better than Austin. She was sad that they were having problems. She was looking forward to seeing him.
Later that afternoon, Danielle walked home from her job at the marina with her friend Emma and was almost at her house when a silver Toyota pulled up and rolled down its window.
"Hi Danielle," the driver called across the passenger seat through the open window.
Danielle grinned. "Hey you!" she said, recognizing her brother behind the wheel. "Pull into the driveway and give me a hug!"
Austin's car pulled into the driveway as Danielle and Emma walked behind and waited for him to get out. He stood up and walked toward them with a big smile. He looked exactly as he always did, tall in height, with wavy sandy-brown hair, and was physically fit. He was wearing shorts and a tee-shirt from a bank-sponsored 5K.
"Your brother is gorgeous!" Emma whispered in Danielle's ear.
"Yeah, he is," Danielle replied. "I guess he and his wife are having problems."
"Sad," Emma said, still whispering. "Maybe I can help." She had a mischievous grin.
"Down, girl!" Danielle chuckled, giving her friend a playful shove. She walked toward her brother with her arms wide open, awaiting his hug.
Austin felt some tension leave his body as he walked up to his sister, giving her a tight hug. "I'm so happy I'm here!" He held the hug for a few minutes and then backed off to introduce himself to Dani's friend.
"I'm Austin," He said, holding out his hand to a tiny girl, who he guessed was a bit younger than his sister's twenty years old. She was beautiful, standing about 5'4", hair the color of coffee with a hint of cream, and a nice body. Both girls were wearing bikini tops and cutoffs.
"Emma," the girl said, offering her hand with a wide smile.
"Nice to meet you, Emma," Austin said, returning the smile.
"Emma was just walking with me," Danielle said, "We finished up at our day job at the marina, and both of us have to get ready for the dinner crowd at the restaurant." She said. Let's go inside and catch up, though. I have a little time." She looked at her friend. "See you later, Emma."
Emma gave a smile and a wave. "I'll pick you up, so we don't have to walk," She said, looking at Danielle and then smiling at Austin, "I hope to see you soon, Austin!"
"Me too." He returned the smile and then followed his sister into the house.
"She's flirty," Austin said as they walked in the door.
"You have no idea," Danielle laughed, "watch out for that one!" She laughed.
It had been a couple of years since Austin and been at the lake house, but it didn't look to have changed much. It had some lake house charms, but it was really more of a functional home. His stepmother had incredible fashion sense, so there were no stuffed fish on the wall or any usual tropes. Danielle led him to a couch with a perfect view. They both sat down.
"I'm so glad you're here, Austin!" Danielle smiled at him.
"Me too, I needed a place to clear my head, and I couldn't have picked a better place or," he made eye contact, "better company than my little sister."
Danielle smiled, and they settled into the usual small talk and catching up.
They talked for about an hour when Danielle realized that she was running late to get ready for work. "Make yourself at home," She said "I think you know where everything is, right?"
"Yep, I've got it. Go, we'll talk more later."
Austin went out of the car to get his bags while Danielle went off to get ready. He found the office area, put his laptop and work stuff down, and then brought his clothes to his bedroom. The house had four bedrooms plus the office, making it quite large. After seeing it again, he didn't feel bad about intruding on Danielle's privacy. They could easily stay out of each other's way. His room was upstairs at the end of the hall, while Danielle's was the room next to his. They shared a bathroom. When he got into his room, he saw that Danielle hadn't closed the door when she went to take her shower. He could see her clearly and utterly naked through the shower door. He looked longer than he should have and then quietly closed the door, hoping she hadn't noticed. One thing that wasn't in doubt, his sister was gorgeous. He always knew that, of course, watching her the few years they grew up together and seeing her over the years, but it was true now. When the two girls had greeted him in the driveway, he found Emma an adorable girl, but Danielle was a beautiful woman. He couldn't help but notice her perfectly round C cup breasts in the bikini top, but seeing them through the shower door was even more exciting. Austin could see her long blonde hair wet from the shower and her toned body and flat stomach in the shower. He tried putting that out of his mind as he went downstairs and left Danielle to get ready for work.
"Ok, bye, Austin," Danielle said as she walked out the door, "I should be back around 11:00." She stopped, turned around, and approached him as he sat on the couch. He saw a look in her eyes, and he wondered if she knew that he had seen her in the shower. She kissed him on the forehead and headed out the door again.
Rather than wait for Emma, who was always late, Danielle decided to walk the two blocks to the restaurant. Being a Friday night, it would be busy, and she hoped it wouldn't be too bad of a shift. Austin had told her all about his problems with Rachel and that she had been having an affair, and she felt terrible for him. He had said that he found out by walking in on them in their bed. Danielle couldn't even imagine. Danielle had seen him watching her in the shower, but he probably hadn't seen a naked woman in a while, so she didn't mind. She thought to herself; the other thing was that Austin never quite felt like a brother, more like a family friend or cousin. It was probably the age difference and the timing of their parent's marriage. In any case, she wasn't bothered at all that he had seen her. After he had closed the door, she had fingered herself to orgasm with the warm water flowing over her. It was hot, but probably best he didn't see that. She laughed to herself.
Austin tried to put seeing his sister naked out of his mind, but he couldn't. He texted some friends telling him where he was and got in some conversations that distracted him, but the image was still with him. He finally decided to relieve his tension, closed the back curtains, turned on the TV, and looked for some porn to stream from his phone. Austin stripped down to his boxers and put on a scene about a brother and his stepsister. He felt a little gross thinking about it, but he was horny and figured, what the fuck? He glanced at the time and saw it was only 9:15, he knew Danielle would be home around 11:00, but he knew it wouldn't take him that long to get off.
Austin chose a scene to watch that he thought was ridiculous, but the pornstar was cute, and he was horny. The premise had the girl sitting down on the couch with her brother and, through some machinations, started playing with each other. The girl started stroking the man's cock while he fingered her pussy, clearly wet. Austin pulled down his boxers and began rubbing hardening cock.
"Ok, so it's not too busy tonight. Who wants to go home?" Said Mitch, Danielle's manager at the restaurant.
Danielle had made a few large tips and thought it might be nice to go home and visit with Austin some more, so she replied, "I will."
"Thanks, Danielle," Mitch responded, "Have a great night!"
The one thing about living and working in a tourist town was that Danielle never felt unsafe walking home by herself. She sometimes wondered if that was naΓ―ve, but she didn't think so and did it more often than not. When Danielle got home, she was about to put her key in the front door when she heard voices and sex sounds? She figured she was imagining things, turned the key, and opened the door. She didn't know what she was expecting but what she saw wasn't it.
"Oh my God!" Danielle yelled, "Holy shit, Austin!"
