"You know, I could make passionate love to you and no one would ever suspect a thing," I whispered in Erin's ear.
She hadn't heard me approach her from behind. She put a hand on mine as I began to massage her shoulders gently. She smiled as soon as she heard my voice.
"That's what you always keep promising me, Jeff." She said. She then turned and gave me a big hug.
"Ah, isn't that nice. You two were always so close. It's great to see all of us together again." We both looked toward the sound of our mother's voice.
Well, actually it was my mother and Erin's stepmother. My dad was killed in a training exercise while in the military before I was born. Most folks don't realize that more soldiers are killed in training than during war; they are still patriots nonetheless.
Erin's father was a friend of my dads. Her parents divorced after her mother couldn't take all the travel associated with military life. She just ran off with another guy and abandoned the both of them.
So although Erin and I weren't technically blood related, we were brother and sister since infancy. We also were real close in a best friend sense. I guess since we weren't biological siblings, the natural attraction instincts between those of the opposite sex remained intact. It's almost like biological siblings have some sort of built-in gene to prevent that sort of thing that we didn't have.
As a result, Erin was my first kiss. Hers was the first pussy I ever saw and likewise she watched my dick grow through puberty.
Oh, don't think we fucked our way through puberty. We didn't. It was always show and tell or teasing. It never went any further.
Even though we weren't biologically related, our parents would have killed us. In their eyes, we were siblings in every sense of the word. It was both a blessing and a curse for the both of us.
I wanted to kiss a girl so bad during those pre-pubescent years. Sensing this, Erin teased me until I planted a kiss on her lips after she dared me. We both learned how to kiss from each other after that. We were fearful our parents would catch us swallowing each other's tongue though.
That's as far as it went for the most part. Oh, I got to see her pussy and breasts because she was proud of the way they developed. I reciprocated by letting her see my dick as it grew and especially when my pubic hair sprouted.
I guess it was the fear that our parents would find out that prevented us from fucking. It was the only obstacle.
Well, then we both got married. That would be another obstacle.
For the first few years of marriage to our spouses, we didn't play the, "you know I could fuck you," game as much. But with each holiday visit to mom and dads, we caught ourselves teasing like we always did.
I don't know if it was the result of pure fantasy from childhood or the realization that because we were technically siblings, no one would seriously suspect an attraction that went beyond that of simple sibling love.
Whichever the case, we were flirting. Only now we weren't kids and while everyone thought our hugs, smiles and touches were innocent affection -- no one heard our whispers and no one noticed the unspoken passion that passed between us. At least, I thought something passed between us lately.
"You should stop teasing me." I whispered to Erin.
"Who's teasing?" she whispered back.
"We're all going down to the mall." Our mom said over our whispers.
"Who?" I asked.
"Everyone has something they need to pick up. You guys need anything?" Mom untied her apron and headed for the door. Sure enough, our parents and spouses along with my aunt and a cousin all wanted to go shopping.
I looked at Erin then back at mom and a group of family headed for the door.
"There's too many for your van, mom." I said.
"We can take two cars." She replied.
"You know, Jeff can help me get the suitcases out of the car. I'll put him to work." Erin said. She then kissed her husband.
"You sure its ok if we go without you?" mom and Erin's husband almost said in unison.
"I don't want him to go. He'll keep me from spending money." My wife added then pulled Erin's husband along with her. Suddenly, for the first time in years -- we were in the house where we grew up - alone.
"It takes 30 minutes to get to the mall then 30 minutes to get back. We've got an hour or two at least to kill." Erin said.
"What are you suggesting?" I asked.
"Hmmm?" Erin walked to her bedroom. I followed.
"Come on Erin. Don't play games."
"Who's playing?"
I walked into her room. It was a little odd. She had pink teddy bears and such. Just like a teenager, but we weren't teens anymore. Two adults in a room that looked like a teenage schoolgirl seemed out of place or like time had stood still there.
She closed the door. I heard a click.
"Seriously, Erin."
"I am serious."
"About what? Teasing? Like we always do?"
"Nope. I've decided." Erin said. She stood in front of me and touched a button on the front of my shirt. She stared at the button.
