THE TEASER
Zach sat eating his lunch at the cafeteria, listening to Nick telling him things he already knew. Zach had learned that people like you better if you let them tell you things. Nick was telling Zach about the Show and Tell site.
"Don't open it where anybody can see you, because as soon as you hit the main page you're surrounded by pussy," Nick said. "Nothing but row after row of screenshot tiles. Naked girls spread and fingering themselves, fucking themselves with dildos, and some of them fucking themselves in the ass."
Zach looked around to make sure nobody was close enough to hear. This was all a bit much for a high school lunchroom, but there were only a few minutes left before bell, and they had the table to themselves. The tables on either side were empty. Nick was still talking.
"There's couples too; girls sucking a guy's cock; sitting on his face; eating out his ass. Guys fucking girls every which way; lesbians and threesomes. You can jerk off just looking at the front page, but when you pick one tile and click through, you're into live streaming video. They're actually doing it, right there, right at the moment."
Zach popped in with a question. People like you better if you ask questions when you're letting them tell you things you already know. "How much does it cost to watch? I can't pay membership fees. Every dollar I get from the Burger Buddy job goes straight to room and board. My parents started charging me the day I turned eighteen."
"Zach, man that sucks. I bet that was the evil stepmother's idea. But Show and Tell is free; no charge. Go into any room and watch all you like. The girls work for tips, but you only tip if you like what you see, or want the girl to do something special for you. There's usually a bunch of rich guys tipping like crazy, and you get to hang out and watch. But if you got twenty bucks handy, you can buy tipgeld and go wild. Some of the girls stop in the middle and won't go on until they get enough tips in."
"Geez, Nick. They sound like regular old whores. That's not my scene." Zach was wondering if Nick had found his way to the good stuff.
"Now listen. You're right, Zach, a lot of them are there just for the money and it shows. They're just going through the motions to make the paying customers happy. but some of the girls are there because they really get off on being watched. Sometimes they like watching guys stroke themselves at the same time. You'll always see a lot of those guys in the chat sidebar, typing 'I'm hard and ready. Watch me come for you.'"
Zach didn't say "I'm one of those guys."
Nick kept talking. "Y'know what's really neat? If the girl is there to get herself off, and she comes really hard, as soon as she catches her breath she'll reach up and turn off the cam. Because she wasn't faking. She really came. She wasn't putting on a show and faking it. She came and she was done playing and she wasn't hanging around to beg for more tips, so she just turned the cam off. She doesn't need to be there again until the next time she's horny and needs someone to watch her come."
Zach popped in with another question that he already knew the answer to. "How do I find the girls like that?"
"I found a trick. Hit the End key to get all the way to the bottom of the main screen, read through all the legal junk, and find 'site map'. Click on that, and you'll be at an index of subcategories. Most of them are age ranges, but there's one marked 'Exhibitionists' and those are the users who do it for free. Some are couples, and that's pretty cool, and some are guys, and those are all the guys who want the girls to watch them jerk off, and some are trans, but you can click through to just the women. That's your gold mine."
Zach didn't say it, but he was glad that Nick had finally started saying 'women' instead of 'girls'. It was more respectful that way, and all of them were over eighteen. Some of them way over eighteen. Which was pretty cool too.
"Listen." Nick was getting excited as he talked. Zach was glad the lunch table was hiding Nick's groin. He didn't want to know if Nick was getting a hard-on.
"Listen, Zach. There's this one woman, she's really special. Young like us, but totally ripe and ready. You never get to see her eyes, because she wears a TMNT mask, but you always know it's her because she's got a great big tattoo of a goat-man with a hard-on. It's on her right arm, just over her wrist. You can't miss it."
Zach didn't say "It's a satyr. Man up top, goat legs and hooves below. Greek mythology."
"Listen, Zach. She's hot. She's totally into getting off, completely focused. And she loves to watch guys jerking off to her. If you're really lucky, she'll pick you and watch your cam and she'll come when you come."
Zach didn't say "That's Brianna, my stepsister."
A MONTH EARLIER
Brianna marched out of her bedroom, snapped the door shut, turned left, walked six feet, and rapped on her brother's door. She was loud, she was forceful, she was assertive. She was wearing her 'Take Charge' attitude.
There was no response. She could hear a tinny sound of moaning, and a desk chair squeaking. She knocked harder, and kept it up. Her parents' bedroom was on the other side of the living room, with closed hall doors on both sides. They wouldn't hear her, but eventually Zachary would figure it out.
The tinny moans and groans stopped. She heard a laptop lid close, then the sound of the desk chair pushing back, and there was a pause. It was about as long as a person would need to pull his pants up, zip the zipper, and fasten his belt. She felt his footsteps move the floor under her feet as he walked to the door and opened it.
Zach was wearing his 'Bitch, This Better Be Important' attitude, with his arms crossed over his chest, his forearms and biceps and his neck were all tensed to show off his pumped wrestler's muscles. There was a pair of earbuds in his ears, and the cord was hanging down loose.
Brianna started talking before he could get a word in. "Those are NOT the headphones I gave you on our birthday."
"But I'm wearing earbuds. What difference does it make?"
"The difference is that the headphones I gave you seal completely around the ear. Those earbuds you're wearing let sound out. If you were wearing the headphones, you wouldn't hear me talking to you right now, and you wouldn't hear me knocking on your door, and I wouldn't be hearing the things YOU are listening to, and so we wouldn't be having this conversation."
Zach tried to interrupt, but she cut him off.
"Nope, don't try to talk your way around this one. That wall, right behind your desk, is MY bedroom wall, and it is the cheapest, thinnest construction the builders could get away with. Whatever happens in your bedroom gets through loud and clear to my bedroom, and I don't like it."
"You just don't like me," Zach whined. "Ever since I moved in, you've treated me like dirt."
"I don't hate you," Brianna answered. "But you haven't given me any reason to like you, either. Before you came, I was fine in this bedroom. I was fine in this house. It was just me and my mom. And we were happy."
