Chapter 1
Chase
I leaned back in my office chair and cracked my knuckles. I felt a subtle pain in my lower back. I had been sitting for way too long, and it was time for a break. I pulled the curtains aside, letting natural light stream into my bedroom.
I lived in Orange County with my mother and older sister. I was currently studying software engineering, which kept me busy most of the day. Otherwise, I loved working out. As of late, I barely had any free time at all, and it was a miracle I still found time to go to the gym. I knew that the upcoming months would be rough since my family at the moment wasn't in the best financial situation. I was already doing side gigs to help out the family.
I opened the window to let in some fresh air. I looked at the beautiful view of rolling hills and valleys, and behind me were the sandy beaches that stretched for miles along the coastline. This house provided a stunning view and cost us a fortune, but I was fearful it would be taken away from us soon.
I tried not to think of our setbacks and looked down at our garden. My mouth opened when I spotted my mother in a tight, pink leotard, showing off her curves and fit body. She'd styled her hair in a neat bun at the nape of her neck, secured with hairpins. Her makeup was minimal. She had a natural rosy blush on her cheeks and natural pink lips that enhanced her smile. Standing five feet eleven, she was voluptuous with a nice bust and round bottom. She was only thirty-eight, but could easily be mistaken to be a decade younger. She was gorgeous. Painfully gorgeous. I felt bad admitting it, and I felt sick whenever I stared at her more than what was considered necessary.
She lifted her leg all the way to her head, exposing her butt cheeks and sacred region as she twirled around on her foot. I loved watching her dance and would sneak peek whenever I found the time and opportunity. I always kept telling myself to stop, but I couldn't. She was irresistible, and I was drawn to her like a baby hungry for milk. She did some other stretches, moving into poses I had only seen in my wildest sexual imagination. She did the forward bend, bending forward at her waist and reaching her toes with her hands. She flashed me her full moon and the delicious crack in the garment. She sat down, extending her legs into a wide straddle position. With a straight back, she leaned forward from the hips, reaching toward one foot and then the other.
I wasn't even touching myself, but I shivered with pleasure. I lost myself in her moves, dreaming that she peeled off her clothes and performed nude. I vividly imagined her in her natural state with no garments veiling her flesh. I wanted to plunge my head between her legs and taste her flower.
Slowly but surely, I pitched a tent to her, and I asked myself whether I should do something I hadn't done before.
"Knock, knock," Savannah, my older sister, said before stepping into my bedroom. She popped my taboo bubble.
I whirled around, looking like a deer caught in headlights. "What's the point of knocking if you just bust in?" I asked her with hints of annoyance. I quickly plopped down onto my chair, shifting to hide my bulge.
Dressed in a bathing suit and wearing the scent of the ocean, Savannah was a younger and slimmer version of my mother. She was two years older than me with bright blonde hair and high cheekbones that reddened like apples whenever she laughed. Her heart-shaped lips had triggered many taboo dreams as well. My latest sexual dream, which I desperately tried to forget, featured her sucking my rod till I woke up with cum splashed all over me.
She placed her hand on her hip. "Ugh, are you deaf? I shouted for you when I walked up the stairs."
My eyes swept over her. Having a sun-like complexion from being outdoors all the time, she looked the sexiest whenever she came home from surfing. Her red bathing suit had a deep V-neck that reached her belly button and exposed her cleavage. A light clue of her camel toe showed at the apex of the V-shape where her powerful thighs met her pussy.
I didn't answer her, and she strode to the window, bringing the briny scent of the sea with her. She placed her hands on the window sill and bent over. "Why are you perving on Mom?" she asked flirtatiously.
"Savannah, shut up."
"Easy there, little brother," she said, giving me a look. "Why are you mad?"
"Nothing," I said. It was far from the truth. She could joke a lot, but I wasn't in the mood. Our situation had gone downhill lately.
"Can I sit on your bed... I'm not wet."
I cocked my head to the right. "What?"
"My bathing suit and hair are dry," she said, blinking. "I won't make a dirty mess on your bed."
I shook the taboo thoughts out of my head. "Sure, sit."
"It's been a crazy month," she said, placing her elbow on her knee and propping up her chin with her hand. Her lustrous, blonde hair fell in front of her.
"Tell me about it," I said and looked at the wall instead. A couple of months ago our father was arrested for fraud. He was currently in jail, so we had to sort ourselves out. We had to sell off most of our assets, including our car to make ends meet. We were all devastated, especially Mom who'd never had a career.
My father was a fifty-year-old investor and lawyer. He'd met our mother when she was working as a waitress. They'd married shortly after and Dad had promised her that she would never have to work again. She could just enjoy life and take care of the children. Mom had fallen for his charm quickly, and Dad's promise had been kept till now.
The fraud was worse than we thought, and lie after lie had been discovered. He'd run a Ponzi scheme and fooled investors. Mom had demanded a divorce as soon as she'd found out. Despite all that drama, Mom was slowly recovering, but the financial insecurity was still our main problem.
"It's weird how everything can switch so suddenly," Savannah said. "It was all sunshine and roses till the world flipped upside down."
"We have to make the best out of the situation," I said.
"The mortgage of this house is no joke," she reminded me. "Rent is through the roof, so I'm not sure how I'm supposed to move out."
I was the only one of them who had a well-paid job at the moment, but it was just a side gig. I had debated whether I should drop out and focus on work, helping Mom out till she was in a better position. I knew she was looking for a job, but I wasn't sure if she'd found any yet. She certainly should be able to land something fancy when taking her looks into consideration. She could use her beauty, maybe as a model or so, but it would take time to be discovered.
"What about your friends?" I asked her. Savannah was a popular girl with her charm and beauty. Unlike myself, she'd been dating since she was sixteen.
"They are in the same boat," she said. "It's a jungle out there... What about yourself? Have you found a girl yet?"
"That's the farthest thing from my mind," I told her. "My plates are full... studies and work."
"You seriously haven't found a girl yet?" she asked, arching an eyebrow.
I was tall and physically fit, so I understood her reaction. "I said no."
"What happened to Ashley?"
"I broke up. She was too whiny."
"That was like half a year ago. What have you been doing all this time, masturbating?"
I gave her a look.
"I would have easily lined up for you."
I gave her another look.
"Chill, I'm joking," she said, flashing me one of her gorgeous smiles. "Mom said yesterday the bank would have taken our crib if it hadn't been for you."
"That's true," I said. Mom had refused my help at first, but I had talked her into it. I didn't tell her that I used my savings just to make her feel better.
"That's the reason I wanted to talk to you," she said. "I appreciate what you are doing... When Mom told me that I was like, Thank God for having you."
"You're welcome," I said, scratching my neck.
"Can I give you a hug?"
"Of course," I said, knowing it came from her heart.
I rose simultaneously with her, and she fell into my arms like a missing puzzle piece. I was five inches taller than her. It wasn't Savannah who was short but just me who was six-foot-four. Having grown up with a handsome father, I had inherited some of his genes. He'd also fed us well when we grew up, not stunting our growth.
I wrapped my arms around Savannah's back as she mashed her lovely tits against my chest. I stiffened. She'd never given me such an intimate hug before, holding onto me dearly. I didn't know where to place my hands at first. It felt like every spot on her back was a sexual landmine which her bathing suit did little to cover. Her warm, sweet breath descended my neck, sending a shiver down my spine. I heard the beat of her heart and her soft breathing. Suddenly, it felt as if time stood still.
She broke the hug, looking me in the eyes for a brief moment. "How do you find time to hit the gym?" she asked, tracing my shoulder and bicep.
"I sometimes ask myself the same," I said and questioned if she'd hugged me that intimately just to get near me.
Letting go of me completely, she said, "Mom wanted me to tell you that dinner's up in an hour."
"Alright. I'll finish some code and join you."
She strode out of my bedroom and my eyes were fixed on her bottom till she disappeared down the stairs.
*****
"Chase!" Mom called from downstairs.
"I'm here!"
"Dinner's ready!"
I sighed in relief. I had finished the programming gig and would have time to finish my homework after I'd eaten. I jumped to my feet and headed downstairs.
I was greeted by the savory scent of pot roast. Wearing her hair in loose waves, Mom carried the dish to the terrace. "We'll sit outside," she said. She was wearing a flowery summer dress with a plunging V-neck and spaghetti straps. It showcased her perfect hourglass figure along with her round bottom and busty breasts. She was well-endowed in every way possible, and I shouldn't be so harsh on myself when finding her so sexually attractive. Even if I kept telling myself it was wrong.
Savannah was already seated, wearing a crop top and a skirt. She patted the seat next to her, and I settled down. Setting the pot roast onto the table, Mom leaned forward to the point her boobs were on the verge of falling out. I averted from the sight and caught Savannah grinning in my direction. Thankfully, Mom didn't notice.
"What have you been up to?" Mom asked me after we'd filled our plates with the meat and roasted veggies.
My temperature spiked every time I saw Mom's genuine smile and lovely, blue eyes. Savannah had inherited every ounce of Mom's beauty, from her high cheekbones to her velvety skin. "I finished up a gig."
"I see," Mom said. "I hope you weren't dealing with any annoying clients."
"I get those from time to time," I said.
"And you, Savannah?" Mom asked.
"Work and then hit the waves with my friends," she said, taking a bite from the juicy chuck roast.
"My children... I want more details."
