The next morning, Maddy woke up at six o'clock on the dot.
Her sheets were drenched from the waves of orgasm she'd ridden last night after Elliot had gone to bed. One glance at her sticky fingers was enough to confirm Maddy's suspicions that she'd continued jilling off in her sleep.
The salty taste of cum still lingered in her mouth, exciting her senses. It was almost enough to set Maddy off again. She fantasized about staying home and riding that peak of desire until she was a spent, raw mess tangled in the bed sheets.
But Maddy had finals. And she really needed to focus.

One ice-cold shower later, and that flame of desire had been dampened to a manageable amount. Instead of focusing on Elliot, she spent the rest of her morning cramming for her pre-calculus exam. But after blazing through a dozen or so practice problems, Maddy stopped to look at the answer key and frowned. Her score was just not high enough.
At around seven-thirty, Eleanor walked into the dining room where Maddy sat hunched over her textbooks.
"That's my little star." Eleanor grinned at her daughter as she set about making the morning coffee.
Maddy just grunted in response, head clasped in her hands.
"Oh, don't give yourself a headache, honey," Eleanor tutted. "You'll ace it as always, Madeline."
Maddy swallowed uncomfortably. She really hoped it was true.

Two hours later, Maddy was half-way through her first test of the week with over half the questions still to answer. Worse still, the effects of the cold shower had all but worn off. She was plagued by intermittent flashes of Elliot's cock plunging into her inviting mouth, making her squirm in her seat even as she tried her best to focus on the task at hand.
She kept glancing at the ticking clock which ominously counted down to her doom. But even the time pressure wasn't enough to keep thoughts of her brother out of her head. She wondered if he had been as affected by the previous night as she had been? Had he woken up with a hard-on so thick it hurt and jerked himself off yearning for his sister? Maddy noted he hadn't come down from his bedroom before she left for school.
The math instructor eyed Maddy as she shifted restlessly. She just averted her gaze and did her best to stare down at her test. But she barely saw the packet of paper, just the image of her brother moaning as he unloaded his seed into his own sister.
Fuck! Get a grip, Maddy!
Discipline had never been an issue before her obsession with Elliot. Not before she'd nurtured that dark desire and let it grow and fester as it had over the past few weeks. She'd always been able to separate her sexual desires from her life when required. But now... Maddy was genuinely afraid she hadn't spent enough time studying recently. It was starting to sink in just how much time over the past month she'd spent teasing, lying, and manipulating. All just to get a taste of brother-cock.
Maddy let out a sigh, letting her pencil work almost automatically across the page.
I'm just getting in my own head
, Maddy decided.
I have to be.
It seemed like no time at all had passed before the bell rang and Maddy had to turn in her test. For the first time in her high school career, Maddy was unsure whether she'd passed.

"What the hell, Madeline?!" Eleanor's normally pretty face was stretched taut, mouth agape in horrific disbelief. "Can you
please
explain how this could have happened?"
Maddy just sank into the couch, staring at her toes, her face red with shame.
"Some of these finals you barely made a C grade on! I mean, what happened to you?!"
"I know, Mom."
"Then you know how big of a deal this is!" Eleanor sighed, shaking her head in disbelief. "Your scholarship to Yale depended on your GPA. How are we supposed to pay for that now?"
"I-I don't know." Maddy's voice was barely louder than a whisper. She had never felt so out of control before.
Eleanor just made a noise with the back of her throat as she gave her daughter a long, hard look.
"You just had to not screw up this week. One job." With that, Eleanor strutted out of the room, leaving Maddy to melt into the couch in defeat.
The remainder of the school week after Monday's pre-calculus final had been similarly disastrous for Maddy. Inability to focus plagued her. And intrusive thoughts about Elliot made her almost unbearably horny when she was supposed to be taking her exams.
To make it worse, Elliot had avoided her all week. She'd barely even seen a glimpse of him. Between him taking dinner in his room or coming home late after everyone else had gone to bed, they'd been in the same room only once or twice in the past week, and even then for no more than a few seconds. It was all too convenient to be a coincidence. And it drove Maddy crazy wondering what Elliot's motives were for avoiding her, especially after the experience he'd had in her mouth.
By the time Friday rolled around, Maddy was more frustrated than ever, and she knew her exam performances were dipping. Still, Elliot found ways to avoid his sister. And Maddy was starting to wonder if something was wrong with her.
When the grades came in on Saturday, Eleanor was furious, but so was Maddy. Not at her mom, not at Elliot, nor at anyone else. She was furious at herself, sure that she'd managed to go and ruin her own life.
For what? A childish, incestual fantasy?
I'm a loser.
Maddy sank further into the couch, unable to summon the willpower to move her body even a single inch. Despair overtook her and she cursed the fact that there was still an aching warmth in her core, yet to be satisfied.
I'm just a sad, stupid, little slut.
Her mom probably thought so. Maddy could tell by Eleanor's tone of voice that Maddy's "boy trouble" from earlier that week was going to come up again. Elliot definitely thought his sister was a slut, at least subconsciously. Somehow, Maddy was the last person to truly see the truth about herself.
"Maddy? What's wrong?" Elliot's soft, deep voice echoed from across the room. He stood at the door and unslung his backpack, his face shadowed with concern.
"I-it's nothing." Maddy stiffened, not wanting Elliot to see her in this state. "Just a long day."
"C'mon, don't give me that shit, Mads." He sat down beside her on the couch, and Maddy had the sudden urge to throw herself against Elliot and hold him tight. To snuggle against his chest and sob into his shirt, hugging him for comfort. But she resisted.
"It's finals stuff," Maddy admitted. "I... I didn't do so well."
"What?" Elliot looked genuinely confused. In all his life, Maddy had always been the academic superstar. That was simply a given. "I'm sure it can't be that bad."
Tears sprung to Maddy's eyes now as she shook her head and said, "No, it really, really is. I could lose my scholarship."
