Author's Notes:
All characters in the story are 18 and older. This is a story about incest between a brother and a sister. If that's not what you are here for, I suggest you not read any further. Also, to understand what is going on, I recommend starting from chapter 1 if you just found this story.
I would also like to thank cbears52 for his help and encouragement. Thank you! And, 1moeannie who has had to take a break from editing. You will be missed. Thank you! Writersblock22 is taking over from here and things are now moving again. Sorry for the long wait between chapters.
To all my readers and followers, I hope you enjoy it.
Happy reading!
Chapter 3
"What the hell is wrong with her?" I questioned Dad, unable to sort out the tangle of emotions on Mom's face.
"I don't know, but it can't be good. Let's go before she comes back more pissed off, if that's even possible."
Following my dad, I assured myself that there was no feasible way Annie told Mom about us, she was sleeping on the couch just before Dad, and I went into his office. Even so, the long hallway that led back to the living area from Dad's office suddenly seemed shorter than I remembered as I walked in behind him, bracing myself for whatever had Mom so worked up.
"Do you see this?" Mom whispered, pointing at Annie, who was still fast asleep on the chesterfield.
"Umm, yes," Dad answered, squinting his eyes and tilting his head slightly to the side.
"Then who in the hell is in Annie's bed under the covers, giggling and, from the sounds of it, having sex?"
"What are you talking about?" I yelled out, making sure to wake Annie up and, hopefully, loud enough for Dani and Dylan to hear. It was all that I could think of doing under the gun.
"What the shit, Alex?" Annie popped her head up in a panic.
"Why are you yelling?" Mom scowled at me.
"What? I didn't yell," I replied, knowing damn well that I yelled.
"Yes, you did....," Mom paused, searching for what to say. "I think Dani and Dylan are in your bed making out and having sex under the covers."
"Bullshit! I don't believe you, and why were you in my room?" Annie demanded, knowing this was bad, really bad.
"I just went in to put your clean clothes on your dresser," Mom said defensively. "I made sure I was quiet so I didn't wake you, and when I heard the noises, I promptly left, assuming you and Dylan were fooling around. That was until I came back in here and saw you asleep on the couch," She explained as she paced back and forth in front of them.
"I still don't believe you. I'm going to see this myself," Annie jumped up off the couch and stomped loudly down the hall.
We all followed Annie toward her bedroom door like ants in a line. I stayed back a few steps just in case they didn't hear my yelling or Annie's stomping and the shit hit the fan. It wasn't much of a clue that our mother had caught them, but it was all we could do with the circumstances. Please, please, please don't be fucking, I thought as Annie burst through the door.
"What the fuck is going on in here, and where is Dani?" Annie grilled Dylan.
"Excuse me?" I heard Dylan respond as if she'd just accused him of having a third eye. I poked my head between Mom and Dad as soon as I caught up so I could scan the room for Dani's presence. There was no sign of her.
"Where is Dani?" Annie repeated, keeping her back to us and putting her hands on her hips. "Don't make me ask you again!"
"I don't know. Why are you treating me like this?" Dylan demanded as he sat up in the bed.
"Why is everyone yelling?" We heard Dani ask from behind us as she stepped out of my room and into the hallway.
You could clearly see the frustration and confusion on Mom's face as she caught sight of Dani coming out of MY room. She had accused them of fooling around, and she was mistaken from the looks of things. Even so, I could see the wheels turning behind her now perplexed expression, and I knew she wouldn't let it go that easy. There was an explanation, and Mom would get to the bottom of it.
"I -- I came in here and heard you two having sex under the covers," Mom stammered.
That accusation succeeded in sending everyone but me into a shouting match, and with them all yelling at each other, you couldn't understand what any of them were saying. It was madness, and emotions were running high.
"I WAS JERKING OFF!" Dylan screamed at the top of his lungs.
The usual, 'what did you say?' when someone hollers out something absurd never came. All you could hear was the sounds of them trying to catch their breath from their verbal warfare.
"I was watching a sex video of Annie and me that we made. She was on her period the entire week before she left, and finals were before that." He rambled on quickly while turning red. "We just haven't had sex in a while," He finally shrugged sheepishly. I was impressed. Dylan had me convinced, and I knew better!
"Oh my! I'm so sorry that you had to say that, Dylan. I'm genuinely embarrassed for accusing you of such an unspeakable act. If everyone will please excuse me, I'm going to go and... I don't know what I'm going to do, but-- I'm... so sorry," Mom struggled to get the last part out and started her walk of shame down the hall toward the kitchen.
I felt awful for Mom. She was correct in her assumption, but the moment she decided not to question them under the covers when she saw Annie sleeping on the couch was her downfall. Protecting Dani and Dylan was my number one priority. Without them, Annie's plan wouldn't work, we needed them.
