“Danny!” Rachael yelled, gazing in horror at the television. She turned to her brother with fury in her eyes. “You dirty little bastard!” She lunged forward on the couch and started hitting him around the arms. “I can’t believe you rented a porno!”
“I— ow! Stop it!” Danny did his best to try to block the blows his sister was landing on him with shocking frequency. “Ow! Stop
hitting
me.”
Rachael relented for the moment, lowering her fist and glaring irately at her brother. “You rented a porno you sick pervert!”
“I didn’t
know
,” Danny protested, flinching back as his sister raised her clenched fist again.
“Yeah right!” she snapped.
“I swear - I didn’t know it was porn. Look at the cover.” He pointed at the DVD cover resting on the floor beside the television, his other arm still hovering protectively around his face, ready to deflect any further blows.
Rachel continued to glare at him through narrowed eyes. Eventually her suspicion abated and she glanced towards the discarded cover. She stood up and crossed the room to pick it up. She fixed it with the same narrow-eyed gaze she’d used on her brother.
“Sleepless in Seattle,” she read out, then turned to look, now with curious distrust, at Danny. “Why did you rent this?”
Danny shrugged. “I thought you’d like it.”
“I’ve seen it before.”
“I know.”
Rachael narrowed her eyes even further. “Why would you borrow a movie that I like and you don’t?”
“I never said I didn’t like it.”
“But it wouldn’t be your first choice.”
“Well…no.”
“So why’d you get it?”
“I told you: I thought you’d like it.”
Still, Rachael’s expression oozed suspicion. Was she expecting him to have planted a bomb inside the cover? “You rented a movie for me…even though you wanted something else?”
“Ah…I guess so.”
“Why would you do that?”
Danny shrugged. “I was being nice.”
“Nice?” Rachael exclaimed. “You’re never nice to me.”
“That’s not true,” Danny protested.
“Oh, yeah,” Rachael replied, walking back to the couch and sitting down. “What about the other night when I was going out with my friends and you told me my skirt made my ass look big?” She fixed him with a penetrating gaze.
“I said that?” Danny inquired.
“Yes!”
“Well, I say a lot of things. You don’t have to take them all so seriously.”
“So you didn’t mean it?” Rachael asked, her voice losing its edge.
Danny raised his eyebrows and pretended to hesitate in a definite attempt to irritate his sister. “Well, I…”
Rachael leapt forward, her body crushing Danny’s against the couch. Danny leaned back, his head on the armrest, and stared up at her. Rachael seized his wrists. “See!” she exclaimed. “You’re so mean to me.”
“I was
kidding
!”
Rachael’s eyes narrowed dubiously. “Were you really?”
“Yes!”
“Promise?”
“Yes!”
Rachael’s eyes narrowed further. “You better be telling the truth,” she said, and rolled off him. Danny took a deep breath and sat up straight, his ribs aching. He rubbed them with his hand.
“You want me to change the movie?” he asked Rachael.
“No, leave it on,” she replied.
Danny goggled at his sister. “Are you crazy?”
“No,” said Rachael, “I want to watch it.”
Danny stared at her in disbelief. “Well, I’m not watching a porno with my sister.” He stood up to leave, but Rachael grabbed his wrist and yanked him down on the couch again.
“Yes, you are,” she said. “You rented it, now you have to watch it with me.”
“Why?”
“Because I said so.”
Danny stared at Rachael, utterly bewildered, but thought it futile to try and leave. The porno
was
exciting, and there was something about watching it with his sister that made it even more so. He fixed his eyes on the screen. The noise the man and woman were making on in the movie made up for Danny and Rachael’s silence. Eventually, Rachael spoke.
“You really didn’t rent this?” she asked.
“Of course not,” Danny replied.
Rachael adjusted her position on the couch and hugged herself with her arms. “I’m cold,” she said.
“You want a blanket?” Danny asked.
“Yes, please.”
Danny left the room and returned with a woollen blanket, which he draped over his sister. “Thanks,” she said. She wrapped it around herself and laid down, her legs reaching the end of the couch.
“Where am I supposed to sit?” Danny asked, wondering if he should be taking this opportunity to leave.
“You can lie down with me,” Rachael replied.
“I’m not lying down with you,” said Danny.
“Don’t be such a baby” said Rachel. She wriggled forward and looked up at her brother expectantly. Her eyes were a metallic blue when bathed in the light from the television. Danny could almost make out the reflection of the couple having sex in them. He sighed and walked over to the couch, climbing over Rachael to lie down behind her.
“What are you doing?” Rachael asked.
“Huh?”
“Why are you facing the back of the couch? Turn around and watch the movie.”
“Uh…I ‘d better not,” Danny replied.
“Why not?”
“Because…”
“Because why?”
“Just because,” Danny said, and then Rachael twigged.
“Are you hard?” she asked, looking at him with something like surprise and something like curiosity.
“What?” Danny asked, startled.
“Are you hard?” Rachael repeated.
“You can’t ask me that,” Danny replied, almost impressed by her candidness.
“Why not?” said Rachael.
“Because you’re my sister.”
“Exactly. So you shouldn’t be embarrassed. Come on, turn around.”
Danny sighed heavily and rolled over, so that he was facing the television. “Whoa,” Rachael exclaimed. “Somebody’s happy to see me.”
“Shut up,” Danny replied. His cock wasn’t even touching her. Rachael giggled.
“Don’t be such a prude,” she said.
“I’m not a prude,” Danny protested.
“Then move forward,” said Rachael.
“No.” Rachael wriggled backwards until Danny was squashed between her body and the couch. She could feel his erection pressed firmly between her ass cheeks. “Rachael!” Danny cried.
“See,” said Rachael,” you
are
a prude.”
