Prof: All persons engaged in sexual conduct are 18 years of age. This story probably won't make much sense without reading previous chapters. Ch. 1 is the intro to an XXX-rated romantic comedy about a brother and sister. Ch. 2 is a transition into what this story is about (see title). After a lot of sweat, because its summer and I don't have air conditioning, here's Ch. 3: The beginning of Katie & T's world.

Chapter 3: Fuck, Marry, Kill
October 30th/ 31st, 2010
For the first time in history, Katie and T were acting like other siblings. An unpleasant vibe had replaced their usual sexual tension. The time they did spend together was missing an easiness they had built over the years. Neither had been purposely avoiding the other, rather life seemed to take over naturally. As was the case for any kind of relationship, their lack of communication caused more distance to accumulate.
Katie had been making the rounds when it came to her 'boyfriend's family. Introductions had been made to prove she existed and that maybe Alex was straight. All she would need to do from then on was making appearances as his date for some special occasions. It was pretty easy for her to have a pretend relationship, even with her lack of experience with the real thing. Ironically, the few times she had to kiss him, always with an audience, she found it like kissing her brother; while she found kissing her brother to be much more satisfying.
Katie and T were both ready to end the issues they were having and get back to the old them. Naturally, Katie had a plan for the night, starting with making up with her brother. T beat her to it. He knocked on her open bedroom door with a sorry look on his face. She looked up from her book, already smiling.
"Can we talk?" he asked.
Sitting up, crossing her legs on her bed, she said, "That would be much, much, better than whatever the hell we've been doing lately."
He closed her door, turned around to face her, and stood in the middle of the room, nervously. She wore PJ pants with a t-shirt and her dark hair up in a ponytail. Somehow Katie managed to slip easily between sex goddess and adorable little sister whenever she wanted. He was thankful she was the latter at that moment.
"C'mon," she patted the spot next to her.
He sat on the edge of her bed next to her. Sighing, he said, "I'm sorry I acted like an asshole when you told me about Alex. I just, had a bunch of emotions build up all at once, and it apparently resulted in me acting like a child. It was embarrassing. I didn't want you to see me like that."
Katie narrowed her eyes at him. "Fair enough but, you're supposed to be able to tell me anything. What's this about?" she asked.
"It's about us, or you. Actually, it's probably all in my head." T closed his eyes, trying to focus on verbalizing his emotions.
Katie's face lit up. "Oh my god," she said, jumping to conclusions.
"What?" he asked.
"Nothing, please, please, please continue. I'll shut up," she said, closing her mouth tight.
He gave her a skeptical glance before he continued, "I'm afraid of losing you. Over the years, I've come to rely on you in so many ways. I've always been a little scared of the time coming when we both had our own lives and drifted apart." He tried to smile before he continued, "I blame you for being the most awesome sister ever. You always make sure I eat and take care of myself. You're my best friend and we have a blast together." He managed a real smile that time before he admitted, "I guess it's something about you being 18 now and having this new boyfriend all of the sudden...I just thought I had more time to get used to you not being around anymore."
Katie wasn't even disappointed he hadn't said what she hoped he would. She smiled his smile and asked, "First of all, I'm always going to be 'around'. But, do you remember when you got your first girlfriend? What you said to me?"
"You mean when you threw a huge tantrum because you thought you weren't gonna be the most important girl in my world anymore? Of course, I remember."
"Hey, I like the sound of that. But maybe it's time I make you the same promise." She took both his hands in hers and squeezed. "You will always be my first priority. I promise I will always love you more than any chick, slash, boy," she giggled. "I will always protect you, and take care of you no matter what, forever. It sounds corny but it meant the world to me because I knew you meant it. And you better know I mean it too."
"I do and that does make me feel a bit better. I just want us to stay as close as we can, as long as we can." T gave her a half-assed smile and started caressing her hands with his thumbs.
"Luckily for you, that's what I want too. And together we can make sure that happens. I'm not going anywhere. And if I do, I'm taking you with me," she reached up to touch his cheek before continuing, "I need you too, T. Maybe you can't cook for shit but you do a lot of things for me that I don't want to miss out on either."
He laughed, "So, are we back to normal?"
"We were never normal," she said, leaning towards him to kiss his cheek. "I think we both said some things we needed to hear. I'm good."
T wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tightly against him while Katie giggled. He buried his face in her neck, reveling in her scent all around him. She hugged him back just as tight, happy as ever.
"Speaking of not being normal, you smell really good," he admitted.
"Mm," Katie pressed her lips against his neck and kissed. She proceeded to plant little-wet kisses up his neck, jaw and finished with a quick one on the lips. Keeping her arms around his neck, she said, "I got that beat. I love the way you smell after you workout or come back from a run."
T was still a little stunned by her kisses but managed to ask, "Like, dirty and sweaty?"
"It's your man musk. Pheromones and hormones don't really care if you're my brother, you know?" she told him, thinking about all of the times she had rubbed her pussy on his pillow.
"Yeah I know what you mean," he said. They were both well aware of how much he admired her body. Deciding to change the subject he continued, "Before I forget, do you need a ride to Cassie's party, or are you going with Alex?"
"Actually, Alex has plans tonight. I was going to ask you for a ride after I came down and made up with you today." She unhooked her arms from around his neck.
"Cool, you can be my date then," he said.
Katie tried not to show her excitement. "Sounds good to me, wanna hang out until then?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
T readily agreed. Everything was back to abnormal.

Shortly before 9 at night, Katie and T were in the car on the way to Cassie's. They were in the middle of hashing out a plan to visit Boston again for a day trip when T's phone began to ring. He retrieved it from his pocket and seeing the caller, cursed himself for being a dumbass.
He answered, "Hey," nervously. "Yeah, actually I'm with Katie. We're on our way now...Yeah, even better than I thought...Can I call you back in a couple minutes?... Later."
T had a painful look on his face when he said, "Uh Katie, I invited a friend to Cassie's tonight. I completely spaced because you and I made up."
"Okay, who?" she asked, suspecting something was about to go wrong with her most recent plan.
"Um, S-Sarah Summers."
"Summers...Your ex-cunt's sister? Are you fucking serious?" she exclaimed.
"Katie, relax. Sarah is like, the opposite of Allison. She even jokes that Allison is adopted because the rest of the family is basically the Brady Bunch."
"But how did Sarah end up coming tonight?" she asked, tensing up at the thought that she wasn't really going to be his date that night at all.
"We've been friendly since high school when I dated Allison. Before the dating part too, when I somehow could call Allison and Andy friends. Back then, I spent a lot of time at the Summers' place. Sarah is pretty cool. We ended up staying in touch." He chanced a glance in her direction to see if she was satisfied.
"Yeah, but if you guys were friends and you stayed in touch all this time you would've told..." she looked over at him in shocked excitement while T winced knowing, as usual, she had figured it all out.
"It's her! Sarah's the girl you lost your virginity to! That makes total sense. That's why the girl made you promise not to reveal her identity. She was your ex's sister. Or...You didn't..."
"No! Katie, c'mon?" he interrupted her.
"Sorry, got carried away. Dude, I so wish you could've told me. The cunt-ex fucked you over and then you fucked her sister! That's epic." Katie was actually proud of her brother for getting back at the bitch in some way, rather than just taking her shit. That was the best friend layer of their relationship.
"You're not mad?" T asked, disappointed there wasn't even a hint of jealousy.
"No, you said she made you promise not to tell. I know you tell me everything already. It seems like a perfectly valid reason for secrecy." Then it hit her. "Wait, you guys weren't going to...tonight?"
"No, no way. It's been almost a year since we've been together like that. She's dating dudes at her own college; jocks probably. I'm...Focusing on school," he said, glancing over to find her drilling a hole into his head with her eyes. "Uh, you okay?" he asked.
Katie snapped out of her thoughts of T as some manipulative, rapey, kind of guy rather than who she knew he was. "Yeah, I'm good. I guess I just drifted off there," she told him.
"Besides, you're my date tonight, right?" he asked her, reaching towards her lap to hold her hand.
Katie was instantly in a dream. One where she didn't have to tell him everything to be with him in the way she wanted. She squeezed his hand, brought it up to her lips, and kissed it. Looking out the window, she hid her enormous grin for the rest of the ride.
Another 15 minutes and they had arrived at Cassie's. Three other roommates lived with Cassie and it looked like they had each invited quite a few people. As she lived in Mass, the cars lined up on both sides of the road left little room for one car to go down the street. Katie put the finishing touches on her last minute costume while T parked as close to the party as he could.
She turned to him with an innocent demeanor and asked, "How do I look?"
"You're the sexiest cat I've ever seen," he stated firmly.
"How am I a sexy cat? I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt," Katie asked, confused.
"Well, the ears and face paint are the cat. So I guess the sexy is all you," he said, biting his lip nervously.
"Whoa, T, smooth, very smooth," she said while giving him a sultry look.
"You think so?" he asked, surprised he got away with the comment.
She didn't say anything. Leaning over towards him, she got right up to his face. Before T could move the remaining distance between them, she held his chin, turned his head, and kissed his cheek.
