My twin and I have been sexually intimate for almost two years now. First, it was little more than a siblings-with-benefits sort of ordeal, but it's become far more of a romantic relationship over the past few months. During summer, we had a particularly "active" day while our mom was out of the house, around when we first started to fully embrace our relationship. This is that day.
It was dreadfully warm. Harsh sunlight bled through my room's cheap blinds, projecting lines across the mattress and floor. I could feel them against my body, the bright source of the oppressive outside heat leaving me sweltering even in the shelter of my home. Flat and spread eagle on my bed, all I could do was sigh, letting the uncomfortable hot distribute itself over my body.
Sweat had already appeared, dried, and reappeared throughout the morning, the miserable course of this heat wave hardly half over. I readjusted my boxers, giving what lay underneath a chance to breath. My mind went to thoughts of cold breezes, of ice and functioning air conditioners. None of that was possible because of the second problem of the day.
A power outage.
There was limited fridge use, since opening it would let the cold air out, and obviously no fans or AC. My hands wandered to the bedside table, and I fumbled for my bottle. Smooth metal that was usually cool was now warm to the touch. I brought it to my mouth and swallowed the last few uncomfortably heated droplets. At least the plumbing still worked. I slid off the bed with the bottle in my hand, pulled on a shirt and shorts, and made my way to the kitchen.
Noelle was sitting by the bar, her back to me, butt glued to the stool. She was wearing thin shorts, and I could just see a hint of tanned cheek as she lifted up to readjust herself. I spent a moment just appreciating her, my eyes scanning her from bottom to top, gaze passing the smooth skin beneath her pink booty shorts, over the black tank top that fit along her toned waist, and up to her thin neck, partially hidden beneath a smooth ponytail of flowing black hair.
College had been good to both our bodies; we made a conscious effort to look nice. We both said we did it just for the health, but in reality, we wanted to look good for each other. I'd spent many gym visits wondering what she'd think of me, whether she'd like how I looked with more muscle. It took far too long for me to realize she was thinking the same thing about me, though that's a story for another time.
There was a bowl of grapes in front of her, big solid greens that she was slowly eating. She tutted at something on her phone before popping one of the little fruits into her mouth. Quietly, I made my approach. Just as I was about to reach her, she started speaking, but it was too late.
"I know you're th-"
I encircled her in my arms, my clammy skin sliding against her bare shoulders and her neckline. Her outburst renewed itself into a displeased yelp.
"Oh god no, get off me." She complained, trying to wiggle out of my grasp. I provided no mercy, and instead just grunted at her, keeping her tight in my sweaty hold. It was only a matter of time until she decided staying still in my hot embrace was better than squirming. She sighed, defeated, and leaned to me, letting her head rest against mine. Her ponytail tickled my skin. Reaching back, she pushed one of the little fruits against my mouth. It was cold. They must have been in the fridge.
"It's far too fucking hot," she groaned, and I let my mouth gape slightly, accepting her little gift. The firm fruit made a pleasant crunch when I bit into it.
"I am not ready for global warming." I agreed while chewing, mumbled words over the cool sweetness. After swallowing, I spoke again quietly.
"Where's mom?"
"Not here. She's over with Uncle Terry, remember? The thing." She passed me another grape.
"Right, so much for social distancing. When did she leave?" I enveloped the grape with my mouth and sucked the tip of her finger. It tasted like sweat. She flicked my lip.
"Like 30 minutes ago."
"She'll be back, like, tonight, at least." I noted while chewing. A taboo daydream began forming in my mind.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, ape. She said she'd be back after dinner. Why do you ask?"
I swallowed down the last grape, wondering how to respond. Instead of speaking, I shifted my head back, and slid my clammy arms away from her body, giving her skin a chance to breath. I took hold of her waist instead, hands wrapping around her thin abdomen. My breath hot on the back of her neck, I responded.
"I like when you talk dirty to me like that"
"It's not talking dirty. Act like an animal, get called an animal."
"You make me act like an animal."
"I make you talk with your mouth full?"
"No, more like your butt makes me hard."
She scoffed at my words, unimpressed. There was silence for a few seconds. She popped in one last grape and slowly turned on her stool, moving my hands and facing her body to me. Expectant, almost condescending eyes peered above her smooth face, as if she were above me, not a few inches shorter. Within her gaze was a considering haughtiness, like she was a smooth skinned goddess judging me from a marble throne.
I'd always found her gaze remarkably powerful, and I couldn't help but look away. Her lightly muscled arms lead to a toned frame, which hoisted a lovely volume of breast. The tank top barely concealed them, though I'd seen them bare many times before. I heard her tutting voice and looked up to see her eyes rolling. Perhaps her cleavage was not the right spot to stare.
"You're not very discreet. Are you in the mood, or something?" she asked, her voice almost sardonic.
"The mood for what? I'm just flirting." I responded.
"If you call that flirting, no wonder you're stuck with your sister."
"I wouldn't have it any other way, really."
Another eye roll. She edged forward in her seat, her large brown eyes hardly a foot from mine. Her legs spread and her small fingers took hold of my hips, urging me to shuffle closer. I did, and the foot of space between our lips became inches, until our progress was stopped by my thighs touching the edge of the stool.
"Don't make me ask again. Want to or not?" she muttered. Finally, beneath the veneer of confidence and sarcasm, the breathy tones of need and desire made themselves known in her voice. Something had gotten her in the mood, though I was convinced it wasn't my languid chatter.
"Maybe I'm always in the mood?" My hands moved back, sandwiching the thin fabric of her tank top against her waist.
"Prove it."
Her eyes were testing, coy, not willing to give me too much ground. Though we'd been lovers for some time now, being twins since the start meant there'd always be that competitive spin on things. Since we'd been "together," the nature had stayed, though it just didn't feel as bad to lose against her, in anything really. Winning didn't feel that great either. Somehow being together seemed to take precedence, always, and seeing her eyes usually made any morning or evening feel so much brighter. Anyways, back to the point - sometimes we'd make games during our sex, but those never, ever hurt to lose.
"So you're saying you're also in the mood?" I retorted.
