After a while, he pulled her up and leaned her against the tiled wall. Because he was strong and she was quite petite, he didn’t have a hard time lifting her legs up and wrapping them around him as her back was pressed on the wall. He pierced her once more, his full length expanding inside of her and filling her with unimaginable pleasure.
He kept pushing, shoving… in and out, in and out… With every shove, he seemed to reach deeper and farther, making her roll up her eyes and completely lose all her thoughts. Her body was in charge, heating up with immeasurable passion, as she matched his peaking pleasure and finally burst into an explosion of erotic fireworks and electrifying waves of pleasure.
They held each other even as their knees seemed to buckle beneath them. And when the desire faded, logic began to creep back slowly. “Shit, what did we just do?” Erin hissed in panic. “We’re supposed to be family!”
Kale looked at her, anguish evident in his eyes. “I care about you, Erin,” he said softly. “Perhaps it doesn’t make this right. But just for tonight, let’s not think about it. We’re not hurting anyone, anyway.”
Erin was speechless and confused so she simply nodded.
He took some soap and started spreading it across the surface of her body, his palms and fingers sliding on her supple skin. The sensation was so erotic that she found herself closing her eyes while her body warmed up again. Shoots of electricity seemed to rush in her bloodstream as he continued to rub her arms with soap, and as he massaged her breasts, stomach, and thighs.
She moaned again, feeling her libido shooting up once more. But she let him bathe her and just savored the sensations, until she found herself coming to her peak again.
Afterward, she returned the favor, caressing his entire body with soap, her fingers loving the feel of his strong muscles and well-chiseled torso and legs. She took her time washing off the soap before closing in on his most sensitive part. And when she finally wrapped her hand around his hardening cock, a groan escaped his lips. She gave him a hand job as they shared a wild French kiss. Her hand easily slid up and down his shaft, lubricated by the soap.
In a short while, he came too, his mouth opening in amazing pleasure, which gave her a feeling of satisfaction and joy.

It was like Pandora’s box had been opened for Erin and Kale. At the start, they tried to hold back, telling themselves that having any relationship more than mere friendship would not be right. Nonetheless, they always ended up making love at the end of the day.
Soon they realized that their feelings for one another were not just sexual and were a lot more than physical attraction. As they spent more time together, they found themselves falling for each other.
One afternoon, Courtney called Erin on her cellphone. “How are you, Erin?” she asked. “How’s that pesky, creepy stepbrother you’d told me about?”
Because Kale was sitting right beside Erin on the couch, he could hear what her friend was saying. He pretended to narrow his eyes at her, which made her giggle.
“Uh-oh, that’s not good,” Courtney suddenly said.
“What?” Erin asked, giving Kale a warning look.
“You almost never giggle… unless you’re falling for a guy.”
Erin laughed nervously. “Don’t be silly, Courtney.”
“This stepbrother… how old is he exactly?” Courtney asked curiously. “You never did tell me what he looks like.”
“Uhm… he’s… really good-looking…” Erin admitted. “In a rugged type of way…”
“Just like your ex,” Courtney declared.
“He’s nothing like Arnold,” Erin protested.
“Gotcha!” Courtney exclaimed. “Oh, my God. I think you’ve got it bad for your stepbrother!”
Kale was giving her the thumbs up sign, which made her giggle again. Then to her horror, he began sucking on her exposed big toe, looking up at her with a seductive expression on his face.
Erin felt her heartbeat quicken. All of a sudden, her body temperature was increasing and she could feel the heat pooling in between her legs. “I don’t have it bad, Courtney.”
“You know, if you’re in love with this guy and he’s a better man than Arnold, then I’m all for it!” Courtney declared.
Erin’s mouth dropped open. She squirmed on the sofa as Kale started kissing her exposed legs. She was wearing a short skirt. “Uh, thanks, Courtney…”
“Doesn’t matter if he’s your stepbrother, Erin. You’re not related by blood, anyhow. So just be happy, alright?”
“Thank you,” Erin whispered. She stifled her gasp as Kale’s mouth reached the upper, inner part of her thigh. “I have to go, Courtney.”
Before her best friend could even say goodbye, she tapped on the End Call button and dropped the phone beside her. “You are bad, Kale!” she exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at him.
He had lifted her skirt and was pulling down her panties with his teeth. He paused and grinned mischievously. “I know. That’s why I’m going to make you a bad, bad girl again, Erin.” With that, he undressed her and they had a round of electrifying sex on the couch.
The next Saturday, they had just returned from boating on the lake when Erin recognized a red sedan parked on the road. Thrilled to see Chad’s car, she ran toward the house to meet her best friend and her husband of two years.
Courtney looked like a city career woman modeling on the patio of the rustic lake house. But when she saw Erin rushing toward her, she lost all composure and screamed excitedly. They hugged each other and couldn’t catch up fast enough with their stories.
“It’s been, what, a month already?” Courtney said.
“Yeah, time flies so damn fast!” Erin answered. “Oh, I’m so glad to see you!”
“What about me?” Chad teased.
“You too, Chad!” Erin said with a grin, giving him a quick hug. She then ushered them inside and prepared snacks for them.
When she came out of the kitchen again, she was surprised to find Kale actually chatting with Courtney already. Well, actually, she was doing most of the talking.
They all sat down and had a great time talking about their summer escapades. Later, Courtney went to the kitchen with Erin to grab some coffee.
“He’s so hot!” she hissed. “Imagine being alone with a gorgeous stepbrother like that! No wonder you weren’t able to resist him!”
Erin laughed. “I tried. Believe me, I did.”
Courtney laughed too. “Yeah, I believe you. If it had been me in your place and I was still single, then we probably would have had sex on that first day.”
“Courtney!” Erin hissed.
They ended up giggling together, knowing that she wasn’t joking.
Erin had never felt happier after spending the morning with both her best friend and the new love of her life. They wanted to go boating but it started to drizzle so they ended up having early lunch. That afternoon, though, she and Courtney stayed indoors painting their nails while the men went fishing.
“Thanks, Courtney. I needed this girly fix!” Erin said gratefully.
“Of course,” Courtney said. “I think of everything! I wanted to bring a masseur along but Chad said no.” She suddenly pouted, which made Erin burst out laughing.
As the men cooked the fish they had caught, the two ladies decided to have a little bit of an adventure. “I haven’t gone boating yet,” Courtney complained. “You have to take me.”
“But it might rain again…” Erin said. “And I’m not that good yet in handling these boats.”
“That’s okay,” Courtney said. “We won’t be long and we won’t go far. I just want to experience it before we leave.”
Erin gave in and the two of them went into the lake, chatting some more. They had lost track of time and had begun to drift farther and farther from the wooden dock and boathouse. It would have been okay, if not for the thunder that suddenly roared from the sky.
“Holy shit,” Courtney suddenly said. “Let’s go back!”<
br />
Erin started paddling fast, headed back to the shore. But halfway there, the surroundings dimmed and the rain began to pour. Soon they started panicking as the water began to rise inside the boat.
“We’re sinking!” Courtney exclaimed in fright. “Help!”
Erin focused on paddling, though she too was on the verge of losing it. She tried to tell her friend to stay calm so as not to rock the boat, but Courtney was really freaking out.
“Help us! Chad! Kale!” she screamed at the top of her lungs, twisting left and right. Her voice was simply carried by the wind and drowned out by the deafening rain.
“Courtney, stop moving too much, please,” Erin said. “We’ll get there very soon.”
They were actually nearing the dock when lightning struck and thunder boomed above them. Courtney screamed and panicked again, causing the boat to rock wildly and eventually topple over.
Erin was not a good swimmer. She found herself sinking fast below the surface of the water. She thrashed her arms and kicked her legs on instinct, but she had already swallowed plenty of water. The downpour was not helping, even when she found herself breaking through the surface.
“Erin!” Courtney was yelling above the raucous rain.
Erin could see her floating in the distance, but she did not have the energy or the know-how to swim. She felt cramps starting in her lower legs from kicking too hard repeatedly. She was growing tired.
She felt herself eventually going under again. But then, a strong pair of arms lifted her up and dragged her all the way to the wooden dock. She was half-conscious yet exhausted, but could see Courtney being assisted by her husband Chad down the path.
She was then carried over muscular shoulders and hauled back to the lake house.
*****
Because of the accident and the weather conditions that evening, Courtney and Chad ended up spending the night. It was a good thing the guest room was already ready for occupancy.
“Rise and shine!” Erin heard her best friend’s sing-song voice in the hallway, followed by a series of knocks on her bedroom door. She opened one eye and groaned when she saw that she wasn’t dreaming. Courtney seemed to be in a good mood even after what had happened.
“Come on, sleepyhead! We’re all up and about!” Courtney said in a cheerful tone. “I put the men in the kitchen again. After all, we’re the victims here.”
“You don’t seem like you need any rest or recovery time…” Erin muttered sleepily.
“Well, not really…” Courtney agreed. Then suddenly, her face and tone of voice turned serious. “Actually, there’s something I need to tell you, Erin.”
Erin felt the gravity in her voice, which made her sit up in bed and pay attention.
“Chad told me last night that when the rain had begun pouring, Kale had still been preparing our dinner right beside him. But after a few minutes, he turned around and poof! Your dear stepbrother had vanished!”
“He probably rushed outside to see how we were,” Erin said, not the least bit bothered. “Or maybe his hearing’s so good he heard all of your screaming for help.”
“Maybe,” Courtney said, shrugging. “But it’s just so weird how he was able to get to the middle of the lake so fast! I mean, it wasn’t really that far from the shore, but Chad had dashed outside too after he saw that Kale had disappeared. By the time he reached the dock, he said I was already there lying on the ground and Kale was pulling you up from the water.”
“So?” Erin asked, narrowing her eyes.
“So… he’s way too fast!” Courtney hissed. “And he’s way too strong. How could he have hauled us both through the water within a short period of time and pulled us up on the dock without a boat or any help?”
Erin was quiet as she thought about it. She then remembered how the snake had retreated after wrapping around Kale’s neck. She also recalled that first night she’s seen him vanish into thin air. Was it all her imagination? And was it possible for a human being to do what he’d done the previous night?
Aloud, she simply said, “Let’s just be grateful that he saved our lives, Courtney.”
“Yeah, I know but…”
Erin changed the topic immediately, dragging her friend back into the kitchen to enjoy breakfast with their special men. Nobody mentioned the accident again. What mattered was that nobody had gotten seriously hurt.
After the meal, Chad and Courtney had to go. “Take care,” Courtney whispered, giving Erin a tight hug before leaving. Erin didn’t know if the short statement had meant much more. But she did not like to dwell on these doubts about Kale. Besides, they did not make any sense at all.
She soon forgot about it as she lost herself in the fun-filled summer days by the lake. It was like she and Kale had an entire paradise of their own where they could be themselves completely without a care in the world.
As Erin watched Kale chop some carrots one evening, she wondered how she’d been so lucky to have found this marvelous man. However, she did not know where their relationship was going. Not yet, anyway. And frankly she didn’t really want to think about it at the moment.
“So what are you cooking, Kale?” she asked excitedly, positioning herself behind him and wrapping her arms around his waist.
“It’s my secret recipe,” he answered, trying to sound mysterious.
“Ooh sounds yummy…” she said, laughing and tightening her embrace while trying to look over his shoulder. He was too tall so she had to lean on his right.
“Ouch,” he suddenly muttered, dropping the knife.
Erin stepped back when she saw the blood ooze out of his finger. She took his hand quickly and examined the wound, which turned out to be a deep cut. But he immediately pulled back and just placed it under the running water. “It’s alright,” he insisted. “I’ll be fine.”
He headed to the bathroom while Erin followed him with her eyes curiously. “Let me get some bandages…” she offered, going inside the master bedroom.
When she came out again, she was surprised to find him almost done with the cooking. “Let me see your wound. Is it not bleeding anymore?” she inquired with great concern.
“It’s fine,” he said firmly, not meeting her eyes.
They started dinner in silence, with Erin wondering what had happened to the deep cut she’d seen. As they were eating, she saw that there was no sign of the wound anymore. But later, she got distracted by the delicious dish he’d prepared and the stories he was telling about his childhood.
“Do you miss your mom?” she asked.
“Yes, of course,” he replied honestly. “We were really close even when I was already in my teens.”
“What happened to her?”
“She, uh… went missing.”
“Oh, my gosh! Why? You never found her again?” Erin asked in shock.
He opened up then about his mom being some sort of police agent or investigator who was assigned to protect someone. But when she failed in her mission, she suddenly disappeared and they never found out where she had gone.
“That’s so sad,” Erin said, her heart going out to him. “It must have been so painful for you and your dad.”
He nodded silently. “What about you? How did you cope as a little girl after your dad… passed away…?”
“It was difficult,” she said. “Mom was a wreck. And I didn’t talk for months after that. I withdrew from people, I guess. But somehow our relatives and friends helped us recover.”
“That’s good.”
Silence followed.
Suddenly, they heard the front door swing open. The sound was followed by two pairs of excited footsteps. When Erin turned around to face the living room area, she was shocked to find her mom standing in the center with outstretched arms.
“Erin, my princess, my baby!” she exclaimed. “Come here and give me a hug!”
“Mom!” Erin said in shock. “What are you doing back here?”
Jillian folded her arms across her chest, frowning in a joking manner.
“Is that the way to greet your mom whom you haven’t seen for some time?”
Erin gave her mom a hug, though still astonished.
Meanwhile, Winston came forward with their luggage and greeted everybody. All of a sudden, the room had become livelier with Jillian’s excited chitchat. She and Winston were thrilled to get home early so they could be one big happy family before the summer break was over.
Later that evening, as Erin was moving her things to the guest room, she could not help feeling awkward and a little bit guilty. Here they were supposedly celebrating as a new blended family, while she and Kale were keeping their relationship a secret.
Suddenly, reality was creeping in, slowly sinking into her. Kale’s my stepbrother, for crying out loud! she screamed in frustration in her mind. Images of their various sexual encounters and sweet gestures suddenly came rushing back to her.
It’s just for the summer, she told herself. After this vacation, everything will go back to normal. This whole affair will seem like a dream.
Thinking that, she did not know whether to feel relieved or miserable.
*****
Kale was sound asleep in the sofa. Even Jillian and Winston were already snoring, probably tired from the long day of travelling. But Erin was wide awake, pacing back and forth in the room. Because she could not sleep, she decided to fix her clothes in the closet. She turned on the light and started arranging her shirts, jeans, jackets, and accessories.
That was when she stumbled upon an odd-looking jewelry box. It was a simple rectangular box covered with genuine leather. Imprinted on top was Kale’s name. At first, she thought of just setting it aside and giving it to him in the morning. But her growing curiosity made her open the lid.
“What are these?” she whispered in horror as she dug through the piles of photos that showed her as a little girl with her parents. There was also a newspaper clipping about the car accident that had killed her dad but which she’d miraculously survived. Then she saw other pictures of herself as she was growing up. There was even one of her and Arnold, as well as one of her with Courtney.
