When I got back to my apartment Alex was sitting on my couch in my bathrobe, her dark hair wet, drinking Merlot.
"Didn't expect to see you here," I said, slowly.
"I wasn't sure I'd see you here, either. I just needed to get away from an admirer I couldn't shake, and I was too close to being drunk to drive to my place. You don't mind?"
"No problem." I sank down on the couch and put my head in her lap. She began to stroke my hair.
"So how did you make out with the blonde? Did you ever place her?"
"She finally remembered. We're second cousins."
"And when did you figure this out?" she asked, laughing before I could even open my mouth. "Too late, from the looks of you. So I guess that's a dead end?"
"I'm thinking it over," I mused. "Straight girls are so hard to find in this neighborhood."
Alex cuffed me on the ear lightly. I sat up. "What?" I asked in a mock-indignant tone.
"You're the one sleeping with your relatives. I wouldn't talk about kinks."
"I didn't know at the time. And I didn't stay to sleep with her."
"Yeah, what's up with that?" she asked, smiling and putting her hand on my cheek.
"She said she had to get up early. I did say I'd call her. I think we're good."
"Men," she said, putting her arms around me from the side and sucking on my earlobe. "Well, how was sex with your cousin?"
"Second cousin. Mmmm, better stop that unless you want to be a straight girl tonight," I said. She kept doing it. "Well, we were on the couch and one thing led to another..."
"That's how these stories always start," she said, undoing a couple of buttons on my shirt and rubbing my chest. "Proceed."
"Before I knew it I had her dress half off and I'd lost my shirt," I said. "I sucked on her nipples awhile and we ended up in bed."
