Robbie Simpson ached all over, especially his head. But he'd proved himself. Three punks from downtown were groping Allie, his 'little' sister, and he'd given each of them as good as he'd got in return.
Now Allie, still fighting back tears, was dabbing at his cuts and soothing his head with her cool hands.
"Oh Robbie, look what they did to you. And it's because of me."
"No. They're dicks. It's not your fault."
She tried to smile her gratitude but ended up sobbing on his shoulder. It hurt, but she needed his strength and he gave it willingly.
He took a week off work and Allie nursed him to the best of her ability. By the time he was fit for work, still carrying his bruises and scars like badges of honour, she kissed his forehead and beamed at her proud, strong big brother.
But he'd been hiding something dark that had grown and grown, and on the bus that morning he admitted it to himself. Allie was a woman now, and while she ministered to his wounds he had taken every chance to watch her. Look at her. Down her tops, up her skirts, between her legs.
Desire between siblings doesn't start when they reach legal age; for Robbie and Allie their interest in each other's bodies had been there since he could remember. And on that bus, that morning, he felt he could remember every sight, touch and sensation.
So what had changed? He didn't take long to reach a conclusion. Neither had kept special relationships for long, except with each other. Robbie knew - or did he just hope? - that his sister was edging closer to him, trying to rekindle long-suppressed feelings, needs.
Shifting his weight, Robbie winced at a sudden pain in his ribs. Maybe it was cracked after all. As he got comfortable in the seat, he came to a decision. If his sister started anything - anything at all that was suggestive - he was going to go as far as he could. His logical mind reminded him he should be appalled at the incestuous thoughts he was having, but the devil in him relished the thought that he might have his first sex with Allie, his lovely little freckle-faced sister.
And she was 'little' to him. Two years younger, a full foot shorter and, he knew, a lot slimmer and fitter than him. She did aerobics three times a week, and her tight outfits and pony-tail blond hair made her look girlish. But when she dressed up, man, she filled a gown with those C-cups and her taut backside.
At home that evening, their mother and father were going to the movies after dinner. A double feature, like the old days. Robbie began the mutual seduction by tickling Allie as she bent to stack the dishwasher. She responded by slapping his chest, then his wince jolted her out of her high-jinks.
"Oh Robbie, sorry. Are you OK?"
"Of course. Still sore in some places."
"Some that don't bear talking about right?" Where did the impish blushing grin come from?
"Huh?"
"Oh, nothing. Just that, well, weren't you rubbing a sore spot an hour ago, in your room?"
She knew something, immediately he saw his chance to escalate. "If I did, how would you know?"
"I opened the door to ask you something, but you were, well, focused elsewhere."
Robbie searched her face, mechanically passing her more dirty dishes. She grinned at herself and avoided his eyes, pretending to concentrate on her task. Even when their parents yelled their goodbyes from the front door, she pretended normality.
Then, suddenly alone in the house together, it was as if both sensed a new kind of tension in the air. Their dad's car drew away. Allie closed the dishwasher door, turned it on, and tried to pass Robbie. He gently pinned her against the machine and forced her to look into his eyes.
"Why didn't you knock on the door?"
Softly, almost in a whisper, she said: "Because I knew what you were doing."
Despite having resolved, that very day, to seduce his sister, now that she'd given him an inroad he faltered briefly. The implication was clear. Allie had entered the bedroom knowing her brother was masturbating.
Now she brushed past him, smiling that long-lost naughty smile. He felt the tips of her firm breasts feather across his chest. He grabbed her and pulled her back. "Did you see what you were hoping to see.?"
"No. I lost my nerve."
"It's bigger now, you know."
"Hmm, I expect it is."
