Darren closed his eyes and let the hot sun wash over him. His toes burrowed into the sand anchoring him to the beach like roots. He took a deep breath of ocean air and felt his whole body relax. Finally, summer. Last semester had felt like it would never end, but as he stood in front of his newly rented beach house it was like he'd been there all his life.
"Dare!" His sister's shout interrupted Darren's reverie but he didn't mind. It had been too long since he'd seen Delilah. He turned just in time to catch her as she leapt at him.
Darren grunted at the impact but closed his arms around her tiny waist and held on. "Careful Lilah, I think the freshmen fifteen maybe catching up with you." He chuckled in her ear.
She slid down until her feet hit the sand but didn't take her arms from around his neck. "Take that back jerk!" She laughed and pushed her body into his in an attempt to make him stumble. Not that it had any effect. Darren was 6'2" and fairly muscled from the rowing team at Berkley. And Delilah, well she was 5'3" and shaped like a little pixie, hardly a match for him in brute strength.
Darren faked falling backwards and gave into her wish. "I take it back. I take it back. You're gorgeous as always." Delilah beamed at him even though she already knew that. She'd never been self-conscious. And with good reason, she had her mothers blue eyes and her father's blonde hair and a body that was made to fit any man. But all girls liked to hear how pretty they are. Darren smiled down at her. "I missed you, you know. I still wish you'd just stayed home and gone to Berkeley with me this year."
Delilah sighed and stepped away from him. This was an old argument. "Columbia is a great school and I needed to get away from everything with dad. You know that. Maybe you should just think of coming to New York with me. You'd love it there. And you could just transfer to Columbia for your senior year." She intertwined her fingers with Darren's and pulled him along the beach.
"Yeah... maybe". He said. Though they both knew he couldn't leave. He was the one holding down the fort. Since their father had started his binge drinking three years ago it had been Darren who made sure bills got paid and everyone ate. He'd made sure Delilah got into a good college and had put his own education on hold for that to happen. This past year had been his first year back at school. With Delilah across the country it had finally been his time. It hadn't been easy but he would have done anything for his little sister.
"Hey, don't be down. It's summer and it's a beautiful day. You and me in our very own beach house for eight whole weeks! It doesn't get better that that!" She looked like a kid again with that goofy smile on her face. He couldn't help but laugh and agree. This rental house was the only way he'd gotten her to agree to come back to California for summer break. She'd refused to go back to their house in Berkeley. He couldn't blame her. Their dad was a lot to deal with and Darren had had trouble finding some one else to stay with him while they were away, even though Half Moon Bay was only a little over an hour from their house in Berkeley.
"The water looks great. Maybe we should go for a swim after we get settled?" He tugged Delilah to a stop and turned towards the water. It was crystal blue and so inviting.
"Why wait? Lets go in now." She let go of his hand and kicked off her flip flops. "Come on lets just jump in like we used to when we were kids." She smiled back at him then jogged towards the water. She pulled the tank top over her head and tossed it to the sand next to her.
Darren's breath caught in his throat when he saw her bare back unhindered by bra or bathing suit. Sure as kids they would both strip naked practically as soon as the car stopped and they'd run headlong into the ocean without a care in the world. But they weren't kids anymore. Before Darren could protest Delilah's shorts hit the sand, obviously she hadn't been wearing underwear either. Darren caught only the briefest glimpse of rounded ass before she dove into the surf.
"Come on Dare!" Delilah shouted when she resurfaced moments later. "The water is perfect." She bobbed up and down as she propelled herself farther out. The tops of her high full breasts rose and fell as she moved. Darren had to shake his head to remind himself that she was his sister and he shouldn't be noticing her breast or remembering her perfect little ass that would fit right in his hands.
"I... I should... probably grab my suit. It will only take a second." he stammered and tried to clear his head.
"Oh just come in already. You can wear your boxers if your embarrassed." Delilah drew out the last word like an insult and Dare knew she was rolling her eyes, even though he couldn't see it because she turned away from him to swim further out.
"Fine. Fine. I'll just go in." He mumbled to himself. And jerked his polo shirt over his head. He quickly hooked his thumbs in his wait band and pulled his shorts and boxers down as one. He looked around nervously hoping no one in a boat would come by before he could get in the water. He didn't worry about neighbors because they were pretty much the only people on this stretch of beach. Naked and fidgeting he moved quickly into the water.
By the time Darren reached Delilah the waves lapped at his chest and she was treading water. He stayed a few feet away from her so the water was reflecting the sun, if he got much closer it would be like looking through glass at each other's naked form. He didn't want that. Not that he was embarrassed by his body like Delilah had said, far from it, but he might be embarrassed by the way his body reacted to his sister's.
"Perfect right?" Delilah sighed. "I'm glad it's just you and me Dare. I do love Dad, you know that. I just can't bear to see him like this. I thought he would have gotten over mom by now. I just wanted this to be a real vacation and I didn't want to spend every night fighting with him about how much he's had to drink."
"I know Lilah. It's okay. And it's good for me to have a real vacation too so I'm glad you thought of this." He smiled and leaned back in the water to float.
"It's not your job you know. To take care of him like that. He made his own choices and you shouldn't have to suffer for them." Delilah had been telling him the same thing for two and a half years. They had all suffered after their mom had run off with an accountant from her office. But their dad had never tried to move on from it. He just drank himself into oblivion every night.
"I know." Darren said quietly. He didn't need to say anything else. There was no defending their farther. But Darren couldn't just leave him like their mother had. So he stayed. Simple as that. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The sun felt wonderful on his bare chest. "It's nice out here. Thanks for dragging me in." He smiled.
"Anytime, bro." Delilah sounded far away through the water so Darren lifted his head and cracked an eye. She was reclined like he was, with her eyes closed enjoying the sun. However her being a girl afforded a much different view at this particular angle. Her arms floated loosely at her sides and though water covered her from the waist down, her bare breasts floated in the open air almost like they were reaching for the sun. Her pale pink nipples called out to be sucked and teased with kisses.
Darren gulped in a mouthful of salty ocean and jerked up out of the water sputtering and coughing. But the image of his sisters breasts was burned into his brain.
Behind him Delilah laughed "Swim much, Spaz?" She joked and swam past him. "Come on, lets go in before you drown. You're too heavy for me to drag up the beach."
Darren followed her slowly still coughing up water. He tried not to watch her as she walked out of the water and back to their clothes but he couldn't stop himself. Her cute little butt swayed with her hips. And he tripped and almost went under again when she bent over at the waist to pick up her shorts and tank top. He spun around and stared out at the horizon guiltily. The rose colored slit that had opened for him when she leaned down had been too much. There were far too many sexual thoughts racing through his mind to get out of the water just yet. Heaven forbid she would turn around as he walked out and notice his raging hard on.
"Come on. I'm not unloading both our cars. Don't be lazy." Delilah yelled to him when she saw him still sitting in the water.
"Yeah. I'm coming... I mean I'll be there in a sec. I just don't want to stop relaxing yet. Go ahead and start unloading your car and I'll come in a minute... I mean I'll be there to help you in a minute." He said without turning towards her. He felt like a thirteen year old boy getting caught jerking off for the first time.
She laughed and he though for sure she would keep hounding him. Instead she headed towards the house. "Don't take too long." She said.
