This is the beginning of a fun, sexy brother -- sister -- virgin niece triangle. Who knows what could happen in a remoted mountain cabin? Can they trust an eighteen year old to keep her mouth shut and not tell her mom- their oldest sister? Can brother keep it in his pants for his niece?
As always emails welcome! Thanks for reading. xo

"Hey sis, your bro is feeling a little nostalgic." Just hearing my brother's voice on the phone gave me the warm fuzzies.
"Tommy, nice to hear your voice," I said, trying to remember the last time we talked. "Now you got me feeling nostalgic," I sniffed. Growing up we were close, but he went to college across the country and stayed. Our jobs kept us busy, and I was just as guilty of not staying in touch.
"You're not crying, are you?" I could hear the smile in his voice.
"No!" I dabbed my eyes. "Just been so long."
"Eight years since we've seen each other, Leah. And that's sorta why I called. I have lots of vacation and access to a cabin in the mountains. Hiking, relaxing, and of course reading
for you."
"Sounds nice. Real nice. I can take time off." I said, not even hesitating. I loved the idea of a getaway and more so, seeing my brother. After our parents' divorce, we had all scattered. Our older sister Sarah moved south, I was west, and Tommy was east.
"I was also thinking about flying Elia in for her graduation. She has the summer before she starts college."
"That's a great idea," I sniffed. I had rarely seen my niece as she grew up.
"Okay, now you can cry," he laughed.
"Shut up butthead."

Tommy navigated the winding, washed out rutted trench they called a driveway.
"That's a cabin?" I said when the beautiful log structure came into view.
"Pretty impressive, eh?" He pulled up near the front entrance in front of massive stone steps that led to the carved double doors.
"I'd say." I met him at the trunk where he was pulling our bags out. "I never got a hug at the airport pickup." Tommy was a head taller than me with the same blonde hair. We were often mistaken as twins when we were children.
"You haven't changed, Leah. Well, your hair is blonder and longer and you may have lost weight since I saw you last, and-"
"Okay okay," I cut in laughing and stepping back to give him the once over. "You're even more handsome. I thought you'd be married by now and beat me to it."
He laughed and set the bags down to dig the key out of his pocket. "I thought I might be by now too, but it didn't work out."
I heard the sadness in his voice that told me she had the problem and not him. "That's tough, sorry."
The door swung open to a soaring entry that, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows, allowed the sun to slant in and warm the dark wood stairway to the loft. The view out those windows going up the steps was phenomenal with mountain vistas as far as you could see. Four bedrooms lined up and after a quick check, they were all similar. Tommy took the end room, and I took the one next to it, which gave Elia two rooms to choose from.
The bedrooms overlooked a similar mountain vista out the glass wall. I stepped out and noticed our rooms shared the same balcony. This was going to be two weeks of bliss, I thought to myself, breathing in the pine scented air.
I did a quick tour of the house and found coffee in the freezer. I got a pot started and went back into the living area to check the mammoth stone fireplace. The high hearth fireplace was surrounded by overstuffed soft leather chairs and sectionals.
"Do I smell coffee-- Whoa, that fireplace!"
"Right? It's gorgeous."
"My boss told me where to find the wood, so we are good to go. I'll get it started in a few minutes."
Elia flew in tomorrow, so we made plans to pick up groceries on the way back. Tommy brought a cooler filled for us tonight, including two bottles of wine.
"Important stuff!" He held up the bottles and I laughed.
"You do have your priorities straight anyhow, butthead." He laughed at the old nickname I had for him.
"This is going to be fun, Leah." He came over and bear hugged me, and I wrapped my arms around his waist. I did not realize how much I missed him. Sarah was so much older than us that we were never close, unfortunately.
I brought out the wine, cheese and smoked meats on the table in front of the sofa while he lit the kindling. We sat close, drank, snacked, and talked about everything. One thing that came up was Elia. Neither of us were around her after her junior high years, so we were going to be surprised. Knowing how modest her mom is, we laughed about how Elia might be, and decided she could go either way.
I fell asleep on his shoulder, and after the fire flickered low he woke me up. Tired from the trip and relaxed from the mountain air I fell into a deep sleep at once.

My room glowed pink with the sunrise over the mountains. Normally I would never be awake that early, but the colors were spectacular, and I sat up in bed to watch the sun move higher in the sky. After the show I needed a cup of coffee and ran down in my t-shirt and panties knowing I beat Tommy up because he always slept even later than me.
I snapped the light on in the kitchen and Tommy was standing at the window watching the sun. Too late to leave, I went over to pour myself a cup of coffee. No sense in making a big deal out of it. He wore his sleep shorts, so we were similarly attired anyhow.
"Isn't this something?" If he noticed, he did not say anything and turned back to the sun's rise. I dimmed the light and stood next to him sipping my coffee.
"Something you can't see everywhere, yeah. I watched it from my bedroom for a while," I said softly as though speaking louder would break the spell.
Finally, the sun was high enough to streak through the windows into the back of the house.
"This place is evil," he said. I looked at him. "You get here, and you don't want to leave, to actually start interacting with people again."
"Ah, yeah, you're right about that." I rinsed out my mug. "I guess I better shower. We need to leave soon."
"Okay, you first."

The air had turned cold from yesterday, but the sky was clear and sunny. We waited at the curb at baggage claim. The girl that came out was the vision of Sarah at that age, only much more voluptuous, and frankly, she was a knockout. We had quick hugs, bags stowed and back on the road.
She chattered nonstop and neither of us got much of a word in. She was a bright girl, smart and entertaining. We stopped for groceries and headed up the mountain.
