Maggie and Jim were shaken out of their blissful state when they heard their father’s car draw up. Maggie scowled as she heard the load voices of their parents out on the drive.
‘Their not supposed to be back until this evening.’ She complained.
Jim shook his head. ‘You know what they’re like. They’ve probably decided to cancel their plans so they can watch something on TV.’
‘… But I wanted to spend more time with you Jim.’ Maggie moaned as she hastily grabbed her crumpled clothes and trotted off to her bedroom.
Jim grinned ‘No problem Sis. I’m sure we can work something out.’ He called after her. He then picked up his own discarded clothes and shoved them into the washing basket.
Back in his room Jim found a pair of cut-offs and a T-shirt. He pulled them on, and was just about to open his door when his mother came in.
‘Jim love, we decided to come home to eat rather than stay on at Jess’s. She had to be somewhere else. The only trouble is we’ve not got anything in. Could you be an angel and go down to the shop for some groceries.’ Jim sighed. He had no problem with helping out around the house; it was just that he, like Maggie would rather have continued playing their games. Now he was going to have to wait. He nodded his head and took the list his mother had offered.
‘I’ll need the car for all this!’ he exclaimed as he surveyed the piece of paper.
‘That’s all right darling. I’ll just see if Maggie can give you a hand.’ Jim struggled to hold back a big smile, as he thought about the irony of his mother’s comment. She turned towards her daughter’s bedroom door and gave it a knock.
‘Hell, she never gives me that consideration.’ Jim thought ruefully. Then he allowed himself to smile, as he thought about what his mum would have found if she had barged in on Maggie earlier.
Maggie was prepared for her mother on this occasion though. She looked up from some studying she was pretending to do and smiled. ‘Hi, mum. You’re home early!’
‘Yea, we had planned to stay longer, but Jess had a last minute booking she had to fulfil.’ Replied her mother, Annie. “Maggie would you be a darling and help Jim get the shopping?’ Maggie gulped quickly, and hopefully not too obviously, before smiling up at her mother again.
‘Sure, no problem; do you want us to go now?’ Annie nodded and handed her daughter her bankcard.
Maggie was both excited, and nervous at having to do something ‘normal’ with Jim. Although only half an hour before they had both been naked in the bathroom, it all seemed a little unreal now. Had they really fucked each other? Now in the cool light of early evening, a small doubt crept into her mind. Surely what they had done was really bad? But how could such an exciting, and loving relationship be really bad? They were both grown-up enough to make their own minds up about their actions, and who cared about what other people might think anyway? They were never going to know.
As she pondered this last thought, Jim emerged from his room and gave her a broad smile. ‘Come on sis, mum wants us to take the car and get some stuff in, are you coming?’ She nodded and returned the smile, and as she looked across the hall at her younger brother Maggie felt her nipples harden under the soft fabric of her blouse. She’d put on a bra, but she knew that it could do nothing to hide her arousal.
‘Quick let’s get out of here!’ she whispered, and reached out her hand to her brother. Jim took it quickly and gave it a squeeze before letting it fall again.
‘We can’t go round holding hands.’ He muttered under his breath. ‘At least not in the house.’ Maggie nodded in agreement and made her way out to the car. Fortunately, neither of their parents were around as they left, otherwise Maggie would have had to find a way to cover her breasts.
The siblings said nothing to each other for the first few minutes of the journey; and then Maggie broke the silence. ‘You don’t regret it do you?’ she asked nervously. ‘I mean I know what we did was wrong, but it was fun, right?’
Jim looked over at his sister, and for the first time in his life he felt responsible for her, and the way she felt. ‘I don’t regret a thing Maggie.’ He replied seriously. ‘… And I’m not sure I think it was wrong. I know that’s what people out there might say, but we’re not them. We’re us, you and me, and we love each other.’
Maggie looked over at him quickly. ‘Say that again Jim!’
‘Which bit?’ Jim asked in mock ignorance.
‘The bit about love.’ Replied his sister. ‘Do you mean you love me more than before?’
Jim nodded, and kept his eyes on the road. He hadn’t meant to come out with it like that. After all, how could he really know if he was in love with Maggie or not? His sister, however, knew he was right. She certainly felt a burning love for her brother now, and it wasn’t just lust either.
‘Go with the feeling Jim. Let’s allow ourselves to love one another! Am, am, I the first girl you’ve ever done it with?’ Maggie stammered and blushed as she asked this, and to hide her burning face she looked out of the side window. Jim was all set to lie to his sister about his experience, but as he opened his mouth to deny it, he found himself telling her the truth instead.
‘Yea, yea, you are. I’ve got pretty close before, but something always got in the way.’
Maggie turned back to him ‘I thought it was your first time. It was mine as well with a guy. I never really wanted to do it until now.’
