It was very late as he slipped into the room. The full moon shining in through the open window cast the bed in a warm glow, illuminating the form lying there. He hesitated for a moment or two, pondering if he should do this or not. Finally he moved forward and slipped under the covers, lightly molding himself to her back, one arm across her side and gently touching her stomach. He lay there luxuriating in the feel of her against him. After several minutes, a soft voice came from her.
"Aren't you in the wrong room?" it inquired.
"No, I'm right where I want to be."
"But this is not your bed."
"I know, but my bed is so empty and lonely. I thought it would be better snuggled against a nice warm body."
"Most people wouldn't approve of a brother getting in bed with his sister."
"I know, but all I'm doing is snuggling. It's no different than a hug, lying down."
"There is that." She paused for a moment, and then continued, "So all you want is a warm body?"
"That's it. That's why I'm here. I'm not here because I think you are the most beautiful and sexiest woman I've ever known."
"In that case it's okay"
They both lay there awhile, soaking up the comfort from the other. Eventually her soft voice came back.
"You really think I'm beautiful and sexy?"
"There's never been anyone to compare with you."
"Thanks, that means a lot coming from my very handsome brother."
"You're welcome."
Again there was a long silence while they lay there, each of them enjoying the security and warmth of the other one next to them.
"So, what would be different if that's why you were here?" she murmured.
"If what was why I was here?"
"If you were here because you thought I was beautiful and sexy, what would be different?"
