This is a slightly updated version of the story in response to comments on the first draft, and also some changes required for consistency as I completed Chapters 2 and 3.

I was sitting on the edge of the bed with my shorts around my ankles, a pair of scissors in my hand and a page printed from the Gillette website explaining how to trim my pubic hair beside me when my sister's voice exclaimed "What the hell are you
doing
, Tom?"
I jumped and almost cut into the side of my cock.
Abi stood leaning in the doorway with her arms crossed under her boobs. I had thought I was alone. It was Sunday afternoon, the day my parents always went to the Mall and then Wal-Mart for the week's groceries. I could usually rely on three hours to myself. Abi should be out with her friends, and I had assumed there was no one home but me.
I could feel my face flushing. "Um..." I said.
"Well?" Abi said.
"I was... going to trim my bush." I admitted.
"Why?"
"Well... it's meant to make it look bigger."
"Make what look bigger?"
"You know," I said.
"What?"
"My cock," I said.
"Really?" She looked down at me and laughed, "That would be one hell of trick!"
I was insulted now. "It's not that small, Abi," I protested.
"It doesn't look very big to me," she said.
"And you know all about cocks, I suppose. Besides, it gets bigger. And you gave me a shock - that's going to make it shrink too."
"Huh," she snorted.
Abi and I were fraternal twins who had turned eighteen this summer -- and very non-identical twins. I was near six feet with dark curly hair. Abi was five feet four with curly blonde locks that fell to her chin, framing her face. She was my sister, so I probably wasn't too good a judge of how hot she was, but if I tried to look at her as just another girl then she was pretty hot. Slim, good legs, nicely toned butt that filled her jeans perfectly, flat stomach and sexy boobs. I had sneaked a look at one of her bras a while back and knew she took a 34B size.
Usually we got on really well together - but maybe not today.
I imagine, like all brothers, I'd had those thoughts about Abi. Most of the guys I hung out with who had sisters said they'd had them, and Toby Black told us he'd seen his sister masturbating when he peeked into her bedroom one night and it had really turned him on. But it had never occurred to me that I might ever do anything with Abi. My secret thoughts were pleasant fantasies, but that was strictly where they belonged, in the closet marked: "Nice to think about, but no way!"
Abi remained in the doorway with a crooked smile on her pretty lips. I leaned over and grabbed my shorts and started to pull them up.
"Oh no, don't let me stop you from gaining an extra half an inch," Abi said. "I'm intrigued now."
I looked up at her from my awkward position and waited. She made no move from the doorway.
"If I could have some privacy then?" I said.
"Why? I want to watch, see if it does look any bigger when you've finished."
"Abi!" I said.
"It's you that wants to shave your bush off," she said. "Go ahead, don't let me stop you."
"I don't want to shave it off. Just trim it a bit."
Abi pushed off the door and came into the room, grabbed the printed sheet from the bed and dropped into the armchair pushed back against the window. She read the words slowly, looked up at me, then back at the page.
"It says here you can shave them all off, if you want. Or shave your balls, there's a diagram here how to do that. But it does say you can trim as well." She turned the page to study the drawings. "And shave around the base of it. That's what makes it look bigger, it says here. OK!" She put the paper down and relaxed back into the seat, resting her chin on her hands. "Go ahead."
I stared at her but couldn't think of anything to say.
"What gave you the idea?" she said, putting her head to one side.
I shrugged. "Some of the guys at work were talking. And last week I was showering after my swim and there was this man..." I stopped, embarrassed, hoping Abi didn't think I made a habit of looking at other men in the showers.
"What about him?"
"Well, he'd shaved everything off. At least it looked that way - I didn't get too close."
"And did he look big?"
I nodded.
"Maybe he liked you, Tom. Maybe that's why he looked big. Did you think of that?"
"It wasn't anything like that!"
"You like girls then?" she asked.
I think my mouth fell open. "Of course I do! You didn't think-"
"No, not really," she laughed, " but it's just so easy to tease you, Tom. Go on then, shave those curly bits and let me see how it looks."
"I told you, I'm not going to shave them off, just tidy it up."
"So why the razor?"
"To do around the base," I said. "That's what it said on the website. Taking a bit off around the base will make it look bigger..."
"Like I said, Tom, good trick - but I'm still waiting for the proof."
I was getting mad with her now, as I always did when she acted this way - she could be totally infuriating. She sat there with her chin on her hands, watching me, seeming not in the least embarrassed. Okay, I thought, if she wants to watch then let her, see if I care.
I lowered the scissors again and combed some of the dark curly hair up and trimmed the smallest amount off. It didn't seem too bad, so I worked around some more.
"What about you, Abi, ever thought about a little bush work yourself?"
She laughed. "Don't be shy, Tom, say what you think!"
I shrugged, then realized it was almost a mistake with scissors so close to my cock.
"Only wondering. It's pretty common now, or so I understand."
She smiled. "Let's just worry about your bush for the moment, yeah?"
Five minutes after I started I was beginning to think that I might have taken a bit too much off, but there was no way to put it back, and I guessed it would grow out soon enough.
