Author's Note
Hello, thanks for all the feedback on the first 3 parts. I already have half an idea for the next part.
There's a perspective change in this story from 1st person to 3rd person and then back again, I hope it makes sense.
All characters are at least 18 years old and you yourself should be 18 years old or older.
I hope you enjoy this story and thanks for reading!

The light streaming through a gap in the curtains woke me, the brightness of a lovely August day had interrupted my lie-in. I blinked and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, noticing just how hot it was even early in the morning. Lifting my head my eyes found the clock on the opposite wall of my bedroom, the hands showed 7.30am. I groaned softly and lay back down on the bed and that was when I discovered that I was not alone. Turning my head I saw a mess of blonde hair and a petite figure beneath the duvet that meant my stepsister had slipped into my bed at some point during the night.
This was not entirely new. In the month and a half since I had taken her virginity Chrissy and I would spend the night in each other's company whenever both of our parents were off on jet-set business trips; 3 weekends, as well as 1 sweet Wednesday night when our parents celebrated their wedding anniversary and stayed in a hotel.
This time, however, both our parents were home.
"Chrissy." I whispered, finding her arm under the covers and giving her a shake. She stirred slightly but no more than that.
"Chrissy!" I whispered again, more sharply this time and I shook her again. She mumbled incoherently and started to move, rolling over onto her front and reaching up to brush her hair out of her eyes.
"Hey." She murmured sleepily.
"What are you doing in here?" I hissed at her. She looked surprised at the sharpness in my voice.
"I was lonely," she replied, reaching out to touch my cheek, "I always sleep better when I'm with you."
I took hold of her hand and pushed her away, starting to frown.
"No really Chrissy, this isn't a good idea. What if one of our parents catches us?"
"Relax," she whispered, "it's OK, mum never comes to wake me up, she hasn't since I was 10. And I've never heard your dad come into your room, I'm not sure he even knows which room is yours."
She smiled at me but I wasn't in a joking mood.
Just at that moment we heard a creek on the landing which told us that one of our parents was coming down the hallway. We both froze as we heard whoever it was open Chrissy's bedroom, a second later we heard her mother calling her name.
I glanced quickly at Chrissy to warn her not to reply but I don't think she could even if she wanted to, she had turned pale.
Even worse was what happened next. Another creek on the landing followed and my stepmother knocked on my bedroom door.
"Jeff?" She called.
I was silently praying that Chrissy had had the sense to lock the door after she'd snuck in during the night.
My stepmother turned the handle and found it locked, I let out a breath I hadn't realised I'd been holding. Finding the door locked she knocked on the door again.
"Jeff!" She called again.
"Hide." I whispered to Chrissy and I pointed to the far side of the bed. I climbed over Chrissy and shouted to let my stepmother know I was coming, as I got off the bed I could hear Chrissy scrambling out of the other side so that she could lie down on the floor and be hidden from her mother's view by the draping duvet and the bed frame.
When I reached the door I quickly looked round to make sure Chrissy was nowhere to be seen and then unlocked the door and opened it. There stood my stepmother. She was shorter than me, 5"6' or so, with waist length wavy dark brunette hair. If I had to guess, given Chrissy's light blonde hair, I'd say my stepmother's hair was dyed. Maybe she thought being brunette was a more professional look, who am I to judge? And I certainly wasn't going to ask her about it any time soon, we were friendly with one another but not exactly chummy.
We might have been friends at any other moment but when I opened the door she did not look friendly at all, she was scowling up at me.
"Maggie," I said with a yawn, "it's a bit early isn't it?"
"Chrissy isn't in her room." Clearly my stepmother wasn't interested in small talk.
"Err yeah," I replied, thinking fast, "her shower wasn't working or wasn't hot enough I don't know, so she's occupied mine. She's been in there for quite a while actually..."
The scowl vanished from my stepmother's face and she sighed in relief.
"Oh. I thought for one moment she'd slipped out to see some boy, I should have known better. " My stepmother laughed. I decided not to tell her just how right she was. "Tell her to hurry up please, and make sure she hasn't forgotten that she asked me to take her shopping this morning. We're leaving at 9."
"Right you are."
"Thanks." She said, and she walked off back down the hallway towards the staircase.
I closed the door and leaned my head on it. That was close. I raised a hand to my forehead and was unsurprised to feel sweat there. It seemed it was time to have a chat with Chrissy about boundaries.
As I rounded the bed I found Chrissy lying on the floor with one hand over her mouth as though she thought the sound of her breathing would give her away. She was still as white as a sheet and, despite the heat of the day, she was shivering. Looking down at her any thought that I might be harsh on her evaporated.
I bent down and took hold of her shoulders and picked her up. she collapsed into me.
"I'm sorry." She whispered into my chest, "I'm sorry. I'm so stupid."
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight to me, she sniffed and started to cry quietly.
"Shh," I whispered, "no harm done."
"I was so foolish," she whispered, "if you're angry with me... I deserve it."
I let go of her and lifted her chin up to make her look me in the eye, her light blue eyes were rimmed with red from crying and there were tear tracks down her cheeks. I gently wiped away her tears and she looked away from me.
"I'm not angry with you-" I told her.
"You should be." Chrissy sniffed.
"I'm not. I'm not going to be angry at you for wanting to be with me-"
"It was so stupid, I-"
I pressed two fingers to her lips to shut her up.
"Stop interrupting me," I told her with a small smile, "I love you and I won't stand to hear you denigrating yourself. So we're going to get in the shower and chalk this up to experience and never mention it again. OK?"
Chrissy nodded and I bent to kiss her.
"Good." I said and I took her by the hand and led her into my bathroom.
The hot water of the shower seemed to help Chrissy calm down a bit, and I spent as much time as I dared, conscious that her mother was waiting, massaging the shower gel into her shoulders and back. Neither of us were in the mood for sex, we didn't have time anyway, but even the briefest of touches from my stepsister soon got me hard. After I'd finished lathering her back with shower gel she turned and my erection brushed against her hip, making her smile the first smile since we heard the creek of the landing. I winked at her and pulled her in for a brief kiss before I indicated that we should get out of the shower and dry off, and a few minutes later Chrissy was running across the landing from my bedroom to hers to get dressed. I closed the door behind her and leant against it, once more thinking of how lucky we were to escape detection.

It was true what my stepmother had said - that Chrissy had asked her to for a lift to the local shopping centre so that she could buy some clothes, apparently she needed a new wardrobe for when she moved to Uni in late September, I was trying not to think of how empty the house would be when she finally departed.
But when they returned later that day it was clear that my stepmother was happy for an excuse to go shopping, laden down as she was with several bags from Gap and Zara. Unfortunately I was sitting in the living room when they came through the front door.
"Jeff? Be a dear and go and bring the rest of the bags would you?" My stepmother instructed me. Isn't it strange how women can make commands sound like small requests?
I did as she asked and brought in another armful of her shopping and placed the bags at the foot of the stairs. There was a lot of stuff.
At this point I should say that our parents were going off on holiday the following Friday to the Seychelles so some of the new clothes would be for their trip- I could see a few bikinis and skirts in the shopping bags.
