Debt
It was almost noon when Brad stumbled down the stairs into the kitchen. He was still groggy from oversleeping. Everyone seemed to be out, which was fine with him, except for Cassie, who was sitting with Lisa at the table, holding her hand. Brad glared first at their intertwined fingers, then at both of them.
"Hi," Lisa said brightly.
Brad didn't feel bright himself. He was already in a bad mood from too little sleep, then sleeping too late. Seeing his little sister holding hands with Lisa, immediately after they'd just spent an entire night together, set him off. She'd made inspired love to his cock, he'd come into his little sister's mouth, then they fell asleep, she awoke in his arms like an angel, then she came down here to show affection to Lisa.
He thought they had broken up.
Brad leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, trying to think things though. He couldn't get past his jealousy. It angered him to see them holding hands, more than it should, he knew, but he couldn't fight back the feelings. He stormed over to them and made a show of pulling their hands apart, then went to the refrigerator to find something cold to drink.
"I should go," he heard Lisa say, presumably to Cassie.
"I'll join you," Cassie answered unexpectedly, angering him more.
Brad scowled into the refrigerator as he listened to them leave.

It was another hour before Brad decided to head down to the boat and go sailing alone. When he got to the dock, Cassie and Lisa were there first, already getting ready to cast off.
He stopped a distance away, not wishing to seem like he was following them, but wanting to intrude anyway. Lisa saw him and waved him over. Cassie looked, too, giving him a thin, timid smile. If she hadn't done that, he would have turned and left. Instead he approached warily, trying to think of a smooth excuse to leave if things got more awkward.
"We were just heading out to the island to let me collect my debt," Lisa said with a smirk. "You really should come, too. To be fair, I think you should pay part of it."
This all confused Brad, and obviously it was meant to. Cassie sat in the boat smirking too as Lisa walked forward to release the dock line at the bow. He didn't like the thought of them going to their island together. Brad thought of it as he and Cassie's private refuge. But the mention of a debt was baffling. Lisa's lighthearted, laughing tone didn't fit the situation, either.
"I don't want to get in your way," Brad said, releasing the line at the stern.
"Look," Lisa said over her shoulder, suddenly showing a hint of anger. "We were just holding hands, okay? It was nothing. We're girls. Girls do that kind of thing. We were sharing a heartfelt moment, and we touched each other. Get over it."
"Girls don't usually fuck each other. I thought you said you were breaking up," Brad said as he stepped into the cockpit. "I thought you sluts had broken up."
Cassie slapped him, hard, across the face. It came out of nowhere. She'd never, ever raised a hand to anyone that he could remember. His face stung. The tingling spread and intensified as he looked at her in confusion and shock.
She glared at him, then instantly softened. She flung her arms around his neck, burying her face in his chest. She felt so good there, Brad thought. A moment later she lifted her mouth to his to give him a deep, soulful kiss, quickly forcing her tongue between his lips to hunt for his. He responded only hesitantly, but couldn't hold back for long. She kissed too well.
Her lips were just like she was, soft and shy, but clever and mischievous, and warm and pleasant and irresistible.
When Cassie had had enough, she pulled away and put her face back in his chest, holding him tightly. Brad kept his own eyes squeezed closed, enjoying the warm, fragile feel of her frame in his arms. He felt the boat begin to slide away from the dock as Lisa pushed it off on her own.
"Hey, lovebirds, wanna help?" she called as she went to the mast to raise the jib.
Brad's mood lightened at her choice of words. He liked the thought of he and Cassie as lovebirds. Thinking now about Lisa's tone, and Cassie's behavior, it looked like he had been being a jerk, maybe a big jerk, although he didn't understand much of what was going on.

Tara had watched her younger brother and sister hold their tight embrace as the sailboat slipped smoothly away from the dock, with Lisa at the helm. She kept replaying their kiss in her head. She'd never seen a couple so into each other.
They did make a cute couple, she had to admit. A cute incestuous couple, though. She and Aimee had to do something to get them under control.
Tara headed back to the house, to tell Aimee that Brad and Cassie had already taken the boat, so hey couldn't go sailing now. Then she'd tell her everything else she'd seen.

Once the boat was well clear of shore and under way, Brad sat close to Cassie. She immediately leaned on his shoulder. He put his arm around her, comfortably, pulling her closer. She felt good under his arm, too. She felt good anywhere, as long as she was touching him.
