My sister and I are your average siblings - we like each other but we fight occasionally, we enjoy being around each other but we (or usually I) enjoy being by ourselves too. Melanie isn't big (5'2, 130 lbs) but she's the adventurous one - she enjoys sports, camping, skiing and generally anything that is outdoors. I'm just over 6' and 220, people say I'd be great at football but I'm the quieter one - video games, reading, not really into sports - a walk along the river is my idea of wilderness. It was just her, mom & I - dad had walked out a few years ago and hadn't seen or heard from him since, there were 'rumours' he'd moved to Europe somewhere.
Mel and I are twins, had just turned 20 a couple of months ago and we'd both been working since high school to get some money for college/university. I am planning on living at home and working for another year because I really hadn't figured out what I wanted to do yet, but Mel has decided to move to Ottawa (about 8 hr drive away) for sports medicine at university. For years she's wanted to do a canoe trip in northern Ontario but hasn't been able to make it work. None of her girlfriends were interested and mom wouldn't let her go with any of the boyfriends she'd had.
Of course, that left me and I had pretty much no interest in going but she was slowly wearing me down and had recently got mom on her side saying it would be a fun 'bonding' thing before she moved out. Finally Mel said, "Look, I know you really don't want to do this but I really do and once I'm in university or working I don't know when I'll be able to do it. Please say yes - I'll do all the planning & you just have to come along and paddle." It wasn't as much what she said as how she said it, ever since we were young there'd been something about the look on Mel's face when she REALLY wanted something that was almost impossible to say no to.
Long and short of it, I said yes and got a huge hug from her and a smaller hug and a 'thank you' from mom. We 'prepped' before the trip - we were both good swimmers and she'd dragged me out canoeing on a nearby lake enough that I was comfortable in a canoe (and it wasn't actually that bad). We had most of the gear she wanted and was able to borrow the rest, she'd promised to look after the cooking and would only need a litle help setting up the tent.
Now here it was several weeks later and we were loading all the gear, food and whatever else Mel had brought into the canoe for our 8 day trip - too late to turn back now.
First day things went well. The paddle wasn't too hard, only one portage and because we'd started late we didn't go much further before we found a nice little campsite. We (more Mel than me) got everything set up, supper cooked, dishes done, a bit of a campfire and went to bed. We woke up a lot earlier than I wanted to - I quickly realized there were no 'blinds' to keep the daylight out and a lot more noises than at home. I was a bit sore from the paddling but soon we were packed down and on the water again.
She'd picked a nice route - we saw a fair bit of wildlife and the views were great. The end of the second day didn't come soon enough - I was tired and while I wasn't hating it, I certainliy wasn't loving it either. We were camped on a island because Melanie said meant there was less chance of bears and stuff on an island which was fine by me). We had everything set up but had to canoe back over to the mainland about 200 meters away to find some firewood because there wasn't much of anything left on the island. While we were gathering wood, I suddenly felt colder and realized the wind had picked up. I was just going to say something to Mel when the first rain drops started and before we could get to the canoe it was pouring. Thankfully it wasn't a long trip back to camp but by the time we got there we were drenched, cold and even though the rain had stopped the wind was still cold and neither of us could get a fire going.
We had taken turns turns changing into dry clothes in the tent but as it got dark we quickly found we were still cold and both of us were starting to shiver so we decided to call it a night and headed to the tent. I'd heard of hypothermia but soon I was experiencing it - even in the sleeping bag I was shivering uncontrollably and when I heard "fuck I'm freezing" from Mel's side of the tent I knew it wasn't just me.
"Ok, outdoor person - what do we do now?" I asked a little sarcastically with chattering teeth.
"I'm not sure but maybe if we put the bags together and got closer we'd be able to get warmer"
We hadn't shared a bed since we were little and it wasn't something either of us had planned on but the cold won and soon we were together with the two bags zipped together, me with my boxers and her with underwear and a t-shirt. It took a bit to find a position that was comfortable and didn't feel awkward so we ended up with her curled up against my back. It took a while but eventually I could feel my back getting warmer and she must have warmed up too because eventually we fell asleep like that. It was just getting light out when I woke up and realized we'd both rolled over during the night and I was spooned behind her - ok, no big deal. What was a big deal was when I realized that my hand was basically over her boob (explained the great dream I'd been having) and a bigger deal was when I realized how hard and big her nipple was against my hand.
Now growing up we'd seen each other in underwear, bathing suits and pyjamas occasionally but I had no clue that her nipples were that big - I could easily feel it through the t-shirt. I didn't want to wake her so I slowly pulled my hand away and was surprised that as I moved my hand, I could feel her nipple get even bigger. Ok, I know I should have just kept moving my hand away but I couldn't resist running my hand down to see if her other nipple was as hard and if anything it was harder. Now Mel isn't big in the boob department - I'd guess maybe an 'A' cup and in really good shape with all the sports she plays. I went back and forth between her nipples a few times and I could feel her breathing speed up a bit but when I felt her tense up it scared the crap out of me because I thought I'd been busted but then she relaxed again. As I was laying there just feeling her nipple against my hand, she mumbled something, rolled over toward me and then suddenly opened her eyes.
"Oh my god, I wasn't dreaming!" were her first words, followed by "fuck, now you know what a freak I am" and she rolled away again and I was pretty sure she was almost in tears.
I had no clue what was happening so I put my hand on her shoulder and asked what she meant by a freak and when she answered, it was so quietly that I had to move closer just to hear her say, "my nipples are huge, they're long and get so hard I have to wear clothes that hold them back. It's so embarrassing!"
"They can't be that big - I've never noticed them before" I said, trying to make her feel better.
"That's because you've never seen me without an 'armoured' bra - even my bathing suits have to have solid cups that don't show my nipples when I'm swimming."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you. I woke up with my arm over you, my hand was on your...boob and I could feel your nipple against my hand. I shouldn't have but I couldn't resist touching you more and then you tensed up I thought you'd woken up and you'd be pissed - fuck I'm sorry!"
"Tensed up...what...oh shit" was her strange reply and I felt her shift a bit. "Oh god..this is getting worse and worse!"
I knew I was missing something but wasn't sure what so I asked, "What's embarrasing - I'm the one that was touching you."
"Yes but...oh fuck, I can't believe I'm saying this... I thought I was dreaming about being with an old boyfriend and had just had an orgasm but now I think I came in my sleep from being touched -they're big but really sensitive and the more aroused I get, the longer they get"
Now things all clicked into place and even though I likely shouldn't have, I just had to ask "just how long do they get?"
"Over an inch sometimes - that's why I said I'm a freak. Even the girls in the change room used to tease me about them."
