Brothers and Sisters

"You're coming with us." Cindy added confidently as she beamed a grin over at Jake.

He thought it over quickly, he would be out with three beautiful girls where they sold alcohol.

"Yeah I'm in, haven't been there in ages, my friends are lame." He replied winking at Cindy.

Her smile changed from cute to calculating and Jake grinned as he went off to shower , he thought he would like where that smile would take him.

"I feel a bit weird." Carmen said as her brother left, not used to dressing more alternative. She looked down at herself then up at her friends.

"You look really hot Car." Kate said looking her up and down and nodding to herself.

"Yeah you really do." Cindy added. "Jake seemed to think so too."

"Huh?" Carmen replied looking over at her little Japanese friend.

"Ask him when he comes back, I saw him looking you over." Cindy said sounding sure of herself.

"Sure, what ever." Carmen replied but she did feel a little better.

Jake was ready in record time; showering, throwing on a pair of jeans, Ramones shirt and slipping on his well used converse. He slipped his rosary over his head and clamped his favourite black armband with the words 'Life or Death' embellished on it. He quickly joined his sister and her two friends as they jumped into Kate's Q7.

"You look hot Jake." Kate said as she sat in the back with her best friend's brother. Cindy was designated driver and Carmen had called shot gun.

"Thanks Kate." Jake replied thankfully having mastered not blushing. It took some effort though. "You all look great."

The thought had come to him that they had all seen each other naked and engaging in various naughty acts for each other and he could feel the sexual tension floating around them in the car, so palpable he could almost touch it. He decided to let what ever happened, happen. He would just go with the flow. Very Zen, he thought to himself and chuckled.

"What are you laughing about?" Cindy asked from the front looking at him through the rear view mirror, a questioning look on her face.

"Nothing, just something one of my friends said." Jake said, the lie coming easily to his lips.

"So what do you think about Carmen's clothes today? She doesn't usually do the alt girl does she?" Cindy asked shooting a mischievous look over at her friend beside her.

Carmen shot her an annoyed look but quickly looked back to see what her brother's reply would be.

"Yeah, she doesn't." Jake said catching his sister's eye. "You should more often, you look really hot." Jake didn't know if that was going too far. He knew his sister hadn't shared what they had done together with her two close friends. Yet. Still, he didn't want to blow their cover.

"Told you." Cindy whispered to Carmen as she started to slow and hooting as she came to a stop outside her house. They saw the door open and Kaeda appear.

"Wow Cindz, Kaeda's super cute." Jake said looking from younger sister to older sister and then back again.

Kaeda came bounding toward the car in skinny jeans, black converse and a short black top that showed off her killer abs. Her hair had been cut longer on the left side so it fell over her eyes and was spiked up at the back. Jake had always been attracted to the alternative girl look and Kaeda was his living, walking, breathing fantasy.

"Hey ladies." Kaeda said slipping in next to Kate then looking over at Jake and his clearly admiring gaze and adding, "And gentleman." Her look mirrored Jake's. She clearly liked what she saw.

Everyone in the car laughed and Cindy hit the gas as conversation quickly started up.

Jake felt like a rock star. Everyone turned and looked as he walked into the club surrounded by nubile, absolutely gorgeous women. He let his eye's roam around and could see the looks they were all receiving and couldn't help a smug smile finding its way to his face. Carmen had ended up next to him and finally caught his eye. Jake grinned sheepishly at her as he saw her amused expression but she just bumped her hip into his and followed Jake to the bar. The music was spilling out from the dance floor, the bass reverberating through all of them.

Soon they had ordered a round of drinks and headed off to find a table. Jake found it hard to get a word in as the four girls talked back and forth so just sat back, sipped his drink and enjoyed the ride. Sometime after they arrived Hannah showed up, her dyed red hair sticking to her face in places. Just arrived from the dance floor was Jake's first thought. Kaeda and Hannah squealed a little and hugged then quickly started talking. Jake was sure he heard his name being mentioned but with the music so loud he couldn't quite be sure. Hannah did shoot him a look however. They buried their heads together once more and started giggling then Hannah got up.

"We're going to the dance floor." She said grabbing Kaeda and pulling her to her feet and seeming to be insinuating something.

"You coming?" The Japanese girl said looking straight at Jake who got deer in a headlights syndrome for a second before his sister kicked him under the table.

"Of course." He replied, going for smooth and suave but thinking he probably got breathless and a little intimidated.

Kaeda motioned with her head to the dance floor and Hannah leading her by the hand, they both started weaving through the club. Jake took a deep steadying breath then got to his feet.

"She's my little sister Jake!" Cindy shot at him and he turned and gave a nod and crooked smile in return as he followed Hannah's hair through the crowd.

"You know he'll be a good boy." Carmen said moving closer to Cindy on the bench and Kate just laughed.

"I'm more worried about Jake." The blonde girl said as she sipped her drink and looked around the crowd.

"That's why I was warning him, she's my sister after all, I know how she operates." Cindy said winking at her two friends.

Jake didn't know where to look. He had been caught staring at both Kaeda and Hannah as they danced around so many times he couldn't keep count anymore. They didn't seem to mind it much though; in fact they seemed to be enjoying the attention. He couldn't really help it though. Kaeda seemed to ooze sex appeal as she dance around, her tight little body seemed to draw the eye and Jake had caught several guys giving her the once over, twice over. Hannah seemed different, when she danced she seemed to completely zone out. It was like she was dancing alone and for herself only and that in itself had its own major appeal. Her almost metallic red hair was also hard to miss and framed her ridiculously pretty face. He thought that maybe he was in heaven. Dancing to his favourite music with two hotties. Life was good.

The air cons blasted through the dance floor were fighting a losing battle against the heat but no one seemed to care. A few people came and left but most people continued to dance as the music got better and better. Some Chevelle, Queen's of the Stone Age, Muse and a little old school from Nirvana kept everyone happy. Paramore, Hannah's favourite band came on and both girls screamed and immediately started singing along as they started dancing together. Jake danced off to the side, his eyes glued on the two and blood quickly going south. They really looked amazing together. Images of the two of them together in a far more intimate embrace burned through his mind. He shook his head and continued to dance.

Then life got better. Much better. Suddenly girls started dancing around him widening into a circle with Hannah and Kaeda at its centre. Jake looked around to see that his sister and her two friends had been joined by his eldest sister and her friend Ella whom Jake had always had a major crush on.

Ella was just a bit taller than Kate, just about his height. She had long brown hair that had been chased with a vivid blue streak and a perfect body. She was on the track team for her varsity and all the long distance running kept her body tight, toned and fat free. She was wearing a Ramones shirt like Jake but it seemed to be a size to small and hugged her toned body proudly displaying her braless breasts. He knew from both his sister's that she was a bit of a wild child but just looking at her, anyone could make that assumption. Maria and Ella both said their hello's to Jake, Ella even gave him a kiss on the cheek. Jake jumped a little when her hand slid from his back and squeezed his ass. She just gave him her well perfected devilish smile and went off to dance next to Maria.

Jake was somehow sure that he had been catapulted into a parallel universe. He hadn't been bad with the ladies but in recent weeks thinks seemed to be on a whole other level. He grinned to himself then turned and walked off the dance floor. A few of the girls shouted after him and he turned and mouthed 'drink!' Ella, Kaeda, Hannah and Kate all gave him naughty smiles and went back to dancing.

"Four girls? Seriously?" Jake said to himself then just shook his head as he walked to the bar the added, "Definitely parallel universe."

"Sorry?" The bartender said looking at him strangely.

"Whiskey and water. Jack please." Jake said. He was sure the bar tender thought he was crazy.

The girls had danced for a few more songs then en masse had spilled from the dance floor and quickly surrounded him as they began to order drinks. As soon as the drinks had been handed out he was dragged to a table, one hand in Ella's grasp the other in Kaeda's. Both girls looked at each other then sat down on either side of him as the all piled into a booth.

The smug smile made a reappearance as he saw the looks he was getting. Arriving with four hotties was impressive. It had now grown to seven. Seven very different very hot girls and Jake thought it was either a parallel universe or heaven. He still couldn't decide which. Ella squeezed his hand and gave him a kiss on the cheek as she went off to talk to a friend and Jake's hand tingled.

"Kaeda, you better watch out for Ella, she's territorial." Maria warned jokingly.

"I'm Japanese; my kung-fu is way strong." Kaeda replied off hand, kissing Jake's other cheek and taking his hand as she continued her conversation with Hannah.

Jake couldn't help but blush and all the girls laughed. He caught a look of amusement on his eldest sister's face but Carmen's seemed a little more complex. There was a twinkle in her eyes, but a moment before he could have sworn there a hint of jealously. He was flustered by that look but he thought he might have imagined it, she was looking happy enough now.

It went on that way for awhile, the girls making fun of him in a good natured way. Ella returned and immediately took up Jake's other hand and intertwined it with her own on the table, clear for Kaeda to see. All the girls laughed and both Kaeda and Ella joined in. Jake did nothing but blush slightly. He couldn't, however, deny that he was having the time of his life.

"Oh yes, we're dancing!" Kaeda said as a new song started pumping through the club as she pulled Jake up and dragged him off to the dance floor.

"Wow Maria, when did your brother turn into a grade A hottie?" Ella said looking wistfully after Jake as he disappeared onto the dance floor.

"He's certainly grown up a lot a must say." Maria looked over at her sister and they shared a smile. The pictures they had seen of Jake were cycling through both their minds.

"I second that." Kate added.

"Ok, I've just met him tonight but yeah, total hottie." Hannah added and all the girls laughed.

Jake was dancing with Kaeda but was having a hard time concentrating. She was being very tactile, running her hands over his chest and his arms and looking up into his face often. They were both having a great time when a new song came on and the other girls quickly piled into the dance floor.

"This song is awesome!" Jake shouted into Kaeda's ear as Nine Inch Nail's Closer started up.

"Yeah it's like the most sex charged song ever!" Kaeda screamed back with a naughty little grin and Jake could only nod and grin back in reply.

"You're hogging my girl!" Hannah said as she leaned into Jake.

"Don't worry I can share!" Jake said back in a moment of inspiration. Hannah made a show of looking him up and down then nodding.

"That's an option." The girl replied as she sidled up to Kaeda and the two started grinding together to the music. Jake could imagine few things sexier.

Carmen nudged Cindy and pointed out her brother and Cindy's sister, as they danced, having just witnessed the whole thing.

"Seems like Jake and Kaeda are having a good time!"

"Yeah, she's very taken. But I think we all are!" She shouted back. She had been watching how Carmen and Jake had been acting around each other, and she guessed they might have taken it a step further than pictures. She wasn't one hundred percent sure but the vibe between them had changed. Kaeda whispered something in Hannah's ear then the two of them seemed to edge toward Jake.

"Five seconds." The DJ called over the loud speaker and a few of the new people looked around wondering what he meant.

Suddenly the dance floor was plunged into darkness. At Midnight every time it was open, on the stroke of midnight, the lights and music on the dance floor were shut down for exactly a minute.

Jake felt someone slid into his arms; hands grab the back of his head and pull him down. He felt lips on his chin then a tongue lick up his chin to his mouth. He moved his hands around a tight little body and drew the girl to him as their mouths met. There was no hesitation, their tongues slid over each other as they seemed to fight for dominance. Their bodies pressed together and Jake couldn't be any closer if he had tired. The girl took his bottom lip in her mouth and started to suck as the music came back on and then she was gone. Jake felt like melting, it was one of the hottest kisses he had ever had and he had a sneaking suspicion who it had been. The lights returned and Jake wasn't able to move for a second as the music surged through everyone on the dance floor. He finally started dancing again and he looked around at the girls surrounding him. He had seen Kaeda turn slightly as the lights had flickered on and knew it had been her. For some reason a line he had heard from a movie slipped into his mind.

'She kisses like a nymphomaniac on death row.'

It was an apt expression. Carmen gave him a questioning look from across the circle and he realised his residual feelings from the kiss were probably still all over his face. He winked at his youngest sister and she just laughed as she continued to dance.

Jake walked of the dance floor heading toward the bathrooms. As he was returning a beautiful girl cornered him.

"So who are you handsome?" She asked. Jake couldn't help but look her up and down and he liked what he saw. She was average height with a good figure and big breasts that she was showing off in a tight jean mini skirt and little black crop top. He black hair fell around her face that seemed to have a naughty expression stamped there.

"I'm Jake. Nice to meet you." He said holding out his hand but the girl embraced him pushing her breasts firmly into his chest.

"I'm Tracey." She said as she took a step back, leaving her hands around his waist. "I've seen you here a few times before."

"Yeah I've come here a few times with my friends but they don't seem to like it as much as I do." Jake replied feeling a little uncomfortable. She seemed a little to intent on him, like he was something to eat.

"What a shame." Tracey replied, "Next time you want to come just call me, I'll be your friend." Jake could only smile as he as her hands were moving up and down his back and couldn't help leaning back ever so slightly.

"Jake. Hmmm, what do we have here?" Kaeda said from him to Tracey and giving the girl a look of loathing.

"None of your business, Kaeda." Tracey said finally letting go of Jake and turning to face the Japanese girl. Jake knew they must have a history and was about to get in between the two girls.

Tracey seemed more the type to fight then Kaeda and he knew where his loyalty lay. They both tensed up as if ready for a fight when Ella appeared behind Kaeda's back and put her arms around her waist, leaning her chin on the smaller Asian girl's shoulder.

"Run along Tracey. Jake's taken." She said and Tracey, looking angry turned around to walk away.

"Remember my offer Jake." The girl said over her shoulder as she sent him a smouldering look then disappeared onto the dance floor.

"It seems we're going to have to keep Jake out of trouble, you and I." Ella said looking down at Kaeda and kissing her cheek. She then smiled at Jake as she went off to rejoin the group. Kaeda laughed a little at the look on Jake's face and he blushed.

"And that?" He asked.

"Tracey made the mistake of hooking up with Ella's boyfriend a couple of years back. Ella slapped the shit of out her. No one messes with Ella here." Kaeda added winking at Jake. "Tracey's a serious skank, you can do much better."

"I can think of someone much better." Jake said looking down at Kaeda meaningfully and taking her into his arms. "So you kinda kissed me." He stated.

"Damn and I thought I had been so sneaky." Kaeda replied sarcastically smiling up at Jake.

He looked into her liquid brown eyes and he went onto autopilot. His face moved down toward hers and as their lips were about to touch, her eyes closed. Their lips met in a much more hesitant way then the first time. Electricity seemed to jolt through Jake as he opened his mouth, their lips sliding over one another and his tongue sliding into her mouth. Kaeda moaned and melted into his arms and the kiss. A shiver went through his body at the sound. Finally they both came up for air opening their eyes at the same time staring at each other. Kaeda's eyes were sparkling and she kissed him once more on the lips as she slid out of his arms, grabbing his hand and leading him back to the table where all their friends were.

Jake noticed all the girls were looking at them with varying degrees of mirth written on their faces and they quickly looked away and started giggling to themselves.

"Don't worry, they're all just jealous." Kaeda said and he thought about what she might be trying to imply. Jake looked for his sister first and once again thought he saw a hint of jealously. He could be making things up. She couldn't be jealous. Could she?

They sat down as Hannah made space for them and Jake saw Hannah motion toward him out of the corner of his eye. Kaeda responded with a sexy little moan and a whispered 'oh, yes.'

Jake tired to hide his grin but thought he failed miserably.

****

"So same time tomorrow?" Kaeda asked as Kate's Q7 pulled to a stop outside her house.

"Yeah it was fun. The Goths weren't so scary." Kate replied laughing.

"Definitely." Jake said squeezing Kaeda's hand as she left. Hannah shifted over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, her hand trailing down his arm as she stepped out of the car.

Cindy slipped out of the driver's door and Carmen came around to her side to carry out the driving duties. The Asian girl noticed her friend was a little distracted and it seemed her suspicions from earlier were true. She pulled her friend into a tight embrace and kissed her on the cheek.

"Everything will be good, Car." She whispered in her ear and turned before a shocked looking Carmen had time to reply. She waved goodbye to Kate and followed her sister and Hannah into the house.

Carmen drove home in silence as Kate and Jake made small talk. She had a sinking suspicion that Cindy knew some of what had been going on with her and Jake. She couldn't deny that she had been a little aggravated by the attention her brother had received, from Ella and Kaeda. Ella was beautiful, a little crazy but absolutely gorgeous. She was older then Jake and just seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of self confidence and Carmen was jealous of that. She knew she didn't have a claim to her brother, even after what they had done, maybe because of what they had done, but.. She didn't know anymore. She was just confused. She knew she shouldn't have felt jealous but she did. She couldn't deny that fact and it seemed she wasn't able to hide it as well as she had thought. She sighed as they arrived home and joined Kate in getting ready for bed. Kate fell asleep quickly but Carmen lay on her bed staring up at the ceiling, not really knowing what to think but thinking all the same.
