Family First Ch. 01

"I don't 'not like' Olivia," she insisted, unable to keep the resentment out of her voice. She couldn't believe that he was seriously trying to make this her fault. "You know what, I'm done talking about this. I just thought you should know. I need to get home for dinner. See you tomorrow." Before he could respond, she got up and left, slamming the door behind her.

She fought back tears as she walked home. All she wanted to do was hide in her room and cry herself to sleep. As she made her way up the stairs, she was surprised to see that the door to her room was open, and the lights were on. Inside, she saw her mother, Diane, sitting on her bed staring back at her, an inscrutable expression on her face.

Good god. What now? she asked herself. The last thing she wanted to do was have a conversation with her mother about any part of this.

"I need to talk to you," Diane said. From the tone of her voice, Christina could tell that something serious had happened. "Come. Sit," Diane said, patting a spot on the bed next to her.

"Sure. What's up?" Christina replied, doing her best to maintain a casual attitude, despite her raging emotions.

"I came into your room this morning to pick up your laundry, and I found something I need to ask you about," she said. Diane hesitated for a moment, then, to her daughter's horror, reached behind her back and produced Christina's diary. It was opened to the most recent entry.

"You read my diary?" Christina asked, unable to hide her anger and fear at what her mother had undoubtedly read.

"I did, and I'm sorry," Diane replied. "It was right in the middle of the floor and open to this page. In all honesty, I kind of thought you wanted me to read it."

I must have knocked it off when I reached for my alarm, she said to herself. She wanted to be angry at her mom for snooping, but she knew she'd have done the same thing if their positions were reversed. Still, she had to come up with some kind of explanation.

"Well, it... it's not what it looks like..." Christina replied, fighting back tears of frustration. She couldn't believe that this terrible day had somehow gotten even worse. She couldn't remember having ever been so embarrassed.

"Well, it looks to me like you spied on your cousin while he was masturbating then did the same thing yourself," Diane replied. Despite her accusation, her voice was cool and neutral.

Christina broke into a cold sweat as she desperately fumbled for a response that would explain away the truth her mother had uncovered, but there was nothing she could say that wouldn't lead to more questions. After a long, awkward pause, she finally settled for the truth.

"I... yeah. It's true..." she said, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "You probably think I'm some kind of freak, don't you?" she asked.

Diane's expression softened. "Well, it was certainly a surprise... But no, I don't think you're a freak," she said, reaching over to lovingly rub her daughter's back and shoulders. "How long have you felt this way?"

"I don't know... for a long time, I guess. I didn't realize it until last night, though." Her mom's familiar touch helped ease her feelings of anxiety, if only a little. "Now he's all I can think about..." She couldn't believe she was talking about this with her mom of all people, but it felt good to get her feelings off her chest.

"Is a sexual relationship with your cousin something you think you would like to pursue? Or is it just a naughty fantasy?"

She was surprised by her mom's non-judgmental tone. "I... I don't actually know. I never really thought about it as something that could actually happen."

"I have to admit It wouldn't exactly be a... conventional relationship," Diane said. She hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're practically an adult, and certainly old enough to make your own decisions. I can't say I'm completely comfortable with the idea of you and Danny having sex, but I want you to know that your father and I will love and support you no matter what you do or who you love."

Tears flowed down Christina's cheeks as Diane spoke. She buried her head in her mom's lap and let all of her pent up emotions flow out of her. She was grateful for her mom's love and support, but she couldn't stop worrying that she'd permanently damaged her relationship with her cousin. Diane gently stroked her daughter's hair while she wept. They sat that way for a long time until Christina started to calm down and sat back up, wiping her eyes with her shirtsleeves.

"Does Danny know how you feel?" Diane asked.

"No. Definitely not."

"Are you going to tell him?"

Christina hesitated. "I don't know... we got in kind of a big fight this afternoon..."

Diane listened patiently as Christina went on to explain what had happened over the last few days. When she was finished, Diane said, "I think you need to tell him how you really feel. It's the only way you're going to work things out."

"But what if he's not interested? What if it makes things weird between us?"

Diane gave her a knowing smile. "Even if he doesn't feel the same way, at least it will clear the air between you. If I know anything about Danny, I know that he cares about you more than anything else in the world. It sounds like he just needed to vent some of his frustration, and you happened to be down range. He'll get over it."

Christina smiled, realizing that her mother was right. Even if Danny wasn't interested in her that way, she knew that feelings of disappointment and regret would consume her if she didn't take a chance. There were a lot of other questions to consider, but none of them seemed that important compared to the one her mother had answered for her. "You're right, I'll talk to him about it," she said, feeling a sudden burst of confidence as the words left her mouth.

"You'll tell me how it goes, right?" Diane asked. Christina thought she sensed a hint of eagerness in her mom's voice.

"Of course!" Christina replied. Her lack of interest in what her mom referred to as 'girl talk' had always been a point of friction between them. She was surprised at how comforting it felt to know that she had someone she could talk to about this, even though she doubted that this was what her mom had in mind when she'd incessantly ask whether there were any cute boys that had caught her eye.

"Good! I'm sure it will all turn out fine. You'll see." She gave her daughter a final, loving squeeze before rising from the bed. "I'm going to order a pizza for dinner. Come on down whenever you're ready," she said as she left.

Christina was a tightly wound mass of excitement and nervousness for the rest of the evening. As she ate dinner with her parents, she wondered whether her mom was going to tell her dad about their conversation. She decided not to worry about it, knowing her mom wouldn't do anything to break her trust.

After dinner, she showered and did some catching up on her school work. When she heard her parents call out goodnight to her and close their bedroom door, she started making preparations for another late-night excursion. Rooting through her closet, she found a red sundress, which she put on over her matching pink bra and panties. The dress showed off her lithe figure and emphasized the freckled expanse of skin above her small, pale breasts. She smiled back at her reflection as she struck a pose, pleased at her appearance.

Once she saw the light in her aunt and uncle's bedroom window go out, she quietly made her way downstairs and across the yard. As she crept barefoot through the grass, she did her best to stay calm. Her heart was pounding, but she knew what she had to do. There was no turning back.

When she reached his window, she peered carefully inside, not sure what to expect. Unlike the previous night, Danny was in bed, reading a novel. He jerked in surprise when Christina knocked on his window. As he approached, she could see from his expression that he was still upset with her.

"Can you let me in?" she asked, her voice low but insistent. "I need to talk to you about something."

"Can it wait until tomorrow?" he asked with an exaggerated yawn.

"No. It can't."

With a sigh, he unlocked his window and pushed it open, allowing her to crawl through. He was surprised and embarrassed when he realized that he was standing before her in nothing but his boxer shorts and a white undershirt.

"I'm sorry for coming so late, but I couldn't stand leaving things the way we did this afternoon," she said.

"You're right," he replied, his expression softening slightly. "I'm sorry for saying what I did about Brett. I know you were just trying to look out for me. I appreciate it, even if I don't always know how to show it."

"It's okay. I understand. I shouldn't have talked to Meghan about you without getting your permission first. This whole thing is my fault." She pulled him into a hug, enjoying the feel of his body against hers. She smiled as she realized that her mom had been right. It was impossible for them to stay mad at each other.

"There's something else, though," she said, stepping back and taking a deep breath. "You were wrong when you said that I still had a crush on Brett. But, whether you knew it or not, you were right that I have a crush on someone."

"Okay... who?" he asked, clearly confused about where this was heading.

"You, Danny. I have a crush on you," she said, surprised at how easily the words came spilling out of her.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, pulling away from her, his face a mask of confusion.

"I'm talking about you. You're the one I want. It just took this thing with Olivia for me to realize it." She was confident now. Even if he rejected her, having gotten it off of her chest felt amazing.

"Wow... Um, I don't know exactly what to say."

"You don't have to say anything," she replied. "But I had to tell you on the one in a million chance that you feel the same way. If you don't, then that's fine. We can pretend like this conversation never happened."

"But... we're cousins. Wouldn't it just be... wrong?"

"Most people probably wouldn't understand," she admitted. "But no one has to know except for you and me." She hesitated, blushing slightly. "There's something else I should tell you."

"There's more?" he asked, wide-eyed in surprise.

She chuckled, slightly embarrassed at what she was about to admit. "Yeah, I guess there is. I talked to Meghan last night, and I wanted to tell you about it right away. I saw the light in your room was still on, so I came over to tell you. When I came up to your window, though, I saw you..."

Realization dawned on Danny's face. He knew exactly what she'd seen and blushed in embarrassment. "You mean you watched me..."

She smiled sheepishly and nodded. "It was the hottest thing I've ever seen. I wanted more than anything to crawl through that window and help you out but I was too scared." She hesitated for a beat. "Would you have liked that?" she asked.

Danny struggled to overcome his shock. "You would really want to do that... with me?"

Christina knew it would take him some time to process what she was saying, but there was no hiding the look of excitement on his face. As if that wasn't enough, the rapidly rising tent in his shorts was a dead giveaway that he was turned on.

"That and so much more," she replied. "-and it looks like you do too." She gave him an impish grin as she openly stared at the outline of his erect cock straining against the fabric of his underwear. Danny was caught completely off-guard by Christina's admission and was only able to stare dumbly back at her.

Realizing that she was going to have to initiate anything that ended up happening between them, Christina closed the blinds, turned back to face him and pulled the hem of her dress over her head in one swift motion, tossing it aside. As she exposed herself to him she felt her nipples harden into sensitive little knots that strained against the inside of her bra.

She stood nervously before him, hoping he wouldn't be disappointed with her body. Her fears were quickly assuaged when she realized that Danny's surprised expression was quickly turning into an excited grin. "Do you like what you see?" she asked, already knowing the answer.

Suddenly aware of himself, Danny blushed and tried to cover his cock while averting his gaze from his cousin's body.

"Don't," she said, grasping his wrist and gently pulling it away from his crotch. "I like that I turn you on. I like letting you see me like this."

"Sorry... This is all just a lot to take in I don't think I've ever been more turned on than I am right now, but are you sure that this is something you really want? What if you regret it later? I couldn't handle it if this ruined our friendship."

"I couldn't either," she replied. "-but I'm one hundred percent certain. I know we can't be together like a real couple, but I love you more than anything, and there's no way I'll regret letting you take my virginity."

"Wow," Danny replied. "I'm not sure there are many men alive who would be able to refuse an offer like that."

Moving onto the bed, Christina leaned back, using her elbows for support as she arched her back towards him. "Well, you've got a horny, half-naked girl in your bed. What do you want to do?"

"Can I kiss you?" he asked.

"That would be lovely," she replied. When Danny didn't move, she sat back up and put her hands on his shoulders. Her heart pounded as she leaned in close to him. They'd hugged many times, but this was different.

Finally taking the initiative, Danny slid his arms around her waist, pulled her body into his, and kissed her for the first time as a woman instead of a cousin. She'd kissed boys before, but this felt completely different. His taste and smell was so familiar, but the context was so different.

Danny was surprised and disappointed when she pulled away. Seeing the look on his face, she smiled lustily at him before diving in for more. This time, she tentatively ran her tongue across his lips and moaned when Danny's tongue came out to meet hers.

For several minutes they passionately made out, lost in their mutual lust. Christina aggressively shoved her tongue into her cousin's mouth, causing him to moan in surprise. Before long, Danny took his turn exploring the inside of Christina's mouth. For several long minutes their tongues wrestled with each other, ratcheting up their passion even further.

Their kiss went on and on, neither of them wanting it to stop. After several minutes, they began to explore each other's bodies. Christina ran her hands over Danny's chest through his t-shirt, feeling the muscles underneath. Danny confined his explorations to his cousin's hips and sides, grazing closer and closer to her bra-covered breasts, but lacking the courage to go any higher.

"Touch them," she whispered, temporarily pulling away from their kiss. "I want to feel your hands all over me, Danny."

That was all the invitation he needed to gently graze over her covered mounds. Christina reacted immediately, arching her back and pushing her sensitive breasts into his hands. He was tentative at first, gently massaging her. Her hard little nipples poked against the lacy material of her bra, and she let out a quiet whimper of pleasure each time his palm brushed across them.

Sensing that his cousin was enjoying the treatment, Danny got more aggressive, groping and squeezing her pale, freckled orbs at an increasingly frantic pace.

"Mmm, fuck, that feels good, Danny," Christina moaned.

She loved the excited look on his face as he had his way with her. Each squeeze of his palm sent a fresh wave of warmth straight to her pussy. Part of her wanted to rip his pants off and demand that he fuck her right then and there.

Just as Danny's hands were finding their rhythm, she pushed him away. From the surprised look on his face, Christina could tell that he thought he'd done something wrong or taken things too far. Without breaking eye-contact with him, she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra, letting it fall unceremoniously into her lap, flashing him a sexy smile.

Danny was captivated by the sight of her breasts. They weren't particularly large, little more than small raised bumps on her small frame. Her nipples and areola were small and pink and they puffed out enticingly from her lightly freckled flesh. For several long moments, he just stared dumbly at them, completely taken with their beauty.

"I'm sorry, I know they're not that impressive," she said. Despite all they'd done, she still felt nervous exposing herself like this.

"Are you kidding? I think they're beautiful!" he exclaimed. "The girls online have nothing on you!"

Christina wrinkled her nose and said, "For future reference, when you've got a naked girl in your bed, bringing up how much time you spend jerking off to internet porn is probably not the best idea."

"Sorry, you're right," he said, suddenly embarrassed.

"Apology accepted. But actions do speak louder than words, you know! Why don't you come over here and show me just how much like these tits." As she spoke, she leaned back against the headboard of his bed, using a large pillow to support herself as she put her breasts on full display. The hungry look on his face made her so hot. Looking down, she saw that a clear wet spot was forming in the V of her panties. She wondered whether Danny had noticed.

Not needing a second invitation, Danny moved to her side and started groping her, exploring every inch of her chest and occasionally leaning in for another deep, open-mouthed kiss. She loved the way his tongue curled and danced with her own. The knowledge that it was her own cousin who was making her feel this way just made it all the more exciting.

Danny paid close attention to her reactions as he toyed with her, wanting to find out the things that really got her juices flowing. He quickly zeroed in on her nipples, noticing the way she moaned and writhed whenever he ran his palm across them. He slowly ran circles around them with his index finger, occasionally tweaking them between his thumb and forefinger.

Each time he pulled on her nipples, Christina let out a whimper of arousal. She could have let him play with her breasts all night. He probably would have, too, but she wanted more.

The next time he leaned down to kiss her, she gently guided his head lower. Knowing instinctively what she wanted, he latched his lips around one of her pink nubs and began to gently suck.

Christina squealed in uncontrollable ecstasy, clasping her hand over her mouth to muffle the sound. Even though they were in the basement, she didn't want to draw her aunt's attention.

She had been nervous and excited as she crawled through Danny's window, but she hadn't been at all prepared for how wonderful it would feel having her cousin make love to her breasts. Every time his warm tongue ran across her engorged nipples it sent a shockwave of pleasure down to her overheated pussy. She held him tightly against her bosom, never wanting the pleasurable sensations to stop.

Danny got off of his hands and knees and sat upright. For several long moments, they just stared at each other. Christina's whole upper body was flushed and her breathing was quick and heavy.

Danny took on an odd expression like he was working a complicated math problem in his head. Finally, he frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Christina."

For a moment, she panicked. "For what?" she asked, unable to keep the fear out of her voice. "That felt so fucking good. Why did you stop?"

He grinned at her, which helped ease her mind. "No, not for this," he said. "This has been the best night of my life. What I'm sorry for is spending so much time pining over girls like Olivia when the most beautiful, smart, caring, and sexy girl I know was right under my nose this whole time. I feel like a complete idiot, and I hope you can forgive me."
