Brother and Sister Reconnect {closed for MidnightBliss}

[Inspirinious]

Introducing Mike

It had been almost five years since Mike had seen his older sister, Miranda. That was shortly after they buried their parents who had been killed in a terrible auto wreck. The tragedy of their deaths had been too painful. Mike had dropped out of college and ran away, into the army. The army made a man of Mike. Now he is 25 years old, 6'3", 235 lbs, with dark hair, dark eyes, and a scruff of a beard. After three years of military service, and two years working for a private overseas security firm, he was heading home. He had accepted the loss of his parents. And he was ready to move on with his life. Mike had military and security training, a bank account full of money, and a desire to build a real life for himself.

And he had a desire to reconnect with the only family he had; his sister Miranda.

Over the years Mike had stayed loosely in touch with Miranda, mostly by email. He felt bad that he ran away and wasn't there for her. But it appeared that she was doing okay, actually very well on her own. And when he told her that he was ready to come home, she insisted that he come stay with her, at least until he found a job and his own place to live.

And that is how he came to be standing outside her door, late on a Friday afternoon. He didn't really know what to expect.

He set down his suitcase, and knocked on her door.

Introducing Miranda

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/600x315/f5/04/c6/f504c6acdad3fb892f7e64767b34eaca.jpg

Miranda was 5'7 roughly 124 lbs with long brown hair and bright eyes and 26 years old. She had been sitting at home going through her emails about a week ago when she got a message from her little brother Mike. They had talked through emails for the past 5 years but hadn't seen each other since he left to join the military. She missed him and was glad he was finally coming back. She had finished school and was now running her own consulting firm out of the office in her condo and when he said that he was coming back She jumped at the chance to kick her deadbeat boyfriend out, dump him and change the locks so she could have someone she actually knew cared about her close to her again. Even if it was just temporary.

Miranda jumped at the sound of the knock on her door that had pulled her from her thoughts and ran to the door. She looked out the viewer and smiled as she opened the door to her brother.

"I hope you aren't selling anything, I'm totally broke"

She laughed softly and threw her arms around Mike, hugging him tightly.

"Hey little brother. Come on in"

She opened the door after letting go of Mike and turned to walk into the living room.

 

[Inspirinious]

"Hey sis. You are really looking great. So grown up. So beautiful." Mike replied as he stood and stared at his sister.

He was also thinking about how sexy she looked. When he left five years ago she was still a young woman just barely out of her teens. Now she looked more mature, her hair and make-up were picture perfect, and her body was fabulous. He knew he shouldn't be thinking of her this way, but he just couldn't help it. She was so gorgeous. He put his suitcase down on the floor and just stood there looking at her.

"I may want more hugs like that from you. Last time a woman hugged me like that was.... Well, I don't remember. I've been off in desolate places for five years and you are truly a vision of loveliness. I'm sorry I'm not looking better myself. It has been a long trip and I really need a shave and shower. I could also use your laundry as most of my clothes are dirty. I think I have one clean t-shirt and some clean shorts to wear after a shower. Otherwise I might have to walk around naked, and I don't think you want your brother walking around this place naked."

He took his gaze off his sister and looked around her condo. It was spacious, well decorated, and had great views out the many windows.

"You must be doing really well to have a place like this." he said as his eyes returned to his sister. "And I bet you have a great boyfriend as well. You appear so successful, so mature, and with your looks surely you have whatever guy you want."

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda sat on the couch looking up at her brother while he looked over the view out from her floor to ceiling windows on the east wall of her condo, yes he was right, she had done rather well for herself all things considered but she had done so much of it all on her own. She understood the way Mike felt due to the death of her parents and a part of her had wanted to do part of what he had and just run away but she couldn't. She had to be the strong one, had to make something of her life in order to be able to take care of herself as well as Mike at least in her eyes, of course looking over at him in this moment she realized how silly that idea was, he could clearly take care of himself.

She grabbed a glass of wine that she had set on the coffee table before answering the door and took a small sip before turning her attention back to him. Her eyes moved over him from toe to head and a smile crossed her lips. She remembered a time when he looked like a scrawny version of their father but that had changed immensely in the time he had been away. In Truth her little brother was no longer little at all, had he not been her brother she would be fawning all over him which was saying something considering she didn't fawn over anyone.

She shook her head as thoughts started to form about how his body would feel against her skin, what his strong shoulders would be like to run her fingers across them. She had to stop and now, she coughed softly and then offered him a bright smile.

"Well Little brother, if you'd like, as a one time favor from our childhood, I will do you laundry while you go shower and shave and then we can order a pizza or something for dinner if you like and catch up some more"

Miranda ran her fingers through her hair as she took another sip of the wine in her glass. She blushed slightly at his words when he mentioned how she looked, She should tell him about her ex boyfriend but then that could wait until he was more relaxed. She stood up and made her way over to his bag picking it up, well attempting to and looked up at him.

"What the heck is in here? Bricks?"

She stood up with a giggle and looked at Mike catching a slight blush on his skin and raising her eyebrow curiously, wondering what was running through his mind.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike watched his sister as her elevator eyes scanned his body from head to toe. He noticed the smile on her lips. It was clearly obvious that she liked how her brother looked, as much as he liked how his sister looked. They both could be models, or actors. He remembered their childhoods together, playing together or acting in skits together for their parents. Now he could envision them acting together again, possibly together as porn actors. 'Where the hell did that thought come from?' he asked himself as he slightly shook his head. But he realized that he was admiring how attractive she looked, and how sexy she looked. Her soft, sultry voice only reinforced his sexual impressions of her.

As they were only a year apart in age, they had been close while growing up. The sudden loss of their parents had shattered their safe world and had split them apart. He was hoping to rebuild a close connection to Miranda. Their initial interactions appeared very positive.

Mike was about to speak when Miranda attempted to lift his bag. He chuckled when she asked "What the heck is in here? Bricks?"

"There is a lot of stuff in there." he responded. "I've learned to pack very efficiently, but it is heavy. I still carry my military combat boots with steel plated soles."

He reached down and easily lifted the heavy bag. "Thanks for the offer to do laundry, but I've become very self sufficient and can do my own laundry. Just point the way to the laundry, and which bath I can use to shower."

He paused a moment and looked at the glass of wine she had. "I could use something to drink, a glass of water, or a cold beer if you have one. And pizza for dinner sounds great. That is another thing I have been without for way too long a time."

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda looked at Mike and gave him a smile when he lifted the bag with ease, she then stuck her tongue out at him and giggled softly " You big show off, I don't mind helping you out with laundry but if you prefer to do it yourself I understand that as well, The washer and dryer are in the back closet between the two bedrooms and the bedroom on the left is yours, it has a private bathroom so you don't have to worry about sharing with me. The condo has 3 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a Den, which I use as my office. There are new sheets and pillow cases on the bed, its a queen size and there are towels in the closet in the bathroom as well. I even put some shampoo and stuff in there and a new toothbrush and toothpaste. I wasn't sure what you had with you."

She blushed slightly as she realized she probably didn't need to get him all of that as he probably had everything he needed. She walked down the hall towards the closet that held the washer and dryer and opened the folding doors then stepped out of the way. She turned to head back to the kitchen where her cell phone was sitting on the counter, she picked it up and then went to the fridge to grab out an ice cold beer for Mike. She took the menu to the pizzeria down the street off the fridge and headed back towards her brother. She stopped in the hallway and leaned against the wall next to his bedroom door

"I hope that Sam Addams is ok, I have a bunch of it and I don't drink beer often. And what kind of pizza do you want so I can get it ordered while you shower?"

 

[Inspirinious]

"Thanks for the beer, Sis" Mike said as he accepted the beer from her. He took a long swig. "Ahh, that tastes great."

Mike looked into his sister's eyes. They were standing close together in the doorway and he was temped to give her another hug. "You are really pampering me. Careful, I may not want to leave anytime soon. And what would your boyfriend say about that?"

He dropped his bag on the floor of the guest room, opened it and began to pull out the clothing he needed to wash. Realizing he hadn't answered her question, he turned back to look at his sister.

"Any type of pizza would be fabulous. The two things I missed most while overseas was pizza and pu...." He stopped suddenly. "Sorry. TMI. I'm sure you don't want to hear about that."

Mike stood upright, pulled off his shirt, and dropped it onto the pile of dirty clothes. Standing before her, he was naked from the waist up, revealing his muscular chest, shoulders, and arms. He didn't think twice about doing this as she had seen him this way countless times before. He gathered up the pile of laundry and stepped towards the door and the washer just beyond.

"Let me start this load of clothes and then take a shower. Please order whatever pizza you want. I'm sure I'll love to eat whatever you have."

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda watched as Mike took the beer from her and took a swig. She smiled at him as he stood before her just looking at her for a minute. She laughed a little when he mentioned not wanting to leave.

"You are welcome to stay as long as you like Little brother, You don't have to worry about a boyfriend saying anything because I don't have one. So no worries there."

She watched as he started going through his bag as she leaned against the door frame and nodded when he spoke again then burst out laughing at the way he stopped his thought "Oh wow little brother, definitely a TMI right there. Good save though, I didn't really need to hear that word cross your lips"

When Mike stood up she straightened herself in the doorway about to walk away when he took his shirt off causing her to bite into her bottom lip and stare a little more at him. He looked damn good, the military had definitely done wonders on his body. She stepped back as he walked towards her and then moved out of his way completely.

As she turned to walk back toward the living room she turned to look back at him just as he spoke again. She smiled and nodded her head about him saying he was gonna shower and to order whatever she wanted. The part of made her mind go in a million directions was the comment about eating whatever she had.

She turned back around and headed to the couch and her wine glass then sat down and placed an order for a large extra cheese and pepperoni pizza and then decided to add an order of garlic knots. Their food would take about 45 minutes since it was a Friday night so she leaned back and sipped her wine, flicking the TV on and going through the channels.

She wasn't really paying attention to the TV anyway, she was thinking more about the fact that she kept wondering what Mike's body would feel like against hers, or having him eat her instead of the pizza. What was wrong with her?

She shouldn't be thinking this stuff about her brother, but she couldn't help him, anyone would admit that he was sexy as hell, great body, amazing personality and smile. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she didn't even realize that she had stopped channel surfing on all static.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike had only been with Miranda for less than an hour and he was already feeling very positive vibs about their relationship. He had been concerned that memories of the tragic deaths of their parents would overshadow their reunion, but it hadn't. In fact, he felt that they had returned to their close interactions just as they had behaved earlier in their lives. Of course back then, when they were younger, there was no hint of sexual overtones which were obvious now. Were they just flirting playfully with each other? Or was there something more at play? Incest is such a taboo subject.

Mike loaded the washing machine and started it. Then he returned to the guest bedroom, stripped off the rest of his clothes , entered the adjoining bathroom and stepped into the shower. As had been his practice in the military and in private security, he never bothered to close a door. Mike was very proud of his body, the muscle tone, and his strength. While overseas he seldom had the opportunity to be admired by a female, especially a beautiful sexy woman. He noticed how his sister looked at him, how she bit her lower lip, and spoke in a soft gentle voice. She was his sister, but she was also a sexy woman and he appreciated the looks she gave him.

Once the water was hot, he washed his hair and then lathered his body with lots of soap to clean his skin and pores. He really wanted to look and smell nice for Miranda. As he ran his hand over the muscles of his arms, legs, and body, he knew he needed to hit the gym soon. He needed to ask Miranda if her condo had an exercise room. If not, he would need to find a fitness center.

When his shower was finished, he stepped out and dried himself with the large fluffy bath towel. Yet again something he hadn't had in several years. Even if she didn't realize it, Miranda was spoiling him. He brushed back his hair, allowing it to finish drying naturally. There were few clean clothes in his bag, but he did find a clean t-shirt and some gym shorts. He figured these would be acceptable as they were eating dinner in tonight.

Barefoot, he walked back towards the living area with an empty beer bottle in hand. He could see his sister sitting on the couch facing the TV which only had static. 'Strange' he thought. 'She must really be tired, or lost in thoughts. Wonder which it is.'

He walked over into the kitchen and placed the empty bottle on the counter, not knowing if she recycled or even where her trash was kept. Digging into the refrigerator, he helped himself to another beer. As he pulled the beer out, the door slipped out of his had and shut with more noise than he intended, stirring his sister.

"Just taking another beer. I assume that is OK." he called out to her. "What are you watching, Sis?"

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda jumped out of thought when she heard the bottles in the fridge jingle from the door closing, she turned her head to the sound of Mike's voice. "Yeah of course you can have another one, would you mind bringing me one too?"


She put her empty wine glass on the coffee table and looked at the TV then started to laugh. "Apparently I decided to watch static, I was flipping through thinking about work. What would you like to watch Mike?"

She sat back against the couch and leaned her head back over it looking at him upside down like she used to when they were younger.

 

[Inspirinious]

The moment he heard his sister ask for a beer, he pulled the refrigerator door open and pulled out another beer. After he closed the door, this time more gently, he popped the tops on both bottles and turned back towards Miranda.

What he saw stopped him dead in his tracks. She had her head back over the couch, looking at him upside down. But what caught his attention was how this gave him a great view of her ample breasts. He didn't know if that was her intent or not.

"Sis, we have to talk." Mike said as he walked over to the couch and handed her a beer. He sat down next to her, but not close enough to be touching. He was mindful to keep an appropriate distance.

"I'll start by first asking: When do you grow such gorgeous tits?" He took a big swig of his own beer and laughed.

"Sorry, you caught me by surprise and I just had to ask. But honestly I not interested in TV right now. I'd like to talk, catch up of what we both have been doing these past few years, and discuss our living arrangements here, things like how long will you let me stay?"

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda looked at Mike with a stunned expression and when he started to laugh she did too. Shaking her head at him she took a drink of her beer and then raised and eyebrow at him.

"You, my darling baby brother are RUDE, I'll have you know my breasts have been this size since before you left...it's not my fault that you never noticed before."

She laughed again and then grabbed the remote and turned the TV off after turning it to a news channel so she wouldn't have to see the static when she turned it on again later. She then turned her body slightly towards Mike, laid her arm along the back of the couch and leaned her head against it.

"You're right, we should talk. As far as I am concerned you can stay as long as you like, I'm in no rush to get rid of you after just getting you back in my life. I've missed you Mike, more then you know and to be honest, I'm not going to be thinking about having anyone but you living here. I've just gotten out of a relationship that was really not that great and I don't wanna think about being in another one anytime soon"

She took another sip of her beer as she looked at him again, her thoughts on the fact that the only part of relationships she was going to miss was the sex. Her thoughts were once again interrupted by a knock on the door. She jumped up from the couch and ran to the door, pulling out the money for the delivery guy, shutting the door and moving back to the couch. She put the food down on the coffee table and then sat back down looking at her brother once more.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike watched closely as his sister jumped up and ran to the door to fetch the pizza. The way she moved, the way her hips moved, caused a stirring in his groin. 'Damn. I shouldn't be looking at her this way.' he thought as he re-positioned his shorts so as to hide his swelling cock. He wished he had something more substantial to wear than just the lightweight gym shorts. Mike was very well endowed and a full on boner would be impossible to hide. He needed to exert some self control and keep his dick hidden in his shorts.

After Miranda placed the pizza on the table and sat down, the siblings again were looking at each other. Mike was glad that she kept her eyes on his eyes, and wasn't looking down at his shorts. He also noticed how beautiful her eyes, face and hair were, some other things in addition to her chest that he hadn't remembered about her. But then again, when they were younger, he didn't look at her the way he was today.

"Sorry Sis about being rude. I just haven't been with a beautiful lady in several years. And being with you, seeing you. . . ." He paused to think about what he was going to say. "It's like I have had my eyes opened and now I see how beautiful and sexy you are. I may be rude, but just saying the truth as I see it. I just cannot understand why you don't have a wonderful boyfriend, but I should be glad that you are willing to allow me to stay with you."

Mike picked up a slice of pizza and took a bite, followed by more beer. Then he continued as he kept his eyes locked upon her.

"Coming home is a big change in my life in many ways. I have a four-part plan to take my life in a new direction. First I wanted to rebuild our relationship. Family is important, and you are my family. Second I must find a new job, for obvious reasons. Third, once I have a job, I must find my own place to live. I can't stay here forever. I'll probably eat you out of house and home. I do eat a lot. And fourth I really need a girlfriend, uh, er, for obvious reasons." Again he paused and watched Miranda for her reactions.

"You allowing me to stay here is a huge help. I get to reconnect with you as well as have a place to stay while I look for a job. I cannot thank you enough."

He wanted to give her a kiss, on the cheek, or give her another hug. He settled on placing his hand over her hand and giving a gentle squeeze.

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda wasted no time reaching in and grabbing a garlic knot, she took a bite and purred with delight, Garlic knots were her favorite especially from the place down the street. She listened to Mike talk about his plan and couldn't help it but give a pouty look when he mentioned finding a place of his own. The sad truth was, she really did want him to stay as long as he could deal with her. She put down the half of her food that she hadn't eaten yet, grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth off before taking a sip of her beer and looking into Mike's eyes again.

"Don't thank me, its my pleasure to have you here little brother. So, on to your plan, First, I'd like for us to be close again, I miss it. Second, what kind of work are you looking for exactly, I have a few contacts that I know are hiring or if you don't mind working with me, I could use some help myself. Third, " and with this she let the little pout return to her lips "I have more then enough room for you to stay, I would love to have a roommate that I can trust, and Fourth, well, girlfriends are trouble, find a fuck buddy."

She gave him a quick smile and took a sip of her beer then picked up her food all the while trying not to giggle at the look of shock on Mike's face at the last thing she said.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike was indeed shocked by Miranda's suggestion that he find a fuck buddy. He nearly choked on his pizza. So he took a long drink from his beer, all the while aware that she was staring at him, obviously waiting for his response.

He remembered their days together growing up when they used to tease each other, and when they played the "Dare You" game, trying to gain the upper advantage by having the other back down from a dare. Their dares had been, for the most part, harmless things and seldom of a sexual nature. Once as teens, on an exchange of dares, they did flash their underwear at each other. He would always remember how she flashed her sexy pink panties at him. It was the first time he saw a girl in panties, which unexpectedly gave him a boner. And then she dared him to flash his underwear which exposed his arousal. He always suspected that she scripted that exchange that way.

And now she had issued a thinly veiled 'Dare you'. The tone of her voice, and the look in her eyes said all he needed to know about the challenge.

'Yes, we can play this game.' he thought. He put down his beer and shifted towards her, a move that made the bulge in his shorts more obvious. He then wondered if she still wore pink panties, or maybe a thin, lacy thong. The thought had the intended affect of making his cock visibly twitch in his shorts. He caught the quick glance down of her eyes.

"So you think I should find a fuck buddy. Are you volunteering?"

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda licked over her lips as she glanced down at the front of Mikes shorts just in time to see the twitch. She was pretty sure he noticed the way her eyes traveled when she looked back at him and saw the little smirk he had on his face. Taking his Dare she moved forward just a little bit and placed her hand on his thigh, trailing the tips of her fingers along the fabric of his shorts.

"Well, that might just depend on whether or not you decide to stay with me"

She leaned in closer and placed a soft kiss right next to the corner of his mouth before backing up and taking another swig of her beer, this time finishing it. She stood up and walked into the kitchen calling out to him as she opened the fridge " Do you want another one or would you like something else?"

She was well aware that her voice had sounded very much like a purring seduction as she spoke and she wondered if he would take it that way or laugh it off as her being a brat to him.

 

[Inspirinious]

Her reply, that it depended upon whether on not he decided to stay with her, shocked him even more. Clearly their game of "Dare you" had been taken to new extremes that he never would have imagined the last time they played this game. Was she really offering to have sex with him? Did she really want him to stay much longer than he originally thought?

Then as she stood by the refrigerator she asked ".... or would you like something else?" His cock jumped in his shorts. But he no longer was trying to hide it as it was now part of the game. She was not so subtly pressing the attack. Did she really want to have sex? Or was this just an attempt to beat her 'little brother' by making him be the first to back down?

The Army had made him physically and mentally strong. No longer did he back down from a challenge. But he also learned to carefully judge his opponent, even if it was his sister in this game. The stakes were not life or death, but they were much higher that ever before in their contests.

"What else might you be offering?" he asked as he stood to face her, a large bulge very obvious in his shorts.

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda turned to look at him, a beer in each hand as she shut the door to the fridge with her hip. She looked over him and raised her eyebrow when she noticed the bulge in his pants. She placed the beers on the counter beside her and then took a step towards him, smiling as she moved, her hips giving a gentle sway with each step closer to him.

Her tongue flicked out between her lips slowly running along them to moisten them before she placed her hand on her hip and stood before him, her other hand moved towards the top of her shirt and undid one of the buttons. She knew this game could go on for a while and even though she was tempted to see just how far he would be willing to go before backing down, she had a sneaking suspicion that he wasn't quite as easy to get to as he used to be.

" I could be offering quite a number of different things little brother, but then they could all be determined on your responses." She took another step forward and undid another button then trailed her fingertip down between her breasts.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike wasn't sure where this game was heading, and he wasn't sure that Miranda knew either. He considered the options, the risks, and the rewards. Rebuilding his relationship with his sister was most important. He didn't want to risk that, and hopefully neither did Miranda. So he decided to play it straight with her.

But first he wanted to play along a little more. After she undid the second button on her blouse, she looked up at him.

"You are so beautiful." he said and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. He leaned back to watch what she did next. Miranda brought her fingers up to the next button, and stopped, looking into his eyes for his direction. He smiled at her and nodded approval that she continue. And she did, as she gracefully undid another button. As her blouse spread open, Mike could now see her bra and the lovely curvature of her breast. His smile grew wider.

"Miranda, you have always won our 'Dare You' games, either because you were my sister, or because you outsmarted me, like the time you flashed your pink panties at me so that you could see my hard cock in my underwear when you dared me back. Yeah. I've known all along how you won that day."

"But you need to know that this is a different game. We are different people. The Army taught me to be strong and never back away from a challenge. And you should know that I haven't had sex with a woman in years. I'm getting damn tired of jacking myself off every night. Even though you are my sister, I could easily be tempted to sweep you up into my arms, carry you into a bedroom, and thoroughly ravage your sexy body."

"I came back home because it is important to me to rekindle our relationship. And I don't want to jeopardize that the first day back. I don't know if you want to fuck me, or you are just fucking with me. Just be aware that I love you, and I will always love you, regardless of what we do today."

"You decide what you want us to do. If that means you have won again, then so be it. But I will always know that I too have won today."

He continued to stare into her eyes, and waited for her next move.

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda stopped and looked at him, listening to every word he said and it hit her that this silly little game of theirs could really ruin things that she didn't want to ruin. She walked forward and placed her hand on the side of his face, looking up into his eyes for a minute.

" Mike, I Love you too, I don't want to jeopardize anything between us either and I'm sorry."

She looked down at the floor and then moved away from him going back to the counter to grab their beers and then handing him one as she walked past him to sit on the couch again. She took a sip from her bottle and then turned to face him when he sat down. She knew what she wanted to say to him, but the truth was that she didn't want to make herself look stupid.

She knew that her brother was sexy as hell and maybe that was why she was acting the way she was. She missed being close to someone, in every possible way and she really didn't want to admit to him that she had thought about him when they were younger too. That was crossing a line that she wasn't sure they should cross. Yes they were attracted to each other but what would happen if things went wrong?

She dropped her head down and looked at her hands before speaking to her brother again "Mike, is being with me something you actually want? Or is it just because you haven't been with anyone in a while? Don't feel like you need to answer that, if you want to we can forget all about all of this, sit back and eat the rest of the pizza and then watch a movie or something"

She looked back at him, biting her bottom lip and then taking a long swing of her beer.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike wasn't sure if he was happy or sad that she stopped. But he thought it probably best that they didn't misfire on a silly game and mess up their relationship.

"Don't feel sorry, Sis. We've played and teased each other for years this way. Now it has gotten serious and the stakes are much higher." He took a long swig of his beer. He tried to lighten the situation.

"Maybe we should play a version of 'Truth or Dare'. I'll go first, and answer your Truth question."

"I have always loved you, though I wouldn't admit it to myself. I replaced 'I love you' with 'I admire you' to keep my feelings in a proper place. And I stayed away for several years. Eventually I decided that I had to return home and reconnect with you. I need you in my life."

"Our game was a lot of fun, but I feel we are playing with fire. I really did want to scoop you up in my arms, carry you to bed and we would have a long night full of incredible sexual bliss. But I'm scared of where we would be tomorrow. Would our night of pleasure destroy us for the rest of our lives?"

"I'm scared, and I think you are scared also. I don't what to fuck this up."

 

[MidnightBliss]

Miranda looked at her brother, biting her lip again ( a nervous habit she had picked up when she was younger) and wondered if he was right. Would one night between them destroy their relationship? He was right about one thing though, she was scared, she didn't want to screw things up between them but she often wondered what it would be like for them to be together. She did love Mike, more then just her little brother and had since they were in their teens.

Of course, that wasn't something she had ever admitted to. She took another swig of her beer and then leaned back against the couch still looking at him before she spoke up quietly "Truth or Dare it is then. Since you started I believe its my turn, I will take Truth as well, ask away little Brother"

She leaned forward, grabbed a piece of pizza and took a bite and waited quietly while he appeared to think about what exactly he would ask her about.

 

[Inspirinious]

Mike watched his sister closely as she sat there and bit her lower lip. He felt certain that indicated that she was scared or uncertain. He was concerned that he caused this, and maybe he was causing her some pain or discomfort. Even before he had knocked on her door earlier in the day, he knew they needed to have a serious conversation. But this had gotten real serious, rather quickly.

"Miranda, I think we both want the same thing, a strong, close relationship. We are just trying to figure out what that relationship looks like. And we are both a bit scared. I think that is a good thing."

"It appears we both have been holding back our feelings, and that may have caused some missteps. I believe that if we are both honest with each other, and we are both open to the other's honesty, that is the best course of action."

"You have offered to take a Truth question. You may not want to give me the answer, but I hope you will think about this and at least answer it to yourself."

"How far were you willing to take our game today?"

"To put it another way, were you just playing to win, assuming I would quit at some point? Or did you want to go all the way with me?"

Miranda took another sip of her beer while she contemplated her response to her brother. She knew the feelings she had were wrong according to society but the fact remained, wrong or not she still had them. She wondered about telling him how every relationship she ever had seemed to be doomed because the truth was, no one compared to Mike.

She had spent all of her adult life so far looking for someone that had his kindness and cared the way he did for her when they were younger. She leaned back against the couch, forgetting that her shirt was still open, and ran her fingers through her hair once more before looking away from him to answer his question.

"It started out as our normal game but to be completely honest, I would not have stopped it from going further. I would have gone all the way with you and then most likely have wanted more."

She felt the heat from her blushing cover her face and neck and out of fear she looked down so Mike wouldn't see how vulnerable she was at this moment.

Mike could feel her love, and he sensed some fear in his sister's voice and in her body language. His sister had always been the strong one, and now she looked so vulnerable. His heart ached for her and their predicament.

With one hand he gently cupped her chin and lifted her face so they again were looking into each other's eyes. His other hand slowly wrapped around her body and he pulled her into a tight embrace. Mike buried his face into her hair. She smelled so wonderful. He felt his skin tingle, as if there was an electrical current passing between them. It felt so special. It felt so right.

"It is safe for us to do this, isn't it?" he whispered in her ear.

"Who is to judge if what we do is right or wrong, except you and me?" he added, wondering how she would react.
