"Hon, your father and I are leaving now. We left some money on the counter
if you girls want to order a pizza or something later. Your sister and
Jamie are in her room studying. Be good."

"Okay mom."

"I love you."

"Love you too mom, have fun."

"Don't stay up too late, well be back tomorrow afternoon."

After my parents left, I went upstairs to my room. On the way, I could hear
my sister and her friend Jamie giggling in her room. Sometime later, I
heard the front door open, and I knew that Jamie had left.

"Whatcha watchin'?" My sister asked as she burst through my door.

"Nothing really, did you guys get any studying done in there?"

"Not really. Jamie was on about her new boyfriend."

I didn't say anything and just stared at the television.

"You hungry?"

"Not really."

"Me either." She flopped down next to me on my bed.

"I'm bored."

Again, I ignored her.

"Are you a virgin?"

"What?"

"Have you ever had sex before?"

"I know what a virgin is. Why are you asking me that?"

"Well Jamie was telling me that she had sex with her boyfriend, and I
didn't want to seem as if I didn't know what she was talking about"

"So you told her you're not a virgin."

"Well not exactly, but I didn't tell her I was either. I mean, I'm almost
19, and I didn't want to seem lame or something."

"There's nothing wrong with being a virgin."

"So you're still a virgin too."

"I didn't say that."

"So you're not?"

"I didn't say that either."

"YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST FORGET IT! I'M SORRY I EVEN TRIED TO TALK TO YOU!
NEVERMIND!"

She got up and stormed out of my room. I heard her slam the door to her
bedroom, and turn the radio on loudly. I felt bad for dismissing her the
way I had. I guess I just wasn't used to talking to my sister about
anything serious. I figured I should go and make things better.

I walked into her room and turned off the radio. She was lying on her bed,
staring at the ceiling, and hugging her pillow.

"What do you want?"

"Look I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a bitch."

"Well you succeeded."

"I know. Listen, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin. You shouldn't
feel bad about it."

"I don't. Well at least I didn't until Jamie told me about her boyfriend,
and I just wonder, I mean I want to know what it feels like."

I sat next to her on the bed, and she continued.

"I'm probably the only eighteen year old virgin on the planet."

"I'm sure you're not."

I paused for a second, contemplating what I should say.

"It hurts like hell." Her eyes widened, and her mouth fell open.

"You've done it before?"

"Just once. And it hurt real bad. It wasn't anything like I expected."

"Who was it with?"

"Do you remember that guy John I went out with in high school?"

"The guy with the long hair that you met at Ashley's party?"

"Yea."

"Him?"

I nodded.

"Oh my god! He was foul! I can't even believe that you even went out with
that loser."

"Yea well, what can I say? He was just different I guess. Besides he was
kind of cute."

"Well if you say so."

"Alright, maybe not" We both laughed.

"I can't believe that you did it with him."

"Believe me, I'd much rather have forgotten all about it. I wish it never
even happened."

"So what did it feel like?"

"I told you it hurt."

"That's it? It hurt? Jamie said it's like the best feeling in the world."

"Well I mean some of it was nice, but mostly it was just, I don't know, but
it definitely wasn't what I expected."

"What did you like about it?"

"Well...I can't believe we are talking about this. I don't know. I liked
when he kissed me. He kissed my breasts and..." "And what?"

"Well he...you know..."

"He went down on you?"

"Yea."

"What did it feel like?"

"It felt good I guess."

"Did you have an orgasm?"

"No. He wasn't really...I don't know, it was kind of fast. and not really
doing it right I guess. Then he just wanted to stick it in me, and it just
hurt from there on out."

"So you've never had an orgasm?"

"Of course I have, just not from him."

"So with who?"

"With...well...no one...you know."

"No. how?"

"Wait a minute. Are you telling me you've never...had an orgasm?"

She didn't say anything.

"Haven't you ever, you know, played with yourself?"

"Oh my god, you do that?"

"Oh my god you don't?"

"No. I mean I...Once It felt...well I felt...I don't know, and I touched it,
but, I don't know, I just felt stupid."

"Oh sweetie. My god, you must be going crazy. There's nothing to feel
stupid about. Everybody does it."

"Really?"

"Really. I can't believe you've never done it. Don't you ever think about
sex?"

"Yes all the time."

"And doesn't it get you horny?"

"I guess so. I mean, yea."

"Let me show you something."

I walked over to her computer and turned it on. I got on line and punched
up a web site all about female masturbation. We scrolled through all the
different sections. We got to a part of the site where different people
would write in and describe their favorite methods. As we read through, I
would comment on each one, telling her which ones I liked, and which ones
to try. After a while, I started to feel really comfortable with her. I
know it sounds strange, her being my sister and all, but we never talked
about this stuff before, obviously. I also noticed that the topic of
conversation, and the stories of all these different women pleasuring
themselves was getting me in the mood for a little "self love" of my own.

"I can't believe you've done all these things!" She must have said that
like 10 times!

"How about this one?"

"Yea. I told you, I've read this before, and tried most of these things."

She just laughed, and continued to scroll through the stories. I could tell
she was intrigued by what she was reading, and judging by the way she was
fidgeting in her seat, I think she was getting a little horny as well.

"Well I think my work here is done." I stood up to leave.

"Have fun. Let me know if you get hungry, mom left money for pizza."

"Where are you going?"

"Well I thought I would go back to my room, so you could do your homework!"

I laughed.

"Oh my god! I'm not gonna do this!"

"Why not? I think you probably should. You've got a lot of catching up to
do. You'd better get to it or you might explode soon."

"Very funny. I'm not doing this while you're here."

"Well that's why I'm leaving..."

"No I mean...It'll be weird. I mean you'll be in the next room, and you
would know what I was doing, and I... that would be weird."

"Would you rather I go downstairs then?"

"NO! It won't make a difference if you walk to Alaska, you'd still know
what I was doing."

"Okay, well suit yourself. I'll be in my room, playing with myself!"

"SHUT UP! No you're not!"

"Why not? this whole conversation put me in the mood. And besides, I've
just told you everything I do. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed
of anymore."

"So you're just gonna go in your room and masturbate knowing I'm right
here?"

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. See, now you won't know for sure, so there's
nothing to be ashamed of!"

I laughed again and turned to walk out the door.

"Wait!"

My sister got up, ran towards me and hugged me.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Let me know how it goes."

She laughed and kissed me on the cheek. Just as I was about to walk out the
door she stopped me again.

"Anne?" I turned to face her.

"What do you think about when you do it?"

"I don't know. Sex stuff I guess."

"Do you ever think about girls?"

"Sometimes, I guess. Why?"

"You do? Are you...?"

"No! I like guys! But I think about women sometimes too."

"Really?"

"Yea, why not? Sometimes I'm a little curious to know what it would be like
I guess."

She didn't say anything, and I could tell she was thinking real hard about
something.

"Whatever you think about when you do it is okay. It doesn't make you weird
or anything, and the best part is that it's just for you to know. That's
why it's a fantasy."

"What about me?"

"What do you mean? What about you?"

"I mean...never mind. Forget it."

"What? Tell me. What about you?"

"Do you ever think about...me?"

I didn't know what to say. I surely didn't see that one coming! And the
truth was that I actually had thought about her before. It was the first
time I think I ever really admitted it to myself. Ever since last year, we
were swimming together at some friends of our parents' house. She looked
pretty sexy in her bathing suit, and I even caught a few glimpses of her
tits when her suit slipped down after diving in the pool. Ever since then,
images of my sister would sneak their way into my thoughts when I was
masturbating, and usually brought me over the edge, harder than ever. I
just thought maybe it turned me on because it was something so wrong, and...
I don't know, "taboo." I hated the fact that I actually had to face the
fact that I did indeed think of her that way sometimes, and I hated myself
for it. And to make matters worse, I realized that it was probably not just
the topic of conversation that had me turned on so much that afternoon, but
the fact that it was my sister w ho added to my sexual excitement.

I was lost in my thoughts.

"Never mind. That was a stupid question."

"Not really" I thought to myself. "If she only knew!" There was no way I
could tell her. She'd probably think I was a freak...But... then why did she
ask?

"Why?...I mean why did you ask me that?"

"I don't know. I'm sorry. It was stupid?"

"It's not stupid. I just didn't expect it that's all. Why would you think
that?"

"I don't! It's just that...well, when you said you were gonna go do it, I
thought about you...I mean I thought about you doing it... and... it...well it
kind of...I don't know...I'm sorry. Please don't think I'm weird, I couldn't
help it."

"I don't think it's weird at all. I guess it's pretty normal. I mean, we
just spent like two hours talking about stuff with each other, I'm sure the
idea of it turned you on a little bit. It's okay, you're not weird."

"So thinking about my own sister while I play with myself wouldn't be
weird?"

"Okay maybe it is, but then I guess we are both freaks."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that you wouldn't be alone in having those thoughts."

No sooner had the words left my mouth that I felt my stomach jump. I
thought my knees would give out and tumble me to the floor. I grabbed on to
the door frame for support, and we both stood in silence for a good minute.

"Well I guess I'll be in my room if you want me."

We both laughed out loud, and eased the tension greatly.

"Well you know what I mean"

I turned to leave, but then stopped.

"Unless..."

I turned around to face my sister who was now sitting on the bed.

"What?"

I walked toward my sister and sat next to her on the bed. I slowly reached
my hands up to my breasts, and started to pinch and squeeze my already
stiff nipples through my T-shirt. I stared directly at her and watched as
her eyes darted hurriedly across my chest. I quickly slid my shirt over my
head, and unclasped my bra, letting my breasts bounce freely in front of
her. After throwing the clothes on the floor, I resumed teasing my bare
breasts. Her mouth hung slightly open, her eyes finally settled on
mine. She followed my lead, and her hands began clumsily stroking her
breasts through her shirt. I slid one hand down and began rubbing myself
between my legs through my jeans. I was pressing hard through the thick
denim, but was not getting the full effect. I stood up and quickly slid my
jeans to the floor. I got back on the bed and kneeled just a foot from my
sister in just my panties. I thrust my hips forward, arched my back
slightly, and let my hands resume their previous p ositions on my body. I
gasped slightly when my hand met my cotton-covered pussy.

My sisters eyes were still rushing over my body, trying to see everything
at once, as her hands, now more rapidly, fondled her breasts almost as if
on their own. I could see a small dark spot growing on the cotton shorts
between her legs.

I slowly brought my other hand down from my breasts, and rolled my panties
down, exposing the bare skin just above my pussy. I slid both hands down
the front of my underwear, and moaned at the familiar feeling of my own
touch. I gently stroked my throbbing clit with one hand, as the other
sought out my opening and gently slipped a finger inside me. My hips began
to move back and forth in rhythm, my eyes never leaving my sister's.

My mind was spinning with lust as I masturbated for my little sister, who
was frozen in her place in front of me. She was obviously enjoying the
show. My breasts pressed together between my arms, as my hands busily
worked on my aching pussy.

"Take your clothes off, and join me. I'll show you what to do."

She jumped when I spoke, and her stare moved away from me as if she was
caught looking at something she shouldn't have been.

"It's okay, hurry."

She moved slowly as if she were in a trance, and removed her shirt and
bra. Her tits were magnificent. Soft and firm, with beautiful light pink
nipples pointing straight out. They were at least a full c-cup, and shaped
perfectly. She stretched her legs out in front of her, and slid off her
shorts. Her feet briefly touched my legs, and we both jumped as if we had
crossed over to something we shouldn't have. She pulled her legs back
quickly, and tucked her knees tightly into her chest.

"It's okay, let me see."

She slowly slid her legs back out, and let one clumsily slip off the
bed. My heart raced as my eyes fell on her neatly shaved pussy. I almost
came right there. I quickly pulled my hands out from between my legs and
leaned towards her. I pulled her foot underneath me and rested my pussy
against her toes. She tried to pull her foot away again, but I held it
there until she gave in.

I grabbed her hand and put it over her pussy, and guiding it with my own, I
began to slowly move it up and down. She gasped and twitched as her own
fingers touched her clit for the first time. Her hand began to move on it's
own, and I let go.

In an almost curious manner, her other hand grabbed for my breast, and she
began to squeeze lightly, and her touch sent shocks through my body. I
flinched slightly, and she quickly pulled her hand away.

"It's okay. You can touch me if you want."

I grabbed her hand and placed in back on my tit, and her hand began to
lovingly caress my nipple. The sensation was indescribable, and I
immediately threw my hand back down my panties and started to rub my clit
as fast as I could.

The room was filled with the sounds of heavy breathing, and the wet
crackling of our fingers rushing over our pussies.

I was nearing my orgasm when I had noticed my both my sister's hands
grabbing at my tits. Without thinking, I pulled her head towards me,
guiding my tit into her mouth. Her lips clasped around my nipple, and
sucked like a starving baby looking for milk. My other hand instinctively
made its way between her legs, and sought out her clit. She screamed
through a mouthful of my breasts when my fingers glided across her clit. It
felt wonderful to touch another pussy.

She threw her arms around me and bucked her hips uncontrollably as I
fingered us both to orgasm. I came first, and almost fell right on top of
my sister, as my whole body felt like it would collapse from the most
intense orgasm I'd ever experienced. My sister came moments later. I held
her close to me as her body shook and bucked under my touch. I whispered
words of encouragement to her as she came, all the while never releasing my
tit from her eager mouth. She finally collapsed in my arms and fell
backwards, pulling me on top of her.

My natural instinct kicked in, and I put my lips to hers. She met me with
no resistance, and soon our tongues were swirling around one another's in a
frenzy of lust.

Our kissing became more comfortable, and more passionate. We began to lick
and bite one another's neck and ears, as if this were the most natural
thing in the world. We were both obviously so caught up in the passion of
the moment, that we never even had time to think that what we were doing
was wrong in any way. We didn't contemplate our actions, or the
repercussions that we would most likely be faced with afterwards. We just
let ourselves become consumed with the intense passion and lust filling us,
and it was beautiful.

As our kissing grew more intense, we let our hands wander, and explored
each other's bodies. My hips were soon grinding against my sister's, her
hands pushing and pulling me across her bare pussy. She pulled and my
panties, indicating to me to remove them. I lifted my ass in the air, and
we both slid them down my legs and off. I slowly lowered myself back on top
of her, and shivered as my bare pussy pressed down on her neatly trimmed
mound. Our breasts mashed together as we both began grinding our hips into
one another. Her hands grabbed firmly around my ass, pulling me into her,
as she thrust her hips to meet mine.

We fucked hard for several minutes, but we both needed more. I worked my
way down my sister's body, until my lips were inches away from her swollen
pussy. I could feel her shaking with anticipation as I teased her waiting
pussy, gently running my tongue over her lips.

Momentarily unsure of myself, I gently explored every inch of her pussy
with my fingers and tongue. I gently slid my finger inside her, as my
tongue focused on her swollen clit. I tried to concentrate on how It would
feel of she was doing the same thing to me. As she began to react, I knew I
was doing something right, and I grew more confident and aggressive. The
taste of her pussy was intoxicating. I can remember thinking that I never
knew how guys could ever do this to a girl, and how gross it must be, but
now I understand. I couldn't get enough her. I removed my finger from
inside her, and fucked her with my tongue, straining to get as deep as I
could. The more I tasted, the more I wanted. I let my fingers slide across
her clit, and she was soon bucking her hips and moaning loudly. I could
feel her tighten around my mouth, and my tongue was soon bathing in a flood
of her juice. I struggled to get every last drop, but her legs were soon
clasping around my head, and she was
 pulling me away from her.

"Stop! I can't take anymore!"

I knew she had become sensitive, and moved away from her begrudgingly.

She struggled to speak between gasps of air. Her chest was pounding into
the air, and her head was rolling back and forth. She quickly placed her
hand over her pussy as soon as I moved my head away.

"Oh my god that was fucking awesome."

Her body tensed up, as her legs stretched out in front of her.

"It still feels like you're there."

She squealed as her body shook and she gasped for air.

I knelt beside her, stroking her arm in comfort, as she slowly began to
settle down. I couldn't help but feel proud of a job well done.

"That was amazing. I didn't know anything could feel that good."

She spoke softly, and her voice was cracking.

"Me either." I said smiling.

"Not bad for my first time I guess."

She tried to sit up, but I put my hand on her chest and held her down. She
didn't resist.

"Let me do you."

"They'll be plenty of time later. Just relax."

I laid beside her and pulled her close to me. She rolled into me, rested
her head on my chest, and began to drift off to sleep. I gently stroked my
clit until I came again, trying hard not to make a sound, and soon fell
asleep myself.

I woke up a few hours later. The room was dark and I was alone. It took a
few seconds for me to remember why I was there and what had happened
earlier. As I thought about it, my stomach jumped, and I couldn't help but
smile. I picked my head up to see where my sister could have gone. I pulled
myself out of the bed. My muscles ached. I didn't bother to dress, as I
headed out of the room looking to see where my sister could be.

The house was dark and quiet. I realized I was starving, and went to the
kitchen to order a pizza. When I got there, I noticed that the money mom
left was missing. I really wanted to be mad at my sister, but for some
reason, I couldn't bring myself to be upset, so I just shrugged it off, and
decided to take a shower.

I had just got under the hot water when I heard the front door slam shut. A
few minutes later, my sister walked into the bathroom.

"I got dinner. Hurry down before it gets cold."

She shut the door before I could answer. I was a little put off by her
abruptness, and wondered if she was regretting what had happened. As I
washed up, I also wondered why I wasn't. I thought that it was probably to
be expected that we would feel ashamed about the things that happened, but
I didn't. On the contrary, I felt amazing, almost invigorated, and I
started to feel that maybe she didn't feel the same way. I hurried out of
the shower, to find out.

As I opened the bathroom door, I heard my sister's voice as if she was
speaking to someone, and familiar giggles coming from the kitchen. I
instantly felt a wave of relief wash over me as I recognized that she was
with Jamie. Most likely, it was the reason for her abruptness. I quickly
threw on some shorts and a shirt and headed downstairs.

"Hey Anne. I went to get us some pizza, but Jamie talked me into Chinese."

She gave me a little smile, assuring me that everything was okay.

"Sounds good to me."

"I hope you don't mind that I invited myself along." Jamie said.

"The more the merrier." I said.

My sister quickly rolled her eyes in my direction to indicate that she had
no choice in the matter. I had already figured that out for myself.

Jamie has been friends with my sister ever since they were young. She's a
nice girl, but she's always been a little, pushy, shall we say? She's the
kind of girl who has always "been there and done that", and knows
everything about everything. Other than that though, she's okay.

I sat myself down and dug into a box of lo-mein, as we listened to Jamie go
on, seemingly without breathing, about how her boyfriend stood her up that
evening to go hang out with his friends. My sister and I pretended to be
listening, as we exchanged smiles across the table. Jamie continued, not
missing a detail, as I buried my foot in my sister's crotch under the
table, delighting in her obvious lack of comfort. She glared at me across
the table, telling me with her eyes to cut it out, and I just smiled back
at her with a mouth full of noodles.

"...And I would probably just forget about him, but he's really good in
bed. He's got the biggest cock I've ever seen!"

This seemed to catch our attention.

"Yea? He's that good?" I asked.

"Oh my god, he's amazing!"

"Does he make you cum every time?"

"ANNE!"

"What? She said he was amazing. I just wanted to know!"

"The other night I came like four times in a row!"

"Four times! Wow, that's pretty good! How big is he?"

She gestured with her hands to indicate he was about six or seven inches
long.

"Not bad." I said.

"Why don't you loan him to my sister, she could use a good man to fuck
her. She's still a virgin."

"ANNE!"

"What?"

"Jamie was silent for the first time since I've known her."

"I can't believe you!"

I could tell she was mad, but not really. I think she also found it tough
to get mad at me the way she used to.

"What? It's no big deal!"

She didn't say anything, and Jamie took it as an opportunity to jump in.

"You can fuck him if you want. I know he wouldn't mind. He's always asking
me if you would be into having a threesome."

"See there you go."

"Eeeew... are you serious? He wants to us to have a threesome?"

"Well of course! He's a guy! Every guy's fantasy is to have two chicks at
once."

"She's right about that sis!"

"Well I'm flattered, but I think I'll pass. That would just be too weird."

I laughed so hard, I almost shot noodles out my nose. They both just stared
at me.

"Besides, I get all the sex I need."

"I thought you were a virgin?" Jamie asked.

"Well technically I guess, but I'm satisfied."

"Playing with yourself in the bathroom doesn't count you know. Although it
is fun!"

"I'm not talking about that. In fact I don't do that either."

"So then how are you satisfied? What are you gonna tell me you're a lesbo?"

Jamie laughed to herself. My sister raised her eyebrows and shoveled some
food into her mouth.

"Oh please! You are so full of shit! I've known you forever! I think I'd
know if you were a lesbo! Who could you possibly be fucking that I wouldn't
know about? There's no one we even know who would be into anything like
that..."

"Well if you must know, I fucked Anne just this afternoon, and it was
awesome. My sister ate my pussy so good I almost passed out! As a matter of
fact, I was planning on returning the favor after we ate."

I was completely shocked! I couldn't believe she just said that to her best
friend, as if it was the most natural thing in the world!

"You're fucked up!" Jamie said. "That's just gross!'

My sister laughed. "You asked!"

"Oh right! I'm supposed to believe you and your sister fuck each other!"

"First of all, she is not gross, and if you don't believe me, ask her."

She grabbed my foot, and I pulled away immediately, banging my knee hard on
the table.

"She's had her foot buried in my pussy for the past fifteen minutes,
rubbing my clit with her toes! And I probably would have came if she kept
it there!"

She reached under the table and grabbed my leg, almost pulling me out of my
chair and stuffing my foot back into her crotch.

Jamie sat speechless once again, as it became obvious to her that my sister
wasn't lying. My sister just kept on eating as if nothing ever happened. I
sat in disbelief, staring directly into my container of food, pretending as
if nothing was happening. I couldn't help but smile at the situation, and
struggled to keep from laughing. Jamie just looked back and forth at both
of us in disbelief, waiting for a sign that we were kidding.

"Oh please. You are so full of shit! You actually almost had me believing
you fuck your own sister!"

"Suit yourself. You don't have to believe me."

"Cut it out already! You're grossing me out!"

No one spoke.

"Okay then. If I'm supposed to believe you and Anne are lovers, then prove
it!"

Jamie sat back with a knowing smirk on her face.

"I have nothing to prove to you. I don't care if you believe me or not!"

"That's what I thought!" Jamie said. "Now cut it out."

I looked up across the table at my sister and smiled, as Jamie went back to
her food. My sister caught my eye and smiled. I quickly threw myself over
the table and planted my lips firmly on my sister's. We were soon making
out, obviously swirling our tongues around one another's, and putting on a
hell of a show. My sister grabbed me firmly by the back of my head, as I
reached across and gave her tits a firm squeeze with both my hands.

"OH MY GOD!" Jamie said.

We ignored her as she quickly jumped up from the table.

"THAT'S FUCKING GROSS!"

My sister broke our kiss and turned to face Jamie.

"I told you I wasn't lying."

Jamie stood there with her mouth open in disbelief.

"You should stick around, and we could have a threesome. I'm sure my sister
won't mind."

"The more the merrier!" We both laughed.

"C'mon Jamie. She's amazing! Let her eat your pussy while I eat hers. It'll
be fun!"

Jamie ran out of the house so fast, we barely saw her go. We both laughed
so hard we almost passed out.

"I can't believe you told her all that!"

"Well I didn't expect her to actually believe it! And I really didn't
expect you to attack me! I was only bluffing!"

"So what are we gonna do now? She'll probably never talk to you again!"

"I'm not worried."

"Well what if she goes and tells all your friends."

"She won't. And besides, who's really gonna believe her?"

"So what do we do now?"

My sister smiled and pulled me into the living room by the hand and threw
me on the couch. She pulled my shorts off, and my pussy buzzed with
anticipation. She quickly spread my legs apart and dove her tongue into my
pussy. I had never felt anything so amazing in my life. She licked and
sucked my clit until I couldn't stand it anymore. I grabbed two fists of
her hair, and my ass flew off the couch slamming into her mouth as I
exploded hard. It felt as if her tongue was in my belly, working to get
every last drop out of me.

I opened my eyes briefly, and caught a glimpse of Jamie out of the corner
of my eye, standing behind my sister. Her eyes widened, and I noticed that
her hand was furiously working between her legs underneath her pants. I
pulled my sister's head up from between my legs, and turned her around in
Jamie's direction.

"That was so fucking hot..uuugh." Jamie came, and fell down to her knees,
as she continued to rub herself for all she was worth. My sister and I got
up and pulled her up. She looked up at both of us and smiled as we hurried
upstairs to the bedroom.
