Chapter 1
Mae sat in the car, her phone in her hands. The car was parked at the airport. After going to college overseas, her stepbrother Owen was finally coming home. She was 11 years old when he left. And although she had grown up with him from the young age of 3, they hadn’t spoken much since he went away.
She used to feel bitter over that. When she was a little girl, she was enamored with her older stepbrother. She followed him around everywhere, to the point that he was annoyed by her. When he left, it felt like he abandoned her.
As the years passed, she got over it. She grew into a teenager herself. She found her own friends. She grew up. Just a few days ago, she graduated from high school. College was right around the corner, and now, more than ever, she understood why he left.
Still, she had mixed feelings about him coming home. She was a different person now, and she was sure he was too. Was it going to be awkward seeing him again after all these years? Or would it be just like old times?
There was no way to know. That’s why she decided to wait in the car while her parents went into the airport to get him.
She scrolled through her social media feed while she waited. There was a video of a cat pouncing another cat that made her laugh. She paused what she was doing, however, when she heard laughing from outside the car.
Lifting her head, she saw her parents walking towards the car. With them was a very handsome man. She did a double take when she realized that attractive guy was her stepbrother. That was Owen?!
He didn’t look at all like she remembered him. He was kind of straggly when he left. Tall but thin. He hadn’t quite grown into his adult body yet. Now… he had definitely filled out. He had broad shoulders with muscled biceps. His skin was a caramel brown color. A tan, no doubt, but with his black hair, it gave him an exotic look.
Even his face looked different. He had a more manly looking chin. A strong jawline. He was laughing and his smile was just as gorgeous and perfect as the rest of him. Mae couldn’t believe her eyes. It was like she was staring at a stranger.
“Mae, get out of the car and say hi to your brother,” said her mom.
Mae slowly put her phone down and opened the door. Owen had gotten taller too. As she approached him, he nearly towered over her. How could he have changed so much??
“Whoa, someone’s grown up!” said Owen as his eyes took her in.
“You’re telling me…” said Mae. “When did you get so tall?”
“Me? You were just a little thing when I left. Now you’re a grown woman!”
Mae scoffed. “I guess we’ve both grown up.”
“Guess so. Com’ere. I’ve missed you,” said Owen.
The next thing Mae knew, she was being pulled into a hug. She reluctantly hugged him back. Even the hug felt different. He was more firm against her chest now. And his scent… Why did he smell good?
Mae broke the hug and took a step back. She knew it was wrong to feel attracted to her stepbrother. This was the boy she used to play in the dirt with. The boy that threw rocks at her so that she wouldn’t find his secret hideout. But when she looked at him, there was only a shadow of the boy that he was. Now he was a full-grown man.
Everything was different now.
“Well, let’s get in the car. You can tell us all about college over dinner,” said her stepdad.
They went to a nearby dine-in restaurant to eat. While Owen shared stories with their parents about his adventures overseas, Mae was still trying to come to terms with how different he was. During one story, he looked over and winked at her. Mae blushed and looked away.
She didn’t speak much over dinner. When they got home, she went straight to her room. Once upon a time, she never wanted to leave her stepbrother’s side. Now, she felt strange around him. Like… she wasn’t herself. She didn’t like how he was making her feel.
A knock came at her door. “Honey, can I come in?”
It was her mom.
“Sure,” said Mae, seated on her bed.
“Hey…” said her mom. “Is something wrong?”
Mae shook her head. “No, why?”
“It’s just you’ve been really quiet since we picked your brother up at the airport,” said Mom.
Mae’s face flushed slightly. “It’s nothing. It’s just kind of weird, having him back, you know?”
“Weird how?”
Mae didn’t know how to explain it without making herself sound like a creep. “I don’t know. It’s been years. I guess I just need to get used to him being around again.”
Mom walked over to the bed and took a seat. She looked at Mae with a sympathetic look. “I know it was hard on you when he left…”
“Mom, it’s not that.”
“It’s okay if you’re a little upset. But I think it would be a good idea if you spend some time with him. Get to know him again. I used to love how close the two of you were. I always wanted you to have a brother. When I married Oscar, I was so happy I finally found you one.”
Mae smiled slightly, but she didn’t know what to say. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to get to know the new Owen. She missed him, that much was true, but they were both grown now. She didn’t think it’d ever be the same. Not like when they were kids.
“Will you try? For me?” asked Mom.
“I’ll try,” said Mae, mostly just to humor her mom.
“Thanks, sweetie.”
She gave her a hug. They were a family of huggers. Then Mae watched as her mom left.
Being alone, she dropped onto her back on the bed and let out a sigh. Would she actually get to know Owen again? She didn’t think so. She was better off keeping her distance. If they were meant to be close again, maybe it’d happen on its own. Naturally. If not, then… oh well. She was going off to college in a few months. It’d be the same thing all over again. Maybe it was for the best that they didn’t get close. That way she couldn’t be hurt again.
Later that night, when she was getting ready to turn in for bed, she left her room to go to the bathroom. She found the door cracked open, which she thought was strange, but pushed it open anyways. What she walked in on caused her to shriek.
There, in front of the sink, Owen was standing naked. His fingers were wrapped around his dick. And he was just going to town!
Right there in front of the mirror! He was whacking off!
“What’re you doing?!” Mae blurted without really thinking about it. She knew what he was doing. She just didn’t expect to walk in on it!
“Get out!” shouted Owen.
“Next time lock the freakin’ door!” said Mae as she yanked the door shut.
“I wouldn’t have to if you’d learn how to knock!”
Mae narrowed her eyes at the closed door. Why would she knock? It was her bathroom! It had been her bathroom for years! Why the hell was he whacking off in there? Why not just do it in his room?!
Feeling both surprised and frustrated, she stormed down the hall and quickly went down the stairs. She walked by her stepdad, who was in the living room, watching TV.
“Something wrong, pumpkin?” he asked.
“No!” said Mae, not trying to hide her frustration.
She huffed into the downstairs bathroom and shut the door. Unlike her disgusting stepbrother, she locked it. Then she let out a heavy breath. She couldn’t believe what she just walked in on. She never in a million years wanted to see her stepbrother beating off! It was so gross!
She walked over to the toilet and quickly relieved herself. As she returned to her bedroom, she avoided the living room. There was no way she could explain that situation to her stepdad. Not to her mom either. It was too embarrassing!
When she walked by the bathroom, the door was open and no Owen in sight. Good, Mae thought to herself. As she climbed into bed, she tried to get the image out of her head. It wasn’t that easy.
Mainly because… that was the first time she had seen a bare dick before. She didn’t like to brag about it. Actually, her friends had no idea. But she was a virgin. The furthest she had gone with a guy was some heavy groping. She had never touched a dick before, let alone seen one.
And never did she think her stepbrother’s would be the first dick she saw!
How sick was that?!
Yet the more she thought about it, the more… she inadvertently started trying to visualize it. It was big. Bigger than she imagined a dick to be. And it was hard. And veiny. It was strange. Very different from her own private parts. But there was oddly something attractive about it too.
Thinking back to the whole scene. Owen, standing there naked, jerking it in front of the mirror. He honestly looked really hot…
It happened so fast, but she remembered seeing a glimpse of his abs. They looked taut as he went to town on his cock.
It must have felt really good…
An hour or so later, Mae drifted off to sleep. Her panties were damp with arousal at the memories of her brother in the bathroom.
