pool is closed.”
“Who cares? I could buy this whole friggin complex,” he grinned and looked around her apartment. She had nice things, his little step-sister. A big new TV, expensive lamps, framed art on the walls. And the leather couch they sat on was quite supple. “You got a nice place,” he said.
“Yeah,” she said, glancing around. “It’s not too bad.”
“Glad to see you’re putting my money to good use.”
She gave him a shocked face and smacked him with a pillow. “Your money,” she said. “You gave it to me . That means it’s my money now.”
“I guess you have a point,” he said. “Still. You have nice taste. You always did.”
“Why, thank you,” she said. She sat back beside him and popped the top on a Red Bull.
Their tradition, dating back to when they’d first started drinking as teens, was to stay up the whole night and see the sun rise before going to bed. It was something she had long since grown out of, but being with her stepbrother made her want to resurrect it.
“I didn’t buy all this stuff,” she said. “Ivan bought a lot of it when I moved out of Mom and Dad’s.”
Her stepbrother winced at the name. “Why the fuck are you still dating that goon?” He asked.
“He’s not a goon,” she said. “We’re talking about getting married.”
“Oh, God. Stop. I’m gonna have to crack open another bottle of tequila to deal with this conversation.”
“What’s the big deal?” She asked.
“The big deal? He’s a fucking criminal,” Stone said. “He’s a scumbag.”
“Aw, that was before, baby. Since he got out of jail, he’s been reformed. He’s got a real job and everything.”
“Yeah? Where? Asshole R Us?”
“Funny,” Victoria said, sipping her energy drink. “He works for his uncle. In an auto repair shop.”
“I’m sure he does. You know he cut off a guy’s ear, right? Beat another guy until he was brain damaged? And that’s just the shit that we know about.”
“He was a different person then,” she said. “People can change, Stone. Hell, look at you.”
“Um, Vic, I was a guy who sat around high playing video games. Then I got rich as fuck and travelled the world helping bring water and Internet to shitty areas of the world. Ivan used to send people to murder his competitors, and now he “works for his uncle”. Whatever that means.”
Victoria’s tanned face turned red. “You know, people say things, but if they can’t prove them, what does it matter?”
“Holy shit,” Stone said. “What is it about this guy that you’re attracted to? Is it his weird fuckin Russian accent? Is he hung like a horse? What is it?”
Victoria laughed so hard her drink spewed out of her nose.
“Aw, fuck, that’s it, isn’t it?” Stone said. “He’s got a gigantic cock, and you can’t go back to a normal dick now.”
“That’s not it at all,” she said.
“Well then, what?”
“I…” she shrugged. “I guess I see a different side of him. He treats me nice. I mean, he’s overprotective and a little crazy, sure, but any guy would be when he’s got all this to worry about,” she said, grabbing her breasts.
“You just think you’re all that, don’t you?” Stone asked.
“Baby, let’s face it,” she said quietly. “We both know I’m all that.”
Stone sipped his drink, remembering what it had been like to taste her lips for the first time. Fourteen years old, they had been, virgins, just exploring. How her soft ass had felt under his hand, the taste of her mouth on his. He remembered her spreading her legs, showing him her sweet pussy for the first time. He had gazed at it for a few minutes, just entranced by its beauty before nuzzling up to her delectable little slit…
Fuck, he thought. He had to move away from her a little and cover his crotch with his arm to hide how hard his cock had become.
She had been his first, and he hers. And out of all
