SWOLLEN: A Secret Baby Sports Romance (32 page)

I disagree with you on that one Rachel, Tilly knows exactly how to communicate, and I’m picking up loud and clear what she’s telling me.
Play hard to get and I’ll enjoy it more. Beg and he won’t respect me.

“
And Tilly, I think it’ll do you good to get out of the house. You spend enough time in it at home. Marvin and I would be jumping at the chance to come with you if he wasn’t convalescing.”

Tilly gives her mother a look of disdain that makes me laugh.

“
I’m not the homemaker in this family, Mom.”

“
No, clearly not.”

Rachel could be referring to the clothes strewn all over the living room floor that she felt like she had to tidy up into a neat pile in the corner, or the fact that Tilly never puts anything away after she uses it, or the fact that she doesn’t have a boyfriend yet, or seemingly any intention to get one. Whatever she means by it, Tilly’s clearly not impressed. I decide to divert the conversation back to my burgeoning fantasy of sex out in the middle of nowhere.

“
So, what do you say, Tilly? You could make us both a picnic to take along.”

Tilly sticks both of her middle fingers up at me.

“
Alright, you think about it. I’m going to go tomorrow anyway so you can come along if you want to or not. The offer’s there if you want to take it.”

“
I’ll think about it.”

“
Good.”

“
It might depend on how well I sleep.”

Is that a come on, Tilly? Are you trying to say one thing and tell me another.

“
I think we could all do with a good night’s sleep. I’m absolutely shattered after what happened last night. Your dad took me from pillar to post.”

“
You’re not the only one.”

“
I told you all not to worry.”

“
While trying to puke all over my car.”

“
At least you’ve all got beds to sleep in.”

“
You’ve got a bed, Tilly, you’re just not using it.”

“
Landon’s right, darling. Maybe you should just swallow your pride and allow yourself a good night’s sleep for once.”

I’m nodding, perhaps more enthusiastically than I should. Even with Tilly lying in bed next to me, there is no way we’d be able to do anything without being heard. It would be even worse. It would be an exercise in absolute torture. It would be a real test to see how much we could both resist. It would make me so horny too, knowing we both want to but knowing we both can’t as well, not until the following day, and perhaps not even then either. On reflection, maybe it’s best if we didn’t at all, just because I know how difficult it would be. Fuck.

“
Maybe I should.”

“
Absolutely you should.”

My eyes go to Dad. This could be awful for both of us, yet Tilly will know exactly that and is not backing down. What she’s done is take the decision to do it very cleverly away from her.

“
I remember having to sleep for months either on a sofa or on a hard floor when Landon’s mother and I were splitting up, it’s absolute hell. I’m surprised you’ve lasted so long already.”

Tilly smiles at me.

“
You don’t mind, Landon, do you? I’m a pretty quiet sleeper.”

“
No, absolutely not. Maybe then you’ll feel refreshed enough to come with me tomorrow.”

“
Maybe I will.”

Tilly

That was a little unexpected, I have to say. I have quite a nice bruise developing on my elbow where I smashed into the decking, another on my toe where I stubbed it trying to right myself before anyone noticed my somewhat strange reaction. I don’t think Mom or Marvin thought there was anything unusual about my behaviour, nor the fact that my dress was pretty much hanging off me, Landon was semi-naked and sweaty, or that they had to duck a football flying towards them like a missile. So much for liberal parenting I guess.

Marvin’s illness has completely subsided, replaced by a thick coating of medication that has him smiling a little more enthusiastically than normal and chatting more heartily than he has ever done before.

Landon is just as disappointed at their sudden arrival as I am, which means that he does secretly want me much more than he is prepared to let on. He wants me so much, in fact, he’s engineered a day trip out of the house which will make it much easier for us to fuck each other. I would love to see the look on his face if I turned around and refused his advances, but the problem is, I know that I probably won’t be able to.

I’m going to struggle tonight as it is being in the same bedroom with him. This is my idea after all, not so that we can fuck, I know that’s going to be nearly impossible, but so that we can want each other even more, and the connection becomes ever more difficult to reverse. I say that it’s going to be nearly impossible for us to fuck, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want it, nor that he doesn’t either.

Mom and Marvin have already gone to bed, while Landon and I are sat together in the living room still, him on his two seater couch, me opposite, pretending to read a book, thinking about how I can phrase the things I want to say to him without being too obvious that Mom will pick up on it. It looks like he’s doing the same as well, because right now isn’t the first time he’s nodded towards the bedroom insisting that we move towards it.

My mattress is still on top of his, left there earlier before we moved out first into this room, secondly onto the decking to continue our game. Mom would have seen it had she gone into that room, and if she had, I wonder whether she would have continued to believe that what was clearly developing between Landon and I was still nothing but a sibling bond.

I wonder if I’ll move it. I’ll have to of course, but I wonder if I will.

Landon decides that he’s had enough. We can hear Marvin snoring so we know he’s asleep, not that it really matters anyway, but Mom is still turning over in the bed, perhaps overtired from the events early this morning, perhaps concerned that they’ll happen again.

When Landon passes me, I reach out and grab his arm momentarily. I shouldn’t, but I can’t stop myself and when he smiles down at me I immediately let go.

“
Bedtime, Tilly. Are you coming in now?”

I put my finger to my lips to shush him, even though there really is no reason too. We’re sleeping in the same room as stepbrother and stepsister, not in the same bed as lovers. Not yet, anyway. If I don’t go now, he might not allow me to take my mattress away. I might have to sleep on top of him, writhing away on that immenseness as quietly as humanly possible.

Maybe I shouldn’t go at all.

“
Yes.”

I follow Landon into the bedroom, my heart in my mouth, barely able to breathe. What am I doing here? How on earth have we allowed this to happen? I’m so tense I could snap, so horny I might explode just by thinking about it.

Landon closes the door behind him and then for a moment we just stare at each other from a distance away, his heart beating so hard I can see it pounding in his chest, my breath so short I have to gulp at it to get enough down.

We are alone again. Alright, Mom and Marvin are practically next door, behind a wall made of paper and we can hear exactly what they are doing, which, in turn, means they can hear exactly what we are doing, but aside from that it’s just him and me. The Donkey and Tilly. Stepbrother and stepsister. Not quite lovers, but not just family any more either.

I eye the mattress. Landon eyes it too. I bite my lip and Landon steps forward. I should stop him, but I don’t.

“
We can’t.”

I say it so quietly I can barely hear the words myself.

“
I know.”

He is close enough to kiss, his hands around my back, pulling me into him.

“
Tomorrow”, I say, confirming what he already knows is true.

“
Tomorrow”, he repeats, the word soft on my ear, chased by a silent kiss to my neck.

In his grasp, I am so horny I’m shivering. I can feel him swelling against my inner thigh. I should pull away, but I can’t. I knew I wouldn’t be able to.

If we don’t make a noise, they’ll never know.

“
I think we should get ready for bed.”

I nod, silently. “We can’t”, I say again, the words lost in the moan that follows, while Landon traces the tips of his fingers slowly down my spine.

“
We aren’t.”

When he gathers the hem of my dress in his hands, I don’t complain, and when he lifts it expertly over my head, instead of commanding him to stop, I lift my hands up to make it easier for him.

A second later his T-shirt is on the floor, and we are facing each other again, this time semi-naked.

This time I step forwards. Landon gathers me up in his arms, and I press myself against him so the skin of our bellies meet. This is a dangerous game and we both know it. One slip and Mom and Marvin could be in here like a shot.

“
You know that if we are completely silent, it’s just as suspicious.”

“
I want you.”

I can’t help but say it and immediate regret it as soon as it’s out. No more games, no more fucking around, no more pretend power plays. I want him so much it hurts.

“
I want you too.”

There is no fucking way in the world we can do this without being caught. No way.

“
Sleep with me.”

Landon’s words, not mine. I shake my head. There’s taking a risk and there’s downright stupidity. Us fucking in the first place is taking a risk, us fucking now when everyone will be able to hear us is suicide.

“
Then get naked with me at least. We can look at each other without making a sound.”

Can we? This is a dangerous game and Landon has already upped the stakes. Without even getting what either of us really want, we could be jeopardizing things before we’ve even begun. Yet despite all of that, despite the clear risk, the damage, the potential noise of our lust seeping through the walls like mating calls, when he reaches up to undo my bra, I am powerless to stop him.

“
We can’t”, I say again, but I already know that we are.

Landon

One single noise that shouldn’t be coming from this room and we are caught. I can hear my dad snoring away so loudly it sounds like he’s in the bed next to us, the walls creaking between the two rooms, water flowing through the plumbing, even Rachel turning the pages of her book. Whatever we want to do, whatever we are about to do, if it involves any sound at all, there is a high chance it will be the last time we ever do it.

I want her so much, which makes what I’m about to do probably either the stupidest thing on earth or the bravest.

We can’t fuck. It just won’t work. I want to more than anything in this world right now, but we just can’t. That means what we get is second best. That means all we can do is press ourselves against one another as quietly as possible and hope we are able to resist each other. In some ways this is worse than not doing anything at all, because it’s much easier to resist something if you don’t have that thing waved in front of your face.

That’s the plan anyway. Let Tilly slide my boxer shorts down while I work on her panties, and the two of us ease our way slowly and silently to the bed where we lie there, one on top of each other, side by side, however we fit, until we wake up in the morning, drive out into the middle of nowhere and screw each other’s brains out.

That’s the plan.

That’s the thing we need to do to ensure there is a one hundred percent chance we don’t get caught.

Guess what? Somehow it turns out that plans are easier to follow when the person you are desperately trying not to fuck doesn’t have your swollen dick in her hand ready to slide into her mouth.

I should warn her, but I’m not. I want to tell her that I was right, that I knew she couldn’t resist me, but she’s agreeing to all of that anyway by what she’s busy doing and there is no reason left for me to say it. I have to say, I did not expect this from her at all. I thought she was going to come in here, tease me to the edge of reason and then refuse me point blank, torture me with that cute little ass of hers hanging out of the bed, push me away and make me beg for it.

If anything, I’m the one that seems more cautious of us getting caught. I’m flinching every time I hear a noise come from outside of the room, just in case Rachel’s about to bust through our door and catch me mouth fucking her daughter. I’m holding moans in so tightly my throat hurts.

Tilly is not helping me either and by the smile she has on her face, I know she’s doing it on purpose. This is definitely part of her game to win me over, to show me who is really in control, and I can’t say I’m not enjoying it either. Silently sucking my dick, while she parts her legs, plays with her pussy and shows me her clit, while her mom is so close next door we can practically hear her breathing, that takes balls, man. That I have to admire. It’s not just that either. Tilly knows how to please me. She knows how to suck cock, she knows her to put on a show and tease me with what I know I’m not allowed to take in the way that I want to. If we fuck tonight it has to be glacially. It has to be measured in inches per hour just so we don’t wake our parents. If we fuck tonight, we may not be able to keep our secret any longer.
