Secrets and Lies: A Forbidden Christmas Romance Between Cousins
The last month had been rough emotionally, but at least with Steph away at college I had plenty of time to myself to think. I'd thought I was in love with Sonja Scott, a distantly related girl who was a year younger than I was, but sexually much more experienced than I was. She'd cured me of my seventeen long years of virginity on the last Fourth of July, but then slept with my cousin, Jason Williams right in front of me while letting Jason's little sister Lilly pretend to be her in bed with me. That also proved to be her first time as well, judging from the blood she left on me.
The fact Lilly was a virgin until then and was more than a full two years younger than me made me feel a little weird, but after thinking about it, my dad was almost four years older than my mom. Steph had revealed that she lost her virginity at about that same age, so I guess that was not so unusual. But I was still mad that I was tricked by some scheme cooked up between them and my evil older sister.
I wanted to find some way of getting back at Steph, who had obviously set the whole thing up, and then went and snitched to Dad about the sexual encounter on Thanksgiving night. She'd had at least some sexual encounters at our house, I was sure, but even days of searching her room when I was home alone yielded no evidence or even a clue to any dirt on her.
I quietly turned eighteen at the beginning of December without any real party, just a cake from Mom and fifty dollars from Dad, but otherwise it was just another day. I decided the only other option was to try and steal her mobile phone when she came back home for Christmas. However that was easier said than done as she kept it with her at all times, and even locked her door now when she showered and slept. I didn't get a chance to even touch it before we all packed up in the car for the long drive back to the farmhouse the day before Christmas Eve.
I had gotten just a few presents this year, some scented soaps for Mom and a tie clip for Dad, but I'd be damned if I was getting anything for my bitch of a sister. I got a video game for Jason, and I thought about getting something like jewelry for Lilly, but I didn't want to send to strong of a message so settled on just a pretty charm bracelet. It was cute and had a few dangling trinkets of some of our mutual enjoyed hobbies, a guitar, soccer ball, and a book. The rest of our relatives just got a signed family card; our Mom took care of their presents which were usually just some clothes, often things we outgrew for the younger kids. All of that was packed up and we were back in the car for three hours.
I tried to ignore my sister Stephanie, but you cannot sit right next to someone for that long and ignore then completely them. Steph had her typical punk Goth look going, but I noticed she had a ring on her right ring finger that didn't have a skull or an ankh on it. In fact it was a class ring like they tried to sell at school but this one was clearly a guy’s ring, big and silver with a football on it, along with the initials 'KGL'.
Now if there is one thing I know about my sister it's her disgust for football and all jocks in general. Every person in our school heard about the linebacker that went out with her once and was left naked on the side of the road. So unless it was a stolen trophy, I'd wager she was pretty serious with a football player at college with those initials.
I stopped looking before I was caught starring, but I still didn't know how I could use this against her. I was lost in thought the whole rest of the drive, and that did make it seem much shorter than usual. Even more so than Thanksgiving, Christmas for our family was the smallest of the holiday events we came out to our grandparents’ old farmhouse for. Most of our more distant relatives all had more local traditions with the winter weather, and most of the closer ones were just here last month, so my family was about the most distant that came out normally.
The Williams' were already there this time, as well as the four or five other local aunts and uncles. Only a few kids would be here, so it'd be much quieter than most of our other family gatherings. Jake met me at the door putting back on his coat, "Granada's got the snowmobile fixed up and says the field is deep enough, follow me!"
Honestly the last thing I wanted after riding in a car for three hours was to go riding a Skidoo in the cold winter air for another hour, but Jake was already going and seemed excited, so I joined him. We got it started up and I jumped on behind him and hung on for dear life as he blasted the throttle and we zoomed across the fresh snow on the open field.
We're only about a mile away when he stopped us though. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"We need to talk," Jason said seriously.
"We could have done that at the house where it's warm," I complained.
"Not without Lilly overhearing," he explained. "So tell me for real, are you still interested in my sister, or what?"
I shrugged, "I don't know Jay. I've always thought she was cool, but..."
"Look, the only reason I let you fuck her last month was 'cause Sonja said she'd fuck me. Even then it was just that she was already sucking my cock, so really my little head doing all the thinking," my cousin explained. "But I think she's really in love with you man."
"I..." I wasn't really expecting that so stopped and thought for a moment. Lilly was much like her brother, a little wild and adventurous and a lot of fun and smart. She wasn't sexy hot, but still cute and I figured I could do worse. "I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not in love with her, but I'd like you're permission to date her and go from there."
Jason smacked me on the shoulder, "As long as you don't take advantage of her. 'Cause I'll kick your ass if you do." I laughed, but he continued, "No, I mean it. You don't think I can take you?" Jason was a little shorter than me so we got to play fighting that turned into snowball throwing for the next fifteen minutes. Tired and laughing we got back on the snowmobile and this time I got to drive and make Jason hang on behind me.
When we got back I saw Lilly smile at me as we were taking our boots off. Her elfin face framed with her narrow rimmed oval glasses and her brown hair was now shoulder length. Through most of our childhood she'd always had more of a Bobby cut, but the longer hair made her look older than the fifteen she was, as well as more feminine than I ever remember her. She was wearing a fuzzy Christmas sweater with Rudolph on it, with much larger bulges in the front than I remembered her having.
Jason saw her too and said he’d talk to me later. "Have a good time?" she asked shyly as if she were hiding behind her glasses as she mostly looked at my feet.
"Yea," I answered, then tried to think of what to say next and caught myself looking at the way her breasts pushed out as they rounded her sweater. Here we'd already had sex, and known each other for a decade, but now we were acting like we were introverted strangers. After a moment of frustration I just said, "I like you Lilly."
She looked me in the eye and calmly said, "I like you too Mike." Only then did I really look her in the eyes as well.
It looked like she was waiting for more from me so I figured I might as well go all in. "So... wanna be my girlfriend?" I'd never really had one before, so it sounded stupid and weird to just ask her.
Luckily Lilly blushed as she softly grinned, "Yea." With her response I found myself quite happy. Maybe I did love her, or maybe I was just full of myself. To acknowledge our new status I took her hand and walked her into the living room. No one said anything, but some of the adults, specificity her patents gave us a second look as we came in together. I thought her mom smiled at us, but her dad was in a conversation and didn't give a hint about his thoughts. I sat down with her next to me as we watched TV, still holding hands. The rest of that evening was like a dream. Lilly talking, laughing, eating, snuggling up to me. She was my first real girlfriend. The more the day went, the more I reckoned I too was in love.
After the rest of the family was all retiring for the night Uncle Luke, her father walked up to us, sitting giggling about something as we were holding each other as close as we could in public. "Time for bed Lil',” She got up and I began to follow, "Mike I'd like to talk to you for a minute."
I sat back down and tried to give a reassuring look to Lilly who looked back little worried. He was not a small man, but he was a lawyer, so there were always things being whispered behind his back. Once she was gone he continued, still standing looking down at me, "Mike, I already talked to your father, so I know about what you and Lilly have started doing. She's a smart and attractive girl, and since two are second cousins you are not quite incestuous. Also since you were both underage then, I have no legal recourse against you."
He paused to let his words sink in, but I could tell that he hadn't gotten to his real point yet. "Now that's not the case anymore. See Mike, now that you're eighteen, you're an adult. And as such, should you continue to have carnal relations with my daughter, who is still an underage minor in my care, why I'd actually be required by law to report you to the authorities as a rapist."
I gulped nervously as he smiled, "Glad to have this little talk." Then, satisfied that I was sufficiently threatened, he turned and left saying, "Goodnight," over his shoulder.
I left for bed in deep thought. Sure I'd only had sex twice, but was I ready to give it up for a little more than two years? Lilly's birthday was sometime in February, I'm not really sure which day since I've never been there to celebrate it.
When I got to the room I normally share with Jason I didn't turn on the light, seeing his form already huddled up in the single bed. I shucked off most of my clothes except for my boxers and undershirt, and started getting into the cot when Jason rolled over and let me know that it wasn't Jason.
"You sure you don't want to get in this bed?" Lilly said teasingly while wearing only what appeared to be a red nighty in the pale moonlight coming in through the window. It didn't look very substantial and now I wished I had turned on the light so I could appreciate it better. The only other time we had sex she was turned away from me in the dark the whole time. And of course I'd thought she was Sonja, so I really wanted to get more familiar with her more petite frame.
I wanted to just jump right in bed with her, but I had to tell her about the risk we were taking. "Your dad threatened to have me arrested for rape now that I'm eighteen."
"You know he's all bluster, don't you?" she sighed. "He threatened to call the cops if Jason came home after midnight, but he still stays out until one all the time."
"And just where is Jason?" I asked now thinking of everything that could go wrong.
"He's sleeping in the kids room since there is plenty of empty beds," Lilly explained. “He said it’s our Christmas gift.”
"But if you’re in here, then my sister is all alone and she'll know and rat us out," I insisted, wanting to believe it was okay to ignore my fears, but still sure this was just another trap somehow.
"She won't turn us in," she said smugly.
"How can you be sure," I asked suspiciously.
"If she did she'd miss out on sexting with her boyfriend."
"Really?" I asked shocked.
"In fact it was Stephanie who kicked me out in the first place," Lilly giggled. "She warned me that if her door opens tonight that someone will die. In fact she said it as an insult, but even recommended I try getting in your bed."
"Yea she always had been a crass bitch," I nodded thinking that sounded just like her.
"Besides, Dad just gave you the speech so he won't expect anything until at least tomorrow night," Lilly finished with pulling the covers back even further so I could see her long thin naked legs in the dim moonlight. "So get in here and help keep me warm."
She said it playfully, but I treated it like an order and jumped right in the bed next to the sexy young girl. We were both giggling and eager as we turned to face each other and resumed kissing, this time without the inhibitions of having our family watching.
One of my hands went to her side, feeling the silky smooth material against her skin, and then it traveled down her body to the small rounding of her hips. There it came to THE END
