Unspoken Pleasure

It had started to rain. It'd been raining all week. Lexi could see Austin's car parked across the street; she knew he was home. Christine had seen him at the restaurant a few days before, so Lexi knew this was Austin's day off. This was so stupid. Dumb. A waste of time. Lexi turned the engine on. It roared to life. The raindrops turned yellow in the headlights. She clicked the car back off. Fuck!

Lexi looked at herself in the mirror again. Molly was right, she was a dumb slut. Fooling around with their Dad had been fun. Lexi didn't enjoy the whole dominance thing, the spanking, but it was neat to try something different. Was it weird that what Lexi liked best was that it felt like she and her little sister had really bonded over fucking their Dad together? It definitely wasn't normal. Of course, it was even weirder that sex with their father had inspired Lexi to get all fancy and head over to fuck her brother by surprise a few days later.

God, I'm so broken. But then why did this feel so much better than staying at home and acting 'fixed'?

Lexi got out of the car. She slammed the door behind her, like warning her better instincts to stay back. She hadn't brought an umbrella, so she scampered across the street -- rain splattered her head and bare shoulders -- and rang the bell. She heard an unfamiliar male voice across the com box.

"Pizza?"

"Lexi," Lexi said dumbly, "I'm Austin's sister?"

There was a long pause. Then a loud buzz. Lexi pushed open the door and stepped inside from the rain. The first floor was nothing but a row of beat up mail slots and a dirty, cracked-tile floor. Lexi was pretty sure her brother wasn't living in a crack house, but this wasn't much of an upgrade.

She went up the stairs carefully, like at any second the whole structure might collapse. People seemed to use the area outside their doors as closet space, based on how much stuff was piled in the hallways. The building smelled like beef stew, and not in a way that made her think that someone might actually be cooking it.

No rats, at least, Lexi thought to herself. She glanced around, nervously. No rats no rats no rats, she prayed silently with every step.

On the third floor, she found her brother's apartment: 3B. She stepped around a pile of clothes all wrapped in plastic and rapped on the door. It was opened by a short, dark haired boy that Lexi didn't recognize. He was wearing only a stained white undershirt and a pair of baby blue boxers. His eyebrows seemed to be in an ongoing campaign to conquer the rest of his face. The brows were winning.

"Hi!" Lexi said, forcing the cheer into her voice.

"Dmitri," he said gruffly. His accent came through on that one word. He stepped aside and let Lexi walk in. The apartment was... not as bad as Lexi feared? Totally not nearly as bad as her worst possible expectations. There were windows, for example. And furniture.

The kitchen was right there by the front door. Well, a stovetop, anyway. Behind that was a couch facing a sad, small TV. The whole place stank of boy, and not in the good way.

Austin was sitting on the couch with a game controller in his hand. Next to him was a tall, skinny boy wearing pajama pants and a torn, black t-shirt. He had thin blonde hair and a nose that could be in the dictionary under 'right angle.' "Lexi!" Austin exclaimed as soon as he saw her. He dropped the controller and raced over. He was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, which made him practically formal next to his roommates. He immediately wrapped her in a hug. "You look amazing," he gasped in her ear.

Lexi stepped back and let her brother run his eyes over her. He grinned, then seemed to realize where he was -- who else was looking -- and turned away.

"This is, um, well Dmitri you already met. And this is Lucas," Austin said. The two guys said hello.

"Nice to meet you," Lexi said. She noticed that neither boy could take their eyes off her rack. Well, at least she knew the dress was working.

"So, you heading out somewhere fancy?" Austin asked.

"No, I just wanted to..." Lexi stopped herself. If she wasn't going anywhere nice, then why in hell was she dressed that way? "I mean, yes. That is, I was hoping we could, umm, go out to dinner. Just you and me. You haven't been around since you went back to work and, well, I thought it would be nice if we could hang out and do something. You know?" She was rambling. Stop rambling. "So, what do you think? Or not. I mean, I don't want to impose if you guys have plans." "No plans," Austin said, finally interceding. "I should probably go get changed though."

"What you have on is fine," Lexi said.

"Are you sure?" Austin gestured at his outfit, "I think I'm going to look underdressed next to you."

"It's fine," Lexi repeated.

"Calm down, it'll be just a sec I promise," Austin said. He jaunted out of the common area and went back toward his bedroom. Lexi heard a lot of moving around back there, followed by a loud crash. "Almost ready!" he called from behind the door.

Lexi went over and sat down on the couch, holding her hands in her lap. Lucas looked over at her and grinned nervously.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," Lexi said.

Dmitri dropped into the lounger off to the side. He shared the same deep conversation with Lexi that she had just had with Lucas. Then they all sat there in silence. "So, playing Destiny?" Lexi asked.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yep," Lucas said.

"Yes," Dmitri said.

Good lord. Lexi had had more scintillating conversations with their neighbor's pet dog. The boys' approval of her outfit that had seemed so satisfying before had taken a hard turn off to Creepy-ville. Conversation, miserable as it was, seemed the only way out. "What do you guys do?" she asked.

"Software engineer," Lucas said.

"I'm a programmer," Dmitri said.

Shocker.

"Austin?" Lexi turned around and called to the bedrooms.

"Just got to find shoes!" Austin said. There was another loud crash. Finally, his door opened. He was wearing a wrinkled white dress shirt and a pair of dark jeans. He still had hiking boots on. Still, her blond brother made it look good. He smiled that goofy half-smile of his and Lexi was almost ready to shove him back in the bedroom and rip those clothes right back off him. It wasn't fair, how easy it was for a boy to put himself together.

Lexi leapt off the couch. "Took you long enough," she said, leaning in and giving her brother a playful kiss on the cheek.
