OLDER SISTER SHARES SLEEPING BAG

[neerathemall]

We continued our hike. I watched as Claire's ponytail bounced up and down as she took each step. I stayed close behind her and we walked for almost half an hour more by the time we reached our destination.

There was a small partial trail that left the path of the main trail. We walked down the trail until we reached an opening in the trees. In front of us was a mini rock cliff. It wasn't a huge cliff where if you fell off you would die, but it had a steep drop off into some shrubs and then the lake about 14 feet below.

We had discovered that place a few years ago and we liked just sitting and hanging out there. We would read books, picnic, or play games. It was our little spot that we hoped only we knew about.

We walked to the edge of the large rock face and both sat, letting our feet hang over the edge of the cliff. It was beautiful looking over the lake from this vantage point. Claire scooted closer to me from her original spot and our sides touched. She then laid her head on my shoulder as we looked outward into the world.

"This is nice," I said, letting my thoughts creep out into words.

"I love this place," Claire responded. We sat in silence for a few minutes, just basking in the peacefulness. Eventually, Claire lifted her head from my shoulder. I could feel her looking at me, so I turned to meet her gaze.

Her deep blue eyes were staring into mine. She was gorgeous and there was nothing I wanted more in that moment than to kiss her. Luckily for me, Claire took the lead and planted her lips on mine catching me by surprise. I closed my eyes and followed suit, kissing her back.

This kiss felt different than our previous ones. It wasn't sexual or filled with lust. It was beautiful and passionate and I had never felt closer to Claire. This kiss was loving. If there were any onlookers they would have thought we were two young love birds, little did they know we were brother and sister.

The kiss ended with a hug. As we embraced each other, Claire said, "You're becoming a good kisser."

"Thanks... I've been getting some practice recently," I told her smugly as she released our hug.

Claire pushed me playfully on the shoulder. She looked out into the distance once more and looked as though she was pondering with some thoughts. Finally, she said, "This is crazy."

"What is?"

"Us... This trip... Never in a million years did I expect to kiss you. Let alone fuck you."

"Yeah, you're kind of perverted and fucked up."

Claire slapped my arm, "Shut up. I'm being serious... It's wrong... isn't it?"

"Yeah... I guess."

"I enjoyed every second of it... Kissing and becoming closer to you, but I don't know... It feels wrong. What if we get caught?"

"Yeah... We're siblings so... We should probably stop," I said regrettably. I didn't want to stop. Being with Claire was like the biggest epiphany I could have ever experienced. All these feelings I had towards her I never knew existed until after that first night.

"What happened on this trip never leaves here. Okay?"

"Okay... Everything goes back to normal after we go home. Tonight is our last night anyway."

"Yeah..." Claire didn't say anything after that. I waited for her to say anything, but it never came. She continued to stare off across the water. We sat there for some time, side to side. It was quiet and peaceful where we were, only a few other campers could be seen at the distant beach. They looked like ants with how far away they were.
