[Aldo]
The light is blinding for a few seconds, and suddenly it feels like I’ve got my dick in a mouse trap. Dawn bites my finger involuntarily, and we both finally see what’s happening.
There’s no one at the door, but if there was, what they would’ve seen was Dawn mounted on the prep-counter with me holding her dress up and my balls currently sandwiched against her pussy.
I pull out quickly and tuck my cock up in my waistband, as she slides off. Despite the interruption, it’s still hard as frigging rock. Dawn straightens her dress and adjusts her panties while the both of us get crushed with realization of what we were just doing.
“I…I…uh,” I begin but can’t finish.
“The snacks?” Dawn offers.
“Exactly, you go do that.” I flatten myself against the pantry as she races out. She grabs the jar of pickles and is off. I’m breathless in the pantry, gripping onto the pantry shelves. What the hell just happened?
I step out into the prep area and look about. There’s no sign of anyone here. I check under benches and peek through a few doors. There’s no one anywhere, we’re just an intersection of hallways.
Who the hell opened the door though?
I swallow and hope to God it wasn’t Luca.
Or-but why would he care? He’s the one that gave us a night off. Or why would anyone care?
The only person that would care is me-my face drops and I remember who I’d picked up that morning.
That’s why I’m freaking out. It’s time I left. To escape Dawn just as much as everything else. It’s mixed signals, I know, but shit my head is spinning.
I race through the house and come upon the living area just as all the adults are flooding inside. Dawn is guiding them in and spots me. She smiles and waves for me to come over. I mime getting a phone call and needing to go. She nods in understanding. She’s beaming. She’s just got what she’s always dreamed of.
What was I doing?
I pull myself away from the room and continue to flee the house. The party is winding down for the kids and gearing up for the adults. I see the slumber room setup and a few kids already playing. There’s a set of twins who’ve ganged up on some other poor unfortunate kid playing checkers.
Checkers? I do a double take. They’re three! Kids don’t know how to play checkers, do they?
I make a note to ask Dawn. Then think, I’ll definitely not be asking Dawn.
I’ve just broken the bro code. Not that Andre and I even have a bro code. I just mean-shit why am I in such a state? It’s just Dawn…
Except it’s Dawn!
Dawn, who I’ve known my entire life. Dawn, who I had a damn fart competition with when I was 13!
I break out of the house and into the fresh air. It’s freeing and feels like I can only breathe for the first time. I’m about to head out to my car when-
“Aldo!”
I turn, and it’s Sophie. “Heading off?”
“Yeah, yeah. Got a call from-just gotta get…ugh,” but I struggle to lie under Sophie’s gaze. I’ve always struggled to lie to her. I had the biggest crush on her for years until she met Luca. Then I just realized that I’d been lonely and had been crushing on the first girl to show me affection. I felt like a damn idiot.
Good thing I escaped into that crazy woman, Lindsey…
“Lindsey messaged?” she asks.
“Yeah, nothing crazy. We’re not ever-” I cut my arms across my body. “Nothing again. But I just had enough of people for the time being. You know?”
Sophie knows and smiles. “I understand. Thank you for coming, it meant a lot to Luca and me. And little Michael, of course too.” She places an arm on my shoulder. “We’re always here for you, my regards to Kendall and Camden.”
I nod and smile. We give each other a peck on the cheek, and I turn into the darkness. I flee for my ford and hop in. But it’s like escaping one furnace for another. The thing is a sweatbox after sitting in the sun all afternoon. I roll the windows down and start the engine.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, my mind is racing. I was just fucking Dawn! Andre’ little sister.
Dawn who is… damn fine now.
I grip the steering wheel hard, and I stare at the odometer. A bad thought to have just thought.
I shift into reverse and then head on out of the parking area.
Dawn is a woman now. Not just a little sister. Those legs…her curves… the way her tits felt pressed against my chest as I-
I nod to the guys at the gate, and they let me out. I feel my pants bulging as the blood racing around my body goes to the wrong head. Now isn’t the time to be thinking like an idiot. How the hell could I start anything with Dawn anyway? Andre is staying at my house.
But my mind already has an answer. He said Dawn needs to settle down…
Not with me though! With some other guy.
But what if it could be me?
I’m being a fucking idiot. I’m still reeling from Lindsey. That has to be it. I take a big breath in and hold it until my head turns light and then I let it all out. I take another one and merge onto the highway.
What the hell was I doing? I hadn’t meant to hit on Dawn, it’s just… seeing her in that little cocktail dress… how she stumbled out of the house in it. She was looking good. I’d never noticed it before. I’d been preoccupied.
Had she always been that hot?
