Unspoken Pleasure by Erotica

Chapter 221

Brother & Sister Pleasure: Ep13

Soon after, we sat down to the meal. There was enough food for all, but I would never have described it as a sumptuous feast. Weird how even our indulgences were a reminder of all the things we could no longer indulge in. Everything started OK. My Dad asked Kara how school was going, and she did a good job keeping things light. My sisters chimed in, and we were having a pretty good time. But then one innocuous question stopped everything dead. "So where are your parents during the holiday?" Mom asked.

"Oh, they're off at the ski resort," Kara said.

"Ski resort," my dad said. It was not a question.

"Yes, it was this whole thing," Kara said, "Dad said that money was tight, so he reserved at this place that isn't as nice as usual and Mom freaked out."

"Yes," Dad said, "Important to be financially responsible."

The room went dead silent. I think Kara realized what she'd been saying, but it was too late. The cloud of our family's failures hung over us, thick and murky. I felt it, heavy, in my chest.

We'd been those people, once. Never as rich as Kara, of course, but doing well enough to have a nice home, new cars, and a good vacation. Dad didn't set out to lose his job, we all knew that, but it happened anyway. Suddenly we were scraping by.

Dad had found another job for about a quarter of the pay. Mom went back to work and Jan cut grad school short to start earning money. The only reason Lucy and I weren't working was because Dad insisted that school was more important and wouldn't allow it. Watching him gather up those last shreds of his pride was almost worse than seeing it obliterated in the first place.

So, hearing Kara talk about having to accept the 'lesser' chalet while we stared at two sad, skinny chickens at a busted up table in a sad, old house -- I guess it hurt a little. With conversation stifled and the meal mostly gone, we turned to the one thing we still had plenty of: alcohol.

We'd ended up with a half dozen bottles of wine and we proceeded to methodically murder them all. It didn't make dinner less awkward, but it helped us remember less of it in the morning.

After dinner, the inevitable began to take its effect. My Dad found his way to the football game and Jan joined him. Mom ended up napping in a corner. That left Lindsay, Lucy, Kara and I to sloppily clean up.

At one point, while I collected the dishes and Kara and Lindsay were washing in the other room, Lucy sidled up next to me, nudging my side.

"Kara's been eyeing you all night," she said.

"That's nice," I said, absently.

"You should make a move," Lucy said, "I think she'd go for it."

"Last time, that did not turn out too well," I said, looking at my sister meaningfully.

"It's fine," Lucy said, "I won't get mad."

"Are you sure?"
