Unspoken Pleasure by Erotica

Fuck: You Owe Me: 11

Laura was thankful she'd decided to wear underwear. Otherwise, she would have had a big wet spot on her cords. And that could have been a little embarrassing as they came back out into the complex.

It was just after two in the afternoon, and the morning crowds had thinned. The fields were now open to walk-ons and practices and would remain so until later that night when the high school teams came to play.

"So what's the deal?" Chris asked her. "Are we eating here or going out or what?"

"I don't know. I told Rebecca we'd find her."

Chris's brow furrowed as he thought of something. "Where did you tell her you were going after the game?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm assuming you didn't tell her you were going into the locker room to surprise me." Laura laughed. "I told her I was going to the bathroom."

He nodded. "Good thinking. Tell you what. You find Rebecca, I'll find Simon, we'll meet at the arcade and go from there."

"Okay." And before she realized what she was doing, she leaned in and kissed him. As their lips touched, it occurred to her that this was their first time kissing in public.

When she pulled back, she half expected him to be embarrassed or uncomfortable, but he wasn't. He just smiled at her cutely. "One more." Relieved, she was only too happy to comply. "See you at the arcade, kiddo."

"Brat!" She playfully pushed him away. She hated that name. And then he disappeared into the sparse crowd.

As she milled around the complex, she found herself less interested in finding Rebecca and more preoccupied with her thoughts. She couldn't stop smiling. With every encounter she shared with Chris, she became more bold, more comfortable and secure with who she was.

Ever since she'd first met him, she'd secretly had a small crush. She knew that was why they'd gotten along so well. As far as stepsiblings go, they were probably two of the closest, even before their little interludes had begun.

But then, vesterday something had clicked.in her mind She knew most people would expect them to feel guilty or shameful about what they were doing, but she also knew there was nothing ugly or dirty about any of it.

Society imposed guidelines, and many of those guidelines were rooted in thousand- year-old dogma and beliefs. But humankind as a civilization is constantly progressing forward, evolving, bettering itself. Now, some of those guidelines and supposed "morals" were antiquated.

But her mind was wandering...

The simple truth was this: Laura and Chris were not related. And while some may have viewed their budding relationship as "taboo", Laura knew in her heart that for them to be attracted to each other was completely normal. It would be no different if he were a guy that lived down the street. He just happened to live in the room next to hers.

She felt a tap on her shoulder. Rebecca was there beside her. "Hey," Laura said, "I was just looking for you."

"Really? I've been following you since field 3 trying to get your attention."

"Sorry, I was zoning out."
