Katy thought to herself for a moment before deciding to bring up her next question.
“You sleeping by the fire with me tonight?” Everyone stopped and Katy could feel the tension thickening between her brother and his wife. For an instant, she regretted even mentioning it. She followed up her question timidly, ” For old time’s sake?”
Bethany twitched in her seat on the sofa and tried to suppress another stern, disappointed look. Jeff looked up at her from his sandwich assembly as if pleading for his wife to be reasonable.
“It is a bit of a family tradition…” he added.
Bethany looked at Jeff and then back to Katy before giving an annoyed, monotone response. “That’s fine… I suppose…” Her eyes then resumed focusing on her phone before mumbling under her breath, “at least I’ll get some sleep that way”.
As excited as Katy was to have paved the way for their traditional faux camp-out session, she felt that she may have aggravated the rift between Jeff and Bethany, a rift that she had guessed at before but was confirmed by her brother during their winter walk. A tinge of guilt washed over her but she reminded herself that her brother’s wife didn’t seem to have much of an interest in having her husband in her bed anyway. As that indignant thought floated through her mind, she was shocked at herself and again tried to reconcile how she arrived at these feelings over her brother in the first place. She shook her head as if to get her thoughts on track, but her feelings were undeniably still present.
The trio met again at the table for lunch. Katy ate primarily to preoccupy herself. More than once she raised her eyes from her plate and caught the last instant of what appeared to be a sideways glare from her sister-in-law. It reminded Katy of the same look she got when she danced with Jeff at his wedding.
UNO was another family tradition. Many heated and competitive games were had by Katy, Jeff, and their father at that very table. As the game got underway, Katy threw herself into it with gusto. Jeff enjoyed the game as well, as he always did, but didn’t possess the killer instinct that Katy always brought to such affairs. Bethany didn’t mind the game, but was still half in her own world and not nearly as invested as either of the siblings.
After a good many rounds, most of which were won by Katy, Bethany announced that she was going back to the sofa to continue the binge-watching of Friends. Jeff donned his coat and went outside quickly to bring in more wood for the fire leaving the girls to spend a few awkward moments alone together. Bethany had poured herself a glass of afternoon wine and sat back on the sofa alternating her attention between the show and her phone.
Katy sat down in her usual arm chair and retrieved the book she had started the previous night. Occasionally she would look up at Bethany half-expecting to catch another of her scowls that she did such a good job hiding from her husband. Katy’s mind was working on her again and she scanned Bethany in a critically observant way. Again noting the resemblance that Bethany had to Katy herself, but her indignant mind was offering up such thoughts as, I would fill out those jeans so much better, and you don’t deserve to have my big brother in your life, especially making you cum with his mouth. More than once Katy had to consciously force her attention back to her book and nearly gasped and audible sigh of relief when her brother reappeared with an armload of firewood.
“Was thinking of pizza and chips tonight,” he said as he stacked the wood on the stone ledge next to the fireplace.
Katy quipped back from her reading, “you won’t hear me complain about that!”
The three lounged in the living room for several more episodes of their sitcom then Jeff and Katy prepared the pizza and chips while the light in the windows started to take on the faint glow of evening. This was their last night in the cabin so there was a generous amount of libation enjoyed with the meal that seemed to soften Bethany’s stoic and dissatisfied manner as well as relax Jeff from feeling obligated to see to everything. For Katy, it was just fuel on the fire of her already smoldering thoughts.
“Before I have much more, I’m going to make sure the hot tub is good to go!” Jeff said before getting up to go to the back porch.
He didn’t take his coat with him though the porch was the same temperature as the outdoors. That fact gave Katy a passing thought he must be feeling really good and may perhaps be more receptive to… advances.
Bethany got up and retreated to the bathroom with her bag to get ready for the dip in the hot tub which left Katy in the kitchen by herself waiting for the bathroom to be vacated.
Jeff popped back in the door and started up the stairs to get his trunks as Bethany came waltzing out of the bathroom wearing a thick robe over her swimsuit and went ahead out to the porch. Katy lingered on purpose to ensure that she would be the last one to get into the hot tub. She could hear her brother jostling around getting dressed, hidden from view behind the chimney as it rose upward into the loft. She picked up her bag from behind the sofa and strode into the bathroom.
The air felt somewhat warmer this night than the last. Whether that was from virtue of the fire going all day, her tipsy state, or the warmth of her own libido, Katy could not tell. But this night as she stripped naked in front of the mirror, the cold wasn’t the primary reason for her nipples to be standing erect. She dove her hand into her bag and pulled out her bikini, the very same that her father had given her the admonishing look for taking to university, and laid the bottoms on the sink while she tied the top around her. She grinned smugly seeing how her erect nipples dimpled the fabric. She then plucked the bottoms up with her right hand as her left, operating with a mind of its own, slipped between her legs to fondle her smooth-shaven lips. She was already wet and she could see her pupils widen in the mirror as she played. She was tempted to stay there and make herself cum, but she heard her brother’s low voice calling out from the back porch.
“Did you get lost in there, Shortcake?”
Katy pulled the bottoms up over her hips and wet lips and pulled her hair back into a ponytail before slipping into her own robe and walking out to the porch. She walked through the door and gave her brother an annoyed look.
“I had to wee! Stop rushing me!” she said with a grin.
The tub was big enough to sit four people in relative comfort. Jeff and Bethany were already seated at the far side. Katy walked toward the table on the porch and faced away from them while she slipped off her robe and draped it over the edge of the table. She paused long enough to give an ample view of her curvy backside then turned around to see her brother’s eyes fixed on her just as she had hoped. Katy tempered her smile as she stepped into the warm water.
The troup relaxed in the tub, sipping their drinks and laughing the night away. Bethany seemed to finally be acting like she wasn’t miserable for the first time during their stay. The tub had built-in lighting, and the steam from the water created a blue haze around them all.
Katy spoke up after taking a sip of her wine, “So be honest, how many times have you two fucked in this tub?”
Jeff started laughing and even Bethany began to blush and turned away before Jeff responded. “Um… a couple times!” he replied.
Bethany slapped Jeff on the arm, “Jeff! What the fuck?”
Katy grinned, knowing that she was pushing Bethany’s frigid buttons, and added, “Yeah? And when was the last?”
Bethany scowled and recovered her face in her hands while Jeff eventually answered. “Last summer, why do you ask?”
Katy took another sip of wine before answering in a very satisfied tone, “Oh just wanted to be sure that I was the last one to have sex in this tub,” before cackling out in laughter.
Bethany finally piped up, “Oh god Katy! Aren’t you a bit young to be bringing guys up here to have sex?”
As annoyed as Katy was at her notion, she played it off with humor. “A girl has needs!”
Bethany covered her face again. Katy was quite enjoying making her uncomfortable. She was hoping it may be having the opposite effect on her brother, who could hardly keep his eyes off her.
“I think it’s my turn to take a wee,” Bethany said as she stood up out of the water and immediately wrapped her arms around herself to stay warm. “We should probably start the film soon, yeah?”
“Be right in after I finish this drink,” Jeff replied.
As Bethany tiptoed back into the cabin, Katy noticed her brother’s eyes looking her up and down as she soaked.
“So is that the bikini that dad gave you ‘the look’ about?” he asked.
“It might be…” Katy responded coyly.
“I think he may have been right about it.” Jeff said before taking another sip of his rum.
“Was he now?” Katy said with a grin.
