Chapter 1: Introduction
Hi my name is Colton,
I am a fairly average guy. Almost 6 feet tall, wavy brown hair, average build, heck I even get average grades in school. This story is from when I was 20 years old and centers on my cousin Danielle who was19 at the time.
It was near the end of summer and my parents were going to spend a long weekend at my paternal grandparents’ lake house with the rest of the family and wanted me to come. Ever since I started university I had missed going on the family vacation since I needed to work and save up money for the school year. But this year they were going late in the summer so I figured I could quit my job a little early and still manage.
My dad was the oldest of three brothers. His youngest brother Kevin and wife Cheryl had three kids – a 2 year old, a 6 year old, and a 10 year old. The middle brother Rick, and his wife Sandra, also only had one child – Danielle. I didn’t even know if she was coming on the trip when I agreed to go but I had other friends at the lake so I wasn’t too concerned either way.
Danielle and I had actually gotten along really well growing up but we started to drift apart in high school. There wasn’t any problems, just we went to different schools and had different social circles so we just didn’t see each other very often.
I took my own car down. When I arrived everyone came outside to greet me – including my cousin Danielle. And wow had she changed.
The awkward lanky kid I knew was gone and was replaced but a total hottie. I don’t think she had grown much taller and I pegged her at about 5’2. She had nice shoulder length brunette hair, piercing blue eyes, and nice full lips. I will be fully honest though in that my attention was drawn to something else.
She was wearing a deep cut flowy black summer dress and when I say deep cut I mean deep cut. Based on my quick glance I figured she was at least DD bra size – probably bigger. I think she was also wearing a push it up bra and it took all of my willpower to not just stare at her amazing cleavage.
“Oh hey, I didn’t know you were coming,” I said to her as we hugged. Her breasts squished up against me.
“I was on the fence but when my Mom told me you were coming I decided to come out!” Danielle answered with a smile.
She smelled amazing too – ‘Frick Colton stop thinking about your cousin,’ I thought to myself.
“Well that is uh flattering,” I awkwardly replied not really sure what to say to that.
Before I could make a fool of myself my Grandma came outside. “Come and give me a hug,” she announced as she approach me. “Wow, you are getting so big,” she said as we hugged.
“Oh stop it Grandma,” I laughed. “Where am I sleeping?” I asked the group out loud as I broke off the hug with Grandma.
“Well uh,” my dad started. “Kev’s kids sleep like shit when they share a room so you are going to share the basement room with Danielle.”
Seriously? Like we have shared a bed lots of times when we were younger but now….. How was I supposed to not make a fool of myself now?
“Oh ok,” I answered a little confused but I didn’t get upset. I quickly glanced over at Danielle and she just smiled at me. Well at least she was upset about it. I turned around and grabbed my bag out of my trunk, “I am just going to go put this downstairs then.”
“Yea no problem – your mom is cooking dinner. Should be ready in 15 minutes or so.”
“Sure, I’ll be up by then.”
“I’ll come down with ya,” Danielle jumped in. “We can get the room set up.”
“Ok let’s go,” I said doing my best to keep eye contact before turning towards the house.
We started catching up on the short walk downstairs. She had just broken up with her boyfriend before finals and I told her I had been single since December. We both found school a lot of work but both were managing.
The room was small and cluttered but functional. There was a small window with a view of the lake, a double bed with a night stand on either side, and a shared bathroom connected through a narrow door. The other side of the room had the door hitting against the wall when open.
Danielle’s personality was not what I remembered. She was a bit more cheeky and sassy then I remember. Though I must admit, I didn’t know her for the past two years. I guess people can change. After a few seconds of silence while we unpacked our bags, I decided it was time to start making the bed. “So do you want the inside or outside?” I asked as I grabbed the sheets.
“Hmmmmm, I’ll take the outside.”
“I guess we are not going to cuddle then.” I said jokingly.
Danielle jumped in right away, ” Oh no! Would you like that? I could probably make an exception for the weekend.”
‘Ok was Danielle flirting with me? I mean I did notice her pretty face and body immediately but what guy could resist that,’ I thought to myself. ‘And yet she wasn't shy about the fact we are cousins.
Was she really that bold or is she just messing with me?’ I thought to myself.
Unsure of what to make of that comment, I shrugged it off and started to focus on making the bed. “Well we need some new blankets too, these smell like they have been in the basement for ages. Do you want to go grab us some clean ones from upstairs?” I asked her.
Danielle agreed and left the room. I figured she would just leave the room and come back but instead she actually took it upon herself to go upstairs and get them from Grandma.
I could hear her chatting and giggling with Grandma. I think she was in there for ages but she did eventually come back down with some new blankets and we made the bed together.
As we were making the bed together I asked her about her tattoos. She has 3 visable tattoos. She had one floral piece her forearm, another of a sunflower on her shoulder, and one on her side that was an intricate rose – right next to her cleavage.
She then mentioned her most recent one tattoo was one that I couldn't see. She asked me if I wanted to see it. Figuring it was like just beneath the bottom of her dress or something I say sure.
Danielle smiled and then slowly lifted up the bottom of her dress, Sure enough, revealing a new tattoo on her upper thigh. I had to admit, it was well done. It was a tiny butterfly and looked so dainty and feminine.
As she did, I couldn't help but notice that underwear - which was just a tiny thong was now clearly visible. She turn to her side to better show off the tattoo which I couldn't help but notice let me see her barely covered ass. The fact that Danielle was so casual about this....
I quickly looked away, not wanting to get caught staring, but not before I saw Danielle's smirk.
"Like what you see?" she asked with a wink.
"Uh, yea it is a nice tattoo," I felt my face flush and quickly changed the subject. "So, uh, what made you get that tattoo?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Danielle shrugged. "I don't know. I just thought it was pretty. I like butterflies. They represent change and transformation, you know?”
I nod, still trying to gather my thoughts and act like I wasn't just caught checking out my cousin's ass. “That makes sense. I've never really thought about getting a tattoo.”
She doesn't call me out on it though and continues to help me make the bed. I try to keep my mind off of how short her dress is and how close we are standing to each other.
After a moment of silence, she looks at me, "So, Colton, you aren't upset we have to share a bed?"
I take a moment to gather my thoughts, and finally manage to respond, "Uh, yeah it's fine." I wonder how I am going to manage to keep composed so close to my hot cousin.
As we finish making the bed we get called up to dinner.
"See you here later," Danielle giggles as we make to head upstairs. This was going to be a longer weekend than I thought.
The smell of smoke wafts through the air as my dad is finishing the steaks outside. The kids are in high spirits, playing with their toys in the backyard. Danielle and I make our way back to the group, where I decide to sit next to her during the meal.
Danielle and I end up sitting next to each other in rocking chairs.
We sip our drinks and watch as the sun sets over the lake.
I try to enjoy the pleasant conversation but I find myself getting lost in thoughts about the way Danielle looks in her short black dress. I can tell she knows I’m checking her out because she gives me a sly smile and casually flicks her hair back.
Why was she encouraging this? I can tell she’s flirting with me and I don’t know how to deal with that. After all, we’ve never been this close before and it feels strange to me.
But at the same time, I can’t deny that I find myself attracted to her - she’s nothing like the lanky cousin I used to know.
As the evening progresses, we all gather around the living room for some family bonding time. The kids are all playing games, Cheryl and Kevin are chatting with Grandma, and Rick and Sandra are sitting next to each other on the couch. Danielle sits down on the floor, right in front of me.
She pulls one of her legs up under her, twirling a loose strand of her curly brunette hair round her finger as she looks up at me with her piercing blue eyes. I She's still wearing that short black dress, and it takes all my willpower not to just blatantly stare down her cleavage at her way to big tits.
I try to focus on the conversation happening around me, but it's difficult when Danielle's sitting so close. I can smell the faint scent of her perfume - something light and fruity, reminding me of the sweetness of a freshly cut watermelon on a hot summer day.
After a while, everyone starts to filter out of the living room and head to bed. Danielle and I linger a bit longer.
She looks up at me and says, "Colton, I missed you. I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but I always had a good time when we were together."
Her words catch me off guard, but I find myself smiling back at her. "I missed you too, Danielle. We did have some good times."
We sit in silence for a moment, both lost in our own thoughts. I can't help but think about how different she is now - more confident, more mature, more beautiful.
She breaks the silence by standing up and stretching. "I'm going to head to bed. It's been a long day."
"Ok I will be down in a bit, I just want to finish my drink," I reply.
She leans down and gives me a quick hug before turning to leave. I watch her go, admiring the way her dress hugs her curves.
I can’t help but notice how nice her ass looks as she walks away. I quickly shake off the thought, “Colton, she’s your cousin, control yourself,” I admonish myself.
I take a deep breath and finish my drink, taking a moment to collect myself. I realize that I'm still holding onto the empty glass, so I get up and make my way to the kitchen to rinse it out.
As I’m standing at the sink, I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the window.
I look a little flushed and I can’t help but think about Danielle’s flirtatious behaviour. I shake my head, trying to clear my thoughts.
When I head back downstairs, I see that Danielle is already in bed, scrolling through her phone. The bedside light casts a warm glow around her.
I realize that I hadn't figured out what I was going to sleep in - I had assumed I would be in my own bed. Normally I slept naked which definitely wasn't going to happen. I guess I could sleep in boxers right? Meanwhile I noticed Danielle watching me out of the corner of her eyes.
Here goes nothing I said to myself.
I slowly undid the button of my jeans and slid them down my legs, revealing my boxers underneath. Danielle didn't say anything, but her eyes were glued to me as I moved. I felt a rush of heat fill my cheeks, but I tried to ignore it and kept moving.
I stepped out of my jeans and kicked them aside, leaving me in just my boxers -Danielle's eyes were wide as she watched me. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should say something or just continue getting ready for bed.
In the end, I decided to just keep going. I reached up and pulled off my shirt, letting it fall to the ground. I was now standing in just my boxers, feeling a mix of excitement and embarrassment. I could tell that Danielle was trying to play it cool, but I could see a reaction in her eyes.
I tried to act natural as I made my way to the bed. I noticed Danielle had change to a tank top to sleep in which was a little less distracting than her dress from earlier at least. But as I lifted the covers I noticed she wasn't wearing anything except the same thong from earlier on her bottoms. I think I gulped as I slid in beside her.
Danielle slowly put her phone down and turned to me, "Colton, are you comfortable with me in here?" she asked with a mischievous grin.
I swallowed hard, trying to suppress the feelings stirring inside of me, "Uh, yeah, we can make it work," I finally stammered out.
"Ok good ," she smiled at me. "Honestly, I think it might be nice to sleep with someone. I haven't since I broke up with Tom." Tom was her ex.
"Yea I can get that," I awkwardly reply.
"Let me get the light," ignoring my awkwardness.
I guess I couldn’t blame her, I hadn’t exactly slept next to someone since my last break up either. She rolled over closer to me and rested her head on my chest. I swallowed hard, trying to suppress the feelings stirring inside of me. But it was no use, I could already feel my pulse start to quicken as she moved even closer to me, resting her hand on my stomach.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I was finding it difficult to think straight, with Danielle's body so close to mine. Not to mention the fact she wasn't wearing pants.
I was surprised at how quickly she had fallen asleep, considering the events of the day. It had been a long time since I had shared a bed with someone, and I found myself lying awake, my mind racing with thoughts. I tried to suppress them, telling myself that it was just a friendly sleepover, but my heartbeat seemed to betray me.
As the minutes ticked by, I began to feel the weight of her body pressing against me. I could feel the heat radiating from her, and the scent of her perfume filled my nostrils. I tried to shift away, but she seemed to be anchored to me, her arm slung across my waist, her leg tangled with mine.
I closed my eyes, telling myself to relax. I wasn't sure what I was feeling. Why did she have to be so hot too?
She had grown up a lot over the last two years. This Danielle was a different person entirely. She'd gone from an awkward teenager to a confident, attractive woman who knew exactly what she wanted. She seemed so confident and alluring – nothing like the girl I used to know.
It took some time but eventually I dosed off to sleep.
