Chapter 5 - Sibling Rivalry

She settled back in her chair and allowed the rays of the sun to beat down upon her body. She held her book in her lap, unopened. Her mind was too full of distractions to concentrate on the pages. For one thing, she was still pissed at her sister. First, for bringing Brad home, and then for expecting Aimee to be grateful she screwed a bargain out of him for her. She was also annoyed at her mother for always being too soft on Karla and forcing Aimee to take over for their father, being the enforcer.

"If I don't give in to her, Aimee, I'll lose her." It was the excuse her mother gave her the last time they argued about her sister.

Aimee just shook her head. "She's using you, Mom."

"She needs me. I'm not turning my back on her."

"What she needs is a swift kick in the ass. You're allowing her to manipulate you. She's a grown woman, for crying out loud! She can take care of herself. Trust me. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of listening to her do just that, thanks to our thin walls."

Her mother didn't catch the insinuation or, if she did, she chose to ignore it. "You don't understand. If I don't help her, she'll stop loving me. I'll lose her."

"If you have to buy her love with money or favors, then it's not love. You need to make her stand on her own two feet. Stop letting her use you."

As always, her mom never listened to her and Aimee found herself attending lunches and dinners she would have rather missed just to keep Karla from ripping their mother off. Karla was trouble all through school, driving their father crazy. Their mother always made excuses for her, bailing her out of trouble. Of course, with all that pent up frustration, she had to let it out somewhere, and Aimee was the puppy that was constantly kicked. Obviously, her mother didn't think she needed to buy Aimee's love, which was fine. Aimee didn't want her to feel she had to buy it. Yet, it would be nice to be on equal footing.

"Long day?" Aimee opened her eyes, as Clint slid into the lounge chair beside her, "Stay on the steps!" He called to Abigail, as he settled back to rest.

Aimee smiled. "Just a typical day."

"That bad, huh?"

"Karla brought home some guy last night and they kept me up late. My mom wants us to go over tomorrow night for dinner. My car needs major surgery. I think that's about it for now. Fingers crossed."

He gave a low whistle. "Wow. When it rains, it pours. Anything I can do to help?"

"Do you want my sister to live with you?"

"How about I help with the car, instead?"

"Chicken." Abigail let out a scream, as she threw water up into the air and let it hit her in the face. The little girl giggled hysterically as it pelted her, and Aimee laughed watching her. "But you seem to have such a way with kids," she said to Clint through her laughter.

"One kid. I don't need two, right now."

"I don't even want one, at least not right now, especially one that's twenty-five."

"What you need is a break and I have the perfect idea for you. My parents are picking Abigail up after lunch. I have to work early tomorrow morning, so they are having her spend the night, as opposed to me dropping her off before the sun comes up. Anyway, I have to do a walk through on this old house we're being contracted to remodel. You've mentioned how you want to take some pictures of old buildings. Why not come out and snap some shots, while I do my walk-through? You'll get your pictures, and I'll get some company."

Aimee thought about it a moment. She loved old buildings, especially abandoned houses. Usually there were things left inside that would make for some great photos. She toured one back in Gainesville and was able to sell the pictures almost immediately. They would probably go well at one of the art shows in the future. "Sounds like fun. When do you want to leave?"

"My parents are picking Abigail up at one, so how about right after that? It'll give you some daylight for your pictures, since there's no power in the building."

"Sounds great. Still leaves me time to lay out."

He just smiled at her as he laid back in his chair. "Great. Should be fun."

Aimee closed her eyes, her mind full of images of being alone in an abandoned building with Clint Asher. She already felt the tingling between her legs. If only he saw her the way her fantasies had him seeing her, she wouldn't be taking pictures at that building. Or they wouldn't be taking pictures of just the building. Maybe she could get a few shots with his shirt off to aid in her masturbation rituals at night. She'd never stop touching herself if that happened.

Aimee stared up at the pale blue sky and forced her legs not to touch each other. She could feel her breathing becoming heavier as the images passed through her mind only to settle in the slick passage of her sex. It was going to be a long afternoon of her thoughts torturing her.

    "Oh boy, my sister, alone, in an abandoned building with a man. And you're just planning on taking pictures? I bet that's not what he has in mind.""Not the things you have in mind, I assure you," Aimee said, as she slipped a T-shirt over her head. "I told you. He has his hands full raising his daughter. He doesn't see me that way. I don't think he sees anyone that way."Karla just shook her head at Aimee's comment. "You have so much to learn."Aimee slipped on a pair of old jeans and slid her feet into a pair of dark sandals. "You're not wearing that, are you?" Karla gave her a tsk-tsk tone, as she looked her sister up and down. "That's not very enticing."Aimee gave herself a once-over. "It's an old building. Besides, I'm not trying to be enticing. I'm going to be taking photographs.""What a waste of an abandoned building."The doorbell rang and Aimee grabbed her camera case and headed for the door. "Not everyone sees things as you do, sister dear. Sorry.""You're the only one that

    "Now you're going on a date with him? He's a single dad, Aimee. Why go on a date with someone who has a kid? Tell me he's at least rich or something?" Karla sat on the edge of Aimee's bed, as her sister tried to decide which outfit looked good, but not boring, on her. Or trampish. She didn't want to come off like her sister, and this was just a dinner to thank her for babysitting Abigail. It's not like it was an official date or anything. Aimee didn't know what one of those even looked like, it had been so long since she went on one. "Why do you sound so surprised? I go on dates." Liar. "And no, he's not rich. I don't go out with people for what they have. Besides, this is just a thank you dinner. Nothing fancy.""A thank you dinner? What is he thanking you for? What exactly did you do in that old building?" She had a look on her face like she was proud of Aimee."I took pictures, perv. It's for babysitting his daughter. Why are you making such a big deal out of this?"Karla shrugged.

    The waitress brought their drinks and they placed their orders. Clint made a suggestion as to what he thought were a couple of the best dishes, and she ordered based off his recommendations. He filled her in on his work, as they waited for their food. He was in construction, but he also owned a small warehouse where he made furniture and wooden sculptures. He liked to create with his hands, and he spent what little free time he had making pieces for family and friends. One day he wanted to enter a craft show and see how people took to his creations. It was a dream of his to live off his woodwork earnings one day, as it was for her to do with her photographs, but for now, being a single dad kept his hands full. "I do appreciate you being able to watch Abigail when I have to work late. My parents would do it, but I prefer her to be home around her toys and stuff. It makes it easier to settle her down when I do get home to finally feed her and get her ready for bed.""I can understand tha

    Aimee left on her date that wasn't really a date, leaving Karla alone. Karla hated being alone. After pacing around the apartment for a while trying to find something to do with herself, she decided the night called for alcohol and dancing, even if it was Sunday. She began to rummage around in her closet, looking for the outfit that would keep her from having to pay for her own drinks. Men were always so eager to help a slutty-looking girl. In the end, she chose a pair of white jeans, with holes in very strategic places, which hugged her ass almost as tight as her skin. She wore a blue blouse that tied in the front and fell open over the top of her breasts, revealing quite a bit of the softness of her round globes, and left her tummy exposed. As she was running a brush through her hair, her cell phone went off. The number wasn't in her contacts, which she thought odd. "Hello?" "Karla Harper? This is Mitch Greenway. Brad asked me to reach out to you about your sister's car.""Oh, yes,

    Karla scanned the place, trying to see if anyone tickled her fancy, but so far Sand Dune seemed all paired up. That was okay. The night was still young and held promise. At least, the band was decent, a reggae beat to go with the beach theme of the bar. She held her drink and watched an older couple twirling out on the dance floor, not a care in the world from what she could see. That was the way she would be when she was older. She didn't want to have to worry about anything, like her parents did when she was younger. They hardly ever ventured out that she could remember, the struggle to keep the bills paid always prevalent in their household. They weren't necessarily dirt poor, but they struggled enough that Karla felt she never possessed what she wanted out of life. She vowed she would never feel like that again and used whatever means necessary to get what she wanted out of life. So far, everything worked in her favor.She tried to do the same for Aimee, but her sister was too hung

  • The Harper Twins   Chapter 11 - Sibling Rivalry

    Aimee wasn't sure what to think, much less say. Until just a few moments ago, she didn't dare think of Clint as someone she could date. He was just the guy in the apartment building she helped out once in a while and who appeared in her fantasies. He was a friend. Safe. He had a daughter. He was the single father whose wife ran off. He was the reason she masturbated so much.She remembered how he came across when he first moved into the Sea Breeze Condominiums with Abigail, looking for a fresh start to life, forlorn and lost. Aimee would see them in the elevator or at the pool, occasionally down at the beach. At first, it was a wave here or a smile and a nod there. Bonnie left a few months prior and Clint walked around like a beaten dog, trying to make the most of what life dumped on him. Eventually, he dragged himself out of his funk and became a more cheerful human being, his smiles bigger, waves more inviting. They began to talk more and Abigail would run up to hug her. His babysitt

    Mitch had his hands on her waist, keeping her pinned to his crotch, which was announcing his plans for the evening. She ground herself on his swollen member, teasing him with the thought that his plans could be hers, as well. She had one hand around him as the other played with her dark hair, the strands falling from her fingertips in small waves, her hips gyrating a seductive dance that promised if they shed their clothes, she would be more than eager to fulfill his manhood's wishes. Of course, it was all a tease—at least, for now. It was how the game was played. Karla allowed men to think they had a chance with her, so she could manipulate them into giving her what she wanted. Once they did, she usually fulfilled those teasing moments. She couldn't have word get out that she only frustrated men now, could she? She may need something from them down the road, so it paid never to burn a bridge. Sometimes, she gave it up ahead of time, but that was usually only when she knew she was goi

    Aimee was home when Karla arrived and already in her pajamas, which resembled something Mary Tyler Moore wore on the ancient Dick Van Dyke Show. Karla rolled her eyes. Even when alone her sister had her body buttoned up tight. "You know, you could at least wear just a tee-shirt or even a nightie. What's with the man's pajamas?"Aimee just finished fixing herself a cup of hot tea in the kitchen and was in the middle of crossing the room when Karla entered the apartment. Hearing her sister's criticism, Aimee stopped and glanced down at her outfit. "What's wrong with my pajamas? They're comfortable.""They're boring. They're also men's pajamas. At least wear something feminine."Aimee shook her head. "Please. I'll wear whatever makes me comfortable. I'm not trying to seduce my sister or her boyfriends.""Do you even own anything sexy? What would you have worn if Clint went for the home run? You couldn't come out like that. It would scare him off for sure."Aimee plopped herself down on th

    They were the last ones to arrive at the park, the others already choosing a spot and Marvin Asher firing up the grill. Karla wore a skirt that actually covered everything it should and had her breasts tucked conservatively out of sight. Aimee was shocked but glad. Clint's parents would get to know all about her sister soon enough. Aimee didn't need the first meeting to be a shocker for them.Abby ran to the Ashers first, giving them each a hug and squealing when her grandfather picked her up and threatened to throw her in the air. Then, to Aimee's surprise and delight, the little girl ran to Aimee's mother and hugged her as well. She offered the others a quick hello and then darted for the playground, Clint's mother following just to keep a nervous eye on her. Paul and Mitch stood beside the picnic table, Karla clinging to Mitch's side, as Aimee's mother sat in front of them, all talking and laughing. Aimee stood still a moment, soaking in this perfect scene. They were one big happy f

  • The Harper Twins   Chapter 180 - Always Aimee

    Aimee stretched, her arms extending out to her side only to come up short as her hand hit another body. Rolling over, she gently ran a hand over Clint's face, a smile dancing across her own. The Saturday morning light peeked through his curtains, calling them to rise and shine, but Aimee ignored it, as she had tried to do every morning since Monday night. Every night she fell asleep beside him, and every morning she woke up wrapped around him, her arms exploring his naked chest. No matter how tired they were when they went to bed, the two of them decided, for Abby's sake, they'd make sure they wore pajamas before falling asleep. A young girl still had moments of nightmares, after all, and needed her Daddy in the middle of the night. Monday night everything changed. Bonnie was no longer his wife. Oh, he still had to stand before the judge next week and make it official, but for all intents and purposes, it was a done deal. Nothing stood in the way of their happiness now.She ran a fing

    When the kiss broke, he grinned down at her. "Just tell me we can do some more photo shoots."She laughed again, harder, freer. "Clint Asher, I'll do whatever you want. All you have to do is name it." She kissed him again, this time softer, with less urgency, but just as much passion.When the kiss was over, she slid back into her seat, scooping up her wine glass as she did. "So tell me about today."He did, sharing with her how Bonnie wasn't planning on signing the papers in the beginning. First, he told her Bonnie's revelation of a need for family and why she returned. Then, he explained how he convinced her how signing the papers was the only way for the two of them to get on with their lives, that she could be the best mother to Abby she could be, but she would never again be his wife. He told Bonnie that she needed to respect Aimee and make the transition as smooth as possible. They were Abby's parents, but they would never be friends.When he finished, Aimee told him about Bonnie

    The night dragged on, and Aimee could not shake her nervousness. Clint had asked her over to join them for dinner but still had not said anything about what he felt they needed to discuss. He hadn't even mentioned his meeting with Bonnie that afternoon, which made Aimee keep quiet about how the woman visited her. No need to bring up the subject if he was going to end it with her.Abby was a bundle of energy, bouncing on the couch and wanting to dominate the attention. After growing bored with that, she dragged Aimee to her room and played tea, while her father cooked dinner and music played from the front room. As Aimee played dolls with Abby, she wondered if the girl knew the extent of everything that was happening in the lives of the adults around her or if she was blissfully oblivious. For the little girl's sake, she hoped it was the latter."Dinner's ready," Clint called from the front room. Aimee had to admit he sounded happy since she arrived, not as if he was ready to send her o

    A knock came at the door. Aimee glanced over her shoulder but didn't move to answer it. If it was Clint, she wanted to postpone the inevitable for as long as possible.Whoever it was knocked again. Karla stepped out of the hallway, glanced at Aimee, and then moved to answer the door. "You worry too much," Karla said over her shoulder.Aimee turned back to the ocean, the curling waves matching the churning in her stomach. She knew she was being dramatic, but she couldn't stop herself. She hated defeat."What the hell are you doing here?" Karla's voice snapped Aimee's attention around. Expecting to see Clint standing there, she was stunned when she noticed Bonnie, the woman ramrod straight, her neck stiff, and one white-knuckled hand gripping her purse strap close to her shoulder. Aimee could feel the confusion furrowing her brow, her eyes squinting, as if trying to make sure she saw what she actually saw. "Bonnie?""Again I ask, what are you doing here?" Karla stood in front of the oth

    Something went wrong. While Aimee had no idea what that something was, she knew it had to be about Clint's divorce. Why else would he text her saying they needed to talk right after meeting with Bonnie? The waves barreled onto the shore, breaking upon the sand and rearranging the Atlantic Coast, just as Clint's text rearranged her security, sending her spinning in the riptide of the unknown. She stared at the white foam as the ocean sucked it back out into the deeper waters, reclaiming it as its own. Had Bonnie succeeded in the same thing with Clint? Had she won the fight and taken her husband back? Once again regaining her happy little family?She closed her eyes against the onslaught of scenarios that pummeled her mind, her head screaming against the intrusion. With everything she could muster, she tried to fight the battle within her, giving Clint the assurance he wanted that she believed him when he told her he would be here forever. Yet, it wasn't her experience. Men said whatev

    Clint pulled into the local Starbucks, deciding it was the safest place to meet Bonnie to get her to sign the divorce papers. Hopefully, the opportunity for her to respond negatively would be greatly reduced by the public meeting. He had no doubt that meeting her in private would lead to her doing something detrimental to the proceeding. He just wanted to get her to sign the divorce papers and get the whole thing over with, so he could get on with the rest of his life, get on with his relationship with Aimee.He sighed. Hopefully, get Aimee to calm down and return to normal. It wasn't that all the adventures she came up with weren't hot as hell. They were, and he wouldn't mind doing them, but not if she only did them to compete with Bonnie. He wanted Aimee to be Aimee, the woman he fell in love with, the woman who sat on the couch with him and Abby and watched Disney movies, the woman who jumped into a flour fight in the kitchen, giggling and tossing the white powder everywhere.

    Aimee stretched, her body screaming its protest at her, hating the fact that morning was already here, and she needed to rise and shine. Only one part of that would be possible until after coffee. She rolled over, her gaze drifting to the sliding glass doors at the east of her bedroom. The morning sun coaxed her, urging her to call into work and take the day off, to make a day of it at the beach, the sun's rays kissing her flesh. She grinned, scrunching down into her covers, her mind drifting to Clint's lips on hers, the passion in each one of his kisses, warming her insides like the sun would warm her outside. If she was going to call out of work, she wanted to spend the day in bed with Clint.Once they left his workshop, he went to pick up Abby and then met her at Charlie's for dinner. Abby was a chatty little girl, while she drew on her kid's menu, excited about being out with them. It was even pleasant to sit at a table, Clint's arm stretched across as he held her hand, Abby bounci

    They spent the next hour moving things around in his workshop, setting up a photo shoot of the furniture he intended on selling, and making each piece look enticing. Aimee threw herself into the task at hand, examining the shadows cast by the lighting inside the workshop and making a small studio spot off to the side with nothing in the background, using some of his dark dropcloths as background drops. Clint helped her move things around, happy to be the manual labor to her vision for his photos.Outside, night started to fall, casting darker shadows on the ground as lamp posts popped on, offering only a slimmer of light to illuminate the world. Aimee finished taking her pictures: rocking chairs, tables, even a dresser Clint had crafted himself. They teased, laughing at each other when Aimee wasn't so focused on what she was doing. This was her passion, taking pictures, and she could get lost in the process for hours, inspecting angles and lighting, zooming in and out, carefully select
