Chapter 42

Yesterday had been magical for both of us. Though we’d only known one another for four days, we’d been getting progressively intimate since that very first night. We’d returned to a small natural grove we’d found just off a nature trail and made love for several hours, lost in one another. I’d never wanted it to end and we’d finished the day by making love in my bed down in the basement once my parents had gone to sleep.

I sighed as I wondered what to do. She was my mother’s sister, after all, and we were madly sexually attracted to one another. We couldn’t help it or fight it, the attraction, the need was so damn strong. The horror of what would happen if we were ever found out was too much to think about. Forgetting the shame and disgrace if it our affair became known, there were laws.

But we didn’t care. We were determined to continue this for as long as we could, seemingly. Our lust for one another showed no sign of abating. My dreams were about her, most of my waking thoughts were about her, making love to her or finding ways to thrill her and make her like me. When I’d awoken this morning, I’d looked over at my laptop and smiled, because she was sleeping naked on top of her sheets, an angelic look on her face.

I’d had sex before, I was not inexperienced. But sex with Alexa, my aunt that I was named after, was unlike anything I’d felt or experienced up to that point- it was primal, it was emotional, it was raw and torrid, but also had a deep, almost inexplicable bond. We’d whispered to one another, confessed that we’d been almost literally dropped in one another’s laps, for reasons yet to be determined. It was an intangible and we didn’t try to reason it out, only to act on what came so very naturally to us.
