Author's Note: Here's Chapter 8. Hope you enjoy it.


Chapter 8, A Day at the Gym:


"Lunch is on the table when you want it!" the lovers heard their father call from the kitchen.

"I'll cover for you," Julie said as she hopped down from her brother's bed, having only barely been able to get started with him.

"But what about - ?"

"It's okay, I'll see you in a few," she told him as she buttoned her jeans and put her pink tank top back on.

They had been trying to recreate their favorite weekend for months now with very little success. The best they were able to manage was getting each other overly worked up before the door would open, forgetting they had to hurry and wanting to take it slow with each other to prolong it for as long as they could.

"What's for lunch?" Julie asked as she made her way into the kitchen and grabbed a bottled water from the fridge while John was still getting dressed.

"See for yourself," he told her.

Julie looked over to the plate in front of her seat and had to fight from retching at the sight. "How much grease is in that?" she asked at what she could only imagine to be some sort of giant cheeseburger that took up almost the whole plate.

"Will you sit down and eat your lunch?"

"Sure," she said as she went back into the kitchen and quickly put together a sandwich about half the size of the burger before coming back and gently pushing the other plate from her.

"What smells?" John asked when he came in now dressed in jeans and a red t-shirt.

"Your lunch," their father replied in an irritated tone.

John looked to his sister in confusion.

"I made myself a sandwich," she told him.

"Ah," he said before he turned back into the kitchen and did the same.

"John, Julie, I've had it with the two of you," he said, his tone still irritated as John took his seat. "You really think I haven't figured out what you're doing?"

John's throat seemed to have gone completely dry at that and he went to take a sip of his water as he feared what would follow.

"I'm tired of you two corrupting each other," he told them.

"Are you okay?" Julie asked her brother quickly as he began to choke on his water at that statement.

He nodded but his loud coughing told another story.

"See, if you'd just had the burgers, you'd be fine," he told them.

"What?" Julie asked as John took another sip of water to fix his throat.

"This so-called healthy lifestyle of yours, can't you two just try something else a chance, just once?" he asked.

"Better now?" Julie asked her brother as his coughing stopped and he seemed to have relaxed.

"Yeah," he answered with a soft smile as he took a deep, thankful breath.

They finished their lunch minutes later and John glanced at his watch, "Aw man, I'm gonna be late. I'll see you later, Julie. Later, Dad."

"Later," Julie said as she returned his soft smile to her.

"John, are you all right, man?" his friend and co-worker Adam Stevens asked him when he saw how hard he was hitting the punching bag several hours into the work day.

"Don't I look it?" he asked before kicking it so hard the chain rattled loudly, seemingly on the verge of breaking.

"What's going on?" the slightly shorter muscular dark haired man asked.

"Well, let's see," he said as he continued his workout. "I'm twenty-seven years old, still living in my father's home, not by choice and the only woman I wanna be with is the one I can't admit to even being attracted to because society says it's sick and wrong. Oh, and we're interrupted almost each time we try to even get close to each other. Forget about anything else for these past three weeks."

"That explains why you're so cranky," Adam commented.

John only glared in reply.

"How can he still not know? I mean, I found out in what, a month?"

"It was six and that's because you walked in on us in the showers," he told him before kicking the bag again with his other leg.

"Hey, I warned you about taking girls in there," he told him. "But hey, better me than some others, right?"

"Yeah," he agreed bitterly before bringing his gloved fists back to the bag.

He and Julie both knew Adam wouldn't say anything. Not because they had something on him, but Adam just didn't see the point in ruining the lives of two of his friends. Especially when he knew they already had it hard enough at home.

"How serious is it between you two?" Normally Adam would not even think to ask, but for once it seemed that John was willing to talk about it. Or at least needed to. "I mean, do you guys just go at it or is there really something there?"

"What we have isn't easy to describe, but it's definitely more than just sex," he answered.

"Is this just about easy access, lack of options or do you love her, in more than just a brotherly way?"

"Too much more."

"You know I'm your friend, right?" Adam asked.

"How is it anyone who asks that follows it with something less than friendly?" he asked in reply.

"I know you say you love her and seeing you together, I'm sure you do," he began, "but maybe you two should end it."

John scoffed in disbelief and hit the bag harder.

"Hear me out. If you love her like you say you do then you should want her to have a real life. To be with someone she can say she's with to anyone. To have a life without fear."

John hated what he was hearing. But only because he knew his friend was right. But at the same time, he knew he couldn't live without her. "Adam, you know I'm your friend, so hear me out," John told him through his kicks to the bag. "Think about Karen. With you being different races, what if she were to come up to you one day and say she had to end your relationship because it was wrong for you to be together."

"That's different and you know it."

"You'd be so hurt your self-control would be gone and you'd put your fist through their face. Then you'd go to Karen, pull her as close as you could and have your tongue searching for her tonsils in front of everyone in this gym," John stated. "So what makes you think I wouldn't do the same when it comes to Julie?"

"John, she's your sister. Like it or not it's illegal, immoral and more than a little socially frowned upon. If you love her, end it. Before she ends it out of her love for you."

Adam began to step away and a few minutes later John stopped again when he decided it was time he get to his last client of the day who would be in any minute. But as he looked ahead of him while taking his gloves off he could only see Julie just a few feet from him. 'Great, now I'm seeing things. Thanks, Dad,' he thought bitterly.

"Are you feeling all right?" she asked when she reached him.

It was then he began to realize his sister was really there and couldn't conceal the surprise in his voice as he asked, "How did you get here?"

"Karen gave me a ride," she told him. She stepped closer and added, her voice just above a whisper, "It's been three very long weeks and while this may be a public place, I guarantee we've got a lesser chance of being discovered here than at home. And if we are, at least it'll be by one of two people who already know about us and don't judge us for it."

He hated to admit it, but Karen knew their secret, too and since she was practically Adam's female counterpart, he and Julie knew she too could be trusted.

"I need to work out for a little longer, but stay close," he told her, a soft smile finally gracing his lips.

"Find me when you're ready to head into the showers," she told him.

"That shouldn't be too difficult," he said as he eyed her purple and pink spandex set. "Most everyone here tends to wear black and white," he added.

"Even you," she stated as she eyed his white tank and black pants, a soft smile now playing on her lips.

"We're gonna be okay, right?" he asked softly.

"We are okay," she answered as she leaned in and kissed his cheek. "Go finish your workout, I'll go get started on mine and you can find me when you get done."

He nodded in reply and headed off to another side of the gym while Julie made her way to one of Karen's sessions.

Nearly an hour passed before Julie saw her brother again and when she did he seemed to be in a much better mood. More like himself.

Coming up from behind her, his arms were soon gently threaded around her waist and he whispered in her ear, "I'm done for today and could use a sexy young thing like you to do my back."

Julie couldn't help but laugh at that as he began to hold her a little tighter and she began to melt into his embrace. "You sure sound better," she commented.

"You're here, Dad's not and Adam's willing to cover for us," he said, his voice still not above a whisper. Still, Adam's words were in his head, but he was determined to have Julie drive all of them out.

"Then what are we doing still standing here?" she asked as she turned in his strong arms to face him.

"You're right," he said as he lifted her over his left shoulder and began to carry her back into the staff locker room, Julie laughing mostly to herself almost the whole way in disbelief. But she couldn't deny that she was enjoying her above view of his tight butt. It was all that took her mind off of everyone in the gym seeing one of his hands on hers to keep her on his shoulder.

"That was bold," she stated as he carefully lowered her feet to the locker room floor.

"And I'm about to get bolder," he said. "I just can't stand being afraid anymore. From now on, when we have even a spare minute without Dad around, we go for it, knowing that it'll have to hold us for however long."

"Every time?" she asked, suddenly unsure if she could keep up for the very first time.

"All right, not absolutely every time, but close enough," he said. "Like if he goes out to the store or we get home before he does, just any time we're not too tired or needing to do other things while he's not around."

"Starting now?" she asked as she eyed their surroundings.

"I sure hope so," he said with an appreciative sigh at her considering it.

"You said Adam's covering for us, right?"

"He said he would."

"Our friends are great," she said as she pulled her top off and let it drop to the locker room floor before turning from him and walking towards the showers not far from them.

John just watched his sister move as she left her few clothes in a trail behind her for him to follow. And follow her lead, he did. Quickly he stripped himself and left his clothes on the floor with hers as he headed back to where he heard Julie turning the water on.

Julie could see her brother's reflection in the chrome knobs and before he got the chance to get too much closer, she turned and pressed her nude form as close as she could get just before kissing him very intently, her tongue immediately slipping past his lips and twining with his.

John kissed her back and locked his arms around her as the warm water had begun to intensify their shared heat.

Their hold didn't last long though as John brought his hands down her torso, cupping her swells before kneading them both gently and feeling her nipples almost instantly straining against his palms.

Julie's hands soon lowered themselves in return, her right going straight to her brother's already steel hard erection, her left to his very soon-to-be needful balls.

"You still remember," he breathed with a soft smile when they finally parted. "Now let's see if I still do." As John's right hand lowered again, this time to cup his sister's very heated snatch, they knew neither would last long.

Her hips were rocking into his hand and she was stroking him faster while her other hand continued caressing his sac, squeezing gently every so often while her lips went to his neck.

He groaned as he still grew harder in her tight grasp. At hearing her moan again, he slipped one of his fingers into her wet slit and thrust it into her while his thumb rubbed intently at her stiffened bud.

She gasped as her body tightened slightly at the surprise and the promise of the relief she had been needing for so long, her body seemingly instantly ready at his sensual touch. In her surprise, her hands left his pulsating groin and clutched his hips for support as she felt she would soon lose her balance.

"All right," he breathed as he carefully moved her back to the shower wall.

"Ah!" Julie gasped sharply as her back met the freezing tile wall and she immediately stood back up before leaning slowly back again.

"Cold?" he asked with a slight smile as he pulled his hand back.

"Very," she answered with a shiver and a laugh before bringing her lips back to his.

John held her close while feeling his straining cock rub against the soft, taught skin of his sister's lower abdomen. He soon groaned at the wonderful sensation, but still his body was needing more. Knowing the same had to be true for Julie as she deepened their kiss, he lowered his right hand again and gently thrust two of his fingers into her, her wet heat instantly coating them.

This time Julie moaned into her brother's mouth as her hips rocked towards his hand again. By now she had moved her hands again, running them up and his broad chest, only intensifying both of their needs.

After another minute, John pulled his hand back, their moans growing louder as their sexes were throbbing demandingly.

Julie knew what would be next and smiled to herself at the fact. She lifted her right leg and rested her thigh against her brother's hip as he centered himself and swiftly entered her eager pussy.

They both gasped in blissful amazement at the sensations, almost feeling as though it was their first time again.

"Were you always this big?" Julie managed to ask through her gasps as John began to slowly thrust into her.

"Were you always this tight?" he managed in reply as her muscles tightened around him again.

"We're never waiting three weeks because of Dad again," she stated quickly just before his hips met hers again, their pace already increasing as she brought her hands to his wide, squared shoulders.

"Never," he agreed as he gently squeezed her lower globes as her shoulders leaned against the tiled shower wall while her hands still remained at his shoulders, her nails digging in lightly.

Within another minute John's strong hands were curled around his sister's thighs and were lifting her in front of him and pulling her hips to his again with a bit more force.

By keeping her hands at his shoulders, Julie managed the long strokes she wanted while John kept her angled slightly to hit each desired point within her body.

"You feel so good," Julie moaned as she still clung to her brother's shoulders.

"So do you," he moaned in reply just before his lips came down onto her neck as he held her hips closer to his while their pelvises continued to meet, the slapping of their wet flesh sounding nearly as loudly as their pleasure filled cries.

They rocked together as hard and as fast as they could again and again, both struggling with their bodies for control, but knowing it was steadily slipping as their tremors were already beginning. It had been too long for them both and their bodies were instantly recognizing each others' and could barely hang on at the relief finally being granted.

Julie was soon shrieking in delight, each louder than the last. Her burning clit ground slightly against John's throbbing shaft and she could feel herself shudder all over as that was the last straw. Too far gone beyond comprehendible speech, she couldn't even scream his name, her gasps replacing her shrieks as her body slightly began to calm.

"That's it," he told her almost breathlessly, but still soothingly, as he rode out her orgasm, still nearly slamming himself up into her depths while trying to hold his flood back. But once again he felt her squeeze him almost too tightly again as his buried cock was bathed in her hot juices, he fell off his own edge. His own rapturous roars echoed slightly off the shower walls as the hot stream shot out of his straining stalk and into his sister's still spasming and seemingly fire hot cunt.

Breathing heavily, the siblings continued to rock against each other until their spasms finally ceased and they were both pleasantly spent.

Slowly and carefully, John lowered Julie's legs back down as they kissed tenderly again before beginning to sink to the shower floor, both still breathing heavily as they fought to recover.

"How did we only just think to do this here again?" John asked.

"Desperation does strange things to one's mind," was all Julie could think to answer with. "I'm just glad Karen called."

"I'm glad Adam covered for us."

"We've got to figure something out," she told him. "Because I don't think I could survive this again."

"You're not the only one."

"But, there's something I wanna talk to you about," she said. "I'm just not sure now's the greatest time."

"Hey," he said softly, "you should know by now you can tell me anything. Left, right, harder, faster," he added with a smile.

Julie laughed slightly, but what she was about to say quickly composed her. "Karen and I got to talking on the way over here -"

"Let me guess," he interrupted, "the words ending it came up?"

"How'd you know?"

"Adam."

"What are we gonna do? Karen's right, it's illegal and immoral -"

"And more than a little socially frowned upon," her brother finished.

"You know, those two are really starting to get on my nerves," Julie stated.

"Tell you what, how about a compromise, for them and for us? We take a step back and slow it down for a bit?"

"This from the guy who wants us to go at it every chance we get?"

"That's what I want, I can't deny that, but I love you and if that means going through these last three weeks again just so I can stay with you, I'll do it."

"I love you, too," she replied with a slight sigh. "And I know you just said we should slow it down and step back, but does that mean I'm not coming to the award ceremony, the banquet, in a few weeks?"

"No," he told her. "I want you there. It just wouldn't feel right otherwise."

"Guys?" Adam's voice broke in. "Not to rush you or anything, but think you might be done soon?"

The lovers laughed slightly and moved to their feet as John turned the water off and Julie reached for a towel.

"Two minutes," John called.

"Wow, my sympathies, Julie," Adam added.

"Out!" John replied as his sister was nearly doubled over in surprised laughter at Adam's words. He wasn't angry, just irritated as it wasn't the first time Adam had done this.

"Just be glad I'm not the kind of guy to try and sneak a peek!" Adam called.

"Out!" John repeated as he reached for a towel, though he couldn't help but find the humor himself, knowing Adam couldn't see anything from the doorway.
