A Cousin’s Reckless Desire

My cousin Harper showed up at our doorstep just as the summer heat was kicking into high gear. She’d come to stay with us to escape the wreckage of her parents’ crumbling marriage — a war zone of bitter arguments and endless paperwork she wanted no part of. Our place, perched on a quiet hill overlooking a sprawling forest, was her refuge, a chance to breathe and lose herself in the wild trails and warm nights.

I hadn’t seen her in years — distance does that to family ties — and she’d transformed in ways I couldn’t ignore. At 20, she carried herself with a quiet confidence, her body a roadmap of soft curves: hips that swayed like a metronome, a firm, rounded backside, and breasts that sat high and inviting, not overwhelming but magnetic in their subtlety.

I’d been in a drought myself — my last fling, a fiery tattooed bartender, had fizzled out months ago, leaving me restless. Maybe it was that pent-up hunger, or maybe it was Harper’s sudden orbit in my life, but she ignited something feral in me. I’d catch myself staring, pulse racing, as she padded around the house in cut-off tees and shorts that hugged her thighs, her laugh echoing through the halls like a siren’s call.

I’m not bold — never have been — so I kept my distance, wrestling with the heat she stirred in me. It was maddening, watching her sprawl on the porch swing after a hike with my brother, legs dusted with dirt, her skin glowing with sweat and sunlight. She was a walking fever dream, and I was stuck burning up in silence.

I told myself she had to know — how could she not? — but it was all in my head, fuel for late-night fantasies where my hand became my only release, her image searing through me as I chased relief.

Then came the day luck — or something darker — tipped the scales. I was alone in my room, blinds half-drawn, lost in a rhythm of my own making, when the door creaked open. Harper stepped in, no hesitation, no warning — just her, bare as the day she was born, fresh from a shower. Water clung to her like a second skin, dripping from her dark hair, tracing rivulets down her collarbone, over the swell of her breasts, past her navel. I froze, caught mid-motion, fumbling to cover myself, but her presence swallowed the room. She was breathtaking — her chest rising with each breath, nipples tight and pink against her flushed skin, every inch of her radiating heat.

She didn’t flinch. Instead, she locked eyes with me, a slow, wicked smile curling her lips as her hand drifted south. Her fingers parted herself, teasing with deliberate strokes, her breath hitching as she leaned into it. I stumbled to the door, slamming it shut — my parents and brother were somewhere in the house, oblivious — and turned back to her, heart hammering.

I meant to sit, to watch, to let her unravel me from a distance, but she had other plans. She crossed the space between us, grabbed my wrist, and pressed my hand to her core. She was slick, warm, pulsing under my touch, and I couldn’t think straight. My lips found hers, hungry and sloppy, then slid to her neck, tasting salt and soap as I grazed her pulse with my teeth. My fingers moved on instinct, curling inside her, slow at first, then faster as she rocked against me, her gasps sharp and ragged.

Her hand found me, palming me through the strain of my shorts, and I swear I’d never been harder. She peeled them down, freeing me, and wrapped her fingers around me — tight, deliberate, stroking with a rhythm that made my knees buckle. Her thumb circled the tip, slick with me, and I groaned, low and guttural, as she teased me to the edge.

She shoved me back toward the bed, her kiss turning fierce, all teeth and tongue, and I hit the mattress with a thud. She dropped to her knees, her gaze locked on mine, and took me in — slowly at first, her lips stretching around me, warm and wet. She worked me with precision, tongue flattening against the underside, then swirling over the head, pausing to suck gently before plunging deeper. Her hands joined in, one cupping me, rolling and tugging with just enough pressure to make my vision blur, the other gripping my base as she bobbed, saliva glistening on her chin. She’d pull back to tease, dragging her teeth lightly along me, then dive back in, hollowing her cheeks, gagging softly as she pushed her limits. It was messy, raw, and perfect.

I was teetering, ready to spill, when she stopped. Climbing over me, she straddled my hips, guiding me to her entrance with a trembling hand. She rubbed me against her, coating me in her heat, then sank down — slow, torturous, inch by inch — until I was buried deep. The sensation ripped through me, and I came instantly, a shuddering, full-body release that had me clutching her waist, pulling her tight as I pulsed inside her. She didn’t stop, grinding down, drawing out every aftershock until I was gasping.

Spent but still hard, I lay there as she took over, rising and falling with a rhythm that built like a storm. Her breasts bounced softly, and I reached up, palming them, thumbs brushing her nipples as they pebbled under my touch. Her moans grew louder, wilder, her nails raking my chest — red lines blooming in their wake — as she chased her own peak. I clamped a hand over her mouth, desperate to muffle her, but she bit my palm, eyes flashing, and kept going.

Then I saw it — the door ajar, my brother in the frame, staring. His hand was shoved in his pocket, moving subtly, his jaw slack as he watched. He caught my eye, smirked, and mimed a zipper over his lips — our secret — before slipping away. Harper didn’t notice, too lost in her climb, but the thrill of it, the danger, pushed me over again. She clenched around me, her cry barely stifled as she shattered, and I followed, spilling into her a second time, our bodies locked in a trembling, sweat-soaked tangle.
