The Perfect Gift

I laughed nervously. “No idea,” I said, shaking my head.

“So, what did you want to talk about?”

I flushed hotly.

Rebecca’s jaw dropped. “Something happened,” she said slyly. “With a boy. Am I right?”

“More of a man, really,” I said softly. “But…yes.”

“Well? Who?”

“Your brother.” The words came out as a squeak and I cleared my throat. “Alex,” I said, swallowing again. “He came over here…about thirty minutes ago.”

“Oh my gosh,” Rebecca said. She clapped a hand over her mouth. “Molly!”

“And we, um…”

“Well, tell me,” Rebecca said eagerly. “I want to know everything.”

My cheeks burned as I recalled the intense, orgasmic sensations that had rocked my body like a powerful storm.

“We slept together,” I said. “It was..”

“Oh, god, I hope he wasn’t bad,” Rebecca said. She wrinkled her nose. “Did you have fun?”

All I could do was nod. “Yeah,” I said. “It was…really good.”

“Okay, like, I don’t want to know the super dirty details, he is my brother, after all,” Rebecca said. “But was he nice to you, at least? Like, not mean?”

“He was…very instructive,” I said softly, clearing my throat.

“Are you gonna do it again?”

“I have no idea,” I said. “We didn’t really talk. I mean, he just left when it was over.”

“Oh.” Rebecca frowned. “Are you okay with that?”

“Yeah,” I said. I blushed and bit my lip. “I don’t really even know what we would talk about. We don’t have anything in common.”

“You had good sex,” Rebecca said. She smirked. “I mean, that’s a thing, right?”

“Rebecca, you know he sleeps with everyone. You said it yourself.”

“Yeah, but…” Rebecca trailed off. “I don’t know, Mol.”

“He was fine,” I said. “And if it happens again, cool. If not, I don’t know, maybe you were right. Maybe I will start to feel more confident, knowing I had such a good time.”

Rebecca nodded. “That was exactly what I was thinking,” she said.

“Well, thanks,” I said, leaning back against my chair. I sighed. “I can’t believe it, but I do really feel different,” I said.

Rebecca nodded again. “Yeah, I felt that way, too. Like I had a secret, or something.”

“It was different for you,” I said. “We were younger, I mean, most people were still virgins then.”

Rebecca laughed. “Oh, Molly,” she said. “I don’t know about that. Most of the people I know lost their virginity in high school.”

“Gosh, that feels like such a long time ago,” I said. “Can you believe we only graduated four years ago?”
