Accidental Love (Accidental Hook-Up 1)

I was in the final decision mode when I turned to look behind me, seeing Celia waiting at the other end of the beach. Her dress blew around her legs as she stared at me and I raised a brow. I couldn’t see her face. What was she doing? Someone called her name, and I saw my sister on the deck, waving her hand. Celia looked at her, back at me and then ran for the stairs as Brinley said something to her.

By the time I got home, the girls were gone. Mom said that someone called about something and they left, asking me if I wanted to watch a movie with her. I settled on the couch, sipping water. “Are you okay, Remy? You’ve seemed down since you got home. Did something happen in Seattle?”

“Yeah, but it’s nothing to worry about,” I replied, meeting her eyes with a smile. “People aren’t always what they say they are.”

“That’s true.” She nodded and sipped her glass of wine gently. “You’ll be okay. You’re a good man, Remington.”

“Brin doesn’t think so,” I mumbled as Mom seemed to consider that.

“She’s your younger sister, Rem. That’s to be expected but I think she also sees herself in you. You have some of the same habits.” Mom was careful with her words, but I heard what she was saying. I just didn’t want to think of Brinley that way.

“That’s gross, Mom,” I told her as she laughed a little.

“For the record, I worry about both of you. With the things you’ve been through and her rebellious nature, I am awake a lot at night. Even Celia keeps me awake when I realize how lost she looks. She hasn’t followed in Brin’s footsteps too much, but I think she’s trying to find herself.”

I wanted to tell Mom that Celia did find herself in bed with me, letting go in ways I’d never seen her do. I held back. “She just graduated. She’ll be fine. She has options to choose from.”

“She’d rather have her parents than that money. I try to give her what she’s missing but I don’t think I do sometimes.” Mom shook her head sadly.

“Just be there for her. She was amazing at school and those grades will reflect later. She’s not a screw-up and wants to get somewhere in life.” I admired that about Celia. Even with her loss, she fought for what she has. I did decent in school, along with my sister but neither of us were like Celia. She was an anomaly in some ways.

“I want that to steer her. I’ll just be there when I can.” Mom looked at the screen at the movie that was beginning, seeming to be done talking for the night. I dropped my head back and tried to watch it, but my eyes started to droop.

I woke up later in the dark with a blanket draped over me. I heard voices and blinked as someone appeared in the dim light of the kitchen. My sister’s voice came from upstairs and I turned my head to see Celia getting some water and the short skirt that she was wearing made me sit up straight. She turned to see me awake and kicked off the heels, walking barefoot towards me. “Where did you go dressed like that?” I demanded as she paused.

“I went to a party. Stop trying to act like my father.” She barked at me before her hand went to her mouth. I stood and caught her as the tears started, guiding her to the couch. “It still hurts to say that.” Celia sniffled as I smiled and stroked her soft hair back. I knew how close they were when he was still alive.

“I know, baby,” I whispered as I closed my eyes, thinking about Jessie.

“I went out with Brin and dressed the way the guys would like. I thought that I could kiss one, and he’d magically sweep me off my feet. I thought that I could date like normal people.”

Dread filled my heart as I licked my lips. “And what happened?”

“I did it, but it didn’t feel right. He tried to get me into a room and I fought him.” I pulled her closer and let the rage fill me slowly.

“Are you okay?” I asked gently, keeping my hold on her light.

“I’m fine. I went outside and hid until Brin wanted to come home.” Celia told me as I relaxed. “Why doesn’t anyone feel like you, Rem? I just want to feel the way I do when you kiss me.”

“I feel the same way.” I breathed as we moved closer on the couch. I stared into her eyes as she sniffled. I wiped at her eyes and she tried to smile. “Can I kiss you?”

“Yes.” She whispered as I licked my lips slowly. I looked up the steps to see that they were dark and flicked the TV off to put us in even more darkness. I moved my mouth against hers gently as she gasped, loving the heat that passed between us. Celia slipped an arm around my neck and pressed closer to me, her lips parting for mine. I tilted my head to deepen it and she moved over my lap. I felt her heat over my shorts and resisted the urge to reach down and cup that perfect ass. “Remy,” she murmured as she rocked against my swelling cock.
