				Daniel walked along the crowded sidewalks, weaving his way around other people on his way home.&nbsp; All around, people hurried, trying to get back to work from their lunch breaks, or trying to reach the different food shops that littered the streets, while he simply strolled home, done for the day.&nbsp; It was nice, having a job with flexible hours.&nbsp; As internal tech support for the company he worked in, a lot of the time he didn't even have to go in to do his job.&nbsp; If the problem was small enough, he could guide the other person over the phone, telling them what needed to be done.&nbsp; He really only ever had to go in for the big problems.<br><br>Daniel had applied for college immediately once he was out of college.&nbsp; However, the college he had applied for was halfway across the country, to his parents' dismay.&nbsp; They couldn't understand why he wanted to go so far away, when there were good schools close by.&nbsp; It had ended with a fight between them, and he left soon after.&nbsp; For the first couple of years, they didn't talk much, and he only went back for Christmas, and didn't stay long.&nbsp; What he hated the most about the whole thing, was leaving his little sister behind.&nbsp; They were always close, him taking his role of protective older brother seriously.&nbsp; She had just started junior high when he left, and he remembered the way she had cried that day, begging him not to go.&nbsp; Every Christmas, he made sure to buy the best, most expensive present he could for her, to make up for the fact that he wasn't there.<br><br>He had earned his degree a couple years ago, and now, here he was, twenty-six years old, with a great paying job, and a nice, spacious apartment.&nbsp; He was currently single, though he had had his share of girlfriends in the past.&nbsp; And he never had problems picking up a girl for a fun night or two; he was tall, standing at just above the six foot mark, with green eyes and short, wavy red hair.<br><br>As he approached the steps leading up to his apartment building, he came face to face with someone he wasn't expecting to see, at least not until Christmas.&nbsp; Noticing the small number of suitcases scattered on the steps, he knew something was up, that this wasn't just a visit.&nbsp; "And just what do I owe the pleasure of this visit, little sister?"

				Her head snapped up suddenly, and she pluched the earbuds from her ears.&nbsp; Sarah forced a bright smile, but the expression hardly touched her eyes.&nbsp; "Hey, Daniel.&nbsp; I, uh, was checking out the schools out here, and I thought I'd just drop by, see...how you're doing."&nbsp; She stood up and brushed off her jeans.&nbsp; She was a good five inches shorter and seven years younger than Daniel, but she'd grown up well: she'd developed the soft, womanly curves of hip and breast, with lean legs and shoulders.&nbsp; "I know I should have called...I was looking for a hotel, and I just happened to be in the area, so I decided to wait to see if you came home for lunch."&nbsp; She realized she was talking quickly, almost rambling.<br><br>She ran one hand through her pale hair, which was more blonde than red, especially in bright sunlight.&nbsp; It was a nervous gesture from childhood.&nbsp; She nodded at the apartment building behind her.&nbsp; "This's a nice place.&nbsp; Or what I've seen of it, anyway."&nbsp; Her smile faded briefly, replaced by a small frown and a darkening of her green eyes, but sh quickly pushed that look aside and smiled again.&nbsp; "So, what have you been up to?"

				Daniel let his eyes wander over her body as she stood, and for a moment, his gaze wasn't that of an older brother, but that of a man, admiring a woman's appearance.&nbsp; She had grown up well in his opinion, and it confused him how she hadn't had a boyfriend yet.&nbsp; He could see how she forced her smile, and shook his head at her nervous habit.&nbsp; As close as they were, he knew when she was faking.<br><br>Looking down at her luggage once more, he sighed and leaned over, taking some into his hands.&nbsp; "I guess I might as well let you in, and let you stay.&nbsp; Just please, please don't tell me you decided to run away from home, and that I should be expecting a call from mom or dad demanding to know if I've put you on the first plane back home.&nbsp; If you don't, I can live in ignorant bliss that my life won't be trouble."&nbsp; Walking past her up the steps, he opened the door to the building, letting her inside.

				Sarah laughed.&nbsp; "Of course not."&nbsp; Kinda tough for their parents to call Daniel looking for her when they didn't know where Sarah was.&nbsp; She gathered up the last of her luggage.&nbsp; "When have I ever made your life trouble?" she asked in a teasing tone.&nbsp; Of course she'd given him a hard time on occasion.&nbsp; She was the little sister.&nbsp; That, she believed, was her job.<br><br>She followed Daniel into the building.&nbsp; "Really, Daniel...thanks.&nbsp; But if I get in the way, just let me know, okay?"&nbsp; Her voice took on a slightly nervous edge.&nbsp; "I just wanted to check out the colleges and stuff."

				"When have you ever made my life trouble?&nbsp; Oh, just about every time I brought a girl over.&nbsp; You just always had to come in and hang out, didn't you?&nbsp; You made it hard for a guy to get past first base, you know."&nbsp; Leading her to the elevator, he pressed the up button and waited.&nbsp; Once the light dinged, and the doors opened, he stepped in and pushed the button for his floor once she was in.&nbsp; <br><br>Setting a bag down, he wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into a one-armed hug.&nbsp; "Yeah yeah.&nbsp; It's not like I can just send you home after you came all this way.&nbsp; And don't worry, if you do get in the way, I'll just boot you out."&nbsp; Once the doors opened again, he led her into the hallway and to his door.&nbsp; Opening it up, he walked in and stepped aside, setting her stuff down.&nbsp; "Well, this is it, Casa Daniel."<br><br>The apartment was a large, spacious three-bedroom set up.&nbsp; The living room area was occupied by a cream colored couch and two matching recliners, situated around a plasma screen sitting on an entertainment center.&nbsp; There was a book shelf nearby, with various books, dvds, and cd's set up.&nbsp; Grabbing up her things once more, he led her down the hallway to one of the bedrooms.&nbsp; "You'll be staying in here, in the guest room."&nbsp; It was a sparsely decorated room, the bed was pretty much the only thing in it.&nbsp; <br><br>"My room's at the end of the hall, and there's a bathroom to your right.&nbsp; Now, there's only two real rules you'll be following if you want to stay here.&nbsp; Number one: don't make a mess.&nbsp; I'm not mom, and I'm not your maid, so I am not cleaning up after you.&nbsp; And rule number two, and this is seriously important.&nbsp; I mean it, if I find out you broke this rule, you're out on the street, sister or not."&nbsp; Reaching out, he pointed at the door across from her room.&nbsp; "Do not go in there.&nbsp; It's private, and you have no business going in there, understand?"

				Sarah rolled her eyes as she got in the elevator.&nbsp; She remembered those times fondly: great fun to her, watching those girls panic and smooth out their hair or skirts in an effort to avoid corrupting the kid sister.&nbsp; But she was an adult now, and she understood boundaries and privacy better...that, and their father had made a point of waiting on the front step whenever a boy brought her home from a date.&nbsp; And if the boy tried to kiss her in the car...not pretty.&nbsp; "That's what little sisters <em>do</em>," she said with a laugh.&nbsp; "Just like, if you were home, you'd intimidate all my boyfriends.&nbsp; But I promise, I won't intrude now.&nbsp; Unless your date's really weird, then I'll let you know.&nbsp; Discreetly."<br><br>She followed Daniel into the apartment and through to the guest room, where she set her bags down.&nbsp; She nodded slowly as he told her the rules.&nbsp; "Simple enough.&nbsp; I can do that."&nbsp; She stared at the door to the forbidden room for a second, wondering what could be inside.&nbsp; But then she figured it had something to do with his work, sensitive computer parts and whatnot.&nbsp; She'd heard that a single spark from static electricity could ruin a computer in an instant.&nbsp; That, of course, made the room that much less appealing.<br><br>"This is a really nice place, Daniel," she said, heading back out into the living room.&nbsp; "I mean, really, if you'd told Mom you were living in a place like this, she'd stop fussing over you so much.&nbsp; She's worried that you're living on food stamps or something."

				He had to roll his eyes at that.&nbsp; "Oh geez.&nbsp; They know I've graduated from college.&nbsp; Did they think I went there for no reason?&nbsp; Well, maybe it's better if they think that.&nbsp; If they knew how well I had it, they might want to come up and visit.&nbsp; And I really don't want that."&nbsp; Walking back into the living room, he flopped down into a chair, looking up at her.&nbsp; "Well, now what?&nbsp; You're here, you're moved in, and I have the rest of the day off, unless I get called in for something.&nbsp; There anything you want to do?"

				Sarah shrugged.&nbsp; "Mom's all worried that you couldn't find a job after college, or something."&nbsp; Another shrug.&nbsp; "You know how Mom is."&nbsp; She curled up in another chair, hugging her knees to her chest.&nbsp; "I dunno...What is there to do out here?&nbsp; Aside from check out the schools," she added hurridly.&nbsp; "I'm a little tired from the flight, though, so nothing too extreme."&nbsp; Yup, tired from the flight...and staying up all night before so she could pack and leave while their parents were out.

				"Yeah, I know exactly how mom is."&nbsp; Moving so that he was laying sideways in the chair, legs over an armrest, he leaned back so that he was looking at her upside down.&nbsp; "Well, there's pretty much what you'd expect from a big city.&nbsp; There's a few malls here and there, a museum downtown, and movie theaters.&nbsp; There's an amusement park a few hours out of town, but you said nothing too extreme.&nbsp; Or if you want, I can go and rent some movies while you take a quick nap."

				"Ooh, a nap does sound good right about now," Sarah said, stifling a yawn.&nbsp; She hadn't really thought much about sleeping, given her anxiety to get away.&nbsp; But she was safe now.&nbsp; Daniel wasn't about to kick her out unless she broke one of his rules, so she was not only <em>far</em> away from home, but she didn't have to live on the streets of a strange city to save cash.&nbsp; So now her exhaustion was settling in.&nbsp; "But really, when's the last time you saw me in a museum?" she asked, grinning a little.&nbsp;

				"True, true.&nbsp; You never were one for museums.&nbsp; I guess I had just hoped that maybe you had, you know, matured some.&nbsp; So I guess it's movies it is then.&nbsp; I'll run out and grab a couple while you catch some z's.&nbsp; I'm going to grab one I want, and one you want, so what'll it be?"&nbsp; Rolling back around in the chair, he stood and stretched.

				Sarah stuck her tongue out at Daniel.&nbsp; "I'm plenty mature," she huffed.&nbsp; And then, realizing how juvenile she looked, she giggled.&nbsp; She shifted in the chair so she was kind of laying on her side, her knees still pulled up to her chest, but her arms folded on the arm of the chair.&nbsp; Her bangs, long enough to desperately need a trim but too short to tuck behind her ears, fell partly across her eyes.&nbsp; "But I dunno...something funny, I guess.&nbsp; But no stoner films.&nbsp; What're you gonna get?"

				Daniel rolled his eyes.&nbsp; "Mmmhmm, real mature.&nbsp; Anyway, I figured I'd get the new X-Men movie for myself.&nbsp; I've already seen it, but I want to see what kind of extras they have for the dvd version."&nbsp; Walking around behind her chair, he reached down to ruffle her hair.&nbsp; "So something funny, but not a stoner flick.&nbsp; Well, don't complain if you don't like what I pick.&nbsp; There's food in the pantry and fridge if you're hungry and want to eat before your nap.&nbsp; Be back in a bit."&nbsp; Slipping quietly out of the apartment, he headed down and out to the street and began the walk to the video store.

				Sarah waited a few minutes to make sure Daniel hadn't forgotten anything.&nbsp; Then she sat up and stretched.&nbsp; Her shoulders sagged as the fatigue suggested taking a nap right there on the chair, no matter how uncomfortable it would be.<br><br>She stood and shuffled to the guest room.&nbsp; The kitchen was tempting, but she wasn't that hungry.&nbsp; She'd eaten "pancakes and scambled eggs" on the plane that tasted more like cardboard and chemicals.&nbsp; Real food would be nice, but she wanted sleep more.<br><br>But her feet stopped in front of the forbidden door.&nbsp; Yeah, she'd convinced herself it was full of computer stuff...but why didn't Daniel just <em>say</em> it was computer stuff?&nbsp; <br><br>And honestly, what else could her brother be into?<br><br>Her hand rested on the knob, but she didn't open it.&nbsp; She really didn't need to be on the streets, especially for doing something as foolish and poking through her brother's private shit.&nbsp; And she wasn't about to go home...<br><br>Sarah backed away from the closed door and retreated to the guest room.&nbsp; There were other ways of figuring out what was behind that door.&nbsp; She flopped onto the bed and quickly fell asleep.

				It didn't take long for him to reach the video store, and once inside he headed to the end of the new arrivals, grabbing a copy of X-Men Origins.&nbsp; After that, he perused through the aisles, looking for something Sarah might like.&nbsp; Reaching Monsters vs. Aliens, he paused and picked up a copy, looking it over.&nbsp; "Well, it's something funny, and it's not a stoner film.&nbsp; Plus, I've kinda been wanting to give it a try.&nbsp; Well Sarah, hope you won't complain."<br><br>Moving to the checkout register, he paid for the two movies and was soon back on his way home.&nbsp; Not long after, he slipped back into his apartment, shutting the door as quietly as he could so as not to disturb his sister.&nbsp; Setting the movies down on a chair, he made his way to the guest room, peeking in on Sarah.&nbsp; Noticing her curled up on the bed, sound asleep, he smiled and slipped inside, stepping quietly up beside her.&nbsp; Looking down at her, he reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her cheek.&nbsp; He couldn't help but let his gaze wander over her form, taking note of every curve of her body.&nbsp; She had really grown and filled out as a beautiful young woman.&nbsp; He almost wished they hadn't been born as siblings.<br><br>Moving back into the hall, he pulled out his phone, deciding he needed to make a call.&nbsp; Lifting it to his ear, he smiled at the sound of a familiar voice.<br><br><em>"Hello sir.&nbsp; I'm happy you've called.&nbsp; I can't wait until tonight.&nbsp; My body still remembers the last time we were together."</em><br><br>Daniel chuckled, his little pet was always so eager to play.&nbsp; "Hello pet.&nbsp; I'm calling about tonight.&nbsp; I'm afraid you're going to have to wait a little longer."<br><br>He could almost hear the pout he knew she made on the other end.&nbsp; <em>"But why sir?&nbsp; You haven't gotten bored of me, have you?"</em><br><br>"Of course not, little one.&nbsp; My sister decided to surprise me by showing up unannounced, and it has been a while since I've seen her.&nbsp; So I hope you can forgive me for wanting to be a good brother and host for her."<br><br><em>"Of course sir, forgive me.&nbsp; Family should be important.&nbsp; I just hope you won't forget about me.&nbsp; And maybe sometime I can meet her?"</em><br><br>"Hmmm, we'll see.&nbsp; I'm not sure how knowledgeable she is of our...lifestyle.&nbsp; But I'm sure she'll like you.&nbsp; But now I have to go.&nbsp; She might wake up at any time.&nbsp; But before we go....Since you've been so eager for tonight, a little fun.&nbsp; Until the next time I call you, you're not allowed to touch yourself.&nbsp; At all."<br><br><em>"But master!....As you wish.&nbsp; I'll do my best.&nbsp; Though, you may have to punish me for disobedience if you wait too long."</em><br><br>He laughed quietly at that, a smirk on his face.&nbsp; "Oh, is that so?&nbsp; Well, we'll see whether or not I have to punish you.&nbsp; Until then, pet..."<br><br><em>"Until then, master...."</em>&nbsp; Hanging up the phone, Daniel moved to the living room to wait for Sarah to wake up.

				Sarah woke to footsteps in the apartment.&nbsp; She made it through the brief moment of panic before she remembered she was at Daniel's.&nbsp; She sat up, running her hands through her hair to assess the damage.&nbsp; She didn't think it was too bad...but she rooted through her bags in search of her hairbrush anyway.<br><br>She found the brush in a side pocket at about the same time as she heard Daniel's voice.&nbsp; He was talking too quietly to be talking to her, plus she doubted he knew she was awake.&nbsp; But she couldn't resist listening in.&nbsp; Daniel talked so little about his life after moving away...<br><br>And he hadn't mentioned anything about a girlfriend.&nbsp; <em>Wait..."lifestyle?"</em>&nbsp; Or maybe boyfriend.&nbsp; That could explain why Daniel moved across the country as soon as he could, and why he never talked about his personal life.&nbsp; And, maybe, why his apartment was so nice.<br><br>At the last minute, Sarah decided to change her shirt, which she'd worn since the day before.&nbsp; She swapped out the plain grey T-shirt for a blue plaid flannel button-up, taking her time with the buttons.&nbsp; She didn't want Daniel to know she'd been eavesdropping, even though she'd missed the last little bit of the conversation.&nbsp; She waited a minute before heading out into the hall.&nbsp; "Hey, Daniel.&nbsp; Whatcha get?"

				Daniel looked up as Sarah walked in and smiled.&nbsp; "Hey sleeping beauty, enjoy your nap?"&nbsp; Standing up from his chair, he walked over and wrapped an arm around, guiding her further into the living area.&nbsp; "I picked up X-Men Origins like I said I would, and I got Monsters vs. Aliens.&nbsp; I hope that's alright."

				"Ooh, I like that one.&nbsp; Good choice."&nbsp; She flopped onto the chair she'd occupied earlier.&nbsp; She pulled her knees to her chest again and held them there loosely.&nbsp; "Your place, you decide which we watch first."&nbsp; She drummed her fingers on her shin.&nbsp; She really wanted to ask Daniel about what she'd overheard, but she couldn't think of how to phrase the question without admitting she'd eavesdropped.&nbsp; So she held her tongue for now.

				"My pick huh?&nbsp; Well then, we'll do this scientifically then."&nbsp; Pulling out a quarter, he flipped it up into the air and caught it.&nbsp; "Heads it's X-Men, tails it's Monsters vs. Aliens."&nbsp; Opening up his hand, he looked down and saw that it was tails.&nbsp; "Just as well, I thought about watching it first anyway, since I haven't seen it.&nbsp; I'm going to go put some popcorn in the microwave, so you put the movie in.&nbsp; I trust you're smart enough to work the tv and dvd player?"&nbsp; Smirking, he got up and moved to the kitchenette, pulling some popcorn from the pantry.

				"Yeah, they're really good in this.&nbsp; Real funny."&nbsp; But her tone was thin, distracted.&nbsp; She really wanted to avoid acknowledging her slip of the tongue.&nbsp; But, she figured, it was Daniel's family, too.<br><br>"Um, y'know that accident Dad had at work a couple months ago?&nbsp; Well, he can't work now because of it.&nbsp; He's on a lot of painkillers, and he's miserable because he's not working, money's tight...and he's been making life in general miserable.&nbsp; He's been drinking, even though he's not supposed to on the pills...and he's just angry."&nbsp; Sarah tapped her soda can, chewing on her lower lip.&nbsp; "He doesn't even have to drink much before he's drunk.&nbsp; And he gets <em>angry</em> when he's drunk."&nbsp; She shrugged one shoulder.&nbsp; "You get the picture."

				Daniel nodded as she mentioned the accident, remembering it.&nbsp; Hearing what's happened because of it, how their dad's been acting, he frowned.&nbsp; "Has he gotten...violent?&nbsp; He hasn't started beating mom, has he?&nbsp; Or you?"&nbsp; Setting the popcorn bowl aside, he patted his lap.&nbsp; "C'mere.&nbsp; Come on, don't make me come over there.&nbsp; You don't want me sitting in your lap, trust me."

				Sarah smiled a little, sheepishly, but she got up and crossed to Daniel's chair.&nbsp; She perched on the arm and leaned into him, resting her head on his shoulder.&nbsp; "He, um, he mostly yells, but he's thrown stuff around too.&nbsp; Half the dinner plates are gone, because he broke them.&nbsp; He hit Mom a couple times, but...you can't tell her, okay?&nbsp; She tried to keep him from hitting me, but he did once, last week.&nbsp; She doesn't know.&nbsp; I tried to get her to call the police, but she won't.&nbsp; She just thinks he's sick, and he'll get better..."&nbsp; She buried her face in Daniel's neck.&nbsp; "I told her I wanted out, but not that I was coming here."

				His frown deepened as she told him about all that their dad has done.&nbsp; Reaching out, he wrapped an arm around her waist and slid her down onto her lap, tucking her head under his chin.&nbsp; "He didn't hurt you too bad, did he??&nbsp; You should have told mom.&nbsp; Dad needs...well, he doesn't necessarily need to go to jail, but he needs to see someone.&nbsp; A doctor, or shrink.&nbsp; Or anger management classes.&nbsp; I'm not excusing what he's done, but it's not all his fault either.&nbsp; If he could stay away from the alcohol, and get some professional help, I'm sure things could get better."<br><br>Reaching up, he rubbed her back gently.&nbsp; "You should probably call mom sometime, to let her know you're okay, and to check on her.&nbsp; You won't have to leave though; you're an adult now and can make your own decisions.&nbsp; You can stay here as long as you want."

				Smirking and snickering, he held her to him, fingers working up and down her sides.&nbsp; "God I hope so.&nbsp; If mom knew or thought that you knew about the naughty side of adulthood, she'd probably die of a heart attack."&nbsp; As she squirmed onto his lap, he couldn't help but feel a twitching in his groin, her ass feeling good against him, despite her being his sister.
