“I love it,” I said, truthfully. It was thoughtful and cool. “Now I just have to figure out what all these pieces do.”
I gave her a big hug and she returned the squeeze. “Thanks,” I said.
“And thank you for being a cool brother. My island of sanity around…all this.”
Kaia joined us. “There’d better be hugs left for me,” she said. “Even though I didn’t get you two anything.”
“Of course,” I said. “What’d you think we were giving you?”
Kaia gave Avery a long hug first, then turned to me. There was a lot of full body contact, but I managed to control myself with all the family around.
Before letting go, Kaia whispered in my ear. “I’ve got a little something else for you. Later.”
I liked the sound of that. Avery gave me a look, but soon was drawn off by my parents. Kaia, likewise, had rounds to make. All in all, it was a nice Christmas morning. Hopefully, it’d be an even nicer Christmas afternoon or evening.

As it turned out, whatever Kaia’s “little something” was would have to wait until late that night. After the gift opening settled down, I helped clean up while the girls went back to New House for showers and to dress. Most of the rest of the day passed quickly — eating, assembling kids’ new toys, and mingling with the rest of the family.
Kaia had dressed up a bit, wearing a fitted red button down blouse over black leggings and yet another pair of fuzzy, festive socks. The tails of the blouse covered most of her butt, yet she’d left enough of the top buttons undone to hint at the swell of her breasts. Again, I could tell she’d passed on wearing a bra, yet it was less obvious in this particular shirt.
Avery had dressed nicely for the day as well. Her bulky sweater was a dark green that looked good against her long, sandy blond hair. The pants, however, were khaki and so tight they could have been painted on. Whether intentionally or not, she was doing a fantastic job of highlighting her best assets. And, yes, I knew I was looking more than I should have.
Following dinner and more games, things wound down pretty quickly. It had been a long, exhausting day. I was still pretty alert, though, eager for whatever Kaia might have in mind. I was hopeful she’d intended to come back up to my room after everyone else was asleep.
I was in the kitchen getting a drink when Kaia slipped up behind me, pressing her hips into my rear while wrapping her arms around me. Good thing we were alone, as it was intimate enough to have raised eyebrows. I felt her hair brush my ear as she leaned in and gave me a little kiss on the neck.
“Worried I’d forgotten?” she said.
“Nah.” It was tough just standing still, letting her hold me like that without being able to do much in return.
“Well, I’m going to get ready for bed,” she said. “It’s ten-thirty now. Why don’t you come by my room at, say, eleven? Don’t knock, just let yourself in.”
My body thrilled at the prospect. We’d have to be extremely quiet, though, whatever she had planned, since her room was adjacent to Avery’s.
“Can’t wait.”
Her hand drifted down, gave my crotch a quick pat, and then she was gone.
