Ben laughed and replied, “There’s only one of me so you’ll have to settle for second best, I guess.”
Claire shook her head and laughed too. She should have expected that response but she meant what she said, Ben was an awesome guy; too bad they were related. Claire’s statement made Ben think too. He was hoping to find a girl as pretty and down to earth as his step-sister; someone he could talk to about anything, laugh with and enjoy being around without the drama or game playing.
Things were almost back to normal with both siblings back at home for the summer. They each socialized with their friends, got together with family, and dated. When each of them had a date the other couldn’t wait for their sibling to get home so they could hear all about what happened. Most times, they wouldn’t talk until the morning after their parents went to work. Neither Ben nor Claire were shy about telling the other if they had sex with their dates and if they were any good. More often than not, the sex was okay but nothing spectacular. The one thing that did change that summer is both Ben and Claire started to get a bit jealous when the other was going on a date and especially if they had sex.
Before one of Claire’s dates, Ben half-jokingly asked, “So which loser are you going out with tonight? Please tell me it isn’t Jerry. He’s a loser if there ever was one.”
“What’s wrong with Jerry? He’s a nice guy.”
“He’s a jerk.”
Claire was a little angry at Ben for putting down her date like that but when she got home early she had to admit that Ben was right, Jerry was boring and a jerk. Ben took pride in being right and wasn’t shy about letting his sister know that she should have taken his advice.
When Ben was going on a date with Lynn, Claire wasn’t shy about letting him know that she thought Lynn wasn’t very smart and couldn’t hold a decent conversation with anyone.
When Claire said Lynn just liked to sleep around Ben replied, “Why do you think I’m going out with her? A man has needs too.”
“Oh, you’re such a man whore Ben.”
The next morning Ben admitted to Claire that Lynn wasn’t very bright but was good in bed. It got to the point when either one of them was going out on a date, the other would be critical of the other person. They didn’t think anyone was good enough for their sibling. They even introduced people to each other as part of a game. Both Ben and Claire thought they would be better at picking a date for the other person. Claire and Ben weren’t having any romantic connections anyway so they figured it couldn’t hurt. However, it also didn’t help. Neither one of them liked the person their sibling picked for them so they continued to casually date on their own.
They also continued to tease each other by letting the other see them partially or fully nude at times under the pretense of it being an accident. At breakfast when their parents weren’t home, Claire began to wear more sheer tops without being too blatant but sheer enough to show off her lovely breasts to Ben. Her t-shirts got shorter to the point where her panties weren’t even hidden anymore. Ben never acknowledged his step-sister’s new boldness but enjoyed the views of seeing her breasts, her satin-covered ass with her cheeks hanging out the side, or the sight of her pubic hair through the front of her underwear.
