Moonlight

Ten

Ten minutes later I'm curled up on Alex's bed with his arms wrapped around me from behind. He's tucked his head against mine and I can feel his warm breath on my neck.

"I'm sorry about Jason. He just can't help it, it's who he is. Thing is Daire he's been this way so long I'm scared he won't change. I just wish you didn't have to hear all that." Yes I went into Alex's bedroom and cried my heart out on his shoulder about his brother. How very classy of me.

I turn my body in his arms so I'm facing him. "Alex don't worry about it. In fact I'm more worried about you right now than what Jason does or doesn't want with me!" I bring my hand up to his face and as gently as I can stroke my fingers against the cut going through his eyebrow that's still seeping a bit of blood, to prove my point.

"I'm fine, Daire. I need to make sure he hasn't ruined anything between us, that he hasn't tainted the way you look at me!" I can hear his ragged breathing in my ear.

"Of course he hasn't. Alex he's not you, you may be twins, you may have the same genes but you are two completely different people. You are so so kind, you're amazing to me and you never ask questions when I have my little break downs you just except them. Jason is . . . He's cruel, he uses people, in fact he's a monster putting it plainly. He looks at people and finds all the ways he can break them. You aren't like each other in nature at all and for that I am so grateful because Alex you're amazing."

I look into his eyes to find him glaring at nothing but everything at the same time. He groans, untangles his arms from around me and sits up. I push myself up to balance on one arm. " What's wrong Alex? Was it something I said?"

"Yes it was! I am more like him than you could ever imagine. At times I am more of a monster than him!"

"What are you talking about? You aren't a monster Alex trust me." I move my body towards his and wrap my arms around him.

He groans and let's both of our bodies fall back against the pillows. I feel his arms wrap around my body, my head goes onto his chest and he rests his chin against the top of my head. "Daire we are all monsters, some of us just keep it hidden better than others."

The blood in my body begins to run cold. "How are you a monster?" I manage to whisper the words through my dry throat.

I feel and hear him exhale loudly. "Life changes us Daire. We start out innocent, nobody is born evil." He laughs suddenly startling me. "Wowww, the first girl to ever be in my bed and I'm giving her some morbid speech. Way to go Alex."

I let myself laugh at that and try to shake of the weird atmosphere that had crept into the room. "I wouldn't have worked that out. You put up a good show."

"What a good show of non-virginity?" I burst out laughing at that. My head bounces up and down on his chest from where he's laughing so hard.

"Oooh so you are still a virgin? You can be sure that I will use that against you at some point."

"Aha no you evil little devil." His hands drift to my sides and he proceeds to tickle me. For the second time in a hour I start to cry but this time it's from laughter.

"Nooooo! Stop. Evil bastard." My breath is coming in gasps and pants now.

"Beggggggg. Hehehe." Alex then attempts an evil laugh which causes me to somehow laugh even harder. Seeing me practically about to die from laughter, he just tickles me harder and begins to laugh his head off. I'm wiggling about so much trying to get away from his hands that eventually we both end up falling from the bed to the floor with a loud thump. I'm on my back on the floor and Alex managed to catch himself like a cat so he's on his hands and knees above me and the bed sheets are half over us.

We've gotten to that stage where the laughter is dying out and we just have the occasional chuckles. It is at about this point that I begin to realise he's practically on top of me. I think Alex realises this too as he whispers my name almost reverently, "Daire." He puts his hand on my stomach where my top has risen up. My body begins to tingle from having his bare hand on my skin. I can feel his breath on my face and I get a feeling of claustrophobia. My breathing quickens.

Is it just me or is Alex's head getting closer to mine? Oh God it is! I feel a heart attack coming on. Do I want this? Do I not want this? Wait, does he want this? Or is he just caught up in the moment? I wonder if he's as good as his brother? Fuck, no! Don't think of his brother when you're about to kiss him! Where'd that come from? Am I going to kiss him? I think I am!

I can feel Alex's big hand slowly move its way up my stomach, catching on my top, pulling it up. Every single time his pinky hits the skin on my stomach, a little gasp escapes it's way out of my mouth. I look into his almost white eyes which are already looking into mine, looking for permission to bring his head to meet mine. After a split second of hesitation I bite my lower lip, angle my head more towards his, put one of my hands at the back of his head and the other on the small of his back, pulling up his top a bit giving him all kinds of permission.

Seeing this Alex proceeds to skim his hand all the way up my stomach until he reaches the side of my face. Whilst doing this his hand roughly hits my breast, causing me to emit a tiny moan. Hearing this he bits down on his bottom lip. I want to bite that lip. I want him to bite my lip. I gasp out loud at the thought of it, at the thought of his lips touching mine.

I push Alex's top up more, feeling my way along his back muscles and the hand I have on the back of his head I put a bit of force on to push his head down to mine. He doesn't resist at all. In fact he moves his body down towards mine a bit and I can feel the heat of him against the heat of me. I move one of my legs up so its resting against his hip.

After what seems like an millennium of waiting, Alex moves his head all the way down to mine. His nose pushes against the side of mine, I can feel his breath in my mouth and finally the softness of his lips on mine. Alex begins to move his lips against mine and I respond by moving mine against his. The kiss starts off slowly but soon gets more heated as time passes.

I feel Alex begin to push his body lightly against mine and again I respond by moving mine against his. Without stopping to think about it, I pull Alex's top all the way up and begin to take it off him. He breaks the kiss for a second to pull it off fully, muscles flexing. By this point he straddling me and he rolls his hips against mine every few seconds. Once free of the top Alex moves straight back down to push his lips against mine. His hand is pushing my top up over my breasts when his door opens with a click causing us both to jump and break the kiss.

Jason stands in the doorway . . .
