"This is bullshit! You can't just leave us here alone. What about Coralina!" yelled the angry voice of John Booker Routledge. Jolting awake Coralina Routledge rolled to her back as she listened to her twin brother argue with their father.
"It's fucking Thanksgiving, Dad. Coral has a turkey, an entire dinner, and our friends are coming. You're just going to leave on some wild goose chase, again? You can't keep leaving us here for weeks at a time," she could hear her brother yell, "We're sixteen for fucks sake!"
Taking a deep breath, Coralina wiped the tears from her face before burying her head under her pillow to drown out the loud voices coming from within the house.
Her father was obsessed. He'd been searching for the shipwreck of The Royal Merchant for as long as Coral could remember. The shipwreck was rumored to have 400 million in gold aboard when it went down, off the coast of the Outerbanks, North Carolina. Over the years, Big John's obsession had cost him jobs, friends, a marriage, and now it was costing him his kids.
Throwing the pillow off her head, Coralina could hear them still arguing. Sighing, she reached for her phone. Noting the time was barely 6am she found the contact and sent a text:
Coral🐚: Hey, u awake?
Laying back she waited. "You have to disappear?" she heard John B question, "Uncle T? We barely know him and you're going to send him here to take care of us?" she heard him yell. Feeling her phone buzz she looked at her text.
Pretty boy🏄: I am now. What's up?
Coral🐚 : They're fighting again. He's leaving.
Pretty boy🏄: Wtf you're having dinner later. U want me to come?
Hearing someone outside her door Coralina shoved her phone under her blanket as her door opened slowly to reveal her father. Seeing her awake Big John smiled, "Hey Cory. I need to talk to you," he told her quietly.
Swallowing Coralina bit the inside of her cheek, "I heard. You're leaving," she stated quietly. Approaching her bed he sat down on the edge, "I have to Bug. I'm on to something and I need to chase it down," he told her, praying she'd take it better then her brother.
Nodding Coralina gave him a small smile, "I know Daddy. How long will you be gone this time?" she asked, clutching her phone that was buzzing under her blanket. "At least a month or so which means your Uncle Teddy will be coming to stay with you and your brother," he informed her, "We don't want Sheriff Peterkin to come sniffing around, again."
"Will you be back for Christmas?" she whispered. "I'm gonna try, Bug. Definitely by the new year," he assured her, "I'm sorry I'm gonna miss your dinner today, but I know it's going to be great," he told her smiling. Not trusting herself to speak Coralina simply nodded.
Rising from the bed Big John patted her shoulder, "I'll see you in a few months, Cory. I'll call in to check on you. Take care of your brother," he told her before leaving her room. Taking a deep steadying breath she blinked the tears away before pulling her phone out.
Pretty boy🏄: Coral?
Pretty boy🏄: Baby? Where did you go?
Pretty boy🏄: Coralina?! Baby, you have to answer me or I'm coming and I don't give a fuck who finds out.
Coral🐚 : I'm here. He was saying goodbye. Where are you?
Pretty boy🏄: On your porch
Coral🐚 : What are you going to tell my brother?!
Hearing the floor creak in the hallway Coralina looked up to find her brother standing in her doorway, "You okay?" he asked. "Pretty much used to it," she answered, shrugging.
"Yeah," John B sighed, "I'm gonna lay down for awhile," he told her, before turning to look down the hall, "Hey dude what are you doing here so early?"
"My dad started some shit already. Figured the door would be open. Wasn't expecting anyone to be up though. Why are you guys awake?" asked JJ Maybank, John B's best friend since the third grade.
Glancing at his sister John B motioned for JJ to turn back to the living room, "We'll go talk out here let Coralina get back to sleep," he said.
"It's okay. I don't think I'll be sleeping," Coralina said climbing from her bed, "Why don't you go lay down JB? I know you're tired. I can fill JJ in on the latest drama," she offered coming to stand in her doorway.
Yawning John B nodded, "Alright. I'll catch up with you in a few hours, man," John B said as he and JJ did their bro handshake before he disappeared into his room shutting his door.
Biting her lip Coralina pressed her ear to her brother's door. Hearing the bed creak under his weight she turned and rushed down the small hallway throwing her arms around JJ, "You didn't need to come," she whispered.
"Of course I did," he replied, wrapping his arms around her, "You want to go out to the sofa bed?" he asked. Pulling away from him she shook her head, "No, let's go lay in my bed," she told him.
"Are you trying to get my balls shot off?" he asked, following behind her. Giggling Coralina quietly shut her door, "We've shared a bed before, JJ," she replied. "Yeah when we were like ten. John B isn't going to like me in bed with you, Coral," he stated.
"John B's not gonna like a lot of things his best friends been doing to his sister lately" she told him giggling, as they climbed into her bed, "Would it be so horrible for him to know?" she questioned. "Well considering as soon as you got boobs he literally threatened to chop my dick off if I ever made a move, yeah I think it would be horrible," JJ responded.
Smiling Coral leaned over kissing him, "Well I do love your dick so I guess we'll have to keep this our secret for a bit longer," she told him winking, as he laughed quietly. Wrapping his arms around her Coral curled up next to him, "Where did he go this time?" JJ asked.
"I don't know. He didn't say just that he was chasing something down," she answered him. Slowly stroking her hair JJ sighed, "He's got pretty shitty timing. Seriously, he couldn't wait a day till after the holiday?"
"Well considering he wasn't here for our birthday last month I doubt the holiday even registered to him," she murmured against his neck, "You know if you would've waited I could've come to you and you could be making me forget all about this right about now," she whispered, before kissing his neck.
Humming JJ rolled her underneath him as he settled between her thighs, "How quiet can you be?" he questioned. "For you? I'll be a little church mouse," she whispered. Snorting JJ pulled her t-shirt over her head revealing her bare breasts to him, "We'll see about that," he muttered, before taking one of her breasts into his mouth.
Arching up off the bed, Coralina wrapped her legs around his waist as she ground up into him. Cupping her other breast he kneaded it as his mouth sucked the other leaving small purple bruises. Needing to feel his skin she grabbed the back of his t-shirt and pulled it up and over his head, before attaching her lips to his neck.
Moaning as his hand trailed down to the top of her pajama pants she thrust up against his erection. Smiling when she heard him moan, she wedged her hands between them to work his belt buckle loose, "Take them off," she mumbled.
Sitting back on his knees JJ stripped down before pulling her pants and underwear off. Before she could make a sound his face was buried between her thighs as he gave her one slow lick, "Oh god," she gasped, threading her fingers in his hair.
Rocking against his tongue, she nearly shot off the bed when his thumb came in contact with her clit. As he worked a figure eight with his left thumb he spread her legs wider before using his right hand and inserting a finger. Whining she ground down on him as another finger joined.
As he set a pace with his fingers she met his thrusts, pulling her pillow over her face when he curled his fingers hitting the perfect spot. Feeling her orgasm building she rocked faster until she exploded. Coming down from her high Coralina took deep breaths as she removed the pillow from her face.
Seeing JJ's cocky smile she narrowed her eyes as she sat up, "You look like you could use some help with that," she whispered, looking down at his rock hard dick. "If you're offering, Babygirl," he told her as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
Before he knew it she'd pushed him to his back and had lowered herself onto him. Groaning at the feeling of his dick having no barrier inside of her JJ was left breathless, "Baby, we need a condom," he reminded her. Groaning as she slid herself to the tip of him and then slid back down till she bottomed out, Coralina shook her head.
"I've been on the pill for over a month. It's working now and I really want to feel just you," she told him sliding up and down again. "Fuck, I don't know how long I'm gonna last. I've never done it like this and you feel incredible," he moaned.
"Well allow me to enjoy my ride then," she whispered into his ear before sitting back up. Placing her hands on his chest she set a brisk pace of bouncing on his dick. "Oh fuck Coral," he growled out as he leaned up to flick his tongue over her nipple.
"JJ, I'm gonna come again already," she whined, feeling the tell tale signs of her orgasm. Shoving his hand between them his thumb slid once over her clit before her walls clenched around him. As she milked him he felt himself explode inside of her. "Oh god, I can feel it. It's warm," she murmured against his chest where she'd collapsed.
Climbing off of him Coralina grabbed a towel from the hamper and wiped them clean, "I think I can sleep now," she giggled, kissing him, as she threw the towel back in the hamper. "We should probably do that dressed," he replied, sliding his pants back on.
Once they had most of their clothes back on the two curled up under the covers where Coralina promptly fell asleep. Stroking her hair JJ sighed as he thought about taking the steps to tell his best friend about what was going on between him and his sister. They'd been sneaking around for the past two months and everyday JJ was waiting for Coralina to tell him it was all a mistake. Instead she'd been the first to mention telling her brother.
No one was more surprised when Coralina had dragged him away from the end of summer party at the Boneyard and had first kissed him. They were both drunk and high at the time, but JJ still knew what was what and had quickly pulled away from her wide-eyed, "What was that, Coral?" he had questioned.
She had simply wrapped her arms around his neck smiling, "Our secret," she told him, winking before kissing him again, "My dad left this morning. We can go back to the Chateau," she'd proposed, referring to what they called her home. Heart racing JJ had pulled back and kept her at arm's length, "Coral what is going on in that head of yours?" he'd asked.
Sighing she'd looked up at him biting her lip, "You're one of my best friends, JJ. You've been there for literally every awkward phase of my life and I want you to help me through this one. Look right now I need a distraction and I think going back to my house and losing my virginity to my best friend is quite a distraction," she told him. Furrowing his brow JJ asked how much she'd had to drink.
Stomping her foot Coralina shook her head, "I'm not drunk. I know what I'm saying and what I want and I want to go back to my house with you," she stated. When he didn't say anything and just continued to stare at her she rolled her eyes, "Fine I'll find someone else," she decided, turning to walk away.
Making a decision that would ultimately change their relationship forever JJ had reached out and stopped her, "No," and with that simple act he found himself in her bedroom exploring the body of one of his best friends. Afterwards he just figured they'd go back to normal, but she'd wanted to continue and when it happened again and again he knew he was in too deep to get out.
