Aetheria

Chapter 1 - Arrival

“Ground control to Major Thom… Come in, Major Thom.”

“This is Major Thom. HTS-X71JC requesting permission to enter orbit. Please confirm.”

“Request confirmed and approved. Course seven Delta eight,” After a short pause, the voice continued, “Welcome to the party, Zephyr. Ground control out.”

I listened to all of this, but it hardly registered. The sounds were muffled, and I was starting to wake up. My stomach was protesting, and I felt like I had been run over by a dump truck.

I opened my eyes and immediately squinted because of the bright lights. I felt disoriented but quickly realized I was lying inside my suspension pod. We boarded the ship four weeks ago, got in our suspension pods, and headed toward our destination, the planet Aetheria. Thanks to our MPD, four weeks of sus had gotten us almost halfway across the Milky Way.

Waking up from four weeks of hibernation felt like riding a roller coaster over and over again. I sighed deeply, pressed the red button, and with a loud hiss, the transparent door above me moved upward and out of the way. I sat up straight, and as I felt my head to make sure it was still on my shoulders since it didn’t feel that way at the moment, I saw my twin sister sit up straight next to me.

Nadia smiled weakly at me and said, “That was fun, right?”

I could only nod as I swallowed down another gag reflex, struggling not to throw up. It was close, but I managed to keep it all inside. I was trying to get myself together when my brother Ethan floated by in his boxer briefs. I was also dressed in just my underwear since it was the most comfortable way to go in suspension, but I had no intention of prancing around in just my undies.

At eighteen, my brother looked like everything I hoped to look like one day. He had a nice tan, a muscular chest, and a decent bulge in his underwear.

As I checked him out, he said, “Hey Dad, you want me to turn on the gravity? Everyone is waking up, so…”

“You’re right. Sorry, I forgot. The ship got me out of sus ahead of schedule. The approach was a bit messy due to that new asteroid belt. But yeah… go ahead.”

Ethan braced himself and pushed a button on the console. Slowly but steadily, the round portion with the passenger cabins started spinning. My stomach started calming down as my ass was pressed firmer into the sus pod, and gravity returned to normal.

Because our dad was the Major and main pilot of the ship, our cabin was the biggest because it doubled as the ship’s bridge. I saw a few of the other cabins through the windows, and lights started to switch on inside these.

“Hi, Hon. You okay?” Mom said as she walked up to us.

“Aidan looks just like how I feel,” my sister said glumly beside me.

“It’ll wear off in a few minutes. Get dressed so we can eat something before we load up the landers.”

My sister Nadia got up, and I knew I just had to look. Over the last few months, I started noticing how she was filling out in all the right places.

She was wearing a crop top, and her small boobs looked absolutely fabulous in it. She got to her feet, and as she got out, she gave me an unobstructed view of her round ass in that white with red stripes bikini-styled undies.

I felt my dick was starting to grow hard inside my underwear, which snapped me out of my trance. I shouldn’t think of her like this! She was my twin sister, damnit! I needed to look after her instead of perving over her.

Ever since we started puberty, I got more and more interested in her body. I read and saw a couple of clips online in the Flin, stating that it probably had something to do with my own hormones waking up. We were exactly thirteen-and-a-half on the day we left Earth, so this wasn’t far-fetched.

But still… I was still a bit boyish, with just a small and sparse patch of pubes above my three-and-a-half-inch soft dick. I was kind of proud of my five-and-a-half inches when I was hard. When I sprang a boner, it was rock-hard, virtually unbendable, and thicker than you’d expect. My Dad’s genes must be the cause of that because when Ethan showed me how to jack off about a year ago, I immediately noticed how thick he was, too.

My muscles were starting to show, though. I was glad about that because I had spent almost all my allowance on that new software that helped me to build muscles with that new electro-suit Ethan let me borrow. A hint of my six-pack was showing, and my pecs were now noticeably more pronounced than before I started. So yeah… I was getting there.

I needed to focus on something else before embarrassing myself in front of my entire family. So I let my eyes drift upward and checked out my sister’s hair. She was just as blonde as I was, and her hair was also just as short as mine, just styled differently. Pretty much all women who went into space wore their hair short, and Mom and Nadia were no different.

The suspension pods were against the wall on the left side of our cabin. To my right, there were the control panels that controlled the ship. Dad and Ethan were there currently checking everything, and I didn’t want to interfere with that. Ethan was still in his black boxers, whereas Dad was already in his uniform. In front of me was the living room, although calling it that was a bit of a stretch. It had a table, chairs, and a big screen. But since we would hardly use it, I didn’t mind too much.

The toilet and the door to the rest of the ship were to my left. Everything was in bright white with lots of indirect lighting, and they managed to make it feel cozy despite the minimalistic look.

By taking my mind off my sister this way, I managed to steer clear from a full-blown boner and was glad it was heading down. I was only chubbed up a little by now, but that wouldn’t hurt anyone.

As Nadia pulled down her shirt, I got to my feet. She turned around and smiled at me. For a brief moment, her eyes went down to my crotch, and she openly checked me out. She didn’t seem bothered by it, but it made me feel insecure and awkward. She was a lot more open than I was, which I blamed on my stupid feelings for her.

Nadia looked me in the eye, “Looking good, Bro,” she said as if it was the most normal thing to say.

“Uhm…” was all I could say as I quickly reached for my pants.

“That new app does what it promises.”

“Oh… that… Yeah. I’m glad it’s worth the money. Sure cost me enough.”

We both pulled up our pants, “Hungry?” she asked.

“Nah. But I know we need to eat after sus. You?”

“Same,” she frowned, “I just hope there are more kids our age down there. Dad was pretty vague about that, and I… you know…”

“We’ll see. I think we’re fine,” I said, trying to be blasé about it, hiding my mixed feelings. I was a bit scared that we were the only teens here because it would mean we’d have no friends our age. But deep down, I also hoped we would be the only ones. If another boy were there, he might take Nadia away from me, and I couldn’t…

No! She’s my sister! She isn’t my lover, girlfriend, or anything. It’s stupid to feel this way!

But even so, I still need to protect her! I’m the one who almost killed her, and I promised myself to always look after her. Well… it wasn’t my fault I almost killed her, but still. When Mom was in the hospital, and it was time for us to be born, it turned out that my umbilical cord was around my sister’s neck. And it had been like that for a while.

Because of that, Nadia barely made it and had to stay in the hospital for months to regain her strength. And she was treated for all the complications that came with it until she was around eight years old. When I found out what had happened, I felt guilty as hell. Despite Mom and Dad repeatedly stressing that I had nothing to do with it and that it was just nature’s mistake, I couldn’t shed the thought that I should’ve taken better care of my sister.

Mom even had a talk with me after Nadia was no longer being treated and was declared completely healthy. She told me that I should stop being so protective and that I should look more after myself. She even made me promise to leave her alone for three days in a row. This helped a little. During these days, I learned that Nadia was okay and didn’t need me as her bodyguard.

After a while, things got better, and she started living her own life. But deep inside, I couldn’t get rid of the feelings that she needed my protection. Mom knew this, but she didn’t say anything about it. Nadia was oblivious and just saw me as her twin brother, who was always there for her.

“Breakfast is ready!” Mom announced cheerfully, snapping me out of my trance.

I quickly grabbed my shirt and pulled it down as I sat down at the table. Moments later, I was joined by the rest of the family. Mom looked at us and said, “Guys, I’m so glad we’re doing this as a family! I’m…”

She sniffed, and Dad squeezed her hand. He looked at us and said, “She’s right! The Wilsons stick together! Right!?”

“Right!” Nadia and I said.

“And Ethan?” Dad said, looking at my brother, “PLEASE! Put on a shirt! You make me feel old and saggy!”

We started laughing and ate breakfast just like we would back on Earth. But the view here was a lot different than on Earth.

* * *

“All one hundred and ninety-six souls on board are accounted for and came out of suspension,” Dad said through the microphone. “In sixty minutes, the transporters will start bringing people down to the planet. Be prepared, please. Major Thom out.”

Dad turned around in his chair and looked at us. He smiled broadly, looked around, and said, “Nobody needed to manually be retrieved from sus. These ships are getting better and better!”

Yeah…” Ethan responded, “I also checked the logs, and this new autopilot didn’t fall back to one of the backup systems even once.”

“Get ready, you two,” Mom said while checking out our pods.

“In about an hour, it’s just the skeleton crew left up here, and for the first time we’ll see our new home for the coming few years!” Dad said excitedly.

“Yay!” Nadia said in that typical bratty tone only teenage girls can.

“Don’t do this, honey! We’ve been over this a lot. Try to embrace this new life,” Mom replied, clearly doing her best to stay calm.

“I’m sorry…” Nadia said, “I’m just scared, I guess.”

“Scared about what?”

“That this planet sucks, that our new home sucks, that there’s nobody down there that I like, that… just everything.”

“We’re all afraid of the unknown. But sometimes great things come to those who take that leap of faith, you know?”

“I know… but still…”

Mom hugged her and said, “I know, Honey. But we’re here as a family. And the Wilsons stick together, right?”

This brought a smile to her face, and she nodded at Mom. Next, Nadia looked at me and said, “Wanna go to the docks and check out the transporters?”

“Sure!” I said, glad to see her smile again.

“Take your travel bags with you. We’ll also be there in a minute because Dad has to be in the first transporter.”

We grabbed our bags from the storage closet and entered the corridor connecting the cabins. Because of the circular build of the living quarters and the way it generated gravity, you felt like you had to walk up a hill, no matter which way you went.

But we had our safety training and extensive briefing before we boarded, so we knew how it worked. This training also helped us find our way around the ship quite well, so we reached the ladder that led to the docks quickly enough.

“Prepare for zero gravity,” Nadia smiled as she slid down the ladder.

“Bring it on!” I laughed as I got in right behind her.

Of course, we’ve both been weightless before a couple of times. But during my first time, I felt sick and had to throw up. Nadia kept teasing me about this, but it was all good fun, and I knew she was also close to hurling the first time.

As we floated through the ship toward the docks, we saw a couple of our fellow passengers, but all of them were much older than us. There were a few boys and one girl, but they were much closer to Ethan than to us. We greeted each other politely, but it still felt like we were among strangers. Dad told us this would wear off but that it would take time.

Combined with this crew, the planet’s population would be just under two thousand. That’s as big as a small village but still small enough for everybody to know each other. The transporters would take us to the main base, which had pretty much everything we’d need. It had a large mess and even a small store where you could buy all sorts of stuff, from clothes to food and from books to batteries.

About five years ago, the first crew landed on the planet. At that time, the automated building bots had built two smaller bases. But when more people were needed to keep the operation going and expand, these old bases were abandoned and only used to monitor and operate the terraforming equipment. As the new main base grew, people gradually moved to the new base. The building bots were still building and expanding every minute of every day, but it was fully operational at its core.

“There’s Rory,” Nadia said, pointing at someone loading one of the transporters.

Rory was one of Ethan’s friends and would go and work in the maintenance team with our brother.

“Hey, guys! Ready for the drop?”

“Yeah!” Nadia said excitedly.

“I guess,” I said, trying to act cool around him, but I hardly couldn’t wait to see the actual planet up close.

He continued loading up the transporters, our cue to move along. Nadia and I explored the dock, but there wasn’t anything interesting.

“Let’s check out the tanks,” I said as we passed the door to the ship’s garage for the second time. Behind the garage was the entrance to the hold.

I opened the door to the garage and almost jumped out of my shoes when I bumped into someone.

“Oh. Hey, guys!” she said in a friendly tone.

I recognized her right away. She was one of Mom’s friends, but I didn’t remember her name. I knew she was in charge of all the equipment we carried, which made sense as to why she was here.

“Hi! We wanna check out the tanks. Is that okay?”

“Sure. You know the way, right?”

“Yeah. It’s through there,” I said as I pointed toward the end of the garage.

“Later,” Nadia said as she smiled warmly.

As we floated toward the door to the hold, we passed several vehicles. There were giant excavators, a couple of big tanker trucks, a few boats, lots of human transporters, and some more we couldn’t see properly because they were too far away.

All vehicles, except for the few light, flying ones, of course, had big, tractor-like wheels and were all fuel-cell-powered. I was told that the star’s light this planet was orbiting was only mildly effective on our solar panels.

We passed two small buggies that seemed completely out of place here. “There’s the door,” Nadia said and pressed the unlock button on the panel beside it.

We looked at each other, smiled, and entered the hold. After we closed the door behind us, we floated through a small hallway. The HTS-X71JC, or Zephyr as we called her, was a huge freighter ship. When we entered the hold, it was immediately apparent why it was in the biggest class of ships.

The hold housed two rows of eight tanks. These tanks were about hundred and fifty feet high and had a diameter of roughly fifty feet. They were absolutely massive. But there were only guidance lights near the edges of the hold, and from where we were now, you could hardly make out half of the hold, and the sheer size of it was already overwhelming.

“HELLO!!!” Nadia shouted, but all we heard was the echoing of her voice.

In the dim glow of the guidance lights, we could only see the silhouette of the first two tanks. I was about to go further into the hold when Nadia floated past me and giggled, “Too slow, Bro!”

We explored the giant hold together and even played a short but silly game of tag. It was fun to act like little kids together, even in the somewhat spooky surroundings of the hold. We were just killing time, so when our coms beeped, we immediately headed back to the transporters, both hyped to go down.

* * *

“All buckled up?” the pilot asked.

Dad sat next to the pilot and looked back at Nadia and me. I wasn’t going to admit it, but my heart was beating in my throat. Dad nodded toward my belt, and I pulled at it to show him I was strapped in.

I glanced over at my sister, and as the pilot started counting down, she looked nervously at me and grabbed my hand.

“Two… One… GO!!!”

At that moment, the boosters ignited, and we were pressed hard into our seats. The nose of the transporter tilted down, and we could clearly see the planet through the front windows. Nadia had her window seat, but she only looked at the floor.

“Entering the atmosphere!” the pilot said.

Dad looked back, and he said, “Be prepared. The entrance will be bumpy. But it’ll be more like a regular flight back on Earth after about a minute.”

I heard some mumbling from the people behind us, but Dad had already warned us about this, so we knew what was coming. I looked at Nadia and squeezed her hand.

After about a minute of violent movement and some words between Dad and the pilot, the ship suddenly stopped shaking, and it felt like we were on a floating boat on a quiet lake. The suddenness of this was what surprised me most.

I glanced over at Nadia, and after she tore her eyes from the floor, she looked at me. I pointed outside and said, “Look! That’s Zuckerberg Mountain! The highest mountain on the planet.”

Nadia turned her head to look, and I was glad I calmed her down a little. “Twice the height of Mount Everest, right?”

“Yeah. Almost.”

“Cool. I wonder if anyone is ever going to climb that one…”

“Dunno. Maybe after there’s enough oxygen in the atmosphere…”

“Zephyr transport one approaching. Please confirm!” the pilot said.

Dad pressed some buttons on the control panel, and after a couple of seconds, the pilot said, “Roger. Docking at bay twelve.”

As Nadia and I looked out the window and checked out the main complex, Nadia said what I thought.

“It looks pretty small, don’t you think?”

That’s what I was thinking. “Yeah. I expected it to be bigger.”

“Maybe there’s a lot underground?”

“Dunno. I guess…”

The ship made a sharp turn, and we saw the base come closer and closer. A couple of moments later, we felt a small bump as we touched down. “Welcome to Aetheria, everyone!” the pilot announced.

I smiled broadly as I looked at Nadia. As the door of the transporter opened, I thought back to the moment a little over a year ago when this all started.

Chapter 2 – The incident

We were sitting at the dinner table and had just finished dessert. Mom insisted on one day of the week when we’d eat dinner together, and this was it for this week.

I was ready to get up and help clear the table when Dad said, “Mom and I have an announcement.”

I checked him out to see if he was joking, but judging by his serious face, he wasn’t. Far from it, actually. Judging by Mom’s face, this was going to be big.

“I’ve been asked to lead a new mission,” Dad started.

“Bisque!” Ethan said, “How long will you be gone?”

Ethan has wanted to be in space travel ever since he left high school. During a career event at school where companies showed what they did, he was captivated by a presentation by the EEV, short for ExoTerra Engineering Ventures.

“Well… that’s the thing…” Dad said, looking at Mom.

Judging by how this was going, I was right. This was going to be BIG! So I glanced at Nadia, and she seemed to be just as curious and tense as I was.

“The army was asked to lead a mission to Aetheria. And when the colonel asked me, I initially said no, but…” Dad said but was interrupted by Ethan.

“Isn’t that the eleventh planet they inhabited?”

“The twelfth, actually,” Dad said and looked excitedly at us, “So now we’re finally gaining on China again. About a year ago, they started terraforming. It’s a pretty exciting planet because it has the best chance of being almost exactly like Earth. Right now, the atmosphere is only breathable for about five minutes, but they calculated that after a decade, its atmosphere will be exactly like the Earth’s.”

“And the gravity is very close to Earth’s,” Mom added. “There will be lots of drinkable water and two moons that create tides much like we know here. Oh! And a star that’s a lot like our sun.”

“So… you’re leaving us to live over there?” Nadia asked with a sarcastic undertone in her voice.

“No, no!! Of course not!” Dad said, and with a calmer voice, he added, “Your mother and I talked about this, and we think we should all go… as a family.”

“YES!” Ethan exclaimed.

But at the same time, Nadia thundered, “WHAT!?”

“I know it’s a bit unexpected, and we need to talk about this. But they need a high-ranking officer there to monitor and coordinate the extraction of Solispirillum for a longer period of time,” Dad said apologetically.

The wheels inside my head were turning as I was digesting this. In the silence that followed, I asked, “What’s a long period of time?”

Dad cleared his throat, looked at Mom, and said, “At least five years. But they asked me to stay there for ten years.”

“Fucking hell..” Nadia mumbled beside me.

I knew Mom must’ve heard her, and judging by her stern look at my sister, she did. But she didn’t say or do anything, which surprised me.

“Look…” Dad said and looked directly at Nadia, “I know it’s a lot to handle. And I know you have to leave your friends behind. But look at the bright side! We’ll be the first family to inhabit that planet. We’ll be among the first five K! You know how the colonists on the other planets did.”

“I’ll be assisting with setting up the medical facilities there. And with your father’s rank, we’ll have enough influence to ensure you guys have a great future there. If I’m honest, that’s the main reason why I think we should do this.”

“But…” Nadia started.

“We’ll never find a decent house here on Earth,” Ethan interrupted her.

I knew he was biased because all he wanted was to go into space. But his face looked dead serious now.

“Why do you think I want to join the army or work at EEV? It’s not just about the thrill of being out there! I see some of my friends work their asses off and still live with their parents. The uninhabitable zone around the equator only expands, and I don’t think the Second Civil War did anything good for us. So why stay?”

This triggered something in Nadia’s head. Because her stubborn look faded into one of realization. She didn’t say anything, but I knew my twin sister well enough to know what was going on now.

“Let’s all sleep on this for a few nights, okay?” Dad said, “We’ll talk about it again in a couple of days, so we all have time to think about it. I want all of us to go, or we won’t go at all.

I nodded silently, got up, and went upstairs. As I walked up the stairs, I saw Mom and Nadia hug each other. This was a lot to process, and as I flopped down on my bed, my brain was doing overtime. I was already working out the pros and cons, and as I heard Ethan enter his room across the hall, I knew I needed to talk to him about this.

But I didn’t want to rush over to him. I needed to give it some time. I sighed deeply, and as I laid my arms above my head, I smelled my pits. Maybe a shower would take my mind off of this. After checking for hairs in my pits and being disappointed to find none, I got up, grabbed a clean pair of boxers, and headed to the bathroom.

After I undressed, I checked if I had more hair above my willie. Maybe it was my imagination, but I thought that I could see that more hairs had grown. I was thrilled! It still wasn’t much and nowhere near a full bush, and still no hairs whatsoever on my shriveled sack, but the small patch above my growing willie made me proud.

As I turned on the shower, the beep indicated the maximum of four minutes of shower time had started. After the energy crisis of the sixties, there were strict regulations on energy usage. I didn’t mind too much. In four minutes, I could do everything I needed to do.

As I was finishing washing up, I cleaned my dick as I always did, but recently it grew stiff in my fingers as I slid my hand up and down on it to get it nice and clean. And this time was no different.

It was a nice feeling, but I couldn’t find a single article about this online in the FLiN about this, so I didn’t manage to connect the dots in any way at this time.

The beep indicating that I had thirty seconds left started, so I quickly rinsed off and was finished right before the water turned cold. I grabbed my towel, and my stiff dick bobbed up and down as I got out.

I threw the towel over my head and started drying my hair and cleaning my ears, then took the towel from my head, ready to dry my back.

The moment I lay the towel over my shoulders, my heart stopped.

I was facing the door, drying off. And there, with the door handle still in her hand, stood my sister. She looked wide-eyed at my hard willie, with her mouth slightly open.

It was as if time froze. I felt my heart beat a mile a minute. My dick twitched and grew harder than it had ever done before. My hands were on both ends of the towel, and I couldn’t move even if my life depended on it. It was as if some spell turned me into a statue.

But Nadia didn’t move either. She just kept staring at my dick as if she was also in a trance. This seemed to last for hours, but it was probably just a few seconds. Nadia’s eyes slowly moved upward over my belly and chest until they locked on mine. We stared at each other momentarily when she opened her mouth and stammered, “Grph…”

Next, she cleared her throat and said, “I’m… I’m sorry. I… I didn’t know you were in here… I…”

Her eyes moved to my hard dick again, and I said, “I uhm… I just…”

At that moment, I could move again. I lifted the towel from my neck and moved it down. She kept staring at my willie, but when my towel obscured the view, she snapped out of it, looked at the floor, and turned around.

“Just knock on my door when you’re done here so I know I can take my shower,” she said softly as she closed the door behind her.

I was SO embarrassed at that moment. My sister and I used to bathe together when we were younger, so we knew that I had a penis and she had a vagina. But after we turned six or seven, we never saw the other one naked again. Today was the very first time that someone saw me hard, and it was my damn sister!

What should I do now? Be mad at her? Forget that this ever happened? Apologize? All sorts of feelings were shooting through me at that moment. It was all so overwhelming that my willie shriveled down to its normal proportions in a heartbeat.

I dried myself, and after I pulled up my boxers, I took a deep breath and walked over to my sister’s room. It wasn’t that uncommon for her to see me in my underwear, and after what she saw minutes ago, I was actually decent. I tentatively knocked on her door and headed to my room when her door opened.

She was in a short T-shirt and panties, also not uncommon, looked at me apologetically, and said, “I’m sorry, you know… I thought nobody was in there. I knocked, and you didn’t respond, so…”

“I uhm… It’s okay, I guess. You didn’t do it on purpose, so…” I stammered, and a blush spread across my face and upper chest.

“No! It was an accident, and I’m sorry! I really am!”

“I’ll make sure to lock the door next time,” I said with a weak smile.

Nadia smiled, too. After an awkward silence, she raised an eyebrow at me.

“It, uhm…you did grow a lot, didn’t you? I mean… since we bathed…”

“Oh! Dunno. I guess so… didn’t measure it,” I lied.

“I… I didn’t expect you in there like that,” Nadia said, clearly uncomfortable. “Uhm… you look nice, you know?” Nadia said, clearly uncomfortable.

I wasn’t sure if she was trying to put me at ease and was lying to me or if she genuinely thought I looked good, but it boosted my ego, nevertheless.

My eyes landed on the tiny bumps on her T-shirt where her boobs had started growing, and I felt a new stir in my boxers. Before this got out of hand, I mumbled, “The, uhm… the shower is free.”

“Right! I’ll get my stuff,” Nadia said and turned around.

My eyes landed on her tight, round ass, and the stir was now more than just a stir. I quickly turned around so she wouldn’t see my growing boner, entered my room, and flopped onto the bed again.

“Bisque!” I whispered, “ What was that?”

I lay my arm over my eyes so I could think better. But immediately, images of Nadia staring at my boner and her growing boobs flashed before my eyes. My dick was now rock hard and twitching inside my underwear.

I tried looking up what I should do and what this all meant online in the FLiN. But ever since a Chinese company bought Meta and all the other big tech companies, the FLiN became hugely censored. According to my history teacher, the takeovers initially led to significant protests. Still, once all the Christian, conservative, and even some liberal organizations became aware of the options to ban information from the FLiN and the power that came with it, these protests died down quickly.

Now, there wasn’t any nudity, not even an accidental nipple slip, no info on abortion, or anything even remotely related to sex-ed material online. Everything that looked like someone could be offended by it was taken offline by the algorithms. Even mentioning how the FLiN used to look was technically not allowed for my teacher. But he was a great guy and a bit of a rebel, so he said he didn’t care about that.

But this lack of information didn’t help me. I didn’t know what to do about these boners. Was it normal? Did I need to do something about it? And if yes, what then!? Talking to Mom or Dad about it wasn’t an option. She’d act all understanding and caring about it but would only dance in circles around the hot potato. And Dad would be too embarrassed to talk about it and send me to Mom.

And I knew that my friends in school were in the same boat. During some secretive sessions where we’d only whisper to each other, I learned that some of my friends liked to look at the developing boobs of our classmates too. And they’d also get ‘the pressure in their pants’ as we called it. But none of them had a clue what it meant or what to do about it. We didn’t even know if it was harmful or not. But since most of us admitted we had the same issues, I figured we were probably safe. But I was running out of options to figure out what it meant or what to do about it. Unless…

The other day, Ethan walked through the hallway toward his room after his shower. I was doing my homework, and my door was open, so I could see him hurry to his room. He was in his boxers as he always was, and I hardly gave him a second look. I did notice his muscles were growing, and I was a little jealous about that, so I tried not to look.

But after he entered his room, it dawned on me that the front of his boxers was way fuller than usual. I didn’t think much of it back then, but lying on my bed like this, it was like I had an epiphany. He had a boner, too!

Maybe Ethan knew what this meant. But could I ask him about this? Would he even talk to me, his little brother, about such a private matter? Maybe if I played my cards right, he wouldn’t talk to Mom or Dad about this if he wasn’t allowed to speak about it.

My curiosity was so high by now that I just had to act! And Ethan was by far my best chance. Mom and Dad would leave us alone to think about everything, so now was as good a time as any. I put on a T-shirt, pulled up a pair of sweats, and crossed the hallway. I softly knocked on his door and waited.

Ethan opened the door and was only wearing his black boxers. I quickly glanced at my sixteen, almost seventeen-year-old brother’s body and wished I looked more like him. Maybe I should buy that app and ask Ethan if I could use his body suit…

“Sup?” Ethan asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Uhm… can we talk?”

Ethan looked puzzled at me and said, “Sure! Shoot.”

“I mean… just the two of us?” I said and looked at my sister’s door, which was slightly open.

“Sure. You wanna talk about Aetheria? Or maybe girl trouble?” he smirked as he stepped aside to let me in.

I entered his room and saw his VR body suit hanging over his chair. As I looked at it, Ethan sat on his bed and just looked at me. I didn’t really know how to bring it up, but I was glad he wasn’t pressing. So, I decided to ask about leaving Earth first.

“I don’t know what to think about Aetheria. I mean… I like the idea of being among the first five K and the idea of living there on a new planet with lots of space, but…”

“But you have to leave everything you know behind,” Ethan added.

“Yeah! I know what I’ve got here. I don’t know how it’ll be over there. What if I don’t like most of the first five K? What if the planet sucks?”

I fell silent for a moment and felt Ethan’s eyes on me. Then he said, “But what if it doesn’t?”

I looked up at him, saw his warm smile, and knew he was right. This was about taking chances, just as Mom said.

“It’s by far the best spot we found so far. And we’re being asked to go there. If things keep going the way they’re going now here, we should be grateful for the opportunity to get out of here, and grab it with both hands! That’s how I see it, at least,” he said, put a hand on my shoulder, and pulled me toward him to hug me brotherly.

“Didn’t look at it that way,” I softly said.

We were quiet for a minute, lost in our thoughts, when Ethan asked with a chuckle, “And what about the girl trouble?”

Immediately, a blush spread across my face. It was a good thing Ethan couldn’t see me. But chickening out now would be beyond stupid. So I sat up straight and looked at my big brother.

I gathered my courage, cleared my throat, and said, “I uhm… I wanna ask you since you’re also a boy and stuff…” I managed to stammer.

The look on Ethan’s face morphed into a sly smile, but he didn’t say or do anything. So I cleared my throat again and continued, “I… do you know why I, uhm…”

I sighed deeply, and Ethan said, “Just spit it out, Dude…”

“Do you also get a lot of boners, or is something wrong with me? And do you also like looking at boobs and get hard when you see them? And when I’m in the shower cleaning myself, I always get one too!” I managed to blurt out without breathing or pausing.

His smile vanished, and he looked surprised. I probably caught him a little off guard with my question, and he shifted uncomfortably on his bed.

“I thought you needed advice with a girl or something…” he said softly but kept looking at me.

“No! Girls in my class are stupid!” I said and looked at my feet. I took a deep breath, and since everything was on the table already, kept blabbering, “It’s… I just don’t know why I get stiff in the shower, or during the ride home, or in class, or… anywhere!” my voice sounding annoyed as I said this.

My face was beet red as I said this. I didn’t have to look in the mirror to check. I was flushed and embarrassed to talk to my brother about this. But what he did next surprised me and was comforting at the same time.

Ethan grabbed me by my shoulders, pulled me close, and just hugged me. He softly said, “Don’t worry, Bro! I know exactly what you mean, and you don’t have to be ashamed about this. You’re lucky you’ve got a big brother to help you. I had to figure it out on my own.”

It was nice to be pressed against his tight, muscular chest. But as his words entered my brain, I looked up at him and asked, “Really? You know what it is? And… how to get rid of it?”

Ethan chuckled, let go of me, and sat back straight. He absentmindedly rubbed his fingers over his six-pack as he looked thoughtfully at the floor.

“About boners…” he started, and I could see movement in his boxers in the corner of my eye, but I forced myself to keep looking into his eyes.

“I know you don’t wanna talk to Mom or Dad about this. I know I sure didn’t when I was figuring this out.”

“Mom will try to be supportive and understanding, but she won’t say anything that can help me. And Dad…” I said, sounding angrier than I meant to.

“Right. Thankfully, I could talk to Rory about this. He has an older brother who taught him a thing or two. And I’m glad I can be that older brother now,” Ethan said and punched me softly on my shoulder.

I smiled weakly but was already more at ease with the situation because of how Ethan reacted. And he was about to teach me something important, so I was all ears.

He cleared his throat and said, “It’s… uhm… you, and of course, your body is growing up. And how nature works is that you can make children after a certain age. That way, the human species can live on.”

This explanation came way out of left field. I didn’t expect any of this at all. So, I looked at him, and I must’ve looked hilarious because Ethan started laughing at me in my face.

“I’m sorry, Ay! But you look just like how I felt when I first heard this!”

“You’re shitting me…” I said, feeling a million kinds of stupid, and got to my feet.

“No, no! Absolutely not! But I couldn’t help myself when I looked at you. Sit down, please!” Ethan said, and he looked serious enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. And besides, he seemed to have the info I wanted so much.

So I sat back down, and Ethan continued, “Like I said, nature needs to be sure your body is ready to reproduce. There’s no nicer way to say it. And as you grow up, your body does all sorts of checks to make sure things are okay.”

“How do I do that?” I asked.

“Do what?”

“Repruc… reproduce? Do I really have to push my willie into a girl?”

“Yes. That’s it. Well… not just anywhere into a girl,” he said, thinking for a second, “Uhm… you’ve seen Nadia when you two were younger, right?”

“Yeah…” I said with a bit of hesitation, curious about where this was going.

“Good. Then you must’ve noticed that she had a slit where your willie is, right?”

I could only nod as I pictured my sister’s slit in my head. Back then, it didn’t mean anything to me, but now that I formed a picture of it in my head, I felt a bit of movement in my underwear.

“This is where it gets interesting,” Ethan said, and paused, which gave it a dramatic effect, “Between that slit, is the entrance to her belly. A boy can stick his willie in there and put his piece of a baby in. The boy and girl parts merge, and a baby can grow inside her belly. But only after the girl has gotten her pregnancy shot, of course.”

He looked smug at me as if he just revealed the secret of the universe to me. But it only raised more questions. The question marks must’ve been practically visible because Ethan asked, “You get it? Or do you have any questions?”

“I… uhh… how do you put it in? And when do I have to make that boy’s part of the baby? I don’t know how! And will I get my willie back? Won’t it hurt? And what’ll happen to the girl?” I blurted.

“Haha! Don’t worry, Bro. I’ll have to wait for the official story until I’m eighteen, but I know you won’t have to worry. First, your willie needs to be stiff to stick it inside. And that’s why you get all these stiffies now. Your body is preparing itself for sticking it inside a girl.”

“Oh… that makes sense. I guess…” I said as I envisioned how a stiffy would slide into a slit like Nadia’s.

“And that baby stuff you need to make is called sperm or cum. It comes out the tip of your willie, like pee, but it isn’t. When you grow older, you’ll start making it automatically. Your balls will produce it, and it feels awesome when it shoots out of your willie,” Ethan said, sounding excited.

“Did you make a baby already?” I asked, surprised.

“I wish!” Ethan said, and in the corner of my eye, I noticed his boxers were tented. This made me realize I also had a boner. Again!

“What do you mean?”

“It’s supposed to be the best feeling in the world! It’s called sex, and I can’t wait to know how it feels,” Ethan said with obvious excitement in his voice and a twinkle in his eye.

“But how do you know that shooting spurn feels so good if you didn’t have the sex?”

Ethan was quiet for a few moments. I saw his boner twitch inside his boxers again and waited anxiously for his answer.

“You have to be quiet about this,” he said, looking deadly serious at me, “I can go to jail for telling you about this.”

“Really!? Why?”

“There’s a law that makes it illegal to talk to people under eighteen about this stuff. It’s even illegal for minors to talk to other minors.”

“I didn’t know that…” I said, feeling sorry for my brother.

“You couldn’t know. That’s the whole point of this stupid law. So.. not a word, okay?”

“Of course!”

“You can simulate sex by using your hand,” Ethan said as he exhaled and looked me in the eye.

I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about, and it must’ve shown. How could I simulate a slit like Nadia’s?

“You move your fist up and down over your willie, and if you do this long enough, you’ll shoot your sperm.”

I tried to picture how this would work and answered with a simple, “Oh. I see.”

Ethan checked me out, and after a few moments, he sighed deeply again. He shook his head and said, “No, you don’t. Look… I think it’s best if I show you. But you must swear you don’t talk about this to anyone. And I mean anyone!”

“I swear! I’m not a snitch. And I wanna know how to get rid of these annoying boners!”

“Okay then. Take off your clothes,” he said, got up, locked the door, and came back.

All the while, his boner was tenting out his boxers, and I could hardly take my eyes off it.

“Do I have to be naked?” I asked as he sat back down.

“Yup. That’s the easiest way to do this. There is no need to be shy. It’s just us boys here.”

“But I’m… I’ve got…”

“You’ve got a boner, yes. But so do I, and we need to be stiff to do this anyways, so just whip it out,” Ethan said, pulling off his boxers.

I started taking off my clothes, feeling more at ease now. I started with my shirt, and after I slid down my shorts, I couldn’t keep my eyes from the front of my brother’s boxers. The moment his stiff willie came into view, I sucked in a breath. Ethan saw me looking, and a sly smile spread across his face.

“You’ll do some growing in the coming years. Don’t worry,” he said warmly.

“It’s big!” I stammered.

“Mwah.., It isn’t THAT big. Us Wilson’s aren’t blessed with large dicks, but we make it up with hardness and fatness. Look!” he said as he tried to bend his willie and failed to do so.

Since Ethan wasn’t acting shyly, I figured I might as well get naked. I took a deep breath and slid down my boxers. With a smacking sound, my boner slapped against my belly.

“Wow, Ay! You’re bigger than me when I was your age,” he said with pride in his voice.

“Really?”

“Yeah, Dude, I swear!”

I looked at my hard willie sticking out from my groin and realized Ethan was right about the hardness and how thick it was. I only had references from my classmates in the showers at school, but I didn’t think much of it back then. I was the one with the fat willie. That was all. No one in class gave each other a second look because you weren’t supposed to look, so neither did I.

Ethan sat on his desk chair opposite the bed’s edge. He motioned me to sit on the bed and look at him.

“Look,” he said as he wrapped his fist around his boner, “take it loosely in your fist like this.”

Seeing my brother like this looked odd, and butterflies flew in my belly. But I didn’t want to wimp out, so I gripped my willie like Ethan did and kept looking at his big dick in his fist.

“Good. Now, slowly move it up and down like this.”

I mimicked my brother but felt a sting as I moved it up. A soft “Ow!” escaped my lips, and I looked helplessly at my brother.

“Don’t grip it too firmly,” he said, “I made the same mistake as you the first time.”

I nodded and loosened my grip. I saw Ethan was moving his fist up and down on his boner at a steady pace, so I just followed his lead. We were quiet for a few minutes, jerking ourselves. I started to pant a little, which I found odd. But I also noticed how Ethan moaned occasionally, and his breathing was thick and heavy.

“If you… keep going… hmm… it will start to feel… really good… ohh…” Ethan panted, his eyes fixed on my moving fist and boner.

A tingle spread through my balls as he said this. I couldn’t place the sensations yet, and it felt a little like my sack fell asleep, just like my foot would sometimes do when I sat on the couch in a specific position. My panting got heavier, and the tingle spread throughout my lower body.

There was a buildup that felt like I had to pee. So I stopped moving my fist and said, “I think I have to pee!”

“No… keep going!” Ethan said and stopped moving his own fist.

“But… I don’t wanna pee on your floor…”

“Trust me. It isn’t pee, and you’ve got to keep going! I promise it’ll be worth it!” Ethan was toying with his dick as he urged me on.

I kept looking at my brother’s fat willie as I started stroking again. Somehow, the look of his willie moving around in his fingers was mesmerizing. The tingle I felt earlier was back and was building rapidly. It was as if a dam was holding back something powerful, and the pressure on that dam kept building.

“I… I… its…” I panted.

“Keep going, Ay!” I heard Ethan say somewhere in the distance.

I zoned out, and all I could feel was that buildup in my willie and balls. It rose to the point that I was sure I’d start peeing, but when the dam finally broke, I was overwhelmed with the sensations flowing through my body. Every nerve was on fire, every muscle contracted, and all I could feel was the twitching of my stiff willie in my hand.

“Ohhh…” I finally managed to moan as I exhaled.

I realized I was holding my breath up until then, and after I exhaled, the twitching started again, but at a much slower pace with less intensity.

I opened my eyes and saw Ethan stroking his willie again, but now, his fist was flying up and down on it instead of the low pace he used earlier.

“Ohh… look out, Ay!!” he moaned loudly.

It was as if he wasn’t himself at that moment. His fist was flying, and his eyes were locked on my crotch but were completely out of focus. Next, his whole body stiffened, and he stopped stroking. A heartbeat later, jets of fluid shot from the tip of his dick, and they landed on my leg and arm.

I had never seen anything like this. Ethan had already warned me this wasn’t pee, so I wasn’t too upset about being sprayed on. It felt warm and looked interesting as it started sliding down my leg.

“I’m sorry, Ay!” Ethan panted after a couple of moments.

“Is this…” I asked and scooped a bit of it on my finger.

“That’s sperm, yes… oh wow… that was bisque!”

Ethan grabbed a towel from under his bed and started cleaning himself. I was inspecting the gooey stuff between my fingers as Ethan finished up.

He handed me the towel, said, “You started making some already!” and pointed at the tip of my willie.

I looked down and noticed a tiny drop of clear liquid on the tip of my cut willie. It looked nothing like the stuff between my fingers, so I said, “Mine’s a lot different…”

“Yeah. This isn’t the real deal yet, just the stuff that can hold your cum. But this is an important start, Dude! I was almost a year older than you when I first started.”

I felt a strange sense of pride wash over me. My big brother, who had just taught me something essential and personal, complimented me on how amazing this all was.

I started wiping my brother’s sperm from my body and wiped my fingers clean. I looked at the clear drop sitting on the tip of my dick and swiped it onto my finger. Immediately, it was obvious that this wasn’t even close to my brother’s cum. This stuff was almost like a drop of water, whereas my brother’s was thicker and more like snot.

“You’ve got to taste it, Dude,” Ethan said.

I looked at him to see if he was making fun of me, but his warm smile told me he was serious.

“But… it’s from my… you know…”

“Doesn’t matter. It’s your cum, Dude! Every boy needs to taste their cum. Especially the first drop.”

I figured he was right since he had proven himself right about all this, so I put my finger in my mouth and let the taste of that little drop go through my mouth. It tasted surprisingly sweet with a tiny hint of salt in it.

I looked surprised at my brother, who smiled broadly when I said, “It doesn’t taste bad!”

“I know! And now you’ve joined the club.”

“What club?”

“You’re part of the big boys now!” he said as he playfully punched me on my shoulder.

Ethan grabbed his boxers and started pulling them up. This was my cue to also get dressed. My willie was still semi-hard, and the way the tingles spread through my body during my cum, was on top of my mind.

Ethan must’ve noticed because he said, “You can do this as much as you want. Just make sure you’re alone because it’s something you do privately. And remember… don’t tell a soul!”

I simply nodded, still a bit overwhelmed by it all. Ethan looked at me and sat back on his chair. As he sat down, he tightened his abs, and they were even more pronounced that way. He saw me looking and said, “That suit works amazingly well. Wanna try it sometime?”

“Can I? Yeah, please!”

“But you’ll have to buy your own app. You can’t use my points!”

“Of course! Thanks!” I said and gave my underwear-clad big brother a tight hug, “For everything!”

“Don’t sweat it, Ay! Glad I could help.”

I crossed the hallway and went into my room to think about everything I learned today.

Chapter 3 – Settling in

“Thom!” a man in his fifties shouted at Dad as he approached us with his arms spread.

“Jovii!!” my father said enthusiastically, and they gave each other a firm hug and powerful pats on their backs.

“Welcome to Aetheria!” Jovii said, looked at the rest of us, and said, “And a big welcome to you too! You’re the first complete family to live on this amazing planet.”

We mumbled a thank you and felt a little awkward being put on the spot like that. Dad and Jovii talked a little as I checked out the central hub.

It was a big, open space that doubled as an auditorium. There were doors to all the different sections of the compound, and people were constantly walking around. The whole building had a greyish color that looked a bit depressing. They tried cheering it up by showing colorful old oil paintings on the screens, but the vibe of the compound didn’t change much.

I checked out my sister as she scanned the building, and when our eyes met, we shrugged simultaneously and giggled softly about our silly twin connection.

I didn’t pay much attention to what Dad was talking about. I just wanted to see our new home. But when Dad loudly said, “What do you mean it isn’t finished yet?” I paid close attention to what they were saying.

“After the asteroid storm had hit us, we needed to focus on rebuilding the control units. So, the building droids focused on that. And we first need to delve more resources to continue building the living quarters.”

“Well… shit,” Dad mumbled, but when he realized we could hear him, he looked apologetic at us and softly said, “Sorry..”

It turned out that the house-like portion of the living compound they planned for us wasn’t finished and would probably take a couple of months to finish. We couldn’t do anything about this and had to find a solution.

They had two rooms for us that were relatively close to each other. One was a “commander room,” as they called it, with a king-size bed, kitchenette, and a small meeting table. Mom and Dad would take this room, and the meeting table would be our dinner and breakfast table.

The second room was more like a regular room. It had a queen-sized bed, and everything else was cramped and only there for functionality. There was some debate over the sleeping arrangements. Mom proposed to set up a cot in their room for Nadia so Ethan and I would sleep together.

I wouldn’t mind because Ethan might be able to show me some new ways to shoot my sperm. But Ethan was immediately clear about this. He’d sleep with his mates from maintenance in the other part of the building. He was going to work there, so why not fit in quickly this way and be one of the guys from the start?

Did this mean I’d have to sleep with my sister? But… I couldn’t… that would be… awkward! But I’d be close to her. I could smell her, see her wake up every morning, and…

Mom snapped me out of my thoughts when she said as she looked at Dad, “I’ll sleep with Nadia, and Aidan will bunk with you in the big room. I don’t see any other way!”

“That would… I think you’re right,” Dad said, the disappointment dripping from his face.

It was as if a choir of angels began to sing when Nadia cheerfully said, “I don’t mind sleeping with Aidan!”

“Really?” Mom asked, surprised.

“Sure! As long as he doesn’t steal the covers,” she said, smiling broadly.

“What about you?” Mom asked as she looked at me.

“I don’t mind, I guess. She can be annoying sometimes, but she’s my twin. And us Wilsons have to stick together, right? So, yeah. It’s okay.”

“Well… then it’s decided, I guess…” Mom said.

“If, for any reason, this doesn’t work, just say so, and we’ll find a solution,” Dad said, and a moment later, when Mom walked away, “Thanks, guys!”

We were still in the central hall, and Jovii looked questioningly at Dad. Dad talked to him and said we figured it out. Jovii showed us to our new homes. As we walked through the hallway, I asked Nadia, “I didn’t think you’d wanna sleep with me.”

“Why not?”

“Because you need your, I don’t know… privacy?”

“Oh! And you don’t?” she said, a bit snarky.

I could only shrug at that as we walked along. Nadia must’ve realized she didn’t mean it the way she said it. It just came out wrong. So she playfully punched me against my shoulder and said, “We’ll make it work. We’ll just have to set some ground rules.”

“Guess you’re right,” I said as we rounded another corner, “But you don’t snore, do you? Otherwise, I’ll have to kick you out!”

“Kick me out… yeah, right…” she smiled as we stopped at the door with number A-2-198 beside it.

“This is you,” Jovii said, “You both just need to scan your IID, and you’re registered.”

Nadia held her wrist against the pad at the door. After a bleep, it was my turn.

“Get settled in, and we’ll see you in an hour in the restaurant,” Mom said as she hugged us.

“Your parents will be around that corner in room B-2-023. Inside your room, you can download the nav addon for your coms, so you won’t get lost,” Jovii said as he smiled friendly at us.

“Later!” Nadia said and opened the door.

“Come find us if there’s anything. Promise?” Mom said with a concerned look on her face.

“Of course, Mom,” Nadia said, rolling her eyes as she looked at me.

I had to stifle a giggle but smiled at Mom and nodded. Dad winked at me as he walked on toward their room.

I pressed the button, and the door closed with a soft ‘whoosh’ sound. I turned around and saw the bots that had delivered our luggage exit our room through a small hatch in the corner. As the hatch closed, I picked up my bag, and as I unzipped it, I said, “it’s still weird that we share a room.”

“Why? We’re twins, so no big deal, right?”

“Yeah… well… since we… you’ve started puberty and such. I mean… you’ve got boobs and stuff. So I figured you might want to have some privacy.”

“Yeah, right. Privacy… with Mom in the same room?” she chuckled.

I giggled at that and said, “Guess you’re right. I’m glad I don’t have to bunk with Dad. Thanks for that!”

We bumped fists, and Nadia also started unpacking. As she pulled out a couple of tiny shirts, I said, “Good thing those auto-fit clothes come with a travel option these days.”

Nadia smiled broadly and said as she held up a tiny piece of underwear, “I just hope it gets back to its original size. This won’t fit!”

I pulled out one of my boxers, showed it, and said, “Nope! Not a chance.”

“That’s not even enough fabric to cover your, you know…” Nadia giggled and looked at my crotch.

This made me blush furiously, and I felt my dick stir inside my pants. I cleared my throat, and for lack of anything else to say, I asked, “Which side of the bed do you want?”

Nadia looked at the bed and said, “Dunno. On the left, I guess. My bed at home is about the same. The right is closer to the bathroom, but it’s a small bed, so I guess I can’t go to the bathroom without waking you either way.”

As I looked at the bed, I realized she was right. We could easily lie next to each other without touching, but the movement of the mattress would surely wake the other. Seeing this bed made me worried about popping a boner. What if she’d turn around during the night, accidentally touch it and freak out over it?

We continued settling in and made some small talk. Nadia made a point of who could hog the limited bandwidth we had here at what time. I didn’t care much because I downloaded a ton of movies and series to my pod before we left.

Our coms consisted of two small, half-globe-shaped orbs. You placed one globe at the top of your ear shell and the other right below your ear on your face. With this in place, you could talk to anyone without having to use additional devices. You interacted with it through voice commands or by using tiny finger gestures on the lowest part.

The coms could also project AR images to assist with navigation and stuff. We would be needing this added navigation feature for the new base and if we went outdoors. Installing the nav addon for the base was pretty straightforward, and finding our way around the compound was a breeze with it.

“It’s like we moved in together,” I said as Nadia checked the pre-ordered groceries. We would eat at the central hall or with Mom and Dad, but some convenient things like chips and soda weren’t a luxury to have for ourselves.

“Yeah,” Nadia chuckled, “it’s like playing house when we were younger.”

“Right! We just need to find a baby!”

“And what’s next? Playing doctor ?” Nadia giggled.

“Uhm… let’s check out Mom and Dad, okay?” I said in an attempt to change the subject.

After we locked the door, we went over to our parent's room. It was easy to find with the nav but a bit further away than I initially thought.

Their room was a lot bigger than Nadia’s and mine, and with a bit of imagination, we could use it as our family room. Mom contacted Ethan, and we all gathered to have dinner in the central hall and meet our fellow colonists.

* * *

It turned out that Nadia and I were right about being the only two people on the planet in the ten to fifteen age range. We had a hunch before we boarded the ship, but according to Mom, it wouldn’t be that bad. And if it was, we should consider ourselves lucky for being there at this early age. A fourteen-year-old boy was about to head our way with one of the next cargo ships, but that would take at least another couple of months.

After dinner, we had our mandatory safety briefing. We had extensive training back on Earth, but everything would be repeated here, and new or changed procedures would also be explained.

“Pfff… This will be bisque…” Nadia mumbled in a sarcastic tone.

“Tell me about it,” I grunted as we took our seats.

“Welcome to Aetheria, everyone! As y’all know, it’s the twelfth planet humans landed on. But you might not know, is that Aetheria is the first and only planet where the two Americas actually work together, without any Chinese influence. Last week, while you were in sus, China signed off on the rights.”

A bit of excited mumbling went through the room, and Dad’s eyes actually sparkled.

“So with a representative for The Democratic Republic of America and one from The American States, we are almost back to where we were before the second Civil War,” the man said as he pointed to two men on each side of him on stage.

People started applauding when the man said this, and Dad whispered something in Mom’s ear. I didn’t know what all the fuss was about, but it seemed important. As far as I knew, North America consisted of three countries: the two Americas and Canada. I did have my history lessons, of course, and back when there was just the USA, we were the most important country in the world. But when people stopped listening to each other, things went south real quick.

“Let’s just repeat the facts here for safety’s sake,” the man on stage said, “gravity is ten percent higher than on Earth. A day here is twenty-three hours and twelve minutes. We skip the remaining minutes, so configure your watches properly, people! Also, we scratched February because a year is approximately twenty-eight days shorter than it is back on the blue planet.”

Some people were adjusting their watches, something I did the moment I entered the ship. Nadia looked bored at me and faked a yawn. This caused me to giggle, and I poked her in the ribs.

“Safety!” The man continued in a loud and serious tone as he looked around the crowd, “A few simple rules will keep you and the people in here alive. First, go outside in pairs or groups only. That’s the most important part. The hills are high, the cliffs are deep, and the landscape changes constantly. If you go out together, the chances of getting help and surviving increase significantly. Especially since radio signals don’t carry very far in this atmosphere. So your coms are only useful with the people who are close. Always use a relay station for longer ranges.”

He paused dramatically and took a sip from the glass of water on his desk. So far, he didn’t say anything we hadn’t heard before, but it carried more weight by the way he said it.

“Then there’s the weather. Because of the terraforming machines, it rains constantly for about eight months a year. And it will keep raining for a couple of years. The suit you need to wear outside will shield you from the rain, but mudslides and falling rocks are a negative result of the rain. Hence the restriction to go outside alone.”

Nadia rolled her eyes at me. It was meant as a joke, but I whispered in her ear, “This IS important! I don’t want us to die out here.”

“I know, silly!” she hissed, “I was just joking.”

“Right. Just stay focused,” I whispered, turning my attention back to the man on stage.

“The airlocks are crucial! Pay close attention when you use them. The air outside is breathable for ten to fifteen minutes. But during the time you breathe the air, particles accumulate in your lungs to a point where you eventually can’t breathe anymore. After five minutes of breathing the outside air, you must find a medical pod and let it clean your lungs. But…” another dramatic pause, “after you’ve got serious breathing problems, don’t bother with the pod anymore…”

I heard a couple of gasps around me in the crowd. There was mention of this in the briefing on Earth, but the way this man said it… it couldn’t be clearer.

“So… you know why we don’t want that air inside our compounds. Don’t worry. That’s why we’ve got airlocks and decontamination chambers. You need to fully undress,” he said with the emphasis on fully, “step inside the decon chamber and hold your breath for five seconds. You can only take one item of clothing with you, which will be your mandatory Human Body Interface Connectivity Suit. And it needs to be in travel mode, obviously.”

I glanced at Nadia, who looked back at me with a wicked smile. We’ve had extensive training with this suit and knew now how to operate them properly. I still felt uncomfortable at the idea of getting naked in a public place, no matter how common it was over here. But during training back on Earth, it was explained how there were small, private cabins to undress and dress at each side. Since we also had to test this back in training, and given the fact that AI checked if you did it right without any human interaction, made me feel a little more at ease.

“You probably haven’t heard this yet, but you need to know this, and then I’ll stop talking. Lately, we had a couple of meteor storms hitting the planet. It’s the same meteor belt your ship had to navigate through. Don’t worry about that, because last week, we upgraded our shields and added more power to them. But if a storm hits us again, you’ll be notified through your coms, and you’ll have to get inside the compound ASAP.”

He looked at the guy standing next to him, who simply nodded. Then he looked around the audience again, smiled broadly, and said, “Welcome to Aetheria, everybody! And don’t worry! It isn’t as bad as you might think after hearing this. It’s a great planet with lots of awesome people! Enjoy yourself and help us build a new, brighter future. You are now officially Aetherians!”

There was applause, and everyone got to their feet. Dad went over to the men on stage to talk to them, and Mom looked worried at us.

“That was… interesting…” she said.

“Don’t worry, Mom,” Nadia said, “it’s his job to make sure we don’t mess up.”

“I know… but still.”

I couldn’t help myself and yawned. I tried to hide it behind my hand, but Mom noticed. Of course she did.

“I think it’s best if we head to bed. It’s been a long day, and we still need to sleep off the sus,” she said as she brushed through her hair.

“Good plan,” Nadia said as she checked me out.

I nodded, hugged Mom before she could give me a kiss in public, and backed away. I checked for Dad, but Mom said, “I’ll say you’ve gone to bed. He’s busy trying to work out how to fit in as the new major.”

“Night,” Nadia said after her hug with Mom.

“Night,” I said, and Nadia and I headed back to our room.

* * *

“That was… intriguing. A lot clearer than back home, though,” Nadia said as she sat on the bed.

“Yeah, he did a good job repeating everything. Good thing they’ve upgraded the shields.”

After a couple moments of silence, Nadia softly said, “I forgot about the decon. I mean, how you… you know.”

I wanted to say that I didn’t and was hoping to catch a glimpse of a boob or pussy. Any boob or pussy, but I had to admit to myself that Nadia was highest on that list.

Instead, I said, “I saw pictures of the airlocks and decon chambers, and I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you.”

“Imagine getting stuck in there, and a rescue squad has to come and save you,” Nadia giggled.

“That would be bad. Oh boy…”

I didn’t know what to do next, and there were another couple of silent moments when Nadia said, “So, uhm… how do we do this?”

“Dunno. You change in the bathroom, and I change in here?”

“You still wear pajamas?”

I blushed and almost said that I usually sleep naked. But I managed to swallow these words just in time and said, “I sleep in my boxers.”

“Oh…”

“If you don’t mind, of course! I can wear sweats and a shirt if you want me to.”

“No, no! I don’t mind. I usually sleep without, you know… back home. But I’ve brought something to sleep in with me. It’ll just be a second.”

“I’ll brush my teeth, and then the bathroom is yours, okay?” I said, trying with everything I had in me not to picture Nadia in bed with me naked.

“Go ahead.”

As I brushed my teeth, I couldn’t shake the image of Nadia lying naked in bed with me. My dick was rock hard, and there was no way I could get it down now other than jerking it. But there was no way I could do that with Nadia in the same room. That realization hit me like a ton of bricks. How was I going to release the pressure with Nadia constantly around? I needed to find excuses to be alone. But Nadia always knew when I lied.

I spat out the toothpaste, rinsed my mouth, and stood straight. I adjusted my obvious boner and pointed it to the side. I put my hand in my pocket, and now it was still somewhat visible, but with my shirt partly covering it, you’d have to look twice to see I was sporting wood.

I took a deep breath, opened the door, and tried to hurry to the bed. I almost tripped when I looked at Nadia. Just like she did at home lately, she wasn’t acting exactly modestly around me. She had removed her sweater and stood in front of me in her little black bra and pants. Her pants were already unbuckled, and a hint of her green panties was showing.

I tried not to look at the black pads covering her breasts, but the contrast of the black pads against her pale skin looked amazing.

“Ygh,” I croaked, cleared my throat, and said, “Your turn.”

Nadia smiled and walked past me to the bathroom. I knew I needed to be quick. Otherwise, she’d see my boner tenting out my boxers. So I disrobed in record time, threw my clothes on a corner, and quickly crawled under the covers.

I was crunching up the blanket around my groin so my boner would be hidden as Nadia came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a loose-fitting, sleeveless shirt that ended about an inch above her bright green panties.

I tried not to look too obviously at her, but a lot of skin was showing under her armpits, where the sleeves used to be. And that skin was close to her boobs.

I pretended to be busy getting comfortable. But as Nadia stalled while she stood beside the bed, I couldn’t act that I was getting comfortable anymore. So, I looked at her, and she was just looking around the room. When our eyes met, she lifted the blanket and stepped into the bed.

As she laid her head on the pillow, she sighed deeply and turned to look at me. She touched my arm and said, “I kinda like this. The room isn’t awful, and I know we’ll get along together.”

I looked her in her eyes, ignored the swells on her chest, and said, “Yeah… me too. Glad you convinced Mom to do it like this.”

We were quiet for a couple of moments when Nadia said, “Your muscles really look good on you.”

I checked her out to see if she was serious, but as she openly checked out my exposed chest and when she saw me looking, she smiled warmly.

“Thanks,” I mumbled, “Let’s see if we can sleep off the sus, right?”

“Right. Computer, turn off the lights, please.”

The room went dark, and only a dim, indirect light came from under the bed.

“Night, Ay!”

“Night.”

Chapter 4 - Training

When I opened my eyes, it took me a couple of seconds to realize where I was. And something was pressing on my leg that I couldn’t place.

I looked to my right, and when I saw my sister lying beside me, I remembered where I was. Nadia’s legs were spread, and her left leg was draped over my right leg. She was snoring lightly, and her arms were above her head. Because of this, her entire midsection was exposed to just below her breasts.

I tried not to look at my sister’s exposed body and let my mind drift back to our time on Earth to take the edge off it.

* * *

I was sitting in my room on my desk chair with my eyes closed. It had been a couple of days since Ethan had taught me how to use the tool between my legs. At the moment, my boxers were around my ankles, and my fist was sliding up and down over my hard dick.

I was visualizing how the sperm shot out of Ethan’s dick, but this image was replaced by Nadia in her blue bikini every now and then. We went to the swimming pool last week, and seeing her in her bikini and how she had filled out in all the right places had struck me hard.

I was trying not to think of it while jerking off, but I simply couldn’t help myself. I concentrated on Ethan’s dick again, but as I tried getting in the zone, there was a soft knock on my door.

“Ay?” Nadia said softly at the other side of the door.

“Just a sec,” I said, feeling panicked about my hard dick and frantically trying to find a way to hide it.

I pulled up my boxers and quickly grabbed a pair of sweatpants from my hamper. I could only hope this would do the trick. I made sure my dickhead was trapped in the waistband of my boxers and that the sweats were covering up everything. A quick glance in the mirror showed that it couldn’t be missed, but it wasn’t too obvious either.

I opened my door, and my dick twitched firmly when I saw Nadia. She was only covered by a towel across her torso. The twitch freed my dick from the waistband, and when I felt it slip and land in my underwear, I quickly oozed onto my desk chair.

“Sup?” I asked as casually as I could.

“I… uhm… can we talk later about, you know… the trip?”

“Of course! I’ll come to your room after my shower, okay?”

“Thanks. I wanna know what you think of it before we decide about it tonight.

“Sure!”

And with that, Nadia turned around, and I had to suck in a breath. Her towel was big enough to cover her front, but her butt was exposed this way. Either Nadia didn’t know or didn’t care, but her ass looked like a sculpted statue by Michelangelo himself.

After Nadia closed the door, I jerked myself to a quick orgasm. I didn’t care anymore that I only thought about Nadia in her bikini or showing off her bare ass. I needed to have an orgasm, and I came quicker and harder than I ever did before.

After my shower, I put on a T-shirt and baggy shorts and knocked on my sister’s door. When she opened it, I was glad I opted for the baggy shorts. She was holding a skirt in her hand and was dressed in only a little blue bra with matching hipster panties.

“I… I’ll wait a moment,” I managed to say without choking.

“Don’t be silly! Come in. I'll be done in a sec.”

“But…”

“I’m your sister, dummy. Don’t be so overdramatic,” she chuckled as she started pulling up the plaid skirt I liked so much on her.

“I know, but…” I stammered as I walked in and sat on her bed.

“I’ve seen you in way less than this,” she giggled as she slowly put her shirt on and gave me plenty of time to gawk over her lean body.

It was good that I was sitting down because I was rock hard again, even though I shot my load minutes ago.

“That was an accident…” I mumbled.

“I know, I’m just teasing you,” Nadia said as she gave me a quick peck on my cheek and cheerfully walked over to her computer.

“Wh… what do you wanna talk about,” I said as I regained my composure.

“I did some checking, and I need you to see this. I wanna know what you think about it.”

“Okay…” I said questioningly.

“Look. I thought that EEV was a bad company. More like Neoterra evil, if you know what I mean,” she said and paused dramatically.

“Neoterra?”

“Yeah. It’s a Chinese and DRA combined company, and they kill and process a lot of alien lifeforms. They mostly use them for age regeneration and stuff for the wealthy. All very shady.”

“Didn’t know that.”

“Most people don’t. They’re not openly talking about this, obviously. But if you dig a little deeper on them in the FLiN, you find loads of articles about them.”

“But… that isn’t the case with EEV?” I asked, not entirely sure where this was going.

“No. They’re not interested in the other intelligent lifeforms on Aetheria. The biggest animals there are pig-sized, and none of the animals have anything even remotely interesting for us. The EEV only collects water from Aetheria. Well… and natural resources for building and other on-planet stuff, of course. But inside the Aetheria water are extremely useful bacteria, and that’s what they collect and how they fund the operation,” Nadia said excitedly.

“Useful how?”

“The most important use of these bacteria is that they eat our nuclear waste. That waste is turned into hydrogen and a pure form of titanium. Physicists were baffled by this because we didn’t think this was possible. These bacteria can also help with air purification, but their main task is getting rid of that waste.”

Nadia looked smug, and I had to hand it to her. She did a great job looking into this. But I wasn’t sure what she wanted to talk about.

“This doesn’t sound bad,” I said.

“No, it doesn’t sound bad at all. But the main reason I didn’t want to go was because of the idea that we were going to do a lot of shady stuff. Turns out we don’t,” she said, smiling.

“I was only thinking about how we could build our own homes over there and have loads of space and clean air,” I replied, feeling a bit dumb.

“That’s a huge plus. I agree! But the only downside I see now is the fact that there won’t be many teenagers there. I know I don’t mind, but you need to know that we’ll probably be spending a lot of time together over there.”

“Oh. That’s okay. I know there won’t be many kids our age over there, but we won’t be the only ones. Will we?”

“Dunno. According to the FLiN, not a lot of posts are made on the planet,” Nadia said as she looked thoughtfully at me, “but maybe I’m wrong. I just think we need to be on the same page, and we’ll be fine. Don’t you think?”

“Yeah. We’ll be fine, I’m sure!”

Nadia hugged me tightly and gave me another peck on my cheek. She looked at me, and the twinkle in her eyes made my stomach flutter. It was so lovely to feel her close to me, but the conflict of having feelings about my own sister made me loosen the hug and pull back a little.

Nadia thankfully didn’t notice because she said, “Let’s head downstairs. Big family meeting.”

At the start of the family meeting, it was clear everyone was up for it. So, the focus quickly shifted towards the practical aspects of the trip. For the first time in my life, I felt like my parents treated me as an equal. They listened to my concerns and ideas, and we talked about how to handle everything.

We’d have to go to an EEV facility for security and operational training. After completing all the courses successfully and the medical check-up was okay, we’d move into the facility permanently and wait for our launch date there. That would also be the moment when we had to say goodbye to friends and family.

I didn’t have many friends I’d leave behind, but Nadia had to leave her best friend. I could see she was struggling with that when this realization hit. Mom also noticed and offered to help as much as she could with that.

So, on that memorable day, it was decided that our family would become colonists at Aetheria.

* * *

“And in this room, you will learn how to use the suits. This is also where our tour ends. If there are any questions, please ask your personal trainer,” the smiling and friendly hostess said to us.

A moment later, her hologram disappeared, and I checked out my brother and sister. Ethan looked a bit bored.

But Nadia looked excitedly at the training room.

“Can’t wait to try out that one,” she said as she pointed.

“Fat chance,” Ethan said, “That’s an exoskeleton suit. You can only use these after you have completed the base course AND have fifty hours of suit time in it. With the schedule we’re supposed to meet, we won’t even be fifty hours on Earth anymore!”

“Stop whining,” Mom said, “We’ve got plenty of time to finish the training. We’ll be divided into age groups. Aidan and Nadia go together and are the only ones in their group. You’ll be with ten others, Ethan, including Rory. I’ll have to do it alone with a couple of strangers and without Dad because he’s in the commander group. So, cheer up and get to work.”

Mom playfully punched Ethan on his shoulder, causing Ethan to smile weakly. Dad grabbed him by his shoulders and said some encouraging words we couldn’t hear. But after that, Ethan smiled again, and we returned to the registration desk.

“Aidan and Nadia?” a friendly-looking young woman asked.

“That’s us,” Nadia said as she raised her hand.

“I’m Senii. Follow me, please.”

We walked behind her toward our training room, and I couldn’t help but notice how good her ass looked in her tight pants. It struck me that I saw it, though. I never looked at a woman’s ass before. Not knowingly, at least.

“Sup?” Nadia asked beside me.

“What?”

“You look… different, I guess,” she said with a bit of a worried look on her face.

“It’s… I’m just a little nervous, I guess.”

“No need. We will own this training!”

“Damn right, we will!” I replied a little too excitedly.

Senii looked over her shoulder, smiled at us, and said, “Good to see you’re both excited to get started.”

She opened an unmarked door and gestured for us to go in. We were in a small hallway with three doors. One straight ahead and one to each side. Only the door in front of us had a mark, and it read, “Training. Authorized people only beyond this point.” The other two doors were unmarked.

“You can change in those rooms. The HB-ICS you’ll be wearing under the space suits are in there. When you’re done, enter the training room, and we’ll start with a warming up and a light cardio session to see where we’re at.”

Senii opened the door to the training room and left. Nadia and I looked at each other and went into a different room without saying anything.

I entered a small dressing room. On the bench lay a tiny piece of cloth. When I picked it up and pressed it, it grew a little in my hands, and it was clear it was the suit I was supposed to wear. A sign on the wall read, “Suits need to be worn without underwear because of the vital sign readings.”

It was odd to fully undress in a strange environment, but it made sense. So as I stood there naked as the day I was born and flopping my dick from left to right with my hips, which made me giggle, I picked up the suit again. I squeezed it three times, and it grew way bigger in my hands. After this, I could easily fit into it, but it was too big. But autofit would fix that problem.

After I stepped into the HB-ICS, and after autofit kicked in, the suit kept shrinking and was extremely tight around my body. It had short sleeves and short legs. The legs were almost as long as the legs of my boxers, and the arms were just over my shoulders.

As I checked myself in the mirror, I saw how the suit showed it all. You could clearly see my penis pointing toward my left hip. You had to look closely, but even the rim of my dickhead was showing. But it also accentuated my abs and pecs nicely, which made me decide to ignore the visibility of my crotch and just go for it.

Nadia and I opened the door simultaneously. It was immediately apparent that Nadia felt uncomfortable in her outfit. She looked at me and said, “This is a bit… awkward.”

But as she said this, her eyes roamed over my body. And I just had to look, too. Her small breasts were unmistakable and looked magnificent on her. As my eyes went down, I noticed she had a little hint of a six-pack. It wasn’t like Ethan’s or mine, but it looked sexy on her.

But the real prize was between her legs. The HB-ICS was so tight that the two globes of her pussy were showing, accentuating the slit between her legs where a hard dick was supposed to enter her. When the image of my hard penis close to her pussy entered my mind, I felt a stirring in my groin. I checked out Nadia, and her eyes were focused on my crotch.

A suffocating panic washed over me. I was getting a boner, and my sister would watch me grow! I started doing math in my head while I kept looking Nadia in her eyes. She looked a bit puzzled at my crotch, and when our eyes met, she blushed.

“I’m… it’s a bit…” she cleared her throat and smiled weakly.

The math was working, and I guess the panic in my stomach was enough for me to steer clear of a boner. I didn’t want to make this any more awkward than it already was, so I said, “After you,” and opened the door to the training room.

But as Nadia walked into the room in front of me, I noticed how tight the suit was around the back. The fabric was wrapped tight around her ass and pulled between her cheeks enough to give me an excellent view of her fine ass.

This would also mean that my ass was on display, just like hers. But since everything was already pretty much out in the open, I didn’t mind too much. And according to some girls at school that I accidentally overheard, I had a cute butt.

I closed the door behind me and checked the room. There was a cardio device that could turn into several different shapes for different workout types. In another corner were a couple of space suits and a training course that was adjustable into various sorts of terrain and with changeable obstacles.

“Good! The suits fit fine and seem to work,” Senii said as she checked the tablet in her hand.

“Yeah… but aren’t they a bit… revealing?” Nadia asked softly.

“What do you… oh! Don’t worry. There won’t be any more people besides the three of us here. You are brother and sister, so it shouldn’t matter, right? And I’ve seen it all already, and I’ve also signed a confidentiality disclosure.”

“But when we’re out there on Aetheria, there will be more people,” I said, helping my twin sister.

“Oh no! You’ll only wear these under your space suit. And you change into your normal clothes after you go through the airlock cycle.”

“Uhm…” Nadia said.

“Then I guess this is lesson one,” Senii smiled, “From inside the base, you enter a small changing booth. You undress, and from that booth, you enter the decontamination chamber. Behind that chamber, there’s another changing booth where you change into your HB-ICS and the space suit. Then, you’ll enter the airlock, and you’re outside.”

Nadia looked questioningly at Senii and said, “That’s a bit elaborate, isn’t it?”

“The decontamination works both ways. We don’t contaminate the planet yet, and no unknown bacteria can enter the compound. And as a big plus, the inside air stays clean.”

“Naked?” was all I asked.

I couldn’t stop thinking about that bit of her explanation. Maybe I heard it wrong, but I wanted to be sure.

“Naked, yes. That’s the only way we’re sure nothing gets in or out. But don’t worry. Only AI computers check if everything goes well. There are no cameras or humans there. We had to manufacture it this way because in our early design, the inside air was slowly getting contaminated by Aetheria’s molecules, and our equipment couldn’t keep up.”

Senii saw our stunned expressions and smiled warmly at us. She put a hand on Nadia’s shoulder and said, “I promise you’ll get used to it quickly. Before you know it, it’s the most normal thing in the world.”

“In what world?” I snickered

“Touché,” Senii giggled, “let’s just get started with the training, and we’ll talk about this later if you want to, okay?”

“I guess…” Nadia said, still looking a bit weirded out.

“First, the functions of the HB-ICS. It’s short for Human Body Interface Connectivity Suit. It forms the link between you and your suit, so you can make full use of the space suit and will make you feel like you’re not wearing a bulky and hard-to-maneuver suit.”

“So… it tells the suit what I want or something?” I asked, intrigued by the how and what.

“More or less. Your body sends out all kinds of signals. The HB-ICS picks them up, and the CPU in the suit processes them. We just need to tweak the HB-ICS now so it works flawlessly.”

“Cool!” Nadia said.

“Look,” Senii said as she showed us her tablet, “I can see almost everything about you. Heartbeat, blood pressure, muscle tension. I can even see you… uhm… need to pee.”

Senii looked at me with a funny expression on her face and a slight blush on her cheeks, but she didn’t say anything else. I glanced at Nadia, who had a massive grin on her face, and said, “You can’t hide anything from that thing, can you?”

“Nope!” Senii said cheerfully, “Let’s start that workout.”

We did several jumping jacks, burpees, push-ups, and air-ups. After a while, I started sweating, but way later and less than usual during this kind of workout. Senii explained that this had everything to do with the suit’s tech. It kept me cool and changed some of the blood flow.

“Look,” Senii said as we looked at our outlined images on her tablet, “here’s your heart rate, and this shows how you manage to stay cooler.”

“Cool!” Nadia said, clearly impressed.

I was thinking about how this would help you on a foreign planet, so I asked, “Can anyone see this info?”

“No. Just your partner when you’re outside. Or you can explicitly grant access. It’s all a bit personal. I can even see when you need to go to the bathroom and stuff, you know?”

“Can you also change stuff?” Nadia asked.

“Sure! I can make your brother feel hot, for example.”

Senii pressed some buttons on the tablet, and suddenly, I felt like I was on fire.”

“Whoa!” I exclaimed, “Turn that down!”

“Bisque!” Nadia said excitedly. She pointed at another control, “What does this do?”

“It’s a massage function to help with muscle aches. By using this, you can continue for longer when needed. See?”

Senii pressed something again, and a buzz around my shoulder felt nice and comforting.

“Nice!” I said softly.

“And what if I do… this?” Nadia said with a bratty tone.

Before Senii could react, Nadia pressed an icon somewhere near my crotch. A moment later, a buzzing sensation started around my dick.

“Don’t do that!” Senii said sternly, slapped Nadia’s hand away, and quickly switched the setting off.

The buzzing sensation stopped immediately, and I looked questioningly at Senii. She was blushing furiously and stammered, “That’s for… it’s not for you.”

“Sorry,” was Nadia’s guilty-sounding reply as she looked at the floor.

“This isn’t a toy,” Senii said seriously, “you can save your partner's life when you’re out in the wilderness of a foreign planet. Treat it like that, okay?”

“Yes, of course! I'm sorry,” Nadia replied and glanced at me with a face as if she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

The rest of the day was spent tweaking the HB-ICS for both of us. Senii was happy with our progress and said we would start working with the space suit tomorrow.

As we walked back, Nadia was uncommonly quiet. I looked at her and asked, “What’s up? Didn’t you like the training? Was it Senii?”

“Never mind,” Nadia said and looked at the floor.

“Come on! Spit it out,” I pressed.

Nadia stopped and looked at me with an expression that was so serious it almost scared me. She grabbed her ear, something she always did when she was nervous, and said, “I’m sorry about the massage thing…”

After all the other things we did, I honestly forgot about the incident, but apparently, it was still on top of Nadia’s thoughts.

“It’s okay. Really!”

“I shouldn’t have done it without asking you. But I thought maybe something was wrong with your… thingy,” she said, blushing as she looked at my groin.

“My th… why?”

“Because… it looked a lot smaller and softer than when you… when I saw you, you know.”

Now, it was my turn to blush. That short moment in the bathroom made more impact on us than I initially expected.

“It’s, uhm. It’s usually soft, like today,” I said after clearing my throat.

Nadia looked puzzled at me. After a few moments, she asked, “But why was your thingy so… big after your shower?”

“Stop calling it thingy. Makes me feel like a little kid. It’s… uhm. I don’t know if I’m allowed to tell you this.”

“Tell me what?”

“It’s a grownup thing. I heard about it from E… Erik in school,” I said as I realized just in time I was about to expose my brother.

“I won’t tell a soul!” Nadia said as she looked around to see if nobody was around.

I also looked around and saw we were all alone. I ignored my growing dick and said in a conspiratorial tone, “Boys dicks get hard and big in order to make babies.”

Nadia looked like she didn’t believe me and said, “Yeah, right. You were making babies in the shower. Don’t lie to me, Ay!”

“I wasn’t making babies in the shower, dummy!” I said, a little agitated, “As boys grow up, their body prepares them for making babies by getting boners every now and then.”

“Boners?”

“That’s when my… dick… gets all swollen and stiff.”

“Why?”

“What do you mean, why?”

“Why does ‘it’ get stiff?” she asked, emphasizing the word it.

As I tried to ignore my massive hardon, I said, “So it can slide into a girl’s… slit.”

Nadia’s eyes widened, and she covered her O-shaped mouth with her hand. I paused dramatically and said, “And when it’s inside, I shoot my sperm. That’s how babies are made.”

My face must’ve looked pretty smug because she asked, “You sure about this?”

“Definitely! Erik’s older brother told him all this, and he made me swear not to rat him out. So, please, keep this to yourself, okay?”

Nadia nodded and was quiet for a moment. Then, her face lit up, and she asked, “But I had my shot moments after I was born, just like every other girl. Will I still get pregnant when you, you know, stick it in?”

This reminded me of the lessons we had in school about this. The pregnancy shot became mandatory after the UN decided it was the only solution for overpopulation. This shot was given to girls right after they were born and ensured they couldn’t get pregnant until they got the shot to reverse the effect. Before this, girls apparently had to take some sort of hormone-based medicine to regulate this. But this was far from watertight, bad for their health, and expensive. So they invented this shot, and the results were almost perfect.

“I think you need to get your pregnancy shot first. And… I’m your brother, so it’ll be weird if I’d stick it in, don’t you think?”

“You’re right,” she said and blushed brightly again, “I meant it more in a general way, you know? Like.. when a BOY sticks it in.”

“Of course,” I said casually, and we started walking again.

It took a while for my boner to go down, and Nadia was unusually quiet again. Over the next couple of days, she kept stealing glances at my crotch and touched me even more than she usually did. These were simple touches, like when I made her laugh and stuff, and nothing sexual. But to me, they felt electric.

Chapter 5 - Camo

Nadia moved beside me, and as her right leg was draped over my left, this woke me up. But the light snoring coming from her open mouth indicated that she was still asleep.

I was lying on my back and looked at my twin sister in the dim light of the room. Her arms were above her head, and the blanket was about halfway down our upper legs. My morning wood, tenting out my boxers, was also on display this way, but I only had eyes for the slit that was now clearly visible in Nadia’s green panties.

Her midsection was exposed as her top had pulled up during the night. The top ended a couple of inches below her breasts. My eyes moved upward over her tight, exposed belly and landed on the swells of her small breasts. Her hard nipples were trying to poke through her top and looked beyond sexy to me.

I almost got a heart attack when Nadia groaned and said, “Hmm… good morning”.

I was so focused on her boobs that I didn’t notice she woke up. But now I panicked because my tented boxers couldn’t be missed, and I was too late to cover up.

I was frantically weighing the options in my head when Nadia propped up on her elbows and looked around the room.

“It took me a moment to realize where I was,” Nadia said cheerfully, “but when I saw you, I rem- oh…”

Busted!

I felt SO embarrassed at that moment that I couldn’t speak or even look at my sister. All I could do now was hope she wouldn’t scream or call for Dad or something like that.

But I was glad when she softly asked, “Is that your thing- boner?”

“I’m SO sorry, Nad! I didn’t mean to, but I always have one in the morning,” I said, feeling my tears well up in my eyes.

I managed to look at my sister, and when she saw my face, she said, “Don’t be sorry, Ay,”

“It’s… I don’t want this…” I sniffed.

Nadia laid on her side and put her hand on my bare chest. Her touch was electric, and when she softly said, “Really! Don’t worry. I talked with A’vii about this, and they explained a lot. I know now that boys sometimes can’t help it,” I relaxed a little.

“A’vii?” I asked, amazed that her best friend on Earth knew about this stuff.

“Yeah. She has an older sister, and she was… willing to explain some things to us.”

“Oh…”

“I visited them through the FLiN with my holo a couple of times after you told me... the things you did. That’s when A’vii’s older sister talked to us.”

“That’s pretty bisque of her,” I said, but my hardon twitched involuntarily in my boxers, causing it to become the center of attention again.

“Can I… uhm…” Nadia started.

“What?”

“Never mind…” she said, and the blush spread all over her face and neck.

“Come on! Just ask,” I said, trying to keep the conversation away from my hard dick.

“Can I, like… touch it?”

Wow! Somehow, I didn’t see that coming. This question also needed a little time to land. Why would she want to touch it? She was my sister, so was it a big deal? Or was it precisely the opposite? She wouldn’t tell anyone that one was certain, but…

“If you don’t want me to, that’s fine!” Nadia added in the silence that followed, “But, I mean… since I saw it already, I thought…”

Oh boy! I didn’t want to be remembered about that! But then again, it was cool on a strange level. So, after a couple more moments of silence, I softly said, “You can touch it if you want. But don’t tell anyone, okay? Not even A’vii!”

“Cool!” Nadia whispered, and in a normal voice, she added, “Of course not! And I can’t even talk to A’vii anymore. That stuff doesn’t work on Aetheria.”

Of course, I knew the FLiN didn’t work here, but I wanted to emphasize my point by explicitly pointing out her best friend.

“So, how… ohhh!” I said, but Nadia didn’t waste any time and pressed her finger against my shaft.

She immediately pulled back and asked worriedly, “Did I hurt you?”

“No, no. It’s just that…” I hesitated a second but figured I might as well be frank here, “It feels good, and I didn’t expect it. You won’t hurt me.”

That seemed enough encouragement for her to go on, so two fingers pressed against my shaft a moment later.

“It’s warm!” she exclaimed excitedly.

I could only nod and looked down at my crotch, where my twin sister’s hand was touching my rock-hard boner.

Nadia clearly had fewer inhibitions about this than me because her fingers wrapped themselves around my boxer-covered shaft and squeezed it gently. Her touch on my dick was beyond electric. But this added stimulation caused my dick to twitch violently, only this time, Nadia giggled coyly and just loosened her grip instead of pulling back.

“It’s hard and soft at the same time,” she whispered to no one in particular.

Her hand kept exploring and moved up toward my dickhead. Somehow, she knew to be gentler there and caressed it more or less.

As she did this, I moaned softly, which made Nadia move her hand down to cup my balls instead of continuing on my dickhead, which I wouldn’t mind one bit.

The way she was exploring my dick and balls made me rethink the idea of brothers and sisters doing this. Nadia showed no signs of being weirded out and obviously enjoyed what she was doing. But a little voice inside my head kept telling me this was wrong and that I needed to protect my sister. She asked me to feel my dick. I knew that perfectly well. But somehow, it felt like I was molesting her.

Nadia let my balls wiggle between her fingers. I wanted to warn her about being gentle, but she was ahead of me when she said, “These are really sensitive, right?”

I nodded, and she said, “They feel funny.”

Nadia abruptly lifted her hand, placed it on my chest, and gave me a quick peck on my cheek.

“Thanks! And thanks for not being weird about this!” Nadia said as she sat up straight and acted like nothing was wrong with feeling me up like this.

I wasn’t sure what to say, so I simply replied, “Sure!”

“I was curious what it felt like when I saw you… back home, you know? And now I do, so thanks for that! I’ll hop into the shower quickly. Then we’ll eat breakfast at Mom and Dad's and check out the base together after that, okay?”

“Sounds like a plan.”

She hummed a song as she got up, grabbed a towel and clean underwear, and entered the bathroom.

I lay on the bed and kept looking at the ceiling. My head was a whirlwind of thoughts. I absolutely LOVED how the electricity of Nadia’s hand and fingers on my dick set my nerves on fire. But didn’t I need to protect my twin sister from herself? Should I jerk to a quick orgasm? What if Mom or Dad found out about this?

The jerking session was on top of my mind, but the risk of being caught and the lack of a way to clean up was reason enough to not start with this. Instead, I did everything I could to let my boner go down. My mind filled itself with math problems, dead kittens, and cold penguins, but it took every bit of focus I could manage.

When the bathroom door opened, and Nadia came out in her plain white bra and matching panties, I was on the soft end of being between soft and hard. Nadia glanced at my crotch, didn’t say anything, and gestured the shower was free.

We ate breakfast with just Mom. Both Ethan and Dad were already out at work on the compound, and Mom had a meeting later with some of her new colleagues. We talked about our plans, and Mom encouraged us to go exploring. Our school wouldn’t be finished in a couple of weeks, so we had plenty of time on our hands.

But our exploration ended disappointingly quickly. Most of the parts that seemed interesting to us were only accessible with special clearance, which we didn’t have. Eventually, we ended up in the central room, where we had our initial safety meeting and looked at each other.

We sat at opposite sides of the table, and we sighed deeply. The way we did this simultaneously made us giggle. I glanced around and noticed a couple of people were eating their lunches, whereas others were chatting quietly together.

“This sucks ass,” Nadia said with a great capacity for understatement.

“Big time!”

“These are going to be a long couple of weeks,” she sighed.

I looked at a girl about Ethan’s age who was cleaning the tables. When she was at our table and saw our faces, she asked, “What’s up?”

“Nothing,” I mumbled.

“It’s SO boring here!” Nadia whined.

“I figured that was the case,” the girl chuckled, “Why do you think I volunteered for this job?”

“Are there any jobs we can volunteer for?” Nadia eagerly asked.

“You’re Major Thom’s kids, right?”

“Yeah,” I said, “I’m Aidan, and she’s Nadia.”

“I’m Laousa,” the girl said as she sat beside me.

She looked amused at us and said, “You’re too young to do jobs. You’re thirteen, right?”

“Yeah. That’s a problem?”

“Maybe not if you’re the major’s kids. If you wanna pull those strings already, that is.”

“Bummer…” I said glumly.

“There’s a running and exercise track I used when I just landed here. Took my mind off doing nothing for a week or so back then.”

“That’s an option,” Nadia said as she looked at me.

I nodded, and Laousa continued, “I wish I could let you help me, but there’s already very little to do for me, and I can get into trouble for letting you help me.”

“We don’t want that,” Nadia said, picking at a loose piece of plastic where the table was slightly damaged.

“I can get you a drink if you want. And you can always come and chat if you want. How’s that?”

“Thanks. That’ll be great,” Nadia said, but I could hear the disappointment in her voice.

We chatted for a while, and I had to say that Laousa was friendly and kind. This was our first real interaction with a fellow Aetherian, and I was glad it was pleasant.

As we walked back to our room, I said to Nadia, “At least she was nice. Imagine nothing to do with only assholes surrounding you…”

Nadia giggled and said, “Yeah. That would suck even more.”

“And now what?” I asked, “Watch a movie and maybe exercise later?”

“I guess…”

* * *

The following day was basically a copy of the first. Except for the fact that Nadia was already in the bathroom when I woke up, and she’d ignored my obvious boner. Did she regret what we did yesterday? Did I do something wrong?

By the time she came out of the bathroom, I’d modestly covered myself with the blanket. I wasn’t sure, but I thought I saw a hint of disappointment on her face.

We had breakfast with Mom, walked around the compound, ran two exercise laps, and watched a movie or two.

During the second movie, Dad knocked on the door. Nadia opened it, and I grabbed my shirt. As I put it on, Dad said, “We’re going to open the shutters for the first time in weeks today. Do you wanna come and see what the planet looks like?”

The shutters were closed because of the latest meteor shower. Apparently, it was kind of a big deal that they were opening them again. They’d first open the ones in the control center to ensure everything was okay, and I was curious what the planet actually looked like. I didn’t care that this was one of the privileges of being the Major’s kids. I wanted to see that!

So I eagerly went with Dad, and Nadia followed us, acting a bit uninterested, but I knew she also wanted to see this.

When we entered the control room, Dad gave us a quick tour. Everyone was friendly and explained what they were doing and how things worked. When the time to open the shutters was there, Dad made sure we could see everything, and we almost had the best spot in the room.

As the shutters opened, I let out a soft “Wow!” and so did Nadia, who stood beside me. We were looking out over a big lake that looked a lot like an Earth’s lake.

But the ground surrounding it looked more like a deserted Arizonian desert. There were no plants and just rocks. These rocks weren’t pointy like you’d see in an old sci-fi movie but more rounded, colorful, and cool looking.

It was raining, and there were puddles of mud all around. But what got my attention was that the sky was blue, like on Earth, but with a slightly more greenish color. I hadn’t noticed this when we touched down a few days ago. This gave me a sense of home, and it didn’t feel like we were light-years away from Earth. All in all, it looked like the pictures we’d seen before. But seeing it in real life was more intense.

“Impressive, huh?” Dad asked with a grin on his face.

“Yeah! It looks more like Earth than I expected.”

“Over there, you can see the base of Zuckerberg mountain. He’s basically the guy who invented th-“

“The FLiN. I know, Dad. He started Metaverse, which evolved into the FLiN. I had my history classes at school,” I said, smiling, knowing Dad meant well.

“Yeah,” Dad cleared his throat and pointed to the giant towers in the distance, “There’s the first terraforming complex on the planet. Coms are currently offline, and we need to find out why.”

“Where’s Xi-Ping Lake?” Nadia asked as she looked outside next to me.

“That’ll be over there, behind that hill,” Dad said as he pointed to our right, “That’s where we’re collecting the water and bacteria.”

We looked around some more, but Dad excused himself when someone asked him to come with him. Nadia and I stalled a bit. But eventually, we had to leave the command center. The whole compound looked different when we walked through the hallways toward the central hall. More… alive. The colors streaming in through the windows gave everything a whole different vibe.

When we met Laoousa, she was beaming. She gave us both a drink and cheerfully said, “It’s so good to be able to see the outside again!”

“It’s a lot different seeing it in real life than in pictures and videos,” Nadia said.

We chatted for a while when Laousa suddenly said, “Oh! Almost forgot. I’ve got something for you.”

She got up, and Nadia and I looked at each other. Nadia shrugged, and I said, “She’s a little weird. Funny, but weird.”

Nadia giggled, and we followed Laousa with our eyes as she came back to our table carrying a box. She smiled at us as she set the box in front of us at the table.

“I’ve collected my and my brother’s old clothes. I think they’ll fit. This way, you two won’t look so… Earthy…”

I looked at what I was wearing and didn’t have a clue what she was talking about. But apparently, Nadia did, as she said, “Thanks! I was looking for a way to, you know… blend in.”

“A few of them are autofit, but most are just vintage, so you’ll have to check if it fits.”

Nadia got up and gave Laousa a hug. She opened the box, and the two of them started rummaging through the clothes.

After a while, Laousa said she had to clean the counter. We thanked her again, and I carried the box back to our room.

“I still don’t know what’s wrong with our clothes,” I said as we entered our room.

“I know you don’t. And that’s okay,” Nadia chuckled, “but we’ll blend in way better with these clothes. You’ll see.”

Nadia picked out some clothes for me and laid them on the bed. She asked me to try a couple of them on, and I had to admit they looked better than the clothes I was wearing. I hesitated slightly but figured I might as well undress down to my underwear since Nadia had already seen me like this a couple of times.

She openly checked me out as she handed me the clothes. But unlike before, this didn’t make me feel uncomfortable anymore.

“Looks good on you! Now try these,” she said and handed me another pair of pants and a shirt.

We did this a couple of times, and with the last pair of pants, she managed to make me feel uncomfortable after all when she said, “A bit tight in the crotch. But you make it work.”

As I put my original clothes back on, Nadia laid her clothes on the bed. She started undressing, and before I knew it, she stood there in her bra and panties as if it were the most normal thing in the world. And it seemed like it WAS the most normal thing in this world.

She picked up a shirt and skirt when I noticed something. I picked up the long-sleeved shirt to see if I saw it correctly.

“No way! This is a vintage Camo shirt!” I said excitedly.

“What’s Camo?” Nadia asked as she pulled down her shirt.

“Don’t you know what Camo is?” I chuckled, “Finally, I know something about clothes that you don’t!”

Nadia chuckled, too, saying, “I honestly never heard of it.”

“It was created decades ago, and it can take on any color, pattern, picture, you name it. Look, here’s the control unit you put on your wrist.”

“Why did they stop making it? Sounds cool.”

“Dunno. Guess they couldn’t get the autofit to work? Or it was too expensive? Here!” I said as I handed the shirt to her, “Try it on!”

She lifted her shirt, and as she started to put on the Camo shirt, I cleared my throat, blushed, and said, “Uhm… there might be another reason… you need to, uhm… be naked under it. So no bra.”

“Oh?” As she sized me up, Nadia asked, “Why’s that?”

“It gets its energy from skin contact. That’s the only way it can work. I’ll turn around for a sec, don’t worry.”

I turned my back to my twin sister. I heard ruffling behind me, and the idea of her being topless in the same room with me made me a little excited, and I felt my dick chub up a little.

“Okay. You can look.”

I turned around, and the shirt fitted Nadia perfectly. It was now deep black at its default color. I checked the controls around her wrist, and they were also dark. It looked like the shirt didn’t have any power.

“I think it’s broken,” I said, a bit disappointed.

“That’s too bad,” Nadia said, and she bent over to pick up her bra that was on the floor.

When she stood straight, I noticed a glitch on her control pad. Nadia was looking at me to turn around again, but it dawned on me and said, “You need to charge it! Do a couple of jumping jacks or something, and it’ll start working!”

Nadia checked to see if I was making fun of her, but she smiled and joined me when I started doing jumping jacks.

After about a minute of exercise, the fabric on her shirt started glowing, and a soft beep came from the pad on her wrist.

“I think it’s done,” Nadia said, looking at the pad, “Now what?”

“Lemme see…”

I started fumbling with the buttons on the pad on her wrist. It took me a couple of seconds, but it was pretty self-explanatory once I got the hang of it.

“Look,” I said, pressed a button, and her shirt turned bright yellow.

“Cool!”

I explained how it worked, and pretty soon, all colors of the rainbow were coming by. We found the pattern function a little later, and her shirt got even more outrageous.

“What’s this?” Nadia asked and pressed another button.

Immediately, her shirt showed an image of half her head and part of the ceiling.

“Wow!” I exclaimed, but Nadia was quicker.

She held her pad in front of her face and pressed the button again. Now, her face was on her shirt, and it looked funny as hell. Especially after she tweaked it a bit and the image spread out into hundreds of smaller pictures.

“Do me!” I said excitedly.

She held the pad in front of me, and as I made a funny face, she pressed the button. The result was hilarious, and we both laughed out loud.

Nadia held the camera close to her nose, and now both her nostrils were showing, which was even funnier when the picture was multiplied.

We were both laughing hard, and I saw tears running down Nadia’s cheeks. I unbuttoned my pants, slid down my pants and underwear at the back so my ass cheeks were showing, and said, “Here! Do this!”

Nadia didn’t waste a moment, and when my white butt was showing on her shirt, we both lost it. My belly was hurting from all the laughing, and Nadia had to lean against the closet.

After a few moments, Nadia opened her mouth to take a picture of that, but my heart almost stopped beating while I was looking. I noticed her belly button first, but immediately, my eyes were drawn to her chest.

Somehow, the fabric had become completely transparent, and her boobs were showing. Her boobs! It looked so amazing that I couldn’t tear my eyes away, even if my life depended on it. The small swells of her breasts were topped off with dime-sized, dark-pink nipples that looked fabulous on her body.

It probably only took a second, but I had mental images for months to jack off to in that second.

Nadia realized I had stopped laughing, and I felt her eyes on me. I quickly turned my head away and shielded her with my hands. I knew I was blushing furiously as I could almost feel the heat on my face.

“Your… uhm… you…” I stammered.

“Wha- OH!!” she said, and I could hear her turn around.

“I didn’t mean…”

“Shit! This is bisque! What happened?” she said, and thankfully didn’t sound mad.

I could hear she was pressing all sorts of buttons, and every time, an annoying beep indicated this wasn’t working.

“I don’t know. But maybe I can fix it?”

Nadia was quiet for a moment and softly said, “Okay.”

“Can I, you know… look?”

“Yeah. Just fix it, okay?”

I tentatively turned around and saw my sister’s naked back. It was just a bare back, but it still looked sexy. The moment this idea shot through my head, I regretted it. She was my sister, damnit! I needed to help and protect her, not perv on her!

She held up her wrist so I could check the pad. It took me a moment to figure out what was wrong. Eventually, I decided to disconnect and reconnect the cable that connected the pad, and after a reboot and the startup sound, the thing seemed to work again. It turned out this solved it, and her shirt was as black as it had been when we started.

“Thanks,” she mumbled as she turned around.

She didn’t look at me, and I could feel the tension in the air. I wasn’t sure how to react to this, so I did what I always did when I didn’t know how to respond.

“No problem. Good thing you don’t have to walk around with my butt on your shirt all day!”

A smile returned to her face, and I felt my heart melt as she looked at me.

“I’ll change into something else. Don’t want this to happen in the main hall,” she said, turned around, and took off the shirt.

I never thought it would be sexy to watch a girl get dressed, but looking at how she was putting on her bra, it sure was.

I immediately dismissed this thought and felt stupid again for thinking like this. I needed to do something about it because this was getting ridiculous. This lingered in my head for a couple of moments before I realized what I could do about it. I needed to jerk off! That would surely take the edge away from it.

But I couldn’t do it in bed with Nadia next to me. What if she caught me doing it? No, I’d do it in the shower next time. With the image of Nadia’s naked boobs on top of my mind, I would be done in a heartbeat.

“Thanks, Ay,” Nadia said as we opened the door.

“Let’s see Mom,” I said, carefully avoiding the subject.

* * *

The days started to blend into one. I’d wake up when Nadia entered the bathroom. She never asked to look or feel me up again. I was sure she regretted doing this with me, which was a massive bummer because having her hands on my dick felt amazing.

After our morning routine, we’d have breakfast with Mom and occasionally Dad or Ethan. After that, we’d exercise, hang out with Laousa, and chill in our room. That was it, and boredom was striking us hard.

“I see you more as a friend than my brother these days,” Nadia said as we left our room for a family dinner.

“Me too. I never thought I’d say this, and I’ll always deny saying it to other people, but it doesn’t suck that you’re my sister,” I chuckled, and Nadia playfully punched me on my shoulder as she mumbled, “Jerk.”

It was actually just the second time we ate as a family since we landed here, and Mom was thrilled to have us all at the table together.

Dad and Ethan obviously had more exciting days than Nadia and me. Ethan had even been outside once, and he was bragging about it so much that Dad told him to tone it down.

Dad mentioned they were still having trouble reaching the remote terraforming site, but they couldn’t spare a team to go and check it out at the moment. Ethan immediately volunteered to go and check it out. Dad didn’t dismiss the idea right away and said he needed to talk to the team leader about it.

“We can help him!” I blurted out, “We’ve got all the time in the world, and we passed our safety exams with a perfect score! Right?” I said as I looked at my sister, who eagerly nodded.

“That’s the team spirit we need over here, Son! But I’m not the one deciding this. I promise I’ll talk to the team’s chief about this.”

Dad talked about how the collection of water and bacteria was finally ramping up. There was also lots of progress on the building drones, and maybe they’d have our part of the building finished in just two weeks.

After we cleaned up, Dad excused himself when his coms lit up. He was needed on the bridge. This was the cue for all of us to go back to our own rooms.

“Let’s hope Dad manages to get us to go with Ethan,” Nadia said as I flipped on the TV.

“Yeah! That would be bisque!”

After another lame movie, we decided to call it a night. Nadia went into the bathroom while I undressed and slipped under the covers in my boxers. I was glad I figured out to jerk off in the shower because every time Nadia came out of the bathroom in her top and panties, I couldn’t take my eyes off her beautiful body. And every time, the image of her bare breasts filled my mind.

Sleeping in my boxers was also a little less annoying. I didn’t get as many nocturnal boners as before, which always woke me because of how they strained my undies.

“Night, bro,” Nadia said, and she gave me the usual peck on my cheek.

“Night!”

I dozed off quickly, as I always did. I always slept before Nadia did, and since I was a sound sleeper, I’d wake up refreshed every morning without waking up or dreaming during the night.

This time, however, was different. I felt I had a couple of hours of sleep behind me, but I still had several to go. It was immediately clear what woke me up. Nadia was having a bad dream and was moaning and kicking her feet. I had my back toward her and figured I’d let her sleep.

But when she kicked me against my leg, I figured I’d better wake her up and turned on my back. But when I looked to my left, I was certain for a moment that I was still dreaming.

There, on her back, legs spread, and with the blanket on her ankles, lay my sister in all her naked glory. I involuntarily sucked in a breath as my eyes roamed over her fabulous-looking body.

I shook my head and pinched myself on my cheek, but I was wide awake. Lots of questions shot through my head. Why was she naked? Was it okay to look, or should I do the right thing and look away? Why did she look so amazing naked?

She was on her back, so gravity had done its job on her boobs. My eyes went from her flattish chest with her hard, pointy nipples down over her tight, with a hint of a six-pack belly, to the small, dark patch of hair above her endlessly intriguing but mysterious slit.

Even though I knew it was a million kinds of wrong, my eyes drank in every inch of her body. My dick was rock hard and straining my boxers. A tingle spread through it as I kept feasting my eyes.

This tingle was familiar and meant that I was close to coming already. And I hadn’t even touched myself yet! Seeing my twin sister like this got me so worked up that I couldn’t help it. I tucked the waistband of my boxers under my balls, freeing my dick in the process. I threw all caution out of the window and probably wasn’t thinking very rationally. But I just had to do something!

I tried not to move too much because that could potentially wake up Nadia. So I gripped my dick firmly and let out a low grunt, as my body already knew what this meant; relief!

I slowly moved my fist up and down, all the while I was focusing on that small slit where my dick should slide into. I never thought something this small could look this inviting. I had to increase the pace of my sliding fist because the tingling feeling was becoming almost unbearable. My gaze alternated between her pointy nipples, pubic hairs, and exposed slit.

All of a sudden, my balls pulled up, my dick thickened in my fist, and my orgasm hit me. And it hit me with full force!

As the first spurt hit me on my chin, which was the furthest I ever shot, I heard myself groan loudly. It was way too loud, but I couldn’t help it. The second, third, and fourth spurts weren’t as powerful but still landed all over my chest. They were still small drops of watery cum, but shooting it out of my dick felt sooo amazing!

“Wha- grmb…” Nadia grumbled beside me.

Because of my orgasmic high, her words and movement registered a little too slowly. The moment I realized she was waking up, I turned to my side with my back toward her.

“Ay?” she softly said, and I could hear her grab the blanket and pull it up.

“What?”

“I’m… I’m sorry,” Nadia said so softly I almost couldn’t hear it.

After she sniffed, I was more than a little confused. Why was she crying? Why did she say sorry? For Christ's sake, I was the one who jerked off on his naked sister!

I turned onto my back and looked at her. She was lying on her side with her face toward me, had her eyes closed, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

“Hey? What’s wrong?” I said and gently laid my hand on her cheek.

“I…” SNIFF, “I shouldn’t have done…” SNIFF, “this.”

“Done what? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I did! I shouldn’t have taken off my clothes. You don’t wanna see your sister naked! But it was so hard sleeping in them, and since you’re such a heavy sleeper, I figured…” she said and ended with another loud sniff.

“Come here,” I said, extending my arm, but I completely forgot about the drops of cum on my neck, chest, and belly.

Nadia looked at me with a puzzled face and asked, “You’re not mad?”

“Why would I be? I wish I was smart enough to do this! I hate sleeping with clothes, too, you know?”

Nadia didn’t wait for another second and moved in for that hug. She hugged me tightly, and I hugged her back. It was amazing feeling her boobs against my chest. Despite shooting my cum moments ago, the feeling of the soft skin of her breast against my skin made me bone up again instantly.

“You’re the best, Ay!” she said and kissed me on my cheek.

“I know…” I replied smoothly.

We lay like this for a couple of moments when she asked, “What’s this?”

She dipped her finger in the drop of cum on my neck, and my heart almost stopped beating when I realized what it was.

“It’s… nothing. Sweat, I guess.”

My blush must’ve been unmistakable because Nadia pressed. “This isn’t sweat.”

She kept examining it between her fingers when she sucked in a breath and asked, “Is this… sperm?”

Now, it was my turn to feel terrible. I didn’t know what to do, and I felt tears well up in my eyes. “I’m so sorry! It was… I was, and when I opened my eyes, you… and then…” I blurted.

I was so afraid I was busted and that she’d get mad at me now that she realized I jerked off beside her. But all she said was, “Wow!” and stuck out her tongue to taste my cum.

My eyes widened as she did this, and my heart was pounding in my chest. She wasn’t mad, obviously. It was all one big mindfuck, and I was so confused I could hardly think anymore. Nadia was afraid I’d be mad at her, as much as I was scared of the opposite.

“You… you aren’t mad?”

“Why would I be mad? Madsturbation is perfectly normal. A’vii said so herself. I did it a couple of times, and it feels good.”

“It’s masturbation, and… do girls do this stuff too?”

“Of course, silly. Haven’t done it since we landed here, though. With, you know… you beside me.”

Since we were being honest, I said, “I… uhm… I did it in the shower a few times. And… uhm… a couple of minutes ago.”

I smiled weakly as I said this, and Nadia looked thoughtfully at me. The soft swell of her breast was still pressed against my chest, which distracted me a little.

“Makes sense. I thought you hurt yourself in there the other day,” she chuckled. After a few moments of silence, “But why did you do it in bed? I could’ve caught you…”

“I… I never saw a naked girl before. And then, when I opened my eyes, you were lying there. I couldn’t help it,” I said, and as I shrugged, I said, “Sorry, I guess?”

“So you think I look hot?”

“Oh yes! Definitely!” I blurted out way too enthusiastically.

Nadia didn’t respond to my over-enthusiastic reply. Instead, she looked thoughtful, and a blush formed on her cheeks.

“Can you… you know… show me how you do it?” she asked after another moment of silence.

“Show you!?”

I couldn’t believe my ears as she said this. Did my twin sister want to watch me jerk myself?

“You don’t have to, if you don’t wanna,” she quickly added, “But I thought that since I, you know, ‘saw’ you back on Earth, I figured it’s not that big of a deal.”

And just like that, Nadia looked shy again. But then it suddenly dawned on me. She was just as interested in my body as I was in hers! This epiphany hit me like a ton of bricks but made a lot of things clearer now.

Why shouldn’t I let her see my body? There was no harm in that. And maybe by showing mine, she’d be willing to show me more of hers! And there was no harm in just showing, right? We wouldn’t be having sex or anything.

“No, it’s not that I don’t want to. I just… are you sure? I’ll have to be naked, you know?”

It was a little evil to put it like this, but I was curious about her reaction. And it gave me time to steady my nerves since I already decided I would do this.

“Oh, but that’s no problem,” Nadia said as casually as she could, but she couldn’t hide the enthusiasm in her voice, “I mean… I already saw your th- dick, so…”

“Alright then,” I softly said, but I wasn’t moving since I was too chicken to start.

“Bisque!” Nadia said but didn’t move either.

A couple of awkward moments later, we both started to giggle. I pushed the blanket entirely down and exposed my tented boxers.

“Shall I…”

“Yes!” Nadia interrupted me and had a determined look on her face.

She sat up straight and had her arm in front of her chest, obscuring her boobs. She scooted over so she sat near my hips, looking at my boxer-clad boner.

“Let’s do this together,” she said softly as she looked me in my eyes, a blush spread over her face and the upper half of her chest.

I could only nod and slid my thumbs into the waistband of my boxers. Seeing my sister sitting there, with only her arm covering her beautiful breasts, was enough encouragement to start taking off my boxers.

I slid them down slowly, and my boner was trapped in the waistband, so it started pointing down with the movement of my hands. As my pubes were being bared, I lifted my ass off the mattress to finish the job.

After my boxers were low enough and my dickhead slipped from the waistband, my dick sprang free and slapped against my belly with a slap. Nadia’s eyes were wide as she eyed my naked boner for the second time.

I continued sliding down my boxers, and after I dropped them on the floor, Nadia’s eyes were still glued to my boner.

“It’s… wow…” she stammered, “it’s pretty big, Ay.”

This filled me with pride, but I was hoping to get a good look at her boobs while she was sitting up. But her arm was still across her chest, obscuring my view.

After a couple of moments where neither of us moved, with Nadia’s eyes on my dick and mine focused on her chest, Nadia said, “Oh! Sorry. I didn’t…”

She started blushing as she quietly lowered her arm. As more and more of her breasts came into view, my dick twitched a couple of times. Her boobs weren’t big. Not even close to those of a grown woman. They were pretty small, actually. But they looked perfect on her.

“Oh, wow!” I softly mumbled.

“They’re too small…” Nadia whispered.

“No, they’re not! They’re beautiful!”

I realized my hand had a mind of its own and was moving toward my twitching boner. I kept my eyes glued on her chest as my fingers wrapped themselves around my rock-hard shaft for the second time in under fifteen minutes.

“Really?” she asked, as her eyes followed my hand.

“Oh, yeah…” I whispered as I started jerking away, feeling incredibly horny as I was being watched by my sister.

Nadia’s arms were beside her body by now, and she leaned over a little to get a better look. This made her boobs look even sexier, and I could feel a hint of her breath on my dick and balls.

The level of arousal I was feeling was beyond everything I had ever felt before. Watching real-life boobs, an audience while I was doing something very private and extremely exciting, and the illusion that she could touch my dick again at any moment was all adding up to a boiling point inside my balls.

“Your balls…” Nadia whispered,“ they move while you…”

I could only nod as my fist slid up and down over my over-sensitive dick. The boiling pressure inside kept building, and I knew I wasn’t far off anymore. I was only going at it for a minute or two by now, but it was enough to bring me toward the edge again.

I didn’t see her move since all I was looking at were her sexy-as-hell boobs, but when Nadia’s hand gently cupped my balls, I moaned loudly. Because of the last time she felt me up, Nadia probably knew I was okay because she started to wiggle my balls between her fingers.

“This is amazing…” she softly said

I knew I was done for at that moment. I didn’t care what would happen or what Nadia would think of me. I just needed to cum.

“Ohhh… aaahhh! I’m…” I grunted.

Nadia didn’t respond. But in the corner of my eye, I saw her eyes widen as my dick fattened and my balls pulled up. What happened next was mind-blowing.

Everything before my eyes vanished, and all I could see was a white flash. In that flash, bright sparks of color came and went. But the spasms in my belly and the extremely sensitive tingles in my balls and lower body surpassed these flashes.

The first drop of cum hit me on my forehead. Another record-breaking first spurt again. The second drop landed on my cheek, and the third near my belly button. All my senses were on high alert, and I experienced everything as if it happened in slow motion. Even the nails of my sister’s fingers on my sack were as clear as day, and they barely even touched me.

I panted heavily as I opened my eyes and looked at Nadia’s surprised and flushed face. She was engrossed in what had happened and was checking out my dickhead to see if maybe more came out.

“Ohh… that was… Bisque!” she said as she looked me in my eyes after she realized I was done.

“Yeah… it was. I never shot this far before,” I said, wiping the drop from my cheek.

“Was it because of this?” she coyly said as she played with my balls again.

“Dunno. I guess… but looking at your breasts also helped a lot.”

Nadia scooped up the drop near my belly as she let go of my balls. She didn’t examine it this time but stuck it straight into her mouth.

“I like the taste. Is that weird?”

“I also like the taste. So, I guess it isn’t?”

I felt exposed lying like this, but seeing how Nadia didn’t seem to care anymore that she was naked, I decided not to say anything about it. I was tempted to touch her breasts, but now that my hormones died down, I was too chicken to ask if I could.

Nadia scooped up all the drops of cum on my body and put it in her mouth. Next, she moved over, lay down, and cuddled up against me.

“Let’s sleep, okay? No need for underwear or anything anymore, right?”

“I like how you think,” I replied, glad to sleep naked now and for the opportunity to look at my sister’s incredible body.

After enjoying the feeling of her bare breast against my skin again and the tickling of her pubes against my hip, I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 6 - Departing

I felt a bit disoriented when I woke up. Something was pressing against my side. Something warm and pleasant, but I couldn’t immediately place it. When Nadia softly giggled, I knew she was still cuddled up to me as we fell asleep last night.

“I see you’re up,” she giggled again.

When I realized I wasn’t covered by the blanket and my morning wood twitched, I knew why she giggled.

I had to resist the urge to cover myself, and although it took some effort, I managed. I even flexed my dick a few times to make it twitch again.

“Yeah, well… told you already, can’t help it.”

“I know. It’s just funny to see you like this,” she said. And after a short pause, “Thanks for showing me last night. I’m so glad you’re cool about it!”

“It isn’t THAT big of a deal, is it? With us being brother and sister, I mean.”

I knew it was a big deal and that us being siblings made it an even bigger deal. But I wanted Nadia to think that it made things less weird.

“Yeah. You’re right,” Nadia said after another short pause.

We lay like this for a couple of minutes without saying anything. Occasionally, my dick twitched, and Nadia’s hand rubbed over my chest every now and then.

“Hey! Now I don’t have to hurry. You can go to the bathroom first!” Nadia said excitedly.

“I guess…”

She sat up, giving me another good look at her excellent boobs, and nodded toward the bathroom.

“Mom’s waiting, so we better get going.”

I sighed exaggeratedly, swung my legs out of bed, and got up. My bobbing boner led the way, but I carefully kept my back toward her so she wouldn’t see it and make fun of it. And I didn’t want to overdo it. Yes, she’d seen me jerk myself. Yes, apparently, we sleep in the buff now. But this didn’t mean we’d have to prance around naked in front of each other all the time.

“Nice butt, bro,” she giggled.

“Eat me!” I laughed as I closed the bathroom door.

After Nadia and I were done, we went to Mom and Dad for breakfast. This time, besides Mom, only Ethan was there.

The conversation at the breakfast table eventually turned to the fact that Nadia and I were bored out of our minds.

“Why don’t you two come and help me today? I’ve got two clogged laundry chutes, and they’re way easier to fix with another pair of hands.”

“Can we?” Nadia asked as she looked at Mom.

“Sure! I don't see why not if the team leader says you’re allowed to.”

“Bisque!” I exclaimed, excited by the prospect of doing something different today.

After we helped Mom clear the breakfast table, we headed out to Ethan’s workplace. Turned out that the work wasn’t that exciting. We’d drive around with Ethan on his electric service cart, and every now and then, we’d have to do something.

The laundry chutes were a bit harder to do. Nadia and I each had to stand on a ladder opposite to each other, and we had to lift a lever. That way, Ethan could enter the chute and remove the stuck laundry.

Nadia’s shirt rose up as she pushed the lever, and I got a great look at her tight belly. She saw me looking but didn’t say or do anything. But the moment I realized I was caught looking, I must’ve looked flushed because Nadia started giggling.

During our time with Ethan, he kept asking us things about Laousa. I didn’t think much of that, but Nadia later said he’d probably have a crush on her. I didn’t care. We had a good day with the three of us and had fun together.

After dinner, which was again without Dad, Nadia and I returned to our room. After another movie, Nadia yawned loudly.

“I’m tired. Should we hit the sack?” she asked.

My heartbeat rose because I was curious about what Nadia would do. I felt a stir in my boxers at the thought of seeing her naked again. I quickly diverted my thoughts and thankfully prevented a boner.

“Okay.”

I got up as I always did to let Nadia go to the bathroom to change. This time, however, she hesitated. As I started unbuttoning my pants, she got to her feet and said, “Might as well undress in here, right?”

I started to blush and stammered, “Are we… uhm… like last night?”

“I figured… uhm… yes?” she answered and also started blushing. She quickly added, “If you want to, of course!”

I must’ve looked stupid because she looked at the floor and added, “And if you don’t mind seeing me…”

This was my trigger. I didn’t want Nadia to ever feel bad about herself, “Oh no. I don’t mind seeing you, you know, naked at all! You’re the prettiest girl I know!”

Her eyes widened, and she looked me in my eyes. A smile appeared on her face, and she said, “Cool! Let’s get comfy, then.”

The tension in the air was thick as we both undressed with our backs toward each other. Looking back, I think that was also the reason I didn’t bone up. The moment my boxers hit the floor, and I stood straight, Nadia wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. Her cheek and, more importantly, her boobs were pressed against my back.

“It’s so cool we can do this! I feel like we can talk about anything,” she said softly.

After she broke the hug, she walked over to her side of the bed. Remarkably, I was still soft-ish. As she walked, I looked at her bare back and could only admire her fine ass again.

As I looked, I lifted the blanket and got in bed. It wasn’t that I wanted to hide myself, but I also didn’t want to make a big deal out of this. As I lay down, I tried not to look at her front, but when I saw her, I just had to quickly check out her boobs and the slit between her legs.

Nadia crawled in and also got under the covers. We lay there looking at the ceiling for a couple of minutes in awkward silence when Nadia said, “This will get less awkward after a while, right?”

I looked at her and said, “I’m SO glad you said that! It doesn’t have to and shouldn’t be awkward. But, I mean…”

Nadia looked thoughtfully at me and said, “Why don’t we just push down the blanket and get this over with? We look at each other for a few minutes and get this off our chests.”

This didn’t sound like a bad idea, actually. I figured it was like ripping off a bandage. You just need to do it, deal with the short pain, and you’re done.

I nodded and softly said, “Guess you’re right. We’re gonna be in here for a while, so it has to happen sometime.”

Nadia started sliding down the blanket on her side. I hesitated a microsecond but followed her example. The tension in the air rose as the blanket was around my ankles, and Nadia counted down, “Three, two, one…”

We lifted our heads simultaneously and looked at the other body. I was chubbed up but still not really that hard. But when my eyes roamed openly over my sister’s beautiful body, I felt it starting to rise with each heartbeat.

“It’s, uhm, growing…” Nadia said softly.

“Sorry…”

“Is that because of me?”

I didn’t know what to say but decided to go for broke, so I whispered a soft “Yes.”

“Looks funny as it grows…”

She wasn’t the least bit upset that her brother was boning up over her. And I just couldn’t take my eyes off her body. I boned up completely, and after my dick twitched, Nadia softly said, “You look good, Ay.”

“You too…”

It wasn’t the most tantalizing conversation we were having, but it was more than enough, considering the circumstances. We were quiet for a moment when Nadia asked, “You think we’ve got it covered now?”

“Dunno,” I replied, “I’ll probably still get stiff when I see you, I guess.”

“I don’t mind. I know you can’t control it, and your… looks cool when it’s stiff. I saw it soft for the first time just yet, and that also looks good. So, I really don’t care. As long as we’re not weird about it anymore.”

“Okay. Guess we’re done then.”

Neither of us moved. I kept admiring my sister’s body, and a quick glance at her face showed she was also still checking out my body.

“I, uhm… I really liked it when you showed me yesterday,” Nadia said softly and without looking at me.

I didn’t know how to respond, so I shrugged and said, “No problem.”

Another silence followed, and I could feel the tension rise again. Nadia continued, “Girls also masturbate, you know…”

I looked her in her face, and she was smiling weakly with a flushed face. This came completely out of the left field for me. It never occurred to me that girls, especially Nadia, had the same urges as me. It did make sense, but it just never crossed my mind.

I cleared my throat and said, “Really? I didn’t know that…”

“Yeah… when A’vii’s sister talked to us, she also explained that to us.”

“Cool.”

“It helps with… releasing the, I don’t know, the pressure I feel inside? Sounds stupid, but I don’t know another word for it.”

“No, no. I know exactly what you mean!” I replied, feeling relieved that she had the same feelings as I did.

“You do?”

“Yeah, it’s not just about getting rid of my boner. It also helps me get… less on edge, I guess?”

“Wow…”

“Yeah…”

My heart was beating in my throat. The honesty of both of us felt good. But the subject we were talking about was exciting and forbidden, which made me feel all fuzzy inside.

After the short silence that followed, Nadia softly asked, “Wanna see how I do it?”

Suddenly, all sorts of butterflies were flying not just in my belly but all through my body. Of course, I wanted to see how my sister did it! But I also didn’t want her to feel pressured in any way. But then again, she was the one proposing it. It was all very confusing.

“Sure. If you don’t mind..” I replied a bit casually in an attempt not to sound too eager.

“I think it’s only fair.”

“It isn’t a contest,” I said, looking thoughtfully at her, “you don’t need to do things just because I or someone else did.”

“I know, Dufus!” she replied, looking slightly offended, “I think it’s hot, and I wanna do it.”

“Oh. Well… I uhm… I AM curious how you do it…”

Nadia didn’t waste more words on it. She kept looking at me as her hand slid between her legs. A soft moan came from her mouth as her hand moved.

“You can watch… hmm… closer if you want.”

I couldn’t see much of what her hand was doing, but her whole body language showed she was doing something special. So I sat up straight and scooted over so I was sitting next to her slit.

Nadia looked at me with a flushed face. With her fingers, she parted her slit. My eyes went wide, and my dick twitched violently in my lap. I didn’t have a clue what I was looking at, but it was arousing as hell.

“See this?” Nadia asked. And after I nodded, she touched a dark, pink-ish looking bump at the top of her slit and moaned softly, “This is my feel-good button.”

Her eyes got an unfocused look as her finger kept rubbing gently over that exciting piece of flesh, and Nadia’s breathing became shallower as she kept doing this.

Her lips were still spread, and when her eyes focused on mine again, she surprised me again. Her finger left that feel-good button and moved down between her legs. Her fingertip pressed against a soft spot, and with a hoarse voice, she said, “Watch this…”

Her finger slowly disappeared into her slit. This was the place where my, I mean, a boy’s dick needed to go in. I moved in closer for a better look, and it was by far the hottest thing I ever saw.

“This is my baby hole…”

“Wow…” was all I could say.

“Feels good when I do this,” Nadia said, sliding her finger in and out of her slit.

Her finger was glistening, and an intoxicating smell filled my nostrils. My hand gripped my dick and squeezed it to get rid of the building pressure.

Nadia noticed and whispered, “You can also… do… ohhh…” as she looked at my dick.

I sat back on my feet, eyes glued to the action between my sister’s legs, and slowly started beating off.

Nadia was breathing heavily as her finger moved back to the bump, and her eyes focused on my moving fist. I only had eyes for the action between her legs and occasionally glanced at her boobs.

We masturbated like this for a minute or so when I felt the point of no return was approaching. I didn’t know how close Nadia was, but despite this being the first time I saw her do this, her body language was clear as day.

Her hips moved a lot, sloppy sounds came from between her legs, and she was moaning almost constantly.

“I’m… ohh… close…” she groaned.

“Me… too…”

“NNGGHHSSS!!!” Nadia hissed.

Her muscles contracted, and her body shook, as her hand wasn’t moving and her eyes were closed shut. Seeing how my sister had her orgasm pushed me immediately over the edge. I felt the spurts leave my dick, and I didn’t think about how the drops of my cum landed on her body.

I only had eyes for her naked body and shooting my load. As I started to come down from my orgasm and looked at my sister, she was shaking again as her other hand rubbed through a glob of my sperm.

I was amazed by how long her orgasm lasted. As the last drop dribbled out of my dick and I regained my breath, Nadia smiled weakly at me.

“That was hot!”

I could only nod and lay down next to my sister. I lay on my side, facing her, and noticed two drops of my sperm on her lower body. I couldn’t deny that this was hot as hell. I never intended to do this, but it gave me a deep feeling of pride.

Nadia wiped my cum off her body with her fingers. She wiped some of it on the blanket, and some went into her mouth.

“Your orgasms last a lot longer than mine,” I said softly.

“Uhm… I had two,” she giggled.

“Two!? No way!”

“I swear!”

“I didn’t know that was possible,” I said.

After a moment, Nadia said, “Me neither. And I was close to a third.”

“Damn! You did look like you had fun,” I chuckled.

“I, uhm… it was hot knowing you were watching. Is that weird?” Nadia asked, looking insecure.

“No. Not at all. I had exactly the same yesterday when you were watching me.”

“Cool.”

Nadia cuddled up to me, and we pulled up the blanket. We lay there for a while when Nadia said, “I’m glad I don’t have to find a solution for getting myself off anymore. Maybe it’s a twin thing, but I like how we managed to fix this.”

“Yeah. We’re amazing,” I smiled.

“I think I can sleep now,” she said, yawning loudly to prove her point.

* * *

The blanket decently hid my morning wood from view when I woke the following morning. Nadia had moved during the night and was snoring lightly next to me. Her arms were above her head, and her upper body was exposed from the waist up.

I loved the way she looked in the dim light of the room. I didn’t feel bad about checking out her boobs anymore, and they fascinated me immensely.

I didn’t want to wake her, so I decided to stay in bed and let my thoughts wander around. Seeing her exposed boobs brought me back to the training facility on Earth.

We came out of the dressing rooms simultaneously again during the second training day, and the hard nipples couldn’t be missed in her suit. She looked embarrassed at me, obviously realizing her situation.

I felt sorry for her and tried not to look. So I shrugged, smiled weakly, and gestured toward my groin. A weak smile appeared on her face, and she simply nodded. I opened the door to the training room, and we were up for another session.

During this session, we used the entire space suit for the first time. It took a little getting used to, but after a couple of tries, we were starting to get the hang of it.

“You guys are killing it!” Senii excitedly said and gave us both a high-five after we completed another task.

“It isn’t that hard,” Nadia said with a huge grin plastered across her face.

“Yes, it is! And you two are OWNING it!” Senii exclaimed, “You’re way faster than anyone I ever had in here before.

I had to admit that I felt a sense of pride wash over me. Maybe she did this with all her students, but I didn’t care. This worked for me, and I was motivated to the bone to keep going. At the end of the session, Senii was still pretty worked up about our progress, so I decided to go for broke.

We had taken off our space suits, and while Senii was helping my sister, I walked over to the exoskeleton suit. “Can I try this one?” I asked.

“Uhm…” Senii thought about it for a few seconds and said, “You know… Why not? It’s a nice reward for all the hard work you've put into training so far.”

“Bisque!”

Nadia didn’t have the same attraction to the exo-suit as I had. According to her, it was just another suit. But judging by the stories Ethan had told me, it was way cooler. Because of the exoskeleton, you could lift hundreds, even thousands of pounds with this suit. And if you used it correctly, you could even jump really high and run very fast.

“Take it easy,” Senii said as she tweaked things on her tablet, “Now, try to lift your arms.”

At first, it felt like I had to lift something really heavy. But after Senii changed a couple of things, it was as if I was wearing the regular space suit. Senii pressed another button on her tablet, and on the far side of the room, a wall slid into the floor, giving us access to some sort of storage space.

“Grab that block of concrete over there,” Senii instructed.

The massive block of concrete she was pointing at looked really heavy. A thrill shot through me when I was allowed to test the suit in a real-life situation.

After I walked over there and picked it up, it was as if I lifted a bag of groceries. I felt there was weight, but it wasn’t heavy or anything.

“Wow! That’s over five thousand pounds of concrete!” Nadia said excitedly.

I could also read the sign on the side of the block, but I could still hardly believe it either.

I trained a bit more with the suit, but eventually, we had to call it a day. The rest of the training days were rough. It was a lot to handle, and a lot of rules had to be learned.

Finaly, it was the evening before our written exam. After my shower, I put on my usual lounge clothes, which consisted of black sweats and a white T-shirt.

Nadia asked me to come to her room to study together. I wasn’t really nervous about the exam, but I could understand why Nadia was. She wasn’t bad at learning, quite the opposite actually, but she was afraid that because of her, the move would have to be postponed or even canceled.

So, if I could help her by studying together, it would make her feel better, and I could spend more time with her. It also was a small effort for me, and it wouldn’t hurt to reread everything.

I knocked on her door, and as I fiddled with the books I was carrying, Nadia said through the door, “One sec.”

I heard some ruffling, and a moment later, her door opened. My heart skipped a beat when I looked at my twin sister. She stood before me in just her black bra and matching panties. There was a lot of lace on her underwear, and it looked sexy as hell on her. The contrast of the black fabric with her pale skin was stunning.

“I uhh… I can come back in a minute if you need more time,” I croaked.

“No, silly! Come on in,” she said as if it was normal to walk around in her underwear in front of me.

As she walked over to her closet, I noticed how a bit of her right ass cheek peeked out of her panties. There was movement in my own underwear after seeing her like this, and I quickly made it over to her desk and sat down to hide my possible embarrassment.

She grabbed an oversized T-shirt and threw it over her head. It was barely long enough to cover her crotch and ass, but apparently, she figured it was fine.

“Thanks for doing this,” she chirped as she sat down on the bed before me.

She sat down Indian style, giving me another clear view of her panties. And because of the wide neck on her shirt, one shoulder was completely visible, showing the small bra strap that occasionally sank down her arm.

I was distracted a lot during our study time, but I did everything I could to hide this from her. My dick stayed mostly soft, and although I saw her taking glances at my crotch a couple of times, I don’t think she noticed.

The next morning, it was exam day. Our whole family, all five of us walked through the hallway toward the room, the tension thick in the air. When we entered the exam room, Nadia took my hand and squeezed it softly. I looked at her and smiled a nervous smile, which she returned.

Turned out that we nailed it. Mom scored worst, followed by Ethan. But Dad, Nadia, and I each had the perfect score.

Later that evening, we celebrated together with a family dinner in a nearby restaurant. We did have mixed feelings about it, though, and a weird vibe hung over the evening. On the one hand, we were glad that nothing stood in our way anymore, but on the other hand, we’d have to say goodbye to our close friends and relatives.

Turned out we only had two days to say goodbye to everyone. These were two jam-packed days with lots of emotions, goodbyes, and tears. I didn’t have a real best friend; I just had some guys I hung out with at school. Saying goodbye to them wasn’t an enjoyable experience. I hated it, of course, but I wasn’t too upset about it either.

Nadia, on the other hand, was devastated after she said goodbye to A’vii. She cried all the time, and I had to comfort her all the way back to the facility. Mom didn’t look overly happy when she said her goodbyes to her friends, but she hardly cried.

Everyone was quiet when we arrived at the facility for our last night on Earth. The mood was eerie and far from happy. Dad tried when we went to bed when he said, “Cheer up, everyone! We’re going on an adventure.”

Only weak smiles and nods came his way, and we each went into our room. Nadia came with me.

“Can I hang with you for a little while?” she asked.

“Sure.”

We sat in my room for about half an hour. We didn’t talk much and just enjoyed each other’s company. When Nadia got up and went to her room, she said, “Thanks for being there for me today. I hope I’ll feel a little better tomorrow.”

“Don’t sweat it. And you’ll be fine. I promise.”

As we boarded the transporter that would take us to the Zephyr, everyone’s mood had changed. Excitement hung in the air, and even Nadia smiled a lot.

We had practiced this a lot in the simulator, but when the boosters ignited and the pressure on our bodies grew as we went higher and higher, it was like nothing a simulator could prepare you for.

The ship shook violently, and the noise was overwhelming. Nadia grabbed my hand and squeezed it after we heard a loud bang. The pilot assured us everything was fine, but it was still a hell of a ride. The contrast of the loudness against the serene quietness of space couldn’t be bigger. The moment we became weightless, the noise was gone.

Nadia looked at me, and as we continued our journey toward the ship, the pilot said this was one of the smoothest rides he had so far. Nadia’s eyes widened as he said this, and we both giggled at that.

“There’s the ship,” Nadia said after about an hour of doing nothing.

She was sitting by the window, and I leaned over to look. Not too far away was the ship that would take us to another world.

It looked dark and spooky as we approached it. The huge back looked like a giant cigar with a big, bulky midsection where the tanks were. The front of the ship almost looked stitched-on, as it was only connected to the back by a few small tube-like pieces that looked like hallways from here.

It consisted of an arrow-shaped center with two big rings around it. These rings were behind each other and were connected to each other and the central arrow by small tubes. If you squinted your eyes, these rings looked a little like a pearl necklace. The pearls were the cabins where people would live and go into sus, and the chains between them were the hallways connecting them.

From the arrow in the middle, a gigantic antenna pointed forward. A blob-like globe at the end of the antenna radiated a blue glow.

“There’s the MPD,” Nadia said as she pointed at the globe.

I nodded, amazed at its small size, considering it was about to bend time and space. It would propel us to near-light speed and open the tunnel. When Senii explained it to us, she made two comparisons.

One was with two dots at each end of a piece of paper. She’d fold the paper in half and stick a pen through both holes. This was what the tunnel would do for us, and we would travel through that ‘pen’ to the other side.

The other one was how we thought we’d travel in a straight line when we drove on Earth from one point to another. But in fact, this wasn’t a straight line. You were actually moving in a curved line because of the globe you were driving on. This same principle happens in space. You can’t see it, but there’s a more effective way to travel. The Musk Propulsion Drive, or MPD, solves both of these issues, which makes traveling long distances through space in a short time possible.

The only downside of the system is that humans, or any living being for that matter, need to be dead in order to be able to travel. So when Xi-ping invented the Suspension pods that could stop all bodily functions and restart them after a while, without actually killing people, traveling to deep space became possible.

“Looks cool, huh?” Mom said as she also looked at the MPD.

“Yeah,” I answered, “You can see it’s already starting because of that blue glow.”

“The ship is even bigger than I expected,” Nadia said.

“Thank god for fabrication bots,” Mom laughed.

“Prepare for boarding,” the pilot said over the radio, and we sat back in our seats and fastened our seatbelts.

After the clunky sound when the connection was made, the door opened, and Dad entered the Zephyr. The rest of us followed, and after entering the artificial gravity of the spinning ring with the living quarters, we found our hut.

We didn’t have much time to spare, so Mom started preparing the sus pods while we looked at Earth through the window.

“It looks fantastic from up here,” Nadia almost whispered.

“It’s almost unbelievable we’re never gonna see it again,” I responded, equally impressed.

A feeling of doubt and sadness washed over me as we looked at the planet that gave us life for the last time. Did we make the right decision? What if anything went wrong? What if Aetheria wasn’t that great after all?

“She’s beautiful, right?” Dad said as he put a hand on our shoulders, “but, uhm… it’s time to go into sus now.”

I nodded, and as Dad closed the shutters, we walked over to the suspension pods in the corner of the room. Nadia had the corner pod, I had the one next to her, and Ethan had the one on the other side of me.

“Strange idea we’re gonna die in that thing,” Nadia said as she undressed.

I tried not to look, but when she dropped her pants and her panties and crop top were left, I had to check her out.

“Well… technically, we’re dead, yes. But with the use of…”

“Don’t, Ay! I was making a joke,” Nadia said, looking nervous.

“Sorry…” I mumbled as I dropped my pants and stood in my boxers and T-shirt.

I was glad I hadn’t popped a boner from looking at Nadia in her underwear. I was a little used to it by now, but I still had to stay focused when it happened.

“Alright, guys,” Mom said as she opened the pods, “It’s time.”

We all hugged each other, and I got comfortable in my pod. Mom gave me a kiss on my forehead, and before I knew it, everything turned black. My arms and legs started to tremble, and it was like my body was shutting down, which it basically did. I didn’t know what to expect, but this wasn’t bad at all. If dying for real was anything like this, it would be okay.

* * *

Beside me, Nadia started moving. She was waking up, and I loved the little sounds and whimpers that came with it. She yawned loudly as she stretched her body. I didn’t feel the need to hide the fact that I was checking out her chest.

With her body stretched like this, her small boobs were almost gone. But that ‘almost’ part of it was fantastic! Her small nipples were pointy, and I could count her ribs. Her skin was flawless, and her belly was tight.

“Morning…” she grumbled and lay her hands behind her head, not bothering to cover up.

“Morning! Sleep well?”

“Like a baby!” she said excitedly, “It was good to, you know… before falling asleep. It always makes me sleep better.”

“Same here!” I said, feeling only a mild apprehension to talk about this subject with my twin sister.

We were quiet for a moment when Nadia asked, “Wanna do it again?”

“Uhm… Dunno… do you?”

“We’ve still got time, so…” Nadia said with a coy smile, and her hand sneaked under the blanket a heartbeat later.

She did have a point here. And I was already a bit in the mood by looking at her exposed chest. But then again, I was always in the mood in the morning.

So I didn’t need any more encouragement and slid my hand under the covers to grab my boner. As I started sliding up and down, I felt the blanket rub against my dick. I didn’t like it, and I started kicking down the blanket without even thinking about it.

I exposed the both of us this way, but neither of us seemed to care. My eyes did fly toward my sister's hand between her legs, and by the slight turn of her head, I knew she was looking at me.

We each did our thing. It was hot doing this side by side. Nadia occasionally let out a soft moan, and so did I. But other than that, we were quiet.

As my eyes drank in the sight of her beautiful body, I felt my balls tingle. I wasn’t cumming yet, but I knew that if I picked up the pace now, I’d cum in a heartbeat.

“Hmmm…” Nadia purred, “I’m getting, aahhh… close. You?”

“Almost…” I groaned and started picking up the pace.

I started going for it, and before I knew it, my balls tingled and pulled up in my sack. In the corner of my eye, it looked as if Nadia slowed down. But I was too far gone by now to let this sink in.

I went over the cliff, and I firmly gripped my dick at the base as I felt the cum leave my balls and enter my dick. A heartbeat later, drops of cum splattered on my body. It wasn’t as intense as the first time that Nadia looked, but I still managed one drop to land on my neck.

I grunted deeply as I came, and Nadia’s soft, low moans beside me indicated that she was also cumming. A drop of cum dribbled down my shaft and onto my fingers, but it felt good to lay like this with my hard dick obscenely pointing upward and showing it off.

“That was good,” Nadia sighed as I was still recovering.

I looked over at her and saw she was checking out my dick. It was still pointing up because of the way I held it in my fist, and I felt proud she was checking it out. It was deflating slowly by now, and I let go of it.

Nadia’s eyes went up to meet mine, and she smiled warmly. She didn’t look embarrassed, uneasy, bashful, or anything for being caught looking, and I was actually glad she wasn’t. It was great to be this open to each other, and after all these times of admiring her from a distance and seeing her in her underwear and stuff, it was great to see her for all she was worth and not feel awkward or embarrassed about it.

“I’ll shower first, okay?” I said as I didn’t want to waste too many words on what we did together.

“Sure!” Nadia said.

Before I could get up, she gave me a peck on my cheek. In return, I gave her a peck on her forehead because a kiss on her lips would be weird. As I walked toward the bathroom, Nadia giggled and said again, “Nice butt, bro.”

I couldn’t suppress a giggle at that, but I needed to find a thing like this that I could use on her. During my shower, I thought about it but couldn’t come up with anything.

After enjoying the privilege of watching Nadia get dressed again, we headed over to the family room.

Chapter 7 – The trip

“Really?” I asked, hoping Dad wasn’t joking this time.

“I’m serious, Aidan. You’re allowed to go with Ethan and do a check on the terraforming compound.”

“What about me?” Nadia asked.

“The three of you will head out in an hour or two, so you can be back before it gets dark,” Dad said and looked at Nadia and me.

Ethan stood smiling behind Dad and couldn’t hide his excitement either. Nadia hugged Dad and said, “Thanks! This is gonna be great!”

Dad gently pushed Nadia away and looked sternly at us, “You have to listen to Ethan! He’s in charge, and you’ll listen to him no matter what! Agree?”

“Sure!” Nadia said.

“Of course,” I replied.

“I’m serious! This is no school field trip. It can be dangerous out there, so be careful!”

“I know, Dad! We’ve aced the security exams, remember?” I said.

“I know. But still… This is no joke, and I don’t want anything to happen to you.”

“Meet me in garage four in half an hour, okay?” Ethan said with a smug face.

He probably enjoyed being in charge, but I didn’t care. We were going to go outside and about to do some real exploring. That was more important than setting my brother straight. Nadia looked all hyped during the rest of breakfast, and I also had a hard time staying cool about it.

“Be careful out there. Don’t do anything stupid, and stay together, okay?” Mom said with a bit of a worried look on her face.

“Don’t worry, Mom,” Nadia said, “with Ethan and Aidan around for the muscles and me for the brains, nothing can go wrong. Right?”

Mom laughed, gave each of us a peck on our forehead, and kept looking at us as we waited for the elevator. As we were heading up to the ground level, Nadia said, “Why are they so worried? It’s not like we’re a bunch of morons!”

“Remember our school trip to San Angeles? It was exactly the same. And there were lots of teachers going with us! So I guess this reaction isn’t that bad.”

Nadia chuckled and nodded. “Guess you’re right,” she said, and the elevator doors opened.

We were standing in the inside part of the garage. In the corner, the giant vehicle airlock led to the outside part of the garage where suits were needed. According to the signs above the door, the entrance to the human airlock was in the other corner.

“There’s Ethan,” Nadia said and pointed to a group of people.

“Hey, guys!” Ethan said as we approached him. “We’re taking the big rover-explorer today. Cool, huh?”

“Neat!” I said and looked at the big vehicle we were standing next to.

It had huge wheels. They were a little bigger than my brother and had these tractor-like grooves for grip. The white cabin could seat six persons and also had a small cargo bay at the back. The cabin had about forty inches of clearance from the ground.

It was by far the most versatile explorer vehicle on the planet. Its fusion-powered power source could last years on one charge, and because of the six big wheels of which the front and back could steer, it was agile and could conquer almost every terrain.

“Well… you know the drill…” Ethan said after an awkward silence, “Go change into your suit and exit through the airlock. I’ll make sure the vehicle goes through. I’ll see you on the other side.”

“He looks nervous,” Nadia said as we headed over to the airlock.

“Yeah. Guess his first, real mission gets under his skin. Let’s be helpful, okay?”

“We’ll see…” Nadia said, smiling.

“Be nice… He could’ve taken other guys instead of us.”

“Don’t worry. Of course, I won’t bug him! Do you think I wanna get stuck inside from now on because of some stupid prank or something?”

“Cool,” I said and opened the door to the changing room, “See you in a sec.”

Being naked in a place I didn’t know was still weird, but I was slowly getting used to it. I dropped my clothes in the designated locker, and after I closed it, it disappeared into the wall where the storage bots would take care of it.

After I grabbed the small suit, I went to the airlock. The transparent, vault-like revolving door opened as I approached, and I entered the tight space of the airlock. I realized it was smaller than I expected inside the lock as the door closed behind me.

A light indicated I should hold my breath. The space was filled with white, warm, misty air a moment later. After a couple of seconds, it vanished through gaps in the floor. After the cleaning was done, a red, horizontal laser stripe went from top to bottom over my body.

After the scanner was done, a green light lit up, and the door on the other side opened. I held my breath, grabbed one of the portable oxygen masks, and put it over my face. There was a sign stating I should now put the undersuit on. Near the exit door was a bench, where I put it on. After this, I entered the second airlock. This second lock wasn’t there for decontamination like the first one but just to keep the bad air out of the compound. Therefore, it was less advanced and less cramped. I just had to wait for old air to go out and new air to come in.

We came out of the second airlock simultaneously and headed over to the changing room where we could change into our space suits. My eyes roamed over my sister’s body as we walked, and despite seeing her in this outfit numerous times and even seeing her naked, I was still fascinated immensely by how she looked.

She walked in front of me, and watching her ass move as she walked, was hypnotizing. When we got to the suits, she caught me looking but didn’t say or do anything. I felt I was blushing heavily, but she just smiled coyly as we got into our suits.

“Checking coms,” I said after we were suited up.

“Coms okay. Checking uplink,” Nadia replied.

After I heard the beep that confirmed our suits were connected, I gave her the thumbs up, and we headed to the outside door.

“Nervous?” I asked as we stood there, waiting for the door to open.

“A little. But mostly excited. You?”

“The same. It’s a long drive to the site, and I don’t know what to expect along the way. I’ll probably be taking a lot of pictures, that’s for sure.”

After the door opened, I exited the base for the very first time. The realization that I was walking on a remote planet was overwhelming and gave me goosebumps all over.

Nadia was right behind me, and over the coms, I heard her say, “Wow…” which was also a good representation of how I felt.

For a moment, I was at a loss for words and had to take it all in. The view of the horizon, the slightly different air color, the lack of birds in the sky, the white instead of the yellow sun. Everything was so different, and seeing it in real life instead of pictures or from the control tower hit me hard.

“Pretty amazing, huh?” Ethan said, and I looked behind me.

He walked over to us with a massive grin on his face. He stood between Nadia and me and put his arms around our shoulders.

“You’ll never forget your first time, but it gets me every time I get out here.”

“It’s awesome!” I said excitedly.

“Yeah!” Nadia added.

“Let’s get going. We’ve got a long day ahead of us.”

“We’re just driving. It’s not like we have to launch into space,” I said.

“Yeah. But along the way, I have to check a couple of things. And we don’t know what we’ll find at the site.”

We entered the rover, and as I sat down, I was amazed at how much space we had inside. In the front, there was a single driver seat. Behind that, three rows of each two seats. If we wanted, there could be two more rows, but they were taken out, and now a couple of big crates were there. And behind the wall in the back was an even bigger storage space.

“What’s in the back?” I asked as Ethan was powering up the rover.

“Nothing much. An exo-suit, oxygen, two generators, and a couple of spare parts for the CPU in the terraforming site we might need.”

“You know the way?” Nadia asked, eager to go.

“Really!?” Ethan said, acting offended but smiling broadly. “Of course I do!”

“Let’s roll!” I said with an equally big grin.

The rover started moving, and a thrill of excitement shot through me. I knew Ethan had lots of experience in the simulator and did a few real-life runs over here, so he knew what he was doing. I knew Dad wouldn’t let us go otherwise, so I smiled at my sister and took in the scenery as we left home base behind.

Despite the bumpy terrain, the ride was comfortable. After about five minutes, Ethan stopped. He opened his door and said, “Be right back. Just changing the batteries of the guidance light.”

I watched Ethan grab a battery from the storage compartment behind us, and he walked over to the light beside the dirt path that we called the road. Nadia showed me her control pad, and it showed Ethan’s vitals. He had a higher heart rate and elevated blood pressure, which were the telltale signs that he was nervous.

Nadia smiled at me, and after Ethan retook the wheel, she said, “You’re really good at this, Ethan. You’re sure this is just your fourth time?”

“Thanks!” Ethan said, “Yep! Fourth time for real. And a lot of sim work, of course.”

“Bisque,” Nadia said, and I could already see Ethan’s heart slow down a little.

The view outside changed as we drove further. The rocks got pointier and higher. The mountainsides were almost vertical now, but there was still grass and moss on the bottom.

Ethan stopped to change the battery every five minutes in the lights beside the road. We started calling them streetlights, which made Ethan laugh.

“Just two more left, guys,” Ethan said as we drove off again.

“What’s that?” I asked as I saw a narrow passage approaching.

“That’s the Antelope narrow. It’s called that way because the stones in this narrow are almost the same color as the famous canyon back on Earth.”

“Looks impressive,” Nadia said.

“It’s thirty feet wide, about five hundred feet high, and almost a mile long.”

“And we need to go through it?”

“It’s the shortest way. We can go around it, but that’ll take at least another four hours. And don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe!”

Driving through this canyon did look impressive. The colors were magnificent, and the high walls on each side gave it a bit of a claustrophobic vibe.

“This is cool,” Nadia softly said beside me.

“Yeah… You can’t find places like this on Earth. And after this canyon, it’s a straight shot to the terra site.”

We drove for a couple of more minutes. We were moving slowly, but it was fast enough, considering the terrain. Ethan stopped at the next light and did his thing again. Nadia was looking at her coms, and I checked what Ethan was doing. He had to climb on a small boulder to reach the light. The front door was closed, which was the first time he had done this. I guessed he was getting fed up with Nadia’s constant whining about the wind. I was starting to get bored by all this, bummed out by the lack of action during the trip. I wanted to check out the site and see what was wrong there.

And that’s when disaster struck…

The rover started shaking violently, and I thought for a second that Ethan had pressed some wrong button or something. But when I saw my brother fall to the floor a heartbeat later and heard his groan over the radio when he hit the ground, I instantly knew it was bad.

“EARTHQUAKE!” Nadia shouted.

An ear-shattering crack sounded, and pieces of rock were flying around the rover. Before I knew it, the rover sank to the ground, and all windows were covered by metal shutters that came out of the top and bottom of every window.

“We’re cocooning!” I said, remembering this from training.

Cocooning is an automatic feature of every vehicle. It creates the safest possible environment for the humans inside. In the case of a rover, it gets low to the ground, with an air cushion below to dampen the blows it gets. Every weak point, like windows, is covered with the most robust materials, and the air inside is filtered and reused in case of external fire or gasses.

“ETHAN!” Nadia shouted.

We heard another low grunt over the radio. Nadia looked panicked at me, and I knew we had to do something. So I reached for the door to open it, but an annoying buzz reminded me that opening the door during cocooning wasn’t possible for obvious reasons. I was looking frantically for a solution when I heard Ethan say, “OH SHI-!“ over the loud noises of falling rocks on the rover.

The beep in my ear, combined with Ethan’s voice being cut off, made my blood run cold. I checked the pad on my wrist, and it confirmed my fear. Ethan’s vital signs were gone. No heartbeat, no breathing, but still a normal core temperature. Oh no…

“ETHAN!!” Nadia screamed.

She looked questioningly at me, and tears started forming in her eyes. I felt myself tear up, and my mind was blank. I wanted to do something, but because of the constant shaking of the rover and the idea my brother was dead, I couldn’t think of anything.

“I… I need to help him!” I shouted and moved my hand to the door handle.

“You can’t! We… he’s…”

“But what if he’s-“ I said, cut off by the sudden calmness as the rover stopped shaking.

There was an eerie silence now that the earthquake had stopped. Only two or three small rocks fell on the roof of the rover. But other than that, it was quiet.

“Surroundings are safe. Resuming normal operation,” a female voice said.

The rover moved up, and the windows opened again. I immediately opened the door and stepped outside.

“Wait here,” I said to my sister.

I expected her to object, but I could see her nod inside her helmet, and she looked terrified. I didn’t know what to expect outside, but the primal urge to protect my sister told me to do this alone. When I stepped out of the rover, I saw small rocks everywhere. Where the road was clear of debris when we drove here, now it looked like a rough gravel path. Nothing the rover couldn’t handle, but it would slow us down considerably.

Near the edges of the canyon, there were several big rocks. Some were bigger than our rover, some were man-sized, and everything in between. When I looked at the direction we were coming from, I realized we had been very fortunate. Just a couple of feet behind the rover lay a big rock twice the size of the rover. If this thing had hit us, Nadia and I would’ve been squashed like bugs.

This all happened in seconds as I tried to assess the situation and look for my brother. I walked over toward the spot where I last saw him, and as I approached it, my heart sank, and I knew I didn’t have a brother anymore.

Two gigantic rocks were lying at the bottom, and the step Ethan had stood on to change the battery was gone. The place on the ground where his body should be was covered with bigger and smaller rocks, with the two big ones side by side.

I couldn’t see his body, but when I looked a bit further to my right, I saw Ethan’s helmet lying there with a broken visor and a big dent in it. I was glad I couldn’t see his body because I knew then and there that this wouldn’t be pretty. But he was undeniably dead, that much was certain.

This realization didn’t hit me as deeply as I expected. I felt an incredible sadness and emptiness, but I also knew I had to act to keep myself and my sister safe. There just wasn’t time to mourn now. I dragged myself back to the rover to bring Nadia the bad news. When I stepped back in, Nadia must’ve read my body language because she started crying the moment she saw me.

“Oh, Ay! Is he really?” she cried as she threw herself at me.

“Yes. It’s…” I managed before I started crying myself.

We cried in each other’s arms for a few moments. A loud cracking sound outside the rover brought me back to my senses, and I gently broke the hug.

“We need to get out of here,” I said softly.

Nadia sniffed, and I could see her nod. I knew that getting out of here would be difficult, and time wasn’t on our side. There could be an aftershock at any moment. At least on Earth, aftershocks were common. I didn’t know if it was common over here, but I didn’t want to take the chance.

I sat in the driver’s seat and pressed the radio button. The light turned green, and I said, “This is rover D7 for Base. Come in Base.”

I waited about half a minute and repeated this. But we didn’t get a response. After the third time, I got out, stood at the door opening, and checked the roof. The radio antenna was crushed, which explained that.

“We can’t get hold of the base. The antenna is crushed, and our coms aren’t powerful enough to reach that far.”

“Shit!” Nadia exclaimed, “That’s bad. Now what?”

“I think we’ve got two options. Push on or go back to Base. What do you think?” I asked.

Nadia thought about it briefly and said, “Back to Base. It’s our best shot, and they can go and get Eth-“

She sniffed and sucked in a breath, and I felt a lump in my throat that I had to swallow down. Heading back was also my first option, so we didn’t have to debate that one.

We got out of the rover and checked out the road. As I noticed earlier, a huge boulder blocked the way back almost completely. There was a small gap beside it, but there was no way the rover could get through that.

“Well… that isn’t an option,” Nadia said.

“We can walk,” I said, but I wasn’t overly thrilled about that idea.

We walked to the front of the rover, and that part of the road was still relatively clear. There was nothing there that the rover couldn’t handle.

Nadia looked at me and asked, “Pushing through to the terra site?”

“Guess so. We know there’s a radio over there. We just need to find a way to fix it, but we’ve got the spare parts for that.”

“And what if the site isn’t there anymore? We don’t know what to expect,” Nadia said.

“I think it’s our best shot. Yes, there is a chance that it’s gone, but it’s slim. To get back to the main base, we’ll have to walk, which will take us hours. If we have to, we can always drive back here and walk. But if the terra site is still intact, we’ll have a roof over our heads and a good chance of reaching the main base. I’ll say we take the chance.”

Nadia nodded and said, “Good point. Let’s go!”

I got into the driver’s seat again and started the rover. Nadia closed the door and got into her seat. I pressed the pedal, and off we went. I took another quick glance at Ethan’s helmet and promised myself to ensure his body was retrieved and that he’d receive a proper funeral. But for now, we had to think about ourselves. We rounded the corner that marked the end of the canyon. But right at the back of it, an enormous boulder blocked the road.

“Fuck!” I mumbled.

“Now what?” Nadia said a bit glumly.

We could clearly see the giant towers from the terraforming installation now. It was just a mile or two ahead of us. Maybe three.

I stopped in front of the rock and tried to push it out of the way with the rover.

The rover wasn’t equipped for this, so immediately, an alarm sounded, and the gas pedal stopped working. I backed up a little and looked at my twin sister.

“Three miles is doable, right?” I asked.

“I don’t know. With these suits, it’ll feel like ten miles. But if we have to…”

I knew she was right. It would be difficult to pull it off. But we also might need the stuff we brought with us from the rover, so I really wanted to take it with us. I thought about it for a few moments when an idea hit.

“I can wear the exo suit and take care of the rock,” I said excitedly.

Nadia wasn’t as excited as I was, but she didn’t immediately dismiss the idea either. She looked thoughtfully at me and asked, “It’s in the back, right?”

We got out, and I opened the storage compartment. Nadia checked the suit and prepared it for me to wear. We didn’t say much to each other. We knew what had to be done. The moment it was time for my oxygen to be cut off, I took a deep breath.

After I dropped my top and helmet, I stood there in my socks and undersuit. It was weird to be standing unprotected outside, but Nadia had prepared well, and within a minute, I had the top and helmet back on and could breathe again without being afraid of clogging my lungs.

“You get behind the wheel and drive through as soon as the road is free.”

Nadia did just that, and as I checked my suit’s settings, I walked up to the rock. As I stood in front of it, a sense of power washed over me. With this suit, I was almost a superhero.

So, after Nadia said she was ready, I grabbed the rock and lifted it. It was as if I lifted a bag of groceries. I turned so I faced the side of the road and took a step. There was a great spot to put the rock, and it wouldn’t bother us anymore if it was there. I just had to lift it a tiny bit higher.

Behind me, Nadia pulled through with the rover and said we were good. I was almost finished here, but just when I lifted the rock that final tiny bit, an alarm sounded in my ear. A fraction of a second later, an unbelievable pain shot through my arms.

I screamed loudly, and when I looked down, my underarms had a very unnatural downward bend in them. The alarm kept sounding in my ear, and I felt I was about to pass out.

“Ay!” Nadia shouted as she ran toward me.

She caught me just in time as my knees were getting weak. She supported me as we stumbled toward the rover. She sat me down at the door opening, and I could see her worried look.

“You… your suit has snapped and… your arms…”

I avoided looking down, but I had to know if I still had my arms, so I checked them. Seeing how my arms were pointed downward, I was glad I still had arms.

“Let’s hope there’s a working med pod in the terra site. Lie down,” Nadia said as she helped me inside.

I lay on my back, feeling lightheaded. I slipped in and out of consciousness during the ride. During one of the moments I was awake, I heard my sister grumble and curse under her breath. I didn’t know what it was, and I was out again. I felt myself drift back to the land of the living again, and when I saw my sister’s face above me, I felt a little better.

“Your undersuit is ensuring your pain and blood pressure are controlled. I’ll set it to maximum painkilling so we can remove the suits and get you inside. Okay?”

I nodded, and after she pressed some buttons on her wrist pad, I almost immediately felt no more pain. I couldn’t use my arm, but Nadia helped me to my feet, and we headed to the entrance of the terra site.

We entered the outer airlock, and I was glad everything seemed okay with the building. There was power, the control systems worked, and we were able to go inside. This was a huge plus. Despite my situation, I realized we were lucky.

“Sit down,” Nadia said, and she helped me on the chair.

I watched her as she got out of her space suit, and as she hung it on a hook, I checked out her ass again. Even now, I had to admire how she looked. I just couldn’t help myself.

“Now, let’s get you out of this and get inside,” Nadia said after she turned around, with her hard nipples trying to push through her undersuit.

She started with my helmet and smiled at my roaming eyes but didn’t say anything. She used the rarely used feature of the exo-suit, where the arms, front and backside disconnected. It wasn’t easy to put these back together, so people hardly ever used this feature.

Nadia placed the front and back parts of the suit aside and looked at my still-covered arms.

“I’m gonna have to cut these open,” she said, grabbing the emergency kit from the wall.

Moments later, the plasma cutter beeped, and before I knew it, my arms were freed from the suit. I looked at my underarms and saw the bones in both of them were broken, but I couldn’t feel anything due to the painkillers. My skin was red and bruised, but no bones stuck out or anything. I tried moving my fingers, and thankfully, they still worked.

“This looks bad, Ay.”

“I know… but…”

Nadia grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the sleeves of my arms open toward my neck. This way, the upper part of the undersuit fell open, and I could feel my body react. The suit had stopped working now, and I could feel my arms starting to throb. I was also getting a bit lightheaded and could now only hope for a med pod. Nadia took a tube from the medkit and pressed it hard on my upper leg. The sting of the needle was briefly there, but I could almost immediately feel the warmth of this painkiller as it entered my body.

“Ready?” Nadia asked.

I nodded, and Nadia started taking off her undersuit. No matter how lightheaded I was, looking at her exposed body was still a feast for my eyes. As her slit came into view, my dick rose in my pants, but I didn’t care. Nadia had seen me naked and hard before, and I knew now she didn’t mind too much either. That helped with making it a lot less awkward.

She threw her suit in the corner and helped me to my feet. As she pulled down my suit and my hard dick popped up, she asked with a bit of amusement in her voice, “Really? You’ve got a boner now?”

“I’m sorry! It’s just…”

“Come on,” she said, not letting me finish, and wrapped her arm around my waist to guide me toward the airlock.

She helped me inside and stepped in right after me. This is when we realized why these airlocks are called single-person-airlock. It was tight! Her breasts pressed against my chest, and my boner was trapped between our bodies, twitching every now and then from feeling my sister’s body in all her glory.

“Multi-person failure,” a friendly woman’s voice said.

“Medical emergency override,” Nadia said.

A second later, the same voice said, “Please confirm emergency override.”

“Confirmed,” we said simultaneously.

A feeling that things were going to be alright now washed over me. The painkillers were doing their job now, and I heard the beep indicating to hold our breaths in the distance as I slowly blacked out.

Chapter 8 – Terra site

I knew I was dreaming, but it didn’t bother me. The warmth of the painkiller was soothing and clouded my brain. But it was okay. It was a nice dream. We were inside the airlock, and I looked deep into my sister’s eyes. I moved my head slowly forward and pressed my lips against hers. Every ounce of love I felt for her was poured into this kiss.

My hard dick was pressed between us, and I pushed it even firmer against her during the kiss. Her small breasts were smashed against my chest, with her nipples poking my pecs, and I could feel my heart pounding as I savored the feeling of her soft lips against mine.

In the next part of my dream, I saw her boobs in front of my face. I didn’t know why they were there, but they were so close, and her hard nipples looked so inviting. I lifted my head and closed my lips around the closest boob. I sucked gently and flicked my tongue over the hard nipple in the center of my mouth. The soft, spongy texture and the way it reacted to my tongue was amazing.

Nadia giggled coyly, but her unconvincing “Stop it, Ay!” between her giggles had quite the opposite effect.

I switched breasts and gave the other one the same treatment as the first. All too soon, Nadia lifted her body, and her boobs disappeared from view, sending me back deep into my dreamland.

Later, through the clouds of my dreams, Nadia’s face appeared again. I didn’t hesitate and started kissing her passionately again. This was the girl I loved with all my heart! And why not dream about how good it felt to express that love I could never show in real life?

After having drifted back down again, my dreams started to vanish. I slowly drifted back into consciousness, and after hearing beeping around me, I opened my eyes and had to blink a few times because of the light around my head.

Around my underarms were metal braces with blue blinking lights. The unnatural bend I had in them was gone, and as I regained my focus, I realized I was inside a med pod.

The dreams about Nadia still lingered in my head and made me smile, but now I needed to focus. So I looked outside the med pod the best I could, and I could see the hall where I was in was dimly lit. Good! This meant there was power. But where was my sister? I assumed she had put me inside to get me patched up, but I wasn’t one hundred percent sure of that. The moment this thought crossed my mind, a worried face appeared on the other side of the glass.

It was Nadia! The worries vanished from her face the moment she saw me. She disappeared again, but because of the beeps I heard, I knew she was just opening the pod, and I didn’t panic. After a loud hiss, the top of the pod tilted away from me, and the pod itself turned upright to almost vertical.

Now, I could see the room I was in, and everything had a dim light to it, but all the equipment seemed to work, judging by lots of blinking lights. This only took a second because Nadia stepped in front of me, blocking the view. She wore an oversized gray T-shirt, and one of her shoulders was completely visible. So, no bra there. And the bottom of the shirt hung just below her crotch, with nothing but her smooth legs to be seen below that. Even in the situation I was in now, I couldn’t deny how sexy she looked.

“How are you feeling?” Nadia asked as she looked me over.

“I… uhm… okay, I guess. A bit of a headache, but that’s it.”

“Probably the painkillers wearing off. You were out like a light!” she giggled and started blushing.

“I guess…”

“And your arms?”

I tried wiggling my fingers, but the blue light on the bracelet turned red, and there was no movement in my hand whatsoever. So, I lifted my right arm and didn’t feel any pain.

“You can’t move your hands or underarms for about a week. The repair is done, but it takes time to heal. The braces are helping your nerves to heal quicker.”

I nodded and asked, “How did you get me in here?”

“It wasn’t easy, but you were still conscious enough to help me, even though you were high as a kite! The med pod did the rest.”

“I don’t remember anything after we entered the airlock,” I said.

“I thought so,” Nadia said and blushed again.

“Only a couple of fever dreams, and then I woke up here. How’s the base doing?”

“Come on. I’ll show you,” Nadia said, and she grabbed me by my neck to help me get out.

I realized I wore a tight pair of boxer briefs as I stepped onto the cold floor. They weren’t mine and were a size or two too small. And on top of that, they were so-called second skin. A thin fabric that sticks to your body to be comfortable.

I could see every curve, bump, and muscle through it. My dick couldn’t be missed in this either. You could even make out the veins on my shaft! The only function of it was that I wasn’t naked and that it hid my crotch from direct view. But other than that, its only function was to make me feel comfortable under my clothes. I have to admit that it did give some support.

“What’s with these clothes?” I asked as I checked out my sister’s nipples as they poked the grey material of her shirt.

“Ours are still outside. And this was all I could find that fits us. There are some overalls, but they’re way too big for us. Be glad the med pod can spray on the second skin. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have anything to wear. There’s literally nothing left but this shirt and the overalls.”

“Good thing it isn’t cold in here,” I grumbled.

“Stop whining,” Nadia said, “it could’ve been worse. A lot worse. Let’s go to the control room.”

We entered the control room, and it was apparent that Nadia had done some tests. A diagnostic test was running, and a couple of notes were on the desk.

“How bad is it?” I asked as I sat down on a chair next to my sister.

“Thankfully, it’s not as bad as we expected. As far as I can tell, only the communication tower is offline. I can’t fix that on my own because…”

“Because you need an inside and an outside team to properly align everything. Damnit!” I interrupted Nadia, annoyed by the situation and my arms preventing me from solving the issue.

“Yeah…” she said, “but the reactor is fully operational, and the structure is undamaged. The only other problem is the garage. I couldn’t get in from the outside because the door wouldn’t open. So, the rover is still outside, and we had to enter through the outside airlock.”

“Hmm… That sucks. So, we can’t reach the rover now without suiting up.”

Nadia nodded and said, "But that seems to be all. There’s a diagnostic test running to check for the terraforming process, but that’s just because I didn’t know what else to do. And I managed to park the rover really close to the entrance, so it is protected by the shield.”

“Bisque. You did great!” I said, feeling genuinely proud of how well she handled herself.

“We just don’t know how things are at the main base. I don’t know if they’ve got structural damage or something, but I assume they’re coming for us if they can. Even when there’s no contact with this station.”

I nodded and thought about it for a second. Then, a thought struck me, and I hesitated to mention this to Nadia. But when she saw my worried face and started to frown, I knew I had to spit it out.

“The rover was our relay station. Our suits reported back to base through the rover. And now…”

“Shit! They don’t receive any signals from us anymore! Does that mean…”

“No. I don’t think so,” I said in an attempt to calm her, “They must know something can happen with the rover. I think they’ll go and check our route and come here to check on us anyway.”

This was a little comforting for Nadia, and I could see her relax slightly, but not by much. She pressed some buttons, and the outside camera feeds appeared on the screens above us.

“This way, we can see if someone is coming. I’ll also set the proximity alarm, so we can contact anyone who’s close enough,” she said, and I noticed her shirt had fallen down even further down her shoulder, exposing a bit of the top of her boob.

We sat in the control room for half an hour, lost in our thoughts, when Nadia said, “I had powered up the living quarters a while ago. It's good that we’ve got plenty of food and water and a big kitchen. We can sit it out if they can’t come and get us right away.”

“That’s Bisque. But we’ll be bored shitless in here, won’t we?” I chuckled.

“I don’t think so. This used to be the main base, remember? There’s a big rec room with a huge screen and lots of games to play.”

“Can we check out the living quarters? I don’t think there’s much more we can do in here, right?” I asked.

“Good idea. I’ve connected our coms to the controls, so we’ll know when something is up.”

I noticed how good everything still looked as we entered the living quarters. I had expected a worn-down station with leaking pipes and trash everywhere. But everything was clean and well-maintained, which was probably because of the bots they left behind. And it helped that they didn’t have to go in a hurry like in some old sci-fi movie where some alien life form threatened the crew.

“You’re right. We can wait it out in here,” I said as we entered the rec room.

“How long do you think we need to stay here?”

“Dunno. I don’t think they’ll be here today, to be honest. Maybe tomorrow. Depends on their own damage. If it’s up to Mom, she will drive here herself. But the crew won’t let her.”

“So?” Nadia asked as we sat on a couch in the corner.

“My best bet is tomorrow. Or the day after that. Either way, we need to be ready for more... It sucks ass that I can’t use my hands!” I said, feeling frustrated that I couldn’t do anything.

“You can use your hands, just not your fingers,” Nadia said, “If you do, it’ll take at least six weeks to heal.”

I sighed, feeling bummed out by all of this. But I was also a little tired despite my time in the med pod.

“How’s the pain?” she asked.

“I don’t feel any pain anymore. Did I get more painkillers?”

“No. Those braces numb the nerves locally until it’s healed. That’s also why they stop you from moving your fingers. It’s the most effective way of healing from such a fracture.”

“Are you a doctor all of a sudden?” I chuckled.

Nadia giggled and said, “No, silly! I wanted to know how to get you on your feet as quickly as possible. I didn’t want to be all alone out here. And the med pods have extensive documentation on the procedures.”

“I didn’t say it yet,” I said, looking seriously at my sister, “but thank you for helping me!”

“You would’ve done the same.”

“Probably. But you actually had to do it, and you did it! So... Thank you!”

We sat there, both checking out the room. I was thinking about our situation and realized I had to go to the bathroom sometime, but I wasn’t sure how to do this. I didn’t want to ask my sister for help, but eventually, I had to go some time. And if we were here long enough, taking a shower would also be a challenge.

And… beating off!

This hit me like a ton of bricks. I couldn’t jack off for a week! One whole week!! My balls feel like they’re going to explode after just two days, let alone an entire week. Damn…

“I’ll make us something to eat,” Nadia said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I kept her company as she prepared something. We chatted about all sorts of things during dinner but carefully avoided Ethan. We had to talk about it sometime, but now wasn’t the time.

After dinner, the urge to pee became more of an issue. As we put our stuff away, I cleared my throat.

Nadia must have seen me blush because she looked worriedly at me and asked, “What’s up? Pain?”

“No. It’s just… I’m…”

“Do I need to put you back in the med pod?”

“I need to pee!” I blurted, blushing furiously.

“Oh…” was Nadia’s timid reply.

The tension in the room was thick, and the awkwardness of the situation was almost painful, but Nadia managed to take it away a little when she said, “No problem. I also need to pee. Come on, I’ll help you!”

She got to her feet, and we walked over to the bathroom. I didn’t know what to do, but Nadia gestured for me to stand in front of the toilet. I was about to ask what to do next when Nadia stood beside me, pulled down my tight boxers with ease, grabbed my dick, and aimed it at the bowl.

“Wh- what?” I stammered.

Nadia looked at me, and my face must’ve been one of terror and disbelief because she said, “Don’t be a wuss. You need help, don’t you? Well… I’m helping you.”

“But…” I half-heartedly tried.

“Just do your thing,” she said, focusing on my dick.

I was dumbfounded by this. If it wasn’t this awkward, unexpected, and strange, I would’ve definitely boned up. But the combination of my need to pee and the surreal situation got my flow going as I let go of my bladder.

“This is Bisque,” Nadia giggled as she aimed the stream all over the bowl.

As the force of the stream died down, and only drops came out, Nadia asked, “Now what?”

“You… uhm… shake it to get the drops off.”

She shook it a couple of times, and since the weirdness had gone down a little bit and her handling of my dick actually felt good, I chubbed up a little. So I stepped back from the bowl, and Nadia pulled up my boxers. Her face was flushed, and thankfully, I could steer clear from a boner.

Nadia surprised me as she sat on the toilet, lifted her shirt a little, and did her business. This didn’t do anything sexual to me, but it was fascinating to watch her pee.

After the waterjet of the toilet wiped her, blew some hot air, and flushed, she said, “Phew! That’s a relief.”

“Yeah… thanks for, you know…”

“Don’t mention it. You’d do the same for me. And besides, it was bisque seeing how boys pee. You can aim it anywhere,” she chuckled.

After we rechecked the control room and found nothing new, we flopped down on the couch in the rec room. We watched a couple of cartoons when a thought struck.

“We can have our own bedrooms in here,” I said.

Nadia checked me out with an expressionless look on her face and said, “I know. But I think we need to stick together. I mean… with all the unknowns and with your situation.”

I was pleased with her reaction. I wanted to sleep with her but still thought I was forcing myself on her. But her response was exactly what I hoped for.

“I’m glad you say that. I think so, too,” I said softly.

“I already had the bots prepare a room,” and in the silence that followed, she whispered, “I don’t wanna lose you too, Ay.”

She cuddled up to me after she said that, and I draped my arm over her to pull her close. Despite the thought of Ethan, sitting like this with us barely dressed felt comforting and heartwarming and brought the two of us even closer together.

After watching more cartoons, my mood lightened. We were safe in here. Tomorrow, we’d probably be taken back to the main base. Ethan’s body would be taken care of, and life would more or less continue. But the most important part was that I still had my twin sister.

Over the last couple of months, we had grown closer together than ever before, and now I loved her more than ever before. And if I was frank with myself, this wasn’t just a brotherly love. On top of these butterflies I felt as I was thinking about her, there was also her fantastic body! The way her hard nipples topped her small boobs… Her firm and smooth ass… the way she fingered herself to an orgasm… how she handled my dick…

Nadia snapped me out of my thoughts when she giggled, “These boxers do absolutely nothing to hide things...”

I looked down, and my boner pointed toward my left hip. The only thing the fabric did was give it another color. Everything else was clear as day.

“I… uhm…” I stammered.

“Does it hurt?”

“No. And with these boxers, it isn’t even that uncomfortable. It’s just embarrassing…”

“Why?” Nadia asked, looking at me, “I’ve seen you like this before.”

“I know… but I’m… I guess I’m not used to that yet.”

She rubbed her hand over my chest and belly and softly said, “I like how you look. Don’t worry so much.”

We sat like this for a bit longer, and I felt my hardon deflate. Deep down, I knew she was right. But the urge I felt to protect her was intense. I should have let her come closer, but this was hard.

“Let's go to bed, okay?” Nadia asked after a while and got to her feet, “We’ll wear the coms tonight in case they come for us. But I don’t think they’ll do a mission when it’s dark, do you?”

“No. That’s way too dangerous. Especially after the quake. We’ll have to get up early and be as ready as we can when they get here.”

“So, we’ll wear the coms and stay alert. Come on.”

I followed my sister into the bedroom, unsure what to do next. Were we sleeping like we did at the main base? Or were we keeping it modest, just in case?

“Here, lemme help you,” Nadia said and started working on my boxers.

She squatted in front of me and pulled down my boxers. This was unexpected, so I was still soft when she pulled my boxers down. My dick wiggled right in front of her face, and she checked it out for a brief moment.

Then, she got to her feet and lifted her shirt without much of a fuss. My eyes immediately landed on her tits, moved down over her belly toward her slit, and landed on her tits again. I had a semi and was on my way to full mast by now.

Nadia looked but didn’t say anything. Instead, she lifted the blanket, let me get in, and draped it back over my lower body. As she walked over to her side, my eyes glued to her ass, she hummed a song.

After she got in, she moved over and cuddled up against me. Her breast was pressed against my chest, and my arm was around her back. I couldn’t stroke her back now, but I could pull her close to me and show my affection this way.

“Might as well sleep here like we did at the main base, right?” Nadia asked as she looked, smiling at me.

“Yeah. Thanks for helping me with that,” I chuckled, “wasn’t expecting that…”

“Yeah… figured you were okay with that.”

She was stroking my chest and belly again, and I could sense she was a bit nervous. Her body was tense, and there was a hint of a tremble in her voice. Did I do something wrong? Did she regret what we did together earlier? I was thinking all sorts of horrible things where we wouldn’t be together anymore. I was pretty messed up at the time. I realize that now.

After a minute of silence, she softly asked, “Ay?”

“Sup?”

“When uhm… when we were in the airlock…” she asked and moved back to her side of the bed to look at me.

“Oh. Sorry, but I don’t really remember anything after I undressed. I only had a couple of… weird dreams.”

Nadia thought about this for a second and asked, “Really? Did any of these dreams have the airlock in it?”

“I… uhm…” I stammered, not knowing what to say to that.

“Because you… we… uhm… you kissed me inside the airlock.”

This struck me like lightning. I had kissed her in my dream! It was a dream! Or was it? Now, it was my turn to be nervous.

“I… it was a dream… I wasn’t…” I stammered as I felt tears growing in my eyes, “I’m sorry..”

I did everything in my power to prevent from crying. My sister hated me because I couldn’t control myself, and I had to deal with that now. But I had to stay strong and get us out of here.

After a short pause, Nadia softly said, “I liked it…”

See! She hates me, and… wait.. what? I wasn't sure if I had heard it correctly, so I gathered all my willpower and looked my sister in her eyes. She was blushing and looked insecure, but a sly smile in the corner of her mouth did it.

“You… and it wasn’t a dream?”

“No. It was real. And it felt really, really good, Ay. I know it’s weird for brothers and sisters to kiss like this, but I don’t care! You made me… made us feel, I don’t know… connected, and I got all mushy inside.”

“But I didn’t mean to…” I stammered again.

I realized she was being so honest and open about it that I should also try to show my real feelings for her. What was the worst that could happen? So, I cleared my throat and said, “I wanted to kiss you for a long time. I think the painkillers pushed me past my fears about what you might think about a kiss.”

“I… I didn’t know that…”

“I’m not proud of it. But it's the truth,” I said as I fumbled with the sheet.

My sister didn’t react, and I didn’t dare to look at her. So many emotions and thoughts were shooting through me that I didn’t know what to think or do.

“Will… will you kiss me again?” Nadia asked, barely above a whisper.

My eyes immediately found hers. I just had to see if she was serious or not. But looking into her bright green eyes, I saw nothing but love and tenderness. With her eyes, she almost sucked me deep into the depth of her soul. I never felt so deeply connected to anyone than at that moment.

My instinct took over, and I moved my face closer to her. Everything at that moment happened in slow motion, and I still remember every millisecond of it.

I kept looking into her eyes, and as my face inched closer, I could smell her sweet scent. The moment my lips touched hers, a surge of electricity shot through me. My lips tingled as if I had touched one of those vintage static electricity globes. I kept pressing my lips firmer against her, and I could feel Nadia doing the same.

Her lips felt wonderfully soft but were still firm against my lips. We closed our eyes simultaneously as I drank in the fantastic feelings that were surging through me. It was as if our souls merged into one at that moment.

This wasn’t a sibling kiss. This was a kiss between lovers and could last a lifetime. Nadia surprised me when she opened her mouth a little, but when her tongue touched my lips a moment later, an internal light bulb switched on. This was a French kiss!

I opened my mouth to let my tongue meet hers. When our tongues touched, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and I had goosebumps on every inch of my body. The world around me didn’t exist anymore. It was just my sister and me as the most beautiful and indescribable feelings swept through me.

Our tongues rubbed gently against each other, and I tasted the sweetness of my sister’s mouth. My breathing was heavy, and breathing through my nose at this point wasn't easy. But being this close to Nadia was the best there was, and if it all ended here, I’d still be the happiest boy in the universe.

My dick was rock hard and twitched violently every now and then. But somehow, this didn’t involve my dick. It wasn’t a sexual thing we were doing now. The side-by-side jacking session definitely was, but this was all very emotional and spiritual and connected the two of us.

Nadia broke the kiss, and I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Nadia do the same, and a warm smile spread across her face. I still felt goosebumps all over and felt a tremendous amount of love for my sister.

“That was… wow…” Nadia whispered.

“It sure was… it’s a-“

Before I could finish my sentence, we were kissing again. We kissed like this for a couple of minutes, only breaking it a few times to regain our breaths.

After what seemed like forever, Nadia and I broke the kiss again, and Nadia draped her body half over mine, cuddling up with her head below mine, resting on my chest.

“I love you, Ay,”

This hit me right at the center of my heart. She LOVED me! It never once occurred to me that my love for her might be returned. I was convinced I’d die miserable and alone, longing for my sister’s love. But now she said she loved me!

I was over the moon by now, and I felt my heart trying to beat itself out of my chest. I could only stammer a soft, “I… I love you too…”

Nadia lifted her head briefly to glance at me. We both knew at that moment this wasn’t an ordinary love when our eyes met. This was a deep connection between two people.

She laid her head back on my chest and squeezed my body to hug me tight. I stroked her bare back and kissed her on her head. We didn’t say anything else. It wasn’t like we’d leave it hanging, but we said what we wanted, so we said enough.

After a while, Nadia said, “I can hear your heart…”

“You smell nice,” I replied.

Nadia chuckled and asked, “Are we weird?”

“Nope! Not at all,” I replied immediately.

“But we...”

“Not. At. All!” I said again.

“Stop it,” Nadia giggled and slapped me on my chest.

“I love you. You love me. What’s weird about two people loving each other?”

“Because we’re brother and sister?” she said, stating the obvious.

I thought about it for a second and said, “After all these months being so close to you, you’re way, way more of a friend than my sister to me. And so what? The world can always use a bit of love. Even this world.”

“Guess you’re right. Who cares that you’re my brother? I know I don’t.”

“There you go,” I said, kissing her on her head.

“I’m feeling tired,” Nadia said after a short while.

“Me too.”

And that was it. Nadia and I fell asleep with her half-lying on me with her head on my chest and her boobs and pussy pressed against my body. I felt whole at that moment and blessed to be so close to another person. Especially my twin sister.

Chapter 9 - Scavenging

I woke refreshed from a dream-filled sleep and half-expected to be awakened by my coms. But it was something else that woke me. It took me a moment to realize that Nadia was kicking her feet in this dream she was having. During the night, she had moved over to her side of the bed, and as I checked her out, I was greeted by her boobs peeking out above the sheet.

I still had to get used to seeing her like this, and I absentmindedly put my hand on my morning wood to give it a good squeeze. But when I wanted to wrap my fingers around it, a soft beep reminded me that this wasn’t possible yet.

I checked the time and saw it was still early. It was still early enough to explain why there wasn’t a rescue mission knocking at the door but late enough to start my day.

As I stared at the ceiling, I thought about our possibilities to return to the main base. All ideas hung on the fact that I wasn’t able to use my hands, and we had to wait a week, six days at best, to go back on our own. If there even was a base left at all!

I was thinking about the options we had to bring the coms to the main base back online when Nadia was waking up. The cute whines and groans as she returned to the land of the living kept bringing a smile to my face.

I turned on my side to face her, and when she moved her head and noticed me, she also turned to her side. As her face came closer to mine, I said, “I’ve got a bad case of morning breath, I’m afraid.”

Nadia giggled at that, and moments later, she kissed me gently on my lips again. It wasn’t the intimate and loving kisses we shared last night, but it wasn’t exactly a peck on the cheek, either.

She moved closer and wrapped her arm around my body as our kiss intensified. Her breasts were pressed against my chest, and I knew I'd never grow tired of feeling them.

Her other hand lay on the mattress between us, and when I shifted a bit, it accidentally brushed against my rock-hard boner. My eyes flew open at the contact, and so did Nadia’s. She pulled her face back and smiled wickedly at me.

“You’re completely awake, aren’t you?” she chuckled.

I could only blush, and when she didn’t pull back her hand, it twitched firmly, causing Nadia to pull back her hand.

“It’s morning again,” I apologized and turned to my back.

Nadia must have noticed my embarrassment because she said, “You know I don’t care about that. We talked about it.”

“I know… but it’s just…”

“You can’t do anything about it now. Is that it?”

“No! It’s not. It’s a bit…” I stammered and realized I could be honest about this stuff now, “Yeah… it’ll get worse in a few days. And… I don’t wanna embarrass you by poking you with my boner, you know?”

“I don’t mind being poked. As long as it’s with you, at least.”

I turned my head to look at her and saw her smiling warmly at me. She was serious. She didn’t care about these things! So why was I acting so stupid then?

“I can help if you want…” she whispered with another coy smile on her face.

“Help?”

“Yeah! I can, you know… use my hand to…” she said as a blush spread across her face and upper chest.

“Oh…”

“I mean… I touched you before, and I watched you do it. So…”

My mind was shooting everywhere at the moment. My sister jacking me off? That sounded like the best thing that could happen to me. But what if I shoot too quickly? What if she didn’t want to do this and just offered to do it as a nice gesture? She might hate me afterward! I know… I was so messed up!

“I really don’t mind, Ay! And it’s no big deal. I just wanna help,” she said in the silence while I was thinking.

Thankfully, my hormones took over, and I gently nodded. Apparently, this was all my twin sister needed. She scooted over and put her hand just below my belly button. She kicked down the sheet with her feet, exposing our naked bodies.

Her head was on my chest again, and she looked down at my hard dick. Her hand inched downwards, and the moment she rubbed her palm over my dickhead, I sucked in a breath. This time, Nadia didn’t flinch. She moved her hand further down, and now, her palm rubbed my shaft. Her fingers closed around it, and she gripped my hard-on firmly.

A soft moan escaped my lips as she moved her hand upward, slightly releasing the firm grip but still enough to give the much-needed friction. The moment her fist was at the top of my dick, she moved it down again, just like I always did.

“Ohhh…” I softly moaned.

Nadia moved her face up and lay it next to my ear. She slowly kept moving her fist up and down as she did this.

“You like this, huh?” she whispered in my ear.

This sent goosebumps all over my body, and I could only nod between my moans. I felt Nadia move her head, and in the corner of my eye, I saw her looking at the action between my legs again.

Despite this being her first time, she did an excellent job. She glided her fist over the entire length but still managed to give the underside of my dickhead extra attention. She also gripped my dick firmer and softer at every move, which was a new one for me, but far from unpleasant. Quite the opposite, actually!

“It’s so hard…” she whispered, and I could hear the excitement in her voice.

“Mmhhh…” I moaned.

“Am I doing okay?”

“Y- aaahhh… you’re… oh yes!”

My peak was rapidly approaching. It came way faster than when I did it myself, but the feeling of someone else handling my dick, especially my fabulous sister, was also way more intense.

“Oh… Na- ahh... I think… hmmm…”

“You’re shooting?” she asked excitedly.

“Oh yeah.. oh yeah… oh…”

Now that I wasn’t in control, I couldn’t change the pace, grip, speed, or anything. I was completely dependent on what my twin sister did. I’d usually go faster by now, but Nadia just kept going at a regular pace. This extended my orgasm a little longer, which was fantastic.

But the inevitable was coming. There was no going back now. I grunted deeply as I felt the wave of my orgasm approach. Nadia moved her head down a little, which turned me on even more. She wanted a first-row seat for my spurting dick.

When my balls tightened and I felt my dick fatten, I moaned loudly. This was it, and the moment my first spurt shot from the tip of my dick, Nadia’s soft “YESSS!!” gave me another surge of excitement.

She was watching me cum, and she loved it. And I loved her soft hand working my dick as three more spurts came out before it turned into a dribble.

“Stop… too sensitive,” I panted.

Nadia stopped jerking me and kissed me tenderly on my neck, but she didn’t let go of my dick. She kept squeezing it as she let me catch my breath. She stayed away from my glans and kept fondling me, which was an excellent way to come down from my orgasm. I even managed to remain mostly hard, which was a first.

I looked her deep into her eyes, and Nadia immediately caught on. She kissed me on my lips, and before I knew it, we were Frenching quite heavily with her fingers still wrapped around my dick. Her lower body moved, and I felt her drape her leg over my lower body. Moments later, I felt something hot and moist press against my upper leg, and it started sliding up and down my leg. This was Nadia’s pussy, and she was grinding it against me.

Her kissing became more passionate, almost violent, and she moaned in my mouth constantly. Our tongues were wrestling, and she still had a firm grip on my dick. She was jacking me again, and the short break was enough to get me going again without it being too sensitive.

But it wasn’t about me now. Her movements against my upper leg were more and more deliberate, whereas her focus on jacking me ebbed away.

With my arm around her lower back, I felt her pelvic motion going faster and faster. Her mouth was smashed against mine, and the loud noises of her breathing through her nose filled the room.

There was one final firm push, and then she stopped. Her body stiffened, and as I opened my eyes to look at her, she had hers firmly shut, and an intense look of pleasure and focus was all over her face.

The motion of her pussy on my leg continued, and now she was making small circles. Every now and then, she shook a little, but her orgasm was going down now. After a minute or so, her body went limp, and she lay her whole weight on top of me. Feeling her on top of me like this was fantastic, and we stayed like this for a while.

“We need a shower,” Nadia chuckled after she finally lifted her face to look at me.

She was right. My sperm was between our bodies, and although it wasn’t much, we needed to wash it off. And my leg was a bit sticky from my sister’s juices. So yeah… we need to shower.

The shower itself was relatively uneventful. Our room had the biggest bathroom of the site, with two shower heads next to each other. It was initially the captain’s family room, designed for showering together with his young kids and, most importantly, to give him status. But this captain eventually never came to Aetheria.

Nadia washed my front and back, paying particular attention to my crotch. She giggled as I grew stiff again under her soapy hands, but we didn’t do anything sexual in the shower because we wanted to be ready in case a rescue team came knocking. Tenderly kissing each other under the cascading water was something neither of us wanted to miss, so we did that a few times.

Being dried by another person had been a long while, but Nadia did a great job. She tried to be clinical about it, but when it came to my dick and ass, she just had to make some smartass comments about it and toyed with my balls.

But that was about it. I loved the kissing and seeing my nude sister prance around, but we needed to make sure to be ready to head back to the main base. At least, that’s what I told myself.

If I was honest, I wouldn’t mind another hand job from my sister. But now Nadia was pulling up my boxers after she put on her gray, oversized shirt. She cupped my balls and smiled at me after everything was stuffed inside the tight material.

“All good?” she asked.

“Yup! Thanks for helping me!”

“Don’t mention it. Now I can touch your penis whenever I want, under the pretense of helping you,” she giggled.

“Be my guest,” I countered, but it came out lamer than it sounded in my head.

After Nadia fed me my breakfast and ate her own, we rechecked the control room, and everything was the same as yesterday. All tests were still showing up green, and no intelligent lifeforms other than the local animal population were detected anywhere near the site.

“Let’s explore more of this site, okay?” Nadia asked, “I’m getting bored in here.”

“Sure!”

We checked if our coms were still connected, and after the central systems confirmed this, we headed over to the sleeping quarters. We wandered around and checked out the separate rooms, hoping to find something interesting.

Some of the rooms were nice and tidy, but a few were still in the same state as when the person who lived in it left it. After some searching, we learned that these people expected to return on short notice and asked the bots to leave their rooms alone.

Because of the security clearance Nadia had managed to give us, we could enter these rooms and check them out. Most of the personal belongings were gone, but some pictures, small boxes, and stuff were still there.

We were going through these rooms to see if we could find something interesting. Since there wasn’t too much to do here, we’d hope to find a game, deck of cards, or anything like that. We checked out all storage rooms, bathrooms, personal rooms, everything! It took us most of the day, but we didn’t mind. It wasn’t like we had anything else to do, and it wasn’t exactly cold, so we were glad to have something to put our minds to.

I looked inside a half-open closet in one of the last rooms we entered. There was a small box, so I asked Nadia to check it out. She put the box on the table and opened it.

“That’s one of those vintage personal streamers, right?” I asked as she pulled out a small black box with buttons on it.

“Looks like it,” she said, rummaging through the box.

She pulled out some pictures, a diary, and some other stuff. But when she pulled out another streamer, I looked at Nadia and matched her surprised look. With a knife, someone had carved a small smiley in this streamer.

“Let’s take those,” Nadia said, placing all the other stuff back into the box.

We scanned some more rooms, but none were interesting. We looked at each other after we exited the last room on the floor.

“We can do the floor below,” Nadia said, but I could see she was a bit fed up with it, just like I was.

“Let’s check out the streamers. We can always do the bottom floor tomorrow. If we’re still here, of course.”

We headed to the rec room, and I dropped on the couch. Nadia clicked on the TV, took the remote, and scanned for the wireless connection options.

“Good thing this TV still has this option,” I said, feeling glad we could check out these streamers.

“Yeah. It’s an oldie, and I guess that’s why this guy still had these boxes lying around. Let’s see...”

Nadia pressed the power-on switch on the box, and a soft beep confirmed it still worked. The television showed the text ‘Connecting,’ and the device menu appeared after a few moments.

There were several movies on there and a ‘personal’ section. Nadia scrolled through the movie list and giggled when we came across a golden oldie.

“Jeez! Fast and Furious forty-four! Really!?” I said, giggling myself, “Talk about vintage! That franchise stopped being interesting after the fifth movie!”

“Vin Diesel’s great-great-grandchildren still pulled it off.”

“Whatever. What else is on there?”

We scrolled through the personal section, and it was filled with videos from home. This guy had left his wife and kids behind, and there were tons of videos from them. Most of it was mushy stuff about how much they missed him and what his kids could do now. But one of them was interesting, and we watched it completely.

I guessed the woman to be in her early thirties, and she was in her black bra and panties, talking into the camera while it panned over her good-looking body.

I felt myself grow hard, especially when she said the word “Blowjob” a few times in a tone that would’ve instantly melted a block of ice.

“What’s a blowjob?” Nadia asked and smiled when she eyed my boner.

“Dunno. But it sounds good!”

“I can see that,” she giggled but turned her head back at the TV.

“And I miss your thick, hard cock, stretching out my soaking cunt as you fuck me senseless,” the woman said, and her hand slid inside her panties.

“Oh wow…” Nadia whispered.

“Love you! Come home soon. I’ll be waiting for you,” the woman on television whispered as the screen faded to black.

Nadia and I looked wide-eyed at each other and simultaneously said, “Bisque!”

That caused us to giggle, and after a few moments, Nadia said, “I didn’t know grownups did this kind of stuff.”

“Me neither. And I think a blowjob is also some sex stuff, don’t you think?”

“Has to be. Maybe we can find something in the other clips.”

We kept scrolling through the rest of his personal files, but none of them had any more sexy stuff in them.

“Let’s try the one with the smiley,” I said, getting bored with the kid constantly running around and telling us how much he missed his daddy.

“Let’s do another broad sweep first, okay?”

We headed over to the control room, where Nadia did her routine again. The broader sweep of the surroundings had to be done manually, and it could show early signs of life approaching the base.

“Still no one…” I said, feeling gloomy about being left here all alone.

“And it’s getting late. Almost too late for them to head back if needed.”

“I don’t think anyone is coming. Do you?”

“Don’t say that, Ay! We don’t know how bad they were hit by the quake.”

“I know… but we need to find a way to get that radio fixed. I need to know what’s going on!” I said and heard a bit of anger and frustration in my voice.

“You need your hands to go outside.”

“AAHHGR!” I shouted out of frustration.

Nadia placed a hand on my shoulder and said, “Let’s check out that other streamer, okay? After that, we’ll eat and figure out what to do with the radio later.”

When the streamer booted, there was only one movie on there. It was some lame-ass romantic comedy that neither of us wanted to see. But when Nadia opened the personal section, there were two folders. They were labeled ‘Pics’ and ‘Vids’ and didn’t have thumbnails.

Nadia looked questioningly at me, and I said, “Vids. Definitely.”

When the folder opened, the titles only had six-digit numbers instead of labels and no thumbnails. Nadia selected the first one, and an old, grainy opening shot started. I guessed it was shot in just 4K, which gave it an aged, vintage look. We saw an exterior shot of a big mansion, and the title faded in with big, curly letters.

“The pool boy?” Nadia said, surprised, “What kind of dumbass movie is this?”

“Dunno. Looks old.”

The camera moved to the back of the house and panned over the pool to a lounge chair. In that chair, a big-breasted young woman was finishing applying her sunscreen and ready to get her tan. I guessed her to be around eighteen or nineteen, and what surprised me most was her extremely skimpy white bikini.

The fabric of her top was barely enough to cover her nipples, and the, what I later learned, thong bottom was high on her hips and low at her front. I boned up instantly when I looked at her.

She turned to her belly, showing us her fine-looking ass with the small stripe of fabric between her cheeks. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes.

“What is this?” Nadia asked, her eyes glued to the screen.

The woman reached behind her back and untied her top, showing some sideboob. She threw it on the floor beside her and softly said, “That’s better.”

Moments later, we saw another shot of bare feet, shown from behind, walking up to the woman on the chair.

“Excuse me, miss,” a dark voice said, and the shot widened.

The woman looked back at the man and acted like she was startled by his presence. The acting was poor, and we saw a flash of her naked boobs right before she covered them with her hands.

“Oh! I didn’t know you were coming!” the woman said.

“Don’t worry, ma’am. I’m only here to clean the pool. Don’t mind me.”

The man took off his white T-shirt, and the woman exaggeratedly checked out the man’s body. And, moments later, the camera did the same. He was wearing an extremely short and tight pair of cutoff jeans. He had a pronounced bulge in them, and his upper body was muscular with a nice dark tan.

The man picked up a net and started scooping the leaves and other stuff from the pool. We saw the woman checking him out, and she licked her lips. The next shot showed the ass of the man as he picked up something from the floor. The woman acted, poorly again, as if she had just come up with something.

She laid back down on her belly, grabbed the sunscreen, and called the man over. The man checked out the ass of the woman and asked, “What’s the problem, ma’am?”

“Can you help me with this, please? I don’t wanna get sunburned…”

“This is one of those sexy movies,” I said in disbelief.

“You mean… pron?”

“I think so…”

On TV, the man wasted no time and was rubbing his hands all over the woman’s back. He didn’t ask permission and also started rubbing all over her ass. The woman didn’t protest, and a closeup of her smiling face showed she actually liked it.

“Do you need me to also do the front?” the man asked with that very dark voice that Nadia said was sexy.

The woman turned around, showing off her huge tits with extremely hard nipples, and said, “Yes, please.”

The man smiled widely at her exposed tits. He wasted no time and started massaging them, causing the woman to moan loudly. He kept kneading one breast with one hand while the other moved downward over her belly toward the top of the white thong.

The moment his hand disappeared under the white fabric, the woman arched her back and sucked in a breath.

“This is bisque,” I said softly.

“Yeah… mind if I get comfortable?” Nadia asked as she glanced briefly at my crotch.

My boner stretched the fabric, but it was stretchy enough to still be mildly comfortable. Nadia had her hands at the bottom of her shirt and looked expectantly at me. I gave her a gentle nod, and Nadia quickly took off her shirt and threw it on the floor. My eyes were immediately fixated on my twin sister’s breasts. To me, they looked way better than the big boobs we saw on TV. I noticed Nadia was looking at the TV again, and when I saw the lady had pulled down her bikini bottom, I had to look at her bald pussy.

“Doesn’t she have hair?”

“I think she shaved them,” Nadia said without taking her eyes from the screen.

The man’s fingers were shown in closeup as he was fingering the woman. I looked intensely, and it was apparent he knew what he was doing as he did almost the same things I saw Nadia do.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Nadia’s hand between her legs. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she was doing. My dick twitched hard at the realization my sister was openly fingering herself, and Nadia glanced down when I did. She saw me looking and shrugged apologetically.

“This is hot,” she hoarsely whispered.

I was about to ask for a hand when the woman on TV said, “I wanna blow you. Get up…”

The man got to his feet, and we saw a closeup of his tight jeans where an obvious boner was stretching the material. Moments later, the woman’s fingers were working the button and zipper.

As the man’s gigantic dick popped out, both Nadia and I whispered a simultaneous “WOW!” His dick was at least eight inches and looked massive. Strangely enough, it didn’t make me feel small or inadequate. He was an adult and probably selected for this movie because of that. Maybe I’d grow to be this big when I was fully developed, but now, I couldn’t care less about it. Seeing pron for the first time was just too exciting.

The next shot was a POV shot where we looked down at the woman. Her big tits were showing, and she was stroking the man’s dick while looking seductively into the camera. What she did next caused Nadia and me to suck in another breath.

Her lips wrapped themselves around the man’s colossal dickhead, while she kept looking into the camera. More and more of the man’s dick disappeared into her mouth. For the next couple of minutes, we saw how she sucked, licked, and toyed with the man’s hard dick.

A wet spot was forming in my boxers around my dickhead. The stuff on the TV made me incredibly horny, and with Nadia slowly working her pussy beside me, I felt an incredible urge to grip my dick and do the same. The frustration about not being able to do so started having an effect.

With a loud ‘pop,’ the woman lifted her face and pulled at the man’s dick. She got up, giving us another closeup view of her entire body, and the man lay on his back on the chair.

“Are they gonna make sex now?” Nadia hoarsely asked, and I noticed she was picking up the pace.

“I guess.”

But the woman climbed on top of the man with her face near his dick. This way, her bald pussy was near the man’s face, and he didn’t waste any time. The camera got close to his face, and we saw how his tongue was licking all over her pussy. Her enlarged clitoris, which couldn’t be missed, received extra attention, and his fingers worked overtime to help his tongue.

In the next shot, the camera moved from his face over the woman’s round ass to the action between his legs. She was licking and sucking away, just like before, and was toying with his balls.

We were looking at a closeup shot of the man’s glistening dick with the woman’s head bobbing up and down on it when suddenly the screen went black, and the text ‘Check input connection’ appeared.

“What the hell!?” Nadia exclaimed.

“Check the streamer,” I said, suspecting the source of the problem.

“It’s dead…”

“I was afraid of that. These old devices need to be recharged every six months. We were lucky it still had some juice.”

“Now what?” Nadia said, leaning back on the couch with her hands folded behind her head.

My eyes roamed over her body, and the tension I felt in my balls grew even tighter. I thought about it for a second but couldn’t come up with a quick fix.

“I didn’t see a charger in his room, did you?” I asked.

“No, damnit! I want to see how it ends. Don’t you?” Nadia said, and I saw something in her face I hadn’t seen before.

“Maybe in one of the other rooms…” I tried.

“Can’t we change the battery with the other streamer?”

“Afraid not. It’s a fixed one, so the device could stay smaller.”

We were quiet for a few moments, and I noticed how Nadia had her fingers in her crotch again, and they moved slowly. She wasn’t fingering herself but was just toying with her pubes and the other exciting bits down there.

“At least now we know what a blowjob is…” Nadia chuckled.

“I never thought people would do that. I mean… I pee from there!”

“It looked like they had fun. I don’t think it tastes bad. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have done it to each other…”

“Guess you’re right.”

My dick was now painfully hard, and the wet spot in my boxers started to feel sticky. I had a tingling feeling throughout my lower body that I hadn’t felt before. If I had the use of my fingers, I would definitely be playing with my… cock like Nadia was doing to herself.

The awkward silence was broken by Nadia clearing her throat. “Do.. uhm… do you mind if I, you know… try it with you?”

“Try what… oh!! Uhm…”

“I’m curious, you know?” Nadia said, blushed furiously, and spoke with her eyes locked on mine, “I wanna suck your, uhm, cock!”

Her usual timid reaction to stuff like this was now replaced with a determination I had never seen before, and she didn’t look ashamed or embarrassed. She looked me deep into my eyes, and there was no doubt about what she wanted. Judging by the man I saw on TV, he had a great time getting that blowjob, so I didn’t have a reason to say no. Heck! I wanted to know what it felt like the moment the woman’s lips wrapped around his dick.

But there was also the case where the man used his tongue on the woman. If I was honest, that looked like a lot of fun too. By using my tongue, I could make Nadia feel good without having to use my fingers, something I wanted to do for a long time.

“Okay. But only if I can try it with you after that!”

That brought a huge grin to my sister's face. She got to her knees and sat down in front of the couch with my legs on each side of her.

“I was hoping you’d say that…” Nadia said with a smile and started working on my boxers.

She pulled the waistband away from my body so my boner wouldn’t be trapped. She started pulling them down, and I lifted my butt so she could pull them off completely. The awkwardness of being naked in front of my sister was long gone by now, and I only felt anticipation about what was going to happen.

When Nadia’s face was inches away from my boner, she grabbed it by the base and examined it closely.

“I like yours better than the guy’s on the streamer. Way cuter,” she said and moved her face toward my dickhead.

My whole body was beaming with anticipation. I saw her opening her mouth, and the moment her lips touched my dickhead, a bolt of electricity shot from my dick to the back of my head. Nadia took more of my dick in her mouth, and her eyes widened when I felt a drop of precum ooze out. She was holding my dick with her right hand, and with her left, she started toying with my balls.

As her warm mouth went further down my shaft, I moaned involuntarily. This was by far the best feeling I ever felt on my dick. Ever! Judging by Nadia’s enthusiasm, she was also having a blast.

I kept looking at my sister as she was bobbing up and down on my rock-hard dick. Every now and then, her eyes met mine, and the twinkle of excitement grew bigger. She must have noticed how it became increasingly difficult for me to focus.

Her tongue was lapping all around the underside of my shaft and dickhead, and her lips were tight around my shaft. Each time her tongue hit the sensitive spot at the base of my glans, I moaned louder. But the soft squeezes she gave my balls took away the peak and made me last longer.

The combination of my sister’s mouth around my dick and all the sensations that flooded my young mind were all accumulating into that fantastic peak I recently learned to love so much. The waves of pleasure were building inside, and these waves were banging against my inner dam. I could only moan, and my hips moved involuntarily to feel as much of that beautiful mouth as possible.

Despite all the primary feelings inside, I was clear enough to feel the need to warn Nadia. Between my moans, I panted, “ohh… cummin- ohh, I’m…”

I expected her to lift her face from my dick and finish me with her hand. But she kept on sucking, lapping, and bobbing.

I wasn’t sure if she heard me, so I managed to squeeze out a, “Look ou- Aahh… it’s…” right before I felt the inner dam break.

It was like a volcanic eruption. All the pressure that had built inside my lower body peaked into one place and erupted through my cock. Spurt after spurt left my twitching dick, and I felt my sister’s mouth working hard to keep up. Even though I didn’t shoot very much with each spurt, there were a lot of spurts, and Nadia wanted it all.

I collapsed back on the couch, heard a loud pop, and the cold hit my saliva-covered dick as it left Nadia’s mouth. She crawled onto the sofa next to me and pressed her body against mine, kissing me on my neck and face as she whispered in my ear, “THAT was freaking bisque!”

I was panting heavily and turned my head to kiss her back. She immediately inserted her tongue into my mouth, and I tasted the faint taste of my own cum. The lust and passion in her kiss were remarkable and turned me on immensely despite having an orgasm mere seconds earlier.

I felt a primal urge to make her feel as good as possible, and I wanted to feel what it was like to lick my twin sister’s pussy. So, I broke the kiss and slid to my knees, so I sat between her legs.

This close-up view of my sister’s pussy was fascinating. She had already explained what everything was the last time I looked, but seeing it up close was different, to say the least. What struck me most was the intoxicating smell that filled my nostrils. It wasn’t a warm smell like freshly baked cookies or a forest after a rainstorm, but it wasn’t exactly unpleasant either. It triggered something deep inside, and I felt tremendously attracted to my sister.

So, I stuck out my tongue and moved my face between her legs. The moment the tip of my tongue hit her slit, Nadia hissed. I knew this wasn’t from pain or discomfort. Someone else’s touch down there gave you a whole new set of pleasures.

I moved my tongue further up her slit toward her clitoris. As I did this, more and more of her pussy’s moisture hit my tastebuds. This was almost like a drug to me. My eyes widened, and I felt an incredible urge to taste as much of this as I could.

But my first goal was her clit. Nadia said earlier that this was the best spot on her body, and I wanted to test that. This confirmation was instant. As I touched her clit with the tip of my tongue, her legs clamped shut around my head, and I could hear her moan in the distance.

She must’ve realized what she did because her legs opened again a second later. I gave her clit a couple of tentative licks but wanted to taste more of that magnificent moisture she offered me. So I started licking all around her pussy, to lick up as much as possible. Nadia caught on and opened her legs widely.

The strong scents I smelled kept me longing for more. Now that Nadia had spread her legs, I could sneak my tongue further inside. I was now licking between her lips and made sure to rub my tongue over her clit with every upward move.

Between her lips, the taste was even stronger, so I wanted to know if, by entering her, this would increase even more. I rolled up my tongue and pressed it against her entrance. I slipped in way easier than expected and was amazed by its texture. Judging by Nadia’s moans, she liked this. But I couldn’t go as deep as I wanted, and I couldn’t taste her as good as I wished to this way.

So I started licking all around her lips and clit again, all the while encouraged by my sister’s moans. Her breathing was shallow and fast, and she started rubbing her fingers through my hair. When I toyed with her clit in my mouth, her fingers pressed hard into my skull, which was sexy and encouraging.

“Oohh… yeah… right there… OOOHHH!!”

By now, I was solely focused on her clit and the small area around it. Nadia’s fingers constantly pushed into my head, and she tried pushing my face against her pussy.

I would have none of that. I was in control here, and I determined what I did. Feeling the buildup toward her inevitable orgasm, and me being the cause of that, gave me a tremendous feeling of power and pride. Her breathing became ragged, and whining sounds came from deep within her throat. All indications I was on the right track.

A soft “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!” sounded every time I put pressure on her clit with my tongue. I even wrapped my lips around it and sucked on it like it was a little penis. She liked that, but the small circles I was making now had the most effect.

It was fantastic to have the power to determine when she would cum. And it was fun to prolong it a little. But my jaw was getting a bit sore, and I knew how frustrating it could be to build up to the edge only to be brought back down again.

So, I figured it was time to get her off. I slipped a finger inside her, and slowly started moving it in and out. She groaned loudly and she was rocking her pelvis a little to give me even better access. A gush of her juices filled my mouth, and I moaned loudly. The sounds were muffled by her pussy, but it also triggered a moan from Nadia. I tried it again, and the same thing happened.

“Ay! I’m… it’s…”

Another gush of her pussy juices came out, and I drank it as fast as I could so I could get back to her clit, while slowly moving my finger. I kept moaning softly and was treated with more and more of her sex drugs.

And that’s when it happened. She pressed her pussy hard against my mouth and pushed my face against her crotch. There was no way I could break free from her firm grip. But there was also no way I wanted to get away. Her pussy fed me copious amounts of those fantastic juices I lapped up eagerly.

I was breathing through my nose and heard the most beautiful sounds I ever heard. The high-pitched, soft whimpering of my climaxing twin sister. All senses in my body were treated with the best possible input I knew. Even though it was her orgasm, I shared her feelings on a spiritual level.

Her body was trembling as she came, and I slowed down my efforts on her clit, assuming it was pretty much the same as with my dick. The gentle licking continued for a few more moments when I felt Nadia’s hands on my shoulders. She was trying to pull me up, and I got the idea.

I sat up straight between her legs and moved over to kiss her. Nadia’s arms wrapped around my neck, and we kissed passionately for a couple of moments. Our bodies were pressed together like this, but I was clueless about our position until I felt my hard dick touch the warm and moist pussy of my sister.

My eyes flew open, and Nadia moaned into my mouth. I didn’t dare to move my lower body, as I didn’t want to accidentally stick it into my sister. But Nadia had different ideas as she moved her hips to press more of her pussy against my throbbing member. We broke our kiss and looked deep into each other’s eyes. Nadia had a grin I had never seen on her before, and she moved her lower body again.

“That was amazing, Ay! Thanks for doing that!”

“It was… ahh…”

The slickness of her pussy on my dick felt terrific! I didn’t dare to move my hips, and Nadia must’ve noticed my discomfort about this situation as she sat up straighter and broke our connection.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, “it just feels good to have your… cock on my… cunt…”

“It does! But…”

Nadia didn’t let me finish and kissed me again. Not as passionate as before, but more loving and tender.

After we broke the kiss, I sat on the couch beside her and noticed the blue lights on my braces had turned purple. Beside me, Nadia abruptly got up and started walking towards the kitchen.

“I’ll make us some dinner,” she said and didn’t look back.

This startled me a bit. Did I do something wrong? Was she mad about what had happened? Was it about my dick against her pussy? All sorts of horror scenarios shot through my head. I needed to know what was wrong with her, but I didn’t know how to talk about it.

After a few minutes, I gathered my courage and headed to the kitchen. Nadia had put on an apron and stood with her back toward me. Seeing her naked ass and back, with just the belt of the apron around her waist, looked sexy as hell. There was no denying in that! As I approached her, I noticed some sideboob as the apron only covered half her boob.

I stood at her back, and because of the noise the hood above the stove made, she hadn’t heard me yet. I looked at her slender neck, the soft skin on her back, the perfect ass, and long legs and felt an incredible urge to hug her.

So, I put my arms around her waist and pressed my naked body against hers. I pulled her against me, and after a surprised ‘oh!’ Nadia straightened her head, and I saw a smile on her face. I kissed her neck and pulled her even tighter against me.

My soft dick was nestled between her cheeks, but this wasn’t sexual at all. It was nice to feel our bodies against each other. Nadia turned around, and we locked eyes. Without saying anything, we started kissing each other tenderly. No tongue, just a tender, loving and heartfelt kiss.

“I really love you, Ay…” Nadia whispered after we broke our kiss.

“I love you too,” was all I could come up with.

“I know, but…”

I could see she was

struggling with something. I waited a moment for her to keep talking, but when she just kept looking at the floor, I asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I really, really love you, Ay!! Not like my brother or friend, but as something, I don’t know… deeper?” she said and sighed deeply, “I mean… we talked about it after our first kiss, and I’m glad you love me too. But to me, it’s… more. And then after you gave me, you know… the best feeling EVER, and then your… touched me there, I wanted nothing more than to…”

Wow! She wants to have sex with me! This needed a moment to sink in… I loved Nadia with all my heart and would do anything for her! Even sex. But wasn’t that… wrong?

Before I could answer, she sighed again and continued, “But you’re my brother! And what brother would want to have sex with his sister? And on top of that, brothers and sisters aren’t supposed to do that. It's illegal! And here I am, wanting to feel you inside me…”

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she didn’t look at me anymore. She only looked at the floor and sniffed loudly. I opened my mouth and, for once, didn’t think first about what I wanted to say. I wanted my sister to feel better and just started talking.

“I would love to have… uhm… sex with you!” I started, and Nadia’s eyes shot up to meet mine and gazed at me in wide wonder, “I want to be as close as possible to you for as long as I can remember! And when I learned about sex, I wanted nothing more than to do it with you. But I don’t wanna hurt you! And I know we aren’t supposed to do this, so I’m not sure if we should. And the thoughts of wanting to do this with you, even though you probably didn’t want to do it with me, combined with it being illegal and all, has been troubling me for months now!” I blurted out in a torrent of words.

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I confessed my deepest feelings to my sister. The look on Nadia’s face morphed from anger and sadness into wonder and tenderness.

“You… you want to do it too?”

“Yes! Absolutely! But… It’s just…” now it was my turn to sigh deeply, “I’m not sure if we should. I mean… I read on the FliN that it will probably change our relationship, and nothing, no matter how amazing it feels, is worth jeopardizing that! I just… I don’t wanna lose you!”

“Oh, Ay! I’m SO glad you said all this! I thought I was going mad! From the moment I saw you after your shower, I knew I wanted to do something with you. But I didn’t have a clue what that was. Until A’vii’s sister told me about the secrets of sex. That’s the moment it all clicked inside my head. I felt so stupid and alone for thinking these thoughts…”

“I know exactly what you mean! And thank you for telling me this! I would’ve never dared to talk about it with you, and if- if…”

Before I could finish my sentence, we kissed again. We kissed deeply and intensely, and this kiss radiated throughout my entire body.

“We’re so stupid…” Nadia chuckled after we broke the kiss.

“Yes. Yes, we are!” I nodded.

Nadia lay her head on my chest, and her arms were around my waist with one hand on top of one of my ass cheeks. After another sigh, she asked, “So now what?”

“Dunno,” I replied honestly, “I don't think we should force anything, do you?”

I felt her shake her head, but she didn’t say anything.

“Maybe we should think about this some more and see where it goes,” I said as I kissed her on her head and quickly added, “But we can still do all the other stuff we saw in that pron movie!”

Nadia giggled, lifted her head, and looked at me with a twinkling in her eye, “Cool! I wouldn’t wanna miss that! Your tongue around there feels totally bisque!”

Behind us, the oven beeped, and Nadia broke our hug to grab the food. As she was bending over, I got a good look at her exposed backside. Her ass looked amazing, and I had a great view of her moist pussy lips like this. I managed to steer clear from a boner by doing the table of sixteen in my head, but it was close and would just be too awkward.

Chapter 10 - Repairs

We sat next to each other at the table, where Nadia ate her dinner and fed me mine. We got used to eating like this, and I didn’t feel like a baby anymore. I didn’t feel the need to talk about what just happened, and apparently, neither did Nadia.

“Why are the lights purple?” I asked as Nadia finished her plate.

She looked at the braces around my wrists and shrugged. “Dunno. Can you use your fingers?”

I tried wiggling my fingers, but the light immediately turned red, and my fingers didn’t move.

“Guess not,” Nadia said, “we’ll check it with the med pod later.”

After a couple of minutes of silence, Nadia said, “I think I’ve got an idea.”

“Shoot!”

“I think I can go out to fix the dish. You can watch me through my suit’s camera and guide me with what to do. I mean… it doesn’t have to be you going out there. Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I can’t fix it!”

“It’s not because you’re a girl!” I exclaimed, slightly offended by her comment, “It’s because I had the specialized training about this. It would be the same with the drilling equipment where you’re the specialist.”

“I know… I’m sorry, and you’re right. But I wanna know if we can go back to Mom and Dad, you know? We can’t stay here forever, and I don’t think they’re coming for us anytime soon.”

“Yeah… we need to do something, that’s for sure. And I think it might work, but…”

“But you need to be able to operate the CPU. I know. That’s my other idea. How about we tie one of those operating pens to your wrists so you can press the buttons that way?”

I thought about it briefly and felt stupid for not thinking of that myself. When I nodded, a smile appeared on Nadia’s face.

“That’s very smart, you know?”

Nadia beamed with pride as I said this. We discussed how to do this and made an actual mission plan together. Our primary objective was to realign the communication dish and to bring coms with the main base back online. But there were also two secondary objectives.

We needed some stuff from our transport rover. A suit for me, for example. But also additional oxygen bottles, face masks to go with the oxygen, and maybe some parts to fix the garage. The garage was the other secondary objective. Since the door was jammed, she needed to check if it was fixable. It was most likely a blown circuit board, according to the CPU’s self-tests, but if we could fix this, it would increase our chances of getting out of here.

We worked at the plan for a while. The fact we weren’t wearing any clothes wasn’t really distracting us anymore, not when we were occupied with our task.

By the time we were done, it was already late. We were hyped about our plans for tomorrow and finally knowing the situation at the main base.

As we walked toward the bedroom, Nadia put her arm around my waist. I got the hint and draped mine over her shoulder. As we walked, Nadia placed her head on my shoulder, and I lay mine against hers. It was nice, walking together like this, naked and in love. When Nadia’s hand went lower and cupped my ass, it made me smile, especially when she gently squeezed it.

We entered our bedroom, and Nadia stopped at the bed. She turned over, placed both her arms around my neck, and kissed me deeply. I put my arms around her waist, frustrated that I couldn’t use my hands to caress her back.

Before I knew it, Nadia broke the kiss and pushed at my chest. I fell back down on the bed, looked at her, and saw she had a wicked grin on her face. Nadia moved quickly, and within seconds she was turned around and lying on top of me with her head near my dick, each leg next to my face, and her pussy inches away from my mouth.

The moment I felt her lips touch my dickhead, I let out a moan, moved my face forward, and kissed her pussy. I was immediately treated with that taste I learned to love so much during the last time of eating her out and started working on my sister’s pussy.

Licking her like this was different than last time. This new position caused her hips to be turned a little, and her legs were spread a bit more. This way, her clit could be reached better, but I couldn’t get to the low end of her slit near her asshole as easily as last time. Because of this, I had to focus more on her clit and the upper half of her slit.

As I was licking away, I felt Nadia’s mouth doing all sorts of things on my cock. One of her hands was toying with my balls, while the other was on my ass with her fingers close to my opening. I was afraid a finger near my hole would put me off, but the opposite was true. She didn’t actually touch my hole, but it was interesting nevertheless. Nadia wasn’t sucking me as furiously as before, and because of that, this wasn’t a race to orgasm. We were just working on each other’s genitals with our mouths in an attempt to make the other feel as good as possible.

I liked what we were doing. The buildup was slow but deliberate this way. When Nadia felt me approaching my peak, she stopped momentarily, licked my balls, and toyed with my pubes. I did precisely the same when I felt my sister reach the higher regions of her orgasm. When her squirming and moaning got more intense, I stopped for a moment and focused on other things.

I don’t know how long we were lying like this. It felt like ages, but it was probably about half an hour of licking, sucking, grunting and moaning. But when I involuntarily started moving my hips to drive more of my dick into her mouth because of my rapidly approaching orgasm, Nadia didn’t back down. She actually started squirming more and pressed her pussy firmly against my face.

We didn’t need to talk about this. We both just knew this was it. Nadia doubled her effort on my dick, and I was treated with copious amounts of her fantastic juices that I lapped up eagerly.

It was as if I was covered with a blanket of ants. There were tiny tingles all over my body, all accumulating in my balls. I moaned loudly on my twin's pussy as I felt my balls pull up.

At the same time, Nadia moaned loudly, and another gush of her cunt juices came out. Her pussy lips started opening and closing rapidly, and her body lay perfectly still on top of mine. I felt her muscles tighten all over, and gush after gush of her sweet nectar filled my mouth.

She was cumming, and she came strongly. This realization hit me so hard that I couldn’t hold back anymore. I lifted my ass off the bed, and as my balls unloaded themselves, Nadia sucked hard on my dick, swallowing everything I had to offer.

Having to work for it and not being able to only focus on the good feelings during my orgasm was a first, but not unpleasant at all. I had to divide my attention between my sister's orgasm and my own, which kept me slightly horny after I came.

Nadia was still slowly sucking on my softening dick, and I lazily lapped around her lips after we came. The flow of her juices had died down, but it was still fun to trigger her pussy like this. Nadia let my dick slip from her mouth and said, “There’s no more sperm. Too bad…”

She climbed off of me, turned around, and cuddled up to me. She had a massive grin on her face and kissed me on my cheek as she settled in for the night.

“I love your sperm,” she said softly.

“I love how you taste down there,” I whispered back.

After a couple of minutes of silence, Nadia said, “We don’t need to have, you know… real sex to feel good, do we?”

“Nope,” I replied, “but everything we did so far felt better than what we did before that, so…”

Nadia giggled at that and said, “Guess you’re right.”

Another silence. Out of the blue, Nadia said, “When you were on painkillers…”

“What about that?” I asked cautiously.

“You said you had… dreams, right?”

“I thought they were dreams, yes…”

“We didn’t just kiss, you know?”

I froze at that last comment. What else did I do? I didn’t rape my sister or anything else really bad, did I?

“When I was preparing the med pod, you…”

“Uh oh…” I said, trying to break the ice.

Nadia chuckled. She looked at me and said, “Nothing bad, don’t worry. You… kissed and sucked my breasts.”

“Oh… I remember that! It was a wonderful dream…” I answered, feeling relieved it wasn’t anything stupid I did.

“I liked that,” Nadia said softly, and I could see her blush.

“Bisque…”

“I think that was when I knew I could do more with you. I was unsure what you wanted, but it was clear as day at that moment.”

I pulled her close to me and hugged her the best I could. I kissed her on her head and said, “And I’m SO glad we did!”

“Me too…”

After that, we kissed some more. We Frenched for a while, but mostly we kissed tenderly and just enjoyed the closeness between us.

“I didn’t do anything else, did I?” I asked after we broke the kiss.

“You danced the Hokey-Pokey and barked like a dog. But other than that…” Nadia chuckled.

I poked her in her ribs, causing her to squeal and laugh. I tried looking all serious at her, but I knew I failed miserably.

“No. That was it,” Nadia said eventually.

“Thank God!”

Before I knew it, I drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Despite being alone on a distant planet inside an abandoned base, I felt safe and at ease with the situation.

* * *

I was awakened by the shuffling of the bed. I assumed Nadia had to go to the bathroom. But when her hand gripped my dick moments later, and I felt something wet on the tip of it, I had to open my eyes.

I looked down and expected her lips around the tip of my dick, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw her squatting above my crotch, guiding my hard cock toward the opening of her pussy.

“Wh- what are you doing?” I stammered groggily.

Nadia didn’t look at me, was only focused on getting my dick between her legs, and said, “I wanna try something…”

“Are… are you gonna stick it in? Because…”

“No! I just want to try this.”

“But…”

“I’m not sticking it in!” she said, slightly annoyed.

I moaned as she started moving my dick around over her moist pussy. Nadia’s goal wasn’t to get me off. She was just doing this to make herself feel good.

“Oh, wow…” she moaned excitedly as she rubbed my dickhead over her clit.

“This is… ohh… bisque… hmm…”

We both moaned and grunted as Nadia used my dick as her personal pleasure tool. It was pretty amazing, knowing how she was using me like this for her own pleasure. But the effect on me was also pretty mind-boggling.

Nadia groaned and shifted a little. It was clear that she wasn’t comfortable in the position she was in. So I said, “Lay on your back,” and moved to my side.

Nadia lay on her back and looked expectantly at me. I scooted closer, my dick pointing forward toward my twin sister’s opening. I pushed it down with my wrist as I scooted closer. My dick touched her sopping wet pussy, and it slid up right away, brushing her clit. Nadia moaned loudly and had the horniest look in her eyes I ever saw up until then.

She grabbed my dick and started using it as a paintbrush and moved it all over her pussy. This was amazing and felt nearly the same as when she sucked me. But the idea of being so close to entering her and having real sex was an added layer that brought me quite close to shooting my load again.

Nadia must’ve seen the look on my face because she grabbed my dickhead, and used it to focus on rubbing her clit. My sole task was to move as little as possible and not shoot my sperm. But this was a lot to ask! Each time the underside of my dickhead came into contact with my sister's clit, a shot of electricity shot through me. And now she was rubbing them constantly together.

“Ohh… I’m close… to… aahhhb!” I groaned.

Nadia kept rubbing for a few moments and then surprised me by moving my dick down.

“Oohhh… you… ahhh… Shoot in here,” she moaned.

The tip of my dickhead touched her silky soft, warm, and moist flesh. The moment I realized I was right at her entrance, I lost it.

“NNGGGGHHH!” I grunted in a vain attempt to hold back.

But I was already tumbling down the hill as my orgasm hit me. My dick twitched, and as my first spurt entered my sister, I felt her pussy lips squeeze tight, and my dick slid back. The three spurts that followed landed on her pussy and a bit on her pubes.

In front of me, my sister was twitching on the bed, panting heavily and still on the high of her orgasm. I had regained just enough of my wits to push my hips forward and rub her pussy again. But I had to stop right away because my dickhead was just too sensitive.

I placed one hand on her knee to steady myself while Nadia returned to the land of the living. She looked at me and blushed. Her guilty look puzzled me initially, but as I lay down next to her, it dawned on me.

“That was BISQUE!!” I exclaimed, hoping to wash away her guilt.

“It was, right?” she panted.

“Yeah… especially when you, you know… lined me up…”

She was quiet for a moment and said, “I was afraid you wouldn’t like it. Because, you know… it’s almost sex?”

“Almost sex isn’t real sex,” I said and kissed her on her cheek.

We were silent for a few minutes when Nadia put her hands between her legs and giggled, “We need a shower.”

Nadia and I showered together, and she made sure I was clean all over, including the important places. We still had the four-minute limit to shower in our system, so we did everything quickly and efficiently. Showering together wasn’t anything sexual we did, but it was amazing to be this close and open with each other.

After the shower, we ate breakfast and made our plans for the day. There was no point in waiting any longer for the main base to come and search for us. It was even more likely that they had more significant problems than we did. And the weather wasn’t too bad either. Just mild rain and no wind.

As we walked toward the airlock, I could feel Nadia’s nervousness. I tried putting her at ease by cracking a few jokes, but they didn’t land. Right before she entered the airlock. She fiddled with the sticks she had tied to my wrists to check if they were still fastened enough. After she confirmed they were, she took a deep breath.

I hugged her tightly and said, “You’ve got this! Don’t worry. You managed to get both of us inside on your own, so this should be a breeze. I’m with you over the coms constantly.”

“I know. But it’s scary to do this alone, you know?”

“Yeah. If anything happens that you don’t trust, just come back, and we’ll try again later. If there’s another quake, drop to the surface of the station. You’re under the shields that way, and you can wait it out safely. You’ll be fine! I’m sure!”

“Thanks, Ay! I… I love you…”

We kissed each other, and after she broke the hug, she entered the airlock. The tension was all over her face, and I felt sorry for her. The annoyance about my fingers boiled up again, but I managed to stay focused on the task at hand.

After I couldn’t see my sister anymore, I rushed back to the control room. I sat down and made sure the pins on my wrists were still tight. Next, I pressed some buttons, and Nadia’s camera feed showed up on the screen. Her helmet with the cameras was still on the bench, and I could only see my sister’s legs. But a moment later, the camera shook, and Nadia clicked the helmet in place on her suit.

“Coms check,” she said.

“Coms okay. Let’s go,” I replied and tried to sound as calm as I could.

But the nervousness Nadia felt was also in my system. During training, it was decided that I would do the external tasks, and not being in control now had an effect on me I didn’t expect. But I tried to hide this from Nadia and maybe talk about it after this was done.

“Head over to the rover now. Cameras show there’s no debris over there, so it should be easy.”

“Check. Heading over to the rover.”

“Vision is clear on all cameras,” I said as I checked out the different monitors, “you’re doing great, Sis!”

“Yeah… I’m pretty awesome.”

Through her helmet cam, I could follow her every move. And the outside feeds provided me the bigger picture. Nadia grabbed the antenna repair kit, which was a flight case containing several components that were easily replaceable.

“You okay?” I asked after she had climbed the ladder to the back end of the building.

“Yeah. It’s easier than I thought.”

“Good. Wanna hear another joke?”

“Oh boy…”

“Two wind turbines stand in a field. One asks the other: so, what kind of music are you into? The other replies: oh! I’m a huge metal fan!”

It was awfully quiet for a moment, but then I heard a muffled giggle.

“Get it?” I pressed, knowing how much she likes it when I play dumb and explain a joke, “A metal fan… because he’s a-“

“I get it!” Nadia interrupted, giggling audibly now.

“You know you like me…”

“You’re an idiot …”

She walked a little further, and when she rounded the corner, the antenna dish came into view.

“There it is,” Nadia said, and I saw she doubled her pace.

Nadia kneeled down at its base, and we started our work. I could talk Nadia through everything easier than anticipated. After a bit of testing and troubleshooting, it turned out the alignment motor was off. It appeared to work, and all the tests said it was okay, but it just wouldn’t align the dish properly.

Thankfully, the repair kit contained a spare motor. It was connected with just four bolts and a simple connector that Nadia could loosen and tighten easily with the automatic screwdriver from the kit.

“Done. Anything else?” Nadia asked after tightening the last bolt.

“I’ll start the calibration sequence. Just a sec.”

It wasn’t easy operating the CPU with just two sticks, but eventually, I managed to start the sequence. The dish started rotating left to right and up and down, and after a few minutes, the green light lit up next to the operational status on the screen.

“Looks like it’s working,” I said.

“Yess!” Nadia exclaimed.

“Just… one… more… thing…” I said as I started the self-test sequence.

“Self-test running. 1% complete.” appeared on the screen. After a minute had passed, it read, “Self-test running. 1.2% complete.”

“It’s running a full diagnostic test. It can take a while before we can search for the home base’s signal. You might as well come back now.”

“Roger. Returning to base. Next stop: garage door!”

After about an hour of walking, fiddling, and testing, Nadia had inserted a spare circuit board. All sorts of lights started blinking, and with a loud noise, the garage door opened. It was almost as if it protested against being used.

“I really am awesome, ain’t I?” Nadia exclaimed after the door opened completely.

“No point in denying that,” I laughed.

Now that we had fixed the two errors and were off the hook, I figured I might as well pull a prank on my sister. So, I opened up her suit settings, hesitated a brief moment, and activated the massage function at her crotch.

“What the…” came over the radio a moment later.

“What’s up?” I asked innocently.

“You know damn well what’s up… Oohh…”

“Just kidding. I’ll switch it off.”

“No! Leave… aaahhh, it on,” Nadia said, panting a little already.

“I wonder why they built this in. It doesn’t seem to serve a purpose other than… you know…”

“Maybe it’s because of…”

Nadia was quiet for a second, but I could still hear her panting. When she didn’t continue, I said, “Maybe when there’s a wound in that area, it can stop the bleeding?”

“I don’t care! It feels good!”

“Just as good as what we did earlier?”

“Oh no! That was WAY… ohh… better!”

On the camera feeds, I could see she was still walking toward the rover, but her pace had slowed down considerably.

“I, uhm… I liked shooting my stuff on your…” I said timidly.

“Ahh.. that was totally bisque! I liked that SO… ohh much! I think we shou- hey!”

“What’s the matter?” I asked, now quickly checking all camera feeds to see what had happened.

“What did you do? The massaging stopped!”

“I didn’t,” I said and checked the suit settings.

“I can’t turn it back on again,” Nadia said, and I saw through her helmet cam she was pressing the buttons on her wrist pad.

I also tried to re-enable the massage function, but it wouldn’t start either. I tried to overrule it, but another beep told me it wouldn’t work.

“Well… that’s a bummer,” I said.

“Major a-hole who built this! Bring people to their peak, and then…” Nadia grumbled as she got into the rover.

“It's weird… why would they build it like this?”

I saw Nadia powering up the rover, and she said, “I don’t know. But you better be ready for it when I come back. I need to finish this, and I know you’ve got the perfect tool to help me with that!”

This made me blush, and my dick rose to full mast when I realized what we were going to do in a couple of minutes.

“But…” I stammered, a bit overwhelmed by my sister’s determination on this subject.

“Look… it feels good for both of us. So why not do it?”

I caught myself shrugging, but knowing she couldn’t see me, I said, “Good point, I guess. But isn’t, you know… sticking it in, like… sex?”

“If it’s just the tip, I don’t think so. Do you?”

“Dunno. Guess you’re right,” I said, acutely aware of my twitching boner.

I was beaming with anticipation as I watched Nadia unload the rover and place all the spare stuff in their respective places. Was I really going to stick the tip of my dick into my sister’s pussy, or was she just yanking my chain? Or maybe we’d do what we did this morning?

“I think we can call this a success,” Nadia said, snapping me out of my thoughts, “I’m coming back inside.”

“You did great! I couldn’t have done it better myself. Diagnostic is at sixty-three percent and counting.”

“I’ll see you in our bedroom,” Nadia replied emotionlessly.

I practically ran to our bedroom. The moment I stepped inside, I was unsure what to do. Lie down or sit on the bed? Lean against the wall and try to look all cool?

As I was contemplating this, I heard a sound behind me. Before I knew it, Nadia’s hand sneaked over my hip and gripped my dick at its base, and started stroking it up and down. Nadia had tiptoed toward me and whispered in my ear, “Good! Nice and hard already…”

Her hand didn’t leave my dick as I turned around. I kissed her on her mouth, and she immediately opened her lips to let my tongue in. We Frenched for a couple of moments before she broke the kiss, looked me in my eyes, gave my dick a squeeze, and said, “I need this, and I need it now…”

“What happened to you?” I chuckled, “Not that I mind…”

“I guess I’m just… what did they call it in that movie? Horny?”

“Bisque…”

Nadia let go of my dick and got on the bed. She obscenely spread her legs and looked at me with a look I hadn’t seen before.

“Come on, big brother. Help your poor little sister…”

I loved this version of Nadia! I was way too shy to take the lead. This way, I only had to go with the flow. And it turned me on immensely. I crawled on my knees between her legs again, my hard dick pointing the way. The moment Nadia could reach it, she was rubbing my dickhead all over her pussy, focusing on her clit.

“Ooohhh… YESS!” she moaned the moment we made contact.

I got as comfortable as possible and lay my hand on her knees. She had pulled her feet toward her ass, causing her knees to stick up. Holding on to them was an excellent way to steady myself.

The feeling of her slippery wet pussy on my dick was indescribable. Knowing I was giving my sister an even better feeling this way turned me on even more.

“Ohhh… I’m close! I…” Nadia whispered between her ragged pants.

The suit had given her a headstart over me. I knew I wasn’t here for my own pleasure, so I let her have her way. And sure enough, before long, I saw the now telltale signs of her approaching climax. Ragged breaths, head moving around, soft whimpering. All signs I learned recently.

“Aaahh!!!” Nadia grunted.

Her body stiffened, and she arched her back. As she came, she lay perfectly still, pressing my dickhead firmly against her clit.

My own dick was tingling all over, and I realized I was closer than I anticipated. Being the source of my sister’s pleasure, and her moist, velvety pussy, probably also helped a lot. Nadia opened her eyes and smiled at me. She checked me out from head to toe and slowly started rubbing my dick around again.

“Now it’s time for the grand finale,” she said, giggling coyly.

“Ahh… you ohh… won’t have to wait too long…”

Nadia increased the pace, and I saw her body twitch every now and then.

“I’m still… hmmm… cumming a… ohh… little.”

I didn’t understand that. Once you came, you were done, right? “Girls are more complicated,” I thought.

“I think… I…”

Before I could finish my sentence, Nadia rubbed my dickhead down toward her entrance. A heartbeat later, I felt her warm lips against the tip of my dick again. I looked wide-eyed at my sister as she pushed it firmer against her. I had to move slightly, and that’s when I felt it!

My dickhead was surrounded by the most amazing soft, moist, silky, and slippery thing I ever felt up until then. There was a minor popping sensation as her lips closed again behind the rim of my dickhead. I looked down at her pussy, and my dickhead was now gone!

“Hmmmm!! Ohhh…” Nadia moaned.

“I… I… I…” was all I could say.

The realization I was a little inside my twin sister was all it took. My balls pulled up, and I heard myself grunt loudly.

The moment the first spurt left my dick, Nadia also grunted loudly, and her pussy started gripping my dick even more firmly. It was as if she tried pulling me inside. The way I was sitting made it impossible, but if I’d let my instincts take over, I would’ve definitely pushed all the way inside.

This realization happened in a millisecond inside my head. The second and third spurt were also coming out, and everything ended up inside my sister’s sopping wet pussy. Nadia was still having her orgasm as mine died down a little.

My eyes got their vision back, and seeing only my shaft stick out from my body and disappear between my sister’s legs was an incredible sight.

“Mother of God!” Nadia exclaimed.

“I didn’t know…” I stammered.

As much as I hated it, I knew I should pull out. Otherwise, we might end up having real sex, and we didn’t want that. Right?

I was starting to second-guess this decision but pulled out nevertheless. A strange feeling washed over me as I felt the cold hit my wet, glistening dickhead. Nadia looked a little disappointed for a brief moment. But as I moved over to lie down next to her, she smiled warmly at me.

“I absolutely LOVE using your dick on me! And feeling you shoot your stuff inside is just sooo… bisque!” Nadia said excitedly as she cuddled up and draped her body half on mine.

I felt her breasts on my chest and loved how excited she was and even more that I was the cause of that. I hesitated slightly and said, “If this was only the tip, I can’t even begin to imagine what real sex must feel like!”

“I know, right? Too bad we can’t, though…” she trailed off.

Good! She wanted to try it. Maybe I’d have a chance to try it out. If only for once. We lay like that for a few more minutes when Nadia said, “We really need to check that radio, Ay.”

“I know! But you keep using me for your own personal needs…”

“Shut up!” Nadia laughed and slapped me playfully on my chest.

She patted my now soft dick and softly said, “It IS the best part of you, that’s for sure.”

Now, it was my turn to act offended, but after a good, long, and tender kiss, we headed over to the control room.

Chapter 11 – The News

“Acquiring signal…” and ten seconds later, the text, “Sending ping…” showed up on the radio’s control screen. This repeated every thirty seconds.

“Just a few more minutes, I guess,” I said to Nadia, who sat next to me.

My eyes roamed to her bare chest every now and then. Even though I saw her boobs almost constantly now, my eyes were still drawn to them every time I thought she wouldn’t notice me looking.

“Takes longer than I thought,” Nadia said.

She had logged on to another system and was browsing around on it. I noticed her going through the schematics of the suits, and on another window, she had some information about the med pods.

“Yeah. Usually, it’s a lot faster.”

“Do you think something’s wrong?” Nadia asked worriedly after a couple of moments.

“I… I honestly don’t know.”

“What if we’re the only humans left?”

“We’re not. And we can always try to contact the Zephyr. There’s still a skeleton crew on it.”

“But we need the main base’s radio to contact them, don’t we?”

“Yes…” I replied softly.

“But what if there’s no-“

“Don’t think like that. We’ll work something out if we have to,” I interrupted her.

“I’m not saying,”

At that moment, the screen showed, “Connection acquired. Securing channels.”

“YES!!” we simultaneously exclaimed.

“Data flow starting. Lemme check the systems,” Nadia said.

I looked over her shoulder and quickly realized it wasn’t good. It took us a while, but it was clear that the reason the connection took so long to start was that our dish had to failover to the tertiary connection. This could only mean the primary and backup radios were offline.

“Do you know why the primary radio is offline,” I asked cautiously after a while.

“Yes. I think I do. Look.”

Nadia opened a 3D model of the main base. The middle part, where the central hall and command center were located, was collapsed. The left part of the base showed some damage but was mostly still intact. The right side, where most of the sleeping and residential chambers were, looked unharmed.

“This is a generated model based on the CPU’s information. Looks like they suffered a catastrophic failure after the quake,” Nadia said softly.

“Well… shit!” I said, feeling bummed out.

“I’m trying to retrieve the logs, but the data is too scrambled. I tried all error corrections there are, but I can’t see anything useful.”

“So… we don’t know if they’re still inside, went into some shelter, or left?”

“No. As far as I can tell, it could be all three of these options.”

I thought about it for a moment. What should we do? What if Mom and Dad were in there? What if they were trapped? And after a moment, the realization hit… what if we were really only the last two people left?

Nadia slouched back into her chair and looked defeated. I felt the same as she looked, but I knew we had to move forward. Try to find out what happened and act on that.

I cleared my throat and said, “We need to go over there and check it out.”

“I know,” Nadia sighed, “but what if…”

“We don’t know anything,” I interrupted her, “and besides… not knowing is even worse than knowing what happened. Even when… well, you know…”

“You’re right. I know you’re right! But I wasn’t expecting anything this bad. And seeing the simulation about the base makes me… sad, I guess.”

I moved over to give Nadia a firm hug, which she eagerly returned. As I gently tried to break it after a short while, she pulled me close and hugged me even tighter.

“We’ll work it out. I promise!” I whispered in her ear.

“I know. And I’m glad you’re with me. I wouldn’t know what to do without you,” Nadia said as we broke the hug.

“All right! First things first. How do we get there?” I asked and looked at the monitors.

“Good question,” she said.

Nadia looked thoughtfully at me. She turned her chair and faced her computer. She typed frantically, scrolled around, and nodded a few times. I felt useless but knew this was precisely what Nadia was good at, so I let her do her thing.

After a while, she said, “I think we’ve got three options. First, the rover. But we need to take that long detour because of…”

“I know…”

“Second, now that the coms are back, we can also use the low-altitude cruiser.”

“Good one! Didn’t think of that!” I said, “We can’t fly it, but it can fly on its own with the beaconing system back online.”

“Right. It’ll be quick, but we’d also need to recharge that old equipment for almost an entire day. But, I don’t think either the rover or the cruiser are our best options. We won’t know what we’ll find, so we need to be able to return here if needed.”

“Don’t we have enough daylight for a return trip in the rover?”

“It’ll be tight. And that’s without the time we need to check the main base.”

“Hmm. And the third option?”

“I saw a couple of dirtbikes in the garage. Those are fast, so we don’t need the detour, and we can go back and forth twice on a single charge. We just can’t take any big parts with us. We’ve only got our backpacks and the small storage compartments for the stuff we wanna take with us.”

I was genuinely impressed. This was a great idea! But then a thought struck. I couldn’t drive a dirt bike with my hands still in the braces.

Nadia must have seen my reaction because she said, “You can ride with me. Or…”

“Or what?”

“Those purple lights? I checked what they mean.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. According to this,” she said and opened up a window on her computer to show me, “it’s the final stage of recovery. The active reconstruction of the nerves and bones is completed, and now it’s just a precaution to stop your fingers from moving.”

“Why? If it’s cured, it’s cured, right?”

“There are known cases where patients lost the feeling in their hand. If that happens, it means an invasive surgery and at least six weeks of recovery. So that’s why those braces are on the safe side by default.”

“Well… shit!” I said.

“We can take off the braces. It’s just… a bit of a risk.”

How big is that risk?” I asked, feeling apprehensive about it. But the idea of regaining the use of my fingers was very appealing.

“A little less than five percent.”

I let this sink in for a moment. Five percent is pretty high. One in every twenty people. But this would make our trip a lot easier.

“I think it’s a risk worth taking, don’t you think?” I said.

“They're your hands. So, I’ll leave it up to you, but it makes the trip to the main base a lot easier. And we managed just fine in here without the use of your hands, so I think we can also last six weeks if we have to.”

“I think we should take them off tomorrow before we head out. And you’re right. We did manage in here because of you.”

“Because of us,” Nadia said sternly, with an emphasis on ‘us’. And a moment later, she blushed and said, “But I DID like some things about helping you…”

“Yeah… me too. But that doesn’t have to stop,” I said, smiling broadly.

“Bisque…”

We talked about our plans for tomorrow. In the morning, my braces would come off, and we’d grab the two backpacks we were going to prepare this evening. Nadia had already checked the status of the bikes from her computer, and five of them were fully charged, so there was no problem there.

We’d head out early so we could use most of the available daylight. Our goal was to enter the main base through the emergency exit at the back of the compound. This exit/entrance was located in the section where the living quarters were. We’d have the best chance to enter the base there and see if the quarters were occupied.

After we made our plans, I helped Nadia with the backpacks. Although helping is kind of a stretch. I pointed out things she could put in there. We also prepared the suits for tomorrow and made sure everything was in working order.

As we entered the bedroom, Nadia went to the toilet. I crawled into bed, unsure what we’d do next. I really liked what we did so far and wanted nothing more than to do sexy stuff with my sister. But I just wasn’t in the mood at the moment. The tension about the trip and what we’d find tomorrow was at the top of my mind. Doing sexy stuff simply wasn’t.

Nadia looked all serious as she came out of the bathroom. Checking out her naked body never got old, and since Nadia didn’t seem to mind, I let my eyes roam. They went from her small boobs, over her tight belly, down to her small patch of pubes above her lovely slit, and ended up on her sweet ass as she lifted the covers to get in.

She immediately cuddled up to me, and as I was thinking about how I’d probably still join her with the sexy stuff if she’d started it, Nadia cleared her throat.

“Let’s just cuddle, okay?” she asked softly.

“Bisque…”

“I’m scared, Ay”, she said after a few minutes of silence.

“Me too. But as long as we’re together, I know we’ll be fine!”

“That sounds corny…” Nadia chuckled.

I also chuckled and had to admit it sounded really corny indeed. Nadia moved her hand down and cupped my balls.

“I just wanna hold you. Do you mind?”

“Of course not. Feels nice.”

She relaxed her hand and arm, and it was clear she had settled in for the night. I liked how her hand on my balls felt. And despite her thumb on the base of my dick and hand cupping my balls, I didn’t bone up. It was just an extremely lovely way to cuddle like this.

“I hope I can sleep,” Nadia softly said.

I just nodded and let tomorrow’s plans pass through my head again to make sure we weren’t overlooking something. After a couple of minutes, I heard Nadia’s breathing deepen and smiled inwardly.

* * *

“Ready?” Nadia asked as her hand hovered over the med pod’s computer panel.

I nodded and looked at my braces. A second later, a loud beep sounded, and the lights turned green. I felt a slight tingle in my wrists, and the braces opened. Nadia took them and laid them inside the med pod.

I tried wiggling my fingers and was glad to see them move. It didn’t hurt at all, and when Nadia brushed her fingers over the back of my hand, I felt them move.

“That’s some good news. According to that article I read, you're not out of the woods yet. The numbness can still happen, but this is definitely a good start.”

“Bisque! Let’s grab the backpacks and head downstairs,” I said.

In the central control room, Nadia set the base to hibernation mode. This way, we could always return, and the base would continue to operate. After everything checked out, we grabbed the backpacks.

“It’ll be weird wearing clothes again,” I said as we approached the inner airlock.

“Yeah… but at least now I won’t be hypnotized all the time by your swaying dick anymore,” Nadia chuckled.

We both laughed at that and entered the first airlock. After we suited up and went through the second airlock, we headed over to the bikes. The bikes were about six feet long and about three feet high.

They weren’t anything like the vintage dirtbikes we saw in the movies. These wheels were smaller, and the tires were a lot bigger. They had the same tractor-like look as the tires on the rover and were as high as my hip. With the ten-inch width, they had loads of grip on rough terrain.

Under the big seat of the bike, there was a storage compartment. We placed the backpacks in there. We also checked the spare oxygen tanks, and after each of them hissed loudly after we opened the valves, we knew we were ready to go.

I mounted my bike, and the front and back wheels moved toward each other. The whole motorcycle rose higher, and my feet were now about two feet from the ground. This way, we had both excellent suspension and enough clearance to drive over almost every piece of terrain.

I rotated the throttle at the handlebars and drove toward the control panel of the garage door. I glanced over at Nadia, and she simply nodded. I pressed the button, and the door opened.

“Coms check.”

“Coms okay,” Nadia replied, “I’ll be right behind you.”

The rain wasn’t that heavy today, and the ground wasn’t muddy at all, so we made good progress. The AR navigation system in my helmet projected the ideal path to drive, and we were at our crash site in no time.

I glanced at the rock that killed our brother and was glad there were no signs of his body. The confrontation of his accident was bad enough as it was. But I didn’t want to dwell on it, so I drove toward the small opening between the canyon wall and the massive boulder in the middle of the road. It was a tight fit, but we could pass through it with our bikes without any significant problems.

“You okay?” I asked after we both passed through.

“Yeah. But it’s… you know?”

Yeah. But… we… you know, need to keep going. So, let’s roll.”

The electric engines hummed softly as we pulled away. As we drove through the canyon, the only signs that we were here before were the lights beside the road. The rain had washed away all other evidence. We had to drive around a couple more fallen rocks, but other than that, the trip through the canyon was uneventful.

After we had left the canyon behind us, it was smooth sailing toward the main base. No more fallen rocks or rugged terrain. Nadia pulled up next to me, and we drove next to each other for a while.

“If I wasn’t this worried about Mom and Dad, I’d say it’s a beautiful planet,” Nadia said.

“It sure is.”

We approached the top of a small hill, and I knew we had to be close to the base by now. But when I saw it appear in the distance, I was shocked by how it looked.

It was still a bit too far away to see much detail, but what I could see from here was that the 3D model was pretty accurate about the damage.

“Oh wow,” Nadia said as she stopped next to me.

We stood there for a couple of minutes, and I felt an incredible urge to check out the damage. Maybe there were still people inside!

“Come on,” I said, turning the gas handle fully open with rocks shooting away from under my tires.

As we came closer, I felt my stomach tighten. This was bad. The middle part of the base had collapsed completely, and the part where the labs and workshops were located was also damaged. It wasn’t nearly as bad as the central hub, but still.

“At least the airlock is still functional,” I said as I stepped off my bike and assessed the damage to the structure of the living quarters.

I looked at my sister as she grabbed her backpack. The look on her face showed it all. She was just as scared as I was, but I knew I couldn’t show it. I needed to be strong, but this wasn’t easy. I was so worried about what we’d find in there that I almost shitted myself.

“Grab the oxygen tank. We need to wear our masks inside, just to be safe.”

Nadia didn’t say anything but grabbed her stuff and stood next to me. After I grabbed my backpack and oxygen tank, we headed to the airlock.

“See you on the other side,” Nadia said and entered the airlock first.

As I entered the changing room, a hatch opened, and a bot appeared. It drove to the center of the room. Once there, it opened, and the clothes I took off when we left hung inside that bot.

A couple of minutes later, we stood, fully dressed in our own clothes, inside the living part of the main base. We both were wearing our oxygen masks, just to be sure.

This part of the base didn’t look too damaged. There wasn’t an alarm sounding, the ceiling hadn’t collapsed, no loud hisses of venting steam pipes, nothing like you’d see in the movies. There was just an eerie quietness around us.

Usually, people were walking and talking in this part of the building. But now, it was just the two of us.

“HELLO!?” I shouted, followed by an even louder, “ANYONE IN HERE?!”

We both yelled a couple of times, but after no one reacted, we stopped shouting and focused on other things. Nadia checked a control panel on the wall. After a few moments, she said, “The air seems okay, and there are no signs of a breach anywhere.”

“That must mean the automatic inner seals did their job. Let’s see if there’s a way left to go to the central control room.”

We both enabled our internal nav system. I was notified immediately that there wasn’t a standard route to that destination, and a loud, annoying beep sounded in my ear. But Nadia kept fiddling, and after a couple of moments, she said, “There might be a way, but I’m not sure if it’s still there.”

“Just lead the way, and we’ll see.”

We walked through parts of the base I’d never been to before. But eventually, we rounded a corner and had to stop at a glass door. Through the door, we saw the devastation of the central part of the base. The entire primary structure was gone.

The central hub where we had our first briefing, the command module, the garage, storage… everything was gone!

“This is bad…” I said softly.

“Do you think Dad was in the command center when it… happened?”

“Dunno. Let’s check their room. Maybe we’ll find something there. There’s nothing left on this side anyway.”

I entered my parent’s room as a destination in my nav, and before we knew it, we were standing in front of their door. I hesitated momentarily but eventually swiped my wrist over the lock pad. After a soft beep, the door slid open, and I walked in. Nadia decided to wait in the hallway, and I couldn’t blame her. We had no idea what to expect here. But as I looked around, nothing was shocking in there, so I called that she could come in.

She quickly looked around and whispered, “They’re gone…”

I didn’t want to hear this. Our parents wouldn’t abandon us. So, with a bit of fire in my voice, I said, “No, they’re not! They’re probably hiding-“

She interrupted me and pointed at the closet, “Their clothes are gone.”

Damnit! She was right! The closet door was open, and I could see the empty shelves. Why did they leave? What happened here? That’s when I noticed the holo cube on the main table. The small, blinking green light got my attention.

“Someone left a message,” I said as I hovered my finger above the small cube.

“Well?” Nadia said with an anxious look on her face.

I pressed the cube, and after it scanned my fingertips, it buzzed. In front of the table, a holographic image of our mom appeared. In the background, we could hear Dad say, “Okay, go!”

She nodded and looked directly at the cube, something we’ve told her dozens of times not to do and pretend people are standing around you. Mom never seemed to learn, and I felt stupid for thinking about something this unimportant at this moment.

“Aidan? Nadia? I know you’re still alive, and I just know you’ll see this! Listen very carefully because we don’t have much time to explain.”

Mom sniffed and blew her nose. She cleared her throat, looked at her feet, and was clearly trying to keep her act together. She was shifting her weight from left to right, took a deep breath, and continued.

“We constantly kept an eye on your sensors from here. I wanted to make sure that everything went well, so we had a monitor session open in here... Right before we got the quake announcement, Ethan’s sensors went offline. And that’s when the quake hit us. Thank God your father was in here with me when the quake hit. Otherwise, he’d also be…” Mom stopped talking, and we heard her choke up.

“Take a breath, Hon,” we heard Dad say.

Mom sighed deeply again and continued, “After the quake, there was a blind panic in here. Your father and I had to keep checking the monitors and sensors ourselves from the control panel in our room. When the monitor had power again, we noticed your sensors and the rover were offline. It was hard to reach people who knew all about these sensors, but we were told your rover must’ve been crushed or something. So, I called the technician who had talked to…”

“Uhm... a little faster, Hon,” Dad said in the background.

“Yes. Long story short… the Zephyr pointed a camera at your site, and it turned out to be a video feed that showed us almost nothing. Your last known location was empty but littered with big rocks and boulders. There was also a recording from that same camera that showed Ethan when he… But when the quake happened, that camera was pointed to the main base. After we rechecked your site, we couldn’t find the rover anywhere, and everyone assumed you were crushed. And that you were also…”

Another sniff and another deep breath. She focused on the cube and said, “But I just know you’re alive! I can feel it!!! And now…”

She started crying, and Dad walked into the picture. He put an arm around her shoulders and looked thoughtfully at us.

“Guys… we need to warn you. There’s no easy way to say this. The quake wasn’t even the worst thing that happened. When you see this, we’re going to the Zephyr because…” he sighed deeply, “because there’s a huge meteor coming our way.”

I looked at Nadia, and the stunned expression on her face matched my feelings of disbelief.

“This meteor,” Dad continued, “was spotted about ten minutes before the quake hit us. It is one of the planet-killing types. Even bigger than the one that killed the dinosaurs on Earth. We don’t know for sure if it’ll hit us because we don’t have all the necessary equipment to measure it precisely. But trust me, it’ll be close.”

“Holy moly,” I whispered.

Nadia walked over and put her arms around me. She pressed herself against me, and I heard her sniff. But the hologram kept talking.

“I promise we’ll keep scanning the planet to see if we can find you, but the Zephyr only has limited equipment for this. But please! When you see this, head down to the shelter in basement eight. It’s designed to withstand almost everything. If there’s any-“

Loud sirens and flashing lights started in the background. Dad looked at the cube and said, “We have to go now. PLEASE! Go to that basement! We WILL find you. I promise!”

A couple of guys appeared in the background and grabbed Mom. “We love you!” she shouted and was taken out of the room.

“Stay safe! I’m the commander, and I promise I’ll do everything I can to…” he looked up at the man and held up one finger of his hand. The man nodded, and Dad said, “Go to the basement! We love you!”

And with that, the holograms disappeared, and we were alone again. Nadia turned her body to hug me tightly, and she started crying. I comforted her but felt a wave of panic and hopelessness wash over me. What should we do?

After a couple of moments, Nadia stopped crying and looked at me. Her eyes were swollen, and her cheeks were wet. But I felt such a deep, intense love for my sister at that moment I knew I would do anything to protect her. We needed to seek shelter, and we needed to know how much time we had. And on top of that, we needed to let our parents know we were here.

“Mom and Dad are alive. At least that’s some good news, right?” Nadia smiled weakly.

I chuckled at that. This was precisely what I liked so much about her. She always tried to see the positive side of things.

“Yes. But they’re about three hundred miles above us. We need to let them know we’re here. And we need to know how much time we have until that meteor crashes.”

“But the control center is gone.”

“I know. And that’s a big problem because the primary and secondary antenna arrays are also gone.”

We sat down at the table, each lost in our thoughts. I tried hard to think of a way out of this. If the Zephyr had their cameras pointed to the base and was at the right place in orbit, they may have seen us going in. But what if the camera was pointed toward the Meteor? Or at some other big problem? And what if the orbit they were currently in meant that they could only see us every six hours or so? Then they’d definitely missed us. No. We needed to contact the Zephyr. That was our top priority. Finding out the time we had until impact was second.

“Do you think we can contact the Zephyr from here?” I asked Nadia.

“Dunno. The tertiary antenna rig is designed for on-planet communications only. The other antennas are gone.”

“And we don’t have the command center anymore, so there is no way to control the antenna…” I added, feeling defeated.

“We’d better head to the basement. Nothing we can do here,” Nadia said as she got up.

“Guess you’re right.”

Chapter 12 – Shelter

We were quiet as we walked down the stairs. Basement eight was the deepest one the base had, and it doubled as a bomb shelter slash panic room. Since no one knew what could happen, a shelter was mandatory when colonizing another planet. I didn’t think it would help us one bit when a colossal meteor would hit us, but it was the smartest thing to do other than get off the planet.

Nadia opened the door, and we went inside. I closed the door and pressed the button marked ‘seal,' and lots of loud clicks and clunky sounds filled the room as a big wheel on the door turned. The wheel looked like one you’d find on an airlock in an old spaceship, and it was evident we were locked inside.

I looked around and was pleasantly surprised by how the room looked. It was big and had several separate rooms around it. We were standing in the main living area, but there were doors all around it. As we checked them out, we learned that most of them were bedrooms, but there was also a big kitchen and a control room.

“Maybe this room is still operational,” I pointed as Nadia walked up next to me.

“Let’s see.”

Nadia fiddled a bit with the computers, and after about a minute, she pulled up a screen with a countdown timer and looked worriedly at me. It didn’t take a genius to know what I was looking at.

The clock was currently at twenty-five hours, eight minutes, and thirty-two seconds. A little over a day…

“Well… shit!” I mumbled.

“You can say that again... And it has a possible impact percentage of seventy-nine percent.”

“That’s relatively low, isn’t it?”

“Still freaking high if you ask me.”

I sat down and felt utterly defeated. Nadia looked at me, and she looked even worse. We started talking about everything that had happened. Like, why did we even go to this remote planet in the first place? About how it threw everything it had at us in an attempt to kill us. What the odds of an earthquake followed by a destructive meteor were. We figured that the chances of winning the lottery twice in a row were probably higher.

The more we talked about it, the better I felt. I was with the person I loved most, and the fact that we were about to die didn’t even bother me that much anymore. I was with Nadia, and we were together. That was all that mattered.

“We need to find a way to use that antenna to contact the Zephyr. But I just don’t see a way to do it. We can’t possibly point it towards that ship, and It’s way too underpowered,” Nadia said after we were quiet for a couple of minutes.

“Then we need to think outside the box.”

“I've tried to do that ever since we got here, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t find a solution!”

She sounded very frustrated, and I couldn’t blame her. I felt exactly the same, although I realized I had started to give up. But I didn’t want the love of my life to die! And then and there, right at that moment, I found new energy to try and fix the problem. Nadia just couldn’t die! I simply wouldn’t allow that. I wrecked my brain for a couple of moments, and suddenly, an idea popped up. Two actually.

“We’ve still got plenty of time to go out, right?”

Nadia looked puzzled at me, pointed at the screen, and nodded.

“Look. We can’t write a message in the sand outside, right?”

“Yes. We talked about this. The rain will wash it away before we can finish it.”

“So… Morse code!” I said excitedly.

Nadia didn’t catch on, so I continued, “We place rocks outside. It’s not too much work, and we only need twelve rocks. Three short, which are three rocks. Then, three long, which are two rocks each. And then three rocks for the last three shorts. S.O.S.”

Nadia looked expressionless at me for a couple of moments and then mumbled, “That might work, you know? It’s a bit of a long shot, but why not? Are you okay with wearing an exo suit again?”

“I don’t see why not. The last time was an accident, but this is exactly what the suits are made for. So… no. Not a problem!”

“Bisque…”

“And there’s another option,” I said and paused dramatically, but when Nadia rolled her eyes, I said triumphantly, “The water collection drones!”

Nadia shook her head, “I checked them. They can’t carry people, and there’s no life support on board. Not an option.”

“I know! But… hear me out. I saw buckets of paint in the hallway on the way up. We can paint text on one of them and then hope someone will read that when they board the ship to dump the water.”

“Another long shot because it’s a fully automated system, and people hardly ever come back there,” she said, and after a short pause, she continued, “But it’s better than nothing…”

“Let’s go! There’s still some daylight left, so we need to get going.”

I got into the exo suit, and I had to admit that it did feel a bit odd. But as I got to work, this feeling quickly disappeared.

As I was putting the rocks together, Nadia managed to redirect three of the water transport drones to shore. Telling them that they needed repairs was enough. After she had painted the text, ‘Aidan and Nadia still alive – send help!’ On each of them, they went back to their original task of gathering water and flying to the Zephyr.

“Now what?” Nadia asked after we were done.

“Dunno. I guess it’s best to go to the shelter and just wait.”

“Wait for what?”

“Don’t,” I said softly, feeling her fears, “we tried everything. They’ll come for us. And if not, that shelter might save our lives.”

“Tomorrow morning, we can actually see the meteor from here…” Nadia said, looking up.

“I hope to be off this planet by then.”

* * *

We headed back to the base and went into the shelter. After I sealed the door, Nadia grabbed a big toothpaste-like tube for each of us that contained our dinner. We didn’t need to heat it because when you unscrewed the cap, it warmed itself. We flopped down on the couch, where we squirted the gooey substance in our mouths.

“It tastes great!” Nadia said, surprised. I could see her actually lighten up a little.

“It does!”

After we finished our ‘dinner’, we sat on the couch opposite to each other. I was toying with my coms, and Nadia had picked up a magazine from the coffee table. I was so engrossed in my coms that I didn’t notice Nadia scooting over. She laid herself against me and sighed deeply.

“We are going to die, aren’t we?” she whispered.

“What!?” I replied loudly, “No! Of course not! We are goi-“

“Stop it, Ay! Don’t. Just… don’t. We are not going to make it, and you know it.”

“But…” I half-heartedly tried.

But I knew she was right. Deep down, I knew this for a while but was too afraid to admit it to myself. Nadia just had the guts to say it out loud. I saw a tear roll down her cheek, and I felt my eyes water. The inconvenient truth was that we weren’t going to survive this.

“I… I don’t wanna die, but now that it's, you know…, I’m glad I’m with you,” Nadia said between soft sniffs.

I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye, swallowed a lump in my throat away, and nodded.

“I love you…” I whispered as it felt like the only thing to say at that moment.

Nadia moved up and kissed me tenderly on my cheek. After that, she whispered a soft but heartfelt “I love you so much!” in my ear.

I sat there thinking about all the things I still wanted to do but were never going to happen. I would miss out on so many things! I’d never fly my own spaceship, never be a systems engineer, never have children, and I’d die without having… Oh wow! We’d both die as virgins.

Nadia shifted next to me, and I hesitated. Was this the right moment to bring this up? Why was this on top of my mind at this moment? Shouldn’t we only be concerned about saving our lives? I was SO confused.

“Ay?” Nadia asked softly.

“Sup?” I asked and kissed her on her head.

“I… will you, I mean…” she cleared her throat, “will you please have sex with me?”

I was stunned by her question. How did she know I wanted this, too? Why did she have the courage to ask where I didn’t?

“I… I was…” I stammered, “Nevermind! Yes! I would absolutely love to!”

“Really?” Nadia asked excitedly.

“Of course! I love you, and everything we have done so far is amazing! So why die as virgins?”

“You’re so romantic,” she chuckled.

Neither of us moved for a few moments. I felt my dick throb in my pants from anticipation and decided we needed to do this. So, I got to my feet, and as Nadia eyed the tent in my pants, I offered her my hand. She grabbed it, and I pulled her to her feet.

I didn’t know why, but it felt right to lift her from her feet and carry her in my arms. As I did this, she immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her head on my shoulder.

She was heavier than I anticipated, so I was glad it was just a short walk to the bedroom. I lay her gently on the bed and looked at her. The look on her face was a mix of sadness, eagerness, anticipation, and excitement.

Before I could do anything, she sat up and started working on the button and zipper of my pants. It wasn’t rushed or extreme lust that drove her. She was just getting me ready by undressing me. As my pants slid down my hips, I pulled up my shirt.

I was now standing in front of my sister in just my tented black boxers. Nadia didn’t know what to do next, so I reached down and pulled at her shirt. She caught on and lifted her arms to help me. By now, she knew I was terrible at bras, so as I dropped her shirt, she quickly unclasped her bra and dropped it on the floor.

I moved myself down, kissed her tenderly on her lips, and pressed softly against her upper body. Nadia knew what I meant. She lay back down on the bed and looked at me. Her whole body language oozed trust, and she looked magnificent, lying there topless with her nipples hard as erasers.

I kneeled on the bed with one knee and opened her pants. As I pulled at the legs, she shimmied her hips sexily, and her pants came off quickly enough. She smiled coyly at me as I hooked my trembling fingers in the waistband of her white cotton panties.

I stood back up and looked down at my now-naked sister. I was freaking out about what we were going to do, but seeing how she looked at me with a warm but nervous smile, calmed me down considerably.

I unceremoniously dropped my boxers, and my boner wiggled in front of me as I got back on the bed between my sister’s spread legs. I lay my body down on top of hers but made sure my dick was nowhere near her pussy. It was a bit awkward like this, but because this was our first time, I didn’t want to rush things.

My face was inches from hers, and we looked deep into each other’s eyes. Nadia wrapped her arms around my body and pulled me closer. This meant my dick now lay on top of her pussy, but she didn’t seem to mind one bit and even moaned softly when we touched.

I moved my face down and kissed her deeply. Nadia’s hands roamed all over my back, and her soft touch sent shivers down my spine. After kissing like this for a while, we broke it and opened our eyes. This was it! We didn’t need words or anything. We simply knew what to do and what the other one wanted.

I pulled my ass back a bit, and my dick dropped between her legs. I reached between our bodies, grabbed my dick by its base, and pressed my dickhead against my sister’s opening. The tip slid in a tiny bit, and her pussy lips wrapped around it and kept my throbbing member in place.

“I love you, Ay!” Nadia whispered.

I pushed my hips forward and felt myself slide slowly into the most wonderful place ever. The slick, velvety sleeve surrounding my dick was like nothing I could ever imagine.

We kept looking at each other as I entered my sister. Slowly but steadily, more and more of my dick was surrounded by her warm, soft skin. Nadia’s look lost her focus a few times, and her soft, almost whimpering moans urged me on. I had expected some resistance, But after what seemed like forever, I had penetrated my sister completely.

My balls rested against her underside, and my pubes pressed against hers. I even felt them tickle a bit. I lay completely still, unsure what to do next.

“Oh… wow!!” Nadia whispered, “This is…”

A tear formed in the corner of her eye. I was afraid I was hurting her, but a barely noticeable smile on her lips told me this was something different.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, still a bit worried.

“It’s… we are going to die. And here we are, doing something we should’ve done a long time ago! I… I love you so much, Ay!”

“I… I love you too! I wish we had more time together.”

“Me too. Let’s just enjoy the time we have left, okay?” Nadia said and moved her hands on top of my ass to urge me on.

I didn’t need any more encouragement. I knew what I had to do, and my instinct took over. I started pulling back, and a tingle shot through me as I did. Nadia hissed loudly and arched her back.

“Did I hurt you?” I asked and stopped moving altogether.

“No, no! It’s bisque… keep going, please!”

So, I pulled back further. I didn’t want to pull out too far and leave my sister’s pussy, so after a few moments of pulling out, I pushed back in. I heard myself moan as the feeling in and around my dick intensified. Nadia also groaned as I pressed my pubic bone against hers.

I pulled out again, but this time, I pulled out too far. My dick slipped out, and Nadia looked almost pleadingly at me. I managed to get back in with just a slight movement of my hips and pushed in swiftly.

Nadia and I moaned simultaneously as I pressed hard against her again. I pulled out again and pushed back in without issues. Out and in again. And again.

“Ohhh… yesss…” Nadia hissed.

I was so focused on making my sister feel good that I almost didn’t notice the tear rolling down my cheek. It was weird feeling sad, excited, and horny at the same time. I didn’t want to lose my sister. I wanted us to have a life together. But here we were, expressing our love and devotion to each other for the first and last time in our young lives. It was a tear of sadness and happiness at the same time.

My hands were beside her head as my body lay entirely on top of hers. This way, I could feel all of my twin sister's body as we lost our virginities to each other. Nadia’s hands left the top of my ass, and each of them snuggled into mine. Our fingers interlocked, and as I looked into her eyes, I realized I had never felt closer to another person in my life.

But it didn’t take long to just focus on the fantastic feelings on my dick. Nadia already had the telltale signs of her approaching orgasm, and I felt the pressure build between my balls and butthole. I was thrusting in and out of my sister at a steady pace. I had only slipped out once and knew now exactly how far I could pull back. I liked long and steady in and out thrusts, as opposed to the short and rapid ones I tried briefly.

“Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!” Nadia panted.

I knew she was in the endzone now. Our hands left each other, and she wrapped her arms around my upper body. They squeezed me tight, and she wrapped her legs around my lower body, pushing me in even deeper that way.

But I was quickly approaching the point of no return myself. I wanted my sister to have the best first time I could possibly give her, but I started losing control myself. I slammed harder into her with every thrust. And even though my ass didn’t have much room to move anymore, I managed to make them count.

My entire groin tingled intensely, and just when I thought I was going to cum, Nadia groaned, and her body started convulsing. She slammed her eyes shut, and her mouth formed a perfect ‘O’.

Despite my internal promise to give her the best orgasm she ever had, my own urges took over. I kept pistoning in and out at the same pace and tried to stay ahead of the approaching tidal wave my orgasm was going to be.

As Nadia came, the feeling around my dick became almost unbearably amazing. Her moist, soft, and squishy pussy was squeezing and massaging my dick in such a way that I just couldn’t control myself anymore. With one last powerful thrust, I slammed deep into my sister.

My balls pulled up, and every part between my ass and the tip of my dick felt like it was on fire and frozen solid at the same time.

“Aaanngghh!!” I grunted as the first spurt of cum left my dick.

Nadia hugged me even tighter as the cum left my body and coated my sister’s insides. Her mouth was close to my ear this way, and her soft, “ohh yeah… I feel your…aaahh” gave me goosebumps all over.

My dick was still twitching, but no more cum came out. Every time it twitched, Nadia’s pussy gripped it firmly, which caused my dick to twitch again. After this happened a few times, we giggled. As I regained my breath, I moved my dick in and out one last time. I lifted my head as I did this, and we looked intensely at each other. I leaned in, and we kissed tenderly before I reluctantly pulled out and lay down next to my sister.

Immediately, she cuddled up and lay her head on my chest. I was so overwhelmed by my first time that I didn’t know what to say or do. I wasn’t a virgin anymore, but I wasn’t proud or excited about it.

“Thank you,” Nadia said softly.

“No! Thank you!” I replied, feeling weird about being thanked for having sex.

“Can we do this when… you know… ‘IT’ hits us?”

“Good plan! We’ll go out with a bang,” I said seriously.

“Do you think it’ll hurt much? Dying, I mean…”

“Dunno. If you look clinically at it, I don’t think so. When the meteor hits, the air will become so hot it’ll actually turn into a fireball. That’ll vaporize us instantly. And if, by some miracle, we’re out of the fireball zone, the debris flying around will be enough to crush us within a millisecond.”

“You thought it through, didn’t you?”

“Yeah. I did. I don’t want you to suffer. I even considered suicide by swallowing pills or something. But the meteor will kill us way faster, I reckon.”

Nadia sniffed, pressed herself tighter against me, and said in a heartbreaking tone, “I don’t wanna die, Ay!”

Tears flowed down my cheeks as I tried comforting her. But the whole concept of our upcoming death was also too much for me. We both lay there crying our eyes out and trying to find some comfort in each other.

“We’ve still got a little over fourteen hours left to live. I don’t wanna sleep the rest of my life away, but I’m tired. Can we nap for a while?” Nadia asked after the tears dried out.

“Sure thing. Computer! Please wake us in four hours,” I said.

Nadia got comfy beside me, moved her hand down to cup my balls, and whispered, “I love you, Ay.”

After a couple of minutes, her breathing deepened. A few minutes after that, I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

* * *

‘Beep! Beep! Beep!’

The sound of annoying beeps pulled me back to the land of the living. I blinked a few times, and it took me a couple of seconds to realize where I was. Nadia was lying against me, and her hand was still cupping my balls.

I wasn’t woken by the alarm I set. These were different beeps, and I hadn’t heard those before. As I was waking up, Nadia stirred next to me.

“Wh… whsdr!?” she grumbled.

“I think there’s something wrong,” I said after clearing my throat.

Nadia has always been quicker at waking up than I was. She let go of my balls, rubbed her eyes, and got to her feet. She gave me just enough time to scan her ass and boobs before she headed over to the control panel in the other room.

I quickly got up and followed her. On the monitoring screen, it was clear that something was wrong with the Terra site. The site itself didn’t seem offline, but all the telemetry readouts were gone.

“Nadia pressed some buttons, opened up a couple of other windows on the computer, and mumbled a soft, “What the..”

“What’s wrong?”

“Dunno. I can’t explain it. Everything is up and running. There’s just no more telemetric data coming our way.”

“Is it broken?”

“That’s what’s so weird. There’s still a constant data stream, but the computer can’t make any sense of that data.”

Nadia fiddled some more on the computer. I tried to figure out what she was doing, but this was what she was trained for back on Earth. Just like I was prepared for all sorts of outdoor activities. Nadia obviously knew what she was doing, and I pulled up a chair for her to sit on.

“Thanks,” she said as she sat down, never taking her eyes off the screen.

I got us a drink, sat down next to her, and watched her do her magic. I was glad the beeps had stopped, but other than that, I thought it was a waste of time. Why try to save the Terra site when it would be destroyed anyway in a couple of hours? But Nadia was busy, and it took her mind off the big rock that would kill us, so I figured it was good. And I liked watching my naked sister, and I had plenty of opportunities now.

About half an hour later, I figured it was enough. But right when I wanted to open my mouth, Nadia whispered, “That’s it!”

I perked up, sat up straight, and asked, “What?”

“One sec.”

I was annoyed about being kept in the dark, but I knew her too well to say something. She wanted to double-check this.

She turned her chair to look at me, and with a smile on her face, she said, “I think we’ve got a way to communicate with the Zephyr!”

“No way! How?”

“I’ve analyzed the data stream coming in, and it’s the source code for an application. I’m compiling it now to see what it does.”

“But… how?” I asked again, missing the big picture here.

“Okay. I think it’s like this. Bear with me. The Zephyr receives information from the terra site, so they know how the planet is doing before landing or sending specific equipment from Earth.”

“Okay…”

“This is a very, very narrow band and only suitable for sending text in small pieces. But that’s enough since we only need that telemetry data, and not even in real-time. I think someone at the Zephyr reversed the flow and reprogrammed the telemetry system so it can relay its communications to us.”

“Oh wow!” I said, realizing my mouth was open.

“Pretty clever, yeah,” Nadia said and turned to face her monitor as the progress bar on her screen was approaching 100%.

“Now what?” I asked anxiously.

“I’ll see if I can run the program. I don’t have a clue what it is. It might also just be a simple document wishing us good luck.”

“No!”

“I’m kidding,” she chuckled. And after a short pause, she continued, “But it can be. Although I find it hard to believe that they would put this much effort into it.”

“Let’s see,” I said as I toyed nervously with a couple of my pubes.

Nadia’s eyes briefly went to my fiddling fingers, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly upward. It was barely there, but I noticed. I didn’t care at that moment because I just had to know what the application was all about.

“It’s done!” Nadia said and started clicking and typing away.

I saw her moving some files around, edit a couple of text files, and finally, she opened the freshly compiled application.

“It’s a chat app!” she said excitedly.

I looked at the screen where a clunky and rudimentary chat app was showing. The top half of the screen was for the other side, and in the bottom half, we could type our text.

“Type something!” I exclaimed, “Let them know we’re here.”

“What should I type?” Nadia asked and looked very indecisive.

“Anything,” I answered, trying to keep calm.

“You do it,” Nadia said as she moved the keyboard my way.

I immediately started typing. If this was what we thought it was, this was our only and final option.

Hello?

I expected I had to wait a while for a response, but less than two seconds later, a response showed up.

Hello! Aidan and Nadia?

Yes! We’re still on Aetheria.

We know! We saw your Morse code. Your parents are very worried about you. How are you?

We’re okay. We survived the quake and lived inside the remote site for a while, expecting the main base to come and rescue us.

I see. We couldn’t do that. We thought you were dead. We simply didn’t have the time, people, or equipment to go and check.

I know. We saw how the main base is doing.

It took a while for another response. Nadia and I looked at each other, and I shrugged.

“Ask if they know more about the meteor,” she said.

I thought for a moment, nodded, and held my fingers above the keyboard. But before I could type anything, the Zephyr started typing again.

Your father and mother are here and want to say hello.

Hi mom and dad! Surprise!

Nadia giggled next to me and said, “You can’t say that! They were worried sick!”

The undertone in her voice was one of amusement, so I said, “Of course I can! What are they gonna do? Ground me?”

I turned my attention back to the monitor. Two lines were there that almost made me tear up.

They say they love you. And they’re sorry.

Sorry for what?

Sorry for leaving you behind.

Don’t be sorry! You did the only logical thing!! Really! It’s NOT YOUR FAULT!

Nadia placed a hand on my shoulder and gently squeezed it. I knew she felt the same about this. They thought we were dead, had one option to leave the planet, and gave it their all to find us from up there. But most of all, they never gave up.

They thank you for saying that.

And we mean it. How about that meteor? What’s the status? We kind of don’t wanna die, you know?

The meteor is still coming our way. In approximately 10 hours, it’s here.

Shoot!

Yes. But there’s been a development. Due to the gravitational pull of one of the other planets, its path had a tiny correction. It’s still going to be too close to call, but it might miss us.

And now what?

Now that we’ve established contact with you guys, we’re going to make some necessary course corrections to get back into low orbit. Then we can send down a transport to pick you up.

REALLY??

Yes, really. But during this time, we’ll have to go offline again, unfortunately. This radio won’t work in low orbit.

How much time?

It’ll take us roughly four hours to complete the maneuver. Then another thirty minutes for the transport.

We’ll make sure we’re outside near the landing zone.

That would be great because the inside dock is broken. And we don’t have very much time to spare because we need to get out of the way so the meteor or the impact on the planet won’t hit us.

Don’t worry. We’ll be ready.

Perfect! We’re starting the maneuver in five minutes. Anything else?

No! Glad you’re coming for us!

See you in a couple of hours then. Be ready! Zephyr out.

“OH MY GOD!!!” Nadia shouted and slammed her body into mine to give me the tightest hug known to men.

Tears were flowing down my cheeks from excitement and joy. When Nadia looked at me, she was also crying. But these were good tears! Without saying anything, we moved in close, and kissed each other firmly, our wet faces pressed together.

“We’re going to live, Ay!”

“Yeah… we’re being rescued thanks to you!”

“Don’t be silly!” Nadia said sternly, “If you didn’t put those rocks out there-“

“If you weren’t this smart to decypher that data stream, we’d be hopelessly lost,” I interrupted.

“Stop saying that!! WE did it. You and me! We! Together.”

I didn’t want to hear it, but when she said it, I knew she was right. We had both played our parts in this. I decided to drop it and to change the subject.

“So… Do we need to prepare anything? Should we go outside already, just to be sure?”

“Nah. We’ll only need our suits. Maybe grab some clothes and other personal stuff from our room?”

“Good idea,” I said, “I’d say we’ve got about three and a half hours to kill before we head out, right? I reckon we better be outside too early rather than too late, right?”

“Yeah. It is better to wait outside for an hour than miss the ride because of a stupid error like a leaking suit or something. With an hour to spare, we’ve got time to fix it.”

“Bisque!”

Nadia started putting on her clothes. This reversed striptease in front of me never got old, and I stalled with putting on my own clothes just so I could watch this.

As she pulled down her shirt, hiding her little black bra from view, I started putting on my clothes. I made a little show of adjusting my chubbed-up dick inside my boxers as Nadia watched intensely what I was doing. I wasn’t an expert at this. Far from it, actually! But I felt a tension in the air I couldn’t quite place.

“Ready?” I asked as I held my finger above the button that opened the door.

Chapter 13 - Us

Walking through the halls somehow felt different now. They seemed brighter, and the mess inside was less depressing. The cleaning bots were finished in certain parts of the building, and it showed. Those bots didn’t care about their imminent death. They didn’t know and just did what they were designed to do. Because of this, some parts of the base looked just as if the quake never happened.

But the clean halls weren’t the only reason it felt different, of course. The fact that we were leaving was probably the most critical factor. I felt cleaned up inside my head and cheerful about the future, which had been a while. It was a bummer that we had to go back to Earth, but at least we’d live.

Nadia walked next to me, and as we walked, she wrapped her arm around my waist and laid her head on my shoulder. We didn’t talk, but we both knew how the other felt. She did surprise me when her hand moved over and squeezed one of my ass cheeks.

I looked at her as she did this, and her smile was a mix of apologies and cheekiness. I smiled back and shook my head. She always did dumb stuff like this, and thankfully, today wasn’t an exception. In fact, her whole body language showed signs of mischief, and she acted skittishly.

We were now at the door of our room. I swiped my wrist in front of the keypad on the wall, and the door opened with the familiar whooshing sound. Inside, the cleaning bots were obviously done. It was as clean as when we left it the day we went outside with Ethan.

Ethan… it seemed like an eternity ago! I knew I shouldn’t be thinking about him now. I’d have plenty of time for that after we get off this planet. But still… I tried pushing these thoughts away, but it wasn’t easy.

But Nadia came to the rescue. She must have noticed something because she stepped in close and wrapped her arms around my neck. I felt her boobs pressed against my chest as she leaned in and kissed me hungrily.

“Cheer up! We’ll grab our stuff, and we’re out of here before you know it,” she said softly after we broke the kiss.

“I know… thanks!” I said, “I need to take a piss.”

I went into the bathroom, and as I did my business, I tried to focus my thoughts on getting out of here instead of my dead brother. I stuffed my dick back inside my boxers, zipped up, and sighed deeply. I washed my hands, splashed some water on my face, and was ready to move on. I unlocked the door and expected Nadia to stand there to go in after me, but no one was there.

In the corner of my eye, I saw movement on the bed. I turned my head to look at her and almost choked. Nadia was as naked as the day she was born and smiled seductively at me. She had positioned herself in such a way that she didn’t look cheap or thrashy but simply irresistible.

She leaned against the pillows with her upper body, showing off her magnificent breasts perfectly. Her legs were slightly parted, showing a hint of her slit, but the few hairs above it obscured the view just enough to make me want more.

“Wh- what’s this?” I asked, feeling my now stiff dick twitch hard in my boxers.

“We’ve got time to spare. So… get over here,” she hoarsely whispered.

I still don’t know why, but seeing her like this, the way she talked, and how she was taking the lead triggered something inside. I felt the almost unstoppable urge to fuck her. Making love was terrific, but now I wanted to FUCK her. I was both shocked and amazed by this realization. I didn’t know where I had heard that word before, but it was exactly what I wanted. There was no better word to describe my urges.

I looked at my sister as I kicked off my shoes and lifted my shirt. The moment it was off, I focused on her eyes again and started working on my button and zipper. Nadia’s eyes roamed over my chest, and when I opened my pants, her eyes locked onto that.

I shed my pants quickly, and as they crumpled at my feet, I stood there in just my tented boxers, my dick pointing straight forward. Nadia’s eyes were locked on that tent, and a wicked smile was all over her face. I hooked my fingers inside the waistband of my boxers and slowly started sliding them down. I knew I shouldn’t try a striptease because I’d look ridiculous if I did. But I could take it slow and expose myself in a more or less sexy way like this.

My boxers slid down slowly, and the tip of my dick got caught behind the elastic band, moving it down with my boxers. As I went lower, my pubes and the base of my dick were now exposed, causing Nadia to lick her lips seductively. With an obscene slapping sound, my dick sprang free and slapped against my belly. Nadia didn’t flinch and kept staring at it.

I quickly ditched my boxers and crawled toward my twin sister on the bed. My hard dick bobbed as I did this. Nadia slid down the pillows and lay flat on the bed, spreading her legs widely. If I still had any doubts about what she wanted, they were now out of the window.

I lay my body down on top of hers and pressed as much of it as possible against her. As my dick rubbed over her slid, she purred coyly and wrapped her arms around me. One of her hands squeezed my ass, and the other pulled my face toward hers.

We kissed each other hungrily, and our bodies rubbed against each other. Her warm pussy felt terrific on my dick, but I wanted… no! I needed more. I didn’t hesitate and sneaked my hand between our bodies. I grabbed my dick and lined it up. I had rubbed it down there enough to know where I could enter her. And without any effort, my dickhead popped inside my twin sister’s pussy.

Nadia looked determined and extremely horny at me, and I felt an almost animalistic urge to make her mine. I didn’t want to hurt her. I’d never hurt her! But it just felt right to penetrate her a lot rougher than last time. So I pushed forward with more force, and the look of surprise on her face when I entered her changed into one of pure lust and submission. I never saw her like this, but there wasn’t a fiber in my body doubting that she liked what I did.

I entered her quickly and with such force that our pubes smashed together.

“Aaahh!! Yesss! Take me…” Nadia grunted.

This wasn’t lovemaking. This was raw sex, and I loved it! And I loved that our twin telepathy even extended to this and that we both enjoyed what we were doing tremendously. I pulled back and slammed back in. The pace was slow, and I was constantly checking out my sister. I wanted her to cum without hurting her, and my own pleasure came in second place.

My dick and my actions had the power to make her feel the most amazing feelings. And I wanted to use that power the best I could. So I kept slamming into her and made sure each trust counted.

She already had an unfocused look on her face, and her head was tilted back. Every time my pubes slammed against her clit, her moans got louder and the tone of her moans higher.

My right hand was still between our bodies, and I managed to rub my thumb over her clit each time I pulled back. It was a bit awkward, but with my left hand, I grabbed her tit and gently squeezed her nipple. Nadia was too unfocused to keep on kissing, so I started nibbling at her neck, a very sensitive spot that I recently discovered.

“Oh! Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah! AY!!! AAIII!! AAAIII!!”

I increased the speed by which I was slamming into my sister slightly, but the thumb on her clit and hand on her boob was enough. When she breathed this shallowly and started screaming my name, I knew she was coming. This was the perfect moment to let go. I stopped my focus on her and just went for it. Since this was only my second fuck, I was way closer than I wanted to be, and there was no way I was holding back anymore.

“AAAIIII!” Nadia screamed and dug her fingers into my ass and my back.

Her whole body tensed up, and her pussy gripped my dick so firmly I could hardly move. But I HAD to move! The snowball was already rolling down the hill, and I had to stay ahead of it. So, I kept on pistoning in and out, pushing through the clenching pussy of my sister.

After I pulled out the third time, the grip around my dick loosened a little, which was enough to push me over the edge. I slammed in two more times, and when I felt the cum shooting up my shaft, Nadia’s pussy gripped me again, and maybe even firmer than before.

As my incestuous cum coated my sister’s insides, my brain went offline. I only saw her wrinkled-up face as she was still orgasming pretty heavily. Everything around us was gone. My dick throbbed, and Nadia’s pussy was milking me, claiming everything I had to offer.

I couldn’t hold my body up anymore and dropped down on top of her. She’d told me that she liked to feel my weight on her, and that’s exactly what I was doing now, although for a different reason. I felt utterly spent! We both lay there panting. Nadia started caressing the back of my head and whispered, “You are amazing!”

I couldn’t say anything and nodded once to show I heard her. Occasionally, her pussy gripped my dick, which caused it to twitch. The last time this happened, we started giggling, but now, Nadia said, “I’m still sorta… cumming. I’m still really close.”

And after my dick twitched again, she said with a bit of amazement in her voice, “And you’re still hard!”

I lifted my head to look at her and wasn’t sure what to do next. I figured it was over and started pulling out of her so she could cuddle. But the moment she felt me move, she wrapped her legs around my ass. Her pussy twitched quite firmly as she did this, and it felt terrific around my sensitive dick as I slid back inside.

A wicked grin spread across her face, but I didn’t have a clue what she was thinking. Before I could say or do anything, she moved her body, pressed against my shoulder, and turned her lower body with her legs still wrapped around me. I fell to my left, and before I realized what happened, Nadia also turned. It all happened really quickly, and before I knew it, I was lying on my back, and Nadia sat on top of me. My dick somehow managed to stay inside of her, and as she pushed her body down on it, her face looked amazed.

“It’s in even deeper like this!” she said as she sat up straight and ground her pussy against my pubic bone.

The way she was sitting gave me the best view of my sister and the most fantastic feeling around my dick at the same time. I looked at her incredible body rising up from my groin. Her boobs looked terrific, and as my eyes traveled down her tight belly and ended on her pussy where our genitals merged, I knew I was the luckiest boy in the universe.

I instinctively placed my hands on her hips and looked her in the eyes. Nadia placed her hands on my chest and gyrated her hips, which did amazing things on and around my dick. This was a whole new stimulation I never felt before.

“You’re the… and I… Bisque, so…” Nadia whispered incomprehensibly as she moved herself on my dick more deliberately now.

I moved my left hand from her hip to her tit to play with her nipple. They looked so incredibly inviting as they hovered above me that I just had to touch them. The moment I gently squeezed it, Nadia stiffened, and her pussy gripped my dick firmly again. The deep groan coming from her throat, combined with her convulsing pussy, didn’t take a genius to add two and two together.

This time, her orgasm didn’t take over completely. Yes, she was cumming, but she kept grinding against me. After the clenching around by dick ebbed away a little, she started lifting herself. My dick traveled down her love canal, and it was both weird and exciting to not be in control of that.

After I almost slipped out, Nadia moved her body down again. Her face had an odd look that I hadn’t seen before. It was as if she was hypnotized and completely in her own bubble, oblivious to the world around her.

My right hand sneaked over her hip and firmly gripped her ass cheek. Feeling the muscles move under her soft skin as she rose again was tantalizing. And after she moved back down and pressed her clit against me, she grunted deeply again, and her pussy gripped me once more. It was about the same as before. She obviously came, but she didn’t cum hard enough. Every half a minute or so, she did this. Sweat was forming on her forehead and upper lip, but she kept on going.

She didn’t pick up the pace, nor did she slow down. Now I was the one being fucked, and I didn’t mind one bit. I did find it hard to keep my focus, though. So I placed both my hands on my sister’s hips as she kept impaling herself on my throbbing dick. The speed didn’t change, but her moves were more deliberate now.

Just as I was starting to get used to the frequency of her orgasms, she didn’t cum. She dug her fingers into the flesh of my chest and slammed down hard against me with her pussy. It didn’t hurt, far from it, but something had definitely changed.

I didn’t know how long we were fucking like this, but I was glad I already came before. Otherwise, there was no way I would’ve lasted this long. But with the change of force of her actions and the way her pussy kept on gripping my dick, I was a lost cause. The buildup inside my balls had reached a boiling point, something I pushed away to the background. But now, my balls almost screamed that they needed relief.

I couldn’t help myself anymore and slammed hard against my sister’s pelvis as she moved down. But after just two of these, I froze. My ass was still off the bed, and I felt my dick fatten. This orgasm happened so suddenly and was so intense that I practically screamed.

As the first powerful spurt left my dick, Nadia’s weight forced my ass back down. And despite my extremely powerful climax, I felt Nadia’s orgasm hit her. The grip around my dick was almost painful but added such an extra dimension to it all, that I thought I had left my body.

Nadia dropped down on me, and as her pussy kept trying to squeeze my dick off, her body was limp and shook uncontrollably. Her “ooohhh… ooohhh… yesss… aaahhh…” in my ear pushed me through another wave. And although I had no more sperm left to give, I felt like I came again.

Nadia breathed raggedly, and as I felt her weight on top of me, I knew what she meant. We were so connected at that moment! Her contracting pussy and my twitching dick, combined with all the skin contact and sweat, made me feel like we were one.

I was still panting heavily, and so was Nadia. But it concerned me a little that she didn’t move at all. Besides the movement of her pussy, of course. So I stroked her hair and softly whispered her name. This seemed to break the spell, and she started moving. She lifted her head and looked at me as if she was amazed to see me there.

“I was… holy moly!” she whispered and kissed me passionately on my mouth, grabbing my face with both hands.

I felt my dick deflate and slowly slide out of my sister’s slippery love tunnel. It flopped out unceremoniously, and some of my cum dripped out of her and onto my limp dick and pubes. Nadia kept kissing me, and I cupped her firm ass with both hands. This wasn’t a loving kiss but one that expressed our physical attraction to each other. After we broke the kiss, Nadia rolled off me and onto the mattress.

“We are really good at this sex thing, aren’t we?” I asked in the silence that followed.

“Oh boy! You can say that again! I could do this all day!”

“Uhm… what was that thing you did with your, uhm…”

“What do you mean?” she asked as she turned on her side to face me.

“You kept squeezing my… dick when you sat on top of me.”

“Oh that… I think I... I was almost constantly cumming. I didn’t know I could do that!”

“I’m jealous! You seemed to really be enjoying yourself,” I chuckled.

“Your, uhm, cock is amazing! It triggers something inside I can’t explain. Every time you move it in or out, it’s like a short circuit in my brain. Does that sound weird?” she asked as she lay her head on my chest and cupped my balls again.

“Nah… I think I get it.”

Nadia toyed gently with my balls as we were lost in our thoughts. I knew we had to get up sometime, but lying like this was just too lovely.

Nadia cleared her throat and softly said, “I liked this time better than our first…”

“Yeah. Me too. Way less depressing.”

“Guess you’re right. It's too bad this will also be our last time for a while. I don’t think Mom and Dad will understand if we share a suspension pod on the way back.”

I laughed at that. I knew she was right. Our love for each other had to remain a secret between us. Maybe back on Earth, we could find some way to be together as much as possible, but we’d still have to be careful.

“I don't think they’ll understand, no,” I smiled.

“But… I want to be with you, Ay! Why’s that so strange?”

“I want to spend the rest of my life with you and with no one else! We’ll have to find a way to make this work! And I know we will. But first, we need to get off this planet,” I said, feeling tears of frustration well up in my eyes.

Nadia moved over and kissed me tenderly on my lips. We shared a loving kiss for a couple of moments, savoring each other’s love.

“I need to pee,” Nadia giggled after we broke the kiss, “your stuff keeps leaking out.”

“Let’s get dressed and prepare to go outside, okay?”

She gave my balls a gentle squeeze, kissed me on my cheeks, and treated me with a fantastic view of her fine ass as she headed to the bathroom.

* * *

“See you on the other side,” I said as I entered the small change room.

The automatic system didn’t allow us to change together, so we each went into separate booths. We had cleaned and closed the room in the basement, and our bedroom was already being swept by the bots as we left it. We shut down all unneeded equipment, grabbed our bags, and headed out.

Our personal bags were in the garage’s airlock, so we could grab them later. After going through the decontamination and airlock cycle, I was outside first. My eyes immediately went to the sky, and there, right between the two moons, it was…

“That’s… that’s a big one,” Nadia said as she walked up next to me.

“It is! We’d never survive the impact. Not even if the shelter was fifty stories deep.”

“Let’s grab our bags,” Nadia said, and we headed over to the garage.

After we grabbed our bags, we walked over to the landing zone. We were about forty minutes early instead of the sixty we had planned for because Nadia had an issue with her HB-ICS undersuit. It didn’t recognize her at first, so we had to give it a hard reset. But we still had plenty of time to spare as we sat down on some rocks.

After a couple of minutes, Nadia said, “Well… this is boring as hell…”

“Too bad we can’t have sex out here,” I giggled, “That would definitely kill some time.”

A heartbeat later, I felt buzzing near my dick, and I boned up instantly. I glanced over at Nadia, who looked smug at me with her finger still on her wrist pad.

“It’s not the same,” I said and enabled the same thing on Nadia’s suit to get back at her.

“Ohh… No, not at all! Does feel good, though!” she smiled.

The stimulation around my dick was great, but I didn’t want to cum in my pants. So I looked at my sister and said, “Turn it off, please. I don’t want a mess inside my pants.”

The look on her face betrayed she hadn’t realized this. And as she switched it off, I opened the app on my wrist pad.

“Leave it on! I’m… ahhh… not the one making a mess.”

I shrugged and looked at her. That horny look I loved so much was back. The monitor app on my wrist showed she had an elevated heart rate, and her breathing was shallower than it should be. There was nothing to worry about yet, and if there was, this function would automatically disable itself.

“I love how your cock makes me feel filled up,” she said out of the blue.

“I… uhm…”

“It’s so thick! And so hard, it doesn’t… oohhh… bend at all. So when it rubs over that one… hmmm… special place inside, it’s…”

She looked deep into my eyes as she said this. I didn’t know what to say to this, so I smiled weakly at her and said, “Sorry??”

“Uh uh,” she said and shook her head, “Don’t be. It’s like a perfect… ahhh… fit!”

I watched in silence as my sister approached her orgasm. It was hot to watch her squirm and hear her pant over the radio. After a couple of moments, it was clear she was getting close. I’ve seen her cum enough by now to know this for sure. But when her eyes flew open, and the look on her face morphed into one of anger and frustration, I immediately knew what was going on.

“What the hell, Ay! Why did you turn it off?”

“I didn’t! I swear! I was just thinking how hot it is to watch you like this.”

She pressed some buttons on her wrist pad, but all she got was an annoying beep. She pressed the buttons more urgently, but her pad kept on beeping. I couldn’t suppress a giggle as she was fiddling and got more and more frustrated.

“Stop laughing, Dufus! I was almost there! And now it just stopped… Again!” she said with a hint of amusement in her voice.

“I think it’s a function they built in to get the colonists, you know… going… to populate the planet. It doesn’t help to push them over the edge.”

Nadia looked at me, and as the wheels turned inside her head, I could see the realization in her eyes.

“You think so?”

I shrugged and said, “Makes sense…”

“I guess you’re right! Didn’t think of it like that. I thought it was a useless feature, but now that you put it like this, it makes perfect sense.”

“Although I have to admit it’s a bit cruel.”

“Tell me about it! I was so close, and now I can’t do anything about it.”

“We can go back inside…” I chuckled.

“Yeah, right. And miss out on that one opportunity we’ve got to get out of here! No way.”

Even if she wanted to go back inside, I wouldn’t let her. It was a joke, but considering the situation, probably not my best one, so I decided to drop it. We waited in silence for a couple of minutes, with both of us looking at the approaching rock in the sky.

“It’s a pity, you know?” Nadia said after a while.

“What is?”

“That this beautiful place will be evaporated…”

“I thought you didn’t like it here?”

“I didn’t wanna leave Earth. That’s something different.”

“True. But what if-“

We both looked up at the approaching humming sound. There, still a tiny spot in the sky, a transport ship grew bigger with each passing second.

“They’re here!” Nadia exclaimed as she jumped up.

I got to my feet and had to swallow down a lump in my throat. They really came back for us. My head knew they would, but in my heart, I still had doubts. Nadia slammed her body into mine, and we hugged each other tightly. We made sure to step out of the way so the transport would have an unobstructed path to the landing spot. I almost bounced with joy as the ship landed. Behind the windows, Mom and Dad’s excited faces showed, and we waved excitedly at each other.

The moment the door opened and Mom and Dad came running out, Nadia and I sprinted toward them.

“Aidan! Nadia!” Mom shouted as we hugged in one big, family hug.

“We’re so sorry!” Dad started but was cut off immediately by Nadia.

“You’re here! We’re here! That’s what’s important,” she said.

I wouldn’t have any of that either, so I said, “The base is a mess. You did the right thing!”

“But Ethan…” Mom stammered.

“I know,” I said softly, “but there’s nothing any of us could do about it. It was a stupid accident.”

Mom smiled through her tears and gave me another firm hug. Dad was hugging Nadia, and I heard him sniff over the radio.

“Sir?” the pilot said nervously over the radio.

“Right! We need to go, guys. We’ll talk on the Zephyr.”

Nadia and I grabbed our bags and sat down in the transporter. About an hour later, we were greeted enthusiastically by the people aboard the Zephyr.

We were in the big garage that was now almost empty. There wasn’t a room big enough in the simulated gravity portion of the ship, so everyone had gathered in here. The downside of being weightless didn’t measure up to the chance of being together. It did strike me that the group was a lot smaller than back down on Aetheria. As some people came to talk to us and shake our hands, it turned out that everyone was worried sick about us. Since we lost a lot of people during the quake, people looked at our survival as a beacon of hope.

Dad took the microphone and thanked everyone for their help in our rescue. He specifically thanked the guy who came up with the idea of relaying the radio signal through the Terra site. After Dad was done talking, Jovii floated to the central spot and took the mic from him.

“Because of the effort Major Thom had to put in the rescue of his son and daughter, I was given the task of monitoring the asteroid. We decided to call it Moros, and we were able to track its course in more detail. And we’ve got news for you,” he said with a serious look on his face.

A lot of mumbling and excited whispers went through the crowd. I looked at Dad, who simply shrugged.

“Moros will enter Aetheria’s atmosphere, that we know for sure. But it won’t crash on the planet!”

“What!?” I heard myself ask as the crowd erupted with excited chatter.

Nadia looked wide-eyed at me and appeared just as confused as I was. Jovii lifted his hand for us to be quiet.

“Moros will probably ricochet off the atmosphere like a pebble on the water, and its course will change forever. But the fact that it’ll hit the atmosphere isn’t a bad thing. During this time, it’ll add significant heat to the planet, and judging by the composition of Moros, it’ll add a significant portion of oxygen and hydrogen to the planet’s atmosphere. You just don’t want to be down there when it hits.”

“What does that mean?” someone in the back shouted.

“We think it’ll save us at least two years of terraforming, probably three.”

“Oh wow!” Dad said excitedly.

“After our evasive maneuver is done, we’ll show the impact on the large screen here in the central hall.”

Turned out the calculations were correct. The external cameras managed to capture the impact beautifully. Everyone was holding their breath as Moros approached. When Moros entered the atmosphere, the whole planet got an eerie red glow. Nadia was standing next to me and squeezed my hand tightly as this happened. When Moros sort of bounced off the invisible band of air surrounding the planet, and it was clear it wouldn’t crash, the whole crowd cheered in excitement. The color of the atmosphere went back to normal quickly as the rock shot off into deep space.

People were celebrating, and I could see Mom and Dad were happy. They were constantly smiling and very affectionate toward each other. After a couple of moments of watching the celebrations, Nadia pulled me close, hugged me tightly, and gave me a quick peck on my lips.

* * *

After the excitement died down and the celebrations were done, we went to our cabin. We sat at the table and talked about the things that had happened. It turned out that Nadia and I had a walk in the park compared to what had happened at the main base.

Lots of injuries and missing people. Dad had to manage all that while worrying about his missing kids on a foreign planet in the meantime. We cried a lot about Ethan. This was actually the first time both Nadia and I allowed the thoughts about what had happened and of losing him to come to the forefront. And it hit us hard. But after Mom and Dad assured us we’d give him a proper funeral, we were able to give it a place. We agreed that we’d never forget him.

Dad told us that about half the people wanted to return to Earth. We also talked about this extensively, and despite everything that had happened, Nadia and I wanted to stay. Mom wasn’t convinced but said she couldn’t leave us on this planet, so they would also remain here.

It was getting late, and I had to suppress a moan, but Nadia saw me. She winked at me and surprised me when she asked, “Mom? Can Aidan and I sleep in one of the unoccupied cabins?”

“Uhm… I guess…” Mom said questioningly as she looked at Dad.

“We’ve been alone for so long now, and I think it’ll help me sleep when it’s just the two of us…” she said sweetly.

Dad shrugged and said, “I don’t see why not. The one next door where Seymour and Patty used to live is available.”

“You sure you don’t mind?” Nadia asked.

“Of course not, hon,” Mom said warmly.

“Come on, Dufus. Time to hit the sack.”

I followed my sister out of the room and into the next. I was at a loss for words and dumbfounded at how she had managed to do this. She knew how to play Mom and Dad like a fiddle and did it with excellence.

After the door closed behind us, Nadia lifted her shirt and unclasped her bra. She turned around and seductively said, “It’s time for you to fuck me, big brother.”

I wasn’t one to argue with that, and after another fantastic love-making session, we fell asleep in each other’s arms, Nadia’s hand firmly cupping my balls.

We were still alive and were going to make it count. Together.

The end

Epilogue

It turned out that, indeed, half of the population that was left, wanted to return to Earth. There was a new crew underway from Earth. So, it was decided that the people who wanted to leave could return with the Zephyr as soon as the new ship had arrived.

After Moros’s near-miss, we had to wait two weeks before we could head back down. For most people aboard the Zephyr, this was torture. The cramped space, weightlessness in most parts of the ship, and the absence of useful tasks made most people cranky, including Mom and Dad.

But Nadia and I had sex every chance we got, and we were both cheerful and upbeat during those weeks. Dad even complimented us on that numerous times. If he only knew…

After the first explorer crew checked the planet, and we were given the ‘all clear’, our family headed back down. Nadia and I moved into the same room as before, and so did Mom and Dad. Nadia and I kept having sex as much as possible, and at first, we hardly even left our room. But rebuilding the base needed every single pair of hands, so we had to put in our share of elbow grease.

One day, when we were asked to come eat breakfast with them, Mom and Dad looked very seriously at us. I was sure our secret was out and that we were busted. But it was way worse than that. It turned out that Dad had radiation poisoning from all the work he did near the core of the base. During the quake, the protective shell had been ruptured, but this was discovered way too late.

He knew it would kill him. But he said he’d die soon enough anyway, so he wanted to finish repairing the shell to make sure the rest of the crew could stay there without the fear of radiation seeping through. I was sad for a while, knowing I’d lose my father. But I was also very proud of him for giving his life to save us.

Mom did start noticing that something was happening between Nadia and me. You could say a lot about Mom, but she always noticed things like this.

One day, as I was lying naked on our bed, waiting for Nadia to join me, she came in crying. Mom had asked her flat out if we were doing things together. She’d been unable to deny it, and now Mom knew and our secret was out in the open.

The following day was difficult. We had to face her and try to be cool. But she didn’t say or do anything about it. I was amazed at that, and she managed to hide it perfectly. I blamed it on Dad being around. Turned out I was right. One day, when Dad had to spend a day inside a med pod to regain some of his strength, Mom looked all serious at us when we sat down for dinner. She said she had known for a while now and that she had to get used to the idea of us being together.

But she also said she understood. We’d been together in extremely high-pressure situations where we could only rely on each other, there were virtually no other kids our age around, and we got along amazingly well for a pair of siblings. She explained that it wasn’t the situation she pictured us in when we were younger. And she didn’t necessarily condone it. But she wasn’t against it either, and she’d let us be. But she advised us to keep it away from our father.

After Mom figured Nadia and me out, Dad’s health deteriorated quickly. A couple of weeks before our fifteenth birthday, he passed away. His body was buried in a lovely spot beside the lake. The funeral service was impressive, and almost everyone attended.

About a year after Dad died, the base was finished. This base would remain the central hub for all on-planet activities, and it was the main port for ships to arrive and leave. But this was also the time that the atmosphere got breathable for more extended periods. It would take roughly another year before we could ditch the oxygen masks altogether.

Nadia and I regularly visited the Terra site for old time’s sake. Mom understood why we wanted this, and she let us be on our own more and more. By the time the plans for the first two off-base settlements were discussed, Nadia and I wanted in. We were both seventeen now and wanted a place to call our own. This was the main reason for us to move to Aetheria, after all.

The plans were still in an early stage, but there were already a couple of volunteers to start this village with us. Among them were another brother and sister who were in their mid-twenties and two brothers who had just turned twenty years old. All four were also romantically involved with their sibling. The brother and sister recently came to this planet and obviously didn’t give a damn what people thought about them. They were clearly a couple, and they weren’t secretive about this at all.

Some people gave them a hard time at first, but it quickly became apparent that this wasn’t an issue to them nor to the majority of the on-planet crew. We were envious of them and wished we dared to get out of our closet. But after the pair of brothers also made it clear they were a couple, Nadia and I had a good, long talk with each other and with Mom.

We finally decided to stop hiding the fact that we loved each other once we moved to the first settlement. Word would quickly spread from there, and we were out in the open after that. It was a little rough at first, but after a couple of weeks, I didn’t feel like I was being watched or talked about behind my back anymore.

After this short period ended, and Nadia and I walked hand in hand through the base, I wished we had came out way earlier. Mom had gotten used to the idea and was thrilled we were working on a place of our own on a hill near one of the lakes. This place was enormous, with lots of natural light and more than enough room for the two of us.

Two days after Nadia had turned eighteen, Mom took her to the medical bay. I didn’t know why, but after Nadia returned, a huge grin was plastered across her face. Turned out that Mom had arranged her pregnancy shot. Every girl got a shot right after she was born to prevent her from getting pregnant. This was a perfect way to keep the population under control on Earth. And all it took to be able to get pregnant was another shot to reverse the effect.

We did everything we could to get Nadia pregnant, and after three months, we announced the good news to our mother. She was absolutely thrilled that she was going to be a grandmother. Nadia’s pregnancy was uneventful, and she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. We called him Ethan, which brought tears to Mom’s face.

After Ethan, we were blessed with a healthy twin boy and girl. The irony of it all wasn’t lost on us, and the day Mom had little Thom and Senii in her arms, she cried her eyes out from pure happiness.

Life on Aetheria was good for us. We had lots of friendly people around us in our little village, a pair of close friends, and everything we needed in the main base. Our three children had a worry-free childhood and didn’t know any better than to live on a planet far away from Earth.

Nadia started working at the local school, and I ended up as the chief of maintenance on the main base and the Terra sites.

Turned out that our brother Ethan’s friend Rory ended up as the first person on top of Zuckerberg Mountain. As he placed the flag, he dedicated it to our brother. It was an extremely nice gesture, and Mom and I thanked him extensively during a dinner Nadia had cooked especially for him.

After I went to bed that night, a blanket of extreme happiness draped over me. I had the love of my life at my side as my beautiful wife, three amazing kids, and the best view in the universe from my living room. What more could anyone want?

Author’s note:

I wanted to write a sci-fi story set in space for a long time. I know I didn’t do anything new or refreshing here. This time, I chose just one storyline, not too much of a flashback structure, and written in my favorite form: the past tense. But I like how it turned out! The only thing that could improve, as I look back at it, is the amount of ‘action’ in this one. But I really wanted to tell a story here and focus more on the characters than the stuff surrounding them. This automatically means more focus on setting the mood in a scene. I still like how they developed their relationship.

In previous stories, I tried to steer clear from the more or less default steps. But if I’m honest, these steps aren’t that uncommon to follow when you’re discovering your sexuality with another person. So, I dropped that idea and just did what felt natural to me as the kids grew closer and closer to each other.

I think I might need to explain the FliN and the word ‘Bisque.’ Alex Hawk, my big example, wrote a two-part story called ‘In the FliN.’ It’s set in the (near) future, written WAY before anyone even heard about Facebook, let alone the Metaverse. But it’s a nice enough story, and I decided to pay tribute to that. So the FliN is more or less the internet as we know it. And the word ‘Bisque’ is used in that story, so I decided to borrow that. Also, a few of the names used in this story originate in Alex’s story.

I also need to send a massive shoutout to Sindy Anna Jones (google him! It’s worth it!). He came up with a couple of ideas that I blatantly borrowed. Especially the Camo fabric. I found it hilarious in his comics and wanted to use it in this story. Thanks, Sindy!!

Some might think this story looks a lot like Avatar. But honestly, I got most of my inspiration from ‘The Martian’ and ‘Project Hail Mary’ both written by Andy Weir. But I’m also a gigantic fan of the Alien franchise (Alien part 4 should’ve never been made, damnit!!), and there’s probably also a hint of that in this story.

I also have a confession to make. I hesitated toward the end to let the asteroid crash on the planet. And when the crash happened, Aidan and Nadia were ‘having the time of their lives’ if you know what I mean... Dying during the thing people love to do most is probably high on everybody’s ‘best ways to die’ list. But then I remembered a valuable lesson someone once told me. Always respect your characters AND your readers. And although it would be a perfect way to die, I decided they should live. It was the ending I pictured from the start, but when I came across this point in the story, I hesitated. Thought I’d give you that insight.

Another inside came from E-o-F (yes, him again! Thanks, Ed…). He came up with the idea that Nadia and Aidan should have sex at a depressing moment and then again in a very upbeat and joyful moment. I think it worked out beautifully, if I say so myself.

And, as always, I am not a fan of an Epilogue. But I know people won’t stop bugging me about it, so I wrote one. And to be honest, this story needed one. But the way they end up is just one of the possible outcomes. Feel free to make up your own!

So… Thanks for sticking up with me during this story. I wrote it more for myself than for anyone else, but I still hope you enjoyed yourself. Let me know what you think about it. I’m curious, as always.

Jason out.
