it again. Softly kissing me, just enough so that our lips delicately touched. Then he pulled away, leaving me wanting more.
This is insane.
But I couldn’t stop. I reached my hand to his face, feeling his stubble underneath my fingertips. Then I pulled him close, pressing my lips firmly against his. I moaned softly as we kissed and then I instantly pulled away. The logical side of my mind suddenly kicked in.
“Oh, God,” I said, shaking my head. “Oh, no.”
Danny smirked softly. “It’s okay. It’s fine.”
It wasn’t fine! Sure, it felt amazing. But nothing was fine. I had just kissed my own stepbrother.
“Danny,” I responded. “That didn’t just happen, right? Please tell me that didn’t just happen.”
Danny brought his hand to my knee and then sat up on the couch. Then he turned to face me. “Nikki, it’s okay. It felt right. There’s no harm in it. If something feels right, then it usually is.”
“No, no way, that’s just not right,” I said. “I mean it did feel right. But we can’t. That’s just...no way. It’s not a good idea.”
My feelings about the situation continued going back and forth. The kiss felt amazing, but it was so wrong. Sure, Danny wasn’t my real brother, as far as blood relation anyway. But he was my brother in every other sense of the word. We had watched each other grow up under the same roof. We had been to the same schools, the same church and had Thanksgiving dinners at the same table. We were family. But as much as I told myself all of these things, I still felt compelled to kiss him again.
“Danny,” I whispered. “No. This is bad.”
He nodded slowly. “It is bad...in a way. But who cares?. We’re not kids any more, Nikki. We’re grown adults who can make our own decisions.”
“You don’t think it’s weird?” I asked.
“I just don’t know what to think,” he responded. “All I know is that the kiss we just shared felt really natural. Neither of us tried to force that. It just happened and it felt right. I won’t deny that it’s a little strange, because I do see you as my sister. But the truth is that you and I aren’t actually related. So what’s really wrong with it?”
Dammit, Danny. Stop talking. You’re always so good at turning situations around to put them in a better light.
“Give me that other shot,” I commanded. “Let’s just forget about all of this for now. We can talk about it later.”
Danny did as I asked and handed me the shot of tequila. We clinked our glasses together, but skipped the cheers. I tipped the glass back, letting the liquid slid down my throat. My buzz began to increase almost immediately. I was still in total shock about what had happened.
“Come on,” I said. “Let’s go out to that bar you were talking about. I want to have some fun.”
Danny smiled and then stood up from the couch. He seemed completely at ease about the whole kissing thing. It was like it didn’t bother him in the least.
“Okay,” he responded, as he grabbed my hand and helped me up from the couch. “Let’s go.”

B efore leaving the cottage, I had slipped on my short black dress. It would be my first night going out while in Costa Rica and I wanted to look nice. We decided to walk to the bar, which was a good thing. The few shots of tequila that we had taken were starting to kick in and driving was definitely not an option. Danny said that the walk was short anyway. We just needed to take the same trail to the beach that we had earlier, and then follow the shoreline a little ways. The bar sat right on the beach.
“Should we talk about what just happened?” Danny said, as we peaked the hill behind our cottage.
I wasn’t sure how to respond to that. I could have spilled my guts right there and told him everything. I could have told him that the kiss we had shared was just the tip of the iceberg of what I really wanted from him. But I decided not to mention that.
