After one more look between them that was somehow equally desire-filled and terrified, Star finally moved to part her knees as she still sat there in front of Sky at the edge of the pool. Taking her silent cue, Sky stepped forward, still standing there in the water, but now with each of her legs on either side of his tiny waist as she looked down at him, both of them not even sure they were breathing just then.

Not able to stop staring at one another’s eyes, despite the now minuscule distance between their bodies, Sky reached for the hem of her long t-shirt. He slowly, gently, began moving his fingers up her sides underneath the material. Another moment and his hands reached the underside of her breasts.

The two still were having more than a little trouble breathing through the feel of the gentle touching that was now happening between them; but as if to give each other courage, they continued locking their eyes on one another the entire time.

Seeing that desire reflected in each other’s eyes, Sky gained the strength to move his fingertips upward, ever so slowly caressing her nipples into hardening at his touch; getting even more aroused himself at the slight gasp that passed her full, pretty lips at his touch.

Those flames of forbidden desire fanned, Star reached toward him, sliding her hands down his stomach, beneath the water’s surface, and bravely began caressing his already full erection through the wet material of his underwear.

Then, there in the rising heat of the summer morning sun, just as Sky felt that very first tremor of his quickly approaching orgasm; both their eyes suddenly snapped up. The moment that pleasure began to overtake him at her touch, huge flakes of snow began falling all around them. The two just stared up at the bright, sunny sky above, their faces now reflecting several kinds of awe and disbelief as the first few flakes melted upon contact with their heated flesh.

Most shocking of all was that when they finally dared to move their eyes from the sunny, clear sky above them, they noted that the only place any of those huge beautiful flakes were falling, was only right above the two of them.

“What were you saying about us not having magic powers?” Star finally managed to ask him in a breathy whisper, both of them still stunned into shock by everything that was happening.

Struggling to find his own voice then, Sky finally managed, “this...this can’t be....us” he denied as he continued to look up at the flakes falling all around them.

In too much shock right then to even attempt to continue their earlier activities, Sky finally stepped back, though awkwardly, to pull himself up to a seat next to her at the edge of the pool. Though, as soon as the two broke off contact once more, the snowflakes slowed their fall and then, almost just as quickly as they had appeared, they just... ceased to be.

“Ok, Scully, so if that wasn’t us, then what the hell was it?” Star asked him as she turned her eyes back to him, her voice still breathless with desire and amazement both now.

“Maybe we accidentally got dosed with something?” Sky shrugged.

“I’m sure” Star scoffed, though smiled. The two then continued to sit there for a long moment, watching as the last few fallen snowflakes melted against the sun-heated concrete around them. Then, Star finally took another breath and spoke, “do you realize, the only time any of this freaky shit happens is when...”

“When we touch; especially touch... like that” Sky admitted to what both of them were thinking.

Star shook her head once more, thinking on the theory. She then just had to add, “you know the most powerful magic on the planet is... it’s sex magic.”

“That somehow sounds more like a cheesy pop song than a school of magic” Sky couldn’t help the smirk, though his eyes showed that he was thinking on her words.

“You know I’m right. We both read all the occult stuff. The most powerful rituals in any belief system, they’re the ones that involve sex.”

“Well, that or human sacrifice” Sky attempted to further joke, though his tone showed that he knew she was right.

“Imagine what might have happened if we actually did break...”

“Trying not to think about that, for many reasons” Sky couldn’t help interrupting for the simple sake of pushing away both his curiosity as well as his desire to still give in and actually break that one rule of theirs every time he was near her.

Morning had since turned to afternoon as the two teens had moved indoors. Neither of them particularly enjoyed sunny days for too long, as being as pale as a corpse did quickly lead to sunburn after too long outside, for each of them.

Sky and Star were now reclining at opposite ends of the living room sofa as a series of occult TV shows and movies played across the large screen TV. Not that either of them were paying much attention. Instead they were sitting there, smiling from where they each leaned on a separate arm of the couch, their outstretched legs intertwining with one another across the plush cushions.

As neither had spoken for a few minutes, each having been distracted temporarily by their phones, Star set hers aside, letting her eyes move over his barely covered body again. Both were still dressed for bed, even though the hour was nearing four pm at this point. As he still seemed distracted by his phone, she couldn’t help a bit of mischief as she slowly moved her toes to the front of his snug black boxer-briefs.

“Can I help you?” he choked a bit on the words, still not looking up from his phone, though his lips still smiled at her toes beginning to continue where her fingers had left off that morning.

“I think it’s more me helping you right now” Star teased as she continued to move her toes against him, smiling wider as she felt his nearly immediate arousal.

“Well that’s not very fair” he chuckled, also dropping the phone to the cushion next to him as he lifted his dark eyes to meet her own once more. He then moved to mimic her chosen distraction, and go one better as he slid his own toes inside her already dampening panties.

Hearing her gasp and feeling that immediate wetness greeting him behind the thin black lace, his own body couldn’t help already feeling that very first pre-orgasmic tremor just at the prospect that she was already that completely aroused by him as well.

Having easily lost track of time, the two startled more than a bit at the sound of car doors slamming in the garage that connected to the living room. Blushing brightly, Star quickly pulled her long t-shirt back down over the now soaked as well as completely displaced panties. Sky also pulled a nearby lap pillow in front of his own glaringly apparent arousal, as they both quickly pulled their outstretched limbs from one another’s most intimate parts.

“What the hell are you two doing in here?” was Brie’s greeting as she came through the door, both teens looking a bit mortified, despite having broken off their latest bout of foreplay in time to avoid their mother’s eyes seeing it.

“Watching TV?” Star asked warily, trying to will her bright blush away.

“Yeah right” Brie returned, “one of you was in here playing around with the garage door. It was going up and down like crazy when we pulled in” she accused, causing them both to look at each other with first a questioning look, then grins that led to snickers as another theory to explain the garage door then simultaneously occurred to them. Brie just shook her head, “I mean, really. What are you, five?” she asked with further annoyance as she headed into the kitchen for her afternoon glass of wine.

The two just gave each other another knowing smirk before their father then came inside as well, “Fucking with the garage door like two year olds and still sitting here dressed for bed, at four fucking pm? I mean, grow up already” he added his own two cents as he went to join Brie in the kitchen.

“Yeah, we really should find something ‘grown up’ to do” Sky whispered through another grin over at Star, who couldn’t help her slight giggle in return.

Now that their parents were home once more, the two of them were quick to head back upstairs and away from any more scrutiny from the adults, especially now. Once they did reach their rooms, each of them slid down to the floor to take a seat in their respective bedroom doorways. Without saying much else to one another right then, the two moved to check their phones again, an obvious ploy at distracting their racing hormones; especially since both of them had only gotten to the very precipice of pleasure, before actually reaching the plateau, considering the interruptions of parents or freakish weather conditions that day.

Star eventually set aside her phone once more, and sighed up at the ceiling above in frustration.

“Sorry, I thought it wouldn’t be apropos to finish....that, with them in the room” Sky teased.

“Ha ha” she returned sarcastically. Though soon sighed again, before finding any more words, “we’re still gonna stick to our one rule, right?”

“Sure as hell gonna try” he agreed, though with his own ragged breath.

“So, I’ll just never know” she said sadly.

Her words did draw his attention from his phone as he looked over at where she still glared at the ceiling. “Care to elaborate?” he asked.

“I’ll never know what it’s like” she admitted softly.

“Um, what what’s like?” he had to ask.

“You know what” she scolded him, though gently.

“Last I checked I wasn’t the only guy in the world capable of, uh, giving you that answer” he stated with narrowed brow, both of them having to be very careful about what they said, just in case their parents suddenly decided to care enough to try to overhear any of their conversations.

“Please, what other guy could even...” she shook her head, “the other stuff, like with Lucien, I’m fine with that; but to let someone I don’t love, actually be the first to do...that with me....I just don’t think I could” she admitted sadly.

Sky swallowed hard as he tried to get past the fact that she was not only telling him she loved him, in that way, but also that he was the only person she could ever imagine giving her virginity to as well. He tried in vain to find some words that could possibly comfort her, but just breathing was a struggle after her confession.

“We really need to find out the actual truth about who we are, badly” he stated, nearly choking back all those emotions as he quickly moved into his room once more, closing the door behind him as he did.

That night around the table, Sky and Star looked just as sullen as ever, Though at least they were once again fully dressed, so that was one less stressor for an evening with their parents. The two adults sighed as they watched their wards once again spend more time stirring their food around their plates rather than eating it.

“Come on, Connor, we talked about this” Brie prodded him into whatever discussion she wanted to start, much to the dismay of the teens who just wanted to retreat upstairs again as soon as they possibly could.

Connor sighed tiresomely, as though trying to talk himself into speaking to them at all, “your mother and I have decided that a different approach to our parenting techniques is needed” Sky couldn’t help a wry laugh, as Star just rolled her eyes at that understatement of the decade.

“Go on, Connor” Brie attempted to keep the conversation going.

“Maybe you should handle this” he snapped.

“Connor” she scolded him.

He just shook his head, taking another deep breath as he moved his eyes first over Star, then Sky, trying to bite back his usual response to dealing with the two of them. “So, Sky, I realize it’s been like a month; but, if that really happened to you, then we should deal with it” Connor stated, looking like he was so uncomfortable then that he just might implode.

Sky scoffed, “do I even wanna know what you’re talking about?” he asked his father, as Star averted her eyes and bit her lip slightly.

His discomfort only increasing, Connor sat up more stiffly in his chair, eyes still down, “if that boy...” another shake of his head, “if that boy really tried to rape you, we should probably, address that.”

“What the fuck, Star?” was his immediate response as he glared over at her and stood.

“Sky, I...” she attempted, but could only look down, knowing her words wouldn’t sway his anger at her.

“Language” Brie attempted a slight scolding of her son, but it lacked much weight.

“So much for only being able to trust each other, right?” Sky bit out the words at Star, to which she could only flinch and look downward. On that note, he slammed the chair back into its place beneath the table and once again rushed from the room.
