The wooden framed house was dark, quiet. It sat on the corner of the block in a San Francisco suburb, just one of thousands of similar family houses.

Reilly sat on the couch, her legs tucked up underneath her, homework scattered around her, half studying, half watching TV.

A figure flitted silently across the darkness of the back yard, pressed up against the side of the house.

Reilly paused in the middle of a sentence then muted the TV and listened intently. Nothing.

She turned the volume back on and resumed her studies.

The figure slid along the wall and tiptoed onto the porch, moving soundlessly to the back door. A hand reached out and gently tried the door handle – it turned and the door swung silently outwards. The figure slipped quietly into the kitchen, passing through a band of light from upstairs.

Reilly was engrossed in her books, oblivious to the intruder. He peered round the door into the living room, spied her sitting on the couch.

Closer and closer he crept, tiptoeing up behind her.

‘You’re going to have to be a lot quieter than that,’ she said, suddenly turning around.

‘Damn, your hearing is awesome!’ The teenage boy vaulted the couch and landed beside Reilly, scattering her books.

‘Tommy, mind my homework,’ she admonished.

‘Homework, schomework!’ Then he grinned. ‘I’ve got a different kind of homework for you …’

They wrapped their arms around each other, lips locked together, oblivious to the passing of time. Finally, they came up for air.

‘When’s your dad back?’

Reilly shrugged. ‘Who knows? Probably when people stop buying him drinks or when they throw him out.’

‘Great,’ said Tommy, going straight back in for more.

Their mouths locked again and he began peeling off Reilly’s sweater. She responded passionately and soon they were both half-naked, hands exploring frantically.

A sudden noise made Reilly break away. She sat up, listening hard, her gaze moving anxiously around.

‘What is it?’ Tommy was not in the mood to stop.

‘I thought I heard something – Jess sleeps very lightly.’

‘Who’s Jess?’

‘My little sister.’

Tommy nibbled at Reilly’s neck. ‘So? Who cares?’

She shivered as he kissed her. ‘But she might see us …’

‘So what? She might learn something.’ He reached for Reilly’s jeans and started to unbutton them.

She tried to stop him. ‘We shouldn’t – not here – not now.’

Tommy persisted. ‘Come on, baby. `You know I love you.’ He laughed. ‘We’re seventeen – this is what we’re supposed to do.’

Reilly still looked uncertain but Tommy, knowing her weak spot, resumed the offensive on her neck. ‘I love you,’ he crooned, slowly sliding her jeans down over her hips.

She couldn’t resist any longer. ‘I love you too,’ she whispered, lying back and letting Tommy finish undressing her.

‘What are you doing?’ a voice called out quietly from nearby.

Tommy looked up, startled. ‘What the—’

Reilly looked round and saw Jess staring at them, her fluffy blond hair pulled up in a ponytail, a peculiar look on her face.

‘Jess, it’s OK,’ she said, reassuringly.

‘What’s he doing, Reilly? Is he hurting you?’

Tommy was smiling now, regarding Jess with interest. ‘Well, well … what do we have here? You never told me you had such a cutie for a sister, Reilly.
