Allegra Martelli assessed her flawless reflection critically. She had tied her hair up for school but pulled a few more glossy tendrils loose to frame her face. She applied eyeliner and mascara before blending in some dark shadow to create a smokey look. The rest of her face she kept in nude colours but fifteen year old Allegra was new to attempting this kind of sophistication and had yet to learn that less could in fact be more. Beside her, her best friend and cousin Claudia slicked gloss onto her lips and pouted at her reflection. Allegra's cellphone beeped importantly and she snatched it up, tapping furiously at the touchscreen for a few moments before sending a text.
"Yes!" Allegra danced around excitedly, gyrating at her reflection.
"Please tell me that boy is not texting you from the can."
"It's my brother. He said he's not going to be home to eat tonight. And Nathan's walking me home so..." Allegra descended into giggles.
"You better get that boy some life insurance." Claudia snapped. "I still can't believe he's even dating you."
The Martelli family was notorious. Allegra was aware of this but oddly detached from it too. All the extended family members she knew treated her like a princess and she could eat in half the city's Italian restaurants for free. She just couldn't reconcile their chivalry and Catholicism with the kind of rackets they were reportedly mixed up in. Her brother told her flatly to ignore the news and the gossip so she knew that very little of it was true. Boys had been very reluctant to date her however, despite the fact she was blossoming into a beauty. Allegra and Claudia's social status within the school was akin to their relatives' status outside it. Nobody associated with them beyond basic courtesy but nobody attempted to bully them either. They were untouchable - quite literally if their burgeoning love-lives were anything to go by.
"He's different." Allegra insisted "I really like Nathan... I think he could be 'the one.'"
"And you can tell your brother that." Claudia reassured her. "When you're married and living in Mexico."
Allegra snorted derisively. "If he had his way I'd die of old age in a convent. I'll tell him about Nathan when the time is right but for now I just want to be able to hang out with him."
"And when will the right time be?" Claudia raised an eyebrow.
"Oh next month I reckon... once I'm pregnant."
The two girls collapsed into fits of giggles.
Though she joked about it, Allegra's relationship with her brother was difficult now. She wanted to be treated like the young adult that she was and he just saw her desire for independence as mutiny. Tears and tantrums made no impression on him, he was wholly intractable. Unable to get him to compromise, Allegra was simply becoming underhanded. Whereas she might have been more moderate if she had more freedom, now Allegra just rebelled at every opportunity. 'Studying with friends' and 'sleep-overs' were code words now for drinking, partying and making out with her boyfriend. So far she had been successful in her duplicity but her luck was destined to run out somewhere along the line, so she made the most of every opportunity.

Allegra revelled in the heady freedom of being able to kiss Nathan on her doorstep, without panicking about her hawk-eyed half brother. Since her bitch of a mother left her and their father passed years ago he had become her guardian and he took this role a great deal too seriously in Allegra's opinion. His women never lasted long and as far as she was concerned he had appalling taste. Nathan on the other hand was intelligent, attentive, handsome... and trying to get his hand down the back of her sprayed on jeans. Allegra disengaged from the kiss, moaning softly.
"So..." she hesitated, flushing. "My brother's not going to be back till later, so if you wanna hang out... you could come up."
Nathan eagerly accepted the invitation, though he was slightly concerned that Allegra didn't know when to expect her brother home. Allegra took him up to their apartment and boldly poured them both a bourbon. Her brother would notice beer cans missing but she could always dilute his Jack Daniels slightly... she had done it before. Allegra mixed the drinks with coke and curled up beside Nathan on the couch.
Nathan was sixteen and from a white middle class background with very liberal views. He believed strongly that Allegra shouldn't have to live as a social leper because of what certain members of her family might choose to do. Nathan had strong view on everything from religion through politics and occasionally toyed with the idea of becoming some kind of activist. Allegra could see that he was never going to actually do anything of the kind but she liked that he was gave a shit about the world at large.
Allegra flipped on the radio and they made out for a while. Nathan was thankfully thwarted by her tight denims but her budding breasts were confined only by a white cotton bra and a loose-knit sweater. His free hand soon found its way up underneath her loose top and toyed with her nipples gently. Allegra had never let a boy do that before and the squirmy feelings it caused in her tummy were darkly thrilling. She moaned quietly into his mouth and Nathan pulled her onto his lap. Allegra could feel that he was hard beneath her but Nathan's other arm was pressing her gently but insistently down against him. The pressure of him against her crotch got Allegra more excited and Nathan rolled his hips slowly to generate friction between them.
Like all her friends, Allegra had attended sex ed at school and read women's magazines that talked about masturbation. She had tried it a few times but once her arousal had got intense she always felt like she needed to pee and so she stopped, worried that she would wet the bed or something. She felt simply ridiculous lying there touching herself and so far it had been an exercise in frustration. Also, her brother still viewed her as a little kid and often walked in as soon as he had tapped on her bedroom door. So she had stopped masturbating altogether, figuring that when she and a boy eventually got that far she'd find out how everything worked.
Nathan paused and regarded her, then took the hem of Allegra's sweater in both hands and lifted it slowly. She shook her head apologetically and pulled away, standing up and moving away from him in order to try regaining some composure. Allegra snatched up her glass and drained it, feeling the diluted liquor burn gently down her throat.
She poured them another drink and they chatted for a short while but it wasn't long before they were kissing passionately once more. Two more drinks later - having not eaten since lunchtime - Allegra was more pliant and Nathan got her full length on the couch, her legs opened beneath his so he could grind gently against her. This time he didn't try to remove her top, he simply ducked underneath it and nudged her nipples free of her bra. Allegra was about to tell him to stop when Nathan finally pulled a nipple into his mouth. The sensation was so electric that she never got the words out. When he had her good and fired up Nathanpulled his head out from under her sweater and kissed her. Allegra's head tipped back and she clung to him, pressing her clothed crotch up against his erection and lashing her tongue against his. Nathan moaned and shoved up her sweater to bare her tiny titties and the golden skin that she got from being half Italian. Allegra moaned throatily as her wet nipples were bared and hardened instantly, her back arching.
