For three-hundred years the Fathers have controlled the Dome and everyone inside it. They have kept the people safe from the radiated Wastes outside and, in order to keep the peace, the Fathers enacted many nano-technologically enforced rules. Not everyone agrees with all of the rules, or the Father's hypocrisy around them, and when Relk falls in love with the much younger Ellenne, they discover there's nothing they won't do to be together and escape the Father's cruel control, even if it means going… Beyond the Dome.
~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~
Ellenne still lived at home with their parents, as the Age of Ascent was twenty-one and she had not yet come of age to inherit her own things. As wealthy as they were, she didn't need to work, either. Her focus was schooling and fine arts alone. Fortunately the family home was very large and Ellenne's room was spacious and soundproof, and Relk's presence there was never out of place.
Relk arrived for dinner, dined with his parents and copious brothers and sisters and gave Ellenne shy smiles across the table which sent the young girl blushing profusely. They retired early, and Relk waited until midnight before he quietly snuck across the mansion and let himself into his little sister's room. He deftly locked the door behind him, as he had a dozen times before and went to her bed.
“Rel,” she breathed as soon as he was near. She had waited up, and reached now to cup his face.
“Elly.” He caught her hand against his cheek and then kissed her palm.
“I've missed you so.”
“And I you. You've no idea how much.” He kissed her wrist next, worshiping, inhaling her sweet, intoxicating scent.
“Lie with me,” she begged, and lifted her sheets to reveal her young, nearly nude body waiting beneath. She wore only thin, silk panties. “Press into me until I convulse, brother. Please.”
