A lift and carry story

This is my first "lift and carry" story. It was originally a story I did for
someone on commission. I changed a few things around, and now I'm sharing it
with a mass audience.

I'd love to know what Diana's readers think of this story. Should I do more
stories in this vein?

    Cain Jenkins never paid too much attention to his younger sister
Eden. Even though they were only a year apart in age, they had never been
very close. Furthermore, he'd always considered his sister's choice in
friends to be rather poor. In the past, it seemed to Cain that Eden chose her
friends from among the stupidest, most annoying girls she could find.

    In the last few years however, Cain had to admit that Eden's choice in
friends had improved. It seemed to Cain that this change corresponded with
Eden's decision to join the girl's field hockey team at school. Once she made
a commitment to the team, her caliber of friends also seemed to improve.

    The high school that Cain graduated from and Eden still attended was
known for having excellent teams in every sport. Even though Cain was a
pretty good natural athlete and in good shape from exercising regularly and
lifting weights, he was never good enough to make any of the varsity teams at
his school. Now he was in college, and his chance had passed him by.

    Eden on the other hand was able to make the varsity girls field hockey
team as a tenth grader. Now as an eighteen year old senior she was likely to
be one of this season's co-captains.

    Cain respected this accomplishment even though he'd never told Eden.
Ironically, it was partially due to the fact that Eden began using his weights
and lifting that helped her gain the strength and endurance to make the team.

    There was another benefit that came with becoming a fit and
disciplined athlete - another positive change that it brought to Eden.
Although she was his own sister, and it was hard for him to acknowledge, Cain
had to admit that Eden had turned into a pretty young woman. She had long
brown hair and a trim, fit body weighing in at around 120 pounds.

    The good thing about having a sister that was pretty and in shape was
that she tended to attract friends that were the same. One summer day while
Cain was home from college he could hear his sister and three of her friends
in the basement. Like Eden, her three friends also played field hockey.
Field hockey season was still months off, but Eden and her friends were in the
basement exercising on some mats they had down there in an effort to keep in
shape for the upcoming season.

    Along with Eden were her two best friends Janet who was seventeen and
Maria who was eighteen like Eden. The fourth girl was Maria's fourteen year
old sister Rosa. All three of Betsy's friends were pretty. Janet was a
slender, lithesome girl of about one hundred and ten pounds. She had long
blonde hair and stayed in shape by ballet dancing.

    Maria was slightly more solid than Janet. Even though she was an inch
or two shorter, she outweighed Janet slightly at one hundred and fifteen
pounds. Maria was visibly more muscular than the other girls owing to the
fact that besides field hokey, she was also on the swim team. Of all Betsy's
friends, Maria was the one that Cain thought was the prettiest. He liked her
long black hair and her dark eyes. He also admired her fit body. 

    What really caught Cain's eyes though was her amazing figure. Maria
had large, double-D breasts, a thin waist and a tight butt with a most
pleasing roundness. It was largely due to the way that Maria filled out her
swimming uniform that made girl's swimming a very popular spectator sport
among the boys at Maria's high school. Maria was hot and she knew it.

    It's fair to say that Cain had a little crush on Maria, but he'd never
worked up the nerve to ask her out. Part of this was due to the fact that if
she turned him down, he knew that Eden would never let him hear the end of it.

   Maria's younger sister Rosa was by far the smallest of the girls. She
was very slender and only weighed ninety pounds. She looked very young and
even wore her light brown hair in pigtails. However, despite her youth, Cain
suspected that as she got older that Rosa would become a knockout like her
older sister. Also, despite her slight build, Rosa's body looked fit and
strong. This was no doubt the result of her being a gifted gymnast.

    Cain decided that he was going to go down in the basement while Eden
and her friends were down there to lift some weights. He was in better than
average shape and had been making progress with the weights lately. He hoped
that the sight of his muscles flexing with his shirt off would be enough to
impress Maria.

    Cain walked down the stairs. "Who's down there? Is that you Eden?" he
asked even though he knew who it was.

    "Yes, Cain, my friends and I are doing some stretching and aerobic
exercises so that we can be in shape when field hokey season begins."

    "Well, don't let me stop you," Cain said as if he thought that his
presence might do so. Then he took off his shirt revealing his moderately fit
body and began doing some pre-lift stretches. As he did so, he looked out of
the corner of his eye to see if Maria was watching or had even noticed him at
all. If Maria did notice him, she hid it very well.

    He placed a bar on his bench press stand and loaded it with just under
two hundred pounds. Then he lay down and with much heavy breathing and
fanfare to make sure that he gained the attention of the girls, he lifted the
weight off the stand and lowered it to his chest. Four times he raised the
weight up and down before placing it back on the stand. The first three lifts
were smooth and steady. On the fourth, his arms trembled slightly.

    Cain hoped that his display would impress Eden's friends - especially
Maria. However instead of hearing the girls whispering about how strong and
in shape he was, he heard them . . . giggling!

    When he looked over, he notice that little Rosa was not only laughing,
but she was pointing at him and whispering something in Eden's ear.

    "What are you laughing at?" Cain asked angrily.

    Eden looked at him with a smirk and said, "We think it's funny that
you had so much trouble lifting such light weight."

    "Light?" Cain responded, "That's almost two hundred pounds! Besides,
I only had a little trouble on the last rep. My first three reps were clean
and smooth."

    "Yes, but how much do you weigh?" Maria asked.

    Jack was happy to see that Maria was paying enough attention to join
the conversation. "Around one ninety," he replied.

    "So in other words, what you lifted is just slightly greater than your
own body weight," Janet, the ballet dancer, observed.

    "Yeah," Cain said. "What about it?"

    "Well, any one of us can lift a lot more than just our own body
weight," said little Rosa, the ninety pound gymnast.

    Cain felt his face flush with fury. "Is that so? Maybe you girls
want to show be how much YOU can lift," Cain said angrily.

    "Sure," replied Eden. "How about if I lift you?"

    "Lift me?" replied Cain. He didn't believe his little one hundred and
twenty pound sister could lift his one hundred and ninety pound frame. "I'd
like to see you try!"

    "No problem," Eden said and she started walking towards her older
brother.

    When Cain saw the confident look in his sister's eye, he began to grow
concerned. "Seriously, Sis, you better not. You might hurt your-" That's as
far as he got because Eden walked over and quickly scooped up her larger,
older brother and threw him over her shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes.
Lifting him didn't even seem to be a strain to her.

    "See, I told you," Eden said.

    "Okay, you proved your point, now put me down," Jack said embarrassed.

    "I haven't proven my point yet," said Eden, "Not until I do this."
Upon saying this, Eden spun her older brother around until his body was lying
lengthways across her shoulders. Then with only a slight grunt, Eden managed
to get her hands underneath his body, and Cain felt himself being pressed by
his younger sister!

    "Okay, okay, okay!" shouted Cain, "Let me down!"

    "Not yet," said Maria, the next biggest girl by weight, "We want to
demonstrate a little 'girl power' to you."

    "What do you mean 'girl power'?" Cain asked.

    "We want to show you that pound-for-pound girls are a lot stronger
than boys," explained Eden as she calmly walked over to Maria holding her
brother high in the air - her arms fully extended. When she got to her
friend, Eden handed her older brother rather roughly over to Maria who held
him in a cradle hold.

    Maria then walked over to a large full length mirror that was hanging
on the basement wall. "Look at us," she said to Jack. When he did, he could
hardly believe his eyes. Pretty Maria, the cute girl that he secretly had a
crush on, was holding his much larger body in a cradle position and doing it
without effort.

    "This is crazy . . . impossible even," Jack protested.

    "If you think what I'm doing now is impossible, wait until you see
this!" Maria said as she lifted Cain up and actually threw him about a foot
into the air! The strong girl then caught the larger boy as if he was a
feather pillow. Even though Cain was looking in the mirror the whole time, he
could hardly believe his own eyes.

    He was even more surprised to discover that he liked the feeling of
being in the powerful arms of the pretty high school swimmer. He liked even
more the feeling of her large breasts pressed against him. He secretly wished
that she would overpower him and cover his body with kisses.

    However, his male pride would not allow himself to admit that. "Uh,
put me down now, Maria. Please."

    "Not yet," said Janet, "It's my turn now!"

    "No!" Jack said emphatically. "This has gone on long enough!" He
started struggling to get out of Maria's arms. Much to his dismay he found
that he was powerless in her strong grip. It suddenly dawned on him that
Maria wasn't just stronger than him pound for pound, but that she was just
plain stronger than him. This realization made him feel even more attracted
to Maria than before.

    Maria calmly walked him over to Janet and handed him off to her. Even
though Janet was even lighter than Maria or Eden, she easily lifted Cain over
her head and carried him around the room for several minutes. She also made a
stop in front of the mirror to show Jack what he looked like being carried by
a much smaller yet stronger girl.

    By this time, Jack began to feel a little afraid. Now that he
realized that his sister and her friends were stronger than him, he began to
wonder what would happen if they - especially his sister - decided to take
advantage of the fact. Could he live with the humiliation of being bullied by
his own little sister?

    "At least I know that little Rosa can't lift me," he thought to
himself. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw something that made his
blood run cold. Rosa had walked over to the nearly two hundred pound barbell
he left on the bench press stand and started doing reps with it.

    She didn't stop at four either. She did ten clean, smooth reps, and
her arms didn't tremble one bit. After that Rosa did something that
completely blew Cain's mind. She did ten more clean, smooth reps with the
nearly two hundred pound barbell with just one arm!

    "Hey! I have an idea," said Eden. "Janet, why don't you hand my
brother over to Rosa and let her do her next set of one-handed overhead reps
with him as her barbell!"

  "Noooooo!" Jack protested. Now he really began to struggle, but once
again he found it impossible to break the iron grip of the much smaller girl
that was holding him tightly.

    Rosa walked over to Janet and Cain and took control - complete control
- of Cain. She placed her left hand in his midsection and lifted him high
into the air. She walked over to the large full length mirror and began to
lift Cain up and down over her head with one hand.

    Just like she'd done with the barbell, Rosa did ten one-handed reps
with Cain's body. When she was finished, she wasn't even breathing hard
leaving little doubt that she easily could have done twenty or thirty more
reps if she wanted to.

    When she finally put him down, Eden said, "Well, girls, I think we've
successfully demonstrated 'girl power' to my big brother. Let's go upstairs.
I think there's some fro-yo in the fridge.

    "Wait a minute," protested Cain, "Don't eat all the fro-yo!"

    Eden turned around and gave her big brother a threatening look. "What
did you say?"

    "Uh . . nothing," Cain said. He was completely intimidated by his
little sister, and he had a feeling that things between them would never be
the same.

    The girls followed Eden up the stairs. Janet and Rosa were
sniggering. When they got to the top Maria said, "You girls go ahead. I want
to talk to Cain for a minute." She found him sitting on his bench press bench
with his head in his hands sulking.

    "Cain, is it really so bad finding out that some girls are stronger
than you?"

    "I guess not," he agreed, "But what are you girls, superhuman or
something?"

    Maria let out a girlish giggle, "No silly, we just work out and stick
to a strict, nutritional diet."

    "Oh."

    "Besides, I'll bet if you give it a chance you'll find that there are
benefits to being friends with a strong girl."

    "Like what?" asked Cain, "I won't get my feet wet on a rainy day?"

    Maria laughed, "Sure! That, and if you want to come to my house after
dinner tonight, I'd be glad to show you some wrestling moves."

    Cain found the thought of being pinned to the mat by the mighty Maria
with her large breasts dangling over him quite appealing. "Where do you
live?" he asked eagerly.

    Maria pulled a pen out of her pocket and wrote her address on Cain's
hand. "Don't wash that hand before supper," Maria ordered.

    "I won't," responded Cain. He had a feeling that this was just the
first of many orders from Maria that he would be obeying from now on.
