 I think maybe the fact that you're 26 and he's still 17 is more of a problem because relationships like this don't tend to work out. If you're around each other all the time, then when you break up it could be very hurtful and awkward. Perhaps this is what your/his parents are worried about.

 Maybe they are freaking out over the age difference too? The parents probably consider you to be siblings and thats why they freak out. For how long were you step-siblings? Are you living together?

I don't want to jump to conclusions. But I'm 28 and I couldn't see myself dating or flirting with anyone a few years younger than me. Everyone is different though. My real question is, did you grow up with him? As step-siblings, or did your parents just get together recently where you met him and fell in love? I completely understand your take on not being blood kin. But I'm just reminded of the Woody Allen situation where he fell in love with his adopted daughter. They didn't feel there was anything wrong because they are not blood related, but still people felt it was wrong.Good luck!
