Sheri got back in the car. I paused for a moment after closing the trunk to enjoy the view of her backside. I can never resist a woman in tight jeans. I take a deep breath, as I know how tense the ride home will be. Sheri unbuttons her blouse and I stare in shock. I see her tank top underneath and realize she is not wearing a bra.
“Sorry I am just too damn hot.” She says fanning herself.
“Oh, sorry let me turn the air up.” I say and reach over and turn the air conditioning up all the way.
I brush her breast accidentally as I reach to adjust the air. Sheri gasps. I notice her nipple hardens. She looks down and notices as well. I feel like apologizing but find it too awkward to do.
I get an erection after staring at her hard nipple for a minute. I lick my lips and drive away from my aunt’s house. The next ten minutes we drive in silence. The tension is thick again. I catch Sheri out of the corner of my eyes glancing at my crotch. It takes all my willpower not to smile or laugh.
Unexpectedly Sheri asks “So how is your love life these days?”
I mumble to myself for a moment before answering “What love life?”
“Aren’t you engaged?” She asks.
“Yeah, but our sex life has dropped off to almost nothing. Our timing is usually bad. Either she is in the mood or I am not or vice versa. It’s beginning to feel more like a deep friendship then love.” I say.
“I can understand that. It is like the situation with my husband. I guess it just goes to show that love is hard to define.” Sheri says.
I nod my head in agreement.
“Also hard to find.” I say.
We look at each other in silence. The tension thickens.
We arrive at my house and I carry in the suitcases for her and put them in the spare bedroom. Sheri follows me up the stairs. I stand in the doorway and feel her presence behind me. If possible the tension between us hits new heights making us both breathe hard. I turn around and we face each other. I take a deep breath.
“Do you want to go swimming?” I ask.
She laughs then says, “Oh shit. I didn’t bring a swimsuit!”
“Well that’s ok. The house is pretty private and it is not like you have anything I haven’t seen before.” I say teasing her.
I reach out and tickle her a little causing her to laugh.
“I think you just want to see me naked!” She accuses me half kidding half seriously.
“Maybe, maybe not.” I say mysteriously.
“Actually I wouldn’t mind taking a nap. Maybe I will do the pool and stuff later. I did not get much sleep the past week or so. The divorce is wearing me down.” Sheri says.
I nod my head. I notice how tired she looks.
“Ok, would you like any sandwiches for supper or pizza or something?” I ask.
“Whatever you decide is cool with me. Oh and thanks a lot for letting me stay here.” She says cheering up and giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
“No problem. Get some sleep.” I say smiling and I pat her on the butt as she turns to take her tank top off.
She looks back at me seductively and I close the door as she raises her tank top. I get a glimpse of her beautiful breasts despite her back being to me. The door shuts completely. My heart beats fast.
Later in the day….
The sun begins to go down. I already ate my sandwich by the time Sheri comes downstairs. She is now wearing shorts and her tank top. She yawns and stretches. I admire the view of her breasts straining against her thin tank top.
“God, I am starving!” She says.
I point to her sandwich on the table as I get up and pour myself a glass of soda. She eats her cold sandwich in record time and downs a glass of soda.
She looks out the window toward the pool longingly.
“I guess it is getting too late to go in the pool.” She said sounding disappointed.
“Not really. I find that when the sun starts to go down is the perfect time to go in. Less bugs, don’t have to put suntan lotion on.” I say.
“Yeah, I guess you got a good point there.” She says sighing.
“Well I am going to go for a swim and then relax in the hot tub. Feel free to join me anytime you want to.” I say as I stand up, grab a towel, and go out on the deck leading to the pool.
I pretended that I didn’t notice Sheri’s expression on her face. I didn’t really give her any alternatives as far as what she can wear in the pool or hot tub. In fact, I didn’t really have any alternatives for her. I don’t make it a habit of having spare women’s swimsuits lying around the house. I was smiling inside wondering if she would be brave enough to come in the pool naked.
Sheri is one of my braver cousins, but even so, it takes a lot of guts to be outside in the nude. Anyone can see you. Anything can happen.
I took off my shirt and lay my towel down on the picnic table on the deck. I noticed Sheri watching me from the dining room window but acted as if I didn’t see her. I crack my neck and dive in the pool. I enjoy a long, leisurely, swim around the pool. My disappointment grows with each passing minute. I was hoping that Sheri would join me.
The sun was completely gone now and I start feeling a chill as the temperature of the pool drops. I decide to get out of the pool and go soak in the hot tub. I notice Sheri watching me as I get out of the pool. Our eyes lock for a moment. She looks away and walks away from the dining room.
