I chuckled, proud that I’d taught him a lesson about intruding into someone else’s privacy. I spun around and Mr. Hoover was standing there. My jaw dropped, and I remembered what was in my hands. I threw my panties into my drawer and slammed it shut.
“He’s just a kid,” Mr. Hoover said. “You shouldn’t be so cruel. These are his formative years.”
“Well, he was in the process of being formed into a pervert. Do all men start off by sniffing their neighbor’s panties?” I said, leaning back against my drawer coolly.
Mr. Hoover eyed me up and down and walked over to my window. “Only the lucky ones. He’ll probably have a thing now for lace panties.” He looked out the window like a lord viewing his domain.
Now I felt a little bad about how I treated him. Yeah, he had no business in my room, but he was just a kid.
“Besides,” Mr. Hoover said, “you did that as much for yourself as for him.”
“What do you mean?” I fidgeted nervously. The power had gone to my head, but how did he know that?
“No need to be shy, Tina,” he said, still looking out the window. “I understand that. That primal power you only get when two people are communicating with their bodies. Plenty of people are tuned out of that. Too much time spent thinking, not enough time spent feeling.”
I swallowed, not knowing what to say. I found myself staring at him, my eyes spending all too much time on his legs, his ass, his wide back and his stacked shoulders. I imagined what that body could do to mine, if he wanted to. Could he pick me up? Could he pin me against a wall? My pussy ached longing to be touched. Damnit!
He turned his head slightly towards me. A small smile lighted his lips. “I’ll leave you alone,” he said. And just like that, he walked out.
I took a few minutes and just leaned back against my dresser, breathing slowly. I had a need, but it would have to wait until tonight. I had fresh batteries for my night time friend, and it would be getting a workout tonight. Of course just thinking about that got me more hot and bothered, so it was a few more minutes before I was composed and ready to go back downstairs.
Down in the living room, the men were all standing around, the game wrapped up. They were all in good spirits, so I guess our team won.
“Dinner’s ready,” my mom called from the kitchen.
I ran into the kitchen to help bring everything out. Her Swedish meatballs were in a large serving dish, and the smell was heavenly. I carried the large dish into the dining room and placed it in the center. Seeing no witnesses, I plucked a meatball from the dish and threw it into my mouth. It burst in luscious flavor, first sweet, then tanginess from the tomato, then savory from the lamb and beef.
Mom and Maggie brought the rest of the dishes into the dining room. We also had baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, Mr. Hoover’s couscous and a salad Maggie had made.
I came back with the last of it and felt a little twinge in my stomach. The only remaining seat was next to Mr. Hoover. I certainly didn’t want to sit next to that jerk, but I couldn’t deny that some part of myself did. I walked over to take my seat.
He met my eyes, his smile turning into a mischievous grin.
I gave him back my coldest glance. I was resigned not to give him the pleasure of getting a reaction out of me. I would not play into his hand. I took my seat without so much as looking at him.
As we passed the dishes around, I made it a point to take a bit of everything except his couscous. That dish was passed to me and I passed it right to him, meeting his eyes when I did it. I didn’t care how wonderful it was. It meant more to me to put him in his place.
Instead of taking the dish from me, he scooped out a spoonful onto my plate, then his own. “This is a recipe I picked up in Morocco,” he said. “The secret is the smoked cumin. Regular cumin will get you most of the way there, but in comparison it fades, like a jilted lover.” He took the dish and placed it on the table.
The nerve! I wanted to fling his precious couscous right in his face, but I wasn’t going got start drama. I enjoyed the other foods on my plate, but left the couscous untouched.
I felt a hand on my knee. I played it cool, not wanting to upset the other guests or my parents.
“I understand if you’re not too fond of me, Tina, but what did the poor couscous do to deserve such neglect?” he said, giving my knee a squeeze.
I laughed at some joke from across the table and slid my hand down below, resting it on his thigh. Two could play this game, asshole. I saw his eyes bug out slightly, and I turned to face him. “Maybe the couscous should take a hint,” I said, quietly to him.
“Now that’s a mixed message if I ever felt one,” he said. His hand squeezed a little bit higher on my leg.
I gasped. I could feel myself getting wet. Blood rushed to my pussy, my lips and clit aching to be rubbed, to be crushed, to be under him. My legs throbbed, and a tiny tremor went up my thigh, under his grip.
He felt it and got his shit eating grin back.
That wouldn’t do, so I brought my hand up higher on his thigh and squeezed. Something from below brushed against my fingertips through his pants. His cock! I pulled my hand back in shock. It felt huge. There was no way.
“You’re going to be trouble,” he said, quietly to me. The “R”s rumbled in his throat, almost like a growl. His hand released my thigh. He joined in laughing at something my father said.
I bounced my thigh under the table, trying to lose the feeling that I missed his touch already. How was that even possible? I set out to shut him down cold, but a simple hand on my thigh made my pussy gush.
“Earth to Tina,” my mom said.
“Hmm?” I said.
“Mr. Connor asked what you’re majoring in,” my mom said.
“Oh! Organic chemistry,” I said.
“Hey, that’s great,” Mr. Connor said. “We try to eat organic all the time.”
“No, that’s not,” I said, but let it go. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Conrad staring at me. Undressing me with his eyes no doubt. I met his leer and gave him a disappointed look. He looked back down at his plate.
After clearing up dinner, we all retired to the living room. Mr. Connor was trying really hard to engage with me.
“So what’s the difference between organic eggs and cage free eggs?” he said.
“I don’t know,” I said, hoping that would kill the conversation.
“Ahh, well, maybe they cover that next semester,” he said, walking off to talk to my dad.
I sighed and walked back into the kitchen. I stood next to the makeshift bar, looking out of the kitchen window. Outside, the sun had gone down, and an orange-purple light was shimmering through the trees.
“Are you the bartender tonight?” Mr. Hoover said, walking into the kitchen.
“Beer’s in the fridge,” I said, still looking out the window. “It’s so beautiful,” I said.
“None of us spend enough time looking at sunsets and sunrises,” he said. “Not interested in a beer. I’ll take an old fashioned.”
“Huh?” I said.
He sighed. “I guess tonight we’ll begin your real education. An old fashioned is a cocktail made with bourbon, bitters, and water. Ice is an acceptable addition, but if someone asks you to add sugar or fruit to it, you have met a person of low class.”
“Low class?” I said, raising an eyebrow.
“True, they aren’t totally to blame. Their parents bear some blame in how they turned out, wanting to ruin the perfect cocktail with candy flavors,” he said, standing next to me. “Well? Chop chop, young lady.”
I shrugged, picking up a glass.
“I’ll have mine on the rocks,” he said, watching me.
I scooped some ice into the glass, then picked up the bottle of bitters. I unscrewed the cap and sniffed it. It smelled nice, like a deep citrus mixed with woody notes. I shook the bottle into the glass once, then at Mr. Hoover’s nod I shook it again.
I added a splash of water, then picked up a bottle.
<
br /> “That’s rum,” he said.
“Oh,” I said, picking up the next one.
“Bingo,” he said. “A traditional pour is two seconds.”
I tipped the bottle into the glass and counted. One. Two. Three. Four. I smiled and handed him his glass.
“Trouble,” he said, walking back into the living room.
“You’re damn right,” I said under my breath.
He paused momentarily in his tracks, then kept on walking.
As it got later, my parents insisted that everyone go back to their places and change into their bathing suits. We were going to break in the hot tub in the back yard. The realtor had insisted that it was clean and in full working order, so tonight we’d see if she was telling the truth.
Back up in my room, I stripped bare and put on my one piece bathing suit. I looked at myself in the mirror, pleased with my curves. What I wanted to do was give myself a quick little diddle before the hot tub party got started, but I told myself that I had more class than that.
Glancing out my window, I looked out over the backyard. Mr. And Mrs. Connor were already in the hot tub, chatting with my parents. I looked over at Mr. Hoover’s house. It looked like his lights were off.
Maybe he had another party to go to. Probably. Some kind of rocket scientist chef party or something. I hated that I missed him. What the fuck, Tina? Seriously.
I wrapped a towel around myself, doing the boob tuck and walked downstairs. I took my time going through the house. This was the first night where we acted like a more normal family, doing normal family things in the new house. Sure, it was rushed, but it had been a great time.
I emerged out into the backyard, the summer night still clinging onto the heat from the day. I could feel a slight chill and I knew it would be best to get into the tub sooner rather than later.
“There she is. Come on in honey,” my mom said. “The water is fantastic!” She giggled, trying not to spill her glass of wine as she kissed my dad on the cheek. “Thank you for buying this place, dear.”
“Like you would have let me live if I didn’t,” he said.
I got into the water, enjoying the rush of hot water as my legs sank into it. It felt like a wonderful hot massage. The water jets kicked will full force and I closed my eyes as the jet of water pummeled my back.
My mom shrugged. “If we’d ended up somewhere else, what can I say. It might have been the ol’ one-two murder suicide,” she said, nonchalantly.
We all burst out laughing. My mother could be one crazy lady when she wanted to be. I guess that’s where I get it from. My father faked a look of shock, but it didn’t last as my mom attacked his face with her mouth.
“Eww,” I said.
“I hope I’m not too late for the party,” Mr. Hoover said as he walked over from his yard. “I spent a long time picking out my outfit.” His blue swimming trunks were as plain as could be.
“Mamma,” I said. I let my eyes take in his strong, thick calves. A light dusting of hair went up his legs. His quads were like slabs of iron, his tight skin showing every flex and stretch. I could out the swing of his cock through his trunks. A mesmerizing sway from left to right. He had a washboard stomach, the kind you want to eat breakfast off of.
He walked around the hot tub and got in next to me. Not too close, but my body was definitely reacting to his presence again. He slid down into the water next to me and I felt the water cascade over my shoulders.
“Lovely evening,” he said, looking at me. “And the night is still young.”
“It is,” I said. All around me, the bubbling jets erupted, churning the clear water so nothing could be seen underneath it. I got out of the water. “Anyone need anything while I’m up?”
“I appear to be empty handed,” Mr. Hoover said, “So a beer would be ideal.”
“One beer, coming up,” I said as I sauntered back into the house. I let my hips sway with a little more oomph, knowing that he was checking out my ass.
In the kitchen I opened the fridge and pulled out a beer. “What are you doing?” I asked myself. I was not acting myself. Something about this man was making me act like an infatuated teeny bopper.
But I didn’t care. Fuck decorum, this was something more important. This was about connecting with a part of myself, about having flirtatious fun. It was about beauty.
And working my vibrator so hard later that night that I might snap it in half.
I rested the cold beer against my chest, grinning to myself as my nipple became rock hard. I moved it to the other nipple and watched as it went erect and stuck out through the fabric of my bathing suit.
Back in the yard, I got into the hot tub next to Mr. Hoover and handed him his beer. I made sure to lean in very close to my hard nipples rubbed his arm.
For a brief moment he paused before taking the beer, then brought it to his lips while looking at me. I needed those lips elsewhere.
Some funny banter was being exchanged between my parents and the Connors, and I joined in on the laughter. I looked down at the churning water, at how it blocked sight to everything below. I wondered if Mr. Hoover’s cock was hard. Probably not, because if it stood straight up it would probably poke out of the water.
But there was only one way to find out. Under the cover of the churning water, I stretched my hand over next to me and let it find Mr. Hoover’s leg.
“Don’t,” he said, softly so that no one else heard.
“Why not?” I said, giving him pouty lips. My hand went further up his thigh, giving it a nice squeeze to repay him for the torture during dinner.
“Because it’s not nice to start something you won’t finish,” he said. His eyes closed, and he leaned back, breathing slowly and deeply.
My hand went up even higher, and I found his prick. It was snaked down his far leg, thick and solid like a sunken log. I couldn’t fit my hand all the way around it, and it wasn’t even fully hard yet.
He gritted his teeth and looked away.
As hot as it was to have this kind of power over this stud, I knew that I was being cruel. I gave his johnson one last squeeze, a little something for him to think about while he’s laying awake in bed. Suddenly the thought of him working his cock in his bed next door while he fantasized about me…
It was too much to take.
I excused myself and went into the house. I went upstairs to the second floor bathroom, flicked on the lights and locked the door. In a frenzy I leaned against the counter and looked into the mirror. With one hand I pulled my swimsuit aside, baring my hot and hungry slit to the cool air.
My other hand went to my breast, mauling myself as I rubbed tiny circles in my clit. I watched as my face contorted in ecstasy, and I imagined Mr. Hoover behind me, that washboard stomach flexing as he worked himself hard. I imagined him holding his massive cock in his hand, hard and needing the relief only my pussy could offer.
I dipped three fingers into my soaking wet pussy, imagining him plunging his fat cock into me. Stretching me to the brink, he would fuck me from behind while we both watched in the mirror. I needed him so badly. My other hand twisted my nipple and I came.
My pussy clamped down on my fingers, wanting to milk them for their nonexistent seed. Hot fire exploded inside me, and I had to stifle a moan. I clamped my mouth shut and breathed in and out through my nose. As my orgasm faded, I spun around and leaned against the counter, savoring the relief.
