As I toweled off from my shower, Loraine's car muffler announced Cindy's arrival home. She and Loraine worked at the Breakfast Spot.
My cock twitched as I imagined her 'accidentally' catching me naked.
There was just one tiny problem with this sexual fantasy: I couldn't figure a way to implement it without creeping her out. We didn't have that kind of relationship.
Still, I could dream.
A half-minute later, I heard Loraine's car pull away. I squeezed into a pair of bikini briefs as the door to my fifth-wheel RV opened. Cindy climbed aboard, eyes glued to her cellphone.
"Hey!" I called from the RV's upper level that housed the bedroom and bath.
She frowned at her device, giving me a distracted 'hi' without looking at me.
I sensed something wrong.
When she finally glanced my way, her eyes widened. Face brightening, she bounded up the three steps and spread her arms for a hug. She's four-feet-ten, so I had to bend my six-foot-two frame to compensate.
"Well, look at you!" she said.
In the five weeks since she'd moved in, we'd seen each other half-dressed a few times, but always in passing. I'd contrived this encounter hoping that our increasing familiarity would lead to something more than a warm embrace.
She quickly set me straight.
Eyeing my crotch, she shook her head. "I don't care how happy you are to see me, Larry. You're not getting any!"
I plastered a shit-eating smile on my face to make light of her comment. "Doesn't hurt to try."
She patted my backside, slipped past me to the wardrobe and undid the top buttons of her blouse. "Just getting up? It's almost two."
"Didn't get to sleep until after you left for work. Had a tummy upset most of the night."
She gave me a concerned look. "You okay?"
I gazed into her dark brown eyes. Even in her Breakfast Spot uniform she looked sexy. "Now that you're home, I am."
"Awww," she said, rolling her eyes. "Still trying to get into my panties."
"Maybe one day I'll get lucky."
She stuck out her tongue and finished unbuttoning her blouse.
I put on a pair of jeans. "How was work?"
"Busy. Good tips. Fred Moore tried to pinch my ass again."
"All in a day's work, huh?"
She took off her blouse and hung it in the wardrobe, then faced me, her small teardrop-shaped breasts tucked into a pink lace bra.
I put on a frown. "I wish you wouldn't do that."
She swiveled her hips suggestively. "Don't you like my boobs?"
"Yes, but you don't need to tease me like that."
Cindy flashed me a wicked grin. "You mean like greeting me in your underwear just now?"
My felt my face redden. So much for the cool facade I was trying to maintain. "I don't know what you're talking about."
She stepped towards me. "Tell me you don't get off having me quote unquote ACCIDENTALLY catch you in nothing except those briefs."
I struggled to keep my composure. "I just got out of the shower!"
She pressed a finger into my chest. "You just happened to take a shower around the time you knew I'd be coming home from work? I don't think so."
So much for damage control. She'd won, but I wasn't going to admit it. "I wasn't feeling well."
She stood on her tiptoes, raised her arms for another hug, her chest jutting out. I stooped so she could put her arms around my neck. I didn't pass up the opportunity to glance into her bra to admire her nipples.
"You're so fun to tease." She kissed my cheek.
"One of these days you're going to give me a heart attack."
"In your dreams."
I opened a dresser drawer to pick out a tee-shirt.
She plopped down on my queen bed, legs splayed. Her skirt rode past mid thigh allowing me a glimpse of turquoise panties. "I'm pooped. And my feet are killing me."
"How about a foot rub?"
She gave me a suspicious look. "No funny business!"
"Absolutely not! Just an unfunny foot rub.
She giggled. "Promise?"
I raised my right hand. "Scout's honor."
She smirked. "Were you ever in the scouts?"
I shook my head. "It's a figure of speech."

Two years after my wife was killed in an auto accident, I won a lawsuit against the responsible trucking company. I quit my job, put a large chunk of the settlement money into a stock index mutual fund, and used the remainder to buy a brand new truck and fifth-wheel RV. After my house sold, I hit the road to see this great country.
I met Cindy eighteen months later in a diner outside Oklahoma City. She looked almost young enough to be my daughter.
Dark skin, large brown eyes and long tightly curled hair, a petite frame of less than five feet, made her seem exotic.
Her face hinted at seductive mischief as she took my breakfast order. By the time she moved from my table I was nursing a three-foot-long erection.
I invented any number of reasons to keep her coming back to my table, including coffee refills until the lunch crowd began to trickle in.
During the following three weeks I became a regular customer, looking forward to admiring her pretty face and sexy figure. Among other things, I learned she'd been born and raised a mile from the diner, had gone through three boyfriends, all of them losers, the last one harassing her to get back together with him.
Then one morning she greeted me in a dark mood. The ex-boyfriend wasn't taking no for an answer. She elaborated sufficiently to convince me the guy could be mental.
When I offhandedly said I'd be amenable to taking on a traveling companion, she said she'd think about it. I took that as a polite 'no.'
However, a few days later, she had a million questions. Where would she sleep? What did I expect from her in return? When was I leaving? Where was I heading?
After work that afternoon I drove her to the friend's house where she'd been staying and helped move her things. Two days later we hit the road.
We got along well. Because of her size, she found my sofa a tolerable sleeping option. Occasionally we stumbled upon each other half-dressed, but that came with living in such a small space.
Her affectionate nature was a mixed blessing, her warm hugs often leaving me with an ache in my crotch. Each week the hugs got more frequent and warmer, coming damn close to being seductive. And her grin, with its hint of wicked mischief, sometimes made me wonder if she wasn't seeing how far she could tease me.
Although she never did anything overtly sexual, that didn't stop me from dreaming about a day when she might.
Now, five weeks after leaving Oklahoma, we were in a small northern Ohio town where she'd found work at the Breakfast Spot.

Cindy nonchalantly slipped out of her skirt and hung it up as if she always undressed in front of me. Her bikini-style panties made an immediate impression on my cock.
She climbed back onto the bed and lay face down. "Is this okay?"
A few X-rated replies ran through my head before I nodded. Still bare-chested, I closed the drawer with the tee-shirts.
Sitting on the edge of the bed I started massaging her left leg. She gave a loud sigh as I rubbed her calf and before I finished with her toes she was snoring.
She woke up when I switched to her other leg.
"Thanks," she said, yawning. "That feels good."
"You're welcome," I said, thinking of other parts of her I'd like to rub.
She let out a long sigh.
I continued with her foot. "What?"
"Nothing."
She wasn't a person of few words so I waited for her to elaborate, but she didn't.
"Something bothering you?"
Her reply was curt, just short of angry. "I said it's nothing."
I kept my voice calm to avoid escalating this exchange into an argument. "Okay, I get it."
A minute later, however, she apologized. "I'm sorry I snapped at you. I actually had kind of a rough day."
"Oh?"
