Note to reader: The stories previously posted in the series "Jack Awakens" and "Jack's Exploits" were originally the opening chapters of a book which I had started writing over the last few months. I have now decided to post the entire book, which traces the sexual development of a high school boy during his senior year, hopefully at the rate of one chapter each week. The stories previously posted have been retitled as "Jack's Education" in strict chronological order, under the "Novels and Novellas" classification, as the book covers a variety of sexual behaviors and experiences.

CHAPTER 10
Maria had taken the afternoon off from her busy schedule to supervise the plumber she had hired to install the kitchenette and renovate the basement bathroom and make sure he had everything he needed to complete the job. He had been highly recommended by her personal assistant as being a top class workman, versatile as well as efficient. This was borne out by the fact that the doorbell rang at exactly two thirty, the time she had arranged for him to be there to start the job. She answered the door and was pleasantly surprised to see a handsome man of about thirty-five, standing there. He was clad in T-shirt and shorts, with a workman's tool belt, and Maria was immediately struck by his muscular physique.
"Mrs. Johnson?" he said. "I'm Jake Plummer. They call me Jake the Snake, for I can get where other plumbers can't reach!"
"Yes, please come in. I'm pleased to meet you, Jake."
She showed him the two areas of the house where she needed the work done, starting with the upstairs section and then moving down to the basement. They decided that he would start with the renovation of the downstairs bathroom, so she left him there to get on with his work He obviously was a quick and efficient worker, for after about two hours, he called out to her, "Mrs. Johnson? Can you come down to check this out?"
Maria went downstairs and was somewhat taken aback by the fact that he had taken off his shirt and was working bareback. His skin glistened with a fine layer of sweat and as she watched, his muscles in his back rippled from his exertions. She began to feel some stirrings in her loins and her panties started getting damp, the same way that she had felt when she had seen Jack's naked form a few days earlier! He turned and caught her staring at him. He grinned and told her, "I hope you don't mind but I really do my best work without my shirt!"
Maria could hardly speak after she saw his well developed chest muscles and she began to tremble slightly. She managed to say, "No, I don't mind at all!"
He motioned her to come closer to inspect his work and as she did she could smell his manly scent, a combination of sweat with the cologne he was wearing. This triggered even more feelings of desire in her and she was hardly able to concentrate on his demonstration of the work he had completed. The bathroom indeed looked as good as new with sparkling new faucets and shiny tiles. "It all looks fine to me," she managed to say, her heart still racing from the erotic thoughts flooding her brain.
"OK, great!" Jake said. "I guess our next move will be to go upstairs for the next stage!"
For a moment, Maria was stunned, as her thoughts were still of the erotic variety, but then she realized that he only meant he was going upstairs to complete the conversion of the guest bedroom to a kitchenette. The main task involved in this was the installation of a sink, which he had appeared to have no problem with, as the second bathroom was right next door.
"Do you want anything to drink before you go up?" she offered. "Beer? Soda?"
He shook his head. "No thanks, ma'am! I never drink while working. I'll have a glass of water if that's OK?"
"Yes, of course," Maria replied.
Then Jake said, "Maybe I'll take a rain check on that beer for when the job's finished."
She nodded and went up to the kitchen to get his glass of water. He packed up his equipment and came up to the kitchen a couple of minutes later and she noticed that he had put his shirt back on. He took the glass of water from her still trembling hand and drank it all without pausing.
"My, you were thirsty!" she exclaimed. "Would you like another?"
"No, ma'am, that's fine! I'll just go up and start the next job." So saying, he picked up his tools and headed upstairs.
Maria went downstairs to clean up the debris left after Jake's work and to prepare Jack's room for his furniture to be moved down later in the week. She busied herself for the next hour and a half, but couldn't shake off her feelings of arousal at the sight of Jake's naked torso. She slipped her hand inside her shorts and down into her panties and felt the juices in her pussy with her finger as proof of her excitement. Just the accidental brushing of her clit with her finger almost gave her an orgasm, but she resisted the temptation to finish herself off.
She went upstairs to see how he was getting on, and was surprised to see the progress he had made. His shirt was off again and his exposed upper body was now pouring with sweat. She offered him a towel to dry off and he gratefully accepted. He turned to face her, showing her again his muscular and hairy chest.
"Ready for that beer, yet?" she asked him.
