Tommy and his aunt, exhausted by their romp in the hay, stayed in bed for a while, talking and holding each other. Finally Tommy had to get up and get ready for work.
He changed into work clothes, came out and found Aunt Karen in the kitchen, making dinner. She walked over to him, pulled him into her arms, and kissed him. "We'll have to be careful for the next few days," she said. "Your Uncle Dave will be home tomorrow."
Uncle Dave. Tommy went cold inside. He hadn't thought much about his uncle, who hadn't been home since he arrived at his aunt's house.
Karen sensed her nephew's anxiety and kissed him gently. "Don't worry, Tommy," she said, "Your uncle probably won't be home long. And when he leaves again..." She gave the young man a smile that made his cock lurch.
"Ah...I'll see you later, Aunt Karen, I-I...um... have to get to work," Tommy stammered. He backed out of her embrace and headed out the door.
Things were slow at the Inn, so Tommy and Tina got to talk quite a bit. Her little boy was in day-care, she told him, and the lady who ran the school told her that Tina's son was one of the brightest youngsters she'd encountered in a while. "She thinks I ought to get him into pre-school," Tina said, her eyes and voice filled with pride. "Only problem is, that costs money. Money I don't have."
"Hey, you know, my Dad works for the University," Tommy said. He had an idea that might help Tina. "They have a special school for bright kids. Sometimes they give scholarships."
"Really?" Tina replied. She looked at him, interested.
"Yeah," Tommy continued, "the lady who runs the program is a friend of my Dad's. Why don't I give her a call?"
Tina looked a little uncertain. "You sure it won't be any trouble?" she asked. "I mean, I don't want you getting in trouble or anything."
Tommy smiled at her. "Hey, all she can do is turn me down, right?" he said. "I'll call her first thing in the morning."
"You're really sweet, Tommy," Tina said. She kissed him on the cheek and squeezed his arm.
Tommy felt himself blushing furiously. He knew the kiss was just a gesture of gratitude, but it shook him and he wasn't exactly sure why.
Just then, Mr. Dreisbach walked out of the kitchen. "Aha!" he said, and a broad smile on his face. "I turn my back and right away the help is carrying on."
"Mr. Dreisbach!" Tina exclaimed. She turned as red as Tommy.
"Ach, you know I just tease," the Inn's owner said. "You two are the best workers I've ever seen. In fact, you remind me of myself when I was your age. Now go on, start setting up for tomorrow. I don't think too many people will come in, yet, tonight, do you?"
The prospect of getting out early didn't bother Tommy, except it meant he would have less time to spend with Tina. When they finished setting up, Mr. Dreisbach told them they could leave.
"Mind if I walk you home?" Tommy asked when they reached the street in front of the inn. He wasn't sure where he got the courage to ask her. It was early, so even if he walked Tina home, he wouldn't arrive home late. He recalled what happened between his aunt and him earlier and...
"Tommy, you're blushing again!" Tina giggled. "Does the idea of walking me home embarrass you?"
Tommy shook his head. "Ah, no," he replied, "I was just thinking about what Mr. Dreisbach said, you know, earlier." It was a lie, but a lot better than telling the truth.
"I'd be happy to have you walk me home," Tina said.
