John Flemming took a long pull at his beer and watched the lazy curl of smoke from his Marlboro Lite drift up towards the stained ceiling. The bar was quiet at this early hour of the evening – conducive to talking – which was exactly why he and his brother Joe chose this time for their weekly drink together.
"So, are you still concerned about him?" Joe asked as he sat opposite.
Joe was a few inches shorter than his older brother and stockier. His habitual wearing of short-sleeved T-shirts displayed the thick sinewy muscles in his arms and tufts of greying hair peeked from below his neck.
"Sorry?" John replied. For a moment he had been caught up in the pleasures that the Marlboro had provided. Since meeting and wedding his wife, Mona, his apartment had become a smoke-free zone.
"Your step-son, Colin. Are you still worried about him?"
It was not as if John had forgotten the last conversation that he had had with his brother a week ago at the very same bar table. There seemed no solution to the lad's dilemma then and he suspected that that wasn't going to change much this evening.
"Ah, I think he's just going to have to look after himself. No point in me getting stressed up about it."
"But still," Joe continued, "eighteen years old and still not been laid? It's a little odd don't you think? And it's not as if he's bad looking or anything."
"Like I said, Joe, not really my problem. He's Mona's boy. I guess he will sort things out eventually. Same again?"
Joe drained his half empty glass in one swallow and nodded at his brother. He could tell that John didn't seem that keen on continuing last week's discussion but Joe had given it some thought – a lot of thought, in fact – and he had a suggestion to make.
"I think we need to set him up with someone." Joe said as soon as his brother returned with the refills.
John laughed. "Yes, but who? We don't know and girls of his age – mores the pity!"
"I wasn't thinking so much about teenage girls." Joe's face looked completely serious to John and it made him pay just that little bit more attention. "I was thinking about a more mature woman."
Again John laughed. "Sounds good but I can't afford a hooker tonight!"
"What about Lynne?"
For a moment John didn't think that he had heard his brother correctly. He stared at Joe's face looking for signs of a wind-up. There was none.
"Lynne? What the hell are you talking about? She's his aunt for fucks sake!"
"Not really. He's your step-son. Theres no real connection."
John sat in silence for a moment. Joe's wife had a reputation for sure – everyone knew about it including Joe. And she was an extremely attractive woman – fantasizing over her curvaceous body had fuelled more than one lonely masturbation session – but to set her up with Colin seemed almost unthinkable – almost, but not completely. Suddenly John found himself actually considering the prospect.
"But she's your wife, Joe." He suddenly said trying to drag his mind back to reality. "I know she likes it a little more than most but..."
"I know, I know. She's my wife. So what of it? She's already fucked half of my friends."
"Only half?" John asked with a salacious grin.
"She's sucked off the other half! Look, John, I think this could actually be good for Colin. Give him a bit of an education, you know? Plus I've always wanted to watch her fuck a younger guy!"
"You want to WATCH?" John asked incredulously.
"Come on, bro. Haven't you ever dreamed about watching Lynne fuck?"
There was no honest answer that John felt he could give his brother and simply nodded silently.
Joe felt he was on the home straight. John was nearly convinced. "Go on, give the lad a call and tell him we want to see him at my place in an hour. What do you say?"
John quietly followed his brother through the unlocked back door of his house and into the kitchen. Fuelled by a couple of large shots of Jack Daniels he could feel his head swimming slightly and almost tripped on a raffia door-mat with the word "welcome" stencilled into it.
"Shush, bro," Joe hissed, "we don't want to let them know we're here, do we?"
John could hear voices from the lounge room and knew that his step-son, Colin was already present. He had not told the lad the real reason for asking him over but, even if he had done so, he guessed that Colin would still have sped directly to Joe's house – he had seen the lustful way in which the eighteen year old had looked at Lynne on many occasions.
The double doors leading to the sitting room were slightly ajar, not only allowing Colin and Lynne's laughing voices to drift out, but also allowing the brothers to peer in without being observed.
Being a warm, balmy evening, John had not really been expecting Lynne to be wearing very much but, as he peeked through to door, he caught his breath at the sight of her in a skimpy bikini top. Although she had obviously thrown on a pair of slacks to answer the door to Colin, the pants were very tight and showed off the contours of her thighs and buttocks to perfection. John glanced over at his brother. Joe's upper lip showed signs of perspiration and beads of sweat also dappled his forehead. He was clearly very aroused.
John looked back into the room. Colin was seated on the sofa and, oddly, showing none of his usual signs of painful shyness. Lynne was seated next to him and the couple were laughing together happily.
As John looked on, Lynne moved closer to Colin on the sofa. He had expected to see the lad shy away from her - the woman's reputation as an insatiable nymphomaniac was well founded – but Colin remained composed; if anything, John realised, he had moved a little closer to her.
"What about Joe and John?" John heard his step-son whisper. "I think they wanted to talk to me about something."
"Do you want to talk to them or have me?", was Lynne's reply. John could see the wide grin that spread over her face and was being rapidly reproduced on Colin's as well.
"What do you think?" Colin mumbled as he moved in and the two kissed deeply.
Colin and Lynne's bodies melded together as their hands began to explore. By glancing sideways, John could see that Joe was already sporting a good sized bulge in the front of his jeans and his hand was pressing against it urgently.
"Fuck, this is hot." Joe whispered quietly. "Nothing beats watching your wife with another guy, especially one as fit-looking as Colin."
