Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction concocted entirely within my imagination. Any resemblance to real people shouldn't be surprising since most of my stories are based on people I know. While I hope you enjoy this story and are compelled to provide feedback, I don't expect the subject matter will appeal to everyone who reads it. As such, I discourage venomous, nasty feedback full of violent wishes against essentially fictional characters in fictional situations. If this story does not appeal to you, there is undoubtedly one somewhere on Literotica that will, so your energy will be better spent on finding it rather than on vilifying me. Your opinions are welcome but your attacks are not.

It turned out that, regardless of how much sex I was getting since moving into Linda's basement, it wasn't enough to quash my desire to see Linda naked, too. It didn't help that, the longer I lived there and the more comfortable we were around each other, the more I almost saw her succulent tits or her sweet ass. I didn't want things to get awkward by having her figure out that I was interested in seeing her in pretty much any stage of undress, but each time she went braless or her robe opened up just enough to suggest that she was naked beneath it, I ended up thinking harder about how to get a look either into her bedroom or bathroom without getting caught. Most of the time it wasn't a problem as she was fully dressed when we were around each other and, though I could appreciate that she had a hot little body and bodacious tits in addition to her cute face, I was usually thinking about the next opportunity I'd have to get somebody naked down in my room, eat some pussy, get a blowjob or fuck a hot, juicy pussy.
It was the infrequent times that I saw her braless tits bouncing or her hard nipples pushing against her blouse or when I almost got a peek up her short skirt that would drive me crazy as I tried to brainstorm a way to see more. I was finally handed an opportunity that, while it still required a bit of planning, turned out to be the best thing I could possibly have hoped for. One evening when Linda and I were both home but neither of us had anything really going on, she told me that she needed a favor and led me to her bedroom. I hadn't been in her bedroom too many times since moving in but I knew that this was not her attempt to seduce me and not just because Ashley was still awake and playing in the living room.
"I need something better than this," she said, gesturing to the "full length" mirror that was attached to her wall just inside the door. It looked like something that would have cost just a few bucks at Wal-Mart and was barely big enough for me to see my full width, despite the fact that I was not a wide guy. She explained what she was interested in as far as both width and height and we even sketched on the wall a little bit with a pencil. I grabbed a tape measure and notepad and wrote a few notes while taking a few measurements.
"Size will probably ultimately be determined by what is available and what I can get into the house," I explained, "Location of the studs in that wall will also have some bearing but I think we can get pretty close to what you are looking for."
"Thank you so much," she said and hugged me, "You can see Bob's answer to my request for a mirror and I'm sure my dad would likewise not understand my desire for something much bigger."
It struck me right away that the wall where the mirror would be mounted was shared with the stairwell leading down to the basement and my living quarters and that the stairwell side had never been drywalled. I was immediately thinking two-way mirror but I knew that I'd have to do something on the stairwell side so that just anyone walking down wouldn't be able to see through it. Over the next few days, I was thinking about that while doing some research on two-way mirrors, how well they worked, where they could be purchased and any other tips or insight that I could find. Ultimately, I managed to find one that fit my criteria without too much trouble and placed an order. Meanwhile, I was also showing Linda that there would only be a single layer of drywall between the mirror and the stairwell and explained that I'd be doing some work on the stairwell side to protect it from being broken from that side.
I'd come up with a concept of some 2x4 bracing between the studs and behind the mirror with a few of sections being removable for viewing opportunities. While I was working all of that out, I also fixed every squeak I could find on the basement stairs so that Linda wouldn't hear the same telltale noises each time she was undressed. Things couldn't have progressed more smoothly with the delivery occurring on a day when I was home before Linda, so I was able to stash the big, flat box in the garage, and the following weekend being one where Ashley would be with her father. When Linda took off on Saturday morning to drop Ashley off, I knew I should have enough time to get the mirror installed and get all of the clean-up done.
I started by cutting the openings in the drywall and attaching the pieces to the "bracing" then got the entire wall "braced." I worked on the removable pieces until I had them coming out easily and cleanly but had eliminated the possibility of them coming out accidentally. Just as with the squeaky steps, I figured out how to expose the openings on the stairwell side without any telltale sliding or shuffling sounds. Once I had that completely figured out, I mounted the mirror to the wall on the bedroom side. I was impressed with the quality for the price I had paid and didn't think Linda would be suspicious of how much I'd paid since it was a large mirror of almost the exact size she'd wanted. With the mirror in place and my mess cleaned up, I did some tests for my own peace of mind.
I started by putting a bright LED flashlight right against the mirror on the stairwell side and checked it from the bedroom side, but couldn't see it even though I knew it was there. I didn't expect there to be any light on the stairwell side when I was peeking in at Linda, but I wanted to be certain that it wouldn't be an issue. I also checked to make sure I could see into Linda's bedroom if the light was dim on her side and that wasn't an issue either. I anticipated that in most instances, Linda would have the lights on in her room while I was in the dark in the stairwell, so the conditions would typically be ideal for me. It occurred to me that a row of vanity lights above the mirror would probably be something Linda would appreciate and that would be beneficial to my viewing, but I didn't have the time to install them before she got home, so I planned to just let her know that it was a possibility if she was interested once she'd had the opportunity to test drive the new mirror for a while.
