I pulled into the driveway of my parent's house around 5:15 with my Dodge Caliber loaded down with everything from my college dorm.
"Finally," I sighed aloud as I shifted the car to park.
It was finally summer break and after a completely grueling junior year of college I intended to spend each and every day of it relaxing.
My parents had phoned me earlier in the month to tell me that they would be spending the majority of the summer in Europe on a second honeymoon. I tried to sound disappointed during the call but all I could think about was having the entire house to myself for a while.
Still sitting in my car, I looked up to see my neighbor, Riley, huddling with a group of girls, each of them decked out in graduation regalia posing for a picture.
Riley and her parents had lived next to my family and me as long as I could remember. Our parents had always been close and we had been forced to make polite conversation at various barbeques and dinner parties through the years. Riley and I didn't have much in common other than the fact that our parents enjoyed throwing lavish parties and expected us to be the best of friends.
Riley was three years younger than me and, guessing from the graduation party going on at her house, she had just graduated high school.
I chuckled, shrugged off my seat belt, opened the driver door and climbed out of the car to unload all of my dorm things.

The next morning I woke up feeling like I had been hit with a ton of bricks. I looked at the clock and read "8:45."
"Great." I said aloud.
Why didn't I wait until the morning to get all of that crap out of my car? A 6 hour drive would have been enough activity for any normal person but I had to get it all over with last night.
I knew that in this much pain I would never get back to sleep so I climbed out of bed and headed for the medicine cabinet. I took some ibuprofen and decided to go laze in the hot tub on the second floor balcony.
As I was setting the hot tub up I looked down at the fence that separated Riley's parent's property from my parents' property and I spotted Riley in her yard close to the fence, spread out on a yellow beach towel applying sunscreen.
My jaw dropped. I know that it's clichΓ© to say "she grew up," in moments like this, but it was truly the only words that made sense in my brain at the time.
Growing up, Riley was, for lack of a better word, awkward. Her legs were always too long for her body and she had little to no shape. She wasn't ugly; she just wasn't someone I gave much of a thought about dating.
Taking a second glance down at her I noticed that all of that had changed. Her hips and abs looked shapely now and her body had grown into her legs. She wasn't rail thin but from the looks of her body she must work out at least once a week. Her breasts filled the cups of her bikini top nicely and I guessed she was either a large B cup or a modest C.
She pushed a strand of her light brown hair behind her ear and sat the sunscreen bottle down. I suddenly became very self-conscious standing over her ogling like I was so I slinked down into the hot tub and tried to relax.
Thirty minutes later I stood to go to the kitchen and fix myself some breakfast and I stopped before I even got out of the hot tub. I shifted and did a double take to make sure that what I was seeing was actually happening.
The bottom to Riley's bikini lay discarded next to her right hip and she was absent mindedly flicking her middle finger across her slit. I couldn't tell if her eyes were opened or closed because she was wearing sunglasses.
I watched her for several more minutes as her finger became more deliberate and her thighs began tensing up. I felt hot all over and blood was quickly rushing to my cock.
I can't explain the logic or the reasons behind the next thing that happened, even if I wanted to.
I sloshed out of the hot tub, dried my hands on my towel and quickly grabbed my cell phone. I snapped three pictures in succession of Riley with her hand manipulating her crotch and headed inside to slide on shoes. I crept around the fence and silently walked up to her until I was standing two feet above her head. I was able to snap three more pictures before she realized what I had done and stood up, obviously angry.
"What the fuck are you doing, you perv?!" She said as she wrapped her towel around her body.
"You're the one laying outside without your bikini bottoms flicking your clit at 9AM, not me."
"That is NOT what I was doing and you don't have any proof anyway..." She trailed off.
I snorted and held up my phone that displayed my evidence.
"Chase! Delete those pictures or I'll tell my father!"
It took everything in me not to laugh at that last bit.
"You go right ahead and tell your father but you better be prepared for me to share these pictures with him."
"Go ahead. Show him. I was just... sunbathing." She said, halfheartedly.
This time I actually did laugh.
"Riley, you are going to have one hell of a time convincing your father that you were 'sunbathing' while your bikini top was still on and your fingers were furiously flicking between your legs."
"Ugh. What do you want from me?" She said, practically defeated.
I thought about her question for a minute. What DID I want? I honestly had no intention of doing anything with the pictures other than embarrassing her in the middle of masturbating... But for some reason, what came out of my mouth was, "I'll let you know tomorrow."
I left her standing there, angry and embarrassed and walked back to my property to think about just what it was I wanted from her.

I had just finished dinner and was opening my first beer of the evening while I thought about the incident with Riley from earlier that morning. She looked so helpless that I actually felt pretty bad about what I had done. I had no real reason to do it other than the fact that I could. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that she had stirred something inside of me and I didn't know anything other than the fact that I wanted to watch more.
My parents had sent a text at 3:00PM asking me if I would go to the lake house they owned and stay for a week to be sure that everything was in working order before the people who were scheduled to rent it for the summer got there.
I suddenly knew exactly what I wanted from Riley. I sipped on my beer and wondered how I went from feeling guilty for ogling Riley to taking pictures of her masturbating and confronting her with them... to blackmailing her into coming to the lake house with me for a week so that I could watch her do it again...

I awoke early the next morning and took my laptop and my breakfast out onto the patio. I ate and read about various sports news, waiting for Riley. I hadn't told her when I would let her know what I wanted from her but I knew that she would be over here as soon as her parents left for work. I finished my bowl of cereal and logged into my email while I waited.
Like clockwork, at exactly 7:30 Riley was walking up the path to my back porch. I didn't try to hide my smile. "Hey Riley, what can I do for you?"
"Don't play coy with me, Chase. Stop being an asshole already."
I closed the lid to my laptop and positioned my chair more towards her and said
"I don't think that you are in a very good position to be making demands."
I patted the chair next to mine and said "Come sit. We'll make a deal."
She looked exasperated but scared enough to do as I said. This time I hid my smile.
"I... enjoyed what I saw yesterday... and if you were willing to spend a week with me at the lake house, I will delete the pictures and we can forget this whole thing happened."
Her face got red as she realized what I had just asked her.
"You want me to spend a week alone with you, practically in the middle of nowhere, being your fuck-buddy?? Yeah, ok. That's not creepy at all!"
"I don't want to have sex with you. Well, let me rephrase that, the trip will not consist of me having sex with you. Not once."
