I'm a very bad, naughty aunt. Now before you get the wrong idea, that's only half-true; I'm not really an aunt. My very close friend, Jen, married a wonderful, handsome man about a decade ago. Along with marital bliss came a step-son named Tommy. Tommy was a slightly rotund, cute little boy with chipmunk cheeks, hazel eyes, sandy blond hair, and a slight bulge around the waist. He also stammered around me whenever he tried to speak. I shrugged it off to shyness and awkwardness and thought it was adorable. I instantly became Aunt K and took delight in signing Holiday cards as such.
Not too long after that, Jen and her beau moved some hours away. I got married, myself, and our subsequent move increased the distance considerably more. After my divorce I increased the distance between Jen and myself the better part of another hour's worth of travel. As the physical distance between us grew, we spent less and less time in each other's company. The magic of the internet kept us close, if not in proximity. In pictures, I saw Tommy grow into Thomas. The little pudgy cherub grew into a fine, handsome, lean young man with chiseled features. When his first serious romantic relationship fell apart Aunt K helped to console him via Email. When he hit his first home run on the baseball team in High School Aunt K was there watching on video chat. When Thomas left for college, Jen cried on my virtual shoulder. Because Jen's husband was a little older, Tommy was barely more than ten years my junior. When you're in your twenties and he's a little kid one tends to view them as much younger. Even seeing the man he'd grown into through the pictures shared over the years didn't change my opinion of my young nephew being a little round waif.
Then came the question. Jen asked me to do her a favor, a 'solid' in her own words. Thomas had finished up college; with a degree in his hands he wanted to gain some experience to pad his future job seeking. Thomas had been accepted into an internship in the city not far from where I live. Jen asked me if I'd be willing to look for a place for Thomas to stay for a month or two while he interned. I immediately decided that we would have none of that. "I have this huge house all to myself and I would be delighted to have him stay here with me," I exclaimed. I also thought that it would be nice to have a male around the house again, even if said male was my young nephew. I hadn't had a man in my life in any real capacity, except for casual dating, for several months. I thought I had found a serious beau, but after a couple of year together either his attitude towards my wild streaks soured or I had changed. I don't like to think that I change, except maybe for the better. I should have known things were heading south when he chimed in with, "Are you really going to wear that out?" He didn't even notice that it was the very same outfit I was wearing when we first met.
Anyway, I felt that it would be fun to have my adorable little nephew around the house for a while. I could be the doting aunt and try my hand at baking. It would be exactly what I needed! Little Tommy could stay with me and I could give myself a break from my usual routines. I was excitedly looking forward to his visit. But then the day of his arrival came. He grabbed a ride from the airport to take him, and his luggage, out and arrived just at sunset. I had to force myself to not scamper out to meet him. I managed a slow hustle, feeling that I looked very aunt-like in casual shorts and a loose flowy top. I had my red hair tied back and chose light and smoky makeup rather than my usual sultry vixen look. I told the image in the mirror that she looked very wholesome. I even went through the torture of donning undergarments. Granted they were lacy and alluring, but undergarments nonetheless.
I still held the image of that cuddly little cherub in my mind, despite having seen how he'd grown. He was leaning into the front window of the car, his back to me, as I approached. Instinctively I noted that his legs were quite tan and muscular and the way he was bent into the window as he spoke to the driver showed off a very well-toned behind. What the pictures hadn't shown me was the fact that he had a very trim waist, broad shoulders, and that even from behind I could see the swell of his biceps as he gestured casually. I stopped in my tracks. I knew, academically at least, that he had grown into a young man. It had never occurred to me until I saw him in the flesh that he had grown into a fine, sexy, thigh-scorching hunk. My mind immediately raced along with my pulse and I had to mentally chastise myself. I was thinking naughty thoughts and the justification of "he's not really your nephew" thundered in my mind.
He turned and faced me, smiling. His boyish cheeks had toned into high cheekbones and a strong chin. His hazel eyes sparkled and his slightly plump lips rose into a thigh-melting smile showing off very white and straight teeth. I recalled his mid-teens when he hated the braces. I bet that he's happy he got them now! His sandy blond hair retained its color and was now cropped slightly long and random giving him a roguish mien that accented his facial contours nicely. He wore a simple aqua tank top that showed off his muscular torso quite well. Looking at him made me instantly wonder if he had a surf board stowed away someplace. The frumpy little boy of barely thirteen was long gone and had been replaced by a man very well-suited to pursue a career as an underwear model.
"Aunt K," he said. His voice was deep with an almost sing-song tone. He put so much emotion into just those two syllables that it was almost hypnotic to me. I just paused and smiled at him like a giddy little schoolgirl. At least I had the decency to not run my eyes up and down his torso. He held out his hand as if to shake it. I gave in to my whims and scampered the remaining few steps up to him and embraced him. I had forgotten all about wanting to pinch those cheeks again and was fighting the thoughts of wrapping my legs around those cheeks instead. To cover this all up I embraced him and hugged him tightly. His body was hard and just as muscular to feel as it looked.
"Tommy!" I sighed out. I wanted to sound matronly but it came out more like a mid-orgasm sigh.
"Please, Thomas." He pled through a laugh as we hugged. "Call me Thomas."
I broke out my reverie and started babbling like an idiot. "It's been so long, my how you've grown into a fine young man, how's your mother, Jen, are you hungry, I've cooked," all came out of my mouth in a verbal onslaught. Meanwhile I could feel my body reacting on a primal level. Yes, guys, we ladies also react physically to people that we find sexy; we just don't usually let it rule our minds and behavior. Usually, that is. Myself, when I get in the mood I let the beast run wild; this time I was trying to keep it locked up in its cage. My body wanted him just by looking at him. My mind was reminding me that this is my nephew, and my best friend's stepson.
My ex-husband wasn't exactly the body builder type and my last boyfriend had that rugged rock and roll bad-boy look about him, but he was merely toned, not a statuesque Adonis like Tommy...I mean Thomas. I insisted on paying the driver and Thomas went to the back of the car to unload his luggage. The driver's stare told me that my nipples were hard and I smiled to myself and made sure to give him an eyeful. I felt my entire body tingle at his attention and I was thankful that I decided to wear panties for a change. Thinking that the innocent driver would be an outlet for the lust I felt boiling up inside of me, I made sure to 'accidentally' brush his arm with my breast as I handed him a cash tip. I don't know why I thought that! Every time I think that just doing something naughty will quell my desire it only serves to fan the flames more.
The driver drove away leaving me and Thomas alone at last. The late spring setting sun highlighted his hair. He held three of his large bags in one hand and a bottle of wine in another. I could see his arm muscles bulging and his sinewy tendons straining with the weight. I looked him over in what I hoped was a neutral manner and noted that his waist no longer bulged as it did in his early teens. Now a handsome man in his early twenties he had a very nice bulge slightly lower than his waist.
"Mom says you're still into wine?" He questioned rhetorically. "This is from the vineyard owned by one of my favorite singers," he said.
