Ch. 9
Kevin loved to take long showers. It was his way of relaxing and getting his mind off things.
One particular afternoon he was in such a good mood, he sang happily in the shower, using the water-proof walkman he got for Christmas the year before.
He was lathering himself up, having a good old time, then suddenly he saw the shower curtain woosh wide open, and startled, he jumped back a bit.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you?"
It was Janet. And she was agitated.
"I'm sorry - I had my walkman on," Kevin explained. He stood there completely naked, with Janet dressed in a mini skirt and purple top. He looked down to see she still had her heels on from work, and she was wearing black stockings. God Kevin loved those black stockings she wore. He would always look forward to seeing her in them.
Janet sighed out of disgust because of having to shout for him so many times.
"I knew I never should have gotten you that thing," she said of the walkman. "God I was scre-e-e-e-e-ming and scre-e-e-e-e-ming for you. I was like Kevin! Kevin! Ed?! Kevin!"
He noticed she kept going along with the "Ed" joke. He loved it. "Don't ever make me call for you that many times ever again. Do you understand me young man?" she asked solemnly.
"Yes mam," he said, cowering a bit. He was starting to enjoy being under her command.
"I thought you were masturbating again," she said, again showing her displeasure. "And you just walked right in on me?" he asked with a laugh.
Again, she groaned.
"Sweetie when I'm in a hurry, your privacy isn't exactly high on my priority list," she scoffed.
He again laughed at her openness.
"Now listen. I am going to a meeting for work, your sister is at the library, and your father won't be home for another few days as you know, so there is a dinner for you in the fridge - just heat it up, but DON'T FORGET to turn off the stove," she instructed.
"Yes, mam," he said, again very obedient. He now made sure his arms were completely at his side. It was an arousing feeling for him to be looking at his fully-clothed step mom while he stood there completely nude, knowing she was free to look down and see his penis. He was so engrossed with that thought that he wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. She told him a few other things, but he didn't hear her.
"Now tell me what you're going to do when I'm gone," she instructed, her hands now on her hips in an authoritative fashion.
"Um," he stammered. "My dinner's in the fridge, heat it up - "
"And what else? Don't forget to turn off the..."
"Stove," he said. "Very good, and what else?" She now blatantly glanced down at his penis. "Come on, what else?" she asked.
He nervously fondled his penis, stalling and trying to think of what she told him to do.
"Don't stand there fiddling with your wiener, tell me what I JUST told you like five seconds ago," she said angrily. He hadn't a clue what she instructed him to do.
Now she was pissed. She fell back on old habits, and pulled him by the ear out of the tub.
"Ouwww, mom, stop," he said. He loved calling her "mom" instead of Janet. It made his nudity that much more risquΓ©.
"I swear, honey, this is the only way to get through to you," she said. She pulled him all the way downstairs out to the kitchen, his naked penis swinging back and forth the whole way.
"There, right there!" she said, pointing to the corner of the room. "Look at all those trash bags! Take out the trash! It's your responsibility, I told you several times the last couple days, and you refuse to do it! Do it, or there will be hell to play, you understand?"
Her tone got angrier and more persistent. "Yes mam, I'm sorry," he said.
"Well okay then," the young step mom replied. She again looked down at his not-so private area. "Now...put your floppy friend away and go take out the trash," she commanded him. He laughed. But she wasn't laughing.
"Kevin I am so serious, I am soooo close to slapping the shit out of you," she groaned.
"Mom, I'm sorry I just - "
"Kevin, go...take out...the trash," she said. And he started heading upstairs. He did as told, coming back down fully dressed, and obediently took out the garbage.
As he got downstairs, Janet was heading out. "I'll be back around 9. Behave yourself," she said sternly, and headed out.
Being naked in front of her again, and her bossing him around in such a rude fashion, got him awfully excited, and the young man went upstairs to pleasure himself.
He took out a picture of Janet in a bathing suit, her huge boobs and big, tan thighs shown predominantly, and he began to read one of the letters that Janet gave him a few days earlier. This one was a printout of an email - some gentleman's correspondence with the sex therapist.
Ms. Clark,
What are some of the roots of me wanting to be a male stripper, you ask? Well, there are traces of it that go all the way back to my childhood, the feeling of arousal that I would get while fantasizing about being nude in front of a clothed woman.
But one definitive experience I remember happened when I was 18. It was the summer after I graduated from high school, and my two older step sisters, 23 and 24 at the time, and both still living at home, were carrying on about something in the kitchen.
They had always kind of bullied me when I was growing up, teasing me and bossing me around, and I kind of just went with it since my father and I moved in under their roof. My step mom was the sweetest woman you could imagine, and my step sisters, although pests at times, were good-hearted. So I endured their ridicules for the most part.
This particular occasion was kind of different though, and as I tried to watch television in peace in the family room, their laughter got louder and louder, until it erupted in all out screams and hollers.
"Lemme see! Lemme see!" one of them said. I went into the kitchen to see they were fighting over something, as Laura, the older one, was holding something that Gina was trying to get from her.
"Lemme seeeeeee!" Gina said. Laura finally handed it to her - it was a photo, I could make out that much, but what of I had no idea. Gina looked at it, her eyes got as big as silver dollars, and again she rolled over in belly-aching laughter.
Cripes! What the hell is so funny?, I though to myself.
"What is it? What are you guys carrying on about?" I asked. "You DON'T wanna know," one of them said. What the hell? Now my interest peaked even higher. Laura put the photo away in her purse. "I have to put this back before she knows it's gone," she said. Now, they were ignoring me.
"Laura, come on, tell me - what is soooo funny?" She waved me off again, and smirked. "Trust me little brother, just let it go," she persisted.
Now I was going nuts. I was not going to give in. "Just tell me," I said. Gina sympathized with me.
"Just tell 'em Laura," she said, crossing her sexy legs. Yes, I did always have a thing for her legs.
"He gets all weird when we talk about stuff like this," Laura explained. "He like, gets all embarrassed and runs out of the room."
Now I was starting to get an idea of what they were talking about. Was it something sex-oriented? What the hell was that photo?
"What's the picture of?" I asked. She again just gave me a smirk. "It's just a grocery list," she joked.
Gina laughed along with her.
"No, come on, tell me the truth," I said. "You can't handle the truth!" she said jokingly, quoting a popular movie at the time.
There was then a long silence.
"You wanna tell 'em?" Laura asked. "Noooo! You tell 'em," Gina fired back.
"We'll both tell 'em," Laura said. "How the hell we gonna do that?" Gina again retorted.
"Guys, for Christ's sake! Just tell me," I yelled. They laughed at how agitated I was. They snickered for a little bit then finally composed themselves.
"Okay....here goes," Laura said. "You know how our mom, and uh, your dad...and...all their friends..."
She was really drawing this out.
"Have parties during the summer...barbecues and what not? And then once in a while, you know, one of them will kind of be like, adults-only, that we were never allowed to go to?" she went on. "And mom would never tell us why, she would just kind of brush it off like, 'oh, it's just a chance for us grown-ups to get away from you crazy kids.'"
"Yeah, yeah, so?"
Laura looked at Gina and they smiled at each other. "Well...those parties are sort of different," she said with a big smile.
"Different how?" This was getting interesting.
"Well ya' see little brother, what's different about those parties is that...well, all of the men strip completely nude," she said.
"Ha!" Gina bellowed out.
There was suddenly a huge knot in my stomach. Laura was right, I did get weird when women joked about the male anatomy. Don't know why, I just did back then. I kind of felt like running out of the room right then, but it only got worse.
"You're kidding," I said. "Uh, no, not quite," Laura replied. "All of the lads just strip off all their dang clothes and have a big old party."
The knot in my stomach was tightening.
