Cynthia was very good at compartmentalization. Her ability to remove things from her memory and seamlessly retain them whenever necessary was a valuable skill to have. And never was it more valuable than during a particularly awkward encounter.
In the days following the incident by the pool, Cynthia was able to carry on as normal. Despite seeing her stepson's best friend in the nude and discovering he had an immensely attractive side to him, she was able to move it to the far back of her mind and not allow it to consume her. Besides, she was busy enough with work and taking care of the house while Frank was gone on business. This was no big deal.
What also helped was the fact that she didn't see much of Kevin and his buddies as they went about their summer home from school. This made it easy for her to move on from the events of a few days earlier and go back to being herself.
However, with every rule there is always an exception. For Cynthia, that was when she was safely in her own bedroom with the door locked often late at night following her shift. This was when she enjoyed her alone time. At thirty-nine, her sexual libido never felt stronger. She almost always masturbated before bed, especially when sleeping alone. She had a whole range of sex toys to choose from, many of which were not unknown to her husband. In fact, they often used them together.
As she fetched her favorite one, a lifelike bright pink dildo about eight inches in length, she couldn't help but notice that Peter's cock was probably bigger. To Cynthia, she never imagined a real world phallus to outstretch her favorite masturbatory companion, but Peter seemed to do just that.
Compartmentalization was easily defeated once she made contact and instantly imagined the young man being the one to please her. She pictured what he looked like fully erect, having seen just a preview of that the other day. As a twenty year old, there was no doubt he could probably get hard as a rock and last much longer than an older man.
As she playfully thrusted the toy in and out, she happily moaned to herself with her eyes closed, picturing what it would be like to accept such a generously sized unit from Peter.
It was normally easy for Cynthia to cum alone. She knew what buttons to press and when. It was even easier when her mind drifted to her recently discovered favorite cock. Her imagination put her and Peter in many different scenarios, often culminating in him spraying her with what she fantasized to be a whole lot of cum.
After she reached orgasm, she tossed her toy aside and began to drift off to sleep. She instantly thought about other mundane things; work, finances, Kevin, and sometimes Frank. But Peter never made another appearance in her cluttered mind until the next night when it was time to have fun again.
------------------------------
Cynthia was about to call it a night. It was ten o'clock, the house was empty and she was on her third glass of wine. That was usually a sign it was time to turn in. Besides, she was eagerly anticipating another powerful orgasm alone in her room.
That's when she heard the door open and voices coming in from the front of the house. Kevin was home.
"Oh hey Cynthia, I didn't think you'd be up," Kevin said as he entered the kitchen. Cynthia was sitting at the countertop reading a book. "Hi, honey," she said.
Behind Kevin, Charlie emerged... followed by Peter. "Hi Cynthia," said Charlie with a smile. He stopped calling her "Mrs." a few years back. Peter nodded solemnly.
"Where were you guys tonight?" Cynthia asked, very careful to be as normal as possible. This was the first time she saw Peter since the incident.
"O'reilly's. Then Charm. Then a bunch of other places," said Charlie. "We had a day."
"I'll say. I hope you Ubered," said Cynthia.
"Pshh. Of course we did," Kevin said as he tossed the others a beer. He then walked over and refilled Cynthia's wine glass for her.
"Thank you, honey. How do you guys even get into these places?" she asked as she took a sip of her Cabernet.
"No one cards in this town," Peter said as he took a seat at the kitchen counter. "They're just happy to have the business."
"Learn something new everyday I guess."
"Can we go outside and smoke a joint?" Kevin asked, although he was clearly at an age where he didn't really need her permission.
"Everyone's staying over?" she asked.
"Yup."
For some reason, Cynthia felt a tingle between her legs when Kevin answered that everyone would be staying. Of course, this had to do with Peter. The idea of him staying in her house with his big penis was slightly thrilling to her. But she kept cool. "Fine by me, guys. That is, only if you share!"
---------------------------------
"You ok dude?" Kevin asked, cracking up laughing. Charlie sat back in the lounge chair staring up at the night sky with a permanent grin on his face. The others knew this was his M.O. anytime he smoked. As a usually loud and comedic guy, he would often get very quiet and subdued when he got high. Tonight was no exception. "Huh?" he asked as he snapped out of it.
Kevin laughed even harder. "Go to bed dude. It's 1am."
Cynthia yawned as she covered her mouth. "Oh, my goodness. I should head to bed too. I didn't realize how late it was. You guys must be good company."
"Or just good weed," said Peter. Cynthia smiled and nodded as the two made prolonged eye contact for the first time all night.
"Alright," Kevin said as he leaned forward and slapped his thighs. "I'm hittin it."
The four of them trudged inside. Kevin went upstairs and Charlie headed for the basement. "You know where everything is down there guys, right?" Cynthia asked. They nodded. "Good night, guys!" she called out as she headed for her room down the hall. Once she got in, she couldn't wait to masturbate. She had been thinking about it all night long.
She grabbed her dildo and jumped into bed. Just as she went to turn off the light, she couldn't help but think about the back door. Was it locked? She always worried about that even though she normally remembered to lock it. Reluctantly, she headed for the kitchen to make sure.
Once she got there, she was surprised to see she had forgotten to lock it.
Good thing I checked
she thought to herself. That's when she noticed him. Peter was still outside, drinking a beer under the stars. She opened the door.
"Everything ok?" she called out.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, thanks. I just wasn't ready to sleep just yet."
Cynthia paused a moment before grabbing her wine glass from the sink. She poured one for herself and headed out. "Can't let you sit here alone. You mind company?"
"Not at all, have a seat. It's so nice out."
"I'll say. I love it out here." She turned to Peter. "Hey, how's your leg?"
"It feels much better," he said as he placed his hand where the gash was. "Looks nasty but it's not painful."
"Oh, good. I'm glad. I fixed that stupid ladder the next day. I feel terrible."
"Don't be. If it wasn't for you, I'd probably still be bleeding out in the pool!"
Cynthia smiled as she looked at Peter. He was looking up at the sky. She glanced at his crotch and could definitely see a bulge. She thought about how it must be hard to conceal such a big penis most of the time. She wondered how after all these years, she never noticed it herself.
The two made small talk for a few minutes. Peter was surprisingly very easy to talk to. He wasn't awkward or shy. He always asked good questions. Cynthia found that charming and endearing. Then things took a turn.
"Sorry I got so weird the other day. I'm normally not like that," he said.
"Hmm?"
He turned to her. "Ya know, when you had to take my clothes off. I was acting like a doofus."
"Ohh, don't even worry about it. It's not everyday you're getting completely nude in front of your friend's stepmom!" she said.
Peter chuckled. "I think I've seen a few movies that start out like that!"
Cynthia snorted as she laughed. "Don't make me laugh when I'm drinking or I'm gonna stain my clothes!"
"Sorry," Peter said as he looked back up at the sky. "I'll go back to telling bad jokes."
Cynthia joined him by looking up. "Ya know, Peter. Charlie's always going on and on about his latest fling with the ladies, but I never hear about you. Are you seeing anyone these days?"
"Ugh," Peter sighed. "I'm in a dry spell."
"Oh no! I'm sorry. That happens to everyone though. You know that."
Peter turned to her. "I almost hooked up with this girl I was after for a little while."
"Yeah?" she asked, turning to him as well. "And?"
"She kinda ran out on me. Wasn't my proudest moment."
"On you? Lies! You're a sweetheart. What happened?" she asked.
Peter set the moment up beautifully. He craved the opportunity to talk about it with Cynthia. He sort of felt she would be open to talking about it as well.
"Well, we were kissing and all that. Then things started to get a little more serious," he stared.
"Spicy!" Cynthia said as she kicked her legs up on the chair and angled her body towards Peter. "Then what?"
Peter laughed. "She, ummm.... She saw it. And pretty much freaked the fuck out and said no way."
"No!" Cynthia shouted. "You're kidding me!"
"Honest to God! I'm not lying. She took one glance and lost it."
"I'm sorry I'm laughing," said Cynthia. "This is not funny. You poor thing."
"Oh, you're fine. Honestly, like I said, not my proudest moment. But ya know what? What are you gonna do? God gave this to me. It's certainly not gonna be for everyone."
Cynthia smiled and nodded. "That's a great perspective." After a pause of silence, she spoke again. "Besides, there are plenty... and I mean plenty of women out there that would be over the moon for what you have."
"Really?"
