Kathy pressed the start button and sent the washing machine to work. She sighed contentedly, last chore for the day was underway and she could relax for an hour or so while the machine did its thing. She walked quickly through the house, took the stairs two at a time and hurried along the hall to her bedroom. As she stepped into the room she smiled and noted the increase in her heart rate. She moved over beside the window, keeping herself concealed behind the blockout drapes that were only parted perhaps a foot or so at the centre of the window. She angled her head and looked through the gap at the window of the neighbouring house. Like all of the houses in this estate, there was little difference in design between houses and next door was a mirror image with a window just like Kathy's facing directly at her.
It had been three weeks since the new couple, Matt and Olivia had moved in next door and apart from a brief introductory hello over the front fence Kathy hadn't really spoken to them. Kathy's husband, Ryan, had had a couple of brief chats with the husband and Ryan said he seemed nice enough and suggested they should invite them over for a barbeque. Kathy had intended to do exactly that but hadn't done so, mostly because it was now going to be more than a little awkward.
Two weeks earlier, Kathy had been in her bedroom, changing before going out for lunch when she noticed Matt standing at his bedroom window, seemingly watching her. She had stepped out of sight, annoyed with herself for not remembering they had neighbours now. She made her way across to the window, keeping herself out of view and pushed the drape across from the side on which she stood. She stepped across to the edge of the drape and reached over to pull the other drape closed but as she did she took a peek. Matt was still standing there, staring and when he saw her he simply smiled. He was wearing only a pair of shorts and Kathy noted his broad shoulders and muscular build and it was then that she did something so strange and out of character that it left her shocked. Rather than just reaching for the far drape and dragging it closed, she stepped across the gap between the drapes, knowing that she would be seen; that Matt was watching barely three or four metres away. She was not naked, she had a bra and panties on and even though the black bra and panties were not her best or sexiest, in that moment a terrible and tremendous thrill passed through her. Her eyes flicked across to the man next door and he didn't move, just kept watching. Kathy grabbed the far drape and slowly pulled it closed, all the while holding the eyes of the watcher next door.
When the drapes met and the only outside light was a sliver on the carpet Kathy put her hand to her face and wondered why on earth she had just done that. Just as quickly she noted that it had been a serious thrill and she did not need to touch herself to know she was aroused. She had gone out to lunch with two friends but said nothing to them about her strange encounter, if that was what she could call it. Upon returning home after lunch she had extracted a vibrator and worked herself to a furious orgasm, all the while with Matt in her mind.
