I had just completed my A-levels and I was waiting for the results. I knew I'd done OK in two but the other one worried me.
Then, my parents wanted me to go away with them on holiday but I demurred that I was old enough to stay home alone, as I was now 18. And, the compromise was that I didn't have to travel with them but that I needed to get a summer job to keep me out of trouble.
Well, I'd often thought about going into journalism after my degree and so I started applying. The best that I could find was an intern's job at a local newspaper in a town about 40 miles away. Now that's quite a distance on a bike, twice a day so my mother called her sister and arranged that she would give me a room for a few weeks.
As far as I could remember, I'd never met Auntie Blanche but I needed the job experience to add to my resume and I needed the room and I didn't need 2 weeks in Cornwall with my parents.
So one Sunday afternoon I packed my 2 saddlebags checked the tyres and set off. The first 20 miles went OK but then it started to drizzle which then turned into a steady rain. Which meant that, by the time I got to Auntie Blanche's, I was very wet and very tired..
The house was named, "The Laurels" and the front of the house said it all. The front garden was full of bushes, all of which were dripping wet and a little sooty when I arrived. Then I tried to remember where I'd been told to look for the key. Eventually, I found it but, as I was about to put the key into the lock, the door opened.
And there was Auntie Blanche obviously going out and dressed for the weather. She looked me up and down, pointed me to my room and the bathroom, and said she'd be back and that I should help myself to food.
I could not wait to get out of wet clothes, take a shower and unpack my meager teenage belongings.
A teenage boy is either tired, hungry, or both. And Auntie Blanche's refrigerator was full of good stuff and stuff I didn't recognize. So I chose the recognizable, ate, went to my room and crashed.
The next couple of days were filled with work because, as I learned very rapidly, newspapers work on weekends as well. But on Monday I was released in the middle of the afternoon from my endless chores of running copy from one desk to another and running shopping errands for anyone who was higher up in the pecking order than I. And, as I was at the bottom, that meant everybody.
My Aunt's car was not in the drive when I got home so I knew I had the house to myself but, since I'd worked all weekend, I needed a nap. On my way to my room and, perhaps for the first time, I noticed the coats hanging in the hallway. One of them was a bottle-green ladies raincoat with an intriguing aroma. As I stroked it as it swung on its hanger, I felt an unfamiliar but welcome stirring. My watch said that Aunt Blanche would not be home for hours and so I swept it from the rack, buried my face in it and took it to with me.
There, after I'd showered and toweled off, I picked up the coat only to discover that as I'd hoped, it was really a hooded cape made from some kind of rubber-lined material. It took only a moment to slip it on and poke my arms through the arm slits and even though I daren't look at my image in the mirror, the rubber felt so good against my skin.
Lying on my bed in the cape, I could not resist stroking my penis as I drew up the hood around my face and inhaled its scent. I came very quickly as teenage boys will but I'd been smart enough to bring a towel from the bathroom for that very purpose.
Then, as teenage boys do too, I fell asleep.
The next thing I knew was the sound of an intrusive cough and when I opened my eyes there was Auntie Blanche standing at the foot of my bed, arms akimbo, with a look on her face that I could not interpret. She was wearing a black mackintosh with a hood but all I knew was that I was naked under a ladies rain cape which I hurriedly pulled over my lower body and waited for I knew not what.
Without saying a word, she walked to the side of the bed and sat down on the edge. With one hand, she picked up the towel and sniffed it while with the other she swept the cape aside.
"Well," she said, "Let's see if you can do it again. Can you?"
I shook my head at which Auntie Blanche raised the hood on her own mackintosh, and with her left hand cupped my balls in the rubber lining of my cape while, with her leather gloved right hand, she started to masturbate me. All the time she never took her eyes from my face.
"Put your hand inside my mackintosh and tell me what you feel," she ordered.
"A rubber lining," I croaked because those were the first words I'd spoken since Auntie had caught me.
"That's right," she said. "Because you really like rubber don't you Colin"?
I nodded my assent as my penis was now thoroughly aroused as Auntie's hand moved faster over its whole length. And the increase in speed was accompanied by a growing crescendo of rustling from my cape and her satin mackintosh.
"Now put your hand under my dress and tell me what you feel."
I could feel a nylon-covered leg and said so.
"Go higher," she demanded, "And tell me what you find."
