I inherited a lake house from my grandparents after they passed away. It was on a large private lake with houses scattered about its perimeter. The roads to the homes are all unpaved. At first glance, it appeared rustic, but the majority of the homes were all very contemporary with all the luxuries one would expect in a modern vacation home.
Most of the homes were left vacant except for a few weeks out of the year. Only a few were occupied year-round. On my side of the lake, there was only five other homes with permanent residents. Pam Richardson lived just down the road. While my grandparents were still alive, they would often check in on her. Pam had no family and living at the lake year-round left her with very few friends. After I moved in, I began stopping in to check in on Pam and spend some time visiting with her.
She was a nice woman in her mid-fifties. She rarely left her home due to being slightly agoraphobic. She spent the vast majority of her time sitting in a chair watching television. She hadn't owned a car the entire time I'd known her. She had groceries and other amenities delivered from local stores. What she couldn't get delivered, I picked up for her.
Her shoulder length hair was graying. She was plump with rosy cheeks and teeth stained from years of cigarette smoke and coffee. She was always happy to see me and never had a negative word to say about anything. Other than the constant haze of smoke in her home, I truly enjoyed spending time with her.
Over time, I made a habit of stopping in to visit her twice a week. Her health was a little questionable and I wasn't always sure when she might need me to pick something up. But with winter approaching, I knew there would be days that I'd prefer to stay indoors. And she didn't always answer her phone when I called. I needed to have a solution before the snow began falling.
That solution came to me while I was running a few errands in a nearby small town. I'd stopped into an electronics store to pick up a new wireless router. When I checked out at the register, the man behind the counter, Charlie, told me they offered an installation service. He must've realized how unsure I was about installing the router myself. When I told him I lived at the lake, he smiled and told me that wasn't too far away and the installation wouldn't be a problem.
Our conversation continued and I eventually told him about my worries regarding Pam. I shared with him that she was even less computer savvy than I was. So whatever I did needed to be extremely easy to use. I could almost see the wheels turning in his head as he considered a solution. What he suggested was setting up a 'security like system' between our two homes. He thought installing a few webcams in both houses would allow the two of us to see each other. He even thought it would be possible for her to view my cam on her television. It sounded perfect and he helped me to choose wireless webcams and told me when he installed my new router, he could set up our homes with the webcams too.
The next day I visited Pam before Charlie was due to arrive. She initially thought it was a waste of money, but after explaining that we would be able to see each other as if we were in the same room, she told me it was a good idea and thanked me for worrying about her. She then became concerned if she'd be able to make it work.
Charlie stopped by and installed my router and the webcam software. He had me enter a password to protect against other people peeping in on me. He then helped me to position a pair of webcams in my living room. Before we finished with my home, Charlie showed me how easy it was to add additional cams to our little network.
We then made our way to Pam's home. She was a little nervous about having company and was up off her chair when we arrived. I'd already warned Charlie that we should try to get in and out as quickly as possible. And he did just that. In a very short period of time, Charlie had a webcam pointed at the chair Pam always sat in. I'd purchased a package of six webcams with the idea of placing them around Pam's home. But she refused. She said she was always in her chair and that was the only place I needed to see.
Charlie then played with her computer and television until a view of my living room appeared on her big screen tv. He was patient and had Pam switch from her television channels to the webcam several times. He wanted to be sure she understood how to do it. He also taught her how to switch from one of my webcams to the other. By the time he left, Pam was very confident that she could switch between them. On his way out, both Pam and I generously tipped him.
Pam and I were both anxious to see how our webcams would work, so I left shortly after Charlie. When I arrived home, I switched on my laptop and saw Pam sitting in her chair waving at me. When I spoke, I don't think she was expecting to hear my voice. She was soon laughing and told me to stand in front of my other webcam so she could try switching between them. I saw the little red indicator light change between them and knew she had been successful.
Over the next few weeks, Pam and I talked for several hours each day. The audio through my laptop was a little sketchy, but it worked. It was almost like we were living in the same home. There were times she changed to watch television so she could watch her game-shows. Afterward, she would change back to the cams in my home. She figured out how to use the mute function and it got to the point that I wasn't sure when she was watching me and when she wasn't. The only way I could tell was by the little red indicator light. We soon began talking less and less. Instead, she would just watch me move about my home.
Once I got over the awkwardness of having Pam watch me all the time. The idea of this woman witnessing my life became routine. She would sometimes just start talking and scare me half to death. Other times she would tell me where something was that I was looking for. And on one occasion, she told me my zipper was down.
I happened across the extra webcams one evening and out loud I announced that I still had them. I asked Pam if she had any suggestions on where I should put them. I heard her mic turn on and she asked how many I had. By then I knew she spent the majority of her time watching me move about my home. Without looking at the cams, I laid them out of the table in front of me and said, "Three."
In a calm tone, she replied, "Hmm, how about one in your shower and the other two in your bedroom."
A chill shot up my spine and I looked at the closest cam and did the 'tsk-tsk' thing with my fingers. I told her she was terrible. She teased me, telling me it was just the two of us. She reminded me she was homebound and needed all the entertainment she could get.
Biting my lower lip, I looked at the cam and told her I'd think about it. Just after midnight that same night, I rolled out of bed and made my way to my living room. I picked up two of the extra cams and placed them on either side of my bed. The third I aimed at my closet and the area where I stood to change my clothes. After activating all three new cams, I went back to bed and lay there thinking about what Pam would potentially see if I weren't careful. Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard Pam's voice through the speaker on my laptop. She spoke in a very soft voice, "Goodnight Sweetheart."
I glanced around the room and saw one of the cams I'd just placed was activated. I squirmed under my covers and looked at the cam and whispered, "Goodnight Pam."
Waking up the next morning, I sat up in bed and stretched my arms above my head. After yawning, I almost slid my legs out from under the covers. But it was obvious that my penis was very stiff beneath my underpants. The little red light was lit on the first cam I looked at. I whimpered, "Pam? Are you there?"
She immediately replied in a very cheery voice, "Yes I am."
I asked her to please look away, I had to go to the bathroom. She told me she wouldn't. She told me the point of putting those cameras in my bedroom was so she could watch me. I squirmed under my covers and told her she was terrible! But she was correct. I'd put the cameras out so she could watch. The whole point of putting them where I did was so she could see me at my most vulnerable.
