I was walking home from high school one lovely spring afternoon, some years ago, when I came upon a woman just ahead of me, struggling with a big bag of groceries. "Excuse me," she called out as I passed her. "Don't you live in 527 Kenwood?" That was the number of the apartment house where I lived with my parents. Yes, I answered, I did.
"I do, too," she said. "I thought I've seen you around the building." An attractive woman of average height and weight, in her late 20s or early 30s, she told me she had hurt her shoulder playing tennis and was finding it increasingly painful to carry that bag of groceries. Would I help her? Sure, I replied as I took the bag and we walked down the street together, exchanging names -- "I'm Miriam...Miriam Kranz;" "hi, I'm Kenny" -- and making small talk.
Once inside her apartment -- she lived in the west wing of the large building, my family in the east wing, which perhaps explained why I couldn't recall ever seeing her before -- I put her groceries on the kitchen table and headed for the front door.
"Oh, please, wait!" she said. "Could I ask another favor of you? Would you put the groceries away for me? I can't lift anything above my shoulder." Once again, I said 'sure' and as I began doing that, she made me a root beer float and disappeared into the back of her apartment.
When I finished putting away her groceries, and the soda, I walked to the front door and called out to her: "Thanks for the soda, Mrs. Kranz! I'm leaving now! Bye!"
"Oh, Kenny, wait, wait!" she called out. "I'm so sorry, but can I ask you for still one more little favor?"
"Ahhh, sure. But where are you?"
"Back here."
"Back here" turned out to be her bedroom and there she was, sitting on the edge of her bed. "I can't reach the zipper on the back of my dress with this sore shoulder," she said. "Would you pull the zipper down for me, please?" I gulped -- a grown woman was asking me to partly undress her. I hesitated but when she turned and, with a pleading look in her eyes, repeated "please," I complied.
I unzipped her dress from the neck down to the waist, exposing her back and her bra strap. Once again, I started to leave but she said "no, wait a moment, please. Would you unhook my brassiere? I can't reach that either, with my sore shoulder." Because she was leaning forward, holding the front of her dress against her chest, I figured she was being modest and that it was okay.
Of course, she could have pulled her bra down, rotated the back to the front and popped it open herself -- and while she knew that, I didn't. I was just 19 years old and had never unhooked a bra before. Somehow I got the hooks and eyelets of her bra apart. It was now open -- and I had an erection.
"See the strap marks?" she asked. I did. "Would you please scratch my back to get the circulation back?" So I scratched her back, where the strap marks were, and she just sat there, her head down, as if in a trance.
Then I noticed she'd let the top of her dress and her bra slip down across her lap. She was now bare above the waist and because I was sitting slightly behind her and to one side, I could see one small, pretty tit. Better still, when I looked at the mirror on her dresser, across from the foot of her bed, I could see both of her tits.
"Are you staring at my breasts?" she suddenly asked and I realized with a shock that she was looking in the mirror at me looking in the mirror at her. I stammered and blushed. "It's okay," she said soothingly, placing a hand on my knee and sliding it halfway up my thigh. "Haven't you ever seen a woman's breasts before? Or touched them? Do you have a girl friend? Have you felt her breasts?"
