Part 7 - Morning
For the second dawn in a row, I awoke with a sense of foreboding. Looking around, I saw that Ned was asleep, but neither Todd nor Melina were present.
Getting up, I stepped through the pantry and back porch to the edge to answer the call of nature. The morning was beautiful. A little bit of fog over the lake, sunlight beginning to filter through the trees, birds chirping. The wonderful scenery of Nature assuaged some of the gnawing fear in my belly, but did not dispel it completely.
I was in the kitchen making coffee when I heard voices on the road out front. Looking out, I saw Melina and Todd breathing heavily, both wearing athletic gear. They must've just finished a run.
Todd said something to Melina about paying up their bet. She dropped into a pushup position and began slowly doing pushups. Todd crouched down, watching her. I saw that he was admiring Melina's toned back and shoulder muscles, which quivered with her exertions. Her back was very sexy, indeed, and I enjoyed the show as well as Todd. A moment later, she finished, and they came inside.
"Good morning." I said. Todd returned the greeting, but Melina barely did. Uh-oh. The fear knotted my stomach again, though I tried not to show it. She came into the kitchen.
"How are you? Have a good run?" I asked, tapping the coffee pot, as if it would make the thing work faster.
"Yes, it was good." she replied.
"Yeah, " Todd said from the other room, "but she lost to me and had to do pushups."
"That's what I get for giving you incentive like that." Melina said witheringly. "Maybe I should start trying that with Don here, to make him workout harder. Right, dear?" She pinched my side as she said it, as if to suggest I needed to lose weight."
"You'd kill me, but I'd do it to watch you do pushups." I said. Melina didn't react. I simply could not tell what her feelings were at the moment.
"Let me wake up Ned." Melina said to me, "and you can take them to the shower and show them how it works. With that, my wife went over to Ned's prostrate form. He was lying on his back. Melina straddled him, then sat down lightly on him, on his belly just above his groin.
"Wake up, sleepyhead." Melina coaxed Ned, leaning over and kissing his cheek. She let her breasts slide along his chest, then slightly wiggled back and forth, rubbing her nipples through the cloth of her athletic bra against his slender, hairless chest.
"Wha?" Ned said, waking up. Melina kissed his cheek again, then as he woke up, she pressed her lips to his.
"Good morning, handsome." she said. "Time for you to join us." She kissed his mouth again. Ned finally realized what was happening. His hands shot up, pushing Melina up. The movement was so sudden, involuntary, and unexpected that my wife gasped. She rose up off him, obviously not very happy at the "rejection."
"Oh..." Ned said, sitting up. "Sorry, Aunt Melina, I didn't realize what was happening."
"Yeah," Todd said in a sarcastic voice, "he's not used to being waked up by a beautiful woman kissing him. Are you, birdbrain?"
"Fuck off." Ned replied politely, looking around for his clothes.
"God damn, boy." Todd said. "A woman wakes you up by kissing you, and you push her off? Something is wrong with you."
As all this was going on, I was beginning to make breakfast. Melina came in. "I'll do that." she said. "You take the boys to the shower. And stay between them."
A few years back, I had built a shower stall. It wasn't much, with only two walls, concealing the view only from the lakeside, and a floor. There was an iron pot and a two-section fireplace. The pot could be placed in a circular depression, where propane gas flames would heat the bottom half of the pot, or wood could be used in a grate to the side. The water came from a pipe in the ground that tapped a spring, and the water could be directed to the pot, or straight to the shower (brrr!). Once the pot of water was heated, a wooden vat could be swung into place, and the pot tilted to fill it. Then the vat would be raised and swung over the stall by a system of levers and pulleys to provide hot shower water. The pot was big enough for two vats of showering I was happy with my little feat of engineering.
Todd said he wouldn't wait and would shower with cold water. He stepped naked into the stall and I lifted a cold vat of water above him. He lathered up, the ice-cold spring water apparently not bothering him a bit, as Ned and I got a propane gas fire going and began heating water in the pot. As Todd soaped up his genitals, his big cock and huge balls flopping around, I remembered what he had done to my wife the night before, and where that big cock had found its way.
After rinsing and finishing, Todd walked back toward the cabin. After a few minutes, I filled a vat of hot water for Ned. As he was soaping up, Melina walked up to us wearing a robe and cheap plastic high-heel slides that she could wear in the shower. No flat-heel shower shoes for my wife, of course.
"Mmm, looks good." Melina said to Ned, getting a full view of my naked, showering nephew's slender form, including his cock. "Can I get in with you, Ned?" She let the robe fall off her shoulders, showing off her most revealing two-piece bikini. It was beige, almost skin-color, and barely covered my wife's dark, erect nipples.
"Uh, I'm nearly finished." Ned said, furiously blushing, but his cock lengthening and bobbing. He very hastily washed off the soap and grabbed a towel. Drying off, he beat a hasty retreat to the cabin, mumbling his thanks to me for heating the water.
"I think Todd's right. Something is wrong with Ned." Melina said, as I lowered the vat to refill it with hot water. "Or is it me? Maybe he thinks I'm ugly."
"Harrumph! It couldn't be that, gorgeous." I said. I was going to say that Todd found her quite beautiful, but stopped myself. I got under the shower. Happily, Melina stepped in with me and put her arms around my neck.
"Mmmm, baby." she said, kissing my neck, then meeting my lips with hers. I kissed my wife hard, wrapping my arms around her, feeling intense love and passion for her. The fear returned inside my belly, wondering when, not if but when, she was going to confront me about the night before, then walk out of my life forever.
"I love you." I said, breaking the kiss. "Happy anniversary." I said, remembering suddenly that today was the day.
"Thank you, darling. I love you, too." she replied. "We really haven't gotten to spend much time together."
"I know," I said, as comfortingly as I could, "but it's okay. Maybe we can have some time today?"
