Deb and I've been married for about fifteen years now, marrying just after her 20th birthday. She has a brother named Robert who is a couple of years older, and Robert married a younger girl named Cheryl a few years after Deb and I were married. We both had two kids right off and live close by to each other. There are only two quirks that seem out of place.
Robert is an electrician, specializing in solar energy systems, and the last ten years or so has spent an increasing amount of time out of town on contract work. The second oddity is that I accidently overheard part of a conversation between my wife, Deb, and Cheryl wherein Cheryl was confessing to Deb that Robert hadn't touched her in a couple of years. That was several years ago and I've heard hints that the matter hasn't changed. I suppose I can believe it, though. There must be something in the family blood because my wife lost interest in sex not long after our younger kid was born, and became totally disinterested a half dozen years ago. Other than that we get along great and she's a wonderful mother to our kids.
So let me describe the cast of characters. Deb is a couple inches over five feet tall, and of average build. That is to say, proportional figure of average weight, smallish boobs, and fairly short brunette hair. Cheryl is taller, about five feet six inches, built a bit heavier, large breasted, fair skin and long blonde hair. Robert is a bit taller than Cheryl and skinny as a toothpick. I'm a fuzz over six feet, still carry around 230 pounds, and still have the muscle mass of my football and weight lifting days.
Over the years I've often admired and wondered about Cheryl's boobs, really wanting a look at those puppies, but she'd always been very conscience about her modesty. In fact, even on vacation except for a bathing suit I'd never seen her when she didn't have a bra on. I'd popped over to their place one Saturday to borrow a tool from Robert and Deb was outside working in the flowers in shorts and a t-shirt, and from the swaying of her boobs I very quickly surmised that she was without a bra, but within seconds she excused herself to the house and came back out with her breasts firmly secured and stable in a bra. Still, then and almost every time I see her, I've noticed a tendency for her nipples to get hard and even in the ironclad brasseries she wears her nipples still make bumps in her shirt, sweater or whatever she's wearing.
Anyway, like I said earlier Robert is on the road more and more these days and Cheryl is left to do everything around the house. Now and then she'll call and ask me to come help with something, and that's fine. I've gotten used to it, and always offer my help when I know something is coming up. Deb even volunteers my help now and then.
So, let me set the stage. Cheryl's parents built a vacation house in an incredibly remote location in the middle of nowhere. Literally. It's along the coast but a full days' drive from here, the nearest town being a small burg that has only one stoplight and no four lane roads, for lack of need, and few people in the area. It's about twelve miles out of that town to the turnoff, where the road becomes dirt for another eight miles, then that gives way to an even more primitive dirt lane for half a mile to their house. There are a few other houses out there, all absentee owners too, but they are so few and far between that it's as if they didn't exist. Sometimes you can go for days and see no one else, walk the shore with no one in sight. No telephone, marginal cell phone service, but there is electricity. Water is from a well. The remoteness, solitude, quietness and lack of outside stimulation are a real shock to the senses when first arriving from the outside world. It's almost scary when you first go there, but after a few days you really begin to unwind and after a week you don't want to return to our world.
Cheryl grew up going there every summer with her family and since she and Robert have married that's where they've spent all their vacations. After her parents died she and Robert bought out her sisters' portion of the house, but they still let anyone that wants to go there have free use of the place. The only hang up was that Robert was having less and less time to go there, and even less to do the maintenance and seasonal repairs to make the place habitable.
A couple of months ago I was over at Cheryl and Robert's place to drop off something and the coast house came up in the conversation.
"So, Cheryl, ya'll going out there this summer?"
"Well, yes, I think. Robert wants to go but he will only have two weeks. I was thinking about going out earlier to open the place and get it ready to use so that anyone else could go when they please."
Without thinking I spoke up. "Hey, I've got some time this summer. I can go out and help out with things if you need me to." See, I had assumed that her kids would be along for the trip, as well as the guy that owned the house next to theirs that usually goes up with them to help out.
"Great, I could use the extra hands. Besides, there are a few things I can't do."
"Won't Ben be there, and the kids?"
