I grew up in a very small farming community. It was understood that when kids were old enough to get jobs, we would go to work. At age 14, I started working summer vacations in a grain elevator, a warehouse where area farmers bring their harvested grain to be stored.
The harvest lasted from late July until early September, and the daily temperatures were consistently hovering around one hundred degrees. Working in the elevator was hot, dirty work, and because of the machinery involved in moving grain, there was always the risk of becoming entangled. Consequently, I always wore very tight fitting jeans and tee-shirts that had no loose cloth to be snagged in the gears and belts. It was very physical labor. There was no need to go to a gym to get in shape; the work took care of that. My six-foot frame was well-muscled and hard as a rock, and because my work also involved outside maintenance, I was well-tanned. The hormone gods had generously given me very dark and moderately thick hair on my arms, chest, and legs, and under my arms and around my pubes. Anyway, after finishing my junior year at college, I returned home to work again in the elevator.
Now, as I said, all the kids were expected to work, and that included the girls. One girl in particular, Dori Hamilton, had caught my eye ever since we'd been in high school together. She had come home after her freshman year at college and had once again driven farm truck for her parents, Eileen and Dave Hamilton. Dori's figure had filled out nicely, and I was looking forward to her several daily visits bringing truckloads of grain into the elevator. Seeing the five-foot Dori driving a twenty-ton farm truck with precision and skill into the elevator was usually the high point of the day.
Though I knew Dori pretty well from school, I had only seen her parents a few times. They lived on their farm and didn't come to town often. I knew them well enough to speak to them, but that was about it.
On one late September day toward the end of August, I opened up the elevator promptly at 7 a.m., and there sat the Hamilton's truck. Since there was still dew on the ground and there was still the overnight chill I the air, I knew the grain must have been cut the night before. The morning sun was hitting the windshield, but I saw the silhouette of a woman inside, so I assumed it was Dori. I waved her to drive on in onto the scales while I walked to the switch room to start the machinery.
When I returned to weigh the truck, the woman standing at the scales was not Dori but her mother, Eileen. She was perhaps an inch taller than Dori, certainly a more mature and fuller figure at age 40, and she was wearing tight jeans and a long-sleeved flannel shirt over what looked like a white tee-shirt.
She saw my surprise and spoke first.
"Good morning, Dan. Bet you were expecting to see Dori."
She continued to take in all of my body, and it was beginning to make me a bit uneasy. She seemed to be paying a lot of attention to the bulge in my jeans just below my belt.
"Mmmmm. I can see why Dori doesn't mind driving truck now."
I felt myself blushing, and she obviously noticed it.
"Sorry, Dan. I didn't mean to embarrass you," she spoke somewhat unconvincingly. "But you are a nice looking and very masculine young man. What girl wouldn't be attracted to your muscles? And being so tanned and with so much hair on your arms, well..." her voice trailed off.
Now I was blushing, not just because of her bluntness, but also because the tone of her voice was generating an erection.
I tried to get my mind back on business.
"All right, Eileen, lets get you unloaded and on your way. By the way, where is Dori today?"
"We've given her today off to go do some back-to-school shopping. You'll be stuck with me all day," she said.
I have to admit that I was disappointed. I had the hots for Dori, so it was disappointing that I would not be seeing her that day.
I unloaded the truck and sent Dori's mother on her way. It would be another two or three hours before the grain would be dry enough to cut, so I busied myself with greasing the machinery and doing other maintenance around the elevator. Since it was September, harvest in our area was nearly over, so there would be relatively few trucks bringing in grain.
By 10 a.m. the late summer sun had heated up the outside temperature to about eighty degrees. The inside of the sheet metal grain elevators was probably closer to 120 degrees near the top where I was working on the machinery, so I had worked up a sweat that had my already tight clothing looking as if it had been painted on.
At about 10:30 I heard the rumble of a truck coming into the elevator, so I went back to the scales. Eileen was already out of the truck and standing at the scales waiting for me. She had taken off her outer flannel shirt as the day grew hotter and now wore only a sleeveless tank tee shirt with narrow shoulder straps. Like my own white sleeved tee, her?s was sweat-drenched. I could clearly see the outline of her bra beneath it. But what really caught my eye were her very exposed, dark bushy armpits and the comparatively large amount of dark hair on her forearms. I became instantly hard, a fact which did not escape her attention.
"Hi, Dan. We've only got one more load and then we're done," she said, her eyes spending more time on my erection than looking at my face.
"Okay, Eileen," I stammered, "Well, you're all weighed. Go ahead and hoist 'er up."
I dumped the truck and shoveled it out as quickly as I could, weighed the truck empty, and bid her good morning. As she took the weigh slip from my hand, she ran her hand slowly up and down over the hair on my forearm. Her touch felt like and electric jolt. She didn't say anything after that, just smiled as she looked into my eyes, got in the truck, and left.
Several other farmers brought loads in during the day, and they were all finished with harvest. About 3 p.m. that afternoon, I saw the Hamilton's truck pulling in. Out jumped Eileen. This time, I could clearly see that she had removed her bra. Her tee shirt, still wet with sweat, was nearly transparent. Here was a woman in her 40's with a teen-aged son and a daughter just turned 20, yet her breasts were astonishingly firm and erect.
She smiled approvingly as I stared unashamedly.
"Last load, Dan," she said.
"Great," I replied. "I can close up just as soon as I get you load into the bins, then."
"Is everyone else done for the year, too?" she asked.
