The hot water heater was not working and of course, Heather's 'sensitive' boyfriend was useless in these situations. Ben was a nice guy and all...too nice at times, but when it came to working with his hands he was no good at all. To make matters worse, he had gone over to join some friends for a night of D&D and video games. Dumping more laundry on the pile and longing for a hot shower Heather got out her phone and called the man she knew would help her out, Ben's step dad Jim, or as was now more accurate, Ex step dad as he had divorced Ben's mom over a year ago.
"Hi Dad." Heather said as he picked up. She had started calling him that after Heather and Ben had moved in together.
"Oh hey, good to hear your voice again, its been a while, is everything OK?" Jim replied, as he had not talked to her in almost two months.
"Yeah for the most part, I mean we're both good, healthy and all that," she tried to sound cheerful and sweet, she knew Jim liked her, maybe more than Ben, as they had hit it off from the start, "It's just that the hot water heater is out and...."
Before she could even finish the sentence Jim jumped in, "And captain useless cant fix it? How long have you been without?"
"Couple of days now, laundry is piling up and I could really use a hot shower."
Jim could tell immediately she was getting desperate, "Don't you worry...I'll grab my toolbox and head over, shouldn't take me more than about forty minutes to get there. Do me one favor, make sure there's a cold beer in the fridge for me would you?"
Heather smiled as her thoughts drifted to soap suds and the best shower ever, "See you soon."
Hanging up Jim went out to the garage to grab his tools and headed over. Sure enough a half hour later his old truck was pulling into the drive.
****
Heather was 24 and tall at 5'9" with long flowing auburn hair, beautiful dark brown eyes and full red lips. She had never been overweight but had been curvy since her early teens. The source of her low self esteem for years, became her greatest asset by the time she had reached adulthood. Her 36DD chest, wide hips and well rounded ass always drew appreciative looks from men.
It had been days since she was able to do laundry and was running out of clean clothes so she was wearing an old tee shirt with the neckline cut out, as she normally used it as a workout shirt and some cut off jeans, she hurried to the door and opened it.
Jim got out of his truck holding his toolbox as he walked to the door. He had on an old beer logo tee shirt that showed off impressive biceps and some cargo shorts. Jim had been an athlete back in college but that was 25 years ago, yet he still carried himself well. A tall man at 6'2" and despite a little bit of middle aged spread he kept his weight around 200lbs, his once dark black hair had found some grey but his eyes were still a sparkling blue.
He gave her a big smile, "Hello Darlin', let me see if I can help you out of this mess...where is he anyway?"
"Off at some friends playing video games and probably enjoying a hot shower." She snapped back clearly annoyed.
"Don't worry let me take a look at things."
She led him back to the small laundry room where the tank and boiler had been mounted. He looked over at the large pile of laundry, her panties on top of the pile, she blushed as he smiled at her.
Setting the tool box down next to him he opened it up took out a small towel and a wrench, he set the towel down on the pile of clothes and started to work on the tank with the wrench. She hovered over him as he worked, when he looked up he could see under her loose fitting shirt. She had no bra on, as he looked at her underboob he began to grow in his shorts.
This lack of attention to what he was doing caused the wrench to slip and his knuckle hit hard against a tightened nut. Jim let out a stream of obscenities, "Oh sorry bout that." He said remembering that Ben NEVER swore and considered it foul to do so.
"It's OK, sometimes a MAN has to do those kind of things." Heather replied.
A MAN? Jim thought to himself about the way she said that, he smiled and reached for the towel. As he picked it up he also happened to grab her dirty panties that were lying just under it. As he brought it to his face she tried to say something but couldn't speak quickly enough, as her face flushed with embarrassment, Jim wiped his brow. A curious look on his face, this wasn't the rough terry cloth of his towel it was smooth and silky, his nose caught a whiff as he realized what had happened, he couldn't help himself and he inhaled deeply. As she watched him she felt a jolt of electricity run through her body and straight to her pussy, instantly starting to get wet, she blushed at the feeling. She blushed even more looking down at him, her panties on his face, she noticed the impressive bulge in his shorts as well.
"Oh shit I'm sorry," Jim said, removing her panties away from his face. "I was reaching for my towel."
"Well that just happened." She said bringing her hands up to her face but managing a smile.
"Don't be embarrassed...erm...would it help if I told you I liked it?" Jim started blushing.
"Would it help if I liked your reaction?" She replied as her nipples hardened under the thin tee shirt.
The sexual tension in the room was palpable as they stared at each other.
"Uhmm, you ready for that beer?" She asked breaking the long lustful silence.
"Just about got this fixed if you want to grab it for me I should have this old heater working in just a minute."
Heather had the beer on the bottom shelf and left it there to stay good and cold, she heard the old tank roar to life and Jim come walking into the kitchen, wiping his hands, this time on the towel.
"That should keep it going for a while, just needed to tighten the coupling, but it will take an hour or two until the water gets hot." He explained to her.
"Let me get you that beer then," she said opening the fridge. Bending at the waist to grab it off the bottom shelf knowing she was giving Jim a good view of her ass, "Why don't you go sit on the couch, make yourself comfy?" she suggested.
Jim nodded politely and took the cold beer, downing half of it in one pull. He shrugged, "It gets hot working on those things." He offered up and moved into the living room and sat on the couch. Jim was beginning to wonder to himself how far this was going to go, they had past the point of innocent flirtation and banter.
His thoughts were broken as Heather walked in behind him, she smiled a coy smile, "Once you cool down that with that beer dad I've got some bourbon hidden away".
Hidden because Ben was against what he called 'strong drink'. "I know what a bourbon man you are, so I made sure to get it thinking of the next time you came over." She said, her chest heaving as she looked at this man on her couch, a strong and sturdy man, the type man that knew what he wanted and usually got it.
"That's very sweet of you I'd love one." He told her.
She quickly got out the bottle and made him a drink on the rocks and poured one for herself.
Handing it to him she smiled and sat down in the chair across from him, she could feel his eyes on her, and she liked the way it felt.
"So you bought this bottle thinking of me coming over, knowing Ben wouldn't want this around, so you must have been thinking of me coming over when he wasn't here?"
She blushed again, it was true, although she hadn't even considered it at the time, "Yes Daddy."
The sexual tension in the room was back, and Jim's cock twitched. It was time to push his luck. "And these thoughts, perhaps late at night, in your bed......" his voice trailed off.
Her hand was quivering as she brought the drink to her lips, then swallowing hard she looked up, what she said next surprised herself as much as Jim.
Nodding at his question, "Late at night...in bed...after being disappointed again...I play with myself."
Jim almost spit out his drink when she said that but remained calm and stoic, looking at her, he raised an eyebrow.
"Ben is a sweet man and it was him being so nice and sensitive that first drew me to him. But the whole 'Is it alright if I kiss you here? May I touch you there?' thing has worn thin. Sometimes a girl just wants...wants...wants be taken!" Her nipples visibly hard again, if she had panties on they would have been soaked.
"I understand, we all have needs, and I think most of us have needs that aren't being met," Jim admitted to himself and Heather, "It's just another problem around here I'm sure Ben wont be fixing anytime soon, it's a problem that needs some attention, you know from a certain type of guy."
